Second suspect arrested in student kidnapping

By PETE SIRIANNI

Staff Writer P.M.Sirianni@iup.edu

The search for the second suspect in a kidnapping involving an IUP student is over, with the suspects facing multiple felony charges and up to 70 years in prison.

Jamanji Beasley, 20, was arrested Thursday by Indiana Borough Police in connection to the Jan. 29 kidnapping, according to district court docket sheets. Another suspect, Adrian Thrower, 19, was arrested Jan. 31 by Erie police.

The IUP student was alone with the two suspects, both from Erie,

after a mutual friend left the three together, according to a police report. The two suspects then took valuables from the student’s Studio 6 apartment, located at 1156 Oakland Ave., and drove the student’s car to Erie, with the IUP student on board.

The IUP student was able to

get in contact with police, but the suspects had since fled the Erie residence where the student was held captive most of the day. The student’s parents traveled to Erie, drove him back to Indiana and filed a report with borough police.

Beasley and Thrower each face seven felony charges, including

robbery of a motor vehicle, kidnapping to facilitate a felony, theft and simple assault, according to court docket sheets.

Thrower was transferred to Indiana County Jail and District Judge Jennifer Rega increased his bail amount to $150,000 after it was originally set at $100,000.

Students, faculty represent IUP at PASSHE funding rally

(Alexandria Mansfield/ The Penn)

IUP students and faculty took a bus trip to the Capitol Rotunda in Harrisburg Monday to represent the university at the funding rally for Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) schools.

By ALEXANDRIA MANSFIELD Lead News Writer A.M.Mansfield@iup.edu

It’s a rare occasion when IUP is cheering for the same outcome as Slippery Rock University.

In an Association of Pennsylvania State Colleges and Universities Faculties-sponsored funding rally with all 14 universities from the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) in attendance, hundreds of students made their voices heard in the Capitol Rotunda of Harrisburg.

Chants of “fund or fail” were followed by speeches from people who hold political office in Pennsylvania, faculty members of the state universities and students from each of the affected colleges.

“It was our pleasure to sponsor the rally, but everyone needs

News

to know that we only had the rally because students approached us to see what they could do to get involved,” said Dr. Kenneth Mash, APSCUF’s president, in his opening remarks at the event.

“You have more press coverage than I’ve seen at any event so far,” Michael Stack, lieutenant governor of Pennsylvania, added before delving into the purpose of the students’ presence.

“Pennsylvania has to invest in our greatest natural resource.

Some said our greatest natural resource was natural gas, but we say it’s you guys.

“The cost of student loans has gone up and up, and by the time you graduate from college, you’ve gone bankrupt.

“You don’t need to have a brain to know you have to fund higher education. Together, we will fund

higher education.”

“Your presence here is the best thing you could be doing today,” Pa. Rep. Duane Milne said.

“I am so glad you are not in class today. This is the best civics lesson you could have today. It shows you care about your education.”

When students began to realize how the budget cuts of 2011 were going to affect them, many were faced with the difficult decision of being able to attend college or having enough money to eat.

“When I walk on campus, familiar faces are missing,” said Christian Copeland, Millersville University’s student senate president.

“Our budget problems wouldn’t exist if legislators were faced with the same pain as students. Do the right thing.

“Work together to avoid future budget crises.”

February 9, 2016

IUP’s Student Government Association President Vincent Lopez (junior, political science) also attended the rally and asserted his representation of IUP in a speech.

“We will stand together united as one,” Lopez said.

“Not as IUP, not as PASSHE, but as the state system. We are going to move forward and we are going to make our voices heard.”

“When I went to IUP, my total fees were $3,800. Even with inflation, you should not be paying anywhere near what you are,” said Dr. Jamie Martin, criminology professor and vice president of IUP’s chapter of APSCUF. Countless speakers from the state universities, students and faculty alike, took turns to express their concerns in the budget impasse and demand a change.

“It was a really good way for

all of us to see just how much we play a role in legislature,” said Alexa Titchen (junior, journalism and public relations).

“It felt good to see the indignation in students who are affected by the budget not being passed.”

This year’s state budget will be addressed by Gov. Tom Wolf Tuesday. Yet, last year’s budget hasn’t been distributed.

“I found it enlightening,” Selina Colon (senior, journalism and public relations) said.

“If they couldn’t hear us before, they sure can now.”

Not all of the observations were optimistic about the impact of this event, however.

“They heard us, but this may just give them time to form an excuse about why things aren’t working,” Colon said.

“I wish more students came.”

Friday proved to be a big day for the Donut Connection team, as the soft opening of Portia’s Bistro took place.

The employees and owner tried a much different concept for the new eatery.

