Four Cal Alumnus now on NFL rosters By Sports Information For the Cal Times
With the start of the NFL regular season only days away, an impressive four former California University of Pennsylvania football players – Tommie Campbell (Tennessee Titans), Dominique Curry (St. Louis Rams), Terrence Johnson (Indianapolis Colts) and Josh Portis (Seattle Seahawks) – were selected to the 53-player active roster with their respective teams. Campbell (No. 37) was selected in the seventh round of the 2011 NFL Draft by the Titans and is listed as the second-string right cornerback behind All-Pro Cortland Finnegan, who was a seventh-round selection in 2006. In four preseason games, Campbell posted eight tackles (seven solo), registered two interceptions and defended four passes. On Aug. 27, the 6-3, 205-pound rookie returned his first career interception 90 yards for a touchdown in a 14-13 victory over the Chicago Bears (video). Curry (No. 15) made the active roster with the Rams for the second-straight year. Last season, he became the first Vulcan

to play in a NFL regular-season game since wide receiver Perry Kemp in 1991. He appeared in the last three games this preseason and is one of seven
wide receivers on the active roster with St. Louis. Curry appeared in two games last season and blocked a punt against the Washington Redskins in Week 3
before suffering a season-ending injury. Johnson (No. 46) made the active roster with the Colts in 2011 after finishing last year on
their practice squad. Originally signed as undrafted free agent by the New England Patriots last year, he appeared in all four games this preseason and totaled 16 tackles (10 solo) with one pass defended. Johnson is listed as a reserve right cornerback and second-string punt returner with Indianapolis. Portis (No. 13) was signed as undrafted free agent by the Seahawks in July and enters the season as the third-string quarterback behind Tarvaris Jackson and Charlie Whitehurst. The 6-3 rookie appeared in three games this preseason, completing 10-of-24 attempts for 124 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions. Portis also rushed for 51 yards on 10 carries and helped lead Seattle to a 24-17 comeback win over the San Diego Chargers on ESPN in the first preseason game of 2011. In addition to the Cal U quartet on active rosters, wide receiver Derrick Jones (No. 14) was in training camp with the Oakland Raiders before placed on injured reserve with an Achilles injury on Aug. 10.
How to stay healthy during the school year By Tiffany Guthrie For the Cal Times
Leading a healthy life is a difficult accomplishment for anyone, but for a college student it’s even more intense to achieve. With either living away from home or commuting all the time, having early and late classes, making healthy food choices, and dealing with the peer pressures of the college community; it’s kind of tough to always think about taking care of yourself. At “The Wellness Center” here on campus, located on the Ground floor of Carter Hall, a nurse is readily available 24/7 to all students. “Good Nutrition, enough sleep, avoiding tobacco and alcohol, and regular hand washing are all good ways to keep well during the school semesters,” Dr. Allison Verenna (medical director) said. She also
adds that another way to keep yourself healthy is up-to-date immunizations. Guardasil is free for all college students to prevent cervical cancer and/or genital warts. She also highly promotes abstinence or the use of condoms for protection from STD’s. Also, flu shots are free for those students with diabetes. Maybe you’re not so concerned about not getting sick but worried about those freshman 15 that everyone seems to talk about. Not only does Cal-U offer a wide variety of healthy food choices but there is also the Herron Recreation and Fitness Center. Herron Hall, as it is typically referred, offers several ways to get fit, including rock climbing. It is open to all students every day, times vary.

