President Norton Welcomes New Students
ALEX MOWREY/ THE ROCKET
To our new students, Welcome to the Slippery Rock University family. Whether you are joining us directly from high school or transferring from a community college or four-year institution, you are about to embark on one of the most important journeys of your life – obtaining a Slippery Rock University degree. Slippery Rock University is very different from any other place at which you may have studied. To take advantage of all that the University has to offer, both in-andout-of the classroom, you need a game plan. There will be plenty of opportunities throughout WOW and the first couple of weeks at The ROCK for you to learn what you shouldn’t do… like don’t go home every weekend, or don’t skip class, or don’t eat only tater tots and ice cream (even though both are nice treats every once in awhile.) So, here are some ideas about what you should do formulated into a five-point plan to help you be successful at SRU. 1. Treat today as the day you begin to build your personal and professional resume. Regardless of the opportunities you may have had up to this point, SRU is the place to embrace new experiences. We have nearly 200 social, honorary and special-interest clubs for you to explore. Interested in how government works? Then get involved with SGA or RHA. Have a passion for capturing events with words or images? Then get involved with student media. Come from a land-locked area? Try kayaking. The goal here is to take some risks. Not the stupid, reckless risks that can result in injury, or get you sent home, but the type that force you out of your comfort zone and into new opportunities. Doing so demonstrates to future employers your willingness to learn and accept new challenges. From this day forward, every activity both in-and-out of the classroom should contribute to developing the attributes and skills that will make you a better employee, citizen and/or graduate.
I recognize there are a lot of demands on your time…class, sleeping, studying, sleeping, eating, sleeping, exercising, sleeping, working and sleeping…so you might be wondering how you will find the time to get involved. Believe it not, the best students are those that get involved. Why? Because, in order to handle multiple priorities, you have to learn to manage your time. And, time management not only requires practice, but is a skill that you’ll need for the rest of your life. 2. Be willing to pay the price. Someone once said to the famous violinist Fritz Kreisler… “I’d give my life to play as beautifully as you do.” To which he replied, “I did.” Now, you might not know who Kreisler is, but I bet you know many people, men and women, who have had to work hard to be successful. You can be successful at SRU. We wouldn’t have admitted you to the University if we didn’t have confidence in your ability to succeed. But you have to do your part. You have to go to class, study, ask for help if you need it and offer help whenever possible. We can provide all the ingredients for success, but you’re the chef. Your success isn’t on anyone else’s head; it is your responsibility. 3. Learn to get along with others. Most employers will tell you that people don’t fail because they aren’t smart enough or don’t know how to do their jobs, but because they can’t work with others. It’s our goal, indeed our fervent hope, that while at SRU you’ll be introduced to people who are not like you: people who come from different cultures and ethnic races; people who have different religions; and people who have different lifestyles. Each person on this campus adds to the tapestry of our University. Your goal should be to meet as many people as you can who are different from you, to learn about their cultures, hopes and dreams. Will you like everyone you meet? No. But I bet you’ll discover that you will have more in common than what makes you unique. And from that knowledge comes respect, and with respect for one another comes the ability to live, learn and work together.
4. Do the right thing. To be perfectly honest, by this time in your life you know the difference between right and wrong. When faced with life’s challenges (and you will be) or a roommate’s double dare or peer pressure to act reckless, illegally or stupid, take a minute to think about how your parents, family or real friends are going to feel when they read about it in the newspaper (or online where it will live forever)… and choose to do the right thing. It takes years to build trust and only a few seconds to destroy it. This is especially true for education majors where one bad choice could mean you’ll never be able to earn a teaching credential. Remember, you are known by how you act. 5. Take care of you. This may be last, but not the least important, point in my plan. You need to take care of yourself physically, mentally and spiritually. A Buddhist saying asks, “If you don’t take care of your body, where will you live?” Good question. You need to eat right, exercise, get plenty of rest and balance class responsibilities with study time and play. Be patient with others and hope they return the same courtesy to you. Set goals. Dream. In fact, dream BIG. You can’t exceed your wildest expectations if don’t have wild expectations. If you start to feel overwhelmed, ask for help. We have people everywhere ready to assist you. Talk to your community adviser, a tutor, an academic adviser or to one of the professionals at the health or counseling centers. You’re the reason they are here. And remember, smiling and saying hello to others as you cross campus isn’t only a tradition at SRU, it’s good for you! So, there you have it. My five point plan for happiness and success at SRU. I hope you will embrace this plan as the gift it was meant to be. Welcome to the SRU family, we’ve been waiting for you. Sincerely, Cheryl Norton, president

SRU Students: Have Time, Will Travel
New SRU Freshman are trekking across the nation to arrive in western Pennsylvania. What draws them to Slippery Rock?
