BB shooter still at large after string of incidents theslateonline.com/section/news

Student shot in face, windows shot at McLean and Spiritual Center William Kauffman News Editor

A number of incidents involving BB shootings on campus have the University Police looking for a suspect who could face charges ranging from criminal mischief to assault. Near the beginning of the semester, a student was visiting a friend in McLean Hall, rolled into the hallway on an office chair and was shot in the right cheek by a BB. Before he could look to see what happened, he heard doors slam and no one was in sight. That student required medical attention at Chambersburg Hospital due to the BB being lodged under his skin. The police conducted searches and interviews after the incident, but no suspect or weapon were located.

Officer Thomas Rumberger shows the approximately 15 BB pistols the University Police have confiscated over the past decade.

If a suspect was found in this case, he or she would at least face simple assault charges, according to Lt. Thomas Rumberger of the University Police. Besides that, there have been a couple of incidents in recent weeks involving crim-

inal mischief using BBs, according to Rumberger. At McLean Hall, where the student was shot in the face, someone shot the glass front door with a BB, causing the window to shatter. “The unfortunate thing about the glass door being

they never became students,” Hanger said. “Corbett made such a mess of our educational system.” Current governor Tom Corbett cut approximately $1 billion from education, which Hanger plans to reverse. Every Pennsylvanian would have access to at least 1 to 2 years of college without needing loans in Hanger’s plan. Instead, the first couple years would be paid for by taking 1-2 percent out of students’ paychecks after graduation. With a progressive view on marijuana, Hanger wants to first allow medical marijuana and then decriminalize it for recreational use. He said it would be legal by 2017. This means people could no longer have a permanent criminal record for possession of small amounts of marijuana. About $325 million is spent yearly arresting people for possession, according to Hanger’s marijuana reform

plan. Hanger calls the current laws “destructive” and said, “It doesn’t achieve anything.” Once legal, it would be taxed and regulated like alcohol, creating new revenue. Hanger also promises to legalize gay marriage and believes that whomever people decide to marry is nobody’s business but their own. Churches would still have the religious right to decide whom they can and cannot marry. “It is time Pennsylvania has a new birth of freedom,” Hanger said. Hanger has a detailed jobs plan that will use alternative energy resources and create jobs in public education, health care and transportation. The money necessary to implement his plans would come from saying yes to Medicaid expansion, taxes on gas drilling and smokeless tobacco products, reforming mari-

shot at McLean is everyone in that building has to pay for that,” Rumberger said. Also, during homecoming weekend, someone shot a window with a BB at Cora I. Grove Spiritual Center. It is unknown if these incidents are related, but this is

not the first time officers have dealt with students having BB guns and pistols on campus. One concern is the gun being used in these incidents looking like a real pistol. Rumberger pulled out a box full of confiscated items

including at least 15 BB pistols that did not have orange tips on them, and looked like real pistols. They were gathered over approximately a 10-year time period. Rumberger mentioned that if one of them were pulled out on someone, especially at night, one would not question the authenticity of the gun. This adds to the risk of the BB pistols being used to rob someone since it is hard to tell the difference. Either way, they are dangerous to have on campus,and banned by the university’s policy. However, they are not illegal in the state of Pennsylvania. He encouraged students to report to University Police if they see someone with a BB gun, or provide them with any information they may have on these recent incidents.

Gubernatorial candidate meets with students at SU Robyn Woodley

Multimedia Editor Democratic candidate John Hanger touched on issues regarding education, marijuana and equal marriage rights at Shippensburg University on Tuesday. “I don’t want to let big money buy another governor,” Hanger said to a group of students at the Dauphin Humanities Center. Hanger served as Pennsylvania’s Secretary of Environmental Protection and was former Commissioner of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission. Hanger’s “Policy First, Politics Second” campaign focuses on putting money back into education, legalizing marijuana and gay marriage, taxing and regulating natural gas drilling and implementing a plan to increase jobs. “Too many students are not with us tonight because

juana laws and reprioritizing the budget. Hanger is confident in his ability to become the new governor. A recent poll showed Hanger ahead of Corbett. With eight other democratic candidates, he would need only about 300,000

votes to win the gubernatorial election, which leaves the race wide open, according to Hanger. After the talk, Hanger made sure to learn the names of all the students who attended and left it open for questions. Students asked questions

about the education budget, marijuana laws and equal marriage rights. “I will be a really strong governor for you,” Hanger said. More information on Hanger’s campaign can be found at www.hangerforgovernor.com.

PRSSA officers attend national conference

Students meet with professionals in the field Codie Eash

Staff Writer Four officers representing SU’s Public Relations Student Society of America (PRSSA) Chapter attended the PRSSA National Conference in Philadelphia two weeks ago. The conference’s theme was “Foundation for Innovation,” and took place at the downtown Loews Hotel. The five-day PRSSA conference attracted an estimated 2,000 members mainly from across the United States. One group, said SU Chapter President Stephanie Wyjadka, came all the way from Colombia, South America. “Everyone freaked out. It was pretty cool,” she said about that group’s introduction. From Friday, Oct. 25 to Tuesday, Oct. 29, members listened to speakers, attended workshops and collaborated with one another. The speakers were mostly public relations professionals, including some who represented professional sports teams — the Philadelphia Phillies and 76ers as well as the Chicago Cubs. There were also representatives from multinational corporations such as Campbell’s Soup. “Hearing from someone who is in the industry and at the top of the industry is great,” Wyjadka said. “The real world experience was the most eye-opening to me.” While attendees sat in on workshops and speakers, they were encouraged to tweet about their experiences and knowledge, using the hashtag #PRSSANC. Wyjadka said that at one point, the tag was a trending topic on Twitter. “I’ve never seen that in action before, so it was really cool to see. Speakers started following me and these people have connections,” she said. Also in attendance was Emily Goodman, SU’s PRSSA treasurer. Goodman said

