Young & Sick drops out of Homecoming lineup Revenue for Chance the Rapper concert higher than expected By PETE SIRIANNI Managing Editor P.M.Sirianni@iup.edu
While the 2014 homecoming concert brought in more revenue than expected, Thursday’s show did not go off without at least a small hitch. Young & Sick, the project of Dutch musician Nick Van Hofwegen, was scheduled to open for Chance the Rapper as part of the Verge Campus Tour but unexpectedly canceled late Wednesday night. “The tour rep, Matt [Walt, The Entertainment Network’s middle agent], didn’t offer any explanation,” TEN adviser Zach Clark said. “It was just Young & Sick had canceled for all four [upcoming concerts], and IUP was one of them.” Young & Sick performed a set at the Austin City Limits Music Festival Friday afternoon. The Tour replaced Young & Sick with Nashville-based R&B artist Kandace Springs. “For us, it didn’t change anything,” Clark said. “The only thing that it changed was the experience for our audience that we advertised and were under the impression that Young & Sick was going to be there, and they weren’t.” This created a situation where at least one fan requested a refund of the $15 ticket. “With our shows,” Clark said, “we operate with past practice and our loose policy, with that kind of situation, is
that if it’s not the headliner, we won’t refund tickets, because that’s not really what the show was about. “When the headliner cancels, then we’ll refund tickets.” Since Clark started working with TEN in 2007, there have been only two headliners who canceled appearances. A$AP Rocky was supposed to headline at last year’s homecoming concert before being replaced with Machine Gun Kelly, Pusha-T and Schoolboy Q. Bruno Mars canceled a show in December 2009 and then backed out of plans for a show later in the Spring 2010 semester. However, TEN has been in contact with the Verge Tour to see if there is any possibility that they will refund patrons who purchased tickets solely for Young & Sick. “We’re trying to work with the tour to try to get them some compensation,” Clark said. Aside from having a different opening act along with regularly scheduled Sweater Beats, the show was deemed a success, according to Clark. After projecting around 2,000 tickets sold, a total of 2,100 tickets were sold. This created $33,330 in revenue, just above the projected total of $30,000. “That $33,000 will essentially pay for the KCAC costs,” Clark said. “So, total cost of the show is going to be right around $85,000, which is a whole lot better than where we were last year at this time. “So, we’re going to be in better finan-
cial shape in the next couple months, so that’s probably going to equal at least two more shows in the spring.” The extra shows help TEN carry out its mission statement of bringing in entertainment that the student body wants to see. “We want to be good stewards of the students’ money,” Clark said. “This isn’t TEN’s money – this is the students’ money. We’re given a portion of that money to bring awesome programming to the students. It’s programming by us for the students.” Included in the cost of the entire Verge Tour was the addition of vendor tents in front of the Hadley Union Building and a speaking engagement by two members of MTV’s “Buried Life.” “The Buried Life” alone would have normally cost around $30,000 alone, according to Clark. Upcoming TEN events include a sold-out trip to Kennywood Amusement Park, the Icona Pop concert Oct. 28 and comedian Bo Burnham’s performance Nov. 3. The organization is starting to reach out to students for input on spring semester shows and concerts. “TEN is going to be hitting social media and possibly Qualtrics,” Clark said. “TEN will be hitting both of those pretty hard trying to generate some new ideas for the spring.” Students can voice their opinions to TEN on Facebook or on Twitter using the hashtag #WhoIWantAtIUP.
Anthropology student goes on wildlife internship to Madagascar By MARY ROMEO Staff Writer M.E.Romeo@iup.edu
While exploring the wildlife of Madagascar, Kyle Murray (senior, anthropology) not only stumbled upon a new career path, but also a rare species of lemur. Murray chose the Madagascar Field School internship based on his prior interests in primates and biology. Being the only anthropology major among all biology majors, Murray admitted he was a bit nervous before the trip but was fortunate to have friends that helped him in the field. Every day for the next several weeks, Murray spent approximately six hours in the rainforest conducting research
News
with his fellow classmates. Some of the experiments conducted were nocturnal mammal trapping and botanical surveying. “We did it to get two different perspectives on the forest in terms of wildlife and plants,” Murray said. With the help of other students, Murray safely captured and marked small animals before testing their blood and bodily fluids, then released them back into the wild. When Murray and the other students were not doing experiments, they would routinely go on hikes. “Most of the lemurs are endangered and rare to find, but we were very lucky to encounter the Golden Bamboo Lemur,” Murray said. The weather in Madagascar was of-
ten rainy. Murray usually didn’t bring his camera out because of this. “The Lemur was something I unexpectedly found on a hike,” Murray said, “and it was just a very lucky find.” He expressed that they were fortunate to have one week out of the five that it did not rain. “I was fortunate to see something so rare and have my camera on me as well.” Murry explained that the experience helped put him in the right career path. “I always liked anthropology,” he said. “I just wasn’t sure what to do with it. “The internship really brought out my interest in primates once I saw them in person,” Murray said. “It helped usher me in the right direction and allowed me to pursue primatology further.”