Sarah Harrington and Gabby Jaeske, both senior hospitality management majors, are interns for business owner Portia Diaz helping to build the establishment from scratch.

For the duration of the spring semester, Portia’s Bistro and Donut Connection will share the same location at 1028 Philadelphia St. as a test run of the new menu and to gauge what consumers like and dislike.

On Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday brunches, Donut Connection will look significantly different.

A more upscale look, including servers and a new menu, in addition to the original Donut Connection food, will be the vibe until the location of Portia’s Bistro on Wayne Avenue is finalized.

The Wayne Avenue location will also include a Donut Connection, splitting the space between a bakery and the bistro. The menu for Portia’s Bistro will be diverse, according to Harrington.

“We want to bring different nationality themes to Indiana as a bistro concept,” she said.

There will be theme nights consisting of Tapa Thursdays, Filipino Fridays, Soul-food Saturdays and Sunday brunches. All the food will be homemade by Diaz, who has served in multiple positions at IUP since 2001. The bistro will also be selectively BYOB. “On theme nights, we will encourage you to bring a beverage, and every night will be different,” Jaeske said.

While Sarah says this past weekend was a “trial and error weekend for employees,” they hope Valentine’s Day weekend brings in even more customers to give feedback on the new cuisine.

RESTAURANT REVIEW: 9th STREET DELI

By MARY ROMEO Lead Wet Ink Writer M.E.Romeo@iup.edu

If you haven’t tried 9th Street Deli yet, you’re missing out on some of Indiana’s finest food.

This little sandwich shop, located at 901 Philadelphia St. near the Jimmy Stewart Museum, is often overlooked because it is not in the heart of downtown Indiana with other restaurants.

The fact that it sits on its own corner is one of many reasons this restaurant stands out from the rest.

First, the service is always quick, consistent and friendly.

To a first-timer, it may be overwhelming to decide what to eat, since there is a variety of sandwiches, subs, burgers, soups, drinks and chips, as well as an assortment of homemade pastas and salads on display.

Not only are the portions huge, but the prices are very affordable.

The most expensive item on the menu is $16.50, and the cheapest is $2.50, so you’ll never have to spend more than $20 on yourself.

Customers have the option of buying breakfast, lunch or dinner at any point in the day, as 9th Street is open 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.

Monday through Friday and 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday.

Yes, it sells breakfast, too, as if there wasn’t already enough to choose from on the menu.

Its famous freshly made subs can come on a bagel, croissant, white, wheat or rye bread or in a wrap. They come in either 12 or 24 inches, so they’re perfect for sharing with a friend or saving for later.

The half-subs, which are a foot long, range anywhere from $5.25 to $7.95, and the 2-foot-long whole subs are just double the price.

Some of the most popular subs are cheeseburger, cheesesteak and the cowboy.

For meat lovers, the signature 9th Street Deli sub comes with ham, turkey, roast beef and swiss cheese.

Randi Epstein (junior, communications media) gave 9th Street a stellar rating.

“9th Street Deli has great food,” she said. “10 out of 10. Would recommend.”

Its greatness is so pronounced, Logan Custer (junior, communications media) wishes the deli was open on Sundays.

“They have the best food,” he said. “I just wish they were open on Sundays, because I always crave it then.”

If you’re unsure of what to eat, or want freshly made quality food, 9th Street Deli is sure to never disappoint.

The inside of 9th Street Deli is decorated with pennants from various colleges and universities to add to its college-town vibes.

AAUW offering two $500 scholarships for women

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

The Indiana chapter at the American Association of University Women is offering two $500 scholarships to female IUP students for next year.

The AAUW has offered these scholarships in partner with the IUP women and gender studies program for the past three years.

The first scholarship will be

awarded to a non-traditional undergraduate or graduate female student who has completed at least 30 undergraduate or six graduate credits and has an Indiana County residential address.

The second scholarship has the same requirements except, instead of being offered to a nontraditional student, it will be offered to a student who has a minor in women and gender studies.

Applicants must also be AAUW Collegiate Members, but AAUW

President Dr. Susan Wheatley wanted students to know that IUP students can join AAUW for free.

The deadline to apply is March 14, with interviews for finalists taking place on March 16 from 9 a.m. to noon. Applications can be found online at indiana-pa.aauw. net/scholarship. There will be an awards banquet for the scholarship winners on March 30. Wheatley explained what qualifications would make a strong applicant.

“Qualifications that will make

applicants stand out are a strong academic record and a commitment to advancing equity for women and girls in their own career,” Wheatley said.

She also went on to explain what the AAUW is and why students should consider joining the organization.

“AAUW’s mission is to empower women as individuals and as a community.

