Students and volunteers unloaded piles of books out of truck beds for the 47th annual Newman Used Book Sale, which will take place at St. Thomas More University Parish and Catholic Student Center Friday through Sunday.

All of the books sold have been contributed by members of the Indiana community, according to a brochure for the event. Each book is screened for damage as it is received.

Janet May, co-chair of the book sale and secretary of Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Eberly College of Business and Information Technology, talked about the groups who were helping and the sales that will be going on during the event.

“Right now, we have the freshmen football players, the girl’s lacrosse team, we’ve had some cross country players,” May said.

“And just some general students, honors college students, most of the kids who need to do volunteer service hours.”

The proceeds from the sale help support programs and services provided by St. Thomas More University Parish.

The donations begin every January, and volunteering to sort for the next year’s annual sale begins in early spring.

“We’re figuring we have about 120,000 books; it is equivalent to about 2,000 boxes,” May said.

Throughout the weekend of the book sale, there are discounts for college students who use their I-Cards; they will receive $1 off for every $10 worth of books bought.

There is also a coupon attached to tote bags being sold throughout the weekend as well.

“We started selling tote bags about five years ago,” May said.

“We sell the bags for $6 throughout the sale, and on Sunday when you come back with your bag – there’s a coupon on it – you get as many books as you can get into that tote bag for free.”

There will also be refreshments throughout the entirety of the book sale provided by the Catholic Student Association.

With 100-plus families involved in this annual event, it is clear that the Indiana community waits for this third weekend in September, according to May. Over the years, people have lined up as early as 8 a.m. Friday to secure their chances of finding the best books first, according to the event brochure.

The Newman Used Book Sale will be from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday, 9 a.m. to 7 a.m. on Saturday and 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday.

RAINN Day returns to Oak Grove

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

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania Haven Project is hosting RAINN Day, an annual awareness campaign in regards to anti-sexual assault, Thursday in the Oak Grove.

IUP’s Haven Project works to hold this annual event in conjunction with other universities across the United States.

One way the organization raises awareness is by encouraging universities like IUP to annually host RAINN Day events on the third Thursday of September.

The Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network (RAINN) is a national nonprofit organization that works to both raise awareness and prevent sexual violence while also helping survivors and victims.

RAINN Day is all about showing support for survivors and educating the public on what constitutes sexual vio-

lence and what they can do to stop it from happening.

The day is about spreading the word that sexual assault does not belong anywhere, especially not on college campuses.

The Haven Project will be putting on events on both Wednesday and Thursday.

On Wednesday, students can come to the Oak Grove at 6 p.m. to Chalk the Walk, where they are encouraged to leave positive messages about hope and healing for students to see.

The Haven Project will have displays set up in the Oak Grove for students to check out as they pass through on Thursday.

It will include a variety of different awareness campaigns, including informational tables and umbrellas scattered throughout the Oak Grove.

The umbrellas are submitted by students, faculty, organizations and other groups.

Each umbrella will be decorated with

different messages or pictures to serve as signs of hope and encouragement for those trying to overcome sexual assault.

They will be set up throughout the Oak Grove all day on Thursday, so students can check them out at their leisure.

Vice President for Student Affairs Malinda Levis is in charge of RAINN Day, and she explained why students should stop by to check out RAINN Day. “It is an opportunity to see messages from other students, show support for survivors, become educated by participating and learn more about sexual violence,” Levis said.

“It is also an opportunity to speak out against sexual violence.”

Levis also encouraged students to use campus resources to seek help if they need it. Students can reach the Haven Project at 724-357-3947, the Counseling Center at 724-357-2621 or the 24/7 support hotline at the Alice Paul House at 724-349-4444.

More claims of sexual assault come to light

By AILEY CLARK New Media Editor A.M.Clark7@iup.edu

Following the arrest of a man in an alleged rape case at Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Sigma Chi fraternity house, two more incidents have been reported on the university’s main campus, as well as another on its Punxsutawney campus.

In a Sept. 1 news release, IUP University Police reported a completed investigation of an alleged rape by forcible

compulsion at approximately 6 a.m.

Aug. 31 in a room in the Punxsutawney Living Center.

The victim has elected to press charges, according to the release.

A news release from Sept. 10 shows university police documented an investigation on allegations from a female of an incident that occurred at approximately 2 a.m. Aug. 30 in Stephenson Hall.

According to the release, the survivor reported being raped and sexually as-

For over 21 years;

saulted by a man she had just met.

A separate Sept. 10 news release documents allegations of a Sept. 7 rape and sexual assault in Suites on Pratt.

The survivor reported being sexually assaulted in the early morning hours while staying as a guest in the residence hall.

Pending results of the investigation, charges will be filed.

According to the Pittsburgh TribuneReview, IUP spokeswoman Michelle Fryling declined to say whether or not the suspects in the current allegations are students, but hopes that if any students have been assaulted in this manner, they will feel encouraged to come forward in order to seek the help and support they may need.

Folk Festival features live music and vendors

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

The third Northern Appalachian Folk Festival, held Friday and Saturday, featured food and business vendors, visual art, workshops, children’s activities and live performances from various bands, including Rusted Root.

According to the Northern Appalachian Folk Festival website, its mission is to preserve the past, promote the present and secure the future through a variety of music, art, folkways and other forms of cultural expression.

Two blocks of Philadelphia Street in downtown Indiana were blocked off on Friday and Saturday for the festivities, and a stage was set up in the middle of the street, where performances occurred all day long.

Indiana residents, students and even people from Eastern Pennsylvania came to celebrate by listening to music, dancing and exploring the many businesses that were tented along the street.

“I decided to read the Beak [IUP’s email newsletter] one day,” said Indiana University of Pennsylvania student Kathryn Dinsmore (junior, speech pathology), “and I saw the folk festival was mentioned, so we decided to give it a try, and it’s actually really cool.”

More than 20 different organizations and vendors were set up along Philadelphia Street, including a funnel cake stand, Andy’s Own Maple Syrup, CWS Design Studio and a stand offering free massages.

Sugar Magnolia Merchandise was set up at the festival as well.

“It’s always cool to set up at different places,” said Billie-Jo Miller, owner of the company.

