SU students help homeless in Harrisburg Mary Grace Keller Asst. News Editor

Living on a Pennsylvania farm in the late ’90s, Sue Rudy and her husband Vern first took in a homeless person as an act of faith.

Believing that they had a mission to fulfill, the Rudys bought a second home and welcomed more homeless people. Realizing the community need, by 1999, Silence of Mary Homes was founded. Today there are five homes located in Harrisburg, Pa., and two in Fort Wayne, Ind., that serve more than 700 people.

Silence of Mary Homes is a non-profit organization that relies solely on donations and the work of volunteers. Ask Sue Rudy about her residents and she will firmly reply, “We are not a shelter, we are a family.”

Having grown up in a poor family in Baltimore, Md., Sue Rudy knows what many of her new family members are going through.

School was an especially

difficult place for Rudy, who has Tourette’s syndrome and autism. Her instinct in life has always been to think and care for others before herself.

Saturday, Sept. 28, Shippensburg University students gathered at the Cora L. Grove Spiritual Center, packed into vans loaded with supplies and left for Harrisburg to meet the exPhoto by Mary Grace Keller tended Rudy family.

After scrubbing the floors, painting walls and stocking shelves with supplies, SU students in the basic writers classes sat down with some of the “family members” and interviewed them about their lives. Drawing inspiration from stories of struggle and triumph, SU students will craft essays based on their time spent in service.

One student, Dania Harrell, was brought to tears when she interviewed a mother of three who has been working hard to provide a better life for her children.

Cella and Johnson agreed that after students complete service learning projects, they see a dramatic improvement in their writing and communication skills.

“It’s not just a change in the way you write, it’s a change in the way you think,” freshman business major, Brandon Christmas said.

Catholic Campus Minister Roxanne Dennis, brings students to Harrisburg

once a semester to rebuild, restock and restore the old homes.

Through this trip alone, a surplus of supplies was brought to Market Street to help furnish the three-floor house. Hygiene products, cleaning supplies, carpet, clothing, bedspreads, towels and a strong work ethic were just a few items among the donations.

About 15 years ago, SU was the first to reach out to Silence of Mary Homes and offer help.

Since then, more and more people have come forward to offer their assistance in maintaining the homes.

The program relies heavily on volunteerism like that displayed by SU students.

For people like Sue Rudy, who treat every moment as a gift, the generosity of others is invaluable.

“Without the college students, we couldn’t be here,” Sue Rudy said.

Student groups develop leadership skills Breeya Sutton Guest Writer

It is that time of year again. Every year the Shippensburg University Student Senate holds a training day for all student groups and student group leaders on campus.

The training is filled with a variety of skill building workshops, guest speakers and even a chance for all student leaders to meet fellow leaders from other organizations.

When group leaders entered the Multipurpose Room in the Ceddia Union Building they were asked to register, and were able to get lunch provided by the senate before the conference began.

In all, the training day seemed to be a success and the students were able to learn new values and information they will be able to carry on, not only in their student groups, but also in their everyday lives.

PLCB grant to pay for AlcoholEDU, freshmen now required to take course William Kauffman News Editor

A $40,000 grant recently awarded to Shippensburg University by the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board (PLCB) will be used to cover the costs of an online alcohol education course for all incoming first-year students.

SU was one of 20 colleges and universities, and one of eight Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) schools, to receive the grant according to Sarah McDowell, interim director of the university’s Connection alcohol and other drug program. There were 115 applications this year and 61 recipients of the grant.

According to the PLCB, grants were chosen on a competitive basis. The funds are intended to ini-

tiate programs focused on ways to reduce underage and dangerous drinking.

SU will use the funds to pay for AlcoholEDU, an online course all incoming SU students will be required to take prior to their first semester. They will receive an email approximately two months before the start of the semester with logon information and directions on how to complete AlcoholEDU. “AlcoholEDU will be offered to all incoming students each year before they arrive on campus. It will provide them with personalized education about alco-

hol, social norms, high-risk versus low-risk drinking, potential consequences associated with personal choices and campus support services available to them,” McDowell said.

“Data collected from surveys imbedded in the course will be used to develop programs specific to Shippensburg University students.”

According to its website, the PLCB has awarded over $4 million to colleges, universities and municipalities throughout Pennsylvania to help curb underage drinking and alcohol abuse by students since 1999.

Some like it hot, some like it cold The science behind residence hall temperatures Mary Grace Keller Asst. News Editor

Inside the new residence halls, copper systems can take the heat or air conditioning from one room and pump it into another.

At the touch of a button, students can control an eco-friendly adaptation called variable refrigerant flow (VRF), yet another update provided to the Shippensburg University campus by the Department of Facilities and Management.

If residents inside one room decide they want to lower the indoor temperature and residents inside another room in the same building wish to increase their room temperature, then the VRF system will pull the heat from one room and distribute it to the other.

A refrigerant flows through the pipes in the copper system which allows for temperature to rise or drop quickly. The greater the differential

A5

theslateonline.com/section/news

temperature between the two rooms, the faster the refrigerant can transform to the desired temperature.

This uses the same basic process as any air conditioning system, even that of a refrigerator.

To demonstrate the science behind the VRF system, Lance Bryson, associate vice president of facilities management and planning, conducted an experiment to illustrate the system’s efficiency.

Two copper rods placed in a mug of hot water were warm to the touch after absorbing the water’s heat.

One rod contained the refrigerant gas, while the other did not.

When placed in a mug containing cold water, the copper rod containing the gas changed temperature rapidly. The copper rod without the gas took several minutes to change temperature, illustrating the effect of the refrigerant gas.

Once the winter settles in and all of the students want their rooms to be

heated, the VRF system will run on electricity, as it will in the summer when residents want their rooms to be cold. When the rooms in residence halls vary slightly in temperature, VRF can run without electricity by discharging air from one room to another.

Shippensburg University Student Services Inc. covers the cost of construction of the new systems.

Residents of McLean II, Presidents Hall and Seavers Hall have VRF installed in their buildings.

The three new residence halls being built in Phase II also will use the new system. Fan coil systems exist in the older residence halls and in the academic buildings.

