‘I wanted to cry when I saw it’ Kefferstan eager Students inspired by monuments, Holocaust Museum on D.C. trip

By Erin Powell Staff Writer This past Monday, all of the Fiat Lux classes boarded buses and made the four and a half hour trip to Washington D.C. to visit the historical city and the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum.

Many students took the free time in between visiting the museum to visit the variety of monuments in the city.

Katlin Denny, sophomore psychology major and Fiat Lux mentor, said that she is a fan of the trip.

Denny said she feels that the entire experience can be life-changing for students.

“Washington D.C. is my favorite city in America because it is so beautiful and gorgeously decorated with bulkings and statues that represent our nation,” Denny said.”

“Washington D.C. is shockingly filled with an immense amount of greenery and that adds to the charm factor that is already held by the monuments.”

Although sightseeing was a large part of the Fiat Lux trip, the Holocaust museum was the stop that meant the most to the students, Denny said.

The museum itself was built as America’s memorial to the millions of people that were affected during the Holocaust. It also serves as our national institution for the documentation, study and interpretation of Holocaust history.

The museum itself began construction in 1989 and was finally fin-

Inside the building there are permanent and temporary exhibition spaces such as Remember the Children: Daniel’s Story.

The exhibit allows visitors to view the Holocaust from the perspective of a child in Nazi Germany.

There is also an extensive research library and

archives, two theaters, a memorial space, the Hall of Remembrance and an education center.

The Permanent Exhibition, The Holocaust, uses all three of the floors of the building.

Through historical documents, artifacts, photographs, film footage, historical and personal photographs, oral and video histories plus more, visi-

Senate funds new sound system for Fitness Center

By Alfonso Ferrari Staff Writer

This summer Student Senate provided funds for Waynesburg University to install a $7,000 sound system in the Fitness Center.

Jeffrey Johns, academic vice president of Student Senate said the request for a sound system was made by the student body at last years Student Senate See STUDENTS on A2 meetings, because the fit-

ness center had no previous sound system. Johns said the Student Senate worked quickly to make it happen. Prior to the installation of the new system the fitness center was only equipped with televisions for students to watch while working out.

“This is a 100 percent upgrade... so it’s all brandnew,” Johns said.

‘Expressive and personal:’ Professor’s artwork on display

By Katherine Mansfield Editorial Assistant The first thing a person notices when they step into the Benedum Fine Arts Gallery on the lower level of Waynesburg University’s Benedum Dining Hall is the body on the floor.

The body, a ceramic collage titled “Conglomerate,” is the work of Andrew Heisey, a Harrisburg-based artist whose work will be featured in the gallery through Oct. 19.

Heisey, whose sculptures have been exhibited

at the State Museum of Pennsylvania and other Philadelphia-area museums, joined the Waynesburg community this summer, when he was hired to fill the shoes of art professor Susan Phillips.

Phillips was among the many university students and professors who attended the gallery opening reception Tuesday evening.

“I was very curious to see Andrew’s work,” said Phillips. “[It’s an] interesting use of clay – very expressive and personal.”

Heisey’s work is per-

sonal, indeed. The artist admits that he puts much of himself into every piece; his art is a reflection of himself and his surroundings, and embodies one of his deepest beliefs.

“There’s the idea of persisting memory,” Heisey said.

“Memories are who we are. Here–” he paused to point to his work, “these aren’t memories, but they’re things from my surroundings; the parts actually came from my environment.

Nobody would know that, See ARTWORK on A4

Stratton preaches Free workshops offered to students New Testament doctrine to students

By Cassie Bates Staff Writers

By Nick Farrell Assistant Sports Editor Rev. Dr. Lawrence Stratton, director of the Center for Constitutional Studies and Moral Leadership and assistant professor of Ethics and Constitutional Law, gave a sermon on the New Testament and its meaning as a part of Waynesburg’s weekly chapel service Tuesday.

Rev. Donald Wilson, interim director of Christian Life, began the service with a call to worship, inviting the congregation into a time of prayer and reflection.

The welcoming was followed by the hymn “The Church is One Foundation.”

The hymn was then followed by Rev. Wilson’s invocation and The Lord’s Prayer.

Junior Karl Shaley read an Old Testament story from Joshua 1:6-9.

“Be strong and courageous, for you shall give this people possession of the land which I swore to their fathers to give them,” the verse said.

The Lamplighters Concert Choir trailed the Old Testament reading with a reflection piece called “Wondrous Love.”

The Lamplighters were directed by Melanie Catana, director of choral music.

Chaplin Tom Ribar took to the lectern after the Lamplighters were applauded and returned to their seats.

Ribar prepared the congregation for the New Testament lesson that was to follow.

“We are humbled by your majesty but lifted up by the grace that you bestow upon us,” Ribar said.

Ribar prayed for many intentions, specifically for students and faculty at the University who are struggling with loss or suffering from any sort of pain or misfortune. The Chaplin encouraged students to keep their friends and classmates in their hearts.

Ribar also prayed for the state of the nation, especially in this time preceding the election.

He asked the Lord to allow political figures to act as a light in the darkness.

The Chaplin concluded his time at the lectern by asking for a blessing to be bestowed upon Waynesburg University.The focus shifted from the lectern to the pulpit, where Stratton read the New Testament passage from 2 Timothy 3:14-17. The song A Mighty Fortress is Our God followed the reading to transition between the reading and his sermon.

Stratton’s sermon was his first in Roberts Chapel, which is approaching the first anniversary of its dedication.

Stratton was ordained a Presbyterian minister in Roberts Chapel last spring.

He began his sermon with an anecdote of a trip to Europe in which he visited many famous cities and landmarks known for their historical or biblical significance.

During a day trip to Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey, Stratton ate lunch with his tour guide who was in the process of becoming a Muslim Imam. The scholar of Islam severely slighted the Bible by questioning the Old Testament and dismissing the Resurrection. Stratton used this experience to remind the congregation that naysayers of Christianity exist, but that the Bible is the truth of the Savior.

“The thing you need to remember about the Bible is that it is the recorded telling of Jesus Christ,” Stratton said.

“Jesus Christ is the sum total of the scriptures.”

Stratton said that a firm understanding of the 66 books that make up the Bible is crucial to any Christian faith.

“If we dare to grapple with the Bible, the scripture will encourage us to grapple with the righteousness of Jesus Christ,” said Stratton.

The praise band followed Stratton’s sermon with “Onward Christian Soldiers.” Rev. Wilson completed the service with the benediction.

Teaching with Primary Sources is allowing students to interpret historical documents in there own way.

TPS was created by the Library of Congress to provide teachers and the general public access to its resources for use in teaching and to provide education on how to use the sources.

TPS for the Eastern Region is located at Waynesburg University.

The program is run by the TPS Eastern Region Coordinator and Director of the Center for Research and Economic Development Barbara

Kirby, Associate Director Sue Wise and Program Specialist Nancy Wrick.

Kirby helps interested parties from Maine to Florida use TPS. “The Library of Congress’ Teaching with Primary Resources provides access to digitized records,” said Barbara Kirby.

Over 13 million historical records have been made available online by the Library of Congress at loc.gov. They include: maps, documents, pictures, audio and various other format of information.

an impact on me,” said freshman Taylor Roebuck.

