Six O’Clock Series features Business Attire Fashion Show

By MARGARET BURRIS Staff Writer M.W.Burris@iup.edu

Knowing what to wear to a job interview is a crucial part of getting hired.

For this week’s Six O’Clock Series, the Career and Professional Development Center (CPDC) at Indiana University of Pennsylvania hosted a fashion show to help students to see good and bad examples of business attire.

Members of different sororities and fraternities showcased different styles of business fashion and strutted the runway in the Hadley Union Building Ohio Room.

Subdivisions of business fashion included interview attire, business casual, black-tie events and events outside of work.

For each fashion category, multiple examples, both good and bad, walked down the runway.

Sarah Luther, the new business development director at MetLife, and Zachary Saeva, the assistant director at the IUP Career and Professional Development Center, acted as co-hosts for the event.

After every student walked the run-

way, Luther and Saeva commented on the good and bad of each specific look.

There are many nuances to dressing appropriately for work, the show demonstrated.

In an interview setting, women should wear a simple heel and more basic colors as opposed to reds or pinks, according to Luther.

She added that women should be especially careful about wearing sheer shirts and making sure that undergarments are completely covered when in professional settings.

For skirts, women should stick to knee length and longer along with a good fit that is not too tight. Pantyhose are also recommended.

In general, when in an interview, prospective employees should dress conservatively.

In an interview setting, men should wear a well-fitted suit along with a matching tie and socks.

Saeva said that a classy thing men can do is wear their class ring if they attended the same college that their employer attended.

At the end of the fashion show, students were encouraged to text and vote for their favorite look from the show.

Michael Van Etten (junior, College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics) won the competition and received a $25 gift card to TJ Maxx.

TJ Maxx also supported the event and offered to donate clothing if necessary.

The CPDC worked in close collaboration with Greek Life in order to have this fashion show.

“This is what people are going to have to wear on a consistent basis,” said Eugene Mills (senior, kinesiology health & sport sciences), a member of Iota Phi Theta.

“Depending on where you work, you might have to wear a shirt and tie every day.”

Richard Ayala (senior, management), a member of Phi Beta Sigma, said he thought the event was useful for college students. “[I’m] glad that the CPDC did this,” he said. “This is the type of stuff that students will need to know out of college.

All students will have to go through an interview at some point.”

Saeva said that dressing professionally gives an equal playing field to all applicants regardless of their race, gender or nationality.

Geoscience department hosts first planetarium presentation

By LAUREN ROSSE Staff Writer L.T.Rosse@iup.edu

On Thursday, Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s department of geoscience held its first planetarium presentation of the semester, “The Dark of the Moon: Lunar Eclipse,” in Weyandt Hall.

IUP holds these events several times throughout the school year. They are free to both students and the general public.

“The geoscience department is home to a planetarium nine meters in diameter, and houses a 1966 Spitz A3P projector,” according to IUP’s website. “This outstanding teaching tool is used extensively in undergraduate instruction, both in introductory astronomy courses and in classes for earth and space science teaching majors.”

For the presentation, the projector in the planetarium cast the night sky of the previous evening, showing the stars, constellations, moon and other visible planets. The program was educational and explained some basic aspects of astronomy, pointing out the visible constellations in the sky at various times in the year.

Dr. Ken Coles, an associate professor in the geoscience department, was the coordinator and conductor of the

presentation. During the presentation, Coles showed the group different constellations, and talked about the history of each one.

Many of the constellations known today were named by the ancient Greeks and received their names based on what they look like, according to Coles. He also defined the times of the year when we can see certain constellations and how that led to the idea of astrology.

Coles mainly talked about the moon and the lunar eclipse, which took place Sunday. He explained why the moon would appear red and at what times the phenomenon was visible.

A lunar eclipse occurs when the earth’s shadow blocks the sun’s light, which would normally reflect on the moon. Because of this, the standard silvery color of the moon instead phases to a blood red. This can be explained by Rayleigh scattering, or the elastic scattering of light, as it is the same occurrence that causes the red-orange colors in a sunset or sunrise, as well as the blue color in the sky.

The lunar eclipse occurred between about 10:15 p.m. and 11:20 p.m., as that was the time when the earth’s shadow blocked the sun’s light completely.

The next planetarium show, during which IUP graduate students will present shows, will be held Dec. 2 at 7 p.m.

