Geoscience students to participate in oceanic research expedition By KATLYNN RESIDES Photo/New Media Editor K.M.Resides@iup.edu
For most students, a cruise often brings thoughts of palm trees and lounging about in comfortable chairs on the ship’s deck while watching the boat glide along the ocean waters. For three IUP students, however, the word ‘cruise’ is about to mean something completely different. Students Michael Barber (junior, geoscience: energy track), Sierra Davis (senior, geoscience: geology track) and Jules Dill (senior, geoscience: environmental track) will have the unique opportunity to embark on an oceanographic research cruise aboard the R/V Knorr lasting five weeks. The expedition departs from Woods Hole, Mass., and will head southeast to several coring sites, ending about 600 miles east of the Lesser Antilles, a long arc of small islands in the Caribbean Sea. Dr. Steve Hovan, of the geoscience department, will be accompanying the students on what will be his 20th research field study in oceanography, his first in the Atlantic Ocean in almost 30 years, according to Hovan and his third time taking IUP students on research expeditions. “The first time I went out, I couldn’t turn away,” Hovan reminisced. “It was a ‘Now I know!’ moment.” The expedition is seeking to gain an understanding of how deep ocean water flows from the Arctic to the Atlantic and what those implications will mean

for the global climate. “This expedition will give us a handle on an aspect of climate change that is not yet understood,” Hovan said. “The more we know about global climate change, the better we can deal with future climate change.” The students will join Boston University, the University of Rhode Island and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute researchers in surveying the seafloor region and identifying and collecting sediment cores from water depths up to 6,000 meters deep. Barber, Davis and Dill aren’t just along for the ride: They will be active members of the crew, with Barber and Dill assisting in the analysis of the sediment cores in the core lab and Davis assisting in the geophysical surveying of the ocean floor prior to drilling. If all goes well, this expedition could potentially bring to the surface ocean water and sediment that have remained unchanged since the Last Glacial Maximum – a period of earth’s history in which ice sheets were at their most recent maximum extension. Meaning, researchers could be looking at ocean water with a chemical signature that has remained unchanged for over 20,000 years, according to Hovan and his students. After Davis aids in surveying the ocean floor and determining it suitable for coring, long cables off of the ship will lower the coring equipment and bring up 40 meters of ocean floor sediment to be tested in the core lab by Barber and Dill. If the crew finds that the sediment and water are indeed un-
changed, a second core will be retrieved. At that point, the crew has minutes to remove the water from the sediment before the air contaminates the samples, leaving the water useless to researchers. “It’s a big deal,” Barber said. “I’m excited to see how that part of the research goes.” If correct, the implications of this discovery could be of extreme benefit to the scientific community, giving Barber, Davis and Dill the opportunity to take part in real, hard science as members of the global scientific community. The R/V Knorr will be setting sail for the last time with Hovan and his students and will be decommissioned after having a long, decorated history of discovery, including the discovery of the sunken wreckage of the R.M.S. Titanic in 1985. The research will be separated in 12hour shifts, with students working from either midnight to noon or noon to midnight in 80-degree, tropical weather. All three were hand-selected by Hovan in part for their previous knowledge of oceanography, as well as being some of the “best students his department has to offer,” according to Hovan. Hovan and his students will be departing on a flight Wednesday to Boston, where they will stay until their departure Saturday, Oct. 24. They will be returning Thursday, Dec. 4. “Thank you, Dr. Hovan,” Davis started. “For giving us this outstanding, unique opportunity. We are so thankful to have worked closely with you and are thankful for this life-changing opportunity to conduct real science.”