“I wanted to cry when I saw it, just trying to imagine how they were treated. It was definitely an eye opener overall.”

Shock, anger and sadness were definitely some of the emotions students felt while touring the museum.

They felt that they were experiencing the history on a more personal level than they ever had before the Fiat Lux trip to Washington, D.C. “I was most affected by the sight of the thousands of shoes that the Jews had, and just imagining the dif-

ferent lives that were taken from those shoes made me feel very melancholy,” said freshman DeRon Scott.

“Overall, the museum had a very somber effect on me, and I was impressed by the way it was set up chronologically, and then the memorial room with the flame right after the museum was my favorite aspect of the entire building.”

A person can only learn so much about the Holocaust from a book. The museum allows visitors to see what it was really like for the people that lived through it or died because of it, personally.

Every day while students and faculty at Waynesburg University are busy eating their lunch, children in the United States are running around in the dirt with shoes that barely fit them or, worse yet, without any shoes at all.

This fall one Waynesburg University student set out to bring a change to that scenario through the nonprofit organization TOMS shoes.

Theresa Butler, sophomore advertising major, went on a mission trip last May to Tuba City, Az. for one week. She said that was the week that changed her life.

“One day I saw a little girl that was wearing [really small] clothing and then I saw her shoes,” said Butler. “Her heels hung out about 2 or 3 inches, and she was wearing shoes that barely fit her.

Seeing that just broke my heart.”

Butler shared the same feeling with TOMS

Athletic Training majors fundraise for Puerto Rico trip

By Alfonso Ferrari Staff Writer Athletic training majors will assist in sports camps over Christmas break in Puerto Rico.

From December 1423, those majoring in

athletic training have the opportunity to travel to the Roberto Clemente Sports City, Caribe` as well as possibly visiting Olympic Sports Complex.

The service learning trip will be helping lead sports camps as well as

holding sporting event, helping the homeless of Puerto Rico and doing other various manual labor.

Headed by Michele Kabay, wife of Director of the athletic training program, Mike Kabay, the trip is mainly geared

towards Athletic Training majors. But not all participants are athletic training majors.

Sophomore communication major Shelby Tabrosky will be attending the trip not only for the service learning aspect, but also as a director.

Tabrosky will be creating a documentary of the trip.

She feels that it is important to utilize her skills to help as many people as she can.

“Hearing about the opportunity in the near future to travel and film documentaries about poor countries sparked my interest, and I thought I should start now before it is too late,” said Tabrosky.

“I want to be the voice for them, like the

students in project Kony.”

The documentary will be used in a variety of fashions including being played in chapel, as well as for students to share their experience on this trip with friends and family, Tabrosky said.

Brandon Daughtry, sophomore athletic training major said that he believes that trips outside the continental United States are more valuable than a mission trip done inside the country.

“Not many people can go out of the USA so getting that opportunity is valuable in itself,” said Daughtry.

“And seeing how people in different parts of the world can be so much more powerful than people in our own nation even when they are at their worst.”

Daughtry said that this trip will be a learning experience.

However, he cannot even anticipates the lessons that he will learn when he is actually on the trip. He hopes to bring his message back to the university.

“I’m not really sure what I expect to learn. I think I’m going to learn a lot about myself as well as the children of Puerto Rico,” said Daughtry.

“I expect this trip to teach me a lot about

myself. I expect to get even closer to my fellow Athletic Training classmates as well as the non Athletic Training students going on the trip.”

Tabrosky said that she hopes to focus more on God for the trip.

“I expect to spread the Word to the kids and help them realize that while they are competing against each other in these sports, let them know that it is about glorifying God in the end,” she said.

“I want them to have fun too. Most importantly, I expect God to use me to serve, and I can’t wait for that moment.”

The trip costs $1,200 dollars with most of that being paid for through various fundraising efforts. Working at concession stands, support letters working at collegiate and pro football events and selling items are all ways Tabrosky said the team is trying to raise money for the trip.

There have been talks of a car wash closer to the trip but no word yet said Daughtry.

To sign up those interested had to sign up and pay a $50 down payment to reserve their spot on the list.

The team will be meeting three times to prepare themselves for their departure on December 14.

The two-zone system’s cost was for purchase and also installation.

“This system has two zones that can play the radio, iPod, internet radio, and is also hooked up to the flat screen televisions,” said Jeffrey Johns.

“Students are permitted to listen to music that is acceptable for a Christian university to better their work out experience.”

Wharrey said that the new sound system does not have any relation to any other upgrades, or renovations to the gymnasium, or rec center.

However, Wharrey said that rumor has it that this is the first of many upgrades to come.

New club designs unique opportunity Students learn

By Nick Coyle Staff Writer The Communication Department at Waynesburg University is excited about the new Design Club that has been introduced this fall semester.

Kimber Blair, a student in the Communication Department, has been the core piece in putting together the club.

“One hope and goal I have for Design Club is for everyone to be challenged in how they view design,” Blair said.

Several years ago, the Communication Department offered Camps Lab,

a club similar to the new Design Club. Unfortunately, when the faculty member in charge of Camps Lab left Waynesburg University, the club was disbanded.

Professor Richard Krause, chair of the Department of Communication, is enthusiastic about what is happening in the department.

“I’m excited we’re adding a new activity within the department.”

Krause said. “We’re always looking for opportunities for students to develop their skills and display their work.”

Students who are inter-

ested in radio have the school’s radio station, WCYJ-FM. Students interested in television can join WCTV, and students interested in sports production can develop their skills on WUSN. Blair credits a lot of people in helping her with the development of the Design Club.

“I’ve had a lot of help in getting the Design Club going. I had the idea, but Cori Schipani, James Little, Professor Schiffbauer and Dr. Sherman have all been very supportive in helping it take shape,” said Blair.

“We would not have

had a Design Club without them.”

“I am pleased with students getting involved in ways I did not expect,” said Dr. Chad Sherman, a professor in the Communication Department.

Students have shown a lot of positive interest in the Design Club. the future, the Design Club hopes to get involved with clients who need design work. It will get involved with the PRSSA and ultimately create new opportunities.

The Design Club opens many doors for design students or anyone interested in graphic design.

Those creations are more than simply empty yogurt containers and CD’s plastered into clay.

“It’s like – it almost looks like a rocky beach.

It just seems like something you’d find [in nature].”

Many of Heisey’s works are extremely natural; more than a few resemble the human form. But some are simply a collage of things that make up the artist’s world and being.

“He’s creative and intelligent, and you can

definitely see that,” said Katherine Kennedy, a junior forensics major who has Heisey for ceramics.

“He tends to be very well-versed in different topics, and to see him put so much into pieces – awesome.”

Heisey is excited to showcase his work in a place where his art has so much meaning.

His work is not just expressing himself and his beliefs, but it is also a way

of connecting more deeply with students and co-workers.

“It’s great,” he said, smiling amidst a crowd of newfound community at the gallery’s opening reception.

Heisey’s work can be viewed for free between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. on weekdays.

Those interesting in viewing the art can also make an appointment with Heisey.

that there are a few ways that the students can help out during this event.

“Students can get involved by volunteering hours if they want to sit at the table [in Stover] during lunchtime or they can actually purchase shoes for themselves,” said Hardie.

“Theresa has a computer set up during lunch.

