Update: Stabber released on $50,000 bond

By JENNIFER BUSH Lead News Writer J.L.Bush@iup.edu

An Indiana of University of Pennsylvania student stabbed and slashed another man from his car window in the parking lot by Monroe Muffler on Sept. 14.

William Rivera, 21, has since withdrawn from the university and was charged with aggravated assault and tampering with evidence.

The victim, Giovanni Brown, was standing by the car’s passenger window when he was stabbed by Rivera.

Brown then proceeded to the nearby Papa John’s, where an ambulance was

called.

Brown was taken to Indiana Regional Medical Center and later taken to Allegheny General Hospital in Pittsburgh.

Rivera was released from District Judge Guy Haberl’s office on a $50,000 bond and was sent home with his parents to their Virginia home.

Michelle Fryling, executive director of communications and media relations at IUP, said that any threat pertaining to the IUP community is taken seriously.

Fryling also said IUP is prepared with various plans of action in order to react to different situations that may arise.

IUP Greek members made a pledge against hazing

By MARY ROMEO Staff Writer M.E.Romeo@iup.edu

In accordance to National Hazing Prevention Week at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, members of Greek life have pledged to prevent hazing.

Posters have also been implemented all over the Oak Grove to inform students on this issue.

While hazing is widely associated with sororities and fraternities, sports teams are also known to participate.

IUP has a very strict policy in regards to hazing. Violating this policy results in a one-semester probation and a sevenweek social or intramural suspension.

Many IUP students that participated in the Hazing Prevention Week in the Oak Grove felt very strongly about hazing.

“I am completely against hazing, Sigma Chi brother Nectarios Georgopoulos (junior, criminology) said.

“It’s not what we come together for,” Georgopoulos said. “We come together to make friendships, a bond and to better the community, our academic standing and ourselves. Hazing won’t allow us to achieve any of that.”

President of Alpha Gama Delta, Brittany Hogg (senior, hospitality management) spoke some of her thoughts on hazing.

“I think people have the wrong idea about Greek life and hazing, which is why we’re participating in Hazing Prevention Awareness to put an end to it,” Hogg said.

Hazing is universally misconstrued as a tradition, which is one of its many myths.

“I just think hazing is stupid because

• While investigating a noise violation at a residence in the 600 block of School Street Sept. 20 at 12:24 a.m., non-resident Daniel Millogo, 22, of Norristown, obstructed police and reportedly pushed an officer. Millogo also reportedly scratched an officer and damaged a fence while resisting arrest. Millogo was charged with simple assault, resisting arrest, obstructing administration of law, disorderly conduct, criminal mischief and harassment, according to borough police.

if we want someone to be a part of us, why would we be mean to them?” another member of Alpha Gama Delta, Erica Weinelt (senior, hospitality management), said.

“The new member process is about getting to know our sisters, and hazing is no way to bond with them,” Weinelt said.

Don Crane (junior, criminology and pre-law) said that while his organization – Campus Crusade for Christ – is not a fraternity, the group is similar. Crane went on to say that hazing has no place in an organization.

“Hazing is just a way of demeaning a person’s integrity and character,” he said. “What significance does hazing have? There is no positive aspect to it at all. You’re supposed to be with people that build you as a person, not bring you down.”

DRUG VIOLATIONS

•Melissa Taylor, 22, of Indiana, was found to be in possession of heroin and heroin paraphernalia in the 00 block of South Sixth Street Sept. 10 at 9:38 p.m. Taylor was charged with possession of a controlled substance and possession of drug paraphernalia, according to borough police.

their judgment about this situation.”

Every incident is treated on a caseby-case basis, and if the university thinks that any part of the IUP is in danger, they will notify everyone via text, email, web, television and radio.

“It happened so close to campus,” Ashley Hartung (senior, journalism) said, “but I still feel safe at IUP. There are plenty of things on and around campus to keep me safe.”

Students are encouraged to participate in the emergency notification system, which can be done through the IUP website under the university police website.

Weather alerts and notifications are also available on this website.