“We don’t have a shop – we only sell through vending – and my friend was on the planning committee, so we were more than happy to come,” she said.

Many restaurants around the 500 and 600 blocks of Philadelphia Street were involved in some way during the weekend, hosting workshops or contests.

On Saturday, The Coventry Inn hosted a workshop conducted by Kostas Skordas, director of the division of regional planning and research of the Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC), which provided an overview of the “Economic Progress and Challenges in the Appalachian Region Since 1965.”

Spaghetti Benders also hosted a workshop at 11 a.m. Friday, where Cindy Rogers discussed gardening, and then again at 2 p.m., where Chere Winnek-Shawer demonstrated a jewelry and weaving instruction.

In addition to the food and live music, the festival featured a Storytelling and Liars Contest on Saturday at The Coney Island restaurant.

Storytelling is extremely popular at folk festivals. Most stories focus on humor or the supernatural, and they are typically based upon historical events, legends, folklore or personal experiences.

The stories were judged by a threeperson panel who scored the contestants on technique delivery, confidence, general stagecraft, story development, originality and effectiveness, according to an article on IUP’s website.

The categories were judged on a scale of 1-5, with 20 being the maximum amount of points a contestant could receive. The judges deliberated at the end, and the winner received $100.

Even people who did not necessarily get to attend the festival still had an enjoyable time working in the area.

A Bob’s Sub employee, Claire Matta, said her Friday night shift was much different due to the festival.

“It definitely made the day more interesting,” she said. “From where I was working, I could see a lady hula-hooping with it lit on fire, that was pretty cool. I got to see a lot of people walking around, and I could hear the live music, too.”

The rain on Saturday did not stop the performers or attendees. Coastal Remedy, a music group including IUP students, headlined Saturday night for Rusted Root.

“We headlined the very first Northern Appalachian Folk Festival two years ago,” said Coastal Remedy bass player Matt Snyder (junior, communications media).

“Since then, it has improved drastically, with a nicer stage and more vendors selling food, art and various products and services.

“It was a fun evening both years that we performed.”

Some other performers were Chris Higbee, Bastard Bearded Irishmen, Unknown String Band, and local bands Wolves In Sheep’s Clothing, Melville Walbeck and Grist For The Mill.

IUP celebrates Constitution Day Culinary alumnus to

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

Constitution Day is a holiday that was founded in 2004 by Sen. Robert Byrd of Pennsylvania. Within the document that declared Constitution Day a national holiday, there are provisions that require every learning institute that receives federal funding to educate students about the Constitution.

Indiana University of Pennsylvania has celebrated Constitution Day for the past nine years. This year, IUP celebrated by not only holding a reading of the Constitution, but also by having an open forum in which professors became personas of the founding fathers and answered questions true to the founding fathers’ beliefs.

On Monday, the Constitution reading was held outside of the Stapleton Library at noon.

The Six O’Clock Series for Constitution Day was held at 6 p.m. in the Hadley Union Building Ohio Room and was titled “What Did They Originally Intend? Sit In on a Casual Conversation with the Framers of the U.S. Constitution.”

The event had the founders seated on

the stage and about two dozen rows of seats lining the auditorium. Professors from the political science department cosplayed as Charles Pinckney, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison.

Brianna Drylie, the assistant director for student life/program coordination, communication and assessment and director of the Six O’Clock Series, said that “many students come to see their teachers perform.”

Gwendolyn Torges, an assistant professor of political science, led the forum and asked some questions to the founders. One of the first questions Torges asked was: “Do clerks have the right to deny marriage licenses to same-sex couples given that there has been a federal mandate of marriage equality?”

The founders were in full agreement that the law did come before the clerk’s beliefs and that, since the clerk was elected to a public position, she was required to carry out the law.

The participants in the open forum also focused on the Constitution and provided an abundance of information about the Constitution and the situation surrounding it.

There was much disagreement regarding the key articles to be included

in the document, and some provinces, such as Rhode Island, did not want to partake in creating a constitution at all.

In fact, Rhode Island was forced to sign the Constitution after struggling against its ratification for years.

The representatives were also not afraid to voice their discontent about the finalized Constitution. Madison, for example, wanted a much more robust constitution than what was agreed upon among the provinces.

Haleigh Hayes (sophomore, philosophy) asked, “What do you say to people who want to send a message rebelliously as opposed to diplomatically?”

The representatives concluded that many of them looked to the French Revolution for guidance as to why many rebellions had to be controlled by the government.

The French Revolution led to bloodshed due to civil conflicts, which is what the founders sought to avoid.

On the importance of students learning about the Constitution, Torges said, “I am really interested that they be familiar with the Constitution, because if we’re trying to make decisions about who to elect and what kind of policies we want, it only makes sense if we know the framework that works with it.”

compete in Ment’or Young Chef Competition

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

Ever since he was in elementary school, Indiana University of Pennsylvania alumnus Ryan Peters has possessed a passion for the culinary arts.

With the dream of opening his own restaurant, Peters chose IUP to prepare for a career as a successful chef in the culinary field.

“IUP has a prestigious culinary program with a great percentage of alumni at some of the best restaurants and resorts in the country,” Peters said. “Let’s just say it was an easy decision.”

Peters has used his culinary skills in many jobs throughout his time working in the food service industry. These jobs ranged from a catering company to a Five Guys restaurant. He even worked in the cafeteria with Aramark during his time at the university.

Now he is putting his skills to the test in the 2015 Ment’or Young Chef Competition.

Ment’or, a leading nonprofit organization devoted to inspiring culinary excellence in young professionals, is hosting its second Young Chef Competition series.

The competitions are being held in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York City and Houston.

Each city is assigned a protein that they must incorporate in their recipe for the judges.

Peters is competing in Chicago on Thursday and was assigned the protein of Eye of Ribeye.

“I won’t tell you all the details of my dish just yet, but it definitely is very colorful, earthy and pretty delicious.”

The chefs will present their dishes to a panel of chefs from the Foundation’s Culinary Council. They will judge on taste, presentation and kitchen organization.

The Young Chef Competition could be a tough one to compete in, since Peters is one of 16 finalists selected nationwide to participate.