Homecoming 2014 deemed calm in comparison to years past By CASEY KELLY Staff Writer C.E.Kelly@iup.edu
University, borough and Pennsylvania State police all reported a surprisingly mellow homecoming celebration last weekend at Indiana University of Pennsylvania. Michelle Fryling, university spokeswoman, confirmed this statement via e-mail. “The overall assessment of the weekend is no major criminal incidents, no major investigations and no major injuries,” Fryling said. “There were no large parties that got out of control or reports that groups blocked the streets.” IUP campus police reported a total of seven alcohol-related citations or arrests on Thursday evening, 14 on Friday and 14 on Saturday, according to Fryling. Indiana borough police said they do not yet have exact statistics for arrests compiled. However, according to CBS Pittsburgh, there were a total of 96 calls for service and 25 arrests. While the police were still busy, Fryling said the calls received were very manageable. She also noted that Indiana landlords did an exceptional job working and interacting with tenants to discourage large parties or illegal behavior.
The “worst” incident this weekend, according to Fryling, occurred Saturday night when a student from Clarion University jumped on the back of an Indiana Fire Association fire truck on South Seventh Street. The situation was quickly resolved, and the student will be facing charges from Indiana borough police. Carly Smith (sophomore, sociology) also agreed that this year’s homecoming was calm in comparison to previous celebratory weekends. “I would say that the police presence was a lot heavier this year,” Smith said, “which caused everyone to kind of keep their parties inside and keep them smaller.” However, Smith also said that despite a quiet homecoming, she is expecting this year’s IUPatty’s celebration to be just as wild, or possibly even bigger than last year’s. “I definitely think that once IUPatty’s rolls around again this year, people are going to go crazy,” she said. “I think it’s going to be even bigger than last year.” For students who did not want to partake in the “party scene” during homecoming, IUP sponsored Monte Carlo night, an alternative homecoming option. The event drew in more than 600 students, parents and alumni.

University students strive to help homeless from neighboring counties By SAMANTHA FRENCH Staff Writer S.M.French@iup.edu
The Child and Family Studies Association at Indiana University of Pennsylvania will be holding a clothing drive Monday to Oct. 31 to benefit surrounding homeless families. The student association is pairing up with the ARIN Intermediate Unit, which strives to help homeless families from 11 different counties. These counties include Armstrong, Blair, Cambria, Cameron, Centre, Clearfield, Clinton, Elk, Indiana, Jefferson and Potter. These counties alone have 1,300 homeless people. Dr. Dan Puhlman, one of the advisers for the association, explained the list of items that are in demand. “Clothing of all sizes and genders that are gently used or new, all new hygiene products and even school supplies,” Puhlman said. The collection boxes will be located in Ackerman, Weyandt, Keith, Sutton, Stright, Davis, Stapleton Library and the Hadley Union Building, with other possible locations to be announced.

ciation, Brady Belkowski (senior, child development and family relations), explained why this drive and bringing awareness to the homeless is important to her. “When people see the homeless, they think that they are in that situation on purpose,” Belkowski said. “But really, they could have lost their job or cannot help the negative situation that they are in. Also, people are not aware that there could be any age range or families out there going through this.” Haley Kline (senior, child development and family relations) is also a social chair for the association and brought awareness to the fact that the children from the families indeed go to school. “The less fortunate children get picked on without the bully realizing their situation at the time,” Kline said, “and people in general don’t realize that these kids are actually going to school. Instead, they get looked over.” This association encourages students to get involved in donating to the drive and bringing awareness to the homeless families and people around us.

Indian Student Association will host 9th annual India Day By JENNIFER BUSH Lead News Writer J.L.Bush@iup.edu
The Hadley Union Building’s Ohio Room will be transformed into a “Bollywood to Hollywood” theme for India Day Oct. 25. The Indian Student Association is preparing for its 9th annual India Day, when the aroma of Indian food and the sound of authentic Indian music will fill the room. Snigdha Kapoor (junior, accounting and finance) is the president of the Indian Student Association. Kapoor said that there will be dancing, singing, music and delicious food catered by the India Grill on Philadelphia Street. Kapoor said that they are celebrating Diwali, which is also called the “festival of lights.” The religious celebration signifies light over dark and good over evil, and it is celebrated during autumn every year. They celebrate through home decorating, gifts, food and prayer.
Chaxel Patel (sophomore, management information systems) is the treasurer of the Indian Student Association and is originally from Ahmedabad, India, which is 7,700 miles from Indiana. He will be returning home in December to visit friends and family, who Patel says he “misses very much.” There is an exchange program through IUP in which MBA students come from Bangalore, India, and study at IUP through the People Education Society. “Education is very limited in India,” Kapoor said, “with few options for education like business and medicine.” The students can then choose to study at IUP for their second year. Kapoor said that there are about 70 students in the program now. Anyone is welcome to attend the event from 5 to 9 p.m. The cost is $10 for students, $5 for children 12 and under and $15 for all others. Anyone interested in purchasing a ticket can contact Snigdha Kapoor at s.kapoor@iup.edu.

