SU weapon policy raises concerns theslateonline.com/section/news

Students voice their opinions about weapons being allowed on campus Adrian Sipes

Staff Writer

Shippensburg University has caused quite a stir recently with the adoption of its new weapon policy. Over the past year, seven schools have decided to allow the possession of firearms on campus — SU being one of them. The policy itself, which is not set in stone, allows students to carry firearms outside of school facilities as long as they can obtain a permit to carry a concealed weapon. The areas that are off limits, also known as “sensitive areas,” are defined in the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) Board of Governors draft policy on

prohibiting deadly or offensive weapons below: “All PASSHE buildings or any sporting, entertainment, recreational or educational event at PASSHE facilities or property or sponsored by a university [are off limits]. In addition to traditional classroom events, educational events include commencements, assemblies, outdoor class meetings, field trips, camps and other similar activities. Also, other areas as prohibited by law including daycare centers and elementary and/or secondary schools and grounds. PASSHE buildings include: university academic, athletic, administrative, healthcare or student residence buildings; dining facilities and student union or recreation centers.” Yet, while the state may

A 15-member task force will be presenting its findings to PASSHE to address safety issues on campuses. feel this is for the good of the faculty and students, many feel this just adds fuel to the fire. University presidents are beginning to show their concern, according to Penn Live. Penn Live

also noted that last spring, the presidents of the 14 state universities contacted the PASSHE board to create a system-wide policy banning the permission of weapons on campus and at university events — in exception to the campus police and ROTC program. The policy also listed the presidents’ concerns. One is that there is a state law banning firearms in schools with K-12 students so universities should have this ban as well due to the fact that there are minors on campus every day, according to Penn Live. Another was the idea that weapons could pose a threat to students who engage in highrisk activities. Interim President Jody Harpster and SU Chief of Police Cytha Grissom were not available to comment

on the situation, but the students were. It seems to be a joint agreement for most students on campus when regarding the new weapons policy. While students understand what the state is trying to do, many students still feel this is bringing unwanted attention to the big white elephant in the room — another school or university shooting. Nathan Nemoyer, a senior at SU, finds it contradictive and is confused as to what happens to the weapons when the students enter campus facilities. Roland Johnson III, a junior, has strong feelings against the policy. “That’s the dumbest thing ever honestly,” Johnson continued, “we have people coming from all over

the world and everyone is going out drinking. People already don’t know how to handle their liquor and now you’re giving them the responsibility for weapons. That’s not good news.” Johnson also went on to say he believes this policy is not a good deterrent to prevent future shootings, saying, “You know something is going to happen, it’s just a matter of time.” Nick Galbo, a sophomore, has yet to warm up to it as well. “Guns should be off campus,” Galbo continued. “It’s sketchy.” While state lawyers and university presidents continue to try and hash this problem out, students have already spoken.

Campus housing progresses ahead of schedule Codie Eash

Staff Writer It has been the better part of a year since the completion of the Phase I housing project, an endeavor that took significant overtime to complete; Phase II, on the other hand, is right on schedule. The Phase II housing project, which includes sites four, five and six— Lackhove, Kieffer and McCune, respectively—is now nearing the end of its eighth month. Project manager Bruce Herring said, “The project overall is moving along very well,” and at, “a more sane pace,” than the first. According to Herring, the three sites now under construction were, until recently, two to three weeks

ahead of schedule, but the framing of site six by a new subcontractor has moved along slower than expected. To keep the project on schedule, Fortune Johnson General Contractors of Georgia has called on extra crews to speed up the framing process, allowing floors and walls to be installed at a rapid pace. While the crews work on site, the modular panels for the interior of the residence halls have been prefabricated at American Pride Builders in Selinsgrove, Pa. These models, which are built on tables in a factory, offer, “a lot higher quality than constructing in the weather,” Herring said. According to Herring, other than structural grouting taking longer than expected to pump into the ground, the construc-

While Phase II has been fitted.

Though it will all depend on proper maintenance, Herring said the life expectancy of the new residence halls is a minimum of 50 years. Other projects this past summer included the repainting of the water tower at the northeast corner of campus for the first time since its 1987 construction, with the addition of the SU logo on two sides, the Martin House eaves being repainted, the Franklin Science Center reroofed and a new Lehman Library help desk. A few major paving projects took place, including the parking lot between Rowland and Stewart halls, the driveway leading to Old Main and the parking lot neighboring Robb Field. One wing in the basement of Horton Hall was renovated for athletic

coaches’ offices; the renovation included new floor, wall and ceiling finishes, and the installation of air conditioning. Currently, the interior Shippen Hall stairs are getting a makeover and the Heiges Field House sound system is being replaced. Phase III of the housing project has been put on hold, giving Mowrey Hall “a new lease on life,” Herring said. The old Seavers Apartments site was scheduled to receive a temporary fix after the demolition of the building, but a longer-term solution was implemented. After a “horrible summer for growing grass,” Herring said several sites around the new housing will be reseeded this winter and several new trees that have died will also be replaced.

Student Senate conducts business, approves funding Mary Grace Keller Asst. News Editor

Bringing down the gavel with a bang, another Student Senate meeting begins with President Luke Perry’s call to attention. Working together to keep Shippensburg University running, the senators of Student Senate make up a group of committees that handle communication, finance, campus events and public relations. This past week, Michelle Bradley and Dominic Giovanniello were elected by the students of SU to join the ranks of Student Senate. There are two senators for each class at SU in addition to a senator for non-traditional students. Every college is represented in Student Senate, as well as Multicultural Student Affairs, Resident Hall Association, Greek life and athletics. Among the numerous committees that make Student Senate go, the Budget and Finance Committee is responsible for every cent

September 24, 2013 slatenews@gmail.com

of the $4 million budget. Every other Thursday, student representatives from various organizations come to the public Student Senate meetings in Room 119 of the Ceddia Union Building (CUB), often times to request an allocation of funds or to report spending. On Sept. 19, the Student Senate amended the legislation regarding mailbox keys for campus organizations. The previous policy said that organizations received a $10 fine for mailbox keys returned late. A 2 percent reduction in the organization’s budget was issued if a key was lost or stolen. However, the new policy states that any senate-recognized campus organization will be fined $10 and receive a 2 percent budget reduction if a mailbox key is lost, stolen or returned late. On Sept. 17, a motion was approved to allow the use of conference funds totaling $8,057.36 for the Activities Program Board for their trip to National Association for Campus Activities’ regional conference in Buffalo, N.Y.