Preview: Governor’s Arts Awards

By URSUS FEDIN Contributing Writer U.W.Fedin@iup.edu

Indiana University of Pennsylvania will host the Governor’s Arts Awards Sunday with Governor Tom Corbett as the guest speaker.

The awards recognize nominated individuals with a variety of arts-related backgrounds. Nominees may receive an award in a multitude of categories, such as the Distinguished Arts Award, the Patron Award, Artist of the Year and Innovation in the Arts – also known as

the Outstanding Leadership and Service – Award.

Past winners have included some big names, like Andrew Wyeth, Michael Keaton and M. Night Shyamalan.

However, the most appropriate reason for the awards being held in Indiana might best be explained by Pennsylvania’s Council for the Arts chairperson, Susan Corbett.

“As the birthplace of Jimmy Stewart,” Corbett said in a press release, “the first recipient of Pennsylvania Governor’s Awards for the Arts, Indiana holds special meaning for this occasion.”

Prior to the ceremony, the greater

Indiana community will be engaging in a weekend-long cultural festival that encompasses much more than just performance art.

Starting at 11 a.m. Saturday, visitors may visit The Artist’s Hand Gallery to check out discounted works in the “Artists’ Open Studio Tour Exhibition,” a collection of 11 Indiana-area artists’ works. The Artist’s Hand Gallery also features a self-tour of local painters’, potters’ and sculptors’ workshops, which allows for a behind-the-scenes look at how they create.

The culture doesn’t stop there, though. After patrons finish learning

about art and artists in Indiana County, they may return to The Artist’s Hand for a “Banned Books Slam.”

“The Culture Capital of the World encompasses more than just the performances and paintings, you know; it also takes into account the literature, the spoken word,” Sandy Trimble, manager of The Artist’s Hand, said.

Then, starting at noon on Sunday, the spotlight changes to 35 students’ award-winning visual artworks from the spring’s Seventh-Annual Youth Arts Celebration.

During this, both the Oak Grove and Cogswell Hall will be serenaded

by a combination of three high school choirs, three IUP ensembles and two other Indiana-area bands.

Dr. Ryan Beeken, director of the three IUP music ensembles, described what will be happening.

“There’s no ‘theme’ or anything like that,” Beeken said. “Its’ a collage of different styles and types of tunes.

People will hear everything from traditional choral music ... to Miley Cyrus’s ‘Wrecking Ball.’”

When all of these festivities are concluded, the evening will be capped off with Corbett honoring both the university and the award’s recipients in the

Hot new iron exhibit now open

By LAUREN ROSSE Staff Writer L.T.Rosse@iup.edu

The new exhibit, “Irons: Functional Tools to Art Objects,” opened Saturday at the University Museum in Sutton Hall.

The exhibit features 200 irons, along with items from the fashion merchandising collection and paintings from the University Museums permanent collection.

The majority of the exhibit is the history of ironing. From 2009-2011, a 1963 graduate of Indiana University of Pennsylvania donated 1,000 irons and ironing-related objects to the university.

The 200 on display in the exhibit are all from this donation.

“The purpose of the exhibit was not only to show the irons, but to put everything in context for everyone to understand from how ironing happened with the Vikings from the very beginning until the current day when most things are wash and wear and most people don’t iron anymore,” Laura Krulikowski, a member of the Museum board, said.

From the fashion merchandising department, the exhibit has dresses with pleats, frills, tucks and things that would have needed to ironed by hand and that would require special irons.

One example of this is a machine for pleats in which the article of clothing

would be cranked through a machine to press the pleats.

This exhibit is important to the university because of the donation made by an IUP alumnus. The exhibit is also important to IUP’s history because of the involvement with the fashion merchandising department.

The department started out as a part of the home economics, which was the first Bachelor of Science degree awarded by the Indiana State Teachers College, now IUP. One section of the exhibit is devoted to the history of the program at IUP and other organizations on campus that were related to home economics.

The exhibit has four curators, including: Rhonda Yeager, department of art; Janet Blood, fashion merchandising program; Julie Gomboc-Turyan, independent scholar and Krulikowski, IUP Libraries.

