APSCUF legislators sat in informational workshops in Harrisburg over the weekend to learn more about what the strike would look like.

Potential APSCUF strike set for Oct. 19 Faculty attend job action workshops in preparation

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

It’s official: Faculty members at the 14 state universities will strike Oct. 19 if significant progress has not been made in contract negotiations. The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) and the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF) are making efforts to prepare and notify those who will be affected. Both APSCUF and PASSHE have expressed the desire to avoid a faculty strike. “This is not a day that we look forward to at all,” said APSCUF President Dr. Kenneth Mash, referring to the Oct. 19 strike date in a livestream press conference on Friday. More than 15,000 people viewed the Facebook livestream video from APSCUF Friday morning. During the livestream, Mash

explained what changes APSCUF wants to be made to the contract, including funds for development and resarch projects and less adjunct professors teaching immediately following entry into a graduate program. He also mentioned that APSCUF suggested seeking a compromise through a binding arbitration, which is a third party contractor, but PASSHE refused the offer. Additionally, Mash announced that APSCUF would be filing a former complaint with the Pennsylvania Department of Labor. Mash also answered questions about what a strike would look like and what it would mean to faculty, students and community members. The livestream video is available on APSCUF’s Facebook page. “To be clear, neither the Board of Governors, the Chancellor, nor the universities want a faculty strike and are working hard to avoid it,” said a Friday PASSHE press release. The PASSHE press release attempted to answer frequently

asked questions that students and parents may have. PASSHE said it will exhaust every effort in order to avoid the strike, and the universities will also make every effort to remain open. For students concerned about graduation, PASSHE’s press release said that additional days may be added to the end of the current semester dates to “fulfill the U.S. Department of Education’s requirements.” If the strike lasts weeks instead of days, PASSHE will consider finding a way to refund student’s tuition, said PASSHE spokesperson Kenn Marshall in a phone interview. “Individual faculty members would decide for themselves whether to participate in a strike that would be called by the union,” said the PASSHE press release. APSCUF’s fact sheet on their student page says, “during a strike, your faculty will not work. Neither in-person nor online classes will meet. No academic advising will take place. University committees will not meet. They will not advise

student clubs. Faculty members will not conduct fieldwork/research with students. They will not write letters of recommendation. They will not respond to campus email. “Faculty members will not receive pay or benefits.” PASSHE’s current contract offer would last about three years, said Marshall. The most recent contract will offer the union about $159 million in pay raises if they agree to cut costs and accept healthcare changes. “[PASSHE] keeps on going to the press saying how much they’re offering us, but they leave out the degree for which they are asking for give-backs from the faculty, which would heavily negate any increases that we would get,” Mash said. Binding and non-binding arbitration have been brought to the table, according to Marshall. PASSHE’s motion for unbinding arbitration, when an arbitrator makes a proposal of rights while no enforceable arbitration is required, was denied by the Labor Board.

They were not willing to agree to binding arbitration, which requires both parties to agree to an independent arbitrator’s decision. Both parties have been advising students what to do in the event of a strike. PASSHE has asked students to report to their classes in the event of a strike. APSCUF’s student section of its website urges students to contact their legislators and PASSHE Chancellor Frank Brogan. There is evidence of student involvement on APSCUF’s Facebook feed and also student-started Facebook groups formed to relay information to fellow students. APSCUF held a regularly scheduled legislative assembly in which they participated in strike workshops over the weekend. These workshops consisted of information regarding union solidarity, student engagement, organization and mobilization, picket logistics and legal aspects. Workshops were led by both APSCUF members and members of other labor unions.

IUP student to join Johnstown Symphony By STEPHANIE BACHMAN

Coming to IUP completely changed my life.

Staff Writer S.L.Bachman2@iup.edu

Destinee Beaufort (senior, music) was recently awarded a bass trombone position in the Johnstown Symphony. In addition to her position in the Johnstown Symphony, Beaufort has played in Hershey Park’s traveling trombone quintet and the U.S. Army National Guard Band. She currently performs in the National Guard Band. “It’s always been my dream to play for an orchestra, and I’ve never really believed that I was good enough, especially right now,” Beaufort said. “I still know I’m not at the level I’d need to be at to audition for one of the major orchestras. However, this is a fantastic first step in the right direction.” Beaufort said she didn’t apply for the position when she first saw the posting because she was focusing more on tuba at the time and didn’t think she was good enough to get the position. However, with encouragement from her trombone professor, Dr. Christian Dickinson, she applied. Beaufort said the audition process consisted of sending in her resume and detailing everything she had previously played and her other experiences. She was called back for a blind, live audition, where she played five orchestral excerpts and a solo piece. After graduation, Beaufort said she plans to continue playing for the National Guard Band and Johnstown Symphony Orchestra. She also said she would love

to hire a pianist to record her solo work for competitions, including one upcoming competition in November. Beaufort offered some advice to undergraduate students, especially anyone who is unsure about what to do next in their life. “Never settle for something that doesn’t make you happy, because you never know what could happen,” Beaufort said. “If I never left my last college and found IUP, not only would I have not found my talent in bass trombone, but I also wouldn’t have had all of these incredible

opportunities, and I wouldn’t have met my husband. “Coming to IUP completely changed my life. It’s crazy where life can take you when you follow your dreams and work hard.” Beaufort also expressed thanks to the people who supported her over the years and helped her get where she is today: Dr. Dickinson; her first trombone teacher, Mr. Cliff Girard; and her previous instructor from her last college, Mr. Todd Hunter. She said she still stays in touch with them, and they continue to support her and encourage her today.

