As the week came to a close, so did The Mystical Arts of Tibet’s visit to Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

Khentrul Rinpoche joined the monastery at 9 years old and is now the head monk. As head monk, he is the only monk in the group permitted to speak.

“Our tour takes us to a lot of different colleges, different campuses, and I have to say this visit to IUP has been one of the most pleasant,” Rinpoche said. “The campus is very beautiful. It is kind of cold here, and the monks like that because they are from Tibet, so they are more used to high-altitude climates.”

The group of 10 Tibetan monks set up in the Hadley Union Building Ohio Room Oct. 19 and spent the next week organizing activities for students and Indiana residents, including lectures, a sand mandala construction, puzzles, butter sculpting and prayer flag making.

Dr. Stuart Chandler, IUP religious studies professor, organized the monks’ visit.

“The monks love coming to IUP,” Chandler said. “This is the fourth time.

They love interacting with the students.

You’ll see them [in the Ohio Room] working on the puzzles with some students or making peace flags with stu-

dents or helping students with the sand art, so the monks love to be here, and they love to go to Folger Dining Hall and the HUB and get their food there.”

Chandler said he was extremely pleased with the monks’ visit.

“When you hear about it, it doesn’t mean much, but when you come and you see it, it’s pretty amazing with the sand mandala and the butter sculpture,” he said.

“This is the first year we’ve had a butter sculpture. We were very lucky because there aren’t a lot of monks that do that anymore, but one of the monks specialized in it.”

The visit ended Monday with a closing ceremony, which began in the HUB Ohio Room. The monks performed a chant for the audience, and then the monks dismantled the sand mandala that they created throughout the past week, giving half of the sand to the audience and distributing the other half to a naturally flowing stream on 15th Street.

“It was so moving,” Chandler said.

“I love the chanting, [and] I think that everyone just finds it so amazing.”

After the ceremony, Rinpoche commented on the experience.

“The people [of IUP] are not only very welcoming but have taken a keen interest in the kind of activities we have done,” he said. “It was very meaningful for us, also very satisfactory.”

The Tibetan monks’ closing presentation consisted of a Monday afternoon march from the HUB to 15th Street.

International Education Six O’Clock Series discusses study abroad Week embraces diversity

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

For the Six O’Clock Series this week, Andy Kent, the education abroad adviser for Indiana University of Pennsylvania, hosted Martin Tillman, an international education consultant on student career development and graduate employability.

“A lot of times,” Kent said, “students don’t take that next step and consider how abroad experiences can help them get careers.”

Kent then added that the program Monday sought to inform students how education abroad can better their resumes and make them better candidates for jobs.

Then, a short video about a student traveling to China to learn Mandarin Chinese was shown. The student discussed his passion for Chinese culture and how traveling to China helped him break into his international career.

Tillman then took the floor and said that he believed the video described everything students need to know about education abroad. Not only can students find themselves

as they travel, Tillman said, but they can also satiate their wanderlust while learning career skills.

Tillman said that he wanted students to view international education in a different way.

He asked the demographic of the audience and then reached out to freshmen when he said, “Prepare for the experience of the context of what you’re doing in the next four years.”

He continued by telling the audience how they would change if they chose to study abroad.

“Any time you interact with people abroad, it will increase your cross-culture sensitivity,” Tillman said.

The career development benefits from studying abroad include learning language skills, a heightened sense of awareness of international issues, intercultural skills and an improved ability to work with others, Tillman said.

He then discussed how soft skills, such as communicating effectively, are more important to employers than the degree that prospective employees have.

He also added that many employers value prospective employees being able to work with people who hold

values that are different from their own. Tillman also said that an internship abroad is even more valuable than studying abroad.

“There is no doubt in my mind that going abroad… will change how you see things,” Tillman said. “You will be a different individual because you’ve studied abroad.”

Tillman then introduced a few faculty members to talk about their experiences abroad.

Brandon Vick, a professor in the economics department, described his travels to the Netherlands. In his junior year, Vick chose to travel to the Netherlands because he was enthralled by the landmarks that it possessed.

During his time there, Vick learned to problem solve and learned about another culture.

He described how the new and unusual culture stressed him out at times and how he took this in stride – he learned how to adapt to a different world from the one he had grown used to back at home.

Vick, Tillman and Kent encourage students to look into studying abroad, as it is beneficial not only to students’ resumes but also to their mindsets.

ASA fundraises for Special Olympics Alumna hosts paint party

Lead News Writer K.J.Ledgard@iup.edu

Lead Wet Ink Writer M.E.Romeo@iup.edu

It’s not every Sunday that nine kickball teams square off to support a good cause.

Alpha Sigma Alpha’s kickball tournament, Kickin’ It With ASA, raised $612 for the sorority’s philanthropy organization, the Special Olympics, at the Co-Op Park.

ASA philanthropy chair Alexis Blouch (senior, communications media) discussed the event Thursday.

“We have three philanthropies that we raise money for, and Special Olympics is our biggest one,” he said. “We will be hosting events for the other philanthropies, but we decided that the kickball tournament would raise money for the Special Olympics.”

The ASA sisters did not participate as a team for kickball. Instead, they cooked hamburgers and hot dogs and offered drinks and chips for $1 to $2. “[We were there from] 10:30 a.m. setting things up and cooking the food,” Brianna Lotz (sophomore, marketing) said. “We also decided who would coaching the teams. I’ll be

Alpha Sigma Alpha’s kickball tournament raised $612 for The Special Olympics Sunday at the Co-Op Park.

coaching [Phi Delta Theta].”