Winners of Co-op T-shirt contest are announced By CASEY KELLY Staff Writer C.E.Kelly@iup.edu
To encourage homecoming shirts with a positive message, the Center for Student Life organized a contest with cash prizes for student organizations to enter. The contest had six categories: Best Representation of Citizen, Leadership and Engagement, Best Alcohol Free/ Alcohol Safety Homecoming Message, Best Representation of Your Student Organization, Most School Spirit, IUP Women’s Empowerment and Best Promotion of Health and Well-Being. Each category was sponsored by a different organization. To be eligible, the T-shirt design could not reference alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, political propaganda, nudity, sexually explicit content, profanity or content that negatively depicts any individual or group.
The President’s Prize, Best Representation of Citizenship, Leadership and Engagement, were worth $500 and won by the IUP Audiology Student Association. The back of the shirt read, “Let your dreams be bigger than your fears and your actions be louder than your words.” The Armstrong/Indiana/Clarion Drug and Alcohol Commission sponsored the Best Alcohol Free/Alcohol Safety Homecoming Message with a prize of $400. The IUP Graduate Society of Human Resource Management won this category. “Our shirts had a hawk riding the wrecking ball with the saying, ‘Don’t wreck your future,’” Dylan Dippold, vice president of the club, said. “We are donating a portion of the sales of the pink T-shirts to breast cancer awareness, and the rest of the profit from the gray shirts will support the club.” Alpha Tau Delta, a nursing frater-
nity, won the Most School Spirit award, a cash prize of $200 sponsored by the Co-op Store. Their design was a collage of words like parade, football, tradition and other homecoming lingo. “We wanted to encompass all the aspects of homecoming into the shirt,” said Ashley Enciso, president of ATD. The Best Representation of Your Recognized Student Organization, a prize of $300 from the Center for Student Life, was split between two organizations: IUP Pride and the GAP Ministry.

State capital building burned in Mexico during protest over missing students By TIM JOHNSON McClatchy Foreign Staff MCT
MEXICO CITY – Masked demonstrators protesting the disappearance of 43 students in the Pacific coast state of Guerrero late last month set fire Monday to the state’s government headquarters after fierce clashes with riot police. Some 600 protesters in Chilpancingo, Guerrero’s capital, began their siege of the headquarters at around noon. As clashes with riot police wore on, the protesters allowed women employees to leave the modernist structure around 3 p.m., then later forced the remaining employees to leave. Some protesters ran through the building breaking windows, news reports said. By late afternoon, huge flames erupted from the glass-fronted building. A snack truck parked nearby erupted in flames, hit by a Molotov cocktail. The sinembargo.mx news portal said five teams of firefighters were battling the blaze. There were no immediate reports of
injuries. As a federal police helicopter flew over the building, protesters fired bottle rockets at it. They later fled the government compound aboard waiting buses. The unrest was the worst since the events of Sept. 26 in the city of Iguala, where more than 100 students from the Ayotzinapa teachers college arrived to solicit funds, only to find police firing at their commandeered buses. Six students were killed, some 20 wounded, and 43 taken into police custody, only to vanish. Days later, authorities found mass graves outside the city, but so far they have not determined through DNA testing if 28 bodies found in them belong to any of the missing students. In Mexico City, students at two universities called a two-day sympathy strike starting Tuesday to demand that the 43 missing students be returned alive. The strike may shut both the Autonomous National University of Mexico – with more than 200,000 students, Latin America’s largest – and the Autonomous Metropolitan University.

