Grant aims to combat student opioid overdoses

By ALEXA PIACQUADIO Staff Writer A.C.Piacquadio@iup.edu

In response to the growing opiate and opioid epidemic in the area, the Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Institute for Rural Health and Safety has received a $100,000 grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to help prevent death in opioid overdoses.

This grant, co-authored by institute employees Jill Oblak, Jeff Grim and Louis Pesci, is the first of its kind.

The money will be used to provide different types of naloxone kits to law enforcement, EMTs and initial response personnel of Indiana County, and to train these departments in the application of naloxone to an overdosing individual.

Naloxone, brand-called Narcan, is either infused into the vein, the muscle or used via nasal spray to block or reverse the effects on an opioid overdose.

The drug works by counteracting the depression of the central nervous system and the respiratory system, which allows the victim to breathe normally.

Narcan is exceptionally effective,

and also surprisingly safe, according to Oblak.

It has no detrimental effects, even when given to individuals without opioids in their system.

Deaths resulting from overdoses have now surpassed the amount of accidental deaths caused by car crashes, and it is a problem that can no longer be ignored.

While stigma still surrounds the is-

sue of drug addiction and its associated overdoses, about one in four people are affected by addiction, according to Oblak.

“Affeted by” refers to Americans who are either addicted to an opioid themselves, know somebody who is or has had a crime committed against them as a direct result of someone’s addiction.

Some naysayers claim that the distribution of naloxone creates a “safety net” for drug users, and that it will, in turn, create more opiate addicts.

“Nobody wants to be an addict,” Oblak said.

“The person has to want to change, so we have neon papers to leave behind with numbers they can contact to find help when they’re ready.”

Signs to look out for include one’s history of drug use, finding of paraphernalia, the victim being unresponsive, blue fingertips or lips, skin that is pale or ash in color and slow breathing, according to Harmreduction.org.

Political science senior elected to borough council Smith becomes first IUP student to earn council seat

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

Big changes are coming for Indiana Borough, as there are six new members taking a seat on the borough council, including Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s James Smith (senior, political science).

Smith is the first IUP student to take a seat on the council, and he plans to use his experience as an IUP student to help better the community, the university and the bond between students and community members.

Voters decided to unseat six of the seven council members running for re-election, many of whom were those with the longest tenures.

Smith, a Democrat, will replace Republican Tom Thompson, who is completing his eighth year on the borough

council as part of the third ward.

Smith finished with 244 votes while Thompson had 182 votes.

Other members who lost the reelection include Ross Bricklemyer, John Hartman, Anthony Greenawalt, Larry DeChurch and Jason Smathers.

New members will be sworn in Jan. 5 and officially take office the next day.

Although Smith is a new member of the council, he has big plans for both Indiana and IUP. One of his main goals is to see the borough, downtown Indiana and the university work together to find ways to bring career-paying jobs to the community in order to keep students who have graduated close to Indiana, according to Smith.

“This will help build our population and provide opportunities to IUP’s highly qualified graduates who are just starting their working careers, while also

getting people into the countless number of houses that are for sale throughout the borough,” Smith said.

He also hopes to have the council start using social media to allow the community, which is now catching up with use of technology, to be better informed with what is going on in the borough, according to Smith.

He would like to see the council meetings broadcast online so those who are unable to attend the meetings can stay informed and involved in the process.

“I am a firm believer that if government is to work, it must be open with its governed,” Smith said.

“This allows the council to be held accountable for their actions and demeanor.”

However, the first issue Smith would like to tackle is the newly proposed zoning ordinance.

The ordinance proposes creating a multi-use zone in the area immediately in proximity to campus to make it easier to develop properties surrounding the university, according to Smith.

In order for Smith and the rest of the council to complete these changes, they must collaborate with the many entities of the Indiana community, including community and campus organizations, something the council has failed to do in the past, according to Smith.

“The former council would ignore the expert opinions given to them, in particular with the Multi-Modal Corridor, and make their way into the streets with their tape measure in hand,” Smith said.

“There needs to be trust put into the contractors and experts who are hired to do what they have been trained and educated to do.”

To celebrate and show appreciation

to those who helped with his campaign, Smith held an election celebration in Keith Hall Thursday.

Sociology professor Dr. Christian Vaccaro and current council member Peter Broad also attended the event and spoke to the volunteers to show their appreciation for their involvement with the campaign.

While it has been a long few weeks for Smith and others in the election, he said his experience throughout the campaign has been unforgettable.

“This has been one of the best experiences of my life,” Smith said. “It has not only been a learning experience, but also an adventure.

“It has given me a sense of pride to be representing not only myself and my constituents, but the university as a whole throughout the state,” Smith said.

“I think Indiana is going places, and I am happy to be a part of that process.”

Zombies are the protagonists in ‘Zombieville,’ SFA’s short film

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

Zombie apocalypse films and TV shows have become popular in recent years, and Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Student Film Association will provide its own take on the genre with a short film.

“Zombieville: The Story of Zombie Rights” will follow the story of five zombies, each of whom became zombies in different ways, and their struggle to live in society.

“The film is very self-aware about zombie clichés,” Brandon Lengyel (senior, communications media) said.

“We’re kind of celebrating the zombie genre by making it a comedy with some serious undertones.”

Kyle Klase (senior, communications media), co-director and president of the club; and Zach Gill (junior, communications media), production manager; and Lengyel, co-director and producer, helped write and collaborate ideas for the script, which they completed at the end of October.

The screenplay is a final structure for the film, but the writers explained that the actors playing the zombies have added their own ideas to the characters, helping to influence the script.

The six main roles include five zombies and one living character.

“We’re lucky to have such a great cast,” Klase said.

“We’ve encouraged them to build

their own character in a way, and they’ve done an amazing job. That’s why we’ve just now finalized the script, because they were coming up with great stuff based on the concepts we initially gave them.”

In this zombie flick, the zombies are the protagonists, the writers explained.

“A lot of times you see people running from zombies and trying to survive,” Klase said.

“Our movie is more about the zombies trying to survive and work their way back into society.”

