RAINN Day hopes to shower students with abuse knowledge

By SAMANTHA FRENCH Contributing Writer S.M.French@iup.edu

Each September, the Haven Project and the Alice Paul House host RAINN Day in the Oak Grove. This year’s RAINN Day will take place September 25 from 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

The Rape Abuse Incest National Network (RAINN) is the nation’s largest anti-sexual assault association and the inspiration behind Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s annual RAINN Day. Umbrellas featuring sexual assault statistics will be displayed around the Oak Grove, as well as walkways decorated with sidewalk chalk for attendees to see.

RAINN Day is made possible by its

almost 100 volunteers.

“People usually think to respond negatively to these assaults,” Nadhirah Norman (senior, english and nursing) said, “but we hope to send the message that the victims are not alone.

“People will always be there to help you and give support.”

Every two minutes, someone in the United States is sexually assaulted, according to the U.S. Department of Justice’s National Crime Victimization Survey. This adds up to almost 240,000 sexual assaults each year.

The Alice Paul House, a sponsor of RAINN Day, offers support to victims of sexual assault, domestic violence and other forms of abuse in the Indiana area.

Only 40 of every 100 rapes get reported to the police, according to the

Newman Book Sale

Alice Paul House Website. Of the reported rapes, 10 lead to an arrest, eight get prosecuted and four lead to a felony conviction.

“Three rapists will spend even a single day in prison,” the website said.

Peer educators will be present at RAINN Day to speak with students about sexual violence and hand out informational flyers.

“RAINN Day is our way of supporting this organization’s effort to educate campuses, support survivors and take a stand against sexual assault,” according to the RAINN Day page of IUP’s website.

Students seeking help, resources or education about abuse on campus can use The Haven Project, which is a bridge between the Alice Paul House and the university.

(Daniel Kirby/ The Penn) As part of Banned Books Week, a panel of IUP Professors discussed opinions on banning plagiarized books from library shelves.

Six O’Clock Series discusses banned book week

By LAREN ROSSE Contributing Writer L.T.Rosse@iup.edu

In coordination with the start of Banned Book Week, this week’s Six O’Clock Series was a debate about whether or not plagiarized books should be banned from the library at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

The panel of people who were speaking and debating consisted of Dr. Mike Sell, associate professor and director of bachelor of fine arts in English; Joann Janosko and Dr. Theresa McDevitt, librarians at the IUP library; Dr. Paul Arpaia, associate professor in the department of history and Alexi Lykissas, a graduate assistant.

At the start of the debate, each speaker presented a statement on the topic of plagiarized books and their place in the library.

After each speaker presented, the debate was opened up to the audience, and audience members could make statements and ask questions.

The first speaker was Sell, who pointed out that the IUP library currently carries four books written by Bert

Cardullo that were plagiarized. He went on to talk about Cardullo’s record of plagiarized works and how he had been wrongfully republishing his own works.

Sell, upon discovering Cardullo’s plagiarized material, requested that all of his books be removed from the IUP library.

“Cardullo has stolen reputedly and egregiously from his fellow scholars and has been recognized by universities and presses,” he said. “Anyone using his books for scholarly purposes will compound those crimes. Cardullo will benefit materially from citations of his work. When you’re a scholar, when you get cited by somebody else, there are programs that tally it. The more times you’re cited, the more prestigious you are considered.”

The next speaker, Janosko, defended the library’s decision not to ban the books. Jonosko stated that the library does not label books and will not label books.

She also said that they do not condone plagiarism by keeping the book on the shelves, but they do not pull or ban books. By not pulling the books off the shelf, the library is upholding the Library Bill of Rights, according to

HARASSMENT

• Imani Cortijo, 21, of Chester, was cited for harassment regarding an incident with his roommate at their residence in the 900 block of Oakland Avenue Sept.

1 at 3:33 p.m., according to borough police. Video surveillance was obtained showing Cortijo physically harassing his roommate.

For over 21 years;

DISORDLERLY CONDUCT

• Borough police observed William Quinn II, 23, of Pittsburgh, and Bryan Vrobel, 23, of Punxsutawney, fighting in the 800 block of Philadelphia Street Sept. 13 at 2:18 a.m. According to borough police, Quinn and Vrobel were transported to the police station and issued citations for disorderly conduct and public drunkenness.

• Michael Hadfield, 23, of Spring City, and Malik Shabazz Bennett, 23 of Limerick, were charged with simple assault, harassment and disorderly conduct Sept.

10 at 2:24 a.m. as a result of an altercation inside Wolfendale’s bar, according to borough police.

Janosko.

The people who need to carry this are the publishers and the editors,” Janosko said, “because they let that information get through.”

The third speaker of the evening, Arpaia, discussed an issue of plagiarism in his field of study. Arpaia first mentioned how all knowledge must be credited to other people.

Arpaia went on to mention a document published on H-Italy which was written by an Italian historian. The document was put into question by a professor at Cambridge University who found that none of the historian’s work was his own. After a trial, the author of the document apologized and gave credit where credit was due.

The last speaker was Lykissas, who talked about the different ways plagiarism could be avoided. Lykissas mentioned websites such as turnitin.com and IThenticate.com that can help students not to plagiarize, knowing that most cases of plagiarism in students are accidental. This technology will help students to know how to properly cite sources and avoid plagiarism.

After all the speakers presented their points, the discussion was opened to the audience. Students asked the speakers questions and brought up points about the topics discussed.

One student in particular, Margret Gagel, (junior, operations management) stated her opinion when the topic of labeling the plagiarized book was brought up.

“You keep saying it’s just one library, but is that any excuse not to do something if it’s the right thing to do?” Gagel asked. “If it is decided that yes, it is the right thing, why not do it? Even if it’s just a library, why is that one step not worth taking?”

Other banned-book week activities include the banned books read out on Wednesday and the English Graduate Organization workshop Thursday.

Wesleyan will force fraternities Apple increasingly reliant upon success of iPhone

By JULIA LOVE to admit women

By KATHLEEN MEGAN THE HARTFORD COURANT MCT

HARTFORD, Conn. – Wesleyan President Michael Roth has announced that the university’s residential fraternities must admit women and become “fully coeducational” over the next three years.

