‘Bras for the Cause’ to raise money for breast cancer awareness, research

By KATIE MEST

Staff Writer K.A.Mest@iup.edu

The Indiana Business and Professional Women’s Club (BPW) will be displaying embellished bras around the Indiana community for a worthy cause starting this week.

Individuals, groups and businesses in the area had the chance to decorate and donate bras up until last Friday.

Normally, BPW collects about 25 to 30 bras to raise awareness for

Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

The bras will be spread out amongst three locations around Indiana: the Indiana Regional Medical Center (IRMC) cafeteria Monday through Wednesday; in front of Stapleton Library Thursday and Friday; and the Indiana Mall next Friday through Sunday.

The community can go to the separate locations to vote on their favorite bra by monetary donation.

The bra at each location that raises the most money is declared the winner of that location.

Local individuals, businesses and organizations can also donate gift baskets that will be paired with the bras at a Oct. 20 gala at the Elks Lodge.

Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the entrance fee is $10, which includes a paddle for the quarter auction and a meal.

Kim Wick, a member of BPW, encourages students to participate in the Bras for the Cause event, which has now been going on for eight years. “[Students] can attend the gala

and bid on baskets there,” Wick said.

“They can also vote for their favorite bra if they don’t want to attend the gala.”

The Zeta Tau Alpha sorority will assist BPW by setting up the stand at the library and helping with the gala. ZTA’s national philanthropy is breast cancer awareness.

The money from the event goes toward Birdie’s Closet and the BPW scholarship fund for an Indiana County high school senior to go to college or technical school.

The scholarship is $500.

Birdie’s Closet is a boutique at the IRMC. It is run entirely off donations and provides resources for women battling cancer.

It also allows patients to explore fashion and even meet with professional fitters for arm sleeves, bras and prosthetics, according to the IRMC website.

Last year, Birdie’s Closet received $7,161.98 from the Bras for the Cause event. This year, the goal is $8,500.

‘Accidentally elected’ speaker to discuss importance of voting

By GINA BIANUCCI Staff Writer

G.M.Bianucci@iup.edu

Have you ever accidentally been elected into a political office?

Katherine Sikma has. She became the Inspector General of Elections for Ward 22, District 3 in Pittsburgh when she won the election with just one vote.

Coalition for Christian Outreach will be hosting Sikma’s seminar at 7:30 p.m. Wednesday in the Humanities and Social Sciences Building Room B11.

Sikma will be speaking more about her story, witnessing the electoral process firsthand and her faithfulness in politics.

conversation about the election and inspire our IUP students to participate in the upcoming races,” said Ivan Moore, associate director of campus ministry for CCO. “Right now it seems like there are a lot of mixed feelings about this particular election.

“Many feel like there is no good candidate and are overwhelmed with finding credible information

to help them decide.”

Moore explained that the purpose of this event is to better understand the presidential candidates.

The election coming up in November will be the first major election in which many students will be able to vote.

Moore said that their hope is that students will leave the event

feeling equipped to vote and understand the global significance this right.

The event will be led by a group of IUP student leaders in CCO. These leaders chose to host Sikma before the voter registration deadline so students will still have the chance to register and vote.

Sikma will spend time telling her story before students break into

some small groups for discussion.

According to Moore, the event also plans to explain the logistics of registering to vote, finding your polling place, applying for an absentee ballot and researching local and presidential nominees.

CCO will provide computers and aid in registering to vote and checking polling places.

Free food will also be available.

IUP student creates nonprofit to help children

By STEPHANIE BACHMAN Staff Writer S.L.Bachman2@iup.edu

Aaron Seidel (senior, geoscience/applied mathematics) has collected more than 100,000 books to send to school kids in Nigeria.

Now Seidel faces a new challenge: raising money to cover the costs of shipping.

Seidel was inspired to help Nigeria after learning about the actions of Boko Haram, an Islamic extremist group within northeastern Nigeria.

The militant group had taken over part of the country and was threatening not just the country and people’s lives, but also their way of life.

This included killing hundreds of school teachers and capturing 276 school girls in April 2014.

He first learned about the situation last spring in Dr. Stacey Patrick’s honor’s core class.

For Seidel, the best way to help was collecting any types of books, ranging from advanced mathematics textbooks to children’s stories, to send to those in need within Nigeria.

At first, he was mostly getting surplus textbooks from a few professors. However, Seidel said once word spread, the collection really

took off.

In fact, he partnered with St. Thomas More University Parish to take all unsold books from their annual book sale held earlier this month.

Other donations came from various people such as community members and professors. This helped Seidel collect the thousands of books to send to Nigeria.

Seidel explained why his book collection is important.

“On the [IUP] campus, we have freedom of thought and freedom of speech,” Seidel said. “We have the library we can rely on, but we take that for granted.

“What makes us uniquely human is the ability to grow off previous knowledge. If there is a section of the population that doesn’t have access to knowledge, their future is bleak.

“There is a direct correlation between education and quality of life.

If you look at every country who’s prospered, a lot of that has to do with the investment in education.”

His collection is much larger at this point, and shipping the books has created an even greater challenge.

He currently plans to ship the books to Georgia Wednesday.

In order to get the books to Nigeria, Seidel founded his own

nonprofit organization, Books for Hope.

Recently, Seidel found a group in Nigeria who can take his books, but he still faces the challenge of getting them there. In order to do so, he needs to raise about $10,000. The cost of shipping has been offset, at least in part, by Indiana-based McNaughton Moving & Storage and the non-profit organization Books for Africa.

McNaughton Moving & Storage is currently storing the books for free and donating its time and trucks. They will ship the books to a warehouse in Georgia where they will be prepared for shipping.

All of the money raised will go to shipping them to Georgia. In fact, Seidel said that Books for Hope is different from other nonprofits because it “has no employees, and everything that is raised is going into Books for Hope.”

Faculty prepare to rally ahead of potential strike

By ALEXANDRIA MANSFIELD News Editor A.M.Mansfield@iup.edu

As the clock ticks away before the job action – or strike – deadline set by the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF), students and faculty members are growing anxious in regard to the future of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE).

Since negotiations began in late 2014, very little progress has been made. The main points of contention between APSCUF and the State System concern reducing permanent faculty, increasing the number of graduate students teaching classes, cutting up to 20 percent of certain faculty members’ pay and healthcare, stripping funding for faculty scholarship and professional development and granting university presidents unilateral authority to transfer faculty members to other departments.

The State System, specifically Chancellor Frank Brogan, partially

(Facebook) During the last negotiation cycle, APSCUF faculty members rallied outside in Harrisburg to disturb the Board of Governors meeting in January 2013. The protests yielded results by preventing a strike.

justified these proposals in March’s State System budget-appropriations hearing by saying that faculty only worked 17 hours per week and were therefore “overpaid” for their work.