The writers have taken the roots from different zombie films and adaptations and emphasized the zombies in this particular film have all died in different ways.

They also explained that Regan Cranmer (theater and dance), makeup artist for the film, has been a huge help in creating the concepts and designs for how each of the zombies are portrayed based on their death.

“We really wanted to humanize the zombies, and our choice of makeup reflects that,” Gill said.

The club will be taking four to five full days to film the scenes, which are located on campus, in The Coney and around Kittanning.

“Since the zombie culture really began and exploded here when ‘Night of the Living Dead’ was made, we thought it’d be best to set ‘Zombieville’ in a western Pennsylvania backwoods junkyard,” Lengyel said.

Members of the club reached out to

the community to see if anyone would allow the students to use their land as a filming location. One Kittanning man allowed SFA to use his backyard.

SFA is seeking members of the community and students to star as onlookers and bystanders for its final shoot.

Filming will be in the Hadley Union Building and Oak Grove Sunday from 8 a.m. to no later than 3 p.m.

SFA is planning for Leonard Hall to be incorporated in the protest scene, since it’s the last semester that the building will be apart of IUP’s campus.

On Monday night, extras were summoned for a Halloween bar scene inside The Coney, where 20 to 30 students dressed up in costumes.

The budget provided by the Student Cooperative Association helps pay for makeup, costumes, lighting, audio equipment and food for the cast and crew members.

The communications media department and members of the club have provided the cameras and lenses for filming.

“We have everything you could ever possibly need for the film,” Klase said, with the item inventory including 15 lenses and thousands of dollars of equipment.

The film has an expected January completion.

The members plan on showcasing the 15-minute film at the Flick Film Festival at IUP in April and plan to premiere the film in the Indiana Theater after it’s fully completed.

ROTC’s ‘Yes Man’ fighting for philanthropy Samuel Dunning, senior, strives for campus involvement and community outreach

By PETE SIRIANNI Staff Writer P.M.Sirianni@iup.edu

One night, he may be wearing suspenders and dancing the night away, while the next he could be reading from scripture at church.

For Samuel Dunning (senior, criminal justice), it’s all in an effort to be involved around campus. He also has a hard time telling people “no.”

“I get bored if I have too much downtime,” Dunning said, “and I’ve always been a busy person. I played a lot of sports in high school and had a job. So when I came here, I tried to get involved, and I don’t like to say ‘no’ to people, so I usually get roped into something, then get hooked on it.”

Dunning belongs to campus organizations like Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC), Catholic Student Association, Fellowship of Student Athletes, Rho Tau Chi military service fraternity and Alpha Phi Sigma criminal justice honor society.

“I think a lot of people take the mantra of ‘It’s college,’ so try something new,” Dunning said. “So I think a lot of times people make bad decisions based on that mantra, but I like to take that and utilize it in different ways.

“I think I kind of have a curiosity for trying new things, and it’s paid off for me because I’ve tried the right new things, not the bad new things.”

Part of not being able to turn people down has turned into new experiences,

like volunteering to flip pancakes for the annual Pancakes at Midnight event at St. Thomas More University Parish or running a marathon this spring despite not liking long-distance running.

Also, during each of his three spring breaks at IUP, Dunning has traveled to Kentucky to help improve and renovate homes for low- or no-income families.

stuck with Dunning.

“To see them come in and they’re like, ‘This is mine,’ was probably one of the best, if not the best, thing I’ve done in my life,” Dunning said.

Dunning also spearheaded a campaign last year through Rho Tau Chi to create and collect cards to send to troops overseas during the holiday season.

I think I kind of have a curiosity for trying new things, and it’s paid off for me because I’ve tried the right new things, not the bad new things.

Upon returning home from an ROTC trip to Romania during summer 2014, Dunning returned to Kentucky to lend a hand and in turn was able to see firsthand the impact his work had on the residents he was helping.

Dunning eventually discovered that the father of the family whose house his group was working on had been involved in a work accident and suffered brain damage, causing depression and ultimately suicide, leaving behind a wife and five children, three of whom had some sort of learning disability.

One of the family’s children is married to a person with special needs, and the couple has a child. This situation left the mother to look after “essentially six of seven children, four of whom had special needs,” according to Dunning.

Dunning’s job was to build bedrooms for the two youngest children, who slept on couches for their entire lives. The gratitude of the children when they saw their new living quarters has

The campaign – with the help of old high school teachers, the Evergreen Boys & Girls Club, the IUP athletic department, Lambda Sigma Upsilon, IUP students and other members of the Indiana community – resulted in the sending of more than 2,400 cards to troops stationed around the world.

“We got some feedback because we knew people, so we sent them to their units,” Dunning said.

“It’s a great feeling to know people care. We got cards made by college students, cards made by kindergarteners through high school.

“Some were very heartfelt messages, and some were kid’s drawings. It means a lot to people [...] to know they’re appreciated.”

It’s evident that volunteering and helping others are key characteristics of Dunning. That character makeup will translate to his life after graduation, when he enters into the Army.

By virtue of ranking in the top 10

percent of the nation in various tests, Dunning was able to pick his military occupation, which resulted in him choosing to work in medical services.

Rather than be on the front line during battle, Dunning will play another vital role by being in charge of the field medics and coordinating plans for rescue helicopters, should there be a wounded soldier or casualty.

“I love to be out there in the field doing the tough work,” Dunning said, “and I didn’t see myself being stuck behind a desk, but I didn’t see myself as a trigger-puller.

“There’s definitely a stigma in the Army that those are the tough guys,” Dunning said. “If you want to prove that you’re the baddest of the bad or the toughest of the tough, you go infantry; you go [Army] Rangers, Special Forces.

In a way, it’s humbling because I’m saying I don’t want to do that.”

Ever the competitor, the decision wasn’t an easy one, but one that aligned more to Dunning’s personal beliefs and one he felt a calling toward.

Remember, this is the same person who envisions a post-Army career of volunteer work in Africa or somewhere around the United States, followed by starting a business.

The decision can be even harder with the stereotypes surrounding the testosterone-fueled life in the Armed Forces.