Applicants are required to be between the ages 22-27 and must have a minimum of three years working experience. They must submit their resume,

two letters of recommendation from their employer photographs of their culinary work, according to the IUP press release.

They are also required to submit an essay discussing why they entered the competition and what they plan to do with the prize money.

Peters was inspired to enter the competition after working an event at the Ocean Reef Club in Key Largo, Fla. “Certified Master Chef Richard Rosendale was here doing a private dinner for some members with his assistance,” Peters said.

“After being able to work alongside these three chefs and listening to their stories, I was motivated and ready to try my hand at competing.”

Participants will be competing for the $10,000 top prize. Second-place winners will receive a $5,000 prize.

Winners may use the money they make toward a stage, which is where chefs work for free in a restaurant simply to gain experience in the culinary field.

“If I win, I plan to use the money toward a stage, essentially meaning I work for free at a restaurant for experience,” Peters said. “I would love to stage at chef Curtis Duffy’s ‘Grace’ in Chicago.”

Peters is excited for the opportunity to participate in a competition sponsored by an organization he feels is significant for the lives of young chefs.

“When I got the phone call telling me I had been chosen as a finalist, I was truly in shock,” Peters said.

“I am truly honored to be a part of such a prestigious organization [the Ment’or BKB foundation] and competition.”

Peters was born and raised in Reading with his brother, step-brother and two step-sisters. He moved to Key Largo, Fla., to complete an externship at the Ocean Reef Club upon graduating from IUP but moved back to Pittsburgh temporarily to work a year at Salt of the Earth.

In October 2014, Peters moved back to Key Largo with his wife, Caroline.

Caroline is an IUP alumna who works in the baking pastry field. Both currently live and work in the culinary field in Florida.

IUP grad finds success in world of music and fashion

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

Indiana University of Pennsylvania alumnus and hip-hop artist Caleb Joyce has been traveling and performing while selling his clothing line, Team Loko Apparel.

“The message of Team Loko is to encourage the crazy,” said Joyce.

Joyce, who goes by the stage name “Dubby,” has had an interest in writing music since the fourth grade, and now, one year after graduating, Joyce has performed more than 50 shows all over the Northeast.

His freshman year of high school, Joyce started recording music professionally and started a few music groups with his friends.

The first group was titled LBC. Shortly afterward, Joyce began another group with two other hip-hop artists from home. They called their group Burg City in an effort to make their hometown of Gettysburg into a bigger name in the music industry.

“It was funny,” Joyce said. “When I first came to IUP, everyone assumed I was from Pittsburgh because of our group’s name.”

The band’s first gig was a Sweet 16 party at the Wyndham Gettysburg, where they performed two songs in front of a group of 30 people.

Now, Joyce opens for artists like Cam Meekins, Futuristic and Caskey.

Recently, he traveled to Cleveland and opened for Talib Kweli.

Joyce came to IUP majoring in communications media major to study audio production.

“I was really interested in learning the engineering side of music recording,” he said.

During Joyce’s time at IUP, he opened for artists such as Kid Ink, B.o.B and Tyga at IUP’s homecoming events.

During his sophomore year, Joyce was chosen to open for Big Sean at Slippery Rock University, which was one of the most memorable moments of his hiphop career.

“It was great when I found out I got to open for Big Sean,” he said. “So many people came out to support me.

It was one of the coolest experiences of my life.”

After doing multiple shows, Joyce realized that he wanted to create a clothing line to help expand his music career and fan base.

“We needed to figure out how to encompass our fan base and give them an identity.”

Similar to Wiz Khalifa’s fan base, known as Taylor Gang, and Mac Miller’s So Dope fan group, Joyce created Team Loko.

The clothing line’s logo was very simple when it started out as just artist merchandise, but Joyce and his team wanted to expand by making it a lifestyle apparel line, similar to brands like PacSun. “Just this past year, we switched logos and freshened up our style,” Joyce said.

Joyce’s team includes a plethora of different talent, such as the chief financial officer of the apparel line, Peter Bales, sales representative Nick Koser, Joyce’s management team, hip-hop artist and fellow IUP alumnus Cal Mobley, audio engineer Jason Shaffer, photographer Miles Sherman and a handful of freelance graphic designers.

Joyce’s manager, Justin Kreiser, spoke about Dubby’s talent as a hip-hop artist.

“About four years ago, my business partner at the time and I discovered Caleb online,” Kreiser said.

“We fell in love with his music, and thought he had potential to make a dent in the hip-hop music world. He had confidence, unique sound and passion for making music. This is something every manager wants from their artist.”

The team also expanded its clothing options by selling leggings, crop-tops, corduroy and suede snap-back hats and crewnecks.

“We really just wanted to make the clothing more official and to have people love the brand without even knowing they’re supporting the music,” Kreiser said.

On Aug. 30, Joyce’s team launched its website, teamlokoapparel.com, which includes an option to donate to its nonprofit organization partner, Bench Mark Program.

The program is based in Lancaster and was created by one of Joyce’s highschool friends. The program’s mission is to help at-risk youth stay off the streets and avoid crime by providing a safe haven where kids can weight lift and work on their academics.

“Bench Mark Program is also used as a getaway for the members, so if they find themselves in a bad situation, they can always come to the disclosed Bench Mark location,” Joyce said.

Rein in methane: The EPA rules are needed to cut greenhouse gases Pittsburgh Post-Gazette TNS The following editorial appeared in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, Thursday, Sept. 10: Coal producers recoiled last month after the Environmental Protection Agency announced rules that will reduce climate-warming carbon emissions over the next decade and lower the nation’s dependence on coal.

Now the oil and gas lobby is raising a fuss over the next critical component of the Obama administration’s climate change strategy: a plan that will reduce emissions of the greenhouse gas methane.

Methane accounts for the second-

Opinion

largest share of climate-warming emissions in the world after carbon but has 25 times its potency.

The new rules will reduce methane emissions by 20 to 30 percent by 2025, administration officials say, by requiring oil and natural gas producers to find and repair leaks from new or revamped wells.

These reductions will fit into the White House’s strategy of reducing methane pollution by 40 to 45 percent within the next decade.