Roth and the university’s Board of Trustees president, Joshua Boger, made the announcement in an email Monday after a weekend retreat with the Board of Trustees.

The decision comes after two highprofile lawsuits alleging rape in fraternity houses and after the Wesleyan University student government called on the administration last spring to force fraternities to go coed or give up their houses.

Kate Carlisle, spokeswoman for Wesleyan, said, “This is a change that Wesleyan has been thinking about for years,” and is not directly linked to any particular incidents.

“The move to coeducation is really all about inclusion,” Carlisle said. “It’s all about equity and very much in keeping with Wesleyan’s tradition of equity and progressive leadership on gender equity and issues like this.”

In their email, Roth and Boger said they “recognize that residential fraternities have contributed greatly to Wesleyan over a long period of time, but we also believe they must change to continue to benefit their members and the larger campus community.”

“If the organizations are to continue to be recognized as offering housing and social spaces for Wesleyan students,” the email continued, “women as well as men must be full members and wellrepresented in the body and leadership of the organization.”

Carlisle said the university, which is in Middletown, Conn., will work closely with the residential fraternities to ensure that the transition is as smooth as possible.

Carlisle said the administration also has several new policies that will be implemented immediately to make the fraternities safer.

Representatives of the university’s two residential fraternities now in operation – Delta Kappa Epsilon and Psi Upsilon – could not be reached immediately Monday.

However, T.J. Blackburn, a member of DKE, said last spring that if the fraternity went coed, it would lose its charter and have to be shut down.

Blackburn, who was also president of Wesleyan’s Inter-Greek Council last spring, said that the national organiza-

tion for DKE doesn’t recognize coed groups.

“Coeducation is essentially a death penalty,” Blackburn said at the time.

Fewer than 100 students live at the university’s residential fraternities. Earlier this month, Wesleyan declared a third residential fraternity, Beta Theta Pi, off-limits to all students, when a student was seriously injured when she fell from a third-floor window. Carlisle said that student is in stable condition at St. Francis Hospital and Medical Center.

At the time of the fall, Roth said in an email that he had “lost confidence in the ability of the fraternity members to manage social and residential activities at the house and abide by university policies.”

The university has said that Beta will remain off-limits to students for at least the rest of the academic year, but the school is open to considering a plan from the fraternity on how it would operate to meet expectations for student residential life.

Wesleyan now has two coeducational residential fraternities: Alpha Delta Phi and Eclectic. It also has two additional fraternities and one sorority without residences.

Last spring, the Wesleyan Student Assembly called on the administration to force the residential fraternities to go coed as an attempt to reduce the incidence of sexual assault on campus and to address the gender inequity of allowing large campus social spaces to be controlled by all-male groups.

Nicole H. Updegrove, who graduated from Wesleyan in May but was president of the Wesleyan Student Assembly last spring, said at the time that she kept hearing stories from women on campus about them feeling “uncomfortable, vulnerable and unsafe in fraternity spaces. From a gender equity standpoint and a safety standpoint, I thought this proposal made a lot of sense.”

Roth said in his email that over the summer he heard many views on the topic from Wesleyan alumni, students and faculty.

“Some have urged that we preserve the status quo; others have argued for the elimination of all exclusive social societies,” Roth and Boger wrote in their email.

Wesleyan has had a strained relationship with fraternities over the years. In a high-profile claim, a Wesleyan student said she was raped in the common room of Psi Upsilon fraternity during a party in May 2013. In March, the woman filed a federal lawsuit against Psi U., claiming she was assaulted during a party that was “wildly out of control.” Her assailant was expelled from Wesleyan.

SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS MCT

Across the Bay Area and beyond, the Apple faithful rose before dawn Friday, lined up on the cold, hard concrete and then forked over hundreds of dollars _ all so they could be first to own the iPhone 6.

What they might not have realized is that Apple needs them just as much as they feel they need the latest versions of its iconic phone.

Seven years after its debut, the iPhone has become the lifeblood of Apple.

The pocket-size powerhouse already drives more than half of the company’s sales, and that figure is likely heading north.

Outfitted with the larger screens that consumers crave, the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus sparked record pre-orders last week and flew off the shelves Friday.

With sales for the rest of Apple’s gadgets largely flat, the company’s fortunes will rise and fall with the iPhone, analysts say.

As Colin Gillis of BGC Financial put it: “Apple is the iPhone company.”

It’s an ironic turn for a company that began as a computer maker determined to be known for more than its flagship Mac. Apple dropped “Computer” from its name in 2007, the year the original iPhone was released, to cement the shift

to a broader array of personal electronics.

To be sure, the iPhone is a great device to lean on _ it yields huge profits for Apple, and the global smartphone market is red hot.

Nevertheless, analysts say, companies generally try to draw their sales from various products to hedge against risk.

“It’s dangerous to have all your eggs in one basket,” said Roger May of Endpoint Technologies Associates.

What’s more, growth in the smartphone market is increasingly coming from the lower end, but the iPhone is getting pricier. The iPhone 6 Plus starts at $299 with a two-year contract _ $100 more than Apple’s marquee device last year.

“If the premium space slows down, that would be negative for Apple because they are so dependent on the iPhone,” Gillis said.

Yet for some consumers, Apple must simply name its price. The company announced that it received a record 4 million pre-orders for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus on the first day they were available, twice the volume it reported for the iPhone 5.

Some of those sales may be coming at the iPad’s expense.

As smartphones expand and tablets shrink, analysts suspect that many consumers will not see the need to lug both devices around.

The iPad Mini seems particularly

vulnerable, measuring 7.9 inches diagonally, compared with the 5.5-inch display of the iPhone 6 Plus.

Yet Apple probably isn’t afraid of cannibalizing sales of the Mini, said analyst Gene Munster, noting that the company gleans much more profit from sales of its premium iPhone.

“They would rather sell you one iPhone 6 Plus than an iPhone and an iPad,” said Munster, who is a managing director at research firm Piper Jaffray.