Dr. Mark Staszkiewicz received IUP’s College of Education and Educational Technology Faculty Leadership Award. (Katlynn Resides/ The Penn)
IUP professor awarded for leadership services By SAMANTHA FRENCH Staff Writer S.M.French@iup.edu
This year, the College of Education and Educational Technology at Indiana University of Pennsylvania made the choice to recognize a faculty member that dedicated time to service others. The College of Education and Educational Technology Faculty Leadership Award is for a faculty member who has provided service through leadership and mentoring over the years. The professor who was nominated by the chair committee was Dr. Mark Staszkiewicz, who has worked at IUP for 33 years in various positions. He is now a teacher for graduate students in
research and statistics. “No one role was of certain importance over the years, though,” Staszkiewicz said, “because they all helped shape me.” The nomination itself was surprising to the professor, so it was even more of a shock to Staszkiewicz to win the award. “I was surprised to have won this award because I thought that after 33 years, I was just going to be put high up on a shelf,” he said. There is a key idea that Staszkiewicz thought played an important role in his winning of this award. “Service is making sure that everyone has the opportunity and that there is no one who is unimportant,” he said. Staszkiewicz said he had an experi-
ence that made him realize this and look at life differently as he worked his way from the middle of the university to the top in jobs. “While I was preparing for a business trip, I called up places to live, and I thought I was so much better than other people and said, ‘This is Dr. Staszkiewicz calling.’ “The landlord said to me that he didn’t care who I am. I can still be the rear-end of a horse.” Dr. Staszkiewicz has worked hard through the years and never expected to receive an award from his services. He advises others to do the same with their given time by remembering this: “Quality service is better than quantity service.”

‘Decisive force’ seen as likely to end Hong Kong protests By STUART LEAVENWORTH McClathy Foreign Staff MCT
BEIJING – Organized gangs of masked men clashed Monday with Hong Kong protesters, prompting a leading Hong Kong security consulting firm to warn that police are likely to use “decisive force” to end the Occupy Central demonstrations in the near future. The security firm, Steve Vickers & Associates, is led by a former Hong Kong police commander who advises corporate clients in one of the world’s major trading centers. Driving the firm’s assessment was the role in the assaults of pro-Beijing organized crime outfits, including members of the notorious Triad gangs, with little intervention by government authorities. “The blatant Triad involvement will cause longer term difficulties in policing Hong Kong, post Occupy Central,” the firm said in a statement. “This situation is exacerbated by perceived inaction by government against senior level Triad office-bearers.” Hong Kong protesters, many of them students or recent graduates, have occupied three parts of Hong Kong for more than two weeks now, disrupting traffic and many businesses. Protesters are demanding that China and its Hong Kong administrators allow citizens to choose their own candidates for Hong Kong’s chief executive in the 2017 election, as opposed to having a committee loyal to Beijing pick who can run. On Monday, a group of counterprotesters, some wearing masks, showed up at the main protest site, in Admiralty. They attempted to dismantle barricades, flung themselves at protesters and then hung around for hours, mixing it up with police and trying to pick fights, according to reports from Hong Kong media. The Vickers firm made reference to that deal Monday, stating that since the 1997 handover, some high-level Triad members have received “mainland recognition and titles.” Hong Kong authorities have at least twice rejected suggestions that they have allowed organized gangs to assault and intimidate protests. They have repeatedly urged protesters to end their occupations, both for their own safety and to end disruptions to Hong Kong residents. The protests are dragging on largely because neither the government nor protest groups have agreed to conditions for negotiations, much less what might be on the table. Hong Kong’s chief ex-
ecutive, C.Y. Leung, who’s also known as Leung Chun-ying, said Sunday that there was “almost zero” chance of Beijing agreeing to the protesters’ terms for reconsidering Hong Kong’s 2017 elections. He said the protests had “spun out of control.” The situation is further complicated by splits within the protest movement itself. Older pro-democracy activists have urged the younger occupiers to claim victory, retreat and plan a new phase of civil disobedience. But student groups in Admiralty refuse to budge. Meanwhile, many demonstrators in Mong Kok, a tightly packed, less affluent section of Hong Kong, say their protests are independent of those in Admiralty. Clear leaders are hard to come by. Here in Beijing, the state media of the Communist Party has attempted to blame the United States for the Hong Kong protests. In a commentary published Friday, the People’s Daily newspaper accused the National Endowment for Democracy, a Washington-based nonprofit group, of facilitating the Hong Kong protests as part of a U.S. strategy to undermine China and other governments. “The U.S. may enjoy the sweet taste of interfering in other countries’ internal affairs,” the commentary said. “But on the issue of Hong Kong it stands little chance of overcoming the determination of the Chinese government to maintain stability and prosperity.” On Friday, deputy State Department spokeswoman Marie Harf rejected China’s claims, saying the U.S. government was not “manipulating the activities of any person, group or political party in Hong Kong.” Vickers said Monday that, despite all the political intrigue, many Hong Kongers have seen their city disrupted by the protesters, reducing immediate support for their occupations. By Monday evening Hong Kong time, the counterdemonstrators had withdrawn, according to local media and Occupy Central leaders. Protesters were reported to be refortifying barricades on key streets, including some who were using concrete to buttress makeshift road blockades. “The longer that Occupy Central movement continues to disrupt daily life in Hong Kong, the more likely that civilian-on-civilian clashes will occur. With that, the probability that decisive force will be required by the police to end the occupation” also grows, Vickers said.