[Students] can then purchase any TOMS shoes

they want from the website or through a catalog that will be available to students during lunch as well.”

Students can purchase shoes for people in Tuba City during lunchtime from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. on the second floor of the Stover Campus Center.

Butler said that she is trying to get the price of the donations increased in order to cover other costs

involved with the donations.

“We submitted a new idea to the Student Senate for shoe costs,” said Butler. “Right now it’s $5 for a donation but we want to make it $10 a pair so we can cover shipping.”

Students and all others who want to find out more about TOMS shoes can find them on Facebook, Twitter, Youtube, Pinterest and Instagram.

business, culture on trip to Ireland

By Michelle Dunseath Staff Writer Business students that are a part of the Graduate and Professional Studies program at Southpointe center will be traveling abroad to Ireland.

These students are going on this trip as a requirement of the optional international business course.

With this course, students participate in an eight day learning experience outside of the U.S. The date of departure is Oct. 5 and return on Oct. 13.

There are a total of 19 people attending this trip.

Eleven of the students attending the trip are students from the Graduate and Professional Studies program.

Six of the attendees are friends of the students.

In addition, one instructor and one advisor will be attending the trip as well.

This trip costs $2,800 per person.

Although the trip may seem expensive, it can contribute to the student’s future, according to Janice Crile, the advisor of the trip.

“I see this as an investment in a student’s future to learn in a global business environment”, Crile said.

Primarily, the trip is funded by the students, but they can also use student aid to pay for expenses.

In addition, students are able to take advantage of a number of fundraising opportunities to earn the money to help them pay for their trip.

“We try to get the most accomplished out of the price, but ultimately, safety is the most important factor” said Domenic Marian, the instructor attending the trip.

Marian is an adjunct instructor for the BMA program and has led the

past four trips that the program has offered to students.

Some of the other locations that have been visited were Italy, Germany and also Ireland.

The core aspect of this trip is to get students comfortable traveling anywhere on the planet.

In the long run, the values gained on the trip will be beneficial for each of the students in attendance, as well as their friends, Marian said.

“You never know when a company is going to ask you to travel abroad, which is why this trip is important for business students,” Marian said.

“Anyone can tell you how to market worldwide, but it is a completely different understanding when witnessing it firsthand.”

The itinerary for this trip is filled with educational and historical implements.

The group leaves on Friday, arrive in Ireland on Saturday and hit the ground running from there, said Crile.

“This is a very intense hands-on learning experience for our adult students,” Crile said.

This is the third year that Crile has been an advisor for the international trip.

“Domenic [Marian] and I work for a tour company, CIE Tours, to develop the trip”, said Crile.

Students also get the chance to explore the new culture while they are in Ireland.

There are spots in the planned schedule for the attendees to sight see and discover what Ireland has to offer.

The opportunity has been warmly received by students since the trips started being offered.

“I know we [the faculty] are doing something right,” Marian said.

“Students love the experience and we have had occasions where students want to go again.”

Emergency food drive, donation raise around $200k for pantry

By Kyle Edwards Senior Editor Over the past few weeks, the shelves in the Corner Cupboard Food Bank in Waynesburg have been slowly emptying. But the tables have turned after an emergency food drive on Friday.

From 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., representatives from Corner Cupboard camped out on the steps of the Greene County Courthouse and collected monetary donations and food.

According to Jan Caldwell, director of Corner Cupboard, the largest part of the drive was a donation by the Greene County Memorial Hospital Foundation.

“The Hospital Foundation has pledged a donation of $100,000 over the next five years,” said Caldwell. “We

In addition to the donation made by the Greene County Memorial Hospital Foundation, Friday’s emergency food drive raised a grand total of 10,667 pounds, more than five tons, of food for the Corner Cupboard Food Bank. received $20,000 of that on Friday, and we will receive $20,000 a year for the next four years.

Through their generosity, we will be able to sustain ourselves for the next five years.”

Caldwell said she believes that the donation showed an incredible amount of foresight.

“I was in total disbelief of how much the members of that foundation understood that hunger is an ongoing problem. For them to make a huge donation – $20,000 is two months’ worth of food for us – that’s one sixth of our food budget, is absolutely incredible,” she said.

“It’s a shining example of how the members of that organization are. It encompasses the shining spirit and generosity of a little county in southwestern Pennsylvania known as Greene County.”

Caldwell said that all of the donations have stored up the founda-

tions of the food bank, ensuring the continuation of its mission.

“It just goes to show that Greene County always steps up to help those in need,” she said.

“We’re even getting donations coming in from Pittsburgh – people who don’t even know us, but are giving of them-

selves out of the goodness of their hearts.

That’s the bottom line of this story.”

Including the donation, the drive has raised a total of $186,425 (with more still coming in), but the giving didn’t stop there. According to Sam Kniha, program coordinator for Corner Cupboard, 10,667 pounds, or 5.33 tons, of food was donated on Friday alone, with a whole tractortrailer filled with food coming in the next week from Central Pennsylvania Food Bank and more coming in each day.

“The immediate problem for us [before the food drive] was that the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays are right around the corner.

holds grand opening celebration tomorrow

By Kyle Edwards Senior Editor After two months of operation, the Artbeat gallery in downtown Waynesburg will hold its grand opening celebration on Friday, Sept.

28 from 6 to 9 p.m.

“August really isn’t a good time for this sort of thing,” said Linda Winegar, coowner of the fine art/fine craft gallery.

“People are going on end-of-the-summer vacations, sending kids back to school and other things like that, and we had some craft shows that we had going on in the months since we’ve opened, so we decided to delay the celebration until the end of September. We didn’t want to have the

opening celebration at a time when not a whole lot of people could find the time to attend.”

The fine art/fine craft gallery, located on the corner of High and Church streets, is owned and operated by Linda and her husband Jim. The Winegars are potters whose home and pottery studio, Winegar Pottery, is located in Graysville.

The couple said that they have been involved with other galleries over the years, which is what made them want to open a gallery of their own.

Editorial

Answer the call WU community is called to serve others The words “Faith, Learning and Serving” are spoken and heard so frequently at Waynesburg University that sometimes we lose sight of what those three words really mean. The words are recited so often that they become habit, so the message loses its meaning.

The faith part is the hardest of the three as even the most devout Christians struggle with their faith at times. But there are so many opportunities to grow in faith at Waynesburg. Missing out on those chances is, for lack of a better word, a sin.

The learning part is much more simple; go to class, do your homework and you’ll surely learn a thing or two.

The service aspect of that key phrase is challenging in its own special way. It requires a great deal of strength and effort and may put the server in an uncomfortable situation. No matter the challenge, both sides benefit from the service.

There is a reason that serving comes last in the saying. Through service, one can grow in faith and learn a lot about his or her character and thoughts on life. The University holds serving so highly that it requires every student to take part in a service project before graduating.

There are plenty of opportunities to get involved with some type of service project and fulfill that service requirement. There are also quite a few groups and organizations that are currently fundraising for an upcoming mission trip. In a way, donating to these fundraising groups does a service for them.

Your help will allow them to travel to a depressed area and aid those who are in need.

So the next time a student is selling candy, think twice about ignoring a call to service.

Health in danger Greene County should adopt healthy habits Greene County: home of Scotty’s Pizza, College Town Diner and a plethora of fast food restaurants.

