Amy Franceschi/The Penn Dr. Michael Mascolo compared holistic and compartmentalized outlooks.
Psychology colloquium analyzes discipline By shane craker Staff Writer S.B.Craker@iup.edu
Dr. Michael Mascolo spoke against the “psychology of nouns” in a presentation Friday, Nov. 12. He discussed a holistic study of psychology, or one that takes into account the entire person. The colloquium lasted approximately an hour, with a question and answer section following. Mascolo is a professor of psychology at Merrimack College. Mascolo opened his presentation with the table of contents of a 100-level psychology book. He called attention to how segmented the book was, with separate chapters on development, the senses and social interactions. Mascolo claimed that psychologists were not combining these parts effectively into a holistic discipline. He also addressed the holistic paradox. This paradox states that one can never fully understand something in all complexity in any single study. But he said that psychologists have many methods at their disposal, and seek to solve problems with these methods instead of finding new methods to solve new problems. He made the metaphor that these psychologists “have a screwdriver and are just running around looking for screws.” Mascolo then constructed a psychological human. “Persons act as processes,” he believes, and if a psychologist could understand these processes and how they interact, it could go a long way in advancing the discipline. He described the theory he
has regarding how emotion and motor function come together to dictate action, and how it is influenced by things outside of the sole actor. For his example, he grabbed a cup of water. He stated he was thirsty, so he was going to take a sip of water. He used his motor movements to bring the cup to his mouth, and took a sip. “But the cup is also acting on me.” he said, in that it touches his mouth. Mascolo then said that of equal importance was the social context in which he took the sip of water. It would have been rude for him to drink the whole thing, so he was restricted to a sip. To this degree, Mascolo stated that psychologists cannot just study people. They need to study the interaction between them and the social and cultural contexts of the situation. Although he is not a therapist, Mascolo had several suggestions for how therapists should conduct their sessions through a series of differentiation, conflict and integration. Therapists should find conflicting behavior, use their tools to help the patient differentiate between them and eventually integrate the new behavior for developmental growth. This pattern would need to be done several times. Mascolo concluded his presentation and opened the floor for a discussion. The audience members asked him various questions, such as what he thought of the media or video games and how they could be applied to education. “We’re going to hell in a hand basket,” he replied.

Graphic design guest speaker offers advice By MEGAN GUZA Managing Editor M.S.Guza@iup.edu
Students interested in graphic design had a chance to hear about the real world from one of their recently graduated peers Friday afternoon in the graphics lab of Sprowls Hall. Ashley Golen, a 2010 graduate of the IUP art department, spoke to students about her job search, interviews, and the work she does at both of her current jobs. While she currently does freelance work for both American Eagle and Branding Brand – a design company that works with clients – she told students that jobhunting is not always an easy task. “I’m not going to lie,” she Ida Arici/The Penn said. “Looking for a job right now is Ashley Golen spent almost $1,400 on preparing her portfolio and other materials. terrible.

New social network limits users to 50 friends By jessica guynn Los Angeles Times MCT
Evolutionary anthropologist Robin Dunbar has a famous theory that the number of people with whom one can maintain a close relationship is limited to 150 by the size of the neocortex, the part of the brain used for conscious thought and language. The Internet has made it quicker and easier to connect with farflung friends and acquaintances, but Dunbar says it’s impossible to overcome that basic brain programming. With high rollers on Facebook boasting up to 5,000 friends as a measure of their status, digital friendship has become increasingly indiscriminate. And that keeps some people from feeling comfortable sharing the more intimate details of their lives. That’s the motivation behind Path, a San Francisco company that is offering a more exclusive social network. Path, whose service launches Monday, bills itself instead as a “personal network.” Dave Morin, formerly an executive at Facebook Inc. and Apple Inc., and Shawn Fanning, co-founder of Napster, are betting that people crave more private interaction with a much smaller social circle: Path lets each user designate only 50 friends. Morin estimates that, based on Dunbar’s research, 50 is “roughly the outer boundary of our personal networks.” “You usually have about five people whom you trust most, 20 whom you consider your BFFs that you hang out with all the time and about 50 or so who are your personal network,” said Morin, co-founder and chief executive of Path. “Path is built for that.” Not long ago, many were leery of using their real names or divulging personal thoughts, opinions or feelings on the Web. But social and media-sharing tools such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and Foursquare have ushered in an era of online openness in which people routinely broadcast snippets and snapshots to their friends and followers. As Facebook pushes users to open up to an ever wider social circle, however, some are holding back more information. If their network
contains even just one person they do not trust, people tend to clam up, Morin said. Path, which is designed to help people capture personal moments and share them only with people they trust, isn’t meant to replace Facebook or other social networking services, but rather to “ride alongside them,” he said. “The idea here is that you always control who you’re sharing with and you can tell the story of your life to your closest friends and family,” he said. Path users tell that story through photos. You snap pictures and post them; over time, the series of snapshots creates a “path” of your life. Photo sharing is already one of the most popular features on social networking sites. The rise of photo-centric networks such as Path and DailyBooth reflect a shift in how young people communicate, using photographs as a simpler, faster and more expressive medium. The way Path works: When you sign up for the service, you can find your friends through e-mail addresses or phone numbers. You take photos with an iPhone and post them, with tags for people, places and things. You can control which of your friends see any particular photograph. You also can see who has looked at any particular photo. And you can view your friends’ locations on a map of the world and click to see what they have posted. If you don’t want notifications about a certain friend’s photos, you can “pause” that person. Path is focused on building its product for mobile phones. Currently, it offers a free iPhone application. Apps for Android and BlackBerry are on the way. Users can look at their