The teams were separated by men and women, and each team needed at least eight players to participate. Both fields at the park were utilized.

There were three sorority teams: Delta Zeta, Alpha Gamma Delta and Alpha Sigma Tau. Five fraternity teams also participated: Phi Delta Theta, two groups of Phi Kappa Psi, Acacia and Kappa Sigma. One team did not belong to a fraternity, but participated solely to support the good cause.

“We came here to play, conquer and donate,” said Rufio Meoli (senior, sports administration), team leader of the Club Rufio team.

The teams that participated paid a registration fee of $60. The profits from the food being sold also went toward the organization. The teams were encouraged to wear uniforms to differentiate themselves from the others.

Blouch hoped to raise at least $500, but was pleasantly surprised when her sorority surpassed the goal by $112.

It’s the perfect time of year to paint the trees, and some students were able to do so Thursday – with a twist.

Local artist Cathy Paterson, an Indiana University of Pennsylvania alumna, hosted the inaugural Brush Strokes Paint Party on Thursday in Suites on Maple East Room G-18.

Sponsored by student organizations BACCHUS and Students Opting for Alternative Residence (SOAR), Paterson led the step-by-step paint class.

No experience was necessary, but the class cost $10.

Members of BACCHUS and SOAR were among the 14 students registered for the event. Students painted a scenic fall tree, but were encouraged by Paterson to give it a twist and make it their own by avoiding flat colors and using color mixing to make the painting more three-dimensional.

“I like the fact that even though we’re doing step by step, feel free to add your own twist to it any way you like,” Paterson said.

Paterson has been teaching art for 34 years, and she is currently an art teacher at Marion Center High School. She also

holds paint parties at the Indiana Mall, where she instructs groups on how to paint beach scenes, flowers and other types of scenery.

Ann Sesti, assistant director of IUP’s Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs program, once saw Paterson at her location in the mall, and she decided to invite her to come teach students. Given her connection to the college, Paterson agreed to teach the class.

“I like to give back,” she said. “I’m an alumna here, I served on the IUP museum board for four years, and I take student teachers from IUP,” Paterson said.

Student organizations sponsored the event to provide activities for the students on campus, according to Sesti.

“They’re both organizations that like to provide activities for students,” Sesti said. “This was a nice addition.”

Nicole Shoop (junior, communications media) had heard about the event through The Beak, IUP’s email newsletter, and believed it was a good opportunity to temporarily get away from stress.

“I saw it on The Beak and thought it was an awesome idea,” Shoop said. “It really gives the students a break.”

Sesti hoped the students will enjoy the Brush Strokes Paint Party so the organizations can offer it to the students in years to come.

ZTA fundraises with annual spaghetti dinner Breast cancer fundraiser tries ‘fighting for pink until it’s just another color’

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

As the culminating event for “Pink Week,” the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Gamma Xi chapter of the Zeta Tau Alpha (ZTA) sorority hosted its annual spaghetti dinner Friday to raise money for breast cancer research.

The event occurred at St. Thomas More University Parish and Catholic Student Center.

“Pink Week” is ZTA’s major fall semester philanthropy event. It is a weeklong series of events, games and activities in the Oak Grove that leads up to the dinner. They have been hosting the dinner for four years.

All fundraising ZTA does over the course of the year goes to the Zeta Tau Alpha Foundation, which supports breast cancer education and awareness.

This year, the dinner beat last year’s total donations by raising roughly $3,000 for the cause. With the $300 raised at the previous events, ZTA’s Pink Week raised a total of roughly $3,300.

The dinner was organized by cophilanthropy chairs Taylor Cubbler (junior, sports administration) and Olivia Lipnic (junior, criminology/pre-law).

The theme of this year’s dinner was “fighting for pink until it is just another color.”

Those who bought tickets to the event got to enjoy unlimited spaghetti and participate in a basket raffle.

At the dinner, ZTA also honored a few breast cancer survivors with pink flowers.

Cubbler shared her thoughts on the event’s turnout.

“The turnout was amazing, and I do not think it [could’ve gone] any better,” Cubbler said.

“All the sisters worked really well together, which made [Lipnic] and I’s job so much easier.”

Lipnic also said she felt that all of her hard work organizing the event paid off.

“I think the dinner was a huge success,” Lipnic said. “I’m so proud of my chapter for working together to beat last year’s total.”

Zeta Tau Alpha’s spaghetti dinner raised roughly $3,000 for breast cancer research Friday.

The event was open to both IUP students and members of the Indiana community.

Because of her excitement at such a positive turnout, Lipnic also offered

some words of praise to those who attended.

“We try to reach out to as many students and community members as possible and encourage them to come to

our dinner to help us raise money for breast cancer education and awareness,” Lipnic said. “It was great to see so many people coming out to support the cause.

Thanks to everyone who came out.”

Why Congress should reconsider the Perkins Thomas J. Botzman The Phladelphia Inquirer

TNS Forum

The following editorial appeared in The TNS Forum, Monday, Oct. 19: More than 1,700 institutions of higher education participate in the Federal Perkins Loan program, resulting in about 500,000 students in need being awarded loans to finance their college educations.

The federal government began its new fiscal cycle on Oct. 1. For the first time in 57 years, the proposed budget does not include the Perkins Loan program.