Elaine Little, nursing and allied health professor, is one of many IUP professors who will be most affected by the State System’s pro-

posed contract due to her position at the university.

“I started teaching nursing at IUP in the fall of 2008 as a temporary, full-time faculty member,” Little said.

“I love IUP, my job, my students and my peers. I was excited to be converted to a full-time, tenuretrack instructor in the fall 2015.”

Little is in the process of obtaining her doctorate in nursing from IUP with an anticipated graduation date of May 2017.

“I was very disheartened to hear the S.S. say that I and my peers only work 17 hours a week for an average salary of $100,000,” Little said.

“After eight years at IUP, I make $46,000 and, on average, put in about 50 or more hours a week between teaching, office hours, class preparation, maintenance of my D2L’s and ProPacket, creating quizzes and exams, grading and providing feedback for coursework, advising about 40 students, answering emails, committee work, scholarship and volunteer service to the department, college and university.”

In addition to feeling offended by the statements of Brogan and the State System, Little listed the following proposals of the State System as unjust: expecting temporary faculty to teach 20 percent more for less pay; expecting new faculty to accept positions with no retirement benefits; saying that a lab, summer or winter course is worth less pay; expecting faculty to take a very small wage increase with dramatic increase in expenditures for health insurance; thinking that graduate-level students can teach most of the classes with little or no experience; spending more than 450 days under an expired, bullying faculty by putting out erroneous facts and statistics; and expecting students and their

families to accept a lower quality of education.

“I care about my students and the value of their higher education,” Little said. “All of the expectations from the S.S. will lessen my students’ quality of education, decrease faculty job satisfaction and should not be acceptable to anyone.”

Faculty members have been working under an expired contract since June 2015. In an effort to gain more support for progress in negotiations, APSCUF members will be rallying at 8 a.m. Thursday at the Dixon University Center in Harrisburg. Students are encouraged to join with them in a show of solidarity.

The next round of negotiations is slated for Oct. 14 to 16. If faculty were to take job action, the strike would begin Oct. 19. APSCUF encourages faculty, students and parents to contact state legislators and demand fair funding for state schools and contracts for faculty and coaches.

Dr. Michele Papakie, journalism and public relations chairwoman and APSCUF secretary, and Dr. Heide Witthöft, associate professor of German, will be hosting two informational sessions for students who are interested in learning more about the contract negotiations and potential strike.

The first session will be held at 8 p.m. Tuesday in Johnson Hall Room 247, and the second will be at 8 p.m. Wednesday in Humanities and Social Sciences Room B10.

CNN contributors to debate on campus Thursday

By NICOLETTE QUERRY Staff Writer N.M.Querry@iup.edu

The Student Activity Committee (STATIC) is hosting PointCounterpoint: A Debate with CNN Contributors Dan Pfeiffer and S.E. Cupp Thursday in Fisher Auditorium.

Pfeiffer and Cupp will discuss issues and concerns revolving around the upcoming presidential election in November. “This should prove to be an academically meaningful event for all members of the IUP campus community,” according to STATIC’s website.

“STATIC wanted to provide an informative political event for the student body in preparation for the upcoming presidential election,” said Zach Clark, director of student activities and assessment.

“Throughout the end of the spring 2016 semester and the summer, the STATIC Executive Board brainstormed a variety of ideas and settled on the Point-Counterpoint event given its bipartisan appeal and the vast experience of the speakers.”

Cupp will offer her viewpoint as a conservative columnist and commentator. In contrast, Pfeiffer will offer a counterpoint from the perspective of a liberal commentator and former senior adviser to President Barack Obama. Pfeiffer worked on the campaign of Al Gore’s unsuccessful 2000 presidential bid. He was also communications director for the majority of Obama’s first term and for the first two years of his second term. He was then promoted to senior adviser, according to CNN. Cupp has authored “Losing Our Religion: The Liberal Media’s Attack on Christianity,” co-authored “Why You’re Wrong About the Right” and is currently working on a third book, according to CNN. “Aside from their experience

(Facebook) Dan Pfeiffer and S.E. Cupp

and their qualifications as seasoned political minds of modern American media, they bring nuance to the 2016 presidential campaign discussions, as each has been critical of their individual party’s chosen candidate,” Clark said.

Pfeiffer and Cupp are two of CNN’s most popular contributors in the upcoming election, according to STATIC’s website. “STATIC distributed information to every faculty member on campus, and many have already indicated that they will offer students extra credit,” Clark said.

“Vouchers will be distributed at the end of the debate to every person in attendance, although any extra credit is at the discretion of the individual faculty member.”

The doors for the event open at 6 p.m. and the show will begin at 7 p.m. The event is free, but tickets are required for entry. “If you have any sort of interest in the future direction of the United States (politically, socially, economically, judicially, legislatively), the topics discussed at this event will be important to you,” Clark said.

“Plus, this event will help you make a better-informed decision on Election Day.”

Banned Books Week celebrates diversity

By SETH WOOLCOCK Staff Writer S.M.Woolcock@iup.edu

Diversity was the underlining theme last week as the IUP English department and Libraries joined the national celebration of Banned Books Week once again. The goal of this week’s events is the same as it has been for the past 30 some years: to bring the common occurrence of challenged or banned books into the eye of the public.

The events began Monday evening, when the new emerging organization of English graduate students, the Pop Culture Methodologies, hosted the Six O’Clock Series. The group posed the question: “What is pop culture and why do diverse pop culture voices get challenged?”

Mark DiMauro (graduate, English) spoke first and analyzed the role of video games within pop culture. DiMauro discussed how “video games just are not for kids” and informed the audience that games such as “Grand Theft Auto,” “EA Sports: MMA” and

even “Mario Party 8” have been banned in other countries.

Meghan Hurley (graduate, English) elaborated on the topic of speculative fiction. Speculative fiction is fiction that does not take place in our world, such as “Harry Potter” and “Game of Thrones.”

Hurley examined the “Star Trek” franchise and explained its controversial role in promoting diversity.

Michaela O’Toole (graduate, English) gave a presentation entitled “JFK to Trump.” O’Toole revealed to the audience “MacBird,” a satire that combined the theme of Shakespeare’s “Macbeth” and the JFK assassination into a single performance. The performance led to programs such as “The Colbert Report” and “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.”

The final presenter of the night,

Nick Katsiadas (graduate, English) introduced Bat Woman as the super hero of the LGBT community.

Katsiadas broke through stereotypes of women through an open discussion that let audience members share their opinions.

Events continued Wednesday afternoon in the Humanities and Social Sciences Building Atrium, where the fifth annual Read-Out was held. Students and faculty joined together for readings of banned books.

