The ‘Red Zone’:

Not just a football term

Kate Hibbard Managing Editor khibbard@lhup.edu It’s that time of year again – sexual assault season.

Otherwise known as the Red Zone, the period between the start of a college year up until Thanksgiving break tends to have the highest rates of sexual assault on college campuses, according to studies by the Journal of American College Health, the Department of Justice and others.

The risks of sexual assault during the Red Zone are so high for a multitude of reasons. · Students use this time to try to meet new people and participate in · There is less parental supervision and control, leading to increased independence and, ultimately, experimenting with new things. · Students may be in a new environment.

From 2011 to 2013, LHU’s main campus had 14 reported forcible sexual offences – that’s 14 cases of rape, sodomy or sexual assault. Assaults happen year-round and not every case gets reported.

That is why it’s so important for students to become educated on how to stay safe as well as protect others. · Learn about legal consent. If you are making unwelcomed or unreciprocated advances, stop. · Realize that we are humans – regardless of clothing, alcohol/drug consumption or actions. Humans are not to be made into objects. Humans do not simply exist for the pleasure of others. · Do not be a bystander. If you see or hear someone in distress, call for help. If a friend is putting him/ herself into a dangerous situation, talk to him/her about it. · Remember the buddy system.

If you have any questions about sexual assault or if you or someone you know has suffered an assault,

please contact a professional who can help. Sexual assault continues to happen because people are afraid to talk about it.

Students should also familiarize themselves with public safety’s Sexual Assault Response Guarantee, which can be found at http://www. lhup.edu/students/campus_safety/ sexual_assualt_response.html.

A run to remember Heather Treaster Online Editor hlt5557

Thousands celebrated health, happiness and individuality last weekend at The Color Run on Penn State’s campus Sunday morning. Starting at nine am, waves of participants entered the course every 15 minutes. Runners and walkers were both doused with colored corn starch every kilometer throughout the 5k.

By the end, yellow, purple, pink, and blue coated the athletes, volunteers and the landscape. As each participant were given their own packet of color. Some chose to keep the color packet as a souvenir, but to throw their pigments in the air all at once.

The ‘race’ was not even slightly competitive. Sure, there were some who wanted to run, but for the most part everyone was there for the experience. Elderly women with walkers and new moms with strollers were both seen on the course, proving the event can be for literally anyone. As The Color Run’s website states, “Less about your 10 minute mile and more about

having the time of your life!”

most everyone walked through trying to get the most color possible, while still trying to keep it moving for those behind or on the course, blue, the color runners were partying in it.

Some were picking it up off the ground and throwing it at their teammates, others were making ‘color angels’ in the dust.

People were dancing, taking photos and celebrating their accomplishment. The after-party included music, more dancing, and plenty more color.

Events are being held until the end of the year all over the United States, and more locations are in the works to be added. The registration fee of $40 (or $35 if you sign up early!) includes not only your registration, but also a ‘swag bag’ containing a t-shirt (this can be worn the day of the race, but many opt to bring their own white t-shirts and keep the given shirt), temporary tattoos, and a bracelet. Check thecolorrun.com for more. Happy running!

Saturday, September 13th, Phi Sigma Pi Honor Fraternity hosted a Minion Color run to Haven.

Poet speaks on campus for Hispanic Heritage Month Diosanny Rivera-Placido Guest Writer dkr6862@lhup.edu On Tuesday September 16, the Latino Student Association (LSA) invited poet Joaquin Zihuatanejo to speak on campus as a representation of Hispanic Heritage Month.

When asked why they chose Zihuatanejo to perform, the LSA responded saying that they “wanted something different for Hispanic Heritage Month and that they enjoyed his passion when they watched one of his performances on HBO.” They stated that Zihuatanejo’s story was “a prime example of what minorities deal with on a daily basis.”

Zihuatanejo was raised by his grandfather due to his mother’s inability and his father’s refusal to do so. Being raised by his grandfather impacted him so much that Zihuatanejo invokes his grandfather’s spirit before each performance through a call to his muse.

His grandfather forced him to read every night and taught him valuable

life lessons that Zihuatanejo still carries with him to this day. For example, if you are a Spanish speaking individual living in the United States you have probably heard the phrase “this is America, speak English” at least once in your lifetime.

