Cal U Freshmen Welcomed at Fall 2016 Move-In Day

By Rachael MCKRIGER, EDITOR IN CHIEF

I remember being in the shoes of Spencer Holmes.

Holmes is a freshman at California University of PA this year, as he is venturing to study environmental biology. He stood nervous outside Smith Hall, waiting for his parents to finish parking the car so they could come and assist him for the next journey of his life.

Holmes is now a resident of Smith Hall. It’s a whole new adventure for the young man, and for many other freshman who are moving away from home and into a dorm room with a complete stranger. However, Holmes had a positive outlook on the whole experience.

“I’m pretty excited for it all,” Holmes said. “I’ve been waiting to move in to Cal U for the whole summer. I’m just ready to meet new people and make new friends.”

Most freshmen don’t have the positive outlook that Holmes has. However, It’s OK to be nervous.

I remember not wanting to leave my dorm room for the orientation weekend activities. However, I soon realized that I would be getting nowhere with this new adventure by just sitting in my dorm room and watching Netflix while my roommate was down at the Convocation Center making new friends.

I buckled down and I went down. I met some of the greatest people that I’ll ever know.

No new student at Cal U would be here if they all didn’t have the sense of adventure. That’s what college really is, just one big adventure. Meeting new people, making new friends, joining new clubs, and trying things you never thought you’d try is all about the college experience.

I’ll be honest, though. The college experience, while it’s great the majority of the time, isn’t quite always sunshine and roses. There’s going to be times where you’re extremely homesick. I only live about an hour away from Cal U, in Aliquippa, but the homesickness got to me a lot.

There’s going to be times where you and your roommate disagree and have a fight or two. That’s OK, but make the effort to patch things up. I’ve had my share of roommate problems, and I would never wish what I went through in that aspect on anyone else.

But aside from the times you’re going to want to call mom or dad and beg them to drive the six hours to pick you up and take you home for a weekend, college is worth it. There are so many good things to come out of this new adventure.

Riverfest kicks off Orientation Weekend

BY JESS CROSSON, ENTERTAINMENT EDITOR

The weather was hot and the event was new but that didn’t stop both the students of California University of Pennsylvania and the members of the California borough from coming out and enjoying the Riverfest festival.

Riverfest, usually only ran by the California borough, was in full swing this past weekend. The borough teamed up with various faculty members at Cal U to make this years festival even bigger and better than previous years. Student Activities Board’s advisor, Missy Dunn, was one of the faculty members who worked very closely with the borough of California to make sure the dates of Riverfest overlapped with the dates of Cal U’s orientation weekend. By doing this Dunn hoped it would be a start in bridging the gap between the community and the college.

The festival consisted of various craft stands, food vendors, a kid zone and live music. Tim Litvin, The Hobbs Sisters, and Chris Jamison performed at various times on Saturday giving all of those in attendance a variety of music to enjoy. All of these artists, brought to Riverfest by the Student Activities Board, were from around the surrounding counties giving a stronger sense of community to the festival.

Litvin was a student at Cal U for a year before deciding he was going to pursue his music career and was more than happy to be performing for some familiar faces again.

Hailing from Peters Township, The Hobbs Sisters, seemed to be a crowd favorite when they started performing not only some original songs but also covers from well known artists such as Carrie Underwood, The Eagles and Maren Morris.

Although all the acts provided the audiences with wonderful shows, the star of Saturday was Chris Jamison, who capped off the night with a high energy performance that made students line up as close to the stage as they could get.

When asked about why she came to Riverfest sophomore, Brianne Burton, explained “I only came for Chris Jamison.”

Jamison finished in third place on season 7 of The Voice leaving many fans wondering how he didn’t win the entire competition. Once Jamison completed his set the members of the Student Activites Board and Underground Cafe announced that Jesse McCartney will be performing at Cal U on October 6 and that it would be free to both Cal U students and the community. More information on tickets and the event itself are in the works.

Sunday brought even more fun during the day with the same vendors but different bands. Soulio was ready to perform, however, due to a wicked storm that turned the sunny California day into a night, the band was not able to perform.

