SGA meets, discusses student concerns By Kat Oldrey News Editor K.E.Oldrey@iup.edu
SGA members discussed student concerns at their fourth meeting of the semester Tuesday, Oct. 12. Michael Lemasters, a former SGA adviser, spoke to members about the upcoming housing lottery, asking them for help in reminding other students to sign up. He said that the administration was trying to avoid a repeat of last year’s server crash and housing debacle. “We’re not going through that again,” he said. “We don’t want to have that happen. We have it structured, we have it spaced out over time.” He also spoke of the food service labor unrest of last spring semester. There are currently two unions involved with the IUP Aramark contract, and Aramark will not negotiate until the matter is settled and there is a single union representative to negotiate with. “We’re waiting for the two unions to decide who is going to represent the Aramark workers at IUP,” he said. “I’m not telling you you won’t hear any more unrest.” The surplus in student fees was also discussed. The Student Co-op has committed a certain amount of money to the IUP pension plan, and some of those funds are from the student activity fee.
When the pension plan required more funding, the student activity fee was raised to accommodate this increase in cost and another future hypothetical increase. This has resulted in a yearly surplus of $720,000. Between $40,000 and $50,000 will be taken directly from that sum to cover any losses, but the rest is available for student organizations to apply for funding from. The SGA has members appointed to the Finance Committee of the IUP Student Co-op Association Board of Directors in the interest of representing the students. These appointees moved to defer at least 75 percent of these monies until student organizations were able to apply for them. Members attending were informed about the upcoming House of Representatives meeting on Oct. 21 in the HUB Ohio Room. Each recognized student organization is required to send a representative. SGA vice president Andrew Longacre presented information on the change in library hours. The library used to close at 2 a.m., but now closes at 11:45 p.m.; this decision was made by observing attendance patterns in the library around midnight and 1 a.m. Due to the general student dissatisfaction with this decision, SGA members will try to get the hours changed back.
However, Longacre said that “the decision to change the library hours was not made lightly.” SGA president David Bivens announced that applications are currently being accepted for the 2011-2013 student trustee seat, and encouraged SGA members to apply if they were eligible. Following the general announcements, members began to discuss SGA business. Members were given copies of the current SGA Constitution and its revised form, and were instructed to look them over and be ready to propose any amendments at the meeting in two weeks. The bylaws were then brought up for ratification. Rules Chair Zack Stayman proposed giving the president the power to appoint a “special assistant,” someone to whom the president could delegate responsibilities. After some debate, it was voted down; members felt that it was redundant and unnecessary. The bylaws were ratified, after members were reminded that this was only the first round of revision, and more changes could be made later in the year. Public Relations committee chair Jen Krastin announced an upcoming SGA logo contest. Students will be able to enter their designs for a new SGA logo. More details are forthcoming. “We want a new image for SGA,” Krastin said.

Stephen Skinner discusses being ‘Out in Rural America’ during most recent Six O’Clock Series By JEFF BRUNERMER Staff Writer J.C.Brunermer@iup.edu
Co-sponsored by the GLBT (Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual, and Transgender) Commission and Pride Alliance, the Six O’Clock Series welcomed Stephen Skinner. Skinner shared his personal and professional perspectives on gay life in rural America. With his presentation “Out in Rural America,” Skinner spends a lot of his time lobbying for gay rights in West Virginia. “I went to a small college where there were only two people out [of the closet] and one was not me,” said Stephen Skinner. “I spent a lot of pain trying to hide it.” He is the founder and president of Fairness West Virginia, as well as a trial lawyer and civil rights advocate. “I often get the craziest questions from elected officials,” he said. “A lot of them live in bubbles.” The Six O’Clock Series kicked off National Coming Out Week. Skinner talked about the difficulty of coming out and how crucial it is in someone’s life. “There are degrees of outness,” Skinner said. “You spend a little of your time throughout your whole life coming out.” Skinner spent a good part of the Six O’Clock Series explaining his outing. He talked about how he told his parents. In the end, his parents were relieved to hear that he wasn’t in trouble or sick. “We were so worried that you

were hurt or something,” Skinner quoted his parents. “It was a relief to hear you were gay.” Although his story was light and humorous, he reminded the crowd of how dangerous it can be for some people.
He explained how if a person hasn’t come out yet, that it’s important to consider if it’s the proper thing to do. He gave the example of how some people, who rely on their parents in school, may not want to tell them just yet.