Memorial service to be held

September is Suicide Prevention Awareness Month By ANGIE PRENCIPE Staff Writer A.V.Prencipe@iup.edu

In accordance with September being National Suicide Prevention Awareness month, IUP will be holding a memorial service in remembrance of those who have taken their own lives. A candlelight vigil will take place at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the Oak Grove. Any student can dedicate a candle to someone in their life whom they lost to suicide. The event is sponsored by Active Minds, an nonprofit organization that increases awareness about mental health issues on college campuses. The service will feature a variety

of speakers from Active Minds and the community, including IUP President Michael A. Driscoll. Following the speakers, there will be an open-microphone session for anyone wishing to share stories of someone they lost or to share a poem or song. Although this is the first year a candlelight vigil service will be held at IUP for this purpose, Active Minds is hoping for a large turnout. Previous events hosted by the group have resulted in big turnouts as well as judgement-free environments. Active Minds’ main goal of this service is to raise awareness for mental illnesses. There are stereotypes and stigmas attached to mental illness, and Active Minds works to break down those barriers.

“It is very important that we educate students on campus and the community about mental illnesses because of the wide misconception and misunderstanding of them,” said Korey Dailey (senior, biology education), co-president of Active Minds. Dailey believes that many people do not seek help when battling mental illnesses as a result of these stigmas. “A lot of students also don’t know the resources available to them on campus, so we try to advertise them at our events in case there is someone who needs their services,” Dailey said. Students are encouraged to attend the event to listen to speakers, offer support for each other and write the names or initials of loved ones lost or something kind

about another person. Samantha Estlow, secretary of Active Minds, said she feels that holding a memorial service for those who have lost a loved one to suicide is an important event for a

campus to hold. “We need to let people know and understand there are people there for them,” she said. “People will listen and understand them, and they are not alone.”

El Salvador president credits U.S. with drop in homicides By FRANCO ORDONEZ

McClatchy Washington Bureau TNS

One of the most violent nations in the world credited the United States with helping improve security and cut homicides by 50 percent this year. The president of El Salvador, Salvador Sanchez Ceren, shared the progress with Vice President Joe Biden at a Sept. 23 security and migration forum with the presidents of Honduras and Guatemala at the Inter-American Development Bank. “Operation Jaque resulted in the July arrest of 78 individuals and the seizure of real estate properties, 178 vehicles and over 600 bank accounts,” Sanchez said as part of a joint statement of the presidents released by the White House. Facing a surge of migrants fleeing the region, the Obama admin-

istration has pledged to work with the three nations to fight violence and strengthen their judicial systems. The Obama administration has worked with Congress to secure $750 million for economic development and fighting poverty and violence. The money has been used as part of a variety of programs to try to lower the violence and boost economic opportunities. The president of Guatemala, Jimmy Morales, said his government has adopted new methods to combat tax evasion and dismantle criminal organizations. In Honduras, President Juan

Orlando Hernandez said his government continues to build the National Police force that is combating human trafficking and smuggling organizations. El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala are three of the most violent nations in the world. Each is in the top 10 for homicide rates, according to the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime. Advocates have credited the work being done in Central America but criticized the Obama administration as not doing enough in the United States. The administration has launched several refugee programs, but advocates say those efforts are small in comparison with enforcement measures the administration has taken against Central American migrants. Last year, 32 percent of U.S. deportations were to the region, including 33,000 people deported to Guatemala, 21,000 to El Salvador and 20,000 to Honduras.

Writing center offers Fright Night tickets for spooky stories By NICOLETTE QUERRY and ALEXANDRIA MANSFIELD the-penn@iup.edu

The IUP Kathleen Jones White Writing Center is giving away two seats on the bus to Kennywood’s Phantom Fright Nights for the winner of its Halloween writing contest. The prompt challenges writers to “tell us all about the weirdest or most interesting Halloween you’ve experienced in a couple sentences,” according to the writing center’s Facebook page. Kane Rowland (senior, marketing), communications coordinator for the writing center, developed this contest and had some tips for those interested in entering. “First, I would recommend to students that they shouldn’t be shy about sharing their stories on the contest,” he said. “In my eyes, every story has had its own personality and they are fun to read. Plus, if you enter the contest, you have the chance to win seats on the Phantom Fright Night Bus Trip.” As communications coordinator, Rowland said his job has provided him with an opportunity to broaden his experience. “With this job at the writing center, it was a great opportunity to dive into communications work, which is more differentiated experience for me moving forward after graduation,” he said. Students can find the submission page by clicking on the center’s post about the contest or typing in the URL: goo.gl/hxGq84. Several submissions are already on the page, and voting has begun. “If you check out the contest, there are some very interesting stories posted,” Rowland said. “Seeing the stories students have posted has been my favorite part about the contest.” The story that earns the most votes will win the contest.

pants must be following the writing center’s Facebook or Twitter page. The contest winner will be chosen Oct. 21, said Melissa Lutz, secretary of the writing center. The voting will close earlier that same day. STATIC, the IUP Student Activity Committee, is hosting the Kennywood trip and provided the tickets for the contest, Lutz said. The trip will take place Friday, Oct. 28. The bus will leave IUP at 4:30 p.m. that day and leave Kennywood at midnight. “I came up with the contest as a way to engage the writing center with students on campus,” Rowland said. “I wanted the contest to incorporate the Halloween theme since Halloween is fast approaching.” Lutz said they also hoped to promote the writing center. “We wanted to spread some awareness of the writing center and get students across campus engaged with the writing center,” Lutz said. “I’m hoping students will enjoy sharing their story with us and with other IUP students,” Rowland said. “I also hope students will enjoy reading other stories that are posted on the Facebook page. “My goal for the contest is to spur interaction between students and the writing center.”