The fireworks that were scheduled to go off at the end of Riverfest were postponed to a different night that has not yet been announced. Despite the storm, the weekend created many bonds between the community and Cal U that will hopefully result in more positive things occurring throughout the year.

What the Presidential Candidates Mean for your Tuition Bill

BY ZACH FILTZ, Cal Times Staff Writer

College students everywhere feel the bite of the cost of not only paying for school, but also managing income. Regarding the 2016 election for the next commander in chief, students get to choose between some famous names both inside and outside of politics for Election Day. Because of this, the views held by the two parties have not been more vastly different in recent memory. I have done my homework and dug into the details of what our Democratic and Republican nominees express, so all of the Cal Times readers make a more informed decision. Plus, you really do get to have an impact for Election Day. This may be in the “opinion” section, but this really is news. Dig in to see how our candidates effect college students this campaign season.

Democratic Party Nominee: Hillary Clinton Private: Former attorney and partner for Rose Law Firm, Clinton Foundation member, and previously held place in the Walmart, Inc. Board of Directors.

Public office: Former First Lady of Arkansas, First Lady of the U.S., United States Senator (New York), and most recently Secretary of State.

Education: Wellesley College (B.A.), Yale Law School (J.D.—Mari, I originally put ‘law degree’ because some students honestly do not know what a “J.D.” is. Even some seniors don’t know what a J.D. is in contrast to any other college degree.)

Tagline: “Fighting for Us.” Hillary Clinton’s New College Compact aims to assist in eliminating tuition for four-year public colleges and universities, similar position to fellow candidate Bernie Sanders.

State governments would need to increase funding to colleges and work with them to cut costs.

In other words, some governors have cut funds to higher education in order to prevent further government spending, Pennsylvania included.

Pennsylvania factors into that equation with former Gov. Tom Corbett (a conservative Republican who served from 2011-15).

Clinton’s news release did not detail how individual state governments would adopt these ideas into their own state systems or how Clinton would/

could work with Republican-controlled state governments.

In terms of demographics, the compact will place a focus on grants for low-and middle-income students.

Stephanie Formas, one of Clinton’s communication volunteers, was not immediately able to clarify more details on “low-and-middle income students.”

The campaign also aims to implement a type of income-based payment for student loan; the purpose of this being to assist in helping students pay back loans.

According to the news release on the New College Compact, the campaign also aims to extend the American Opportunity Tax Credit, ensuring that middle-class families avoid a tax increase of up to $2,500 per year. Hillary Clinton›s plan will attempt to extend the American Opportunity Tax Credit.

As for the cost of this College Compact, the plan costs around $350 billion over the course of 10 years. It will be fully paid for by closing tax loopholes for the most fortunate.

Clinton campaign volunteer Stephanie Formas did not clarify on who the “most fortunate” are in the preceding paragraph.

More than half of the total will be in grants to public, four-year colleges and universities; an example being California University of Pennsylvania.

These grants will seek to ensure students do not need excessive loans for tuition and will also help reduce the costs at four-year public colleges.

Additional highlights of the Clinton campaign will provide free tuition at community colleges and support private colleges as well.

Republican Party Nominee: Donald Trump Private: Elizabeth Trump and Son Co. real estate developer, chairman and president, The Trump Organization, former host of NBC’s “The Apprentice.”

Chairman of several other businesses.

Public office: None.

Education: Fordham University; University of Pennsylvania, Wharton School of Business (B.S.) Tagline: “Make America Great Again!”

After clicking the “Issues” tab on Trumps’ campaign website, Trump says in a video clip: “It is

a disaster that Washington wants to regulate your child’s education.” The only solution Trump provided to this was: “It also has to be managed from a local standpoint, a locally controlled education.” He also believes that “third world countries are ahead of us, despite all the money we spend on it. It’s a disaster. We are 28th in education in the world,” he said.

In the video, Trump did not cite the “third world countries” quip on which he spoke. There are no other connections to the “28th in education” figure.