How to stay healthy during the school year Continued from Page 1 Two freshman friends, Danielle Vourgeois and Sara King plan to motivate each other. “We plan on going to the gym, try not to drink a lot of pop, we try not to snack late, ‘Eat Celery’,” Sara King said. If you have a friend, maybe your roommate; you could work out together, motivate each other on healthy lifestyles and food choices, it’s a great way to stay healthy. For you upperclassman, I’m sure you have already figured out ways of your own to stay healthy. We all know of course, that some things cannot be helped. Having those tissues on hand once the cold weather comes around may be a good idea, some cough drops too. If you would like to know more about being a healthy college student, there will be the 24th Annual Health Fair held in the Performance Center of Natali Student Center, September 14 from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. More
than 30 health related representatives will be there with information on various topics. Health screenings and giveaways are planned as well as a local DJ. Flu shots available for a fee. If you have any questions about the health fair or the wellness center, please contact Fran Fayish at 724-938-5922 or email her at fayish@calu.edu Fran Fayish, Nurse Practitioner, also mentions that the Wellness Center contains an Education Center where students may come to gain information on various topics. If you don’t take anything from this article, take this: Life is all about balance. If you balance a healthy lifestyle with healthy eating; you will be less likely to get sick, exams won’t be as difficult if you get enough sleep and study frequently instead of all at once. So just remember this, as Jerry Springer always says: “Take care of yourself and each other!”
Hurricane Irene kicks off hurricane season By Lisa Pfaff
For the Cal Times Hurricane Irene was the first major hurricane of the 2011 hurricane season. Throughout its path of destruction, Irene has been blamed for at least 40 deaths across a span of 12 US states. According to the business firm Eqecat, in the United States alone it is believed that the hurricane caused more than $10 billion in economic damage, and over 40 million people across the eastern coast of the United States were affected by Irene. Most of the severe damage has been due to the flooding aftermath of the storm. Current relief efforts are being organized by the American Red Cross, Americares, and the Salvation Army. A current tropical storm, Hurricane Lee, is a large storm forming in the Gulf of Mexico. It is believe that the tropical storm has potential to cause up to 20 inches of rain from the

Cross Country teams picked fourth, 11th in preseason poll By Sports Information For the Cal Times
The California University of Pennsylvania men’s and women’s cross country teams were picked to finish fourth and 11th, respectively, in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) announced the league office on Wednesday. On the men’s side, Edinboro was the preseason favorite after receiving seven of the 15 firstplace votes. Defending-NCAA Atlantic Regional Champion Lock Haven received five firstplace votes and tied defendingPSAC Champion Shippensburg, who received three first-place votes, for second place. Cal U and East Stroudsburg both tied for fourth in the preseason poll. In the women’s poll, threetime defending-PSAC and NCAA Atlantic Regional Champion Shippensburg was the unanimous favorite after receiving all 16 first-place votes. The Red Raiders will be led by senior Neely Spence, who has won the PSAC individual crown in each of the last three seasons. Edinboro, last year’s runner-up, was picked to finish second, while Millersville, East Stroudsburg and Mansfield were selected to round out the top five in the poll. Last year, the Cal U men’s team posted its best showing at the PSAC Championships since 1986 by finishing sixth in the team standings. On the women’s side, the Vulcans nearly equaled their best finish at the NCAA Atlantic Regional Championships in two decades.

Men’s soccer team ranked No. 21 in latest NSCAA poll
Photo by: AJ Carpinelli For the second consecutive year, the Vulcans have started the season off with three-straight shutouts, including a 9-0 shutout against Lincoln this past weekend. The Vulcans hope to continue their streak this week as they took on Wheeling Jesuit on Wednesday, Pitt-Johnstown today, and return home sunday to take on Washington Adventist (Md.) at 5:30 p.m.
By Sports Information For the Cal Times
The California University of Pennsylvania men’s soccer team is ranked No. 21 in the latest National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) Top 25 poll released on Tuesday.
The Vulcans started the season by posting a 2-0-1 record with wins at Alderson-Broaddus and versus Lincoln (Pa.) last week. Cal U has yet to allow a goal through the first 290 minutes this season, marking the second-straight year in which it has posted three-consecutive
shutouts to start a campaign. Cal U, who was last ranked in the Top 25 in 2009, used a goal in the 80th minute to claim a 1-0 win on Thursday against the Battlers. The Vulcans then played 110 scoreless minutes in a 0-0 double-overtime tie versus Chestnut Hill (Pa.) on Saturday
in the West Chester Tournament. The following day, seven different players scored a goal to help Cal U tally a 9-0 victory over Lincoln at the weekend tournament. The nationally-ranked Vulcans returned to action on, Wednesday, Sept. 7, when they
hosted Wheeling Jesuit for the first soccer game at the new facility near main campus (Orchard St./Pennsylvania Ave.) The game ended to late for press time but check the Cal Times next week for a full recap.