The Atrium was surrounded by bright yellow caution tape and more than 20 readers. The hosts for the read-out were doctoral candidates Wes McMasters (graduate, English) and Hurley.

Readers included Dr. Gian Pagnucci of the English department, who gave an impassioned reading of the iconic “I volunteer as tribute” scene from The Hunger Games. Dr. Yaw Asamoah, the dean of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences, read “Things Fall Apart” and Dr. Michael Driscoll, IUP’s president, made an appearance to read “The Disappearing Spoon.”

IUP Libraries to host Open Access Week It is an opportunity to take action in making openness the default for research.

By GINA BIANUCCI Staff Writer

G.M.Bianucci@iup.edu

The Six O’Clock Series, in coordination with IUP Libraries, is holding its ninth annual Open Access Week.

Open Access is free, immediate online access to the results of scholarly research, and the right to use and reuse those results as needed.

This system allows colleagues to share information they have learned and to inspire wider participation in establishing a new norm in scholarship and research.

“It is an opportunity to take action in making openness the default for research, to turn scientific discoveries into better lives,” said Dr. Theresa McDevitt, government publications/outreach librarian.

Open Access has the potential to maximize research investments, increase the exposure and use of published research, facilitate the

ability to conduct research across available literature and enhance the overall advancement of scholarship.

Research funding agencies, academic institutions, researchers and scientists, teachers, students and members of the general public are

supporting a move toward Open Access in increasing numbers every year.

This year’s Open Access theme is “Open in Action.”

In keeping with this theme, a panel of IUP faculty and administrators discussed what Open Access is, why they are committed to it, what steps researchers should to share their discoveries and why it matters Monday night.

The panel included McDevitt as the moderator and panelists Dr. Hilliary Creely, assistant dean of research; Dr. Crystal Machado, professional studies in education pro-

fessor; Dr. R. Scott Moore, history professor; Matthew Vetter, English professor; Rhonda Yeager, art and art education professor; and Sara Parme, scholarly communications librarian.

According to Parme, students who are doing research projects have the capacity to create new knowledge and new intellectual property.

Parme said students have the right to this property and should be free to share it with others.

Parme explained that supporting Open Access’s movement aids the efforts to increase awareness concerning how people can make their intellectual property more accessible.

“The Knowledge Repository at IUP is our new institutional repository and one of the ways the library supports open access.

“Institutional Repositories bring together all of a university’s research under one umbrella, with an aim to preserve and provide access to that research,” Parme said.

Flu shots now available

By NICOLETTE QUERRY Staff Writer N.M.Querry@iup.edu

The IUP Center for Health and Well-Being (CHWB) will hold a Student Flu Shot Clinic from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesday in Suites on Maple East Room G-60. The clinic will not require an appointment and is free for IUP students, said Melissa Dick, nurse director at the health service.

“A flu vaccine can keep you from getting the flu, make the flu less severe if you do get it and keep you from spreading flu to your family and other people,” said The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in its flu fact sheet. The CHWB has purchased the trivalent flu vaccine in the past, but this year they ordered 1,000 quadrivalent flu shots, Dick said. The CHWB has given half of the 1,000 flu shots to students already, Dick said. Nursing students

were required to receive their shots by Saturday.

Dick discourages students from getting the shot, especially “if you have a fever, if you have had an allergic reaction to the flu shot in the past or if you are allergic to eggs.”

Dick pointed out that the CDC recommends you receive the flu shot sometime before Halloween or Thanksgiving.

Along with everyday flu shot walk-ins, the CHWB will host a health fair from 1 to 4 p.m. Oct. 13 in the Hadley Union Building Atrium, Dick said.

Flu shots will also be administered Oct. 18 in the library, Dick said. In a poll on the IUP class of 2017 Facebook page, students weighed in on whether or not they will get the flu shot.

There were 25 students who voted they would get or have already gotten the flu shot. There were 29 students who have decided not to get the flu shot this year.

Pennsylvania becomes a key player in presidential election

By CATHLEEN DECKER Los Angeles Times TNS

The lights cut out suddenly in the bare-bones storefront in northeast Philadelphia that houses Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign office.

But it was prime calling time, so volunteers who spend hours each night contacting voters worked by the light of their cellphones, pleading for support in the dark.

The power failure last week, which affected several buildings, forced campaign officials to move their celebratory launch of Pennsylvania Latinos for Hillary into a used furniture store across the street.

Then, once there, community leaders who were expected to take part in a pep rally instead took turns excoriating a senior Clinton campaign official for what they saw as a lackluster commitment to the area.

In tones of dread, they demanded more ads, more mailers, more of anything that could help them help defeat Donald Trump.

In Philadelphia, the Democratic political pulse is thrumming with both resolute optimism and panicky fear.

After more than 20 years as reliably blue in presidential contests, Pennsylvania by dint of other

states’ moves is suddenly the Clinton linchpin, the place that could deny Donald Trump the presidency.

That puts heavily populated Philadelphia in the hot seat, perhaps the most important target for Clinton in what ranks now as her most important state.

Little more than five weeks from Election Day, the battle is on.

Ads for and against the candidates beam from televisions and blare from radios at all hours.

Groups funded by activists as diverse as the conservative Koch brothers and liberal Tom Steyer are dialing phones and knocking on doors by the hundreds of thousands.

Barely a week has gone by without a visit from the candidates or,

Thousands demonstrate against abortion ban in Poland

By NATALIE SKRZYPCZAK DPA, Berlin TNS

Tens of thousands of Polish women dressed in black protested in Warsaw despite heavy rains against a threatened ban on abortion Monday.

The so-called “black protest” drew at least 22,000 people to the Polish capital, said city spokesman Bartosz Milczarczyk, while other protests and marches took place in Wroclaw, Krakow, Poznan and Szczecin.

The nationwide action called by women’s initiatives using social media is targeting a controversial parliamentary bill dubbed Stop Abortion, which was approved in its first reading at the end of September. In addition to a total ban on abortions, the bill would envision criminal penalties for women and their doctors.

Polish laws on abortions, among the strictest in Europe, allow abortions only in case of rape, when the life of the mother is in danger, or in the case of severe disability of the child.

in Clinton’s case, her high-powered bank of surrogates. Clinton will be back in the Philadelphia area Tuesday; her running mate, Tim Kaine, hits town one day later.

Here, a simple trip to a Philadelphia hair salon means running into actress Alfre Woodard, who on Friday implored a dozen or so women backed up against the styling sinks to rally their families and friends in support of Clinton.

“If you guys in Philadelphia turn up and turn out in record numbers, that will keep Pennsylvania blue,” Woodard said after delivering impassioned praise of the Democratic nominee.

