The Humanities and Social Sciences Building (HSS) hosted the International Tea Time and Education Abroad Fair Wednesday.

The event featured booths set up by international students who served snacks and drinks from their home countries. It also offered students the chance to get information on studying abroad from various groups that were tabling there.

The event was part of International Education Week, a joint effort between the U.S. Department of State and Department of Education designed to promote cross-cultural awareness.

“The whole week is to celebrate other cultures… and promote cultural exploration,” said Jessica Dories, assistant

director of international student and scholar services.

Dories said the event is designed to catch students as they go about their days and initiate students with any desire to study abroad to get informed about it.

“Studying abroad is a really high-impact practice, and students are really changed from the time they decide to study abroad to when they come back,” said Riley Daniels, a graduate assistant in the Student Affairs in Higher Education Department. “It’s just a transformative experience.”

Bailey Wilde, a representative for ISEP Study Abroad, said this event helps students gain appreciation for other cultures and can help them with determining if and where they’d like to study abroad.

The HSS lobby was filled with people mingling and getting to know others from various cultures.

The international students’

booths were covered with snacks and draped in their countries’ flags, as well as other ornamentation from their cultures.

One of the graduate students running the Egypt booth said the event offered a great deal of diversity and brought people from different countries together to try new things.

Bridget Marion (sophomore, history education) said the event helps people discover new cultures.

“It’s really cool that a lot of different cultures bring food and drinks, so that if you’re interested in studying abroad in, say, India, you get to try some of that,” she said.

Marion also said the event is beneficial because it allows those who wouldn’t go out and find this information on their own to see it as they come out of class.

Students celebrate fall with festivities EMILY LOOSE

Staff Writer E.D.Loose@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

As the weather in Indiana changes from hot to cold, it is beginning to feel like autumn has finally arrived. With the weather comes falling leaves, pumpkin everything and sweaters.

To go along with this change, the school is becoming festive as well. In the next few weeks, STATIC (The Student Activity Committee) is holding many events that deal with fall and Halloween.

Fall Fest is one of the many events and is held Oct. 21 in the Hadley Union Building (HUB) Ohio Room. Fall Fest will feature many traditional fall activities, including pumpkin carving and gourd decorating. The event will also serve many favorite fall goodies from apple cider to pumpkins rolls.

The best part about it? It will be free for all.

On Oct. 26, STATIC also plans to hold its annual trip to Kennywood for Fright Night. Tickets cost $25 and include a bus trip to and from the park.

With all of the excitement go-

ing around, students must have their own traditions about fall that they love.

Tristan West (sophomore, communications media) went with his favorite holiday.

“Halloween is the best thing about fall,” he said. “I don’t like the cold weather much, but I love the costumes and eerie feeling that Halloween brings. To me, it is the best holiday. I dress up every year.”

West said he plans to dress up as Jason Voorhees from the “Friday the 13th” franchise this Halloween.

Patricia Pinson (sophomore, communications media) disagreed with him, citing anything pumpkin flavored as the best part. To her, pumpkin-flavored drinks are “a gift from God.” “I’m always excited for pumpkin spice lattes,” said Pinson. “It’s my favorite thing from Starbucks.

I could drink it all year.”

While Pinson prefers lattes to warm her up during the cold weather, Meghan Meyer (senior, general studies) would rather cozy up around a fire. As someone who generally prefers spring and summer, she wants warmth all year round.

“Bonfires, campfires or just fireplaces,” she said. “I like being cozy and warm.”

This fall will be especially exciting now that she has a puppy to cuddle with, according to her.

Through a poll posted on social media, most people said they prefer fall for sweater weather.

“Who doesn’t want to shop for big and comfy sweaters?” one anonymous user asked. “Nothing to me is better than getting the chance to lounge around in sweaters and fuzzy socks. It’s good in winter, but even better in the fall.”

Other users gave various answers, some similar to those above and others such as hayrides and leaf piles.

Everyone has their own idea of what the best part of autumn is.

No matter the popularity of the answer, all thoughts are just as good as the others.

However you celebrate and enjoy the weather is up to you.

As the weather continues to chill, find time to participate in all of your favorite traditions and maybe take time to try out something new.

Students encourage others to study abroad EMILY LOOSE

Staff Writer E.D.Loose@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

Imagine traveling in beautiful countries and getting a feel for the cultures, trying foods you never thought you would try, and having a great time while still earning credits. This is all a possibility if you study abroad.

This segment of the Six O’Clock Series at IUP delved into what study abroad was like for those who went, along with information on scholarships for students who were interested. It was presented by Jessica Mulvihill from the Office of International Education and Christian Vaccaro, a sociology professor.

Four students shared their own stories of study abroad. While all went to different countries, each had great things to say about their respective country. Three traveled through study abroad or through a class trip, while one received the Fulbright scholarship, a scholarship that allows graduating seniors and graduate students to travel and study abroad for a full year.