Economic analyses were conducted to determine how cost-effective the addition of a VRF system would be in comparison to fan coil systems. Towson University’s VRF system was examined in the process that determined this to be the best option for the university.

According to Lance Bryson, associate vice president of facilities, this diagram is an example of how the variable refrigerant flow system at SU operates.

Pa. sets new tattoo regulations Ana Guenther Opinion Editor

I love tattoos.

I think when done by an experienced tattoo artist they can really be something to appreciate.

Although the end result can look amazing, the process to get a tattoo can be painful and exhausting.

Think about it, a tiny needle is being pressed into your skin repeatedly, and the marks it leaves behind are permanent.

Getting a tattoo can be exciting, but I also think it is a responsibility as well — Not just for the individual getting a tattoo, but for the tattoo artist as well.

I decided to look into what kind of laws Pennsylvania requires of tattoo parlors, seeing as how they are dealing with piercing or engraving ink on someone’s body.

According to attorney and blog writer Tom Beveridge, on April 23, 2013, legislation was presented to the Pennsylvania House of Representatives to regulate tattoo shops and practices throughout Pennsylvania.

State Rep. Rosemary M. Brown, R-189th, introduced the The Body Art Establishment Regulation Act, HB1249, to the House in April of this year but was initially rejected by the Committee on Health.

On June 3, 2013 an amended copy of the bill was sent to the House and later approved.

The Body Art Establishment Regulation Act states that the Pennsylvania Department of Health must set restriction, for tattoo parlors across the state.

According to the National Conference of State Legislature’s website, the new restrictions for tattoos in Pennsylvania, are as follows: Tattoo or piercing establishments must purchase a $100 license fee in order to practice. The fee expires annually, and must be repurchased.

Tattoo artists are to undergo training for tattoos themselves, as well as learning how to handle needles and CPR in the event that a client passes out.

The Department of Health also has the authority now to conduct random inspections of tattoo shops across the state whenever it would like to ensure parlors are sanitary and safe for clients.

There are numerous other stipulations in the bill, but these points stood out the most for me.

For one thing, why have these laws not been in existence already?

Tattoos bring the risk of diseases like staph infections, and hepatitis.

These are serious health risks and I am surprised

that Pennsylvania has not already regulated tattooing practices like this up until recently.

I am all for tattoos, but I feel like these regulations make sense and are reassuring to clients who wish to get a tattoo.

If I am going to invest in a permanent work of art on my body I want to know that one, my tattoo will meet my expectations, and two, that the establishment where I am getting my tattoo is responsible enough to ensure that my health will not be affected, and this bill forces that to happen.

Now, I am not saying that every tattoo shop in Pennsylvania, is dirty and this bill is being created to get them to clean up their act.

There are dozens of very reputable tattoo shops all over this state that genuinely care about the happiness of their clients. This bill honestly will not affect them if they are already taking these precautions.

I do not want to suggest that every shop is careless.

The tattoo shops in Shippensburg are examples of responsible shops.

Tattoos are fun and these laws just make me want one even more.

I may be terrified of needles, and have a low pain tolerance, but still, now I have more peace of mind, and am ready to get a tattoo.

Do a tattoo, but do it right Cassandra Clarhaut Asst. Opinion Editor

Tattoos have become a popular form of self-expression.

The decision to get a tattoo is personal, yet many factors contribute to the choice.

First, where on your body do you want the tattoo? It may be hidden from public view, or open, such as on your lower arm or ankle.

Secondly, what career do you wish to obtain?

An office job or teaching position may be less lenient than a career as a personal trainer or a creative writer.

Lastly, can you stand to look at your ink for the rest of your life?

A 2012 Harris survey shows that only 14 percent of participants regret their tattoos, a number that has declined in recent years.

Tattoo removal is an option, though it is expensive.

Fredrick, Md, Cosmetic and Skin Surgery Center provides tattoo laser removal starting at $300.

Also, tattoos can be covered with more ink to transform the image on your body.

Shows like Spike TV’s

“Tattoo Nightmares” document the process, which usually involves a large cover up over the original tattoo.

Another problem that plagues the tattooed is a question of rebellion.

Tattoos have been associated with deviants and rebels, but as more people get inked, fewer people judge the form of expression.

The Harris survey also said that “adults aged 30-39 are most likely to have a tattoo (38 percent) compared to both those younger (30 percent of those 25-29 and 22 percent of those 18-24).”

I have three tattoos; one on my foot, one on my finger and one just below my elbow.

Each was planned carefully and because of their size can easily be hidden.

All of my tattoos are black for a reason. Color tattoos fade and I think they are just too much.

Face and neck tattoos are also too much. When a tattoo is in one of those places, a person loses his or her identity.

People who have ink on their faces cannot be taken seriously and I think they are trying too hard to appear tough.

I also hate tattoos that have an association with drug use.

When someone gets inked in between his or her pointer finger and thumb, I automatically think of shooting up.

Even though this is probably untrue, something about this location has an extremely negative connotation.

Unoriginal tattoos also do not impress me. I am over seeing tattoos of stars, butterflies, tribal symbols and your own name.

A tattoo must have meaning, symbolic or personal, and be done well.

Body art done at tattoo parties, (where a tattoo artist, professional or not, inks in someone’s home at discounted prices) usually does not yield high-quality tattoo results.

Consider a tattoo before you get one.

Make sure it will not prohibit a future career choice or someone’s perception of you. Even today, people will judge your ink.

Let it reflect your personality but make it worthwhile; it is permanent.

It is a commitment, make sure you are willing to have a lifelong realtionship with it.

Going through my first tattoo MYRISSA SORAH Staff Writer

Having recently made an appointment to get my first tattoo, I can say that I have definitely put a lot of consideration, necessary or not, into the idea. When I tell people that I am getting inked the reaction is pretty much the same — disbelief.

I get a lot of “you do not look the tattoo type.” I hate that people think you have to look a certain way or have a certain personality in order to sport a tattoo and it is annoying that tattoos are so often associated with corruption.

