Corbett hands out awards for top art honors, talks art education funding, tuition increases

By PETE SIRIANNI Managing Editor P.M.Sirianni@iup.edu

Gov. Tom Corbett stressed the importance of the arts after awarding five major honors in the 34th Governor’s Awards for the Arts in a ceremony Sunday at Fisher Auditorium.

The annual awards, which move around to a different city in the commonwealth every year, marked the first time they had ever been hosted at a college campus. Jimmy Stewart, the Indiana-born Oscar-winning actor, was the recipient of the first Distinguished Arts Award in 1980, which played a hand in why Indiana was chosen as the host of the event.

“I think everyone certainly enjoyed this tonight and this afternoon,” Corbett said. “But I think it’s always important to talk about the arts and make sure that we do everything we can to include arts for everybody, and that’s what this does.”

Corbett honored four artists and The Andy Warhol Museum for their excellence in Pennsylvania artistry.

Art education funding was a hot topic issue for the Fisher Auditorium crowd, receiving applause anytime it was mentioned by an award-winner.

Corbett blamed a lack of available money in the budget from the state’s pension problem – which was caused by “mistakes made in the past, not my administration” – as the reason why public

News

schools are cutting back on art education funding.

The state has to come up with $610 million of new money each year to cover expenditures, according to Corbett, which causes art funding to sometimes fall to the back-burner.

“Many of us would like to do more, but we have to take care of our responsibilities first,” Corbett said. “You hate to see arts coming after the fact, but to a certain extent, until we resolve this, they are.”

The Republican governor also acknowledged the rising tuition prices for college students nationwide, not just in Pennsylvania.

“We also have been, during my administration, trying to keep the tuitions, particularly in the state system

which is part of our system, keep them down, not see them go up radically,” Corbett said.

The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education approved a $99 a semester tuition increase for its 14 state schools in the 2014-15 academic year.

Funding from the state has been held steady for the last four years, according to a press release from PASSHE. “[Tuition costs] were going up quite a bit before I entered office, and we’ve been working very closely with the chancellor of the system of higher education to keep the demands down,” Corbett said.

“Again, part of that cost going up is the cost of faculty and administration and so forth. And that is also driven by the pension crisis.”

Awards presented at Governor’s Arts Awards

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

Sunday, many gathered in Fisher Auditorium for the Pennsylvania Governor’s Arts Awards, which was held at a college campus for the first time. “…Indiana University of Pennsylvania has a long history of supporting, nurturing and educating young artists and musicians, so it was only fitting to have it here,” said Susan Corbett, wife of Gov. Tom Corbett.

The prestigious award for the arts brings a spotlight to many talented artists across the Keystone state.

“Picking winners is a difficult process because there are so many talented artists in Pennsylvania,” Mrs. Corbett said.

Mrs. Corbett is chair of the PA Council of the Arts and said that she has been an art enthusiast since she was little.

Kicking off the program was IUP’s president, Dr. Michael Driscoll. Following his introduction was Rodney Ruddock, chairman on the Indiana County Commissioners. Rep. Dave Reed also welcomed the winners and all in attendance.

There were five different categories in which there were winners.

Robert Qualters, a Pittsburgh painter, installation artist and printmaker, was named Artist of the Year. Qualters worked as an assistant professor from

1976 to 1981 at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

The Andy Warhol Museum won the Arts Innovation Award and showed a short video of their new app, D.I.Y POP. With the app, anyone can make a silkscreen from their own pictures, just like Warhol did.

Jennifer Higdon won the Distinguished Arts Award. She is a composer who has become a prominent figure in contemporary classic music. Orchestras all around the world perform pieces she has made. Currently, she is writing an opera.

IUP graduate and Indiana lawyer Myron Tomb won the Leadership & Service award for his contributions to art education over his lifetime.

Mark E. Pasquerilla is the first winner from Johnstown and won the Patron Award.

Reading “The Red Coal” by Gerald Stern was Lewisburg Area High School student Elliot Davidson. He is the 2014 State Champion for the “Poetry Out Loud” contest.

Another student showcased was India Scott, of Blacklick Valley High School, who talked about how important art was to her and her school.