Map Courtesy Google Maps Graphic by Jon Janasik/Kevin Squires
Over 150 new freshman students traveled from out of state to arrive in Slippery Rock over the course of the past week. Meredith Canfield, an incoming student from Anaheim, a city in Southern California, came for the Physical Therapy program. “I am interested in studying physical therapy and researched universities with physical therapy programs,” Canfield said. “Slippery Rock is one of the top physical therapy schools.” According to Canfield, she even toured the campus in the cold and snow flurries, but she liked what she saw. “I felt at home on the campus
and the people were very welcoming,” Canfield said. “Western Pennsylvania will definitely be a different lifestyle than Southern California. I am looking forward to experiencing the change of seasons and living in a smaller, more rural community. I am fortunate that I have family, Grandmother, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins who live within driving distance to Slippery Rock.” Find out where other students traveled from with our online interactive map at http://goo.gl/ maps/64JiV or scan the QR Code (At Right).
Being a Freshman: The Do’s and Dont’s DO: Get involved Make the time in your schedule to join a team, club or become a part of Greek life. You’ll get the chance to meet new people that could become your best friends and have something worthwhile to put on your future resume. DON’T: Go home every weekend Everyone gets homesick from time to time, but your college years will be the best of your life so enjoy every second you can here. Attend the sporting events on the weekend, go bowling or have a movie night, but don’t run home every weekend.
By Kristin Karam Assistant Sports Editor
The best years of your life start now. Strangers will become lifelong friends, you will look back on some pictures and wonder “what was I thinking?” and classes will shape your future. It all starts now. Freshman year is the time to define yourself and get started on the rest of your life. Nervous? Don’t be. You’re going to make mistakes along the way, but embrace them and learn from them. There’s no foolproof college handbook, but these few tips will make your freshman year run a little smoother: DON’T: Wear the lanyard with your I.D. around your neck There’s nothing wrong with being a freshman, but wearing the lanyard around your neck with your I.D. in it screams ‘freshman’. Just put your I.D. in your pocket, wallet, purse or bag and it’ll save you some stares.
DO: Go to class Remember that you’re paying for these classes and do need to learn something while you’re here. Skipping class from time to time isn’t the worst thing you could be doing, but don’t make it a habit. If you go to class, chances are you’ll learn something and get a better grade than if you skip all the time. DON’T: Always rep your high school It’s fine to hold on to those few articles of clothing from your high school glory days but at some point, you need to move on and support your university. Be proud of where you came from but be proud of where you are and where you’re going. Don’t hold on to the past. Embrace the future. Make the most of your freshman year. These next few years will flash by before you know it and you’ll wish you could go back to relive them all over again. Enjoy this moment and live it up. Good luck!

THE BIG CHEESE
The Rocket compares slices from the greater Slippery Rock area Whose pie reigns supreme?
Weege’s
Inferno
Domino’s
La Famiglia
Coffaro’s
Fox’s ALEX MOWREY/ THE ROCKET
Weege’s Pizza is conveniently located right next to the Campus Side Apartments and offers daily specials. However, the overall flavor was decided as less robust as some of the other pizzas sampled. Inferno Pizzeria gave the greatest size slice (see image) and a variety of different toppings and styles for tasting in a by-the-slice manner. Inferno is also the only location that does not offer delivery. Coffaro’s Pizza also offers pizza by the slice and has an on-site bowling alley to attract students. One negative
with the pizza was the uneven distribution of toppings. Fox’s Pizza Den offered a huge “Big Daddy” pizza for $12.99 and had a strong cheese taste, but was on the greasier side. Still, Fox’s was a favorite amongst our staffers. La Famiglia Pizza and Pastahouse’s sweet sauce could be seen as overwhelming by some, but no one had issues with the fresh vegetable toppings. Still, the pizza was relatively small for the price and could leave some still feeling hungry.
Domino’s is unique in that it offers apps and an online ordering option. It also has a large number of promotions. However, there was a good amount of grease on the pizza. Try some of these pizzas and others at “Battle of the Pizzas,” hosted by the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership will take place Thursday August 29 from 11 a.m. – 2 p.m. in the front patio of the Smith Student Center.
