’90: Crisis strikes close to home At least three IUP faculty sent to active duty

By MICHELE CERVI Penn Contributing Writer

Sept. 28, 1990 – Reserve units across the country have been called to duty due to an escalation of troops in the Middle East.

Even though the turmoil is half a world away, it may be hitting closer to home than people think, and not just in the rising gasoline and oil prices.

At least three IUP faculty members have been sent to active duty in the Middle East, Lt. Col. Timothy Gilbert, chairperson of the military science department, said.

Capt. Hefner of the military science department has been sent to Saudi Arabia. Capt. Mark McCrary, another teacher in the military science department, and Sgt. Piper are also in the Middle East.

Some students may also be seeing duty in the Middle East.

“After the Vietnam War, the [U.S.]

Army quietly did away with deferments for students. If a full-time college student belongs to that unit, the college student goes with the unit, including students that are in ROTC,” Gilbert said.

ROTC had been one of the primary ways students avoided being called to active duty, Gilbert added.

Now that student deferments are a thing of the past, this is no longer true.

The only reserve unit from Pennsylvania to be called to active duty in the Middle East is the 1185th Transportation Detachment from Lancaster.

It is conceivable that an IUP student or students may be among the members of this reserve unit, Gilbert said.

“I would think so,” Gilbert said about an IUP student being included in this unit. “You could probably count them on the fingers of one hand, though.”

The reserve unit in Indiana is in a peace-time status, Gilbert said.

At this time, he thinks it is unlikely that the unit will be deployed.

“That does not mean, however, that as this drags along and units need to be rotated that they might not get their chance to assume the burden of citizenship,” he added.

A policy statement released by the State System of Higher Education said a full refund of tuition will be given to students who are ordered to active duty, Phillis Groomes, director of accounts receivable, said.

The reimbursement for housing and meal plan costs will be prorated, Edward Norberg, vice president of finance, said.

Students will pay for how many weeks of the services they used, he said.

Under the guidelines of the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief At, students would be eligible for deferments on their educational loans, Gilbert said.

The financial aid office is not sure how it will handle payments of grants, Associate Director William Srsic said.

’51: Cease-fire negotiations continue

By DICK HEIGES Courtesy of IUP Special Collections and University Archives Nov. 16, 1951 – In the news week after week are the cease-fire talks in Korea. As these negotiations drag on, our casualty list climbs higher.

A cease-fire does not mean peace. It is merely a temporary armistice on the field during which armies may rest and reorganize. Progress towards a ceasefire has been only on paper.

The cold facts are that the shooting continues, another winter approaches, and the Reds’ airpower is increasing.

The Korean war began in June 1950. In December a United Nations committee proposed a cease-fire, but China demanded a sear in the UN and the island of Formosa. In May, Russia, by way of a Malik press conference, put out peace-feelers.

After the usual round of arguments, negotiations actually got underway at

News

Kaesong early in the summer.

The cease-fire line could not be freed upon, and the communists broke off all negotiations claiming that the UN forces had violated the neutrality of Kaesong. This fall negotiations have resumed at the little village Panmunjom.

The communists have now agreed to a cease-fire line that would include “heartbreak ridge” and allow a two and one-half mile buffer zone.

The Reds are still insisting on keeping Kaesong, obviously for face-saving reasons, for it is the only area the comunists now hold south of the 38th parallel.

A cease-fire alone would be entirely undecisive without political negotiations which brings in the problems of Formosa, a communist China seat in the UN, and a general settlement of Far East problems.

The concessions are a recognition of the growing strength of the UN forces and the large Chinese losses.

A cease-fire would allow time for a build-up and modernization of Chinese and North Korean forces. It would give communist China a chance to eliminate anti-communist guerrillas and to aid Ho Chi-Minh’s communists fighting the French in Indo-China. Also the cease-fire would fit into the communist world-wide “peace campaign” which has the objective of bringing about a let-down in our rearmament.

The Reds also hope a cease-fire would lead to a split in Allied ranks concerning Formosa and the recognition of communist China.

A truce in Korea would end the sense of urgency in Japan, Russia fears the rearming of Japan just as much as she fears the rearming of Germany.

If there is a truce there is no possibility that we will quickly pull our troops out of Korea. Here at home defense production and the draft would continue, but we would have to guard ourselves against letting down our efforts.

’87: AIDS is on IUP campus

By TIMOTHY J. CARROLL Penn Staff Reporter

Oct. 9, 1987 – An undisclosed number of AIDS patients treated at Indiana Hospital have connections to IUP, according to one of the hospital’s gynecologists.

“I can’t tell you what capacity they are in, whether they are janitors, administrators or students,” Dr. Deborah Pike said. “There are AIDS cases on campus, though.”

Pike said that she couldn’t give a specific number of cases or details about the patients due to the confidentiality of the medical records of such patients.

This confidentiality, Pike said, may make some doctors reluctant to say anything about the AIDs epidemic.

“We have treated AIDS patients at Indiana Hospital,” said Dr. Larry Kachik, hospital medical director and the director of emergency services. “I don’t know of any cases from the (IUP) campus.”

The administrator of Pechan Health Center, Dr. Zane Kirk, also said he had no knowledge of AIDS cases on campus. But Pike

still insists that AIDS cases have come from IUP, no matter what other doctors may be saying.

“AIDS is on campus, even though we don’t hear about it or see it that much,” she said. She speculated that the “melting-pot” environment of a university could increase the probability of an AIDS infection on campus.

Kachik doesn’t think the probability of an AIDS outbreak occurring in Indiana is very high.

“We’re at a low risk in Indiana for the epidemic,” he said. “In relation to other areas, such as New York City, we’re not exposed to as much,” he said. “AIDS is an unusual occurrence here.

The virus is transmitted by blood and semen; there is no evidence it is carried through saliva or tears. Those at the highest risk of catching the disease are homosexuals and intravenous drug abusers, Kachik said.

“If you’re outside those two groups, it’s difficult to catch,” he said. “You have to get the virus into the blood system.”

But Pike said that the risk for heterosexuals is growing.

Stabbing reported on campus Friday

x (Map courtesy of iup.edu)

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

Two people suffered injuries in a reported stabbing on campus Friday at the intersection of Grant Street and Pratt Drive, according to IUP police.