Vulcan Theater Weekend Show: Pirates of the Caribbean 4 Now showing Friday and Saturday at 4 p.m. and 8 p.m.
By Allyson Simbeck For the Cal Times
“Yo ho, Yo Ho, a pirates life for me.” The fourth movie of the Pirates of the Caribbean is now playing in the Vulcan Theater in the Natali Center. Pirates of Caribbean: on Stranger Tides is about a quest to find the Fountain of Youth. We welcome back Jack Sparrow, (Johnny Depp) as the main pirate in this movie. Joshamee Gibbs (Kevin McNally) Jack’s old mate from the Black Pearl is also along for the ride. Captain Barbosa played by Geoffrey Rush is back as well. We are introduced to the movie by the of the original mates of Black Pearl, Joshamee Gibbs, on trial for being a pirate in London, when the judge to hear his case comes out, we see the dark black eyeliner and automatically recognize Jack Sparrow. He attempts to break his mate out of prison but fails when they realize they have been brought to King George. When Jack Sparrow meets King George, the King starts telling him about an expedition to find the Fountain of Youth. Then we are introduced to the Captain who is in charge of this voyage, Captain Hector Barbosa dressed as solider and has wooden leg. We then find out that Barbosa had lost his leg when The Black Pearl was under attack by the famous pirate Blackbeard. The King then asks Jack if he was in London to gather a crew and ship, Jack soon figures out that someone is impersonating him. When Jack goes to the meeting he discovers the person that was pretending to be him, was his former lover, Angelica (Penelope Cruz). They have a great sword fight scene, which all pirate movies must have. They agree to work together to get to the Fountain of Youth. On

the way, they will steal and lie to each other just as a pirate’s life should be. Before Jack Sparrow and Blackbeard get to the Fountain of Youth, they need two silver challises and a mermaid’s tear. So they go to the lighthouse, because man-made light attracts mermaids, and they sit and wait, for these vicious creatures to crawl on your boat and feed on
your flesh. When we first see the mermaid she is beautiful and then she drags one of the crewmen into the water and we see her fangs. The mermaid army comes and attacks Blackbeard and his men as well as Angelica. Jack saves the day when he blows up the lighthouse to stop the light from shining and attracting more mermaids. During the travel of finding
the Fountain of Youth, Jack and Barbosa’s paths meet, and they work together to get the one thing they both want. Captain Barbosa wants to kill Blackbeard for revenge of sinking the Black Pearl. Captain Jack Sparrow wants the Fountain of Youth and to save Angelica. First they meet in an abandoned ship, they work together to find the silver challises, when they find the box there are two rocks, they blame the Spanish. So Sparrow and Barbosa go to the Spanish camp and steal the challises and get caught on the way. The movie ends very well, Jack Sparrow is very smart and he has plan for everything he does, so keep an eye out. To people who think the preview looked good, but didn’t want to go see it because they didn’t see the third one, or any at all; it is defiantly worth your time. I didn’t see the second or third movie, so I was a little disappointed not seeing Will Turner, Orlando Bloom, or Elizabeth Swan, Keira Knightley, but Penelope Cruz is a sexy pirate and a good edition to the crew. I didn’t feel out of the loop or that I was missing key information. Johnny Depp was still gorgeous and he’s still the greatest pirate I have ever seen. Barbosa was like a different person during this movie, he was still the mean pirate we met before but he was more willing to work with Jack so he could get back at Blackbeard. The movie is bit overdone with long sword fight scenes; some of the fight scenes could have been cut short. They could have also given us more background information on Angelica and Jack but I loved how they ended the movie between them. I really want to go see the other movies now because this one really outdid the first one and I really enjoyed that one.

Summer travels: a quick trip to the other side of the world By Jessica Zombek Editor in Chief
Design by: Joshua Laska Photos by: Jessica Zombek
This summer I had the experience of a lifetime. My boyfriend, Alex Halftery 22, senior at Washington and Jefferson College in Washington, Pa, studied abroad at Flinder’s University in Adelaide, South Australia for Spring 2011 term. After my classes ended in May, I got on a 15 hour flight to Australia to visit him and to experience the best cultural experience of my lifetime. It was winter in Australia when I arrived, but the temperature was in the low 60s and sometimes low 70s. Alex thought it was “cold” and because I left right after it rained in Pennsylvania for almost an entire month, my body was acclimated to the temperatures, so it was easy for me to walk outside with just a t-shirt on and be comfortable. There were many things that were similar to the United States. The food was very similar to our food, except there was no ketchup. They had a similar substance to ketchup, but it was more like tomato sauce. My favorite was instead of deer crossing signs, there were kangaroo crossing signs. They also eat kangaroos! Here are some of my favorite pictures from my time spent in “the land of OZ.”
Alex Halfterty, 22, feeding a brown kangaroo at Cleland Wildlife Park in Adelaide South Australia.
Adelaide is home to a beautiful botanic garden. This is the entrance to the garden which is located in the middle of the city. The botanical garden is home to many exotic plants, trees, and animals.
Above is two brown kangaroos. Kangaroos are very affectionate towards each other. At Cleland wildlife park, kangaroos were available to pet and feed.