The awards ceremony ended with a piece that awardee Higdon composed, “Nocturne from String Poetic Echo Dash.” Gergana Haralampieva on violin and George Xiaoyuan on piano performed the piece.

Hula hoop club joins IUP campus

By SAMANTHA FRENCH SAMANTHA BARNHART the-penn@iup.edu

The Hoop Troupe, a group for hula hoop dancing, was recently created by three Indiana University of Pennsylvania students.

The founders, Jordan Snowden (junior, communications media and finance), Colleen Cunningham (junior, child development and family relations) and Devyn Marenger (junior, political science and pre-law), started the club in the hopes of sharing their new interest with other students of IUP. “We just want to spread our love of

hoop dancing,” Snowden said.

Hoop dancing is a new form of dance in which all body parts can be used as a surface for the hula hoop. The exercise burns seven calories per minute.

Cunningham explained how their interest in this style of dance came about.

“It is a form of dance we saw at a festival,” she said.

“It incorporates exercise to tone individual muscles and the ability to add your own personal style. There is no wrong way.”

The club currently has 40 members, and they will perform at the upcoming Hawk Rock show on campus.

DRUG VIOLATIONS

• Jesse Eisenhauer, 21, of Phoenixville, and Nathaniel Conroy, 21, of Leechburg, were charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia Sept. 18 at 12:05 a.m. when police went to their residence in the 1200 block of Philadelphia Street to conduct a follow-up to another incident that had occurred next door, according to borough police.

• Borough police responded to a call of a disorderly gathering in the 600 block of School Street Sept. 20 at 12:30 a.m. When they arrived, they noticed Stephanie Miller, 20, of Oil City, smoking marijuana and took her into custody. Miller was charged with possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and underage drinking, according to borough police.

Kafando, 19, of Erie, was charged with possession of a small amount of marijuana and possession drug paraphernalia when police searched his car after stopping him for driving at night without headlights on at Grant Street and Pratt Drive Sept. 22 at 8:26 p.m., according to university police.

DISORDERLY CONDUCT

• Borough police observed Samuel Finotti, 18, of Johnstown, urinating in public in the 400 block of South Seventh Street Sept. 19 at 11:39. While being detained, Finotti pushed an officer and attempted to flee on foot. Finotti was charged with resisting arrest, escape, disorderly conduct, public urination and underage drinking, according to borough police.

• Brady Ebersole, 18, of Indiana, was heard by borough police on patrol to threaten to shoot several people in the 200 block of South Seventh Street Sept. 6 at 1:43 a.m. Ebersole had reportedly threatened to shoot a witness after being denied access to a party. Ebersole was charged with terroristic threats, underage drinking, public drunkenness and disorderly conduct, according to borough police. Ebersole was detained by police, arrested and then lodged in the county jail to await arraignment.

DRIVING VIOLATIONS

• Borough police conducted a traffic stop in the 00 block of South Taylor Avenue after observing a vehicle go the wrong way down a one-way street on Sept. 1 at 2:23 a.m. The driver, Tiffany Barker, 23, was found to be under the influence of alcohol.

Barker was arrested for DUI and charged with DUI general impairment, DUI high rate and one-way roadways, according to borough police.

The vehicle then left the scene without notifying police or the owner. Anyone with information regarding the incident is asked to contact borough police at 724-349-2121.

HARASSMENT

• Sasha Slater, 21, of Renfrew, was charged with simple assault and harassment after an investigation by borough police of an active domestic dispute at a residence in the 00 block of South 11th Street Sept. 25 at 3:01 a.m., according to borough police. Slater was placed in the county jail. Kaleb Rock, 21, of Butler, was also issued a citation for harassment on information received, according to borough police.

CRIMINAL MISCHIEF

• A window on a storm door to a residence in the 500 block of Locust Street was reportedly damaged sometime between 8:30 p.m. Sept. 4 and 8 a.m. Sept. 5. Anyone with information is asked to contact borough police.

The Hoop Troupe encourages students who are interested in joining to come to their meetings every Wednesday from 5-6 p.m. in the Zink B Gym. Marenger said that everyone is encouraged to join.