iPhone 7 offers modest updates By TROY WOLVERTON The Mercury News TNS

Apple’s new iPhone 7 devices are no breakthroughs. The midsize iPhone 7 and the jumbo-sized iPhone 7 Plus look much the same as last year’s versions. In fact, they look little different from the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus of two years ago. The new phones work much the same way too. And while they have some cool new tweaks, they don’t have any real must-have new features. They also offer a pair of drawbacks that you’ll want to consider before purchasing them. The most significant update in either of the new iPhone 7 models is the new dual-lens camera system in the Plus version. In addition to the wide-angle lens that Apple has long used for its iPhone camera systems, that device now has, right to the side of it, a second zoom lens. If you tap on a virtual button in the iPhone’s Camera app, you

can switch over to that lens and zoom in twice as close as with the regular camera lens. The zoom lens on the iPhone 7 Plus is easy to use and works great. I tested it out shooting pictures of flowers in my front yard and my dog sitting on a bed. The pictures looked sharp. It’s not going to offer you anything close to the zooming capability that you’d get from a true telephoto lens on a high-end camera, but it’s a big improvement. Apple plans to offer a software update in coming months that will give the zoom lens the ability to detect the distance of objects in your pictures and, knowing that, to blur out what’s in the background. The resulting pictures should look like those you might take with one of those high-end cameras. The only disappointing thing about the zoom lens is that Apple is only offering it on the Plus model, not the regular-sized iPhone 7. The other big change with the iPhone 7 models is that they are the first of Apple’s smartphones to be water and dust-resistant. Accord-

The iPhone 7 has minor modifications, including a new set of headphones.

ing to Apple, they are compliant with a standard called IP67. Apple says the new phones are waterresistant to 1 meter – about 3 feet – for up to 30 minutes. That won’t allow you to take them snorkeling, but should provide some needed reassurance that your phone won’t be fried if you get thrown in the pool with it in your pocket or you accidentally drop it in the toilet. The new phones offer some other long-needed upgrades. For example, Apple says it’s bumped

up the battery life on both phones by an hour or more. Apple also is offering more storage space at the same price as earlier models. The base iPhone 7 models now come with 32 gigabytes of storage, up from 16 gigabytes. And the top-of-the-line versions include 256 gigabytes, up from 128 gigabytes. With all the photos, music, apps and more that we’re storing on our phones these days, more space is always welcome. What isn’t so welcome are a couple of other changes. The one that’s generated the most controversy is the removal of the headphone jack. While Apple is including an adapter with the new phones that will allow users to plug older headphones into them, that adapter is small and easy to lose. And it’s just going to be a pain to have to have it plugged in all the time just to use older headsets or to connect your phone to older car audio systems. While Apple is also providing a pair of headphones that will

plug into the phones’ Lightning charging port, it isn’t providing an adapter so that you can plug them into a headphone jack. So unless you buy an adapter on your own, you won’t be able to use them with even a Mac laptop, much less just about any other non-Apple device out there. Apple also decided to replace the old mechanical home button with a new electronic one. Instead of actually depressing when you press down on it, like the old one did, the new one vibrates to simulate a press. While you can adjust the sensation so that it’s stronger or weaker, it isn’t feel like a real button. It’s possible over time that those high-tech features will outweigh the loss of the analog ones they’re replacing. On balance, though, the new features and updates the iPhone 7 models offer are compelling, if modest. If you’re in the market for a new iPhone anyway, you won’t be disappointed by the new phone. But if you can wait, you won’t be missing out on much.

‘Modern’ families struggle more financially than traditional ones, study says By WALTER HAMILTON Los Angeles Times TNS

Nontraditional families, such as those headed by single parents or same-sex couples, are in far worse financial shape than conventional households headed by married heterosexuals with children, according to a new study. Nontraditional families fare much worse across a variety of measures, including their ability to save money for emergencies and their own sense of economic wellbeing, according to the survey by insurance company Allianz. Nearly half of so-called modern families, for example, live paycheck to paycheck. That compares with 41 per-

cent of conventional households, according to the survey. Only three in 10 nontraditional households have a high degree of confidence in their financial wellbeing versus 41 percent for their conventional counterparts. Only 19.6 percent of U.S. households are composed of married heterosexual couples with children, down from the 40.3 percent in 1970, according to Allianz. Aside from same-sex couples and single-parent homes, Alllianz defined nontraditional families as those with three or more generations living under one roof; blended families in which at least one parent has a child from a prior relationship; older parents with young children; or parents whose adult children live with them.

Why objective moderators are important to political debates

Last night, two fierce, trash-talking, badly bruised rivals went head-to-head in a brutal battle for domination. For those of you who were busy watching the Saints and Falcons square up in Monday Night Football, there was another battle to behold. Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump had their first one-on-one debate last night, moderated by NBC Nightly News’ Lester Holt. While most of the focus was ultimately placed on the two candidates who were debating, Holt played a key role in how the battle of words played out. Moderators must be overly prepared to dish out a controversial line of questioning, but that is not the only part of the debate Holt must have been prepared for. Projecting a completely unbiased persona in a moderator’s chair is no easy task. Add in two wildly different candidates – and both of their cult-like followers – who will stop at nothing to be the one swearing in on Inauguration Day, that difficult task has turned into an impossible one. NBC Today’s Matt Lauer took on this duty (and failed) while moderating two back-to-back interviews with Clinton and Trump at NBC’s Commander-in-Chief forum last week. Lauer grilled Clinton on topics including Benghazi and her use of a personal email server, interrupting the Democratic candidate several times throughout the interview.