And strong iPhone sales could bode well for other gadgets in Apple’s portfolio. The iPhone is designed to work best with other Apple devices, perhaps enticing consumers who start with the smartphone to rack up more products.

After introducing the latest iPhones last week at a flashy event in Cupertino, Apple executives rolled out Apple Pay, a mobile payments service, and the Apple Watch, a timepiece that tracks users’ fitness.

Yet despite the new offerings, the iPhone’s dominance doesn’t seem to be letting up anytime soon.

The Apple Pay service is built into the latest iPhones as well as the smartwatch.

And Apple Watch users must have an iPhone on their person to take advantage of most of the timepiece’s features.

“You can’t have either of them without the iPhone, plain and simple,” said Ramon Llamas, an analyst at technology research firm IDC.

Florida court shuts down diploma mill business at request of federal regulators

By LINDSAY WISE

McClatchy Washington Bureau MCT

WASHINGTON – A U.S. District Court in Florida on Friday shut down a diploma mill business that federal regulators say earned more than $11 million selling fake high school diplomas online.

The court’s order, which came in response to a lawsuit filed by the Federal Trade Commission, puts a temporary stop to business operations of Diversified Educational Resources LLC, based in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., and Motivational Management & Development Services Ltd., based in Nogales, Ariz.

Owners of both companies – Maria T. Garcia and Alexander Wolfram – also are named as defendants in the lawsuit.

Using the names “Jefferson High School Online” and “Enterprise High School Online,” the alleged diploma mill charged consumers $200 to $300 for “official” and accredited high school diplomas, according to the lawsuit.

But students who try to use the diplomas to apply to college, get a job or join the military discover that the

documents “are virtually worthless,” the FTC’s lawsuit states.

When students seek refunds, they’re often turned down, the suit alleges.

Messages left at a corporate number listed on websites for both Diversified Educational Resources and Motivational Management & Development Services were not immediately returned on Friday.

“These defendants took students’ money but only provided a worthless credential that won’t help their future plans,” Jessica Rich, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, said in a statement.

The FTC’s suit asks the court to shut down the business permanently and requests compensation for consumers.

Florida Attorney General Pam Bondi also announced Friday that her office was suing Diversified Educational Resources in Broward County circuit court for violations of state law after receiving more than 100 consumer complaints about the phony diplomas.

Jefferson High School and Enterprise High School are registered with the Florida Department of State but op-

erate from Arizona with a virtual office in Broward County, Fla., in an alleged attempt to make it appear the schools are located in Florida, the attorney general’s lawsuit states.

Both online programs involve “no coursework, instruction, textbooks or reference materials,” the lawsuit alleges.

The only requirements are that students complete a one-minute experience survey, an essay and a 100-question multiple choice test in order to obtain a diploma, which is shipped within five days, according to the suit.

The lawsuit charges that the test is rigged: The 100 online questions are structured so that students “are essentially guaranteed” to answer at least 61 percent of the questions correctly.

With four possible answers to each question, the test gives students four chances to answer correctly, so that “students can select every answer choice until they choose the correct response,” according to the lawsuit.

If a student answers incorrectly, the suit alleges, the test will “provide customers hints to assist them choose the correct answer.”

Obama lauds Secret Service as probes reveal alleged intruder’s focus on White House

By LESLEY CLARK

McClatchy Washinton Bureau MCT

WASHINGTON – President Barack Obama expressed confidence Monday in the Secret Service, as authorities launched inquiries into how an armed man made it to the front door of the White House, a man with hundreds of rounds of ammunition in his nearby car and an alleged history of interest in the executive mansion.

As the Secret Service and Congress launched an investigation of security after the intruder, armed with a knife, scaled a fence and bounded into the White House, Obama praised the Secret Service during an event in the Oval Office, saying he was “grateful for all the sacrifices they make on my behalf and on my family’s behalf.”

His expression of support came as a federal prosecutor revealed that investigators found more than 800 rounds of ammunition in the car of the accused intruder, Omar J. Gonzalez, 42, along with a machete and two hatchets.

In a federal court proceeding, Assistant U.S. Attorney David Mudd said that Gonzalez’s “preoccupation with the White House and accumulation of a large amount of ammunition in apparently a short period of time represented a danger to the president.”

Authorities pointed to other ties between Gonzalez and the White House.

On Aug. 25, Mudd said, Secret Service officers questioned Gonzalez when they saw him near the White House with a hatchet stuck in his pants. They released him after searching his nearby car and finding only camping gear.

And he was already under indictment in Virginia, accused in an incident two months ago in which he also had a sawed-off shotgun, two powerful rifles, four handguns and other guns and ammunition in his Ford Bronco – as well as a map of Washington with the White House and the Masonic Temple in Alexandria, Va., circled.

Obama, who had left the White House for Camp David 10 minutes before Gonzalez jumped the fence Friday evening, was “obviously concerned” about the incident but expressed “complete confidence” in the Secret Service, White House press secretary Josh Earnest said. Gonzalez was apprehended inside the White House, a location that is “not acceptable,” the Secret Service said in a press release.

The situation is the latest embarrassment for the agency and its agents, some of whom were implicated in a prostitution scandal in Colombia in 2012. Two officers were removed from Obama’s detail after allegations of misconduct last

year and three were sent home in March during a presidential trip to the Netherlands after they were found intoxicated.

House Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa, R-Calif., said Monday that he invited Secret Service Director Julia Pierson to testify at a Sept. 30 hearing.

He said the “significant security breaches reveal our weaknesses as well as our response capabilities to our nation’s enemies.”

The service is reviewing the incident and will look at whether more staffing is needed and whether the building’s physical security needs to be increased, Earnest said.

Officials are reportedly considering expanding the White House’s security perimeter beyond the gates that surround the complex and screening tourists before they can get into the area.

Earnest would not say if the White House endorsed such an expansion, but he did note that just outside the front gate is Lafayette Park, “among the more prominent First Amendment zones in the country.”

Guarding the White House – one of the most popular tourist destinations in the nation’s capital – is “complicated business,” Earnest said.