“And if Pennsylvania goes blue, then you will determine the fate of this country.

“That’s the power you have in your hands right now.”

That might sound exaggerated.

It’s not.

In the 2012 race, Obama racked up a margin of almost half a million votes in Philadelphia.

That – and less substantial victories in a few surrounding counties

and in Pittsburgh – accounted for his eventual statewide margin of more than 300,000 over Republican nominee Mitt Romney.

Public polls taken before last week’s debate showed Clinton’s once-firm lead here collapsing.

She is presumed to have made back some ground because of her successful debate performance – as she did in other battleground states – but no new polls have been published to clarify her standing.

In Philadelphia, a Clinton victory centers on two things: generating enthusiasm among the voters who powered Obama’s two victories here, especially the African Americans who make up more than half the city’s vote, as well as among young voters.

The candidates have adopted different approaches in Pennsylvania.

Clinton and her fellow Democrats have more than 50 offices in the state, more than half a dozen in Philadelphia alone.

Her campaign is organized to the precinct, neighborhood and

street levels.

According to campaign officials, Clinton volunteers since Aug. 1 have made 2.5 million phone calls and spent 87,675 hours contacting voters and registering non-voters.

Democrats instead fear the power of Americans for Prosperity, the effort funded by the Koch brothers and other conservative donors.

That group is not even targeting the presidential race – working instead to re-elect Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey – but some Democrats believe it could expand the ranks of Trump voters.

The group has focused on 660,000 voters who it believes are inclined to vote against Democratic Senate candidate Katie McGinty, a Clinton ally.

AFP has made 1.2 million phone calls and knocked on 92,000 doors since June, said Beth Anne Mumford, AFP’s state director.

“We are there to talk about the Senate race and that’s where we keep our conversations to,” she said.

tions behind what certainly will be a blend of printed and electronic pages must be again the mediums-of-choice for that group, whether they be thought-leaders in society, officeholders in government or voters.”

News is being consumed now more than ever before.

With so many different digital platforms available to readers, a news outlet’s print version is hardly the most popular anymore. Journalism is not a dying field – it’s becoming more and more diverse and complex every day. Whether you’re reading a news story in the newspaper or on your phone, someone still wrote it. At The Penn, at least three people then read and edited it. Someone took the photo that went with it, and someone shot and edited the video that you watched after you read it.

And National Newspaper Week isn’t just for newspapers.

It’s for any outlet that provides citizens with hard-hitting, informative and objective news and keeps its government officials in check. That’s a goal that all news organizations share and one that will never change.

Here at The Penn, we strive to fully embrace the digital age by using social media to engage our readers. Since its establishment in 1924, The Penn has adapted to changes that may have been unthinkable to its founders, such as the internet. And we don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.

National Newspaper Week signals time to reflect

This week is the 76th annual National Newspaper Week, giving us the perfect opportunity to reflect on how the news industry has changed, and how it will also always remain the same.

This year’s theme, Way to Know, aims “to applaud and underscore newspaper media’s role as the leading provider of news in print, online or in palms via mobile devices,” according to the National Newspaper Week’s website.

The Pittsburgh Tribune-Review announced Wednesday that it will stop producing print versions of the Pittsburgh paper beginning Nov. 30, causing the company to lay off more than 100 workers. Trib Total Media will, however, continue to print the Greensburg and Tarentum editions. Is it possible that other newspapers will soon join the Trib in the movement to completely digitalizing news? Definitely.

The digital age has completely revolutionized the way people consume news, thus changing the way newspapers produce news.

Letter the EDITOR Editor LETTER to TO THE Editor, The Penn: I commend your editorial board for the Sept. 30 editorial “Let’s strike up a conversation: Appreciate your education – your professors are fighting for it.”

Conversation is, indeed, important to reach consensus on controversial issues, such as those that divide professors and coaches, on one hand, and administrators in Harrisburg on the other. But the most important stakeholders in this discussion are students.

As your editorial correctly concludes, at the top of the list of talking points by members of APSCUF –- the union of faculty members and coaches at IUP and 13 other publicly funded universities in Pennsylvania –- is “the quality of what my students receive in their education,” as one professor is quoted as writing recently.

Your editorial also correctly concludes that it is important for students to remember that their edu-

Opinion

cation is important.

But they also can take a more active role.

Some students are participating in an Oct. 6 rally in Harrisburg at the headquarters of the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education, where the system’s Board of Governors are meeting. Others are composing messages to Chancellor Frank Brogan, the head of PASSHE. These examples of student engagement are part of the mission of higher ed. And they are among the most effective ways to avert a strike and to ensure continued quality education.

The IUP Symphony Orchestra is scheduled to perform its first concert at 8 p.m. Thursday in Gorell Recital Hall.

IUP Symphony Orchestra to hold first concert

By TYLER SCHEFFLER Contributing Writer T.R.Scheffler@iup.edu

The IUP Symphony Orchestra will be conducting its first concert of the season at 8 p.m. Thursday in Gorell Recital Hall.

Leading the ensemble will be Dr. Stanley Chepaitis, associate professor in the IUP department of music. The concert will center around “Peter and the Wolf,” a narrative

composition piece telling the story of a young boy who must use his wits to avoid a dangerous, hungry wolf. Accompanying “Peter and the Wolf” will be pieces from other artists such as Mozart and Beethoven.

Some solo pieces will be performed during the concert, including a flute solo for “Peter and the Wolf” performed by Natalie Smith (senior, music education). Smith has been in the IUP orchestra for two semesters and has enjoyed the opportunity to practice

with other musically inclined students.

“The most rewarding experience I have had playing in orchestra was playing a solo concerto in the first concert last spring,” Smith said. “It was an honor to be featured.”

Also performing solos will be Matthew Emanuelson (senior, music education), who will be playing a bassoon solo in the “Peter and the Wolf” piece. Like Smith, Emanuelson feels confident for the

upcoming concert and is excited to show the progress he and his peers have made since August.

“I am feeling pretty good about it,” Emanuelson said. “I think that we are playing the best we have in a few semesters, and I am really proud of the players we have, especially in the woodwind section.”

This will be Emanuelson’s final semester performing as a student, as he will move on to student teaching next semester.

Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra concert canceled due to its strike

By JASON DAQUELENTE Culture Editor J.E.Daquelente@iup.edu

The Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra (PSO) concert featuring guest artist Pinchas Zukerman, which was scheduled to occur this Saturday in Fisher Auditorium, has been canceled.

All PSO performances that had been scheduled up to Oct. 27 have been canceled, according to a Monday Twitter post.

The musicians of the Pittsburgh Symphony Orchestra started striking Friday in response to management’s decision to make pay cuts.