Although there is a wide range of programs that aim to support the nation’s neediest students, the Perkins

Loan has a few unique twists that make it valuable to both students and taxpayers.

The Perkins Loan is a loan and not a grant. As such, the student agrees to pay back the loan over a 10-year period following graduation. With a 5 percent fixed interest rate, repayment generates additional funds for the next generation of students.

One argument that led to the expiration of the Perkins Loan program was that other vehicles provide funds to students with significant financial need. Yes, the landscape of student-aid programs is complicated. It is important, nonetheless, to have an array of programs that meets the need of each individual and not just a mythical “typical” student.

The Pell Grant, for example, provides a much larger average award to a student, but it does not need to be repaid. While the Pell is a progressive and respected option, it does not return funds to be lent again and again and again. Stafford Loans, meanwhile, are not earmarked solely for students with the greatest need and do not carry a fixed interest rate, and there have been efforts by Congress to cut funding for Pell Grants and Stafford Loans.

If the Perkins Loans are not restored, repayments of loans will return to the federal government. We would then have taken a program that has worked for nearly six decades – providing a hand up for so many students – and turned it into a political football with little return to taxpayers.

Whether you can’t wait for Saturday night to roll around or are dreading the last-minute costume you’re going to have to throw together that afternoon, it’s hard to ignore how much Halloween has changed since we were kids.

It was every kid’s dream: a day to dress up however you want, hang out with friends (even if it’s a school night) and devour all the Reese’s Cups you could ever imagine.

As a college student, everything changes. Halloween turns into a competition of who can wear less clothes and higher heels while still bearing the 40-degree weather, and who can take the most orange Jell-O shots. Scary costumes are even becoming a thing of the past. We’ve forgotten the entire reason we are celebrating the holiday in the first place.

The word “Halloween” is an abbreviation of “All Hallows’ Evening,” which begins the time in the liturgical year that commemorates the dead. Halloween’s origins are also in an ancient Celtic festival called Samhain, according to halloweenhistory.org. Samhain, a celebration of the end of the Gaelic harvest season, was a time for stocking up in preparation for winter.

“The ancient Gaels believed that on Oct. 31, the boundaries between the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped,” read the website, “and the deceased would come back to life and cause havoc, such as sickness or damaged crops.”

Remarkably, nothing about a bunny wearing a skimpy tutu is mentioned in Halloween’s roots.The worst part is that it’s not only Halloween for which we’ve lost our childlike wonder – it’s almost every major holiday.

Christmas used to include writing letters to Santa, leaving cookies for him on the table and waiting at the top of the stairs the next morning for Mom and Dad to finally wake up. Now it’s a hectic season of tedious budgeting, endless shopping and constantly worrying about what in the world you’re going to get for your grandpa. There’s no way he needs any more ties or coffee mugs.

Easter went from a day of egg hunts and overloading on candy to dreading the three-hour drive to your distant uncle’s house, only to listen to his children scream throughout the entire church sermon.

Let’s get back to basics this Halloween. Carve a pumpkin. Hand out candy to the children of Indiana. Watch scary movies and indulge in candy corn and Snickers bars. We may be “too old” to trick or treat, but we can still participate in all of the other great activities the first fall holiday has to offer.

IUP GLitter aims to outshine suicide

IUP student leads attack against stigma associated with depression

By SAMANTHA BELL Staff Writer S.M.Bell@iup.edu

“She who leaves a trail of glitter is never forgotten.”

This simple yet moving phrase spoken by an unknown, not-so-prominent individual sparked an idea within Demi Hoover (junior, exercise science) that made an often-dimmed issue shine across campus.

The Oak Grove glistened Friday for IUP Glitter, an event aimed at attacking the stigma attached to depression by distributing packets of glitter and urging passersby to pour the contents throughout campus.

Hoover organized the event in honor of a friend she lost to suicide.

Hoover said she believes education on the warning signs of suicide and depression are effective only to a certain extent.

She also thinks that empowering in-

Crimson Hoax

dividuals who deal with depression to recognize they are not alone could go further and inspire them to open up, rather than struggle in the shadows.

“I saw the signs of depression in my friend and didn’t do anything,” Hoover said. “I lost her as a result of it. Now I have made it my mission to make sure that never happens to anyone else.”

According to Suicide Awareness Voices of Education, an organization dedicated to suicide prevention and awareness, suicide is the second-leading cause of death for 15- to 24-year-olds.

IUP Glitter has attempted to bring statistics like this to light and give a voice to a hushed topic.

“This event is awesome,” Sydney Simcik (sophomore, nursing) said. “It’s a fun way to raise awareness about a serious issue.”

Attached to the bags of glitter were pieces of paper with quotes, such as, “Saying to someone with depression, ‘What do you mean you’re depressed?

You have so much to be happy about,’ is like saying to an asthmatic, ‘What do you mean you can’t breathe?’ There’s plenty of air in here.’”

“Maybe this could’ve given someone struggling with depression one more day to be happy,” Alicia DeMille (sophomore, education) said. “It’s sort of like saying, ‘You have one more day to change your mind.’”

IUP Glitter was a twinkling testament to a taboo topic.

Hoover spent five hours handing out more than 1,000 packets of glitter with the help of Sigma Kappa, Gamma Sigma Sigma and friends of Cody Miller, a former IUP student who committed suicide in March.