her focus was on finding new ways to fundraise and getting members more involved in those efforts. She also attended workshops dedicated to diversity and community service. “It was great to see so many groups presenting what they excel at,” Goodman said. Goodman also attended a panel of recent college graduates who had already secured positions within the public relations field. She said they

put things into perspective for all in attendance, teaching them the realities of searching for jobs. “It was really eye opening. I’m glad I sat in on that one,” she said. Elizabeth Rachlin, SU’s chapter secretary, said she learned a lot about the value of teamwork within an organization like PRSSA. “Having everyone on your team is a must before planning an event,” she said. “I really hope to apply these ideas in Kupkakes for Kris,” she said, “because I think it would be beneficial to the whole group.” Kupkakes for Kris is a service organization that focuses on providing “financial support for families impacted by the cost of cancer treatments and related personal experiences,” according to the

to work on SU’s social skills, in terms of getting PRSSA members to socialize more often. “The biggest thing I took away to add to our chapter is how to keep members actively engaged,” Lampo said. “We should create a mentor program to ensure everyone feels comfortable in PRSSA.” As far as their personal experiences, the officers thought it was an enriching experience. They each thought it would benefit them in their future careers. “A lot of the professionals were not afraid to tell you the reality of their industry, which is good to know that they’re not sugarcoating things,” Wyjadka said. “I got a good sense of how many people we’re competing for jobs with,” she said.

“They are intent on making every conversation and every form of behavior in the world known to them,” said Edward Snowden, reported by Infowars. Snowden is a 30-year-old exiled American who is currently living in Russia under political asylum. He is a former employee of the CIA and the National Security Agency contractor who is known around the world for leaking classified information about surveillance systems from the governments of Israel, Britain and the United States.

Many are asking if heavy spying on the American public would have helped to avoid the recent shooting at LAX.

“We do not provide any government, including the U.S. government, with access to our systems,” Drummond said, as reported by Russia Today. Yahoo! has also said it does not allow the government to look at their data. Gen. Keith Alexander, director of the NSA, said Yahoo! and Google were not tapped with his knowledge. People all over the world have mixed opinions of whether Snowden is a hero or a traitor. On the one hand, many see him as a patriot for telling the people that the United States government may be deceiving them and possibly violating the Constitution. On the other hand, he was a government worker who released top-secret information, possibly creating a national security risk. A person’s opinion on this matter can offer some insight to whether he or she thinks the government is trustworthy or needs to be watched. After the shooting at the Los Angeles International

to what otherwise would be terrifying bloodshed? In the case of the LAX shooting there was a supposed “disturbing” text message found by authorities after the incident, reported by the Chicago Tribune. If such a message was picked up by the proper agency before the event, then perhaps the shooter may never have had a chance. As in most cases, though, this speculation is just that, speculation. It is hard to say if such a personal invasion of privacy, which is only debatably legal at best, could even stop terrorist attacks. From another perspective, how can a government serve to protect the people if its own citizens distribute its classified information? Naturally, it is time that shall tell if Snowden is a hero of the people or a traitor of the government. Perhaps he will be both.

SU students fundraise for trip to Vietnam theslateonline.com/section/news

Mary Grace Keller Asst. News Editor

Since their first trip in 2002, United Campus Ministries (UCM) has helped construct three schools, three houses and one clinic in the rural villages in the provinces of Ben Tre, Kien Giang and the city of Can Tho in south Vietnam. UCM will be leading a group of volunteers from Dec. 21 to Jan. 7 this winter to help construct two additional classrooms to a preexisting primary school outside of Ben Tre. There are 338 children living in the village who are of elementary school age. The first few years of schooling are critical for Vietnamese children in this area because they cannot be sure that they will have the opportunity to continue on to a higher level of education. Five Shippensburg University alumni, six students and one campus minister have been fundraising their way to $55,000 in order to continue

Ann Schwartz, a 2005 graduate from SU was unable to join the service trip to Vietnam when she was a student and now joins the party as an alumnus. “It’s an awesome experience and I’m excited because our group is a mix of alumni and students,” Schwartz said.

Her daughter is ad-

One of the greatest rewards for Bye and the volunteers from SU are the relationships they build with new friends. Between now and December the group traveling to Vietnam needs to raise approximately $7,000. Donations are welcomed and tax deductible. UCM will be having a silent auction in the near future to help contribute to the trip. In addition to the labor that SU students provide in construction, members of the community and high school students send school supplies and health kits with the UCM volunteers to Vietnam. Any student can be a part of the service trip. “Enable students to become world citizens, appreciate the diversity of God’s creation and to change themselves and their world,” Bye said to explain the goal of the journey.

Early birds flock to Twitter IPO Michael Uehlein Staff Columnist

The 140-character-limited social media website Twitter is expected to have its initial public offering early this month. The company will use the ticker symbol “TWTR” on the New York Stock Exchange, issuing 70 million shares, at a price between $23-$25 per share. Without a doubt, this will be the highest anticipated initial public offering (IPO) for the entire month, and maybe even the entire year for Wall Street. Twitter began in 2006. Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, Biz Stone and Noah Glass; the creators, are hoping to gross more than $1 billion in this public offering. It is hard to argue against Twitter reaching this goal because of the tremendous growth of the 7-year-old company. Twitter has generated more than 350 billion tweets, amassing more than 230 million global monthly active users (MAUs) and doubling revenues sequentially, year over year. Intuitively, the firm still has plenty of room to grow according to Twitter’s prospectus. The majority of the San Francisco headquartered company’s online users are international, specifically 77 percent of the users are from outside of the United States. Although international users make up more than one-third of the users, only 26 percent of the revenue for Twitter is generated inter-