Thousands of visitors tour the historic building daily, it serves as a “large office building” for hundreds of staffers and journalists who work there and it serves as home for the president and his family.

The review began Friday night and is expected to be conducted with “a sense of urgency,” said Earnest, who acknowledged that any change in security arrangements could be complicated by the number of agencies that have jurisdiction in the area, including the Secret Service, the U.S. Park Police and the Metropolitan Washington police department.

Obama was briefed on the incident “multiple times” Friday and updated over the weekend, Earnest said.

Among the issues to be reviewed are why agents did not release the service’s trained dogs on the intruder and the status of the unlocked front door of the North Portico _ where presidents traditionally greet heads of state arriving for formal dinners.

Those doors are also often used by tourists who tour the White House, as well as White House staffers, Earnest said.

“I can tell you that after Friday night’s incident, that when the door is not in use, that it will be secure,” he said.

The Secret Service also has beefed up foot patrols near the fence line of the White House complex, deployed

additional surveillance and stepped-up training for officers, Earnest said. An increased presence at the White House could be seen Monday, including an officer standing on the front steps of the North Portico.

Earnest said he expected a “pretty broad look at a wide range of White House security procedures to ensure that the Secret Service is accomplishing their mission of protecting the president and the first family.”

Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson said he planned to review the findings of the review with Secret Service Director Pierson and the White House, but he cautioned against jumping to conclusions.

“I encourage all of us to not rush to judgment about the event and not second-guess the judgment of security officers who had only seconds to act, until all the facts are in,” Johnson said.

He noted that the Secret Service this week is responsible for protecting 140 heads of state or government convening at the U.N. General Assembly in New York City.

“Last month the Secret Service provided protection for over 46 world leaders who convened in Washington for the Africa Summit, and it did so flawlessly and without incident,” Johnson said.

“There is virtually no other protection service in the world that could accomplish these things.”

‘Yes means yes’ bill clears Calif. Legislature

By KATY MURPHY THE OAKLAND TRIBUNE MCT This following editorial appeared in The Oakland Tribune on Thursday, Aug. 28.

Yes-means-yes should replace nomeans-no as the standard for sexual consent – or the lack of it – on California's public and private college campuses, the Legislature decided Aug. 28.

It sent to the governor Senate Bill 967, which would require all colleges taking student financial aid funding from the state to agree that in investigations of campus sexual assaults, silence or lack of resistance does not imply a green light for sex, and that drunkenness is not an acceptable defense.

"It does change the cultural perception of what rape is," said Sofie Karasek, an activist who has fought for changes in UC Berkeley's practices. "There's this pervasive idea that if it's not super violent then it doesn't really count."

California's unique legislation comes amid a national movement demanding solutions to a problem that has plagued campuses for generations.

In the past two years, a well-organized and savvy network of college students and alumni – and the U.S. Department of Education – has challenged colleges to do more to

Opinion

prevent attacks, educate students about consent, support rape victims and discipline offenders, as federal anti-discrimination laws require.

Gov. Jerry Brown has until Sept. 30 to sign the bill and generally does not comment beforehand.

"If the governor signs it, this will lead the entire country, the nation," said the bill's sponsor, Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, who called the approach a "paradigm shift."

The "affirmative consent" standard in the bill makes everyone responsible for ensuring in advance – verbally or non-verbally – that a sexual act is desired.

The traditional no-means-no standard, the bill's supporters argued, unfairly burdens victims by making them prove they had clearly conveyed that they did not want to have sex, but that it happened anyway.

The legislation does have its critics. A Los Angeles Times editorial said it would be "extremely difficult and extraordinarily intrusive to micromanage sex so closely as to tell young people what steps they must take in the privacy of their own dorm rooms."

But the bill's proponents say those who think seeking consent is awkward, unrealistic or mood-killing miss the point.

"If I'm with another person, I always

check in to make sure they're comfortable," said Meghan Warner, a Cal junior who founded Greeks Against Sexual Assault and leads training on consent.

"It doesn't have to be like, 'Hello, will you sign this bedroom contract?'" she said. "It's an ongoing conversation."

Still, some are uneasy about the legislation and argue the existing legal definitions of rape should suffice.

The new rules will lead to "too many punitive situations" for young men, said a spokesman for the San Diego-based National Coalition for Men. The American Council on Education also has expressed concern. "I think that one needs to understand that both 'yes' and 'no' have specific meanings, but that they aren't always going to be expressed quite so clearly when there are young people who are engaged in activities," said its general counsel, Ada Meloy.

But some say that even if imperfect, the legislation sets an important standard: knowing – not guessing – whether your advances are desired. "It gives you less of an excuse to say, 'I didn't know,'" said E. J. Morera, a Cal freshman.

Does the prospect of being unjustly accused – and disciplined – under such a policy make him nervous? "I feel like if it makes you nervous," he said, "I think you're doing something wrong."

Penn EDITORIAL

Watson speaks for feminism Feminism is a term that has globally expanded since the 1920s, bringing women out of the kitchen and into the working force.

Frankly, it has brought peace, justice and humanity to our society, integrating women into the world.

Emma Watson, otherwise known as Hermione Granger in the “Harry Potter” series, was named a United Nations Women Goodwill Ambassador over summer.

Watson spoke at the UN Headquarters in New York Saturday urging men and boys to join the fight of equal rights for all, regardless of gender.

Most actresses at the age of 24 are worried about their roles in the next upcoming movie or TV show, but Watson finds herself defined as a woman trying to make a difference through her talents and powerful voice.

“I started questioning gender-based assumptions when at eight. I was confused at being called ‘bossy,’ because I wanted to direct the plays we would put on for our parents-but the boys were not,” Watson said, according to NDTV Movies.

Watson discussed in her speech how the word, “feminism”, has, in recent days, become an unpopular word. She furthermore evaluated that feminism has become commonly associated with man-hating and stressing that this evaluation needs to be stopped, immediately.

In her speech, she discussed that all genders should be concerned with the outcomes of the negative outlook on feminism for their children, sisters and future generations to come. She stressed that not only do women need their freedoms, but men need equality too.