The exhibit will have three events before it closes Nov. 8. There will be a steam-punk-themed gala on Friday; Artist Willie Cole will visit IUP on Thursday, Oct. 16 to discuss the use of irons in his art and on Wednesday, Oct. 29, Blood is holding a discussion titled, “Odd Irons: Ingenuity and Use.” The gala on Friday is called “Hot Iron: A Victorian Industrial Fantasy.”

The event is black-tie optional, but guests are encouraged to come in steampunk attire. With the amount of reservations for the gala so far, this year’s is the largest response the museum has ever had. This response could be attributed to either the exhibit or the theme.

“We wanted something that would connect with irons,” Krulikowski said.

“It was suggested that we do steam punk. It’s newer, and a lot of people don’t know what it is. So they thought iron, hot iron and steam all fit together.”

IUP’s NAACP club presents a discussion panel covering Ferguson

By LOGAN HULLINGER Contributing Writer L.R.Hullinger@iup.edu

On Wednesday, Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s NAACP club hosted an open panel discussion regarding the recent rioting in Ferguson, Mo. The president of the club, Marcia Newman (junior, policitcal science), along with Vice President Turon Gaskin (geography and regional planning), and Secretary Miles Henderson (junior, international studies), organized the event to bring awareness to the racial issues that surfaced with the incident.

The panel consisted of Dr. Gwen Torges, assistant professor of political science; Dr. Malvin Jenkins, chairman of the department of developmental studies; Officer Michael Rayko of the Indiana Police Department and Director of Social Equity Dr. Pablo Mendoza.

Riots in Ferguson took place after Michael Brown, an unarmed local 18-year-old, was shot and killed by police officer Darren Wilson after an altercation involving the teenage suspect and his friend, Dorian Johnson, fleeing from the officer.

Chaos quickly arose, with family members – as well as community members – fighting for justice.

As turmoil continued, the riots became increasingly violent, according to many reports from sources such as Fox News and CBS. The question from the IUP NAACP club was: Is there a racial aspect to the story? This will vary from opinion to opinion; however, the normality of such occurrences is not well known.

Jenkins was far from surprised.

“I was troubled,” he said, “and I’m still troubled, that everybody made such a big deal about the [Michael Brown] case when African Americans are being murdered every day.”

The NAACP website states that African Americans are incarcerated six times more often than caucasians.

African Americans also make up one million out of the total 2.3 million jailed individuals in the United States.

The statistics show that African Americans have a clear disadvantage with the American justice system.

Rayko, however, emphasized that there is no specific racial targeting

Society is clearly divided on subjects that share likeness with the Ferguson protests; yet the aspect of race in the shooting refuses to be ignored.

Activists continue fighting for justice, and the issue is far from resolved in the minds of many Americans. Organizations such as the NAACP continue to attempt to shed light on the situation, pushing for an increased awareness of racism and the effects of it in the U.S.

among officers, at least in our area.

“When you put on your uniform as a police officer, you need to treat everyone the same,” Rayko said. “I try to base it on factual scenarios. If you stick to the facts, it will help you.”

Despite Rayko’s statement, millions seem to continue to blame the law enforcement.

“You need to look at the bias in the media to understand [the effects of media on the situation,]” Mendoza said.

Even with the large support behind Brown, hundreds of people rallied in favor of Darren Wilson, according to the Huffington Post.

Fundraising pages were initially created to aid the officer – despite the massive amounts of controversy surrounding the issue.

This enraged supporters of the deceased teen while also illustrating the different perspectives on such events.

Opinion

Penn EDITORIAL

Jeter’s principles could lead us a long way in life When Derek Jeter laces up his spikes for the last time Sunday at Boston’s Fenway Park, it will mark the end of an era 20 years in the making.

Jeter, the New York Yankees superstar shortstop, announced his intentions to retire at the end of this season back in February.

Since then, he’s been on a season-long victory tour of sorts, with each city he visits for the last time in his professional career offering him some sort of gift.