“All the Armed Forces have problems with hazing, sexual assault,” Dunning said, “and I think some of it comes from a culture of, ‘You’ve got to be the manliest man, the toughest of the tough.’

Samuel Dunning

“It’s something they’re definitely trying to overcome, but it’s not easy because on the one hand, you’re training them to be killers, and on the other hand, you’re saying don’t act like it. There’s definitely a fine line to walk, but it’s still a problem that needs worked on.”

While he has his future loosely planned out, Dunning still has a few months left to enjoy life as a college student, a life that includes celebrating Friday’s release of the new James Bond flick, “Spectre,” by donning a suit in typical Bond fashion. And there will always be the nights when he just wants to go out with friends to dance, one of his favorite activities.

For the person who can’t say no, he plans to use his marketing skills and charm to convince a few people around campus to try something new, too, just like he has the last three years.

“I’m more than happy to engage people in conversation and rope them into it,” Dunning said.

Students present autism research at Arizona conference

By KIMBERLY IMEL Staff Writer K.N.Imel@iup.edu

On Nov. 4, five Indiana University of Pennsylvania students presented their research on incorporating a peer-mentoring program for students with autism at IUP at the Teacher Education Division for the Council for Exceptional Children conference in Phoenix, Ariz.

The group, comprised of William VanEmburg, Michael Pampena, Ashley Rush, Kaitlyn Colbert and Alexis Potts, have been working on the research since January.

Each student is a junior and special education major connected to the Council for Exceptional Children organization on campus.

Backing the group are members from the IUP faculty, including President Michael Driscoll, Dr. Joann Migjanka and special education professor Dr. Alexandria Kappel.

The main goal of the initiative is to create a peer-mentoring program on the IUP campus that will assist with the needs of students with autism as they enter and remain at college.

(Submitted photo)

From left to right: William VanEmburg, Dr. Alexandria Kappel, Michael Pampena, Ashley Rush, Kaitlyn Colbert and Alexis Potts posed in front of their presentation poster at last spring’s Undergraduate Scholar Forum in the Hadley Union Building.

The peer-mentoring program will be similar to having a friend to help an individual through college life.

“It provides transitional students an opportunity to have a greater chance of success and prosperity than before,” Pampena said.

“It is important for students to know that there are resources available to help

them and students that can lead them in the right direction.

After submitting a short abstract of their research, the IUP students were chosen to present their findings at the conference.

The conference was a great networking opportunity that allowed awareness to be spread and discussions to be

sparked, according to Rush.

At the conference, the group set up a table where individuals interested in the initiative could ask questions or learn more about their projects, according to Pampena.

The group will also attend the Pennsylvania CEC conference held later in November with the same goals in mind.

“I never expected it to lead to what it is leading to,” Rush said. “I didn’t think it would happen so fast.”

Although the project has been underway for only about nine months, the group has faced some challenges thus far. It is difficult gathering needed information about autism at IUP and colleges in general, finding time for everyone to meet and deciding what is going to be effective on campus, according to Rush and Pampena.

Despite these challenges, the group said it has been successful and its achievements have not gone unnoticed.

“I am very proud of these guys,” Kappel said. “They are just amazing kids.”

The group hopes to have the program running by fall 2016.

Once the program is running, peer mentoring will be open to all IUP students and would be an opportunity for individuals interested in becoming a mentor.

“We are a family here at IUP,” Pampena said. “Every chance that we get to help fellow students, we should take that advantage and help each other when we can.”

Penn State professor discusses importance of solar energy Brownson says ‘solar services will predominate’ in the long run

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

“The Big Solar Energy Transition: Future for Our Communities,” a discussion held by Penn State University’s Dr. Jeffrey Brownson, addressed solar energy and its potential impact on future energy production Thursday.

The talk, held in Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Weyandt Hall, was sponsored by IUP Focus the Nation, the Environmentally Conscious Organization and sustainability studies.

Brownson teaches energy and mineral engineering at PSU, but he is knowledgeable about all aspects of solar power.

Solar energy is a young field full of potential, according to Brownson.

He aimed to expand knowledge

There will be jobs. There will be opportunities.

Solar services will predominate.

-Dr. Jeffrey Brownson about the growing field while stressing its increasing importance because of climate change.

He also wanted to increase general interest and awareness of solar power.

“There will be jobs,” Brownson said.

“There will be opportunities. Solar services will predominate. It’s not an us versus [other energy sector] thing. We are winning.”

Brownson discussed some of the history of solar energy and how it goes all the way back to Neolithic China.

He encouraged the audience to think about opportunities or benefits of

sources other than photovoltaics (PV), more commonly known as solar panels.

One such example included using water bottles to create light without electricity.

He also spoke about how solar energy is important across disciplines.

Different majors such as communications, ecology, economics and meteorology all offer different perspectives for studying solar energy and jobs within the energy sector.

Following the lecture, the floor was opened for a question-and-answer session.

Audience members asked Brownson about issues like developing more effective PV and if storage is an issue.

They were also interested in different solar services already available.

One example Brownson gave was of companies that own the PV themselves and rent them out.

The customer gets the services, but not the goods.

They also do not need to worry about maintenance.

Anthious Boone (junior, physics) expressed his thoughts on the discussion.

“I thought it was very interesting because it was a lot of things you don’t see,” Boone said, “because solar energy is a rarity in Pennsylvania. It also opened my eyes to multiple uses for branches of my major that can be applied to energy.”

Boone said he thought people should be interested in solar because it is a re-

Design alumni share professional work at reception

By KIMBERLY IMEL Staff Writer K.N.Imel@iup.edu

The 2015 Design Alumni Invitational reception, the first-ever event geared toward graphic design on campus, took place in the Kipp and Annex Gallery of Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Sprowls Hall Thursday.

The purpose of the event was to highlight some of the work created by IUP alumni who were previously in the graphic design program, among others, according to Christopher McGinnis, assistant professor of art and director of the Kipp Gallery.

Two of the alumni artists, Tony DiMauro and Benjamin Shulman, attended the event to explain their work to those in attendance.

Their work was displayed in the Kipp Gallery.