Watson being an influential member of society feels that she needs to voice her opinion and use her influence to do something for the world and her fellow friends and family.

Feminism is often overlooked or pushed under the rug as bigger issues are put at the forefront of the agenda in many politician’s eyes.

We have come a long way from when men went out to work and women would take care of the children, but the issue of equality in the work place and freedom of a powerful voice are still currently relevant.

Watson concluded her speech with an influential quote from Edmund Burke: “All that is needed for the forces of evil to triumph is for good men and women to do nothing.”

Psychic medium, IUP alumna delivered positive vibrations to students and IUP community

By CASEY KELLY Staff Writer C.E.Kelly@iup.edu

More than 150 students and community members crowded both the seats and aisles in Johnson Hall Saturday night for a spiritual reading by Kitsy Higgins, a psychic medium and Indiana University of Pennsylvania alumna.

The turnout was much greater than Higgins was expecting at 7 p.m. on a Saturday night in Indiana. Many people were even turned away due to the room becoming too full.

Before the reading, Higgins told about her life after graduating in 2003, how she became a medium and her memorable experiences during readings.

She also gave advice to young people when dealing with the spiritual world.

“Stop wishing the present away,” Higgins said. “That life will come. Focus

on the moment.”

Several audience members were able to connect with lost loved ones through Higgins.

Grandfathers, grandmothers, mothers, fathers and even one audience member’s late husband were said to be present at the reading.

While she has only been actively working as a psychic medium for two years, Higgins said she has felt the presence of spirits in her life for many years now.

Higgins said she only allows spirits in “God’s white light” to connect with her.

She explained that spirits can only connect with vibrations that match their own. Therefore, because she emits positive and loving vibrations, only spirits who also emit positive and loving vibrations are able to speak with her.

“I’m not just giving a reading,” Higgins said. “I’m providing evidence. I’m

allowing you to see how present these spirits are. How else would I know your grandmother had red, curly hair? And that’s for someone in this room.”

The Paranormal Society of IUP hosted the event. President Sam Cooper (junior, geology) said this was the first time they had a medium come to IUP. “We definitely weren’t expecting this many people to come out,” Cooper said.

“It’s awesome though. We’re hoping to have another event like this in the spring or next fall.”

Anyone interested in joining PSIUP can contact Cooper or the faculty adviser, Dr. Laurel Black. The club meets every other Monday at 7 p.m. in Keith Hall, room 137.

Higgins said she is more than willing to come back to IUP and the surrounding area. More information about her upcoming events can be found on her website at www.revkeh.com.

Name: Christopher Chabrier

Year at IUP: Sophomore

Place of tattoo on body: Left pectoral

What the tattoo is: “Music is power,” written on a music staff and placed on top of a heart with headphones and scattered music notes. Chabrier said that the shoulder tattoo and chest tattoo were done at different times and are separate pieces.

REASON FOR GETTING THIS TATTOO: “I wanted to put music closest to my heart as possible. If I could picture my heart, it would have headphones on it.” Chabrier said that everyone has his or her own thing, and he wants to show everyone his.

“The botttom half was four, and the top half was like a six.”

Has it interfered with jobs or the workplace?

“No.”

Has anyone outright shown disapproval of your tattoo?

“No. My parents weren’t cool with it until I actually got it.

Now they are cool with it.”

Are there any funny stories linked with this tattoo?

Chabrier said that he posted on Twitter looking for someone to draw his tattoo. A girl on campus tweeted back, and she sketched his idea. He really liked it and went with it.

“I see her walking around all the time, and it’s funny because she drew my tattoo.”

New organ gives IUP a reason to appreciate the instrument’s capabilities at concert

By ANDREW MILLIKEN Lead Wet Ink Writer A.P.Milliken@iup.edu

The inaugural recital on Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s new organ was performed Sunday by the head of organ studies at the famous Curtis Institute of Music as a way to showcase the instrument’s capabilities.

Alan Morrison, who is also the head of the organ department at Westminster Choir College of Rider University, proved that the new instrument IUP received – essentially for free – is a quality, concert-worthy organ during the performance.

Morrison demonstrated the instrument’s versatility in his program, performing works from the great Johann Sebastian Bach, 19th-century French music and, to close the afternoon, contemporary works by living, American composers.

“Music from all periods can work on this instrument given careful selection,” Morrison said. “I wanted to showcase as many ‘colors’ as possible while also sampling a large variety of repertoire from different eras and countries.”

While Morrison took to the organ quite well, he also expressed the good impression made upon him by IUP’s

facilities and faculty as a whole.

“I was very impressed with the music building and studios,” he said.

“I was most impressed with the collegial faculty, who apparently set a wonderful example for the extremely polite, courteous and well-mannered student body I encountered.”

While the organ is not the largest nor the loudest in Indiana, its capabilities were certainly not hindered by its lack of volume during Morrison’s performance.

Morrison started the afternoon with a quick, lively work by the popular Bach, demonstrating the clarity of sound offered by not only the instrument, but the space in which it was being played.

A charming work by one of Bach’s cousins followed, and he closed the opening, Baroque portion of his recital by pulling out all the stops – literally and figuratively – with Carl Philipp Emmanuel Bach’s “Fantasia and Fugue in C Minor,” a dark and stormy piece full of drama and tension.

He continued the recital by performing a work which Morrison said was quite special to him, as he had performed it every Mother’s Day for many years and at the funeral of Fred Rogers of “Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood.”

The piece, a movement from Charles Marie Widor’s “Symphonie Gothique,” was a peaceful, tender way to show off the various colors of sound Morrison mentioned earlier.

The American music on the program was some of my favorite music I have heard at an IUP recital.

Morrison described the first piece as “nothing but a hoedown,” and the lively, fun atmosphere of the piece is not typically associated with the organ.

The recital was about more than hearing quality music on a quality instrument, however.

Concert organ music is not the most accessible genre, and having an instrument of this caliber right on campus will hopefully breathe some new life into secular music written for an instrument so often only associated with sacred music.

Christine Clewell, director of organ studies at IUP and the coordinator of the event, said that Morrison is “a compelling artist,” and expressed delight in announcing the arrival of such a distinguished musician.