The first to speak was Nicole Fisher (senior, international business), who originally wanted to go to France after studying the language in school. However, things changed, and before she knew it, she wanted to travel to Finland, which she did over the spring and summer.

“When going to Finland, always go during the warm months because winters are freezing there,” she said. Fisher had traveled out of the country before, having been to Belgium before college, but she wanted even more experience.

While in Finland, went to school at the University of Helsinki. There she had five roommates, all from different countries. She said they all still talk frequently.

By going to Finland, she was able to go to other countries, such as Russia. She was also able to experience different holidays, like Vappu, which is Finland’s May Day. She advised students to go for the right reasons because even though it is fun, everyone is there to learn.

“You’ll learn to love being a student when you’re there as long as you keep your grades up,” she said.

As she applies for more scholarships, she advised students to think

(Emily Loose/ The Penn) Shayak Sengupta, a graduate student from Carnegie Mellon, Daniel Wethli (senior, philosophy), Bryn Lenkaitis (senior, art history) and Nicole Fisher (senior, international business) shared their own stories of study abroad.

hard when writing their proposals.

“Ask yourself, ‘what makes you stand out from everyone else?’” she said.

Daniel Wethli’s (senior, philosophy) journey began his freshman year when his professor told him she wanted to take a class to China.

“I didn’t think I would be able to go since I was just a freshman, but I did, and it was the best experience of my life,” he said.

Having been part of the group Conversation Partners, Wethli gained a lot of help through his language partner. He ended up loving the experience, making him do it again for a whole semester in his junior year.

While there, Wethli met people from all over the world, but he was most excited to be able to use his Chinese language skills to speak to natives. He also had the chance to run the American booth for International Day there.

By the time he went on a third trip, he decided to add Asian Studies as a second major.

Wethli says none of this would have happened if it had not been for Shijuan Liu, the professor he went to China with his freshman year.

Wethli suggested that students try to learn the language of where

they travel before they go.

“Language is communicative,” he said. “It’s how you get to know people. I have many friends through this journey through language.”

Now, even after going to China three times, Daniel wants to go again. He applied for the Fulbright Scholarship and is excited to find out if a fourth trip is a possibility.

Bryn Lenkaitis (senior, art history) did not know what made her stand out from others initially. However, she learned when she had the chance to go to Spain, thanks to being part of the honors college.

“It was so exciting and beautiful,” Lenkaitis said. “You do a lot of walking, and you can’t have your phone, but you get to know everyone around you.”

It was a pivotal moment for her, making her want to travel again.

Later in her college career, she volunteered in a program that allowed her to help immigrants learn English. This turned out to be another major point in her life.

Knowing she wanted to be an educator in some way, this helped her realize that she did not want to take a classic path. Lenkaitis wanted to learn about the education systems of other countries. So in the fall semester of her junior year, she traveled to Croatia. While there, she was able to complete her art studio minor.

Though she applied for the Fulbright scholarship to go to Cypress, Lenkaitis has already been accepted to the Peace Corps.

Through her experience, she said she believes all students should try for a chance to study abroad and get out of their comfort zones.

“Apply for different opportunities,” she said. “It will broaden your horizons outside of college.”

All of these students had great experiences studying abroad, but what’s the journey like for students who win Fulbright scholarships?

Shayak Sengupta, a graduate student from Carnegie Mellon, was one of those who was lucky enough to receive the scholarship. He used it to travel to India for his 2015-16 school year.

As an Indian-American, he was interested in visiting the country on his own and not to see family.

Though initially shocked by the feeling, he said he felt himself growing independent and started to love it.

While in India, he worked on a research project that dealt with air pollution, a big problem in the country. His main focus was to understand how they could control power stations by using field research and a model of the atmosphere.

Though Sengupta worked well in his research, much of the culture still surprised him.

“English is widely spoken in class, but once you’re out of it, no one really does,” he said. “It makes you use parts of your brain that you usually don’t.”

He also explained that the program is very flexible, especially with projects. While studying is the main

point, there is time to explore and find enjoyment in things.

While in India, Sengupta was able to have dinner with the U.S. ambassador of India, as well as travel to the North India Embassy. He claimed that this experience made him feel like a better citizen.

“You learn what it means to be an American, especially to other countries.”

Now in graduate school, Sengupta said he hopes to travel to India again at some point. He advised students to try studying abroad. Without his experience, he said he would not have the perspective he has now.

As the segment ended, all of the students agreed to start looking early, especially for scholarships.

Though the trips might seem like fun, it is a long process.

“It can take six months to write a proposal, but you have help here at the school,” Lenkaitis said.

Dr. Mulvihill closed out the program with one simple sentence: “If you have passion, that’s all you need to succeed.”

If you are interested in learning about scholarships that are offered for studying abroad, visit Dr. Vaccaro in McElhaney Hall Room 102B. For more information on studying abroad, the Office of International Education in Delaney Hall Suite B25 is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m.