networks through the Path website but must use an iPhone to add pictures. Altimeter Group analyst Jeremiah Owyang said people are increasingly interested in making some of their updates more private on social networks. But, he said, those people can use existing filtering features to do that. He also noted that, on average, Facebook users have fewer than 150 Facebook friends — still within Dunbar’s number. Path may offer a compelling proposition, but it’s difficult for a new social network to gain traction, he said. Path has recruited high-profile investors, including actor Ashton Kutcher and angel investor Ron Conway, and high-caliber talent, including the engineer who built the photo application for the iPhone. Morin said he believes people will be won over by the ability to be themselves and share candid, unconstrained moments with loved ones. His sister, for instance, gets to see snapshots of his everyday life that help her feel more connected to him: his feet in happy socks, the mocha he is drinking at the neighborhood cafe and views from his morning run. “She tells me, ‘I feel like I am seeing your life through your eyes,’ “ Morin said. “These are not moments that matter broadly, but they matter to the people close to you. Shared experience is the foundation of happiness in relationships. Oftentimes, experience is seeing.”

Scientists study whether climate change causes bigger ocean waves By Les blumenthal McClatchy Newspapers MCT
It’s one of the most treacherous stretches of water in the world, where 1 million cubic feet of water a second collides with 20- or 30-foot ocean swells over a four-mile stretch of shifting sand. A small band of pilots braves oftentreacherous conditions to guide ships across the Columbia River Bar. The pilots who work the “Graveyard of the Pacific” have a deep respect for the relentless forces they face daily as they ride out to tankers, bulk carriers, car carriers, and cargo and passenger ships standing offshore. They commute in 72-foot self-righting boats that can roll over 360 degrees as winter gales and sometimes hurricaneforce storms blast out of the North Pacific. The pilots also confirm what marine scientists have just started talking about: Ocean waves are becoming bigger and more powerful, and climate change could be the cause. “We’ve been talking about it for a couple of years now,” said Capt. Dan Jordan, who served in the merchant marine for 30 years before becoming a Columbia River Bar pilot. “Mother Nature has an easy way of telling us who is in charge.” Using buoy data and models based on wind patterns, scientists say that the waves off the coast of the Pacific Northwest and along the Atlantic seaboard from West Palm Beach, Fla., to Cape Hatteras, N.C., are steadily increasing in size. And, at least in the Northwest, the larger waves are considered more of a threat to coastal

communities and beaches than the rise in sea level accompanying global warming. Similar increases in wave height have been noticed in the North Atlantic off England. Unclear is whether the number and height of “rogue” waves beyond the continental shelf have increased. The existence of such freak waves, which can reach 100 feet or more in height and can swamp a large ship in seconds, wasn’t proved until 2004, when European satellites equipped with radar detected 10 of them during a three-week period. According to some estimates, two merchant ships a month disappear without a trace, thought to be victims of rogue waves. “Obviously, this is an issue we are interested in,” said Trevor Maynard of Lloyd’s of London’s emerging risk team, which tracks global climate

change developments. “We are seeing climate change fingerprints on a lot of events.” Since the mid-1970s, buoy data show the height of the biggest waves off the Northwest coast has increased an average of about 4 inches a year, or about 10 feet total, according to Peter Ruggiero, an assistant geosciences professor at Oregon State University and the lead author of a study published recently in the journal Coastal Engineering. Ruggiero and his colleagues also estimated how high a 100-year wave might be. These would be the largest waves expected to come along every 100 years. The estimate has increased 40 percent since the 1970s, from 33 feet to 46 feet. Some calculations estimate a 100-year wave might be 55 feet high, taller than a five-story building. “We are assuming the trends will

