Spentallthatm oney on spring break to geta tan Dave Gershgorn/The Penn Megan Joseph gave a presentation titled “Sustainable Transformative Reentry.”

Alumna discusses reentry By jenna burger Staff Writer J.M.Burger@iup.edu

The criminology department sponsored alumna speaker Megan Joseph to speak to students about her experiences in the criminology field after graduation from IUP. Joseph started building her career with a bachelor’s degree in criminology along with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. She also has a master’s degree in transformative leadership.

It has been 10 years since Joseph has been at IUP, and she already owns her own entrepreneur leadership company.

The topic of Joseph’s presentation was “Sustainable Transformative Reentry.”

Joseph explained that reentry is the process that criminals go through when they are released from jail into the community once again.

“Reentry is defined as the process beginning at adjudication , which plans for and provides necessary services and support to enable the formerly incarcerated to do basically four things; reenter the community, achieve personal empowerment, successfully reintegrate into the community, and to complete probation or parole without incarceration again,” Joseph said.

She discussed creating opportunities and access to those opportunities for the newly released by having reentry programs.

“All the programs start with myself and theirself, the individual,” Joseph said.

The five stages of reentry were explained during her presentation.

These consisted of arrest and adjudication, incarceration, pre-release, release, and reintegration. It was emphasized that the release stage is where the community plays a vital part.

It was also mentioned that to increase the success of reentry, the community must be engaged in the process.

Joseph included examples of observations that service providers, law enforcement, and the formerly incarcerated had made about the transition into the community and how reentry programs helped.

She also offered advice to students majoring in criminology.

“Get involved in your community,” Joseph said.

She told students that they needed to find out what their community did or did not have. By doing so, they could act on that information and create an even better community.

Israel prepares for strife as US calls for peace talks

By SHEERA FRENKEL McClatchy Newspapers MCT

Palestinian militants in Gaza fired rockets deep into Israel on Thursday, as the Israeli military said it was being drawn into a broader confrontation with militants in Gaza.

Israel Defense Forces officers told McClatchy Newspapers that if the violence persists, Israel could be drawn into a large-scale operation in Gaza.

“Nobody wants to see another Cast Lead,” said one high-ranking official from Israel’s Southern Command, which oversees Gaza. He was referring to Israel’s punishing 22-day Gaza offensive, which commenced in December 2008. “The region is a big mess right now. Everything is unpredictable, and it could turn against us quickly.”

The Israeli official, like others, spoke anonymously because he wasn’t authorized to speak on the record.

Israeli Defense Forces officials said that the spike in violence along the Gaza border was probably unrelated to Wednesday’s bombing in Jerusalem, which killed British tourist Mary Jane Gardner, 59, and injured more than 30 others.

On Thursday, Palestinian rockets hit closer to large Israeli cities than in previous attacks. One rocket landed near the town of Yavne, approximately 12 miles from Tel Aviv, Israel’s largest city. Israeli officials for years have warned that militants had smuggled in long-range rockets capable of hitting urban areas that had been out of reach.

Israeli aircrafts have been pounding the Gaza Strip with air strikes, hitting at known military installations and what they said were rocket-launching sites.

Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who arrived in Israel on Wednesday, said that the violence could stall efforts made by the U.S. to pressure Israeli and Palestinian leaders to restart peace talks.

Gates called Wednesday’s bombing “a horrific terrorist attack.” Ahead of his trip, U.S. officials said the White House hoped to convince Israelis that restarting the peace process would serve their best interest in a time of regional unrest. “(Gates) will make the general argument that ... the Israelis have a very deep strategic interest in getting out in front of the wave of populism that’s sweeping the region,” a U.S. official said, speaking anonymously because he wasn’t authorized to speak on the record. “Showing real progress on the peace track with the Palestinians would put them in a much better position for where the region’s likely to be in six months or a year from now.”

Israeli officials said they’re aware of the risks of starting another operation in Gaza. Recent uprisings in Tunisia, Egypt, Yemen, Bahrain and Libya have focused on domestic politics and economics, but the focus could be deflected to Israel.

“With instability in their own fronts, countries like Syria or Egypt could chose to turn attention to Israel to distract from their own problems,” said an official from Israel’s Foreign Ministry. He added that politicians in Israel could not, however, choose to ignore domestic calls for stronger action to be taken against Gaza.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed some of those calls in a speech Wednesday. He said the Islamist Hamas group that controls the Gaza was behind the rocket attacks, and “that responsibility has a price.”

Panelists discuss journalism, new media

By JOHN BODDINGTON Staff Writer J.M.Boddington@iup.edu

Panelists gathered to discuss the impact of social and news media on journalism Wednesday in the HUB Ohio Room.

“Traditional media has a battle on its hands,” said executive editor of the Indiana Gazette Eric Ebeling.

Ebeling was just one of the three panelists who spoke at the event, sponsored by IUP’s Society of Professional Journalists.

The three panelists present had much experience under their belts and came from different areas in the field of journalism.

Steve Buttry, a professor at American University in Washington, D.C., also spoke at the event.

Buttry is also the director of community engagement for TBD.com, an online newspaper launched in August and based in Washington, D.C. Buttry was named Editor of the Year in February 2010 by Editor and Publisher magazine.

Also on the panel was Cindi Lash, a 1980 IUP graduate. Lash is a Western Pennsylvania regional editor for Patch.com and a former editor at the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette.

“At Patch.com, we’re like the old-time newspapers, but we’re not just about news,” Lash said. “We want

“Traditional media has a battle on its hands.”

— Eric Ebeling, executive editor of the Indiana Gazette community involvement, we want you to tell us what you want as much as we tell and inform you about news.”

The discussion was moderated by Dr. David Loomis, journalism professor and editor of the HawkEye, an online publication.

The questions pertained to social and news media and its credibility and effects on society. The panelists also covered the risks of social media and the younger generation concerning newspapers.

“The best question a journalist can ask, no matter what source of media they research, is ‘how do you know that?’” Buttry said. “It helps one to separate the facts from the rumors and sketchy information.”

Social media, according to the panelists, can be a good start for finding article ideas, but like any source of information, needs to be fully researched.

This past week, Twitter celebrated its fifth year in operation.