The SU women’s soccer team received an allocation of $7,770 for their trip to Costa Rica, where the team will compete on an international level. The additional funds will help offset the $61,800 needed for the trip. When the Student Senate is not voting on matters of budget and finance, the Public Relations Committee strives to control transparency and communications affairs. The senators serving in public relations oversee every event from ice cream socials to SU’s presence in the community. On Sept. 10, the Public Relations Student Society of America’s (PRSSA) request for funds was awarded in the amount of $2,000 to cover the majority of costs associated with the PRSSA national conference in Philadelphia, Pa. The Student Group and Activities Committee controls the creation of campus organizations, defines and recognizes groups as campus clubs, sports, club sports or intramural sports. As a result, this committee is involved in many facets of campus life.

Here and Now

Is partisan fighting in Congress a threat to national security?

Troy Okum

Staff Columnist As the world is continuing its attempt to defuse the situation in Syria, the United States is facing its own domestic problems. Once again there is the threat of a government shutdown if Congress cannot find a way to compromise in order to fund the federal government. However, the threat goes beyond job layoffs, salary freezes and veteran care fund cuts. Some agencies that are vital to national security will have to be shutdown. A law in place, known as the Anti-Deficiency Act prevents certain parts of the government from operating unless in emergency. While this may seem

like nothing to worry about, the temporary inactivity of our nation’s security teams creates a position where the U.S. is more vulnerable. By the time there is a breach in security, whether that means an Internet-based attack from shadowy groups such as Anonymous, or a physical terrorist attack, it is obviously too late. The damage will be done. There is a third aspect that is often overlooked by the American public, or perhaps many people do not even know it is there. Domestic militias exist across the country comprising of some 1,300 groups as reported by USA Today in March of this year. Overall, there are tens of thousands of civilians who have banded together to exercise a literally interpreted Second Amendment right to have a “well-regulated militia.” Many of these groups have been described as radical, racist, extremely conservative and largely exist as result of the continuing war on terrorism as well as the election of the Obama administration. It is within the scope of imagination that one of

these groups may decide it is time to make an organized strike against the government. Any nation as large as the U.S., with its nose in as many issues around the world as it can find, cannot afford to suffer from what is nothing more than partisanship. With one House Republican and the Democrat-controlled Senate, an agreement on the budget can come down to the last days before the deadline. President Barack Obama shared his thoughts this past weekend and put the blame on Republicans who want to deny funding to Obamacare and thus are stalling the whole process and “put our entire economy at risk.” But the world does not wait for Congress; quite the opposite. As bureaucracy and politics persistently rage on up at Capitol Hill the world shall continue with its own numerous agendas, and in many cases it is only waiting for a disorganized America to fulfill their own ambitions against the government and country.

The officer went to retrieve a portable breath tester and then returned to the female’s room. When the officer got back, the female had gone back inside, locked the door and would not respond. Eventually the female did answer the door and she was found to be highly intoxicated. The female in question was identified as Ashley Ann Wilt, 18, of Naugle Hall. Wilt showed obvious signs of intoxication and was given a portable breath test which showed positive results for the presence of alcohol in her system. Due to Wilt’s condition and high blood alcohol content, an ambulance was dispatched to the scene and she was transported to the Chambersburg Hospital for further evaluation and treatment. Wilt was charged with underage drinking.

All ages take part in annual Constitution Day celebrations Benjamin Anwyll Staff Writer

On Tuesday, Sept. 17, Shippensburg University recognized Constitution Day with a speech by Helen J. Knowles, a visiting professor from Skidmore College. In her speech, Knowles gave insight into Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy’s role as a tiebreaker on many Supreme Court decisions. For instance, in the U.S. v. Windsor case regarding same-sex marriage, Kennedy’s interpretation of the Constitution brought him to the conclusion that key parts of the Defense of Marriage Act were unconstitutional. Kennedy is predicted to cast similar tie breaking votes this year on cases involving same-sex marriage, abortion, and campaign financing. “Dr. Knowles is a distinguished, nationally known expert on U.S. Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy. Her book on Justice Kennedy, “The Tie Goes To Freedom,” is considered to be the leading book about him in the field of Public Law,” said Dr. Steven Lichtman, SU professor of political science, who hosted the event. Knowles’ speech touched on Kennedy’s legal thought

iOS 7 is Apple’s best work yet Ana Guenther Opinion Editor

A major topic in the tech talk world right now is iOS 7. Apple’s newest gadget update was released Wednesday, Sept. 18 and has been a hot topic of conversation; something that is not surprising considering the build up of anticipation for it. After I updated my iPhone 5 it was easy to see that the technology wizards at Apple had really upped their game. This update really made me wonder what exactly this would mean for my phone and I began to question what iOS really was. According to Apple’s website, iOS is simply the software that controls all the basics of your Apple products. These basics determine the look, feel, settings and formatting for your device. The iOS 7 update has completely changed the format of my phone, while still maintaining all the easy accessibility that I love from Apple gadgets. IOS debuted six years ago, and this newest update will give your iPhone or iPad a much needed facelift. To start, I love the streamline and abstract look that this new update gives. The colors appear transparent, the movement of the phone flows as you change from screen to screen or app to app. There are also a few changes that have really made my iPhone seem like a completely new device. To start, the time saving

control center is the most convenient aspect of this update for me. You can control your music, access airplane mode, turn on your flashlight, bring up your calculator, use your camera and turn on Bluetooth. Before I always found it annoying to have to open all of these options separately, and they were located in different folders within the phone.

After I updated my iPhone 5 it was easy to see that the technology wizards at Apple had really upped their game.

Apple completely understood that these features were the most used on the phone, and putting them all together just makes this phone even more user-friendly than it previously was. The new design of the camera has also been significantly changed. The square-frame option now featured has all of the Instagram-crazed girls like me in the world jumping for joy. No more taking a great picture only to find that not everyone fits in the screen, or having to crop a significant part out.The square feature is designed to fit the screen for Instagram pictures, and the various filters that are offered pretty much do the on-the-fly photo editing for you. Facetime has also received its very own app. Rather than having to access your phone button

first, Facetime is a click away. The double click brings all of your apps up in a row. With the quick flick of your finger the apps can be closed. This new update makes me really love Apple products more than I already did. Since receiving my first iPhone three years ago, I do not think I would be able to switch to any other kind of phone. There is something about Apple that is addicting. They are the future of technology, hands down. They make their products appear futuristic, and tasteful and people buy into this. My 10-year-old sister has an iPod touch and she is able to operate it just fine. There have been some instances where she has taught me something about Apple products. Young children are learning how to use technology at such a young age, and from observing my sister and her friends, they are learning on Apple products. I think one of the reasons they are able to operate these gadgets so easily is because of how user-friendly Apple products are. They really keep everyone in mind when manufacturing new products or new updates like iOS 7. People of all ages can learn to use these gadgets, and with the new update, manuevering around this phone is easier now. People say that Apple products are overrated, but I could not disagree more. Keep up the good work Apple, and thanks for the update.It feels like I have a brand new phone.