SGA discusses Homecoming, Community University District Plan By JENNIFER BUSH Lead News Writer J.L.Bush@iup.edu
Homecoming was one of the main topics at Tuesday’s Student Government Association meeting. Officers of SGA agreed that this year’s homecoming was a successful one. Vice President Elijah Rosenthal (senior,
political science and English) said that the police presence was a positive one. Rosenthal also said that the mounted police gave students a more casual interaction with the police. Nancy Jones, Indiana County Borough Council president, rode along with police Friday and Saturday night, and she reported in The Indiana Gazette that this homecoming was calmer than
previous homecoming weekends. Rosenthal said that Jones helps to bridge the communication between the students and community because she is very involved in community events like the Hawk Walk and the homecoming festivities. With the homecoming festivities in the books, the SGA welcomed Jeff Raykes, who is the chief planner at the Indiana County Office of Planning & Development. The white boards that Raykes and his team carry around Indiana are part of the project called The Community University District Plan. The plan is about taking a look at Indiana and seeing what could be enhanced. Raykes and his crew go around and ask random people to write on the white board what they would like to see for the future of Indiana. “This project represents a process through which the community – including students – has a voice in shaping the design and quality of their com-
munity,” Raykes said. Raykes said that the students at IUP make up 70 percent of the total population of Indiana and are a demographic that needs to be engaged in the project. “We are very interested in your voice,” Raykes said. As Raykes wrapped up his presentation, he took a picture of the SGA group with the white board of ideas they came up with, and the picture was posted on social media. The SGA will be doing a highway cleanup on Oct. 25 at 10 a.m. On Oct. 29, IUP will host the Dave Reed and Kevin Freeburg political debate in the Eberly College of Business and Technology Building room 101 at 5 p.m. Looking forward, SGA is looking into purchasing new polo shirts and name tags for the group at an estimated cost of $600. An additional $22,000 will also be spent on the Crimson Connect software program that was purchased last year.

No threat more threatening than climate change By PHILADELPHIA DAILY NEWS
MCT
The following editorial appeared in the Philadelphia Daily News on Friday, Oct. 3: In a speech to the United Nations recently, President Barack Obama said that climate change is a more serious threat than terrorism. So, why aren’t more Americans terrified? A parade of panicked politicians talk about the Islamic militant group the Islamic State as if it were a combination of Hitler’s Germany and Stalin’s Soviet Union, faulting the president for not taking drastic action sooner. But climate change? What’s the hurry? A majority of Americans (67 percent, in an August Pew/USA Today poll) believe the Islamic State is, like al-Qaida, a “major threat” to our national security. Yet, fewer than half (48 percent), almost none of them Republicans, see climate change the same way. An evaluation of the actual danger posed by the Islamic State is a subject for a later time, but at least right now, the group – while it is vicious and barbaric and wants to hurt us – has limited capability to make that happen on
Opinion
American soil. Yet, climate change already has invaded the homeland, reducing to ruins the homes of thousands of Americans, turning them into refugees of a sort. In his U.N. speech, Obama listed just a few of the terrors we already have experienced: “Along our eastern coast, the city of Miami now floods at high tide. In our west, wildfire season now stretches most of the year. In our heartland, farms have been parched by the worst drought in generations, and drenched by the wettest spring in our history. A hurricane left parts of this great city (New York) dark and underwater.” Earth’s rising temperature represents a greater menace than any terrorist “sleeper cell.” Extreme weather events are not the only danger: As food and water shortages increase and already vulnerable people suffer dislocation and loss, the stability of governments and even civil societies are jeopardized. In an ironic twist, climate change could itself have been a factor in the rise of the Islamic State. To be sure, the repressive regime of Bashar Assad, in Syria, is the major reason for the civil war that has fed the group’s rise. However, some experts point also to the social upheaval tied to a widespread
drought caused by climate change, the worst since the beginning of agricultural civilization, according to an expert quoted by the Center for Climate and Security, a think-tank advised by retired senior military and security officials. The drought destroyed the livelihood of millions of farmers and herders who migrated to the cities, and whose desperation is a contributing factor to rising militancy. Still, while most Americans worry more about terrorism than the environment, activists sense a change. You wouldn’t know it from watching mainstream media, but the message about the need for action is getting through to more ordinary Americans than in the past: The estimated 300,000 to 400,000 people who participated in the largest “climate justice” march in history on Sept. 21 aren’t putting away their signs and going home for good. The numbers of people engaging in civil disobedience is expanding. A movement to persuade institutions to divest from fossil fuels is still tiny, but growing. We should do what we can to support them: In the not-so-long term, it won’t matter what harm the Islamic State can or can’t do if a rising planet temperature has the effect most scientists predict: global chaos.