increase in the future,” Ruggiero said. The future already may be here, however. Jordan, the Columbia River pilot, said a 44-foot wave was recorded off the river in October. In a major spring storm in 2007, a 54-foot wave was recorded. “After that the buoy quit recording,” Jordan said. On the East Coast, a yet-to-bepublished study also has showed that average wave heights have been increasing, by a couple of centimeters or so a year. “The averages aren’t very exciting,” said Peter Adams, an assistant professor in the University of Florida’s Department of Geological Sciences who used wind data from the past 20 to 30 years to develop a wave height model. “Given that there are 3 million waves a year, one wave every 10 seconds, it’s not so alarming.” Adams said he finds it startling that the height of the biggest waves has increased nearly a foot in 10 years. “In a lifetime, that can be profound,” he said. A scientific debate is raging over what’s causing the increase in wave size. Possible causes include changing storm tracks, higher winds and more intense winter storms — all signs of global climate change. “While these increases are most
likely due to Earth’s changing climate, uncertainty exists as to whether they are the product of human-induced greenhouse warming or represent variations related to natural multidecadal climate cycles,” Ruggiero’s study said. Among the weather phenomenon that could be affecting wave heights in the Pacific, Ruggiero said, are El Nino — warmer surface temperatures in the tropical eastern Pacific — and the Pacific Decadal Oscillation — 20- to 30-year patterns of warmer or cooler surface temperatures in the Pacific. “There is a lot of speculation, a lot of reading of tea leaves,” he said. Others are skeptical about any link to climate change. Richard Seymour, the head of the Ocean Engineering Research Group at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography in California, said any connection between increased wave height and climate change is tenuous. In fact, Seymour said, there isn’t enough data on wave heights to provide the “statistical reliability” to predict any trends. Seymour and others said too little is known about the oceans. “It always struck me as odd we know more about the surface of Mars than the floor of the Pacific Ocean,” he said.

Calif. Supreme Court upholds in-state tuition for undocumented students By howard mintz San Jose Mercury News MCT
The California Supreme Court on Monday upheld a state law that enables illegal immigrant students to pay lower in-state tuition at public colleges and universities, rejecting arguments that the policy unfairly discriminates against students from other states who pay higher fees yet are U.S. citizens. In a unanimous ruling, the justices concluded that the state provision providing tuition aid to undocumented students does not run afoul of federal laws restricting public education benefits to illegal immigrants, and emphasized that it is not up to the courts to address how the issue fits into the broader debate over illegal immigration. “This court does not make policy,” Justice Ming Chin wrote for the court. “Whether Congress’s prohibition or the Legislature’s exemption is good policy is not for us to say.” The case has attracted widespread attention across the country as another legal battleground over illegal immigration, and the ruling is being closely watched because a number of other states have similar laws that are expected to come under legal attack by groups that
consider such policies as public encouragement of illegal immigration. The ruling is expected to affect hundreds of students who currently benefit from lower in-state tuition at community colleges and in California’s state university and University of California systems. But the decision may ripple into those other states that provide lower fees to immigrant students. A group of non-California residents sued in Yolo County to block the state law in 2005, arguing that it violates a 12-year-old federal law that bars states from providing benefits to illegal immigrants based on their residence. A state appeals court sided with that argument, but the state Supreme Court overturned that ruling. Among other things, the Supreme Court concluded that residency is not the sole factor in providing the benefit to undocumented students, noting that the law requires a student to attend a California high school for at least three years to qualify for the in-state tuition, as well as satisfy other criteria. The lawyers on both sides could not immediately be reached for comment, but the group suing to overturn the law could appeal to the U.S. Supreme Court.
Thousands rally in Spain to protest violence in Western Sahara By joerg vogelsaenger DPA MCT
Several thousand people protested in Madrid, Spain, on Saturday, accusing the Moroccan government of human rights violations in the former Spanish colony of Western Sahara. The demonstrators also criticized the Spanish government, saying that because of political and economic considerations, it sat back and did nothing about the violence. The protesters included actor Javier Bardem, husband of Hollywood star Penelope Cruz, who called on the European Union and the United Nations to intervene over Western Sahara, which was annexed by Morocco 24 years ago. Moroccan security forces last Monday raided a camp housing some 20,000 people demanding better living conditions near the Western Saharan capital Laayoune. Clashes in the city itself followed. The Moroccan government has reported that 12 people died, including 10 police officers. Additionally, 163 people were allegedly arrested. The Western Saharan independence movement Polisario spoke of
at least 19 dead, more than 700 injured and more than 150 missing. It accused Moroccan security forces of torture and rape. “How much horror is actually needed until the international community protects the Saharan people?” Bardem asked. Politicians from various parties and the leaders of Spain’s two largest unions also took part in the rally, which had been called by citizens’ groups that support independence for Western Sahara. The Spanish government has criticized Morocco’s actions, but did not officially condemn them. Prime Minister Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero pointed to the importance of the political and economic relations with its southern neighbor. Madrid has, however, requested “urgent” information from Morocco on the alleged killing of a Spanish citizen during the clashes. It also called on Rabat, Morocco’s capital, to stop hindering the work of foreign reporters. Several Spanish journalists have in the past few days been deported or prevented from entering Western Sahara, which was annexed by Morocco in 1976, months after Spain abandoned the territory.