Students advised on breast cancer prevention By MEGAN GUZA Managing Editor M.S.Guza@iup.edu
Coinciding with National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the Center for Health and Well-Being sponsored a “Breast Cancer and the Environment” presentation that was held Tuesday in the HUB Susquehanna Room. Sue Majoris, a women’s health nurse advocator at the Indiana Regional Medical Center, spoke about environmental factors that can increase the risk of breast cancer. “Established factors for breast cancer make up only 50 percent of cancer cases that are diagnosed,” she said. “There is a more general consensus that the other 50 percent is environmental.” In the past 50 years, the incidence of breast cancer in women over a lifetime has risen from one in 22 to one in seven. “That’s a big change in 50 years,” she said. “And it’s continuing to change.” Majoris spent the hour-long presentationin detailing the ways in which controllable factors can and are contributing to the rise in breast cancer cases. Pesticides and heavy metals are the obvious ones. But the electromagnetic fields from power lines and electrical appliances can also increase one’s risk. Microwaving food in plastic containers also poses risks, as the plastic contains chemicals that can leech into
and contaminate food. There is currently no law in the United States requiring companies to test chemicals for their effect on humans. “We are all the victims of the environment,” Majoris said. “For your generation it’s going to be work. We’re out of control,” she added. Majoris encouraged students to make changes in their lives in order to lower their controllable risk factors. She asked students to read the labels of their personal care products, from shampoo to deodorant, to check for harmful chemicals. The website safecosmetics.org, she said, gives safety ratings to the major brands of personal care products on the market. “Plan for the next 20 years,” she said. “I’m giving you a long time to do this. Change your personal lifestyle.” “There’s probably lead in your eyeliner and mascara,” she told students. “Start looking at your products,” she said. “Pick the ones you use on a daily basis. Look at how much you use plastic wrap. Look at what you microwave your food in. Do the best you can. Do little steps at a time. “You’ll feel better. You’ll see changes.” She encouraged students to pursue knowledge and to not stop asking questions. “I think the most important thing is for you to care enough about yourself to change things a little bit at a time.”

Pandora Boxx performs, speaks about sexuality By Keri Durrett Staff Writer K.D.Durrett@iup.edu

E.C.O conducts trash audits By John Boddington Staff Writer J.M.Boddington@iup.edu
On Monday, the campus trashcans were being scanned to make sure things were disposed of as efficiently as possible. Whether or not any of us want to discuss it, climate changes are occurring on our planet. It is the goal of the Environmentally Conscious Organization (E.C.O) to help slow down and possibly stop these climate shifts by properly recycling and disposing of trash. “We need to get administrators and politicians to recognize the need for change and because they won’t listen to one person, we all need to work together to prove that we can make this happen,” Ashley Joa said (co-committee leader, physics). Along with Joa, Rachel DeStefano (co-committee leader, biology) was mainly in charge of organizing the event. The committee meets every Thursday at 7 p.m. in 232 Keith Hall. Meetings last generally one hour, and the 20 members are busy working on their current project or planning the next one. New members are always encouraged and welcome to attend. The event was a part of the worldwide event known as 10/10/10. The day is geared toward making people aware of the climate changes and to make the planet ‘greener.’
Individuals involved took the day to plant gardens, install solar panels in various places, plant trees, and much more. This event was created in 2007. With long hours of preparation, the event began to take shape. “We had a lot of organizing, planning, preparing, and bottle washing to do,” Joa said. “We had to get volunteers to go through campus trash, put together a guide for them, conduct the audits, and then do things with the recyclables we collected. We needed to find a way to display them, carry them across campus to the oak grove, and then prepare them for being recycled afterward, which means sorting and washing.” To advertise for this day, E.C.O spent very little money and conserved resources by using both sides of their fliers to advertise. Although the university as a whole needs to improve on its recycling methods, individual students seem to make a conscious effort to help Mother Earth. “On occasion, when I am home from school and I am collecting the trash, I will pick up any visible plastic and dispose of it properly; knowing that it could be harmful if not picked up,” Teresa Gebhart (freshman, nursing) said. “Here at school, they have bins labeled constructed cardboard, plastic, etc. I am not going to waste my time sorting through my garbage, but instead just throw it all in the main garbage bin.”