Pa. education funding hits where it hurts At Feltonville School of Arts and Sciences, a Philadelphia middle school serving 541 children – 80 percent of whom come from low-income families – things like textbooks, recess equipment and even school nurses have become a luxury they simply can’t afford. Due to an 8 percent drop in education funding since 2011 and a rise in pension cost, Feltsonville has a deficit of nearly $81 million, according to an Oct. 14 New York Times article. The changes in education funding under Gov. Tom Corbett have resulted in drastic cuts for several Pennsylvania school districts, according to an Aug. 30 AxisPhilly article, many of which that were hurting for funds to begin with. A change in the school funding formula, according to the article, resulted in the low-income schools losing money, while additional money was awarded to 21 school districts “located in the districts of legislators who were either on legislative appropriation or education committees.” “Feltonville alone has lost 15 teachers, two assistant principals, two guidance counselors, an office secretary, three campus police officers, 10 aides who supervised the cafeteria and hallways and an operations officer, who oversaw most of the school’s day-to-day logistics,” according to the New York Times. “I am not a volunteer, and I am not a saint,” said Amy Roat – a 20-year veteran who works with children learning English as a second language at Feltonville – in the Oct. 14 article. “I am a teacher.” Within the last two years, Philadelphia has lost 5,000 staff positions and closed 31 schools. Without proper funding, it is impossible for schools and administrators, not only in Pennsylvania, to educate effectively. Government officials need to make an effort to preserve the conditions in which we send our children to school. A child’s learning environment can be just as effective as the material they are taught in the classroom, and if we continue to deprive children of a stable and comfortable learning environment, we are taking away their motivation to learn at all. In order to keep children interested in school and education, you need to provide them with proper tools and a safe and constructive environment. For some, school is the only constant thing they have. Taking that away isn’t doing anyone any good. Taking away education funding drives away good students who want to learn and good teachers who want to teach them.

Willie Cole presented a lecture on his art and inspiration to IUP students By JESSIE LIST Staff Writer J.L.List@iup.edu
Internationally renowned artist Willie Cole delivered a lecture on his unique artistic ability in the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Univeristy museum in Sutton Hall Thursday. Cole is best known for his talent in transforming everyday objects into works of art. His biggest project includes the use of irons. Cole said his inspiration behind this project grew from the idea of domesticity, as irons were often used by domestic housewives and slaves throughout history. He has used the irons as a branding method, creating patterns and figures by scorching surfaces with the face of the iron. This technique is supposed to mimic the branding rituals commonly performed by African tribes. Cole has also crafted several sculptures out of shoes. One work, named “Sole Sitter,” depicts a 6-foot-tall figure seemingly made out of several giant pairs of high heels. Other sculptures are made out of actual shoes, for which Cole scoured thrift shops. He admitted that to keep all of his materials organized, he color coordinated the hundreds of shoes
he has and “divides the shoes like fruit at a fruit stand.” Cole also demonstrated a sort of resourcefulness by creating sculptures out of plastic bottles. He has crafted chandeliers measuring 12 feet by 12 feet comprised of nearly 3,000 bottles and has fashioned an entire car, as well as a hallway, made up of over 10,000 bottles. His recycled material comes from employees at his local YMCA. Though Cole’s take on art is abnormal, he used normal, everyday influences to spark his creativity. He said he got his inspiration to transform common objects into art from his son’s toys, namely Transformers. He said he enjoys “taking things apart and re-assimilating them so that you never see them again.” Cole also found inspiration for his unique sculptures from cartoons like “Catdog” and the Tasmanian Devil. With such a distinctive artistic style, there is no doubt that Cole is instilling creative inspiration within aspiring artists. “I love the way he takes something that is considered an everyday object and turns it into something you would never expect it to be,” Tori Dellafiora (sophomore, music education) said. “It really inspires me to look at things in a
different way.” Students showed admiration for Cole’s art and how he finds inspiration in random objects throughout the world. “I love how he goes to thrift shops and picks up shoes to make art,” Kristin Reda (junior, art education) said. “I think what fascinates me most is that he is able to make something that is familiar into something beautiful.” Cole’s lecture on his love of expressing himself and how art has affected his life left students with a new appreciation for artistic skill. “Art is a part of life,” Stephanie Beletti (senior, studio art) said. “It makes life more interesting. People can relate to it in so many different ways.” “Art tells a story,” Reda said. “It’s thought-provoking, and that is really important.” For students who aspire to make their own art, Cole had simple advice. “Go to the studio, put yourself in a creative environment, and something will happen.” As for Cole’s future plans, he says he will continue to pursue the field of art. “There is so much more to discover,” he said.