Indiana hosts Veterans Day events By john boddington Staff Writer J.M.Boddington@iup.edu
Flags, families, and an overall feeling of patriotism filled the Indiana area Thursday. Individuals were packed up and down the sides of Philadelphia Street to witness the Indiana Veterans Day Parade. “Approximately 40 units participated in the parade,” said parade coordinator Rich Hoover. The parade began on Fifth Street and ended on Ninth Street. Around 10:30 a.m., participants began to get into their places and at
exactly 10:50 a.m., the parade began moving down the street. The hosts of this year’s parade, Indiana’s American Legion Post 141, oversaw all of the arrangements of the event. Aside from the actual parade, a special breakfast was held at 7:45 a.m. and a lunch followed at the American Legion. Aside from the food, flu shots were also made available for veterans after the parade. To begin the day, IUP’s ROTC held a flag-raising in front of Pierce Hall. Later, at the beginning of the parade, IUP’s ROTC set off a cannon. From
there, they proceeded to march alongside veterans in the parade. The IUP Veterans Club also participated by entering a float in the parade. Members were also available to answer questions at the end of the parade. Veterans were also recognized Saturday at the football game between IUP and West Chester. Veterans were honored throughout the game, whic included a fly-over, a half-time acknowledgement and, after the game, a display of military vehicles in the IUP stadium parking lot.

Have a very ‘PC’ Thanksgiving Editorial The Baltimore Sun MCT
Somewhere along the way, Thanksgiving changed. Once a day of simple adoration of a supermarket turkey roasted in the oven, the cuisine and ethic of the holiday have grown complicated. Now there is societal pressure to buy a local bird and to inquire about the turkey’s upbringing. There is a cacophony of expert advice on how to prepare the bird with recommendations ranging from bathing the raw bird in salt water, to smoking it in a barbecue cooker, to dropping it into a deep fat fryer. Moreover, an increasing number of vegetarians are saying forget the turkey and God bless the gourds. Then there are the raw fooders who feast on uncooked turnips and on refrigerated, not cooked, pumpkin pie. Thanksgiving, in short, has become as diverse, complex, and quirky as the American family seated around the dining room table. The locavores in the clan believe in eating locally-grown, broad-breasted white turkeys as well as produce grown in nearby dirt, some saying their lips will touch nothing grown beyond 100 miles from their homes. There probably won’t be many

uncooked fruit and vegetables. But according to Alissa Cohen, a Boston chef and cookbook author who has trained several Baltimore area residents in the techniques of the cuisine, raw fooders dwell among us. Ms. Cohen, 43, says she grew up sitting in front of big turkey but changed her eating habits 20

years ago and this Thanksgiving will preside over a 12-course feast of raw foods at her home. In place of the bird, the main entree, will be “ravioli,” thin slices of turnips stuffed with a pureed mixture of vegetables and fruit. There has also been a change of tone surrounding Thanksgiving as a number of environmental groups have come up with suggestions for how to lessen the impact of the feast. The leading proposition is replacing the turkey with tofu or vegetables, a non-starter for many households. Other guideposts for greening up Thanksgiving are using cloth rather than paper napkins, cleansing dishes in a dishwasher rather than by hand, and decorating the table with natural materials including using dried tree leaves as place cards. So too in Baltimore. Willie Pearson, the proprietor of Willie P’s, a deep fat turkey frying operation on Maine Avenue in West Baltimore, has been recycling his spent cooking oil for years. Once he has met all his orders for Thanksgiving, Mr. Pearson summons Greenlight Biofuels in Beltsville, and the peanut oil that gave hundreds of Thanksgiving turkeys a crisp skin is converted into biodiesel. From brown turkey to green fuel, that is Thanksgiving 2010.
MCT Residents of Dimock, Pa., have been complaining for some time about well water they claim to be containted by natural gas drilling.
Big oil wants in on the natural gas boom By Bill McKibben Los Angeles Times MCT
Big Oil is shelling out big bucks to get into the natural gas business. The Associated Press reports major oil companies like Chevron, Exxon Mobil, Royal Dutch Shell and CNOOC Ltd., China’s state-owned offshore oil and gas company, are spending billions to buy up natural gas fields. Yet Pennsylvania, which sits on top of one of the richest deposits of natural gas in the country, has no extraction tax on drilling. It’s not just natural gas companies that are tapping into the natural gas boom. The news service reports Pittsburghbased coal producer Consol Energy says it will spend some of its 2011 investment dollars to explore the gasdrilling potential of Utica shale, a geologic formation older and deeper than the Marcellus shale, where Consol already has an interest. And Pennsylvania remains the only major natural-gas producing state that does not have a tax on drilling. On Tuesday, a state agency approved nearly $12 million to extend municipal water service to at least 14 households in Dimock, a rural community in northeastern Pennsylvania. Its residents have been complaining
about tainted well water because of natural gas drilling. The state will go after a drilling company to recover the costs, but there’s no guarantee it will win its case. And Gov.-elect Tom Corbett has pledged not to impose a tax on natural-gas drilling. In the most recent safety crackdown on trucks that haul wastewater produced by the process used to extract natural gas from shale, Pennsylvania State Police reported that citations were issued for 1,066 of the more than 1,400 trucks it and the Department of Environmental Protection inspected over three days in late October. Significantly, they placed 207 trucks and 52 drivers out of service. The most common citations were for unsecured loads and lights or lamps that weren’t working. And lawmakers are in no hurry to set aside money to protect the environment. (Not to mention the damage being done to roads and bridges.) On top of all this, next year’s budget had a $5 billion hole in it, and the politicians in Harrisburg apparently aren’t interested in developing a new revenue source. Don’t expect much come January. The energy companies have spent hundreds of thousands of lobbying and campaign dollars in the last few years to create this inertia in Harrisburg.

