IUP welcomes visitors for Family Weekend By imani dillard Senior Staff Writer I.J.Dillard@iup.edu

This weekend will kick off the beginning of Family Weekend. Family Weekend is an annual IUP tradition, inviting all students’ friends and families to campus to partake in some different events and activities. The weekend is intended to be a memorable weekend in Indiana for IUP students and their families, according to the Center of Student Life website. Family weekend has been an IUP tradition for more than 10 years. “Family Weekend was here even before I arrived at IUP in 2001,” said Tedd Cogar, Assistant Director of Student Conduct and chairperson of Family Weekend. According to Cogar, planning for Family Weekend typically starts in the spring semester, but Ideas are discussed as early as the previous Family Weekend. Starting on Friday and through the weekend, the Robert E. Cook Honors College invites siblings and friends to join in at their open house at Whitmyre Hall. Most of the festivities, coordinated by the Center for Student

Life, take place on Saturday with a Family Weekend brunch and an IUP Ambassadors Tuition Raffle, where they will raffle off a semester of free in-state tuition. There is also a planetarium show in Weyandt Hall at 11:45 a.m., but all show-goers must meet in the lobby of the HUB for an escort and entrance into the show. This all happens before the IUP vs. Lock Haven football game at 1 p.m. If football isn’t something a family wants to do, they can go play bingo, sponsored by BACCHUS, for a couple of hours and hope to win a prize. Afterward is the volleyball game with IUP vs. Edinboro. That evening there is also a Family Weekend buffet dinner at the Crimson Event Center in Folger Hall from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. There will also be a Ghosthunting presentation in Keith Hall from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Family Weekend will end with the Department of Music presenting the IUP Jazz Band and Jazz ensemble for a concert at 8 p.m. in Fisher Auditorium. For more information on Family Weekend, contact the Center for Student Life at 724-357-1264.

Study abroad meeting to offer advice By john boddington Staff Writer J.M.Boddington@iup.edu

As of this academic year, IUP has hosted three study abroad meetings to encourage students to travel to new and exciting places while earning degrees. The first meeting was held Sept. 8, the second on Sept. 22, and the most recent study abroad fair on Oct. 13. “I would like to expose myself to all that the world may offer,” Shateera Thompson said (sophomore, psychology). The fourth meeting is set to take place at the HUB in the Monogahela Room. There, a 45 minute presentation will be given to students interested in studying abroad. During the presentation, students are recommended to take notes and to bring a friend. After the presentation, students will be given the chance to ask

question. There will also be a raffle. “I would like to be surrounded by new places and things, also, being bilingual and experienced in foreign affairs makes one more marketable in the career world,” Thompson said. Students can choose to study abroad for a single semester, a full year or a summer. “This will be an informational meeting explaining how to go about studying abroad,” Jessica Halchak, an IUP study abroad advisor, said. For this meeting, the presenter will be Jean Wenner, a grad student at IUP studying Student Affairs in Higher Education. One more meeting will be held this semester on Wednesday, Dec. 8 in the Monogahela Room. More information will be given at this coming meeting and on IUP’s website.

Shale Week brings controversy to campus attention By MEGAN GUZA Managing Editor M.S.Guza@iup.edu