‘American Horror Story’ season four premiere: more FX deliciousness to come By PATRICK KALIE Staff Writer P.D.Kalie@iup.edu
SPOILER ALERT The premier of “American Horror Story”’s fourth season, titled “Freak Show,” premiered Oct. 8 with the episode “Monsters Among Us.” “AHS” is an anthology series, meaning each season has a completely different story, and was created by Ryan Murphy and Brad Falchuk. The show first premiered on FX in 2011 and has been captivating its audience for the past three seasons. “Freak Show” is a story about discrimination, specifically the mistreatment of those outcasted by society. This episode set a ratings record for FX by bringing in over 10 million viewers. First, let me start off with saying this episode would’ve been much more suspenseful if it weren’t for the promos. The first 10 minutes of the show were a buildup to the shocking reveal that we already saw in the commercials. So, if you are one of the lucky few who haven’t seen a commercial, you are in for a treat. If I had to summarize my feelings after watching this episode, it would go like this: “Holy crap, I didn’t know that I was afraid of clowns!” The episode had me stuck to my seat the entire show. From the opening sequence to the end credits, this episode was a dish of interesting with a side of disgusting, and that’s exactly what you look for when you watch something called “Freak Show.” Nothing about that clown sat right
with me. It doesn’t talk, so everything it did seemed random, and that was probably the most horrifying part of the show. “American Horror Story” makes me realize exactly how jaded we have become to the absurd. Girl with two heads? Is that all? Lady with a beard? That’s so 1950s. Kid who bites the head off of a live chicken, then laughs afterward? OK, you got me. There are a plethora of interesting characters, and I am begging for the show to explore their backstories. Each main character is played by a talented actor, so I have a feeling that if I am disappointed, it won’t come from the acting. With each character having such an obvious deformity, the audience will desire an interesting cause of each. That is going to be hard to pull off. However, if it is done, the show will be extremely satisfying. One of these characters is Jessica Lange, who returned to “AHS” this season playing Elsa Mars, the owner of the freak show. Her life goal is to be famous, and this freak show is her one-way ticket to fame. I’ve always felt conflicted with Jessica Lange’s characters in “AHS.” She is obviously the antagonist, but one can’t help but be on her side. Her character in “Freak Show” is no different. The way she manipulates people is 100-percent pure, concentrated evil. However, she gets stuff done: And you have to respect a someone who gets stuff done. With multiple captivating characters, “Monsters Among Us” was a promising beginning to an already successful program.

“I am extremely afraid of heights because I hate feeling like I’m going to fall. I get scared even if there is a high height in a video game or a movie. It just makes me uncomfortable.” - Maria Newton (freshman, international business and Spanish)
“My biggest fear is power plants – I am so serious. They always look so chaotic and evil. The Homer City power plant is right in front of my house, and I always have to look at it. It’s horrifying, and I hate the smoke it gives off.” - Nick Ursiak (senior, graphic design)

