(Katie Jo Campbell/ The Penn) Faculty members picketed from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday. The strike was officially announced by APSCUF at 5 a.m. Wednesday.

Students stand with faculty through first strike

By ALEXANDRIA MANSFIELD News Editor A.M.Mansfield@iup.edu

Wednesday marked the first day of the Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties’ first strike.

In the union’s nearly 80 years of existence, this is the first time it has gone on strike against the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education.

The strike is affecting more than 100,000 students at the 14 state schools across Pennsylvania.

IUP students were alerted of the strike at approximately 7:20 a.m.

Wednesday via IUP’s emergency text messaging system.

The message stated that IUP would remain open for normal business hours and that faculty members are not required to participate in the strike. It also urged students to attend class as usual.

APSCUF announced the official beginning of its strike at 5 a.m.

Wednesday. IUP faculty members began picketing at 7 a.m., covering more than 25 roadways to campus in five separate “zones.”

“The worst possible case is that this will last long enough that it will cancel the semester,” said Dr. Gwen Torges, strike captain of zone three and political science professor.

“The last thing we want is to

The last thing we want to do is harm students.

-Dr. Gwen Torges (political science professor) harm students.”

Torges offered that the ideal scenario would have been for faculty members to be back in their classrooms and teaching by the afternoon, which did not occur.

The State System still had not returned to the negotiations table by press time Thursday.

“There are no negotiations going on right now,” said Kathryn Morton, APSCUF’s associate director of communications.

Morton said that some negotiators were picketing outside of the Dixon Center in Harrisburg, but they were prepared to go back to the table as soon as possible and weren’t “straying far from the place of negotiations.”

In an effort to reach an agreement, the State System reported in Tuesday’s news release that it has withdrawn several proposals that would have required full-time temporary faculty to teach an additional class each semester.

This was a major point of contention for the two parties because this proposal would have reduced compensation rates for part-time,

temporary faculty and would have increased the maximum number of temporary faculty the universities could employ.

“By removing many of the more contentious issues from the table, we have demonstrated our willingness to participate in the normal give-and-take of negotiations,” said State System spokesman Kenn Marshall in Tuesday night’s news release.

“We believed it also would show APSCUF our eagerness to achieve a new contract. It is clear from their actions, however, that healthcare and salaries are the real issues in these negotiations.”

The State System released an email of facts and myths Thursday, but all of the information was

October 21, 2016

regarding the proposals the State System had withdrawn.

No new information about negotiations or proposals still on the bargaining table was released.

Marshall has not responded to The Penn’s phone calls or emails.

The State System’s last statement regarding negotiations offered a few proposed changes to the contract and stated that this was the final offer.

However, APSCUF did not agree to this proposed contract, and negotiators from the State System left the table at approximately 8:45 p.m. Tuesday.

APSCUF negotiators remained at the table until the 5 a.m. deadline.

“One of the big things we are

still concerned about is the proposal that would greatly increase the number of interns faculty are responsible for advising,” Morton said.

“They also want to cut money for faculty development.

“Any education field is always evolving, so they need to be able to bring new material to the classroom.”

Morton also noted that adjuncts shouldn’t be on a separate pay scale from the rest of the faculty while they are doing the same amount of work.

IUP students showed their support for the faculty on strike Wednesday by peacefully protesting in the Oak Grove and handing out food and drinks to faculty members.

“I plan to show my solidarity in any way I can,” Mary Cooper (junior, English) said.

“Our faculty isn’t being treated fairly. It’s not about an inconvenience to the students.”

Cooper and other students from IUP’s chapter of Students for Faculty, the unofficial student-run strike support group, spent Wednesday afternoon without class in the Oak Grove.

IUP’s marching band tried to rehearse in the Oak Grove, but campus police told them they were unable to do so.

Recovering alcoholic to share story of abuse and sobriety

Faculty union gains support during strike; PASSHE remains silent

By STEPHANIE BACHMAN Lead News Writer S.L.Bachman2@iup.edu

The Six O’Clock Series returns at 6 p.m. Monday in the Hadley Union Building Ohio Room with its latest presentation, titled “An Evening with ‘Greeny,’” about alcohol abuse.

The presentation is being led

by Mike Green, also known as “Greeny.”

He is a recovering alcoholic who has been sober for the past 38 years.

Green decided to use his experience to help others by becoming a motivational speaker and founding Collegiate Consultants, of which he serves as president.

His goal is to increase awareness about drug and alcohol abuse, especially among college students.

Over the past 18 years, he has presented at more than 2,000 campuses across the U.S., according to his website. “[Green] is a recognized leader in the field, who has earned the respect of both his colleagues and the students he has counseled,” according to his website.

“He has made it his life’s work to help young people avoid the perils of abuse.”

The presentation is being sponsored by the Alcohol, Tobacco and Other Drugs program, BACCHUS and IUP Athletics.

Ann Sesti, director of ATOD, arranged for Green to come and speak at IUP as part of the Six O’Clock Series.

One of the things that makes Green both unique in his approach and success with students is his presentation style, according to Sesti and Green’s website.