I am the kind of person who likes to be prepared, sometimes to a fault, so naturally I did a lot of research on the subject before I made my appointment. While scouring several different websites, I learned that tattoos were actually found present on multiple mummies, both male and

theslateonline.com/section/opinion

female, that dated back to circa.

2000 B.C. Tattoos even then were very personal and according to an article featured on smithsonianmag.com, they represented “status symbols, declarations of love, [and] signs of religious beliefs;” so why this bad stigma seems to linger on tattoos I have no idea.

When considering my own tattoo, the first thing I thought about was placement. I am not a big fan of largely visible tattoos, partially because of the whole issue about what is and is not appropriate in the workplace. I brought up the issue with my roommate who has tattoos and she said that as far as jobs go, she really does not worry

about her ink saying, “I believe people are becoming more liberal with those things. I could cover mine up if necessary, but I do not think I should have to because having a tattoo does not make me more or less qualified.”

While this is a great point, I am still wary about getting mine in an evident place so I am getting my tattoo in an area that is rarely visible. Then there are those who would argue “Why get a tattoo if no one is going to be able to see it?” To people of this opinion, I would say I am not getting a tattoo for others, I am getting it for myself so why should I care if anyone else can see it?

I have also heard all the arguments about tattoos being a bad idea because they look awful with age. I hate to be all YOLO and everything, it is too cliché, but I strongly believe that you should do what makes you happy. If it means getting a tattoo, then you should do it. That is exactly what I am doing.

Most of my friends are interested in tattoos and going out just to get something done to represent something bigger than themselves.

Whether it is a band name, memory of someone who’s passed on, or a reminder of who you are and what you do, tattoos can symbolize an experience and put it into a picture.

Although I do not have any tattoos and do not plan on getting any, I support those who do have tattoos for legitimate reasons and ideas that mean a great deal to them.

When it comes to working in a professional business, many com-

panies seem to shy away from tattoos. Places like food restaurants, hospitals and family-orientated industries. I agree that tattoos may be unnecessary components and hiding them would suffice, but not hiring a potential employee simply because they have tattoos is out of the question.

In many cases, people are getting tattoos because they feel more comfortable with them on their body. It is a recipe for disaster if you get a tattoo merely to fit in with a group of people or to try to prove something to yourself.

Only get a tattoo that you’re truly and genuinely interested in getting. Anything else you will

Then there are those who would argue “Why get a tattoo if no one is going to be able to see it?”

The truth behind tattoos and society NICHOLAS FINIO Staff Writer

Tattoos have penetrated American society over the years creating a wide array of differing styles and concepts of self-expression.

The younger generation seem more interested in tattoos than anyone else, searching for ways to innovate themselves with a permanent mark.

Tattoos are a vital part of our culture, allowing individuals a chance at showing off what they are proud of, who they are proud of, or what they are a part of.

just regret and have for the rest of your life. Tattoos have recently stepped into the media because now the army is setting a ban on tattoos above the neck, under the knee and below the elbow.

Current soldiers who already have tattoos in these spots can keep them, so long as “self-identify” them to their leading sergeants.

Tattoos that are racist, sexist or extremist are to be removed by the owner with money out of his or her own pocket.

Many have disagreed with this new ban but it will still be enforced in about 30 to 60 days.

If you need to question tattoos for yourself, then maybe they’re

not right for you.

But self-expression is all about design, flowing yourself into the world and putting who you are out there. I believe tattoos are appropriate in a daily setting — they have no real definition of who a person is and no one should be judged by what kind of tattoos they have. If you are interested in someone’s tattoo, simply ask one what the tattoo means to them and do go around judging before actually introducing and understanding the person behind the ink. Let everyone live and be who they are without putting them down or thinking twice before getting to know them.

What’s on my mind: Photo taken by Ana Guenther

At the moment, Ship Confessions ADRIAN SIPES

Staff Writers What is on my mind at the moment is the social media surrounding Shippensburg University.

Social media at one time were a fascinating thing for me.

I could not seem to get enough of it, especially when I came to SU. With meeting new people and making new friends, social media were the perfect outlet I needed in order to get in contact with those I had met in passing.

But now I despise it.

Most importantly, I despise the Ship Confessions Twitter page and every spinoff that has been created in light of it.

I will not lie and say I did not at one point in time think it was funny — because I did.

Yet now it reminds me of high school more than ever be-

fore. Even more so it reminds me of all the rude and humiliating things some high school students do to one another in their immature years as teens.

This is not high school — this is college — and not just any college.

We are SU, which is a highly respected university that brings in students from all walks of life.

This not only hurts our school, but as students of the university it makes us all look like one-tenth of the intelligent individuals we actually are. Some may believe in the saying that sticks and stones may break their bones but words will never hurt them.

Unfortunately, I find that hard to believe.

I believe this really does hurt feelings — deeply.

In addition, not only are these accounts hurting others but they are also walking a thin line with the law.

We as Americans have always enjoyed the glorious First

Amendment, the freedom of speech.

It gives us the right to say what we want and express how we feel.

But on the contrary, there is such a thing called defamation of the written word, also known as libel.

Libel is the publishing of false words or statements that damage a person’s reputation.

This is where it can get sketchy for those submitting their “confessions” to these Twitter accounts.

If in fact what is posted about a student is not true and they believe it has damaged their reputation, they could be liable to claim that defamation of the written word has taken place.

Yet, many will probably never do so — but it is possible.

Just keep that in mind before you go and ruin a person’s reputation.

If not, it might actually be your reputation that gets trashed in the end.

Sharing its culture and adding a new club to the Shippensburg campus, the Saudi Cultural Club celebrated for the first time the 83rd National Day on Thursday, Sept. 26 outside the Ezra Lehman Memorial Library.

Representing the cultural identity, the club organized a celebration with traditional food and music, henna tattoos in Arabic, pictures in traditional clothing, hookah and a display of arts and crafts.

Attendees were also able to leave with giveaways such as bracelets, necklaces and small fans.

Many students and staff came out to join in the celebration, either by hearing about it through prior promotion by the club or being welcomed in as they passed by.

SU senior Nicole Williams said, “I’ve been seeing the flyers on campus and I wanted to come and interact.