Android: What it lacks Cassandra Clarhaut Asst. Opinion Editor

With the recent release of Apple’s two new devices, iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c, smart phone users may contemplate an upgrade or a switch. Many factors influence a consumer’s decision, such as price, style, operating system, and carrier availability. Personally, I have an iPhone 4 (though I’m looking to upgrade within the iPhone family,) because it is user-friendly. If you can work one type of Apple product, you can easily switch to another. Since the first smartphone I have ever owned is my iPhone 4, I am constantly curious as to why a person would choose anything else. When I meet someone with an Android device, I ask them what prompted their choice. The most common answer I hear is, “everyone has an iPhone.” The trend of my very unofficial study shows that Android users believe all iPhone users are conformists. To counter that argument and provide Apple the vindication it has earned, I looked at an official study—

J.D. Power and Associates 2013 Wireless Consumer Smartphone Ratings. Apple’s device was rated the highest in overall satisfaction, performance, physical design, smartphone features, and ease of operation, scoring “among the best,” 5/5, in all categories.

Android users that have yet to own an iPhone cannot simply deny Apple a try because of conformity. It makes sense that Android owners would still cling to their devices, even after this March study. Until just this week, Apple product’s physical design was standard, only varying in color — black or white. Apple’s product is also expensive, selling at $799.99 without a wireless contract. Now, with the introduction of the iPhone 5c, there is no excuse; the “c” could stand for choice or cost or color It is offered in green, blue, yellow, pink and white, and is priced at $599.99 without a contract. It is clear that many peo-

ple have iPhones. Though Android users outweigh iPhone users by 12 percent, it is important to note that Android is Google’s operating system. Android is comparable to iOS, not the iPhone itself, and the device that uses Android varies. Therefore, iPhone is most likely the most popular smartphone device, because various Android devices combine to make only 12 percent more smartphone users. Also, iPhone has a retention rate of 91 percent, where as Android’s retention rate is 76 percent. I had a hunch that those Android users are making the shift to Apple. After looking into the trend, I found a Yankee Group Study that said "18 percent of Android owners intend to switch to Apple with their next smartphone." I argue that Apple is a superior product, not a trend. Android users who have yet to own an iPhone cannot simply deny Apple a try because of conformity. There is a reason Apple users seemingly outnumber any other smartphone user, and the trend is predicted to continue. The iPhone is the superior device in every way shape and form. Apple is the future.

In fact it comes standard, we Android users do not need an update. Androids have also been customizable since the beginning. IPad and iPhone users are limited in giving their phone its own identity. Iphones are not unique, they are just clones of each other. If you look out on campus here

at Shippensburg, you can see a sea of iPhones as your walk through the quad. Android users have been able to give their messages different colors, change backgrounds, enjoy different ringtones; why be in a room when a phone goes off and everyone has to check? How about we talk about cost. The cost of your iPhone, or as I like to call if, your “clone” is consistently, significantly more expensive than Android. Even the new Samsung Gravity 4 is cheaper than the newest

Iphone 5s and “The 4” has more capability. Cost of apps is also important. For Apple – most of the apps cost money, something you can see when shopping for new apps. Money hungry Apple requires and encourages its users to purchase apps comparable to the Android apps. Android users have also had a cloud-connected experience long before Apple advertised “The Cloud.” Android has also always provided a superior cloud experience way before Apple introduced

their cloud bases services. Syncing photos, apps, games, email, and contacts, is not a feature introduced by Apple. Clearly the answer to the argument is obvious — Android is the answer. People are always on the Apple bandwagon, but I think they need to realize there is more than one option for phones out there. Androids are just as user-friendly as iPhones, and are just as easy to learn how to use. You had to learn to use your iPhone, an Android is no different.

Shippensburg’s iPhone/Android debate thslateonline.com/section/opinion

Nicholas Finio Staff Writer

The war between the smartphones has been an ongoing battle between processors, compatibility, popularity and capability. With giants like Apple and Android dominating the market, users are often looking for their next fix in innovation and uniqueness. In a recent study conducted by the IDC (International Data Corporation), 7,446 Android and iPhone users aged 18-44 were studied through cellphone usage on a regular basis. Out of all these cellphone users, 79 percent have been estimated to have their smartphones with them 22 hours of the day. These are staggering numbers considering that most of the population owns a smartphone now and smartphone users are constantly increasing. The real ques-

tion that poses itself in a situation like this is – which phone is more prevalent, iPhone or Android? I decided to ask Shippensburg University students just that. Many instantly said the iPhone because of the simplistic design and easy-to-use system that attracts new users to an ever-complicating world of applications. The sleek design and quality of the phone is what attracted many of the students to this dominant platform. “Everyone has an iPhone these days,” Bailey Wildasin, an undeclared freshman at Shippensburg said, “So the choice was obvious. Plus, it is pretty easy to get used to.” Although the significant amount of iPhone supporters was clear, Android was the popular pick. Among the 20 students I interviewed, 12 voted Android while only eight sided with iPhone. Joe Asare, a junior political science major, offered his take on

the competition, “IPhone is beauty while Android is bronze. You just don’t see the kind of personalization Andriod offers on iPhones, that is why I chose it.” Many of the people I interviewed that decided on Android

love the customization that comes along with the phone. They are ecstatic about their choice in Android simply because the phone can be a good representation of the owner therefore making it more personable and

likable. Personally, I own an iPhone and have never dipped into anything else. Before this article I was skeptical about HTC phones and Windows phones on the market, but my perspective has taken a bit of a turn. I am more open to the possibility of owning a completely different phone, not because the processor is faster or the layout is better, but change is crucial to having new experiences. It does not limit me to sticking with the same phone I have had since my senior year of high school. People should take into consideration what else is out there and not simply go with the phone that suits the majority. This way, we can decide for ourselves what truly makes one phone better than another, rather than simply judging them based on a single experience.