Geography major plans to attend World Race July 2015 By CASEY KELLY Staff Writer C.E.Kelly@iup.edu
Senior geography major Ryan Brown is planning to take his travel volunteer work to the next level after graduation on the World Race in July 2015. The World Race is an 11-monthlong Christian mission trip to 11 different countries in four different continents. On this trip, Brown will be traveling to Albania, Romania, Malawi, Zambia, Thailand, Cambodia, Malaysia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Peru and Chile. He will be staying with either host families or in churches in each country. The World Race has five different routes leaving from the United States. Each route consists of 40 to 60 racers. The racers are split into squads of six to seven people with whom they will spend a majority of their time abroad. Brown has been volunteering for
many years now. On his first-ever mission trip to Haiti, Brown said he realized that he could help people in third world countries more than he thought. “There are so many places where people are in such worse conditions,” Brown said. “If I have the opportunity to help them – or to do anything – then I will try to always do that for the rest of my life.” Brown said that many of the people who donate to his mission trips are people who cannot take the time to volunteer themselves. “I’m in my 20s, young and healthy: I have the ability to do these things on my off time, and a lot of people don’t,” Brown said. “They’re older, they have families, and those people support and invest in me and have done so for years. That’s what helps me go.” At Indiana University of Pennsylva-
nia, Brown said that the two things he has taken away from his environmental geography major are to respect and take notice of nature and culture. Through his travels, he is expanding his knowledge with hands-on experience that he will carry with him throughout his entire career. “I think that we all have gifts and passions and desires that can actually be used to help better the world instead of just using it for our own benefits,” he said. “It’s a lot about making me smaller and the world bigger.” Brown must raise a total of $16,000 in donations to go on the World Race. He currently has raised about $500, and must have at least $3,500 by April. He will be selling T-shirts to help raise money. Donations can be made at ryanbrown.theworldrace.org.

Police invade individual’s privacy through technology With IUP homecoming weekend now over, it is hard to overlook the file cabinet of criminal reports that are being put away for drinking, drugs and other absurd acts that students partook in this weekend. One may ask, “How can the police force find all of the parties and locations of the illegal activity in Indiana? The answer is simple: technology. Modern communication allows for technology to leak access for the world to see where, what and who is doing anything through text messaging, social media accounts and tracking devices on cellular devices. “The new surveillance technology that many police forces are using is the StingRay (also marketed as Triggerfish, IMSI Catcher, Cell-site Simulator or Digital Analyzer), a sophisticated, portable spy device able to track cell phone signals inside vehicles, homes and insulated buildings,” according to Global Research. “StingRay trackers act as fake cell towers, allowing police investigators to pinpoint location of a targeted wireless mobile by sucking up phone data such as text messages, emails and cell-site information.” It is no secret that technology is evolving, but it is now invading our personal lives as workers, students and family members. This weekend, numerous Twitter accounts and Facebook posts stating locations of parties, the alcohol provided and names of party hosts. These thoughtless media posts can reveal and also convict many students with the push of a button.