“I think it is amazing. I wish Ship would do more things like this. It is a very inviting environment.”

However, it was more than a festive event.

The event also provided various information about Saudi Arabia with pamphlets including information on Saudi arts and crafts, economic cities and the technological revolution. The event was described as being the biggest event of the year for the club and its culture.

Before this event, the club had its struggles with getting started due to finances and other issues.

Club creator and graduate student, Sara Al Uraifi said, “We faced a lot of difficulties in opening this. I explained that we can get funds from the [student] government and after two months of struggle, we got approval.”

Al Uraifi also explained the inspiration for wanting to start the Saudi Cultural club.

“I was surprised we didn’t have one. I wanted the challenge to start the club and wanted to help the students,” she said.

Now the club is able to add to the number of cultural clubs on campus and inform students of Saudi culture as well as help the international students adjust. The club does so by celebrating all events that are celebrated in Saudi Arabia, such as

National Day, and engaging with other students while doing so.

The Saudi Cultural Club hopes to include everyone and to break the political and social issues that some associate with Saudi Arabian culture.

“The goal is to have others view Saudi Arabia in a different light. It illustrates a glimpse of how Saudi culture really is,” Uraifi said.

Feedback from the event included positive comments from those who attended.

Students and staff enjoyed food, photos and hennas while learning about the culture which helped create a welcoming environment.

Sophomore Amber Laufer said, “There were many activities where you could interact with the people and find out about the culture. The food was great and I had a chance to get a henna. The experience was worth it.”

If interested in learning more about the Saudi Cultural Club or the events it hosts, visit the clubs Facebook page, Saudi Cultural Club at Shippensburg University, or contact Sara Al Uraifi at sa4359@ship.edu.

Eight students in multicolored sneakers gathered on the lawn in front of Henderson Gym before running together toward Old Main, beginning their twice weekly group run around campus.

The new SU Run Club meets every Tuesday at 3:30 p.m. and every Friday at noon to run a set route.

“I have a map that is highlighted, and we take the same loop every time so there is consistency,” said Jen Reedy, the Coalition for Christian Outreach campus minister who started the club.

Reedy said she started the club because she enjoyed the run club while she was in school and saw a need for it at SU. “I saw how people grew in the atmosphere of making friends, so I wanted to create

the same atmosphere on this campus,” said Reedy.

The club is open to runners of any ability.

“I want it to be an atmosphere of anyone being welcome as far as if you want to walk, jog, sprint, run whatever you want to do,” Reedy said.

The route remains consistent every day, but the club has alternate routes to suit the ability of the runners.

“There’s three different ways that you can take the course. The first one is a 2.6-mile loop and then you can cut it short to two miles and then there’s a one-mile route,” Reedy said.

Reedy is planning on keeping the club going, regardless of weather.

“For healthy living, we need to exercise anyway so why not be consistent with the group?”

Kristen Skaugen, instructor of exercise science at SU agreed that it is important to

keep the momentum going year-round.

“I think it’s beneficial to get people involved and to keep people involved,” Skaugen said.

“I’ve seen running in a group allow people to have more fun and the atmosphere of being in a group makes it go quicker, you have more fun and there’s more accountability,” Reedy said.

The group mentality of the club helps runners to stay motivated to exercise.

“I just like the idea of running in a group because you motivate each other along the way, talk to each other, and it really doesn’t seem that bad” club member Sarah Franssen said.

“You feel like you have that commitment.

Even though you can come and go as you please, you kind of feel like ‘oh OK, well they’ll be there, so I guess I need to go too’” Skaugen said.

The SU Run Club meets twice a week to run a set route. The route remains consistent, but there are alternate routes available. The club was started by Jen Reedy who made the club open to all runners.

Fifty Shades of Grey discussed for Banned Books Week theslateonline.com/section/shiplife

Michael Shipman Staff Writer

It was an hour of discussing one of the most controversial and challenged books ever published.

Shippensburg university students gathered in Room 106 of the Ezra Lehman Memorial Library Thursday afternoon to discuss “Fifty Shades of Grey” during the library’s Banned and Challenged Books Week that ran from Sept. 22 to 28.

“Fifty Shades of Grey” by E.L. James is the first of a bestselling trilogy that focuses on a complicated relationship between a college graduate named Anastasia Steele and a young businessman named Christian Grey.

The book is listed No. 4 on the Banned and Challenged Books list because of its explicit erotic sequences and offensive language.

The panelists hosting the event included associate professor Chantana Charoenpanitkul; Catherine Clay of the history/philosophy department; Stephanie Erdice, director of the Women’s Center; professor Christy Fic,

instructor librarian; political science professor Sara Grove; and Rebecca Ward, director of women’s and gender studies.

The discussion started off in a comedic way when the panelists showed the audience a YouTube video of comedian Ellen DeGeneres doing numerous outtakes of an audio reading of “Fifty Shades of Grey,” refusing to read the graphic descriptions and instead using sounds from various objects.

Then the real discussion began.

The panelists spent much more time criticizing the book and analyzing the controversial themes and content than praising or defending it.

Some remarks the panelists made about the book included the book dragging along and being hard to read, the unrealistic characters, the debate about the book being more about porn than about a relationship, and the overall bad writing style by James.

“I felt the book really dragged out and I did not really connect with the characters because I did not feel like the characters were very

They played on a lot of stereotypes; I felt that they were very unrealistic in ways that they were just making them

kind of extreme,” Erdice said.

“I feel that, when I was reading the book, it was not a page-turner for me because I felt that it was angry at a lot

of points; there were control issues,” Fic said.

“The writing is so incredibly bad.” Ward said.

One student whose name is to remain annonymous spoke to the panelists about their experience with the book.

“My mom actually read it and told me not to read it, so naturally, I read it. And I got midway through the book and was absolutely horrified that my mother read it,” the student said.

“There were some inaccuracies related to sexual behavior,” Ward said. “If this is your first book about sex, then you are getting some really inaccurate information about sex.”

Erdice expressed her thoughts on the novel being degrading to young women.