New businesses aim to bring students downtown By Kevin Squires Assistant News Editor
Three brand new food locations have joined the array of businesses on Main Street and the newcomers are working to make names for themselves. La Famiglia Pizza and Pasta House, Rock N Yogurt, and Inferno Pizzeria LLC are contributing new options for both food and hangout for Slippery Rock students. La Famiglia Pizza and Pasta House located at 354 South Main St. serves as the newest Italian restaurant at Slippery Rock. “We have the traditional pastas; we tried to branch out and do some special stuff,” explained Michael Szurek, 40, one of the owners of the business. “We have a candy bacon club that’s pretty popularunique to the area.” Szurek, an SRU alumnus, actually began cooking at the very building he now owns while he was a student. “In college you don’t really know how to cook; you cook macaroni and cheese…this is where I learned how to cook. I learned scratch cooking how to start with the basics.” Szurek said, adding, “I just really enjoy cooking. I really enjoy cooking Italian. I develop my own recipes and when I found out this place was up for grabs I pursued it.” Opening in the summer, La Famigilia’s customers have consisted mostly of locals. Even so, Szurek says that business has been good, “a lot of locals have been in and out and we had some of the University over;” adding, “everyone seems to enjoy the food. They appreciate the fresh vegetables; the variety on the menu is nice.” Szurek believes that
the variety on his menu encourages customers to come back again to try something new. The summer has also presented the opportunity to polish the business before students returned. “We’re adapting. We’re new. Some of the stuff I have does work some of the stuff doesn’t work. So we’re adapting to local tastes to get everybody interested and excited,” Szurek explained. He said that he is always looking for good candidates for workers, even if the restaurant is fully staffed. “If I find somebody who is very promising I’ll talk to them, I’ll look at them and if I can find a way to get them in, I will.” Rock N Yogurt, located at 152 South Main St., features an everchanging variety of frozen yogurt flavors and toppings as well as smoothies. Dale Boring, SRU alumnus, owns the business with his brother, Ken Boring, 46. Ken Boring described a typical trip to Rock N Yogurt, “[You] walk in the door. It’s self serve. Walk to the back. Cups are on the left. Yogurt is on the right. Pick a flavor or as many flavors as you want.” Next up is toppings. “We have dry toppings, cold toppings, warm toppings- have any combination you want.” At 43 cents an ounce, the yogurt is weighed, priced, then the customers can enjoy their treat. “A lot of people tell us that this is what this town needs. They all wish us well.” Boring stated. The shop rotates its flavors out about once a week, but both vanilla and chocolate are always available. Some of the more striking flavors brought in to the store so far include maple bacon doughnut and cappuccino.
Boring felt the key to success is all in the atmosphere. He explained, “The atmosphere is what you’ve got to have. It’s relaxing; it’s clean. We plan on getting TVs here too.” Rock N Yogurt also has wifi available to customers. Boring says, “At this point we have everything worked out as far as employees, but that could change.” Inferno Pizzeria LLC, located at 126 South Main St., is co-owned by Liza and Matthew Hovis, both 39. Inferno may be a new venture for the owners, but the location is not. Liza Hovis explained, “We have had this building in Slippery Rock for three years. It was my husband’s photography studio during that time.” The building was never expected to stay a studio forever, but the pizzeria concept was an unexpected decision. “We threw around every type of food option we could think of;” Liza Hovis said, “we knew we wanted something quick and fast.” The restaurant is adorned with works both from the former studio and specially designed pieces specifically created for the new pizzeria. She says, “The reception has been more than we could ever have imagined. We did zero advertising…and it was beyond our wildest expectation how busy we were.” She thought that having the business open in the summer and being ready when the students arrive in the fall was “a good idea” adding that the store now has a system worked out for the best service. Inferno offers a by-the-slice option for customers. “Where I was from, by the slice was huge and I knew I
wanted to incorporate that, especially for a college town.” Hovis stated. “Everyone doesn’t always have twenty bucks for a full pizza but they have five for a slice and a drink so that’s how that started.” The restaurant also maintains a BYOB policy. The name Inferno came about while the owners were brainstorming with their two children. Eventually, Mrs. Hovis stumbled upon the name and Inferno was created. She explains, “Those ovens are the key. They’re different from how everyone else around here cooks. They’re authentic true brick ovens. They’re like this inferno of an oven.” She added, “Everyone agreed that was it. We all went around shouting ‘Inferno! Inferno! Inferno!’ We love it.” Their most popular pizza both by the slice and by the whole pie is the Mediterranean. “We’re contemplating expanding the menu ever so slightly,” Mrs. Hovis said, “We are a pizzeria…you don’t go for Chinese looking to order a cheeseburger or up to Bob’s Subs looking for a slice of pizza…we’re not an Italian restaurant we’re a high end pizza place.” The pizzeria is also looking into adding a delivery option. La Famiglia Pizza and Pasta House, Rock N Yogurt, and Inferno Pizzeria LLC all have seating options and want to bring people out to Main Street. “We’re hoping to really pull students and get them downtown,” Hovis explains, “We wanted to make a place where you wanted to come.” Boring also stated, “Even if we’re getting ready to close we’ll let them [customers] stay while we clean up. We don’t kick anyone out.”