While the man dubbed “The Captain” will no longer be patrolling the infield for the Bronx Bombers, his legacy of hard work, patience and clutch hitting will surely live on.

Sports fans, even those Red Sox supporters and people who hate everything having to do with the Yankees, need to stop and applaud what Jeter’s career has meant.

He hasn’t had any allegations for cheating or domestic abuse, which nowadays is a rarity among our nation’s star athletes.

While he’s not the most gifted of hitters or the best fielder, Jeter made a career of grinding out at-bats and doing the best with his talents to get him by.

Few of us will go on to the major leagues and play in billion-dollar palaces built for stars.

We all, as college students, should strive for the real major leagues in the job market.

To attain this, we could all take a little bit of what made Jeter so successful by applying his principles to our ways of life.

Doing our best, working harder than the competition and being kind can go a long way in life.

And that’s just what Jeter has done his entire career.

“Obviously, you’re known for what you do,” Jeter said. “But you still want to be known as a good person. You’re a person a lot longer before and after you’re a professional athlete.”

We might not all make it to the Hall of Fame, but we can work hard and strive for greatness.

At the end of the day, is there anything else that we as a society could really ask for from ourselves?

Editorial Policy Hey, I know, let’s raise university enrollment

By MOSCOW-PULLMAN DAILY NEWS MCT

The following editorial appeared in the Moscow-Pullman Daily News on Thursday, Sept. 25.

As Ronald Reagan might have said in that breathy presidential voice, “There he goes again.”

Last weekend, Chuck Staben was officially recognized as the 18th president of the University of Idaho, its fifth leader in the past 10 years.

By the time he got all his academic regalia on it looked like a coronation.

But it was just an inauguration.

In his speech, he set out his goal to increase the enrollment of the University of Idaho by 50 percent within 10 years to about 18,000 students.

That would really bolster the UI’s claim to flagship status among Idaho

Opinion

universities, especially since the football team isn’t helping.

Besides increasing the number of students, that goal would lead to a lot more classrooms and professors on campus.

Together they’d need more housing of various types and would spend more on all kinds of stuff in town.

With the university comprising 50 percent of Moscow’s economy, that’s an aspiration a lot of local businesses and other residents can really get behind.

Growth at Washington State University is boosting Pullman’s economy.

That’s the sort of thing we’d like to see here, too.

But former UI President Duane Nellis, before he left for Texas Tech, also had an enrollment growth goal – 16,000 students by 2020. Little came of it.

And that’s making us a bit skeptical in Staben’s case.

We’ll remain so until we see some specifics on how he intends to make this happen.

It will require 5 percent more students each year, 2.5 percent a semester.

That’s about 300 additional students per semester, or about 27 additional students for each of the university’s 11 colleges every semester.

Relatively few Idaho high school graduates attend college. Many people want to raise that percent. But how will the UI attract them?

This isn’t all on Staben’s shoulders.

Not by a long shot.

If the UI is going to grow it’s going to be up to the deans, professors, administrators, some marketing gurus and deep-pocketed alumni.

The State Board of Education and the Legislature must participate, too.

But it will take a presidential kick in the curriculum vitae to get them all moving in roughly the same direction.

Banned Books Week celebrated at IUP

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

The students and faculty members of Indiana University of Pennsylvania held the annual Banned Books Read Out in the Stapleton Library Wednesday.

This event sought to celebrate books that have been taken from shelves across the world for containing taboo content.

IUP students and faculty members, including President Michael Driscoll, read excerpts from their favorite challenged books and discussed the reasons for their banishment.

Also discussed were consequences of banning books.

“When books are banned, people miss out on learning about other cultures,” said Dr. Tanya Heflin, an assistant professor in the department of English.

“They don’t get a taste of the rest of the world,” said Dr. Gian Pagnucci, IUP’s English department chair. “People also miss out on the chance to become critical thinkers. If you’re reading something you don’t particularly like, you

can just skip past it and focus on the other great parts of the book.”

In short, by banning a novel, “you are missing out on the heart of the book,” Heflin said.