The incident, which occurred at 9:15 p.m. Friday, prompted IUP to issue a crime alert message to be sent to students who are registered for alert texts. The same message was sent to all university students about an hour later.

Campus police are looking for three male suspects who were wearing dark hoodies at the time of the incident, which happened at one of IUP’s busier intersections near Delaney Hall and the S.W. Jack Cogeneration Plant.

A red SUV was reported to have been at the scene of the crime, according to a Saturday morning email update sent to students. The message also said that one victim was released from the hospital, while the second victim was still hospitalized.

Those with information are asked to contact University Police at 724-357-2141.

’93: Whitmyre fire displaces 135 residents ’79: Gay rights group expanding

By JANET SHEAFFER and THOMAS P. WHITE Penn News Editorial Staff

Dec. 3, 1993 – A fire in Whitmyre Hall on the Indiana University of Pennsylvania campus started around 6 p.m. yesterday, displacing 135 students, destroying at least one room and causing an unknown amount of damage.

The point of origin was in Room 313, on the southwest corner of the building, near Breezedale.

“I heard it [the fire] spread to two, possibly three other rooms, but not extensively,” Liesel Adam, a resident assistant for Elkin and Whitmyre, said. “I’m sure that room [where the fire started] is completely gutted.”

Linda Hall, assistant vice president of Student Affairs, said Room 313 is in “bad shape,” as is the room across the hall, 312.

Other rooms, she said, sustained more smoke damage than fire damage. On the other hand, fire caused “extensive” damage to the third-floor hallway, she said.

“You can’t even see the room numbers [on the doors],” she said. “You [the residents] will probably be surprised at the amount of damage.”

Few details were immediately known, but some residents of the building charged the fire started from an unattended cigarette. The cause of the blaze could not be confirmed last night.

“I don’t think it’s even good to talk about it [the cause of the fire],” said Rich Baginski, associate director of

A fire on the third floor of Whitmyre Hall, IUP’s oldest residence hall, destroyed one room, caused extensive smoke and water damage and displaced 135 residents Thursday evening.

operations for the Office of Housing and Residence Life (OHRL). “We’ve all heard things, but nobody really knows.”

Baginski said the cause won’t be known until the fire marshal makes an official determination.

Barb Domagala, a third-floor resident of Whitmyre Hall, said she initially thought the fire alarm was false.

Two students reportedly tried to put the fire out with a fire extinguisher, but were unsuccessful and instead warned other students about the fire.

While the fire appeared to be out, smoke still billowed from the building by 7 p.m. as residents were scattered throughout the Hadley Union Building (HUB) and Elkin Hall, where residents were given comfort, food and free phone calls home.

The building did not reopen to residents last night, and may not be opened today. Students were escort-

ed in small groups into the building last night only to retrieve personal items, Baginski said. They were advised to take out enough belongings to make it through Friday.

Campus Police officers were posted in Room 313 to watch for rekindling, and outside the building for security, Baginski said. Electricity and water to the building were turned off.

OHRL was finding temporary housing for displaced students, who could also choose to stay with friends.

Elkin Hall, which was kept open all night, was designated headquarters for information and assistance, Hall said.

Whitmyre was supposed to be closed to residents this year, but the Office of Housing and Residence Life reopened the building in September to approximately 135 students, nearly all freshmen, on its first and third floors.

Feb. 19, 1979 – Membership in the Students for Gay Rights is growing and the number of activities are increasing, according to the club’s president.

There are now 25 active members according to president Craig Aspden. Last semester the club had a membership of three or four, Aspen said.

“I expect even more next fall as things begin to open up,” he said.

Last semester, the Students for Gay Rights conducted no concrete activities, according to Aspden.

“We haven’t done a thing since our National Blue Jeans Day which was last April,” he said.

Aspen blames this lack of action and events on the organization’s lack of support.

“It’s hard to plan anything without having people to bak you up,” he explained.

Activities Planned However, this semester the Students for Gay Rights organization has three concrete actions on its agenda. Another National Blue Jeans Day is being planned, as well as a reopening of its Gay Hotline.

The organization also plans speeches and visits to IUP’s psychology and sociology classes.

The National Blue Jeans Day is scheduled for April 14. According to Aspden, anyone wearing blue jeans

that day either shows, either directly or indirectly, support for the Gay Rights Movement. Aspen is hoping for a more organized and publicized attempt this spring. He said last year’s event had little planning.

The Students for Gay Rights organization meets every other Tuesday in the Sociology Lounge in Keith Hall. On the interim Tuesdays, the group meets for an encounter session which is open to anyone on campus. According to Aspden, these encounter sessions are used by those who attend to “try and get in touch with their feelings.”

Club Is Necessary Faculty advisor, Dr. Chancy Rawleigh, a sociology professor, feels this organization is not only necessary, but also a right of these gay students.

“It is important to make others see that homosexuality is not deviant. It is just a different orientation to life,” he said.

According to Rawleigh, the Gay Rights Movement is no longer a political identification, but rather “a social identification” for gay students. Aspen said in addition to helping dispel what he called myths about the gay lifestyle, another purpose of the organization is to act as a social club.

“It’s a place for gays to get together and be accepted, without any outside harassment,” he said.

Aspden forsees yet a better future for the Students for Gay Rights.

’90: Flex dollars can pay for pizza delivery

By LORRAINE KUNKLE Penn Staff Reporter

July 2, 1990 – Beginning in the fall semester of 1990, Campus Dining Services will offer a variety of changes including renovations in the Junction and an additional way to pay for meals, according to the acting senior food service director.

Sue Bogan said that in an effort to provide more convenience and a broader range of choices to IUP students, a program called flex dollars will begin in September.

A flex dollars account may be opened at any time during the fall and spring semesters through the IUP Accounts Receivable office, Bogan said.

The initial purchase must be a minimum of $100; subsequent amounts can be purchased in $25 increments.

When an account is opened, the student’s I-card will be coded with a bar code. Each time the account is used, the card is read by a scanner and the purchase amount is subtracted from the balance of the flex dollars account. Bogan said flex dollars can be used for any campus dining service including food delivered by Itza Pizza.