Presented by Pride Alliance, Pandora Boxx, noted drag queen and Ru Paul’s Drag Race contestant, performed Storm Large’s “Eight Miles Wide” and answered questions Tuesday in Pratt Auditorium. After her performance, Boxx was met by a barrage of applause as she lounged on a couch and took questions from the audience. Boxx tackled questions about her sexuality, her experiences on Ru Paul’s Drag Race, and the teasing which led her to the brink of suicide. In response to her feelings about the gay teenagers who have recently taken their lives, Boxx said “I think it’s really sad that these young men would kill themselves, but it also makes me mad because they thought that suicide was the only way out. There are so many other outlets — there’s the Trevor Project and Facebook and Manhunt…” The tone of Pandora’s message was upbeat. She often answered serious questions with an air of tactful playfulness. Pandora Boxx, born Michael Steck, grew up in a small town that did not understand or accept his desire to wear dresses. “It wasn’t until late in my life that I heard the word ‘gay’ and I thought
— gay! I get it! I can be that, and it’s fabulous!” Boxx said. Boxx stated that there was a lot of negativity toward drag queens because they are the most prominent members of the GLBT culture. “When you walk down the street dressed like a lady people yell things like ‘Hey, you’re a dude!’ and you say things like, ‘Oh my god, thanks! I didn’t know!” she said. Boxx had a lot to say about societal constructs. She thinks that drag is so important because it breaks down the barriers between homosexuals and heterosexuals. “Women don’t come out of the womb wearing lip gloss, so who is to say that a man can’t wear a dress Contributed Photo and look fabulous?” Boxx said.

Networks dig into banal between rescues By Kerry Dougherty The Virginian-Pilot (Norfolk, Va.) MCT
It was riveting reality TV. The main characters were tough guys. Their situation was life-threatening. And the ending? Well, jubilant. We’re talking, of course, about live news coverage of the 33 Chilean miners who were rescued after 69-70 days underground. They began surfacing just before midnight Tuesday with the whole world – minus one person – watching. More about her in a minute. So what did we learn from this drama? We learned that miners really are not like the rest of us. They can eat just a few bites of tuna fish every day for more than two weeks and live. Not only that, but they can survive a catastrophic mine collapse and emerge smiling. We also learned that the pacing of a mine rescue is simply too slow for cable TV networks. If only the rescuers had revved up that winch a bit, news shows wouldn’t have been stuck trying to fill those long intervals between miner arrivals. Take CNN, for instance.This week proved that nothing is too banal for that network.
The low point may have come when host Don Lemon attempted to keep the audience tuned in – as they waited for the arrival of Miner 23 – by promising to be right back from a commercial break with “a look at the sunglasses they’ve been given.” Seems the cool shades each miner was wearing when he emerged into the sunshine (or, weirdly, the dark) retail for 180 bucks and were donated by Oakley. “A good deed by Oakley,” Lemon gushed, fondling a pair the Californiabased company had apparently sent him. “Thank you for doing that.” This was almost as dull as an earlier spot that featured a rep from the Pennsylvania company that manufactured drill bits used in the rescue. Or the interview with a former astronaut who – to his credit – resisted CNN’s best effort to compare a stint in the International Space Station with being trapped in a stinking hole half a mile underground. Then there were updates from reporter Patrick Oppmann, who was stationed outside the hospital where the miners were being taken. Lacking any medical news, he reported that the road between the mine and the hospital had been closed to traffic. Useful to Chilean desert commuters I suppose, but not so much for the rest of the