“One needs to use the same common sense with Facebook and Twitter as they would with a face-to-face

By the end of the panel, students

had the opportunity to listen to three professionals and how they deal with social media and news media in their careers every day.

These panelists gave students a sample of what they will have to work with when they arrive in the field.

“They spent a generous amount of time on each question to make sure it was fully answered,”

Katelyn Muller (freshman, journalism) said.

“I thought it was interesting and insightful, and they brought up many good points,” Patrice Clayton (freshman, journalism) said.

“Today is not a ‘bad’ time to enter the field of journalism,” Ebeling said. “it is certainly a difficult time, but individuals can be highly successful with new business.”

Archaeology field schools offer first-hand experience

By IMANI DILLARD Senior Staff Writer I.J.Dillard@iup.edu

This summer, the anthropology department is offering students a chance at some hands-on archaeological experience.

Beginning in the summer II session, the department will have archaeological field schools.

The objective of these field schools is to provide students with real field training, which includes excavation, recording findings and discovering artifacts.

The program is directed by professors Ben Ford and Beverly Chiarulli.

“The field school provides training outside of the classroom,” Ford said.

“Students will leave campus every morning and go to sites to excavate and take notes on findings.”

The location of the excavation sites are in historic Hanna’s Town in Westmoreland County.

According to the department web-

site, Hanna’s Town was destroyed in 1782, nine years after it was founded.

The site was then abandoned.

Thus, any artifacts found there can be dated to those years, giving “a unique single-generation glimpse of 18th-century life in Western Pennsylvania and the Northwest Territory.“ The archaeological field schools provide the opportunity for students to decide if archaeology is for them.

It also give students interested in the past a chance to get out of the classroom and do some hands-on learning.

According to Ford, any student is eligible for the program.

However, preference is given to anthropology and archaeology students.

The program is worth six credit hours. The cost is based on university tuition for summer.

More information about the program and how to apply can be found on the departments’s website or by contacting Ford at ben.ford@iup.edu.

Michele Bachmann considers 2012 GOP presidential bid

By STEVEN THOMMA McClatchy Newspapers MCT

Tea party favorite Rep. Michele Bachmann, R-Minn., is likely to form an exploratory committee in June as the first formal step toward seeking the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, close advisers said Thursday.

Forming the panel would allow her to start raising money for a campaign and hiring people, one adviser said.

“We are talking to people, identifying potential state directors, and she’ll continue to step up her travel schedule,” the adviser said, speaking only on the condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to talk to journalists.

Bachmann is likely to enlist tea party activists to help run her campaigns in key caucus and primary states. In Iowa, the site of the first precinct caucuses, she’s expected to hire state Sen. Kent Sorenson as her state campaign director. In South Carolina, the site of the first Southern primary, tea party activist Sheri Few of Columbia is likely to play a key role, the Bachmann adviser said.

Bachmann has said several times that she thinks she can wait until summer to join the race, which is starting later than usual. The adviser said Bachmann still didn’t know whether she’d jump into the first three debates, scheduled for May 2 at the Reagan Presidential Library in California, May 5 in South Carolina and sometime in June in New Hampshire.

IUP students, faculty make their voices heard By ida arici Senior Staff Writer I.D.Arici@iup.edu

Students, faculty and administrators congregated from noon to 1 p.m. Tuesday before the library steps to protest Gov. Tom Corbett’s proposed budget cuts to stateowned universities.

With the slogan “United We Stand, Underfunded We Fail,” the rally had a variety of speakers from undergraduate students to Rep. Dave L. Reed (R) of the 62nd district.

“My work over the next few months is clear,” said Reed, an IUP alum. “We want to restore as much money as we can to the state system. We want to make sure our schools, like IUP, remain strong and vibrant for the years and generations ahead.”

Corbett proposed spending cuts of about $625 million, more than 50 percent, for the 14 universities in the State System of Higher Education, and state-affiliated Temple, Lincoln, Penn State and Pitt.

“A 53 percent cut to schools like IUP cannot stand,” said Reed. “These schools are the center of these communities and the center of the beginnings of students’ lives.”

Many local and international students attend IUP for its quality education at an affordable rate. One international student, Abdullah Al-Dagamseh, an English graduate student, addressed the issues of affordability and quality.

“International students here at IUP are about 5 percent of the student population,” said Al-Dagamseh of Jordan.

“With the proposed budget, tuition would increase and the number of international students will drop. IUP’s international prestige and reputation would be directly affected.”

IUP men’s basketball player Joe Rocco (senior, biology) noted in his speech that these budget cut decisions will not only affect America’s development, but will also affect how America is perceived throughout the rest of the world.

“Through this type of action, cutting funds for education, they’re making a statement of what they believe is important,” Rocco said.

“It’s a statement I believe has very little background, very little support.”

Professors also spoke out against the proposed cuts, which could lead to larger class sizes, a reduction of educational resources, and strung-out professors.

Susan Drummond, the president of the IUP Association of Pennsylvania State College & University Faculties (APSCUF) chapter, described her experiences as an undergraduate student at IUP 30 years ago.

The first college attendee from a workingclass family, Drummond was attracted to the affordability, the small class sizes and the quality education.

“When I arrived here, my tuition was $400 per semester,” said Drummond.

“Pennsylvania provided approximately 68 percent of support for this university

and my tuition made up the remaining 32 percent.

Today, those numbers are reversed.”

With the possible changes, students will be forced to pay an additional 28.3 percent, or $800 more per semester, according to Drummond.

State schools will no longer be an affordable option; forcing students to either drop out or take out more student loans.

Student debt in America exceeds the total amount of credit card debt, according to David Chambers, the master of ceremonies and an associate political science professor.

To conclude the rally, Peter Roquemore (senior, political science) revved up the crowd and encouraged them to fight the budget cut.

“I’ve always believed there are two forms of power in this world: money and people,” Roquemore said.

“The governor is using his power of the money against us, but it’s we the people who will tell the governor that we will rise, and we will fight with the power of the people.”

IUP Interim President shares his thoughts on the proposed budget cuts By vaughn johnson Editor in Chief V.M.Johnson@iup.edu

Gov. Tom Corebett’s proposed budget cuts on education the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) makes a tough job even tougher for IUP Interim President Dr. David Werner.