q Penn editorial
Cultural exchange: educational and entertaining As of fall 2010, IUP has a student body of more than 15,000. According to IUP’s fact sheet, the student body represents 48 states and 71 countries from around the world. Even though the first-year profile of students shows that the population is predominantly white, at 83 percent, there is still a great amount of diversity on campus, and plenty of students that are more than happy to share their heritage and culture with the IUP community. This cultural exchange is most excitingly represented in events like Caribbean Night and other events that combine an educational opportunity with entertainment, and, most importantly to starving college kids, delicious food. Other cultural groups on campus have also sponsored similar events to positive response. For many students, this may be their first experience with a different culture. Even if it’s only a night in the HUB Ohio Room, some exposure is better than nothing. But IUP is also home to many other programs and organizations that can help students increase their understanding of other cultures. The American Language Institute and the Conversation Club provide native English speakers opportunities to help international students improve their English skills, while also sharing cultural information. We may live in a rural, mostly white town – the population of Indiana is 93.7 percent white as of the 2000 census – but by being a university community, we have access to more opportunities for cultural exchange than many others. Though the struggle for a multicultural center on campus continues, students and community members have found ways to ensure representation for all students at IUP. International students and U.S. citizens alike can find support in various organizations that represent their heritage. It’s important in our increasingly global society that we have an understanding of other cultures, and can find common ground in communicating with people who may not speak our language or understand our culture. To be able to compete and be well rounded, step outside your own cultural identity and learn about another. The opportunities for this learning experience are much more fun in action than they might be in a classroom.
Internet won’t kill the video star Editorial McClatchy-Tribune News Service MCT
At this rate, the cable guy is running out of excuses for being so late. An increasing number of American households are cutting the cable, and they aren’t defecting en masse to other providers, such as satellite or phone-companies-turned-TV operations. For example, Time Warner and Comcast lost a combined 430,000 subscribers in the third quarter of this year — more than double the losses from the same period last year. Company executives say this is merely a sign of a bad economy. Plus, when analog TV broadcasts ended last year, cable companies offered special introductory rates, and those rates just expired. Time Warner also points out that many of the customers it’s losing don’t even have access to high-speed Internet. Why should you care? Because the alternative explanation is pretty cool. Techno-geeks
suggest the exodus has a lot to do with the fact that people don’t need cable to watch their required hours and hours of TV. For example, videos streaming online from Netflix now account for the largest chunk of primetime Internet traffic. Folks are watching new releases, classic movies and episodes of that edgy HBO series they heard so much about at work. All for a lot less per month than they paid for cable. They are streaming this content over 55-inch plasma-screen televisions in their media rooms and on their laptops at Starbucks. They access it through home-theater systems, game consoles and even most new TVs. They create low-cost accounts with Netflix, Zune, iTunes, Amazon or even Blockbuster, the locally based video and gaming giant that is going full throttle into the on-demand world as it works its way through bankruptcy. All of this is happening against a backdrop of annoying dust-ups between networks and TV providers. For example, Dish Network and
Fox Networks recently played a game of chicken, with sports fans caught in the middle. AT&T and Scripps Networks just ended a showdown that will return endless versions of house-hunting shows to TV screens far and wide. Given viewers’ frustration with changing subscription plans and lineup battles, hopeful geeks can’t help but wonder: Will the Internet kill TV? Well, it hasn’t killed the recording industry, the news industry or the postal service. But it has changed all of them, and it will continue to change the way people get their TV fix. Really, there are only two things we can know for sure: We’ll keep getting more and better options for where, when and how we choose to watch TV and movies. And no matter how few customers satellite, DSL or cable TV providers have, the repair man will still show up two hours after the fourhour window you were given when you called customer service.

Caribbean Night provides students with night of tropical fun, education By KAYLA KING-SCOTT Staff Writer K.S.King-Scott@iup.edu
The third annual Caribbean Night, “Night Life on Fire,” hosted by the Pan-African Student Association (PASA) and Latino Student Organization (LaSO), was held Saturday in the HUB Ohio Room at 8 p.m. Through not only music but poetry, dance and education, the two groups along with the audience made sure to put on a performance which displayed their strong passion for their heritage. While walking into the event, flags from different Caribbean countries were displayed. Music, courtesy of WIUPFM’s own Dean Booker (senior, marketing) was provided before and during the event. Caribbean Night aimed to educate and entertain attendees with the culture of the many Caribbean countries. This year’s theme came about because the organizations wanted to concentrate on a more modern Caribbean and believed it would draw the attention of college students by relating to them.
The main objective is to allow people to relax and have fun. “Usually a lot of people come out to Caribbean Night and [I] hope this year is no different,” Tiffany Hall-Campbell (senior, psychology), President of LaSO, said.