Psychology senior leads art therapy research

By STEPHANIE BACHMAN Staff Writer S.L.Bachman2@iup.edu

Shannon Kovalchick (senior, psychology) is leading a research project that is investigating the uses of a new art therapy technique.

The research is in the field of clinical psychology, and it features the art therapy technique known as person body outline.

Kovalchick is interested in studying the uses of this method to determine the ways it can be effective and how best to apply the activity toward achieving the desired results.

Kovalchick’s research is ongoing, but she said the first study, which was completed last spring, showed some very strong results that her team is building up on this semester.

With her faculty research adviser, Dr. John Mills, Kovalchick is carrying out the project with the assistance of Deanna Ansaldo (junior, art/psychology), Danielle Catrillo (sophomore, psychology) and Olivia Bailey (sophomore, psychology).

“I have been interested in art ther-

apy since I first heard about it in high school,” Kovalchick said.

“I knew that I wanted to do my thesis on something in that subject area, so I looked at some of the most recent research in the field and found that this was an activity that seemed to be helping people but lacked empirical, quantitative support and understanding.”

Kovalchick had the opportunity to present a poster of her findings at the Association for Psychological Sciences Annual Convention this May in New York City.

Additionally, Ansaldo and Catrillo headed the team by presenting a poster on the research at last year’s undergraduate scholar’s forum.

Kovalchick offered some advice to fellow undergraduates who are interested in pursuing their own research projects.

“My best advice is to just jump in,” she said.

“Find a professor or graduate student who is doing something interesting, and ask if you can help.

“Don’t wait for the door to open – knock. If you take the initiative to ask

for an opportunity, most of the time, people will help make one for you. If they don’t, then just try the next door.

“Also keep in mind that where you start doesn’t have to be what you do for the rest of your life.”

In addition to her current research, Kovalchick received the 2014 Foundation of Indiana University of Pennsylvania Community Volunteer Service Award.

Last summer, she was chosen to take part in a nationally competitive summer research fellowship at George Mason University, hosted by the American Psychological Association.

Kovalchick and her research team are hosting sessions for undergraduates interested in research or the human sciences.

It is titled “The Human Sciences: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut.” The first session was held Thursday in Uhler Hall Room 111.

These sessions will cover a diverse range of relevant topics, including discussions on preparing for future jobs today and how to give professional research presentations.

Counseling Center to offer group counseling

By KALI LEDGARD Lead News Writer K.J.Ledgard@iup.edu

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania Counseling Center has created its group counseling schedule for the fall semester.

There are three groups being offered to students: “Graduate Students,” “Understanding Yourself and Others” and “Women: Finding Our Way.” Each group will consist of five to eight students and is led by the counseling center therapists, all of whom are either graduate students working toward their doctorate degrees in psychology, are counselors or are clinical staff, according to Dr. Rita Drapkin, group counseling coordinator.

While individual counseling is always an option if a student does not feel comfortable discussing certain issues in a group of students, group counseling may be more beneficial for some students.

The “Graduate Students” group will be facilitated by Drapkin and graduate student Emily Lazar (psychology).

This group will meet Tuesdays from 3:20 p.m. to 4:50 p.m. and will cover issues many graduate students may face, such as adjusting to graduate school, the coursework demands of graduate school, anxieties about competition and career, coping with stress graduate school may bring, self-care and healthy interpersonal relationships, according to IUP’s website.

“Women: Finding Our Way” is a group for women who may have difficulty developing and maintaining relationships with others. This group is facilitated by graduate students Abby Costello (psychology) and Camille Interligi (psychology) and will be held Wednesdays from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.

This will allow students to learn how to express thoughts and feelings and to learn about themselves to better their relationships. They will also experience giving and receiving support and feedback, according to the website.

“Understanding Yourself and Others” is open to all students concerned with issues of self-awareness and interpersonal interaction like academics, relationships, families, body image and self-esteem. This group will take place

Thursdays from 3:30 p.m. to 4:45 p.m., and is facilitated by graduate student Gabi Huffman (psychology) and Drapkin, according to the website.

Group counseling has been offered at the university for more than 20 years, and is held during both semesters.

“We offer groups both fall and spring, and the groups are not always the same,” Drapkin said.

Meeting times for the groups are scheduled during times when there are the fewest number of classes taking place in order to allow all students the opportunity to participate. The three groups selected for this fall semester were chosen because the Counseling Center staff believes that they will cover most of the needs students may have.