What we’re thinking about

EDITORIAL

For Trump, however, Lauer allowed the candidate to slide on the wild claim that he vocally opposed the war in Iraq, and failed to press the GOP nominee on his ties to Putin and the Russian government. Lauer’s performance even earned the hashtag #Laueringthebar among Twitter users piling on the Today host’s poor moderating skills. Along with the preceding requirements, a good moderator must have a crack team of fact-checkers on standby to not only copyedit every phrase that leaves a candidate’s mouth, but to back up any line of questioning the moderator may bring to the table. Last October’s CNBC GOP debate moderator, Becky Quick, is the first example of poor fact-checking to come to mind. Her questions were poorly researched and lacked information for substantial follow-ups. These were exampled in Quick’s attempt to trigger Trump into trash-talking Facebook founder, Mark Zuckerberg. “You have been very critical of Mr. Zuckerberg, of Facebook,” said Quick. “I have not been at all critical of him,” Trump said. Quick responded with, “Where did I read this and come up with this then?” “I don’t know. You people write this stuff,” Trump said. Holt undertook a job that is not scrutinized unless the job is done poorly. By the time this article is read, everyone in America will know how Holt held up during the vicious political battle last night. It is only my hope that all went well for the moderator, and for a humorous hashtag about Holt to never exist.

It’s amazing to me how many students at PASSHE schools are either completely unaware of the potential strike or are hoping that it happens so they get a break from school. If this is you, please educate yourself about what APSCUF is fighting against and what a strike would mean for students – especially those hoping to graduate in December or May. This is an important issue that directly affects us and could heavily impact the future of higher education.

Aside from ceramic art, Pearce also paints natural, organic scenes.

Ceramics student crystalizing the art scene at IUP By JEREMY STOUT Staff Writer J.W.Stout@iup.edu

Xiubo Cui Pearce (senior, art education and art history) is an exemplary artist who specializes in ceramics but whose talent goes beyond that. In addition to her studies, she also works in the ceramics shop at the Robertshaw Building seven days a week. Before making her way to IUP, Pearce taught for five years in her native country, China, and also worked in industrial design. She said the design job wasn’t for her, so she quit after only one year.

She has many inspirations, but they don’t necessarily include any other sculptors. Pearce is drawn to sculpting because of her fondness for “the natural organic shapes” of the world, and because she enjoys working with her hands to create art. Pearce describes on her website that her influences in sculpting come from her native Chinese culture and Japanese culture. Pearce glazes all of her sculptures using a crystal–glazing method that she developed herself. “Do you see the crystals? This is

It’s all [my own] glazing recipe.” Pearce, however, has no intention of sharing that recipe with the world, saying that it’s a secret. She also said that even if she were to glaze every piece the same way by hand, the pieces would be different because “every fire is different.” This lends to a sense of wonder in exactly how the end product will look. Pearce’s website says her goal in

sculpting is to “unite 2D painting with 3D ceramics.” “Every work often consists of multiple skills,” she said. This process is time-consuming and doesn’t allow for much free time. “I never have a vacation,” Pearce said. “Even Saturday and Sunday, I still work.” In addition to ceramics, Pearce is a talented painter who uses vibrant colors and backgrounds to make her figures pop off the canvas. Pearce describes her inspirations for painting on her website. “My later paintings were

Alice Cooper ‘shock rocked’ the house Saturday night By TORI STROMBERG Staff Writer T.J.Stromberg@iup.edu

The Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex was filled with fans of all ages Saturday night to see the legendary Alice Cooper. Fans were lining up at the doors promptly at 6 p.m., and the line continued to grow all the way up until showtime. As fans entered the KCAC, they had a choice to purchase Cooper T-shirts and other memorabilia before heading to their seats. The stage was lit in a way that everyone was able to see the curtain towering over the stage. The curtain featured Cooper’s haunting eyes and his famous running black eye makeup. Rocker dads and their sons could be seen all about as they aimed to experience a once-ina-lifetime opportunity. Fans were decked out in Cooper attire: tiedye, heavy makeup and top hats. The lights went dim and the sound of guitars overpowered the venue as the show began. The curtain fell and the band was playing “The Black Widow.” Finally, Cooper made his highly anticipated entrance. He appeared on the top of a flight of stairs draped in a black cloak with

pyrotechnics surrounding him. He stood at the front of the stage as cheers engulfed the arena. His stage was set up with a toy box filled with eerie props such as baby doll heads, a hula-hoop and a guillotine. Cooper constantly brought out different props from his toy box for almost every song. He underwent at least 15 wardrobe changes while his band showed off its skills. The show was filled with five-minute drum solos and guitar solos while the stage was being set for upcoming songs. Cooper’s theatrics did not disappoint. There were dancing life-sized baby dolls, zombie nurses and, during his hit song “Frankenstein,” a 12-foot Frankenstein monster emerged on stage. Cooper sang all the songs his fans wanted to hear such as “Mister Nice Guy,” “Frankenstein,” “Poison” and “School’s Out for Summer.” As Cooper approached the end of the show, he paid tribute to three musicians who have passed recently: Keith Moon, drummer for The Who, David Bowie and Lemmy Kilmister, vocalist for Motörhead. Fans cheered as flags came down in remembrance of each musician. See more photos of concert on page 17.

and overcome limiting stereotypes so that everyone, regardless of gender, race, class, age, sexual orientation or circumstance, can fulfill their human potential,” according to the website.