Theater By The Grove presents ‘Irving Berlin’s White Christmas’ By ida arici Staff Writer I.D.Arici@iup.edu
Theater-By-The-Grove will present “Irving Berlin’s White Christmas” in Fisher Auditorium Dec. 2-4 at 8 p.m. and Dec. 5 at 2 p.m. This musical surrounds the lives of successful Broadway partners and World War II army veterans, Bob Wallace and Phil Davis. The two follow their romantic interests, a pair of performing sisters, Betty and Judy Haynes, to an inn in Vermont. The inn, run by their former commanding general, is empty due to lack of snow. The men decide to put on a show in order to drum up business for the General. “At this time we do not have all the specifics about the cast and crew,” said Korinne Odegaard (senior, journalism), student worker for the IUP Fine Arts Public Events Office. Irving Berlin, according to WhiteChristmastheMusical.com,
the official website, wrote the song, “White Christmas,” specifically for the movie “Holiday Inn” in 1942. That same year it won the Academy award for best song of the year. In 2006, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) named “White Christmas” the most recorded holiday song with “well over 500 versions in dozens of languages.” The movie “White Christmas” premiered August 1954. The musical hit the stage fifty years later, in 2004 in San Francisco. Since its premiere, “Irving Berlin’s White Christmas” has been performed in Boston, Detroit, Toronto, Los Angeles, Buffalo, St. Paul and New York City. Tickets are available online at IUPTickets.com or at the HUB Box Office. Regular admission tickets are $15, discounted tickets are $12 and tickets for I-Card holders are $9.

Native American Festival emphasizes importance of culture By keri durrett Staff Writer K.D.Durrett@iup.edu
On Saturday, dancers, vendors, drummers and students gathered in the Delaware Room to celebrate Native American culture. The Fourth Annual Native American Festival was sponsored by the Native American Awareness Council, in conjunction with Native American Indian Heritage Month. According to IUP’s website, the IUP Council of Trustees met in December 2006 and decided to set aside the month to honor the culture and history of Native American people in its region. The event was free and open to IUP students, as well as the Indiana community. Two arts and crafts vendors offered various items such as Native American CDs, incense, jewelry and even beadwork Converse tennis shoes. Two refreshment carts provided dining options, including kettle corn. The big event of the afternoon was the performers. A Seneca dance group performed, along with a number of traditional Native American dances from different cultures. The greatest amount of applause was for the Hoop Dance. The dancers explained that this was a traditional Navajo dance. During the dance, the dancer works a series of hoops into different shapes, such as the butterfly, the eagle and the world. The dancers explained that the one of the world carried the most important message for Native Americans. They explained that each of the 10 rings, which were formed together to symbolize the world and represented a different part of the planet from us, as humans, to the plants and animals. The dancers described that we must take care of Mother Earth because if one of the elements is mistreated, the entire world crumbles. “I think this event was important because it helps to expose the IUP community to the culture that they may not have seen otherwise, and I also think it’s important that people understand that this isn’t something that just happened in the past, that they still exist here in

the present,” James Stevulak (junior, communications media) said. Clifton Pimelton, a Tuscarora from western New York, serves as the chair of the Native American Awareness council. Pimelton was responsible for helping orchestrate the first event four years ago. “We try to expose the IUP community, students, staff, faculty, and inform them that the Native American is alive and well,” Pimelton said. “And I think the attendance here today showed a special interest from a lot of the students as well as the Indiana community. We had a couple of different performers here, Native Drums as well as the dance group from Salamenca.” “They are Seneca and they are representative of the Iroquois confederation, which was dominant in this area even as late as 1700,” Pimelton added. “I think that the demonstrations by the performers here today exposed people to what Native American culture is all about and that’s one of our goals. I hope today that we have accomplished that.”
After roughly two decades spent in the music industry, and Boyz II Men still know how to woo their fans, as they proved Friday. OnStage presented Boyz II Men, who performed at IUP’s Fisher Auditorium and left a lot of audience members wanting more. The performance was well received by the audience with much interaction, in terms of dancing and singing along with the famous R&B group. Boyz II Men paused throughout their performance to speak to the audience members about who they were, where they came from and where they were going. Throughout the concert, they performed various classics, such as “Motownphilly,” “End of the Road” and “A
Song for Mama.” The group also performed some Motown classics such as “Money (That’s What I Want),” originally by Barrett Strong and “It’s the Same Old Song/Reach Out I’ll be There,” made famous by The Four Tops. The performance heated up once a few lucky girls gathered at the front of the stage trying to get one of the roses that Boyz II Men were handing out to the audience. Toward the end of the show, Boyz II Men mentioned that they planned to put out a brand-new original album in the next six to eight months. They also mentioned upcoming plans with a stint at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas from Dec. 11 to Jan. 14. On Feb. 11-14, the group will be hosting a cruise from Miami to the Bahamas.