“We try to offer groups that are more likely to run; we thought with these three groups we were going to be able to cover most people,” Drapkin said.

Drapkin expanded upon the benefits of group counseling.

“There’s a lot of research that shows that some groups are more effective than individual counseling,” Drapkin said.

Students wishing to participate in the groups are required to set up an initial meeting with the group facilitators in order to see which group will suit them best. These initial meetings take up to 45 minutes and can be scheduled by contacting the counseling center as soon as possible.

The initial meeting is held to decide which group will best suit the students’ needs, and if there is not a group for them, they are encouraged to either schedule individual counseling sessions or return next semester to see if there is a new group better suited for them.

“It’s a two-way meeting,” Drapkin said. “We’re trying to learn about them, and they are trying to learn about us.”

Once students complete the initial meeting and are placed in groups, they are encouraged to appear to their meeting weekly.

These counseling groups are closed groups, which means once the meetings begin, no additional student may be permitted into the group.

This is done in order for students to develop trust among each other and to reduce anxiety levels, according to Drapkin.

IUP alumnus shares 40-year journey of President’s China

By TYLER MILLER Staff Writer T.C.Miller2@iup.edu

The President’s China, inherited

by Indiana University of Pennsylvania alumnus John Hunicutt (1972), has been through a 40-year journey starting in upstate New York at the Syracuse China Company and ending at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex loading dock.

The President’s China earned its name from a rumor that former IUP President Dr. William W. Hassler (1969-1975) used the china to eat his meals.

The china began its journey by being manufactured at the Syracuse China Company in 1951 as “restaurant dinnerware,” pattern SY 441. The china was decorated with images of spring flowers and a teal green band that wrapped around the rims. The set was comprised of 134 pieces of Syracuse SY 441.

It also included one W.S. George Derwood ivory gravy boat, two buffalo china oval platters with Pennsylvania crests, one Carr china oval platter with a PA crest and two Jackson vitrified china oval platters with Pennsylvania crests.

When the china arrived at IUP, the university was still named the State Teachers College at Indiana, and was used by the general student dining population in the dining halls.

When the dinnerware’s inheritor arrived to IUP in 1968, the china was no longer in use by the dining halls, but it moved to a Philadelphia Street address and was, as the rumor goes, reserved for whom it was named.

In late-1972, the china was entrusted to Hunicutt, who was then drafted into the Vietnam War. Hunicutt said that “the war draft got me, not the china.”

As Hunicutt went to aid in the war efforts, The President’s China was entrusted to Hunicutt’s father, a “depression-era product who threw little away and cared for it all,” according to Hunicutt.

Hunicutt’s father had the dinnerware in the basement of a house in Allegheny County, carefully stored in large, lidded metal containers, packed with crumpled pieces of recycled McKeesport Daily newspapers and a few Sunday Pittsburgh Press papers.

Apparently it shared space with 10 years of National Geographic magazines, an old three-legged chair and the many findings of a habitual collector.

The President’s China left its cellar and was reclaimed by Hunicutt at the completion of his military career in the early ’90s. The duo then moved into a new home in Dayton, Ohio, with Hunicutt’s second wife. The china was then kept in “the right corner of my detached two-car garage,” Hunicutt said.

There it stayed for another dozen years, unused and safely kept.

In the early 2010s, Hunicutt began to worry that over the 40-year period china has been in circulation, it was beginning to lose its identity: that no one but him would know the great odyssey the dinnerware has made.

That, and he also needed to clear up room in the corner of his garage.

Thus began the china’s eventual journey back home to Indiana.

At first Hunicutt didn’t know where to deliver the china to next. Afterall, the china is just a set of restaurant dishes with pretty patterns and Pennsylvania crests, so there’s not a big market for those in Ohio.

“It was decision time,” Hunicutt said. “My wife wanted her part of the garage back for her car.”

So Hunicutt decided he should return The President’s China to the original place where it was known by that name: IUP. The challenge Hunicutt faced was returning china that was likely unmissed

by IUP after 40-plus years. Hunicutt juggled ideas to return the china.

“Is there an IUP museum that would care about dishes?” Hunicutt said.

“Surely there’s no one still employed in the university dining halls that was there 40 years ago.”

After a quick look through some IUP web pages, Hunicutt found out the food services at IUP were now run by Aramark.

Hunicutt then sent an email to

(Photo submitted by John Hunicutt) The President’s China traveled from upstate New York to the KCAC.