Flying Lotus examines death in his recent album, ‘You’re Dead!’ By ANDREW MILLIKEN Lead Wet Ink Writer A.P.Milliken@iup.edu
With his latest album, “You’re Dead!,” electronic composer and producer Flying Lotus – born Steven Ellison – uses his distinct jazz-influenced sound to examine differing points of view on the great human equalizer, death. Most concept albums revolving around death are grim and depressing affairs. “The Black Parade,” My Chemical Romance’s popular 2006 effort, is a textbook death-centered record. From the gray-and-black color palette to tracks about cancer, wars and hospital beds, “The Black Parade” is as straightfaced as you’d expect when it comes to music about dying. Ellison seeks to explore the idea that death can be not only tragic, but sarcastic, humorous and even beautiful on “You’re Dead!” by not only broadening his own compositional style, but by collaborating with a host of artists. “You’re Dead!” features not only Ellison’s familiar cohorts like bassist Thundercat and rapper Captain Murphy but also employs the likes of Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar and legendary jazz pianist Herbie Hancock to diversify the album’s sound. These collaborations also add different, individual perspectives to the album’s specific, yet endlessly interpretable, concept material. While the album’s 19 tracks may seem intimidating for those unfamiliar with Flying Lotus’ particular brand of jazz fusion/EDM, the album finishes in a trim 38 minutes and listens more like a suite than a collection of individual tracks. The first four tracks on “You’re Dead!” are all instrumental, reveling in Ellison’s lush production and the improvisatory influence of Hancock. These tracks build in intensity and culminate in the superb “Never Catch Me,” an anthemic, tour-de-force featuring Kendrick Lamar. Lamar’s contribution – a dense, ambitious verse exploring his mixed emotions about the thought of his own death and what death means to the human race – is easily the lyrical high point of the album. Lamar’s snappy, frenzied delivery and rhythmic complexity are complimented by Ellison’s jazzy, glitchy,

harmonically rich backgrounds. Lamar’s honest musings are immediately given a mirror image by the next track, “Dead Man’s Tetris.” Where “Never Catch Me” was quick, lively and inspirational, “Dead Man’s Tetris” is down tempo, ominous and sarcastic, employing Captain Murphy and Snoop Dogg to explore death in the idiom of drugs and guns. Not satisfied to use the classic game Tetris merely as a lyrical metaphor, Ellison adds a literal touch by sampling the game’s famous theme song under Snoop Dogg’s rhymes. If “Never Catch Me” has the most complex and ambitious lyrics, then the album’s midpoint is the most stylistically jarring in the album’s context. “Stirring,” the album’s eighth track, pulls the rug out from under the listener with its ambient washes of electronic fuzz before “Coronus, the Terminator” builds to its angelic, gospel-influenced chorus. “The days of men are coming to an end/ So come with me, if you want to live,” Ellison and collaborator Niki Randa croon, evoking apocalypse with this and other epic lines. After “Coronus, the Terminator” fades away into oblivion, the album once again changes direction. The second half of “You’re Dead!” follows a much darker path than the preceding, often beautiful and glorious tracks. From the opening beeps on “Ready err Not,” Ellison reveals a much more sinister side to his concept. Lush jazz harmonies or improvised bass solos
at high speed are replaced by stickier, creeping synths. The climax of this foreboding section of the album is the insane “Descent Into Madness,” featuring not only Thundercat’s bass but his voice, frighteningly overdubbed and produced into a multiphonic wail. The album’s last tracks function as a coda, returning to the thicker, more ambient style and leaving an open-ended view on death and the afterlife. While the eclectic views on the album’s concept help to keep the sound changing and more interesting than an album with an unchanging aesthetic, Ellison also doesn’t allow the album’s message to become one-sided. The cover art on “You’re Dead!” and the last two tracks suggest that introspection and self-reflection are the keys to understanding one’s own emotions on life and death. From the album’s opening wash of fuzzy sound through its peak of heavenly glory and valley of hellish insanity to its closing ambience, the album retains Ellison’s niche sound found on his previous albums – like “Cosmogramma” and “Until The Quiet Comes” – while pushing the boundaries of his own capabilities as a composer. Creating a focused, cohesive, almost continuous 38-minute composition is a daunting task for any composer, and Flying Lotus has pulled it off with remarkable facility. “You’re Dead!” is available for purchase on iTunes and instant listening on Spotify.