The rules won’t affect existing drilling infrastructure, which environmental advocates say don’t go far enough.

Oil and gas producers have condemned the rules, claiming they’d be too costly, would kill jobs and would

inflate Americans’ energy costs.

The EPA estimates making the changes will cost energy producers about $420 million over 10 years but will generate up to $550 million in savings because of the reduction in methane losses.

In the coming months, the methane rules, along with the EPA’s rules on power plant emissions, will be challenged in protracted legal battles.

Energy lobbies’ short-term profit cannot come before America’s longterm economic and security interests.

In that regard, the industry cannot be trusted to govern itself.

Syrian refugees need refuge An estimated 9 million Syrians have fled their homes since the outbreak of the civil war in March 2011, according to syrianrefugees.eu. Many people did not know about the numerous events happening within Syria until lately.

It’s taken people and children washing up on the shores of Turkey, dead, to finally catch the world’s attention. Syrians are trying to escape in any way possible.

An estimated 3 million have fled to the neighboring countries from Syria, the website states. This includes Turkey, Lebanon, Jordan and Iraq. And about 6.5 million are displaced within Syria. Meanwhile, an estimated 150,000 Syrians have fled to the European Union. Member states have pledged to resettle approximately 33,000 Syrian refugees.

The Syrian refugee crisis is highlighting a distinct difference among countries: those that welcome migrants and those who don’t.

Germany is currently the most welcoming of the Syrian refugees. Monday, vice chancellor Sigmar Gabriel said that Germany may take in 1 million refugees this year, according to Al Jazeera. This is 200,000 more than they had previously estimated.

Meanwhile, the U.S. has accepted just 1,500 Syrian refugees so far, according to a Wednesday CNN article. But to many, this number is nowhere near enough.

“The International Rescue Committee called for the United States to open its doors to 65,000 Syrian refugees,” CNN said. “An online petition asking the U.S. government to do exactly that has garnered more than 54,000 signatures.”

But others show concern for lending a hand to the Middle Eastern refugees.

“We’d always be concerned that within the overwhelming number of the people seeking refugee, someone with a terrorist background could also sneak in,” Republican presidential candidate Marco Rubio said.

CNN’s article also noted that Rubio himself is the son of immigrants.

With the recent deaths of the Syrian refugee crisis, the world should be opening its eyes to see the terrible things happening all around us. Many people did not realize there was a civil war within Syria until the news was showing children washing up dead on the shores of Turkey.

This is too late to be realizing there is a problem. We all need to be taking part and helping as much as we can.

Delicate Membrane open in Kipp Gallery New exhibit, featuring work by DiCaprio and Concha, will run through Oct. 8

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

Delicate Membrane, an exhibit featuring the work of artists Daniel DiCaprio and Josefina Concha, opened Thursday in the Kipp Gallery located in Sprowls Hall.

The exhibit will run through Oct. 8.

Concha is a fiber artist from Chile, and DiCaprio sculpts and makes jewelry.

Concha’s work imitates painting through fabric. While there was not much variety in the color choices Concha made, it was the unique stitching

designs of every piece that made all of them different.

Because no two pieces were stitched the same, they each took on their own shape that allowed the viewer to be able to see a different story in every fabric and every stitch.

On the other hand, DiCaprio’s work was a mixture of sculptures and jewelry that ranged from a couple inches in size to a couple feet.

It was inspired by hair, body parts and different organism forms. He had some pieces that were indicative of arteries, while others reminded the viewer of organs or even bacteria.

Chris McGinnis, director of the gallery, explained how DiCaprio’s work was done on a micro level, while Concha’s fabrics were more macro level in scale.

Together, these two styles oscillate between two ends of a spectrum but they come together and complement each other taking the audience on a ride from the small to the large, according to McGinnis. Together, their pieces blended the natural and synthetic.

McGinnis expressed his excitement about the exhibit and why people should come see it.

“I’m excited to bring in a wide range

of different styles of works,” McGinnis said. “It’s exciting for me to highlight these different types of works.

“People should check out the exhibit because one of the artists is from Santiago, Chile, and [you can] never see her artwork again. It is an opportunity to see something unique and really high quality.”

Laura Scott (freshman, undeclared) discussed her thoughts on the exhibit and the artwork as well.

“It’s actually very unique,” Scott said.

“It is different from anything I’ve seen before. Art might not be your thing, but [visiting the gallery] could put you on

a journey to discover what you’re into.

Everything has its own message, and it just depends on how you see it.”

Hip-hop artist and IUP alumnus releases new music

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

Up-and-coming hip-hop artist and Indiana University of Pennsylvania alumnus Caleb Joyce, who goes by the stage name “Dubby,” has his sixth solo project, “Corpus Collosum,” available on SoundCloud under the name Dubby of Team Loko.

Team Loko is Joyce’s clothing apparel line that he’s been working on this past year with several partners. The message is to “Go Loko, or stay sane,” which is the tagline of the teamlokoapparel.com Joyce has been recording music pro-

fessionally since his freshman year of high school, and continued to further his interest in music when he came to IUP, opening for artists such as Kid Ink, B.o.B and Tyga at IUP’s homecoming concerts.

“Corpus Callosum” is the perfect mix that carefully balances chill and calm music with creative hip-hop beats.

Every song on the tape has a different producer, so each beat encompasses its own style that differentiates it from the rest.

Joyce has incorporated his songs with heavy rapping and a harmonious chorus hook, which is almost more catchy than

the verses, proving that Joyce can not only rap but sing as well.

For an up-and-coming hip-hop artist, his beats are original and creative.

Some of the slower songs can be compared to Post Malone’s “White Iverson.”

None of the songs run together or sound the same, which is nice when listening to an entire album at once.

The eight songs on the album are just enough to listen to on a 20-25 minute car ride, a walk to class or a run around the neighborhood.

“Vagabond,” the most listened-to song on the album, according to SoundCloud, is definitely the most different-

sounding beat out of the eight.

Instead of an electronic sound, the beginning is slower with guitar riffs, which is fitting because the lyrics follow an emotional and raw storyline.

The fourth song on the album, “24/7 Ft. Tay Marie,” takes a completely different approach with heavy rapping, a trippy beat and a different message.