Emilee Baran, Aramark catering manager, briefly informing her on the existence of The President’s China.

To Hunicutt’s surprise, Baran replied to his email within a couple of hours expressing interest in the china to complete a set.

“I can only conjecture her surprise at the number of pieces of The President’s China that were about to make their journey home to IUP,” Hunicutt said.

The china’s 40-year odyssey ended

where it started on Sept. 13 when Hunicutt made the drive to IUP with dishes in tow.

He made the final handoff to several staff members at the back loading dock of the KCAC. “Only one question remains: Does anybody know if IUP President Dr. Michael A. Driscoll in fact uses The President’s China?” Hunicutt said.

“It looked like something he might enjoy a nice meal on.”

Color Me DPhiE Run fundraises for anorexia nervosa awareness, prevention and recovery through supporting, educating and connecting individuals, families and professionals.”

Daneisha Nichole McGeary (sophomore, food and nutrition), the organizer and leader of the event, said ANAD deals a lot with body image.

“It helps men and women know that they don’t have to look a certain way or be a certain size to be beautiful,” McGeary said. “ANAD tries to show that ‘nobody is perfect,’ and they also say that ‘you were born to be real, not perfect.’”

ANAD also recognizes that eating disorders are a prevalent issue in today’s society, with 20 million women and 10 million men being diagnosed in the United States at any given time.

Focus on preventing, not debating, college sexual assaults St. Louis Post-Dispatch TNS

The following editorial appeared in the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Thursday, Sept. 24: A much-needed conversation about how to prevent sexual assault on college campuses is being hijacked. Social media are being manipulated into debating about whether the numbers in recent studies are right. Whether the studies are accurate. Whether this is really about a liberal agenda.

For crying out loud – stop it.

Whether it’s 1 in 4, 1 in 5 or 1 in 100, it’s too many sexual assaults. That is one too many times that a woman

– a young and usually inexperienced woman – has been kissed, touched, fondled or raped.

It is one too many times that a man took advantage of a woman no matter the message she was giving him.

Knock it off. It’s about misused power. It’s about a crime.

This is part of the same thinking, or lack thereof, that accompanies men telling women what they can and cannot do with their bodies, their health care, their ambition and their dreams.

Denying women full pay (78 cents for every $1 a man makes), family and early child care benefits and adequate maternity leave, makes it tough to crawl out of the sub-basement of despair that goes along with being a

second-class citizen.

The latest study that is being picked apart was released Monday by the Association of American Universities.

The AAU commissioned the largest survey of its kind, with responses last spring from 150,000 students at 27 colleges and universities.

The survey’s findings, similar to those from previous studies, showed that more than 1 in 4 women experience sexual assault during four years of college.

Let’s stop debating the surveys and the numbers. It’s simple: Any unwanted contact is an assault. It doesn’t matter how trivial or how benign the contact may be.

Respect Indiana this HoCo It’s that time of year again for Indiana University of Pennsylvania students: Homecoming weekend is right around the corner.

As a university, we’ve had some relatively “bad PR” over the past few celebratory weekends. IUPatty’s 2014 may be the best example, with a YouTube video of the infamous “South Seventh Street Riot” reaching almost 20,000 views in about a year and a half. And we cannot forget, of course, the outdoor “rager” on Fisher Avenue during 2013’s homecoming celebration.

Many IUP alumni, professors, parents and even current students expressed displeasure with the various clips of IUP students partying during these designated weekends. It was almost as if they were surprised by this strange phenomenon of college students partying.

While it may be difficult for us to understand why these people are angered by our drunken actions, we must respect all those we affect during these times due to our selfish urge to party.

Respect the professors of this university, who have worked their whole lives to find a place as reputable as IUP to exercise their wealth of knowledge.

Respect the police officers, who would probably rather be spending time at home with their families on a Saturday afternoon than babysitting 20-year-old college students.

Respect the parents of our students, who resist calling their kids just to make sure they’re OK. Homecoming weekend is probably a parent’s worst nightmare.

Respect IUP alumni, who want to look back at their alma mater and see it prospering from the ridiculous amount of donations they’ve sent in over the years.

Respect the residents of Indiana, who welcome us into their town every academic year. That’s not your yard, so don’t act like it is.