Green uses amusing stories and anecdotes to help share his knowledge and wisdom about making healthy and important life choices.

He does not preach or judge.

He uses humor to get his points across in a way all students can relate to.

-Ann Sesti (director of ATOD)

Sesti explained that is why students should attend the presentation and why Green was selected to be part of the Six O’Clock Series. “[Green] has a very unique way of approaching students,” Sesti said.

“He does not preach or judge.

He uses humor to get his points across in a way all students can relate to.

“Students will be entertained and learn about ways to make choices to help them succeed at IUP and in life. They can expect to laugh and have fun and be surprised at how much they learn from [Green].”

The Six O’Clock Series warns on its website that Green’s presentation style includes adult language and humor.

Sesti also explained why the topic of alcohol abuse is important, especially for college students.

“Alcohol use and misuse is too common of a problem on most college campuses,” Sesti said.

According to a 2014 poll conducted by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA), about 1,825 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die from alcohol-related unintentional injuries each year, including motor-vehicle crashes.

About 696,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 are assaulted by another student who has been drinking.

About 97,000 students between the ages of 18 and 24 report experiencing alcohol-related sexual assault or date rape.

Continued from Page 3.

Students obliged with this rule and moved off campus to continue their performance in front of striking faculty members.

They attributed the confrontation to a miscommunication regarding the need for a permit.

One student said they just wanted to “rehearse outside because it’s such a beautiful day.”

One of the biggest complaints from students has been the lack of transparency during negotiations.

“I don’t know what [PASSHE has] been offering, I just know that [APSCUF has] been turning it down,” Cooper said.

“Lack of information makes it hard to make an informed decision.”

Morton said that the main reason information wasn’t as transparent as students and faculty would like it to be was because negotiations, when they were happening, occurred at a rate which was impossible to continuously update.

“It’s always changing, which

(Katie Jo Campbell/ The Penn) Professors marched and chanted on the picket line while striking Wednesday.

This has nothing to do with a political party. It’s about legislation.

-Frank Snyder (PA AFL-CIO secretary-treasurer) is why we don’t have minute-byminute updates on negotiations,” Morton said.

In addition to student support, Frank Snyder, Pennsylvania American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations

(PA AFL-CIO) secretary-treasurer and political director, visited IUP to show his solidarity with the union.

“We represent 800,000 hardworking women and men all across Pennsylvania who are in all different professions,” he said. “A lot of them are alumni from these univerisites or have children in them.

“We are going to all of the universities to stand with you all.”

Snyder reiterated the need to put pressure on the governor, especially since APSCUF was the first union to endorse him.

“Democrat or Republican, this has nothing to do with a political party. It’s about legislation,” Snyder said.

“We are not a partisan organization. If you’re with us, we’re with you. If you oppose us, we oppose you.”

Negotiations are currently stagnated. An announcement will be made when negotiations resume.

APSCUF plans to be on strike until a tentative contract is agreed upon.

State schools share similar experiences with strike

By TYLER OKUM, RACHEL WRIGHT and ALEXANDRIA MANSFIELD Across the state, faculty members employed by the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education began picketing in the early hours of the morning Wednesday.

By 8 a.m., students at Shippensburg University were beginning to show solidarity with their professors in the form of marching, giving food and water to picketers, calling the board of governors and even hosting parades.

SU students marched from the Ceddia Union Building (CUB) through campus to the faculty picket line before marching into SU President George Harpster’s office.

While students demanded answers regarding the strike and negotiations, Harpster said there are many questions for which he has no answers.

Millersville University students formed a crowd near their library at approximately 10 a.m.

(Rachel Wright/ The Voice) Bloomsburg University students and faculty gathered outside Carver Hall during the strike.

The group swelled to be more than 100 people by 11 a.m. Brass instruments blared, students danced and faculty marched offcampus while police officers directed congested streets.

Kelsey Fulton, MU senior, and her classmates set up a table for passersby to make their own signs.

She said she hoped the strike does not affect her ability to graduate, but she fully supports what the faculty are doing.

“College is nothing without faculty,” Fulton said.

Meanwhile, more than one dozen Association of Pennsylvania

State College and University Faculties maintained a picket line at the Dixon University Center, which houses PASSHE’s administrative headquarters, in Harrisburg.

The group was made up of professors from several universities, including SU and IUP. “I’m very sad,” said Vicki Taylor, SU professor of management, marketing and entrepreneurship. “To think such intelligent people can’t reach an agreement is disheartening.”

Bloomsburg University had a similar show of solidarity from students, but many were mostly frus-

trated by the strike.

“I believe the strike is negative on the students of Bloomsburg, but I do agree with the faculty striking 100 percent because you do what you have to do,” said Tanisha Webster, a junior business management major at BU. “The striking is also hurting students because it is delaying a lot of our learning.”

Some BU students stood by the entrances to the university, delivering food and beverages to multiple strike locations.

Thomas Weber, a sophomore political science and communication studies dual major from BU spent his day supporting faculty in any way he could.

“I decided to stand with faculty today because I want to be on the right side of Bloomsburg’s history,” Weber said.