PSO management has proposed to cut musicians’ salaries by 15 percent, but raising salaries by 2 percent the following year and 3 percent the year after. PSO musicians would also experience a freeze on their pension plans

and “transition to a defined contribution plan,” according to a Friday Pittsburgh Post–Gazette article.

PSO musicians say that consequences of cuts would cause many members to leave, the orchestra to be unable to find musicians of the same level, the PSO reputation to be ruined and current figures used by management to outline deficits are inaccurate and misleading.

According to a press release by the Musicians of the PSO, along with PSO management’s FAQ session regarding negotiations, management claimed the cuts must be made if the PSO is to survive.

Management also said there was a $1.5 million deficit on a $32 million annual budget last year, and now the orchestra is over $11 million in debt. Therefore, $10.4 million must be taken from musicians’ pension plans for the next five years to

According to a Monday press release from the Lively Arts, patrons who previously purchased tickets for this event will be contacted

immediately so money can be refunded as quickly as possible.

Any questions regarding refunds should be directed to the lively arts at lively-arts@iup.edu or by calling (724) 357-2787.

Also, anyone who purchased

Students will still be able to graduate regardless of strike

By NICOLETTE QUERRY Staff Writer N.M.Querry@iup.edu

The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) has come up with an idea to allow seniors to graduate this May if this semester gets cancelled.

There has been no serious progress made between PASSHE and the Association of Pennsylvania State College of University Faculties (APSCUF), said PASSHE commencement director Jim Thornbush in a press conference Sunday morning.

“PASSHE has developed the most ingenious idea for May graduates to graduate on time if the strike results in a cancelation of the semester,” Thornbush said.

If the current semester is cancelled, the spring semester will offer students the ability to

take up to 40 credits at a time.

The university will not charge students for the number of credits that they had paid for the previous semester. The State System will not have to offer students a tuition refund with this plan.

“It will be a great opportunity for students to finally experience the 40-hour work week before they graduate,” Thornbush said.

“We can also expect there will be less disruptive behavior with the addition of more classes to the students’ schedules.”

To incorporate the time necessary for extra sections and classes, most classes would begin at 6 a.m. and end at 11:35 p.m., Thornbush said.

One designated room in each academic building will be a quiet room for students to study or sleep during the day.

“With broken up sleep

sessions, students will require less sleep altogether, it is a proven fact,” Thornbush said.

“I think this is the best idea I have ever heard,” said Dr. Garrett Hubble. “Students don’t work very hard as it is, so this will force them to work harder and take their education seriously.”

Frank Brogan, chancellor of PASSHE, who said professors work 12 to 17 hours a week, is satisfied with the addition of work to justify the compensation they will undoubtedly receive in the new contract.

“Remember, this is currently only an option if the current semester gets cancelled,” Thornbush said. “But we feel it is such a great idea, we will revisit implementing this in the future and requiring students to take a minimum of 200 credits to graduate.”

New trailer released for ‘Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales’

(YouTube)

“Dead Men Tell No Tales” will bring back the iconic Captain Jack Sparrow.

By TORI STROMBERG Staff Writer T.J.Stromberg@iup.edu

Fans of the treasured saga “Pirates of the Caribbean” were in for a surprise Sunday with a new poster and teaser trailer debut for the fifth installment of the series.

“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” began trending on Facebook during the day on Sunday, and fans were told to tune in to “Fear the Walking Dead” on AMC to catch the first glimpse of the highly anticipated film.

In the trailer, a ship approached a fiery scene while battles were taking place in an unpromising cave. A deadly looking pirate made his way down the stairs of

the ship as he utilized his sword to pick up a “Wanted” sign with an image of Captain Jack Sparrow (Johnny Depp). A young man, looking frightened, was asked to relay a message to Jack Sparrow from Captain Salazar (Javier Bardem).

“Find Sparrow for me and relay a message from Captain Salazar, and tell him death will come straight for him,” he said.

According to Collider.com, the synopsis of “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” is as follows: “Thrust into an all-new adventure, a down-on-his-luck Captain Jack Sparrow finds the winds of ill-fortune blowing even more strongly when deadly ghost pirates led by his old nemesis, the terrifying Captain Salazar (Bardem), escape from the Devil’s Triangle, determined to kill every pirate at sea, including him. Captain Jack’s only hope of survival lies in seeking out the legendary Trident of Poseidon, a powerful artifact that bestows upon its possessor total control over the seas.”

Recognizable names are returning to sail the seven seas, such as Orlando Bloom (William Turner), Geoffrey Rush (Captain Barbossa) and Kevin McNally (Mr. Gibbs).

“Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” is set to be released May 26.

‘Miss Peregrine’s’ school gets top grades at box office

By TRE ‘VELL ANDERSON Los Angeles Times TNS

"Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children," from 20th Century Fox and Chernin Entertainment, bested fellow new release Lionsgate's "Deepwater Horizon" and expelled last week's victor, "The Magnificent Seven."

"Miss Peregrine" brought in an estimated $28.5 million in the U.S. and Canada, meeting analyst expectations of $25 million to $30 million in its opening week. It pulled in $36.5 million internationally.

"I'm very excited about it. We're thrilled," said Chris Aronson, the studio's domestic distribution chief. "That, coupled with the international opening, we're really happy."

Adapted from the popular fantasy novel by Ransom Riggs, about an orphanage for fantastically gifted kids, the film is directed by Tim Burton. Starring Eva Green, Samuel Jackson and Judi Dench, among others, it cost $110 million to make.

Such a strong debut for the film is a positive omen for Burton, whose darkly quirky films haven't enjoyed much commercial success since his 2010 3-D megahit, "Alice in Wonderland." Additionally, with such high interest and parallels to films such as the "X-Men" and "Harry Potter" series, there is a chance that the picture will prove popular enough to start a Hollywood franchise.

"Audiences have come to see this movie because it represents what consumers are looking for in movies: originality and creativity," Aronson said.

Theatergoers (59 percent female, 51 percent under 25 years old) and critics appear mixed about the film, however. Given a B-plus CinemaScore, only about 64 percent of Rotten Tomatoes critics favored the picture.

"Deepwater Horizon" took the

“Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children” was released Friday.

second spot with $20.6 million in ticket sales. The Mark Wahlberg action movie about the BP oil-spill disaster of 2010 slightly surpassed analyst projections of $16 million to $20 million domestically.

"Deepwater" is directed by Peter Berg, whose last effort, "Lone Survivor" (also starring Wahlberg), was a major heartland hit in 2013. Lorenzo di Bonaventura of "Transformers" fame produced the "Deepwater" film for Lionsgate's Summit Entertainment, with cofinancing from Participant Media.

