Students present at ninth State System inclusion summit By STEPHANIE BACHMAN Lead News Writer S.L.Bachman2@iup.edu

The ninth State System Summit on Inclusive Excellence and International Education was held Wednesday through Friday at IUP, and it included three IUP students who presented their original research. The theme for this year’s summit was “Rising to the Challenge: Making Inclusion Matter.” The summit consisted of breakout sessions, speakers and panels that were all themed around inclusion, education, advocacy and dialogue, especially on college campuses. Robert Matchett (graduate, sociology/special education), one of the panelists and IUP student presenters at the summit, said there are many purposes to holding such an event. “Goals [are to] encourage inclusive practices on campus through the use of concepts of Universal Design in classroom instruction and in campus activities and functions, eliminate negative stigmas

and stereotypes in relation to disability status that can be harmful to a student’s self-image and remove social barriers that prevent students from identifying as an individual with a disability so that they can receive accommodations and services that will aid them in their pursuit of a degree from a fouryear institution,” Matchett said in a Wednesday email. Dr. Freeman Hrabowski, president of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, was the keynote speaker Thursday. He is a consultant on science and math education with an emphasis on minority participation and performance, according to the IUP website. He also offered book signings while at IUP. In addition to the panels and breakout sessions, there will be a student poster forum at the summit. Each of the 14 state schools selected two or three students to present their research related to inclusion and diversity within education. The two posters from IUP were “Who are You @ IUP Campaign” by Cameron Craig (sophomore,

My hope is to someday have the opportunity to reach out to students at other colleges and universities.”

Craig said diversity and inclusion are very important to him and that he is very proud to be part of organizations at IUP, including the local chapter for NAACP and the organization Creating Higher Standards. Matchett’s research is focused on exploring the relationship between the visibility of a student’s disability and perceptions of faculty and staff. It considers stigmas around disability as well as the implicit biases of university employees who are the main group of

participants within the study. “I am researching this topic because negative labels that are applied to individuals with disabilities can have really bad consequences,” Matchett said. “When you get to college you no longer are covered by IDEA, and you have rights under ADA, but you have to advocate for yourself. “Understanding perceptions helps us become aware of implicit biases so that we can eliminate those and create a more inclusive environment.” Matchett said the next step for his research includes turning it into his master’s thesis. In addition to his poster, Matchett served as one of the panelists during the discussion led by Todd VanWieren, assistant director of Disability Support Services. The panel consists of former recipients of the Ray Coppler Disability Awareness Award, including Matchett, who won the award in 2015. Panelists discussed what they are doing now related to disability advocacy and what inclusion means to them.

Polls show Clinton with narrow edge five days before election By SAHIL KAPUR Bloomberg News TNS

Five days from the U.S. presidential election, polls released Thursday showed the race narrowing, with Democrat Hillary Clinton holding on to a slim lead over Republican Donald Trump. A New York Times/CBS poll found Clinton ahead 45 percent to 42 percent among likely voters, tighter than her nine-point lead in the same poll in mid-October. The poll’s margin of error is plus or minus three percentage points. A Washington Post/ABC News tracking poll found Clinton ahead within the margin of error, 47 percent to 45 percent, having lost ground to Trump since last week. The two surveys showing Clinton still holding a lead halted a seven-day slide in the S&P 500 Index and prompted a rebound for the Mexican peso, a currency that has weakened when Trump’s outlook improves. Among other new polls, Investor’s Business Daily/TIPP said Trump and Clinton were tied at 44 percent each, and Rasmussen found Trump ahead 45 percent to 42 percent. In New Hampshire, a WBUR poll showed Trump ahead by one point, 40 percent to 39 percent. Other polls in the Granite State have shown Clinton

leading consistently for months. State-by-state polling averages continue to give Clinton an edge in the race to 270 Electoral College votes. Her challenge will be to maximize turnout among the Democratic coalition that powered President Barack Obama to two victories: millennials, nonwhite voters and unmarried women. A Trump upset victory would likely require diminished turnout among Democrat voters and higher-than-expected turnout among Trump’s key coalition, primarily white voters without a college degree. Independent Evan McMullin, a conservative protest candidate, has been competitive in the traditionally Republican state of Utah. A victory there would make him the first candidate outside a major party to win a state since 1968 and, if the election is very close, could hold both Trump and Clinton below 270 Electoral College votes, which would send the race to the U.S. House. Clinton’s chances of victory slipped to 86 percent in the New York Times forecast and 67 percent in the FiveThirtyEight polls-only outlook. A forecast Thursday by Larry Sabato, an election analyst at the University of Virginia’s Center for Politics, also said Clinton was favored to win, finding 293 electoral votes leaning toward or safely in

her column, compared to 214 for Trump. Sabato concluded that a letter Friday by FBI Director James Comey reviving scrutiny of Clinton’s private email server “has put a dent in Clinton in the final stages of the race, although the contest was tightening in some ways before the news.” Sabato also moved its rating of the U.S. Senate race in Pennsylvania to “leans Democratic” from “toss-up,” favoring challenger Katie McGinty over incumbent Pat Toomey. The analyst sees Republicans, who currently hold a 54-seat majority in the chamber, with 47 safe seats and Democrats with 48. Nevada, home of retiring Senate Democratic Leader Harry Reid, and Republican-held Missouri, Indiana, North Carolina and New Hampshire remain tossups, he said. FiveThirtyEight gave Democrats a 62-percent chance of taking over the chamber in its polls-only forecast. In the Republican-controlled House, Sabato said, “It appears that the door has finally and completely been shut on the prospects for a Democratic House majority. Clinton just does not appear capable of providing the lift required to put Democrats in range of a 30-seat net gain, and House generic polling averages don’t indicate a wave is coming in the lower chamber.”