“As a student I want David Soltz (BU president) and the administration, along with Chancellor Brogan, to prove to me that my education is worth it and that I shouldn’t take my money and leave this school,”

LOCATED IN THE HUB

said Jessa Wood, BU political science and philosophy senior.

“Every faculty member I know would rather be teaching,” said Kara Shultz, BU communications professor.

“We don’t want to strike, but we are. We are in unchartered territory.”

Few professors crossed the picket line Wednesday at these universities, but some did.

Conrad Quintyn, chair of the anthropology department at BU, was one of those faculty members.

“I’m not in the union, and I am tired with both sides,” Quintyn said. “They have been doing this for a year and a half, and they can’t come to a compromise.

“I sympathize for those on strike.

I don’t have any great reason why I am staying – I don’t have a great loyalty to the system or anything. I just have a lot to do.”

SGA to offer information regarding strike

By SETH WOOLCOCK Staff Writer S.M.Woolcock@iup.edu

The Student Government Association meeting, held at 7 p.m.

Tuesday in Room 225 of the Humanities and Social Sciences Building, began with Brian Swatt, SGA president, introducing two guest speakers to discuss the APSCUF strike.

The first speaker was Dr. Michele Papakie. Papakie is the chairwoman of the department of journalism and public relations.

She is also an IUP alumna and the secretary of APSCUF. The second speaker was Dr. Heide Witthöft. Witthöft is an associate professor of German in the department of foreign languages.

She is also a member of APSCUF and a strike committee organizer. She serves as a chair on the Temporary Faculty Board.

Both speakers had already held informational sessions Oct. 4 and 5, but agreed to provide more knowledge to students after being approached by SGA. After establishing the credentials of the speakers, Swatt opened the meeting up to a question-andanswer session, inviting students to go up to the microphone and ask any questions they had for the two guest speakers.

Judge Wright (senior, hospitality management) was the first to participate.

Wright asked the simple question, “Is the strike going to happen and, if so, is it going to extend the semester?”

Papakie replied by stating that she and all of the professors were unsure about what exactly would happen once the strike began, because the media embargo from the state legislators was still in place at the time.

Papakie did add optimism to

The longer the picket line, the shorter the strike.

-Dr. Michele Papakie (APSCUF secretary, journalism and public relations professor) the situation by stating, “the longer the picket line, the shorter the strike.”

Delaney Marshall (senior, hospitality management) was the next to speak, and she asked the question that was probably on every student’s mind: “Should we still go to classes?”

Witthöft responded by saying it’s a “personal choice” for professors to strike.

Some professors might continue with class and others will not.

One thing is for sure, though: Papakie and Witthöft made clear that they will not continue their respective classes, as they will be “trying to preserve higher education.”

Swatt then reminded the students they can stay informed of the situation through their IUP imail or social media platforms such as Twitter and Facebook.

Swatt also explained that if you decide to attend your classes and no instructor is present, by state law you are supposed to wait or leave after 15 minutes of waiting.

The meeting was adjourned when the Q&A session ended.

If the faculty strike persists, SGA will be co-sponsoring strike informational sessions at 10 a.m. Friday and Monday in Eberly Auditorium.

Flyers for the informational sessions include facts about grades, graduation, jobs, striking and negotiations.

Similarly, the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education released “myth busting” information Thursday on its website.

Final presidential debate is most civil of the three

By NICOLETTE QUERRY Staff Writer N.M.Querry@iup.edu

Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump faced off Wednesday night in their last debate, in which six major categories were presented to the candidates.

The pre-debate deliberated whether or not the candidates would shake hands at the start, and they did not.

The first topic presented was the Supreme Court appointment(s) by the next president.

Clinton said she would appoint someone who would not reverse Roe V. Wade and marriage equality.

“The Supreme Court should represent all of us,” Clinton said.

Trump said he would like to see a justice that is pro-life and pro Second Amendment. He also said he would like to overturn Roe V. Wade with his appointees. The discussion then turned to planned parenthood and boarder control.

Clinton advocated for planned parenthood and said it is more than just abortions. She also said Trump had hired and exploited many underpaid undocumented workers in his business.

Trump said we need strong borders, and President Obama has already deported many people.

“We have some bad hombres

here, and we are going to get them out,” he said.

The following topic was the economy, specifically on taxes and creating jobs.

Clinton said if the middle class wins, we all win. She said she would bring new jobs, clean energy and small businesses; raise the national minimum wage; give women equal

pay and make college more affordable.

She attacked Trump’s plan by saying it will lose 3.5 million jobs and give tax breaks to the wealthy.

His responded by saying her plan will double taxes, and he will do a lot for college tuition.

“I will not add to the debt by one penny,” Clinton said in response to Trump’s criticism of her plan for the economy. Trump said Clinton is the reason we have ISIS. The third topic was fitness to be president.

Trump began by saying Obama and Clinton paid people $1,500 to cause problems and incite violence at his rallies. He added that he would not apologize for any violence because it was not his fault.

“It is up to all of us to demonstrate who we are and who are country is and what we expect from our next president,” Clinton said.