It’s no wonder then that Greene County was recently ranked 66th out of 68 for healthiest counties in Pennsylvania by countyhealthrankings.org.

In other words, Greene County is the second-least healthy county in our state.

Contributing factors to this unhealthiness include higher-than-average levels of physical inactivity, adult obesity and unemployment coupled with fewer-than-average health screenings and air pollution-ozone days.

And that needs to change.

Not only is it embarrassing to live in one of the least healthy counties in the state – talk about terrible Public Relations. But the poor health of Greene County contributes to the poor health of our world.

Healthier eating options are an easy solution to the obesity problem; if restaurants on and around campus offered healthier options – think spicy grilled chicken patties as opposed to deep-fried ones, or lowfat dressings instead of calorie-laden ones – then people would surely become accustomed to healthy options and, eventually, indulge in frozen yogurt instead of Dairy Queen ice cream.

Change is not always fast, but no one ever walked before crawling, and healthier residents in a greener Greene County is definitely a cause worth changing for.

Vehicles of the future have arrived The future is here.

Our technology is advancing on a daily basis, and it never ceases to amaze me. The most recent wonder I read about was self-driving cars.

I remember the first time I ever pondered this idea. “The Simpsons,” one of my all-time favorite TV shows, aired an episode called “Maximum Homerdrive” in 1999.

In this episode, the main character, Homer, has to take over for a truck driver who unexpectedly dies in an eating contest. Homer then

discovers the biggest secret of truck drivers: all trucks are controlled by a self-driving system, and truckers can do whatever they want while the trucks drive themselves.

Now, 13 years later, self-driving vehicles are actually beginning to appear on the road.

According to the Los Angeles Times, a bill that will allow self-driving cars on California’s roads was signed into law at Google headquarters on Tuesday.

The self-driving vehicles use radar, video cameras and lasers to navigate roads without human assistance.

Now when I say insults, it’s not so much directed toward Obama, although that’s what they want you to believe. Actually, their words are more of an insult to themselves and citizens of the United States, as well as their public speaking teachers at (insert college with high tuition cost here). Last week, Romney went off on a now-infamous tangent about how he doesn’t care about the 47 percent of Americans that depend on food stamps and don’t take a personal responsibility with their lives.

Become less dependent on smartphones I’m one of the 55 percent of adults that don’t own a smartphone in the United States.

phone distractions, NHTA says.

The goal of those in favor of self-driving vehicles is to reduce the number of injuries and fatalities on the road. It would be amazing if that could happen.

While the vehicles are still being tested in California, it is expected that they may be ready for operation on all public roads within a few years.

A lot of people enjoy driving, but I would be pretty happy if I never had to drive again.

Some people might say this is laziness, but the reason I’m in favor of autonomous vehicles is purely safety. Driving kind of scares me, to be honest. Evidently, the day we no longer have to fear our lives while driving is on its way.

Oh, technology.

Sessions’ office said that President Obama’s budget will add almost $11 trillion to the federal debt over the next 10 years.

So yeah, Paul Ryan is right…to an extent. To some Americans, Obama’s budget is devastating to the country, but if anyone should be talking about the president’s budget plans, it shouldn’t be Paul Ryan.

Even other conservatives don’t approve of his budget. That’s right, Republicans hate his idea of a budget. This is where Ryan needs to learn what to speak about.

“Mr. Ryan’s sonorous campaign rhetoric about shrinking Big Government and giving tax cuts to ‘job creators’ will do nothing to reverse the nation’s economic decline and arrest its fiscal collapse,” said former Budget Director for Ronald Reagan, David Stockman. “Mr. Ryan’s plan is devoid of credible math or hard policy choices.”

What is astonishing in this whole ordeal is that even when they are one absurd sentence away from blowing this chance to bring change to the White House, they choose to let the “insults” fly.

So no matter what party wins, regardless of what person chooses to “speak their mind”, at least I know I’m going to have a few laughs along the way.

So I’m going to get my popcorn ready, pull up a seat and continue to watch Fox News’ new comedy this fall, the Republican Party.

Jackets win wild one at Wiley

Kyle Oland Sports Editor

Sports have always been an outlet for me when events in my life have made things difficult.

I could always count on a sporting event or a game on TV being able to take my mind off of whatever was bothering me.

This weekend, we saw how sports help the emotional healing process, even during the most tragic of times.

Early Sunday morning, Baltimore Ravens’ wide receiver Torrey Smith received a phone call, the kind of phone call people hope they never get. At 2 a.m., Smith got a call telling him that his 19 year-old brother, Tevin Jones, died in a motorcycle accident.

Growing up, Smith took care of his six younger siblings. His mother worked multiple jobs, so as the eldest, it was his job to cook and get his siblings ready for school. He received the nickname “Microwave King” because of the meals he used to prepare for his family.

Jones was not just his little brother, but he was like a son to Smith because of the role Smith played during Jones’ youth.

After losing his brother only hours before Sunday’s game, Smith decided to play in the Ravens’ nationally-televised game against the New England Patriots.

Not one person would blame Smith had he decided to miss Sunday’s game, but he made the decision to play because it was what his brother would have wanted him to do.

I can’t begin to imagine the emotions and thoughts running through Smith’s body during the game, but the receiver’s bravery was inspiring.

Before the game, cameras showed Smith with tears streaming down his face during a moment of silence dedicated to the memory of his brother.

On national television, Smith revealed the inner strength that propelled a young boy forced into a father figure role to become a starting receiver in the National Football League.

The senior back ended the game with over 100 yards rushing for the second straight week, pacing a Yellow Jacket rushing attack that outgained the Saints, 165-143.

“I’m glad that he did that,” said Waynesburg head coach Rick Shepas.

“Dom is one of our motivational leaders. He’s a

Beth-Center kid. The game is important to him and it’s important that he plays well for his teammates too.”

Thomas More struck back later in the first half.

The visitors converted on a 10-play, 80-yard scoring drive at the beginning of the second quarter. Landon Savoy capped the drive with a 10-yard sprint to the right pylon.

Friends and Partners Tennis duo together since high school

This anonymous quote explains how sports can make friendships; however, it doesn’t mention how sports can strengthen them.

Ellen Limback and Madison DuBrock met in first grade. The two were acquaintances, but nothing more. They continued to grow up together and enjoy each other’s company in extracurricular activities such as Girl Scouts.

Limback and DuBrock studied the game together but did not begin playing competitive doubles together until their sophomore year of high school.

“Ever since we started taking lessons together, we’ve become pretty close.”

“Megan is really focused on leading this team week in and week out. She works hard on the little things and they are really paying off,” said Hardie. “When the dust clears, we know that Megan will be one of the best runners this program has ever seen.”

The women had a twoweek break before competing in the Saint Vincent Invitational Saturday.

goal that we executed off of their mistake.”

After the Jackets took the lead, it all fell apart for the home team. With 13 minutes left in the first half, a controversial penalty kick was awarded to Frostburg State that gave the Bobcats an opportunity to tie the game.

The call was made due to a handball inside the box, but Griffiths felt the center referee had called the play differently.

“I was disappointed in the call. I believe that the center ref had decided that it was not a purposeful handball, but after he blew the whistle he was kind of stuck,” said Griffiths. “It was a mixture of bad luck and poor signing by the line judge.”