“On the iPhone/ Android debate, Android trumps the former in several capacities.”

“I really love Apple products and the Android phone would not even be a choice for me.”

“I think the iPhone has good and bad qualities. It’s pretty distracting when I’m trying to study.

get at me.” "There are some lyrics that involve rough sex, but last time I checked, there are plenty of women who certainly do not complain about that. ‘Go ahead get at me’ clearly means he’s allowing her to make a move, giving her the power. Thicke, who is the type of man who puts giant red letters across his video that say #THICKE, obviously has an ego and wants to make a pretty penny. He wants #attention, he likes #boobs, and he achieved that through taboos such as #nudity and #beastiality. The logical conclusion I have reached is this: Sure, Thicke acts revoltingly cocky and provided us with an over-sexualized song, but he is not a rapist. There is nothing in his song that references forced sex. I am a feminist. I believe in gender equality. I put my opinion out here because I want to give more credit to feminists. We ought to focus on things that truly are significant.

How blurred are Robin Thicke’s lines? Robyn Woodley

Multimedia Editor

The catchy song “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke has received a lot of attention lately. Feminists are riled up saying his lyrics are arrogant, objectify women and even reference rape. On the other hand, people are arguing that Thicke’s intentions were simply to show the sexual relationship between men and women as many pop songs do. In the video, half-naked models prance around, stare vacantly into the camera and act like sex dolls while straddling goats and dogs. As Thicke, T.I. and Pharrell are whispering to them “I know you want it,” and “I’ll give you something big enough to tear your ass in two” it is no wonder this could seem “rapey” to some. However, I think it is unfair to take bits and pieces of the song to argue for either side. I looked at the song as a whole and found it

to be silly as well as a way to feed Thicke’s ego about his apparently large penis, which was clearly stated in the video via giant balloons. Here is a large portion of the most easily misconstrued lyrics and what I got out of them: “OK now he was close, tried to domesticate you/But you are an animal, baby, it is in your nature/Just let me liberate you/You do not need no papers/That man is not your maker.” Thicke is saying he believes that the girl’s ex tried to domesticate, or control her. Liberation, to Thicke, apparently means allowing her to have all the raving, kinky sex she wants. “And that's why I'm gon' take a good girl/I know you want it.” “I know you want it” is probably the creepiest sounding line, especially the way he says it while petting the models’ heads in the video. This has been used as a victim-blaming phrase that rapists often say to their victims in order to justify their actions. Or, hey,

Study Abroad Fair informs Award-winning poet performs for SU students students of study options Jessica Richardson Staff Writer

Marcella Jessup Staff Writer

The award-winning slam poet and author, José Canta, spoke of success, money and his journey of addiction Sept. 18 in the Red Zone. Canta, also called the college poet, stood in front of one microphone, one stand and an intimate audience. He performed a few poems: “Bungee Jumping,” “Letter from Jesus Christ to You,”“Yankee Fitted,” “Hooks” and “Familiar Darkness.” Canta took the audience into his journey of addiction, depression and heart-break. His poems conveyed intense experiences that he had grown from and shared in his spoken word.

“Suffering is a beautiful thing. Anything worth getting to is difficult. The journey is so beautiful.” Canta spoke of growing up trying to please his mother. When all the success came to him, the money, career and stability, it left him empty inside. His poem “Yankee Fitted” focused on Latino youth and explained to the audience who their real heroes are. He also performed a piece called “Familiar Darkness.” He talked about the love of his Latino mother and how her strength and willingness made him into the man he is today. He spoke of her selflessness and doing all that she could for him. He recalled her setting her dreams aside for him

and never complaining. Canta’s poems came from a true and painful place, but it spoke loudly to his audience. Canta practices what he speaks in his poems. He is a firm believer in the Buddhist faith and is now at a place in his life where meditating gives him balance and focus. When answering questions from the audienc, Canta explained why he decided to become Buddhist, how he started writing poetry and how he took off with it. He told the crowd the best advice for someone who wants to get the word out to people was to go out in the streets and let people know about whatever it is you are doing. The Activities Board Program (APB) sponsored the event.

Many students entered the Ceddia Union Building with thoughts of walking on different streets, tasting foreign foods and experiencing a new university as they attended the Study Abroad Fair on Thursday, Sept. 19. At the fair, students were able to talk to representatives and other students about the many aspects of studying abroad. Representatives of multi-country study abroad programs and those advocating for individual universities or countries gave information about factors such as cost, financial aid, scholarship opportunities and eligibility requirements. Some also discussed the many options of studying abroad such as the length of time, whether short term or long term, as well as the multiple universities within certain locations. The setup allowed students to walk around the room and visit different tables that provided information through pamphlets, flyers and discussions. Many were advocating for a certain program, but all encouraged students to par-

ticipate in some form. “We have a unique program. I encourage every student to study abroad. I think it is a great experience,” said William Minsker, a Shippensburg alumnus and representative of Wroclaw University of Economics. While experiencing what the fair had to offer, most of those present had similar reasons for attending. Many want a new experience, have a love for traveling or want to experience travel. Juniors Megan Stewart and Megan Morrow are both considering studying abroad for the same reason. “I love to travel and experience new things like a new culture,” Stewart said. Students were also able to talk personally with other students who have already studied abroad. Many talked passionately about their experience but also gave helpful information to students about how to get started on their plan for studying abroad. Advice ranged from how to make a plan to save money, when the best time to go is and why students should be interested. Senior Maggie Gundermann encouraged others to study abroad, having had

first-hand experience by attending Aarhus University in Denmark. “It makes you independent and less reserved about what you normally would be. When you come back it changes everything. It makes you really appreciate what you have,” Gundermann said. In combination with the experience, studying abroad allows students to have an opportunity to learn about another country first-hand while obtaining transferable credit for college. The credits earned can range from one to six on a short-term experience but can also range even higher if studying abroad long term. The experience was described as educational, rewarding, life changing and unique. Many were encouraged to start planning their study abroad trip soon to understand the cost and requirements in order to start the experience. If you are interested in studying abroad but were unable to attend the fair, visit the www.ship.edu/ international or the Center for Global Education at the Ceddia Union Building, Room 221.