“America is great because America is good.”

She followed this by criticizing Trump’s attitude toward women.

“Nobody has more respect for women than I do,” he responded.

Trump attacked The Clinton Foundation. Clinton brought up Trump’s allegations that the Emmy’s, the primaries and possibly the election are rigged.

The crowd cheered after Clinton’s comment. The moderator hushed the crowd and transitioned into foreign hotspots.

“I will not support putting American soldiers in Iraq as a supporting force,” Clinton said.

Trump followed that statement by saying Clinton’s plan would support Iran, and the country would be better off if she had done nothing at all.

Clinton said she would institute a no-fly zone over Syria. The moderator expressed concerns about

it starting a war. She replied that it was a legitimate concern, but it would happen overtime and through negotiations.

“I am not going to let anyone in this country who is not thoroughly vetted, but I will not turn my back on women and children,” Clinton said.

National debt was then introduced for the first time in the debates, according to the moderator.

“I am going to create tremendous jobs,” Trump said.

Clinton questioned when he thought America was great because he criticized the government in previous decades.

She said under her presidency, the wealthy would pay their fair share and she would rebuild the middle class. Trump said he would have a better plan.

The moderator asked Clinton and Trump what they would do about Medicare running out in 2020 and Social Security running out in 2030.

Trump said he would repeal and repeal the Affordable Care Act. Clinton said she would enhance benefits for low income workers and women while Trump’s plan would add $20 trillion to the debt.

“Such a nasty woman,” Trump responded.

The debate lasted 90 minutes, ending with one-minute closing statements by each candidate.

“I will stand up for families against powerful interest and big businesses,” Clinton said.

“I will do more for African Americans and Latinos than she can do in 10 lifetimes,” Trump said. “We cannot take four more years of Barack Obama.”

When the debate ended, both shook hands with the moderator and returned to their families and then the crowd.

OPINION

EDITORIAL

Stop blaming “the media” in times of trouble If you go to IUP, odds are the video from WTAE of students drinking, partying and acting like the strike is a break showed up somewhere in your news feed on Facebook. Maybe you even shared it. If so, you probably read comments saying the “media” is so disingenuous and unfair in its coverage.

Boy, this “media” has been pretty terrible this year. It seems as if anytime someone doesn’t like the coverage or actions of one specific news outlet, the “media” gets blamed. Donald Trump has blamed the media on several occasions; at his August rally in Erie, he called the “media” the “lowest form of life,” and many of his supporters booed the reporters covering the event, according to former The Penn editor-in-chief Molly VanWoert, who covered the rally for The Record-Argus.

Even at IUP, I’ve heard the “media” trash-talked by anyone upset by the reporting of one or two news outlets. The truth is that blaming the “media” for anything is meaningless, pointless and, if we’re being honest, ignorant.

News “media” is a plural noun indicating several or all

news outlets in general. But “media” is an umbrella term that includes every point of view under the sky. When you blame the “media,” you’re blaming Fox News, The New York Times and everything in between – including yours truly.

Today I read an angry comment on the shared WTAE post that said the media was so unfair to make it look like all students were out drinking and partying during the strike, even though hundreds of students were out in the Oak Grove supporting the faculty. That comment – and dozens resembling it – is as misrepresentative of the media as the WTAE story was of the IUP student body.

Blaming the media for WTAE’s video is being unjust to your newspaper, The Penn, which has been covering every angle of the strike in every single issue this year, on Facebook when the website was down and on Twitter through dozens of tweets, videos and pictures showing the students’ overwhelming support of faculty. We’ve been there for you and will continue to be as thorough and honest in coverage as possible.

Instead of using the blanket term of the “media,” call out and complain about the specific medium that offended you, and that specific news outlet will be checked. It might even hear your complaints and make the appropriate amends. But please, don’t blame the entire media.

Dear Editor: You ask “Who is Art Halvorson?”

Strange but true, he’s a Republican

October 21, 2016

Letter t

nominated by Democrats! A conservative Republican who had enough Democrat write-in votes in April that the Democrats chose Art (instead of Shuster or another Democrat) to represent them in November.

Art agreed to run as a a democrat, but he will caucus with Republicans.

He wants you to vote for the MAN and not the PARTY. He is fair and capable, and will represent ALL people to help unite our country.

He will set a six-year term limit for himself and will not take a pension.

He is a caring Christian family man, and a Coast Guard veteran of 29 years.

Not matter which party you vote for, you can still vote for Art Halvorson.

The Philly St. Escape Rooms, 631 Philadelphia St., trap players in a room and make them solve mysterious clues to escape.

Escape rooms offer puzzling activities

By TORI STROMBERG Staff Writer T.J.Stromberg@iup.edu

Escape rooms have become the newest adventure people want to be a part of.

Escape rooms are live-action adventure games in which players are challenged to solve puzzles and figure out clues within a given timeframe.

Each room has a different theme, and the clues correspond with the theme. The players need to figure out the mystery before their time is up in order to escape the room, otherwise they lose the game. The idea for escape rooms came from the video game “Escape the Room.”

