The Newman Book Sale returns for its 50th year at St. Thomas More University Parish on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. “This year we are selling tote bags on Sunday for $6 with a gold theme to them since 50th is gold, and you can fill the tote with books for free,” said Janet May, one of the co-chairs of the fundraiser. The book sale receives books contributed by Indiana community members and businesses, libraries, schools and other interest groups. It has 43 categories, with the biggest including history, religion, novels and children’s books. Hardbacks will be selling for $1, and paperbacks will go for 50 cents. “We also sell video games, games, vinyls, DVDs, cassettes,

puzzles and audiobooks,” said Crystal Deemer, another co-chair of the fundraiser. They receive around 100,000 books for the book sale and sell between half of the books or twothirds of them. Books that are not sold are donated to Better World Books and distributed around the world. Both Deemer and May said that they depend on the IUP students to help with their fundraiser, which is why the fundraiser was moved from April to September. The book sale takes place the third week of September, which will be this Friday, Saturday and Sunday. On Friday the sale will be held from 4 p.m. to 9 p.m., Saturday from 9 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Some sports teams volunteered to set up for the book sale, such as the freshman football team and men’s basketball team. Other

IUP organizations, like the honors college, use the book sale as an opportunity to obtain service hours. The book sale is the parish’s only fundraiser. It is used to help support the parish’s programs and services and provide a community event for Indiana. The parish screens the books to make sure they are not damaged, soiled, torn, coverless, spineless, damp or smelly. The parish also does not accept encyclopedias, videos and DVDs that were home recorded, magazines, travel guides, art prints or posters. St. Thomas More University Parish started out as the Newman Center and is the university presence for religion. The book sale is held at St. Thomas More, which is located at 1200 Oakland Avenue. There are books both inside and outside of the church on selling days.

Student workers keep IUP running smoothly EMILEE HOWELLS

Contributing Writer E.M.Howells@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

Student employment at IUP is the No. 1 activity here on campus, and it is crucial to keeping the college operating so smoothly. There are currently 136 new job postings around the campus at various offices, departments and programs. Jobs are part-time and can work around students’ schedules. Students are allowed to work up to 25 hours per week when the semester is in session, but during breaks, that number raises to 40 hours. Offices throughout campus remain open during the summer and over breaks, so students working on campus usually have a consistent schedule. Any student is encouraged to apply and has a chance to get real-life work experience and customer service skills. When applying for a job on campus, the first sentence of the application states something along the lines of “IUP is seeking applications from self-motivated students with initiative,” or “IUP is seeking applications from self-motivated students who are capable of maintaining confidentiality in a professional environment.” IUP offices and departments want students who can be trusted and are professional to represent

the university. On-campus jobs immerse you into real-life work experiences in which you learn professionalism, customer service skills and how to network with your faculty, staff and other students. Working on campus gives students insight into the university itself and allows them to form a different sense of community within IUP. Interacting with different people and establishing relationships with peers and faculty helps you grow as a professional. Jason Moomau (senior, nursing) has been working on campus for

more “structure to his schedule,” as well as also giving him “extra spending money.” Plowcha is not alone in wanting extra money to spend, as many students across campus get jobs like this for the same exact reason. College is expensive and having a job that can help cover some of those expenses helps tremendously. Although working on campus can have many beneficial factors, there are also some problems students face while on the job. During the semester, most students are swamped with school

Stephen Plowcha (freshman, safety science), who has just recently been employed by the university, said he enjoys his on-campus job because it gives

work and other priorities, and having a job on top of that can be a little overwhelming at times. “Having an on-campus job gives you less time to study and socialize,” Plowcha said. Students usually do not work the entirety of the day during the semester, as many on-campus jobs work around the student’s class schedule. Shelly Reefer (sophomore, criminology) commutes to IUP every day and said the only downside of her job is “having to work on class breaks” and “having to stay longer on campus.” Reefer usually takes morning classes and then heads straight to work for the rest of her day. Offices and departments almost always have student workers helping, and usually they are the first people to greet you as you enter. The semester can bring added stress to everyone throughout campus, and many student workers feel it in their offices as well. Managing work and studies is one of the key things about having an on-campus job that is essential, otherwise students might get defeated. There are always going to be pros and cons with any work environment you face, no matter if it is on campus or in the real world. On-campus jobs can be very beneficial to students as they continue to grow in academia, and this will set them up for when they graduate and start job searching on their own.