DiMauro, an assistant professor of graphic design at IUP, also works as a freelance illustrator and a website and app designer. Shulman, a graphic designer and artist, produces board games and video games.

DiMauro showed his work for Rolling Stone and Playboy magazines, such as the illustration “The Circuit Builders.”

According to Marc Lewis, creative director for Playboy and DiMauro’s client, the piece is based off of a short story with the same name.

DiMauro’s specific work depicts one

of the characters in the story at a strange rehabilitation clinic, where patients partake in “close-call” overdoses to essentially scare themselves into becoming sober, according to commarts.com.

Shulman’s work, on the other hand, consisted of three board games: Tiny Epic Galaxies, Garbage Day and Vici.

Shulman decided to partake in the exhibit mainly because he wanted IUP students to see there are options for them.

“There is opportunity everywhere, you just have to be persistent,” Shulman said.

Shulman provided more advice for IUP students by encouraging them to not only seek out opportunities, but to become an expert in one’s desired field as well.

“Go to conventions, go on websites and become an expert,” Shulman said.

“Have dreams about your passion. I can talk your ear off about board games because I am now an expert, but I wasn’t three years ago.”

Shulman plans to possibly collaborate with some publishers and studios to win the Spiel Das Jahre (Game of the Year) award in Essen, Germany.

Also, above all, he plans on continuing to make board and video games.

The reception also featured an exhibit consisting of work from Jordan Gehman, Van Dyk Lewis, Ron Longsdorf and Steve Soltez.

Titled Mitaltalim, it was curated by Tal Gluck (graduate, sculpture), and in

order to participate in the exhibition, contributors had to create objects in five scales: very small, less small, medium and large or free-standing.

Additionally, two objects had to be functional and the other two non-functional.

The main goal of creating this type of exhibit was to bring together people of different disciplines in an interesting way, according to Gluck.

For current IUP students, it was a way for them to see something that they typically would not see while at the university.

“It gives a sense of what is possible,” Gluck said.

A large crowd of IUP students, faculty and other individuals attended the event, two of which were Nina Stanisha (sophomore, computer science) and Kara Larose (graduate, painting).

Both Stanisha and Larose had their own reasons for attending the event, but each spoke highly of the displayed artwork and could not decide on their personal favorite.

“It’s always good to see what professional artists can do with their degrees,” Larose said.

Not only did the attendees enjoy the event, but so too did the artists. Shulman said he found the event to be a complete success.

“At the gallery, I was playing my games with some awesome students,” Shulman said, “and they were having fun.”

Thursday’s Design Alumni Invitational reception featured creations from various graphic design alumni in Sprowls Hall’s Kipp Gallery.

Martin hired as Co-op director of information systems

By KIMBERLY IMEL Staff Writer K.N.Imel@iup.edu

An Indiana University of Pennsylvania alumna became the new director of information systems of the university’s Student Cooperative Association on Oct. 20.

Melanie Martin, a 2005 graduate with a degree in business technology support and training in the Eberly College of Business and Information Technology, takes over for Hazel Hull.

Hull retired on Sept. 25 after 18 years of working with the Student Co-

op, according to IUP’s website.

The purpose of the Student Co-op is to “provides services, facilities and activities to enrich the quality of life for our members – the university community at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania,” according to the Co-op’s website.

As the new director of information systems, Martin is responsible for developing strategic initiatives, providing technical support to Student Co-op employees and supporting the computers in the Hadley Union Building computer lounge.

Martin said that transitioning to the Co-op from her previous job at Indiana

First Bank has been exciting.

“I was excited to receive the opportunity to take over the IT area here at the Co-op,” Martin said. “It presents me with new systems to learn. The ability to set the IT strategic direction and was an opportunity that I couldn’t pass up.”

Martin chose to leave the bank because she wanted to experience IT in a different industry.

“Different industries have different technological challenges and opportunities that they present, and I felt like it was a great time to make a change,” she said.

“So far, I haven’t been disappointed.”

Martin has big plans for the future, as she hopes to incorporate new systems within the association that will increase efficiency in the IT area, as well as redesign its website to make it easier for students to find needed information.

Not only does Martin wish to make these internal changes, but she also wishes to involve IUP students.

“Giving a student the opportunity to be involved hands-on in a ‘real-life’ business network is great experience for them before they graduate,” she said.

She is currently learning the network setup and management, helping coworkers with IT projects, meeting with

the HUB Computer Lounge student worker team and familiarizing herself with the programs.

So far, Martin said her favorite part of her job is working with new individuals and seeing how they interact with one another in order to accomplish their goals or support the student body.

Starting a new job does not come without its challenges though, as it has been difficult learning the network setups and systems, according to Martin.

Regardless, Martin said she is grateful for this position and the learning opportunities provided to her through this new job.

Trouble with ‘desperate environmentalism’

By JOSHUA GALPARIN Los Angeles Times TNS Forum The following editorial appeared in the TNS Forum Thursday, Nov. 5: My students are extraordinary, but many see themselves as “corporate social responsibility consultants,” “ecosystem service managers,” “sustainability leaders,” “industrial efficiency experts,” maybe “clean energy entrepreneurs” – not environmentalists.

They avoid that label because they associate it with stalled progress on the issues they care about.

It is hard to blame anyone for shying away from the environmental movement. Many of my students were infants at the time of the 1990 Clean Air Act amendments, the last time

there was national legislative success on an environmental issue. Without a long view, traditional environmentalism can look like a failure.But dormancy does not equal failure.

The kind of stewardship championed by David Brower, Paul Ehrlich, E.O. Wilson, Morris and Stewart Udall, Edmund Muskie and Richard Nixon reflected their awe at the grandeur, interconnectedness and unpredictability of the ecosystems and wild landscapes. That perspective was transformative. It ushered in the Clean Air Act, the Clean Water Act and the Endangered Species Act, to name just a few.

This suite of laws produced real results and is still working, still protecting natural systems and the people

who rely on them. After all, we have the hopeful and heroic thinkers who gave us the Clean Air Act to thank for the 2015 Clean Power Plan, the only tool the United States has to enforce national climate change action.