Indiana now provides students with the opportunity to try and solve mysteries within an hour, thanks to Philly St. Escape Rooms, a new amusement center located at 631 Philadelphia St. The business opened June 2.

Ben Staymates, general manager of Philly St. Escape Rooms, explained that he and his father were interested in opening up their own rooms and found a location in Indiana.

“We would go to different escape rooms, and we wanted to open our own,” Staymates said. “We did a lot of research on how to start the business, checked out the websites, and we found a location here in Indiana.

“So far, business has been steady. We want to see it pick up more after we open

the third room.”

As of now, Philly St. Escape Rooms has two rooms in which residents of Indiana and IUP students can test their skills to figure out their given mystery.

“Students have loved it,” Staymates said.

“It’s great for students because it doesn’t involve drinking, and you don’t have to be 21.”

IUP’s chapter of Phi Sigma Pi National Honor Fraternity had a chance to try out the rooms this week. Hanna Andrussier (senior, international business) and Chase Kedy (junior, computer science), the social chairs of Phi Sigma Pi, organized the event for their fraternity.

“We want them to get to know the others

in the fraternity who they don’t necessarily talk to,” Andrussier said. “We want everyone to get to know each other. We paired them with some friends, but also got others in their group so they can work together. We also want them to work as a team and to have a fun experience.”

After an hour at trying to figure out the puzzles and clues, the members of the fraternity said it was an overall good time.

Staymates said it will be providing new and exciting experiences soon with hopes it will draw in more business.

Marching band, color guard show support for faculty during strike Marching band and color guard members showed their support for faculty during the strike by playing across the street from the Oak Grove around noon Wednesday.

Several band students spoke via Facebook to arrange a meeting to play in support of their faculty.

Originally, the marching band and color guard were going to perform in front of Fisher Auditorium at 12:30 p.m., but were told to leave by IUP University Police. They then moved across the street to the patch of grass separating Oakland Avenue and Washington Street.

The band formed a concert arc and played several pieces.

Color guard assumed their positions on the sidewalk on the west side of Uhler Hall and coordinated their performances with the marching band members that were present.

Faculty and onlookers lined up on sidewalks and crowded around to view the performance.

Several passing cars showed support (Alexandria Mansfield/ The Penn) by honking their horns.

“Amanda Knox” is a chilling portrayal of a trial gone wrong

By Tyler Scheffler

(YouTube)

Amanda Knox gave her testimony in a Netflix documentary.

By SAMANTHA BELL Lead Culture Writer S.M.Bell@iup.edu

This article contains opinion.

"Either I'm a psychopath in sheep's clothing, or I am you," said Amanda Knox, a 29-year-old woman who was convicted for killing her roommate, 21-yearold Meredith Kercher, in 2007.

Knox reveals her experience at the forefront of this grueling investigation in Netflix’s trending documentary, “Amanda Knox.”

The documentary, which was released Sept. 30, is an uncensored, brutal narrative of the battle between the reliability of Knox’s story and the Daily Mail’s pen. This is the first documentary Knox agreed to take part in.

Her first-hand accounts of the investigation frenzy are unnerving, to say the least.

What happened in the early hours of Nov. 1, 2007, in Perugia, Italy, is still a mystery. However, every step, conclusion, mistake and opinion is explored in this 90-minute film directed by Brian McGinn and Rod Blackhurst. It studies “the trial of the century,”

a trial that was littered with lies, twists and tabloids.

Knox, who was originally sentenced for 26 years, was acquitted by the Supreme Court of Cassation after serving approximately four years in prison.

Although viewers won’t see much emotion from Knox, they will get to see her desperate attempt to prove her innocence in a manner in which she never had the opportunity.

Viewers will see Knox shift the blame from the evidence pinned against her to the unprecedented, sensationalist manner of the Daily Mail.

The documentary, which was five years in the making, is a chilling compilation of interviews with Knox; her boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito; the Italian prosecutor, Giuliano Mignin; and an unconventional freelance journalist for the Daily Mail, Nick Pisa.

No matter what side the viewer is on, the candid representation of this story brings up an interesting question: Does justice get lost in high-profile cases?

Original Jason Voorhees actor to play Brown Hotel

By TORI STROMBERG Staff Writer T.J.Stromberg@iup.edu

To get in the Halloween spirit, The Brown Hotel is hosting an exciting night of music and Halloween festivities at 9 p.m.

Friday, including an autograph session with Ari Lehman, the original Jason Voorhees from the first “Friday the 13th” motion picture and performances from his band, First Jason, and Post Traumatik.

Lehman portrayed Jason as a child in the film, including the scene where the deformed-faced Jason is drowning in Camp Crystal Lake.

Since he reached stardom as Jason Voorhees, Lehman has become well-known in the world of music. He is now touring with his band, First Jason. First Jason is a punk-metal band that was founded by the first Jason himself.

Lehman does a lot of traveling and signing events for fans of “Friday the 13th.”

Drink Indiana: Noble Stein Brewing Company

By TYLER SCHEFFLER Staff Writer T.R.Scheffler@iup.edu

This article contains opinion.