“It’s easy to learn and worth it in the end,” she said.

Students interested in watching how the dances are done can check out videos on YouTube by typing in “Hoop Dance.”

The Hoop Troupe founders recommended the video titled “Hula Hoop Cam at Burning Man” in particular because it shows the actions of the hula hoop.

PTX military, community service fraternity helps veterans, betters community

By CASEY KELLY Staff Writer the-penn@iup.edu

Indiana University of Pennsylvania is the home of the last active chapter of PTX (Rho Tau Chi), a military and community service fraternity founded 21 years ago.

The co-ed fraternity has recently taken extreme measures to further their service to the community and support veterans.

The fraternity held a car wash Aug. 30 at Venice Pizza to help support veterans. PTX raised a total of $556 from the car wash, bringing their grand total so far to more than $1,066 so far.

Additionally, PTX assisted the Boys and Girls Club with the kids’ games and activities at a folk festival. The fraternity also completed a roadway cleanup on Sixth Street.

Most recently, PTX teamed with Venice Pizza at the Best Pizza Competition outside the Hadley Union Building Sept. 20 from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m.

“We helped run the pizza table for Venice Pizza from 11:30-4:00,” said PTX brother Cole Witherite.

“We had a little box in front of the table that people could just donate to for the veterans. I think we raised around $60.”

Witherite said he is unsure of the outcome of the competition, but that Venice Pizza agreed to donate a portion of their prize if they won the competition.

PTX requires their members to fulfill 15 hours of community service per semester while also maintaining a respectable academic standing at IUP. In addition to the aforementioned service projects, PTX has also worked with the Indiana County Humane So-

ciety, the Indiana County Community Action Program and the Wounded Warrior Project.

In the Fall of 2012, PTX co-hosted the first Warrior 5K Run at IUP with the Wounded Warrior Project, which raised over $1,300 for U.S. veterans.

Their work with the Community Action Program consisted of reorganizing food donations and sorting inventory pallets to make them easier to access in order to help the community.

“Our close-knit organization relies on Brothers and Sisters to watch out for one another, and the long lasting friendships that are built are some of the best memories you will take with you,” PTX’s website said.

Anyone who is interested in joining PTX is encouraged to contact a member of the fraternity and take part in their rush events at the beginning of every fall and spring semester.

IUP professor receives Communicator of the Year Award

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

An Indiana University of Pennsylvania journalism professor earned the 2014 Business Communicator of the Year Award from the Pittsburgh chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators.

Dr. Michelle Papakie accepted her award at the 35th Annual Golden Triangle Awards at the Sheraton Hotel at Station Square Sept. 24. The IABC seek nominees that promote professional business communications in southwestern Pennsylvania.

“I’m grateful that one of my military colleagues and fellow IUP alumna took the time to nominate me for this award,” Papakie said.

Senior Master Sgt. Judith McGrath, who was awarded her master’s degree in

safety science from IUP in August 2014, submitted Papakie’s package for consideration.

Papakie earned her bachelor’s degree in journalism from IUP and her master’s degree in geography and regional planning from California University of Pennsylvania three years later.

Papakie earned her doctorate in communications & information systems at Robert Morris University in 2002.

What started as volunteering for her son, Derek’s, school and sports activities, quickly blossomed into an array of volunteering and helping groups all across the board.

At IUP, Papakie is chairwoman of the journalism department and also teaches writing and public relations classes each semester.

This has been her second year as chair, but she has been teaching at IUP for seven years.

In her classes, she engages her students in civic activities whenever possible.

Her public relations classes meet and make media kits for potential clients in the Indiana Community.

“And to actually be selected and attend the celebratory dinner on my birthday – that was both humbling and exciting,” Papakie said.

“As part of my remarks, I invited all of the other award-winning public relations professionals in the room to come to IUP and speak to my classes and offer my students internships and jobs.”

Papakie also serves in the Pennsylvania Air National Guard as the Inspector General of the 171st Air Refueling Wing. This is her 28th year serving, and she is currently a lieutenant colonel.

She was deployed to Afghanistan in 2010 and served as the Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Program

Manager while there.