“Where’s my car, I want to go home,” Werner said jokingly during an interview in his office March 22 about his initial reaction to the proposal. “We were thinking that the governor’s recommendation would be about a 10 percent reduction in funding, and so 50 percent was more than a surprise for sure.”

The budget the PASSHE schools worked with last year was a little over $465 million, according to the PASSHE website. The proposed cuts would knock that down to $232 million. For IUP specifically, the results could be devastating.

Werner said that government funding is about 33 percent of IUP’s total operating budget. That budget is called the Education and General Budget or “E and G,” and it does not include housing.

Part of that was the federal stimulus money in which will be gone from the budget regardless of the proposal. With the stimulus money gone, that 33 percent will be knocked down to about 28 percent. With the proposal, that 28 percent will be cut in half down to about 14 percent.

That cut could result in a loss of about $30 million, according to Werner.

“That will have a dramatic impact on our ability to offer classes, to provide access to students,” Werner said.

If this proposal were to pass, Werner said the board of governors would have to take a hard look at what the tuition rate would be.

According to Werner, the board of

Page 8 • Friday, March 25, 2011 • www.thepenn.org

governors have made tuition rates a little above or a little below the rate of inflation. This proposal may change that.

“I can’t predict what they would do, but one thing they would look is to what extent to raise tuition,” Werner said. “They’re clearly not going to raise tuition to a level that would recoup all of those dollars, but that would be one of the strategies that would be looked at.”

W e r n e r believes that they will also have to plan how the school will get by next year under the possible circumstances of budget cuts. To this

point, there hasn’t been any planning for that. All of the planning has gone toward the loss of the federal stimulus money and only a 10 percent reduction from the state. Along with the 10 percent cut from the state, IUP had already planned on a 4 percent in increase in tuition before the budget proposal was released.

The proposal presents a completely different challenge for IUP, according to Werner.

“It would mean dramatic changes at the university,” Werner said.

“We’re not going to panic into doing something,” he said. “We want to see what’s going to come out of the legislative process before we do that.”

By chuck shepherd The Feral Professor — Tihomir Petrov, 43, a mathematics professor at California State University Northridge, was charged in January with misdemeanors for allegedly urinating twice on the office door of a colleague with whom he had been feuding. (Petrov was identified by a hidden camera installed after the original puddles turned up.) Petrov is the author of several scholarly papers, with titles such as “Rationality of Moduli of Elliptic Fibrations With Fixed Monodromy.”

Can’t Possibly Be True — Gangs in Durban, South Africa, have recently begun stealing expensive anti-retroviral (ARV) drugs destined for AIDS patients and using them in the country’s most popular street drug, “whoonga,” a highly addictive, smoked cocktail of detergent, rat poison, marijuana and the ARVs. The crisis was reported by KwaZuluNatal province drug-abuse organiza-

tions and Durban police, who stood by their claims despite attempts by South African president Jacob Zuma to assure international suppliers of ARVs that more were needed and that none were being diverted for whoonga.

— Somehow, prison inmates finagled $39 million in undeserved federal tax refunds in 2009, according to a February report by the U.S. Treasury Department’s inspector general for tax administration. In Key West, Fla., for example, where prisoner Danilo Suarez was sentenced in January to five years in prison for filing multiple fraudulent returns, jailers discovered a pass-around sheet of instructions for false filings. While some refunds were legitimate (e.g., on pre-incarceration investment activity), the IRS was found to conduct fraud screenings on fewer than half of all returns filed by prisoners. (The IRS complained that, until 2008, it was illegal for the agency to share information with state corrections officials — or even with the Federal Bureau of Prisons.)

— State law in Tennessee prohibits registered sex offenders from re-contacting their victims, but there is no such restriction on anyone convicted of a sex crime before 2007, and still in prison, but who is not yet on the registered list. (Post-2007 sex criminals are automatically registered upon conviction.) Consequently, according to a February WMC-TV report, convicted molester Terry McConnell cannot be prevented from mailing birthday cards to one of his two pre-2007 victims (one reading, “I cannot believe my little tot-tot is already a teenager. You might be tired of me writing this, but I can’t get over how fast you are growing up”). (Prison officials say their limited resources are better used on monitoring incoming mail rather than outgoing.)

— Senior Houston police officer Mike Hamby, 51, was suspended in February after witnesses reported that he, off-duty and not in uniform, had tossed a tear-gas grenade into a group of rivals in a rodeo cooking contest. Hamby has 30 years’ service

and was a member of his union’s board of directors. About 300 teams compete in the barbecue cook-off, and police were investigating whether Hamby was merely trying to sabotage a competitor’s food.

Unclear on the Concept — As is usually the case when Walmart announces the intention to build a new store, community supporters (pushing for jobs, an enlarged tax base and shopper convenience) battle community opponents (trying to save mom-and-pop retailers), and when plans were announced for a northeast Washington, D.C., location, it was the local Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner, Brenda Speaks, who produced a brand-new reason for opposing such a store. Young people, she told an anti-Walmart rally (according to a February Washington Post report), would be more likely to get criminal records because, with a big corporation around, they could less resist the temptation to steal.

— British drug dealer Luke Walsh-

Pinnock, 22, recently released after a prison stint, threatened in February to sue police in the Kilburn neighborhood of London after officers distributed a leaflet near his mother’s home warning that Walsh-Pinnock was once again free. Walsh-Pinnock said he felt “humiliated” by the leaflet, in violation of his “human rights.”

The Redneck Chronicles — Timothy Walker, 48, was hospitalized in Burlington, N.C., in February after he fell off of an SUV while he was on top, holding down two mattresses for the driver, who apparently rounded a curve too fast.

— Three people were hospitalized in Bellevue, Wash., in January when their van stalled and then exploded as the ignition was re-engaged. They were carrying two gallons of gasoline in an open container and had been feeding the carburetor directly, through an opening in the engine housing (between the seats), as the van was in motion. (It was not reported why they were doing it that way.)

Opinion

College students right to protest 50 percent cut Editorial Reading Eagle MCT

There’s nothing like a potential hit in the wallet to generate political activism, and Gov. Tom Corbett’s proposed budget cuts for the stateowned universities, which would translate into a 32 percent tuition increase at Kutztown University, has done exactly that.