Morrison has recorded several standards of the organ repertoire, all of which can be purchased on iTunes.

Hawk Walk promotes Indiana County unity

By JESSIE LIST Staff Writer J.L.List@iup.edu

On Tuesday, the Indiana County police force and community members join together to talk with the residents and students of Indiana University of Pennsylvania about the town’s unity during the fifth-annual Hawk Walk.

Hawk Walk is a day when students of IUP, as well as volunteers from the neighborhood, welcome newcomers to the town go door to door and hand out informational flyers and pamphlets about events in Indiana.

“It is a welcome-to-the-neighborhood kind of program for the campus and community,” said Betsy Sarneso, assistant director of Greek life and student engagement at IUP and one of the head Hawk Walk organizers. “It’s all about strengthening community relations.”

This event came about after neigh-

borhoods in the State College, area as well as towns in Boulder, Colo., and Austin, Texas, participated in similar programs and experienced significant success.

“Communities hosting neighborhood walks have enjoyed safer, cleaner and more inviting neighborhoods,” according to a Hawk Walk press release.

Indiana is reaping these benefits as well.

Sarneso noted some of the changes in Indiana since the Hawk Walk started.

“There is now more approachability between residents,” Sarneso said.

“People know each other on a firstname basis, and there is just a lot of care going on. There is a better awareness about where we live and who lives around us.”

Although not all residents of Indiana County are IUP students, it is still important to speak to those who live off campus and acquaint them with

their neighbors.

“For students living in Indiana, it is often their first time living off campus,” Sarneso said. “The walk gives them a chance to learn about what goes into living in a community.

“Often, students think that when they’re renting a house, they have four other roommates and that is it. But you have to remember that you are surrounded by others who aren’t all student renters. They learn how to be aware of their surroundings.”

But Indiana residents are not the only ones benefitting from this communal event, as student volunteers also get to have a learning experience.

“Volunteers receive exposure and interaction with fellow participants,” Sarneso said. “It is a great way to learn about how Indiana coexists and the great benefits that come from coexisting.”

Opinion: Apple’s U2 album release invades privacy

By ANDREW METRI Contributing Writer A.E.Metri@iup.edu

As everyone was expecting the iPhone 6 – and apparently iPhone 6 Plus – to come out, very few could’ve expected that privacy as we knew it would also change.

At the Sept. 9 press release of Apple’s newest creations, fans of both technology and music got a little more than they bargained for when the highly successful band U2 released its latest album, “Songs of Innocence,” on iTunes through iCloud to half a billion people, according to verge.com.

It was reported as the largest album release in history, all in a matter of seconds, according to today.com.

The debate begins by asking the

question: Is it right for Apple or U2 to add content to our phones without permission?

If you’re a fan of U2 and excited for the release of the album, congratulations on the free album.

But if you’re a fan of privacy and what goes on your phone – which costs upwards of $500 – you might hope this type of “surprise” doesn’t happen too often, if ever again.

In a world where we have passwords, security codes and locks on just about every personal possession we own, the last thing we need is for a multi-billion dollar company like Apple, or one of the most well-known bands in the last two decades like U2, to interfere with that privacy.

I have nothing against them incorporating technology to release

the album since we get all our music by downloading them nowadays anyway. I mean, when was the last time anyone actually went to the store and spent $13 on a CD? The issue here isn’t about the $13: It’s about not informing anyone about it ahead of time and waking up with 11 new songs that weren’t there the night before.

For some people, that privacy – or lack thereof – is very important, and for it to be invaded like that seems not only wrong but also disrespectful to those who value their privacy.

What starts out as an album release party could eventually lead to new pictures and videos being added to our phones, and we probably won’t even know until we check our pictures or

videos ourselves because, again, there is no pre-warning message that lets us know this type of content is coming to our phones.

There’s a line between promoting to the public and force-feeding to the public. And in the instance with U2, they crossed that line by just downloading every song on their album without the consent of any of the owners.

The maneuver was definitely creative, and as a fan of originality, you have to respect the effort to put their brand out there.

But there are better, safer ways to do so without invading hundreds of millions of people’s privacy. As a fan of music, I hope they find success in their latest project; but as a fan of my privacy, I’d also like to know that my phone doesn’t get

anymore of these “free gifts.”

With social media being at an all-time high and our voice as a society being louder than it has ever been before, Apple has heard the criticism and displeasure from consumers and has created a site for those who wish to delete the album.

With every partnership – such as the one between Apple and U2 – there comes a large investment in which one must pay to secure such a historical moment in both technology and music history.

The New York Times reported that Apple paid $100 million to get the rights to release the album, plus an undisclosed royalty fee to the band. While it may be nice to secure those rights, the right that Apple forgot to secure was our right to privacy.

Women’s soccer captures three of last four with OT win IUP has four shutouts, including defeats of Shippensburg and Pitt-Johnstown, to start season

By CASSIE PUTT Staff Writer C.L.Putt@iup.edu

Roughly two weeks into PSAC play, the Indiana University of Pennsylvania women’s soccer team raced to a 4-1 start.

The Crimson Hawks shutout University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown 2-0 and Slippery Rock University 1-0, won against Seton Hill University 2-1 and suffered an unlucky loss against California University 0-2.

On Sept. 10, IUP SOCCER hit the road to rival Pitt-Johnstown. Action in the first half was jolted forward only nine minutes into the game.

Taylor Vladic (senior, criminology) scored her first goal of the season with an assist by forward Kiersten Zerbe (sophomore, exercise science).

“It felt awesome to score, and it pumped me up for the rest of the game,” Vladic said. “It felt great to be able to put my team up 1-0.”

The first half continued with relentless shots from both teams, six from IUP and two from Pitt-Johnstown.

With only minutes to spare until the whistle blew for halftime, Victoria Crawford (freshman, business), assisted

by Brandie Bryant (freshman, athletic training), added another goal to the scoreboard with a brilliant header into

the net, making it her fourth goal of the season.

Crawford said she was “relieved because we kept pounding shots at goal, and I was happy to finally get one in the back of the net.