Owner and CEO of Prism Simple Solutions is another hat Papakie wears.

She started the public relations firm last year to help small businesses and nonprofit groups publicize their businesses.

Previously, she worked as Director of Public Relations for Chartiers Valley School District, Public Information’s Officer for the City of Pittsburgh Bureau of Police and the Director of Public Relations for California University of Pennsylvania.

Papakie is actively involved in many different organizations. Currently, she is a Brush Valley Township Supervisor, serving her fifth year of a six-year term.

She was elected to the Indiana County Republican Committee this year and is also an education officer for the Indiana Chapter of Toastmasters International.

On campus, she is involved in

groups like the Veterans Club, which she co-founded; the International Public Relations Student Society of America and the Sigma Kappa sorority – to name a few.

In 2011, Papakie completed 80 hours of training to become a certified crisis counselor and built friendships volunteering her time at the Alice Paul House.

“I hope when my students see this achievement,” she said, “they realize that they, too, can be recognized for hard work and dedication to their field.

“I’m always encouraging my students to bust out of their comfort zones and join local chapters of professional organizations like [Society of Professional Journalists] and PRSSA and Toastmasters International.

“Their participation in these groups will differentiate them from equally qualified candidates in the job market.”

IUP students take to the streets

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

Nearly 80 students from Indiana University of Pennsylvania bridged the gap with borough residents as they participated in the Into The Streets community action program Saturday.

The idea of Into the Streets is to help nonprofit agencies. This is the event’s 12th year, and events occur every semester.

Students from IUP collaborated with about 40 students from Upward Bound in the event on Saturday to help 15 different organizations.

Student assistant of the production, Kathleen Lackey, explained how the students help.

“Students go and help nonprofit agencies throughout the community,” Lackey said, “and they help finish projects that would otherwise go undone.

“And it’s nice to see students in a positive light rather than a negative aspect,” she said, “because sometimes that is shown.”

Kate Hopta, a graduate student, felt positively about the students’ involvement in the community through Into the Streets.

“It’s a great way for people to see IUP

students being involved and being a part of the Indiana community,” Hopta said.

Some of the tasks that the students completed were folding and organizing children’s clothes, landscaping, participating in food drives and moving furniture or other items.

“Phi Delta Theta was our biggest group today,” Hopta said.

“There were 25 guys, and some of them stayed almost an hour later to help, and they went to four different agencies.”

One of the upcoming events for the second semester is Treasures for Children – an event that helps people of all ages who are in need.

Tags are made with the person’s Christmas wish list and are hung on Christmas trees throughout campus.

The week before Thanksgiving break, the tags will be distributed to the volunteers, and the week after is when the toys will be purchased.

“It’s very fun and very rewarding,” Lackey said.

“I think it’s great for the students to be exposed to different agencies in the area and also different parts of town,” Hopta said.

“It’s really cool for them to see how their work impacts the community in a positive way.”

Mock budget-cutting exercise not productive

By THE WALLA WALLA UNION-BULLETIN The following editorial appeared in the The Walla Wall Union-Bulletin on Thursday, Sept. 25.

The state’s six public college and university presidents have grown weary of mock budget-cutting drills.

The presidents were asked by the state Office of Financial Management to create a budget based on a hypothetical 15 percent reduction in state funding.

The OFM, which answers to Gov. Jay Inslee, wants each university and college to name specific programs they would cut and put them in order of priority.

The situation seems to be close to a tipping point for the schools, the students and the parents who are footing the bills for college.

Bravo to the presidents for at least focusing attention on hypothetical budget cuts that serve only to irk state employees and those who benefit from state services. This problem needs to be addressed with stark reality.

University of Washington President Michael Young said he believes Inslee’s

Opinion

budget-cutting exercise was meant to send a signal that more reductions would be catastrophic.

The presidents politely – but firmly – declined.

They do, however, continue to rail against the cuts and note that critical classes will have to be eliminated.

Whether the public hears specifics or generalities, many people just tune out.

They’ve heard those cries before.

But forcing the schools to detail what would be cut and who would lose their jobs will cause serious problems.

Putting a target on the backs of employees is a horrible way to run a government.

