2017 Homecoming and Family Weekend Upcoming Fun The 2017 Seton Hill University Homecoming and Family Weekend will be held Oct. 12-15. It will include several events such as a pep rally, the ghost lantern tour, a campus community project and more. On MySHU, formerly Griffin’s Lair, there will be a registration link with more information for the events under the Happenings tab or on OrgSync. Ticket pickup will be in the Student Life Office Oct. 12-13 in Maura Hall, room 223 from 8 a.m.- 4 p.m. and also The Griffin Nest in Maura Hall Oct. 13 from 4 p.m.6 p.m. and Oct. 14 from 11 a.m.- 1 p.m. Ticketed events include Ghost Lantern Tours, Dueling Piano Dinner and Whiskey Rebellion Smash. “In trying to entertain in various ways, there’s something for everybody,” said Mary Cox, director of alumni relations. A service project early Saturday morning, a Crime Lab 101 classroom presentation, a tailgate competition and more will be included in the events. Late Friday, a Dueling Pianos Dinner will host a dinner entertainment with a variety of music, and it’s intended to be very interactive. “They say in their publicity that the audience really becomes the show, so we’ll have a buffet dinner and we’ve got lots of people signed up. It’s one of many things that is not yet sold out,” said Cox. There’s a Ghost Lantern Tour Thursday that’s sold out and a pep rally. The homecoming game against Gannon University starts at 4 p.m. Saturday and the Homecoming King and Queen will be introduced before kickoff. “That’s different from past years,” said Cox. “It would be a shame to have people come when the game’s half over. It used to be halftime; they’d miss the whole thing, so they’re going to crown the king and queen before the game starts and that all happens out on the field.” On Saturday, Barbara Flowers, professor of forensics science, is presenting with some students for a sold out Crime Lab 101. “It’s something that they’ve done in the classroom before, so examples of how they investigate a scene maybe. It’s intended to be very informative

and give folks the opportunity to see a little about our forensics program,” said Cox. On Offutt Field, the tailgate competition will be on Urania Avenue, where the street will be shut down. “They have very strict rules about the competition and how they can compete to be the best overall, the best Griffin Pride, best decorations and then the best food, that will contain bacon,” said Cox. “We’d really like to get some student clubs to sign up to be in the competition,” Cox said. “We have a bunch of different alumni groups that are having tents, so like people in the MBA program who’ve graduated, they’re gonna do a tent, and we just have a general alumni tent.” The Whiskey Rebellion Smash is “different things happening relevant to that historic time period. We have students dressed in costumes who’ll be there,” said Cox. SHU alumni group Lovebettie will be the entertainment for the event. “It’ll be nice to have them back doing their thing, and they’re glad to be back doing it too,” said Cox. Group members include Alexandra Naples, C.T. Fields, Shawn King and Nicholas Quinn. Ashley Kunkle, new to alumni relations, said, “maintaining that connectedness to the university” is beneficial for individuals involved in the weekend because, “it’s really about just being able to be there and continue that relationship with the school that you spent four years of your life at, some more, some less.” Mariah Betz, a sophomore creative writing major, said, “I think it’s good to know about these things, that way if you want to go, you can go. It’s good to get involved and get out, go with friends, have fun.” ANNIE MEYERS is a sophomore journalism-new media major. She enjoys reading, writing and participating in theater in her free time and would like to someday write a novel about her life experiences.

You’ve got to break down this extremism and get people talking together.” Many SHU students were encouraged or required by professors to attend. Tasha Brownfield, a sophomore psychology and religious studies major, attended the film with members of her dorm floor as part of their spiritual development requirement. “The most important thing I learned was how important it is just for an individual person to reach out, because it only takes two people to transform an entire nation,” Brownfield said. “If you’re able to and you’re brave enough to reach out, then you can change the world.” Along with SHU, the event was sponsored by the YWCA of Westmoreland County, the Westmoreland Library Network and the Consortium for Educational Resources on
Islamic Studies. SHU’s next event with the YWCA will be a panel called “Immigration: It’s Not That Easy” on Nov. 8 at 6 p.m. in Cecilian Hall, which is open to the community. Reflecting on “The Sultan and the Saint,” Leap said she was moved by the “positive response” from the community, and she believes learning about the story of “The Sultan and the Saint” can give people courage. “It is deeply inspirational to revisit the story of St. Francis and Sultan al-Kamil and recall their efforts, in the midst of far more brutal conditions, to reach out to one another,” Leap said. “It was truly moving for me to be in a room with so many people from our local community who are also inspired by this story and engaged themselves in reaching out for healing, compassion and peacemaking.” PAIGE PARISE is a junior communication major with a journalism minor.