Professor promotes violence awareness JESS TRUBY

News Editor J.L.Truby@iup.edu @jesstruby

A psychology professor is sponsoring an essay contest to raise awareness for violence on campus.

The professor, Pearl Berman, will give $100 cash to the student who writes the best essay on how the world would change if no one had to worry about being verbally, physically or sexually abused, harassed or demeaned.

“I am sponsoring this contest because I belong to the National Partnership to End Interpersonal Violence, and we have a three-generation plan for making all forms of interpersonal violence rare,” said Berman in an Oct. 17 email.

She said there are steps in the plan that can be taken by society to lessen interpersonal violence, but society is not taking those steps because it does not believe that violence is preventable.

“I thought if people could

dream more about what it would really mean to be safe from the moment you woke up, through the day and while sleeping, they would be more motivated to support our plan and help end violence,” Berman said in the email.

The purpose of the contest is to get people talking about a subject that affects everyone, di-

rectly or indirectly. People do not recognize how violence affects them when they are not the victim or the perpetrator.

“Imagine watching the news in the morning and not starting your day by hearing about how someone shot his/her family in the middle of the night,” Berman said. “What might it be like to

realize you left your cell phone in the Oak Grove and going out, at 2 a.m., without any fear that you might get mugged or sexually assaulted?”

The worry and fear of violence affects people even if they do not fall victim to it.

Berman is working with Angela Townsend (freshman, psychology),

who asked Berman if she would be able to help her with violence prevention research. They came up with the idea of the contest together.

The two topics students can choose from are, “what would your life be like if you woke up one day and there was no interpersonal violence?” or “what would your life be like if there was no interpersonal violence at IUP?” Students may include personal stories of experiences that impact their daily lives and how it could be changed if violence was minimal. The submission may be anonymous, but Berman must have a way to contact the winner, so students must include a valid IUP email and phone number with the essay.

The length requirement is no more than 5,000 words, and it is due no later than Nov. 16 at 4 p.m., right before Thanksgiving break.

Students can turn in the essay at Uhler Hall Room 101 in the box labeled “My Life Without Violence.”

OPINION

Do your research and head to the polls Election Day As the calendar turns toward the end of the year and the leaves start falling outside, the first Tuesday in November draws ever closer.

If that day sounds familiar to you, it should; Election Day each and every year takes place then. While no election is quite as popular (potentially also not as important) as the one every four years that decides who the next president will be, the 2018 midterm elections are extremely important for a variety of reasons.

Looking past that, however, each and every election holds a great deal of importance.

Perhaps this testimonial came too late, as the deadline to register to vote in Pennsylvania has already come and gone.

If you are registered to vote, there is absolutely no excuse not to exercise that right. Again, this election is especially important in so many ways.

Here in Pennsylvania, the two most important races are the gubernatorial race, in which Democratic incumbent Tom Wolf and his running mate John Fetterman are up against Republican Scott Wagner and running mate Jeff Bartos, and the race for one of the state’s two Senate seats, in which incumbent Democrat Bob Casey faces off against Republican Lou Barletta.

If you don’t recognize any of those names, there’s a wide range of websites in which you can compare candidates, see their stances on important issues, and also view the particular races in your district of registration, such as Ballotpedia, which also features a sample ballot lookup feature to see almost everything that will feature on your ballot.

Nationwide, each and every one of the 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives is up for election, which does not happen very often.

In the Senate, 35 of the seats will be up for election. As the Republican Party currently holds the majority in both of those, its base will hope to hold that majority to continue to push the agenda of our current president, while the Democratic Party will hope to see a “blue wave” push them back into the majority.

There are also third party candidates, most primarily in the Libertarian and Green parties, that most certainly warrant looking into just the same as the two main parties’ candidates.

While all of that sounds well and good, the one problem we have in this country is that voter turnout is never anywhere

close to 100 percent.

For the 2016 presidential elections, only 60 percent of eligible voters cast a ballot, and on average for midterm elections, that number sits closer to 40 percent. If we have less than half of the country decide who should be in charge, our government is nowhere close to where it is intended to be.

Former President Barack Obama just released a video debunking seven big excuses that potential voters give for not voting. You can listen to what his takes are yourself, but let’s go through them briefly.

1 and 2: “I don’t care about politics” and “I can’t relate to the candidates”: If you don’t care, then you should. If you still won’t, then at least do 10 minutes of research, and chances are one of the candidates will have similar opinions to yours, so vote for them.

Obviously the average American isn’t going to have a lot in common with most of the people who we call politicians, but again, there’s a good chance that someone on the ballot has opinions similar to yours. In 2018, less of those stereotypical politicians are on the ballot anyway, and there’s more diversity across the board, which includes the most female candidates in any election ever.