She thought that the middle-aged female characters, as old as James was when she published the book, were portrayed as very classy, organized and dominant characters. Anastasia is a young college graduate who is a “hot mess,” and is portrayed as such throughout the novel.

However, as much as the panel criticized the novel, they did have some positive

things to say about it as well.

“It sparked reading in people that are non-readers, because I was really stunned going around campus. There were a lot of women who were not traditionally people I’d consider book readers,” Grove said.

When asked why the book is so popular, Clay said, “She [James] actually did something to market [the book].

She was something of a mom and she was an earlier TV executive, and she did a lot to promote it.”

Ward added,“This sort of gave women permission to talk about sex, and I think that wasn’t necessarily a bad thing.” Whether or not “Fifty Shades of Grey” deserves to be on the Banned and Challenged Books list, it is clear that the best-selling trilogy has become a hot topic for debate and discussion because of its controversial content.

With a motion picture adaptation planned for release in August 2014, “Fifty Shades” could become the next big literature buzz.

Classic rock band Kansas comes to Luhrs theslateonline.com/section/ae

Laura Kreiser Staff Writer

Gray but gold; that is how many would describe Kansas’ performance at the Luhr’s Performing Arts Center on Friday, Sept. 27. A packed house, screaming fans, loud music and impressive lighting came together to bring a stunning show.

While Kansas was the anticipated act, Arc and Stones, who toured with Kansas for this tour, opened up the night.

“Let Me Down” was one of the few songs that held the crowd’s attention, the soulful sound filling the room.

There was a small hiccup; a long pause as the lead singer changed guitars in the middle of a song, but all else went smoothly.

Yet, many T-shirts showed that Arc and Stones was not why the people were there. As soon as the band walked on stage, the crowd lost it. The 40-year-old band hit the stage hard, setting the tone for a very

impactful and loud night.

Songs such as “Point of Know Return,” “Dust In The Wind,” and “Cheyenne Anthem” displayed the band’s passion for music. Kansas expressed its gratitude for the fans sticking with them for all this time and a particular liking to the Pennsylvania crowd, especially during the 40-year anniversary.

After that, “Fight Fire With Fire” was dedicated to the soldiers and veterans in the room, followed by cheering and standing fans.

Then, “Carry On My Wayward Son” blasted through the room, prompting fans of all ages to throw their hands up and sing along to the band’s famous song. Ending its song with a standing ovation, Kansas thanked the crowd then walked off, leaving the crowd still screaming and cheering.

Even with the age of the band, the members showed that age means nothing when it comes to talent and ability that a band can display, showing that gray can truly be gold.

Despit the band’s age and years of touring, Kansas kept the show going without any sign of wear and tear.

Shippensburg student Josh Woltz publishes first book Matthew Kline A&E Editor

Josh Woltz, who goes by J.R. Woltz on his book, is a sophomore art major at Shippensburg University, having transferred from Penn State University.

Recently he has had his first novel published through Amazon on its Kindle e-book shop, called “Dragonsfyre Trilogy: Mask of the Cavalier,” the first of a trilogy of novels he plans on writing.

“Dragonsfyre Trilogy: Mask of the Cavalier” is a fantasy epic on a massive scale. Woltz creates a world of faeries, wizards and knights in a steampunk-like environment.

Woltz has published articles in local newspapers and magazines as well as having painted commissioned pieces of art. He said he approaches his writing the same way he does his art; it has to be beautiful.

“I have to be moved on three levels. I have to be moved intellectually, I have to be moved Photo by Matthew Kline spiritually and I have to be moved emotionally, in a posiJosh Woltz is an avid painter and writer, having produced many commissioned paintings.

tive direction,” Woltz said.

Woltz said the idea for the novel and trilogy were a decade in the making. He aims to create a fantasy novel that is drastically different to today’s fantasies, such as “Lord of the Rings” and “Grimm’s Fairytales.”

He spent last summer in Scotland where he drew inspiration for the second novel.

His family is filled with Celtic ancestry, which he drew inspiration from and put into the making of his novels.

“I incorporate a great deal of my Celtic ancestors and culture into the book. The ancient belief system of the Celtics and the Druids is what I draw upon for the spiritually of the book.

The book is highly spiritual in that respect, not religious,” Woltz said.

Woltz went into detail on how the novel and the trilogy will play out, without spoiling the story. He said the books would get larger as the series goes on, and he plans to write a companion novel for the book after the trilogy is done. The side novel would be a first-person histori-

cal account of the events of the trilogy.

He also went over the allegory that he puts into his novels.

He talked for a while about how he incorporated many themes that comment on societies’ problems today.

Woltz explained how it is one of the biggest themes of the book in relation to technology, society and spirituality.

He wants the reader to realize what is happening to our world and that we need to change it, such is the cause of conflict in the novel.

One of his hopes is to really pull the reader into the book and the world that he created.

He wants the reader to not be able to put the book down and keep wanting more and the next novel.

Spirituality is a concept largely explored in his book.

Woltz discussed how the world today has essentially lost the sense of spirituality and moved toward religion.

Technology and its implications on society are present in the book as well.

“Right now we are dealing

with technology that is no longer making our life simple.

Technology is running rampant and the technologists, the scientists, the engineers who develop this were so preoccupied with whether or not they could do something they never bothered to stop and consider whether they should.”

He went on to discuss how, in relation to the topic, we have various laws that now prevent us from using the same technology that is supposed to make our lives “easier.”

Carlisle hosts Harvest of the Arts Festival to showcase local art CHRISTOPHER RITTER Guest Writer

Photos by Christopher Ritter

The 32nd annual Harvest of the Arts Festival was held in historic downtown Carlisle, Pa., on Saturday, Sept. 28.

More than 100 artists and craftspeople exhibited their work in pottery, leatherwork, photography, painting and many other mediums. Two stages showcased local musical talent, including Mad Men, Aerica Lauren and Ajay Shughart’s Rhythm on Main. The Carlisle Theatre and Performing Arts Center offered live previews of upcoming performances of “Spamalot,” a Broadway musical comedy based on the film “Monty Python and the Holy Grail.”