nationally. Promoted tweets and accounts are where the majority of the microblog service’s revenue is derived from, according to CEO Dick Costolo. The problem with international advertising partners is that they are not seeing

as high of margins on advertising products as seen with partners from the United States. Twitter believes that with the company getting ever more popular and with the proliferation of mobile device use, it can continue to grow. Additionally, what intrigues investors is the way consumers of the social media are accessing their product. A substantial 76 percent of the global monthly active users access Twitter using their mobile devices. The future of technology is moving away from computers and moving toward smartphones and tablets, which is evidenced by declining sales for desktop computers and laptops throughout the world. According to Twitter there will be more than three billion smartphone device users next year. During last year alone, 71 percent of Twitter’s advertising reve-

nue came from mobile device advertisements. This quality has set Twitter apart from Facebook because of the latter’s failure to monetize its mobile platform; accumulating only 49 percent of the total advertising revenue from mobile. Despite expanding Twitter’s user base significantly and monetizing the mobile platform fairly well, the company remains profitable. Twitter lost $79.4 million as stated in its first public financial statement and it does not appear that the company will be profitable by the end of this year. This has not stopped investors from buying all of the shares before the IPO according to sources from Serna Saitto and Sarah Frier from Bloomberg. Regardless if this is true, Twitter has forever transformed the world; connecting celebrities, athletes, politicians, businesses, students and the rest of their users within a single medium. Will Twitter’s IPO be a success? It is up to investors to decide. Michael Uehlein is from SU’s Investment Management Program. IMP does not suggest that anyone should invest in Twitter without the proper individual research required when making an investment decision.

A citation was later filed charging him with underage drinking. PUBLIC DRUNKENNESS On Saturday, Oct. 26, at 8:03 p.m., Riley W. Bowen, 24, of Mansfield, Pa., was charged with public drunkenness by University Police. Bowen had been encountered earlier in the evening in the G-1 parking lot and was intoxicated at that time. Due to the fact that he was over legal drinking age and not causing any problems he was advised to return home and stay there for the rest of the evening. Later, Bowen called the University Police saying he was in the C-6 parking lot and could not find his vehicle that he had parked there while attending tailgating festivities at the football game. After a long and exhaustive search, Bowen’s vehicle was located in the parking lot at the Britton Court Apartments and Bowen was cited for public drunkenness. DISORDERLY CONDUCT On Saturday, Oct. 26, at 11:41 p.m., University Police officers were on patrol in the area of the steam plant off North Prince Street when they observed a female urinating in public. The officers stopped the female and found that she had no ID on her at that time. The female was detained and transported to the University Police station where she was identified as Kylee N. Bricker, 21, of Chambersburg, Pa. Bricker was cited for disorderly conduct and was then transported to a residence on Burd Street where she was released. UNDERAGE DRINKING / PUBLIC DRUNKENNESS On Sunday, Oct. 27, at 1:09 a.m., the University Police were dispatched to the second floor of Seavers Hall for a report of an intoxicated female student passed out in the hallway. Officers arrived and found the female in question lying on the floor. She was unconscious at that time and it took the officers several attempts to get her to respond. The female was identified as Kathleen M. Montoney, 18, of Seavers Hall. Montoney was found to be highly intoxicated and in need of possible medical attention. An ambulance was dispatched to the scene and Montoney was transported to the Chambersburg Hospital for further evaluation and treatment. Montoney was cited for underage drinking and public drunkenness. DISORDERLY CONDUCT On Sunday, Oct. 27, at 1:42 a.m., University Police officers were on duty at an event at the CUB when they were approached by a female victim reporting that an unknown male had punched her in the face as they were leaving the event. The victim was able to provide a description of the male in question and he was detained a short time later in the lobby of the building. The female victim was able to identify the male as the one who had struck her in the face. The male was identified as Cornelius J. Brown Jr., 19, of McLean Hall. Brown was charged with disorderly conduct. The female victim was examined on the scene by EMS personnel and it was determined that she did not require any further medical treatment. THEFT On Tuesday, Oct. 29, at 8:55 p.m., Kiem S. Legrant of Dover, Pa., came to the University Police department to report that his iPhone had been stolen. Legrant reported that he was at ShipRec playing basketball and had placed his belongings on the floor next to the court while the game was in progress. Legrant said he had last used his phone at 7:30 p.m., and that when he went to retrieve his belongings at 8:15 p.m. he found the phone had been stolen. The missing phone is an iPhone 4S in a dark blue case and is valued at approximately $400. The incident remains under investigation. THEFT On Friday, Nov. 1, at 3:45 p.m., Lindsey M. Wayland of West Chester, Pa., came to the University Police to report that her bicycle had been stolen from the bike rack in front of the CUB. Wayland reported that she had parked the bike and secured it to the bike rack on Thursday Oct. 31, at 11 a.m. When she returned to retrieve the bike at 3 p.m. on Nov. 1, she found that the bike was missing. The lock that she had used to secure the bike was still there and was undamaged. The missing bike is described as a Blue and Silver Trek mountain bike with a black seat and handlebars. The missing bike is valued at approximately $200. The incident remains under investigation.