The controversy surrounding Marcellus Shale and the natural gas industry was the topic of a panel discussion Wednesday night in Eberly Auditorium. The discussion was prefaced by a showing of “GasLand,” the awardwinning 2010 Sundance Film Festival documentary. In it, Pennsylvania resident Josh Fox travels to shale hotspots across numerous states and documents the stories of people affected by the drilling. The panel, which kicked off after the showing with reactions to the documentary, was made up of individuals from both sides of the aisle: David Prushnok, managing partner of Andray Mining and P&N Coal Company; Nin Kaktins, a community member and graduate student in the IUP School of Nursing; Paul Hart, president of Hart Resource Technologies and Pennsylvania Brine Treatment; and Myron Arnowitt, the PA state director of Clean Water Action. “There remains a lot we don’t know about health effects,” Kaktins said. “There are actually not a lot of studies on that.” “What I think is important about this film,” Arnowitt said, “is that it’s important to listen to the stories of people who are actually experiencing living in these areas.” That, he said, is the importance of “GasLand:” It tells the story of the people in the words of the people. Hart, however, took a different stance on the film. “The reason I’m not a fan of ‘Gasland’ is because it’s a work of art,” he said. “It’s an opinion. It’s not a documentary, and there’s a massive amount of misinformation in it. For example, [Fox’s] reference to a lot of the laws are incorrect.” Hart also said that the film’s assertion that the industry lacks regulation is also wrong. In addition, panelists discussed company violations, where the water for hydro-fracking comes from, the possibility of a moratorium, and what happens to the water used for fracking. “Say there’s four million gallons used [for fracking], to my knowledge about 30-40 percent of the water will be flowed back to the surface and be handled,” Prushnok said. The other portion of the water used is absorbed by the shale. “It’s also important to understand that the water that does flow back does have a huge amount of contamination,” Arnowitt said. “From our perspective, the contaminates that are picked up in the shale are often more dangerous than the contaminates in the fracking fluid itself.”

Pennsylvania, he said, has passed a good regulation on treatment standards for waste water before it’s discharged. As of yet, though, there are no facilities that meet those standards. “It’s a problem that we are allowing waste water currently to not meet those standards.” Hart disagreed. “We have a relatively old-fashioned type of industrial treatment facility, and we remove the nonorganics. We remove the heavy metals. We remove the barium.” Hart said the only component the facilities don’t remove is the salt, which is what the new regulations are focusing on. These new regulations will require the oil and gas Brock Fleeger/The Penn industry only to discharge the treatment water in a way that meets sec- Myron Arnowitt, the PA state director of ondary drinking water standards.

Local election results varied As of the Tuesday elections, it would seem that the government has definitely changed. The new governor of Pennsylvania will be Tom Corbett (R), who won over Chief Executive of Allegheny County, Dan Onorato (D), in a victory of 54.5 percent to 45.5 percent, according to www.electionreturns.state.pa.us/. It also looks like Pennsylvania will have opposing senators again. Bob Casey Jr. (D), already in the Senate, will be joined by politician Pat Toomey (R), who beat U.S. Representative Joe Sestak (D) by a slim victory of 51 percent to 49 percent. As far as Indiana County is concerned, Republicans swept up most of the votes. U.S. Representative Incumbent Bill Shuster (R) kept his seat for the 9th District’s Representative in Congress. Shuster won 67.4 percent of the vote, beating

out Tom Conners (D). For the 12th District, U.S. Representative-elect is Tim Burns (R). He won over democratic incumbent Mark Critz. Polls totaled 55 percent to 45 percent in Burns’ favor. All of the Republican candidates for Pennsylvania General Assembly of the 60th, 62nd, and 66th legislative districts were the big winners in the election. Incumbent Jeff Pyle (R) of the 60th legislative district beat nominee Jo Ellen Bowman (D) in a landslide 73.1 percent to 26.9 percent. Incumbent Dave Reed (R) ran unopposed for the PA General Assembly seat of the 62nd legislative district. Another incumbent, Sam Smith (R), kept his seat for the 66th legislative district’s PA General Assembly seat with 70.5 percent of the vote. Democrat Dennis Peck came in with 20.3 percent of the vote and Independent Luther Yoas trailed behind with 9.2 percent of the vote.