But from climate change denial to corporate malfeasance, resistance to enforceable environmental protection is rampant.

Seeking any conceivable path forward, many young leaders are exchanging their sympathy for the victims of environmental damage for the concerns of the regulated community. They turn away from enforceability-based approaches and promote more conservative techniques that they hope will impress and persuade reticent and cynical policymakers and power brokers.

November 10, 2015

In the midst of several protests over racial tensions at its flagship campus in Columbia, Mo., the president and chancellor of the University of Missouri, Timothy M. Wolfe, resigned Monday as many requested.

You’ve likely heard about this latest development of racism in America.

But, like most, you’re probably trying to fill several holes related to why Wolfe resigned.

According to the Associated Press, students say there has been an increase in “tension and inequality with no systematic support” since last year’s fatal shooting of an unarmed black 18-year-old by a white police officer in Ferguson, Mo., approximately 117 miles from the campus.

According to The New York Times, there were two events during the fall semester in which black students were verbally abused via racial slurs. In a separate incident, someone used feces to scrawl a swastika in a university building.

Students grew angry when they felt Wolfe didn’t react quick enough to their outcries, so they took to protesting. One graduate student said he wouldn’t eat until Wolfe was gone. Much of the faculty canceled classes. An activist group held a sit-in on a campus plaza. It didn’t appear Wolfe was going to budge until football players announced Saturday that they wouldn’t play as long as the president remained in office.

So, after dealing with several issues since the 57-year-old president took over in 2012, Wolfe was forced to resign because students felt they were being bullied.

Wolfe moved to Columbia as a fourth-grade student and won a high school state championship there as a quarterback. He was recognized by many of his colleagues as a great leader, and while he wasn’t directly responsible for any of the racism that took place at the university, he was the public figure that suffered the blow.

Wolfe’s absence might not halt any racist actions, but it seems his resignation has shown how powerful a large group can be when racism is at the center of attention, even if there was no severe harm done.

Now the question is whether or not such a headlining incident will actually bring about further change in the initiatives at hand or if it will merely spark more conversation than action. A lack of action is exactly what seemed to lead to Wolfe’s resignation, but it remains to be seen whether his departure will spawn any different results.

Editorial and Letter Policy The Penn editorial and letter policies can be viewed online at our website at Thepenn.org/opinion.

If this is environmentalism at all, it is “desperate environmentalism,” characterized not by awe, enthusiasm and enjoyment of nature but by appeasement. It relies on utilitarian efficiencies, cost-benefit analyses, private sector indulgences and anthropocentric divvying of natural resources. It champions voluntary commitments, tweaks to corporate supply chains, protection not of the last great places on Earth but of those places that yield profit or services.

At best, the desperate form of environmentalism is a greyhound chasing a rabbit lure futilely around the track. At worst it is the ratcheting of individually good policies into a sweeping, embedded ideology from which the movement cannot return.

The environmentalists of old insisted

on transformation, not marginal gains.

Suddenly, economic efficiency moves from being one in a collection of cultural values that drive decisions to the only relevant value.

And the ratchet turns in only one direction. Having conceded so much to conservative approaches, desperate environmentalists cannot advocate what is now a radical idea of the past: Government should force polluters to reduce pollution for the sake of healthy natural systems and human enjoyment.

The problem is, desperate environmentalists strive for a mythical conservative embrace, but cooperation from the right is unrealistic. Desperate environmentalists could continue to erode their position until environmentalism grows unrecognizable.

Starbucks’ holiday cup changes spark national controversy

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

Monday, Starbucks locations across the United States switched from their white, traditional cups to their red, holiday cups.

Often seen as a merry sign of the upcoming holidays, this year’s design sparked controversy.

The red cup has featured a winterthemed design each year since it first appeared in 1997, with each year’s design different from the last, according to a Monday CNBC article.

Past designs have included everything from hand-drawn reindeer and

10

snowflakes to winking snowmen.

This year’s design, however, features an ombre-toned cup that is brighter red at the top and deeper at the bottom.

Several people have taken to Twitter and other social media platforms to bash the design, claiming that the cups are a “war on Christmas,” the article said.

Reviews of the cups have been as mixed on IUP campus as Starbucks’ 410-calorie grande Mocha Frappuccino Blended Coffee drink.

“For me, it’s not the lack of Christmas symbols that bugs me,” Contessa Mourne (sophomore, Gothic literature) said. “I just really hate the color red. It’s so bright and full of life.”

Conversely, red remains a hit with

other students.

“I like the color red,” Gilbert Hatchett (freshman, digging) said. “I like it a lot. You could say it’s my favorite color.

“See these red stains on my shirt?” he asked. “I could clean them. But I like that they serve as a reminder to me.”

Hatchett did not comment on what they reminded him of.

Some students didn’t have an opinion on the cups, but instead commented on the controversy itself.

“I think that the controversy over the cups exists because there’s nothing controversial about them this year,” Todd Binder (senior, vindictive reasoning) said.

“When everyone’s happy, it makes

some of us unhappy.”

Lucy Tailbots (junior, graphic redesign) mentioned some opinions about Starbucks so that both sides “could find common ground.”

“It’s not what’s in the cup that matters,” Tailbots said, “but what’s on it. I think we can all agree on that.

“No one would go to Starbucks for the taste.”

Linus Clase (sophomore, animation) said the argument shouldn’t be the focus of the holiday season.

“To be honest, I think we’re forgetting the true meaning of Starbucks,” Clase said. “It should really be about coffee on earth, and goodwill toward baristas.”

Trump overshadowed on ‘SNL’ Perry tops earnings list

By MARY MCNAMARA

By NARDINE SAAD

Los Angeles Times TNS

Maybe Larry David should run for president.

After all the agony and ecstasy, the promos and protests, Donald Trump may have hosted “Saturday Night Live,” but David owned it, first reprising his scary-great Bernie Sanders in the show’s opening skit and then giving voice, literally, to the hundreds gathered outside the NBC studio at 30 Rockefeller Center.