Women’s roles in horror films Ana Guenther Opinion Editor

I would first like to start and say that I hate horror films. I am a baby when it comes to anything scary, I literally cannot deal with it. I have a few issues with horror flicks, one of them being that I cannot delineate the lines between reality and fiction. I will lie in bed at night after watching a scary movie and do nothing but think about the movie I just watched. My problem is that I over analyze the content. I know what happens in these movies is not real and all of it is make believe, but my over-active imagination just grabs me and replays the movie again inside my head, rendering me of sleep for at least a week. Another issue that I have with horror films is the way that women are portrayed in these movies. In an article written by WorldPress.com, women were described as the innocent damsels in distress in

horror films, while men tend to play the heros or the monsters. This has always been the case and is the case in other film genres. People have this preconceived notion that women could not play the monsters and that is not the case. “Horror films, and the slasher subgenre, are famous for portraying women as hypersexual damsels in distress who are usually murdered within the first five minutes as punishment for their indiscretions…” said Bellaonline.com blog writers. What really kills me (no pun intended) is that these films are targeted toward the male demographic who watch these movies for scantily dressed women. So at first, women are objectified as sex symbols for the entertainment of men in these slasher movies, thenthey are killed for entertainment. I am just confused. What is the point? There is no reason that a woman could not be the monster in a film. For example, in Stephen King’s “Carrie,” Carrie is depicted as a shy religious girl in the beginning.

She is completely innocent to the world around her and is controlled by her mother who is a religious fanatic. By the end of the movie Carrie is a full-blown monster who destroys most of her hometown. She is a blonde female character who is a great example of how women can play the monster. Another thing that I have noticed about Carrie as well is that she could be viewed as the protagonist and antagonist of the movie. Although her actions are frightening and definitely paint her as the villain, people feel somewhat sympathetic toward her. She was just a young girl who wanted to understand herself and gain freedom from her mother. Up until she becomes the villain of the movie or book, her peers are the ones who can be viewed as the villains, and they are the ones who release her anger. This is the 21st century and I just do not understand why women are still constantly subjected as the weaker characters in a lot of movies. It is something that needs to change, but I worry that it will not any time soon.

Traditional mischief night is not mean Cassandra Clarahut Asst. Opinion Editor

Mischief night, or the evening before Halloween, was a night while growing up that I was not allowed out to play. The bus ride to school the next morning often revealed toilet paper on trees, pumpkins smashed in the streets and the occasional “egged” car or house. The night before Halloween has always seemed so mysterious to me. It is the last time that spooks are any fun. Halloween night itself consists of candy and costumes more than the actual chill of a fear fest. Mischief night is shady, creepy and embodies the spirit of Halloween more than the over-commercialized and Americanized holiday it has come to be today. But, where did the tradition of tricks Photo courtesy of Google.com come from? Halloween and The film adaptation of Carrie, is a great example of how women can be frightening in horror movies. misbehavior were insepara-

ble hundreds of years ago, according to a Live Science article. “Causing mischief has been a part of the Halloween tradition since the very beginning,” the article noted, and it began when Great Britain’s Celts believed Halloween night was a time for spirits to bother with trickery. They placed food on their doorsteps to appease the wandering ghosts.This transformed in Great Britain into another type of holiday, but the Irish and Scottish kept the traditions that were later introduced in the U.S. These acts of mischief were usually done on Halloween night, until about the 20th century. Maybe this is why candy and costumes were popularized on Halloween night — to bribe otherwise troublemakers from causing a ruckus. So the night for naughtiness moved to Oct. 30, and it still is not widely popular or celebrated across the U.S. In an article from The Atlantic

Wire about mischief night I learned that mishcief night has more than one name. The holiday is very local to Michigan, New Jersey and Vermont. In regions like Vermont and Michigan, mischief night is referred to as devil’s night, or cabbage night. The night is generally classified as harmless and a nuisance at most, but in Detroit, Mich. in 1984, the mischief blazed more than it should have. According to Live Science, “More than 800 fires were set there on Devil's Night, leading to a serious crackdown and an Oct. 30 curfew for minors that persists to this day.” In 2008, the city had help from more than 30,000 volunteers who walked the streets in attempts to prevent any repeat incidents. Closer to home, the mischief stays relatively safe and fun. Plus, for one night of the year, is it not nice to be just a little naughty?

Milky Way is out of this world theslateonline.com/section/opinion

My favorite candy I am looking forward to eating during the Halloween weekend is a Milky Way. Oldtimecandy.com says it has rich chocolate, creamy caramel and smooth nougat. Chocolate is already addictive but with the creamy caramel all wrapped up perfectly into a candy bar makes it taste amazing. I am pretty sure I am not the only one who can agree that the Milky Way is a wonderful candy to snack on anytime. According to 247wallst.com, the story on America’s Favorite Halloween Candy. The Milky Way came in at No. 9 on the list. In the past year sales rose by 5 percent to $93.46 million. Sales of snack-sized Milky Way, typically popular around Halloween for trick-or-treaters, rose by more than 10 percent. Mars Inc. makes all brands of popular chocolate including my fa-

What happened to a good old horror film? Robyn Woodley

Multi Media Editor When I walk down an empty hallway at night, I do not think about the cheap thrills and special effects of modern movies. I think of the classics. Old horror movies did it well. They had groundbreaking techniques as well as creative plots, music, set design and scripts. Dead teenager films can be frightening, but not when they are a copy of slashers such as “Friday the 13th”, “Halloween” and “Psycho,” without using their own creativity and character development. Cry Wolf is an example of a poorly done modern slasher movie. It is basically full of spoiled, bored teenagers with humor that only appeals to superficial high school students. They add a twist, but it does not make the orange-masked killer and stereotypically adolescent dialogue any less lame. In the remake of “The Hills Have Eyes,” the special effects dig at your senses, but it does not instill the horrific mindset like the original. The dirty, crude rawness of the original “The Hills Have Eyes”

gives the bad guys in the story a human element that special effects take away. To me, the mutant people in the original are people who were put on the backburner of society, which happens all the time. Now, that is scary and real. This year’s supernatural movie, “The Conjuring,” involved a nice family in a house with a creepy basement being haunted. Does the

story sound familiar? That is because it is so overdone. “The film's relentlessly lame expository dialogue and tedious parade of jump scares are overwhelming in the worst way possible,” Simon Abrams, movie critic said. “The Conjuring” had a few heart beating and hand-clenching moments, but nothing memorable and nothing that stimulated me intellectually.