“I like to win and give 110 percent,” she said.

“I just like to try my best and carry on my role as a forward by trying to score and get as many opportunities as possible so we can win the game.”

The second half of competition was somber, even with both teams getting plenty of shots on goal.

Jessica Printz (sophomore, athletic training) played the entire 90-minute game with three saves.

As the final whistle blew, IUP celebrated yet another shutout for the season.

“Our mindset [to win] was to keep playing well and to keep improving, and it was a goal to keep our streak going,” Vladic said.

Three days after IUP’s third consecutive shutout, the Crimson Hawks played Seton Hill Sept. 13.

The Crimson Hawks were down 0-1 in the first half and experienced a game full of penalties, including five yellow cards.

Unaccustomed to the ball being in the back of their own net, IUP rebounded in the second half of the game.

Within nine minutes, a corner kick

from Brittney Kuhns (senior, exercise science) sent a shuffle of offensive players to the front of the net, leading to a game-tying goal by Cassidy LeDonne (freshman, accounting).

Mackenna Miller (freshman, criminology) followed the shot on goal to help give the Crimson Hawks a 2-1 lead.

Blocked by Seton Hill’s goalkeeper, Lexie Palluconi’s (freshman) shot rebounded off the keeper’s hands, and Miller quickly followed the rebound, striking the ball into the back of the net.

Once again, Printz played the full 90 minutes of action, saving a total of eight shots on goal.

“I really enjoy being able to play a full 90 minutes,” she said, “and I know that Coach had confidence in my abilities as a goalkeeper.”

“It was extremely exciting,” she said, “and it really helped to build my confidence for the upcoming season.”

The first loss IUP suffered in the PSAC was dealt on California’s home field Tuesday, leaving the Crimson Hawks with an overall record of 4-1 in the conference.

The women were outshot 13-3, with Cal making two of those shots. Cal also had the advantage of nine corner kicks.

Cal relentlessly showered Printz with shots throughout the entire match, giving her five saves.

Four shots were taken in the second

half by the Crimson Hawks, yet three of the strikes flew wide right of the goal.

The first loss of the season was not a matter to be taken lightly and allowed the Crimson Hawks to take a step back and see what can be improved for future competition.

“We could’ve stepped to the ball sooner and also followed our marks on all crosses and corner kicks,” Printz said.

As the week full of rivalry came to a close, IUP matched up against Slippery Rock in an overtime game Saturday.

Within the 96th minute of the game, Kuhns knocked a forceful header past Slippery Rock’s goalkeeper, finally giv-

ing the Crimson Hawks another “W.” The winning goal came after a cross from Crawford as she sprinted down left field and found Kuhns on the right side of the net.

It was a tough battle, as Slippery Rock controlled most of the first and second half, giving them the shot advantage of 14 with eight on target.

Printz posted seven saves on the day and her fourth shutout of the fall season.

Crawford and Kuhn’s are now tied for the league leads in goals.

IUP is back on the field Wednesday as it squares off with Shippensburg.

Crimson Hawks back on track after 32nd consecutive win over Lock Haven

By CODY BENJAMIN Sports Editor C.J.Benjamin@iup.edu

It wasn’t necessarily the prettiest game for Indiana University of Pennsylvania football Saturday, but that didn’t FOOTBALL matter to the Crimson Hawks.

A week after suffering its worst loss of the Curt Cignetti era, IUP held on to an early lead to top Lock Haven Uni-

Sports

versity 21-16 and improve to 2-1 on the season.

Despite two turnovers, the Crimson Hawks withstood a late comeback attempt by the Bald Eagles, limiting Lock Haven to 286 yards of total offense.

Aside from two interceptions, IUP was practically the opposite of its opponent on the offensive side of the ball, too, piling up 195 yards on the ground and extending its lead to 18 points early in the second half of the contest at Hubert Jack Stadium.

Running back Luigi Lista-Brinza

(freshman, kinesiology health and sport science) was once again the standout for IUP, topping the 100-yard rushing mark for the second time in three weeks. The No. 1 back in a rotation that now also features fellow freshman Chris Temple (accounting), Lista-Brinza was responsible for IUP’s first two touchdowns, scoring on a pair of first-half runs.

Perhaps just as vital to IUP’s win was the team’s defense, which rebounded mightily from an uncharacteristically porous showing in Week Two. Racking up 12 tackles for loss and preventing the

September 23, 2014

Bald Eagles from capitalizing on turnovers, the unit was headlined by sacks from Myles Catlin (sophomore, undeclared) and Matthew Mowad (freshman, kinesiology health and sport science).

Quarterback Chase Haslett (graduate, sports management) helped Lock Haven claw its way back into the game – thanks to a pair of second-half interceptions – but IUP’s “D” stepped up to prevent the Bald Eagles from stealing the lead. Additionally, Haslett connected with wide receiver Drew Carswell

(senior, criminology) for a seven-yard touchdown early in the third quarter.

Although the win – IUP’s 32nd consecutive victory over Lock Haven – was hardly the 42-0 drubbing it put on the Bald Eagles in 2012, it at least sets the Crimson Hawks back in the “W” column – a grand feat in itself for the team, considering the sudden struggles of IUP against Kutztown last week.

IUP is next set to return home Sept.

27 as they play host to Mercyhurst University for a 4 p.m. kickoff in their annual Hall of Fame Game.

Women’s volleyball closes weekend with win over Shippensburg

By BRITTANY ARENT Staff Writer B.M.Arent@iup.edu

After Lauren Hester (redshirt junior, speech-language pathology and audiology) was absent for medical reasons last season, she proved to be invaluable to her team this past weekend, helping her program put some wins under its belt.

Indiana University of Pennsylvania women’s volleyball traveled to Millersville University on Friday to take on Lock Haven University and Millersville for the Pennsylvania State Athletic Con-

ference (PSAC) East/West Crossover.

The Crimson Hawks lost 3-0 to Lock Haven, with the scores of 25-14, 25-12 and 25-22. Lisa Kissell (junior, nutrition and chemistry) had seven kills, Lindsay Moeller (sophomore, early childhood and special education) had 17 assists and Joie Hrapla (junior, marketing and fashion merchandising) had 13 digs.