“As a grassroots organization, AAUW strives to improve the

lives of women and their families through public policy advocacy to advance equity for women and girls. We promote gender equity issues in education and the workplace, and the national organization has given over $3 million in fellowships and grants to support 241 women in their professional and academic careers in 2015 alone.”

More details about the scholarships can also be found online at the website.

$mart $tart Workshop to teach women to effectively negotiate salaries

By CARLY SMITH

Contributing Writer C.F.Smith@iup.edu

The Indiana chapter of the American Association of University Women will hold a Smart Start Workshop Feb. 20 to help educate women on how to negotiate their salaries effectively and get the pay that they deserve.

Pay rate can be one of the most anticipated, but rarely discussed,

topics at a job interview.

While it is great to have a job that you love, money matters.

Women are often paid less than men, but many individuals don’t want to discuss their pay because they don’t want to ask for too little, or they don’t want to be shot down if they ask for too much.

In order to be a prepared woman entering the workforce, educating yourself about tactics for tackling the gender pay gap is key.

Women make roughly $0.80 for every dollar that a man makes – for doing the same job.

That means that over the course of her working life, a woman will early roughly $1 million less than a man, according to research by the AAUW. This workshop will occur from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Hadley Union Building Delaware Room.

Refreshments and a lunch buffet will be provided. Registration

for this free workshop, open to all juniors and seniors at IUP, is required.

The facilitators for this workshop will be IUP professors Dr. Kay Snyder and Dr. Melissa Swauger. In

addition to the AAUW, the workshop is sponsored by IUP women’s programs, the Center for Health and Well-Being, women’s and gender studies and student advising and testing.

OPINION Penn

EDITORIAL

(TNS)

The relationship between professional athletes and the media can, at times, be a tumultous one.

No better example of that was shown Sunday night when the Denver Broncos besieged the Carolina Panthers in Super Bowl 50. Outspoken and polarizing Panthers quarterback Cam Newton received plenty of heat after a curt post-game news conference resulted in him walking out on reporters.

Now, fans and media members alike have gotten deep into debate across social media platforms, questioning why Newton has to sit there – moments after the biggest loss of his career – and answer “stupid questions” or be happy after getting thrown around like a ragdoll on the field.

In the end, being a professional athlete is, in fact, a job. A high-profile, constantly scrutinized job.

Why should Newton have to answer questions?

Because it’s stipulated in the contract he put his John Hancock to; it’s his job.

Before anyone flies off the handle, this is not unique to Newton. It’s all athletes.

We’re not here to judge Newton’s character – that’s not the pertinent issue – but we do know that

one should be expected to demonstrate a certain degree of professionalism while on the job, like practically any other profession. Carolina head coach Ron Rivera is a sterling example of how downtrodden icons of pro sports should handle such situations.

Minutes after the loss, Rivera stood in the tunnel with CBS’s Evan Washburn and fielded questions in a calm, informative and graceful manner. If Rivera can do that, why is it wrong to expect players to respond with a similar demeanor?

Answering the media doesn’t have to be poetic or groundbreaking. A majority of athletes handle these routine interactions just fine and keep everything running smoothly.

Media members are simply trying to do their jobs – jobs that happen to play a large role in why the NFL is so popular. Newton, and any other resistant player, should be expected to suck it up and do theirs, like most other players do.

That’s not to say all criticisms Newton is receiving are validated. Some critiques are inflated and flat-out ridiculous. Newton made a mistake. He’s not the first, and he certainly won’t be the last.

It’s time to move on.

Campuses must counter assaults on game days PITTSBURGH POST-GAZETTE TNS

Jason Lindo, an economics professor at Texas A&M University, had a hunch about campus sexual assaults at Division I football schools and whether their rates were affected by big-game days.

So he and several colleagues scoured 22 years of FBI data, comparing assault reports to local police on game days with those filed on non-game days.

The researchers found a strong link between football game days and an increase in reported rapes by college women ages 17 to 24. Lindo’s study, released Dec. 28, 2015, said sexual assault reports increased 41 percent during home games and 15 percent during away games.

Opinion

If the home team was an underdog that defeated a higherranked team, reported rapes went up 57 percent.

Heavy drinking also appears to be a factor in the statistics that showed hundreds of assaults at 128 schools.

It goes without saying that school administrations must develop strategies to curb overconsumption of alcohol.

But they also must educate students about sexual assault and use the study as a guide toward new approaches on game days.

Based on a 2010 study on the economic losses associated with crime, the Texas A&M researchers estimate that each Division I-A campus rape carries a social cost of $267,000. The annual cost of these assaults is at least $68 million.

Fans showed their disgust with certain calls in Sunday’s Super Bowl 50 in Santa Clara, Calif.

While the price in dollars is steep enough, the damage to individuals from alcohol-related sexual assault is too huge to tolerate.