Lastly, respect your future selves, who will one day be sitting in an interview for a dream job. You’re qualified, you’re personable and you’ve got a degree from IUP to back you up. But what happens when the interviewer says, “IUP? I hear they do a little too much partying and not quite enough studying over there.”

Then what?

Now, this is not an instruction to stay in all weekend and stare solemnly out the window of your dorm room. Go out and have fun, but remember: It’s easier to stay out of trouble than to get out of it.

ICC holds LGBT Film Festival fundraiser

By MARY ROMEO Lead Wet Ink Writer M.E.Romeo@iup.edu

The Indiana Cares Campaign (ICC) held a fundraiser at The Coney Island Saturday to kick off its 12th annual LGBT film festival, which starts Oct. 3 at 6 p.m.

The entry fee to the event was a $5 donation at the door. Community members enjoyed live music from local Indiana band Grist for the Mill, raffle prizes, appetizers and beer on the upstairs level of the restaurant.

The mission of ICC is to bring awareness and understanding of all sexualities in the Indiana community, explained Lynne Alvine, emerita of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania English department.

“People are killing themselves because they’re afraid to be who they are,” Alvine said.

“The suicide rate is very high among young people that come out as gay or lesbian, and we try to provide a venue for people who need to talk about their problems,” said Patti Holmes, the secretary of ICC. ICC was founded 15 years ago, with film festival being formed three years after.

The films originally premiered at the Indiana Theater for several years but have since been relocated to the Beard Auditorium in Stouffer Hall.

Linda Cline, head chair of ICC, spent months and many hours contacting, searching and networking with filmmakers, trying to find LGBT films to premiere.

Entry to the film festival is free. However, donations are welcome to help pay for the films that are being shown.

“The films that we choose to show is their first screening, so they could be as

much as $500,” Alvine said.

Upon arrival to the film festival, attendees will receive a pamphlet with the movie descriptions and a raffle ticket to win some of the donations provided by local business and organizations.

Along with the feature films that will be premiering every Saturday, short films will also be shown afterward.

On Oct. 3, Stouffer Hall will be playing “Out To Win,” a documentary examining the lives and careers of aspiring and professional gay and lesbian athletes.

On Oct. 10, “The Mask You Live” will premiere.

It focuses on boys and young men struggling to stay true to themselves while dealing with the narrow definition that the media and pop culture have defined as masculinity.

On Oct. 17, “Liz In September” will be featured, a movie based on the

lesbian-focused play, “Last Summer at Bluefish Cove.”

Liz makes a bet that she can seduce the straight newcomer, Eva, and the two very different woman end up discovering new perspectives from one another.

On Oct. 24, “Girl King” will be shown.

Set in the 1600s, it tells the story of Queen Kristina, who chooses to make one of the most controversial decisions in history and is torn between her political duties and personal aspirations for another woman.

“Kiss Me, Kill Me” will be featured Oct. 31.

It is about a successful TV producer, Dusty Young, who discovers his partner was involved with an affair.

After his partner has been shot and killed, Dusty must clear his name as the suspect and find the killer.

Alvine explained that the film festi-

val is a great opportunity for the Indiana community and university to get together.

“When people come together to enjoy alternative content films, it promotes awareness and understanding to gender and sexual minorities,” Alvine said.

Additionally, some classes in the theater and English departments will provide extra credit for students that attend the film festival.

The ICC holds meetings on the second Monday of every month at 5:30 p.m. at the Commonplace Coffee House on Grant Street.

It had informational tables at the Northern Appalachian Folk Festival in downtown Indiana from Sept. 11-12 and at the Indiana County Fair from from Aug. 31 to Sept. 5.

The ICC’s annual fall picnic took place Sept. 13.

Banjo left unscathed after large burglary

By SAMANTHA BARNHART Managing Editor S.E.Barnhart@iup.edu

A home in the 400 block of Locust Street was rampaged Friday night while the residents were away.

An Indiana first, the student-rented home was virtually wiped clean. When Indiana Borough Police arrived on scene, they found the home was completely empty, save one item: a Fender Allegro banjo.

The four renters claimed that they were stunned at the huge number of items the thieves had stolen. Larger items included a 40-inch television, four bed frames and mattresses, a kitchen table, an L-shaped couch, two easy chairs and a full-size Whirlpool refrigerator.

The police report noted an array of smaller items, such as the posters on the walls, all of the seashells in the bathroom, the lighters, the fruit-snack packs, the tissue boxes, socks and mugs.