The idea that one must only speak English in the United States, despite the US being a melting pot of cultures and not having an established national language, seems to be a popular one amongst racists. They seem to think that American English is the superior language. However, poet Joaquin Zihuatanejo, who performed in Ulmer on Tuesday September 16th, demonstrated through a spoken word poem how English is in fact a melting pot of other languages that somehow mesh together in order to create this “superior language.”

He peacefully dedicated that particular piece to a man who loudly commented on Zihuatanejo’s use of his native tongue as he tied his daughter’s shoe when most would have lashed out in anger.

Zihuatanejo’s grandfather taught him to never react with hatred and to accept and love others despite their faults. He tries to embody the essence of his grandfather in everything that he does and says. Zihuatanejo’s grandfather is present throughout a large portion of his poetry, as are his grandmother and parents.

Zihuatanejo talked about the importance of family and the connection between a parent and child, especially head in the child’s life. The power of his words and the emotion that rippled through the audience was almost tangible as he spoke about apples falling far from trees and crooked trunks that are sawed in half. Zihuatanejo’s words were some that everyone could relate to, not just Hispanics.

National Hispanic Heritage Month lasts until October 15th, but that doesn’t mean that one should forget about the struggles minorities have faced and continue to face to this day. The LSA hopes to host another event featuring Brazilian dancers before the end of National Hispanic Heritage month.

Students educate other students politically in annual Constitution Day event Kyra Smith-Cullen Editor-In-Chief ksmithcu@lhup.edu LHU hosted its third annual Constitution day, which allowed students from two Political Science classes to create posters relating how the constitution worked in their everyday lives.

The posters, created by the Public Administrations class and Political Parties and Elections class, featured topics like the role of the ATF (Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms), the election of the Vice President and others.

“The students’ only requirement is that their topics have to be able to relate back to the Constitution,” said Stanley Berard, a political science professor. “In the past, we’ve had posters that discussed NSA and whistleblowers.”

Berard intends to continue holding the event in the future.

“It’s important that students know how the constitution relates to them,” said Berard.

Guardians of the Galaxy is still rockin’ Samantha Shirk Staff Writer sxs1090@lhup.edu It’s been about a month and a half since Guardians of the Galaxy came out but there’s a lot of reasons why you should still love this movie.

Reason 1 is the cast. The cast of this movie are a lovable bunch who seem to click so well with each other. From the beginning when they hated each other until the end when they loved each other, they make a crazy adventure which was completely worth it. Plus the jokes never stop coming the entire movie. You know a movie’s good when your sides feel like they’re splitting from so much laughter!

Reason 2 is the story. Along with an interesting cast is a very involved and well written story. Written by James Gunn and Nicole Perlman, we’re introduced to Peter Quill, a human taken from Earth at a young age. The movie pulls at your heartstrings in the beginning but it makes up for it in the rest of the movie. A bunch of extraterrestrial criminals chasing after an even BIGGER extraterrestrial criminal intent on destroying the galaxy? Yes, please! Seems to me

does not lack in special effects. That one scene with the planes and the nets? So cool! There are scenes in this movie it’s hard to keep track.

Especially since Peter Quill seemed to waiting for him right

has got to be one of the best characters out there, in fact he makes certain parts of the movies even better. Groot is such a deep character when you stop and think about it and he only says one phrase “I am Groot.” It never gets old! Besides, how can you not love a talking tree. Talking trees have been around forever and this one can help Reason 5 is how it ties into the rest of the Marvel Universe. Marvel is amazing at making you want to wait until after the credits to leave and Guardians of the Galaxy is no different. Like the others there’s something at the end and there seems to be a say Avengers 2? If you have no interest in the movie itself you at least have to go for the subtle hints, you wouldn’t want to miss anything, would you?

Guardians of the Galaxy is not out on DVD

Yik Yak Talking Smack

Cierra Cook Lifestyles Editor cdc8693@lhup.edu

Just when you think that there was an app for everything, there’s a new one out. There are already social media sites out there that are popular, like Facebook and Twitter, but this popular app is kicking it up a notch.

Yik Yak is an app that is an anonymous messaging board. According to techcrunch.com, the app gained over 100,000 users just three months after its launch in November 2013. The app has categories for campuses all over the country.

The app is a forum for people to say whatever they want, because everything is anonymous. These Yaks, as they are called, are then sent out by GPS tracking to the closest 500 people near your location. Many students like this type of forum.

“It is a way to let a thought out there without putting a face to it so you have no predetermined judgement on a person for what they said,” said Zachary Hartman, a freshman communication major.