The prouder of their effort today.” By Kyle Predmore Sports Editor K.R.Predmore@iup.edu
two final wins at home put the Hawks at 6-5, avoiding another season finishing below .500. The first touchdown of the game didn’t come until the middle of the second quarter, out of a formation that was new to the IUP offense this year – the wildcat. “I would like to have the option as part of our offense,” Lou Tepper said. “I wanted to do it this year, but we didn’t sense we had somebody in the tryouts we had. I hope in the future, regardless of how we evolve as quarterback, that we’ll have the ability to run the option.” Pat Brewer capped off the nineplay, 60-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown to give the Hawks a 13-3 lead going into the half. This was his first rushing touchdown of the season. “They said they might keep it,” Brewer said about the wildcat formation. “We’re going to see it next year.” Brewer had one of three rushing touchdowns for the Hawks, with the other scores going to Darryl Herod and Teddy Blakeman. The IUP rushing game was the key factor to this win; The Hawks had a total of 307 yards rushing. “We have three very talented running backs,” Harvie Tuck said. “We all work hard, every day we all push each other, which helps out a lot too.” Even though Tuck did not manage to get a touchdown, he did lead his team with 132 yards rushing. Blakeman wasn’t far behind him with 118 yards.
— Lou Tepper, IUP football Head Coach
“Well, we knew we wanted to rush on these guys,” Jim O’Rourke said. “We did a great job at rushing this year. That was our plan going into the game, we wanted at least 250, and come halftime it was reset to 400. So that was the only way I wanted to go out was by running the ball, and that’s what we do here, and I’m glad we did a good job today.” With Bo Napoleon hurt in the third quarter, the Hawks had no other option but to run it. Their only other quarterback was redshirt freshman Jared Buck. “[With Napoleon], we’re not going to play the other guy,” Tepper said. “I just told him, ‘I don’t care, you gotta play,’ and it really limited us because he was having troubles dropping back and doing much.” “When you’re limited, when your quarterback’s limping, and you can only run the power one way, everybody in the stadium knew we were going to run the football — they did it. They did it, which is a real credit to them,” he added. With the troubles that the IUP defense has been dealing with all year, only 174 total yards were given up. With two interceptions and a fumble recovery, it was a pretty good way to end the season. “The biggest surprise to me was their defense,” Tepper said. “We saw this team put up over 600 yards last

To keep them at 174 yards, and then you know the struggles we’ve had in the secondary, for him to throw for 84 yards, I would have never guessed.” “We played with some of the best teams, and yet we had a lot of issues. We need to get some of those things addressed, but I couldn’t be prouder of their effort today,” he added. The Hawks snapped a four-game losing streak by winning their final two games at home to finish with a winning record. “To have a winning season is very important,” Burgess said. “Last year,

we won our last game, and being a senior, you want to go out a winner. Obviously, we wanted to be in the playoffs, 11-0 right now, but we took the advantage in November and made the best out of it.” Burgess finishes his career at IUP with a school record of 47 field goals — third overall in PSAC history. He also has a school record of 276 points, 11 short of the PSAC record. Burgess had a chance to have 48 fieldgoals and 279 points, but was iced by his own coach. “We changed our mind,” Tepper said. “As he’s going to kick it, my thought was the clock was more important than the three points. So I turned to the official to call a timeout just to turn in time to see the ball go 46 yards through the uprights.” And even with the timeout, Burgess was in good spirits about it. “I can understand why they called it,” Burgess said. “If we get it, we can run out the clock, game over. So I can definitely understand the reason.” While this game was just the last game of the season to some, it was the last game for nine of the IUP players. O’Rouke, Burgess, Mychal Skinner, Larry Federoff, Mike Gee, Nate George, Jared Kaufmann, Tobias Robinson and Jeff Vaughn will be missed come next fall. “[The team] really wanted to win for the nine seniors,” Tepper said. “There was a real chance for them
to show their commitment to each other, and I thought they did that. Dan Matha has really stepped up as a leader. He has a chance to be a strong leader. As when you’re losing Jimmy O’Rouke, that’s important.”