For a lot of people, the idea of being environmentally friendly is scary. But don’t worry. To make a difference, you don’t have to live in a 100-square-foot house and stop showering, unless you really want to. There are many small things that you can do to take those first steps into being eco-friendly. 1. Let’s start out really easy: get a house plant. These plants help clean the excess CO2 from your home and can even filter out other toxins that come from one thing or another. Not only does it help clean the air, but having a plant can brighten up a room and make you feel responsible for something. And even if you let it die because responsibility isn’t your thing, you can always buy another one without feeling too much remorse. 2. Another great way to be more conservative is to get a water purifier instead of buying filtered water in bottles from a store. Yes, these have some upfront costs, but there are knock-off brands that you can buy instead of Brita, and buying water bottles gets expensive. So reduce your plastic usage, and save some cash. 3. Procrastinate on doing the

laundry. Many of us already do this, but washing a full load rather than multiple small loads saves a lot of energy. Also, look at what water temperature you’re using when you put the load in. You may just get into the habit of pushing the “start wash” button on the washer, but most of the energy generated by a washing machine is from heating the water. So instead of using hot water, make sure the setting is on cold, unless you have a good reason for using warm water. This will lessen the energy used and cause less damage to the dyes of your clothes. This is hitting two birds with one stone. You’ll use less energy and not go through clothing as fast. 4. If you own a printer, start recycling the ink cartridges. Many stores, like Staples, will give you money or store credit for returning empty cartridges. We all know that ink is insanely expensive, so relieve some of that cost by getting paid to do the socially responsible thing. There are also many sites online that will reimburse you with money, though be careful, because some of these seem sketchy. I do not encourage you to send a bunch of ink cartridges or give information out to a company that claims they will pay you $20 per cartridge. Be smart about it.

September, Mother Nature bring catastrophe Get ready, because it is officially the worst season: hurricane season. September is usually a great time for weather. The summer humidity turns into relaxing 70-degree temperatures. Families are having that final cookout before it becomes too cold to cook on the grill. For many areas of the world, though, September is the most dangerous month of the year. People all over the world deal with harsh weather at some point throughout the year. The summer produces droughts and devastating thunderstorms. Tornados affect the middle and Eastern parts of the U.S. Wildfires destroy the West Coast. Asian countries like India and Bangladesh have monsoons. Monsoons are heavy rains that occur for several days at a time around July and August. These rains cause heavy flooding for low-laying areas. Droughts occur in warm areas. Africa and California are most affected by this. When September starts though, Mother Nature is at its most destructive time. Hurricanes have

started up, and it is just the beginning. This past week, Hurricane Florence ripped through the Carolinas, bringing floods throughout many areas. The damage has been immense, and the death toll will only grow, as people did not heed the warnings to evacuate. Last year Hurricane Harvey and Irma hit the southern part of the country. They also occurred during September. Not only are there hurricanes to deal with, but there was also Typhoon Mangkhut. Mangkhut tore through China and the Philippines. The heavy rains caused a landslide in the Philippines Monday. So why is September the worst month for weather? Simply because of the many storms that can occur during that time. People deal with the start of hurricane and typhoon season. These storms could cause flooding, which also damages many cities and towns. It is still warm enough to cause tornados in areas such as Kansas and Nebraska. And wildfires are still affecting the dry areas of California. For hurricanes, September has had four out of the 10 strongest

storms, according to Weather.com. Out of the four on the list, three make up spots two through four. No. 7 on the list, Hurricane Katrina, occurred on August 28, 2005, just three days before the start of the most dreaded season. As far as tornados go, on average there are 1,224 tornados per

year, according to UStornados. com. Out of that number, 66 tornados occur during September. Texas and Florida have the highest averages during that time. Wildfires continue to burn throughout the U.S. and have spread into Wyoming. So far more than 7 million acres have burned

since the start of the year. The only good thing to this season is that it shows the humanity in people who rush to the aid of those who need it.

The Week 4 burnout strikes KATIE MEST

Managing Editor K.A.Mest@iup.edu @katiemest

Get enough sleep. Don’t procrastinate. Practice self-care. Drink water. You get a lot of advice thrown at you when you start to have depressed-like attitudes. I think it’s safe to say that we’ve all been there. Let me be clear: “depressedlike” does not mean clinically depressed, nor does it mean suicidal. Sometimes the world gets to be too much. You take too many hard classes in a semester, or you take on an extra job in order to pay your rent. Maybe it’s the fourth week of school, and you just feel plain burnt out. I’m here to tell you that I feel that. I could type out everything that I have on my plate right now, but I’ll spare you the extra reading time. Basically, I’m the type of person that takes on too many tasks and breaks down when (surprise!) it’s more than I can handle. The most frustrating part is seeing students who seem to do everything and handle it with ease. They can maintain their perfect 4.0 GPAs and still walk around smiling all day. They can be members of this club and that sorority and still look like they had time to wash their hair and put makeup on this morning. Many times, though, I forget that they and I are not so different. Anyone can look put together on the outside. It’s the inside that holds self-doubt. If you are truly perfect and happy all the time, please email me your secret. I woke up Monday morning with a great attitude. I had my homework done a few days in advance, something I’ve learned I had to do since I spend every Monday and Thursday night here in The Penn office putting this paper together. I actually got eight hours of

