News Section National conference at Seton Hill highlights women in the Holocaust “The very same silencing that we witnessed at the highest level in the United States against Dr. Ford is happening on the college level and happened during the Holocaust,” said Elisa von Joeden-Forgey during her presentation “What We Learn from Women: Feminist Approaches to the Study of the Holocaust and Genocide.” Von Joeden-Forgey was one of the presenters who spoke from Oct. 21-23 at the 2018 Ethel LeFrak Holocaust Education Conference held at Seton Hill University. This year’s theme was “Women, the Holocaust and Genocide.” During her speech, von Joeden-Forgey discussed how in genocide studies, the experience of women has often been seen as a sideline distraction to the major events experienced by men. Von Joeden-Forgey compared this silencing of women’s struggles to her recent work with refugees in Northern Iraq and the current climate for females in college. “As a woman, I felt very privileged to have been able to attend this conference,” said Lauren Moore, a senior who attended with her Corporate Ethics & Social Responsibility class. “Listening to Dr. von Joeden-Forgey, I felt very liberated to know that there are so many women in today's society who are determined to break the silence on the crimes committed against women and that is bravery beyond belief.” Like Moore, various students accompanied their professors at the conference. Members of classes like Western Cultural Traditions I and Introduction to American History were seen in the crowds of the conference. “This conference is vital to Seton Hill and its mission to foster students’ ability to think and act critically, creatively and ethically as productive members of society committed to transforming the world,” said Jennifer Jones, associate professor of communication at SHU. According to Jones, the conference also ties in SHU’s four pillars: welcoming, learning, serving and celebrating. The pillar of celebrating was tied into the conference with the Nostra Aetate Award. “The Nostra Aetate Award acknowledges distinguished work with Christian-Jewish relations,” said Susan Yochum, provost at SHU. This year’s Nostra Aetate Award winner was Victoria Barnett. Barnett is the director of the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum’s Programs on Ethics, Religion and the Holocaust and gave a speech entitled “Women’s Interfaith Activism and Resistance: A Case Study from the Holocaust.”

“I sometimes get depressed at the state of the world, but these folks lived through Nazi Germany. What excuse do I have to be thinking like this?” Barnett said. “You bloom where you're planted.” Although the conference’s theme was “Women, the Holocaust and Genocide,” there were also many male presenters and attendees. Von Joeden-Forgey took a moment during her presentation to thank male allies at the conference like Tim Crain, the director of the National Catholic Center for Holocaust Education. “It was amazing hearing the stories of women’s strength and determination to survive and stay strong during the Holocaust,” said sophomore Frankie Montecalvo, a member of Crain’s Western Cultural Traditions I class. This year’s conference is being accompanied by an art exhibit by Carolyn Monosevitz and Robert Keffer in SHU’s Harlan Gallery that will run until Nov. 18. All students, staff and faculty are invited to visit the gallery.

Remembering Maggie Murray: SHU alum and former volleyball captain passes away in accident “There were never any bad things,” said Rick Hall, Seton Hill University volleyball head coach, describing alum Margaret Mae Murray. “She was a bright kid, nice kid, never any problems. Always wanting to help people including the kids on the team. It’s tough speaking about her in a past tense. She was just good for everybody.” Murray, 22, passed away from head injuries she sustained Sept. 29 in a boating accident off Lido Beach, on the Gulf of Mexico. The Erie, Pa. native was pronounced dead at 12:19 a.m. at Sarasota Memorial Hospital on Sept. 30. “It’s a great loss,” Hall said. “Something that’s not going to go away. I think that everyone is going to remember Maggie as someone who always had time for everybody else. She was somebody who everyone knew they could go to and she always said the right things. Maggie was just so easy to step up to and talk to. She was that type of person, even if you didn't know her. Her legacy is going to be one of someone who accomplished a hell of a lot in a short period of time, and someone that everyone loved and knew they could depend on.” Murray was a member of the volleyball team for the four years she was at SHU and was captain for two of those years. She was attending LECOM School of Dental Health in Bradenton, Fla. following her graduation from SHU in spring of 2018. She played in 130 matches for the Griffins volleyball team, including 427 sets. She finished with 2,268 assists, 508 digs, 382 kills, 207 blocks and 83 assists. The match against the California University of Pennsylvania Vulcans on Oct. 2 was held in Murray’s honor, including a moment of silence for the former captain and a white-out from the SHU community. Outside hitter Viktoria Farian scored nine points in a row at the start of the match, which was the number worn by Murray for her four years at SHU.