Prescription drug use as study aid prevalent among students By KATHLEEN MEGAN The Hartford Courant MCT

To Bradley Spahn, it seemed like a clear case of cheating. The Wesleyan University student was assigned a 24-hour take-home exam. Later, he said, nearly half the class would admit to taking so-called “study drugs” — medications like Ritalin or Adderall — to help them focus during the exam. They either took the drugs without a prescription or, if they had a prescription, took more than the prescribed dose. “It seemed pretty obvious that taking illegal drugs to help you do better on an exam is cheating,” said Spahn, now a senior. “I think it is just as serious as plagiarism.” The incident spurred Spahn to expand an effort he already had begun: trying to getting the university to classify the abuse of “study drugs” — usually stimulants prescribed for attentional disorders — as cheating. During the 2008-09 academic year, Wesleyan’s honor code review committee took up the matter but decided not to include study drugs. But the university’s non-academic code of conduct covers the abuse of prescription drugs — along with alcohol and drug abuse. While all universities are concerned about the abuse of prescription drugs as a health and legal issue, questions about fairness and cheating are seldom raised, as they were at Wesleyan. Benedict Bernstein, a 2009 graduate of Wesleyan who as chairman of the academic affairs committee was present at the honor code review meetings, said he could not disclose the discussion but said he did not support the inclusion of study drugs in the code. “I didn’t feel that it could be prosecuted,” he said. A college might be able to prove that a student was in possession of “study drugs,” but he said it would be very difficult to prove that the drugs were used to prepare a particular paper or for a test. And then, he said, there would be more questions raised: Would it violate the honor code if a student found he or she could study more effectively while under the influence of marijuana? A statement from Michael Whaley, vice president of student affairs at

Page 6 • Friday, November 5, 2010 • www.thepenn.org

Wesleyan, said the university does not “condone any form of illicit drug use” and that there is “no reason to believe that the misuse of prescription drugs has increased at Wesleyan, but national survey data seems to indicate that such misuse is becoming a concern nationally.” The medications in question — Ritalin, Adderall and others — are stimulants that are generally prescribed for children and adults who have attentional disorders. As the numbers of children diagnosed with attentional disorders has multiplied in the past couple decades, so too has the availability of the drugs, whether among high school students or on college campuses. For someone with a disorder, the drugs work to help the person focus and maintain concentration. But people without the disorder also experience an increase in energy and focus, so students seek it out, particularly during midterm and exam periods. Dr. Yitfrah Kaminer, a professor of psychiatry and pediatrics at the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, said studies show that 4 to 8 percent of college students use such stimulants regularly, getting them without prescriptions. Kaminer said the drugs definitely can improve concentration and focus in people who do not have any attentional disorder. At Wesleyan, Spahn said he has noticed that it tends to be top students who seek out the medications because they are concerned about performing well. David Callahan, the author of “The Cheating Culture: Why More Americans are Doing Wrong to Get Ahead,” said he doesn’t think taking study drugs “qualifies as cheating in the way that cheating has been traditionally defined.” He said he understands “the sentiment that a study drug gives advantages to some students.” But, he said, “if you find a way to study more effectively, to master more information ... one can make an argument that to the degree study drugs allow people to put more information in their brain or master a more complex idea, what’s wrong with that?” Even if the drugs are illegally obtained? “I guess that’s a different issue,” Callahan said. “That’s an issue about drug abuse.”

Voters poke new pot law By Nels Johnson The Independent Journal (Calif.) MCT

California’s move to legalize marijuana was rejected Tuesday night with 53.7 percent of voters statewide opposing Proposition 19, a ballot measure that would have sanctioned personal possession and cultivation of pot and allowed local governments to approve commercial production. In Sonoma County, the statewide results were almost reversed, with 54 percent of voters favoring the measure with 70 percent of precincts reporting. Shayne Khajehnoori of Santa Rosa, who calls himself a “California cannabis refugee,” was among the local majority. “It’s good to be part of it,” said Khajehnoori, who moved here from Georgia in February. “Everybody’s watching California. What changes here changes all around.” Valerie Brown, chairwoman of the Sonoma County Board of Supervisors, said she was not surprised by the local outcome. “There’s a different perspective here than in most of the counties,” Brown said, noting that Sonoma County has been sympathetic to medical marijuana. In six other counties – Marin, San Francisco, Santa Cruz, Alameda, Monterey and Lake – the measure