It makes it tough for any organization to pull together during tough times.

Young and his colleagues at Eastern, Central, Western, WSU and The Evergreen State College are wise to keep the proposed cuts in general terms, at least until the Legislature gets serious about budgeting.

Unfortunately, despite signs the economy – and tax collections – are picking up, money is still very tight.

The state Supreme Court’s Mc-

Cleary decision mandating the Legislature fully fund basic education will likely prompt lawmakers to consider slashing higher education (and everything else) as they did during the Great Recession.

Lawmakers have to find a better way and ultimately establish a dedicated funding source.

For now, higher education – and the presidents – can only hang on during this very bumpy ride.

The universities and college have been getting short shrift on funding, and tuition has grown to an unreasonably high rate.

Washington now ranks in the top third of public college tuition costs and is in the bottom third in terms of government (taxpayer) subsidy.

Tuition rose 37 percent while state funds allocated to higher education were slashed by about 28 percent.

Only a decade ago the public picked up the tab for a University of Washington education.

It’s now down to a mere 30 percent.

Public educations aren’t all that public anymore, a fact that is limiting access to higher education to far too many qualified people.

Bring in the dancing lobsters

Amanda Bynes, beloved former child actress and star of Nickelodeon’s “The Amanda Show,” underwent her most recent arrest Sunday after she was discovered to be driving under the influence of a controlled substance.

This arrest follows a reckless endangerment arrest, car accidents, DUI arrests and “increasingly erratic behavior,” according to the Huffington Post.

Bynes was also placed in an involuntary psychiatric hold earlier in the year after setting a fire in the driveway of a California home.

With each arrest brings the age-old question: What is it that has to happen to these child-stars to make them go off the deep end?

Is it the fame?

The money?

The temptations that the Hollywood lifestyle can offer?

Or is it simply that 10 years old is much too early to have to start facing the pressures of living life under a microscope?

We’ve seen it happen before. Drew Barrymore, who found fame at the age of six for her role as Gertie in “E.T.,” “had her first drink at nine, began smoking marijuana at 10 and at 12 took up cocaine,” according to PEOPLE. By 13, she had twice undergone extensive drug rehabilitation treatment.

In Barrymore’s case, she was able to recover from her early-formed addictions and remain one of the biggest names in Hollywood to this day.

However, not every child-star who falls off the wagon is blessed with Barrymore’s Cinderella story.

“Home Alone” star Mucaulay Culkin became the highest-paid child star in history after making 10 films in a span of just four years, according to CNN. Culkin has struggled with substance abuse over the years and was most recently arrested Sept. 18 when he was pulled over for speeding, and officers discovered marijuana, Xanax and clonazepam – a potentially addictive substance used to treat anxiety and seizures – in his possession.

Culkin admitted to not having a prescription for any of the drugs.

We can only hope that our beloved Amanda will follow in the footsteps of the child-stars who have recovered from worse, and not those who have fallen from less.

Get well soon, Amanda. Please.

Career Expo gives students professional experience

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

Upperclassmen and graduate students of Indiana University of Pennsylvania have the opportunity to look into employment at a part- or full-time job or internship at the annual career expo.

Registration begins at noon, and from there, students are able to visit the Green Room.

Here, students can learn last-minute pieces of advice, such as how to hone their “elevator speech,” which is that crucial 30 seconds at the beginning of any interview when interviewees are asked to talk about themselves.

Also available are professional head-

shots – perhaps for a LinkedIn account – as well as fashion advice and gift bags containing interview-prepping items like lint brushes and shoe polish.

After leaving the Green Room, students have the opportunity to visit tables from recognizable employers like Verizon, CBS Radio and the FBI. Students plan to attend IUP’s career expo in the hopes of making connections.

“In business,” said Julia Lerner (sophomore, business), “who you know can be nearly as important as what you know.”

Students interested in attending the expo must type a resume prior to attending.

IUP’s Career Development Center is

available to help students with this step.

Students are also encouraged not to wear casual attire.

Jan Shellenbarger, coordinator of the expo, has a point on this.

“Business attire gives both [a] professional feel and appearance,” she said.

“And the employers like to see it when students show up in business attire.