Shuttle service offered to Professor Spotlight: SU students for safety June Yung Kim Hannah Wolfe Staff Writer

Walking alone at night can be risky, but it is never your only option. Jen Milburn, assistant director for residence life, said thanks to a fellowship between the Residence Hall Association (RHA), student senate and the dean of students, a shuttle is available for use on campus. The RHA bus is a free service for all students. “It is for their convenience and for their safety. If you don’t want to walk across campus because it’s cold or rainy or you don’t feel safe, that’s what it’s there for” Milburn said. The RHA bus is available

theslateonline.come/section/shiplife

seven days a week from 7 p.m. until 1 a.m. When the RHA bus is no longer in operation, campus police urge students to phone them for a ride, said Roger Serr, vice president of student affairs, in a recent email to the SU community. “We will transport anywhere on campus. If personnel are available and it’s not too far off campus, we will be willing to do that as well,” Police Chief Cytha Grissom said. She added that while the campus is not unsafe, students should still do what they can to ensure their safety. “It’s always best to take precaution because bad things do happen occasionally,” Grissom said.

Milburn had a similar view. “The campus is generally safe — but it’s always safer to not walk alone at night,” she said. Students can also ensure their safety by walking in groups, staying in well-lit areas and staying aware of their surroundings according to Grissom. If they see anything suspicious, students are urged to call the police. “If something happens, don’t wait. Call the police immediately,” Grissom said. If you are walking on campus alone at night, call the RHA bus at (717)-377-5985 for a ride. After 1 a.m., the campus police are available at (717)-477-1444.

June Yung Kim is a new public relations professor in the communication/journalism department at SU. As a former public relations professor at the University of Florida, Kim hopes to reach out to her students in the classroom and have a great first year at SU. Q: Why did you choose to teach at Shippensburg University? A: “I found a lot of potential in the curriculum here, and they offer a lot of public relations classes. I feel like I can contribute a lot to the journalism program.” Q: What do you enjoy the most about teaching here? A: “College students use social media the most often and the students here seem especially interested in the classroom. I really enjoy having relationships with these students who are more adapted to the social media.” Q: How is teaching here different than teaching in Florida? A: “I can see more diversity in the students, especially among the freshman classes

as far as what type of media they are interested in. But in the University of Florida, students are actually required to choose their major when they start school so I didn’t get a chance to see other students outside of my public relations classes. Students are also kind of reserved here; the students in Florida seemed to volunteer more and express their opinion. I know these students will need time to feel comfortable with me in class so I think building relationships with them is very important.” Q: Are you adapting well to the colder weather? A: “I didn’t expect the colder weather to come so early in September, it’s still very hot in Florida. Even though it’s warm throughout the day, my feet get really cold in the morning and I’m just surprised that winter came so early. But I think I’ll be fine, I just need to get more winter clothing.” Q: As a journalism professor, how do you hope to encourage student’s interest in the media? A: “I always encourage students to have more of a critical perspective in modern journalism and receive all aspects of the media.

I want them to think of the media in a more broad sense in the classroom and not lose that perspective.” Q: What type of media do you prefer to get your news from? A: “Definitely online media; I watch the news on television but with my schedule it’s hard to do sometimes. So I usually prefer reading the newspaper or going to the CNN newspage, or definitely the social media, too. Even though the issues in the social media and networking may not be as diverse or serious, it shows my friends’ opinions and their interests among the various news.” Q: What words of encouragement would you like to give any communications/ journalism major? A: “Be critical. That is my advice for anyone studying journalism. In public relations, it’s important to be involved with the public and the organization and listen to what they have to say. You have to have a very involved relationship with them and make more ethical and responsible decision. So be very critical in any field of journalism.”

Raider Runway: Be bold with your wardrobe Julie Klinger Staff Writer

This year, it is all about being bold. Gather pieces that make you stand out. Boots, vests, form fitting basic dresses, tailored jeans and eccentric shirts are sure to get you recognized. Trust your instincts. Dress for success, to secure your strength and to embrace your femininity or masculinity. A quick makeup tip; create either a neutral face or a bold brow and eye combination, depending on the color scheme of your outfit. Leaving your face bare is a bold move in itself. Embrace it. If you really want to make an impression, creating a bold brow or decorative eye will make your eyes pop and give you an instant mood lift.

1. Clean Fabrics and Cuts You could have the cutest shirt from Forever 21, but a hole in the back of it will forever go down as a fashion faux pas and will have everyone talking for all the wrong reasons. Make sure you pick a size that is flattering, rather than focusing on the number, so fabric will not stress and tear. It is always a bad idea, and always leaves you feeling embarrassed. Be smart, and check the size chart. Remember the saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Just because it zips, does not mean it fits.â&#x20AC;? 2. It is all about attitude. Stick to your own style, no matter what it may be. If you feel confident, it will show, enhancing the fierceness of your outfit. Mix and match items. You could end up with an amaz-

ing masterpiece. Just test things out first and do not get dressed in the dark. Step outside boundaries you have created for yourself and, although important, use trends only as guidelines. Fashion is about expressing yourself. Being stylish does not just have to do with what is hanging in your closet. Remaining classy is the best way to stay fashionable. Be kind to others, and appreciate what they bring to the table. If you see someone with an eye-popping ensemble, compliment them. You will never become fashionable if you are unable to open your mind and use your knowledge to identify some chic pieces.

D1 A&E ‘American Idol’ winner stops at Luhrs Center September 24, 2012 slateae@gmail.com

JOZALYN GREGOR Staff Writer

Country music superstar Scotty McCreery graced H. Ric Luhrs Performing Arts Center with his soulful and deep voice Friday, Sept. 20, as part of his “Weekend Roadtrip” tour. Angie Johnson, Season 2 contestant on NBC’s “The Voice,” opened the show for McCreery. Her powerful vocals impressed the entire crowd and although she sang several songs off her EP, it was her rendition of Adele’s, “Rolling in the Deep,” that had the audience singing along and praising the former Air Force staff sergeant. The sold-out show had audience members on the edge of their seats and even on

their feet the entire time. Starting the show with, “Rock this Night,” the American Idol Season 10 winner quickly set a fun, energetic tone for the night. McCreery, 19, from Garner, N.C.s had the audience hanging on his every low note all night. From babies to senior citizens and everything inbetween, the audience cheered loud and sang along with McCreery all night. During the popular song “Write My Number on Your Hand,” audience members participated in a popular McCreery show ritual. Prior to the end of the song, McCreery stopped singing, allowing audience members to enjoy his band playing, during which girls from every age group, rushed the stage to have Scotty write his num-