viewing audience. Next, he showed off a cheesy banner with pictures of the miners that he’d bought from a street vendor for $2. Things briefly picked up about 3:30 Wednesday afternoon, when Miner 21, Yonni Barrios, was strapped into the Phoenix capsule. He was the two-timing man whose wife and mistress discovered each other in the days after the collapse. “No one is perfect,” intoned one CNN talking head. According to news reports, Barrios’ wife, Marta Salinas, heard the other woman wailing Yonni’s name during a prayer vigil. Next thing you know, Red Cross workers had to step in and prevent a fight. When Barrios was hoisted to the surface, his mistress was waiting for him. His wife, who’d vowed not to watch, was not. “I’m happy because he was saved,” Salinas said earlier. “It’s a miracle from God. But I won’t attend the rescue [...] I have decency. This is very clear. It’s her or me.” Enough already. The Chilean mine rescue was a compelling story of stoicism, bravery and human endurance. But during the lulls in the action, they should have spared us the manufactured drivel and cut to something else. We weren’t going anywhere.
The aftermath By Sean Bracken Senior Staff Writer S.M.Bracken@iup.edu
Pretend you were a host for an IUPTV show and decided to profile me about my work at The Penn. While conducing the interview, you decided to ask me about what article ended up causing me the biggest headache. My Oct. 1 column “Same old, same old” would come to my mind, where I decided to take on the Student Government Association because I felt it wasn’t doing enough to be the voice for students. I went on to criticize SGA President David Bivens (senior, political science) and Vice President Andrew Longacre (sophomore, safety sciences) because I felt they could do a better job at giving students a voice with the direction of the university. Needless to say, most of SGA turned out not to be too happy with me. In fact, if you were interviewing me, I would say the end result ended up with leading SGA members and me no longer communicating with each other. I also would predict that communication won’t be opening up between us anytime soon. Still, I felt I had to write this column because I wanted to see students involved and to see SGA begin to be the voice that addresses the student’s needs. In both cases, my column worked to perfection. SGA has become better organized and released the time, date and place of the meetings, which was published in Oct. 8’s issue of The Penn. E-mails were also sent Monday to SGA members about Tuesday’s meeting. SGA deserves credit for their organization in putting these meetings together. In my opinion, that is the
beginning framework in how it will become more efficient in addressing other students’ needs. I am hopeful that SGA will also work to revamp their website and become more active on social media like Facebook and Twitter. Another thing my column ended up doing was getting me feedback about student involvement. One of those students was Daniel Gennaro (junior, communications media) who sent me an e-mail thanking me for writing that column. He said the student’s voice has been “stuck in the mud,” referencing how the administration has ignored what students have wanted. In his e-mail, he said students have not been the priority of the administration on issues, like from ignoring the proposal to construct a multicultural center. Yet, this didn’t stop the administration from moving forward with a massive $270 million residential revival project, which was nothing more than a move to “PR” the image of the campus. While it is true that this project was through the Foundation for IUP, the administration still could have used that same $270 million to improve academics, which is what I thought we all came here for. As Gennaro said in his e-mail, “where are IUP’s priorities?” This is where I feel SGA should come in. I believe they are the organization that should come forward with our concerns and figure out where IUP’s priorities are. Students do need to be more interested, but Gennaro is right. It is up to SGA and The Penn to reach out to students to get them more involved. If good can come out of that column, then maybe it won’t end up being the headache it started out as.