sleep, which hasn’t happened in at least a week. I woke up with time to make coffee and enjoy breakfast before heading into a 10:10 a.m. class that was essentially just watching a movie. I was doing pretty good. Until I got a text asking where I was for the meeting I forgot I had scheduled (Whoops). And I got an email regarding another meeting I have to attend for my internship that I somehow have to squeeze into my already ridiculously busy Wednesday night. And my professor reminded me of the football game I have to cover for my sports journalism class. You’d think Saturday would have a fairly laid-back schedule, and this would be easy to fill in. Wrong. But then when I was checking social media between classes, I came across a Twitter thread by Portland mental health therapist Evan Dumas titled “How To Not Burn Out: Some tips.” I swear this guy was speaking right to me. I’m going to share some of my favorites with you in the hopes they can bring you some of the same comfort they brought me. 1.“Talk about what makes you feel stressed with a human who will listen with respect and understanding.” Talking about my problems isn’t exactly my strong suit. I tend to feel like I’m complaining or annoying whatever poor person made the mistake of asking me what’s wrong.

Even the counseling center, which definitely is a good resource, didn’t work for me. I left after two sessions feeling like I was too screwed up for going on by myself but not screwed up enough to have someone evaluate me. Luckily I have close group of family and friends that are only one phone call away and never mind my venting. 3. “Go slower.” Especially with technology, we are in a fast-paced world.

Email and cell phones have us on-call 24/7. I can’t write a paper on my laptop without being distracted every time I hear the ping of a new email. But just because you get an email doesn’t mean you need to respond immediately. You’re only human. You can only handle so much at once. 12. “Realize burnout is a systemic issue. Our work is breaking our hearts. Our ‘professionalism’ was first crafted by dudes with no emotional intelligence. Our jobs deny our humanity, and that causes burnout.” I’m just an innocent college junior, so I’m going to hold out on the hope that the job I eventually get will be one that I thoroughly enjoy. But the grunt work, the tasks you’re forced to do in the meantime to get to where you want to be, is in a word exhausting. I wake up in the morning and can feel the heaviness in my eyes as they fight to stay open. I battle my emotions when I get knocked

down a peg (or five) in my little daily failures. All the clubs and internships you took on in order to one day stand out among the rest of the job applicants are not the most important thing in your life right now. It can do a lot more harm than good if you don’t find time to step away. If you start struggling in classes, let your professors know ASAP so they can help you before you completely fall off track. Don’t wait until the exam to figure out you’re at the point of no return. Extra-curriculars are important, but don’t let them take away from your studies or your “you time.” Put your focus and energy into one that really piques your interest. Don’t let your work “deny your humanity.” Bring your emotion and personality into everything you do. Fight the burnout. It’s eat or be eaten out there. Take care.

Vote for your favorite pizza joint and try other pizzas, all while supporting a good cause, at the 2018 Best Slice of Indiana, presented by S&T Bank, from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday. The event will be held at the S&T Bank parking lot, 800 Philadelphia St. It is rain or shine. Participating restaurants that will be providing pizza are Bob’s Pizza, Bruno’s Italian Restaurant, Domino’s Pizza, Fox’s Pizza Den, Grubs Sports Bar, H.B. Culpeppers, Italian Village Pizza, Romeo’s Pizzeria, Steelworks, Tom’s Pizza and Venice Cafe. A ticket is required for entry into the event. Tickets are $20 for adults and $10 for children 4-12 years old. Children under 3 are admitted free. A ticket includes one tasting from each Indiana pizza participant, live music by local Pittsburgh band Told Ya So! and the opportunity to vote for the Best

Slice of Indiana. Told Ya So! is known for playing Top 40, dance, reggae, rock and R&B music. Tickets are available at the following S&T Bank locations: main office, Indian Springs Road, Fourth Street, Homer City, Saltsburg and Resort Plaza in Blairsville. Tickets can also be purchased in advance online at bestsliceofindiana2018.eventbrite.com. A basket raffle and 50/50 raffle tickets will be sold separately at the event. All proceeds will go to the Indiana County Community Action Program’s (ICCAP) Power Pack Program. The program provides meals to feed 700 hungry children in Indiana County’s 12 elementary schools. Each school year, the program provides 80,160 nutritious meals to feed students who cannot afford food on weekends. Children are provided with a weekend package of food that includes breakfast, lunch, dinner, snacks and drinks, according to the ICCAP website. The program is funded by donations of food from

corporate sponsors, local grocers, private contributions and volunteers from the community. “There are many children throughout Indiana County that go hungry,” Aimee Kemp, ICCAP food program director, said in a news release. “It’s important that we do our part to prevent this from happening.” Without donations from the public, these students can’t learn properly. “When they come to school Monday, it’s hard for them to focus … they don’t have energy,” Kemp said. The program “can’t continue without donations and help from our community.” Sponsors for the event include Delaney Automotive Group, Diamond Drugs, Kovalchick Corporation, S&T Bank, The Reschini Group, Aetna, Trek Development Group, PA State Representative Dave Reed, Senator Don White, McGuireWoods LLP and Jones Day. If you have any questions about the event, contact the ICCAP at (724) 465-2657.