Last week more than 200 angry students protested the proposed cuts, which also could mean staff layoffs and program cuts at the school.

Campus officials said the rally was the largest at the university in years.

This is the third consecutive year Kutztown officials may have to struggle to make budgetary ends meet. Two years ago, facing a comparatively minor problem, the university shaved $150,000 from its budget by discontinuing the men’s interscholastic swimming and soccer teams. A handful of athletes and members of their families raised objections to no avail.

Last year the budget shortfall was about $4 million, and administrators had little choice but to turn to

cutting some academic programs.

The nursing and theater programs took the hit. University officials said they would be eliminated over time, allowing most in those disciplines to finish their studies at Kutztown or transfer to another school.

Nevertheless more than 50 students asked the student government at Kutztown to start a dialogue with university officials in the hope of saving their majors.

Now the pending crisis has the potential to impact every student not only at Kutztown but also at each of the other 13 state-owned universities, as well as faculty, administrators and staff. And the four staterelated universities -- Lincoln, Penn State, Pitt and Temple -- are facing similar cuts.

Students at Kutztown encouraged their classmates to call or write their senators and representatives in Harrisburg in an effort to head off the governor’s plan, which would provide $232.6 million to the state universities, down from $465.2 million this year, making it the lowest appropriation for the State System of Higher Education that governs the schools.

There will be a bus trip next week to the capitol for yet another rally.

We applaud the students’ political activism. And unlike the last two years, when there really was little chance to impact decisions that were being made by university officials, the protesters really can have an impact on the final version of the state budget.

Not all that long ago, one longtime member of the Legislature from Berks County told the Reading Eagle that if he received more than a dozen phone calls or letters on a given subject, it was enough to attract his attention. Considering the number of students this budget proposal would impact not only at Kutztown but also at the other state-owned universities, protest organizations should be able to get the attention of a lot of people in the Legislature.

At the same time, the students cannot expect miracles. There is no doubt that the state is in serious financial trouble to the tune of $4 billion in red ink, and spending cuts are going to have to be made, including some to the state-owned university system.

But cutting the allocation by half and forcing tuition to rise by 32 percent is draconian, and the protesting students are absolutely correct to say so.

Keyboard cupids have it too easy

By Rex W. Huppke Chicago Tribune MCT

Some students at the University of Chicago are cheating. They are cheating at having sex.

The world learned last week that tech-savvy youth at the university have set up a website that allows students to arrange no-strings-attached sexual encounters with each other.

Recent posts range from “A Quick Finals Week Fix?” to “study break in the stacks.”

This is patently unfair. When I was in college, a person had to endure the age-old ritual of actually seeking out and meeting someone and then, over time, convincing that person that a “study break in the stacks” might be a good idea.

These kids are bypassing all the tricky stuff. It’s like teaching a young man to hunt by having him hold an arrow and then throwing the deer at his hand.

University of Chicago officials refuse to comment on the site, which has the potential to change the university’s student-body description in the next U.S. News & World Report college rankings from “brainy and dull” to “brainy and really good at coordinating anonymous sexual encounters.”

Enrollment will likely quadruple.

In fact, the development of this website — UChicagoHookups.com — may just be a tactical response to the recent live-sex show that a professor held at Northwestern University. (If so, well played U. of C. Well played.)

But what’s important here is that I didn’t have access to any such service in college, so neither should anyone else. Also, an immediate-gratification system like this robs university students of a critical element of their education.

My own college days taught me important lessons on looking for love and facing rejection. Repeated, seemingly unending, rejection. So very much rejection.

Anyway, concerned about the future of America’s youth, I reached out to Lisa Shield, a Los Angelesbased “transformational dating and relationship coach.” She was shocked to hear about the online sex-facilitation system these lackadaisical

Chicago students have created.

“The enjoyment of sex and being a sexual person is something I can’t stand in judgment of,” Shield said.

“However, the problem is too many people are getting their sexual needs met at the expense of learning how to have a real relationship. They’re very different paths. Sex doesn’t lead to a real emotional connection.”

Correct. Spending hours in a fraternity house drinking beer and dancing — poorly — to loud music is what builds real emotional connections. Should that result in sex — Yay! But if not, at least friendships are forged and we learn a thing or two about interacting with the objects of our desires.

Shield said she sees an increasing number of people in their 20s and early 30s coming to her completely befuddled about how to date, how to meet someone and nurture a healthy relationship.

“I see beautiful, successful, amazing people coming into my office, but none of that matters because when it comes to relationships, they don’t know how to do it,” Shield said.

“You’ve got to get out there and you have to go through the school of hard knocks. You’ve got to get your heart broken, you’ve got to open yourself up. You’ve got to learn to be who you are.”

In other words, University of Chicago sex cheaters, you’ve got to go through all the same stuff your parents and their parents before them went through. You can’t go through life relying on cyber-offers of “Sex and coffee cake” and “Let me (expletive) the nerd out of you.”

You need to awkwardly pursue that one man or woman who you know is out of your league. Then you need to feel the crushing devastation of watching that person run off with someone else while your friends make fun of me. I mean you.

These are the lessons that will make you a well-rounded person, a human being ready to handle the stresses of intimacy and the work that any good relationship requires.

Hard as it may be to believe, there are more important things in this world than sex. And that is exactly what I told myself on all those lonely nights in college when I would’ve given my left arm for a website like the one I strongly encourage you not to use.

Letters to the editor

Call to action Times are tough, there is no doubt about that. We’re all cutting costs and making sacrifices in one way or another. As students, faculty, and administrators we understood that the coming year would test our resolve.

As an academic community we would be asked to come together and achieve the standard of excellence we have come to expect of each other with less than we have done so in the past. While we at IUP were at rest and enjoying spring break, chaos was the rule across our nation and the world. The people of the Middle East struggled to liberate themselves from oppression,

strangers came together to form families in Japan and Haiti to restore their ravaged communities, and here in the United States citizens rose to demand their rights.

It is our time IUP. It is time in Pennsylvania for us to remind our newly elected Governor Corbett that this government is a government of the people, by the people, and for the people and that we the people will not sit quietly while our education is attacked.