SHU presents the Defamation Experience Seton Hill University presented “Defamation,” Sept. 27, a nationally acclaimed play that explores the issues of race, religion, gender and class in a judicial setting. The play, a creation of Canamac Productions, comes to SHU at a time when controversy is at an all time high in the country. Produced by playwright Todd Logan, the play offers a unique experience for the audience to engage in civil discourse being that they are the jury in the trial. “I wanted to write a play that covers the issues I started seeing in my life,” said Logan, who began writing “Defamation” after he began recognizing his own biases and saw an opportunity to allow others to recognize their biases as well. “Defamation,” which first premiered in 2010, is a three-part event including the play, the deliberation and the post-show discussion. “The idea to make the audience the jury came about during my struggle to find an ending to the play,” said Logan. “I suddenly realized that I didn’t have to come up with an ending, that it would be up to the audience to decide.”

Preserving SHU history with time capsule

We hope to make the 100th class have a story that will last the next 100 years. The time capsule will be placed in the Grotto of Our Lady of Lourdes right in the alcove under Mary. Photographs and small objects are examples to put in the time capsule. Bigger objects will not fit in the time capsule such as, statues and large crucifixes. While all suggestions will be considered, the committee will make the final call on what will be placed inside of the time capsule.

Setonian Magazine --Continued from “SHU Wrestling...” on page 3 rounds of shocks to Marshall, whose heart was out of rhythm. Emergency services arrived “shortly after.” “By then, we started to get some response,” said Tanner Druck, a volunteer assistant coach. Lydic had handed phone to Druck so that he could help with CPR. “I was talking to the operator. I told them on the phone where we were, because we’re kind of off the grid down there,” said Druck. “I was in shock, going through the motions. We were all doing what we had to do.”
“I think this culture that we built is just one that has become an expectation in that situation-- the leadership roles and the leadership traits that everyone possesses go on display at any time period.”
-Brian Tucker
“As soon as I realized how serious things were, I got all the guys because they were still working out and they were all over the room. It was chaos in there,” said Brett Smith, assistant coach. He took everyone out into the parking lot. “At that point, the guys were starting to get a little bit panicked,” said Smith. “We all felt like we should be doing something, but there wasn’t much we could do. We tried to figure out the best way we could help from outside, and that was blocking traffic off so Jordan could get down the Hill.” The team lined up across College Avenue to direct traffic. Blair was able to easily cross the road on his golf cart to the wrestling building. Smith and team members also propped open all the doors and moved gear out of the way so emergency services could get in as quickly as possible. “I felt I needed to be as relaxed as possible to keep them from being too panicked when we got outside,” said Smith. “It was difficult, but we just tried to give them a goal to focus on so they wouldn’t sit there worrying. They did really well; they were super organized, came together and communicated well.” “We were all proud of ourselves to be able to overcome a situation like that,” said Druck. “We were happy that he was healthy.”
One of the wrestling team’s mottos include ‘the control which you can control” and leadership, as well as coordinating effectively. “To really see all those skills translate into a situation that was life or death was really cool to see,” said Smith. “I think from a team aspect, I’m not sure it’s really set in yet, what was accomplished,” said Tucker. “I think it’s something everyone kind of knows, but I don’t think it will ever be something we realize how great it actually was. Because I think this culture that we built is just one that has become an expectation in that situation-- the leadership roles and the leadership traits that everyone possesses go on display at any time period, whether it be a crazy situation like this, or just a local night hanging out.” “It was awesome to see and think that as to how those qualities played out and to how everyone responded,” said Tucker. “I’m sure we’re going to see that it’s brought us closer together.

Angela’s Appetite: Butternut Squash Tarte Cook time: approx. 2 hours Servings: approx. 14 servings Ingredients: 1 butternut squash 12 oz ricotta ½ tablespoon cinnamon ½ teaspoon nutmeg
2 egg whites 1 cup parmesan cheese 1 cup mozzarella cheese Photo from the
Associated Press. Directions: Cut the butternut squash in half. Grease a pan with cooking spray and lay the squash halves upside down. Cook in the oven at 425 degrees for 1 hour, or until the squash becomes soft. While allowing the squash to cool, mix together the other ingredients. After the squash is cool, scoop the middle part of the squash in a separate bowl. Really smash the squash; you do not want any chunks (unless
you enjoy eating chunky casseroles!). Once the squash is evenly smashed, stir in the other ingredients, getting rid of all chunks. Now pour evenly into a 9-by-9inch sprayed pan. Sprinkle some extra cheese of your choice on top! Tips: I always add extra cinnamon during the fall season, and I also add extra cheese! It makes it thicker and stringy, which I love! ANGELA SHRIANE is a junior secondary English and special education major. She enjoys working out and reading in her spare time.