Noble Stein Brewing Company, located at 1170 Wayne Ave., is now open and ready for business.

The brewery held its grand opening Saturday after months of construction and years of planning and hard work. The founding of the brewery is credited to brothers Max and Alex Varner along with their friends, Ben Harley and Zack Morrow.

The group of friends have been brewing beer together for five years now, with their products

generating positive results. After several years of experimenting and attending small and big-time brewery events, the guys decided to finally try to manage their own brewery. “It seems like everyone is liking our beer and the way we have been brewing it, so if we can scale it up and keep it consistent, I do not see a reason why we cannot have a successful brewery,� Max Varner said.

Max Varner and Morrow both attended IUP, so now they are back in town to serve beer to the students they once were themselves.

From left to right: Sweet Oak Stout, Gone for the Day, Hop Hired Hands, Uncle Hefe and Stoney Run are all original to the Nobel Stein Brewery.

Providence, R.I., while Alex Varner worked right after high school.

Currently, the brewery has five ales on tap with a sixth in production, called Helen Black, for the fall season. The flavors are named Sweet Oak Stout, Gone for the Day IPA, Hop Hired Hands Saison, Uncle Hefe and Stoney Run. The Sweet Oak Stout is a dark, thick beer with a rich taste of

chocolate malt with hints of roasted barley. It could be described as a perfect after-meal beer to settle down with.

Gone for the Day is a thick, smooth IPA with a heightened percentage of 6.3 that satisfies the thirst in the back of the throat.

Hop Hired Hands does not lie about its name, adding a sweet, almost fruity taste.

Uncle Hefe continues the sweet,

thick trend with a distinct banana taste with a touch of clove.

Finally, the Stoney Run is a unique drink with a similar taste as the Uncle Hefe, but with a bit more of a hop. It is named after Stoney Run Road, located on the Hoodlebug Trail.

The brewery is officially open for business and is always working on new drinks to sell, especially in time for the winter season.

IUP men’s basketball welcomes former Pitt player to coaching staff

By EVAN MCCUE Staff Writer

E.M.McCue@iup.edu

With the 2016-2017 college basketball season rapidly approaching, IUP men’s coach Joe Lombardi and his team are gearing up for what promises to be another successful season.

Lombardi recently made an exciting move in preparation of the season, adding Tray Woodall to the coaching staff.

Woodall’s name should ring a bell for Pittsburgh Panther fans, as he played point guard under former Pitt head coach Jamie Dixon from 2008 to 2013.

He was hired by Lombardi Oct. 9 as the second assistant to fulfill a position held by Chuck Harris a season ago.

His rich basketball background offers some unique characteristics that the Crimson Hawks can utilize to gain an edge within the alwayscompetitive Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC).

Coach Woodall grew up playing basketball in Brooklyn, a place known for its production of some of the sport’s most legendary players and personalities, including the likes of Chris Mullin, Red Auerbach, Bernard King, Willis Reed and Billy Cunningham.

His high school years were spent in Jersey City, N.J., at the well-known St. Anthony’s High School program under the direction of legendary head coach Bob Hurley.

His training from Hurley will be beneficial to the team, as Hurley has coached St. Anthony’s to 28 New Jersey state championships, four national championships, and is one of few high school coaches

to be enshrined in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.

Woodall’s strong ties to these basketball hot spots also makes him very valuable when it comes to recruiting, as not many PSAC schools have been able to tap into the talent in such areas.

After state and national championships during his senior year at St. Anthony’s, Woodall headed to Oakland, Pa., to play in front of “The Zoo” under Dixon.

He spent five seasons with the Panthers after being granted a medical redshirt following a severe knee injury his freshman season.

After averaging 11.5 points and 5.1 assists per game in his final season, Woodall’s career at Pitt was done, and he had left his mark on the school’s history books.

Tray sits at fifth all-time in career assists (580), fourth in games played (139) and 13th in 3-point field goals made (139).

Lombardi believes that Woodall’s success at Pitt will translate well to the coaching world.

“Tray’s success as a player was a result of a very high basketball IQ and a strong work ethic, which are qualities that will help him succeed in his career as a coach at any level,” Lombardi said.

Lombardi later referred to Woodall’s impressive résumé.

“His training under Bob Hurley at St. Anthony’s and Jamie Dixon at Pittsburgh have given him a strong understanding of the fundamentals of the game, which he will be able to translate to our players, especially the guards,” Lombardi said.

Woodall will have a solid group of guards to work with this season, with Brandon Spain (senior, communications media), Anthony Glover (junior, marketing) and

(The Penn Archives) The IUP basketball tip-off is scheduled for Thursday at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex. The team’s exhibition schedule was released, featuring a pair of road games against Division I opponents, Syracuse University and Villlanova University. Both teams went to the Final Four a season ago, and Villanova was able to capture its first National Championship since 1985, the program’s second title in school history.

Dante Lombardi (sophomore, business) all returning from a season playing major roles and looking to take charge this year.

Woodall’s IUP coaching debut will come Nov. 1 at the Carrier Dome against Syracuse University, who are coming off a 2016 trip to the Final Four.