Opinion
q Penn editorial
Letters to the editor The Indiana Borough Police Department takes much abuse from college students on campus and off campus, however, I feel that the feeling towards the Department is rude and disrespectful. The Borough Police Department gets a bad rap for doing what is right and needs to be done. The consumption of alcohol by minors is going continue to happen like it has at the University for years, and the Police are doing a good job of keeping it under control this year. I’ve noticed the amount of police
officers go up in a large number this year, from State, Campus, and Borough Police. The fact is they needed to do this to keep the Borough of Indiana County under control and keeping the law above everything else. If students decide to drink underage they know the consequences for doing so could end them up with a mark on their records. Having the police on bikes, foot, and vehicles has kept the County much safer this year. Although you still read all the
illegal acts of students and members of the community every week in The Penn, it has noticeably gone down and through my eyes off campus it seems to be more under control then I’ve seen in the last year. Thank you to the officers for keeping things under control, and well kept on and off campus thus far this year. Without them doing their job in whatever weather we have the well being of students would be at risk every night they go out.
A hot topic on the IUP campus is next year’s housing “lottery.” At first it sounded so ridiculous to me that I thought it was just a rumor, until I heard a CA speaking about it. Since freshmen have to live on campus unless they live within commuter distance, they are guaranteed housing, but upperclassmen are not. Instead of signing up for housing and receiving it at a first come first serve basis as usual, when a student signs up they will pay the housing fee and their name will be put in the lottery; if they are lucky enough they will be chosen for a room, if not they
will be out of housing and the money they spent on the housing fee and contract. Even if you are selected, you can’t choose the type of room you get or your roommate if you have one in mind. I know for me personally I don’t want to risk getting an undesirable room or not getting housing at all, so I will most likely not even bother and attempt to find off-campus housing. I highly doubt that I will be able to afford anything that my financial aid won’t cover, therefore I will have a hard time finding a place to live. I know for sure that I can’t afford
anything that requires monthly rent. I won’t be able to work enough with my class schedule to support myself and pay rent every single month. If it just so happens that I cannot find a place that I can afford then I will be forced to move back home and transfer to a school within commuter distance. I’m sure that I am not the only one who will be faced with this dilemma. I don’t see how this new system makes things any easier, whoever signs up first should get housing first.
Members of the IUP community, please join me in expressing gratitude to the members of Greek Life and the recognized student organizations who contributed to our 2010 Homecoming celebration. Several hundred members from various chapters of Greek Life and recognized student organizations spent more than two weeks and several thousand dollars constructing the floats that are the mainstay of the Homecoming parade. These students give of their time through hours spent building and pomping and they also give financially; the floats receive no funding through the university or private donations. Too frequently the publicity of Greek Life highlights the negative decisions made by a minority of their members while the majority of the positive community building
contributions made by others receive little attention. Through working with the Homecoming parade over the past few years, I have come to work closer with Greek Life and enjoyed seeing the contributions made through many excellent IUP students. Each year members of Greek Life raise thousands of dollars for local charities such as the Indiana Free Library. They engage in local health awareness activities such as the current pink ribbons in the Oak Grove for breast cancer awareness. Members of Greek Life support university events through attending Six O’clock Series, handing out water on move-in day, and serving as hosts/ushers for countless other events. They support the IUP community at IUP Day and enjoy cheering the performance of other recognized
student organizations such as Voices of Joy and Ritmo Latino Dance Club. Local community events such as the Hawk Walk are also beneficiaries of Greek Life involvement. It has been my pleasure to work with the various chapter/organization Homecoming representatives throughout the process of planning and building the Homecoming floats. Thank you to each of you who gave of yourselves to plan, draw, purchase, load, carry, build, cut, hammer, screw, staple, bend, pomp, spray, lift, cheer, and clean-up after the amazing floats in the 2010 IUP Homecoming Parade.

Cancer is scary, because we still don’t have all the answers about how a person gets it, nor do we have a definite cure for any of the many types of cancer that affect us. Breast cancer strikes many people, and according to the American Cancer Society, there are about 40,000 US breast cancer deaths each year. An event this week presented the connection between the environment and breast cancer instances, and many of the possible links – cosmetics, plastic containers, microwaves – are staples of college life. It’s terrifying to think that your eyeliner could potentially lead to a breast cancer diagnosis down the road. We tend to not think or even know about the many things that might be linked to causing cancer; sometimes it seems like the list changes every day. But frustration aside, making positive, healthy lifestyle choices can prevent unnecessary exposure to things that could harm your health now and lead to cancer later. Many college women also aren’t thinking about breast exams – they’re not just for your mom and grandma. The ACS recommends women in their 20s get clinical breast exams at least every three years, and that they are also educated about and perform self-exams. Sure, these exams can be awkward, but early detection is incredibly important. IUP students are taking a stand and their showing support for those affected by breast cancer. Many campus organizations deserve to be commended for raising awareness about breast cancer risks amongst their peers. The pink ribbons in the Oak Grove might remind someone to schedule an appointment for a breast exam, or to do a self-exam at home. Breast cancer is a national concern – it wouldn’t need an awareness month if it weren’t a serious issue. By putting a local face to this problem, it is likely that members of our community will be empowered to advocate for their health and fight back against breast cancer.