also got better than 50 percent support. Jill Ravitch, Sonoma County district attorney-elect, said she opposed Proposition 19 because it is “poorly drafted” and would be tied up in litigation if approved by voters. Ravitch, who currently is Mendocino County’s chief deputy district attorney, said she doubted that legalization would affect the large-scale pot gardens on public and private land, nor would it curb

pot-related crime. “There will always be a black market,” Ravitch said, noting that interstate transport of pot would remain both illegal and profitable. Sonoma County Sheriff Bill Cogbill said he thought voters recognized the problems the measure would cause, including driving under the influence,

Page 8 • Friday, November 5, 2010 • www.thepenn.org

confusion over workplace rules and competing local regulations. In marijuana-rich Mendocino County, voters defeated the measure on a 53 percent “no” vote with 91 percent of precincts reporting. Mendocino Supervisor John Pinches, a legalization advocate, said the results were disappointing. “That just means more of the same,” he said. “Spending money on the criminal justice system to keep up the price of pot.” “This is breaking the county,” Pinches said, by taking away money from schools, roads and other services. Pinches speculated that pot growers were split on the measure. “The guys who enjoy the illegal prices probably don’t want it,” he said. Californians consume 500 tons – or 1 billion joints, typically less than half a gram each – of marijuana a year, according to a RAND Corp. think tank report on Proposition 19. Legalization would cut the price of pot by as much as 80 percent and could increase consumption by 50 percent to 100 percent or more, the report said. David McCuan, a Sonoma State University political scientist, said the issue will be back on a California ballot, likely in 2012 or 2014. The measure’s 45 percent “yes” vote this year will give it significant momentum, McCuan said.

Library cuts are all about the money By Marc Gruber Contributing Writer M.W.Gruber@iup.edu

It’s all about the Benjamin’s – always has been, always will be. When the decision was made in the summer/fall of 2010 to extended library hours at the Stapleton library, many students wanted answers as to why. “I hate that the library closes early and I want answers,” said Kimberly A. Raskay (sophomore, nursing).” “I use the study rooms [In the suites] now, but they still have distractions like friends walking by. The library allowed me to isolate myself and focus, but now I can’t do that because the library closes early.” “It was not cost effective for us to maintain the library open,” said Dean of Libraries Luis J. Gonzalez, who arrived in the fall of 2010, taking over for then-interim Dean of Libraries Dr. Theresa R. McDevitt. In a chart provided by Gonzalez, it is clearly visible that the amount of students using the library during the midnight to 2 a.m. hours was significantly lower than the 6 to 11 p.m. hours. An average of 20 students used the library from midnight to 1 a.m. and an average of four students were counted during the 1 to 2 a.m. hour. So the decision to close the library at 11:45 p.m., Monday through Thursday, was made. “I think it has affected my studies because now I have to study at home where there are more distractions,” said Megan B. Spidle (junior, nursing). Aside from the results of the chart, the library is also faced with having to pay student workers higher wages with the same budget, which is nearly impossible due to the increase in wages. “We do not expect to have an increase in our budget allocation in the near future,” said Gonzalez. The hours will not be extended anytime in the near future, according to Gonzalez, but they will be extended during finals week. Another detail which factored into this decision was the safety concern for students. Gonzalez mentioned that the full library could be open, but