Plastic bag ban, other good bills signed By SAN JOSE MERCURY TIMES MCT
The following editorial appeared in the Star Tribune on Tuesday, Sept. 30: Gov. Jerry Brown’s efforts to clean up California have been impressive in the past four years, but he outdid himself Tuesday when he signed the nation’s first statewide ban on single-use plastic bags at grocery and convenience stores. This was one of a number of bills the governor signed that will improve life in California. Among them are a provision for gun-restraining orders, a “yes means yes” law defining sexual consent in the state’s colleges and universities and a bill allowing community colleges to offer four-year degrees. While we disagreed with some of the governor’s vetoes – including drone regulation and improved suicide prevention – he and the Legislature generally did a good job. Sen. Alex Padilla’s landmark ban on one-time use plastic bags can be a model for other states.
Opinion
Californians used a whopping 13 billion plastic bags last year, 95 percent of which were not recycled. The national recycling rate is slightly better, but the benefits of existing bans are irrefutable: San Jose reduced plastic bag litter by 60 percent in creeks and 59 percent in streets and neighborhoods. The governor’s signature on the ban seals a significant victory for environmentalists at the grass-roots level. They took on the powerful plastics industry city by city, winning in more than 100 jurisdictions to increase pressure on the Legislature to act statewide. Sen. Marty Block’s SB 850 recognizes that California’s colleges and universities do not have the capacity to graduate enough workers to meet the state’s needs. The bill allows up to 15 community college districts to offer a single, four-year degree in select careers, such as health care, information technology or automotive technology. We’d like to see Bay Area community colleges take part and build the program. Sen. Kevin de Leon’s SB 967 makes California the first state to
establish an affirmative consent standard at the state’s colleges and universities. It was heartening to see student activists back the bill so strongly. It will provide additional safeguards for students and serve as a culture change agent in the fight against sexual abuse, which seems to be rampant on college campuses. Assemblywoman Nancy Skinner’s AB 1014 will allow family members of someone showing signs of mental instability to request a court order temporarily barring the person from using or buying a gun. It was a response to the Isla Vista shootings near UC Santa Barbara this year, and it’s a sensible addition to the public’s limited capacity to prevent gun violence. Finally, we have to note Sen. Ricardo Lara’s SB 873, which makes $3 million available to nonprofits for legal aid to the estimated 4,600 unaccompanied minors from Central America now in California. Without legal help, the children have little hope of asylum, and deportation for many will be tantamount to a death sentence. That’s OK with the federal government, but it’s not OK with us.

There is no better way to unwind after a long school day than to sit under a tree in the Oak Grove and dive into a good book. Until an acorn falls from above and nearly concusses you. For the past month or so, more and more acorns have been wiggling their way from the branches of trees and falling at dangerous speeds to the ground, barely missing the heads of many students. Is this simply an innocent act of nature, or is it a ruthless plot for revenge? “Just last week, I was taking a selfie underneath one of the trees, and two acorns came down and conked me right on the head,” Candy Cane (sophomore, international squirrel affairs) said. “So my amazing selfie was essentially ruined. I looked up, and I swear I saw a squirrel giggling to himself before he scampered down the tree.” But humans are not the only victims in this situation. “A squirrel went crazy on my dog the other day,” Bat Mann (senior, fry cooking) said. “Burrito – I named him that because the pet store I bought him in also doubled as a Taco Bell – was just walking around, and he decided to, you know, relieve himself on one of the trees. The squirrel was not having that. It immediately jumped down from its branch and starting this crazy highpitch squealing. It was actually kind of
cute. But Poor Burrito was terrified. He hasn’t gone to the bathroom in days.” When asked to comment, none of the squirrels were up to elaborating on the reasoning behind their vicious attacks. But there are several theories out there. “Uh,” Fred Fredericks (junior, Nexflixology) said. “The squirrels are bitter about something,” said Natalie Nut, Indiana County’s designated squirrel whisperer, and probably the only squirrel whisperer ever. “It is our job to be kind to them, to treat them with love and respect,” she said. “Invite them to dinner at the dining hall, or for tea at Java City. Make them feel included. Only then will they act kindly toward us again.” Students are not advised to follow Nut’s advice. Bringing squirrels into an eating area breaks many health codes. It seems as though the angry squirrels will only continue their antics until the winter sends them into hibernation. But until then, it is important to remember one thing: “Squirrels are people too,” Nut said. “They get sad, they get lonely, and they get mad. We must work with them during this hard time to make negotiations and restore peace in Indiana.” Students are also encouraged to ask not what the squirrels can do for them, but what they can do for the squirrels.