A Trump spokesperson could not be reached directly by this publication regarding his specific views on education, or the “28th” number in the above paragraph.

Even though his campaign was not available for commenting, “Slate” magazine quoted a July 2016 source on a Trump campaign executive’s deeper education attitudes.

“Proposals currently being prepared would upend the current system of student loans, force all colleges to share the risk of such loans,” according to source Sam Clovis of the Slate article, a co-chair of the Trump campaign’s policy center, which means he comes up with ideas about stances on issues for Trump’s campaign.

In other words, while Trump’s policy co-chair is not able to provide any educational details, Clovis is in the works to define Trump as a “new” Republican in America on some policies which Trump has struggled on holding onto a policy, such as healthcare and education.

If the new positions on education will be as Clovis said they are in July, this will allegedly push Trump’s ideas and make them appeal to other people, rather than his existing audience. In other words, Clovis suggests that colleges should be affected by the student loan process. According to the “Slate” article, he says that colleges “should be impacted” if a student misses his or her loan payment after graduating.

However, Clovis never elaborated what this “impact” means.

For Trump’s audience, this could allow a chance for students to obtain education without increasing national government spending, such as his Democratic rival’s agenda aims to do.

How to Take Advantage of your Freshman Year

By Angel Funk, Cal Times Contributor

It’s the Friday before classes are officially back and new students have flooded the campus. Frantic with their parents, they carry heavy belongings into the rooms they’ll be living in for the next two semesters. For some, it’s the first time they’ll ever meet their roommates and make their first friends.

New student orientation leaders have been training all week to help navigate the flock of students coming to campus. Staff like Kevin Eggleston and Jenifer Sigado have been preparing for months for the arrival of these students.

As I stand on the sidewalk after a long day at work a group of new students passes. Their conversation involves how big the rooms in the residence halls are and asking each other how to connect the internet. I realize how quickly these moments pass us by and how we forget to appreciate the little things.

Whenever I was a freshman I didn’t appreciate the value of this weekend. We get to experience the campus for the first time, meet people, and for most students get your first taste of freedom. Whether it was events like Playfair or going through the information sessions I realized that I took it for granted.

It doesn’t seem significant whenever it’s happening but the first weekend you get here marks the start of your college career. Before the late night study sessions and papers that need to be written, you are introduced to your peers. Some new students meet their best friends, some students make their first friends. As I watched them speak, talk and work together throughout the weekend I couldn’t help but feel the nostalgia.

That weekend was whenever I met some of my truest friends with whom I could have ever hoped for, and from speaking with other students I know

it was the same experience for them. From upperclassmen to my new fellow peers, the classes are starting and for you so is a new chapter. This chapter holds friendships, internships, good grades, bad grades, Spuds, deadlines, and a new found responsibility.

Your classes will not be easy and cannot be ignored. However, do not let these years be solely filled with books. Go out and take on our campus with all of its clubs, organizations, and activities.

Leave for class a half an hour early and explore the campus, get lost, ask for directions. Get a new experience, learn something out of your comfort zone, and most importantly treasure your time here. College is one of the most unique experiences you’ll ever have. With your only responsibility is to learn why not try?

Solo Faces Unfair Punishment, Lochte Gets Off Easy By rachael mckriger, Editor in chief

Team USA had the most dramatic, and controversial, Olympics out of any team this year in Rio. During the Rio Olympics, controversy ensued the most when Ryan Lochte lied about being robbed at gunpoint and Hope Solo called the Swedish National Women’s Soccer Team “cowards.”

Both acts were selfish, on Solo and Lochte’s part. Both actions had something in common: they helped ruin the integrity on which the Olympics was founded on. The Olympic integrity is honoring your opponent and competition fairly before, during, and after the whistle. It is also about honoring the country in which you’re facing the other best athletes in the word.

Both competitors heard the backlash from fans, but when it came to their respective athletic federations, it was much different. While Ryan Lochte received no ban from USA Swimming, Solo received a six-month ban for her actions. In addition, her contract with U.S. Soccer also terminated her contract. However, Solo is still allowed to play for her National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) club, the Seattle Reign.