Overall, his sound and music style is original and professional for an artist that is just one year out of college.

Because “Corpus Callosum” is more of a slower-sounding EP, his chorus hooks seem better than the rapping verses.

PBS hit drama ‘Downton Abbey’ returns for final season

By MARY SUKALA Staff Writer M.L.Sukala@iup.edu

Between gorgeous, glitzy costumes, emotional moments that strum the heartstrings and, of course, Violet’s famous “zingers,” there’s something for everyone in the award-winning British historical drama “Downton Abbey.”

The series returns for a sixth and final season, airing in America in January 2016.

Fans simply cannot wait to feast their eyes on the cast’s luxurious 1920s attire and to see what Julian Fellowes – the mastermind behind the show – has planned for the fictional English family that has captured the hearts of so many Americans.

Here are some sneak peeks into the new season’s happenings.

There are mild spoilers ahead.

The show follows an aristocratic British family from the years leading up to the first World War to about two decades before the start of the second, opening with the Grantham clan almost

Wet Ink

losing their beloved estate after the tragic Titanic death of the heir.

As the series goes on, the eldest daughter, Lady Mary, weds the new heir, Matthew Crawley.

The marriage secures their ownership of the estate and keeps it “in the family.”

Throughout its previous five seasons, “Downton Abbey” maintained an even-handed blend of humorous antics and serious, heart-warming – or heartwrenching – scenes that made those watching keep a hand on the tissue box.

This was partially due to the various romances – both forbidden and encouraged – that were peppered throughout the previous five seasons.

These last episodes will be no exception.

Hugh Bonneville, the actor behind the main man of Downton Abbey, Robert Lord Grantham, alluded to this in an interview with press in London, as he said, “Some faces that we met towards the end of the fifth season may or may not be coming over the horizon to break or make the hearts of Lady Mary and Lady Edith and people like that.”

On a more serious note, the hardships of Thomas Barrows, the closeted gay butler played by Rob James-Collier, may be at an all-time high.

Faced with the illegality of his own nature, Barrows may very well strike a chord with anyone in the LGBTQ community who is struggling with opposition and adversity.

The cast has hinted that there will be at least one funeral afflicting the Grantham/Crawley family.

Speculation suggests that it could be Barrows.

The trailer is ultimately a montage of farewells and heartfelt embraces that might leave even the strongest fans in tears, and ends with Carson closing the doors to Downton Abbey for what we may presume to be our last time.

With at least one funeral in the works for this season, the possibility of love for Lord Grantham’s girls, and the day-to-day excitement of the Roaring Twenties, there is much to anticipate for this season of Downton Abbey.

The season begins Jan. 3 at 9 p.m. on PBS Masterpiece Theater.

‘Triennial 2015:’ A special opportunity for art fanatics and IUP community

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

Triennial 2015 opened Saturday at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania with a reception that included an opportunity for guests to mingle with the artists.

Triennial 2015 is an event that happens every three years.

Recent original artwork by the different professors from the department of art is on display for members of the IUP community.

It will be open through Oct. 17.

Because each professor has a different medium or interest, there are a wide range of styles of pieces throughout the gallery.

The pieces are integrated throughout the museum so that it is all ties together.

A wide variety of mediums are used for the different selections that include digital print, wood, porcelain, silk, paint, steel, mixed media and even tarot cards.

Myron Tomb, president of the board

of directors for the university museum, addressed the crowd and welcomed them to the reception, along with dean of the College of Fine Arts, Michael Hood, and chair of the department,

sity,” Tomb said. “It is certainly a success [tonight].”

Gillham also wished the audience to “have an opportunity to quietly take in the message of each piece.”

Jen Blalock and Dan Sarver put the final touches on Triennial 2015.

Andrew Gillham.

Tomb told the audience how excited he was to see both Indiana residents and IUP students, faculty and staff all enjoying the exhibit.

“The museum was created to be a cross between the town and the univer-

In doing so, one had the chance to enjoy artwork from professors like Dr. Nathan Heuer, whose work specialized around architecture.

His work was minimalist, with nothing but the architecture drawn on large white canvases.

This drew the viewer’s attention to the buildings themselves, giving them to time think about how America today is filled with abandoned modern buildings regularly.

(Laura Krulikowski)

Other professors with notable artwork included Dr. Chris McGinnis, whose piece, “Plateau Excavation,” looked like a rock that just came out of the Earth’s crust, that is until one got close enough to see that it was actually made of paper.

Dr. Sharon Massey had jewelry on display that was made out of steel and paint.

One piece, titled “Brickwork Necklace,” was made to give off the appearance of being made of small pieces of brick.

Dr. Maura Keeney’s work was done on large scales and depicted plants and nature.

It was painted to appear as if one had zoomed in closely with a magnifying glass to the plant.

Other professors who had their artwork on display at the Triennial included Dr. Ivan Fortushniak, Dr. Tony DiMauro, Dr. B.A. Harrington, Dr. Susan Palmisano, Dr. Rhonda Yeager, Dr. Sean Derry, Dr. Steve Loar, Dr. Marissa Sweeny and Dr. Bob Sweeny.

Cody Bloom (sophomore, art education) came out to see the work of his professors, including Fortushniak and Sweeny.

“It’s really beautiful,” Bloom said. “I like a lot of their works. They are different from a lot of other galleries I’ve seen.

I think this is a really nice gallery.”

Models break barriers at New York Fashion Week

By MELANIE BURNEY The Philadelphia Inquirer TNS

Born without a right forearm, Rebekah Marine was always embarrassed by her disability.

As a youngster, she tried to hide it and nearly gave up her dreams of modeling.

Those dreams came true in a big way Saturday when Marine strutted down the runway at New York Fashion Week, knocking down barriers about beauty.

Marine, 28, of West Deptford, N.J., who has a bionic prosthetic hand, hopes to inspire others with disabilities, especially youngsters.

“We should all be celebrating uniqueness,” she said in a recent interview. “We don’t have to fit the stereotype.”

She was joined on the runway by four others who don’t fit the mold, including Australian teen sensation Madeline Stuart, 18, who has Down syn-

drome and made her New York Fashion Week debut.