IUP concert band performed homecoming finale
EASY CHICKEN CORDON BLEU
By SAMANTHA FRENCH Contributing Writer S.M.French@iup.edu
For college students, eating out is simple. But only so many hamburgers or pizzas can be eaten before a homecooked meal is desired. The ability to balance the intake of protein and carbohydrates is important, as well as tasty. This chicken cordon bleu recipe is simple for students to make right in their dorms or homes, and it is possible to make for roommates, too. The main proteins in this dish are chicken breast, deli ham and cheese. As an added bonus, the leftovers from the packages of ham and cheese can be used later for sandwiches. The first step is to decide how much chicken to use to clean off the fat with a
knife and rinse the chicken. The next step is to brown the chicken breasts for 8 minutes in a non-stick pan with small amount of butter, salt and pepper. The sauce used can be a garlic sauce made by Progresso, an alfredo sauce or even just chicken broth with your seasonings of choice. Bring the chosen sauce to a boil. While the chicken is cooking in the sauce, a simple side-dish can be prepared. Minute rice or a quick pasta can be tossed together in no time at all. The final step is to add the sauce on top of each chicken breast, ham and cheese slices. Place the noodles or rice on the side of the plate next to the chicken breasts. The total amount of time to make this simple meal is 30 minutes.

Renner sinks his teeth into ‘Kill the Messenger’ journalist role By RICK BENTLEY The Fresno Bee MCT

LOS ANGELES – Playing the skilled bowman Hawkeye in the “The Avengers” earned Jeremy Renner worldwide recognition. Now, Renner stars in “Kill the Messenger,” a special effects-free movie that trades intergalactic battles for arguments over a desk. “Kill the Messenger,” a more cerebral story of newspaper reporting, might seem a leap down in stature for the twotime Oscar nominee. Renner doesn’t see it that way. “I’m thinking of how, as a performer, can I be as truthful as I can,” Renner says. “This is movie that needs to be seen. This is a story that needs to be told.” The story, which also lured Renner as a producer, examines the career and personal rise and fall of San Jose Mercury News reporter Gary Webb. His story on how the CIA turned a blind eye to drug dealers because the profits were used to arm rebels in Nicaragua initially earned the journalist high praise. Eventually, the journalism world – including his own newspaper – turned on him over his methods at covering the story, ending his career.
Renner was attracted to the role because the film takes a story with global implications and boils it down to a tale of one man who believes he’s doing the right thing and examines how long he can hold on to that belief when the entire world sees him as a liar and a fraud. Although Renner grew up in Modesto – not that far from where Webb’s story unfolded in San Jose – the actor had never heard of Gary Webb before seeing the movie’s script. The fact he didn’t know anything about the story was another reason Renner wanted to make the movie. He knows movie like “The Avengers” are important for their entertainment value. But he believes films like “Kill the Messenger” are needed to shine a spotlight on events and people who might not be well known. “Kill the Messenger” is a different kind of role for Renner, who has been in “Hurt Locker,” “The Town,” “American Hustle” and “The Bourne Legacy.” Because he was playing a role based on a real person, he entered into the project with a feeling of great responsibility to perform at the best of his ability. He was given access by Webb’s family to home videos and other materials, which gave Renner enough information on how to play Webb both as a journalist and as a family man. Renner never
felt like he knew the role 100 percent. “I raise my hands in victory only because his wife, Sue, and all of the kids watched the movie,” Renner started to say, but paused as his emotions got the best of him, “and they were very proud. I’m so happy they are happy.” One part of Webb’s story that Renner could not fully understand was how Webb could become so obsessed with a story that he didn’t stop even when it put his family in danger. Renner understands being obsessed with something, but as a man who loves his family, he has a hard time understanding what would push someone to go to such deadly extremes. He reconciled Webb’s actions by deciding it was this dogged determination that separated him from a lot of other reporters: He wasn’t going to let anything stop him from getting this story. He didn’t realize it at the time, but Renner had done some prep work to play Webb when he made the 2008 film, “The Hurt Locker.” His conversation with war reporters and photographers gave him an insight into all of the relationships that are formed – such as with a reporter and editor – through covering a story. “I also found out how much bureaucracy and corporate influence there are with newspapers,” Renner said.