Thrift, Rent, Save: Best ways to stretch your money at IUP LAITH ZURAIKAT

Staff Writer Laith.Zuraikat@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

This article contains opinion. As most college students are aware, there really is no such thing as a “free education.” Between tuition, fees, school supplies and books, not to mention rent and food, the cost of a college degree can really start to add up. While some people might find it easy to cut out spending money on non-essential items, at a certain point, even the most frugal of students can run out of things that they avoid buying. Luckily, there are lots of ways that students can save money on various essentials, be it on clothing, groceries or even entertainment to help stretch those precious dollars. With that in mind, here are a few helpful tips for how to save money while at IUP, because at the end of the day, we can all use a few extra bucks here and there.

Ways to save money on entertainment While certainly not essential, it is always nice to have the ability to take some time out to either go see a movie or rent the newest release and watch it at home. For those who are interested in checking out the latest screening

in theaters, the Indiana Mall movie theater offers a deal Mondays when all tickets are only $5 and come with a free junior popcorn. If you want to watch something at home, signing up for a Redbox Rewards membership may be the way to go. Not only will you get a free rental at some point, but if you’re willing to deal with the occasional advertisement email here and there, signing up for their email club will usually get you a coupon for $1.25 off a rental every Friday, which means a DVD only costs about 50 cents, and right in time for the weekend.

Ways to save money on clothes and other household items As anyone who has ever heard the Macklemore song can attest to, the thrift store can be a great spot to grab a rare find or get a fantastic deal. Indiana currently boasts three major thrift stores: the Salvation Army Store located near Big Lots and the YMCA, the lesser known Society of St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store located next to BiLo and Dairy Queen and the pick of the lot, and most familiar option, the Goodwill store located just up the hill from Papa Johns. While it is highly unlikely that you will find any fashion grails like an old-school Gucci shirt or Armani suit lying around the Indiana Goodwill, it can be a great place to pick up some funky decorations for your room, a random book

to fill up your free time or even some pots, pans and other kitchen essentials, all for a fraction of what they would cost new. If you are looking for a way to grab some more modern clothes at a discounted price though, it may be worth taking the short drive to Homer City to visit Trendy Trades. This second-hand store specializes in buying gently worn clothes, shoes and bags and reselling them for a much lower cost than their retail value. While prices here are going to be a bit higher than at Goodwill, the store often carries newer items from brands that include H&M, lululemon, Nike, Polo, Michael Kors, Tiffany and Co. and Coach.

Ways to save money on groceries While you can always hit up Aldi or Walmart for cheap groceries, if you are looking for produce and goods that you know will be local and fresh, you should check out the Indiana County Farmers Market. The market features goods grown by local farmers and runs Wednesdays from 3 to 5:30 p.m. across from the Kovalchick Center and Athletic Complex and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to noon behind S&T Bank downtown. However, the market will close for the season in October, so be sure to stock up while you can. If you can’t make it to the farmers market, the Indiana Food

Co-op, located downtown in the building across from Twisted Jimmy’s, is open year-round and also offers a wide variety of locally grown groceries and artisan products.

Ways to save money on learning It might surprise some IUP students to know that there is actually a second major library in town beyond the Stapleton Library. Located across from the 9th Street Deli, the Indiana Free

Library (IFL) not only offers the chance for members to rent books but also has a wide collection of newer movies, music and magazines. The IFL has materials to check out and hosts a variety of different resources and classes that cover a range of different (and sometimes very important) topics from cooking classes to book clubs and even knitting lessons. Best of all, these resources are available for free with a library card, which IUP students can obtain for free as long as they live on campus or in town.

Indiana Coin Show counts its 60th year

Culture

Are DC Comics movies in disarray?

(Catharyn Pilch/The Penn) The 60th Annual Indiana County Coin Show took place at S&T Bank Arena Saturday afternoon.