Military Veterans Resource Center to sponsor events, fair By GINA BIANUCCI Staff Writer G.M.Bianucci@iup.edu

The IUP Military and Veterans Resource Center will be organizing the next Six O’Clock Series in honor of Veterans Day Nov. 11. The event will be held Monday in Toretti Auditorium, part of the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex. The theme for the event will be “Stories of Service: Honoring Veterans Day.” “Americans owe a lot to veterans because they fought for our freedom and our values,” said Cory Shay, MVRC director. “The media portrayals are not always accurate, and so the veterans’ work often gets overlooked.” A panel containing IUP alumni and faculty will discuss combined military experience. Those members include Colonel Steve Abel; Dr. Michele Papakie, IUP journalism chairwoman and a lieutenant colonel in the Pennsylvania Air National Guard; Dr. David Truby, a former IUP journalism professor; and Stacy Bussell. “An IUP student can benefit from this Six O’Clock Series because it explores American military history from the last 50 years and the cultural and social issues that impacted the military,” Shay said. The MVRC does a Six O’Clock Series every year during the week of Veterans Day. This year, the MVRC will hold different events throughout the day. Aside from the Six O’Clock Series, the MVRC will also be hosting a Veterans Resource Fair and a free lunch. This will be the first Veterans Resource Fair, and it will include presentations and networking opportunities for veterans and the IUP community. The three presentations include a VA hospital talk led by Dwight Boddorf, director of the Center for Excellence for Veteran Student

Some of the vendors will include the Indiana County VA Outpatient Clinic, Highmark and the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. The MVRC and Reserve Officers Training Corps will join forces on Veterans Day to hold a dinner to honor ROTC’s 100th anniversary. The MVRC helps veterans go back to school by helping them with their finances, educating them on their benefits and giving them training and advising. It holds campus workshops, tutoring and mentoring and helps with G.I. Bill certifications and scholarships. The MVRC gives out a monthly newsletter, and also provides amenities like a computer lab with nocost printing, a lounge with cable TV, DVR player and a Wi-Fi-capable conference room for private or group studying.

Studies show new mutations helped Ebola infect more victims during latest outbreak By MELISSA HEALY Los Angeles Times TNS

The Ebola virus that went on a deadly three-year rampage in West Africa before it was smothered earlier this year was on the move in more ways than one. Two new studies show that, in the course of the West African epidemic, the Ebola virus underwent evolutionary changes that made it more deadly and easier to spread from human to human. In 2013, the Ebola virus started cutting a deadly swath through Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, where it eventually infected 28,000 people, killing 11,000 of them. As it passed swiftly from person to person, a gene bearing the program for a key protein mutated in several places, researchers have found. In two articles published Thursday in the journal Cell, researchers report that several of the mutations they observed made the

virus better at infecting the cells of humans and other primates. Compared to a viral sample collected very early in the outbreak, samples that carried one of the mutations detected by researchers were twice as successful at infecting human cells being cultured in a lab. By increasing the virus’ abil-

ity to hijack human cells and turn them into tiny factories for the production of more virus, it’s possible the detected mutations boosted the deadly spread of Ebola virus in the course of the three-year outbreak. The researchers underlined that social factors, such as increased urbanization and mobility, did much to accelerate the spread of Ebola during West Africa’s 2013-16 outbreak. Research has shown that genetic shifts that boost a virus’s ability to replicate in human hosts typically result in higher death tolls. The suspicion that changes in the Ebola virus’s genetic makeup helped fuel the epidemic is also supported by data that link different viral strains to death-toll reports. In the West African outbreak, humans infected with strains of Ebola virus bearing the most potent mutation detected in the new research were more likely to die of the disease than those infected with the original strain.

Penn State faces $2.4 million fine for violations of federal crime reporting law pre-Sandusky By SUSAN SNYDER

The Philadelphia Inquirer TNS

Five years after Pennsylvania State University was rocked by the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal, the fallout continues, this time with the U.S. Department of Education levying the largest fine in history against the school for violations of federal crime reporting laws. The department said it will seek to fine the university $2.4 million for 11 violations, the largest fine ever assessed under the federal Clery Act. The department on Thursday afternoon released a 239-page report on its investigation into the university’s compliance with the act, which it began just days after Sandusky was indicted for assaulting young boys on and off campus. The investigation covered a period beginning in 1998 when the first complaint about Sandusky’s abuse

surfaced through 2011 when the former assistant football coach was indicted by a grand jury, along with two former Penn State administrators, charged with covering up Sandusky’s abuse. Under the Clery Act, colleges and universities are required to disclose the number of criminal offenses on campus that are reported each year and issue timely warnings if there is an ongoing threat to students and staff. According to the report, only

$27,500 of the fine is related to the Sandusky matter. The department is seeking to levy the biggest portion of the fine, about $2.1 million, for failure to properly classify reported incidents and disclose crime statistics from 2008-11. The previous record fine under Clery was $357,500 imposed on Eastern Michigan University, the education department said. Under a settlement, the university paid $350,000. The fine comes just days after a

jury ordered the university to pay $7.3 million to Mike McQueary, the graduate assistant football coach who blamed school officials for destroying his life and coaching career after he became the primary witness against Sandusky and the Penn State administrators charged with covering up the crimes. McQueary had reported to campus officials in 2001 that he had seen Sandusky assaulting a young boy in a campus shower. Former Penn State President Graham B. Spanier, former Athletic Director Tim Curley and former Vice President Gary Schultz continue to face charges of child endangerment and failure to report child abuse in the case. Minutes after the report was released, Penn State spokeswoman Lisa Powers issued a statement, emphasizing the university’s overhaul of campus safety and governance regulations after the scandal. “While regrettably we cannot change the past, today the univer-

sity has been recognized for significantly strengthening our programs since 2011,” Powers said. “The safety and security of our university community is a top priority, and we are dedicated to full compliance with the Clery Act and the Drug Free Schools and Communities Act.” The Clery Center, which helps universities comply with the federal law, said the report and fine offers “powerful guidance for institutions across the country.” While the report highlights violations related to Sandusky’s abuse, it also notes other deficiencies in Penn State’s crime reporting operation, the center said in a statement. “These findings provide colleges and universities an opportunity to proactively address campus safety and compliance on their campuses and should initiate candid discussions with leaders and the campus community as a whole,” the center said in its statement.