“On the ninth point, everyone thought the serve was going out,” Hall said, describing the “Major Maggie Magic” that occured on the court. “It hit down on the end line and we like to think that was Maggie pushing it down.” Murray’s memory remains vibrant across the campus. The team’s blue warm-up jerseys for the season feature Murray’s name and number on the back. Her picture was placed under the flag in the gym. There’s a laminated picture the team places on the last seat of the bench during matches. Next year, her number nine will be retired. SHU is working on a scholarship in Murray’s name: the Maggie Murray Memorial Volleyball Scholarship. A memorial mass was held in St. Joseph Chapel on Oct. 4. She is survived by her parents, Mary and Brian, sister Alexandra and brother Brian. “It was really comforting and unbelievably supportive,” Hall said. “Not just the Seton Hill community, but the parents, alumni, the volleyball team, all the sports teams - the whole community. I think the way Seton Hill handled it was tremendous.” The Griffins went to a tournament at Eckerd College in Florida in August, which Murray attended to support her former teammates. Hall said she spoke excitedly about her future, including recently buying her dental tools that she planned to use for a long time. “She would have been someone that would’ve been able to give back to the university and someone you could say you’re proud that she’s a Setonian, she’s a Griffin, she’s a success,” Hall said. “Maybe she had done what she was supposed to do. It’s unfortunate. We’re the ones left back here grieving for her, but she’s probably up there saying ‘what are you crying about?’ That’s just how she was.” A GoFundMe page created to cover Murray’s medical bills and funeral costs raised $27,969, surpassing the $15,000 goal.

SHU wrestling coaches travel to Puerto Rico for international tournament Tyler Nauman and Ty Lydic, assistant wrestling coaches for Seton Hill University, competed in the Copa Sparta International Wrestling Tournament in San Juan, Puerto Rico from Oct. 4-8. Lydic took home third place in the 70-kilogram weight class and Nauman won first place in the 74-kilogram weight class. Nauman, who is a Harrisburg native, has a connection with LAW Wrestling in Lancaster, Pa. The organizer of the trip, Will Betancourt, invited Nauman and Lydic to join his team and travel with other members of the Pennsylvania National Team. “I wrestle with our team and the club but I don’t really compete anymore,” Nauman said. “But the first thing I thought of was Ty. He does international wrestling, I’m going anyway to Puerto Rico, why not wrestle?” Nauman has previously competed in Mexico, where he represented the U.S. men’s team for the Pan American Games. This was Lydic’s first time competing in another country. “His weight class was probably toughest in the tournament,” Nauman said. “He definitely had some tough competition, and he ended up losing a tough match in the semis. We did fairly well.” Nauman said one of the biggest changes was the style of wrestling used in the tournament. At SHU, folk style is utilized, while at Copa Sparta they used international style. “Wrestling somebody that trains international, or freestyle, all the time was definitely an experience,” Nauman said. “The guy that I wrestled was a Greco guy, so he tried to throw me the whole time. I had to even change my style up a bit so I wasn’t able to be thrown. It definitely made me think.” “I was able to learn new technique from the Puerto Rican wrestlers, observe and participate in a wrestling community of another country, as well as experiencing another country's food and culture,” Lydic said. “I am definitely looking to make the trip next year and compete. Hopefully I get the chance to wrestle the Puerto Rican I lost to in the semifinals.” A smaller tournament, the Copa Sparta International has showcased athletes from Puerto Rico, Canada, Japan and the United States. LAW has attended the competition for the past 10 years.

“The biggest thing for our team, or for me, is it doesn’t matter what style they wrestle or who they are,” Nauman said. “We didn’t know everybody there. We just wrestled and that helped.” “Seton Hill has provided me amazing opportunities since I transferred in 2015,” Lydic said. “As a volunteer coach I have been able to remain active in the sport, working out daily with our team. I am being groomed as a coach and have been able to grow as an athlete during that process. I can't thank Coach Tucker enough for the support and help in achieving my goals.” HALEY CARNAHAN is a senior journalism major from North Huntingdon, Pa. She loves music, theatre and Spider-man.