Her teammates have not condoned what Solo said, but said the opposite. Midfielder Megan Rapinoe said she was “disappointed” in Solo for her actions a day after the USWNT’s Olympic loss to Sweden in penalty kicks, which prevented the USWNT from going to the semifinals. It was the first time ever that the team did not make the semifinals in a major tournament.

“Let’s inspire, let’s be badass, let’s be fierce, let’s be competitive,” Rapinoe said. “But we’re gracious and we’re humble, and we play the game a certain way, whether we win or lose. And we’ve been on the winning side quite a bit, and when we find ourselves on the other side, we need to handle that graciously, and unfortunately that wasn’t the case.”

Fellow teammate Alex Morgan opened up about Solo’s ban, calling it a “bummer,” but saying she disagreed with Solo’s comments. Meanwhile, none of Lochte’s USA Swimming teammates have commented on the swimmer’s actions.

The only “ban” that Lochte received was his endorsements from Speedo, Ralph Lauren, Gentle Laser Hair Removal, and Airweave have been cancelled. Meanwhile, Lochte signed a new endorsement deal with Pine Bros. throat lozenges, a cough drop company, as the company wanted to give Lochte “a second chance.”

Photo: WikiCommons

If we’re comparing the two actions, Lochte’s is much worse. Lying to authorities, no matter which country it is, is a crime by law. He was even charged by Rio de Janiero authorities on August 26 for filing a false robbery report.

According to USA Today Sports, Lochte “will be informed of the charges in the United States and can then decide whether to introduce a defense in Brazil.”

While it wasn’t right for Solo to call Sweden cowards, it isn’t a crime by law and she won’t ever be charged by Rio police for name-calling.

Solo certainly does deserve punishment, as this isn’t her first time causing havoc for the USWNT, but six months is a bit much. Solo won’t be able to compete for the USWNT until February 2017.

In a letter given to Solo, that was leaked online, U.S. Soccer thanked Solo “for her service to the team.” With wording like that, it seems that this might be the end for Solo’s impeccable career with the USWNT, that included her reaching 100 career international shutouts this year, which

made her the first goalkeeper ever- male or female- to reach the century mark.

Meanwhile for Lochte, USA Swimming officials have not commented on his stance with the team. Lochte has mentioned that he wants to swim in the Tokyo Olympics, which will occur in 2020 when Lochte will be 36 years old. If Solo does not return to the USWNT after her sixmonth ban, then Lochte should not be able to get in a pool with USA Swimming again.

The more stern punishment went to the wrong person, so Lochte better make good with his second chance while Solo’s road with the national team might be over.

It seems that Lochte’s second chance is going to be coming soon, as the swimmer is going to be featured on the upcoming season of Dancing With The Stars.

While Lochte dances, Solo will sulk.

2016 Fall Sports Preview

By Daniel Beeck, Sports Editor

With fall sports beginning this upcoming week, Vulcan fans can start marking their calendars for key games. Whether the teams have fresh faces, or even new coaches, the athletes sporting the university’s letters are looking forward to getting out on their respective playing fields to open their seasons.

Football As aforementioned, a new coach for the Vulcan Football team, Gary Dunn, will be calling the plays this season. Coming off of an impressive 8-3 record last season, Coach Dunn is hoping to improve their record, and even make a run for the PSAC West title. With a handful of seniors leaving last year, the relatively young Vulcan team is only going to get better as time passes. A strong running back core, along with wide receivers who have talent to match, California will hope to exceed last years total of 33 points per game.

Coach Dunn’s play style differs from previous coach, Mike Kellar, focusing more on a balanced offense that can run the ball, but also have explosive pass plays to exploit the defense. Finishing with the top-ranked offense in the Northeast Conference (NEC), and also leading his team to the program’s first appearance in the FCS playoffs, the Vulcans fans are anticipating what the season holds for this team.

Key additions for the Vulcans this season include, freshman defensive back from Laurel Highlands, Jimmy Pierce, who made a splash in high school last season, leading the Mustangs to their first winning regular season in 20 years. Pierce was a quarterback for the Mustangs but is listed as a DB for the Vulcans.