Although this app is a soundboard for students to say what they want, it has also stirred up controversy on some campuses and even in some high schools. Two boys in the Philadelphia area were charged with felonies for posting school shooting threats on Yik Yak, according to philly.com.

Yik Yak itself is trying to crack down on this type of bullying with posting get other yakers.” The site also has a three-time report policy. This states that

if your Yak is reported three times, it will be deleted.

Schools are still having issues with the site and parents and even some psychiatrists are worried about the site becoming a hazard and a bomb for cyberbullying. Psychiatrist Keith Ablow stated in a May 9 interview for Fox News: “Untruthful, mean, character assigning short messages are immediately Yik Yak is becoming popular on campus and students like Hartman think that this app is fun because of its anonymity, but some students think that the app will be abused.

“I think this will become like LHU Crushes because people will abuse it until it gets shut down,” said Nathan Henderson, a senior communication major.

Rape culture unleashed Quanya Myers Staff Writer qmyers@lhup.edu These days I am perpetually disappointed in Lock Haven University. This sorry excuse for an institution has failed me yet again. On top of all of the budget cuts, the tuition increase, the lack of student involvement in major changes that directly affects us, not to mention our wallets, this school has gone above and beyond to let down their students.

Here’s the latest.

I was in class browsing Tumblr and my professor was going on about whatever assignment she was going to burden us with next. I heard her mentioning a new pamphlet that the school had distributed among students and faculty. As she said it was about how to avoid rape.

At that very moment it took every outraged. How to avoid rape? You can’t be serious. Instead of going off

like my mind told me, I simply raised my hand and asked to take a look.

As I read that trash, I was thoroughly disgusted. I shared the blasphemous pamphlet with my good friend and classmate Kayla Marsh. Her face illustrated utter repugnance.

She instantly burst out, “Dr. Stringer, they’re giving this to students?”

Dr. Stringer, taken aback replied, “Yes.” And this is the issue. LHU decided it was a great idea to pass out rape prevention pamphlets, effectively deciding it was a great idea to perpetuate rape culture.

Listen, I understand that the school’s president is a heterosexual

white male, therefore he was born with a cheat code in life and it’s much easier for him to avoid the dangers of rape. But this decision is preposterous. The nerve, the audacity, the unmitigated gall of him to approve and allow such deleterious correspondence to be delivered to young females!

Why are we teaching women rape you prevention and not don’tIf understand my anger teaching men not to and frustration I need for y’all to rape?

pick up a book or just search #RapeCulture on Twitter or Tumblr and educate yourselves. Rape culture is nothing short of victim blaming. It’s telling girls and women to be careful about what they wear, where they socialize, what they drink, their surroundings and to never let their guards down unless they, unless we want to get sexually

assaulted. Rape culture says that otherwise, women are asking for it. It’s I have no clue why this still has to be said but get your pens and paper and take notes. If a woman does not verbally, clearly and explicitly say yes to sex then she is not consenting to sex. Period.

I can walk around New York City topless or around State College wearing next to no clothing or lay out on the dike with my legs spread and none of that translates into me asking for it. I can do whatever I want, dress however I want and go wherever with whomever I please without it meaning I want strange men forcibly invading my privacy in the most barbaric of ways.

Dear Lock Haven University, why are we teaching women rape prevention and not teaching men not to stick their members where they aren’t welcome? Start holding your male students accountable instead of perpetuating rape culture.

NCAA: Football over justice Vicky Kramer Staff Writer vak1553@lhup.edu

Recently, big news arrived on the campus known as Happy Valley leading students and fans alike to crowd the streets and celebrate. The NCAA tions for the Penn State football program, given to them due to the Jerry Sandusky child abuse scandal. These sanctions included eliminating the postseason ban and reinstating scholarships.

For Penn State football fans, this is exciting news. But is this really as good as it sounds?

I will freely admit that I am not a Penn State fan, nor a football fan. Therefore, I cannot sit here and tell you that I know much of anything about football because that would be entirely inaccurate (I had to look up what the sanctions actually meant—this girl needs accurate info!)

On the other hand, something I know well is

that continuing to employ a child molester is a problem. I also believe in holding people accountable for their actions, something the NCAA neglected to do. Penn State knowingly kept Jerry Sandusky on staff. They harbored a child molester and enabled him to destroy more lives. Even though Jerry Sandusky will likely die in prison, he’s not the only guilty party involved.