Photo taken by Robyn Woodley

It is just an instant satisfaction amusement park ride. The original “Psycho,” beholder of the master of all shower scenes, is in black and white and lacks a large amount of gore. There is only a little bit of blood that runs down the drain. It is the plot, the shock of having a seemingly main character die early, the camera angles and symbolic imagery that makes this so power-

ful. My favorite old horror movie, “A Bucket of Blood,” does not have your average killer. He is a moronic artist with little ability and lots of jealousy over the social lives of talented artists. He accidentally kills his landlord’s cat and hides it by molding the body in clay. The exquisite detail gets him all of the attention he desires. Once he begins molding human bodies, however, it is a radical change from sweet, if a little slow, lonely artist to an unusual brand of killer. Despite the name, there is little blood and special effects, but it is loaded with creativity and themes to think about afterward. When an artsy and truly horrific horror movie can make as big a profit as a quick, dead-teenager film, it is understandable why the horror genre has gone down the drain. Critics have said that horror is the least respected genre of film, and that does not need to be the case. We can get back to the original quality that made horror films so great. The next time a respectable horror movie is in theaters, I will be right up front enjoying every minute of it.

Following the money in Chambersburg’s mayoral race

Jessica Miller Guest Writer

What is at stake in Chambersburg’s mayor race? Well, I recommend taking a visit to the Franklin County Commissioner’s Office and looking at both candidates campaign finance reports. According to the reports the current mayor Democrat Pete Lagiovane ,has spent $836.47 of his own

money campaigning for mayor. The Republican, Darren Brown, running against him has spent $4,700 of his own money. In addition to that, his committee has raised $6,163.01 for his campaign. This means that the Republicans are spending $10,863.01 on the mayoral campaign in Chambersburg this fall. Spending this amount of money on a small town mayoral campaign seems outra-

geous to me. This election is being bought. I think the mayor seat is a very important position in the community but is it really worth outspending the opposing candidate by $10,000? What special interests in Chambersburg want a Republican mayor so much that it is worth $10,000? This town needs to know that the mayor’s race is being bought by special interests.

Your opinion matters.

Friday night trivia event challenges students theslateonline.com/section/shiplife

Michael Shipman Staff Writer

Some students like to relax and do nothing when the weekend hits. Others prefer to work their brains even more by answering trivia questions. On Friday afternoon, Shippensburg students gathered in teams of two to three and tested their knowledge at the “BRAINSTORM! Honor Student Organization’s Trivia Bowl.” The event took place from 2:30 to 4:30 p.m. in the Ceddia Union Building’s multi-purpose room. It was a chance for students to just sit back, relax and ponder some challenging trivia questions on topics that ranged from scientific

all the way to pop culture. Admission for each person was $2, and all proceeds went to the Wolf Sanctuary in Lititz, Pa. There were 100 questions asked over a period of 10 rounds, and the team with the most points at the end of the tournament won. Junior mathematics major Grant Innesst was in charge of the event. “I had done something like this and thought this would be a good idea,” he said. Students enjoyed partaking in the event as well. Freshman Aaron Jeffrys thought it was a “good break for Friday,” Freshman biology major Tara Kennedy thought the game was for a “great cause.” Photo by Michael Shipman Students had the opportunity to participate in the BRAINSTORM!

Club Spotlight: Foreign Film Club Caitlin Sunderland Staff Writer

The Foreign Film Club is a leisurely club on Shippensburg’s campus that strives to expose students to different cultures and promote human understanding. At each showing, students have the chance to experience rare or highly acclaimed movies from a selected country in an informal setting. Following the film, students are encouraged to hold a discussion. Many of the times these discussions include how the film relates to students’ current classes or they use it as a foundation to further their own research on the topic. All of the films are shown on Mondays in Dauphin Room 051 at 6:30. On Nov. 18, the club will be showing a Japanese movie followed by a Swedish film on Nov. 25. The Foreign Film Club will be showing a Brazillian film titled “City of God,” which is Photo courtesy of Foreign Film Club open to the general public on Dec. 2. Students had the chance to experience rare movies from a selected country. They then are encouraged to discuss the movie.

President Chris Piper founded the club in the fall of 2010 with the help of several other students. Piper feels that joining the Foreign Film Club is a great way to network and improve on marketing, planning and even public speaking. “I have really enjoyed working with faculty to plan our bigger events. Most of all, I love the feedback we get after the films are over. I’ve seen a lot of students either be emotionally moved or have their curiosity piqued by a film the club has shown,”Piper said. The club is currently looking for new members from all majors to help choose and plan future events. Anyone interested in getting involved with the club may attend any film showing as a potential member and can email cp8956@ship.edu to get on the mailing list. Everyone is also encouraged to follow the Foreign Film Club on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/SUforeignfilmclub.