IUP, I am calling on you to take a stand. IUP I am calling on you to lead. Join me and students from across the state as we descend upon Harrisburg in solidarity on Monday

March 28, 2011 and make the capitol quake in our presence. Bus tickets to the rally are available at the Co-Op ticket counter for $30. Tickets must be purchased before 4 p.m. on Friday March 25. The bus will depart from the HUB at 7 a.m. on Monday March 28 and leave Harrisburg at 1 p.m. to return to IUP. We are also organizing a caravan for carpooling.

For more information on bus tickets and carpooling visit, iuprapidresponse.wordpress.com/projectupdates/ Peter Roquemore Senior, political science/religious studies

No sympathy I have no sympathy for the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education (PASSHE) nor for any of the four state-related colleges in regards to their impending budgetary cuts from the taxpayers of Pennsylvania.

If history has taught us anything, it’s that college presidents received increasing amounts of state aid over the years, while at the same time raising tuition for the students. And what do these universities have to show for the increased tuition and state aid?

Let’s take a look at our own IUP as an example: Under the tenure of former President Tony Atwater, the university shed instructional staff, leading to increased class sizes and reduced course offerings.

Meanwhile, projects such as the

Residential Revival, the Kovalchick Complex and the library entrance renovation projects were allowed to proceed unchecked. Instead of spending state money on education, IUP spent money on construction projects it simply could have forgone. Now the college will have debt service on these projects for the next few decades.

Institutions such as Penn State are also guilty of spending money unchecked.

It’s about every three years we see renovations to Beaver Stadium so they can increase seating capacity, and now Penn State is about to build a 5,000 seat venue for its hockey program on its main campus.

Meanwhile, enrollment at its regional campuses are down, and tuition continues to climb for their students.

Instead of biting the bullet and curtailing projects on campus, college presidents are threatening to raise student’s tuitions. Such rhetoric from college presidents is childish at best.

Governor Tom Corbett’s plan will force college officials to spend the money where it really matters - the classroom.

I think the students of this campus can live without the proposed “Crimson Line” trolley route, and a new building for the humanities department for the time being.

Rather, during these hard times, college officials must tighten their belt, just as many hard working families are doing in this area and across the Commonwealth.

Andrew M. Gruse Senior, social studies education

We see a good deal of activism on campus for one cause or another, whether we agree with said activists positions or not.

But how often do you get involved? If you’ve never fought for a cause before, now is a pretty good time to start – and we’ve got a great cause to work for.

If you haven’t heard about Governor Tom Corbett’s proposed state budget, here’s your blunt reality check: 50 percent cuts to funding for higher education.

That means higher tuition, fewer professors, bigger classes and decreased student services – and that’s no good for anyone trying to get an education.

There is still time to get involved. You don’t have to devote your whole life to protesting or camp out in Harrisburg. Pick up a pen or sit down at your computer and write a letter to your state legislators.

Chances are likely the person you’re writing to is also the product of a PASSHE school – look where a quality education got him or her. Tell them that you’re looking for the same opportunity to get a good, affordable education so you can be successful too.

This isn’t something students and schools can take lying down. We know that there will have to be cuts. The university was prepared to make sacrifices because everyone needs to in light of the state’s budget problems.

But a decrease as drastic as this will do no good for our futures. Any money seemingly saved in the short term will be lost along with the potential of the great minds that may no longer be able to afford tuition.

Remember that if something isn’t done, you will foot the bill next fall, not only monetarily, but also through decreased quality of life on campus.

Universities will inevitably have to cut non-essential programs that make college the great experience that it is.

Now is not the time to be apathetic. Be a citizen. Representatives listen to their constituents. Get your families involved, too, especially if they’ve been better about going to the polls than you.

If enough of us raise our voices, we will be heard.

National Nutrition Month Expo promotes healthy lifestyle for students By abbey zelko Contributing Writer A.M.Zelko@iup.edu

The Student Dietetics Association (SDA), IUP dietetic interns, and the Food and Nutrition Department will celebrate National Nutrition Month with an expo featuring free food, games, prizes, and fun from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on March 30 in the HUB atrium, in front of the Ohio Room.

According to Lauren Bailey, a dietetic intern, the purpose of the event is “trying to highlight the importance of a healthy lifestyle.”

Many vendors will be present in the HUB atrium such as Turner’s Dairy, Diamond Drugs, Romeo’s Pizza, Sunflower Yoga Studio, Women’s Imaging Center, Heinz, Uptown Fitness and a few others. These vendors will offer free samples and informational brochures. Women’s Imaging Center will provide free bonedensity scans and the representatives from Diamond Drugs will take your blood pressure readings.

There will also be two food demonstrations in the Susquehanna Room, organized by the dietetics interns, at 11:30 a.m. and 1:00 p.m. and free yoga in the Monongahela Room at 12:15 p.m., Bailey said.

Other things to look for are door prizes and raffles at the welcome table and a “Fear Factor” table featuring uncommon fruits and vegetables.

“You will also have an opportunity to ‘ask the experts,’ who are members of the Department of Food and Nutrition and the Aramark registered dietitian,” according to the IUP website.

“National Nutrition Month is a nutrition education and information campaign created annually in March by the American Dietetic Association,” according to eatright.com. “The campaign focuses attention on the importance of making informed food choices and developing sound eating and physical activity habits.”

The theme for March 2011 is “Eat Right with Color.”

Lee Everett (senior, dietetics), the treasurer of the SDA, said that in accordance with this theme, there will be a table with snacks in a variety of colors.

The SDA wants to help college students maintain a healthy lifestyle in a way that is convenient for them.

The National Nutrition Month Expo has been held for several years now and it has been a success, Rachel Knepp (senior,dietetics), president of SDA, said. The SDA plans to sponsor

the event again next year.

“The Student Dietetic Association furthers the learning of students within the majors and minor to promote professionalism through nutrition related activities and familiarizes students with the American Dietetic Association and the Pennsylvania Dietetic Association,” according to the IUP website.

“We try to promote awareness in the IUP community about nutrition and wellness” Everett said.

Knepp has been a part of SDA for three years now, and Everett is finishing out her fourth year.

Members of SDA keep themselves busy throughout the year by participating in a variety of other activities such as Relay for Life and doing bake sales.

According to Everett, they recently raised $94.32 at a bake sale to send to Japan.

Actor/comedian Rob Riggle has been all around the world.