IUP provides chance for students’ work to shine By john boddington Staff Writer J.M.Boddington@iup.edu
Presented at different times and with different goals and opportunities, the three main student publications at IUP give the chance for students’ work to be displayed. The first publication is known as “The Twenty-Sixth.” This is a publication that, up until last year, was a part of the Political Science Students Leadership Committee. Run by advisor Dr. Sitton, an editor in chief, a lead editor, and several general editors, this organization is now a separate group. “This year we have 10 editors, which is four more than we had last year. It is very exciting that so many students are interested in this publication,” editor in chief Kierstin Bolton said. Supporting this organization financially, the political science department pays for “The Twenty-Sixth” to be printed each and every year. Students are highly encouraged to submit their work for publication; all submitted papers must be related to political science or international studies. “The deadline is Nov. 1. we will, however, continue to accept pieces until Tuesday, Feb. 1,” Bolton said. Before the final deadline, Bolton and other editors are hoping that an increase in students’ submissions will occur. “Currently we have no limit on how many papers we publish. Last year, ‘The Twenty-Sixth’ published five pieces, and this year we are hoping to at least double that amount,” Bolton said. During this entire process, Bolton and other members have bi-monthly meetings in Keith Hall. For about an hour, members discuss what papers to accept, positive aspects of the pieces, how the author can improve his or her work.
Each paper goes through peer review. Along with “The Twenty-Sixth,” two other publications are “The Endnote” and “The New Growth Arts Review.” “The Endnote” is the official history journal. This publication gives students in a field pertaining to history a chance to share their findings and gain recognition for their work. This publication is here for undergraduate and graduate students. Some policies for submission are as follows: First, undergraduate students cannot submit any manuscript exceeding 5,000 words; graduate students may not exceed 7,000 words. Second, the manuscripts must be typed on Microsoft Word or WordPerfect. Third, writers must include their e-mail addresses as contact information when submitting. The final publication that is available to students and their written work is “The New Growth Arts Review.” Serving as the literary magazine for the campus, this publication prints students’ poems, short stories, artwork and photography. Unlike “The Endnote,” students, staff and faculty can submit work. For their guidelines, one must not include his or her name on anything but the cover sheet. Students, staff, and faculty can only submit three pieces per volume of the publication. Two typed copies are required and will not be returned. Students are advised to hold on to the originals. There is no projected length required for any written pieces, however, it is stated that longer pieces may have a harder time being put in the issue. Their deadline is March 17. Submissions may be placed in the boxes outside room 113 of Leonard Hall.

Inexperience one of many issues with young IUP defense By Vaughn Johnson Editor In Chief V.M.Johnson@iup.edu
A week ago this time, IUP was coming off of two consecutive shutouts from its defense. What a difference a week makes. A week later, the defense is still the main topic of discussion when talking about IUP football, but for all of the wrong reasons. The Crimson Hawks (4-2, 2-1) will host Clarion (1-2, 1-5) 1 p.m. Saturday at George P. Miller Stadium in hopes of rebounding from an embarrassing 28-27 last-second loss to Mercyhurst on Homecoming. IUP’s defense gave up 344 yards passing to quarterback Trevor Rearick who was making his first start on the college level. Rearick’s start caught the IUP coaching staff off guard and admittedly confused them on how to adjust to his ability. “To Mercyhurst’s credit, the new quarterback [Trevor Rearick] did different things and we just didn’t adjust to the passing game,” Tepper said during his weekly press conference Tuesday morning. Mercyhurst used a sprint pass to move the ball down the field against the IUP defense and gave the Hawks a number of problems, but Tepper attributed those problems to the secondary still learning as it goes along through the season. “We still got first-year guys in the secondary,” Tepper said. “I mean, Tobias [Robinson] is one of the older
guys; this is the first year that he’s played.” “Mike Scott, God bless him, I mean he’s learning on the run, so every week is something different for him,” he added. “We really felt good about what we had prepared for what he had seen before. As soon as things changed, he didn’t become as talented a player.” Mark Jackson is the most consistent of the defensive backs, according to Tepper. Despite the beating the secondary took from Mercyhurst, no changes will be made to the personnel in the secondary against Clarion, and they will execute the same scheme the Crimson Hawks already have in place. “Doing less is better for us than doing more,” Tepper said. The offense had an up and down day against Mercyhurst. The running game had its usual dominant performance, with Harvie Tuck carrying the ball 27 times for 160 yards. “The running game has been our strength, but we have to play a lot better defense to exist with a loaded passing game or we have to be able to throw it better,” Tepper said. The passing game looked good at times, with two touchdowns from quarterback Bo Napoleon, but eventually sputtered as he only completed seven of 18 attempts for 121 yards and two interceptions. Tepper attributed the passing struggles to the injuries to the receiving corps — not allowing Napoleon to get on the same page with them. According to Tepper, Mychal Skinner only logged 16 plays against