My favorite photos from journeying to Adelaide, South Australia
Above is a photo of the coast of Glenelg beach. Instead of palm trees, pine trees lined the shore of the beach. The sand in Australia was extra white and very grainy. The grains were much smaller than the grains of sand you find on the beaches in the United States.
Australia is expensive to fly to, but once in the country it is easy to find a cheap flight to places like Sydney and Cairns.
Above: Alex and I sitting on the fountain that sits in the middle of the city of Adelaide. It was just a short bus ride from his school to the city, where there were many shops, restaurants and pubs to visit.

Vulcans suffer defeat at Adamson By Erin Bertolini For the Cal Times
The first game of the season proved to be disappointing for the California University of Pennsylvania Vulcans and all supporters of the team at Adamson Stadium. Playing against nationally ranked St. Cloud State (Minnesota), the Vulcans lost their first opener in ten seasons (26-3). The Vulcans returned fourteen starters from last year, including eight starters (seven being seniors) on defense. Cal U was the top-ranked defense in PSAC in almost every category and ranked among the top 10 in the country. On offense, the Vulcans return five starters with an All-PSAC West First Team selection at running back, wide receiver, and tight end. Despite these impressive and intimidating statistics, the Vulcans failed to pull out a win. St. Cloud State recovered a fumble in the first quarter, taking control of the game by seizing a 6-0 lead in the first quarter. The first three-yard touchdown was scored by Husky quarterback, sophomore Phillip Klaphake, who also assisted running back Damon Treat in a

14-yeard touchdown late in the second quarter. On the next St. Cloud State possession, Vulcan Thomas Mulabah (senior defensive lineman) intercepted the ball, and ran it back to the Husky’s 21-yard line. The ball was then moved close the end zone (5 –yard line), but they were unsuccessful in

Men’s soccer team wins two games over the past weekend By Noah Gruskin For the Cal TImes
The Vulcan’s won their first game of the 2011 season this past Thursday at AldersonBroaddus, 1-0. After last week’s victory, Cal U has secured their fourth consecutive season opener against Alderson-Broaddus’ Battlers. In the 79th minute, sophomore Ryan Slaby scored the game-winning goal assisted by junior Paul Silvestrone. Redshirt senior Charlie Dagnal adeptly defended the goal for all 90 minutes saving both of AldersonBroaddus’ 2 (out of 8) shots on target in his first career shut-out. The Vulcans finished the game with a total of 10 shots at goal over Alderson-Broaddus’ 8. Redshirt senior Charlie Dagnal defended the goal in his second consecutive and second
career shutout Saturday, September 3rd against Chestnut hill in the Vulcan’s first match of the West Chester Tournament. Dagnal defended against 6 shots from the Griffins while the opposition’s goalkeeper had to deal with an impressive 20 shots on goal from the Vulcans. The Vulcans poured the pressure on Chestnut Hill with 5 shots each half. After neither team scored within 90 minutes of regulation time, the Vulcans took on the Griffins in two periods of over time. The teams went on to compete in another scoreless 110 minutes with Cal U tallying up another 10 goals. The game concluded with Chestnut Hill senior Gavin Reid scoring in a penalty kick shootout granting the Griffins an advantage in the tournament standings. The Vulcan’s secured yet another victory against Lin-
coln Sunday September 4th in a 9 goal shutout. Goalkeepers Charlie Dagnal (redshirt senior) and Shane Donovan (freshman) reeled in Cal U’s third consecutive shut-out this season making it the second year in a row in which the Vulcan’s have opened their season with 3 shut-outs. The Vulcan’s started the game with an advantage of 2 players over Lincoln having only started 9 men. Said advantage was prevalent within the first 2 minutes of the game when the Vulcans took the lead after senior Edin Sabic scored the game’s first goal unassisted at 1:26 of play time. Cal U quickly solidified their lead when freshman Brad Colvin scored his first career goal in the 4th minute with an assist from senior Brady Sanders. Sanders then scored a goal of his own at 9:33 assisted by freshman Djamel Boudhar. With the Vulcan’s in the lead
with naught to 3, junior Chris Moehler strengthened the lead with yet another goal with an assist from redshirt freshman Kevin Helbig in the 12th minute.