Griffiths said that on the play the line judge held her flag up in the air to signal offside. It wasn’t until after the center ref had blown the whistle that the line judge began to wave the flag, calling

the handball that led to the penalty shot.

After the Bobcats tied the game with the penalty kick, the Jackets lost all of their momentum. Griffiths said his team’s mental and emotional toughness diminished as Waynesburg gave up another two goals in the next 11 minutes.

“As a team, we failed to respond positively to the [penalty shot]. Instead of going into the half tied at one, we gave up two very soft, atrocious goals,” said Griffiths. “At that point we need leaders to step up and say ‘What’s done is done and we can’t undo a bad call by a referee.’ We lost that game because we imploded. It’s our fault.”

After the half, the Jackets went with a different game plan, switching formations. The most signif-

icant change was Coach Griffiths’ decision to pull starting sophomore goaltender Brandon Daughtry after the first half and sub in backup sophomore Seth Polk as a replacement.

Daughtry said that he deserved to be pulled after the half he had played.

“I couldn’t agree more with [Coach Griffiths’] decision,” said Daughtry.

“If I was a coach in the same situation I would’ve taken myself out. I only had two saves and three goals against me. That’s just not good enough.”

Daughtry said they just have to forget this game and watch film and prepare for their next game.

“We don’t have time to sit and dwell upon things like this,” said Daughtry.

“We just have to take it, learn from it and move

“We had a chance to work on pacing a bit more. As the results showed, our girls respond well when we hit our paces on each and every mile,” said Hardie. “The key for this team is to work harder each week and be able to up their pace when it matters.”

The hilly course at Saint Vincent provided a challenge the Jackets haven’t faced much this season.

“I think we really stepped up this week and competed very hard against some of the rival conference schools,” Hardie said. “For the first time in a few years we really didn’t have a let-

down from top to bottom.”

The women finished at an impressive third place out of the 13 schools running at the event. This was mainly due to the fact that Waynesburg’s top four runners finished in the top-20.

Fortna led the Jackets by placing sixth overall with a time of 20:05.

Freshman Megan Ferrick and sophomore Joy Talbott crossed the finish line in 13th and 14th place. Both runners finished in a time of 20:47 with Ferrick finishing by a hair over Talbott.

Volleyball wins two on Saturday Defense leads Jackets over Carlow and Pitt-Greensburg

By Marvin Sampson, Jr. Staff Writer The Waynesburg University volleyball team put on an impressive display Saturday as it swept Carlow and Pitt-Greensburg in a home tri-match.

“I think we are just starting to figure out how to play together,” said junior Amanda Silay. “On the court we’re very much more consistent, which turns to establish rhythm in our play.”

With the two-game sweep, the Yellow Jackets now bumped their record to 5-8 (1-5 Presidents’ Athletic Conference) with a solid home record of 3-2.

“Everything can’t be perfected every game,” Silay said. “When you are able to play as one cohesive Unit things seem to

The Yellow Jackets defeated Carlow College in gritty fashion, 3-2, by dominating the first set, 25-10. Then, the Jackets fell short in the next two sets, 28-26 and 25-13.

However, the Orange and Black fought back to take the fourth set, 28-26, and then hung on to bring home a tough fifth set, 1513.

“I think our team confidence is at a high right now,” Silay said. “We are believing in ourselves and

more importantly believing in each other when the game is on the line and that’s key.”

In the next match, the Jackets wasted no time defeating Pitt-Greensburg, 3-1.

The Jackets won the first two sets, 25-17 and 25-9. Following early success, the Jackets fell short in the third set, 25-22.

But, in the end, the Jackets capped off a solid victory by winning the fourth set, 25-17.

According to head

coach Stephanie Benkowski, the Jackets are a defensive oriented unit.

“I think our recent success is attributed to our intensity but more importantly our communication,” said Silay. “When we talk out on the court and let each other know what’s happening, that gives us confidence and we are able to accomplish a lot more together.”

In Silay’s first year as a starter, the team is rallying around her impact and leadership.

“Mental toughness is always something I have worked hard at,” said Silay. “The team is always my main focus and I would do whatever it takes to help the team as a whole.”

The Jackets look to continue this winning streak and improve their record during their next five away games.

Senior midfielder Heidi Weaver battles for possession of the ball in an earlier game against Marietta.

Bradford had 13 shots while Waynesburg had seven.

This problem led to most of the Pitt-Bradford goals, as two goals came off of set pieces and one was off of a cross.

The Yellow Jackets gave up three second half goals in the loss. Freshman goalkeeper Ciara Scott played all 90 minutes in Tuesday’s loss.

Scott is hoping to rebound quickly from the tough game against Pitt-Bradford.

“Communication is a big key,” said Scott. “It also helps that my teammates have confidence in me.”

Each match requires a team effort, so Griffiths said that the loss couldn’t be placed solely on the

shoulders of his freshman keeper.

“Ciara made some mistakes, but our entire team made mistakes,” said Griffiths. “We just need to focus and get better.”

The Jackets were at a disadvantage from the opening whistle, as seven players, including starting defender Victoria Shepherd, were unable to make the trip due to academic responsibilities.

Despite this, Scott said that missing key players was no reason to get blown out.

“Just because people are missing doesn’t mean we should stop working as a team,” Scott said.

“We need to come out and execute what we know how to do.”

Head coach Ron Christman had other plans.

“I wanted to split Madison and Ellen up so we would have two good doubles teams, rather than one really good team,” said Christman.

“However, the other players are coming along and it’s all about coming up with the three best doubles teams.”

Limback and DuBrock were not happy about the

news.

“I was really disappointed because we worked so hard to get where we are with the team chemistry,” Limback said. “I tried to embrace it.”

We should be reminded by this weekend that although sports play an enormous role in our culture, there is more to life then sports. Life is so precious, and at times I think we take it for granted, but we should be thankful of every second we have on this earth.

What is great about sports, is that even during the darkest times, a game can help take away one’s pain – even if it is only for a few hours. Like Sunday night, we can be moved by the way a sporting event can impact a life.

Men’s XC preps for PAC’s

Staff Writer On Tuesday, the Waynesburg University women’s soccer team traveled to Bradford, Pa. to take on Pitt-Bradford after dropping back-to-back matches in shutout fashion. The Yellow Jackets lost their most recent game against Mount Union last Wednesday, 10.

The Yellow Jackets had trouble producing offensively against Mount Union, and that continued Tuesday against PittBradford as the Jackets fell, 4-0.

“We have a lack of anticipation and aggressiveness in the box offensively,” said head coach Carl Griffiths. “We need to work on finishing and being more confident in the final third.”

Scoring goals isn’t the only problem for the women’s soccer team right now; keeping opponents quiet offensively also seems to be difficult for the Yellow Jackets.

“Pitt-Bradford was more aggressive, and they wanted it more,” said Griffiths.

The shot differential echoed Griffiths’ comments, as the Panthers nearly doubled Waynesburg’s shots on goal. Pitt-

The Waynesburg University men’s cross country team took the course at the Saint Vincent Invitational in Latrobe, Pa. this past Saturday. The team placed seventh out of 11 teams.