“So if you have friends over and want to order a pizza but have no cash, Itza Pizza will deliver pizzas and deduct it from your account,” she said. “The major point behind flex dollars is convenience,” Bogan added. “It eliminates the need for daily budgeting and offers more security than cash.”

Resident hall students will still be required to have full meal plans, but they will also be able to purchase flex dollars if they don’t have the weekend plan or if they plan to eat at the HUB Rock Cafe. Bogan pointed out two advantages of supplementing a meal plan with a flex dollars account: “If you’ve ever been in line and find your purchase exceeds the cash equivalency for that meal, you know how embarrassing it is to have to fish for money of our something back,” she said. “With flex dollars, the extra amount would be deducted from your account.”

“Love From Home” packages may also be purchased and charged to the flex dollars account. Bogan said there are two additions to that program. A “Football Brown Bag” and a “Treat Yourself Right Basket” will be offered this fall and spring. Commuter stu-

dents can also use flex dollars. They will have three options: to purchase a meal plan, to purchase only flex dollars or to purchase both plans. Another change this fall includes a complete renovation of the Junction.

“Booths will be added along the wall,” Bogan said. “Two new food areas are also being added: leghorns and fresh-from-scratch pasta,” she added.

“Leghorns” features fried chicken, chicken nuggets and broiled chicken sandwiches, and is available in the Junction. The pasta machine provides fresh-from-scratch pasta daily, and accompanied by special sauces, will be available in the Junction and in Folger Dining Hall.

The food court will include deliworks; allegro, fresh pasta; grillwork, hamburgers hotdogs and french fries; changing scenes, different features like Mexican and Chinese; and treat yourself right, for the nutrition-conscious student. When Folger changes to a food court, Foster Dining Hall will be the only traditional dining hall.

“Students should be receiving our brochure in the mail describing the available programs some time this summer,” Bogan said.

IN REACTION TO THE NUCLEAR ACCIDENT at the Three Mile Island plant, approximately 150 demonstrators rallied in the Oak Grove yesterday afternoon. The group marched two miles to the Penelec office, 25 percent owners of the Three Mile Island facility.

’79: Anti-nuclear protestors march to Penelec office

By ERIC FREEHLING April 6, 1979 – An estimated 150 students and faculty demonstrated against the use of nuclear power yesterday afternoon.

Fathering in front of Waller Hall at approximately 2:30 chanting “No Nukes!” and carrying signs, the group listened to speakers and then marched to the offices of Pennsylvania Electric to present petitions.

Harvey Holtz, of the sociology/ anthropology department, speaking before the group said that the Three Mile Island nuclear reactor accident “was no isolated accident.”

Citing past nuclear accidents such as the 1956 Russian mishap that reportedly claimed hundreds of lives and the 1965 nuclear meltdown of the Enrico Fermi facility in Detroit, Holtz said last year nuclear plants had “861 abnormal occurrences in America blamed on human error.

To be human is to err, to get rid of errors is to get rid of humans.

I think that’s what they’re trying to do.”

Holtz said the nuclear question “is not a physics problem but a social and political one.”

He called the nuclear power is-

sue “part of a much larger structure where the consumers are hurt.”

“Saying the anti-nuclear movement “was not dead” but dedicated to “bringing this evil menace down,” to the applause of the demonstrators.

Rev. Frank Kantz of the Lutheran Ministry, said, “We have to watch that we don’t buy the premise that we need more and more power, that we’ll continue to need electrical gadgets, that you and I are so dumb that we can’t cut back on our own.”

Kantz said, “We have to examine our own lifestyles because we as a community consume a great deal of energy,” citing the fact that the University dormitories alone contain almost 1,000 individual refrigerators.

“If we’re unwilling to cut back and make those sacrifices we’ll need more and more power. Future generations will neither understand nor forgive what we’ve done in the name of power and selfish power consumption.”

Following the demonstration in the Oak Grove, the group marched to the offices of Pennsylvania Electric, which owns 25 percent of the Three Mile island plant, to present the company with its petitions.

’90: Students stage rally

By TIM NOEL

Penn Contributing Writer

Dec. 14, 1990 – A campus grassroots organization staged an anti-war rally protesting U.S. involvement in the Middle East Wednesday afternoon in the Oak Grove.

The group, Students for Peace in the Middle East, told onlookers that information they have received on the Persian Gulf Crisis may not be accurate.

“Don’t believe the hype,” organization members said.

The group said the following information are some of the reasons why they feel the United States should not be involved: • Only 5 percent of U.S. oil comes from Iraq Kuwait.

• Hussein was fully supported by the United States until right before the invasion.

• Kuwait is ruled by a nondemocratic royal family, and only 25 percent of the population are actual citizens of the country.

Though not one of the speakers downplayed the significance of Iraq’s invasion of a sovereign state, the involvement of our troops was questioned.

IUP sociology professor Harvey Holtz said, “Many will die to defend oil, monarchs and ego, anything but what we should be defending at this time in our world. We should be defending peace, security and the right for everyone to live.”

Mary Noel Woollard, the Pa. chairperson of the Military Families Support Network, whose fiance is stationed in Saudi Arabia, said, “How can we compare one gallon of gasoline with only one human life, let alone the hundreds of thousands of people we have at risk right now? We must not to be lulled to sleep by the recent turn of events […] we must continue to support our troops overseas, and the United Nation resolutions condemning Iraq,” Wollard said.

The debate concerning the U.S. involvement in the Middle East has been increasingly favoring an anti-war consensus.

While 80 percent of Americans supported President George Bush in late August, that figure has dropped to less than 50 percent.

Congress has even grown uneasy about not being completely informed of how long U.S. troops will be in the Middle East.

’37: Women students to have radios in rooms

Oct. 16, 1937 – On Friday, October 8, Dr. Samuel Fausold announced that radios would be permitted in student’s rooms.

Up to this time only the teachers living in the girl’s dormitory were granted the privilege of having radios installed in their rooms.

Although this is an experiment, it is the hope of the authorities that the students will co-operate, thus making the issue permanent.

Mr. Lauver, bursar, has been authorized to supervise the installation of all

radios to be sure that they are safe.