‘The Divine Feminine’:

Mac Miller brings back aggressive style in new album By SAMANTHA BELL Staff Writer S.M.Bell@iup.edu

Mac Miller’s new album “The Divine Feminine,” released Sept. 16, is a romanticized, raw trip through the trials and tribulations of the Pittsburgh native’s complex relationships with women. With features from major stars such as Ty Dolla Sign and Ariana Grande, the album is packed full of hit-worthy singles that reveal Miller as a confused yet hopeful romantic. The album opens with “Congratulations,” a four-minute track that may be the most uncensored portrayal of Miller’s love life he

has ever released. “You’re too divine to just be mine,” raps Miller over a gentle piano. Next, Miller leads listeners into another layer of his love issues with the

breakup-song single “Dang!” featuring Anderson .Paak. This track leads listeners through a rocky relationship that leaves the rapper almost pleading over a peppy beat.

“‘Dang!’ is without a doubt the best song on the album,” Ashley Salemno (junior, criminology) said. Miller really pushes the limits on his vocal abilities throughout the album and puts his forthright, at-your-throat, aggressive rapping style on a shelf. Whether he is harmonizing with Grande on “My Favorite Part” or belting verses throughout “Cinderella” with Ty Dolla Sign, Miller has redefined his style by replacing the jam-packed lyrical bars fans have to come to expect with a softer, sensual style. “This album is definitely a different style for Mac, but it was a much-needed 76948 switch-up,” Courtney Deems (junior, communications media) said.

Local IUP band ‘Bearfoot Neighbors’ has stayed together since high school By RENEÉ WILLIAMSON Staff Writer R.A.Williamson@iup.edu

IUP students Brett Kimmel (senior, philosophy) and Charlie Thompson (senior, philosophy) have been playing together in their folk band, The Bearfoot Neighbors, since their high school days. Kimmel (vocalist, banjoist and guitarist) and Charlie (guitarist, vocalist and harmonicist) play alongside drummer Alex Thompson, Charlie’s brother. “I was always into music,” Charlie said. “Ever since fourth grade I was in band playing tenor saxophone. I was playing shows. Me and my brother, we were doing acoustic things.” Kimmel started playing with Alex and Charlie after meeting Charlie at Apollo– Ridge High School in Latrobe. The Bearfoot Neighbors incorporate punk-rock, folk and beach genres into their music, Charlie said.

“We’re approaching it from an angle that I don’t know if too many people are approaching music yet from this angle,” Charlie said. “We’re combining genres that I think match really well.” They also play covers that range from the

1950s to today, Charlie said. The Bearfoot Neighbors played their first Hard Rock Café show Dec. 30 in Pittsburgh. “They brought us in one day as an opening act, and we ended up breaking records for

ticket sales,” Charlie said. “They were like, ‘We’d love to have you guys back and be the headline,’ and were like, ‘Absolutely.’ Then we went back as a headliner and we packed it full again and it was a great time.” The Bearfoot Neighbors first headlined at the Pittsburgh Hard Rock Café Feb. 24. “They sent us the tickets and there’s the tickets with our name in these big letters on there, and it’s like holy crap,” Kimmel said. “It was really exciting.” “I usually don’t get nervous about shows,” Charlie said. “So many of our friends were in the crowd just like we were at home. At the Hard Rock, it’s cool too because you can get a little buzz going because they serve alcohol. It really cuts all the nerves right in half.” “We just got up there and destroyed,” Kimmel said. “All of our friends were in the crowd. Some of them know the words to some of our songs and that was a real blast. Just jamming for all your friends just like you do at home, but you get paid to do it and you’re up on a stage.” “Not to mention the people that opened up for us were right up our alley,” Charlie said. “All folk-rock kind of bands. It was really cool.” Their next show at the Hard Rock Café will be at 7 p.m. Nov. 3. The Bearfoot Neighbors have material for an album but they are waiting for the time and money to produce it, Charlie said. “We’re definitely working our way there,” Charlie said. “We definitely have the material for it and the ambition for it. It’s just making the time for it and having the money for it at this point.” Charlie talked about where he wants to be with the band in the future. “I would love to be at Red Rocks (a Colorado amphitheater) playing with Mumford & Sons and The Avett Brothers,” Charlie said. “But for now I’m still OK with just playing local shows with the band and bringing all our friends in and having a good time.” The Bearfoot Neighbors will be playing Thursday, Oct. 6, in the Hadley Union Building Ohio Room. There are expected to be four bands present at the event. Each band will be made up of IUP students. Tickets are priced at $5 with doors opeining at 6 p.m.