“I think the guys ran a very good race this weekend,” head coach Chris Hardie said. “We knew we could match up well at this meet and we saw that if we put a good race in we could close the gap on some of the conference schools.”

Taking home the team title was California University of Pa. out of Division II. Individual top medalist honor went to Geneva’s Nick Edinger, who crossed the line in a time of 26:27.

Even though the Jackets did not beat the top two teams in the Presidents’ Athletic Conference, they still kept up with Saint Vincent College and Geneva College.

“Today’s course was pretty hard because of the hill we had to go up,” said sophomore John Allison.

As the season progresses, Dugan feels like he is progressing.

“Compared to the first meet I feel like I did better with the hills,” said sophomore Dugan. “The weather was way better then the first race of the season.”

After enjoying success in his pervious races, McAuley encountered a tough course. “Today was a tough race and I went out too fast,” said McAuley. “Allison passed me by the third mile.”

Allison has been working hard to catch up to McAuley in every event he has raced.

“I had really good races the past two races,” said Allison. “My training is paying off now.”

Hardie acknowledged that they had fabulous weather to run in for this meet, as opposed to the conditions that the team faced at the Waynesburg Invitational. But now, the team is looking onward to finishing their season strong.

“Our team took a step forward this week and we look forward to a great future,” said Hardie.

The team has many short-term goals with one that is a priority this sea-

son.

“A short term goal is to beat Washington and Jefferson College,” said Blatt. “To catch them with their huge gap from their first runner to their second through fifth runners. So we can put our runners there.”

The men’s cross country team is now looking forward to running at the Bethany Bison Invitational on Sept. 29. Bethany will also host the upcoming PAC championship.

“We are very excited for the meet next weekend,” said Hardie. “We have really been looking forward to this meet since the schedule was announced earlier in camp.”

Running at Bethany will give the Jackets a preview of the PAC championship.

“The guys want to see and learn the course route first and foremost, but they also realize we have many of the conference schools in front of us on Saturday,” said Hardie.

Allison knows that hard work in practice will be a key to success in these upcoming conference races.

“I think this year has been good for the men’s team,” said Allison. “The training we do should prepare us for the rest of the season.”

Week five football preview: Thiel

Yellow Jackets look to stay undefeated Rusty Fleming Staff Writer

The undefeated Waynesburg Yellow Jackets will take on an improving Thiel Tomcat team this Saturday at Alumni Stadium in Greenville, Pa. at 1:30 p.m.

Waynesburg (4-0, 2-0 PAC) is coming off an impressive 14-10 win on Saturday against Presidents’ Athletic Conference powerhouse Thomas More.

Thiel defeated Geneva in overtime in week

three, 21-14, snapping their 24-game losing streak. Last week, the Tomcats fell to 1-3 (1-1 PAC) after losing to Washington & Jefferson, 17-0.

“We’ll prepare for Thiel

like we prepare for every other team,” said senior quarterback Tyler Fatigante. “Every team in this conference is capable of beating any other team.”

The Yellow Jackets, led

by the second ranked defense in the PAC, look to have another strong outing on Saturday.

Thiel’s 238.2 yards per game on offense may stack up well against a

Waynesburg defense that only allows 239.5 yards a game.

On the other hand, the Jackets offense will look to get back on track against Thiel’s 5th ranked defense. The Jackets average 301.5 yards of total offense per game, while Thiel’s defense gives up 324.8 yards per game.

Punters will also play a factor in Saturday’s outcome. Waynesburg senior punter Zach Rodgers and the Tomcats Cody McClelland are the top two punters in the PAC with Rodgers averaging 41.6 yards per punt and McClelland averaging 39.2 yards. Both will look to flip the field on each other’s team, and give

their school an advantage.

After the win on Saturday, the Jackets look to avoid a letdown against Thiel.

“It’s definitely a trap game for sure,” head coach Rick Shepas said.

“We will keep our guys in a forward thinking mindset rather than be in the moment or thinking forward as opposed to reading press clippings or things of that nature.”

With strong senior leadership and one of the top defenses in the PAC, the Jackets want to storm forward into the weekend.

“Our coaches will put us in a good situation as they always do - we just need to execute our game plan, said Fatigante.”

Weekly Awards Special teams plays key role in win Blocked punt wins game

By Kyle Oland Sports Editor With windy conditions at John F. Wiley Stadium, both the Yellow Jackets and Thomas More Saints struggled to move the ball on offense Saturday afternoon.

Heading into the showdown against the Saints, Waynesburg senior punter Zack Rogers believed the special teams’ units would figure to be a factor in the outcome of the game. “[Our] special teams had a rough year last year – we lost three close games because of it,” said Rogers. “We have been trying to work at it every week and get better. I had a feeling that it would be a break out time for us.”

With the offense struggling to move the ball, the right foot of Rogers consistently kept pinning the Saints on their side of midfield. On the day, the

“[Our] special teams had a rough year last year - we lost three close games because of it.”

Zack Rogers Senior punter

senior averaged 43.1 yards on seven kicks; including a 57-yard bomb from the Yellow Jacket end zone, keeping the Saints from starting their drive in Waynesburg territory.

Waynesburg head coach Rick Shepas said that the kicking game helped determine Saturday’s outcome.

“I thought Zack Rogers was pretty special in the kicking game,” said Shepas. “I think this is the second week where Zack averaged over 42 yards a punt.”

Currently, the senior punter is ranked number 12 in Division III, averaging 41.36 yards a punt.

While Rogers, a three year starter for Shepas, has seen his share of game-action over the

years, it was an unfamiliar face who ultimately led Waynesburg to a win.

After missing his entire freshman campaign following ACL surgery, sophomore reserve tailback Willie Leavell had perhaps one of Waynesburg’s most electrifying plays in recent memory.

With the Saints lined up to punt from their 30yard line and the Yellow Jackets down 10-7 late in the fourth quarter, Leavell surged through the line and blocked the punt while grabbing the ball in one simultaneous movement. Leavell then proceeded to sprint 18 yards into the end zone for what would prove to be the game-winning touchdown.

Shepas said that after

An inadvertent touch on a punt by junior Marvin Sampson gave the Saints possession at the Waynesburg 40-yard line with more than 12 minutes remaining in the third quarter. The stout Jacket defense was able to minimize the damage, allowing the Saints to take only three points away from their superb field position, making the score 10-7.

Near the end of the third quarter, a similar special teams blunder occurred. Senior Christian Jackson mishandled a short punt and turned the ball over at the Saints’ 35yard line. Waynesburg’s defense again responded with tenacious play, forcing the Saints into a threeand-out.

“We didn’t take advantage of our opportunities in the third quarter,” said Hilvert. “We had opportunity after opportunity in the third quarter to do things with the football that we did not do today.

Against a team like Waynesburg, we have to make the most of those opportunities, and we didn’t do

that.”

Hilvert cited failures to control the line of scrimmage and connect on short passing plays as reasons why the Saints only tallied three points in the second half.

The Saints held a 10-7 lead deep into the final quarter of regulation.

With fewer than seven minutes to play, the Saints were forced to punt deep in their own territory.

failed attempts earlier in the game to block a punt, he was just hoping for a bad kick, but instead something happened he didn’t even expect.

“I have never seen anything like that,” he said.

“It was like a cartoon.”

For Leavell, who feared he would never play football again following his injury, just playing again made his day.