3, 4 and 5: “My vote doesn’t matter,” “Midterms are boring” and “I don’t know the candidates”: We already discussed No. 5. If the numbers of people who don’t vote were listed as a candidate, it would win in a landslide. Every. Single. Year.

2016’s election had the “did not vote” category gain numbers nearly 20 percent

higher than either main candidate. Even if it’s just one vote, it undoubtedly matters.

Even if your vote is for a third party candidate, it’s still worth it just the same.

And the midterm elections vote in people who directly assist the

president and determine what all they are able to do. While obviously POTUS holds the most power, the members of Congress are no less essential. #6: “I don’t know where I’m supposed to vote”: You can look up your voter registration information online on Vote.org simply by typing your address, and if you’re a student who isn’t registered to vote in Indiana, absentee ballot applications can be sent to your home election office until the Tuesday before the election. #7: “I don’t have time to vote”: Polling places are open most of the day, so there should hopefully be a convenient 10 minutes to half an hour in your day in which you can go vote. If not, absentee ballots may work for you as well. Many states also feature early voting.

The moral of the story: vote on Nov. 6.

Scary Movies Watching scary movies during the fall season is a great way to spend time with your favorite people or wind down alone after a long day…if you are brave enough.

Some classic spooky movies include “Psycho,” “Silence of the Lambs” and “Halloween.”

These movies will make your skin crawl with their intensity and eye-squinting horror.

For all scary movie

lovers, the “Halloween” franchise has a new installment coming out Oct. 19.

Costumes Costumes are a fun way to celebrate fall by dressing up as your favorite character.

Many IUP students still enjoy getting in the Halloween spirit.

Costumes are especially fun with a partner of a group of friends.

For different and interesting costume ideas, try Pinterest for inspiration. Pinterest has costumes ideas if you want to do it yourself, or if you need to throw a creative costume together last minute.

(Ashley Lutz/ The Penn) “The One Who Sleeps On His Breath” by Andy Byers investigates the life of artist and photographer Edward S. Curtis, as well as Byers’ own life and practices at the Kipp Gallery located on the first floor of Sprowls Hall.

Open Mic Nights have been popular since the invention of poetry slams in 1986.

These poetry gatherings soon derived into Open Mic Nights so participants could express themselves in more ways than one.

IUP hosts an Open Mic Night every Monday for students to express themselves through song, dance, poetry, stand-up comedy and much more.

This weekly event is hosted at 8 to 10 p.m in the Hadley Union Building (HUB) Ohio Room. Although the emcees of Open Mic Night are unsure of how long the tradition has been going on, they don’t see it dying any time soon.

The masterminds and producers of IUP’s Open Mic Night are Liam Kleckner (junior, music education) and Nathan Janov (junior, information and technology). The juniors had this job passed down to them.

Each Monday the co-hosts come in, set up, run the entire show, perform covers and sometimes even perform original works. Kleckner said there are a lot of Open Mic Nights in his hometown, and he was influenced to participate in the one at IUP. “I feel at home here,” Kleckner said. “It’s really cool to see

all the local talent and everyone supporting each other.”

Audience members never know what they are going to experience. Each week there are newcomers and returning Open Mic Night veterans.

Some up-and-coming artists to look out for include Longtime Nevada and soloist Janov. These rockers captivate the audience with their unique sound and style. Returning audience members sometimes even sing along to the artists’ original lyrics.

“I have been coming Open Mic Night since freshman year,”

Olivia Maloney (junior, fashion merchandising) said. “I love seeing the different acts and the community supporting everyone.

It’s like a family.”

Though Maloney has never performed, she said it’s the music scene that first drew her in.

Maloney isn’t the only one who simply takes in the talent. Most audience members do not perform, but they are there to appreciate and support arts of all forms.

The album “Mirror Master” dropped Oct. 12 and unfortunately left many Young the Giant fans, myself included, under-

went platinum in the U.S. Ever since, Young the Giant created songs with catchy hooks, electric instrumentals and clever lyrics.

As a whole, “Mirror Master” is not their best album, but there are a few hidden gems that are worth a listen, mainly in the singles the band chose.

“Simplify,” the first single off the album, was released June 14 and quickly resonated with fans on social media.

The song explores the fact that sometimes all we need is love to get us through the complicated times in life.

Singer Sameer Gahdia explained the song on the band’s website when the single was released.

“We construct images of how life should be lived: how to act, dress, tweet and vote,” Gahdia wrote. “Often times it is easy to lose your true self. But love is simple, it is the closest thing to truth, and even though love can be compromising, painful and exhausting, we can only see our truest selves in the eyes of another.”

“Simplify” starts with a heavy electric guitar and has lyrics such as: “Worry about the future/ Worry about the past/ Filter out the noise/ Focus on my voice and fall in.”

The song has a comforting effect to it, which was most likely the band’s intention.

Another single, “Heat of the

Summer” is the catchiest song off the album. With groovy guitar melodies and Gahdia’s smoothlike-butter voice, the song sounds like what summer should feel like — carefree. The bassline makes the song very danceable when you listen to it.