“Goodwill has a whole suit set for $16; women’s came to $12 or $13 altogether,” Shellenbarger said. “You don’t have to spend a fortune to look good for an interview, and it’s important to know this when you’re first starting out in a career.”

The expo will be held in the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex Wednesday from 1 to 4 p.m.

NO RAMEN , NO PROBLEM

CHICKEN FAJITAS

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

It’s often hard for college students to get the nutrients they need to be healthy in the food that is easiest and cheapest to make.

It’s easier to eat more carbs, but finding ways to incorporate vegetables and protein can be simple as well.

In this chicken fajita recipe, you will get both protein and vegetables. Chicken breast is a great protein to use because it is healthier than red meats and is less expensive.

This quick and easy recipe tastes great and will make you forget why you ever ate ramen in the first place.

Start by cutting the onion, red pepper and green pepper into long strips.

Place the strips into a microwave-safe dish.

Next, mix the paprika, cumin, salt and pepper in a small bowl. You can also use a pre-mixed fajita seasoning to save time. Use just enough to coat the vegetables.

Sprinkle about half of the mixture on to the vegetables, saving the rest for the chicken.

After taking the chicken out of the package, clean the fillets with water and pat dry with a paper towel.

Place the cleaned fillets into the microwave-safe dish on top of the vegetables. Sprinkle the remaining seasoning on top of the chicken, coating it evenly.

Cover the dish and microwave for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, check to see if the chicken is fully cooked before taking it out.

If the chicken needs more time, keep microwaving it in one-minute intervals until it is cooked all the way through.

Once the vegetables and chicken are cooked, it’s time for assembly.

Place the desired amount of chicken and vegetables in a tortilla, then top with lime juice, sour cream and cheddar cheese.

How you assemble your fajitas is up to you. If you want a healthier option, use non-fat plain yogurt instead of sour cream.

You could also replace the tortilla with a piece of lettuce.

This recipe takes about 15 minutes to prepare and tastes great. It can be made in almost every kitchen because all you need is a microwave, making this a good alternative to ramen noodles.

IUP puts it all together in 41-7 win over Mercyhurst

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

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania Crimson Hawks (3-1) played their best game of the season on Saturday, defeating the Mercyhurst Lakers (0-4) 41-7 at George P. Miller Stadium.

After playing two straight road games with some mixed results, the FOOTBALL IUP Crimson Hawks returned home to an energetic crowd on a perfect day for football.

Drew Robinson received the opening kickoff for Mercyhurst University, but he fumbled the football after being walloped by Andrew DeGol (sophomore, management).

The Crimson Hawks did not waste much time after that, as true freshman running back Luigi Lista-Brinza (freshman, kinesiology health & sports science) scored an 11-yard touchdown on the first play from scrimmage.

Mercyhurst would counterpunch with a nice drive as Brendan Boylan connected with Jaquan Williams for a 47-yard completion. Mercyhurst was unable to capitalize, though, as Dylan Kondis missed a 36-yard field goal wide to the right.

“You have to make plays, and we’re not making them,” Mercyhurst head coach Marty Schaetzle said.

The Crimson Hawks scored 27 points – five of their six touchdowns of the afternoon – in the first quarter and took a stranglehold on the contest early on.

Chase Haslett (graduate, sports management) flared a 15-yard pass to senior tight end Brock DeCicco, putting IUP up by 20.

Haslett was efficient – perhaps more so than in any other game this year – on a day when his father, Jim Haslett, was in the stands to watch him play for the first time since his freshman year of high school. Jim is a graduate of IUP and currently serves as the defensive coordinator of the Washington Redskins.

“It was great having him out there,” Chase Haslett said, “and he completely supports me in everything I do.”

Lista-Brinza, who has gained more than 100 yards on the ground in three of the team’s first four games this year, highlighted the opening frame of scoring with an electrifying 41-yard touchdown scamper, his third of the first quarter. IUP would end the first half with a 34-point lead.

“I thought we were really sharp in the first half,” IUP head coach Curt Cignetti said. “I felt we took a major step as a team.”