Hoover’s motivation came from the drive to preserve her friend’s memory and to make a difference in other lives.

“No one should feel weird about getting help,” Hoover said. “Depression is common, and we need to stop tiptoeing around the issue.”

Back-patting becomes the new way for friends to say goodbye

By ALEX ISEMAN Contributing Writer A.D.Iseman@iup.edu

A somber parting of ways turned triumphant Friday when two friends swapped the best round of back-patting they had ever experienced.

At a small gathering to celebrate a close friend moving out of state, Andy Williams, 26, of Indiana, along with a flood of tears, brought about a storm of back-pats upon his friend, Darren John-

10

son, 28, who was scheduled to depart for a job opportunity in New Jersey the following morning.

“We said our goodbyes,” Williams said. “But after an uncomfortable linger session followed by an irrelevant conversation with my family, Darren and I shared the best back-patting experience to date.”

Back-patting has been a common occurrence in the Williams household for the past year and a half – dating back to April 2014, when Williams’ uncle,

Walt, died after suffering a heart attack at a local grocery store.

Andy Williams and his cousin, Todd, traded back-pats at Uncle Walt’s wake for just under seven minutes. And, according to Williams, there wasn’t anything like what he was about to experience.

“This going-away party definitely gave my uncle’s wake a run for its money,” Williams said. “At any kind of gathering, I like to scope out the crowd and try to choose who will accept my

October 27, 2015

invitation to share some open-handed back touches with me.”

For Williams, Johnson ended up being that person.

“It most certainly blew the backpatting of April 2014 out of the water,” Williams said. “I will never forget this moment for as long as I live.”

Williams’ mother, Tracy, 67, added that the back-pat exchange was disappointing for the despondent young adult.

“Andy was devastated at Walt’s wake

when his exchange with Todd only lasted 6:45,” Tracy said. “That wasn’t the result he trained for. So, when the goodbyes were said to his buddy Darren, he knew Darren wouldn’t let him down. I am so proud of my son’s determination.”

Sources confirmed that Andy Williams’ search for the best backpat was not over.

The 26-year-old would be searching for another opportunity to better his record of 7:37.

IUP AACC reaches out to community, will host trip to local farm A haunted house and corn maze are among the event’s scheduled activities

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

“It’s a time to forget the fears of real life, and to get a thrill with little risk involved,” Justin Cobb (sophomore, communications media) said.

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania African American Cultural Center (AACC) is hosting a trip to the haunted house and corn maze at Yarnick’s Farm Friday.

This is an annual event the AACC has been hosting for several years.

Tickets are being sold at the AACC

office in Delaney Hall Room B-25.

They are $10 with an I-Card or $15 without one.

The event is open to everyone on a first-come, first-served basis, and tickets are available until Friday at 4:30 p.m.

Included in the price of the ticket is the reception, refreshments, transportation and entrance to the haunted house and corn maze.

The event will start off with a reception at the AACC’s office at 6:30 p.m.

During the reception, students will have the chance to hang out, enjoy some refreshments, have their pictures taken

with Norm, IUP’s mascot, and watch movies or television.

Cobb, also an office aide and photographer for the AACC, explained what students can expect at the reception.

“The reception is a fun little gathering, compliments of the AACC,” he said. “It’s a way of reaching out to the student community.”

After the reception, the bus will depart from the AACC to Yarnick’s.

Once at Yarnick’s, students will be given their tickets and will have the opportunity to be scared in the haunted house and get lost in the corn maze.

They will also be able to enjoy refreshments and hang out around a bonfire while they wait.

Cobb described what the benefits of the event are for people who attend.

“Yarnick’s Farm is an event for frightful fun,” Cobb said.

“It’s cheap too, which saves money.

People can go and have a night out with their friends and just have a chance to be scared.”

Cobb went on to explain why people should attend the event.

“I would say that it makes a good substitute for partying,” Cobb said.

“Halloween is one of the most dangerous times of the year, so I think it can serve as an alternative to getting in trouble.

“However, I think it is also a way for students to have fun at an affordable price. Especially if students can’t afford more expensive Halloween entertainment.

“It will be great time. It definitely beats sitting inside all night.”

Since opening 34 years ago, according to its website, Yarnick’s Farm has hosted several events in addition to operating a daily farmer’s market.

YouTube phenom Troye Sivan trying to make it to the next level

By MIKAEL WOOD Los Angeles Times TNS

Singer Troye Sivan may be an established YouTube star with millions of subscribers, but recently while rehearsing for his first major tour, the digital celebrity looked anything but a seasoned veteran.

Running through his song “Happy Little Pill” in a North Hollywood studio, the 20-year-old stuffed his hands in his pants pockets and messed with his hair, clearly unsure what to do with his body as he sang. Later, a stage manager instructed him on the basics of returning for an encore.

“This whole thing is definitely out of my comfort zone,” Sivan said. “But I’m getting more and more comfortable with it every day.”

In the pre-digital age, such performances would’ve been crucial to developing the kind of devoted audience that Sivan has already built online.

He’s been making YouTube videos since he was 12, and now the babyfaced artist from Perth, Australia, speaks to millions more on Twitter, where he holds forth in bite-sized installments on food, sex and Taylor Swift (after she tweeted her endorsement of his song “Wild.”)

As modern a pop star as you’ll find, Sivan still had to push himself this month during preparations for his road show, which launched last week. The tour – along with Sivan’s upcoming debut album, “Blue Neighbourhood”

The cover art for Troye Sivan’s upcoming album “Blue Neighbourhood.”