The next stop for him will be Indiana, as The Entertainment Network presents him 6 p.m.

It is because he also goes by Lt. Col. Riggle in the U.S. Marine Corps.

Most know Riggle for his roles in such movies like “The Hangover,” “Step Brothers,” and “The Other Guys,” and television shows such as “Saturday Night Live” and “The Daily Show with John Stewart.”

But most do not know that Riggle is a graduate of the University of Kansas, where he joined the U.S. Marine Corps in 1990 when he was 19. In 1997, he went to New York City while still on active duty to chase his lifelong dream of comedy.

“I always enjoyed comedy,” Riggle said during a phone interview March 22.

Riggle was voted most humorous when he graduated high school and was a theater and film major in while at the University of Kansas.

“All I knew was that I wanted to try [acting] and I had to know if I could do it or not,” RIggle said. “If I tried it and I failed, I could kind of live with that. But it would have been the not trying it that would have killed me.”

“So I tried it and it worked and I started to get a positive reaction and I started to enjoy it more,” he added.

“Of course I would bomb a couple of times, and it would hurt. You question whether or not you made the right decision, but if you love it enough you do it regardless. So I just kept plugging away at it.”

Riggle’s work paid off and has earned him chances to take bookings and act in movies.

His upcoming projects include “Larry Crowne” with Tom Hanks and Julia Roberts, which will be released July 1, and “Everybody Loves Whales,” which he said will either be released November 2011 or the beginning of 2012.

His work also earned him the chance to travel around the world for a different reason, to make people laugh.

African Night gives students chance to see ‘Behind the Scenes’ By kayla king-scott

“[I hope this] event will make people aware of African culture.”

Staff Writer K.S.King-Scott@iup.edu

In 2006, The Pan African Student Association (PASA) was established on IUP’s campus to provide African students with the opportunity to experience, promote, and share African-oriented dance, music, creativity, culture, teach others and unite themselves.

Within the last five years they have followed their constitution by an event known as African Night.

This year African Night will be held from 7-10 p.m. March 26,from 7-10p.m. in both Pratt Auditorium and the HUB Delaware Room.

Two student organizations come together for bonding event By kayla king-scott Staff Writer K.S.King-Scott@iup.edu

“All in the Family” came from the stereotype that Blacks and Latinos are so much alike that they could be cousins.

Hence the event that will hopefully become an annual family reunion.

They both represent two minority cultures on campus and people that came from similar backgrounds.

Through this event, both groups hope to break down barriers that have been put up.

Food is a big part of the event due to its connection to both cultures.

Students can expect

On Sunday, two minority groups, IUP’s National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and Latin American Student Association (LaSO), will come together for the first time under the event “It’s All in the Family.”

The NAACP was established to improve the political, educational, social, and economic status of minority groups.

To avoid inbox overload, file for email bankruptcy By bridget carey McClatchy Newspaper MCT

A messy inbox leads to forgetting correspondence, missing deadlines and possibly offending colleagues.

Don’t spend hours deleting messages in chunks and dissecting subject lines one by one. Instead, file for email bankruptcy. It’s how I tamed the 9,000 messages in my inbox.

Email bankruptcy is the process of walking away from all your past email debt and wiping the slate clean. It means dumping everything from 2010 into a folder, deleting anything older, and restructuring how messages are handled going forward.

I use Outlook, but the concept can be applied to other email systems.

STEP ONE: In Outlook, create a Personal Folder File (a .pst file), and save it in an easy to remember place, such as My Documents. This is a file you’ll want to back up if your computer crashes, so remember where you save it. (There are different instructions on how to do this depending on what version of

Outlook you have, so ask your favorite tech guru or search the phrase “personal folder” in Outlook’s help.)

Name it something easy to remember, like “Overflow 2010.” Once it appears in your list of email in the Outlook sidebar, add another folder inside that you’ll be dragging emails into. I divided mine into two halves, “Jan – June” as one folder, and “July – Dec” as another folder.

STEP TWO: Highlight a month, and dump. Keep repeating until all of 2010 is in this folder.

STEP THREE: Kill the rest.

Highlight anything older and hit delete. Are you really ever going to open any of those emails again? If you have issues letting go, then just follow step two for all of 2009. But please, don’t keep anything older.

There’s no reason for it.

Here comes the griping: “But Bridget, if I delete emails I might lose important contact information.”

As a packrat, I had this same mentality, the “just in case” syndrome.

Those old emails either have outdated information, or you can find that “what if” person again through

LinkedIn or Google.

Going forward, create a folder just for people you want to eventually add into your contact list. Then if you’re too busy at work, just dump emails from a new contact into that folder.

Repeat step one for the first three months of this year. That way, your inbox will be spring fresh, and you can be on your way to keeping it maintained.

STEP FOUR: Time for maintenance. At the end of every workday, delete every message that is not vital to your job. With everything that’s left, use a color system (like Outlook’s colored flags) to organize what you need to address soon. Suggestions: Green for Get it done! Yellow for Yak Back (aka reply) to the person. Blue for Blog it! Whatever zany phrases work for you, stick to it.

At the end of the week, delete the leftovers or file messages away in folders labeled under project topics.

An organized inbox not only helps you feel better at work, but you can respond to issues in a timely manner to avoid embarrassment – and keep out of trouble.

IUP forward Darryl Webb completed his career at IUP after another postseason appearance and was named 2011 Division II Player of the Year by the National Association of Basketball Coaches.

He was also selected to play in the Division II College All-Star Game today in Springfield, Mass., at the Basketball Hall of Fame. Webb is the first IUP athlete given this honor.

Webb has set IUP records with 1,949 points scored, 1,214 rebounds, 708 field goals made, 162 blocked shots and 126 games played.

Webb was selected as the PSAC tournament MVP after the Hawks beat Cal, East Stroudsburg and Slippery Rock where Webb put up 67 points and 24 rebounds.

Some of his other accomplishments include being selected to the NABC and Daktronics All-Atlantic Region first team, Atlantic Region alltournament team, PSAC West Player of the Year and all-conference first team.

The Crimson Hawks’ 26-6 season ended in the NCAA Atlantic Region tournament where West Liberty won the championship game 89-86. Down by 16 points, the Hawks got within two points, but were not able to tie it up. The 89 points West Liberty scored passed the previous highest point total allowed by IUP this season.