Once a Trump skeptic, Ted Cruz has joined the Republican’s bandwagon By JESSICA CAMPISI

McClatchy Washington Bureau TNS

It’s better late than never for Sen. Ted Cruz. After months of butting heads with Donald Trump, the Texas senator has joined the campaign trail to support the Republican presidential nominee just days before the nation’s final votes are cast. Mike Pence, the Indiana governor and Republican vice presidential nominee, tweeted Thursday morning that he was “Excited to be campaigning w/ @tedcruz,” asking viewers to tune in to the rally at Bruere Farm in Prole, Iowa. “It’s time for Republicans to come home,” he wrote. Cruz also joined Pence in Kalamazoo, Mich., Thursday to rally for Trump. Before that, he’d trav-

eled to campaign for down-ballot races in Colorado, Nevada and Missouri. Cruz’s official Trump endorsement came in a Sept. 23 Facebook post, where he vowed to keep his promise and support the party’s nominee. “This election is unlike any other in our nation’s history,” Cruz wrote. “Like many other voters, I have struggled to determine the right course of action in this general election. After many months of careful consideration, of prayer and searching my own conscience, I have decided that on Election Day, I will vote for the Republican nominee, Donald Trump.” Cruz added to recent campaign rhetoric by voicing his disapproval toward Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton in a tweet Thursday, denouncing her use of a private email server while she served as secretary of state.

At least one Senate Republican will win re-election in the year of Trump By CURTIS TATE

The McClatchy Washington Bureau TNS

He stands a bit taller than most of his colleagues, yet he keeps a fairly low profile. He holds doors for staffers and even reporters and can sometimes be seen emerging from his office in running shorts. Kansas Republican Sen. Jerry Moran is up for re-election this year, but you wouldn’t know it for all the attention paid to competitive Senate races, such as Missouri’s barnburner between Republican Sen. Roy Blunt and Democratic challenger Jason Kander. Still, Moran has paid for TV ads that highlight his record. Moran served many years in the House of Representatives before his election to the Senate in 2010. And in a turbulent year in which Republi-

cans nationwide face downward pressure from their party’s volatile presidential nominee, Donald Trump, Moran’s all-but-certain re-election is a bright spot on an otherwise bleak map. Republicans may lose their Senate majority in next week’s election, a majority Moran quietly helped engineer as chairman of the National Republi-

can Senatorial Committee, known as the NRSC, in 2014. Should Republicans salvage their majority, or win it back in two years, Moran, 62, would be in a good spot. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell would get to decide committee chairmanships, and Moran could be rewarded for his work for the party. In any case,

he’ll have more seniority in a second term, and more influence. “I think Jerry Moran’s natural tendency is to lie low, climb the ladder and not make waves,” said Patrick Miller, an assistant professor of political science at the University of Kansas. “You don’t take NRSC chairman unless you have leadership ambitions of some kind.” Earlier this year though, Moran uncharacteristically broke ranks with Republican leaders over President Barack Obama’s nomination of Merrick Garland to the Supreme Court. While many Senate Republicans backed McConnell’s refusal to hold a vote on Garland’s nomination or even meet with him, Moran told a town hall audience in western Kansas that the process ought to go forward. After drawing a sharp rebuke from conservative

groups and the threat of a primary challenge from Kansas Republican Rep. Mike Pompeo, Moran relented. Moran, who won the August Republican primary with 79 percent of the vote, declined to comment for this story. The Supreme Court dust-up notwithstanding, Moran is in good shape. He’s raised $4.3 million this election cycle, a fairly good number for a secure incumbent. His leadership political action committee has been active, helping his colleagues in more competitive races: Kelly Ayotte in New Hampshire, Joe Heck in Nevada, Ron Johnson in Wisconsin and Mark Kirk in Illinois. Moran’s leadership PAC also has given a boost to two members of Kansas’ House delegation, Kevin Yoder and Lynn Jenkins.

Stress levels show chimpanzees need friends By AMINA KAHN Los Angeles Times TNS

A little social support from your best buds goes a long way, whether you’re a human or a chimp. A new study that followed a chimpanzee community in the forests of Uganda has found that quality time with close companions significantly decreased stress hormone levels in the primates – whether they were resting, grooming or facing off against rival groups. The findings, described this week in the journal Nature Communications, shed light on the physiological effects of close companionship in chimps and could have implications for human health too. Researchers have long known that stress can worsen health and raise the risk of early death in humans as well as other social mammals. “It can have effects on immune function, cardio function, fertility, cognition, even your mood,” said

(TNS) A new study that followed a chimpanzee community in the forests of Uganda has found that time with close companions significantly decreased stress hormone levels in the primates.

study coauthor Kevin Langergraber, a primatologist at Arizona State University. Maintaining close social bonds can help these animals (humans included) buffer some of that stress, potentially mitigating some health risks. But scientists have yet to pin down the exact physiological mechanisms at work. “Social bonds make you survive

and produce better, but how do they do that?” Langergraber said. To find out, the international team of researchers studied members of the Sonso chimpanzee community in Uganda’s Budongo Forest, a group consisting of 15 males, 35 females and 28 juveniles and infants during the study period from February 2008 to July 2010. Like humans, chimpanzees tend

to have “besties” or bond partners with whom they appeared to feel close. Just as some humans might have one or two close friends and others have more, the number of bond partners varied for each chimp. The researchers wanted to see whether interactions with these bond partners led to lower stress levels during particularly stressful situations, such as when fighting rival groups, or whether time spent with friends helped lower stress levels more generally, throughout the day. The scientists observed the chimps perform three types of activities: resting, grooming or squabbling with other groups of chimps. A team of up to six observers watched the chimps and followed them around to collect urine samples. The samples, collected from nine adult male and eight adult female chimps, were tested to see how much of the stress hormone cortisol they contained. The scientists found that chimpanzees’ levels of urinary cortisol (plus four of cortisol’s metabolites)

were 23 percent lower, on average, during the activities when they were with their bond partner. This was especially true for stressful activities, such as the intergroup rivalries, where any chimp on the front line might face physical harm or even death. The findings dovetail well with earlier research showing that levels of oxytocin – the so-called “cuddle hormone” – rise during grooming, Langergraber said. “It might be indicating that oxytocin might have a dampening role in cortisol secretions ... so it’s giving you some more knowledge about the complicated ways in which these hormones interact,” he said. The findings in chimpanzees, some of our closest living relatives, could shed light on the role such close social relationships play in human health too, he said. Such friendships may be just as important during good times as bad – though more research needs to be done before any conclusions can be drawn.