It will be an interesting season to see if the Crimson Hawks can bounce back from the departures of two of their key contributors a season ago in Daddy Ugbede and Brandon Norfleet, who graduated.

The Crimson Hawks will play the exhibition game against Syracuse Nov. 1, then will play one more exhibition game against the reigning Division I National Champions, Villanova University, at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia Nov. 5. The regular season will begin Nov. 11.

(IUP Athletics) Tray Woodall played point guard at the University of Pittsburgh from 2008 to 2013 and will now join IUP’s men’s basketball coaching staff as an assistant coach under head coach Joe Lombardi.

Both the IUP men’s and women’s cross country teams will be traveling to Kutztown University over the weekend to compete in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) Championships.

Leading the Crimson Hawks will be Austin Cooper (junior, geography and regional planning) and Jenna Lezanic (senior, employment and labor relations).

These two are expected to be among the top runners in the conference at the championships.

“I think they both have a good chance of being first team All-Conference,” coach Joey Zins said. “I think Austin can shoot for something more than All-Conference.”

The runners could face some obstacles on the course at Kutztown, however.

This is the first time IUP is running at Kutztown since 2013, which means that there is not one runner on the team who has seen this course before.

Zins is focusing on the positives for his squad.

“It could be an advantage, because we have ran harder courses for four or five meets,” Zins said.

An unforeseen obstacle could also be present for the Crimson

(IUP Athletics)

Hawks this weekend.

“I think weather conditions can pose as a challenge this weekend,” Zins said.

IUP has experienced a fairly dry and mild fall so far, but the forecast for the PSAC Championships is showing an 80 percent chance of rain.

Although this could pose a threat for the young IUP team, Zins is hopeful his team can overcome it.

“We will see,” he said. “I don’t know if it will favor us or not.”

Cooper and Lezanic are not the only Crimson Hawks who are expected to place as All-Conference.

Makena Felts (junior, nursing) and John Michael Mihalek (sophomore, psychology) are both expected to place as second team All-Conference.

“I think her [Felts] best races are ahead of her,” Zins said. “John Michael, he will have a shot at making second team.”

This will be IUP’s last race of the season, except for the runners who move forward to regionals.

IUP was scheduled to race in the Go-Fast River Run Oct. 29 in Lock Haven University, but have decided against it due to the large amount of injuries on the team.

The NCAA Atlantic Regional Championships will be held on Nov. 5 in Slippery Rock and the National Championships Nov. 19.

College football craziness continues

By JED JOHNSON Staff Writer

J.N.Johnson3@iup.edu

With eight weeks of the college football season in the books, Alabama continues to be in the driver’s seat as the top-ranked team in the nation.

However, other teams in the AP Top 25 have shifted positions in the past week.

With West Virginia’s 48-17 win at Texas Tech, the Mountaineers have jumped from 20th to 12th in the FBS rankings.

The Mountaineers improved their record to 5-0 overall, and the Red Raiders dropped to 3-3.

Mountaineer quarterback Skyler Howard completed 21 of 31 passes for 318 yards and a score, as well as 89 yards and two touchdowns on the ground on 12 carries.

Rushel Shell scored two touchdowns on the ground, leading the team with 104 yards on 21 carries.

Justin Crawford scored his third rushing touchdown of the year on West Virginia’s second drive of the game.

He also had a receiving touchdown in the second quarter.

Arkansas jumped from 22nd to 17th in the FBS rankings after defeating then-12th ranked Mississippi, 34-30, in Arkansas. The Rebels dropped to 23rd in the country after the contest.

Junior quarterback Austin Allen completed 19 of 32 passes for 229 yards, recording three touchdown passes and an interception in the process.

Allen has 18 touchdown passes and six interceptions for the Razorbacks this year.

Ole Miss had 26 fewer yards of total offense despite having the ball for 19 minutes and 22 seconds during the 60 minutes of the contest.

The game was tied at 20 at halftime, and the Rebels were up 3027 in the fourth quarter, but a Jared Cornelius 6-yard run with 2:20 left in the game was the Razorbacks’ go-ahead score.

Tennessee dropped nine positions in the rankings, from ninth to

18th, after dropping its contest to Alabama, 49-10, in Knoxville, Tenn.

Jalen Hurts completed 16 of 26 passes for 143 yards and an interception for the Crimson Tide, but also had 132 yards and three touchdowns on the ground on 12 carries.

Joshua Dobbs completed 16 of 27 passes for 92 yards and an interception for the Vols.

Baylor replaced Tennessee in the top 10 with its 49-7 win over the Kansas Jayhawks in Waco, Texas.

On the slate for Week 9 are games that could decide the fate of some teams from the Southeastern Conference.

Alabama will host No. 6 Texas A&M in a battle of undefeated teams, and No. 21 Auburn is hosting No. 17 Arkansas.

The Tigers lead the all-time series versus the Razorbacks, 1210-1, although Arkansas won their 2015 matchup, 54-46, in overtime.

No. 25 LSU will host No. 23 Ole Miss in a matchup Saturday night, in which the Rebels have a chance to bounce back after last week’s loss.