“The thieves took some really questionable items when they were clearing this place,” officer Danny Daniels said. “They stole the dishrags, the toilet brush, even the live-action movie ‘The Last Airbender.’ Why didn’t they just leave those things behind? It doesn’t make sense.”

While it’s still early in the case, po-

lice are beginning to suspect some kind of foul play.

“It’s all very suspicious,” borough police officer Chad Kroeger said. “I know I wouldn’t have taken those Nickleback albums unless I was forced.”

Gary Winters (senior, misinformation systems) said he was surprised by the recent crime.

“I never would have thought that there would be crime in this neighborhood,” he said. “There’s never crime.

It’s so safe that no one locks their door here, and we haven’t bothered to fix the streetlights in 10 years.

“Who would rob a home here?”

Others in the community remained optimistic.

“Thank God the thieves at least left that banjo,” said Bobby Jean Ray, a local who lives in the neighborhood.

“That wild, robust twang has lulled me to sleep every night around 4 a.m. since my neighbors moved in.”

Police said they plan to continue with the investigation until they find answers to this mysterious burglary.

“I want to get to the bottom of this enormous burglary, and figure out how the perpetrators were able to steal this much stuff,” Daniels said. “But even more than that, I want to figure out why they stole everything but the banjo.

“They even took out the garbage,” Daniels said. “But not the banjo.”

Pope Francis drops Vaticanapproved album ‘Wake Up!’

Pope Francis’ “Wake Up!” album is available for pre-order on iTunes.

By SARAH PARVINI Los Angeles Times TNS

The “pope of surprises” just threw another curveball.

He’s dropping an album later this year.

Pope Francis will spread his message via a Vatican-approved album titled “Wake Up!” It’s available for pre-order on iTunes.

The “prog-rock” album is a collaboration with digital distribution company Believe Digital, Rolling Stone reports.

It includes excerpts from Francis’ speeches laid over a variety of music, including pop rock and Gregorian chant.

The album debuts Nov. 27, but fans don’t have to wait until then.

One track, “Wake Up! Go! Go! Forward!” can be downloaded now.

“The Lord speaks of a responsibility that the Lord gives you,” Francis says about two minutes into the song. “It is a duty to be vigilant, not to allow the pressures, the temptations and the sins to dull our sensibility of the beauty of holiness.”

There’s also an Easter egg of sorts for Californians, when Francis urges listeners to “Go! Go ahead!”

That’s what he said during the homily he delivered at the canonization of Father Junipero Serra, the 18th century founder of nine California missions, in Washington on Wednesday, when he told worshipers to follow Serra’s motto: Siempre adelante, or “always forward.”

More than 10.3 million Christian and gospel music titles were sold in

(TNS)

2013, according to Nielsen.

Although this is a small portion of the music market – 3.5 percent of total album sales – the genre as a whole is doing well.

This isn’t producer Don Giulio Neroni’s first papal album.

He also worked with Pope John Paul II on the album “Abba Pater,” and with Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI on “Alma Mater.”

“I tried to be strongly faithful to the pastoral and personality of Pope Francis: the pope of dialogue, open doors, hospitality. For this reason, the voice of Pope Francis in ‘Wake Up!’ dialogues music,” he told Rolling Stone.

The record will feature 11 songs with the pontiff speaking in four languages: English, Portuguese, Spanish and Italian.

Defense helped Indiana University of Pennsylvania outscore Mercyhurst University in a 35-14 victory at Tullio Field in Erie Saturday.

IUP (2-1) held Mercyhurst (3-1) to 6 rushing yards as it snapped FOOTBALL the Lakers’ 10-game winning streak, which dated back to the last time these two teams met in 2014.

A shorthanded Crimson Hawks team defeated the Lakers in convincing fashion, as it never trailed in the contest.

Senior safety Eric Williams (criminology), running back Chris Temple (sophomore, kinesiology, health & sport science) and sophomore receiver Jordan Brown (kinesiology, health & sport science) did not play because of various injuries.

IUP held the ball for 35 minutes and also picked up some key first downs late in the contest, stymieing any hopes Mercyhurst had of a comeback.

Quarterback Lenny Williams (freshman, accounting) played the entire

terceptions were returned for touchdowns.

In fact, the first score of the game came when IUP’s Takhi Turner (sophomore, kinesiology, health & sport science) intercepted a pass and returned it 7 yards.