CATHARYN PILCH Staff Writer C.Pilch@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

S&T Bank Arena held more than coins Saturday during the 60th Annual Fall Coin Show. Dealers had coins from various time periods in addition to paper money, novelty money, public transportation tokens, propaganda cards, Archie cards and magazines, as well as other collectable items. John Busovicki, the assistant bourse chairman and Indiana County historian, has been collecting since 1947 when he was 7 years old. He began collecting because he was “fascinated with the looks of a buffalo nickel.” “I love the history of coins,”

Busovicki said. “Plus, it’s a good investment.” Scott Bowman, bourse chairman, explained that there are three things to consider for the rarity of a coin. “One is the date,” he said, “two is the mint mark (the mint which produced the coin) and three is the condition of the coin.” He said not to clean coins because it lowers the value. Bowman started collecting coins when he was a teenager with his dad about 30 years ago. “We would sit around the dining room table and look at the coins and see how pretty they were,” Bowman said. He continues to collect coins for similar reasons as Busovicki: the extra income and the history.

(724) 349-0152 WWW.RUNCORENTAL.COM

“I have coins that are a couple thousand years old,” Bowman said. “If a coin could talk it would have lots of stories.” Some of the coins at the show have been evaluated and sealed for protection by a third party on the coin grading scale, Bowman explained. The scale is from one to 70 and 60-70 are considered mint state (MS) with 70 being a perfect coin. Dealer Duane Test showed two of his coins, both from 1915. One was assessed at MS 64 and was worth $190. The other was MS 66 and worth $1,100. The difference was because of the brightness of the coins. Test started collecting when he was 12.

This article contains opinion. In a twist of fate, the cinematic universe of DC Comics has reportedly lost the two actors of their most famous superheroes as rumors of recasting the roles have come about. According to various sources, Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill will no longer be playing Batman and Superman, respectively. In a report from The Hollywood Reporter, Cavill will no longer be reprising his role as Superman due to both scheduling conflicts and due to Warner Bros., the company who produces DC movies, wanting to focus on a film based on Supergirl. As for Affleck, The New York Post believes his reason for leaving is due to his recent move of going into rehab. This is not the only source of news coming from DC. Last week when discussing the film “Cyborg,” based around the half-robotic hero, “Justice League” director Ray Fisher said that the film may be too “costly” to actually be made. Whether or not plans have been cancelled for the film has yet to be reported, as Fisher still holds onto hope. After a string of films that were not well-received and with this new information coming about, could it be possible that DC is trying

to break away from making more films? Though unlikely, due to new movies already in production, there are mixed opinions on what should happen, with some saying the company is in shambles. Others, however, have advice that could help improve things for them. Christopher Pagan (biology) said he thinks DC should focus more on their animated shows and movies. “While they shouldn’t quit making movies, they should put them on hiatus,” Pagan said. “It would give them time to perfect them. While they work on that, they can focus on their animation, because they adapt better with the comics and are proven to be better made overall.” If Cavill and Affleck are truly leaving their roles, it is still up for debate who will replace them, with a popular demand from Twitter being that the next Superman be black. If the rumors of Michael B. Jordan being considered for the role are true, then this could be a possibility. As for now, it is uncertain on what is truly happening. Some are saying that DC is trying to restart their superhero films, while others are saying it is a bunch of coincidences. Though neither Cavill nor Affleck have given a response, Cavill’s manager Dany Garcia responded to fans by saying it was still being figured out. For the time being, fans can only wait and see what will come of it all.

“The Predator” hits theaters with major disappointment JEREMY STOUT

Staff Writer J.W.Stout2@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

This article contains opinion. Is there a director whose movies vacillate in quality as much as Shane Black? He works on the “one for them, one for me” model of filmmaking. The ones for them couldn’t feel more like calculated moves for a paycheck. “Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang” and “The Other Guys” are both truly solid movies, but his big-budget movies (“Iron Man 3”) are a middling at best. “The Predator” goes past middling, though. This movie is a straight-up train wreck from start to finish. Black, who co-starred in the original “Predator” and co-wrote and directed this sequel, creates a movie that’s wholly unsure of what it wants to be. This film is caught between being a schlocky throwback to ‘80s action movies and a modern franchise-building movie. It’s a movie that seems at odds with itself much like the muscle-bound aliens of its namesake. The film revolves around an army sniper, Quinn McKenna, (Boyd Holbrook, giving what I guess you could call a serviceable performance) finding a predator, whose ship was shot down on a mission in Mexico. He’s then declared insane by some shady government program, Project Stargazer, that doesn’t want him running around talking about these “space animals.” The only problem is that the predator was being chased by a super-predator that really wants whatever is on the ship of the one he shot down. The film’s plot is largely irrelevant and only serves to build out the universe like so many mediocre Marvel movies. Are there any other kind at this point? It’s window dressing around some gnarly kills that feel barely thought out. Along the way Holbrook gathers a group of fellow soldiers who have been placed in psychiatric care, affectionately called the Loonies. The group features Coyle (Keegan-Michael Key), who speaks almost entirely in jokes that sixth graders from 2003 would’ve thought were hilarious; Nebraska