IUP drops PSAC showdown at Mercyhurst By JAKE ENDERS Staff Writer J.G.Enders@iup.edu
The Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s field hockey team failed to overcome a three-goal deficit in the first half Tuesday night, falling to Mercyhurst University 3-1 in Erie in a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference showdown. Midfielder Haley Fidler (sophomore, exercise science) scored in her second consecutive game, but the lone FIELD HOCKEY tally wasn’t enough for the Crimson Hawks, who fell to 5-6 (4-5 PSAC) on the season. Mercyhurst opened the scoring in the fourth minute of play on a goal by Marissa Faso. The Lakers dominated the action in the first half, outshooting the Hawks by a 10-3 margin and also opening up an
8-4 advantage in penalty corners. Mercyhurst added to its lead with a pair of goals only 2:01 apart near the end of the frame. IUP’s Fidler found the net in the 68th minute, but by then, the game was out of reach. Forward Chelsea Wanamaker (senior, psychology) recorded five of IUP’s eight shots and now ranks second on the team in that category. Goalkeeper Darian Shuker (senior, business) started her 30th consecutive game in the net for the Crimson Hawks and made four saves. Overall, it has been an up-and-down season for the Crimson Hawks. With Tuesday’s defeat, they now sit a half-game behind Slippery Rock University for the sixth and final spot in the PSAC Tournament. A strong performance in their upcoming 3-game home stand will go a long way in securing a fourth consecutive postseason appearance.

Crimson Hawks finish fourth at Bud Elwell Fall Classic Kirsch earns individual title in first tournament appearance for IUP men’s golf By MICHAEL KIWAK Lead Sports Writer M.T.Kiwak@iup.edu
Max Kirsch (sophomore, business) won the first tournament of his collegiate career as Indiana University of GOLF Pennsylvania’s men’s golf team finished fourth out of seven teams at the Bud Elwell Fall Classic, hosted by Gannon University. Kirsch, of Ebensburg, shot a 3-over 147, two strokes ahead of his nearest competitor. He scored a 75 in the first round and a 72 in the second, which was the lowest total of the round. Kirsch expressed satisfaction – and a bit of relief – with his performance. “It was a great feeling winning my first event,” he said. “It was a huge
12
weight lifted off my shoulders. I feel like this just leads to bigger and better things.” Kirsch’s win earned him the honor of Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Golfer of the Week, making it the third time a Crimson Hawk has won it. He joins Kenny Sames (junior, business) and Jack Owen (junior, sports administration), the latter of whom won it twice. Despite Kirsch’s individual victory, the Crimson Hawks had a generally disappointing tournament. Owen was the next finisher for IUP, as he finished in a tie for 12th with a nine-over 154. IUP’s third to finish was Brett Geiser (junior, management), who tied for 15th with a 10-over 155. Owen and Geiser voiced discontent in the team’s performance. “[It] was a disappointing weekend for us as a team,” Owen said. “Coming
in fourth place in that field is a real disappointment.” Geiser echoed this statement, saying the team did not perform like they intended. Aside from those three, the other Crimson Hawks who competed were a pair of freshmen, Josh Bartley (business management) and Michael Hoare (marketing). They finished in ties for 18th and 21st, respectively. In total, 46 players competed in the tournament. As a whole, IUP finished with a 613. The team scored an underwhelming 310 in the first round but picked it up in the second, scoring a 303, which was the second best score of the day behind Mercyhurst University’s 301. The team’s total score was eight strokes back from first-place Mercyhurst. West Chester University finished in second with a 607, and Allegheny Col-
October 17, 2014
lege came in third with a 612. The tournament could best be considered a warm-up, as the Crimson Hawks now look toward the big one this weekend: the PSAC Championships. There, the team will look to claim its place on top once again. It came up short for the conference title last year, breaking a streak of six consecutive championships. If there is anyone on the team more motivated to help the team reclaim its throne, it’s Owen, who will be competing in his last PSAC Championships. “It’s really important for me and the team to perform,” Owen said. “I’d love to win the PSAC in my last year and hopefully get another individual win. “PSAC is kind of our major championship, along with regionals and nationals, so to be the winner there would really cap a great semester for me.” The road to victory will not be easy,
as it will be paved with tough teams such as West Chester, Mercyhurst and last year’s champion, Millersville University. But, according to Owen, the most difficult challenger will come in the form of California University of Pennsylvania. “They pushed us hard at Glade Springs and won last week at Mystic Rock,” Owen said. “I think they will be the bigger threat.” As Owen mentioned, Cal has won one tournament, finished second once, and they have also finished third twice. The Vulcans also boast one of the best golfers in the PSAC in Jordan Eck, who, like Owen, will be competing in his last PSAC Championships. The tournament will take place at the Hershey Country Club on Saturday and Sunday.