Students are requested to comply with this ruling.

Radios installed by persons lacking in the knowledge of the fundamentals of electrical precautions are apt to become fire hazards and cause considerable damage.

This new advantage of having contact with the outside world assures the students a chance to listen to many programs of educational and entertainment value.

’27: Poetry club holds first meeting Oct. 14, 1927 – The first meeting of the Edward Arlington Robinson Poetry Club was held at the house of Mrs. Whitmyre, Tuesday, October 4, at five o’clock.

The name of the club was decided upon, and a plan was accepted for the meetings of the year, which includes a detailed study of the stories written

about King Arthur from old English literature up to the present time.

This study will terminate in the reading of Robinson’s “Tristram.”

Miss Parks and the members of the program committee then read some favorite poems. The committee plans to have some member of the faculty speak or read at the next meeting.

End of an era: Fraternities fall to make way for 2000 HUB expansion

Several brothers and their friends came to see the destruction of what was once their house. From left to right: Brandon Wilson, Christian Zarichnak, David DiMarcantonio, Brett Fawcett and Keri Snyder all attended the destruction with Marley (center). “A few of the older brothers were upset,” Wilson said of the house being destroyed. “At first we were all a little hesitant, but once we moved into the new house, we realized how nice it was.” Many of the Theta Chi brothers, who were relocated to a house across the street, took blocks from the old house to keep the memory alive.

’93: Men join fight against sexual assault at IUP

By KAREN LACHENMEYER Penn Staff Writer

Nov. 19, 1993 – Sexual assaults occur almost everywhere, and at Indiana University of Pennsylvania a group of students are forming an organization to raise awareness and support for victims.

Tuesday, Men Against Rape held its third meeting of the semester in Wallace Hall; however, only a handful of people attended the meetings.

Nonetheless, the goal of this new group is to heighten awareness, especially for men, on what constitutes acquaintance rape, according to John McNeill, campus minister and adviser for the group.

At the present time the members of Men Against Rape are on the prevalence of acquaintance rape on IUP. “We are trying to do a survey on rapes in general that have occurred at this campus,” said Rob Metzger, a junior communications media major.

However, he added, doing research hasn’t been easy. Due to the delicate nature of the questions, group members feel it will be difficult to find answers.

“It’s not a simple yes or no answer,” said McNeill, “because they [the victims] may not know that they have or admit that they have [been assaulted].”

Along with the proposed study, it is working toward gaining recognition as a campus organization.

’25: Dr. Keith greets students

By JOHN A. H. KEITH Courtesy of IUP Special Collections and University Archives Nov. 5, 1925 – How do you like the recently imported “Medicine Hat Squaw Winter”? The oldest inhabitant (who is also usually the wisest as well) never knew anything like it. Therefore write it down, so that you may be able to tell your grandchildren about it.

There are various explanations of this unusual weather. It has been charged to our increased enrollment, sun spots, the

groundhog, the loss of all our hockey sticks, the broken resolutions of the faculty, the Balkan rumpus, and to the Student Lodge.

Certain it is that the weather has seriously interfered with the use of the lodge.

The Indiana Students’ Lodge Association is now legally chartered as a corporation of the first class without capital stock.

The Board of Directors consist of the Principal, the Dean of Women, the Director of the Training School, the President of the Senior Class, and the President of the Junior Class. The first payment has been made by faculty subscriptions. The second

is to be made from pledges due December 1, 1926; the forth by pledges due December 1, 1927. The Lodge Association secures complete possession March 1, 1926.

From the foregoing it is evident that improvements will have to be financed by later groups of students than those whose pledges made possible the purchase of the Lodge property.

The Lodge is distinctly of, by, and for the students. The State has not invested a penny in the property. Indiana students will make of the Lodge a most wonderfully fine thing in student life.

In the meantime, the group has many ideas for activities.

One such idea is to set up a table in the Hadley Union Building, pass out literature on the definition and effects of rape, and possibly have a video to show, in order to heighten awareness about acquaintance rape.

“I think people should be given this information when they come for orientation so they are confronted with the issue up front,” said Metzler, who is also a peer educator at Pecan

Health Center.

The group is also looking into organizing a Six O’Clock Series on acquaintance rape and the effects it has on victims and their friends.

“I really hope that we get a lot of support on campus,” said Metzger, “and if there are any guys out there that have the same feelings they should come out and help. Thinking something is a problem,” Metzler said, “and doing something about it are two different things.”

’44: What -- No Goal?

Dec. 12, 1944 – In connection with the Sixth War Loan Drive running from November 20 through December 16, many schools have set up as their goals a figure high enough to pay for the sponsoring of some piece of military equipment.

The Army and Navy has a selected list of equipment that may be sponsored by a school and that will carry its name. These items range from a Bomb Tractor for loading bombers priced at $1,150, to a huge B-29 Bomber costing $600,000.

A school must show the State War Finance Office that it has sold bonds and stamps equal to the cost of the time they wish to sponsor. The Office then makes out two sponsorship panels — one forwarded to the Army or Navy, bearing the name and address of the sponsoring group, that is placed directly in the article and a duplicate panel that is sent to the school as a receipt or certificate.

What is our goal for the Sixth War Loan Drive here? Evidently our enthusiasm is not great enough for us to even set up a quota of stamp and bond sales. Perhaps because this drive is the sixth in which we have been asked to invest, not contribute, but invest, we feel that it is not important. We are all too complacent and think that because V-E Day is near, our job is practically finished. V-E Day should be regarded as one of rededication to an unfinished task rather than one of celebration.

Last week marked three years since we have been at war. Prime Minister Churchill recently announced that the war with Germany may extend several months into 1945. Authorities estimate that it may take another three years before we have taken care of the Japs completely, unconditionally. Finishing off Japan will necessitate future loan drives that will make even greater demands of us than the current drive which seeks as its goal fourteen billion dollars, five billions to be raised from individuals.

Recently a War Chest Drive was launched on campus. Through posters, bulletin notices, projects, and other advertising media, everyone could not help but become conscious of the drive. The committee set a goal of $1,700. Students, faculty, and organizations went over the top in their contributions and receipts and pledge now total near $2,000. If we did that well in supporting a drive with contributions, as worth-while as the drive may be, it stands to reason that we should at least set an equal goal for a drive that means so much to our own personal security and welfare as the Sixth War Loan.