A special addition this year was the Meeting of the Marques, a showcase of classic automobiles that celebrated their sculptural beauty. More than a dozen food vendors were on hand to solve any hunger or thirst issues, and street performers and an

activities area for the children demonstrated the family-fun atmosphere.

Dave Klingensmith, a potter and retired art teacher from Coatesville, Pa., said this was his third year at the festival. It is one of four that he participates in every year.

Jennifer Shue, another ceramics artist and a resident of Carlisle, said it was the second year for her because the response to her work was so strong. For leatherworker Nick Duval of Kingston, Pa., this was his first show ever, after years of national success online.

Duval Leatherwork specializes in historic leather military reproductions, and some of his work is on display at the U.S. Army Heritage Education Center located in Carlisle. His firm also provides historically accurate reproductions for many of the re-enactments groups nationwide.

Pat Craig, owner of Pat Craig Studios, said that activities like the Harvest Festival help the downtown area to grow stronger.

Craig is a founding member

of the neighborhood merchants association, The Pomfret Group.

The 11-member group, along with the Downtown Carlisle Association and other local businesses, host or support a number of events like the Harvest Festival that benefit the downtown and the community.

These events include: First Night, a nationwide non-profit program for family fun every New Year’s Eve; First Fridays, what Craig calls a weekly “meet and greet, get to know your neighbors” held in Carlisle’s Historic District; and the Downtown Carlisle Association’s weekly music series, Music in the Garden, showcasing local and regional music talent.

Just 18 miles north of Shippensburg, Carlisle is close enough to make it a local destination not just for major events like the Harvest of the Arts Festival, but for food, shopping, and entertainment year round. Check out lovecarlisle.com, carlisletheatre. org or firstnightcarlisle.org for more information.

‘FIFA 14’ holds crown as top soccer game ZAC DAVIS

Chief Copy Editor “FIFA 14” is the latest installment of EA’s perennial soccer franchise, and it has improved just as it has every year.

This year, there are a ton of new physics improvements that have really served to make the game more realistic.

What was once the draw of Pro Evolution Soccer (FIFA’s only competitor) is now a strength in both franchises.

Larger defenders can now easily push tiny forwards off the ball when they are sprinting, which should have always been the case. These same large defenders will be slower with their touches on the ball, though, and this will show in the flow of the game.

Touches are now much more realistic as well, with it becoming increasingly difficult to trap and control rocket-like passes coming from teammates unless you are controlling one of the best players in the world.

Like Lionel Messi, for example. You can take the ball straight out of the air from a

But even if you know how to do that, you will not be able to with a lesser skilled player, such as an MLS striker.

This used to not be the case in older FIFA games, which relied heavily on the skill of the controlling person rather than the players on the field.

modes, but there are marked improvements. Manager Mode has an all new way of scouting: The Global Scouting Network.

The Global Scounting Network gives you the opportunity to find any specific player you want, but how well your staff finds the player you are looking for is based on its experience and your instructions.

Scouting can also give you more insight into how much a player is worth and how likely they would be to join your side if both teams approve a deal.

The online modes including

“FIFA 14” has easily kept the crown for best soccer game this year with the game becoming more realistic all-around.

Next year, perhaps EA will take more leaps and bounds instead of incremental improvements, with fewer people relying on current-gen systems.

D3 Ravin’ Raider Infected Mushroom Julie Klinger

Staff Columnist Deep in the Haifa District in 1996, an amazing journey began for the Israeli psychedelic trance duo known today as Infected Mushroom.

The duo consists of Amit “Duvdev” Duvdevani and Erez Eisen, who both began training at a young age, immersing themselves in classical piano studies, computerized music, keyboard practice and songwriting.

Duvdevani and Eisen are classified as revolutionary artists who really self-invented their own genre of psychedelic trance that blew away many mainstream trance artists, making the genre of psychedelic trance more familiar and relatable to listeners.

The duo is most famous for using a variety of synthesizers and acoustic guitars. In other words, Infected Mushroom broke the mold for the trance scene in the late ’90s.

The duo’s first album “The Gathering,” released in 1999, pushed Israeli psytrance officially onto the scene with the album’s deep, rhythmic sound. In 2004, Infected Mushroom released its fifth studio album “IM the Supervisor” which was its best selling album to date.

The pair released their highest grossing album in 2007 titled “Vicious Delicious,” which sent the team’s career skyrocketing.

“Vicious Delicious” included a variety of instruments and vocals. In 2009, Infected Mushroom released its album “Legend of the Black Shawarma,” which refers to the story about an Australian man who wanted to be

dropped into the sea enclosed in a shark-proof cage and was told he would smell like the Middle Eastern delicacy shawarma to the sharks.

“Legends of the Black Shawarma” led to a three-year tour and the inspiration to create Infected Mushroom’s newest album, “Army of Mushrooms,” released in May 2012 by Dim Mak Records. The album includes a range of different genres such as house and drum and bass.

Infected Mushroom started their FungusAmongus tour in 2013 and has also recently released two collaborative EPs titled “Friends on Mushrooms Vol. 1” and “Friends on Mushrooms Vol. 2.”

Other Infected Mushroom albums include “Classical Mushroom” released in 2000, “B.P. Empire” released in 2001 and “Converting Vegetarians” released in 2003.

The duo has been ranked twice as one of the world’s “10 best DJs” by U.K. magazine Bible of the Scene. Infected Mushroom was placed at No. 9 in the DJmag Top 100 DJs poll and was also the highest ranked psytrance DJ in the category in 2007.

I got into these guys in high school, when my love of trance and house was blossoming. The tracks that got me hooked were “Cities of the Future” and “IM the Supervisor.” Infected Mushroom currently resides in Los Angeles, Calif., and is signed to Dim Mak Records, Perfecto Records and Brand New Entertainment.

Infected Mushroom’s notable career is still thriving as it continues to create its unique sound for fans all over the globe.

RYAN TREXLER Sports Editor AND

BRYAN OBAROWSKI Asst. Sports Editor

With baseball winding down and the cold days in the near future, ice hockey fans gear up for what should be an exciting and eventful season of rough and tough ice hockey.