ber on their hands. A new tradition during the song, for many it was a highlight of the evening. During the hour and a half set, McCreery performed songs from his debut album “Clear as Day,” released in 2011 and his sophomore album “See You Tonight,” to be released Oct. 15. Along with his own songs, many written by the young artist, McCreery also performed a number of covers including “Do You Love Me,” by George Strait, a beautiful rendition of “The Dance,” by Garth Brooks, and “Celebrity,” by Scotty’s previous tour mate, Brad Paisley, who made a hilarious appearance via video prior to the song. The University of North Carolina undergraduate took time from singing to talk about his appreciation to be

in Shippensburg. Being from a small town in N.C., McCreery told the crowd about his appreciation of “grass roots.” Proudly standing on stage, McCreery said he is proud to “wave the good ﬂag of country music,” causing the crowd to erupt into a roar of cheers and applause. The show ended with a standing ovation. While McCreery may have gotten his start on “American Idol”, anyone given the opportunity to watch him live would easily argue that he is much more than a singing competition winner. With a voice and charisma well beyond his 19 years, McCreery put on a show that made Shippensburg proud to say they were a pit stop on his “Weekend Roadtrip.”

Uprise Festival brings the crowds to Shippensburg LAURA KREISER Staff Writer

Music genres ranging from metal to gospel sang, danced and played on stage at the Uprise Festival this year. Bands in the lineup included Skillet, Family Force 5, Newsboys and many more. Although Uprise is a music festival, there were not just bands featured. Jep and Jessica Roberts, from the hit television series, “Duck Dynasty” made a speaking appearance. The weekend started out on Friday at the Shippensburg Fairgrounds at 5:30 p.m. with people hauling in their campers, tents, chairs and blankets to get spots for the show. Acts such as Brady Steinour, We Are Leo, and We As Human, got everyone

in the mood to listen to the loud, positive music. As the sun started to set, the night turned toward the headlining act. And while set up delayed their start, Skillet did not disappoint. The massive screen lit up the back of the stage, sparks and smoke ﬂew up throughout the performance, the crowd singing along to some of the bands top singles: “Monster,” “Hero” and “Comatose.” The night was then topped off with a few ﬁreworks and promises that the next day would be just as spectacular. Overcast, with the threat of rain, an even bigger crowd trekked into the festival on Saturday, carrying everything from ponchos and chairs to huge waterproof tents and tarps to cover anything that

could possibly get wet. A little less than half the bands got in their acts before all the rain gear had to come into use. While the acts played through the rain, many people milled about, checking out the vendors for each band, food stands for all hunger needs and the kids tent and activities so that the young ones were not bored. But even with all this, many people were braving the weather for one act, Jep and Jessica Roberts. Even through the rain, a large crowd gathered around the stage to hear what the couple had to say. They explained where their faith in Christ came from, how they ended up together, and how Duck Dynasty truly started out, which was in a

barn in Jep’s father, Phil’s, backyard. Soon after the couple walked off stage, many of the festival attendees decided to pack up and head out, because the rain did not look like it would clear up anytime soon. But several stayed and listened to the speaker Reggie Dabbs and sat through the last two performances, Family Force 5 and Newsboys. Family Force 5 pumped the crowd up, dancing and jumping all across the stage, singing out several hits such as “Chainsaw” and “Wobble.” While Newsboys finished off the night, and the sky finally cleared, they performed hits such as “Born Again” and “That’s How You Change the World.” They ended the night with a bang of fireworks.

Staff Columnist This incredibly talented, well-loved, and down to earth electro and progressive house DJ is a Vermont native who started out running a weekly show at WRUV 90.1 FM in Burlington. He also worked as a DJ at WERS 88.9 FM while attending Emerson College in Boston. He also attended school at the University of Vermont, where he performed as a DJ on the campus radio and in 1993, interned at German record label Plastic City. He’s come a long way from a local radio station, and without a doubt he deserves all the massive success he is accumulated. This DJ, is none other than Morgan Page. Page’s first album, “Drifting into View” was released by Nordic Trax in 2002 when he was just 21 years old. After putting blood, sweat and tears into his work, Page was nominated for “Best Breakthrough Artist” at the International Dance Music Awards in 2008. Morgan has received four other nominations for “Best Progressive Track,” “Best Trance Track,” and “Best American DJ.” His singles “The Longest Road” and “Fight for You” featuring the vocalist Lissie, gave him noticeable fame in 2008 and 2009. His track “In the Air” was a huge progressive house hit in 2011. Page has received two Grammy nominations, one

in 2009 for “Best Remixed Recording” of DeadMau5’s remix of his song “The Longest Road,” and one in 2011 for “Best Remixed Recording” for his remix of Nadia Ali’s “Fantasy.” I had the chance to ask Page a little bit about his career. Page was so kind and humble when I asked him for a quick online interview via Twitter, replying “Sure! Fire away.” I first asked Page, “What was the biggest struggle you had to deal with before you became famous?” He said, “The biggest struggle was putting the time in (10,000 hours) and believing in myself.” Next I asked, “So you’re a famous DJ, who has millions of fans who look up to you. Who do you look up to?” He replied, “I look up to a lot of my contemporaries like Avicii, Swedish House Mafia and Tiësto.” I wanted to look inside his world for a second, so I asked him, “What do you want your fans to notice or learn from your music?” Page told me, “I want fans to notice the attention to detail in my songs, the importance of the lyrics, and the longevity of the music.” My favorite Page tracks include “The Longest Road” featuring Lissie, “Carry Me” featuring Nadia Ali, “In the Air” featuring Angela McCluskey, and “S.O.S (Message in a Bottle).” In addition to his exceptional “In the Air” Podcast, this hard to miss artist is set to go on his Morgan Page Presents tour now through December 2013.

On Sept. 23, another student exhibit went on display in the Huber Art Center. The exhibiting student is Brianna Spayd, a senior art major with a concentration in graphic design. Spayd is also the intern for the Kauffman Gallery in Huber Art Center.   Spayd’s exhibit is titled “Texturized.” Her exhibit includes digital fine art prints from her travels of the past summer. “My goal was to capture every day objects as art, not photography,” Spayd said. Her artwork focuses on texture and she attempts to incorporate the basic elements and principles of design into her images.   Spayd’s exhibit opened on Sept. 23 and will continue until Oct. 3 in the Brindle Gallery, in Room 213.

If you have not seen Sean Matthews’ exhibit, it will continue to be on display until Oct, 2. Matthews is an assistant professor of art at Messiah College.

Is the extra wild card spot in both divisions a good or bad idea?