Personally, I think this is the best song off the album, and I am excited to hear what it sounds like live.

Yet another single is “Call Me Back,” which was released on Oct. 5. The song is more mellow in comparison to other songs on the album.

With lyrics like: “I’m still holding on to all your promises/ Why’d you tell me you were on your way back/ I’ve been waiting for so long” the song has a somber mood, but the instrumentals give the song more life and make me want to listen to it again and again.

Although this album wasn’t the band’s best, it in no way discredits Young the Giant as musicians or songwriters.

“Home of the Strange” is a fan-favorite album, which led to a high expectation for “Mirror Master.”

Even though this album didn’t meet that expectation, I still recommend that everyone, no matter your musical tastes, see Young the Giant live at least once. The band starts its fall tour Oct. 25, so don’t miss your chance on seeing one of the best live bands out there.

f l a s h b a c k f r i d ay Roseanne steals the hearts of many, even today

(Facebook) “Roseanne” debuted Oct. 18, 1988.

HEATHER BAIR Staff Writer H.Bair@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

On Oct. 18, 1988, 21 million people tuned into ABC’s channel to watch the premiere of “Roseanne."

The show centered around a working-class family that lived in Lanford, Ill., and its ups, downs, trials and errors and life in general.

The family consisted of Roseanne

and Dan Connor, their three children and Roseanne’s sister Jackie, who was a recurring character and later became a classic. The show ran for nine years, picking up an 11th season in March, which ran until May. “Roseanne” quickly became a fan favorite among viewers. They appreciated and enjoyed the portrayal of Roseanne and Dan: hardworking parents who simply tried to make ends meet for their two daughters, Darlene and Becky, and son DJ. It was a welcomed point-of-view that was different than “Full House” or “The Cosby Show,” which showed well-to-do families and more personal struggles rather than financial, personal, professional and marital troubles.

However, there were some points in the episodes when viewers would become concerned.

Roseanne Barr, who played the title character of Roseanne, was known as a somewhat controversial actress and comedienne.

After “butchering” the nation-

al anthem with “disgrace” – as President. George H. W. Bush said – and dressing up as Adolf Hitler for a photoshoot, Barr left a bad taste in many viewers’ mouths. She continued her controversial trend by making statements like claiming a school-shooting survivor was doing a Nazi salute at a rally.

In 2018, “Roseanne” creator Matt Williams brought back the show for an 11th season. More than 13 million viewers tuned into ABC to watch the revival episode. Many questions were raised, especially why Dan was suddenly alive after being killed off in the original series finale due to a heart attack, which was later explained to have been a dream of Roseanne’s in Season 11.

The show was to be premiered again on Oct.16 with a 12th season; however, plans were changed, and the sudden excitement both old and new “Roseanne” fans had was slightly diminished.

Barr took to Twitter to compare a former Obama administration of-

ficial to “Planet of the Apes,” which was later deemed racist and deleted from her account. She claimed to be drunk when she tweeted it, brushing off the harm she had done not only to herself, but to the show so many viewers were excited for. However, even with the damage done, the show must still go on.

The decision to cut Barr from the show struck a chord with viewers.

Some were opposed, saying that “the show won’t be the same without her” and “how are they going to explain this one away?”

About 10.5 million people switched to ABC to watch the third premiere of the beloved series.

Now, with Roseanne gone, the show switched its name to “The Connors” but is keeping the same storyline.

The show is now following the family all grown up, with Becky and Darlene both being mothers – Darlene following more in Roseanne’s footsteps by being the witty, sarcastic, yet loving mother – and DJ

having a family of his own. DJ’s wife is serving in Afghanistan, yet we will be seeing her when she’s home on leave and visiting the family that still resides in Lanford.

The premiere episode tackled the question of what happened to Roseanne and how the family is dealing with her being gone.

Thirty years later, viewers are still in love with the Connor family’s realistic portrayal. Even though the reboot didn’t exactly premiere the same day, it was close enough, and bittersweet feelings were exchanged among viewers.

Sure, fans missed Roseanne’s witty sarcasm and perfect punchlines, but laughs were high with Darlene’s banter that went back and forth with Aunt Jackie, who is now a regular on the show.

It’s clear everyone’s happy to be back, even without Roseanne, but it still begs the question: was kicking Barr out of “her” show the right decision, or will it end up hurting it in the end? Only time will tell.

Sherlock Holmes solved mysteries, but started on the radio HEATHER BAIR Staff Writer H.Bair@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

Sherlock Holmes has been a household name for more than 130 years.

Everyone knows of the world’s “only consulting detective” who could solve cases by merely looking at one tiny piece of evidence. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle brought Holmes to life in the 1887 novel “A Study in Scarlet,” later having him appear in short stories in the magazine The Strand.