Stuart, too, hopes to open doors for the disabled.

She has done an advertising campaign for the lifestyle brand EverMaya – with 5 percent of sales profits for a bag named after her earmarked for the National Down Syndrome Society – and posed for Manifesta, a fitness brand.

“I am a model. I hope through modeling I can change society’s view of people with disabilities. Exposure is creating awareness, acceptance and inclusion,” Stuart wrote on her Facebook page.

They walked for the fashion designer FTL Moda, who has designed clothes for Lady Gaga and Beyoncé Earlier this year, the Italian company featured its first-ever male amputee model, along with models in wheelchairs and on crutches.

“It’s a matter of making this world a little better,” show producer Ilaria

Niccolini said. “I would like to see this beauty coming out. We want to break the rules and have fun doing it.”

Marine walked in February’s New York Fashion Week and shot with Nordstrom for its 2015 anniversary catalog.

She feels her acceptance is growing in an industry that celebrates perfect bodies.

She wears an i-limb quantum, considered one of the most advanced prosthetic hands in the world.

She began modeling four years ago after getting the bionic arm at the suggestion of a friend.

“I kind of took the idea and ran with it,” she said. “It has become something bigger than me. I represent a whole group of people, thousands of people over the world who struggle with their image.”

As a child, Marine tried breaking into the fashion industry. Her mother toted her to agencies in New York.

“It became known very quickly that

I wouldn’t have a future in it. I gave up the idea of modeling,” she said.

In high school, Marine said she was self-conscious about her arm.

She was reluctant to talk about it or take photos in which it could be seen.

She worried boys wouldn’t find her attractive.

“I always felt like I was the ugly duckling,” she said.

Despite recent success landing assignments, making headway in the fashion industry has not been easy.

Marine still doesn’t have an agency behind her, and getting someone to give her portfolio a glance has been challenging.

But the difference, she says, is that now she exudes confidence. She has received support from Models of Diversity, an international advocacy group.

At 5-foot-3 and 110 pounds, Marine stands in stark contrast to her more traditional, statuesque counterparts.

“I always joke that my height is my

13

biggest disability,” she said. “They always want taller models on runways. I got the short end of the stick.”

An advertising graduate of Rowan University, in Glassboro, N.J., Marine has spent most of her career as a car saleswoman. She currently is employed at a Nissan dealership.

She is a volunteer ambassador for the Lucky Fin Project, an organization that raises awareness and support for those with upper-limb differences.

“She’s trying to change how people define beauty,” said Molly Stapelman, of Royal Oak, Mich., who founded the group in honor of her daughter, Ryan, 8, who was born with six fingers.

Marine said she was thinking about how she can inspire others as she got runway-ready for Saturday’s show.

Her ultimate goal is to land on the cover of Vogue.

“I feel so blessed to be able to get a second chance” at modeling, she said.

“You never know.”

‘Beauty Behind the Madness:’ A mangled masterpiece

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

The Weeknd’s alluring ambiguity as an artist is draped in pain, thrill and seduction with the release of his second studio album, “Beauty Behind the Madness.”

The album was produced by Republic Records and released Aug. 28.

It includes smash singles such as “Earned It” and “The Hills,” as well as 12 other soulful tracks.

Abel Tesfaye, best known as The Weeknd, has been slithering out of a co-

coon made of clandestine slow jams and bursting into aching, lyrical honesty.

On his new album, these lyrical masterpieces are blended with classic, lively beats and vocals that are reminiscent of legends like Michael Jackson.

Take “Losers,” for example. The Weeknd sings emotionally, “We make our own sins, and you’re qualified” just before breaking into startling piano sounds that flirt eagerly with the bass.

This is the kind of music that calls for spontaneous dance outbursts without much consideration for who, or what, is around.

“I think the Weeknd is trying to convert his style to be more mainstream, while still keeping in his old lyricism alive,” said Emily McMichael (junior, Spanish and international studies).

“Beauty Behind the Madness” is a slow saunter through a back alley.

It is a personal invitation to the dim and damned encounters of this artists’ complex journey, all accompanied by artfully crafted beats, as well as features from other well-known artists such as Ed Sheeran and Lana Del Rey. This album is the perfect companion for a night out, or a tranquil night in.

IUP blows 21-point lead in season opener The Indiana University of Pennsylvania Crimson Hawks (0-1) surrendered 28 second-half points and allowed 486 yards of offense to Kutztown University (1-1) in a 34-33 loss on Frank Cignetti Field at George P. Miller Stadium on Saturday.

There was a new feeling surrounding the IUP football team to start the 2015 season, and FOOTBALL not just because of the new uniforms.

Eight new transfers and 19 freshmen joined the team this season, all of whom were looking to help the team improve upon a 6-5 year in 2014, which included a 44-7 thumping by Kutztown.

IUP also brought in a new offensive coordinator in Marty Higgins, who brought with him an up-tempo, spread style.

The excitement level was high, and the Crimson Hawks channeled that emotion in a big way early Saturday.

To begin the game, IUP rotated between quarterbacks Chase Haslett (graduate, kinesiology health & sport science) and Lenny Williams (freshman, accounting).

Haslett, who started the game, found wideout Swahneek Brown (freshman, management) for the first score of the game on a back-shoulder fade for a 12yard touchdown.

Defensively, the Crimson Hawks stymied the Kutztown offense for much of the first half, forcing multiple threeand-outs.

The Golden Bears got on the scoreboard in the second quarter when Chad Barton connected with receiver Kellen Williams to make it 7-6 in favor of the Crimson Hawks.

IUP responded with two touchdowns to close out the first half. Sophomore Chris Temple (accounting) scampered into the end zone from 23 yards out to put IUP up 14-6.

der injury, had 195 yards rushing on 18 carries.

IUP’s defense closed out the first half in a big way when Barton dumped a pass off that was intercepted by Matthew Mowad (sophomore, kinesiology, health & sport science) and returned 23 yards for a touchdown in front of the 3,007 fans in attendance.

In the second half, Williams kept the ball on a read-option play and gave IUP its largest lead of the game. Up 27-6 in the third quarter, players were feeling good, and so was head coach Curt Cignetti.