UC Berkeley fraternities suspend social events after sexual assault reports By KATY MURPHY The Mercury News TNS

Leaders of the University of California, Berkeley’s Greek system have taken the unusual step of suspending social activities in the wake of reports that two students were sexually assaulted at fraternity parties last weekend. Calling the incidents “vile and unjust,” the campuswide fraternity council announced the decision this week on its Facebook page. “The (Interfraternity Council) has voluntarily decided to suspend all social events until we can re-evaluate our risk management practices and care for those who have been affected,” the statement said. One woman told Berkeley police she was sexually assaulted by an acquaintance on the morning of Oct. 15. Another reported “unwanted

sexual conduct” on Oct. 14, according to an alert from UC Berkeley’s campus police department. The Berkeley Police Department is investigating both cases. Campus police issued two crime alerts in close succession Monday evening. Annual crime statistics updated this month show UC Berkeley received 45 reports of rape and other sex offenses in 2015, compared to 23 in 2012. “While we have no reason to believe that these were committed by fraternity men on this campus, it is still disheartening and alarming that they have occurred on fraternity property,” it said. “We wish to reiterate our pledge to eliminate sexual violence from our community and reaffirm our commitment to our members and students of Berkeley to provide a safe environment for all.”

EDITORIAL Fall Classic makes for an unforgettable night

When you stay up until 1 a.m. only to watch the team you were rooting for lose, 8-7, in 10 innings in Game 7 of the World Series, it’s easy to let the disappointment of the evening overshadow the historical significance of the game. Reflecting on the score now, I realize that the outcome wasn’t nearly as important as the matchup itself. Aside from the fact that this was Game 7 – which is no small detail – of a series in which two longtime-losing teams were paired against each other, there were simply too many underdog stories to keep track of all the details. This game marked the first World Series appearance since 1997 for the Indians, and the Chicago’s first championship since 1908. To put things into perspective, 1908 was the year Lyndon B. Johnson was born, four years before Titanic sank and 12

years before women gained the right to vote. As if that weren’t enough, this series was one of the most rapidly changing of them all. A 3-1 series lead suggested that the team from a city which never wins anything was finally having a turn of luck. Beginning with the Cavaliers’ championship win in June, it truly seemed that this could be the Indians’ year, too. Yet, suddenly, something that seemed so sure turned into a nail-biter as the series progressed. Chicago carried a lead late into the final game, but unexpectedly lost it in the eighth inning when their closer, Aroldis Chapman, allowed three runs. The Indians were down, 6-3, but they tied the game up with an RBI double from Brandon Guyer and a two-run home run from Rajai Davis. Logistically, a Cubs win began to seem like an impossibility once again. Cleveland had the momentum, homefield advantage and a tired Chapman on its side. In another unpredictable turn of events, a 17-minute rain delay halted what could have been a very different game. When play resumed for the 10th inning, the Cubs came back recharged and ready to fight. In the extra inning, Chicago scored two more runs. While Cleveland managed to squeeze in one more, it simply

wasn’t enough to overcome the deficit. Despite the exhaustion that accompanied this emotional rollercoaster of a game, this was a match that, in the best way possible, had every single person on the edge of his or her seat. Or the edge of the floor. Or the edge of any random object in the house because, let’s face it, there was no sitting still for this game. It’s possible that this game was exactly what the American people needed right now. In the midst of a troubling presidential election and countless other stressors, whether we are Chicago fans, Cleveland fans or just sports fans in general, for one moment we were simply people who wanted to watch a great game. And that’s what we got. The outcome of this night was less important than the fact that it actually happened. By winning their first World Series since before there had even been a world war, the Cubs have reminded us that it’s OK to be happy and hopeful in a country filled with so much uncertainty, fear and hate. That is something special.

Drink Indiana: H.R. Steinhouse By NICOLETTE QUERRY Staff Writer N.M.Querry@iup.edu

H.R. Steinhouse, a gastropub located on Philadelphia Street, offers flights with a choice of four wines or four craft, on-tap beers. The wine list includes three reds and four whites. Reds, driest to sweetest, include Tre Cabernet Sauvignon, Tussock Jumper Merlot and Vina Palaciega Malbec. Whites, driest to sweetest, include Guglielmo Pinot Grigio, Jones of Washington, Dreamfish Chardonnay and Dreambird Moscato. The flight consisted of Cabernet, Merlot, Jones of Washington and Moscato. The Cabernet and Merlot were suggested by the bartender. The Cabernet had a taste of a fruit, but without added sugar. It

was the most bitter wine on the flight. The Merlot was not sweet, but it was a lot less bitter than the Cabernet. The merlot had a very smooth finish and didn’t have much of an aftertaste. The taste improved toward the

end of the glass, however. The Jones of Washington was decently sweet and had a noticeable hint of apple. It was much sweeter than the red wines, although not the sweetest and, overall, unique for a white wine. It had the biggest variety in

fruit flavor. The Moscato was the sweetest wine listed, and it did not fail to live up to that. The Moscato was much different than other Moscatos, but in a refreshing way. The obvious taste of peach and apricot added a unique twist to the wine.

According to co-owner Denny Della-Penna, H.R. Steinhouse hopes to be adding 14 beers to its tap seletion. Della-Penna also described his plans for a custom-made wooden shelf to hold a larger selection of wines.

Two bands return to The Brown Hotel

Two IUP music department faculty members will join forces to create music, and anyone is welcome to attend and enjoy. Heidi Lucas and Henry Wong Doe are set to perform in a faculty recital together at 7:30 p.m. Monday in Cogswell Hall, Room 121. Lucas will be playing the horn and Wong Doe will be providing piano accompaniment. Assistant Professor Lucas teaches applied horn, music history courses, professional practices and leads the IUP Horn Choir. “I usually do at least one recital a year because I enjoy the challenge of putting together a recital program and getting to work with colleagues in the process,” Lucas said. Lucas’ history with the horn may not be what people expect.