(“Moonlight” standout Trevante Rhodes), who deals with self-harm; and Neetles, Bexley and Lynch (Augusto Aguilera, Tom Jane and Alfie Alan). The cast also features Olivia Munn as a scientist who wants to study “space animals,” Jacob Trembley as McKenna’s autistic son and Sterling K. Brown as a smarmy government agent. The cast, save for Rhodes, who is trying so admirably to turn his paper-thin character into gold, is often insufferable. Brown, in particular, gives what might be the worst

when given dialogue like “they’re large, they’re fast and f*cking you up is their idea of tourism.” The script in this film is so misguided. It features a bunch of groan-worthy callbacks to memorable lines from the first film (“Get to the chopper”). It wants you to think it’s cute, but it’s just irritating. Then the major problems arise, such as treating autism as a plot point and mental illness as just a way to give some “interesting” ticks to its characters. I want to believe that this was done with the best of intentions, but it doesn’t change the fact. The film, for all its flaws, isn’t a complete wash. As mentioned above, there are some truly interesting kills, and Black at least knows how to pace action in a way that’s coherent and fun, which is something that most modern big-budget directors usually fail miserably at. It’s just all in service of a misguided movie that doesn’t pick a lane and falls flat because of it.

Rapper Noname tests her range on second album “Room 25”

Culture

Check out our website! www.

The Penn .org

“Room 25” is the second studio album by Noname and was released on Sept. 14.

LEVI DONALDSON

Contributing Writer L.Donaldson@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

This article contains opinion. Niche rapper Noname takes clever shots at the industry while retaining a classy and unique style unlike any other artist. Chicago-based rapper Noname returned to the music scene with her second studio album “Room 25.” This serves as a follow-up to her debut cult hit “Telefone.” She has also collaborated with Chance The Rapper and Saba. Much like “Telefone,” “Room 25” carries lyrical hip-hop with a laid-back sound and conglomerated musical influence. However, in her second album, she doubles down on explicit themes, faster rap and more controversial lyrics. Noname did not return lying down. The album starts with a mission statement of sorts, an intro track titled “Self.” This is also the start of the album’s religious themes, as well as its snide comments toward the industry. This leads into one of the faster and more aggressive tracks, “Blaxploitation,” in which she comments how Chick-Fil-A tastes like hypocrisy.

The second verse on the song “Ace” continues the bold swinging themes. Noname claims herself and the featured artists on “Ace” are the best rappers and that those with radio play seem childish and silly. In a seemingly random note, she also criticizes actor Morgan Freeman’s career in the same verse. This verse also confirms her marijuana use, after the track “All I Need” from “Telefone” deals with her ending usage. Tracks like “Ace,” “Blaxploitation” and “Montego Bay” have an expected hip-hop brashness to them. However, the album as a whole shows more than this side of the artist. The third track on the album, “Prayer Song,” criticizes American stereotypes and how God is ignored in favor of other distractions in the culture. This serves almost as a bridge from the hard-cut start of the album into the more theological and sensitive considerations she has to offer. The song “With You” both references “Telefone” and serves as a continuation of the track “Bye Bye Baby.” The two songs tell the story of an abortion and the prayers and love set aside for the unborn child. She said she used the concept

(Facebook)

to provide music for healing to a demographic often targeted. Noname’s vulnerability is heavily explored as well. “Don’t Forget About Me” deals with her own mortality and substance use after “Telefone.” She explains the weight on her shoulders after “Telefone” helped many fans with suicidal thoughts. However despite her influence, she is very much broken inside. This song also touches on her mother’s chemotherapy and how Noname prays her mother remembers her. The end track “noname” speaks to the idea that in heaven, names will no longer exist. This could explain why Fatimah Nyeema Warne goes by the moniker “Noname.” A philosophy of identity and a pursuit of heavenly optimism could be used to describe her music. Noname once again delivers an album that mixes her culture, her personal life and her faith into an album that sounds soothing, serene and poignant. She tests more of a vocal range, while involving herself more in the industry and solidifying her unique style and presence in music. “Room 25” withholds the high standards Noname’s previous work set for herself. It is definitely a project you don’t want to miss and is worth revisiting time and time again.