Hawks loses first game to UDC, 69-61 By Vaughn Johnson Editor In Chief V.M.Johnson@iup.edu
IUP took its share of bumps during the preseason with the intention of playing stiff competition in the Division I level would help against Division II teams. That plan did not come into fruition Sunday afternoon when it fell to District of Columbia, 69-61, in the season opener. Leading scorers for UDC were forward Lillian McGill (18), guards Jamilia Bonner (15) and Kendra Johnson (10). Top scorers for IUP included guards Eryn Withers (14) and Lacy Claar (10), and forward Sarah Pastorek (12). IUP Head Coach Jeff Dow said that he was “extremely disappointed” with the loss during a phone interview Monday. “Really nothing positive came from the game whatsoever,” he said. IUP had a lot of problems with turnovers last season and the problem reared its ugly head once again for the team Sunday. Although the final box score on the IUP athletics website said IUP turned the ball over 25 times, Dow said he watched the game on film and the team actually turned it 30 times. He also said the 10 of the turnovers had nothing to with District of Columbia’s defense, but were selfinflicted mistakes. Throwing the ball out of bounds or directly to the other team and dropping passes were just a few of the mistakes IUP made against UDC. UDC took advantage of the mistakes and turned them into easy buckets on the other end. Freshman point guard Alex Vega, who didn’t turn the ball over once in 28 minutes against the best team in the nation in UConn, committed seven against the Firebirds.

IUP rallies to beat Youngstown State, 8-7 By Zach graham Staff Writer Z.Graham@iup.edu
The IUP Crimson Hawks won an important CHMA conference match-up, avenging their only conference loss thus far when they beat Youngstown State Friday night. The No. 25 Hawks (6-7-1, 5-1-0) overcame a two-goal deficit late in the game and took an 8-7 shootout victory from the Penguins (3-7-1, 3-2-1). The Hawks opened the scoring 3:31 into the game when Joe Ford won a faceoff in the offensive zone, passing directly to Chris Cloutier who knocked it in. During 4-on-4 play later in the period, Michael Stokar scored for the Penguins to tie the game at one with 13:11 left in the period. The Hawks regained the lead with 7:58 left in the period when Chris Ondek scored on a power play chance. The second period saw a stretch of three goals in under a minute, and seven total between the two teams. Youngstown State had the first, when Ryan Sidak scored 3:31 in to tie the game at two. Eleven seconds later, Ondek scored his second for the Hawks, giving the team a 3-2 lead. The Penguins scored again 45 seconds later, with Joe Czekaj tying the game at three. With 12 minutes left in the period, Stokar took the puck on a 1-on-1 breakaway skating fast on the attack and scored to give the Penguins their first lead of the night, 4-3.
It looked like the Penguins could improve their lead when Casey Stern took a slashing penalty, but Phil Trombetta had other ideas. Intercepting a pass, Trombetta found himself alone ahead of everybody else and scored, tying the game again. Each team scored another in the second period, leaving the game tied at five beginning the final 20 minutes of play. The Hawks allowed the Penguins to take a two-goal advantage early in the second period. Naaman Moorman scored his second of the night 1:01 in, followed by Czakaj scoring his second on the power play two minutes later. Determined to battle back, the Hawks kept on the offensive pressure. With 6:47 remaining, Jeff Joe Regula deflected a shot into the net on a pass from Chris Ondek to narrow the margin, 7-6. Given an extended powerplay opportunity with under five minutes to play, Chase Kiebler added the tying goal that would hold for the rest of regulation. The Hawks were on the power play to start overtime, and were given another chance in the final 1:16, but neither team was able to score, sending the game to a shootout. In the shootout, Ryan Lord saved all three shots he faced for the Hawks, and Jeff Joe Regula scored, and gave the Hawks the late win. Next weekend the Hawks will host No. 16 Kent State 8 p.m. Friday and travel to Kent, Ohio for a 7:15 p.m. match-up on Saturday.

r Horoscope q
It’s hard to keep your eye on the necessary changes, as your feelings are so intense. Help arrives in the form of an associate who can be more objective.
Personal changes are possible when you elevate your thoughts above the ordinary. Consider everyone’s feelings as you choose your own direction.
Your closest associates disagree over the public image you’d like to portray. Test a variety of presentations. That way you discover what works.
You’ll probably spend time away from your ordinary work environment today. Pay attention to every nuance of your surroundings, so you can report back.
Work within your physical capabilities, and avoid excessive strain on joints and muscles. You have time to get it all done, so take it slow.
Get your homework done before presenting results. Pay extra attention to facts that don’t seem to fit the picture. They turn out to be essential.
Your heart is in the right place today, and everything else will follow. Take the first step, and feel your way along after that. Love leads the way.
Although you understand why others want drastic changes, you may not be clear about how best to accomplish that. Begin slowly, to avoid unnecessary dents and dings.
All the information lines up for a group activity. Take time to collect materials. Prepare carefully for messy or toxic ingredients. It’s worth it.
Everywhere you look, you find questions. The good news is that you have the answer. Your own intuition fills in the information gap. These answers are greatly appreciated.
An active imagination can make work both a challenge and a delight. Each person contributes. Listening to the stories allows for understanding and insight.
Tell others how you feel, and listen to what they say. You may be surprised to find they’re on the same wavelength. Stay open-minded to their ideas.
Happy Thanksgiving ! Have a safe and relaxing break ! Page 16 • Tuesday, November 16, 2010 • www.thepenn.org