Heidi Lucas has been teaching at IUP for two years.

Henry Wong Doe earned his doctorate at the Julliard School in New York.

“I started on the violin when I was 5 and switched to piano after a few months after that,” Lucas said. “I began playing the horn when I was 9.” Lucas has performed on tours throughout the U.S., England, Brazil, Germany, Austria, Australia, Russia and Panama. She is currently a member of several groups consisting of the Eastern Standard, the Crosswinds Woodwind Quintet and the Blenheim Brass Trio. Wong Doe is an associate

professor of music and teaches applied piano, class piano and piano ensemble. He performed a solo recital in September at IUP and continues to perform all over the world. Wong Doe has performed at Carnegie Hall in New York, Heinz Hall in Pittsburgh, the Sydney Opera House in Australia and the Mann Auditorium in Tel Aviv, Israel. In 2017, he will be on sabbatical to record his third solo album. This event is free and open to the public.

The Hawkeyes and Coastal Remedy both played The Brown Hotel in the past.

By TORI STROMBERG

Staff Writer T.J.Stromberg@iup.edu

The Brown Hotel is the place to go for a night full of music and drinks. The Hawkeyes and Coastal Remedy will be playing a gig there at 10 p.m. Saturday. The Hawkeyes consider their music to be rock n’ roll. “Today, you’ve got to be a bit more specific, so we fall into that Americana, Rustbelt, Heartland Rock with a hint of country, but the short answer is we’re an honestto-goodness, pure-souled rock n’ roll band,” The Hawkeyes said in a Monday group Facebook interview. The band consists of four members: Mike Grego (lead guitar), Brian Chalmers (bass), Colin Bronnenkant (drums) and Jay Wiley (guitar/lead vocals). The Hawkeyes are no strangers to playing at The Brown Hotel. The members had nothing but great things to say about their experiences there. “We love it there,” the group said. “We have been there a number of times, and we absolutely love the vibe. You get so much love from the staff and fans,” The Hawkeyes said. Coastal Remedy helped to get the gig at The Brown Hotel this time around for The Hawkeyes. Both bands had previously played together at the venue, which led to their upcoming show. “We want people to know that our music is pure and honest,” the group said. “Every note played and every lyric sung, we have a true ‘all-in’ mentality when it comes to performing our music. We love

to sing about people, places and things that have pushed themselves to a breaking point. To us, that is a big part of what life is about,” The Hawkeyes said. The fact that the band has been together for a long time and have stayed persistent despite the odds thrown against them is one of their biggest accomplishments. The Hawkeyes want to continue to have a positive mentality about their band. Coastal Remedy is an alternative rock band that consists of four members: Adam Hess (guitar), Matt Snyder (bass, backing vox), Max Bizousky (vox, acoustic, rhythm) and Dylan Murphy (drums). “Our name came from desperation after our original name was taken by another artist just before releasing our first album,” Snyder said. The Brown Hotel is a familiar venue for Coastal Remedy, too, but The Brown has not heard Coastal Remedy’s sound for a few years. Thanks to Sean Howard, general manager of The Brown Hotel, Coastal Remedy will be back for another gig with The Hawkeyes. “We are very excited to let our fans know that we are currently working on new material and will be playing new songs at this gig,” Snyder said. Coastal Remedy has been very successful and has released two full-length albums. “We’ve gone through some hard times in our personal lives, and as a band, but we are excited to start anew and give back to our fans through new songs and playing what they want to hear,” Snyder said.

‘People of Color’ anti-blackness is among us By TIA WILLIAMS

True Culture University University of California

This article contains opinion. Lately, I’ve been very skeptical toward the umbrella phrase “people of color” that is so heavily used, especially among we educated folks in higher education who are self-proclaimed activists in our own right. But the problem I am having is regarding how inclusive these conversations and spaces that are about and for people of color, are, well, for people of color. Before I even go there, how do we define people of “color” in modern times? Is it a descriptor of everyone who is not of European descent or white? Or is it just a blanket term used to create a collective identity for

those who have been historically oppressed by white supremacy and the current power structure? Yet, even to that end, there are levels to oppression: So how much of a collective identity do “people of color” really share? I’m not Sway, and I really don’t have all of the answers. However, I’d like to pose another question: Why is it that in contemporary times, people of darker, deeper skin tones and complexions get the shorter end of the stick across different racial groups, different cultures, different countries and different continents? While we can debate the origins of this global phenomenon and the factors that contribute to it until we turn blue and black in the face (figuratively, of course), I would be remiss if I called it

An introduction to True Culture University Miles Henderson (senior, political science) has started his own online publication focusing on contemporary issues regarding “blackness” in America. True Culture University connects different campuses by allowing students to voice their opinions on what it means to them to be black today. “True Culture U. is committed to establishing and fostering connections between all African-descended people – whether you are in America, the Caribbean, South America or the Continent itself – cultivating a new collective mindset for the 21st and 22nd century,” according to True Culture University’s mission statement on truecultureuniversity.com The Penn has paired with True Culture to bring you more publications of articles from new writers.

anything other than what it is: antiblackness. Whether you subscribe to the conspiracy theories against more melanin sufficient people or subconsciously permit societies’ tendency to thrust them down the ladder of social desirability,

anti-blackness is among us more often than not. From the disproportionate ratio of “light skin” versus “dark skin” lead roles (who are portrayed in a positive light) in the television and movie industry, to the memes that perpetuate negative stereotypes, specifically about women of darker skin complexion – even more

precisely – dark-skinned black women. There is a general color spectrum that I believe is very pronounced in the U.S. but exists probably everywhere, which heavily informs the psyche of just about everyone who has been socialized by the education system or mainstream media in a given society. Unfortunately, there is really no way of escaping it. Thus, I’ve come to understand the color spectrum basically like this: To the far left you have “white,” and to the far right you have “black” – good and bad, respectively − sometimes figuratively, sometimes literally. Yet, despite popular belief, the whole idea of colorism is not exclusive to only black people. Other racial groups experience colorism in relevant ways. However,

because black people represent one extreme of the color spectrum, our position is one of duality. That is, yes, we experience colorism among ourselves or within our racial group. At the very same time, the negative connotations associated with our position on the spectrum conflict with other racial groups causing racial distancing. So for black students who occupy culturally diverse and inclusive spaces, especially for students of color at their university institutions, it’s important to be aware of the dichotomy we face. Therefore, when anti-black sentiments are put forth, confront them, name them, call them out. Decolonize our own minds and encourage others to do the same. Begin identifying anti-blackness in order to begin deconstructing it.