DJ workshop drops the beat with SU students Stephanie Pryor Staff Writer

Shippensburg University (SU) students learned how to break, loop and scratch at Icon Djs’ music technology workshop this past Friday. The late-night workshop, held in the CUB Red Zone, gave students an opportunity to learn the techniques of disk jockeying as well as a brief overview of its history. “A DJ is a person who manipulates recorded media,” said said Dave Mays, a professional DJ who goes by the alias “Amaze.” Mays provided students with a lesson in the history of DJing, beginning with its roots in New York City. He explained that disk jockeying came with the rise of disco in the 1970s and has continual-

ly evolved since then. Mays also gave students an overview of disk jockeying technology, explaining the difference between a classic turntable and the newer, more technologically advanced MIDI controller. He also talked about Serato DJ, a computer program that changed the game of disk jockeying and brought about the MIDI controller. Mays showed students how to select songs—his choices were “Booty Man” by Tim Wilson and “Blurred Lines” by Robin Thicke—and blend them using Serato DJ and the MIDI controller. Students were invited to get hands-on experience with the turntable and MIDI controller. They learned how to scratch the records and loop songs, as well as how to use filters and mix the songs with samples. Mays also took

questions from the students and gave everyone a chance to use the equipment. “I like when people have a good time,” Mays said. “A good DJ can hone in on people’s emotions and make them forget about what’s going on outside.” Mays teaches music technology workshops at colleges, camps and a variety of other organizations. He has been disc jockeying since he was in high school and is an integral part of the Icon Djs’ team. Mays gained fame as an MTV party DJ, travelling to spring break destinations like Cancun and the Bahamas. He has also toured with several celebrity musicians, including Kanye West, Flo-Rida and Wiz Khalifa.

Asst. Ship Life Editor Sophomore Anna Burnhisel is a communication/journalism major at Shippensburg University. When it comes to dressing for classes, Burnhisel likes to dress nicely but stay comfortable at the same time. “I try to dress nice for class, but I don’t want to look like I’m going to a prom,” Burnhisel said. “I like to be classy, but comfortable.” As the fall season begins, she prefers to wear colorful sweaters instead of coats to stay warm. Her favorite color to wear is purple. She believes there are several popular colors being worn this season.

“A lot of people seem to be wearing burgundy, different shades of brown, pastel pink, and gold jewelry seem to be more popular in the fall,” Burnhisel said. She prefers to only wear gold in the fall and wears more silver for the rest of the year. Burnhisel enjoys wearing several rings and earrings. Boots are her go-to shoes to wear and she will occasionally wear moccasins when it is a “yoga pants day.” When it gets cold enough outside to bundle up, she likes to wear sweatshirts or her favorite leather jacket. “I have this old, leather biker jacket that I like to wear constantly,” Burnhisel said. “I love it.” It normally only takes

Burnhisel an hour to get herself dressed and ready every day. “I usually have my clothes picked out the night before because it takes me forever to decide what to wear,” Burnhisel. To finish her outfit, she likes to curl her hair or do other styles as well. “I like to do the milk maid braid, where you put your hair into pig tails, braid them, and then flip both sides up to pin towards the top of your head,” said Burnhisel. She encourages everyone to be creative with their own styles and try new things. Fall is the time to layer different clothing and have fun with what you wear.

Student Help Desk offers technical support Jungyoon Rim Guest Writer

On campus today, it’s hard to find anyone without a laptop. But not everyone is capable of fixing his or her computer that they use on daily basis. Most people turn to a wellknown tech-support group such as “Geek Squad” from Best Buy. But did you know that Shippensburg University has the help desk that functions as its “Geek Squad” right on campus. The helpdesk is a part of the Technical Support Center at Shippensburg University where all students, faculty, and staff can stop by to receive support for their technical issues. “We provide technical support to all students across campus for any of their electronic devices or technical questions. We specifically help with e-mail configuration and setup, software

installation; including Microsoft Office and university-provided Sophos Antivirus software, system cleanup and virus removal, as well as some basic hardware diagnostics and data backup,” said Isaac Lopp, the technical support center manager. “We provide technical support to the faculty and staff across campus as well, supporting smart carts, on-site pc troubleshooting and repair, as well as new system deploys and setups.” The helpdesk assists students and staff on campus and has become a vital part of the daily university operation. The helpdesk was not as significant as it is now when it started in the basement of McLean Hall. The audience they helped was also limited to the students living on campus. “The department, at the time, was known as ResNet and handled between 50 and 100 tickets per semester” said Lopp.

“With the proliferation of technical devices on campus, it became necessary to expand our support offerings on campus to all students.” Lopp confirmed the growth of the helpdesk with the increase of the tickets solved. “With the increase in support offerings and hours of operation, we are now handling roughly 1,000 tickets per year.” As the ResNet operations expended and the number of student techs increased, the basement of McLean became too secluded and small for the operations. The department was then relocated into MCT computer lab where it operated until this summer. With the recent move to the library, the helpdesk seeks to interact with the students further and extend its services even further. According to Lopp, in the future, the helpdesk is “looking at the ways people contact us to make it easier and quicker to find answers and

get resolutions to common questions.” Lopp also pointed out the areas that he wants to work on since the move to the library. “The current setup is still new to everyone involved in the help desk operations. Things have been working very well thus far and our turnaround time has been at an all-time high for both faculty tickets and student tickets already this semester,” said Lopp. We are currently looking at how we are utilizing our new space, and what changes could be made to help improve our service offerings to campus,” he added. The helpdesk on our campus has a fantastic group of employees to address many of your technical support needs. The services provided by the helpdesk are all offered free of charge, so why not use their services whenever there’s an issue with your machine?

D1 A&E Jim Belushi brings his comedy gold to Luhrs

November 5, 2013 slateae@gmail.com

theslateonline.com/section/ae

EMILY SHOPE

Staff Writer Famed actor Jim Belushi and the Chicago Board of Comedy spent Saturday making Shippensburg laugh. A harmonica echoed through the theater as the lights dimmed. Then Jim Belushi came walking through the aisles of the house before breaking into The Blues Brothers’ song “Sweet Home Chicago.” Jim Belushi, 59, from Chicago, Ill., charmed the audience from the beginning of the show. Belushi engaged the audience on multiple levels and created bonds with members of the crowd. Both Belushi and the members of The Chicago Board of Comedy are alumni of The Second

City, a formerly small cabaret theater that is now churning out hilarious actors, writers and directors. The Second City is the largest training center for acting and improvisation in the country. Belushi got his start at The Second City theater and soon moved on to Saturday Night Live. He starred in numerous productions for both the silver screen and television until October 2001 when his sitcom “According to Jim” aired on ABC. The Chicago Board of Comedy consists of four members, all of whom have been a part of critically-acclaimed television series and movies. The entertainers made the audience laugh with friendly jokes about local businesses, the town of Shippensburg and even SU’s mascot.