Banning books not only prohibits a reader from learning about the world, but also from finding relatable stories.

“Banned books often contain subjects that people can relate to,” Meg Oldman (graduate, English) said. “For instance, there are a lot of LGBTQ books that have been banned that individuals might be able to identify with.

If these books are banned, they are not able to celebrate their own culture.”

Many of the commonly banned novels that were read at the read out include J.D. Salinger’s “The Catcher in the Rye,” Mary Shelley’s “Frankenstein” and Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird.”

However, there was no shortage of contemporary stories that made an appearance.

A passage of “Little Red Riding Hood” was presented after the idea of young Red Riding Hood taking wine to her grandmother caused a controversy.

Driscoll read an excerpt of a “Captain Underpants” book that had been banned for offensive language and its unsuitability for its intended age group.

But many believe that whether the novel was banished 50 years ago or five years ago, this doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be read.

“All of my favorite books are banned,” Oldman said. “They all taught me to be accepting and tolerant of people’s differences. I encourage everyone to read a banned book and embrace it, and if your favorite book is banned, check it out of the library anyway, and stick it to the man.”

A collection of famously banned books is currently on display on the first floor of Stapleton Library. Students are encouraged to check out any novels that peak their interest.

Autumn in Indiana is full of recognizable scents: falling leaves, pumpkin lattes, the new iPhone and the stench of one student who is using his Crimson Cash for Klondike bars instead of laundry.

Tamor Cleft (senior, penny counting) explained the origins of this unique life-style choice.

“Over the summer, I was watching TV with my grandma when a commercial came on,” he said. “It was the one with the song that goes, ‘What would you do for a Klondike bar?’ And I thought to myself, ‘Never washing my clothes is definitely something I would do if it got me some Klondike bars.’

“A better question would’ve been, ‘What wouldn’t I do for a Klondike bar?’” he said.

Cleft went on to say that his unconventional choice hasn’t significantly

changed his time at the Indiana University of Pennsylvania, nor has it damaged his social life.

“So what if I might smell a bit?” he said. “I don’t care that people don’t want to be around me. I don’t even care that people start crying like they’re cutting onions when they pass me. It doesn’t hurt my feelings because I’m not trying to get with anyone who isn’t named Klondike.”

However, some students have expressed concern with Cleft’s presence on campus.

“He hasn’t done laundry at all this year?” Mary Rhubarb (graduate, dairy management) asked. “Not once? Man, that’s gross. In my major, that’d break, like, 30 health violations.”

Other students, like Aggie Garfield (freshman, baking and candlestick making), have help to make Cleft get clean.

“I saw him sitting outside the [Provisions on Demand] at Wallwork Hall with all these flies swarming around

him, so I felt bad and gave him $5,” Garfield said. “Then I watched him walk into the POD with the $5 and come out with 3 more Klondike bars.

“And one was already half eaten,” she said.

Garfield wasn’t alone in her confusion concerning Cleft’s actions.

“That’s really weird,” said Chad Tolkien, manager of the POD at Wallwork.

“We don’t even sell Klondike bars.”

For now, Cleft remains confident and happy with his decision to use his laundry money for more of his favorite ice cream treats.

“The way I see it,” he said, “my Crimson Cash could be spent one of two ways. I could it use it to pay for my laundry and be clean, like most people.

Or, I could use it to be happy.”

Cleft chose happiness.

Saturday, Cleft was cited by university police for trying to wash the chocolate stains from his clothing in the Breezedale fountain.

Hawks search for hope at home Field hockey rebounds

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

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania Crimson Hawks (2-1) return home this week to face PSAC West opponent Mercyhurst College (0-3) on Saturday at George P. Miller Stadium.

The matchup will be the seventh between these teams, with IUP winning the last three matchups and FOOTBALL leading the overall series 4-2.

It will be a very special day for the IUP football program, as four former players will get inducted into the IUP Athletics Hall of Fame.

On the field, this is the opening contest of PSAC West play for both teams, and it figures to be an intense matchup.

12

Both teams play a physical brand of smash-mouth football and look to bring the pain upon their opponents.