A Welcome from Coach Mihalik On behalf of ROCK FOOTBALL, I welcome you to Slippery Rock University! As an alumnus of SRU, I hope that your time and career here at THE ROCK will be as enjoyable and as rewarding as were my years as a student. I invite you to attend the home ROCK FOOTBALL games at Mihalik-Thompson Stadium. Whether kickoff is in the evening or the afternoon, the stadium is the place to be on a Saturday in the fall! For the fifth consecutive year, THE ROCK leads the PSAC conference in home attendance for football games. That is due in large part to our OUTSTANDING student section lead by the student group known as the “ROCK ROWDIES”!! I encourage you to become a member of the “ROCK ROWDIES” and join in the “home crowd advantage” at our home games. Tailgate with your friends and family before the game and then enjoy the atmosphere of ROCK FOOTBALL! Many special themes and events are part of each home football game such as Family Day, White Out Night, Hall of Fame, Homecoming and Senior Day. Make sure you visit the SGA Bookstore to buy “THE SHIRT” and also the t-shirt for White Out Night!! When walking on campus, say “hello” or when you are walking through the Fieldhouse, stop in the Football Office to say “hello”! I’ll see you in the stadium for my pre-kickoff “salute” to the students!! GO ROCK & THUMBS UP!!!
ALEX MOWREY/ THE ROCKET
Dr. George Mihalik Head Football Coach
From the Desk of: Kevin Currie, Director of Residence Life Welcome to Your New Home! Here at Residence Life we hope you are excited and eager about the challenges and experiences that await you in the upcoming year. Living in on-campus housing will be a new experience and assuredly have its up’s and down’s, but that is all part of the experience. Please know that there is always someone here to assist when you have questions, or need help. Your Community Assistant is the person who will be most accessible to you since they live right on the floor with you. However, please keep in mind they are students too, and in many cases are actively involved in campus activities just like we hope you will be. While they may not be available in their room when you need them, someone is, like your Graduate Assistant who also lives in the building and is actively involved in the residence hall community. The Front Desk of your building is always staffed and in many cases the DA on Duty can either answer your questions or find someone who can. Don’t be afraid to ask! The only silly question is the one not asked. As part of this new community we need your help in assuring that it remains a safe and secure living environment – you, as a resident of that community play a HUGE role in assuring that. You can assist by: • Swiping into your building EVERY time you enter. This assures us that you belong here and are not just wondering in off the street. Don’t tailgate in after someone else. • Sign in your guests at the Front Welcome Desk. You are welcome to have guests in your room (make sure your roommate is okay with it first, though). The DA’s will ask you to sign in your guest. This helps us in assuring that anyone who does not “swipe in” is a guest of someone in the building. • Please don’t be offended if the DA asks you to swipe or sign in. It is their job to help you in assuring your hall remains safe and secure, but again, they are only here to assist. The real duty belongs to you and all your fellow building residents in assuring everyone is safe. • Shut and lock your room door when you are not there. Remember how Mom and Dad locked the house up every night before going to bed? Well, they are not here now, so it is up to you to make sure this happens. Of course when you are in your room, we encourage you to leave the door open – you will meet so many people that way. Our halls are very friendly, but no one can stop by and say hi if you are locked in your room all the time with the door closed! • Get involved in hall activities, House Council, ARHS, relax and shoot a game of pool in the Rec Room, hang out in the lobby and meet some new folks, grab a couple floor mates and go have some pizza or wings at Rocky’s or Quaker Steak, go work out at the ARC, attend an athletic event and cheer on The ROCK! There is so much to do; you just need to put yourself out there! Of course, don’t get so involved or comfortable that you forget to go to class. Remember, that is why you are really here! Take it all in… Spread your wings… Be open to new ideas, and people with differing life experiences, and I assure you this will be one of the best years of your life. Together, We Are THE ROCK!