– reflects his desire to turn a YouTube following into the real-world kind.

“I know people with 10 million subscribers on YouTube,” he said after the rehearsal.

Wearing a baggy denim shirt over super-skinny black jeans, Sivan sat on a lumpy sofa as he picked at a container of take-out Vietnamese food.

“But pop radio? To reach that many people – that’s what I want.”

He isn’t the first Internet personality to attempt such a crossover.

Sivan seems more likely than most to break through, thanks in part to his proud identification as a “young, openly gay artist” writing “songs about loving boys,” as he described himself and his work. It’s a role that deepens his connection with his fans and gives his music a cultural weight not unlike that of Grammy-winning Sam Smith – who recently wrote on Instagram that Sivan’s voice “does things to my body.” Beyond that, Sivan has the kind of old-fashioned songwriting talent that drove musicians to success in earlier times.

“Troye is like the friend you have who one day sits down at the piano and starts playing, and you’re like, ‘Oh my

(TNS)

god, you’re amazing,’” said Jack Antonoff, the songwriter and producer known for his work with Swift and Sara Bareilles. Antonoff co-wrote and produced Sivan’s song “Heaven” and called the singer “someone who’s meant to be doing this.”

Due Dec. 4 from Capitol Records, “Blue Neighbourhood,” which follows a pair of impressive EPs, is full of shimmering electro-pop textures and disarmingly intimate lyrics, such as this line in his song “FOOLS” about his and his boyfriend’s differing tastes in deodorant: “You like stick, and I like aerosol.”

“I feel really safe saying whatever I want to say in the music,” Sivan said, one happy artistic result of his having documented nearly half his life on YouTube.

Years before he took to the videosharing site, Sivan started singing at his synagogue around age 8 and was soon booking gigs at corporate events as a “little boy soprano” doing Celine Dion and Andrea Bocelli songs.

The experience opened his eyes to the idea of being an artist, but it wasn’t until he wrote his first song – a response to the hit YA novel “The Fault in Our

Stars” – that music felt like “a passion,” he recalled. The track, which went viral online, also got him signed to his record label.

For “Blue Neighbourhood,” much of which he wrote and recorded in L.A. with collaborators including Emile Haynie and Bram Inscore, Sivan said he was less interested in demonstrating his vocal power (though it’s certainly there) than in “making you feel the emotion in the music.” He took sonic inspiration from albums such as Lorde’s “Pure Heroine” and Frank Ocean’s “Channel Orange,” “where there’s more than one layer to what’s going on in a song,” he said.

Even so, tunes like “Wild” and “Heaven” have an immediacy that stands up to popular Top 40 fare.

“We were definitely focusing on hooks,” said Alex Hope, an Australian producer and songwriter who worked on the album. “Is this going to sound cool when you’re driving around with the windows down?’ That was always on our minds.”

The combination gives “Blue Neighbourhood” a powerfully relatable quality.

In spite of his quick wit and his good looks, Sivan’s appeal is to some degree an Everyguy thing – the way he makes you feel as though you’ve been invited into his head, which, it turns out, is just like yours.

“You tell me what is stopping me from eating this tub of salsa in bed,” he tweeted, along with a photo of said tub, after his Seattle concert last week.

Yet increasingly Sivan is also looked upon as a leader. At a screening of his new music video Tuesday night at Hollywood Forever Cemetery, one visibly nervous fan asked the singer for guidance on how to square his sexuality with his religion.

Regarding his “obligation to the cause,” as he put it, Sivan said he feels fortunate to be in a position to provide whatever help he can to young people struggling to come out.

“I turned to the Internet when I needed it,” he said, adding that he watched “nearly every coming-out video on YouTube” before he made the move himself at 15. “Now I have a lot of Twitter followers, so I can give back as someone who’s on the other side.”

Mike Flynn, an A&R executive at Capitol, said he’s counting on those followers’ devotion – the “army,” he calls them – to help convince gatekeepers in the music industry that Sivan is worthy of their attention.

“Our thinking is, ‘Let’s build the story to the point where KIIS-FM can’t say no,’” Flynn said, referring to the influential L.A. pop station. “We want (programmers’) kids to be like, ‘Mom, Dad – Troye’s the biggest thing in the world. You’re missing out.’”

In the rehearsal room, Sivan said he has a long way to go before he cracks the music business like he cracked YouTube.

But he’s getting the idea of how things work.

“I can be mentioned now in the same sentence as Taylor Swift,” he said.

“That’s like, what!?”

Blunders lead to heartbreaking loss for IUP

Lenny Williams breaks IUP total yards record in 40-39 defeat

By JOSH HILL Staff Writer J.M.Hill5@iup.edu

Miscues derailed the Crimson Hawks’ upset bid over No. 15 Slippery Rock University in a 40-39 loss at Mihalik-Thompson Stadium, creating a logjam atop the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference West.

Indiana University of Pennsylvania (5-2, 4-1) racked up a FOOTBALL season-high 550 yards of offense against Slippery Rock (7-1, 4-1).

Redshirt freshman quarterback Lenny Williams (accounting) set a school record with 504 yards of total offense, compiling a season-high 364 passing yards while adding 140 rushing yards, his third straight game of more than 100 rushing yards.