“You’re a racist,” a voice yelled as Trump mugged with Taran Killam and Darrell Hammond, both in Trump drag. “Trump’s a racist,” David shouted as the camera panned his way. “What are you doing, Larry?” Trump asked.

“I heard if I yelled that, I’d get $5,000,” David said with his signature joking-not-joking smirk, referring to DeportRacism.com’s offer.

“As a businessman, I can respect that,” Trump quipped in what was clearly intended as the bit’s punchline. But it was too late. Trump had been upstaged by the best of them.

Later in the show, he may have “chosen” to live-tweet a sketch rather than participate in it, but it was David who immediately blew up on Twitter.

Not that it was a fair race; David and Trump may have graduated from the same “What’re you lookin’ at, pal?” charm school, but “Saturday Night Live” is a comedy sketch show, and the one thing Trump has never claimed to be is a sketch comedian.

His Tax-Man-boogie in a skit mock-

ing Drake’s dance moves notwithstanding (it was genuinely hilarious), Trump agreed to host the show, as he said in his brief opening remarks, to prove he can take a joke, not that he can make one.

Good thing, too, because much of the show was devoted to testing this claim.

In an effort, perhaps, to avoid equaltime restrictions, the “SNL” writers limited Trump’s appearance to 12 minutes, and spent twice as many slamming him, sometimes with his participation, sometimes without.

A mocking depiction of the second year of the Trump presidency imagined Mexico’s president handing over a check to pay for the border wall, while First Daughter Ivanka Trump, the new secretary of the Interior, is redoing the Washington Monument in gold mirrored glass.

Strong and Vanessa Bayer put their former porn stars to work in a faux ad for the candidate, whom they continually referred to as Donald “Tramp.”

“Weekend Update” took several digs, including a reminder of Trump’s longtime insistence that President Barack

Obama is not an American, and an appearance by “Trump’s biggest supporter,” Drunk Uncle (Bobby Moynihan), who slurred slurs aimed at blacks, immigrants, women and Caitlyn Jenner.

Unfortunately, having gotten the elephant into the green room, no one knew quite what to do with him.

With a few exceptions – David, Drunk Uncle and Drake – the show was flat and, at times, markedly strained.

None of which had anything to do with Trump.

Though not a comedian, he appeared game for anything, including a weird bit involving a “laser harp,” as was the cast.

The fault lay solely with the writers who seemed unsure how to cope.

Indeed, with a cold open that featured Strong’s Rachel Maddow interviewing the democratic candidates – David’s Sanders, who got to make the famous “Live From New York” intro – “SNL” seemed so bent on appearing nonpartisan that it overcompensated and forgot its mandate: Be funny.

Fortunately, though, #LarryDavidin2016 happened to be on hand, and he remembered.

Katy Perry is roaring loudly on top of Forbes’ 2015 list of the highest earning women in music.

Thanks to her Prismatic World Tour and deals with Coty, Claire’s and CoverGirl, the “Roar” songstress, 31, earned an estimated $135 million from June 1, 2014, to June 1, 2015, to clinch the No. 1 spot, the financial magazine said.

Perry’s tour, which concluded its run last month, is said to have grossed more than $2 million in each city.

Landing in the No. 2 position is the quirky pop vixen’s purported “frenemy,” Taylor Swift, who reportedly wrote her chart-topper “Bad Blood” about the beef between them.

The “Shake It Off” singer, 25, earned an estimated $80 million following the launch of her widely successful pop album “1989” in October 2014.

The album sold more than 3.6 million copies and has churned out hit after hit, including “Style” and “Wildest Dreams.”

But much of Swift’s revenue came from her massive world tour that saw a celebrity guest (or two or three) grace the stage with her on any given night.

The tour kicked off in Tokyo last May and will wind down in Melbourne in December.

The iconic band Fleetwood Mac, with Stevie Nicks and Christine McVie, whose return this year made the group eligible for the list despite having three male members, hit the road with its On With the Show tour and earned an esti-

mated $59.5 million, clinching the No. 3 spot on the list, Forbes said.

Mother Monster and “American Horror Story: Hotel” star Lady Gaga landed in the No. 4 spot with $59 million comprised of her 66 shows during the scoring period and deals with fashion house Versace, Mac cosmetics and profits from her Fame fragrance.

“Drunk in Love” diva Beyoncé rounded out the top five with $54.5 million, courtesy of her On the Run Tour with husband Jay Z. That tour grossed over $100 million during 19 show dates in North America.

The A-listers nearly topped the magazine’s list of highest-paid celebrity couples for the second time last June, garnering an estimated $110.5 million.

In the No. 1 spot were Swift and her DJ beau Calvin Harris, who earned an estimated $146 million.

Crimson Hawks heating up at the right time

Williams eclipsed 100 rushing yards for fifth-straight game Saturday

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

In control of its own playoff destiny, the Indiana University of Pennsylvania football team took one step closer to postseason contention by outlasting Gannon University en route to a 26-14 victory Saturday on Senior Day. Quarterback Lenny Williams (freshman, accounting) broke FOOTBALL free for a 64-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter, and cornerback Jay Watkins (sophomore, kinesiology, health & sport science) intercepted a pass on the next possession to seal the game for the Crimson Hawks.

The victory gave IUP a share of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference (PSAC) West division title, its 16th alltime.

IUP does indeed get a share, but it also gets a new opponent next week in the form of winless Cheyney University (0-10).

West Chester University was the original opponent, but the Golden

Rams will represent the PSAC East in the state game against Slippery Rock University.

Cheyney was supposed to play at Slippery Rock, but it will instead travel to Indiana.

“Next week we play Cheyney, and that’s another notch we have to get over so we can get to the playoffs,” linebacker Dorian Lane (senior, accounting) said.

“It’s a great feeling to have the opportunity to play for that.”

On the field, IUP started the game strong and finished the day with 362 yards of offense.

Chris Temple (sophomore, accounting) ran for 142 yards and a touchdown, which came on the opening drive.

After a three-and-out by the Gannon offense, IUP struck again when Williams connected with sophomore wideout Walt Pegues (communications media) for a 54-yard score.