Ryan and Bryan debate if they are ready for this year’s hockey season.

Ryan:

I personally am excited for hockey season to start, with the lockout delaying the start of last season its time that hockey gets going again.

I am not a huge hockey fan and actually just experienced my first hockey game last year with a few friends and it was really something to see. The atmosphere in a hockey arena is just astonishing, and it is something everyone should experience in his or her life.

I am a Philadelphia Flyers fan and everyone knows that Flyers fans are always

behind their team no matter how good or bad a season they have.

The game itself is another story. The speed of the game is incredible and how hard the players play is awesome.

Those players put their bodies on the line every time they touch the ice. They know they can get seriously injured but they play the game no differently.

Not to mention it is the only sport besides mixed martial arts and boxing where fighting is allowed.

Seeing those guys go toe-totoe on skates is great.

Bare-knuckle brawling in the middle of the arena just gets the crowd so pumped up.

For a game that is not native to the United States it is treated like it has been here forever.

It is a game that kids play in the cold and the snow and one that many fans including myself are glad to have back.

Once the preseason is over and skates are laced up, real hockey fans across the world will have smiles on their faces and will be

Raiders roll over Marauders, Zulli and Metz set records Zulli and Metz make huge impacts on respective sides of the ball as Raiders pick up second straight win RYAN TREXLER Sports Editor

Senior quarterback Zach Zulli evades the Marauders’ defense during Saturday afternoon’s huge 48–10 win.

Sheldon Mayer caught three passes for 35 yards and two touchdowns, helping the Raiders surge past MU.

In just the second PSAC East matchup of the year, the Shippensburg University football team steamrolled Millersville University 48–10 Saturday afternoon.

The Raiders made a statement early that they were going to dominate the game. SU drove down the field in just 14 plays, collecting 71 yards on the way and finishing off the drive with a touchdown pass from senior quarterback Zach Zulli to junior wide receiver Sheldon Mayer.

Mayer only had 35 receiving yards on the day but scored two key touchdowns for the Raiders during their big victory.

“Every time you step on the field and you have Zach as your quarterback you got an advantage...there is a lot of pressure on that young man’s shoulders and he’s handled that well,” head coach Mark Maciejewski said.

Zulli did not let the pressure get to him and posted great numbers for SU yet again, notching 353 passing yards and registered five passing TDs. With his five touchdown passes Zulli becomes just the fourth PSAC quarterback ever to throw 100 touchdown passes in his career.

MU cut the lead to 7–3 when Evan Stahl knocked in a 24-yard field goal.

Zulli found Mayer yet again on SU’s fourth drive of the game for a 7-yard touchdown pass.

SU dominated the rest of the game. The Raiders scored once more before the half when Zulli and junior wide receiver Trevor Harman connected for a 59 yard touchdown pass just 14 seconds before the second quarter ended, sending the Raiders’ lead to 20–3.

“When Trevor gets the ball in his hands he is dangerous. He is always dan-

gerous,” Maciejewski said.

Harman was indeed dangerous against the Marauders Saturday afternoon. Harman accumulated 151 receiving yards and added two touchdowns to his season total.

Raider junior wide receiver Quran Kent caught a touchdown pass from Zulli in the third quarter.

SU’s junior running back Blair Brooks added two more touchdowns to the Raiders’ lead, one coming off an 8-yard touchdown run and the other from an 89-yard kickoff return.

Brooks recorded 112 rushing yards throughout today’s game, his first 100-plus-yard rushing game this season.

The Raiders added on one more touchdown before the game came to a close when Zulli found Harman open one more time. The connection went for 45 yards, capping the Raiders’ lopsided victory.

Throughout all of the offensive action the Raiders’ defense was just as stellar.

SU’s defense held MU to just three yards rushing and only 230 total offensive yards.

Senior defensive lineman Jake Metz set a new school record for career sacks during Saturday’s game; Metz now has 24.5 career sacks.

“Anything career leading is awesome but really I owe it to the D-line as a whole,” Metz said.

Metz gave credit where it was due because the whole defensive line has performed to the highest expectations possible so far this season, especially on Saturday.

Junior linebacker Chase Fleming recorded a career high six tackles, two and a half of which were for loss.

The Raiders will now return home Saturday as they face a struggling, 0–4 Seton Hill University team.

Kickoff is set for 1 p.m. at Seth Grove Stadium.

Wide receiver Trevor Harman tallied 151 receiving yards on Saturday, his third 100-plus receiving game this year.

A game for the ages in Shippensburg

Jett taps in game-winning goal in double overtime victory, Raiders remain undefeated BRENDAN GATES Staff Writer

The Shippensburg University field hockey team won a nail-biting double overtime battle over rival Bloomsburg University by a score of 1–0 on Saturday afternoon.

The pace of the game was fast with both teams moving the ball down the field trying to strike first in the opening minutes of the game but the defense did not allow anything near the net.

The first opportunity of the game was in favor of the Raiders 12 minutes in.

The Raiders were able to get past the Huskies’ defense but the shot by SU’s Lucy Kauffman was saved

by BU’s goalie Megan Epply.

The Raiders recorded two more shots on goal in the first half, both saved by the Huskies goalie.

SU’s Megan Jett shed some light on the rivalry saying, “It’s always a tough game against Bloomsburg

so the rivalry was there.

It’s really exciting that we won.”

The Raiders picked up the tempo going into the second half. SU was tiring out the Huskies’ defense and it looked as if SU would finally break through but nothing was getting past BU’s goalie.

In the second half, SU had five penalty corners but could not capitalize.

The Raiders’ best opportunity came in the final minute of regulation with a penalty corner by Lauren Taylor.

Taylor shot the ball in play toward the direction of Lucy Kauffman, Kauffman took a shot on the goal but the shot was blocked.

The Raiders looked like they were going to capture the victory seven minutes into the first overtime.

SU’s Cassie Rawa shot the ball and made it past the goalie but the ball clinked off the post.

The pace of the game slowed down during the second overtime and SU needed to make some ad-

justments.

“We tried to get everyone up again. I feel like we did start to die down with the energy so we just built it back up,” Jett said.