February 9, 2016

Every college and university, not just those with Division I teams, should consider the research.

They know that alcohol com-

(TNS)

bined with sports can be a factor in campus rape, but do they have the courage to confront and do something about the problem?

Get your roses ready: The top 5 best ‘Bachelors’

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

The following is an opinion story: Women of all ages adore Monday night television for one reason and one reason only: “The Bachelor.”

It does not matter if women are young and single or older and married; they all gather around their TV every Monday at 8 p.m. to watch the newest “bachelor” make the show’s contestants fall madly in love.

Twenty seasons filled with adoration, laughter and drama would not have been possible if it were not for the help of these five bachelors on ABC:

Ben Higgins

(abc.com)

1) The 20th season of “The Bachelor” has women across the nation swooning over Ben Higgins. Higgins seems to be the most beloved bachelor to date.

It may have something to do with women wanting to prove to him that he is not, as he explains, “unlovable.” He seems to say all the right things and make all the right moves. However, it is too early in the season to believe Higgins is everything he says he is. It would not be a season of “The Bachelor” if something dramatic with the bachelor himself doesn’t take place.

The current cast of ‘The Bachelor,’ starring Ben Higgins (center)

2) In 2012’s controversial Season 16, Ben Flajnik was a winemaker just trying to find the love of his life. He had multiple girls fall madly in love with him, but one stayed in his heart who he could not let go, that being Courtney Robertson. Robertson was not well-liked by the other women, not to mention the viewers of “The Bachelor.”

The tandem is remembered for its infamous skinny dipping scene during the season. Flajnick proposed only to have his relationship end, twice. He is currently dating Stephanie Winn, whom he met on Tinder.

Jake Pavelka

3) Nobody can forget Jake Pavelka, the commercial pilot from Season 14. In 2010, viewers of the show heard nothing but the

words “I’m a pilot” come out of Pavelka’s mouth. However, those words made Vienna Girardi want to be with Pavelka for life. Vienna was the “villain” of that season, but it seems to be a trend for the bachelors to fall for the villain. Not long after he proposed, they ended their relationship but crossed paths again on “The Bachelor Pad.”

made the bachelorettes on that season fall madly in love. However, as the season came closer to ending, his true colors showed. A night in the “fantasy suite” with Andi Dorfman turned into a never-ending nightmare. Dorfman explained that Galavis was arrogant and she saw a different side to him. She sat and explained to him her feelings and called him out on telling her,

“It’s okay.” Dorfman told Galavis, “It’s not okay.” Dorfman left the show and Galavis chose to “continue a relationship” with Nikki Ferrell. The couple could not make its relationship work, however, no matter how hard they tried. Ferrell is now engaged to a long-time friend.

4) Brad Womack was not shy when it came to being the bachelor. Womack was the heart to win on seasons 11 and 15 of the show.

In Season 11, Womack rejected all of the contestants. Later, Womack came back to the show to fall in love. Emily Maynard was the woman for him, and he finally proposed. The couple ended their love during the airing of their season but later got back together. In 2011, their relationship was over for good.

5) The most controversial bachelor of them all, Juan Pablo Galavis’ season will always be remembered. He was the bachelor for Season 18 in 2014. He was known for being a professional soccer player, having a daughter and frequently utilizing the phrase, “It’s okay.” His Venezuelan accent

Rihanna roars back with new album, ‘Anti’

By SAMANTHA BELL Staff Writer S.M.Bell@iup.edu

Rihanna’s “Anti” is a compilation of hard-hitting emotional epics.

The album is the R&B artist’s eighth studio release, and it’s been long awaited. Rihanna went three years without releasing an album, but she did a good job of keeping her fans waiting anxiously with hits like, “B**** Better Have My Money” and “FourFiveSeconds.”

Rihanna’s fan base, which is often referred to as “Rihanna Navy,” got an early digital release of the album Jan. 28 through the music streaming service Tidal.

The album was released on iTunes and other online music stores Jan. 29.

Rihanna’s musical presence reveals itself like never before with tracks like “Desperado” and “James Joint,” which combine sinister beats with the robust lyricism fans have come to expect from the artist.

However, “Anti” is a bit darker than Rihanna’s usual upbeat clubhits.

Rihanna gives fans a glimpse into her struggle with fame with lyrics like, “I’ve got to do things on my own, darling/Will you ever let me?” on the opening track “Consideration” (feat. SZA). She also took a stroll outside of her own musical sphere with a cover

of Tame Impala’s, “Same ‘Ol Mistakes.”

Each track on the album, along with the artwork, presents itself as a tiny fragment of Rihanna’s artistic mind.

The project is fleshed out, raw and purposeful, revealing to fans that it was well worth the wait.