Kicker Ryan Stewart (junior, accounting) made two field goals (30 and 35 yards) to put the Crimson Hawks up 20-0 with just more than nine minutes to go in the second quarter.

Gannon did not go quietly, however,

as it tallied two straight touchdowns, making the score 20-14 entering the fourth quarter.

IUP had multiple opportunities to expand its lead, but it was unable to capitalize on the favorable field position.

“We just had so many missed opportunities on offense, Jiminy Christmas,” head coach Curt Cignetti said. “I mean, it was unbelievable.”

Fumbles and missed field goals kept the pressure on the IUP defense, which stepped up once again.

“If we’re not doing good in one area, we expect another area to do good,” IUP senior defensive end Karon Gibson (nutrition) said. “Every time we go out there, it’s just like, next play, next drive, next series. The past doesn’t matter.

We’re on to the future.”

IUP was ranked sixth in the latest Super Region One poll, and is poised to make the Division II playoffs for the first time since 2012.

The top nine teams in the region won on Saturday, so the Crimson Hawks need a win next week to have a realistic shot at the playoffs.

“We didn’t execute,” Cignetti said. “I

mean, at the end of the day, it comes down to execution. It’s nice to win when you don’t necessarily play your best.”

school record of 19, held by Michael Mann, who set the record in 1993.

IUP held running back Brock Jones, last year’s PSAC West Offensive Athlete of the Year, to just 63 yards of total offense.

Cheyney has not won more than one game in a football season since 2003.

NOTES: Temple has 16 rushing touchdowns this season. He is only three touchdowns shy of tying the single season

Tough exhibition games prepare IUP for season

By ALEXANDRIA MANSFIELD Staff Writer A.M.Mansfield@iup.edu

“Every day, we just come in and work hard, wanting to get better each day,” guard Lauren Wolosik (redshirt sophomore, economics) said.

“Our practices can get very competitive, and we really push each other to get better every day.”

Attempting to put that hard work into action, the Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s women’s basketball team fell to the University of Maryland, 101-56, in its first exhibition game Wednesday.

12

Leslie Stapleton (senior, biology premed) led the scoring for the Crimson Hawks, notching 14 of the team’s 56 points.

She made all four of her free-throw attempts and went 4 of 6 from the field and 2 of 4 from 3-point range.

Marina Wareham (senior, exercise science) scored 11 points, and Megan Smith (sophomore, human resources) followed her closely with 10.

Wareham shot 3 of 6 from behind the arc and had three rebounds accompanied by two assists.

Smith shot 4 of 10 from the field, collected four rebounds and notched one steal.

IUP as a whole made eight 3-point shots and collected 28 rebounds.

All 12 players made it onto the court, with eight of them scoring.

Wolosik, Zhane Brooks (senior, chemistry/ pre-pharmacy), Carolyn Appleby (freshman, safety science) each scored six points. Wolosik had a teamhigh three assists.

“What we did best was play as a team and play together, really sharing the ball and creating shots for each other,” Wolosik said.

On Sunday, a sibling rivalry of sorts took place when head coach Tom McConnell’s Crimson Hawks played their second exhibition against his sister’s

November 10, 2015

University of Pittsburgh Panthers, losing 75-60. IUP trailed 44-26 in the first half, and the difference was too much to make up against Suzie McConnellSerio’s Division-I squad.

Stapleton led the scoring again with 19 points. She shot 3 of 7 from the 3-point line and 2 of 3 from the freethrow line.

Brooks had 12 points, while Wareham and Brittany Robinson (freshman, undeclared business) each scored seven.

The Crimson Hawks started strong in the third and fourth quarters, reducing Pitt’s lead to 50-38 and 64-52, respectively.

IUP struggled at times with ball con-

trol, as it turned the ball over nine times and had 33 rebounds in the game.

Despite the losses, Wolosik expressed positivity.

“Our two exhibition games were great experience for our team,” she said.

“Playing against ranked teams really showed us what we need to work on and what we already do well as a team.”

The team is aiming to finish at the top of the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference West and compete for an NCAA Championship, according to Wolosik.

IUP has one more exhibition game Saturday at Bowie State University in Bowie, Md.

TAkEAWAYS

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

Week 10 of Big Ten play was highlighted by upsets, close games and a controversial call. Here are the top takeaways from this week: 1. Quarterback J.T. Barrett should remain the starter for the Ohio State University Buckeyes.

With Barrett serving a one-game suspension due to an arrest during the bye week, Cardale Jones started for OSU this week.

Jones, who started for the Buckeyes during last season’s national championship run, was not flashy, completing a little more than 50 percent of his passes and failing to eclipse Cardale Jones 200 passing yards against the Golden Gophers.

After leading 21-0 heading into the fourth quarter, the University of Minnesota scored 14 unanswered points until a failed onside kick gave OSU a short field.

A 38-yard run by Jones eventually put the game away. Expect Barrett to return to his starting role when he returns this week.

2. The Cornhuskers finally won in the final seconds of a game.

University of Nebraska has suffered three final-second losses this season.

Nebraska was finally able to pull off some late-game heroics on a Tommy Armstrong Jr. 30-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Reilly with 17 seconds left in regulation against No. 7 Michigan State University.

The play was reviewed to see if Reilly illegally went out of bounds and back in play before making the catch.

Officials ruled that Reilly was forced out of bounds, making the catch legal.

The Cornhuskers held off the Spar-

tans on the following possession to secure a 39-38 upset.

Armstrong Jr. finished with 320 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions.

MSU quarterback Connor Cook finished with 335 yards and four touchdowns.

3. Penn State University failed to capitalize on the Wildcats’ misfortunes.

Despite kicking woes and an injury to its starting quarterback, Northwestern University fended off the Nittany Lions’ second-half surge for a 23-21 win.

Wildcats backup quarterback and senior Zack Oliver didn’t have earthshattering numbers, but he threw two passing touchdowns and ran for two as well.

Northwestern kicker Jack Mitchell had a rough afternoon, missing two field goals and an extra point, but he ultimately redeemed himself with a gamewinning field goal with nine seconds remaining.