The University Program Board The University Program Board (UPB) is a great way to get involved in campus life at SRU! UPB is one of the largest student organizations on campus and we are responsible for programming large scale events/trips on campus. UPB has a 5 different committees that students can get involved with including – Concerts, Speakers, University Events, Community Service and Media Relations. Committee meeting times will be posted in the UPB Office (located in 234 Student Center), the Rocket and also on our Facebook and Twitter (@ SRUPB) accounts. UPB Committees meet once a week for 1 hour in the Student Center. If you are interested in helping to plan events on campus, please consider joining UPB! Any questions, please contact the UPB President, Anita Stadler at ams2148@sru.edu Julie Varnish Assistant Director, Center for Student Involvement and Leadership (CSIL)
CSIL Vision SRU students will affect positive change on our campus and in their communities. CSIL Mission In support of the university mission, the Center for Student Involvement and Leadership coordinates co-curricular opportunities through Involvement, Leadership, and Service programs. We want you to enjoy your time at SRU! You can join a club, participate in the First Year Leader Scholar Program (FLSP), attend community service programs, join intramurals, participate in house councils, and much more. Active students leaders are part of a long legacy of involvement at SRU. We hope you will choose to get involved on campus, and into your years as an active SRU alumnus. Why should I get involved? Well, students that involve themselves in activities during their SRU tenure are more than twice as likely to develop skills that employers are looking for in their new hires. These skills include critical thinking; ability to verbally communicate with persons inside and outside the organization; ability to work in a team structure; ability to plan, organize, and prioritize work; ability to obtain and process information; ability to lead/influence others, etc (Source: Job Outlook 2013, National Association of Colleges and Employers). All these skills are developed and refined through a student’s academic and co-curricular experience. Leading a club, coordinating a service project, or participating in leadership development workshops all lead to the development of a well rounded individual. The CSIL programs are intentionally created to complement the student’s academic experience while focusing on experiences that will help the students utilize their academic work in a real life context. Getting involved and taking on a role of leadership allows you, the student, an ability to self reflect. You will better understand your values, and appreciate how one individual can become an agent of change. As Dr. Norton has stated, “we want to graduate students who not only understand values-directed leadership skills, but students who are prepared to take leadership roles in our community and support the continued development of a society that promotes democratic ideals, respects diversity and are advocates for social justice.” Our experience has shown, the students that participate in a mixture of campus offerings are the very students that we see giving back to our campus and community. Students who are involved demonstrate a passion for their desired activities, and a love for SRU. When an individual takes ownership of a part of this university through any type of involvement, that person cannot help but feel more connected to the community. Our goal in the CSIL is to ensure every student has the opportunity to get involved in a way that helps to make this community feel like home. As an institution, we are only as successful as our students, so we do everything we can to ensure a SRU student has a launching pad for success. I am proud 2001 (BA Spanish), and 2003 (MA College Student Personnel) SRU alumnus. During my students years at SRU I was active in FLSP, House Councils, Spanish Club, Intramurals, ARHS, SGA, UPB (serving as their advisor during my grad school years), and many more clubs. My junior year of college I was lucky enough to be elected to serve as the VP for the Student Government Association. At that time I was mentored by two amazing Student Affairs professionals. Dr. Robert Watson and Mrs. Cheryl Knoch. These two individuals displayed such a passion for each individual student and the university community I could not help but get hooked. I remember the very conversation I had with Cheryl Knoch, when I first found out the concept of Student Affairs was a career. It blew my mind, and without hesitation, I knew at that moment this was the career I had been looking for…I started my first professional job at a small private college in eastern pa (Franklin & Marshall College), and made my way up to the position of Assistant Dean of Students. Four years later, when I saw the job posting at SRU I knew I had to apply. I wanted return, and give back to the very institution that helped me find my passion. If I’m able to help a student, I will consider my day a success. I am hopeful that many of you find your way to the Center for Student Involvement & Leadership so we can work together.