The last story printed was in 1927 titled “The Casebook of Sherlock Holmes.” There have been four novels and 56 short stories, not counting the adaptations and newest stories that fans around the world have created.

Many adaptations have surfaced in the last few decades, such as BBC’s television show "Sherlock” and the movie “Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows” with Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law as the lead roles. There have also been books: “Moriarty” by Anthony Horowitz, “Death Cloud” (about a young Sherlock Holmes) by Andrew Lane and “A Study in Charlotte”

(Facebook) Sherlock Holmes premiered on the radio in 1930.

by Brittany Cavallaro that follow Holmes’ great-great-great-granddaughter Charlotte Holmes while she’s at a prep school and makes friends with a Jamie Watson.

Adaptations of Holmes’ life, adventures and even after-death circumstances can be found abundance anywhere.

However, one of the very first adaptations of the beloved detective was in "The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes.” The program starred the famous Basil Rathbone as Holmes and Nigel Bruce as the lovable, and sometimes dimwitted, Dr. John Watson.

The program was written by Dennis Green and Anthony Boucher.

Boucher, who used the pseudonym H. H. Holmes was famous for writing many mystery and sci-fi novels and short stories. When he and Green came together to bring Sherlock Holmes’ adventures across the sound waves, it was almost a match made in heaven.

“The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes,” ran for 220 episodes on NBC and saw four different actors play the famous detective. Basil Rathbone, who also portrayed Sherlock Holmes in 14 film adaptations, was the first to play Holmes. After leaving the program in 1946, Tom Conway, John Stanley and Ben Wright, who began as a stand-in for Tom Conway and later became a regular, were the recurring actors to portray Holmes.

Watson’s character, however, had six different actors portraying him in the 11-year period.

The program portrayed Dr. Watson in his retirement days as he relaxed in California. The program would have the sponsor of the episode – whether it was Petri Wine (whose “problem” of interrupting during Dr. Watson’s stories hit a sore spot with listeners) or another sponsor – sit down with Dr. Watson and listen as he regales the listeners with different adventures he and Holmes

had “such a long time ago.”

When NBC’s “The New Adventures of Sherlock Holmes” came to an end in December 1950, the reviews were mixed. Nowadays, some of the programs can be found

on YouTube and, although they’re a bit difficult on the ears to listen to, it’s interesting to see how Holmes and Watson were portrayed on a different platform so close to the closure of the original stories.

Field Hockey: The field hockey team suffered an incredibly heartbreaking loss Wednesday, giving up a goal with just six seconds left on the clock and falling to 3-9 on the season with the 3-2 loss to Mansfield.

Both teams traded goals in the game’s opening five minutes, with Kimberly Kelly (junior, natural sciences and mathematics) scoring for the Crimson Hawks. IUP took the lead in the 44th minute on a goal from Kalista Gioglio (senior, kinesiology) and held the 2-1 advantage

until the game’s final six minutes, giving up the equalizer in the 65th before the last-second game-winner.

Olivia Accardi (senior, communications media) had another strong game in goal with 10 saves and was one of three Crimson Hawks named to the 2018 NFHCA Division II Senior Game, along with defender Emma Smiley (natural sciences and mathematics) and midfielder Matti Reightler (political science).

Despite being tied for the second-lowest overall record on the season in the conference, the Crimson Hawks still have a chance at being one of the six seeds selected to the PSAC championship tourna-

ment, as their 2-3 conference record puts IUP in seventh position, just behind Kutztown, who is 2-3 in the PSAC as well, but in sixth due to its 9-4 overall record.

All five remaining games for IUP are against PSAC competition, starting at 1 p.m. Saturday at No. 2 East Stroudsburg.

Soccer: IUP soccer is in the midst of a three-game losing streak directly following three straight wins to start the month of October, dropping its game Wednesday to Lock Haven 3-0.

This is the second consecutive game in which the Crimson Hawks

were held scoreless. The IUP offense looked strong throughout the game despite its inability to score as the Crimson Hawks accrued 12 shots and six corner kicks in the game.

Lock Haven’s Marah Foltz scored twice, while IUP goaltender Maria Tunney (freshman, psychology) earned eight saves.

The Crimson Hawks have three games left in their season, starting with a match at 5 p.m. Saturday at Gannon.

Volleyball: The IUP volleyball team earned its first win since Sept. 21 on Oct. 13, defeating California (Pa.) 3-2,

following an Oct. 12 loss to Seton Hill 3-0.

In the victory, several Crimson Hawks had strong performances, with Madi Burns (sophomore, kinesiology) earning a double-double with 16 kills (a career-best) and 11 digs. In the loss, IUP kept things close near the start of sets but could not come away with a victory in any.

The Crimson Hawks sit at 7-17 (3-8 PSAC) with seven games remaining. Friday and Saturday are the final home games for IUP this season, as they host Kutztown and East Stroudsburg respectively at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex.