LSU entered the top 25 after defeating Southern Mississippi last week, 45-10.

Within the state of Pennsylvania, No. 2 Ohio State will play the Penn State Nittany Lions Saturday night in State College.

According to ESPN’s Football Power Index, Ohio State has a 84.4 percent chance of winning the game.

The Buckeyes average 49.3 points per game, and the Nittany Lions average 30.5 points per game.

Ohio State owns the all-time head-to-head advantage against Penn State, 17-13.

Penn State has had a solid year thus far as they enter this primetime Big Ten matchup with a record of 4-2.

This will be the team’s biggest challenge since the team was blown out by Michigan on the road, 49-10.

Head coach James Franklin will have his work cut out for him when his Nittany Lions host Urban Meyer and his Buckeyes Saturday night.

(TNS) Penn State sophomore running back Saquon Barkley has been the centerpiece of Penn State’s offensive scheme this season. Barkley has rushed for 582 yards and eight touchdowns through the first six games of the season for the Nittany Lions.

(IUP Athletics) IUP fell to East Stroudsburg University on Tuesday and will look to rebound when they travel to take on Bloomsburg University on Saturday. The Crimson Hawks will look to play a much more disciplined game against the Huskies after taking nine penalties against No. 2 ESU.

By MATT STAUB Staff Writer

M.A.Staub@iup.edu

The IUP field hockey team fell Tuesday to East Stroudsburg University, 2-0.

With the loss, IUP falls to 7-6 overall FIELD HOCKEY and 2-4 in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC). East Stroudsburg improves to 13-3 overall and 7-1 in the conference.

IUP was nearly able to get on the scoreboard first when Matti Reightler (sophomore, political science) fired a shot at the 20:12 mark in the first half, but the Warriors goalie made a quick save.

East Stroudsburg went into the half with a 1-0 lead.

Reightler fired another solid shot in the second half that was saved once again.

Reightler led the Crimson Hawks with three shots in the contest.

On the other side of the field, IUP goalie Alyssa Lerda (senior, earth/space science) was peppered with shots all day and finished with five saves.

East Stroudsburg scored again in the 51st minute to put the game out of reach.

The Warriors out-shot the Crimson Hawks, 22-4. They also held the advantage in penalty corners, 9-2.

IUP will complete their four-game road trip at 11 a.m. Saturday when they take on Bloomsburg University.

The Huskies are 10-5 on the season, but have lost their previous two games.

IUP has also previously defeated Bloomsburg earlier in the season by a score of 2-1.

The Crimson Hawks now sit in eighth place in the PSAC with a conference record of 2-4. They will need to show some more consistency down the stretch.

Week 7 of the NFL season is already upon us, and there are plenty of intriguing storylines to keep an eye out for heading into Sunday.

Before we discuss Sunday’s games, however, let’s take a closer look into what transpired in Week 6.

The Dallas Cowboys are riding high with a 5-1 record after defeating the struggling Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field, 30-16.

Quarterback Dak Prescott and running back Ezekiel Elliott, both rookies, have performed way above Dallas’ expectations, and now there could be a quarterback controversy brewing as longtime starter Tony Romo is slated to return in the coming weeks from an injury he suffered in the preseason.

On the other side, Green Bay is reeling at 3-2. Quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Packers’ offense is struggling mightily. They need some sort of spark to return to form atop the NFC North.

Speaking of the NFC North, the Minnesota Vikings have been the NFL’s darlings so far this season with an undefeated 5-0 record, making them the only undefeated team remaining in the league.

Quarterback Sam Bradford has been a pleasant surprise filling in for the injured Teddy Bridgewater.

Bradford will aim to continue his hot streak Sunday when he takes on his former squad, the Philadelphia Eagles.

The Pittsburgh Steelers were dealt a crushing blow to their championship hopes this year when star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger left the game with an injured leg.

The Steelers lost the game to the Miami Dolphins, 30-15.

Roethlisberger is out for four to six weeks, so backup Landry Jones

will be called upon to try to salvage the Steelers’ season.

His first task may be his toughest: defeating the mighty New England Patriots this Sunday.

AFC North fans can look forward to the lowly Cleveland Browns taking on the disappointing Cincinnati Bengals Sunday at Paul Brown Stadium.

The Bengals, a 12-4 team last year, are dealing with a 2-4 start to the year. Their road back to respectability starts Sunday against a winless Browns team.

Over in the NFC West, Sunday brings with it a primetime showdown between the Seattle Seahawks and Arizona Cardinals.

Quarterback Russell Wilson will try to put a huge dent in Arizona’s playoff aspirations after the Cardinals made it all the way to the NFC Championship game last season.

This could be a must-win for Arizona, a 3-3 team so far this year after a 13-3 campaign in 2015.

The Monday night game puts the defending Super Bowl champions in the spotlight, as the Denver Broncos host the Houston Texans.

This game marks the return of Texans quarterback Brock Osweiler to his old team.

The Denver fans don’t seem to miss him, however, as Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch have done well in their starts for the Broncos so far this year.