“I felt great,” Cignetti said. “I thought we really had a chance to knock them out.”

“Everyone said, ‘Keep your foot on the pedal; have a lead foot. Keep it going.’ The game wasn’t over. That’s why you have to finish.”

Penalties and special teams miscues were frequent for the Crimson Hawks in the second half. The Golden Bears were also able to find some consistency in the passing game, which allowed them to climb back into the game.

Kutztown had two rushing touchdowns in the third quarter to make it a one-possession game. IUP responded early in the fourth when Williams found Walt Pegues (sophomore, communications media) for a 63-yard touchdown.

Lenny Williams Passing: 12-24, 163 Yards 1 TD Rushing: 68 Yards, 1 TD

Those turned out to be the last points the Crimson Hawks would score in the game.

Williams, who finished 12-of-24 for 163 yards and two combined touchdowns, understood how important this game was for the returning players.

“They all talked about how it felt last year to lose to them, and I wanted to come out here and make sure it didn’t happen again,” Williams said.

Kodi Reed and Williams hauled in the final two touchdowns for the Golden Bears, respectively, giving them a 3433 lead.

IUP got as close as the Kutztown 33yard line, but a holding penalty negated a first-down play, and the drive eventu-

ally resulted in a turnover on downs.

After the game, Cignetti put things into perspective to his team, and reminded his team how athletics resemble life.

“In life, you’re going to have a job, a family, kids,” Cignetti said, “where the consequences are a lot more serious than a football game.”

IUP will now try to turn its attention to Lock Haven University. The team has not lost to the Bald Eagles since 1981, and it is confident that it will be ready to go.

“We’ll bounce back,” Mowad said.

“We’ll definitely bounce back. We’re all in this together.

“We’re all in, no matter what.”

The Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski show continued when the NFL regular season started on Thursday night, as the defending Super Bowl champion New England Patriots beat the Pittsburgh Steelers 28-21.

A short week ago, Brady was suspended for four games and Jimmy Garoppolo was prepping to make his first career start. After a long offseason of battling NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman, Brady’s suspension was overruled.

That proved to be bad news for the Steelers, as Brady continued his dominance by breaking a New England Patriots record and an NFL record. Brady completed 19 passes in a row at one point in the game, and he also now has the most victories for one team as a starting quarterback at 161. Brady takes

September 15, 2015

over the record from Brett Favre, who had the record of 160 wins with the Green Bay Packers.

The Steelers defense looked bad in the preseason, but bad would not be the word to use after that game. Try horrific, mind-boggling or even ghastly.

The Steelers surrendered 288 yards, four touchdowns and a 143.8 passer rating to Brady when he hooked up with the most dominant tight end in the NFL, Gronkowski, for 94 yards and three of those scores. Julian Edelman also had 11 catches on 12 targets for 97 yards.

Keith Butler’s first game as Steelers defensive coordinator did not go as planned. The secondary looked out of place early and often in the game.

Gronk scored his first touchdown from 16 yards out with no one guarding him because Will Allen and Antwon Blake miscommunicated.

The defense also struggled with former University of Pittsburgh football star Dion Lewis, who had his first career

start. Lewis, who played in 46 of the Patriots’ 61 snaps, had himself 69 rushing yards and 51 receiving yards with one huge fumble that Gronkowski recovered on the 1-yard line to prevent a huge opportunity for the Steelers.

The starting secondary consisted of William Gay and Antwon Blake at the corner spots, with Mike Mitchell and Will Allen at safety. Shamarko Thomas was thought to be future Hall-of-Famer Troy Polamalu’s successor, but the 24-year-old Thomas was beat out by the 33-year-old Allen.

Newly acquired kicker Josh Scobee left six points on the board by missing his first two field goals of the game.

Additionally, a knuckleheaded play by former seventh-overall pick Darrius Heyward-Bey kept the Steelers from scoring a touchdown late in the second quarter.

The Steelers were moving down the field with 19 seconds remaining in the half when Roethlisberger threw a touchdown pass over a defender to Heyward-

Sports

Bey. Unfortunately, Heyward-Bey’s right foot was out of bounds, and therefore resulted as no touchdown. Head coach Mike Tomlin opted for a Scobee field goal to go into halftime down 143.

Offensive coordinator Todd Haley and Roethlisberger missed big-play wide receiver Martavis Bryant, who is serving a four-game suspension, and star running back Le’Veon Bell heavily in this matchup. The Steelers, without Bryant and Bell in the lineup, average 20.7 points a game compared to 31.2 with them.

Roethlisberger finished the game 26-of-38 for 351 yards, a touchdown and an interception. He had help from two veteran role players to keep the Steelers in this tight contest.

Running back DeAngelo Williams and tight end Heath Miller stepped in and took over Bell’s and Bryant’s roles in the offense, and both excelled when given the opportunity.

Williams, 32, rushed for 127 yards

on 21 carries. Williams looked as if he had no wear and tear at all on that 10-year-career body. Miller had himself a day with eight receptions for 84 yards and often was the third-down goto receiver when Antonio Brown was covered.

What can Brown do for you? Well, besides continuing his 34-game streak of five catches and 50 yards or more, he dominated Super Bowl hero Malcolm Butler. Brown recorded nine catches for 133 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets. The only target that was not caught was a rare drop in the fourth quarter.

Rookie linebacker Bud Dupree and Allen both recorded the first sacks of their careers. Allen also left the game late with concussion-like symptoms.

Look for Thomas to get extended playing time next week.

The Steelers will look to rebound against a depleted San Francisco 49ers squad led by quarterback Colin Kaepernick on Sunday at 1 p.m. at Heinz Field in Pittsburgh.

Penn State earns first win of 2015

By JOE JULIANO

The Philadelphia Inquirer TNS

It wasn’t a huge leap, but rather a small step for Penn State University in the rain Saturday at Beaver Stadium.

The Nittany Lions attempted to get their season going in the right direction after the nightmarish season opener of a week ago.

The Lions didn’t gain a bunch of yards, and Buffalo wasn’t exactly bottled up on its side of midfield for the entire game, either.

But the positive signs were no sacks of Christian Hackenberg, a spectacular home debut by true freshman Saquon Barkley and improvement along the offensive line.