There were also interception returns of 80 and 50 yards from Dorian Lane (senior, accounting) and Steve Franco (junior, marketing), respectively.

Franco, who was selected as the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference West Division Defensive Athlete of the Week, had two interceptions on the day to go along with four total tackles.

TAkEAWAYS

By ARI OHAION Contributing Writer A.D.Ohaion@iup.edu

There are several topics to be discussed following college football’s fourth week of action.

Here are some takeaways from the week that was in the Big Ten Conference: 1. Cardale Jones deserves to be Ohio State University’s starting quarterback.

Last week, Ohio State as a whole displayed a poor effort in a 20-13 win against Northern Illinois University.

Cardale Jones’ performance caused him to be benched within the first half in favor of J.T. Barrett after a pedestrian 4 for 9 passing for 36 yards and two interceptions.

Instead of keeping his head down, Jones came out strong Saturday against Western Michigan University with 288 yards and two touchdown passes.

In fact, three of his 19 completions went for more than 36 yards in Ohio State’s 38-12 victory.

2. University of Michigan will be ranked after a dominant performance against Brigham Young University.

Michigan proved that it should be taken seriously in the Big Ten after its 31-0 win over No. 22-ranked BYU. The Wolverines defensive line was too much for the Cougars, as constant pressure from the front seven and blanket coverage from the defensive backs caused Brigham Young quarterback Tanner Mangum to complete 12 of 28 passes for 55 yards.

Michigan’s run game stole the show with a De’Veon Smith 60-yard touchdown run. Smith added 125 yards on the ground, finishing one yard shy of the career-high 126 yards he set against Oregon State University Sept. 12.

Quarterback Jake Rudock, who transferred to Michigan from the University of Iowa, added 33 rushing yards and two rushing touchdowns. Rudock looked comfortable in the passing game, and his decision-making improved since his disastrous three-interception performance against the University of Utah in the opener.

With No. 20 Georgia Tech University and No. 25 University of Missouri losing Saturday, there is no reason for Michigan not to be ranked.

3. Christian Hackenberg reminded us all why he’s a projected first-round draft pick.

For the past three weeks, Penn State University quarterback Christian Hackenberg played like his post-college career will not be in the NFL. Part of the blame could be put on his offensive line, which caused him to take a beating week after week.

Fortunately, Penn State’s offensive line protected its signal caller Saturday, allowing only two sacks on 37 dropbacks.

Hackenberg took full advantage of the protection with 296 yards and three touchdowns in a 37-21 victory against San Diego State University. If Penn State’s line keeps improving, we can expect big things out of Hackenberg this season.

4. Just like OSU, Michigan State University is vulnerable.

In the world of football, sometimes numbers do lie.

Despite MSU beating Central Michigan University by 20 points Saturday, the game was much closer than the scoreboard read. The Spartans were leading 17-0 in the second quarter until the Chippewas scored 10 unanswered points.

The Spartans were unable to pull away until scoring one touchdown with 8:37 remaining in the game and another with 3:21 remaining to win the game 30-10.

5. Indiana University had a comfortable record before it began conference play.

The Hoosiers took advantage of their easy first four games of the season that featured teams from weak conferences.

They did manage one win against a weak ACC opponent in Wake Forest.

Although they are undefeated at 4-0, don’t expect their perfection to last much longer – they play Ohio State, Michigan State and Penn State within a four-week span.

6. The Hoosiers are dominating statistically thus far.

Hoosiers running back Jordan Howard and wide receiver Ricky Jones lead the Big Ten in rushing and receiving yards, respecitvely, while quarterback Nate Sudfeld is second in passing yards, touchdown passes and quarterback rating in the Big Ten. 7. University of Maryland continued to struggle in its rivalry with West Virginia University.

The rivalry between the Maryland Terrapins and West Virginia Mountaineers dates back to 1919.

The Mountaineers are on a twogame win streak against the Terrapins after a 45-6 annihilation Saturday. The Mountaineers have won nine of the last 10 games in the series.

Maryland will have to wait five years to gain vengeance on the Mountaineers, since the next time they are scheduled to play each other is in 2020.

8. The Big Ten West will come down to two teams.

With the best Big Ten teams in the East Division, Northwestern University and University of Wisconsin-Madison have the best chance to win the West Division.

Northwestern and Iowa are tied at 4-0 right now, but Wisconsin isn’t far behind at 3-1.