It cost more than $100 million to make, after factoring in tax credits.

Focusing on the members of the crew on the ill-fated rig in the Gulf of Mexico, the film was a major gamble for the companies behind it, at a time when the big funding typically goes to superhero movies and other franchise material rather than original ideas based on recent news events.

But generally positive reviews (88 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, and an A-minus CinemaScore), heroic themes and Wahlberg's star power are likely to bolster longterm prospects for the picture.

"The Magnificent Seven" came in third in its second week, with $15.7 million for a domestic

gross to date of $61.6 million.

Sony and MGM's western remake starring Denzel Washington and Chris Pratt, which bowed to $35 million last week, experienced a 55 percent drop when only a 50 percent decrease was projected by analysts.

In fourth was "Storks," from Warner Bros., with $13.8 million in its second week. The animated flick has pulled in an estimated $38.8 million since its premiere.

Rounding out this week's top five is Warner Bros.' "Sully," which

added another $8.4 million to its gross. Four weeks in, the film has pulled in $105.4 million.

As for another new release, Relativity Studios' "Masterminds" landed the sixth spot with $6.6 million.

Analysts accurately projected less than $10 million.

Such a performance is a modest start for a comedy with two high-profile stars such as Zach Galifianakis and Kristen Wiig. The film follows the two on a heist.

While audiences gave "Masterminds" a B-minus

CinemaScore, critics were less favorable. Only 38 percent of them on Rotten Tomatoes rated it positively.

In limited release, Bleecker Street's "Denial" opened in five theaters to $102,101. That's a per screen average of $20,420.

The film, starring Rachel Weisz, is about a professor being sued by a source in her book about the Holocaust.

Also, Walt Disney's "Queen of Katwe" expanded to more theaters, adding $2.6 million to its run. Starring Lupita Nyong'o and David Oyelowo, the picture has grossed a total of $3 million in two weeks.

Next weekend opening in theaters is Universal's "The Girl on the Train," Fox Searchlight's "The Birth of a Nation" and Lionsgate's "Middle School: The Worst Years of My Life."

to be released Nov. 11

By RANDY LEWIS Los Angeles Times TNS

A 36-CD box set featuring every known recording of Bob Dylan’s historic 1966 concert tour will be released Nov. 11, providing a companion piece to last year’s ambitious set documenting his studio recordings from 1965 and 1966.

“Bob Dylan: The 1966 Live Recordings” will feature songs taken from soundboard tapes, mobile recording trucks and audience tapes, according to an announcement Tuesday from Columbia Records and Legacy Recordings.

“While doing the archival research for ‘The Cutting Edge 1965-1966: The Bootleg Series Vol. 12,’ last year’s box set of Dylan’s mid-’60s studio sessions, we were continually struck by how great his 1966 live recordings really are,” Legacy Recordings President Adam

Block said in a statement.

“The intensity of Bob’s live performances and his fantastic delivery of these songs in concert add another insightful component in understanding and appreciating the musical revolution Bob Dylan ignited some 50 years ago.”

On that tour, which included stops in the U.S., the U.K., Europe and Australia, Dylan was accompanied by four of the musicians who went on to be known as the Band: guitarist Robbie Robertson,

pianist Richard Manuel, organist Garth Hudson and singer– bassist Rick Danko, as well as drummer Mickey Jones and, at two of the U.S. shows, drummer Sandy Konikoff.

The tapes capture not only Dylan’s performances of his songs but also the responses of fans, who were hostile at times after he had famously “gone electric” in 1965, the former darling of folk music circles antagonizing folk purists by incorporating the electrified power of rock music.

IUP’s second half heroics lead to victory in first home game of season

(Ishaaq Muhammad The Penn) IUP entered the field to a thunderous ovation from the home crowd for the first time in 2016.

By JOSE VILLENEUVE and SEAN FRITZ the-penn@iup.edu

Anyone who was at George P. Miller Stadium on Saturday was probably glad they went when IUP played host for their first home game of the season against Seton Hill University.

The first quarter was filled with some backand-forth FOOTBALL action, with Seton Hill jumping out to a 3-0 lead answered by a Samir Bullock (freshman, management) touchdown.

Answering on their own was Seton Hill, who had a nine-play 80yard drive capped off by a 22-yard touchdown pass to retake the lead.

Following that was Bullock’s second touchdown of the game which gave IUP a 14-10 lead heading into the second quarter.

In the second quarter, Drew Harris (redshirt junior, sociology) scampered into the end zone for a touchdown, pushing IUP’s lead to two possessions.

The next stretch in the second quarter was all Seton Hill as they would score 23 unanswered points leaving IUP feeling a bit worried.

Near the end of the first half, with the Hawks down 33-21, quarterback Lenny Williams (redshirt sophomore, accounting) scooted in for a nine yard run to cut the deficit to a one possession heading into the half.

Whatever coach Curt Cignetti preached at halftime must have had an impact because IUP got back to the form they have been in for the first three games of the season.

“The leaders made us realize we were better than the way we were playing, we just wanted it more,” veteran leader and linebacker Kevin Clarke (redshirt senior, kinesiology) said following the game.

In the second half, the Griffins marched down on their first possession, scoring on a 7 play drive

to extend the lead.

Defensive end CJ Odegbo (junior, marketing), blocked the try leading to the ensuing return by Jay Watkins (reshirt junior, kinesiology) who quickly scooped the ball before it went out of bounds and proceeded to return it.

As he was about to get hit, Watkins pitched the ball to Takhi Turner (junior, kinesiology) who carried it a quarter length of the field before he himself pitched to Steve Franco (senior, marketing), who raced to the end zone for a two points. The play caused a roar from the home crowd at Miller Stadium.

“That was one of the craziest plays I’ve ever been a part of, I didn’t expect it to turn out that way, but it just shows how bad we wanted it,” Clarke said It was a huge momentum swing that led the Hawks on a scoring outburst started by a Ryan Stewart (senior, accounting) field goal near the end of the third quarter, cutting Seton Hill’s lead to six.

At the 10:28 mark of the 4th quarter Bullock, who set another career high with 162 yards rushing,

punched in the tying touchdown for his third score of the game.

Stewart split the uprights and IUP had recaptured the lead 40-39. IUP would add another score and PAT late in the fourth on Williams’ 37 yard touchdown pass to wideout Chris Wuestner (graduate student, business) capped by another Stewart PAT extending IUP’s lead to 4739.

With all the momentum on the side of the Crimson Hawks, the drama was far from over, as the Griffins were driving late in the fourth in need of a touchdown and 2 point conversion to tie. The Griffins comeback attempt fell short when Clarke made a clutch interception to give the Hawks the ball back with just 33 seconds left, keeping the undefeated season alive.