“We gave our opponent too many points by committing errors on our side of the net,” Kaitlyn Palmer (sophomore, biology and pre-med) said. “We have

complete control over the errors we make as a team.”

Hester had six kills by the end of the match against Lock Haven, but that wasn’t what made her noticed for the day.

She had 18 kills, three aces and two blocks against Millersville to help IUP win 3-2.

The first set was won by Millersville 25-19, but IUP came back to win the next two sets, with the scores being 2512 and 29-27.

Millersville came back and won the

fourth match 25-23, but IUP was able to win the last set 15-10 to win it all.

Kissell had 11 kills, Katie Miller (freshman, anthropology) had 48 assists and Hrapla had 15 digs.

With a record of 1-1 for the weekend, the Crimson Hawks’ next stop was to Shippensburg University on Saturday to play the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown and Shippensburg.

IUP lost three sets to Pitt-Johnstown.

The scores for the first and second sets were 25-12 and 25-17.

The Crimson Hawks fought towards the end with the last set’s scores at 2624. Elizabeth Sova (senior, hospitality management) had seven kills and five blocks, Miller had 18 assists and Hester had 12 digs.

The team ended the weekend with a win against Shippensburg.

Coming in strong, IUP won the first set 25-17 before losing the second set 25-21.

The Crimson Hawks came back in the third set for a 27-25 victory, and they held the lead most of the set.

Shippensburg took the lead 18-17.

There were seven more lead changes and seven more ties from that point on.

Palmer and Hester finished the set with kills from each player.

“I was focusing on making each one of my contacts sharp and staying disciplined on defense,” Palmer said.

“I wanted to make sure I was doing my part so that I could help the team succeed.”

The fourth set was won by IUP by a score of 25-18.

Hester had 16 kills with two aces, and Sova had 14 kills with two blocks.

Lily McWilliams (sophomore, nutrition and dietetics) had 12 kills, two aces and four blocks, while Miller had 45 assists and three players – Hrapla, Palmer and Miller – had more than 20 digs each.

The Crimson Hawks, with a 6-5 overall record and 2-2 conference record, will play at home this weekend, taking on California University of Pennsylvania on Friday and Seton Hill University Saturday.

IUP tennis star Timko strives for success on and off the court

By VAUGHN DALZELL Staff Writer V.S.Dalzell@iup.edu

With 143 career wins, Tanya Timko (senior, psychology) enters her final season as a Crimson Hawk, looking to lead her team and to climb the list of all-time great tennis players at Indiana Univeristy of Pennsylvania.

Timko, of Cannonsburg, grew up in a family full of athletes. Her dad was a college quarterback, her mother was a gymnast, her aunt was an Olympic gymnast and her two sisters were both Division I athletes.

You could say that being a top-notch athlete runs in the Timko family.

As fall arrives, Timko will be focusing on her individual season.

During the PSAC tournament at West Chester University held Friday and Saturday, she fell in the semifinals to Saoia Gomez 7-5.

Timko, however, is looking forward to the rest of the season

and the spring, when the team starts competing rather than each player representing herself at tournaments.

Timko has high hopes for this season.

“My goals are to be the best I can be by setting goals and achieving them,” she said. “I also want to be a leader on and off the court while trying to have the best GPA.” Timko, who went 23-6 as part of the No. 1 doubles tandem and was named to the 2014 Capital One Academic All-District 2 at-large team, is also a serious student.

Last year, in addition to being named the PSAC West Tennis Athlete of the Week on two occasions, she won the PSAC GPA award, which she was presented with before tournament play began.

“It was a really cool award to win and something I am proud of,” she said.

After college, Tanya plans on attending graduate school with her 3.97 GPA and furthering her psychology degree.

IUP is ranked No. 2 in the region behind rival school California University of Pennsylvania.

But Cal U can be beaten, Timko said.

Her favorite memory at IUP was when she beat a Cal U player and showed her team that they can dethrone Cal U of that No. 1 ranking.

“I love challenges,” Timko said. “Cal U is always a challenge, so I look forward to playing them every time, and you have to give it your all to beat them; so, it is always something to strive for.”

When rankings come out for individuals, Timko should be rated very highly – possibly the highest in PSAC. However, Timko focuses on her own game and tries not to compare herself to others.

“I try not to focus on others,” she said. “I am not the best at everything, but I give it my all when I am on the court. I do not focus on rankings because you should never underestimate your opponent just because of a ranking.”

Timko’s highest ranking was 19th nationally last year and first in the region and PSAC. Timko advanced to the quarterfinals of the ITA Atlantic Regional Championships in Erie Saturday and Sunday.

Controversy swirling around Atlanta Hawks general manager

By KYLE MCDONALD Contributing Writer K.A.McDonald2@iup.edu

Atlanta Hawks general manager Danny Ferry has taken an indefinite leave of absence in the midst of the racially charged controversy surrounding his team.

In June, the Hawks ownership group – led by majority owner Bruce Levenson, co-owners Michael Gearon Jr. and Sr., Ed Peskowitz, Todd Foreman and CEO Steve Koonin – held a conference call to discuss signing potential free agents. During the call, Ferry repeated offensive remarks about Luol Deng in a scouting report, including comments about how Deng “has African in him.”

The meeting then led to the discovery of an email penned by Bruce Levenson in August 2012 to then-new GM Ferry, complaining to the owners of the team’s poor attendance. In the email, Levenson articulated that an “overwhelming

black audience” may have “scared away the whites,” and that there aren’t enough wealthy black fans to build a strong base of season ticket holders. Levenson also brought up the high number of black cheerleaders, the abundance of hip-hop music at the games and even the fact that “the kiss cam is too black,” among other racially insensitive comments.

This issue comes on the heels of Clipper’s former-owner Donald Sterling’s lifetime banishment from the NBA, after he was discovered making racist comments. This prompted Levenson to hire the Atlanta law firm Alston & Bird to conduct an internal investigation.