Even though the Sixth War Loan Drive ends Saturday, you can have your chance to buy those bonds and stamps each week. Once a week the sale of bonds and stamps will be sponsored by a different organization at a booth set up in John Sutton Hall. Do your share. Remember that our country is still at war. Are you?

’79: Billy Crystal: Warm, funny, and well-received

By JEFF HILEMAN Penn Contributing Editor

April 4, 1979 – He could be the cute, funny little guy next door.

Unlike many comedians who come off hostile or bitter, Billy Crystal presents humor in a style that’s warm, friendly, human. The fullhouse crowd in Fisher Auditorium Monday night loved it.

He said he gets different reactions to his role as the television show “Soap’s” Jodie, a homosexual in the various cities he visits. In Los Angeles they stare at him a lot, he said.

When getting off the plane at the airport in Pittsburgh, he said someone he heard yelled, “Hey fairy!”

Crystal started his performance with a takeoff on the cancellation of the Stephen Stills concert. With the curtain still closed, he carried on an “argument” with his agent about appearing at IUP. “But Billy, there’s a nuclear disaster 200 miles from here. Stephen Stills wouldn’t do it.”

Crystal expressed disgust with Stills’s cancellation, coming onstage in gas mask, much to the de-

light of his audience.

And it was his audience. From the beginning, they were right with him on every joke. Laughing, clapping. A couple skits with audience participation heightened the interaction between performer and audience.

“Want to do something together?” he asked. He then yelled backstage, “Get out the Wesson oil.”

Crystal knows audiences well.

Monday night’s performance was interspersed with drug jokes, always a sure-to-please subject on a college campus.

He said when it snowed in California a few weeks ago, a halfinch of white powder covered the ground. “Everyone went out and snorted their driveway.”

In another cocaine joke, Crystal said, “The Dodgers have ‘Drug Day’ – the fans come out and snort the foul lines.”

He also confessed that he could never roll joints. “They came out looking like chocolate kisses.”

Television was another of the comic’s favorite topics. This included takeoffs on “Bowling for Dollars” and “Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood.” The Roger’s gag was similar, but not so graphic as the

Billy Crystal performed in Fisher Auditorium on April 2, 1979.

Hazel’s Neighbors skit in which the children’s show host undresses. In describing Rogers, Crystal said, “The man is human quaalude.”

Funny as Crystal’s jokes were, no transcriptions to print can possibly do them justice. It was his facial expressions and hand and

body motions which made the performance truly memorable.

In one sequence, he portrayed a silent home movie. The lights dimmed.

He warned his audience that he had taken the movie a long time ago, and it was jumpy.

Suddenly, Crystal was a man

barbequeing for a family outing and hamming it up for the camera.

You could almost see where the picture was a little too large for the screen. It even looked slightly out of focus. Crystal’s face was an invaluable prop. It was a lizard, Idi Amin, an aging jazz musician. It contorted, it widened, it lit up.

Perhaps the most unique aspect of Crystal’s performance was his ability to be touching as well as funny.

This was particularly evident in a skit about Mohammed Ali, and one about his reunion with an old musician who had befriended him as a child.

He traced Ali’s career, doing passible impressions of Ali and Howard Cosell. While humorous, the skit also captured Ali’s characteristics as a changing, feeling human being.

But, as Crystal said, “What can I say about Ali that he hasn’t already said himself?” After the show, Crystal said everything he does is out of real life, and it shows.

He’s a real human being who as the talent to take it in everyday events, see the humor in them and then present them in a very warm, feeling way.

’78: ‘Animal House’ sets scene for some good, dirty fun

By G.K. ROBERTS Sept. 6, 1978 – With all the grace and dignity of a good belch after a frothy slug of Schmidt’s draft, ‘National Lampoon’s Animal House’ entertains at the expense of taste, virtue and fairplay, giving us a version of college fraternity life that prompts us to recall an uncontrolled zoo of alcoholic lechers instead of the fine upstanding young men of tomorrow who populate

(imdb.com)

‘Animal House’ opened in theaters June 1, 1978.

those hallowed halls of brotherhood.

The setting is Faber College, 1962, at Delta Tau Chi fraternity, also known as the “Animal House.”

Here we find an infamous collection of humanity that has the Faber administration and a rival respectable frat on the run and frustrated.

The storyline weaves this frustration with the introduction of and subsequent fratty hijinks of the animals at Delta.

Foremost among the fratboys is the uninhibited alcoholic sex maniac, Bluto, played by Saturday Night Live’s John Belushi.

And Belushi’s performance is fabulously disgusting as he crams whole hoagies into his mouth, crushes beer cans on his forehead, downs fifths of Jack Daniels without batting an eye, and peers into a sorority girl’s windows at night.

He is in top form doing the type of humor he does best, and carrying it off brilliantly.

Other assorted frat types, played by unknowns, include the inevitable make-out artist, the biker freak, the idiot fat guy, the virgin pledge, the hick, and the regular who is having an affair with the regular sweet girl.

Noted cast members who portray the older participants in campus affairs include Donald Sutherland, John Vernon, Verna Bloom, and Cesare Danova. And the superb sardonic score is by Elmer Bernstein.

’04: Epic makes it big on the big screen

By BRANDON HUGHES

(The Lord of the Rings Facebook)

‘The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King’ premiered Dec. 17, 2003.

Jan. 12, 2004 – It was one of the biggest gambles in movie history. A studio that needed a hit gave nearly $300 million to a relatively unproven director to bring one of the biggest epics ever written to the big screen.

For nearly three years fans waited, scrutinizing every detail they could get about the movies. The release of the first film trilogy, “The Fellowship of the Ring,” generated almost unanimous praise from fans of the novel and casual moviegoers alike, a feat matched a year later by the second installment, “The Two Towers.”

Only one question remained. Would the trilogy end on a high note or falter in its final hour as other trilogies have in the past?

To answer the question as simply as possible, “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King” may well be the best film of the trilogy. It succeeds in the same areas as its predecessors and yet goes the extra mile to keep fans waiting with baited breath until the grand moment when good ultimately triumphs over evil.