there would not be enough people to monitor activity at a satisfactory level. He went on to say that they are on board with the IUP police however; the police department is under the same budget duress that has the library locking its doors early. The possibility of extending hours only on certain floors was mentioned, but does not look to go into affect any time soon. Gonzalez, along with former Dean of Libraries and now reference librarian Dr. McDevitt, explained that at the end of the academic year, all the data that they collect concerning library usage will be reviewed and the possibility of extending hours will be revisited. How is the library going to revisit the possibility of late-night hours if the damn thing is never open past 11:45 p.m.? That was a burning question for me as I sat in on this interview. Obviously, if it’s open late during finals week, students will flood there because the library is a great study environment. But if you don’t keep it open during the semester, at nonfinals times, how do you expect to get good data in order to consider latenight hours being reinstated? “We are in dire straits, so to speak,” Gonzalez said. It seems as if Gonzalez is right about that. If the university doesn’t even have the money to do something as simple as providing a study environment for the ever-busy college student, who may not have time to study until those precious midnight to 2 a.m. hours, who is to say that the library hours won’t get whacked again next semester? We are definitely in a recession and I personally, do not see an improvement any time soon. So maybe next year they’ll cut another hour off the library operating time simply because they can’t afford to pay the students who work there and devote their time to the library. Also, if safety is such a concern with the late-night hours, why is the library even open at all? Each day, when we wake up and put our feet on the ground, we are taking risks. However, I suppose, at least according to this interview, that a library-related crime can only happen if it’s between midnight and 2 a.m.

State of unrest: GOP in Pennsylvania Editorial Pittsburgh Post-Gazette MCT

Pennsylvanians can size up Tuesday’s election results any number of ways. The rise of the Tea Party. The scourge of the angry voter. The return of the powerless to the seat of power. Just don’t call it one thing: divided government. That’s because for the next two years – and probably for four or more – state government will be all Republican, all the time. By winning the contest for governor over Democrat Dan Onorato, Republican Tom Corbett of Shaler continues the Pennsylvania tradition since 1955 of two consecutive terms per party – and no more – in that top executive office. At the same time, his fellow Republicans maintained comfortable control of the state Senate, 30 seats to the Democrats’ 20, and they won in enough House districts to seize control by the healthy margin of 112-91, both chambers’ counts pending final results. The GOP sweep is one way to clean Harrisburg’s political stables, and in so doing launch a pro-citizen reform agenda and perhaps end state government’s stultifying culture of business-as-usual. We can only hope. But the governor-elect and his legislative

allies also will inherit a mountain of problems. The Republicans now own, for instance, the estimated $2 billion to $5 billion budget shortfall that looms for 2011. They’ll be in charge of how – or whether – to pay for the state’s unmet road, bridge and transit needs. They’ll also decide how much to spend on education, knowing that any decline in state aid will shift the funding burden to local property taxes. Meeting these fiscal challenges will be a tall order, especially given all the budget-cutters who won election this week and the oft-repeated promise by Mr. Corbett not to raise taxes. Not present next year for the dawn of the new administration and new legislative leadership (Rep. Mike Turzai of Bradford Woods could become House majority leader) will be incumbents who were turned out by the voters. Among them are Democrats James Casorio of North Huntingdon, John Pallone of New Kensington and David Levdansky of Forward, a party maverick and reform-minded lawmaker whose presence will be missed. Voters saw fit to give the boot to Rep. John Perzel of Philadelphia, the former House Republican leader who will go on trial in the Bonusgate scandal. Not so discriminating were voters who re-elected

other officeholders facing criminal charges: Republican Sen. Jane Orie of McCandless and Democrat Bill DeWeese of Waynesburg. In federal races, Republican Pat Toomey rode the conservative wave to a seat in the U.S. Senate with a narrow victory against U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak. Mr. Toomey’s pro-business, anti-tax positions will be in sync with the views of many of Washington’s new arrivals. In the U.S. House, Pennsylvania furnished five seats to help build the new Republican majority, including the one held for only a term by Democrat Kathy Dahlkemper, who represented the district stretching from Butler to Erie. That leaves the state’s congressional delegation with the same 12-7 split, except next year dominated by Republicans, not Democrats. Here’s another sign in this season of change. The Corbett and Toomey wins close the book on two long careers in Pennsylvania politics, those of Ed Rendell and Arlen Specter. The two Philadelphians, one a Democrat and the other most often a Republican, spent decades in service to the public. Now their successors face the ageold challenge: how to turn smart politics into good government. For the sake of Pennsylvania, we all should wish them well.