Philadelphia dominates Pittsburgh in battle for Keystone State By JARROD BROWNE Lead Sports Writer J.W.Browne@iup.edu

In one of the biggest matchups of Week 3 in the NFL – and particularly the residents of Pennsylvania – the Pittsburgh Steelers traveled to take on the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday afternoon. The contest was not what experts and most fans FOOTBALL had predicted. Philadelphia, led by a rookie head coach and quarterback, blew out Pittsburgh by a score of 34-3. The Steelers’ troubles began when wide receiver Markus Wheaton dropped his first of three dropped balls on a 36-yard pass that bounced off his chest in the end zone for a potential opening score. Following the dropped pass, the Eagles blocked a 36-yard field goal attempt to keep the Steelers off the scoreboard until the second quarter. Philadelphia’s defense found a way to shut down Pittsburgh’s starstudded offense, holding Pittsburgh to 251 total yards and limiting them to just a field goal. Pressure on Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, who was sacked four times and fumbled during the rout, was the key for the Eagles to slow Pittsburgh down. Philadelphia also intercepted Roethlisberger later in the game, adding their second turnover. On the other side of the ball, Philadelphia’s offense proved to

be as impressive as they have been through the first two weeks of the season. For Pittsburgh, the struggles continued in the pass-rushing department as they entered Sunday’s showdown only registering one sack as a team. That statistic would not change as Eagles rookie quarterback Carson Wentz was hardly touched and showed even more poise and ability against what many have called a solid defensive unit for Pittsburgh. Wentz was 23 for 31 passing and threw for two touchdowns and 300 yards for the first time in his career. He has yet to throw an interception in any of his first three games. Not only is Wentz winning games for the Eagles, but he is surpassing rookie performances from some of the recent NFL greats. According to ESPN, Wentz broke Tom Brady’s record for most passes to begin a career without an interception, with 82. Wentz is also the first rookie quarterback to lead his team to a 3-0 record since Mark Sanchez did it in 2009 for the Jets. Sanchez ended up leading the Jets to the AFC Championship Game that season. Pittsburgh, on the other hand, was extremely frustrated with its play. “It was a poor performance by us,” coach Mike Tomlin said in a post-game news conference. “I tip my cap to them, but I acknowledge some areas that are showing a pattern of inconsistency or a pattern of undesirable performance.” Although Steelers fans are worried about their overall performance, a positive is the strong play of All-Pro wideout Antonio Brown, who had 12 receptions for 140

yards in the contest. Additionally, running back Le’Veon Bell will return in Week 4, and Pittsburgh hopes that he could be the spark plug the offense needs to perform at a high level again. As for the defense, the Steelers face an uphill battle after losing safety Robert Golden as well as linebackers Lawrence Timmons and Ryan Shazier to injuries. All have been declared doubtful for Week 4. Pittsburgh will look to fix the problems they showed Sunday when they head into their Week 4 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, who are coming off a big win courtesy of their defense. The Chiefs intercepted Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick six times Sunday. Philadelphia will hope to keep its momentum going with its 3-0 start and carry it through a Week 4 bye until they travel to Detroit and Washington in Weeks 5 and 6.

Volleyball back on track, wins opening two matches in PSAC play By JED JOHNSON Staff Writer J.N.Johnson3@iup.edu

The Crimson Hawks volleyball team improved its record to 11-2 and 2-0 in conference play by defeating the Kutztown University of Pennsylvania Golden Bears at home Friday night three sets to one, and East Stroudsburg University of Pennsylvania on Saturday afternoon in straight sets. IUP head coach Scott Pennewill said that the team improved in certain areas VOLLEYBALL after its loss against the University of Charleston last week. “The ability to play in the moment – again, what happened in the past is irrelevant to what we’re doing right now,” Pennewill said. “The thing we needed tonight was a team effort – you know, when players may not be having the best game, [then] it’s next man up, and we’ve got to be able to fix and execute the game plan. That’s what we ended up doing tonight.” Lily McWilliams (senior, nutrition and dietetics) said that the biggest factor in the win was sticking to the game plan. “We really focused in what we needed to fix coming off Tuesday’s loss, and we worked on those in practice to play up to a higher level tonight,” McWilliams said. IUP won the first set, 25-18, before dropping the second set, 2522. They rebounded in the third set, 25-17, before winning the final set 26-24. Jessica Ignace (freshman, nursing) scored 2.5 points in her first collegiate match, including the game-winning kill in the third set. Coach Pennewill said that Ignace has improved since joining the Crimson Hawks’ program. “She’s just begun to learn the game at this level, and her play

tonight has been a result of her getting better since she’s arrived,” Pennewill said. “I always teach in sports psychology that we limit ourselves a lot of times. If these kids let go of that, there’s no stopping them. [Ignace] is starting to see and keep up with the speed, and be able to put herself in good volleyball situations.” There was a delay in the third set that lasted roughly five to 10 minutes due to confusion about a Kutztown substitution. However, Pennewill said it didn’t affect his team’s game plan. “Anytime there’s what we call ‘dead air,’ there’s a mental toughness that teams have to have at that point,” Pennewill said. “Again, stay focused on, ‘This is what we’re going to do,’ and everything we do supports that.” Natalie Cignetti (junior, natural sciences) said that Pennewill has utilized practice sessions to prepare them for the unexpected. “Oftentimes, in practice, he’ll even pause a drill for five minutes at a time to throw us off our game and get the server cold, but we’ve trained for this so we were ready this time around,” Cignetti said.