Rihanna burst onto the pop music scene in 2007 with her third studio album, “Good Girl Gone Bad,” which featured the hit song “Umbrella.”

She has won eight Grammy awards, her latest coming in 2015 in the Best Rap/Sung Collaboration category for her hit single, “The Monster,” featuring Eminem.

Rihanna’s new album ‘Anti’ was released Jan. 29

Zoolander returns, 15 years later, to a different world

By RAFER GUZMAN Newsday TNS

Barely three weeks after the attacks of 9/11, Ben Stiller’s comedy “Zoolander” arrived in theaters. At the time, light entertainment seemed so inappropriate that Hollywood was postponing the release of movies like Arnold Schwarzenegger’s action-flick “Collateral Damage.” It was hard to say what, if anything, moviegoers wanted to see, but Stiller’s spoof of the vapid fashion industry didn’t necessarily seem a safe bet.

“There have been articles lately asking why the United States is so hated in some parts of the world.

As this week’s Exhibit A from Hollywood, I offer ‘Zoolander,’” Roger Ebert wrote in his scathing, onestar review. He called the movie “offensive” and “tasteless.”

Ebert was in the minority on that one. The story of Derek Zoolander, a brainless model-turnedassassin played by Stiller with peacock hair and a glam-rock pucker, “Zoolander” pleased most critics and earned $60 million at the boxoffice at a time when most movies were tanking badly.

Thanks to home video and cable, the movie went on to become a modern classic. Fifteen years later, “Zoolander 2” arrives on screens on Feb. 12 facing high expectations and a much-changed cultural climate.

“Zoolander” was in some ways a response to the decade that preceded it, the zeitgeist-less 1990s.

It was an economically optimistic period, driven partly by gee-whiz changes in technology (reflected

in “Zoolander” by Derek’s absurdly tiny cellphone), but the ‘90s were also culturally superficial, marked by the rise of cable entertainment channels, supermodel celebrities like Claudia Schiffer and noncelebrities like Paris Hilton (who makes a cameo in the film). It’s no accident that “Zoolander” began life as two short spoofs for the VH1 Fashion Awards in the mid-1990s.

Much of the humor comes from Derek’s difficulty to perform simple tasks – walking, turning – and the fact that his various facial expressions (nicknamed Ferrari and Blue Steel) are actually indistinguishable.

Given that Stiller mocked male models as unable to form complete sentences, he went over like gangbusters with the fashion industry itself.

That’s a testament to Stiller’s ability to mix merciless satire with a sweetness of spirit, which came through even stronger in the film.

(Stiller directed and co-wrote with Drake Sather, who helped create the VH1 skits, and John Hamburg, whose credits include Stiller’s “Meet the Parents.”) The film’s premise actually hits the fashion industry quite hard: When the prime minister of Malaysia prom-

Ben Stiller, left, and Owen Wilson will star in “Zoolander 2.” (popsugar-assets.com)

ises to end child labor, a cabal of designers, led by an unseen “Giorgio,” plots to have him killed.

Otherwise, wails one, “We’ll all go bankrupt within a year!”

Nevertheless, fashion heavyweights like Tom Ford and Tommy Hilfiger agreed to appear as themselves in the film.

And as time went on, the industry seemed to embrace characters like the blathering Zen model Hansel (Owen Wilson) and the evil designer Mugatu (Will Ferrell),

whose homeless-inspired fashion line Derelicte was based on a very real line by John Galliano.

“I was thrilled to say yes to Ben,” designer Marc Jacobs told Vanity Fair about playing himself in the upcoming sequel. “I thought the first one was hilarious.”

What’s important about the Zoolander character is that he’s never truly nasty, just overly pampered and blithely elitist. The film even portrays him as a Billy Elliot type, an outcast born into a

coal-mining family (played by Jon Voight, Judah Friedlander and an unspeaking, uncredited Vince Vaughn) who are deeply ashamed of his natural beauty.

We also see Zoolander repeatedly struggle with an existential question: “Did you ever think that maybe there’s more to life,” he asks his roommates, “than being really, really, ridiculously good looking?”

Some of the things that worked in the first film, however, may not work in the sequel. Another cameo by Donald Trump, for instance, now a highly divisive presidential candidate, probably wouldn’t get the same laughs. And a new character named All, a transgender model played by Benedict Cumberbatch, has already raised objections from the LGBT community.

At any rate, it’s hard to blame Stiller for wanting to follow up one of his most beloved films.

Eventually, the movie even won over Roger Ebert. “To his credit, I ran into him like five or six years later,” Stiller told The Hollywood Reporter in 2013. “He said, ‘Hey, I just want to apologize to you. I wrote that about “Zoolander,” and I think it’s really funny.’”