“It feels great to just be out on the field again,” said Leavell. “I got in a little bit in the first game and got my feet wet, but this game I got a little bit more and it felt good.”

Going forward, the Waynesburg special teams units will look to continue their success as they compete for a conference championship.

cial moment, Leavell was able to sneak past the front line and cleanly block Mitch McDowell’s punt before the ball left the kicker’s foot. Leavell trapped the football against his chest and sprinted 18-yards to the end zone, untouched, for a Waynesburg score.

“With their protection, my gap was wide open and I just shot the gap,” said Leavell. “Their punter runs a little rugbystyle punt. He got outside the personal protector and I was just able to come free and block it.”

Junior kicker Alex Henry booted the point after through the uprights, giving Waynesburg a 1410 lead it would not relinquish.

The Yellow Jackets defeated the nationally touted Saints for the second time in as many meetings. Both victories included electrifying plays on special teams.

Sophomore tailback lauded for special teams play against Saints Sophomore running back Willie Leavell has been an award magnet ever since his special teams touchdown against Thomas More helped preserve the Yellow Jackets’ unbeaten season.

After his contribution in Saturday’s win against the Saints, the EastLeavell ern Collegiate Athletic Conference lauded Leavell as its Division III Southwest Special Teams Player of the Week.

The sophomore’s efforts already earned him the Presidents’ Athletic Conference Special Teams Player of the Week award and Waynesburg Athlete of the Week.

Leavell completed the most exciting play of Waynesburg’s young football season when he scored off of a blocked a punt in the fourth quarter of Saturday’s game.

He blocked Mitch McDowell’s punt and trapped it against his chest in one continuous motion, then sprinted 18 yards to pay dirt.

His touchdown stood as the difference in the game, as the Yellow Jackets went on to win, 14-10.

Leavell also contributed a tackle on special teams, playing as the outside gunner as part of the punt team.

Saturday’s game was the most productive of the sophomore’s brief college career after missing the entire 2011 campaign due to injury.

Leavell and his teammates will be back in action on Saturday when they square off against the Thiel College Tomcats.

around, it was Pat DePizzo that scored on a 40yard play; this year, Leavell returned the football 18 yards for a touchdown. Despite turning the football over twice, Shepas still said that the Jackets had a successful performance on special teams.

Aside from Leavell’s game-changing punt block, senior punter Zack Rogers contributed by blasting seven punts and averaging 43.1 yards per kick, including a careerbest 57-yard punt.

“On a windy day, special teams is going to be a factor, so it’s about defense and not doing anything stupid with the football,” said Shepas.

“We were lucky with the mistakes we made to be in the situation we were in, so we’re grateful for that.”

While the running game carried the home team, Waynesburg put on one of its poorest passing displays of the season.

Fatigante threw two inter-

ceptions and only completed 10-of-20 pass attempts for 93 yards.

A bright spot in the Jackets’ aerial attack was Adam Moses, who caught four balls for a game-high 56 yards. With that performance, the senior tight end surpassed 1,000 career receiving yards.

“I am very grateful to be having a successful career,” said Moses. “I am blessed with a great coaching staff, teammates and family that have given me the opportunities I have had,” This win against the 23rd-ranked Saints solidified the Jackets’ position as a top competitor in the PAC. “Each win is another step on the ladder towards our goal,” said Moses. “In a balanced conference, each game has a huge measure on the outcome of a season.”

The Jackets return to action Saturday when they travel to Thiel College for a conference showdown.

Waynesburg Idol debuts with ‘impressive’ contestants

By Alex Hinton Op/Ed, Assignments Editor The opening night of Waynesburg Idol brought out hundreds of people ready to cheer on the 14 students who competed in the first round of the popular singing competition last Friday.

Every seat in the auditorium of the Goodwin Performing Arts Center was filled.

A live broadcast was played on a television in the lobby, which was packed with the overflow of people who couldn’t squeeze into the crowded auditorium.

Waynesburg Idol, the university’s version of the hit reality TV show American Idol, is in its eighth season.

Student Activities Board plans this yearly event.

Kaitlyn Berkebile, junior early childhood special education major and SAB member, was excited to see such a

large turnout at the competition.

“It feels good that [SAB] can put together events that are so successful,” Berkebile said.

“It gets their name out there really well.”

The 14 students to compete in the first round of this year’s competition were Brianna Griffin, Andrew Manke, Olivia Workman, Shawn Wharrey, Megan Bayles, Jenna Schmiedel, Caitlin Brown, Steve Hullings, Adam Tapparo, Chelsea Heckman, Abigail Hancher, Christy Ritter, Jeremiah Bradley and Danielle Wise. “[The competition] was impressive. There was a lot of hidden talent,” Berkebile said.

“I never would have guessed that there were so many good singers here. It’s a good outlet – a good opportunity to show off their talents.”

Berkebile respects the contestants for being able to captivate a crowd.

“What they did is

pretty admirable,” she said.

“They should be happy that they have that talent and are able to express it.”

After all of the night’s contestants perform, the audience member votes for their favorite singers via text messages. Guest judges also comment on each performance.

This year’s judges are Associate Professor of Education Frank Pazzynski, 2011 Waynesburg Idol Emily Dubberke, Resident Director Anne Schrock and Waynesburg University alumna Victoria Beppler.

“I thought it was excellent,” Beppler said.

“When we did auditions, it was a cappella, so to hear [the contestants] with background music and microphones was awesome.”

Many of the contestants’ performances got the audience involved, with cheers, snaps and claps throughout the songs, as well as several

standing ovations.

“I thought it was pretty sweet when [Topparo], who sang ‘Accidentally in Love’, got the first cheer and then let loose,” Berkebile said. “That first cheer was all he needed. That was awesome.”

Beppler agreed that Topparo did a great job capturing the audience’s attention.

“When Adam [Tappparo] engaged the crowd, that was my favorite moment,” she said.

This Friday, the top eight performers will be announced. The top eight will compete in the second round of performances at 8 p.m. in the Goodwin Performing Arts Center.

Beppler has high expectations for the performances during the second round.

She said that the contestants should “own the stage, and get the audience engaged.”

“That’s how people will remember them,” she said.

With mid-terms rapidly approaching and stress levels on the rise, students may think it would be nice to sit, relax, talk and receive helpful tips about dealing with the everyday stresses of college life from a woman who has “been there, done that;” a woman who is going to grad school, is working here at the college and at another job on the side, all the while maintaining meaningful relationships and keeping her stress levels down.

If so, then the Easy Escape Wednesday group may be right for you.

The group, also known as EEW, is organized by graduate student

Caroline Degnan, who believes she knows where students are coming from when it comes to managing stress and handling the ups and downs of everyday life thanks to her own personal experiences.

“I am currently a graduate student, and I know how stressful the life of a student is,” she said.

“By doing a lot of the activities that I will bring to the group in my everyday life, I have seen a world of difference, and I hope that students might feel the same way.”

EEW is different from any other counseling groups at the center because instead of focusing on ‘counseling,’ the sessions focus See GROUP on D2

Campus and community help students fund trips

By Sara Faiad Staff Writer Each year, Waynesburg University supports numerous domestic and international mission trips and the 2012-2013 year offers nothing less.

This year, Waynesburg University offers 11 domestic and seven international mission trips, combining to make a total of 18 service destinations.