Picking up almost exactly where “The Two Towers” left off, “Return of the King follows hobbits Frodo Baggins (Elijah Wood) and Sam Gamgee (Sean Astin) as they continue on their march to Mordor to destroy the One Ring in the fires of Mount Doom, while the other surviving members of the fellowship (Aragorn, Gimli, Legolas, etc.) recover from the battle of Helms Deep and prepare for the impending final battle with the forces of the evil wizard Sauron.

Though some may balk at the film’s nearly three-and-a-half-hour running time, director/cowriter Peter Jackson seems to have taken great care to make every second of that time count.

Unlike its predecessors, which many criticized for dragging in their middle moments, “The Return of the King” is such a tightly woven tapestry that never bores the audience or loses attention for a moment. Each sword thrust, each fleeting glance and each noble speech is a necessary nuance that allows the film to build like a tumbling snowball, from its opening frame to its exhilarating climax at the gates of Mordor.

The film’s visuals are absolutely stunning.

The film’s reported 1,500 digital effects shots are almost seamless among the real actors and landscapes. Goblins, orcs, fell beasts and the giant spider all blend perfectly among director of photography Andrew Lesnie’s wonderfully crisp cinematography, often times causing us to wonder where reality ends and the product of a computer begins.

The most notable aspect about the visuals, though, is they exist to serve

the story, not supplement it. Each digitally created character and beautifully filmed landscape ties together, never standing out or appearing simply for the sake of looking interesting.

The acting in the films is also, once again, particularly noteworthy. Viggo Mortenson gives a wonderful performance as Aragorn. Throughout the course of the film, the depth and dichotomy of his character constantly emerge, as he grows from a ranger into the man who would be king.

Similarly, Sir Ian McKellen stands out as the wise and ethereal wizard Gandolf. Now shed of the trappings of his status as the Gray Wizard, McKellen strides through the film conveying a confidence and breadth of knowledge that fills each of his scenes and makes his character’s multiple speeches seem as eloquent as a Shakespearean soliloquy.

However, the film is not without its share of flaws. As in the book, the film continues even after the goals of the heroes have been achieved. While this creates a nice sense of completeness to the world of the film, it may cause some audience members to shift in their seat, eagerly awaiting the final credits.

Also, fans of the novels may be disappointed, as several key scenes have either been significantly altered or erased altogether.

Overall, the film is excellent. It may well be the fastest three-and-a-halfhours a viewer can spend in the theater. To miss this film may well be to miss one of the best movies to be released in years.

’71: Beach Boys make audience happy The group rocks the Memorial Field House with their hits; unites crowd of over 2,700

By GREG HARRIS Staff Writer

Nov. 15, 1971 – Thursday night a capacity crowd filled the gymnasium of the Memorial Field House to watch the Beach Boys in concert. Only about 1,900 tickets were sold prior to the concert so the crowd of over 2,700 came as somewhat of a pleasant surprise to the Student Union Board.

The crowd began to form one hour early; the Beach Boys arrived one hour late. The doors opened an hour late, which resulted in pushings and

shoving and various minor incidents, one of which the Beach Boys scolded the audience for. When the group did finally come on, all evidence of the inconvenience of waiting had vanished.

The Beach Boys were met with a spirited audience which was in no way to lessen before the evening let out.

About fourteen musicians performed on the bill, only four of them were official Beach Boys: Mike Love, Carl Wilson, Al Jardine and Bruce Johnston. Brian Wilson does not tour with the Beach Boys and Dennis Wilson is having personnal difficulties.

The back-up musicians performed on two drum sets, organ and piano, moog-synthesizer, electric bass and guitar, and saxophones and various brass instruments.

The Beach Boys performed a total of twenty-five numbers from every period in their ten year career. Every era from “Surfin’ USA” to “Surf’s Up” was touched upon and each received thunderous applause. Outside of a sax solo there was no attempt to show-off the talent of the musicians. But that is not to say the musicianship was poor.

Each musician could have held his

own; the group merely wished to play as a whole.

And after all, the Beach Boys are famous for unity. The harmony could not, of course, have been as clean as on their records but, all things considered, the effect came across well.

It seems rather ironical that although many students had been saying they did not want to see the concert because they did not like ‘Surfin’ Music’, it was the old songs which received most of the applause. The old songs, although once a serious expression of their time, created a light and

nonchalant mood which captivated the audience.

The humor of the songs (and the concert itself) was increased by the comical gestures of Beach Boy Mike Love. The concert, in a word, was happy.

If the Beach Boys failed to do anything else they made the audience happy. Many groups try to achieve audience participation by asking the audience to clap along side the beat; the Beach Boys did not have to ask.

Songs like “Student Demonstration Time”, “Surfin’ USA” and “Okie from Muskogee” received standing ovations even though they were in the middle of the program.

The Boys were called out to do two encores (a Beach Boys concert tradition) inwhich they did a total of five numbers. Included among them were “Get Around”, “Help Me Rhonda”, and “Fun, Fun, Fun” which literally drove some students up the wall. Those students on the gym floor remained standing during the last five numbers, all the while clapping and cheering.

Those sitting in the bleachers rocking in time with the music. Smiles were beaming from every direction which seems to indicate the concert was somewhat of a success.

’93: Indians lose championship heartbreaker

By JOHN “GUS” GWOREK Sports Editor

Dec. 13, 1993 – It was so different, yet so similar.

For the second time in four years, IUP lost the national football championship.

But the 41-34 heartbreaker at the hands of North Alabama Saturday couldn’t have been more different from the 51-11 loss at the hands of North Dakota State in 1990.

“There’s no comparison,” IUP coach Frank Cignetti said. “In 1990, we got blown out. Today, we had a legitimate shot at the national championship and didn’t get it done.”

It certainly wasn’t for a lack of effort.

The Indians battled back from a 14-3 first-half deficit to lead 24-14 after three quarters, only to trail 34-24 with 3:17 left.

But IUP tied the game on a 34-yard Mike Geary field goal with just 45 seconds remaining.