Dani Hunt has been participating in NaNoWriMo for six years.

By KATIE MEST

Staff Writer K.A.Mest@iup.edu

Tuesday marked the beginning of National Novel Writing Month, when participating writers from all over the world can express their creativity in 50,000 words and 30 days. The event serves to aid writers along their journey and “provide

the structure, community and encouragement to help people find their voices, achieve creative goals and build new worlds – on and off the page,” according to its mission statement. Anyone with the dream of writing a novel can participate. Dani Hunt (senior, business management) began taking part in the event in her junior year of high school after her creative writing teacher promoted it. “Whenever I first started, I think I only wrote like 200 words a day, which wasn’t a lot,” Hunt said. “Now I can hound out thousands

of words.” To stay consistent in working toward the 50,000 word goal – the standard length of a novel – writers must write approximately 1,600 words a day. National Novel Writing Month offers tools to assist writers, such as a graph that indicates if the writer is on track to finishing the goal length. The tools also show writers how many words they’ll have to write per day to finish the 50,000 words by Nov. 30 if they are not on track. This year, Hunt looks to expand her ideas for a novel that she

started in a novel writing class she enrolled in for this semester. “It’s young adult fiction about people that are connected via their dreams,” Hunt said. “I’m just going to continue that.” Dr. Chauna Craig teaches a novel writing class at IUP for students like Hunt that are interested in writing, and uses the writing event as a part of her class. “I'm trying to teach students to set writing goals, modify them when life gets in the way and meet those modified goals,” Craig said. “Students meet their own goals while devoting that month to

their own novel projects.” According to Craig, the English department has offered a special course in novel writing for the past three fall semesters and has since changed it to a permanent class due to its popularity. Craig participated in National Novel Writing Month herself and gained insight into how to help her students along this process. “I realized that 50,000 words was arbitrary, and what was most important was enjoying the creative process,” Craig said. “That's what I now try to emphasize with my students.”

S PO R T S Chicago Cubs finally end ‘curse,’

THE PENN

Sports Editor: Sean Fritz – S.D.Fritz@iup.edu Lead Sports Writer: Jarrod Browne – J.W.Browne@iup.edu

win first World Series since 1908 By DENNIS CANIZ Staff Writer

D.M.Caniz@iup.edu

The Chicago Cubs have won the World Series for the first time since 1908, ending a 108-year drought. The moment had been in the works ever since William Sianis and his goat put a curse on the Cubs after being kicked out of Game 4 of the 1945 World Series at Wrigley Field. The curse ended Wednesday when Kris Bryant’s 5-3 putout made history for the MLBbest Cubs. This series was a hard-fought, back-and-forth, up-and-down battle, with both teams vying for baseball’s ultimate prize. The Indians were on a dry streak of their own, not having won a World Series since 1948, although they made an appearance in 1997. Due to the American League winning the All-Star Game, the Indians had home-field advantage for the series. Game 1 started out with an explosive first inning for the Indians. With two outs and the bases loaded, Jose Ramirez hit a short grounder up the third base side. Everyone was safe with a runner coming in to make it a 1-0 ballgame. The next batter, Brandon Guyer, was hit by a pitch bringing in another run, making it 2-0. Indians starter Corey Kluber recorded nine strikeouts in six innings pitched. In the top of the seventh, the Cubs had an opportunity to tie the game or take the lead with a oneout, bases-loaded situation, but Indians reliever Andrew Miller struck the next two batters out, ending the inning..

The Chicago Cubs defeated the Cleveland Indians in a best-of-seven series for the club’s first World Series title since 1908.

The Indians took Game 1, 6-0. The Cubs came to play in Game 2. They had ace Jake Arrieta on the mound going against Indians righty Trevor Bauer. The Cubs’ bats attacked in the first inning with an RBI double by first baseman Anthony Rizzo. Kyle Schwarber hit an RBI single in the third, making it 2-0 Cubs. Jason Kipnis scored the only run for the Indians in their 5-1 loss. The Cubs tied the series at one game apiece going into Chicago for Game 3. This was the first World Series game played at Wrigley Field since 1945. This game was a shutout until the top of the seventh inning with runners at the corners for the Indians. Pinch-hitter Coco Crisp hit a shallow fly ball to right field, allowing Michael Martinez to score from third. The Cubs had a chance to tie it with two outs and runners in scoring position, but Indians closer Cody Allen struck out Javier Baez to end the game,

securing Game 3, 1-0, in favor of Cleveland. Game 4 came next, with Kluber pitching on four days’ rest for the Tribe. The Indians won, 7-2, with shutdown pitching and clutch hitting. Jason Kipnis had a three-run home run in the seventh inning to put the Cubs away and lock it up. With the Indians leading the series, 3-1, they had the opportunity to win it all at Wrigley Field in Game 5. The Cubs, with their backs against the wall, sent Jon Lester to the mound. In the second inning, Lester let up a home run to Jose Ramirez. The Cubs got the run back plus two more in the fourth, making it 3-1. The Indians answered with one run in the sixth, but that’s all they got in Game 5. The Cubs won this elimination game, 3-2, forcing the series to go back to Cleveland for a Game 6 and a Game 7, if necessary.