For Webb, it was his final game of his career at IUP. He recorded his 54th career double-double by scoring 23 points and 16 rebounds.

Julian Sanders scored 17 points and had four of the team’s 40 total rebounds. He shot four for eight from the 3-point range. Webb and Sanders

However, IUP could not contain West Liberty’s Corey Pelle and Chris Morrow. Pelle scored 23 points and Morrow scored 20 points. West Liberty also had five players in double figures.

Webb finished the season with an average of 17.4 points, 10.1 rebounds per game and shot 49percentfrom the field.

Last year, after a 33-3 season and a trip to Springfield, Mass., to play Cal Poly Pomona in the Men’s Basketball National Championship, Webb was nationally recognized, selected to the NABC and Bulletin All-American team and was the MVP of the Atlantic Region tournament.

Webb was recognized as early as 2008, where he was the PSAC West Freshman of the Year.

Tabtip Louhabanjong won the honor from the conference after her decisive win over Ashland Sunday, which gave the Crimson Hawks a 5-4 victory over the Eagles.

The IUP freshman defeated Ashland’s Tori Goudy at No. 1 singles, 3-6, 7-5, 6-2., after being down 4-0 in the second set.

Let’s hope no more head hits With players like Marc Savard and leave the Penguins without valuable Sidney Crosby being knocked out of players.

Staff Writer M.W.Gruber@iup.ed

Matt Cooke shouldn’t be in the National Hockey League; he should have lived 80 years ago, in the 1930s, where his thuggish behavior and complete lack of remorse would have been tolerated.

Even a stern statement set forth

by Mario Lemieux about the safety of the game and its players, after a brawl in which a hockey game broke out between the Pens and Islanders back on February 11 didn’t get through the thick, semi-toothless skull of Cooke.

Cooke laid a hit on New York Ranger defenseman Ryan McDonagh this past Sunday that resulted in a suspension lasting up to 17 games and will cost Cooke more than $219,000 in salary.

In other words, Cooke is done for the season and the first round of the playoffs, if the Penguins make it.

The flying elbow hit that Cooke landed on McDonagh seemed like something out of a wrestling match, not a hockey game. In fact, it made

a few wrestlers look like Minnie Mouse in comparison.

Cooke’s been here before, having served a four-game suspension already this season along with the hit last season on Marc Savard that led to dramatic rule changes.

I don’t think Cooke is a bad guy.

I think Cooke just needs to learn he doesn’t have to kill somebody in order to establish himself in the NHL. The real problem I have with Cooke acting this way is that it displays a real level of selfishness on his part.

The Penguins are already without stars Sidney Crosby, who likely will not play again this season, as well as Evgeni Malkin, and those two injuries are just the tip of the iceberg. Many more injuries to key players have hampered the team this season.

This team needs all hands on deck if it’s going to first make the playoffs and then have any type of hope for success in the post-season.

It doesn’t need another players out. While guys like Dustin Jeffery have flourished in the opportunity to play with the big guns, those guys can’t and won’t carry the Penguins

to a championship with teams like Philadelphia and Detroit in the mix.

According to an article on ESPN. com, Cooke stated during an interview with the Pittsburgh Post Gazette that he was fortunate that McDonagh wasn’t hurt and that it’s not his intention to hurt anyone.

I guess you have to be your own judge of that quote, because if it’s not his intention, then why does this situation repeatedly find itself in Cooke’s hands? This is his fourth suspension since 2008 when he signed with the Penguins, according to ESPN.com.

Penguins GM Ray Shero supported the suspension saying that that’s exactly the kind of hit they are trying to eliminate from hockey, and that head shots have no place in the game.

Cooke just doesn’t get it, and I doubt he ever will.

I for one would not want to deal with an angry Mario Lemieux, who has made it clear he doesn’t want to see these actions.

He seems like the kind of guy who knows a thing or two about what’s best for hockey.

Comparison of top two receivers in 2011 Draft

By Omar Kelly Sun Sentinel MCT

Georgia’s A.J. Green and Alabama’s Julio Jones are the two top-shelf receivers in the 2011 draft.

Both have been game-changers since stepping onto the field as college freshmen at their SEC programs.

But which of these two rare receivers will have the most productive NFL career?

Production Green: Started 27 of 32 games in his three seasons at Georgia, producing 2,619 receiving yards and 23 touchdowns on 166 catches.

Jones: Started 40 of 40 games in his three seasons at Alabama, producing 2,653 receiving yards and 15 touchdowns on 179 passes.

Strengths Green: He has rare concentration and length, which allows him to routinely catch the ball at its high point.

He regularly produces acrobatic catches.

Jones: Not only is he big (6-foot-4, 220 pounds) and physical, but he runs polished routes and fights through contact after the catch.

Weaknesses Green: He’s not overly sudden, or strong after the catch. He gains separation against shorter defenders, but might struggle against cornerbacks with size and quickness to them.

Jones: His hands are his weakest points. He dropped a number passes because of a lack of concentration, and doesn’t consistently catch the ball with his hands.

Best fit Green: He’s viewed as a sure-fire

MCT Julio Jones recorded 1,133 yards receiving and seven touchdowns during the 2010 season.

top 10 prospect, and receiver-starved teams like Cincinnati (No. 4), Cleveland (No. 6) and Washington (No. 10) will likely guarantee he doesn’t slide. ones: He could slide into the teens because of the broken foot, which will prevent him from conducting private workouts. But there’s a slim chance Jones gets past St. Louis at pick No. 14.

The pick Both Green and Jones have ideal size and speed for their position, but Jones has the toughness that hints he should be able to adjust to the physicality of the NFL more quickly than most rookie receivers.

Auburn deals with depleted roster

By Andy Bitter McClatchy Newspapers MCT

Defensive coordinator Ted Roof answered a question about Auburn’s linebackers but could have just as easily been referring to the rest of the Tigers’ depleted roster.

“Opportunity abounds,” he said, shortly after the team’s first spring practice. “We’ve got opportunity all over the place and everyone’s competing. And it’s going to force everybody to be better.”

It wasn’t a Who’s Who at the first of 15 Auburn spring practices Wednesday.

It was a Who’s That?