One other addition to the Vulcans this season is the freshman tight end Nathaniel Scott from Ambridge (Pa.). The addition of Scott will aid in the passing game, providing a 6 foot-2 inch target for the quarterback to throw to. Scott will also be a key blocker on the outside, allowing the running backs to bounce the play outside the hash marks.

Men’s Soccer

Women’s Soccer

The Vulcan Men’s Soccer team is hoping to improve on a 9-7-1 record from last season, with a conference title in their forefront.

Finishing third in the PSAC last season and averaging just under two goals a game, the Vulcans are hoping to stump their competition and make some moves in the standings with offensive production.

With an average of 16 goals scored in the first half of play, the Vulcans score fast and score early. Hoping to keep that trend alive is freshman midfielder Cooper Amos from West Allegheny. Amos led his team to a 7-10 record last season and with the scoring ability of the Vulcans midfielders, Amos will be a great addition.

After falling just one point shy of qualifying for the PSAC Tournament, the Women’s Soccer team is out for revenge this season, trying to improve on their 9-6-3 record just this past year. Being that seven seniors graduated last fall/spring, the team with just 4 seniors is hoping to better every stat, being that they scored just 20 goals last season.

Out of the three freshmen that joined the team this year, Luisa Holzapfel, a midfielder from Columbia will hope to continue the winning ways of the Vulcans. Joining Holzapfel, Danielle Kearns will resume her ways of contributing to the team, coming off of a season in which she had one goal, three assists, and five points. Women’s soccer starts their season off against a conference foe, Shippensburg, on September 1.

2016 Fall Sports Preview (Cont.)

Volleyball A talented group of athletes is looking forward to stepping back onto the court this fall, as the Vulcan Volleyball looks to get back to the winning side of the score column. A record of 16-17 this past season doesn’t do this team justice, being that only three seniors helped to adjust the young talent into the college game. Now that this team has one year together under their belt, look out for the Vulcans as they try to shake up the PSAC. Key components of this team are Taylor Solo and Megan Litoborski but don’t count out Seairra Barrett, who doubles as a National Champion for California in basketball. Barrett ranked second on the team last season with 70 blocks, as well as 1.83 kills per set. With many accolades to her name, she is used to the pressure and arises when needed. The Vulcans will look to her experience this season as well as other seniors, Danielle Hayes, and Litoborski.

Freshmen that will also be able to see their first sets this season are, Rachiel Priore and Samantha Raidt, who have experienced individuals in front of them to adapt into the fast-paced style of play that the college game possesses.

Men’s & Women’s Cross Country The Men’s Cross Country team will continue to top their dominant times this season, as Morgan Huegel, who registered the “second-fastest time in the PSAC 800-meter run during both the indoor and outdoor seasons” looks to continue his pace and set more records.

As a team, the Vulcans have a strong group of individuals that look to compete with the best teams in the PSAC throughout every event. With two true freshmen added to the roster this season, the experience and skill that this team has , they will make their mark at each meet.

With the women’s cross country team beginning their season at the same time, everyone will be running around campus, practicing and getting their legs ready for

the season. With Alex Zanella formally announced as a nominee for the 2016 NCAA Woman of the Year award in late July, there are role models on this team and fierce competitors as well. Look for the Vulcans to accomplish great feats this season, as they start their season on September 3 at Roadman Park.

Men’s & Women’s Golf The Men’s Golf team gets back out on the links this year led by three-time starter Kirby Manown who averaged just under a 75 each round he played. From his sophomore year to his junior year, he shaved about three strokes off his game and is only getting better. Being that the roster has not changed since last year, the team knows how to work together and how to put each other in the best spot to succeed.

The Women’s Golf team is also starting to get perfect their swing, as the season starts

for them on the September 5. One freshmen added into the mix for the 2016 season will have great teachers, as a majority of the returning athletes are either seniors or juniors.

Carla Maestre is the leader of the Vulcans, with team lows in eight of the 11 tournaments this past season.