Postseason hopes on the line as football faces Gannon BRAD O’HARA

Lead Sports Writer B.L.Ohara@iup.edu @ThePennIUP

IUP is looking to keep momentum on its side Saturday as it goes back on the road to take on Gannon.

The Crimson Hawks hit a rough patch in their season, winning only one of the last three games.

That win was also by only one point, with the winning touchdown scored with fewer than four minutes left in the fourth quarter.

In IUP’s last two games, the team played miserably in the first halves but came out in the second halves looking like a national contender.

In the first half of the past two weeks alone, IUP was outscored 40-13.

However, in the second half of those games, the Crimson Hawks were outscoring their opponents 38-13. IUP will be focused on starting the game Saturday the way

they ended the past two games, both offensively and defensively.

Offensively, the Crimson Hawks are mainly struggling with passing efficiency. Over the first four games of the season, Lenny Williams (senior, accounting) threw just one interception and was completing 67 percent of his passes. In the last three games, Williams threw six interceptions and completed less than half of his passing attempts.

Defensively, it is all about holding off big plays.

Last week against Clarion, the IUP defense played great overall.

That’s because the 20 points scored by Clarion came off three big plays. Other than those plays, the IUP defense was consistently holding the Golden Eagles. Once the defense was able to stop the big plays from happening, it kept Clarion from scoring or even moving the ball. Clarion had 53 more total yards in the first quarter than in the remainder of the game.

With IUP looking to get a winning streak started and make a push back into the national championship picture, they will have to power past a Gannon team that already has its own winning streak going.

After losing its first five games of the season, Gannon has now picked up double-digit wins against Seton Hill and California (Pa.) in an upset last week.

Against California last week, Gannon was an offensive powerhouse gaining 500 yards in total offense. The Golden Knights’ rushing was especially effective, as they ran for 333 yards and averaged more than 6 yards per carry.

Gannon running back Marcus Jones ran for 267 of those rushing yards. This is Jones’ second week in a row rushing for more than 200 yards, as he blasted through Seton Hill the week before, picking up 264 yards. He is now leading the conference, averaging 141.1 yards

per game and is fourth in the nation in rushing yards.

The Crimson Hawks will have their work cut out for them as they

look to pick up a quality win over Gannon and stay in playoff contention.

The game starts at noon in Erie.

Trade.

Defined as the action of buying and selling goods and services, trade is something that has often caused conflict throughout history.

The Boston Tea Party resulting in the Revolutionary War and the demand for cotton leading to the Civil War are both conflicts that were initiated by trade.

Every year in the Kane’s Extraordinary Gentleman (KEG) league, some sort of conflict regarding trade arises at some point throughout the season.

Two years ago, I accepted a trade in which I sent Isaiah Crowell and Ben Roethlisberger to league mate Kevin Cleer for Allen Robinson and Tyler Eifert.

The trade was immediately vetoed, and all hell broke loose. The league members continued to say that Cleer and I were stacking my team.

They claimed that I couldn’t have Robinson because he would be a “godly flex” for me, but we both disagreed.

Truthfully, I had Derek Carr and Marcus Mariota in their breakout

seasons and didn’t need Roethlisberger. I was also stacked at running back with rookie Ezekiel Elliott and Melvin Gordon in his breakout campaign.

I desperately needed a tight end, and Robinson was a solid flex option for me in his rookie year.

I didn’t speak to some of my best friends for weeks because of this conflict.

Eventually on our third attempt, the trade finally went through, but our league had become the “No Trade League.”

After Eifert ended up getting hurt the next week and Robinson ended up being a huge bust, Cleer ended up getting the better end

of the deal and our league mates finally started to see the light, or so we thought.

Last season the league transitioned from the “No Trade League” to the “No Veto League.” But this resulted in trades going through in the league that started to seem like just dumb moves.

Chris Cummings, often referring to himself as “Trade Master Mega Beast,” traded away Jordan Howard and Tyreek Hill halfway through the season for Will Fuller, who was on a heater at the time.

Fuller ended up injured the next game, and Cummings was left with nothing after giving up two of his best players.

A few weeks later, Cummings traded away Alvin Kamara for a bunch of mediocre players that included the likes of Emmanuel Sanders and other players who were in the midst a sub-par season.

What the hell was going on?

This trade ended up singlehandedly changing the entire landscape of the league.

I played Andrew Pierson the next week, and because both Julio Jones and Kamara had great games, I lost that week, and eventually missed the playoffs on a tie breaker due to it.

Jeffrey Kocjancic snuck into the playoffs because of my absences and ended up winning the league.

If it weren’t for the terrible Kamara trade, I very well could have won the league, as I scored the most points in the league throughout the playoffs.

After another season was dis-

rupted by trade conflict, I thought my fellow league mates had finally seen the light this time. Everything was quiet in the league this season.

Until Wednesday.