Soccer suffers lopsided loss to East Stroudsburg JAKE ROUSE

East Stroudsburg University turned the tables on the IUP soccer team in its match Saturday, as the Warriors walked away with a 6-1 victory over the Crimson Hawks. Freshman forward Mahogany Willis (communications media) scored the first and only IUP point of the game 10 minutes in, off an assist from forward Nikki Bowman (freshman, biology). Willis’ goal was her fifth of the season, which leads the team thus far. IUP’s excitement was short-lived, however, as East Stroudsburg responded with a goal of its own just seconds later to tie the game. Within a six-minute span, the

Warriors scored three more goals just before the intermission. The score was 4-1 East Stroudsburg at the half. IUP’s attempt to get back in the game in the second half started out with some promising chances. The Crimson Hawks had good looks at the goal after the break but were not able to get the ball in the net. On the other side, the Warriors were able to add to their scoreboard with a 65th-minute goal. With five minutes before full time, East Stroudsburg scored again from a header off a corner kick. Despite IUP’s fight in the second half, full time was reached with a final score of 6-1. IUP currently holds a 4-3 record overall and a 3-3 record in PSAC

conference competition. The win for East Stroudsburg gave the team a 3-2-1 record overall and a 3-1-1 record in the PSAC. Midfielder Megan Dalton (sophomore, criminology) and forward Halle Shenkle (sophomore, criminology) finished the game with two and one shots on goal respectively in the loss. Next ahead on the schedule for the Crimson Hawks is a road game at 7 p.m. Friday in Memorial Stadium at Clarion University. The Golden Eagles currently hold an 0-6 record overall, with all games coming against PSAC competition. IUP looks to return to their winning ways and climb through the PSAC standings. The Crimson Hawks currently sit in 11th position in the conference.

Game Recap: another strong win for IUP BRAD O’HARA

Staff Writer B.L.Ohara@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

IUP football picked up its third win of the season as it rolled through Lock Haven on Saturday, claiming the victory by a score of 59-17. The Crimson Hawks shot out to an early lead as they dominated the entirety of the first quarter. IUP’s offense came out swinging as they marched down the field on their first drive of the game to take a 7-0 lead. This happened two more times before the end of the first quarter giving IUP a 21-0 lead. In the first quarter alone, Lenny Williams (senior, accounting) threw for 112 yards, including an 84-yard touchdown pass to Dom McNeil (junior, kinesiology). The second quarter started off

much the same as the first quarter with IUP marching down the field once again to score. The drive was four plays and all rushes with two from Samir Bullock (junior, criminology), one rush from Justice Evans (sophomore, management) and a 35-yard rush by Williams. Two minutes later the Crimson Hawks were back in the end zone off a 38-yard pass from Williams. That touchdown pass gave Williams 89 career passing touchdowns, the most in program history. IUP continued its success, running the score up to 42-3 by halftime and scoring a touchdown on all six of the drives they had in the first half. For the second half of the game, the starters were pulled, and the backups ran the show and continued to put together a scor-

ing effort. The Crimson Hawks managed to outscore Lock Haven 17-14 in the second half to win the game by a wide margin. “The main factor is our ability to score in a lot of different ways as well as having the ability to make big plays in both the run and pass game,” head coach Paul Tortorella said. He also mentioned how important these wins have been for the entirety of the team, as far as experience, which comes from the ability to pull the starters. “As for the growth of our younger players,” Tortorella said, “the last two weeks have been big because game reps are more important than practice reps.” The Crimson Hawks’ next game is at 4 p.m. Saturday, as the players return home for Family Day to take on Mercyhurst University.

HOT TAKE JAKE

Could IUP win against an NFL team? JAKE TAYLOR

Contributing Writer J.M.Taylor8@iup.edu @JakeTaylor8726

This article contains opinion. As the second week of the NFL season comes to an end, and the fourth week of IUP football is about to begin, there is a buzz in the Oak Grove – a certain swagger on campus. It’s a feeling that only a third ranked team nationally can bring about. I may be known for hot takes. However, this take may not be too far off. If the Crimson Hawks suited up against the Buffalo Bills this week, I’d guarantee an IUP victory. This is not a take based solely off passion (like most of mine are), this is a take stacked with evidence. Nathan Peterman, for starters, is the worst starting quarterback in NFL history. In his NFL debut last year, Peterman went 6-14 and threw six interceptions. As he started the 2018 season opener, he went 5-for-18 in passing, throwing for just 24 yards, with two

more interceptions. Josh Allen took over the reigns, yet still underwhelmed with 15 incompletions and threw more interceptions than touchdowns just like his predecessor.

(TNS) QB Nathan Peterman has struggled.

When you compare their stats to IUP quarterback Lenny Williams,

it becomes even more clear. Williams has a quarterback rating of 209.4 this year, making the Peterman/Allen duo look like jabronis. Not to mention Javon Davis, the freshman back-up QB with a 147 rating & two touchdown passes. The Bills have been outscored this season 78-23 against an overwhelming 121-41 in favor of IUP. Both sides of the ball must be prevalent in order to win a game, and the Bills just don’t have either. Buffalo sits with two touchdowns on the season while giving up 10, and IUP sits with 17 touchdowns scored with five let up. These simple yet effective stats only prove me to be right. Tampa Bay, a team that ranked second-to-last in passing offense last year, came into Buffalo in Week One and tore their defense to shreds. That would never happen to the Hawks’ JR Stevens-led secondary. All in all, Sean McDermott would be out-coached by the real hero Indiana deserves, THE Paul Tortorella. Final score: Buffalo Bills 17, IUP Crimson Hawks 34.