Mercyhurst has some big-time playmakers on the offensive side of the football, starting with running back Brandon Brown-Dukes, who had some success against the Crimson Hawks in the contest two years ago. Brendan Boylan will start at quarterback and look to get the football to tight ends R.J. Miller and Jaquan Williams, who have accounted for over half of the Lakers receiving yardage on the team.

The Lakers defense is in the middle of the pack, statistically, but they have a lot of talent that will look to shut down IUP. Safety Colin Kimball, son of current Mercyhurst Athletic Director Joe Kimball, has made 22 tackles on the season and also has an interception to his credit. Head coach Marty Schaetzle sang the praises of his safety.

“Colin [Kimball] is an exceptional

football player and an exceptional student athlete,” Schaetzle said.

IUP has a 29-2 record in their last 31 division-opening contests. One of the losses was to Mercyhurst in 2009.

The Crimson Hawks have a balanced offensive attack. Freshmen running backs Luigi Lista-Brinza (kinesiology health and sport science) and Chris Temple (accounting) have shown lots of potential and are quickly becoming a dynamic one-two punch for IUP. Ackeno Robertson (redshirt sophomore, accounting), a first-year starter, will be a captain for the game, along with Kevin Clarke (redshirt sophomore, kinesiology health & sport science).

IUP head coach Curt Cignetti and his players are ready to return home, but he understands the task at hand will not be an easy one.

“I’ve got a lot of respect for [Mercyhurst],” Cignetti said. “I think they’re really well-coached.”

with first win of season

By JAKE ENDERS Contributing Writer J.G.Enders@iup.edu

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania women’s field hockey team marked its first tally in the win column Sunday, defeating non-conference-foe Lindenwood University 2-1 at George P. Miller Stadium.

The victory followed closely on the heels of the team’s lowest point of the season thus far, a 4-0 loss to Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference FIELD HOCKEY opponent East Stroudsburg University of Pe n n s y l v a n i a We d n e s d a y night.

“Everything we’re doing right now is a work in progress,” IUP head coach Gary Agard said.

“We’re making adjustments, [and] we’re adding players to different positions they have never played before.”

East Stroudsburg – ranked No. 6 in the country, according to a National Field Hockey Coaches Association poll – dominated play throughout at Miller Stadium. The Warriors (4-2, 3-1) opened the scoring less than three minutes into the game, then added to their lead at 18:56 on a shot that deflected past goalkeeper Darian Shuker (senior, business).

IUP’s defense remained a bright spot, as it only allowed three shots in the first half to a team that had averaged 25 per game entering the contest, but the Crimson Hawks had difficulty generating any sustained pressure on the East Stroudsburg net. The Warriors scored again early in the second half, then once more to ice the game on a goalmouth scramble with 8:23 remaining.

The Crimson Hawks came back strong Sunday, putting forth a sound performance to push their record to 1-4.

Agard said his team felt a sense of desperation entering the game.

“So, we just made some adjustments on the field, we played players in differ-

ent positions, and that was really a factor for us this time around.”

Shuker performed brilliantly in the cage for IUP, turning away a seasonhigh seven shots, including several difficult chances. Perhaps her finest moment came midway through the second period, leading 2-0, when she turned aside a long, screened shot and then deflected away the rebound from pointblank range. “[She] came up huge,” Agard said.

The Crimson Hawks drew first blood barely two minutes into the game when Ericka Griffith (sophomore, pre-physical therapy) took advantage of a loose ball at the goalmouth and knocked it into the net.

IUP widened the lead nine minutes later, thanks to a great individual effort

by Casey McGowan (senior, exercise science). McGowan evaded several Lindenwood defenders before distributing the ball to Gabriela Fraser (freshman), who scored from the doorstep.

For the remainder of the first half and the majority of the second, IUP’s persistent pressure in the offensive zone limited scoring chances for the Lady Lions (2-4). The game grew more interesting near the midpoint of the second half when a turnaround shot eluded Shuker and shrank IUP’s lead to 2-1.