IUP pulling away with PSAC West lead

By VAUGHN DALZELL Lead Sports Writer V.S.Dalzell@iup.edu

Anthony Glover and Jacobo Diaz combined for 43 points Saturday as IUP (18-5, 15-3) cruised over Edinboro University (12-9, 11-7) 94-73 at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex.

Glover (junior, marketing) was 8 of 12 from the floor, nailing five 3-pointers in 32 minutes. Diaz (freshman, management) had 20 points on 8 of 10 shooting and seven rebounds to go along with three assists.

IUP hit 11 of 22 3-point shots, a season-high. IUP also shot 53.8 percent from the field to bury the Fighting Scots. Edinboro led the contest only once while IUP dominated most of the game, leading by 22 at one point. Edinboro went

3 of 11 from beyond the arc and 44.4 percent from the field with 17 turnovers.

The victory marked 12 in a row for the Crimson Hawks and helped extend their Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference West lead to three games over Mercyhurst.

Mercyhurst lost to Clarion, 6762, Saturday, ensuring that IUP controls its own destiny.

As long as IUP doesn’t lose, it will clinch first in the West. Mercyhurst must also win its four remaining games.

Diaz expressed confidence in IUP’s chances.

“We can keep this winning streak going for the rest of the season,” he said. “We look at each team the same no matter the record.”

Brandon Norfleet (senior, communications media) did his nightly

damage with 16 points, six rebounds and six assists. That said, it was on an inefficient 7 of 21 shooting. Regardless, Norfleet is seven points away from cracking the top 20 individual scoring seasons at IUP. Daddy Ugbede (senior, communications media) had an offensively efficient game, as he pitched in 16 points in only 20 minutes of action.

Ugbede shot and made a season-high 9 of 10 free throws while chipping in 4 of 5 field goals, too.

Dante Lombardi (freshman, management) added six points and six assists but turned the ball over four times.

IUP will look to make it 13 in a row Wednesday when the Crimson Hawks travel to Clarion.

“Obviously we don’t put too much focus on it (winning out),”

(Sara Bertram/ The Penn) Brandon Norfleet defended a shot in IUP’s 94-73 win over Edinboro University Saturday at the KCAC.

Diaz said. “It does come up in team conversation and we want to keep it going.”

The Golden Eagles will have upset on their minds with backto-back top seeds on the schedule. After its win over Mercyhurst, Clarion, 12-12 (9-9), holds a half-

game lead over Slippery Rock for the No. 5 seed and will attempt to make a late-season PSAC tournament push.

IUP won the matchup nearly a month ago, 83-74, with Norfleet, Glover and Lombardi combining for 59 points.

Wareham gets Crimson Hawks back on track

By ALEXANDRIA MANSFIELD Staff Writer A.M.Mansfield@iup.edu

Thanks in large part to a big effort from Marina Wareham, the Crimson Hawks won 73-60 against Edinboro University on Saturday.

Wareham (senior, exercise science) scored a careerhigh 24 points and went 6 of 8 on 3-point tries, another career high.

She also tied IUP’s record for second-highest number of 3-pointers made in a game.

Zhané Brooks (senior, chemistry/pre-pharmacy) and Megan Smith (sophomore, human resources) each contributed 14 points to the game, as well.

Brooks also had 10 rebounds, three assists and two steals while Smith added five rebounds.

Leslie Stapleton (senior, biology/pre-med) scored 10 points and

knocked down the 200th 3-point shot of her career.

“We need to keep playing aggressively, playing good defense, getting rebounds and pushing the ball against our opponents,” Wareham said.

“There is always room for improvement. I think we need to sharpen up a few things on both ends of the floor and keep work-

ing hard in practice.”

Although Edinboro held a 3023 lead against IUP in the second quarter, back-to-back 3-pointers from Wareham and Carolynn Appleby (freshman, safety science) pushed IUP into the lead before the end of the first half. The Crimson Hawks then outscored Edinboro 40-28 in the second half.

“I believe that our team did ex-

ceptionally well at moving the ball on offense and playing at a high level of intensity,” Wareham said.

The win was a sentimental one for Wareham, as it is her last season playing the sport she loves.

“It is always sad when anything comes to an end, especially something you have put so much time and effort into for years,” she said.

“Definitely bittersweet, but the memories I have made over these four years as a Crimson Hawk are ones I will never forget.

“The saddest part about the season coming to an end is not being able to play with my teammates, who I can call my sisters, after it is all said and done.”

The player in her might be coming to an end, but IUP will always be a huge part of Wareham’s life.

“Though my time as a student athlete at IUP is almost over, I still plan on coming back a lot in the next few years to watch my team-

mates continue their basketball careers as lady Crimson Hawks.”