Election Day has come and gone, and students do not seem to care. Some claim that their apathy stems from a lack of confidence in any particular candidate or party, but others just seem uninformed. In classrooms on Tuesday, students admitted they didn’t know where to vote. Some thought they could vote in Indiana even if they were registered in faraway hometowns. Students did vote. We know they did. In general, youth vote turnout was around 20 percent, according to CIRCLE, The Center for Information and Research on Civic Learning and Engagement. That’s one in five, which is apparently about average. But why can’t we care more? Why can’t students actually stand for something? Yes, it’s less glamorous to vote this year, because most of the people you could have voted for didn’t have the star-status of the presidential candidates in 2008. However, it’s still your state – your governor, your senator, your state representative. Soon, you’ll walk off of campus and into the real world, where taxes and federal spending become a huge issue. Many students are already in this world. Why then, do we sit content in ignorance? Why can’t The Penn ask a Man on the Street question about the election without getting blank stares or someone saying “I forgot I was 18”? Apathy seems to be a rampant communicable disease on campus. It doesn’t fall solely on the backs of students either. Not enough is done in the area of civic education – if you aren’t informed about the mechanics of voting, you’re going to be less likely to do it, primarily because you probably won’t be registered to vote in the first place. For as much as the importance of the midterm election was stressed, the urgency was not incredibly evident in voter registration drives or non-partisan voter education pushes. Still, it remains that if more students were actively pursuing such information, they would be able to find it. Voter turnout would have been higher, and the shudder-inducing questions would have hopefully been asked less frequently. IUP students do care, and many are at least politically aware, if not politically active. But a worrying amount doesn’t seem to have the first clue about their civic duty, and that’s alarming.

IUP String Project helps Indiana community gain musical knowledge By clare welsh Staff Writer C.C.Welsh@iup.edu

Since 2004, the IUP String Project has provided prospective music teachers with the opportunity to teach violin, viola, bass and cello to students from local elementary, middle and high schools. In the late 1990s, it became apparent that there was a serious shortage of string educators in U.S. public schools. The String Project began as part of a nationwide initiative of the American String Teachers Association. The goal is to not only encourage a love of strings in young people, but to inspire a love of teach ing in the musicians guiding them. “Our missison is two fold,” said Dr. Linda Jennings, director of the String Project at IUP. “The first part is to increase opportunities to play string instruments. Only 27

percent of public schools have string programs. The second part is to mentor string teachers, to help them be the best teachers they can be once they’re out of school.” Children ages 5-18 are welcome to participate in the program, with tuition costing $120-$240 depending on the length and frequency of their lessons.

Dreamstime

“I like teaching little kids; they’re the funniest people in the world,” said Annie Ursu (sophmore, music), a student teacher, who in ninth grade was a participant in the String Project herself. With lesson plans due every week, Ursu concedes that teaching in the String Project is a major commitment; however, it is also a major reward, as well as an

invaluable teaching experience. Jennings emphasizes that the program provides student teachers with both private and classroom settings, as well with the opportunity to cultivate leadership skills by “learning how to work with people, parents, and fellow teachers.” The IUP String Project sends student teachers to districts within Indiana county, as well as to Ebensburg. Jennings, who has directed the IUP String Project since she founded it in 2004, said one of her favorite parts of the job is “seeing the young children grow and flourish in the music program, as well as seeing the IUP students grow as teachers.” Information on the IUP String Project can be found at www.iup.edu/ stringproject.

Boyz II Men invite fans to join in 20th anniversary By imani dillard Senior Staff Writer I.J.Dillard@iup.edu

Tashina Johns/The Penn Jamie Lakes, an IUP alumnus who received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from IUP in exercise science, recently opened his own gym.