“It felt great knowing I was able to secure a win for our team,” Clarke said after the game.

IUP will look to keep the offensive outburst going in their next matchup, on the road against PSAC rival California University of Pennsylvania at 7 p.m. Saturday.

That was one of the craziest plays I’ve ever been a part of... it just shows how bad we wanted it.

IUP volleyball takes two big matchups against PSAC opponents ByJED JOHNSON Staff Writer

J.N.Johnson3@iup.edu

The IUP Crimson Hawks continued to win matches in the strong Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Southwest division, where IUP, California University of Pennsylvania and Seton Hill University are undefeated in conference play.

The CrimVOLLEYBALL son Hawks defeated West Chester University in a five-set match Friday evening, dropping the Golden Rams to 1-3 in conference play.

Despite losing the first set by five points, the Crimson Hawks won the second and third sets by 10 points each.

The Crimson Hawks had trouble in the fourth set, losing by a tally of 25-8, before winning the final set 19-17.

Coach Scott Pennewill said that the key to the rebound in the fifth set was making fewer errors.

“We made every error there is in the statistical category in that fourth set,” Pennewill said. “The fifth set started, and I’m pretty sure we had a kill on the first point, so it’s one of those things like ‘Ok, we’re now back on track.’”

The Golden Rams out-hit the Crimson Hawks, .156 to .126.

The Crimson Hawks were also out-killed, 55-52.

Natalie Cignetti (junior, natural sciences) recorded a season-high 21 kills, and Alexis Anderson (junior, marketing) had 16 kills on the night.

Anderson and Lily McWilliams (senior, nutrition and dietetics) each recorded four blocks in the contest.

The Crimson Hawks defeated Cheyney University on Saturday in three sets, coming out on top in nearly every statistical category.

IUP out-killed the Wolves 42-14,

and out-hit them .392 to -.033.

Sara Vaughn (freshman, international business) and Sami Brown (sophomore, undecided) led the Crimson Hawks in kills with nine and eight, respectively.

Kaitlyn Palmer (sophomore, biology, pre-med) led the team with four service aces.

In her first collegiate match, Madison Cross (freshman, education) led the Crimson Hawks in assets with 18.

Coach Pennewill said that Vaughn and Cross played extensively to get them playing opportunities.

“Both of them performed very well, and that’s the level of progress we’re looking for right now,” Pennewill said.

“I like using the analogy of the [New England] Patriots and Bill Belichick – it’s next man up. You never know when you’re going to get called on for whatever reason. The system has to be strong enough to prepare the athlete for whatever is going to come down the road.”

The scheduled game against Chestnut Hill College Saturday evening was cancelled because Chestnut Hill did not get the game approved. Pennewill found out about the cancellation September 26.

Pennewill said that that game would have been a big opportunity to play a team from the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference.

“Chestnut Hill seemed like a logical thing – it’s only 40 minutes up the road [from Cheyney],” Pennewill said.

At this point in the season, the Crimson Hawks have given up the second-least amount of kills in the PSAC. “I think the numbers are a little skewed because of the competition that we’re facing,” Pennewill said. “ [The opposition] aren’t offensive juggernauts yet – it’s different when you’re playing a team [that] can’t pass [or] control the ball, they’re not attacking the ball, so you don’t have to defend as

much. When the ball is attacked, we’re doing some nice things discipline-wise – not being out of position, being able to really make good reads – so that we’re at the point of attack.”

Next on the slate for the Crimson Hawks are two home games – one on Friday evening against Mercyhurst University and one on Saturday afternoon against Gannon University. Both of those games will be in the Memorial Field House.

“Mercyhurst is big,” Pennewill said. “Hitters are going to have to deal with bigger blockers – they’re going to have to be quicker [and] arm swings are going to have to be fast. On the other side of the ball, you’re going to have to be able to get a solid block and position, and then have the backcourt make good reads.”

Mercyhurst will certainly be a test that Pennewill’s team plans to attack head-on.

Soccer’s offensive struggles continue in shutout losses at Kutztown and East Stroudsburg

By EVAN MCCUE Staff Writer

E.M.McCue@iup.edu

The IUP Crimson Hawks set off on Friday afternoon to kick off a rather challenging duo of in-conference road games.

Friday’s game featured a matchup with a 6-2 Kutztown University Golden Bears team, ranked fourth in the Pennsylvania State AthSOCCER letic Conference (PSAC). IUP found themselves in a troublesome position early on in this one, as Kutztown capitalized upon their home field advantage and struck first with a goal in just the sixth minute of the game. The Crimson Hawks were fortunate to reach the half with only a 1-0 deficit after being out-shot 12-3.

Goalie Jessica Printz (senior, athletic training) came up big for the Hawks after surrendering the early goal, as she notched five first half saves. Defense continued to be

the theme throughout the remainder of the game, with neither team able to find the back of the net, leaving IUP with an agonizing 1-0 loss.

Kutztown dominated the stat sheet, out-shooting IUP 15-7 and attempting 13 corner kicks compared to IUP’s three.

This game set the Crimson Hawks back to 6-4 overall and 5-3

in the PSAC. This was a crucial game for IUP as they knew they would have their hands full on their second stop of the weekend. The team headed to East Stroudsburg University just a day later to take on the defending PSAC champion and No. 4-ranked team in the nation. The Warriors entered the weekend still without a loss in the conference and an overall record

(IUP Athletics)

of 8-1. Besides East Stroudsburg out shooting IUP 9-6, there were no advantages for either team in the first half with a score of 0-0 at the break.

However, something clicked for the Warriors offense in the second half and they began to pull away.

In the 70th minute, ESU watched the first goal of the game come off the foot of their sophomore for-

ward Alex Pickett.

About 10 minutes later in the 80th minute, they watched their second goal of the game come off the head of Pickett for her second of the game.

The Warriors ended up outshooting the Hawks 16-4 in the second half and had seven corner kick chances while IUP had none.

A bright spot for the Crimson Hawks included a career game for goalie Jessica Printz as she grabbed 12 saves, a new career high. With their third loss in four games, IUP is now 6-5 with a 5-4 record in the PSAC, leaving them in 6th place in the conference standings. When asked about the backto-back losses, coach Adel Heder said “The effort, the hard work, and the intensity are all there. To win games, we need one thing to score goals.” Coach Heder has a point, as IUP has been shutout in three of their last four games.

They will look to snap out of this offensive drought when they return home to take on 1-7 California University Wednesday.

Lezanic leads cross country team to 8th place finish

By JARROD BROWNE Lead Sports Writer

J.W.Browne@iup.edu

IUP traveled to Lehigh University in Bethlehem over the weekend to compete in the Paul Short Run. For the men’s team, it served to be the toughest competition of the year as they finished 36th out of 45 teams.