(TNS)

The Indians looked to win the title at home in Game 6, but once again Chicago came out swinging. With an RBI double and a solo home run in the first inning, plus a grand slam from Addison Russell in the third, the Cubs got a 7-0 lead quickly. The Tribe got one run each in the fourth, fifth and ninth innings, but that was not nearly enough in this Game 6 matchup. The Cubs won, 9-3, and avoided elimination for the second game in a row to force Game 7. Throughout the postseason, the Indians were never threatened with an elimination game. Game 7 carried a lot of weight for both teams, as they tried to break their franchises’ dry streaks of no titles. In the first inning, the Cubs took a 1-0 lead, but the Indians tied it up in the third. The next inning, the Cubs went up two, making it 3-1. In the fifth,

with no outs and a man on base, Javier Baez smacked a two-run home run to extend the lead to 5-1. In the bottom of the fifth with two outs and two on base, Lester, on in relief, threw a wild pitch that bounced off the catcher’s mask and rolled to the backstop, allowing the two runners to score. The Cubs struck again, though, with a solo home run by catcher David Ross, making it 6-3 Chicago. In the bottom of the eighth, the Indians got a run back with a Guyer RBI double. The next at-bat, with two outs and a 2-2 count, Indians’ veteran outfielder Rajai Davis hit a two-run home run to tie the game. The ninth was scoreless, sending it into extra innings. Before the start of the 10th, rain was coming down hard, which caused a 17-minute rain delay. The game resumed, and so did the Cubs’ momentum. With two men on for Chicago in the top of the 10th, Ben Zobrist slapped a go-ahead double down the left field line, breaking the tie. The Cubs got another run in the 10th, making it 8-6 going into the bottom of the 10th. The Indians, with their backs against the wall, had to score two to keep it going and three to win. With two out and a man on second, Davis hit one up the middle for an RBI single, cutting the lead to just one with a man still on. Michael Martinez was the next batter, hitting a dribbler to third where Kris Bryant made the throw on to first to end the game and secure the Cubs’ third World Series championship and their first in 108 years.

NBA season begins with all signs leading toward Cleveland, Golden State finals rematch By ANTHONY DIRENZO Staff Writer

A.D.DiRenzo@iup.edu

As fall is upon us, we finally have reached tip-off for what should be another exciting year of NBA hoops. It was a long offseason featuring some eye-opening decisions, most notably former Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant signing with the Golden State Warriors. Also, Chicago native Dwayne Wade returned home to join the Bulls after a long career in Miami. The New York Knicks were active this offseason, acquiring point guard Derrick Rose and center Joakim Noah. Many of the young rebuilding teams in the league improved in a big way, such as the Philadelphia 76ers, who drafted forward Ben Simmons with the No. 1 pick in the 2016 draft. Unfortunately, the Sixers’ young star has been injured and will miss at least the beginning of this year. On the other hand, things are looking up for Philly with big-man Joel Embiid being cleared to play after sitting out the past two seasons with injuries. Minnesota has been improving more and more each draft after getting a potential superstar last year in Karl-Anthony Towns to join forces with Andrew Wiggins and a good supporting cast, featuring the No. 3 overall pick in this year’s draft, guard Kris Dunn. In terms of contenders, the Eastern Conference has been a bit overlooked the past couple years, with Cleveland simply dominating. Expect more of the same this season. The Bulls should have one of the best chances to take a run at the Cavs, led by Wade, Jimmy Butler and Rajon Rondo. The Knicks are another team on the radar, but they will once again try to work in former superstars around their young core, starting

with Kristaps Porzingis and Carmelo Anthony. The Boston Celtics should not be forgotten about, either. They have been improving each year and have now added a bigman in Al Horford. Things are much more interesting the Western Conference. The clear favorite is the Warriors, especially since the arrival of Durant. The Warriors should have a great year, considering last year they set the single-season win record, even better than Michael Jordan’s legendary Bulls. Although the Thunder have lost one of their stars in Durant, they still have triple-double machine Russell Westbrook. Adding Victor Oladipo to join Westbrook for an outside shot presence makes this Thunder team one that nobody should count out. The San Antonio Spurs look like they have not missed a beat. Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge will look to lead the way now under longtime coach Gregg Popovich. The Spurs are a force to be reckoned with, and could possibly even become the top dog in the West. Expect the new-look Lakers to have a bounce-back season even without Kobe Bryant, who retired following last season. Rookie Brandon Ingram out of Duke was added through the draft as the second overall pick, and he seems to have the skills everyone wants in a pure NBA scorer. DeAngelo Russell and company have a tall task ahead if they want to make the playoffs this season. Looking at the other team in Los Angeles, the Clippers think they have a legitimate shot this year. With players like Chris Paul, Blake Griffin and DeAndre Jordan, the team is bound to put up points. The real question is if they can get over the playoff hump this season and make a deep run. With what is expected to be another exciting season, it will be interesting to see who comes out on top.

(TNS) The Cleveland Cavaliers raised their 2015-16 NBA Championship banner Oct. 25 at Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland prior to their season opener, in which they hosted and defeated the New York Knicks. The Cavs, led by superstar LeBron James, are expected to be the favorites coming out of the Eastern Conference, and many fans and experts have predicted them to repeat as NBA champions this season.

Clemson edges Florida State in Tallahassee to remain ACC favorite By JED JOHNSON

J.N.Johnson3@iup.edu

Week 9 of the college football season saw four of the top five teams win their games by fewer than 10 points. The Alabama Crimson Tide did not play last week, and maintained its No. 1 ranking. The No. 3 Clemson Tigers and No. 5 Louisville Cardinals were both in danger of losing their games, with each team trailing in the fourth quarter of those games. The Tigers pulled off a fourth quarter comeback against the Florida State Seminoles on the heels of halfback Wayne Gallman’s 2-yard touchdown run with a failed two-point conversion and a 46yard field goal from kicker Greg Huegel. The Seminoles answered with a Dalvin Cook 8-yard rushing touchdown, his fourth touchdown in the

ing the right pylon. The Tigers won the game, 3734. No. 5 Louisville trailed the 2-6 Virginia Cavaliers, 17-14, heading into the final quarter, but Lamar Jackson tossed two touchdown passes in an 18-point fourth quar-

ter for the Cardinals – a 10-yard pass to Reggie Bonnafon and a 29-yard pass to Jaylen Smith, the team’s leading touchdown receiver. Virginia quarterback Kurt Benkert and wide receiver Doni Dowling connected for a touchdown, putting Virginia up by one, Jaylen Smith caught the go-ahead score on a fade route down the right side of the field with 17 seconds left in the game. No. 25 Virginia Tech escaped Pittsburgh with a 39-36 win over the Panthers Oct. 27. Panther halfback James Conner recorded three rushing touchdowns to go along with 141 yards on 19 carries, but Hokies kicker Joey Slye made all six field goal attempts, which was the difference in the game. Saturday contains some crucial match-ups between top 25 teams. No. 10 Nebraska will face off against No. 6 Ohio State in Columbus, Ohio, in a battle of 7-1 teams.