Brock Fleeger/The Penn Robinson (22) and the IUP defense gave up 344 yards passing during the 28-27 loss to Mercyhurst Saturday.
Mercyhurst after he caught a 68-yard touchdown pass on the first play from scrimmage, reaggravated his ankle and sat the rest of the game. Skinner could possibly play Saturday, but did not practice Monday. Fellow receiver Javon Rowan was declared doubtful as of Tuesday, further depleting the receiving corps. The IUP defense will have to deal
with a new quarterback for the second week in a row against Clarion in Indiana native Ben Fiscus. Tepper has a history with Fiscus and his family, as he recruited Fiscus during his senior season at Indiana High School and even goes to church with Fiscus’ parents. “He made his choice for whatever reason, and he’s an exceptional guy,”
Tepper said. “I certainly don’t have any hard feelings about him at all. I think he’s a great kid.” Fiscus replaced Eric Coxson at quarterback who only threw three touchdowns and nine interceptions. Fiscus, who is known as a option quarterback, and not a passing one, played most of the game against Lock Haven and completed all 16 of his attempts for 187 yards and four touchdowns, which helped Clarion win its first game of the season 49-6. His performance earned him PSAC Offensive Player of the Week. “Ben [Fiscus] gives them something electric on offense now,” Tepper said. “I wish they had made that change a couple of weeks from now.” Clarion started the season losing its first five games, but Tepper believes with Fiscus at the helm, the Golden Eagles are a completely different team. “You can throw the first four games out the window,” Tepper said about Clarion. “They are distinctly a different team, much better team since they changed their quarterback.” The IUP defense will also have to worry about pint-sized running back Alfonso Hoggard who is the eighthbest rusher in the PSAC and ran all over the IUP defense for 164 yards during Clarion’s 30-28 win over IUP last season. Clarion will also challenge IUP’s secondary with receiver Jacques Robinson, who has 33 receptions, 403 yards and three touchdowns.

Bloomsburg shocks IUP in overtime By Damon BOykiw
By Alycia King A.L.King@iup.edu Staff Writer
IUP’s Rifle Club meets from 6-7 p.m. every Tuesday and Wednesday in the Pierce Hall shooting range. The Rifle Club was a varsity sport until 1993, when the university cut several sports. After a four-year lay off, the club picked up speed again in 2007 and became recognized as a club. “We take anybody,” said Julie Vavreck, club president and captain. “We will start you out at the basic level, and we’ll move you up. The more energy you put into it, the more we’ll put into you.” About 18 people call themselves members right now, but more are always welcome.

The IUP women’s soccer team was stunned Tuesday in an overtime loss to Bloomsburg, 1-0. The loss came on the heels of a stellar week, which saw goalkeeper Kelly Brennan named PSAC co-Player of the Week, in honor of her performance in back to back shutouts against Mercyhurst and Gannon. PSACsports.org lists IUP as tied for fifth place in the conference and cites Brennan as a key reason for this. The seventh-place ranking is a regional ranking derived from the NSCAA coaches’ poll, and, unlike the official PSAC rankings, does not have any bearing on playoff eligibility. Tuesday’s game was a contest between two of the conference’s great goalkeepers, both of whom went scoreless during regulation. IUP attempted seven shots to Bloomsburg’s 15. Melissa Kornick had most of the shots for IUP, with a total of three. Brennan, a junior, had another shutout in the 90 minutes of regulation, however, the offense was not able to get anything past her counterpart in the Huskies’ net, Frances Nicoletti. Nicoletti, also a junior, tallied her
IUP Rifle Club open to new recruits When competitions come around, Vavreck drives a rental van and serves as travel coach. Back in April, the Rifle Club went to Purdue to compete in the National Rifle Association’s National Championship. The team took third place aggregate score, or combined score. “The fact that I can get in there and help other people learn how to shoot is awesome to me. We never thought we would get as far as we have,” Vavreck said. Rifle Club continues to take aim and fire toward another appearance at the National Championship. Anyone interested should contact Julie Vavreck, or simply show up at one of the meetings. Remember, no experience is required.