“I think we gained even more momentum on our side after it.” The Crimson Hawks outhit the Golden Bears and recorded 55 kills

in the contest. Alexis Anderson (junior, marketing) led IUP with a seasonhigh 20 kills, her highest singlegame kill total since a match against Lock Haven University in October 2015. “She’s been – since the beginning of the season – progressively improving,” Pennewill said. “What you saw tonight is a summary of the work she’s been putting in. She’ll be the first one to tell you that it’s her teammates every day in practice that’s been pushing her to get better. “We’ve created a very competitive practice environment, so players that are good now have the ability to become great.” Cignetti recorded 17 kills in the contest, her ninth doubledigit kill outing of the 2016 campaign. Anderson led the Crimson

Hawks with a career-high five aces. Cignetti had three aces on the night, tying a season-high. On Saturday, the Crimson Hawks out-killed the Warriors, 42-26. McWilliams and Cignetti led IUP in kills with 11 and 10, respectively. Elora Pittman (sophomore, psychology) led the team with six blocks against the Warriors. The Crimson Hawks are in a four-way tie in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Southwest division, with each team sporting 2-0 conference records. However, the Crimson Hawks are at the top in terms of overall record. IUP will travel to southeastern Pennsylvania this week with conference games at West Chester University of Pennsylvania on Friday evening at 7 p.m., Cheyney University of Pennsylvania on Saturday afternoon at 1 p.m. and a non-conference game Saturday evening at Chestnut Hill College in Philadelphia at 7 p.m.

Field hockey’s win streak snapped in loss to Millersville By MATT STAUB

IUP football team remains undefeated

Staff Writer M.A.Staub@iup.edu

The IUP field hockey team fell short Saturday against No. 4 Millersville University of Pennsylvania by a score of 3-1. The game began Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) play for the Crimson Hawks. Millersville now moves to 6-1 on the season while IUP falls to 4-3. The Crimson Hawks had entered the game Saturday having won three in a row and were starting to build some momentum. IUP held Millersville scoreless in the first half thanks to goalie Alyssa Lerda (senior, earth/space science) recording two saves. IUP was unable to counter, not even registering a shot in the entire first half. In the second half, Millersville scored three straight goals before the Crimson Hawks were able to respond when Amber Bailey (senior, psychology) scored

her first goal of the season at the 59:25 mark. “I was on my way back to defend after an unsuccessful corner when we recovered the ball and I reentered the circle to a loose ball that I flicked into the net,” Bailey said. “It felt good to to finally get on the board and earn my first goal of the season.” Millersville outshot IUP, 16-3, and they held the edge in penalty corners, 12-3. “I think if we finish on more

corners, we can score more,” Bailey said. “There’s been countless games where we have had seven or more corners, and if we actually capitalized on those, we’d have a lot more goals.” IUP has an away rematch against Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania. IUP was defeated 1-0 in overtime at George P. Miller Stadium during the previous matchup with the Red Raiders.

One week at a time, one game at a time, one play at time. It’s a mantra many football coaches at all levels preach each day. For the IUP football team, it looks like all of the off-season work and dedication is paying off. For the third-straight week, the Crimson Hawks eclipsed the 50-point barrier as they defeated the previously unbeaten Edinboro University of Pennsylvania Fighting Scots, 56-28. FOOTBALL IUP led 42-0 at halftime, and almost all of E d i n b o r o ’s scoring plays came in the fourth quarter in what was essentially a finished game. The No. 9 Crimson Hawks continued to prove they are dangerous on the ground and through the air, collecting 335 rushing yards and 250 passing yards. The rushing attack was once again the main cog in this welloiled machine, as Samir Bullock (freshman, management), Lenny Williams (redshirt sophomore, accounting) and Drew Harris (redshirt junior, sociology) all scored

two touchdowns each. Bullock once again led the Hawks in rushing with a seasonhigh 153 yards. The freshman has been one of the many bright spots out of the backfield so far this season. Entering the year, Chris Temple (junior, accounting), was thought to be a big part of a dynamic rushing attack. So far, Bullock leads the team in carries, with Temple only recording three on Saturday. Williams added 69 yards on the ground to his 207 passing. A large amount of those yards went to Walt Pegues (junior, communications media) on seven catches. For the Crimson Hawk defense, defensive back Jay Watkins (redshirt junior, kinesiology) led the way with eight total tackles. Myles Catlin (senior, kinesiology) and Takhi Turner (junior, kinesiology) each recorded four tackles, as well. Ackeno Robertson (redshirt senior, accounting) recorded his third interception of the year. Jordan Diven (redshirt junior, finance and legal studies) also had a sack for the third-straight game. IUP faces Seton Hill University (3-1, 0-1) for its home opener at 1 p.m. Saturday.

The IUP’s women’s tennis team competed at the ITA Regional Championships at Mercyhurst University over the weekend. DAY 1 Saturday TENNIS Jarka Petercakova (senior, interior design), Raquel Gonzalez (senior, business management) and Luise von Agris (junior, international business) made up three of the top four seeds in the singles bracket and received byes. Rachel Wood (senior, criminology), who was also a top eight seed, and Sophie Butland (senior, exercise science) also received opening round byes. All five Crimson Hawks won their first matches. Newcomer Ekaterina Minchenkova (freshman, undeclared business) won a pair of matches, defeating Tiffany Kollah of Slippery Rock, 2-6, 6-0, 10-8, as well as Toni Kapita of Charleston, 6-4, 7-5. Mariana Valenzuela (freshman, cell and molecular biology) and Annie Neurohr (freshman, early childhood/special eduacation) each lost first round matches, putting them in the consolation bracket where they both won their first matches.