IUP is currently ranked No. 2 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference West standings with an overall record of 16-6 (13-5).

They are preceded by California University of Pennsylvania, which stands at 16-5 (13-4).

With just a few games remaining, the race for the No. 1 seed will be difficult, but Wareham expressed confidence in the team’s chances.

“The last few games of the season will be tough, just like any other game we have played thus far,” she said, “but I always think of positive outcomes because I have faith in my teammates and know what we are capable of doing.

“All the PSAC teams are good, so every game from here on out is going to be a battle.”

IUP plays again at 5:30 p.m.

Wednesday at Clarion University.

Long journey leads to track star landing at IUP

Sports

Rivera may become the Crimson Hawks’ next All-American

By VAUGHN DALZELL Lead Sports Writer V.S.Dalzell@iup.edu

The location is Morelia, Mexico.

“It’s a perfect day,” Julius Rivera said. “It was hot but not too humid. There was a little wind. A little breeze.”

Rivera (redshirt sophomore, fashion merchandising) TRACK & FIELD is at the Central American and Caribbean Junior Championships when he gets down and rests his feet on the starting blocks. Heart pounding, sweat dripping on his track spikes. Julius looks up and awaits the signal.

“I false started the first event,” Rivera said. “I was sick; I knew I was disqualified. I just put my hands on my head and tried not to look at anybody.”

That feeling is one that not many people can really relate to, but there’s one person who can: Jose Rivera, Julius’ father.

“This happened to me at the Puerto Rico 110 hurdle collegiate

finals,” Jose said, “where I went into the finals with the secondfastest time and came out with nothing in 1979.

“My heart fell to my feet.”

Jose ran track at the University of Pittsburgh from 1981-83 and ran for Puerto Rico before. Jose was also Julius’ freshman-year hurdles coach and is now in his second year as the sprint coach at Carnegie Mellon University. He is also the program director for sports medicine and an IUP professor in the kinesiology, health & sport science department.

After Rivera’s false start, he rebounded. He won the 200 meters, recording a personal-best 21.43 seconds, which qualified him for the world championships.

“It’s his determination and confidence that helped him get to where he is, and that is going to take him far in life,” his father said.

Rivera’s journey started in Monroeville, where his track history started in middle school. Encouraged by his father after his eighth-grade year, Rivera joined

Julius Rivera

(IUP Athletics)

Future Star Athletics. He was then coached by Lou Berry and his father a year later.

“Athletically,” his father said, “one of the most amazing experiences anyone can have is for your own child to develop a love for something you also love and then watch him develop and take it to a higher level than you ever did.”

A graduate of Gateway High School in Pittsburgh, Rivera took home many awards before graduating in 2013. He helped his high school win WPIAL and PIAA class

AAA titles in the 4x100. He also ran the 100 and 200 meters in his senior year.

Rivera continued to take advantage of his talent in and out of the country by running for Junior USA Olympics and qualifying for World Juniors. Rivera was also a key component for Puerto Rico’s National Team, made up of men and women between the ages of 18 and 20. In 2014, Rivera ran for the team and took home first in the 100 meters and second in the 200 meters.

When it came time to choose a university, Julius actually decided on an IUP rival: California University of Pennsylvania.

In Rivera’s sophomore year, he ran a blazing 10.76-second outdoor school record in the 100-meter dash. Rivera also broke the indoor 60-meters with a 6.88-second dash the same day.

How did Rivera end up at IUP, then? His father played a role.

“When he graduated from high school, I tried very hard not to influence his decision,” Rivera said. “After a year and several factors influencing Julius’ decision to transfer, I did mention the pros of coming to IUP. “I think I might have had some influence, in the end.”

Julius’ love for his major was enough to convince him to transfer. Rivera studied marketing at Cal U, but now he takes up fashion merchandising. After graduation, he has a few different career

opportunities to think over.

“I would like to work as a product developer one day, maybe for a company like H&M,” he said. “If all goes as planned with track, I would like to go back and run for the Puerto Rico National Team.”

Rivera just missed the NCAA cut last year with Cal U but thinks this is his year to make nationals.

He has a chance to make PSAC history by claiming individual university records and PSAC records for two different universities.

Rivera recently earned IUP Athlete of the Week honors when he recorded his 6.86-second time in the indoor 60 meters at the Penn State National Track and Field meet, the second fastest mark in school history. Rivera placed sixth with a time of 6.88 in the finals at PSU a week after his 6.93 60-meter Crimson Hawk debut.

Teammate Judah Klein (redshirt sophomore, human development and environmental studies) pointed out that Rivera’s pedigree provides a huge boon to the rest of the team.