Either Wisconsin or Northwestern should win the West because they are the top two teams in their respective division in terms of national ranking.

Fortunately for both teams, they won’t play top-ranked Ohio State or Michigan State while some of their other division rivals do.

9. The University of Nebraska experienced highs and lows in the fourth quarter this season.

You never know how the Cornhuskers will play in the fourth quarter.

In their opener, they got shut out in

the fourth quarter and allowed a gamewinning Hail Mary touchdown against BYU. In the second game, they scored 17 in the fourth quarter while allowing only six points to the University of South Alabama.

In its third week of play, Nebraska went on an impressive 23-point fourthquarter rally to ultimately end up losing to the Miami Hurricanes in overtime.

They followed that performance by winning 36-28 despite allowing 21 fourth-quarter points against the University of Southern Mississippi.

10. The Big Ten posted its best record of the season, going 13-1.

The Big Ten posted its best weekly showing thus far, as every team other than Purdue University was victorious.

This is a vast improvement in comparison to its 9-6 record during the opening week. There are six Big Ten matchups lined up for Saturday.

By VAUGHN DALZELL Lead Sports Writer V.S.Dalzell@iup.edu

The Pittsburgh Steelers (2-1) avoided a loss in St. Louis against the Rams (1-2) Sunday but suffered one anyway as quarterback Ben Roethlisberger suffered a medial collateral ligament sprain that’s expected to sideline him four to six weeks.

During the third quarter, Rams safety Mark Barron sacked Roethlisberger.

The 6-foot-5, 241-pound quarterback went down awkwardly, and he immediately held his left knee. Roethlisberger was immediately carted off the field.

Roethlisberger, who hasn’t missed a game since 2012, was still credited with the win. The 12-6 victory was career win No. 108, which puts him ahead of Hallof-Famer Terry Bradshaw on the Steelers all-time wins list for quarterbacks.

Roethlisberger finished the day 20 of 24 passing with 192 yards and an interception.

Michael Vick will take over as the

starter for the time being. He held onto the lead in Sunday’s game and went 5 of 6 passing for 38 yards.

The injury to Roethlisberger didn’t overshadow the return of star running back Le’Veon Bell, who was suspended for the first two games of the season.

Bell had 19 carries for 62 yards and a touchdown. He also had seven receptions on eight targets for 70 yards.

Vick’s other weapon for the next couple weeks could be arguably the NFL’s best receiver in Antonio Brown.

Brown had 11 receptions on 13 targets for 108 yards Sunday, all of which came from Roethlisberger.

Brown’s streak of five receptions for 50 yards reached 35 consecutive games during the first quarter.

The Steelers played an even game with the Rams, winning the total-yards battle 259 to 258, respectively. Both teams had one turnover apiece, but the Rams dominated up front with five sacks and 33 yards lost.

This is the first time this season the Steelers defense allowed less than 300

yards in a game and its got its first interception as Will Allen picked off Nick Foles in the fourth quarter. Allen also led the team with seven tackles.

The defensive backs in general had a decent day against the Rams, holding Nick Foles to 197 yards on 19 of 28 passes and the aforementioned interception.

The Rams own the league’s worst NFL offense thus far, averaging 274.3 yards per game.

For the Rams, former University of Pittsburgh star and 2014 NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year Aaron Donald recorded a sack against his favorite team growing up and proceeded to do the Antonio Brown touchdown celebration.

Cornerback Cortez Allen and linebacker Ryan Shazier both sat out Sunday. Allen missed because of a knee injury and Shazier because of a shoulder injury.

Backup running back DeAngelo Williams had one carry on Sunday after totaling 41 carries in the first two games.

Sports

Pittsburgh will play on national television against the Baltimore Ravens (03) Thursday, and both teams have a lot to prove.

The Steelers are 5-7 against the Ravens since 2010.

Vick will make his first start for the Steelers.

The last time he played the Ravens, he was wearing a Philadelphia Eagles jersey in 2012 and threw for 371 yards on 23 of 32 passes with one touchdown and two interceptions. He also added 10 carries for 34 yards and a touchdown.

The Eagles won 24-23.

The Ravens are 0-3 for the first time in franchise history after a 28-24 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Steelers’ No. 2 receiver Martavius Bryant will be available to the team Friday following his four-game suspension.

The Steelers look to improve to 3-1 for the first time since the 2010 season.

They finished that season with a 31-25 loss to the Green Bay Packers in the Super Bowl.