Thank you, Nick Foles, but it’s Carson Wentz time

(TNS) Nick Foles and Carson Wentz celebrated their Super Bowl LII victory during the championship parade in Philadelphia.

JEFF McLANE

The Philadelphia Inquirer TNS

Thank you, Nick Foles. You were outstanding in the playoffs last season. You helped the Eagles win their first Super Bowl with a MVP performance. You stepped in again as the backup quarterback in this season’s opener and did enough to claim a victory. And while you didn’t play your best in a 27-21 loss to the Buccaneers on Sunday, you battled until the end. You never complained about your peculiar situation over the last nine months. And for your grace and the memories you forged, you will have a place in the hearts and minds of Eagles fans everywhere. But it’s time for Carson Wentz. The Eagles expect Wentz to return in time for Sunday’s game against the Colts, NFL sources said. It’s unlikely that the Eagles’ lackluster showing at steamy Raymond James Stadium will have any bearing on the decision. Foles struggled throughout the contest, even though his numbers were impressive on paper. Wentz is the franchise. He was

arguably the NFL’s MVP before tearing the ACL and LCL ligaments in his knee last December. And he has the ability, barring further injury and some unforeseen setback in his development, to one day become the league’s best player. He will make the Eagles better. But he won’t rescue a team that has yet to gain its footing on both sides of the ball, particularly on offense, and a team that continues to be bitten by injuries. “If and when Carson comes back he’ll add spark. He’s one of the best players in the league,” tight end Zach Ertz said. “But we can’t expect him to just put a Superman cape on and be his old self. He’s going to be rusty.” Wentz has practiced since May, participated in team drills as early as late July, and while the Eagles held him back for the next three weeks, he split first team repetitions for the last two weeks of the preseason. The snap distribution may have affected Foles’ slow start to the season, but it was done with the big picture in mind. And to keep the competitive Wentz engaged. He was relegated to scout team the last two weeks,

but his teammates said that his focus hadn’t lessened. “He looks the same,” tackle Jason Peters said. “But you don’t know what you’re going to get coming off an injury, just like they didn’t know what they were going to get with me.”

lessened expectations. The same thinking should apply to how he initially performs, as Peters, who came back from an ACL tear, suggested. It typically takes about a year for an athlete to regain full strength in his knee and Wentz is just over nine months since surgery. But will he be less aggressive? It is his nature, but he just may not be able to attempt some of the derring-do from last season. Would that make him less effective? So many of his greatest moments from 2017 came when he pulled off the unthinkable. Wentz has the skills, however, to be as good from the pocket. He has the arm strength, the mind and his accuracy should only improve. There were several moments in Sunday’s game when the Eagles could have used a quarterback with those abilities. Foles was hardly the most at fault. There were multiple penalties early in the game. There were multiple injuries. But that’s not an excuse. “He’s worked with those guys before,” Pederson said. Foles’ early throws were a touch off. He made Aiken stretch for a

IF AND WHEN CARSON COMES BACK, HE’LL ADD SPARK. HE’S ONE OF THE BEST PLAYERS IN THE LEAGUE.

—ZACH ERTZ If it were up to Wentz, he would have played Week 1. He stated that as his goal, but the team should have probably not allowed him to announce it in January. It set a deadline and created unnecessary questions when he wasn’t cleared. A soft return date would have

pass. He threw behind Corey Clement on a screen. He was late to pick up an A-gap blitz and fumbled. He held the ball a smidgeon too long on plays when his first reads weren’t open, contributing the Bucs’ three sacks and 12 hits. And he didn’t audible when the Eagles had the wrong played called for a coverage, something Wentz had become adept at last season. He also missed open receivers on a few plays, the costliest, on fourth and 10 in the fourth quarter when Ertz was open on a corner route. Foles did plenty good and he needed more help. Ertz was stopped short on a key fourth and four early in the second half. The defense, of course, allowed two 75-yard touchdowns. “You saw his resiliency,” Pederson said of Foles. Foles is a gamer. He’s like a trusty old pair of socks. “Obviously, stepping into the huddle and playing the game it’s something that I love,” Foles said when asked about the possibility of Wentz’s return. “It’s a crazy sport ... Whatever the team asks from me any time I’m going to be there and I’m going to help in any way possible.” No one would expect less.