The Buckeyes average 10.6 more points per game than the Huskers do, 42.6 to 32.0. Buckeye freshman halfback Mike Weber is averaging 6.0 yards per carry, with 770 yards and six scores on the ground in 129 attempts this season. No. 1 Alabama travels to No. 13 LSU in a match that may be closer than expected with the sudden resurgance of the Bayou Bengals under interim coach Ed Orgeron. Leonard Fournette has 670 rushing yards and five rushing touchdowns this season on 83 carries, even though he has missed four contests. In the four games Fournette has participated in, he has eclipsed 100 yards. Crimson Tide quarterback Jalen Hurts has 1,578 yards in the air this season, with 12 touchdowns and five interceptions. Hurts has only failed to be responsible for a touchdown in one contest this year, but the Crimson Tide still scored 48 points.

IUP’s upset attempt falls short, ending the season in heartbreaking fashion By EVAN MCCUE Staff Writer

E.M.McCue@iup.edu

After finishing in a draw in a game against Shippensburg University, the IUP Crimson Hawks soccer team was granted the eighth seed in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) playoffs. Arriving late to the PSAC playoff picture did not exactly benefit the team, as it was set to square off Tuesday against the top-seeded West Chester University Golden Rams. West Chester entered the game with an unblemished record of 17-0, an impressive enough record to earn them the No. 3 ranking in the country. IUP hosted West Chester a little less than a month ago in a dominant 3-1 victory for the Golden Rams, while outshooting IUP, 17-6, in the game. IUP entered Tuesday’s game with a fearless attitude despite being the overwhelming underdogs.

SOCCER

(IUP Athletics) The Crimson Hawks’ upset attempt fell short Tuesday against top-seeded West Chester University after the team was unable to find the equalizing goal in its first-round matchup of the PSAC playoffs.

The defense played well in the first half, holding West Chester without a goal thanks to four saves from goalie Jessica Printz (senior, athletic training). The IUP offense also struggled in the first half, getting only three shots away before reaching halftime locked up in a scoreless tie. West Chester’s potent offensive attack eventually found a crease in the IUP defense early on in the second half, as they headed in a goal in the 54th minute to give them the 1-0 lead. IUP kept its composure despite trailing, as they actually outshot West Chester, 5-4.

The Crimson Hawks were unable to come up with the equalizing goal despite shots on goal from Lexie Palluconi (junior, child development and family relations), Kiersten Zerbe (senior, exercise

science), Kallie Conte (sophomore, safety science) and McKenna Keffel (freshman, marketing). A heartbreaking 1-0 loss to the No. 3 team in the country is a tough one to swallow, especially for the seniors like Printz. “We had our ups and downs this season, but we truly came together at the end and played a great game agains West Chester,” Printz said. “I can’t believe four years went by so fast. I’ll never forget my time at IUP, and I’ll miss playing alongside my best friends every day.” The Crimson Hawks finished the season with a record of 9-9-1, and made their 13th PSAC playoff appearance in school history. Coach Adel Heder added another nine-win season to his resume, as he now has 14 in his 16 seasons at the helm of IUP women’s soccer.

His overall record stands at 181108-22. Some standout performers for the Crimson Hawks in 2016 included Palluconi, who finished eighth in the conference in goals scored, with eight, and 10th in points per game average, with .95. Printz also made her mark in the conference after finishing eighth in goals against with an average of 1.236 and fifth in shutouts with four. The Crimson Hawks will look to build off this season for the future. The team will only lose three seniors heading into next season and were able to get a lot of experience for some of their younger players. Making the PSAC playoffs is certainly an accomplishment in and of itself, and that will be an experience the Hawks’ returning players will hope to draw upon next season.

Crimson Hawks’ season ends with postseason loss to West Chester

(IUP Athletics) IUP goalie Alyssa Lerda made a career-high nine saves in her final appearance for the Crimson Hawks in Tuesday’s postseason loss to West Chester University.

The IUP field hockey team had its season come to an end Tuesday when it lost, 4-1, to West Chester University in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) playoff quarterfinals. The Crimson Hawks finished the season with a 10-8 overall FIELD HOCKEY record. The team was also ranked No. 10 in the Division II Coaches Poll. West Chester scored first at the 3:15 mark. They scored again in the 30th minute of the game, and entered halftime with a 2-0 lead. In the second half, West Chester scored another two goals, putting them up, 4-0. IUP finally got on the board in the 55th minute when Bryn Nelson (freshman, nursing) scored off an assist from Emma Smiley (sophomore, natural science/pre-optome-

try). West Chester dominated most of the game, as they outshot IUP, 23-2, and held the edge in penalty corners, 10-1. The Crimson Hawks did get strong goalie play from Alyssa Lerda (senior, earth/space science), who tied her career high with nine saves. Had IUP not received such strong play from Lerda, the score differential may have been much greater than three. Despite the loss, the Crimson Hawks achieved their goal of earning a spot in the PSAC playoffs after missing out last season. “It's sad the season has come to an end here,” said Amber Bailey (senior, psychology), who is also staff a writer for The Penn. “We were hoping to go all the way to the end but fell short. I'm very happy with how our season went and am very proud of each one of my teams mates.” The loss now ends the season for the Crimson Hawks. With the win, West Chester now advances to the PSAC semifinals, where they will play No. 2-ranked Shippensburg.