A comment I often hear when this topic arises is “the football players did nothing wrong, they are subjected to this mess and have to deal with other peoples mistakes.” Essentially these people are saying the football players are the victims. Once a comment similar to that is made, my blood begins to boil. No, they are not victims. The real victims are the ones NCAA is forgetting about—the innocent children who Sandusky abused.

For the football players, consider this: Did this scandal affect their future relationships? Did it affect their self-esteem or did it affect their ability to trust people? In my opinion, the real victims are

the ones who feel just that. Those children didn’t get a chance at a normal life. There’s no reset button for them. They weren’t privileged, they weren’t asked and they surely didn’t get a chance to prevent their abuse. They are forever tarnished due to the many monsters at Penn State who allowed this to go on for far too long.

Often times our interests tend to cloud our judgments, which can result in poor decisions. I truly believe the NCAA is guilty of this by neglecting to consider how this decision will affect Sandusky’s victims. They have no remorse or support for the victims and their families who have to live with this for the rest of their lives, which is evident through their new ruling. lifted as easily as these sanctions were, our world would be a much better place to live in. It comes to show that if you have a big name, lots of money and know the right people, you’ll never be held accountable for anything. WE ARE! (One big mess!)

Hackenberg, Nittany Lions down Rutgers Jayson Moyer Co-Sports Editor jpm362@lhup.edu Giving Christian Hackenberg the ball in crunch-time, with the game on the line, is probably one of the best things that could happen to Penn State’s football team during the course of a game.

Hackenberg has illustrated numerous times over the past two seasons that he has no fear of the pressure in big-time moments, as he has led the Nittany Lions in a couple of game-tying and game-winning drives.

Saturday night was the latest edition of “The Late Show with Christian Hackenberg,” as he and the comeback kids struck again en-route to spoiling Rutgers’ Big Ten debut.

With Penn State trailing 10-6 late in the fourth quarter, Hackenberg led the Nittany Lions on a six-play, 80yard drive in 1:49, which was capped Bill Belton. Yes, “the team from Pennsylvania,” spoiled the Scarlet Knight’s party in Piscataway by winning 13-10.

“They’re gritty; they’re hardnosed,” Penn State coach James Franklin said of his team to Zach Schonbrun of the New York Times.

“They never stopped believing in themselves. They never stopped be-

lieving in Penn State.”

Hackenberg would go onto throw 309 yards, but threw no touchdowns and only one interception. Junior wide receiver, Geno Lewis had six receptions for 109 yards, and sophomore, DaeSean Hamilton caught eight passes for 103 yards. Both Lewis and Hamilton have been Hackenberg’s goto receivers so far this season. for Penn State this season, however, Penn State has been unable to get the ground game working at all this season.

Bill Belton carried the ball 15 times for just 36 yards. Zack Zwinak, who has been a 1,000 yard rusher in his career at Penn State, had just two carries for seven yards. Hackenberg was Penn State’s second-leading rusher in the game, with 12 carries for 18 yards.

One problem that may be causing Penn State’s running game to be non-existent is their offensive line. It is a very inexperienced and young offensive line, and we saw that theory proved on Saturday.

With Bill O’Brien, he would consistently give the ball to Zwinak or Belton or whomever 20-28 times any given game – and he was successful with it. But, O’Brien had a better offensive line, and now the offensive

line is depleted because of the lack of scholarships from the sanctions of the Jerry Sandusky Scandal. in all on Saturday night, and Penn State only had 64 yards rushing.

Penn State is 120th in the nation among FBS schools in rushing yards per-game, with 75.7 yards per-game.

The announced crowd of 53,774 was the largest in the 20-year history of High Point Solutions Stadium.

The game was in primetime at 8 p.m., the fans had rally towels, but none of the raucous atmosphere would rattle Penn State late in the game.

Penn State (3-0, 1-0 Big Ten) failed to crack into the top-25 for week four. However, the Nittany Lions did receive 51 votes in the AP Poll, and 26 votes in the USA Today Poll.

Not only could this game have renewed a rivalry between Penn State and Rutgers, but Penn State pulled out a hard-fought win in games now that mean something. Also, Penn State climbed out to an early-lead in the East Division of the Big Ten with the win over Rutgers.

The Nittany Lions will try to make it four wins and no losses on the season as they host the University of Massachusetts at 4 p.m. Saturday at Beaver Stadium. The game can be seen on the Big Ten Network.