Cummings asked Pierson, who had a higher waiver claim than him, to claim O.J. Howard off waivers and then agreed to trade Dion Lewis for him.

My roommate Jack Kocjancic was livid. He wanted to claim Howard for himself. A few hours following the trade, it was vetoed, and the league group message exploded.

Personally, this time I did not think the trade was unfair enough to veto, as Lewis has had a very unproductive season thus far.

The counter-argument was that the trade should not be able to go through because Pierson had no intention of rostering Howard, as he already has two tight ends.

And then yesterday, a trade similar to the Kamara deal last year occurred. Derek Bundy agreed to trade Kareem Hunt to Cummings for a group of players, including Taylor Gabriel, Phillip Lindsey and Tyler Boyd.

While the trade itself may not seem too bad, it’s already the eighth trade Bundy has made this year, and he and Cummings seem to be trading frequently with one another.

This resulted in an all-out war in the group message, with personal shots beginning to get thrown around at one another.

Who is right, and who is wrong?

No one can tell. But as soon as personal shots begin getting thrown around over fantasy football, everyone is a loser.

But the point is that as long as there is trade, there will be conflict at some point. No way of getting around it.

is going up against a Tampa Bay defense that averages the most points to opposing quarterbacks (33.8).

Quarterback I’d start this week: Baker Mayfield (Cleveland): Mayfield is averaging more than 14.3 fantasy points per game since he became the starter. But that’s not what draws me to start Mayfield this week. It’s the fact that he

Wide receiver I’d sit this week: Marquise Goodwin (San Francisco): While the 49ers will likely be fighting from behind against the 6-0 Rams, Goodwin still has ONLY nine receptions on the entire season.

Battling injuries, he’s a boom-orbust player at this point.

Quarterback I’d sit this week: Deshaun Watson (Houston): Houston, we have a problem. The Jaguars have allowed fewer than 16 fantasy points per game this season.

With Watson playing in Jacksonville against a division rival, I expect this to be a low-scoring, defensive game with the running backs becoming heavily involved.

Running back I’d start this week: Tarik Cohen (Chicago): Let’s face it. Even with a good Bears defense, we expect Chicago to be down in this one. And even if they aren’t, Cohen has been a crucial part of Chicago’s offensive success over the past two games. In that timeframe, the back has hauled in seven receptions. With such a high floor, Cohen should be a safe play.

Running back I’d sit this week: Marlon Mack (Indianapolis): I’m not jumping on the Marlon Mack train as fast as everyone else.

Even though Mack had 10.3 fantasy points last week, he still only had one reception. The Bills defense gives up fewer than 80 rushing yards per game.

Wide receiver I’d start this week: John Brown (Baltimore): John Brown has busted onto the scene this year, as he is currently ranked the 25th wide receiver in PPR format.

Going up against a Saints defense that allows the most points to opposing wide receivers, I’m all in on Brown this week.

STAT STORIES

NFL continues to be offensive-driven league through six weeks

(TNS) Andrew Luck has returned from injury and might shatter the pass attempts record.

ANDREW PIERSON Staff Writer A.W.Pierson@iup.edu @AndrewPierson23

After six weeks of the NFL season, we have seen plenty of offense and not much defense.

It has made an exciting year for the league so far, but it showed just how much the league is changing with the new rule sets in place and how much offenses, especially through the air, are enjoying them.

Since pass attempts were first recorded as a statistic, there has only been one player to throw more than 695 passes during an NFL regular season.

That player, Matthew Stafford, threw 727 passes for the Detroit Lions back in 2012.

His record seemed like one that would be difficult to break, seeing that the next best attempt was only 691 passes.

But with the new NFL rule set, offenses are exploiting opposing teams’ pass defenses and throwing the ball more now than ever.

There are four quarterbacks on pace to throw more than 696 passes this season, which would have them all ahead of everyone except Stafford in 2012.

Andrew Luck is on pace to throw 768 passes this year, seeing that he has been averaging about 48 pass attempts per game. This would give him sole possession of the pass attempts in a season record, crushing the previous mark.

Quarterbacks are not the only ones thriving this season, as Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen is on pace for what could be the greatest season for an NFL receiver in the history of the league.

Thielen is averaging almost 119 yards per game, putting him on pace for nearly 1,900 yards in the

(TNS) Adam Thielen has become one of the league’s best wideouts this season.

season, just short of Calvin Johnson’s record season back in 2012 when he had 1,964 yards during the year.

Not only is Thielen chasing the record books with his yardage totals, he also has 58 receptions through only six games thus far, putting him on pace for 154 receptions for the year, which would boost him over Marvin Harrison’s record of 143 receptions in a season.

It is very clear that the NFL is changing into a completely offensive league, with most of the production coming through the air.

It will be interesting to see if the NFL will scale back on its rules for defensive players to try and even out the game or if it will stick to its plan of making the NFL a safer league in hopes of reducing concussions, keeping it around for many years to come.