It looked like the game was going to end up in a scoreless tie but with eight minutes left in the second overtime Megan Jett scored the game-winning goal for the Raiders, her sixth of the season.

Raider Bre White assisted Jett and Jett knocked it in from the left post.

The team was overwhelmed with excitement and rushed the field to congratulate Jett.

“It’s so exciting…I totally thought I was going to get trampled down there,” Jett said jokingly.

The Raiders will have time to rest up, prepare for Photo by Brendan Gates their next game and enjoy Raider Megan Jett battles for control of a loose ball during Saturday afternoon’s game. this victory as they have the week off.

The Raiders will be back in action Saturday when they travel to Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

The game time is set for 7 p.m.

Women’s soccer falls to Gannon BRYAN OBAROWSKI

Asst. Sports Editor In an away match against Gannon University, the Shippensburg University women’s soccer team could not pick up its sixth win of the season, dropping the game 2–0.

The first half of the game saw no scoring from either team. SU had only two shots in the first half, compared with eight shots by GU. In the second half of the game, SU took seven shots, but the five shots that GU took would prove to be the

difference in the game. Two of the five shots made their way to the back of the goal.

In the 66th minute, GU’s Kaitlyn Kissell redirected a header that found the back of the net to break the deadlock.

Then, in the 77th minute, GU added another goal by Michelle Genetin.

Both goals were assisted by Mani Brueckner.

The Golden Knights had a more efficient offensive attack during the game, taking 13 shots. GU put six shots on target. SU was able to take nine shots, only two were on target.

Even though the Raiders

lost the match on Saturday afternoon, SU junior mid-fielder Carolyn Smith led both teams in shots on goal, totaling five during the game.

The tough loss against the Golden Knights dropped the Raiders’ record to 5–3 on the season and 4–3 in the PSAC. The Raiders have a perfect record at home this season, and will look to keep that streak alive in the next game.

SU will face off against a tough Millersville University team on Wednesday, Oct. 2, at 7:30 p.m. at Robb Sports Complex.

On the first day of the PSAC crossover, the SU volleyball team won its opening match against Indiana University of Pennsylvania in three sets by scores 25–21, 25–22 and 25–23.

The match against the Crimson Hawks opened a stretch of nine matches against PSAC teams, including the Raiders’ first home game of the year on Oct. 5.

In the match against IUP, all three sets were closely contested, but SU ultimately pulled through to win in three sets.

Senior Jill Edwards led the way with 17 kills, while adding one ace and two blocks in the match. Freshman Maura Nolan led the Raiders in assists with 37 in the match.

The Raiders looked to sweep their opponents on Friday, SU faced Seton Hill University in the second

match, but found no way to get past the tough defense of the Griffins.

SU lost the match in straight sets, 15–25, 20–25 and 21–25.

As a team, the Raiders hit only .061 and struggled to find their offensive rhythm, collecting only six kills in the first set, 10 in the second and 12 in the third. Even though Jill Edwards led both teams in kills with 12, SU could not get past SHU. On Saturday, the Raiders faced Clarion University and California University of Pennsylvania. Clarion has yet to lose a match this year, winning its first 12 matches. SU and California have similar records on the season, and met in the second match of the day on Saturday.

Saturday

In the first match against undefeated PSAC opponent Clarion, the Raiders put up a fair fight, but could not give Clarion its first loss of the season.

CU took the match in four sets with scores of 19–25, 21–25, 25–22 and 14–25.

With the exception of the last set, SU battled in the match. There were 19 tied scores in the match and 10 lead changes between SU

and CU. Jill Edwards again led the team in kills with 24 in the match, which brought her season total to 216 kills.

Nolan contributed 36 assists in the match against CU. Nolan has tallied 454 assists on the season.

Freshman Maria Peluso led the team with 21 digs in the match, but ultimately, the contributions could not overcome the attack of the Golden Eagles.

The loss against CU dropped the Raiders’ record to 8–5 and 1–2 in the PSAC. The second match on Saturday was against CU. The final match of the weekend series did not end well for SU. Hitting only .093 as a team in the final match, SU fell to California in four sets, 25–20, 13–25, 20–25 and 15–25.

The 21 kills from Jill Edwards could not overcome the 27 errors in the match by the Raiders.

Over the four-game weekend series, SU went 1–3, losing three straight to end the PSAC crossover.

After the struggling weekend, SU is now 8–6 overall and 1–3 in PSAC play.

The Raiders’ first home match of the year is Oct.4, against West Chester.

Thrilling victory for men’s Soccer

Roy’s game winner pushes SU past Golden Knights CALE AHEARN Staff Writer

The Shippensburg University men’s soccer team (4–2–1) narrowly escaped with a 3–2 double overtime victory against Gannon University (2–6) on Saturday afternoon.

The Raiders opened the scoring when junior midfielder Chris Black netted his first goal of the season in the first half.

Gannon responded with two second-half goals within five minutes of each other to take the lead 2–1.

In the 82nd minute, junior forward Derrick Roy tied the game at 2–2 with

his third goal of the season, forcing the game to go into overtime.

The first overtime period was scoreless, which forced a second overtime.

Finally, Roy scored the game-winning goal in the second overtime to give the Raiders a 3–2 victory.

The goal was Roy’s fourth of the season and capped a comeback win for the Raiders.

The Raiders return home to take on a strong Millersville University team. The Marauders are currently 5–2–1 overall and 2–0 in PSAC play.

If the Raiders want to capture their second

straight PSAC victory they will have to shut down sophomore forward Jaime Vazquez.

Vazquez currently leads MU with four goals and one assist. Another player SU will have to keep in check is sophomore midfielder Jeramey Robbins.

Robbins is not the scoring machine that Vazquez is but he is not afraid to share the ball.

Robbins is credited with six assists, the most on the Marauders’ team, to go along with three goals of his own.

The weekday matchup is set for 5 p.m. at Robb Sports Complex.

CORRECTION In last week’s issue there was an article credited to the wrong person. The Mariano Rivera article on E7 should have been credited to Cale Ahearn.