That was enough encouragement in a 27-14 victory before a sopping-wet crowd of 93,065.

No one was suggesting afterward that a win over the Bulls (1-1), a team predicted to finish in the middle of the pack in the Mid-American Conference, would propel the Nittany Lions (1-1) into Big Ten title contention. Still, a win after last week’s debacle at Temple University meant progress.

“I thought it was good,” said Hackenberg, who threw his first touchdown pass of the season, a 5-yarder to DaeSean Hamilton.

“I’m not going to say that we made huge bounds. I thought it was really good to be able to go out and execute and overcome the adversity when we needed to. Now I think it’s just given us a lot more momentum to be able to focus.”

Barkley, a 5-foot-11, 215-pounder, rushed for 115 yards on 12 carries.

While only playing during the second half, he scored on a 9-yard run in the fourth quarter for a 27-7 Lion lead.

His truly electrifying moment came earlier when he busted up the middle, hurdled a potential tackler and carried for 17 yards while doing something he hadn’t done since high school.

“Saquon used to hurdle people all the time in high school, and he said: ‘I’m not going to do that in college,’” Penn State head coach James Franklin said. “I’m glad he brought that back out

of his bag of tricks.”

For the game, 200 of Penn State’s 327 total yards came on the ground.

Akeel Lynch had 45, and true freshman Brandon Polk also added 45, including a 22-yard touchdown run.

Defensively, the Nittany Lions made big plays and big stops when they had to.

Carl Nassib, the fifth-year senior defensive end out of Malvern Prep, led the way with an interception, three sacks and two forced fumbles.

The interception, off a deflection from tackle Anthony Zettel, set up one of two short field goals that were knocked down by Joey Julius.

The starters on the offensive line and at linebacker were reshuffled during the week by Franklin and his staff.

Paris Palmer was benched at left tackle, and redshirt sophomore Andrew Nelson shifted over from the right side to replace him.

When Nelson suffered an injury on the final play of the first half, Palmer took over and played the entire second half.

At linebacker, sophomore Jason Cabinda was moved from the weak side to the middle, flanked by Troy Reeder on the weak side and Von Walker on the strong side.

Franklin said he would be more involved with the offense this week but sidestepped a question on whether he took a role in play-calling.

“I was more active all week long,” he said.

“I think all the coaches did a nice job having a plan and to have our guys prepared. There’s still a lot of things we need to get cleaned up, and a lot of things we need to get better.”

So it’s progress, even if it was modest for Hackenberg, who completed 14 of 27 passes for 128 yards.

But the Lions may have found the road to success.

“We’re on to Rutgers now, make sure that we’re getting prepared for them,” Hackenberg said.

“We know what that challenge brings. We played them last year. We’re really excited about the atmosphere that we’re going to have here.”

HUTSON BAUMANN

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

With fall athletics beginning, Indiana University of Pennsylvania students, faculty, alumni and guests are all looking at the teams that have had promising starts.

And one of the strongest teams this season may be one which CROSS is typically an individualoriented sport.

The men’s cross-counCOUNTRY try team recently won its first meet of the season, which included Edinboro University.

Edinboro was picked to finish ahead of IUP in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference coaches poll.

Finishing with five runners in the top nine, IUP took home a win.

Hutson Baumann (sophomore, sports administration), of Ellicott City, Md., is running as a redshirt freshman this season and finished the 8-kilometer course with a time of 26:38.

“This is the best team we have had in many years,” Baumann said. “It’s not just that one individual or one group is running well. The whole team is running well. We are looking to place in a high place at nationals.”

Despite being cool and confident now, Baumann’s athletic career didn’t really kick off until this season.

“Freshman year was tough,” he said.

“Now I have a rhythm with the guys on the team. We practice together and

study together. We’re like a big family.

I even live with some of the guys from my team.”

Although the team’s close-knit attitude is a definite contribution to their triumph, Baumann attributed most of the credit for the team’s success to head coach Joey Zins. “[He] is doing phenomenal,” Baumann said.

“Without him, we would be nowhere near where we are today. We are substantially better, especially because of the summer workouts.”

Baumann said he is ecstatic about how the team looks this year and is optimistic about having one of the best seasons the team has had in quite some time.

“We beat Edinboro, and they were ranked higher than us,” Baumann said.

“I’m just really excited for this season and hope we go as far as we plan to.”

IUP’s men’s cross-country team will compete Sept. 18 at 6 p.m. at the Virginia Tech for the Alumni Invitational.

GREG BEARER

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

Indiana University of Pennsylvania men’s basketball got a package deal by adding another Kiski School player, Greg Bearer, who will join the 2015 Crimson Hawks recruiting class.

Bearer was a teammate of head coach Joe Lombardi’s son, Dante, so some camaraderie from the high school hardwood will be brought to IUP. “We chased a state championship,” Bearer said. “Now it’s going to be fun chasing a national championship, too.”

Bearer was a three-year starter and a four-year letterman for the Cougars.

He averaged 14 points and eight boards last season.

“I can shoot the ball from anywhere on the court,” he said. “I’m not afraid to do the dirty [work] also.”

Against a New England school

called Putnam Science Academy, Bearer dropped a career-high 34 points.

“Not sure how my game will translate to IUP,” Bearer said. “I know I’ll be able to score and give my all.”

Bearer should be expected to be used in the same way Stefan Osborne was used last year: a sharp-shooter who can come in the game and knock down 3-pointers efficiently.

“I just want to come in right away, expand my game and help IUP return to the National Championship anyway that I can,” he said.

Bearer joins a list of players who are impressed by Lombardi’s success.

“I choose IUP because of the winning culture of the program and the family atmosphere the team and coaches have with each other,” he said.

Bearer will get a chance to contribute to that winning culture when the Crimson Hawks take on the Urbana University Blue Knights Nov. 13 at 7:30 p.m. in the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex to open their season.

Go to Crimson Connect to vote.

Students will also receive a follow-up email with a voting link.

VOTE TODAY!

All voting ends tomorrow Wednesday, September 16 at 11:45 PM Questions or concerns can be directed to the Center for Student Life at 724-357-2598.