Belushi was overwhelmed by the H. Ric Luhrs Performing Arts Center and mentioned multiple times how incredibly lucky the people of both the university and the town were to have the facility. There were multiple games played by the cast that kept the audience laughing all the way to the end, such as when the performers gave Shippensburg its very own musical, “Mike Ditka Vs. the Hurricane.” The night of improvisational comedy and audience participation left those in attendance smiling and laughing all the way to the lobby, where Jim Belushi and Larry Joe Campbell talked with guests, signed autographs and posed for photos.

Earth, Wind & Fire stop at Luhrs on new CD tour CHRISTOPHER RITTER Staff Writer

If there were any power surges Wednesday night, it was probably from the Earth, Wind & Fire concert at Shippensburg’s H. Ric Luhrs Performing Arts Center. The energy coming from the stage was nearly physical and the audience was sending it right back. Longevity rewards the deserving and Earth, Wind & Fire, or EWF, is certainly deserving. Maurice White founded the band in 1969 with his brother, bassist Verdine White. Since then, EWF has been

inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, won four American Music Awards, six Grammys, and has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. They are currently touring in support of their new CD “Now, Then and Forever.” Wednesday’s show featured three long-term members — Verdine White; lead singer Philip Bailey; and singer/percussionist Ralph Johnson. Bailey’s son, Philip Bailey Jr., sang and played percussion. Maurice writes and manages the band, but has not toured since 1995, due in part to developing Parkinson’s disease. The band performed nearly

20 songs, including the hits the crowd wanted. “Sing a Song,” “Shining Star,” “Serpentine Fire,” “Hearts on Fire,” “After the Love has Gone,” “Fantasy,” “September” and “Boogie Down” — each one a classic, and each one drawing ever more cheering and applause. The band also served up several songs from its new album and a cover of “Betcha By Golly Wow” originally by the Stylistics. The show featured more than just much-loved songs. The light show added to the inspiring music, and the musicians added synchronized dance-crew steps along with energetic theatrics that brought the crowd to its feet

time and time again. Seven of the band members sang. With vocalists, two guitarists, Verdine on bass, three horn players, a drummer, a keyboard player and four percussionists, the stage was certainly ﬁlled. It was obvious the band loves what it does and loves its fans. They talked to the crowd, encouraged them to clap and sing along, and even shook hands with members of the crowd during the performance. EWF plays a mix of musical styles, but the combination is greater than the sum of its parts. R&B, jazz, funk, soul, pop, rock — put it in a blender, add talent, great moves and a desire to inspire, and you will end up with EWF. Other musicians are fans as well. Phil Collins used the EWF horn section, known as the Phenix Horns on several Genesis songs as well as some of his solo hits. Iconic jazz trumpeter Miles Davis reportedly claimed that EWF was his favorite band, as has Quincy Jones and Dionne Warwick. Prince even wrote “Super Hero” for them.

Kauffman Gallery features Penn State student’s art theslateonline.com/section/ae

Cassandera Friedenberger Staff Writer

On Oct. 30 a new exhibit opened in the Kauffman Gallery in Huber Art Center. The exhibit features artwork by 18 Penn State University master of fine arts students. The exhibit is called “Delivering the Goods.” For the exhibit, the students had to follow the restrictions of the “If it fits, it ships” slogan and guidelines of the U.S. Postal Service. The students said that they enjoyed the challenge because it required them to think about how the package size limits and the 70-pound weight limit would impact the pieces they could prepare for the exhibit.  Students Evan West, Steven Reid, Sarah Swist, Kevin Mercer and art department

chairperson Graeme Sullivan came to the opening to speak about the artwork in the show.  West’s piece is an installation titled “Rain Out.” The term rain out means either the cancellation of a sports event or a nuclear fall out. West’s piece has symbols that represent both definitions of the terms and brings them together.  Reid’s work is titled “Split Decision.” This piece includes models of logs abstracted as wall decals, wood, gold and acrylic mirror. Steven said that he tried to show that “making fire wood is more than the act of taking a tree.”  Swist submitted a few pieces in the exhibit. All of her artwork involved the use of insects. Her first piece is titled “1918.” It was created by the removal of butterflies

from specimen boxes that dated back to 1918. Her second exhibit is titled “Hard to Swallow.” For this piece she took gelatin capsules and put flies in them. “ People have no problem taking medicine, but what if people see what’s inside it?” Swist said. Mercer’s submission is a sculptural piece that is titled “Repulsion Vessel.” This piece includes a vessel that he made which, along with other hardware and paint, includes his own wisdom teeth. Mercer usually works two-dimensionally but said that he has recently become more involved with three-dimensional art work.  The other artwork by students who were unable to attend the event includes mixed media. All of the artwork is very intriguing and the idea behind this gallery exhibition is unique. Personally seeing

the installation of the pieces left me with the impression that the artists put great thought into the entire exhibition.  This exhibit will be on display until Nov. 15.

A new student exhibit by Tara Myers will open on Nov. 4 in the Brindle Gallery in Huber Art Center. Myers said that in her artwork she seeks to “bring awareness of product consumption and the

symbolism that can be found within these everyday products.” Her artwork in this exhibit focuses on phallicism and the application process of lipstick. This exhibit will be on display until Nov. 14.