In a little over two months since the Tigers capped a perfect 14-0 season by winning the BCS national championship in Glendale Ariz., they’ve seen 34 scholarship players depart from the roster for various reasons.

Twenty-two scholarship seniors graduated, including virtually the entire offensive and defensive lines.

Three star players, quarterback Cam Newton, defensive tackle Nick Fairley and wide receiver Darvin Adams _ submitted their names for the NFL draft a year early.

Five players were dismissed, including H-back Eric Smith, who was arrested for a second time in February, and four others, safety

Mike McNeil, wide receivers Antonio Goodwin and Shaun Kitchens and tight end Dakota Mosley, who admitted involvement in an armed robbery March 11.

And four players who would have had eligibility remaining.

Derek Winter and Philip PierreLouis, tight end Robert Cooper and offensive linemen Andre Harris are no longer on the roster.

Another scholarship player, offensive tackle Roszell Gayden, opted to transfer in the middle of last season and could be counted as a 35th departure.

It leaves the Tigers with 53 scholarship players this spring, including offensive lineman Shon Coleman, who won’t participate after undergoing treatment for cancer last year.

That means dozens of unfamiliar faces filling new roles.

“It’s not that there’s new guys on the team. It’s that there’s guys who have been here for only a year,” said tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen, a veteran at the ripe old age of 19. “They’re getting an opportunity to make plays and step up and show the coaches what they can do and they need to take full advantage of that.”

It will make for an unusual monthlong stretch of practices.

Simply glancing at the Tigers’ stretching lines, which are usually led by veteran players, shows Auburn’s turnover. Of the 12 groups, five were led by seniors, only two of which

were starters last year. Five were led by juniors and two by sophomores.

The turnover also means Auburn’s coaches will likely spend more time this spring getting back to basics.

During a simple wide receivers drill at the start of Wednesday’s practice, coach Trooper Taylor scolded those players who he thought weren’t paying attention to something as elementary as looking the ball into their hands.

“Some of y’all are just going through the motions,” he barked. “I can tell those of you who played and those of you who haven’t.”

“The standard will be high, but at the same time as a coach we’re going to have to be a little patient,” offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn said.

“We’re going to be an inexperienced team but we have some options.”

The challenge for the coaches will be slowing down to teach an inexperienced group without lowering expectations.

“I want us to expect to be good and expect to be great, but we’ve got a lot of work to do before that happens,” said Roof, who stood in during post-practice interviews for an ill Gene Chizik. “Last year is so far in the rearview mirror.”

Roof’s message to the players is simple.

“Let’s get better every day,” he said. “Because it’s in them. We’ve got some talented guys. They’re just very inexperienced.”

MCT Jim Harbaugh left Stanford to become the new head coach of the San Francisco 49ers.

New NFL head coaches to feel most effects from lockout

By Paul Domowitch Philadelphia Daily News MCT

Imagine the frustration the league’s eight new head coaches must be feeling as the labor standoff starts to gobble up their all-important offseason prep time.

But for the 49ers’ Jim Harbaugh, the Browns’ Pat Shurmur and the Panthers’ Ron Rivera, this lockout could be an absolute disaster if it drags on into the late spring and early summer or beyond.

How do you get acquainted with your players and put your stamp on the locker room when your players are barred from your facility and you can’t even speak to them if you bumped into them on the street? “Everybody seems to agree that (the lockout) is a disadvantage for first-year coaches,�

Harbaugh said Tuesday at the coaches’ media breakfast at the NFL meetings. “It probably is.

But we’ll find a way to overcome it.

quarterback is a helluva coach.

He proved that at Stanford when he turned the Harvard of the West into a near national champion.

His hiring was the first smart thing the Niners have done in years. But if the lockout drags on into the summer, he’s going to need to be more than a helluva coach. He’s going to need to be a miracle worker.

Clearly, teams with established coaching staffs and veteran rosters are going to have a distinct advantage if there is a protracted lockout.

If you assume that most of their players will spend more time in a gym than a Five Guys, they will be a lot more gameready than Harbaugh’s Niners or Rivera’s Panthers or Shurmur’s Browns.

The Browns were supposed to start their offseason workout program on March 14, which was three days after the players union decertified and the league imposed the lockout.

If the lockout wipes out minicamps and OTAs, the first time Shurmur will see many of his players will be when they report to training camp, whenever that will be. “I think I’m going to have to catch up in some ways,� he admitted. “I don’t know about the advantages and disadvantages (of being a new coach in this situation). “Every team is going to have to deal with some scheduling problems (if the lockout lingers). I’m trying not to think about it. I’m just planning and replanning as time goes by. It’s somewhat of a dynamic calendar right now.�

You spend your whole career trying to get one of these 32 NFL head-coaching jobs, and then, when you finally land one of them, you walk into the middle of a freaking labor war.

If you feel moody or grumpy, get lost somewhere beautiful. Release your artistic talents to grow your health and well-being.

Your shrewd wit could inspire laughter. Or you could just complain and lose your audience. Consider the art of communication, with yourself as an artist.

Your cleverness is paying off at work, as you contribute with competence and skill. Play with it.

Defuse your cleverness by being willing to laugh at yourself.

Cleverly addressing basic ideas can propel a young group to action. Use sense of humor, artistic talent and affection to keep them inspired.

Share your wonderful stories.

Keep a sense of humor, especially in traffic.

Stress has a direct cost to health. If you get annoyed or frustrated, look for the ridiculous, hilarious irony of the situation.

Your intelligence, talent and common sense leads to an increase in income, as long as you maintain your open attitude. Avoid arguments for best health.

Your cleverness and practicality are obvious.

Your sharp wit hides, couched in moodiness.

Meditate on something beautiful for a lighter spirit.

Be willing to push your own artistic boundaries as they unfold. It’s a good day to focus entirely on a project. Come up for air and conversation later.

Go out with friends and discover a new art gallery, a new restaurant, a new trail, a new movie.

Feed your soul. Try something new. Play together around beauty.

Your common sense view of a past incident gets everyone laughing.

Play the temperamental artist role, but remember that you’re just playing.

It’s as if you’re wearing rose-colored glasses, and life comes at you in full-color 3-D action.

Go ahead, keep them on. Productivity soars at work. Don’t take yourself too seriously.