“Halloween" (2018): Green reinvents a classic horror WARNING: SPOILERS THROUGHOUT! Director David Gordon Green brings audiences back to the small town in Illinois 40 years after Michael Myers wreaked havoc on the community in the original 1978 “Halloween” movie. The film takes place in a modern day era where Michael Myers is back to stalk Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) yet again. The 2018 film is the fifth movie in the series that Jamie Lee Curtis has been a part of. Alongside Curtis and Green, original writer and director John Carpenter jumped on board to produce and write the score for the 2018 film. The timeline picks up decades after the 1978 film, which means the slew of sequels and reboots are based on separate timelines. The film offers a new twist to Laurie Strode compared to the first time we saw her in the original film. Audiences are presented with a woman who has been preparing and awaiting the return of Haddonfield’s infamous slasher inside her fortified home. Broken and paranoid, Laurie Strode returns obsessed and determined to kill Michael Myers for good. This time around, the film gives viewers a glimpse on the toll and paranoia Laurie has put on her family. Her daughter Karen Strode (Judy Greer) struggles getting over her rough past of survival techniques that her mother forced on her while getting her granddaughter Allyson Strode (Andi Matichak) ready for college. The millennial granddaughter is portrayed in the film wondering why people are obsessed about five killings that happened 40 years ago. This could be compared to today’s society and the insensitivity to violence due to how much of it happens and is portrayed in the media. Aside from getting a more dense background of Laurie Strode and her family, the film also presents us with a Dr. Loomis type character, Dr. Sartain (Haluk Bilginer), who is the replacement for Myers’ psychiatrist. Now, throw in two British podcasters, Aaron Korey (Jefferson Hall) and Dana Haines (Rhian Rees), who set out to make an award-winning narrative about Myers and Strode. The two end up finding Michael at Smithsgrove Penitentiary where they provoke the dormant evil by showing him the mask, and Haddonfield is reliving the hell that was unleashed in 1978. This is also how the new film puts a twist on how Michael becomes one with the mask again. Since the film takes place in modern day, writers

have adapted to fit the tone of horror. The deaths in this film are seen as more graphic than those in the first film with a character’s head being smashed like a pumpkin. Horror movies are always trying to up the intensity and the 2018 film succeeds in giving the audience a Photo from imdb.com. new angry Myers, who also appears to walk a bit faster. The film shows how the evil has been waiting to return after all this time. Green’s film gives audience a true sequel to the 1978 film while still paying homage to the classic slasher. The two films (1978 and 2018) are very parallel in particular scenes. In the first film, Laurie Strode pushes Myers off a balcony, and in the new version it is Myers who throws Laurie. The film offers more similar nods to the original such as the pumpkin intro, which displays a jack-o’-lantern being re-morphed. Not only does the new film make nods to the older film, but also to “Halloween III: Season of the Witch.” In one scene, two kids are seen wearing masks portrayed in the third film. Overall, the movie was good at giving audiences a new era slasher that uses hints of cinematography from 1978 and a score written by the original director himself, John Carpenter. The film does have laughs at certain times throughout, giving the audience a little stress reliever from the intensity. From one perspective, “Halloween 2018” is a fan-made film made for the fans. The sequel does a tremendous amount of fan service reinventing a low budget film that became a holiday phenomenon and put the audiences right back into the story.

Top five horror tales to read this Halloween ‘Tis the season to be spooky! With All Hallows Eve fast approaching, it is time to get into the spooky mood with a few horror stories to read. “Hex” by Thomas Olde Heuvelt Set in the picturesque town of Black Spring, N.Y., the cursed residents face the daily horrors of the 17th century witch who still stalks the town even in the 21st century. The townspeople fear the day the witch is able to break free of her binds "Hex" by Thomas Olde Heuvelt, which and tear open was published in 2013, tells the story of her mouth and the town Black Spring, N.Y. that is cursed eyes, as there is by a witch in the 21st century. no telling what horrors she may bring. Do not have any optimism should you choose to read this. Heuvelt masterfully showcases horrors that human beings are capable of, both in the past and in the present. “The Haunting of Hill House” by Shirley Jackson Originally published in 1959, Jackson’s “The Haunting of Hill House” has been terrifying readers for nearly 60 years. Following four characters as they partake in an experiment involving the paranormal, the story takes place at the titular home where these four discover things may in fact go bump in the night. This may seem to be just another haunted house tale, and a slow one at that, but Jackson’s writing leaves readers guessing if everything is paranormal or if it could be the characters’ imaginations. With that, you constantly have to read on and learn what is true or false in this twisty, turny tale.