4. Jake Rudock’s career-best passing performance led to a Wolverines blowout.

Before Saturday, University of Michigan quarterback Jake Rudock eclipsed only 200 passing yards in one game this season.

Rudock took advantage of Rutgers University’s No. 120-ranked pass defense en route to a career-high 337-yard performance.

Ten Wolverines caught a pass in the 49-16 win.

5. The University of Illinois ended its losing streak in a blowout over Purdue University.

Coming off three straight losses, the Illini dismantled the Boilermakers in a 48-14 effort.

Wes Lunt had three touchdown passes in the first half, while running backs Ke’Shawn Vaughn and Josh Ferguson

rushed for 180 yards and 130 yards, respectively. The victory prevented Illinois from falling under .500 and inched them one win closer to becoming bowl eligible with a 5-4 record.

6. The University of Iowa’s defense held the Big Ten’s No. 2 passer in check during its 35-27 victory over the Hoosiers.

Indiana University’s Nate Sudfeld is second in the Big Ten in passer rating and third in touchdown passes and yards. The Hawkeyes held Sudfeld to a season-low 180 yards and 43.2 completion percentage and remain undefeated at No. 8.

7. Iowa’s defense was one-dimensional.

Although Iowa had an impressive day shutting down Sudfeld, it strug-

gled to defend the run game, as Jordan Howard had 174 rushing yards and two touchdowns.

If Iowa wants to contend for the Big Ten Championship, its rush defense will need improvement.

8. The University of Wisconsin and the University of Maryland were evenly matched.

The Wisconsin Badgers and Maryland Terrapins posted nearly identical stats in their matchup, which Wisconsin won 31-24.

Wisconsin posted 117 yards on the ground, while Maryland had a total of 112.

They were also similar in total yards with the Terrapins, edging the Badgers 316 to 305.

The difference in the game was a 98yard kickoff return touchdown by Wisconsin’s Natrell Jamerson.

Wisconsin climbed back into the AP Poll this week at No. 22.

9. Big Ten players know how to get to the quarterback.

Three of the top five sack leaders in the nation belong to the Big Ten Conference.

Penn State’s Carl Nassib leads the nation with 15.5, which is also a school record.

He’s followed by Maryland’s Yannick Ngakoue, with 11; and Wisconsin’s Joe Schobert, ranked fourth with 9.5.

10. The majority of ranked teams are from the Big Ten. The Big Ten Conference leads all conferences with five ranked teams in the AP Poll (OSU, Iowa, MSU, Wisconsin and Northwestern). The SEC, ACC and Big 12 each have four.

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

Behind Antonio Brown’s record day, the Pittsburgh Steelers slithered past the Oakland Raiders 38-35 Sunday to improve to 5-4.

In the process, however, the Steelers once again lost quarterback Ben Roethlisberger to injury.

“Big Ben” suffered a mid-foot sprain after being sacked by Aldon Smith.

He is expected to return after the team’s bye week to take on the “12s” in Seattle.

Roethlisberger ended Sunday’s game 24 of 44 for 334 yards, two touchdowns and one interception.

Brown, meanwhile, had the hot hands, pulling in a Steelers franchiserecord 17 receptions and 284 yards on 23 targets. Brown’s 23 targets are tied for third most all time, his 284 yards are ninth all time, and his 17 receptions are sixth all time.

Brown also set a record for most yards and receptions without a single touchdown.

Landry Jones once again replaced Roethlisberger and tossed the 57-yard Antonio Brown catch and run to Brown that set up kicker Chris Boswell’s 18-yard field goal with four seconds left to win.

Jones finished the game 4 of 6 for 79 yards. He is expected to start when the Steelers host the 2-7 Cleveland Browns on Sunday.

All-Pro running back Le’Veon Bell’s knee surgery went well, according to a post by Bell on Twitter.

The loss of Bell certainly will not cause opponents to lose any sleep, but the play of replacement running back DeAngelo Williams might.

Williams ran for the most yards in Week 9 with 170 on 27 carries and two touchdowns.

Knocking the dust off his 32-yearold legs, Williams also had a season-best rush of 53 yards while adding two receptions for 55 yards.

The running back on the other team, Latavius Murray, rushed for 96 yards on 17 carries.

He left the game due to the NFL’s concussion protocol in the fourth quarter after getting drilled by Steelers safety Mike Mitchell.

Quarterback Derek Carr picked up the slack for the Raiders, throwing for 301 yards on 24 of 44 passing with four touchdowns and one interception.

In back-to-back weeks, Carr’s tossed four touchdowns, making him the first Raiders signal caller to do so since Kerry Collins.

Carr has also thrown for three touchdowns per game in three consecutive weeks, the first Oakland quarterback to do so since Rich Gannon in 2001.

Thirty-five is the most points the Steelers have allowed all season, but the

Sports

defense picked up three fumble recoveries and an interception in Sunday’s throwback rivalry.

Cornerback Antwon Blake led the team in tackles again with nine total, and defensive end Cam Heyward was right behind him with eight. This was the first game of the season the Steelers did not record a sack.

The Steelers offense recorded 597 yards of offense, the most ever on a Raiders team in a game that ended in regulation.

Pittsburgh owns the NFL’s leading four two-point conversions, the NFL record is six two-point conversions in a season.

Cleveland Browns head coach Mike Pettine said that Johnny Manziel may get another start at quarterback under his belt if Josh McCown is not ready to go.

McCown missed the last game in a 31-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Prediction: Steelers 25, Browns 19

ON THE RISE

DeAngelo Williams In three starts replacing Bell this season, Williams has 68 carries for 374 yards and five rushing touchdowns. His 5.3 yards per carry ranks third among players that have 90-plus attempts this season. At 32 years old, Williams is the oldest starting running back in the league, and from a fantasy football perspective, he might be the most valuable as well.

ON THE FALl Antonio Brown

Even after his record-breaking performance, Brown and his fans should be concerned because of Roethlisberger’s injury. In the four games Roethlisberger has been sidelined this season, Brown has 17 catches for 235 yards and no touchdowns. In the five games Roethlisberger has started, Brown has 52 catches for 767 yards and three touchdowns.