24-hour gym gives students fitness freedom By kayla king-scott Contributing Writer K.S.King-Scott@iup.edu

After years of being employed as a personal trainer at various local gyms, Jamie Lakes, an IUP alumnus who received both his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from IUP in exercise science, has recently opened his own gym. Lakes opened a new 24-hour gym Sept. 27, located at 20 S. 5th St., right off of Philadelphia Street next to the Exxon gas station. According to the gym’s mission statement, “Lakes’ 24hr Fitness’ goal is to provide a quality fitness facility with access to the latest trends and equipment. “Our goal is to charge a fair and competitive price for our services and delivering an even higher value to our member and clients through dedication and up-to date fitness programs. Lakes 24hr Fitness will be a place to turn to for help and answers to all their fitness needs so they can fulfill their healthy lifestyle requirements.” After stepping foot into Lakes 24hr Fitness, one can see the fulfillment of Lakes’ mission statement. One can hear satellite XM radio, which can be considered a distraction from “feeling the burn.” Lakes is proud that his gym “isn’t an intimidating atmosphere and that it’s very relaxing.” The gym is staffed during various hours, but members have 24-hour access through the use of a code system, which allows the convenience of being able to exercise any time. Lakes tries to make his gym as intimate and convenient as possible. Along with 24-hour operation, the gym offers personal trainers as well as group weight training classes, which are held every week. One customer, Sue Kirkpatrick, said she was surprised to do so

much in the gym. The gym has helped her do a lot more than she thought she could and has made her feel more comfortable, even when working out around college students. The gym offers cardiovascular equipment, such as treadmills, elliptical, stair-steppers, stationary bicycles and more. A variety of weightlifting equipment is also available, including free, selectorized and plate-loaded. Equipment brands offered are Nautilus, Paramount, Flite, Stairmaster, Precor, Quition and Schwinn. Lakes said he “hopes to attract customers with competitive prices, no long-term contracts.” Membership rates are $35 a month-single, $45 a month-couple, $49 a month-family, $5 a day and $20 a week. Along with his already competitive and discounted prices, IUP students will receive a $10 discount with I-Card, and there are no additional fees, unless one would like a personal trainer.

OnStage will present Boyz II Men, one of the best-selling R&B groups of all time. They will perform at 8 p.m, Nov. 8 in Fisher Auditorium. The group Boyz II Men, consisting of Wanya Morris, Nathan Morris and Shawn Stockman, is working once again with Motown producer, Randy Jackson, according to BoyzIIMen. com. They bring their distinctive voices and harmonies to songs made famous by various artists, such as The Manhattans, Journey and the The Spinners. Within the past 20 years,

the Philadelphia R&B group has produced and sold more than 60 million records and has won nine American Music Awards, seven Soul Train Awards, four Grammys and two World Music Awards. They signed their first record contract in 1990 with Mowtown Records, according to their official website and have produced many popular songs, including “End of the Road,” “Mowtownphilly” and “I’ll Make Love To You.” Their latest album, released Courtesy of BoyzIIMen.com November 23, 2009, titled “Love,” Within the past 20 years, Boyz II Men have is a collection of timeless songs produced and sold more than 60 million from the heart, one that spans records. multiple genres and generations, information on the concert, contact according to the official website.

IUP hopes to break out of recent slump against Lock Haven By Vaughn Johnson Editor In Chief V.M.Johnson@iup.edu

On paper, it looks as though IUP may finally get a break from its fourgame losing streak when it hosts winless Lock Haven at 1 p.m. Saturday at George P. Miller Stadium. When IUP played the Bald Eagles last season, it was in a similar predicament. The Hawks were in the middle of a three-game losing streak until they traveled to Lock Haven and ended it by a score of 45-0. This season, IUP is in the middle of a four-game skid after taking a heartbreaking 18-15 loss to Cal U in the second annual Coal Bowl. “There certainly would have been a lot to gain,” IUP Head Coach Lou Tepper said about the loss to the Vulcans during his weekly press conference in his office Tuesday morning. “To have won the Coal Bowl, I think for our kids, would have been really significant, just to have something tangible to have come back with. And now the challenge is to move on and get a winning season out of this. There’s certainly not a guarantee of that.” A win against Lock Haven is as good as any guarantee. LHU has lost 30