THE HOT CORNER

September 24, 2013 slatesports@gmail.com

RYAN TREXLER Sports Editor AND

BRYAN OBAROWSKI Asst. Sports Editor

With the baseball regular season nearing completion, the division races nearly done, teams are sprinting toward the ﬁnish line and trying to earn a wild card spot. With the newly expanded wild card, two teams from the National League and two teams from the American League will be given wild card places and be involved in a one-game playoff to determine who advances into October baseball. Bryan and Ryan will discuss whether the newly expanded wild card spots add excitement to this time of year in baseball. Bryan: As a Philadelphia Phillies fan, this year has been a bust, and it is a relief that October is inching closer and closer. The end of the season will mark the end of one of the toughest seasons in recent

memory, but I do realize that for a lot of others this time of year is very exciting. If the Phillies were one of the two teams ﬁghting for the two wild card spots, my opinion would be different, but this addition of another team leaves me feeling indifferent at this time. Even though the extra spot in the wild card does not mean anything to me this year because my favorite team is not involved, the idea of the extra spot is an exciting addition. The top two teams from each division in the wild card will be playing in a onegame playoff to decide which team gets the playoff spot. I am sure the fans of the teams involved in this game will be fully enthralled in the action, but in my opinion, with a 162-game season, these types of things should already be decided. Ryan: I think the idea of two wild card sports is an excellent idea. The one-game playoff is going to be a great game regardless of who the teams are. One-game playoff games

Volleyball drops two matches in weekend crossover theslateonline.com/section/sports

The losses to West Liberty and Wheeling Jesuit are the first two defeats the Raiders experienced this year Byan Obarowski

Asst. Sports Editor The Shippensburg University Volleyball team traveled to West Virginia this past weekend to compete in the PSAC/ Mountain East Crossover. The Raiders finished the weekend 2–2.

Saturday

In the first day of action at the PSAC/ Mountain East Crossover, the SU Volleyball team split matches against West Liberty and Charleston. The loss to West Liberty was the first of the season for SU. In the four-set match against WLU, SU picked up a set win in the second set, but that was all the Raiders could do against WLU. Despite a season high hitting average of .321 and 14 kills from Jill Edwards, along with 12 kills from Gabbie Holt, SU could not pick up wins in the last two sets. Set scores against WLU were— 20–25, 25–18, 21–25 and 22–25. Things would not get any easier for SU in the second match of the day, but it was able to pick up the win in five sets against Charleston. SU hit only .187 in the match, but a strong effort from Sam Edwards, who totaled 23 kills in the match and added two blocks, helped the Raiders pick a victory in their second match of the day. Jill Edwards also added 19 kills to the offensive effort during Saturday’s second match.

The sets were back and forth with SU winning the first two. Charleston won the third and fourth. A 15–12 victory in the tie breaker set gave the Raiders the victory.

Raiders halt Crimson Hawk comeback theslateonline.com/section/sports

Senior Bre White registers a goal late in Saturday’s game, putting IUP’s chances of comeback out of reach BRYAN OBAROWSKI

Asst. Sports Editor The Shippensburg University field hockey team picked up its sixth win of the season with a victory against Indiana University of Pa. Saturday afternoon. A late goal by senior Bre White broke the tie and gave SU the 4–3 victory. The Raiders set the tone with an early goal by Megan Jett at one minute two seconds into the first half, her fourth of the season. Taylor Bender was credited with the assist, her second of the year. The Raiders continued to push the action on offense, taking six more shots in the half before Lucinda Kauffman scored on an open net in the 30th minute of action, her second of the season. The SU defense held IUP to only four shots in the first half, but would not be able to hold the Crimson Hawks the entire game. It was not until the 57th minute of play that IUP found its offense. Crimson Hawk Dani Edwards closed the scoring gap.

At 57 minutes, 36 seconds Edwards scored the Crimson Hawks’ first goal, and then Chelsea Wanamaker added another just five minutes later. With the score 3–2, SU still struggled to score in the second half. IUP tied the score in the 65th minute of the game with a goal by Jessica Kida, assisted by Haley Fidler. With time running out and the score tied, SU had to find a spark on offense to take back control of the game. The spark would come from White. White scored what proved to be the game-winning goal with about two minutes left in the match. The goal is White’s eighth of the season. The Raiders defense did not allow the Crimson Hawks to take another shot for the remainder of the match, and held on to the lead to take their sixth win of the season. The Raiders will return to action today when they travel to Mercyhurst University, and will return at home Friday at 4 p.m. against Mansfield Univer- Junior forward Lauren Taylor notched her third goal of the 2013 season during Saturday’s 4–2 victory over IUP. sity.

Raider captains, Trevor Harman (87), Zach Zulli (18), Jason Brady (77) and Jake Metz (99) all played key roles in the Raiders’ ﬁrst victory of the 2013 season.

Harman lifts Raiders past Warriors RYAN TREXLER Sports Editor

Zach Zulli to Trevor Harman was the call for Saturday’s PSAC matchup against East Stroudsburg University. The Shippensburg University football team finally found a way to win. On a rainy Saturday afternoon, SU defeated the Warriors 41–31, capturing its first victory of the 2013 season. The Raiders scored early and often, starting with a 12-yard touchdown pass from Zulli to junior wide receiver Sheldon Mayer. Unfortunately, ESU blocked the extra point. Mayer created separation from the ESU defender, lept up and hauled in a well-placed pass from Zulli, sending the Raiders up 6–0. The Warriors answered with a 25-yard field goal, but SU topped ESU with a five-yard pass from Zulli to Harman, putting the Raiders ahead 13–3. Harman finished the game with three touchdown catches and 151 receiving yards. Harman was named the PSAC