DAY 2 - Sunday Luise von Agris advanced to the semifinals of the main singles bracket on the second day. She opened up play with a three-set comeback victory over Adina Spahalic of Mercyhurst , 1-6, 7-6 (4), before taking down West Chester’s Claire Uhl, 6-3, 6-4, in the quarterfinals. Other singles action for the Crimson Hawks: Ekaterina Minchenkova advanced, 6-4, 6-4 over West Chester’s Maddy Shaak before losing a 6-3, 6-1 decision in the quarterfinals. Valenzuela advanced all the way to the championship of the consolation bracket, pulling off three victories. However, she fell in the title match. Annie Neurohr also fell in her consolation match. DAY 3- Monday FINALS Dynamic duo Petercakova and von Agris won the doubles consolations bracket title. They defeated Elise Edwards and Kristine Gegeshidze of Charleston, 8-4, in doubles play. The duo placed second at last year’s ITA Championships. Also excelling in singles play, von Agris advanced to the championship bracket semifinals. She fell to Saoia Gomez of Mercyhurst, 6-0, 6-4. The Crimson Hawks will play in their final fall tournament next weekend at the 2016 PSAC Individual Championships at Bloomsburg, beginning Friday.

The Lock Haven University of Pennsylvania Bald Eagles soccer team traveled to Indiana on Wednesday with a record of 2-3 overall and 1-3 in Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) games, as IUP sat in fourth place in the conference with a 4-2 record. The Crimson Hawks took control from the start, taking an early 1-0 lead in the 13th minute after a goal Cassidy SOCCER from LeDonne (junior, applied mathematics) off a cross from Kristen Baumgartner (junior, biology). IUP quickly followed up with another first-half score, coming in the 40th minute off the foot of Kallie Conte (sophomore, safety science) and as-

sisted by Jenny Vietmeier (sophomore, business) that propelled the Crimson Hawks into the half with a 2-0 lead. IUP later added yet another score in the 83rd minute, as midfielder Gabrielle DeSousa (freshman, accounting) netted her first career goal off an assist from Brandie Bryant (junior, athletic training) to put the game out of reach in the waning moments of the game. The Crimson Hawks defense and goalie Jessica Printz (senior, athletic training) held off Lock Haven for the remainder of the game, notching Printz’s second shutout of the season. “Over the last few games, our communication has been good and we’ve been playing well as a unit,” Printz said. “Our midfield has been strong in helping us defend and the forwards have been successful with goals from multiple players.” The team had little time to rest as they returned to the IUP

South Campus Field on Thursday afternoon to compete in their third consecutive home game against Roberts Wesleyan College. Though this was a non-conference matchup, the game was significant as IUP was coming off two consecutive shutout victories and could have used their homefield advantage to carry their recent momentum forward. The Crimson Hawks’ dream of a thirdconsecutive shoutout was put to rest early, however, with Roberts Wesleyan striking first in the 22nd minute. IUP was unable to find an equalizer in this game, and after another goal from Roberts Wesleyan, IUP was defeated, 2-0. This was the first time the Crimson Hawks have been shut out since their 1-0 loss to Mercyhurst University Sept. 1 IUP is now 5-3 on the season and sit in fourth place in the PSAC. They will travel to Kutztown University Friday to take on the 4-2 Golden Bears.

All eyes were on Sweden and Team Europe Sunday as they played for a chance to meet Canada in the finals. These two went scoreless in the first, but the tie was broken in the second period. One goal apiece in the second and third periods would lead to an extra stanza. A bad defensive move left

Sweden goalie Henrik Lundqvist unprotected, giving up the game-winning goal to Team Europe which sent them to the final. The game-winner for Team Europe was scored by Tomas Tatar (Slovakia), which was his second of the game. The final will be a best-ofthree series between Team Europe and Team Canada. It will begin Tuesday night at the Air Canada Centre in Toronto. Both teams possess a plethora of NHL talent. Team Europe has powerful players in Anze Kopitar (Slovenia), Marian Gaborik (Slovakia) and the big defenseman Zdeno Chara (Slovakia). On the other side, Team Canada has talent at every position. With names like Shea Weber, Jonathan Toews, Corey Perry, Steven Stamkos and Crosby, it’s easy to see how deep this team really is.

Top 10 things we learned in college football this weekend By MATT MURSCHEL Orlando Sentinel TNS

Check out the top 10 things we learned during the college football weekend. 1. Time ran out on Les Miles. The LSU coach survived a late push from school officials and boosters who wanted him out last season, but a 2-2 start, the program's worst since 2005, spelled his doom and he was fired Sunday afternoon. 2. Ron Turner is out as well. Florida International reportedly parted ways with the 62-year-old coach after a disappointing 0-4 start to the season the program's worst start since 2013, Turner's first season. It was the first of what we can only assume will be many more coaching moves in 2016. 3. Notre Dame shakes up staff in an effort to salvage season. In the wake of a head-scratching 38-35 loss to Duke Saturday that dropped Notre Dame to 1-3 its worst start to a season since 2010. Brian Kelly fired defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder.

It was his first 100-plus yard game of the season and good news for an FSU team getting set to face North Carolina, Miami and Clemson this month. 6. Protests spill over into college ranks. It was only a matter of time before protests over police shootings of black men first led by 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick would make their way into the college football land scape.

Now all three have at least two losses and are buried in division cellars heading into October. 9. Wisconsin continues torrid run. The Badgers thoroughly dominated Michigan State from start to finish Saturday, handing Sparty its third conference loss in the past 25 Big Ten games. Wisconsin is climbing the rankings, but tough matchups against Michigan, Ohio State, Iowa and Nebraska loom. 10. October is a make-or-break month as conference play heats up. For teams like Louisville, Michigan, Clemson, Stanford, Tennessee, Washington and Wisconsin, the change of the calendar from September to October means key contests that could decide several different conference championship races.