Lindenwood threatened in the closing moments, but Shuker and her teammates were able to defend the cage and preserve their team’s first victory.

Agard attributed the improvement to an increased intensity from his players, especially in the middle of the field.

“We were coming up with critical tackles,” he said. “Our forwards were definitely more aggressive.”

IUP’s 0-3 conference record ties for last in the 11-school PSAC. Despite the poor record, Agard remains optimistic about his team’s fortunes.

“Today, we had a positive result, but we have to improve on that,” Agard said.

“I think that with those players playing in those positions right now, we definitely will improve throughout the remainder of the season.”

IUP tennis players reach quarterfinals at ITA Atlantic Regional Championships

By MICHAEL KIWAK Lead Sports Writer M.T.Kiwak@iup.edu

IUP’s field hockey team captured its first win Sunday.

(Nick Dampman/ The Penn)

Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s women’s tennis team did not go home from the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Atlantic Regional Championships empty-handed, as it saw players take victories in both the singles and doubles consolidation finals.

Raquel Gonzalez (sophoTENNIS more, management) stormed through the whole second day of the competition, earning a 4-0 record.

One of those wins was over fellow Crimson Hawk Katrine Gransoe (freshman, economics), who she defeated 8-5 to advance to the finals. Gonzalez’s day culminated

when she beat Raquel Cabero of West Liberty University, 8-5, to earn the consolidation singles title.

Gonzalez, who reached the quarterfinals of the PSAC Women’s Tennis Individual Championships, also teamed with Sophie Butland (sophomore, exercise science) to capture the doubles consolidation crown. The duo went 3-0 in the secondary bracket and won it all with an 8-5 win over Slippery Rock University’s Stephanie Fortier and Courtney Gallagher.

In other competition, the Crimson Hawks played two quarterfinal matches in the main bracket Sunday.

Tanya Timko (senior, psychology) got past the third round with a 6-4, 5-7 (10-5) victory over California University of Pennsylvania’s Lucie Rey. She experienced defeat to Mercyhurst University’s Adrianna Jeffress 6-4, 6-0 in the quarterfinals.

In addition to singles play, Timko

partnered with Luise Von Agris (freshman, management) in doubles play, and both advanced to the quarterfinals.

They fell to Cal’s Rey and Ramona Czakon, 8-6.

Regional play for the Crimson Hawks has now concluded. IUP will return to action when they travel to Morgantown for the West Virginia University Invitational Sept. 26-28.

By DEMETRI GEORGE Staff Writer D.George@iup.edu

Despite a 20-point loss to the Baltimore Ravens that had Steeler Nation ready to hit the panic button after two games, Pittsburgh now finds itself at 2-1. Let’s take another look at the Steelers’ stock.

Le’Veon Bell has had a great start to the season. He is slowly but surely creeping his way into the elite runningback group. While he did not find the end-zone last week, he racked up 147 yards, 81 of which came on one run.

Bell’s patience as a runner is impressive, given that he’s only in his second year.

Look for him to continue to perform at a high level.

The offensive line – as I said prior to the season – will be a strength for this team. After a shaky performance in Week Two, the unit responded in a big way. The Steelers rushed for 264 yards, and now – after three weeks – lead the NFL in rushing. If the offensive line

continues to dominate, this offense has the ability to finish in the top five.

On the downside, Lance Moore was signed in the offseason to help replace guys like Jerricho Cotchery and Emmanuel Sanders but only dressed for his first game last week after coming off a groin injury and saw just one snap on offense. Second-year player Justin Brown has also surpassed Moore on the depth chart. Certainly not the way he wanted to start his Steelers career, but the veteran will surely bounce back.

Jarvis Jones could also be on the decline if only for the fact he will be off the field. It looked as though things were starting to click for him, but a wrist injury against Carolina sent him to the injured reserve/designated to return list.

After surgery, Jones won’t be eligible to return until Nov. 30. The Steelers did sign James Harrison to help shore up the outside linebacker depth, and as Tomlin said, “there goes the neighborhood.” Jones, however, will have to wait to return to the lineup.