Mistakes doomed IUP, however, as

the team gave up a safety, missed three extra points and lost four fumbles.

“You can’t do things like that and expect to win,” Williams said. “We needed to take better care of the ball, and we didn’t.”

IUP head coach Curt Cignetti echoed his starting quarterback.

“I feel bad for everyone in the organization,” Cignetti said.

“We were in the game, but we made too many mistakes.”

Slippery Rock also held a decisive edge on special teams.

Kicker Andrew Huska, who was taking the place of the injured Mike Wainauskis, made all of his extra-point attempts and his lone field goal attempt while pinning IUP deep with five touchbacks.

The Crimson Hawks bounced back from a slow start that found them behind 9-0 four minutes into the contest.

IUP reeled off 20 straight unanswered points to close off the first quarter, headlined by touchdown passes to Swahneek Brown (freshman, management) and Walt Pegues (sophomore, communications media).

Chris Temple (sophomore, accounting) capped off the scoring onslaught with a 1-yard touchdown plunge.

Slippery Rock would throw some haymakers of its own, as it went on to end the first half with a 30-26 lead.

IUP weathered the retaliation, and Temple and Williams had touchdown runs in the second half of play.

Down 40-39, IUP was poised to go on and tie the game, but heavy rain and a high snap contributed to another missed extra point by Ryan Stewart (junior, accounting).

The teams went back and forth in the final quarter. IUP had the football after multiple defensive stands with a chance

to take a late lead.

The play that sealed the Crimson Hawks’ fate came on a fourth-and-4 in which Williams looked for Pegues. The pass was batted away, but not without some controversy, as Cignetti was looking for a pass interference call.

The flag never came.

Pegues, who set career highs in catches (14) and yards (233), thought a pass interference call should have been made.

“I think so,” Pegues said. “I believe I had the chance to make the catch. But you can’t put the game in the hands of the referees.”

Now IUP looks to regroup after having its five-game winning streak snapped by the defending PSAC champions.

The Crimson Hawks will hit the road for another big game against Clarion University (7-1) at noon Saturday.

Clarion suffered its first loss of the season Saturday against California Univer-

sity of Pennsylvania.

“Our guys showed a lot of heart and a lot of character,” Cignetti said. “I saw a lot of good stuff out there.”

NOTES: Williams was named the PSAC West Offensive Player of the Week. The previous IUP single-game record for yardage was held by quarterback Rich Ingold, who had 452 yards in 1985 against Lehigh University. Ingold went on to become a starting quarterback, and later a coach, in the Arena Football League.

Williams has run for 479 yards in the past three games.

IUP went 3 of 10 on third down plays and 0 of 2 on fourth downs.

True freshman cornerback Mikale Makle (fine arts) had an interception for the third consecutive game. He leads the team with three interceptions this season. Four others have two.

iup-slippery rock showdowns

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

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania football team suffered a heartbreaking, 1-point loss to longtime rival Slippery Rock University Saturday night.

In light of the defeat, here is a breakdown of the best games throughout the past six years of this historic western Pennsylvania rivalry.

1. Men’s basketball: Feb. 28, 2012 A game in which the No. 1 seed in the PSAC West was on the line for IUP, and SRU brought the rivalry to a whole new level.

The Rock overcame a 9-point deficit with one minute left to play, but Uruguay native Marcel Souberbielle hit a

12

go-ahead 3-pointer and two free throws to seal the victory and claim first place for IUP. While Sourbielle was the hero, Ashton Smith was the best overall performer with 23 points and eight assists.

Ultimately, IUP was able to take control on Ashley Stoner’s back-to-back layups en route to an 86-77 victory.

Stoner finished with 21 points and two blocks, while Lindsay Stamp led the team with 26 points.

2. Women’s basketball, The Pink Game: Feb. 18, 2015 Earlier in the season, the Crimson Hawks women’s basketball team demolished Slippery Rock 73-48.

However, The Rock showed them the rematch wouldn’t be a walk in the park.

The Crimson Hawks came out hot, as they led by as much as 17 at one point, but Slippery Rock rallied and tied the game at 62 a piece with eight minutes left in the game.

3. Football: Sept. 25, 2010 The Crimson Hawks retaliated from a 7-3 defensive battle a year prior with a 17-0 shutout.

The Rock’s running back, Akeem Satterfield, averaged more than 200 yards per game coming into the contest, but IUP’s defense stuffed him to56 yards.

The Hawks defense also kept Slippery Rock’s quarterback in check, forcing him to complete only 33 percent of his passes, sacking him four times and

October 27, 2015

also recording a pick-six.

IUP had lost its three previous games against Slippery Rock.

4. Field hockey, PSAC semifinals: Oct. 25, 2011 Two first-half goals by Anouk Sickman and strong defense was all it took for IUP to defeat Slippery Rock in the PSAC semifinals.

Brittany Varacallo and the Crimson Hawks’ defense prevented The Rock from scoring any goals in their 2-0 victory.

5. Women’s soccer: Sept. 20, 2014 This game was an exhilarating defensive battle that was decided in overtime.

Both teams were held scoreless until IUP senior Brittney Kuhns scored the

game-winning goal in the 96th minute of play. Jessica Printz (junior, athletic training) had seven saves for the Crimson Hawks.

The win dropped Slippery Rock to 3-2 and helped IUP take a commanding lead in the PSAC with a 5-1 record.