“‘Salem’s Lot” by Stephen King After the arrivals of three new residents, the small, New England town of Jerusalem’s Lot becomes the epicenter for the forces of darkness. It is up to our anti-hero, Ben Mears, and a small, odd group of allies to contain this darkness. “‘Salem’s Lot” is the master of horror’s second novel, and while "'Salem's Lot" by Stephen King you can’t go wrong with was published in 1975. The a classic King work, I feel story follows Ben Mears, who that “‘Salem’s Lot” often discovers residents of his town gets overlooked because are becoming vampires. of other pieces of his work like “IT,” “Carrie” and “The Shining.” With “‘Salem’s Lot,” tension builds on each page, leading you toward the terror which is part three. Unlike many modern vampire stories, the vampires of this novel are not your friends; they are meant to haunt you. “A Rose for Emily” by William Faulkner More so a horror story about the passage of time, “A Rose for Emily” is an odd little piece following Miss Emily Grierson in different parts of her life that asks readers to question her mental stability. Along with that question, there is also the strange disappearance of Homer Barron to contend with, a case that remains unsolved for decades. The final implications of the story leave readers shocked, and slightly disturbed. The final reveal is what cements this story with a spot on this list. This is not a horror story in the traditional sense of supernatural beings or psychotic killers, but instead, the horror revolves around the passage of time and what that means for Miss Emily Grierson’s secrets as the years pass. I first read this short story in high school, and it has haunted me ever since, as this piece could actually happen, which terrifies me the most. --Continued on page 14

Ethel LeFrak Outstanding Student Scholar of the Holocaust Award

“The End of World War II and Ravensbrück, A Concentration Camp for Women” Jessica A. Smith

Jessica A. Smith

essica A. Smith is a post-graduate student in Seton Hill University’s Genocide and Holocaust Studies certificate program. She earned her BA in History and M.Ed. in Social Studies Education from Slippery Rock University. Jessica currently teaches World Geography and Cultures and Social Studies at Rochester Area School District. This past summer, Jessica participated in a study-seminar to Poland sponsored by Pittsburgh’s Classrooms Without Borders (CWB). Jessica’s trip with CWB examined a thousand years of Jewish life in Poland and grappled with the difficult questions surrounding the history of the Holocaust. Jessica wrote her award-winning paper in Dr. Tim Crain’s “SHU 505 75 Special Topics: History of the Holocaust” course during the spring semester of 2018. The title of her academic work is “The End of World War II and Ravensbruck, A Concentration Camp for Women.”

s World War II continued, the Allies slowly began to turn the tide against Adolf Hitler and the Nazis. In the aftermath of the Allied invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, the nation of Germany faced certain defeat. Yet even though the Nazi cause was hopeless, Germany intensified the war against the Jews and others. As the Allied forces closed in on the German nation in the closing months of the war, soldiers from the United States, Britain and the Soviet Union came face to face with the horrors of the concentration camps. Women in particular were singled out for punishment in Hitler’s demonic empire. Ravensbrück was a concentration camp designed specifically for women. At Ravensbrück, as well as countless other places throughout Europe, Hitler’s Germany came closer than human beings have ever come to creating hell on earth.

Lifestyle & Entertainment Section --Continued from "Top five horror..." on page 11 “The Last Days of Jack Sparks” by Jason Arnopp Jack Sparks, a famed yet controversial author, mysteriously dies while writing his newest book “Jack Sparks on the Supernatural.” Starting with an exorcism he witnesses, which Jack mocks on Twitter, this dark humorous book reveals the final days of Jack’s life as he goes on a quest to find the truth on the paranormal. If you enjoy dark humor this may just be the book for you. Jack’s sarcastic, rude and often unreliable nature make for a type of protagonist not often seen in horror novels. He does not believe in the paranormal and instead of fighting against forces of darkness the entire time, he instead tries to debunk everything happening around him, leaving readers both laughing and yelling at him the longer the book goes on. For one final bonus horror story to read this Halloween, Seton Hill’s own master of horror, English professor Michael Arnzen, gives his recommendation.

“I get along with my onstage counterpart (McGraw) so well, and it honestly has been a treat to marry him every night,” Lawson said. “He has such a big heart and a phenomenal sense of humor in real life, which matches his character so well. It makes it much easier to portray our onstage relationship more authentically.” Other members of the cast include Riley Tate, Lance Joos,

“Frankenstein” by Mary Shelley In this famous tale, young Victor Frankenstein becomes obsessed with the idea of bringing the dead back to life after his mother dies. Only once he succeeds, he believes he has created a monster. But the novel begs: who is truly man and who is truly monster? “I like its dark exploration of all things life and death,” Arnzen said. “And ever since I read Frankenstein in a Gettysburg graveyard one fall afternoon, it has put me in the spooky spirit of Halloween.”

We were also all friends to begin with, so we had something to build upon.” SHU’s next theater performances are “Clybourne Park” Feb. 22-March 2 and “The Seagull” April 5-13. Tickets for the final performances of “Company” can be purchased at the SHU box office or online. “I’m excited to see how the audiences react to the show differently,” Lawson said. “I’m lucky enough to have been in a musical each year I’ve attended Seton Hill, and I’m very excited to close out my final musical at Seton Hill with a bang.” PAIGE PARISE is a senior communication and journalism double major. She plays snare drum and is the drumline captain in the marching band.