IUP topples Seton Hill to keep streak alive Crimson Hawks’ 51-28 rout of Griffins gives IUP four straight homecoming wins By JOSH HILL Staff Writer J.M.Hill5@iup.edu
The Indiana University of Pennsylvania Crimson Hawks (5-1) defeated the Seton Hill University Griffins (1-5) in the homecoming game by a score of 51-28 in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference showdown, giving IUP its fourth straight homecoming win. “It’s probably the craziest game I’ve been a part of as a head coach,” Curt Cignetti said following the victory. FOOTBALL Darian Bradley (sophomore, kinesiology health and sport science) tied a school record with four rushing touchdowns in one game, and his final two scores wore down Seton Hill, putting the game solely in the Crimson Hawks possession. “Towards the end of the game, we started seeing [Seton Hill] tap out,” Bradley said. “They didn’t want to keep hitting us.” IUP scored the final 21 points of the matinee to secure their fourth straight victory, but the game was very highly contested throughout. IUP and Seton Hill traded a pair of touchdowns in the first quarter, starting with Walt Pegues’ (freshman, communications) 96-yard punt return, which is now the longest in IUP history.

Seton Hill quarterback Drew Jackson had over 400 yards passing and threw the ball an astounding 71 times in the game. FJ Williams and Jarvis McClam led the way for Seton Hill, as both receivers had 12 receptions and a touchdown to their credit. Jackson helped keep the IUP defense on its toes early on by finding Williams and McClam on a number of no-huddle screen passes. Conversely, the Griffins were held to just 58 yards on the ground. Head coach Isaac Collins had to be a bit creative in order to move the ball on offense. “You’ve got to find a way to manufacture the run game and supplement it,” Collins said, “and throwing the quick screens is like running a sweep play.” IUP kept Seton Hill off the board in a tie game on a drive in the second quarter, where the Griffins had the ball on the IUP 1-yard line. Safety Jake Campbell (junior, chemistry) stopped Brandon Stout in the backfield on third down, a play that led to a missed field goal. Starting in place of an injured Takhi Turner (freshman, management), Campbell was one of the headlining players for IUP. Additionally, Shane Meisner (senior, criminology) was able to intercept Jackson late in the game, as he jumped into the air and plucked the ball down with one hand. This play sealed the Griffins fate and impressed Cignetti, who was very happy with his team’s resolve. “I think this team’s got a lot of character, a lot of substance to it,” Cignetti said. IUP next hits the road for a matchup against the California University of Pennsylvania Vulcans, who defeated Slippery Rock University 48-26 on Saturday. Kickoff of the annual Coal Bowl is scheduled for 1 p.m. Saturday at Adamson Stadium. Cal’s victory also created a three-way tie for first place in the PSAC West, giving IUP an added incentive vs. Cal U.