It was too much time. North Alabama quarterback Cody Gross hit Demetrea Shelton for 38 yards down to the IUP 1 with 13 seconds left and scored on a sneak on the next play to claim the championship for the Lions.

“I wasn’t sure if we’d play for overtime for what,” Gross said. “But then coach told me were going to go for it. Demetrea made a great catch.”

“I figured they were going to try to get a field goal,” said IUP linebacker Lewis Choice, who finished with 11 tackles. “I figured they would bring out the pass, and that’s why they did. The coverage was there, we just had to make a play on the ball.”

“It was single coverage all the way,” Cignetti said. “We knew that we would have some match-up problems out there because we lost our best corner, Harold Brister, to an injury the last game of our regular season. “(John Stuart) did the best he could.

But there’s a lot of pressure put on that corner when you involve the free safety in the running game like you have to do to handle that option.”

Three minutes earlier, it didn’t look like UNA would have to do anything in the final seconds except celebrate. Down 24-14 with 12 minutes left, the Lions

Sports

scored three times in eight minutes to lead 34-24. It all started when Israel Raybon blocked a John McGee punt for UNA and recovered at the IUP 28. Three plays later, Gross hit Shelton for a touchdown.

Though the snap on the extra point was bobbled, UNA was back in the game at 24-20.

The big play in the game may have been made the play before the blocked punt. With IUP facing a third-and-one, the Indians went away from their usual short yardage package with at least one fullback in the game. Instead, they went with two tight ends and tried to run Mann off left tackle. He was stopped short, and IUP was forced to punt.

“If I had one play I’d change, it’d be that third and one in that situation,” Cignetti said. “But that didn’t cost us the ballgame. Our punt team still has to punt the ball out there.

“Up until that time, I thought we had excellent control of the game, our defense was playing very well … the punt was a big momentum changer. That gave them life.”

UNA coach Bobby Wallace agreed.

“The turning point in that football game belonged to Israel Raybon,” Wallace said. “just a big, big play. They had all the momentum in the world, and that changed it around.”

In a hurry. Still up by four, IUP faced a third and 10 at its own 23. Quarterback Scott Woods hit Derrick Smith over the middle, but he was tackled immediately after an 8-yard gain and IUP was forced to punt again.

Then Brian Satterfield took over. The UNA fullback gained 180 yards on 23 carries. After Gross hit Michael Edwards for 41 yards to the IUP seven, Satterfield scored on the next play to give UNA the lead again, 27-24.

After UNA linebacker Ronald McKinnon, who had 17 tackles on the day, stopped Mann for no gain on a thirddown swing pass, Satterfield was at it again. He carried four times for 42 yards on the drive, including the 20-yard touchdown that seemed to be the last nail in IUP’s coffin. With just 3:17 left to play, the Indians trailed, 34-24.

Woods, who bounced back from two

first-quarter interception to throw three touchdowns, completed five of eight passes for 69 yards before Mann dived over from a yard out to pull IUP IUP within three with 1:54 left.

“The interceptions didn’t bother me at all,” Woods said. “I knew that once I got going, it would be hard to stop me. I should thrown the balls earlier than I did, and I didn’t, and there’s no excuses.

“I have confidence in our offense. We can score at any time, and you’ll never find IUP quit.”

Linebacker Jack Creech recovered the on-side kick, and IUP was in business at the UNA 49. After an incompletion, Woods hit Mario Harrison on a 31-yard gain to the Lions’ 18. After two incompletions, Woods had to scramble for no gain, and Geary had to kick his 34-yarder into a stiff wind. But the reliable senior came through again, apparently sending the game into the first overtime in its 22-year history. But the next 45 seconds turned out to be the Indians’ undoing.

“I felt good about our chances in overtime with our kicker,” Cignetti said. “Unfortunately, they make the great play and they win the game.”

Early on, overtime was not even a thought as it looked like IUP was headed for another blowout. After Woods was intercepted by Robert Haynes on the game’s opening drive, UNA took a 7-0 lead when Shelton dropped the snap on a 22-yard field goal attempt but picked it up and ran to the right corner of the end zone for the score.

Woods was intercepted again by Haynes on the ensuing drive, but the Indian defense held and the first quarter ended 7-0 UNA. Mann carried five times for 53 yards on the next drive to set up a 22-yard Geary field goal. On the drive, Mann went over the 2,000 yard mark on the season. He would finish with 109 yards on 25 carries on the day, 9- of the yards in the first half.

The Lions answered right back, driving 80 yards in 12 plays to stretch the lead to 14-3.

Gross hit Shelton for two big plays on the drive, first for 28 yards to the IUP 26, then for eight on fourth and three from the 19. Tyrone Rush scored from seven

But Woods, who at this point was two for seven with two picks, bounced back to lead IUP on a 10-play, 71-yard drive, capping it with a 9-yard scoring toss to Scott McClellan. On the drive, Woods was three of four for 43 yards.

When Jamie Stoddard missed a 37yard field goal at the end of the half, IUP trailed just 14-10 at the break despite not playing its best football.

“In the first half we made mistakes,” Cignetti said. “I thought in the third quarter we played great football.”

After forcing UNA to punt on the opening drive of the second half, IUP went 84 yards in 11 plays to take its first lead on a 2-yard pass from Woods kept things rolling on the drive by completing two third-down passes. First he hit JeMone Smith for 8 yards on third and three. Then Woods found Derrick Smith

for 51 yon a third and seven to the UNA four. On a crossing pattern, Smith broke a tackle and got a block from Check Wyatt to spring him. Three plays later, IUP led, 17-14.

After the teams traded punts, IUP capitalized on a rare UNA mistake. Linebacker Omar Stewart fell on an errant pitch from Gross to Rush at the UNA 28. Two plays later, Woods hit tight end Theo Turner down the middle for a 24yard touchdown with just 42 seconds left in the quarter. IUP led 24-14 when the third quarter ended, but the fun was just beginning.

The teams combined for five touchdowns, 37 points and 362 yards over the next 15 minutes.

The result was a another almost National Championship for IUP. The first game between two undefeated teams for the championship in Florence, Ala. lived up to its billing.

March 5, 1979 – The IUP fencing team split a meet with California State College recently, the women coming away victorious over the Vulcans, but the men losing 10-6.