6. Baseball doubleheader: March 21, 2015 After falling to The Rock 10-5 in Game 1, IUP bounced back in a 21-8 dismantling led by Ryan Uhl, who accounted for three of IUP’s five home runs.

Mike Lupia led the Crimson Hawks in hits with six.

Pitcher Matt Douglas picked up the win, allowing four earned runs and striking out four in four innings.

Aniella Janosky hopes PSAC championship qualifications satisfy IUP to fill her sister’s void

By EVAN McCUE Staff Writer E.M.McCue@iup.edu

Despite the 153-107 loss to the Shippensburg University Red Raiders, four women achieved nine Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) tournament qualifying times for the Indiana University of Pennsylvania swim team Saturday.

Taylor Cisik (freshman, criminology) qualified SWIMMING with second-place finishes in the 50 and 100 freestyle events with times of 25.54 and 55.30, respectively.

Taylor Davis (freshman, natural science/pre-physical therapy) achieved a pair of qualifying times in the 100- and 200-yard butterfly, posting times of 1:01.36 and 2:17.44, respectively.

Senior Paige Spradling (biology) qualified with a first-place finish in the 200 breaststroke with a time of 2:28.06 and a third-place finish in the 200-yard butterfly with a time of 2:17.51.

Regan Chalk (sophomore, mathematics) showcased her versatility, qualifying in three events. Chalk landed a first-place finish in the 100 backstroke with

By PAT CROSSAN

a time of 1:01.26, a third-place finish in the 200 backstroke with a time of 2:16.35 and a fourthplace finish in the 100 butterfly with a time of 1:01.84.

Aniella Janosky (junior, finance and accounting) and Beatriz Gonzalez (sophomore, business) each contributed a qualifying time of their own in the 100 freestyle.

“It was just a small step forward towards our goals for the PSAC championships,” Janosky said.

“We’re really excited about this season. Most of our swimmers this year are freshmen, but the team is adjusting to the new dynamics really well. I’m really enjoying getting to know all of our swimmers and working with them in the pool.”

On the men’s side, it seems that momentum from their previous meet traveled with them to Shippensburg as they handled the Raiders, 163-91.

Thirteen different Crimson Hawks qualified for the PSAC tournament Saturday afternoon, as Corey Stauffer (sophomore, natural science and math) led the pack with three qualifying times in the 50, 100 and 200 freestyle events with times of 22.51,

50.10 and 1:51.41, respectively.

Three of IUP’s swimmers landed both qualifying times and first-place finishes.

Yuri Fernandes (senior, computer science) got it done with a pair of first-place finishes in the 100 and 200 freestyles with times of 47.14 and 1:43.07, respectively.

Alex Plimpton (senior, accounting) finished in first place with a time of 4:45.20 in the 500 and a time of 10:17.57 in the 1,000 freestyle.

Shane Hallett (sophomore, business management) dominated the breaststroke events, winning the 100 and 200 with times of 58.76 and 2:11.45, respectively.

The Crimson Hawks now find themselves with time to rest up and prepare for their invitational in Pittsburgh Nov. 20-22.

The invitational will include swimmers from Division-II schools, such as West Chester University, California University of Pennsylvania and West Virginia Wesleyan College, and Division-I schools, such as University of Pittsburgh, Bowling Green University, Towson University and the College of William and Mary.

Staff Writer P.J.Crossan@iup.edu

Indiana University of Pennsylvania swimmer Aniella Janosky (junior, accounting and finance) found herself in the pool at 3 years old.

Growing up with her father, who coached high school swimming, Janosky and her two siblings were always around the sport.

She and her sister Christina, an IUP alumna, swam together at IUP during the 2013-2014 season.

“Being on a team with my sister was really special because we are insanely close,” Janosky said.

The moment that stands out to her most was when her sister and she both made it to the NCAA Championships and became All-Americans.

“She had her race right before mine, became an AllAmerican, and then I did 20 minutes later,” Janosky said.

“I hate to say it, but I didn’t care that much about me because I was a freshman. It was her senior year and first time making nationals. I get very excited for my sister, so when she did that I wasn’t focused

on what I was doing. That day stands out to me.

“I got to be in so many relays with her, and I think we broke three records together.”

The IUP swim teams practice twice a day, fives day per week and once on Wednesdays.

A schedule like this seems like it would cause some problems with school work. However, Janosky said it actually helps her concentrate on school work.

“It’s just one of those things where you may only have an hour of free time in a day, so if you want to get anything done, you have to do it during that time,” Janosky said.

“There are times when you just want to be a normal college student and relax and sleep in until noon, but swimming is definitely worth it.”

Janosky said that the relationships she has built with her teammates and coaches through swimming are the best part of going through the grueling schedule.

“Head coach Chris Villa and I get along really well,” she said.

“He’s a goofball, and I’m the kind of person who needs that.

I don’t do well with a stringent coach. He is intense in the sense

that he wants you to perform, but he knows that everyone is an individual and certain people have to be talked to harder.

And then there are people like me who don’t really respond to that.”

Janosky competes in the butterfly and freestyle races.

She said her favorite event is the 200 fly, which is a longer race, and it allows her to chill out in the beginning.

During a race, workout or practice, Janosky becomes extremely competitive, but she is not usually like that out of the pool.

“It’s just my personality in swimming,” Janosky said. “I do so much better when I am behind the blocks just relaxing or when my coach will have me laughing before a race.”