IUP field hockey top Griffins to hit .500 Crimson Hawks have won five of last six By JAKE ENDERS Staff Writer J.G.Enders@iup.edu
The Indiana University of Pennsylvania women’s field hockey defeated Seton Hill University 2-1 FIELD HOCKEY in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference game Saturday night at George P. Miller Stadium. The win pushed IUP’s record to 5-5 (4-4 in the PSAC) on the season. After losing their first four games, the Crimson Hawks have now won five of their last six games, vaulting themselves into fifth place in the 11-team conference. IUP head coach Gary Agard explained his team’s turnaround. “We made adjustments,” he said. “We started playing seniors in different positions, and right now, it’s really working for us. We’re always adjusting.” IUP opened the scoring at 22:46 of the first half, taking a lead with a goal by forward Chelsea Wanamaker (senior, psychology). The Crimson Hawks dominated play
throughout the majority of the first half, yet went into the intermission ahead only 1-0. In the second half, Seton Hill’s Brittany Davis evened the score on a great individual effort, slashing through several defenders before knocking the ball into the cage. IUP, however, was not intimidated, and Haley Fidler (sophomore, exercise science) scored less than four minutes later to retake the lead. Madelyn Mullen (freshman, marketing) assisted on the goal. The 2-1 lead continued despite several quality scoring chances for the Griffins. The first goal prompted some controversy, as Wanamaker’s shot came from outside the penalty circle. Seton Hill’s goalkeeper didn’t play the ball, allowing it to enter the net. In field hockey, any shot from outside the circle cannot result in a goal unless it is first touched inside the circle by a player from either team. The referee allowed the goal, ruling that a Seton Hill player had made contact with the ball. The Griffins went on to protest the call. However, Seton Hill’s arguments could not reverse her decision, and the
goal stood. The Crimson Hawks played strongly in their own defensive end of the field, allowing two shots on goal throughout the game while recording seven of their own and attempting another nine. IUP’s goalkeepers split the game, as Darian Shuker (senior, business) played the first half – recording one save – before Alyssa Lerda (sophomore, earth and space science) relieved her in the second half. In a game that featured seven yellow cards, the Crimson Hawks refused to allow the extracurricular activities to interfere with their performance. “Both teams played aggressive,” Agard said. “But we did a good job not [engaging].” If the PSAC playoffs were to start today, IUP would claim the No. 5 seed. Six teams advance to the playoffs. However, with seven games remaining – all of them within the conference – the Crimson Hawks can improve their position if they continue to play smart and work hard. Agard expressed optimism. “We always have hopes for the playoffs,” he said.
IUP women finish eighth at Carnegie Mellon Invitational By JASON JARVIS Staff Writer J.Jarvis@iup.edu
Homecoming weekend saw Indiana University of Pennsylvania notch an eighth-place finish at the Carnegie Mellon Cross Country Invitational. The men’s team fielded only four runners and did not qualify for points, but the women’s team qualified. Head coach Joey Zins explained his stratCROSS egy after the Crimson Hawks’ fourth meet of the season. “We did not field COUNTRY our top 10 runners for men’s or women’s,” he said. “I wanted to give some of our runners a chance to rest up for some of our upcoming meets.” Unlike the men’s team, the women’s team was able to field enough runners to qualify for points and finished eighth
out of 16 total teams. For the first time this season, Maggie McChesney (sophomore, speech pathology) led the IUP women’s team. McChesney had a time of 21:03.6, good enough for 49th place. Right behind her, in 50th place, was teammate Becky Wilson (junior, nursing) with a time of 21:07.8. IUP should have the full team back together for their next meet in two weeks, when it travels to Lock Haven University for the Go Fast River Run Saturday, Oct. 25, at 1:45 p.m.

Crimson Hawks not stirred by losing streak Women’s soccer team has lost three in a row, but remains hopeful By CASSIE PUTT Staff Writer C.L.Putt@iup.edu
Indiana University of Pennsylvania dropped to 7-2-4 in the Pennsylvania State Athletics Conference, suffering two losses this week against West Chester University, 2-1, and East Stroudsburg University, 3-0. Three consecutive losses can make for a brutal blow to any team, but the Crimson Hawks are priding themselves in staying confident. “We just have to keep working together and not let our losses affect us,” Riley Bartoo (freshman, nutrition) said. Although IUP saw more production from one of its top players against West Chester on Wednesday, the team came out with a 2-1 loss. During the second half of the competition, Brittney Kuhns (senior, exercise science) scored off a breakaway pass
from Taylor Vladic (senior, criminology). Kuhns holds the team lead of seven goals thus far this season. The goal capitalized the Crimson Hawks’ offensive and defensive dominance, as they also outshot the Golden Rams 7-4. Trying to come back for the win, IUP missed several opportunities to put goals on the scoreboard. “It’s a little disheartening to lose three [games] in a row, especially when the score isn’t reflecting the way we are playing,” Jessica Printz (sophomore, athletic training) said. “We’ve outplayed the last few teams, but it’s something we can learn from and build on and come back a better team.” IUP’s record dropped further as they competed against East Stroudsburg Saturday. The first half was uneventful on the scoreboard, though the Hawks attempt-
ed seven shots on goal. The Warriors took eight. “It was frustrating because we were able to take many shots, but they were just not finding the back of the net,” Bartoo said. As the second half rolled around, East Stroudsburg took hold of the game, scoring three goals. IUP recorded three shots during the latter half. “I feel like we could have taken more shots on net and gotten the ball off of our feet a little quicker,” Victoria Crawford (freshman, business) said. “We could have looked for the easy pass to the player who was open.” Looking ahead, the women are optimistic and plan on utilizing practice time to improve. “At practice, we will probably continue to work on ball movement from defense up to forwards,” Printz said, “as well as set pieces and marking.”
Riley Bartoo (freshman, nutrition) prepares to kick for IUP.
“I think that we need to communicate better on and off the field,” Crawford said, “and we need to start taking advantage of all the opportunities that
(Cal Cary/ The Penn)
we get.” The Hawks will be back in action Wednesday against Davis & Elkins College at 4 p.m. at South Campus Field.