“To have won the Coal Bowl, I think for our kids, would have been really significant” — Lou Tepper, IUP football Head Coach consecutive games — a streak dating back to the beginning of the 2008 season. The last time the Bald Eagles won a game was Nov. 10, 2007, when they defeated also winless Clarion 17-14 in overtime. Every game since has been the same old story for Lock Haven — a loss. “Lock Haven is obviously not a quality football team, but I tell you, they scare you because they do so many things,” Tepper said. “They do so many unorthodox things.” “They’ve had some good plans,” he added. The many different things Tepper was alluding to was the number of formations and players the Bald Eagles have used in every game this season. Lock Haven has had 12 different players carry the ball out of the backfield this season. More alarming is that it has used four different quarterbacks this season, with Jarryd Burkett receiving the bulk of the load, as he is the only one of the four to throw the ball more than 100 times.

The Bald Eagles have used different formations against different teams at different points of the season. Most of the offense the team came into the season with has been thrown out and has been replaced with an entirely new scheme. IUP usually has a board in its office that has what formations a team has run against the teams they have played. More orthodox teams will run a lot of the same formations against every team they play with a few changes here and there depending they think they could have taken advantage of. For Lock Haven, however, IUP has different formations for every single team and every single game. “You have to prepare for all of them,” Tepper said. “But very likely you’re going to get something that isn’t on that board.” “That’s the challenge defensively,” he added. According to Tepper, Lock Haven has run different formations against nearly every team they have faced and changed them every game. The one good thing about Lock Haven this season is that it hasn’t been as bad as it usually has been. Although it is still last in scoring offense and defense, total offense, and rushing offense and defense, just

Kyle Predmore/The Penn The IUP defense has given up an average of 20.2 points a game.

to name a few, the numbers are up from where they were a year ago. Lock Haven has 578 yards on the ground going into this game as opposed to last season, when it had fewer than 100. Expectations are high for IUP in this game, but Tepper expected the special teams unit to have a big day, but said that LHU would be harder to fake against, because of the number

of different looks they give, which would make it hard to gauge when to fake and when not to fake. Things look good on paper for IUP to finally get its fifth win of the season and for Tepper to finally notch his 100th-career win.

Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer season ends with 2-0 loss to Cal U By Damon Boykiw Staff Writer D.M.Boykiw@iup.edu

The IUP womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soccer team ended its season Tuesday with a PSAC quarterfinal loss to Cal U, 2-0. It entered the game coming off a non-conference loss in overtime Saturday in Buckhannon, WV, to West Virginia Wesleyan, a game they contested without key offensive threats Heather Robbins, Melissa Kornock and Michelle Grozinsky. Robbins returned on Tuesday, for the first time since injuring her knee against Kutztown Sept. 25, to contribute a pair of shots. Paige Virgara recorded two shots as well.

games second goal early in the second half, at 48:25, assisted by Darija Davidson. Other Hawks tallying shots were seniors Allison Keller, Lauren Mizik and Lindsay Lobevero and Viann Heder. Kelly Brennan recorded 8 saves, cementing her hold on IUPs career saves record, and took the loss in goal, while Paula Jackson stood in goal for the Vulcans, recording one save in the shutout. Brennan and Jackson, both juniors, are regularly rated two of the top goalkeepers in the conference. The Crimson Hawksâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; squad bids farewell to seven seniors: Keller, Mizik, Kelsey Dowling, Kyra Hricik, Kelsey Hernjak, Jenna Kukla and Ashley Moyer. For 20 freshmen, this was only the end of their first season, a rebuilding season for a young and increasingly cohesive squad. IUP wraps up with a record of 9-8-1 overall, 7-6-1 in conference. Cal U hosts Kutztown Friday in West Chester to determine who will play the winner of West Chester/ only Slippery Rock for the conference title. Head coach Adel Heder could not be reached for comment.