At this point in the season, Janosky’s goals are to get healthy after having knee surgery in July.

She was allowed to walk starting in September, and she has only been in the pool for a couple of weeks.

By the end of the fall semester, she hopes to be back at full strength and make a run at the NCAA Championships in the spring.

JACOBO DIAZ

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

Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s men’s basketball team and head coach Joe Lombardi have welcomed many international athletes to the team over the past several years.

This season, Jacobo Diaz (freshman, management), from the Canary Islands, will be the team’s lone foreign player set to take the court.

The 6-foot-8 Diaz

comes to the United States after competing for the World Championship in Spain this summer.

In his final season with Spain, Diaz averaged 5.3 points per game, 4.1 rebounds and 1.6 assists while playing 22 minutes on average.

All of these statistics ranked third for his respective team.

Diaz took home some awards in his career, including best player in Madrid U16, fifth in European Championship U18 and eighth in the World Championship U19 group.

Diaz said he can help the team rebound offensively and defensively while reading the game and charging the offensive rebound.

“Individually, I am a player who can help on both sides of the court playing good offense and hard defense,” Diaz said.

“I just want to do whatever I can to get this team back to the national championship.”

Lombardi and assistant coach Joe Cantens were the main factors in helping Diaz sign with IUP and getting his

paperwork completed to come to the U.S. “Coach Lombardi is one of the main reasons that I am coming to IUP,” Diaz said.

“He is a coach with a lot of experience and knowledge, and I want to learn how to be a good professional player.”

Last year’s 31-7 season has assisted IUP in recruiting three players that are 6-foot-6 or taller.

The Crimson Hawks were outrebounded by double digits in three of their seven losses last season.

It appears that the Crimson Hawks are honing in on that rebounding issue with the addition of three tall players.

Diaz will appear in his first career game with IUP when the Crimson Hawks host the Urbana University Blue Knights at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 13 at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex.

The Crimson Hawks downed the Blue Knights 96-62 in last season’s opener with the help of recent graduate Devante Chance’s 28 points and seven assists.

The Kansas City Chiefs halted quarterback Landry Jones in his first career start Sunday, and the Pittsburgh Steelers lost 23-13, stumbling to 4-3.

Jones, a former University of Oklahoma star who’s in his third NFL season, threw for 209 yards on 16 of 29 passing.

However, he also threw two interceptions and fumbled late in the fourth quarter.

Jones relieved the injured and struggling Michael Vick in the second half of last week’s 25-13 victory over the Arizona Cardinals.

Many believed Jones’ success would continue against the Chiefs, who entered the contest with one win and five losses. Apparently, the hopes weren’t enough.

The highs of the game – if any – were

the performances of wide receivers Martavis Bryant and Antonio Brown.

Bryant had three catches for 45 yards and reeled in his team-high third receiving touchdown of the season in just his second game following an injury and a four-game suspension.

Brown had six catches for 124 yards, but he had a critical tip that Chiefs safety Eric Berry intercepted. It was a monumental interception for Berry, as it was his first since beating Hodgkins lymphoma, which sidelined him for most of the 2014 season.

Quarterback Ben Roethlisberger may return Sunday after missing the Steelers’ last four contests due to an MCL sprain suffered in a Sept. 27 victory over the St. Louis Rams.

In three games with Roethlisberger, the Steelers were 2-1, and Brown had 29 receptions for 436 yards and two touchdowns.

With Vick and Jones under center, the Steelers have gone 2-2, and Brown

has recorded 17 receptions for 235 yards with no touchdowns.

The return of Roethlisberger couldn’t be more timely. Due up are the 6-0 AFC North-leading Cincinnati Bengals.

Andy Dalton will lead the NFL’s thirdranked offense that is averaging 30.3 points per game into Heinz Field.

The Steelers defense will have its hands full with Dalton if they play him like they did Alex Smith of the Chiefs.

Smith had some fun with the Steelers defense, going 21 of 32 passing with 251 yards and a touchdown.

Kansas City’s running game may have been even better.

Running back Charcandrick West rushed for 110 yards and a touchdown on 22 carries, his first career 100-yard rushing game.

While the Steelers defense isn’t rejoicing after the loss, defensive end Cam Heyward can rejoice about something.

Heyward was fined in consecutive weeks for wearing eye black that read

“iron head” in honor of his father, who died from cancer. On Sunday, it read “tackle cancer,” and apparently that was acceptable.

Also on the list of solved problems, who would have guessed before the season started that the Steelers would be on their fourth and hopefully final kicker?

Chris Boswell seems to have found a home with the black and gold. He is perfect in seven field-goal attempts and five extra-point attempts on the season.

It appears Jeff Reed, the 36-year-old who appeared in the last three Steelers Super Bowls, won’t be returning after all.

On the list of new problems, however, are a handful of injuries.

Cornerback William Gay left the

game with a shoulder injury, cornerback Antwon Blake missed time due to concussion protocol, and Cortez Allen sat out Sunday for the fifth game in a row, and it doesn’t look like he will be back anytime soon.

On the bright side, team officials said that there is a chance Pro Bowl center Maurkice Pouncey will be back before the season’s end.

Next week, fans may see Roethlisberger take on a Bengals team that he helped beat twice last season by a combined score of 69-38.

The Cincinnati offense is much better than before, however, as Dalton is matching the numbers of former Bengals legend Boomer Esiason.

Prediction: Steelers 30, Bengals 28