Eastern Division Player of the Week on Sunday afternoon. Zulli also produced great numbers for the Raiders. Zulli completed 20 of his 36 passing attempts, recording 273 passing yards and four passing touchdowns. ESU battled back to score two consecutive touchdowns, both within two minutes of each other, taking a commanding 17–13 lead. SU added a key touchdown just 10 seconds before halftime. Zulli found Harman again in the back of the end zone, Harman made a great catch, fully extending his arms and keeping both feet in bounds, sending SU up 2017. Zulli and Harman connected one ﬁnal time for an 81-yard touchdown pass, taking the Raiders lead to 27–17. The Warriors did add a touchdown after an eight play, 85-yard drive, cutting SU’s lead to 27-24. The biggest play of the game came when junior Shannon Maura returned a kickoff for a 96-yard touchdown, giving the Raiders a 10-point lead. Maura set an SU record

for kickoff return yards. Maura totaled 240 return yards, including his 96yard touchdown return, breaking Mike Erlandson’s record of 158 kickoff return yards during a game against Bloomsburg on Oct. 25, 1997. Both ESU and SU added touchdowns late in the fourth quarter. Raider Chris Lawshe ﬁnished the scoring with a 67-yard touchdown run, solidifying the Raiders’ victory. SU is scheduled to face Millersville University next week. Despite the Marauders’ struggling start, they are still a competitive team. Marauder quarterback Connor Casey has started the season on the right foot, averaging 152.33 passing yards and tallied two touchdown passes in his ﬁrst three games of the 2013 season. MU running back Ian Sadon is also a key player for the Marauders. Sadon averaged 62 yards and 3.9 yards per carry. SU travels to Chryst Field at Biemesderfer Stadium on the campus of Millersville for its second PSAC East match up — kickoff is set for 12 p.m.

Junior return man Shannon Maura (32) capped off a career day with a 96-yard kickoff return.

Men’s soccer blasts Point Park Two goals late in the game proved to be the turning point in the Raiders’ impressive win Joey Marinelli Staff Writer

A soaked David See Field was the site of the afternoon’s soccer game between Shippensburg University and Point Park University. The Raiders pulled out an impressive 2–0 victory behind excellent goaltending by Clay Sale. Sale tallied three saves and recorded his first shutout of the 2013 campaign. The game-winning goal came in the 60th minute by freshman Jeff Ballard. The goal was Ballard’s first in a Raider uniform. Ballard provided the as-

sist from the right side of the goal that led to an insurance goal in the 74th minute of play by junior Derrick Roy, his second goal of the season With the victory, the Raiders improved their overall record to 3-1-1. The Raiders out-shot Point Park 18 to 13, but the Pioneers led in corner kicks nine to five. The Raiders return to action on Friday when they travel to Erie to take on Mercyhurst at 4:30 p.m. The matchup will be the Raiders first PSAC matchup in the 2013 year. The match is crucial because SU is one of only two teams to not have played a PSAC

match so far this season. Mercyhurst will not be an easy challenge for the Raiders as it is currently 2–0 in PSAC conference play, defeating West Chester University and East Stroudsburg, respectively. One of the Lakers’ keys to their success is junior midfielder Fernando Martinez who has registered seven goals in just six games so far this season. The Raiders will need to keep Martinez in check if they want to walk away with a victory. A win on Friday can set the tone and show that SU can be a real contender in the PSAC division this year.

Derrick Roy (18) scored his second goal of the 2013 season Saturday afternoon.

On a rainy, overcast and cold Saturday afternoon the Shippensburg University women’s soccer team (4–2) managed to outshoot Clarion University (3–1–2) 14–6, but could not manage any goals against the Golden Eagles in a 1–0 loss. After tripling Clarion’s shots in the first half and keeping it out of the net, the game’s lone goal came at 47 minutes, 13 seconds. With her first goal of the season, Golden Eagle junior forward Liz Ventura gathered a pass from sophomore midfielder Kelly Antonucci that she blasted

into the back of the net. Raider senior forward Ashley Vellucci led the team with four shots. Senior goalkeeper Shelbie Rackley finished with two saves. Despite Saturday’s loss Rackley has been stellar in goal for the Raiders so far this season. Rackley has recorded four shutouts and has only allowed four goals for the Raiders in six games this season. SU was held to five shots in the second half, which ultimately led to its second loss of the season; both losses have come on the road. The Raiders have been in every game so far this year, losing both of their games

by slim margins. The Raiders will continue their road trip and try to get back on the winning track on Friday when they take on Mercyhurst University. Mercyhurst has struggled so far this season, posting a 3–2–1 record overall and 2–2–1 in conference play. Despite the rough start the Lakers do have the keys to be a successful team in a tough PSAC division. Sophomore Laker Lauren Testa has tallied five goals in just six games started so far this season. Laker goalkeeper Ellie McDougall has been a wall thus far for MU, recording 27 saves in six games.

Yankee legend Mariano Rivera closes door on career After serving the Yankees for 19 years, Rivera hangs up cleats Codie Eash

Staff Writer Major League Baseball will officially never have a player wear the jersey No. 42 when this regular season ends. The number has been retired for a number of years, in honor of former Dodgers’ great, Jackie Robinson. Yet, when the number was retired, one player donned it and was allowed to keep it for the remainder of his now ending career. Yankees’ closing pitcher, Mariano Rivera, announced his retirement prior to the start of this baseball season. Rivera said that the 2013 year would be his last. Now, with the days winding down in September, the race for playoff spots in the MLB postsea-

son is on, with Rivera’s Yankees in contention for a spot. Within a little more than a month’s time, Rivera’s historic career will be over and he will finish as the all-time saves leader in major league history. Along the way, Rivera won five World Series rings with the Yankees, and is widely recognized as one of the best pitchers in baseball history. This recognition has been put on stage by various teams around the league in forms of gifts to Rivera this season. These gifts, ranging from a surfboard to a chair made of bats that Rivera had broken with his memorable cut fastball, were presented to Rivera whenever the Yankees visited the team’s city for the last time this season. It has been a sign of

respect from many of the teams from around the league. Rivera even received gifts from rival teams in the Yankees’ division, such as the Red Sox, who presented him with a 1934 seat from Fenway Park, the Rays gave him a sand sculpture with his likeness, and the Orioles awarded him with a sculpture of a ball breaking a bat. Retirement tours have become more of a norm in the past 10 years or so, beginning with former Orioles’ third baseman, Cal Ripken Jr., and having occurred as recently as last year with former Braves’ third baseman, Chipper Jones. However, none of these tours have quite matched up to the level of respect that Rivera has received from around the league.

A likely first ballot Hallof-Famer, Rivera’s performance has earned him respect and first class treatment from his fans and peers alike, as he leaves the game he dominated for 19 seasons. Despite being such a high profile athlete on a stage as big as New York, Rivera has always remained humble and has often helped out in his native Panama through his foundation. In the past, Rivera has helped build an elementary school for youth who could not receive an education. Yankee fan or not you have to have respect for Rivera. Through and through, Rivera has graced Major League Baseball with his presence for the past 19 seasons, and he will be missed by many.

Rivera is world-renowned for his cut fastball, his go to pitch.