Domestic trips include service projects at nearby sites, like the Greene County Habitat for Humanity and The Pittsburgh Project, as well as trips to several

states, including West Virginia, Arizona, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina and New Jersey.

A service trip to the domestic province Puerto Rico is also planned.

In addition, students have the opportunity to travel internationally to countries including Taiwan, Ecuador, Dominican Republic, Central America, Jamaica, Bahamas and Guatemala.

With all the opportunities to provide service by helping others, Waynesburg students See FUNDING on D2

Encore: Trio of musicians returns to Waynesburg University

By Paula Bittner Staff Writer The Manhattan Piano Trio payed Waynesburg University another visit this past Thursday.

The Manhattan Piano Trio includes pianist Milana Strezeva, cellist Dmitry Kouzov and violinist Wayne Lee. Strezeva and Kouzov are the original members of the group which began in 2004.

The members of the ensemble attended the Julliard School.

“We went to school

together,” Strezeva said.

“Wayne joined in 2008.

We decided to play with each other and try it out.”

Strezeva, a native of Moldova has been playing the piano for 28 years.

“It’s an interesting program,” she said. “It is based on the key of C. We will see how composers treat this key.”

The trio began with three movements of Joseph Suk’s Trio in C minor Op. 2, Allegro, Andante and Vivace.

Strezeva and Lee preformed Pablo de Sarasate’s

Introduction and Tarantella Op. 43.

Lee began playing the violin at six years old and now has 23 years of experience; however, joining the Trio was an adjustment.

“It was rough,” Lee said. “They speak Russian so they had to speak English when I joined the group.”

Strezeva and Kouzov played Carl Maria von Weber’s Adagio and Rondo. Kouzov started playing the cello at the age of seven and has 27

years of experience.

He is now a professor of cello at University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

The group concluded with four movements of Trio No. 2 in C minor, Op. 66 by Felix Mendelssohn.

The Manhattan Piano Trio had a strong connection during their performance.

Musician gives ‘personable and passionate’ performance

By Olivia Latimer Staff Writer On Tuesday, Sept. 18, the Student Activities Board held a Coffeehouse in the Beehive.

The featured musician was Ernie Halter.

The event was held at 8 p.m., and free coffee mugs were provided to the first 100 students that arrived to the event.

The Student Activities Board also provided refreshments.

Coffee, hot chocolate, hot tea in many different varieties, such as spiced chai and more were available to drink, as provided

by Waynesburg Press.

There was also an assortment of cookies and biscottis.

Ernie Halter played an assortment of 11 original songs.

Halter had many students laughing in between his songs with stories of his experiences and his personal life.

Halter said that he loves to be able to travel everywhere and just share

According to the counseling center, all students could benefit from this group.

They state that you need no previous knowledge of relaxation or self-discovery activities to get something valuable out of the group.

Caroline also believes that this counseling group will be a success because she has received positive feedback from a current student that she works with regularly on what they believe other groups like about EEW, including those topics within this group.

“Trying to balance all of one’s academic, work, campus involvement, family and social obligations can be absolutely exhausting,” said Degnan.

“The key to EEW is that it gives students an outlet in the middle of the week to simply come and escape the stress that every college student feels.”

more open, in a sense that there will be no one-on-one engagement, but instead group activities and workshops that will help instruct students on how to deal with college life and help them to hopefully have a better college experience while they are at Waynesburg.

“I am so excited to have the opportunity to share what I have learned and will be continuing to learn,” said Caroline.

“I think that my greatest hope for this group is that people might let their guards down and just try it.”

The counseling group meets for 50 minutes every Wednesday at noon.

The first part of the session will focus primarly on several relaxation, self-discovery and stress relief techniques and activities.

The second half will be spent eating lunch together as a group and without the hustle and bustle of the cafeteria.

For any further questions or information on EEW, students are encouraged to contact Caroline Degnan or stop into the counseling center.

Degnan’s office hours are from Wednesday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Continued from D1 raise the question — How will I ever afford that?

Fortunately, with the combined efforts of the student, the university and the community, the financial answer becomes easier than most expect.

Dave Calvario, dean of Students and Director of Center for Service of Leadership, describes a grant established approximately 10 years ago by Dr. Jeff Kisner.

“The PCUSA grant was the start of help towards funding,” said Calvario.

“Now the grant is known as the mission scholarship fund.”

Waynesburg alumni AJ Morris created an endowment to help students afford international trips, to finance students studying locally and to help students who are pursuing master degrees.

Alumni donations further aid the scholarship fund, building encouragement and support for student service trips from the surrounding community.

“Donations contribute to a general pot for the scholarship fund, then the fund is divided from that general pot,” said Calvario.

“There is no set number of scholarships.

Each year, the university studies the costs and number of

albums and has even had one of his original songs covered by pop star Justin Bieber.

Halter said he originally got started in music because of his background in acting.

“I was involved in acting a lot when I was

younger,” said Halter.

“My parents forced me to take acting lessons. I liked it but I wasn’t very into it.

Eventually I realized that music was what I was more interested in and then I got into a fight with my acting instructor

participants and reevaluates the scholarship amount.”

However, the mission scholarship fund only offers a portion of the funds needed to attend a mission service trip.

“Basically, we encourage students to apply for scholarship funds,” said Sarah Brandstetter, coordinator of the Bonner scholar program.

“On top of that, each team leader does things a little differently, but all teams provide alternative fundraising like selling candy bars or hosting a McDonald’s night.”

Funding from scholarships provide for approximately 25 percent of the cost of domestic trips and 30 percent of the cost for most international trips.

“Campus birthday cakes, Sheetz truck and coupons, Ten Thousand Villages, and Soup for the Soul are all fundraisers sponsoring mission trips,” Calvario said.

Student interest generates fundraising activities.

Students are encouraged to write letters to request donations towards their individ-

ual fundraising.

“We see a lot of success in home or local churches,” said Calvario.

“Letters build a group of people who support you, and allows you to share your experience with invested individuals. You open their eyes to other parts of the world,” said Brandstetter.

“I think it would be great for students to go back to invested churches, and present to the community what was done while on the

and switched.”

Halter attended musical camps and classes soon after.

Halter said he enjoys playing at events like Tuesday’s Coffeehouse performance.

“Any day that I get to play music for other people is a good day,” he said.

Halter now has five records and his music is available wherever music is found, including iTunes and Amazon.

Halter took time after the show to sit down with anyone who wanted to hang out with him for a while.

He spoke with anyone who had questions and even gave a few brief guitar lessons.

Student Melissa Bachorski said she couldn’t get enough of him.

“I loved him. He was very personable and you can tell he is passionate about his music,” Bachorski said.

“I very much enjoy the Coffeehouses, they are very laid back and entertaining.”

mission trip.”

“You provide an experience of a real God moment and a real transformation,” said Calvario.

“The community can support students through purchasing goods, being aware of the struggle, and doing what is possible.”

Every opportunity for fundraising goes towards an individual participant’s costs for travel, food, stay and sometimes other supply costs for building projects.

Said Calvario, “The costs of some international trips cause sticker shock.”

He continued, “If God is calling you, there is a way to earn money.

It will take an effort from you, but we will work on fundraising together. Don’t let a price deter you.”