Nancy Barthelemy’s team reversed its previous performances against the Vulcans with the results. With the win the women now have a record of 1-4 and the men are at 3-3.

Linda Eisenhard, a senior from Ivyland, recorded the key victory in the match, according to Barthelemy. Eisehnhard downed one of Cal State’s top fencers.

“It was her victory that enabled us to win the match,” Barthelemy said.

The men’s team didn’t fare as well though, as they lost a close match to a team they had beaten before.

The next meet for the women will be Thursday when they will host a team from Penn State.

The Lions fencers are ranked

number two nationally and will provide a formidable foe. The men will return to action next Tuesday, the 13th, at home against the fencers of Carnegie Mellon University.

Both matches will be held in Zink Hall and are open to the public.

Top gun for Indiana was Bob Doverspike with a 277, showing that he maybe recovering from his slump.

Also in for Indiana was Cal Roberts with a 264 in second, Mike Kozusko 258 in third, Pat Roberts 258 in fourth, and Bruce Bush 256 in fifth.

Although this was the second lowest scoring performance of the season for the Big Indians, it would still gave been enough to defeat any IUP opponent this year with the exception of

W.V.U. The bad omen is that the shooters face a potentially strong club in Grove City Monday this coming Friday night that could possibly defeat the campisano gang if they come through with a poor performance again.

Also on ticket for Friday at Grove City is Geneva College a weak club that should be handled without difficulty. The Big Indians now stand 6-0 in league and 7-1 overall.

’71: Marksmen gun it past CMU

By HAL GARLCIK

Dec. 8, 1971 – The marksmen once again showed their supremecy in the W.P.I.R.L. by downing the Carnegie Mellon shooters last Friday in a match here.

Although it was one of the lowest scoring performances of the season for Coach Campisano’s gang, the shooters still had no difficulty downing the Pittsburgh school.

Feb. 14, 1972 – Indiana’s wrestling team won its second straight victory with a 31-9 cleaning of Grove City Saturday afternoon at the Fieldhouse.

There were several particularly strong wins. If the grapplers can take their final three meets, they will end 9-4 in dual competition, one of the best marks in IUP mat history.

Jan Cocchiara has been out with a knee injury; therefore, he could not walk onto the mat and get six points for the visitors’ forfeit at 118. (Their man couldn’t make weight. Scott Newhouse was prepared to go for the Big Indians.)

At 126, Tom Delong and Randy Malcolm stayed scoreless until the third period. Then Delong awoke, picked up four points on a reversal and predicament, one for riding time, and the match. Jake Wood, 134, also had a scoreless period, but went ahead in the second on a predicament. Grover Jim Van Kirk got one for an escape, but Wood’s four in the third and riding time gave him the decision easily.

Indiana’s lead ran to 12, never to be relinquished.

Apparently figuring it was time to get back into things, Grove City’s Dave Cox pinned Jake Sykes at 7:48 of the 142 bout. They were tied 2-2. Onefifty Murray Neeper got three of the points back beating Gene Brown, 7-5.

The points disappeared again as Kevin McGorry, 158, had definite problems with visitor Jim Cullison,

who prevailed 7-2. Interestingly enough, Cullison did not have riding time, but he had some moves. But, that was the final match in which Grove City was to see points.

At 167, Ken Kline stayed just ahead 2-1 until the final period, then moved out for three plus riding time to win solidly over Mike Weeber.

The 177 bout had all the elements, we hesitate to suggest, of a blerch.

Tom Schweinberg for Indiana, Jeff Weinel for the Grovers, nothing scored in the first or last periods. But in the second, Weinel chose “up” referee’s position.

It probably was a mistake, because Schweinberg went bananas, first escaping, then scoring, in this order, a takedown, a tearful, another takedown after Jeff nearly escaped, and a predicament for 10 points. Adding three-plus minutes of riding time gave IUP an 11-1, four point win.

The 190 bout was anticlimactic.

Tom Rogish never is, of course, but there were some more of the oddball official rulings that have hurt Indiana this year, and he trailed 2-0 entering the middle period. However, Rogish passed opponent Cliff Jobe with a takedown and predicament and held on to win 8-5.

Dave Plance, showing definite improvement as he gains experience, ended the meet on a fitting note. His heavyweight bout consisted of going out and pinning Bob in 56 whole seconds.

The next test is at California on Wednesday.

’78: Haslett seeks pro career

May 11, 1979 – A collision is coming as an IUP player tries to score. The women’s softball team wrapped up their season yesterday by splitting a doubleheader with visiting Edinboro.

The Tribe won the first 3-1, but lost by the ten-run rule in the second.

(IUP Athletics)

March 16, 2010 – The IUP men’s basketball team gathered for a picture following its 84-72 victory over West Liberty University to advance to win the NCAA Atlantic Region and advance to the Elite 8.

Sept. 22, 1978 – Another name has been added to the list of prestigious IUP football players.

That name is Jim Haslett, the perennial All-Everything out of Avalon High School in Pittsburgh.

After this season, the Haslett Era will be over here in Indiana.

Chances look favorable, however, that his playing days will continue in the Big Time—the National Football League.

IUP head coach Bill Neal expressed his opinion on Haslett’s draft possibility: ‘I think Jim’s a fine enough athlete to be drafted in the first five rounds.”

To begin with, Haslett stands 6’4” tall and weighs in at 225.

Coupling those stats with his 4.65 speed in the 40, it’s not hard to see THE SPORTING NEWS magazine last year listed him as a top prospect.

Coach Neal refers to him as “probably one of the finest athletes that I have ever been associated with. He’s extremely strong— he bench presses almost 400lbs., yet he’s probably more flexible

than any 150 or 160 lb. athlete.”

A six-time All-American, Haslett modestly evaluates his pro football possibilities: “I just hope I get the chance.”

Why would a player of Haslett’s caliber enroll at a small school like IUP? Haslett was a mere 6’2”, 180lbs. during his All-WPIAL high school days, playing quarterback and safety.

Jim noted that the only pressure that has affected him thus far has been “the pressure for us to win—especially with all the freshmen coming up.” As for the pressure from the scouts, his answer is, “I just try to ignore it.”