IUP was led by Austin Cooper (junior, CROSS geography and regional planning), who finished 30th out of 401 runCOUNTRY ners.

Although Cooper had a strong performance, IUP’s youth continued to be an issue for the Crimson Hawks, as five out of the next six runners for IUP are sophomores or younger.

Even after a 36th place finish from Justin Jones (freshman, health and human services), he believes that the team is still competing at a high level.

“Everyone worked hard,” Jones said.

Jones was also was happy with his personal effort.

“The course was great,” Jones said. “I actually ran one of the best races of my life.”

Jones’ effort allowed him to complete the 8-km course in a time of 26:44.

Although Jones was happy with his performance, he still understands that there is room for improvement and plans to learn from the more experienced runners such as Cooper, Dalton Trump (redshirt junior, marketing) and Greg Beaudette (senior, exercise science).

One of the areas Jones believes he can improve on is his race intelligence.

“In cross country, you have to be smater [than track],” Jones said.

Jones compared cross country to a game of chess, where track can viewed as a sprint.

With the leadership of IUP, Jones feels confident in the Crimson Hawks future despite this weekend’s results. “I think the team is heading in a great direction,” Jones said.

Although the men struggled as a whole this weekend, the women’s team was lucky enough to experience very strong results. The women brought back an eighth place finish out of 40 teams.

The Crimson Hawks were led

by Jenna Lezanic (senior, employment and labor relations), who earned her second-straight thirdplace finish. Lezanic completed the race with a time of 22:04, while finishing just 18 seconds behind the champion, Jamie Pacilio of Muhlenberg College.

Also ending the race with strong finishes for IUP was Makena Felts (junior, nursing), who finished in 20th place and a time of 23:13. Following Felts was Sam Christman (sophomore, undeclared business), who finished 49th with a time of 23:49 IUP will travel to Lake Erie College in Painesville, Ohio, Saturday to compete in the Storm Invitational.

IUP gets offensive spark, edges West Chester

By MATT STAUB Staff Writer

M.A.Staub@iup.edu

This past Saturday, IUP earned its first Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) win of the year with a 3-2 double overtime win against West Chester University of Pennsylvania.

The win moves IUP to 1-2 in the PSAC FIELD HOCKEY and 5-5 overall.

It was a backandforth game with West Chester striking first, just 1:13 into the game.

The Crimson Hawks would respond at the 31:47 mark when Madelyn Mullen (junior, marketing) scored from 11 yards out.

The two teams remained tied until West Chester took the 2-1 lead in the second

half. IUP tied the game again and forced an overtime period when Amber Bailey (senior, psychology) scored off an assist from Bryn Nelson (freshman, nursing).

IUP seemed to be in control heading into overtime, as they had already outshot West Chester 10-3 in the second half. West Chester came out firing in overtime, but goalie Alyssa Lerda (senior, pre-physical therapy) was able to come up with two big saves to keep themCrimson Hawks in the game and force a second overtime.

In that second overtime, the Crimson Hawks broke through and took the victory when Liz Gagliano (junior, nutrition) netted the gamewinner, her first goal of the season.

The goal came off of twostraight rebounds from the West Chester goalie until Gagliano was able to pound it home.

(IUP Athletics) Liz Gagliano notched the game-winner against West Chester in a double overtime battle.

“We didn't let up throughout the entire game and continued fighting into two over time periods,” Haley Fidler (senior, exercise science) said.

“Everyone was playing their hardest and really trying to get the ball into the net. It was a huge win for us, and it was really exciting.”

The Crimson Hawks will look to continue the offensive outburst when they take on Seton Hill Tuesday.

MLB playoff preview

By DENNIS CANIZ Contributing Writer D.M.Caniz@iup.edu

This article is an opinion piece.

It’s Oct. 4 and the road to October is officially over. Major League Baseball’s playoffs begin Tuesday, with the American League Wild Card game between the Toronto Blue Jays and the Baltimore Orioles.

The winner of this will go on to face the Texas Rangers in the American League Divisional Series (ALDS) in a five-game series.

In the other ALDS matchup, the Boston Red Sox will face the Cleveland Indians.

Both of these teams are hot right now, as it will truly be a matchup of pitching. Both ALDS series will start Thursday.

The five AL teams that made it to October are bringing a lot of talent to this postseason.

The Blue Jays are struggling with the bats, but their pitching is what has allowed them to secure the first wild card spot and finish only four games behind the American League East champion Red Sox. If the Blue Jays face the Rangers in the ALDS, it will be a rematch of last year’s ALDS, which was filled with drama – like when Blue Jays outfielder Jose Bautista smacked a go-ahead home run in the seventh inning of Game 5 to advance the Jays to the American League Championship Series. The Indians are flying under the radar, and they love it. The team that won the AL Central has been leading its division since June 4 with their hitting, pitching and great defense led by shortstop Francisco Lindor.

This team has what it takes to go deep into the playoffs if they can get past the red hot bats of the Red Sox. The National League Wild Card game between the New York Mets and San Francisco Giants will be

BASEBALL

played Wednesday in New York.

The winner of this game will go on to play the dominant Chicago Cubs in the National League Divisional Series (NLDS). The other NLDS matchup is between the Los Angeles Dodgers and the Washington Nationals. Both of these five NLDS series are scheduled to start Friday.

The NL Wild Card between the Mets and Giants is expected to be a good one, although the Mets have found themselves in a predicament.

With a team built on its pitching, they will be missing three of their five starting pitchers for the entirety of the postseason. They will be facing left-hander Madison Bumgarner, who is 4-0 at Citi Field with a 2.14 ERA in his postseason appearances. The only thing giving the Mets hope is that since the break, the Giants have had one of baseball’s worst records, going only 29-42. If the Mets can get past this hill, they will have the MLB’s leading Chicago Cubs waiting on the other side that has everything going right for them. The NLDS matchup between the Dodgers and Nationals is also expected to be a good battle.

The Dodgers, led by shortstop Corey Seager, who is a favorite for the NL rookie of the year, face off against the reigning NL MVP Bryce Harper, who won NL rookie of the a few years back and is a known superstar.

The Nationals have a record of choking in the playoffs, and with Harper playing with serious discomfort in his shoulder and neck, it might be a rough postseason for them.

But they are determined to get that monkey of their back. If the Dodgers are to beat the Nats, they will need left-handed ace Clayton Kershaw to step up and rid himself of the demons and conceptions of being a poor postseason pitcher.

With both teams having great pitching staffs and solid offense, every pitch matters and every atbat matters. The regular season has ended, but the postseason is just getting started. So strap in because there is nothing like October baseball.