IUP soccer tops Davis & Elkins IUP set for Slippery
Rock after 3-1 weekend
By CASSIE PUTT Staff Writer C.L.Putt@iup.edu
In a non-conference matchup Oct. 15, Indiana University of Pennsylvania overthrew Davis & Elkins College 4-1 with Alyanna James (senior, biology: pre-med) recording a goal and two assists. Within the 19th minute, James scored her first goal of the season and of the game. “It felt great to get my first goal,” James said, “beSOCCER cause it gave the team that push and confidence to excel above our competitors for the remainder of the game.” As the ball rolled down the middle of the field after an opponent attempted to clear it from the goal, James called off her teammates and “took a shot directly towards the net.” Minutes later, Brittney Kuhns (senior, exercise science) scored her eighth goal of the season, giving the Hawks a 2-0 lead by the end of the first half. Two minutes into the latter part of the game, Lindsey Jarolmen (freshman,

management) also tallied her first career goal with an assist from James. “It didn’t really hit me that I scored until after the game,” Jarolmen said. “I thought of it as my hard work and progress finally paying off.” “The goal is only the beginning,” Jarolmen said, “and I hope to work even harder than before to have more.” As the competition came to an end,
Brandie Bryant (freshman, athletic training) drilled a shot from 25 yards for her first career goal, leaving the Hawks with a 4-1 win.

After a 3-1 weekend, the Crimson Hawks may have found themselves back on the right track. Indiana University of Pennsylvania women’s volleyball traveled VOLLEYBALL to Millersville on Friday to take on Lock Haven and Millersville universities for the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference East/West Crossover. The Crimson Hawks lost 3-0 to Lock Haven with the scores of 25-14, 25-12 and 25-22. Lisa Kissell (junior, nutrition and chemistry) had seven kills, Lindsay Moeller (sophomore, early childhood and special education) had 17 assists, and Joie Hrapla (junior, marketing and fashion merchandising) had 13 digs. “We gave our opponent too many points by committing errors on our
side of the net,” Kaitlyn Palmer (sophomore, biology and pre-med) said. “We have complete control over the errors we make as a team.” Hester had six kills by the end of the match against Lock Haven, but that wasn’t what made her noticed for the day. She had 18 kills, three aces and two blocks against Millersville to help IUP win 3-2. The first set was won by the Millersville,19-25, but IUP came back to win the next two sets, 25-12 and 29-27. Millersville came back and won the fourth match, 25-23, but IUP was able to win the last set 15-10 to win it all. Kissell had 11 kills, Katie Miller (freshman, anthropology) had 48 assists, and Hrapla had 15 digs. The Crimson Hawks’ next stop was at Shippensburg on Saturday.

By DEMETRI GEORGE Staff Writer D.George@iup.edu
If you have been paying attention to the season thus far, you know that each week, two Steelers players or coaches on the rise as well as two player or coaches on the decline are chosen. However, I am going to do something a little different this week, and based on the way the Steelers have played in recent weeks, it should be of no surprise to anyone. For this edition, the entire Pittsburgh Steelers organization is on the decline. Yeah, I said it. Right now, this team stinks. It’s time for another edition of Steelers Stock. The Steelers are coming off a 31-10 drubbing by the Cleveland Browns. In the Ben Roethlisberger era, the Steelers have dominated this series when
he has started. Coming into this game against the Browns, Ben was 18-1 against Cleveland. That was the highest winning percentage of any quarterback against one team. Roethlisberger was simply not on his game in this matchup. The way this team is constructed, the Steelers essentially have no shot if Roethlisberger doesn’t perform to par. Antonio Brown being the exception, Roethlisberger seemed to have no chemistry with any of the other receivers. To put it frankly, he needs to play better if this team has any shot of turning things around. I can go on and on and peruse the entire depth chart and talk about how each and every person needs to improve. Although some fans would beg to differ, the Steelers’ struggles have not been the result of just one or two players

failing to execute. Pittsburgh needs to function better as a whole. I am talking everyone. The cafeteria staff, secretaries, equipment guys – everyone needs to step up. The Pittsburgh Steelers have a threegame home stand coming up, and their performance over the course of that stretch could be a good indication of whether or not fans have hope for a turnaround. The softer part of their schedule is over with. Now the Steelers have three-straight games against opponents that are either .500 or better. The Steelers are 19-19 over the last 38 games, and that is well below the standard that this organization holds. If this team doesn’t turn things around, major changes could be looming for both the organization as a whole and the key pieces within it.