The Thought Lot hosts Halloween show Zac Davis

Copy Editor The Thought Lot played host to four bands last Saturday night: Old Souls, Shin High Foxes, His Dream of Lions and Next to Nothing. Old Souls, a laid-back duo playing without the rest of their band, started the night off with a mellow sound that had the crowd of about 60 swaying with the music. Shin High Foxes, an indie rock band, came next and really got the crowd going. They started off with a song called “Hope” then moved on

to play “How Can We Make Love Stay” and “What We Desire.” They rounded out their set with “Northeast Binge,” which saw a majority of the people in the crowd getting off their couches and coming up to the stage to listen. “I just try to help people feel the music the way that I do,” said drummer AJ Dawson after the show. His Dream of Lions, formerly known as Archie, was up next, bringing its five members and great presence to the stage. The alternative rock band kept the crowd into the show throughout the first half of its set with some up-

beat songs and mixed it up at the end with a slower song, featuring keyboard player, Colby Witko and vocalist Seth Coggeshall. Next To Nothing, a five-member pop-punk band from Smithsburg, Md., rounded out the night with guest vocalist Benji Glunt from the band Farewell Friend. Collan Sheaffer, member of Shin High Foxes and Memento Music Promotions said that not only will this show help fund future shows put on by his promotion company, but also it benefited The Thought Lot as well as each band.

The 2013 World Series just came to an end, what are your thoughts on the outcome?

THE HOT CORNER

RYAN TREXLER Sports Editor AND

CALE AHEARN Staff Writer

The 2013 World Series was a wacky one to say the least. One walk off and a controversial call added a lot of excitement to a rather dull sport. Cale and Ryan give their opinions on how the World Series played out.

Cale:

In the Oct. 21 edition of the Hot Corner, I predicted that the St. Louis Cardinals were going to win the World Series. Obviously, I was very wrong. In fact, this series was never that close at all. The Red Sox handily took Game 1 behind a stellar performance from pitcher Jon Lester. The next night, the Cardinals tied the series at one game apiece, riding pitcher Michael Wacha to the victory. However, this is where the series took a strange turn. The Cardinals took a 2–1 series lead when they

won Game 3 on a walk-off obstruction call. This is something I can say that I’ve never seen in my life and I’m shocked that the umpires would end a World Series game that way. Although, the umpires made the correct call, nobody really wants to see a game end like that. Maybe that’s what the Red Sox needed to light a fire underneath them. Boston came back to take the next three games and the World Series victory, largely because of the efforts of World Series MVP David Ortiz. It was the first time in 95 years that Boston clinched the World Series Championship at home. Overall, this series was very entertaining, despite how unusual it was. In tribute to those affected by the Boston marathon bombing, the Red Sox celebrated their championship by placing the World Series trophy on the finish line of The Boston Marathon, and placed a jersey on top of it that read “Boston Strong.” It was a very classy move by the players, and I hope it helped heal some emotional

Women’s basketball excited for the start of a new season Ryan Trexler Sports Editor

“We are very excited about getting this season started. We had a very good preseason and we have worked extremely hard out on the track and in the weight room and out on the basketball court” Those are the words of Shippensburg University women’s head basketball coach Kristy Trn. Despite the loss of five key seniors Trn is still sure the Raiders can make some noise in a tough PSAC division. SU finished the 2012–13 year after falling 62–42 against Millersville University in the first round of the PSAC playoffs. Despite the loss, the Raiders finished 20–8 on the year, recording the thirdmost wins in the PSAC East. The Raiders are a young team this year after graduating five key seniors last year. Among those key seniors were Dana and Shawna Wert. The Wert twins were a dominant force on the court for SU last season. Shawna Wert finished the 2012–13

season averaging 11 points per game, fourth best on the Raider squad. Dana Wert also had a stellar senior year for the Raiders, averaging 11.7 points per game, third on SU’s team. “It is very hard to replace two players like Dana and Shawna. Dana’s ability at the point position to be able to lead everyone on and off the court is a huge loss to us,” Trn said. The Raiders do have players who can fill the void. Key newcomers for SU include Alexia Servello and Lauren Gold. Servello, a freshman from Altoona, Pa. attended Altoona High School. Servello averaged six points and two steals along with five assists per game in her senior year. Gold is also a freshman who played high school basketball at Abington Friends School. Gold averaged 17.4 points per game and 3.4 steals in her senior season. Key returnees for the Raiders include senior Sarah Strybuc and sophomore Stephanie Knauer. Strybuc averaged 13.7 points per game throughout last year, leading the Raider squad. Strybuc also shot

a solid .826 from the freethrow line. Knauer was the Raiders freshman sensation last season, averaging 12.9 points and 9.1 rebounds a game. Knauer was named All PSAC East Freshman of the year to go along with her seven PSAC East Freshman of the week awards. SU has only two seniors this year, Strybuc and Lauren Barnett, both of whom will need to be the leaders of this Raider team. “I am learning from them and they are learning from me. At times it is really nerve-racking but it’s also really exciting,” Strybuc said. In the preseason PSAC polls, the Raiders were ranked third in the PSAC East behind Millersville University and Bloomsburg University, respectively. The Raiders also received two first-place votes. SU will need underclassmen to contribute if it wants to make noise in the PSAC East division and return to the PSAC playoffs. SU’s season opener is set to take place against Shepherd University on Nov. 11 inside Heiges Field House. Tipoff is scheduled for 6 p.m.

Stephanie Knauer made a huge impact for the Raiders during her freshman season last year.

Sophomore Caitlyn Deeter will need to step up as needed due to SU being a young team.

Sarah Strybuc is one of two Raider seniors on the roster for the 2013-14 season.

Women’s soccer makes history OLIVIA WEBER Guest Writer