“To have a champion on your team, you can work with them [and] compete against them every day at practice,” he said. “That can benefit you and him if you’re both giving your 100 percent.”

IUP hasn’t had an All-American since 2011, but if Rivera can continue to excel and repeat as PSAC champion in a different uniform, don’t be surprised if he becomes the next.

each QB’s legacy?

By JOSE VILLENEUVE Contributing Writer J.A.Villeneuve@iup.edu

Well, that was boring.

After all the hype, media attention on Cam Newton, the Dab and (maybe) Peyton’s last hurrah, Super Bowl 50 didn’t live up to the hype.

In fact, I think it was worse than the 43-8 blowout we saw two years ago. At least that game had a few more touchdowns. Super Bowl 50 was barely impacted by the quarterbacks, but let’s dig into them a little and talk about how their legacies were impacted after Sunday’s defensive Super Bowl.

Peyton Manning “The Sheriff” won his second championship on Sunday night, and it also marked the 200th win of his historic career, breaking the all-time record for wins by a quarterback previously held by Brett Favre at 199.

Now, Manning has a pedestrian 2-2 record in the Super Bowl, and it is something to think about how

Manning managed to make four appearances playing in the same conference Tom Brady does. A loss on Sunday would have put Manning in bad company, as three other quarterbacks have threeplus Super Bowl losses and only one managed to also add a win, that being John Elway. But that didn’t happen. Unless he surprises the world, this should also be Manning’s ride off into the sunset.

There were already arguments for Manning as the best ever, but now with two Super Bowl rings on his hand, he only made his case stronger.

Cam Newton While his elder counterpart won the big game, Newton has the luxury of age. While Manning is thought to be regressing, Newton has made tremendous improvements since coming into the league. You’ve heard it many times: Newton is the most revolutionary quarterback to play the game. There have been quarterbacks with his size and his speed, but never both.

He is built to last a long time, at least physically. His legacy is just getting started. He is only 26 years old and is changing the way the game is played. He will get better and probably break records, although probably not any held by Manning.

He was one of the youngest to ever to play in the Super Bowl.

With the core the Panthers have, Newton should contend for many Super Bowls to come.

Zins satisfied with IUP’s performance at YSU By malusi kitchen Contributing Writer M.J.Kitchen@iup.edu

The Crimson Hawks men’s and women’s track team produced some of their best outputs of the year at Youngstown State’s National Invitational Friday and Saturday.

Alex Hampel (senior, biology) ran with a TRACK & FIELD time of 8:40.59 in the 3,000-meter race.

Derek Horton (freshman, kinesiology, health & sports science) finished second in the pole vault event with a jump of 4.75 meters, which qualified him for the NCAA Championships.

Hutson Baumann (freshman, kinesiology, health & sports science), Greg Beaudette (junior, kinesiology, health & sports science) and Caleb Cordell (junior, computer science) also qualified for the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Championships. Joe Lynch’s (graduate, kinesiology, health & sports science) mile time of 4:24.34 was good enough for a PSAC qualifying mark. Demetrius Timmons (sophomore, com-

puter science) qualified with a jump of 6.45 meters in the long jump.

Head coach Joey Zins got results from his runners, and his team has a great sense of the competition, so preparation is key in having a good outing in the meets.

“Our team was able to get onto the track this week and have some quality practices,” Zins said.

“We are preparing for the return of colder temperatures and snow this week, however. Some of our team will be practicing at the S&T Arena, and our distance runners will likely have to spend some time on the treadmills.”

Additonally, eight women qualified for PSAC times in their events.

Kiah Walton (sophomore, environmental studies) qualified in the 60 meters and the 60-meter hurdles, with times of 8.13 and 9.64, respectively. Lizzy Cunningham’s (senior, nursing) 800 time of 2:23.44 qualified her, as well.

Other highlights of the weekend included Heather Sternby (sophomore, sophomore) finishing with a time of 59.87 in the 400.

Zhane Valmon’s (fresh-

man, sociology) participation in the 60 meters and 200-meters race led to great results, as she qualified for the championships with an 8.10 in the 60 meters and a 26.26 in the 200 meters.

Zins and the Crimson Hawks are very familiar with this meet considering that this is their third time competing at it.

“Our team is obviously becoming very familiar with the indoor facility at Youngstown State,” Zins said.

“YSU’s indoor meets generally have good competition for all of our athletes, and it is obviously nice that we only have to travel two hours away from campus to go to quality meets.

“The indoor season is short so we have to compete with a sense of urgency and try to get things accomplished each time we go to a meet. For this meet, one of our objectives was to get as many athletes qualified for our conference championship as possible.”

The Grand Valley State University Big Meet in Allendale, Mich., is the next stop for the Crimson Hawks, where they will compete on Friday and Saturday.