Drew Carswell (senior, criminology)

caught a touchdown pass and was not surprised at the outcome of the game.

“I’m not surprised at all,” Carswell said. “We’ve got a good team in there, and I feel like we can only get better each week.”

It was also a great day for the IUP defense, as it allowed a season-low 146 yards. Brandon Brown-Dukes, who topped the 100-yard mark against IUP

in 2012, was held to only 16 yards on 14 carries. The defensive line was arguably the strongest unit on either side of the ball for the Crimson Hawks.

“We’ve got a really good front seven,” defensive tackle Karon Gibson (junior, hospitality management) said.

The front seven pressured the Mercyhurst offense all game long and held their three quarterbacks with a com-

versity of Buffalo, West Virginia University and the Crimson Hawks.

Leading off the tournament on Friday, the lone IUP singles victory came courtesy of Alanna McFail (junior, biology), who took down Cleveland State’s Aleksandra Golawska with decisions of 2-6, 6-1 and 6-2.

IUP was then paired against Cleveland State in Friday’s doubles matches, with the Crimson Hawks falling to the Vikings in all three contests.

On Saturday, McFail and Luise Von Agris (freshman, management), who advanced to the quarterfinals of the Intercollegiate Tennis Association Regional

Championships at Mercyhurst University, fell to WVU’s Lyn Yuen Choo and Yvon Martinez in a close doubles match, 7-6 (4-0). In singles action, Cleveland State’s Jana Schober took down IUP’s Raquel Gonzalez (sophomore, management), 6-4, 6-2.

Gonzalez isn’t far removed from her team-up with Sophie Butland (sophomore, exercise science) to capture the doubles consolation title at the ITA Atlantic Championships.

The Crimson Hawks were matched up against Buffalo in singles play on Sunday, the final day of the invitational.

McFail, Von Agris and Rachel Wood

(sophomore, criminology), however, represented IUP well, giving their opponents all they could handle.

In the end, Buffalo’s Division I squad was simply too formidable to defeat.

Although the WVU Pink Invitational marked the conclusion of tournament action for the Crimson Hawks, there are still matches to be played.

The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference dual matches begin Friday, and coach Larry Peterson’s team looks to bounce back after a tough weekend.

IUP will take on fellow PSAC members Kutztown University and Millersville University at Clarion University.

Wide receiver Drew Carswell (senior) catches a touchdown for IUP vs. Mercyhurst Saturday.

(Cory Kozesky/ The Penn)

bined 11 of 24 for only 117 yards passing.

“We have to use this game to get better and not worse,” Cignetti said.

IUP looks to get better with revenge on their minds as they travel to Edinboro University of Pennsylvania next Saturday to face the Fighting Scots.

Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m. at Sox Harrison Stadium.

IUP inducts 19 into Athletic Hall of Fame

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

While the Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s women’s field hockey team was competing against Kutztown University at George P. Miller stadium and the women’s volleyball team was taking on Seton Hill University in the Memorial Field House, the 19th annual Athletics Hall of Fame induction was taking place at the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex.

There were 19 inductees placed into the Hall of Fame at IUP this year, making the total 216 former athletes, coaches and administrators who have made an impact to the athletics program.

As announced by IUP Athletics in the spring, the inductees included Sue Brecko (women’s basketball), Jerry Clark (football and baseball), Marissa Dugan (softball), Terry Eisenhute (men’s golf ), Gene Epley (football), Pat Imbrogno (football), Jack Flavin (baseball), Trevor Gladden (men’s soccer), Scott Green (men’s track & field), Julie Hess (field

hockey), Ron McNabb (men’s basketball), Heather Packard (women’s swimming), Nick Pascarella (football), Dr. Robert Raemore (track & field), Sara Raschiatore (women’s cross country and track & field), Gregg Schmidt (football), Je’Mone Smith (football), Chris Villarrial (football) and Anthony Zambotti (baseball).

Brecko was a two-time All-PSAC first team selection on the women’s basketball team. She was the second all-time leading scorer by the time she graduated in 1987. Brecko is now ranked eighth all-time with points (1,299) and fifth all-time field goals made (546).

As a two-sport athlete, Clark was a three-year starter for not only baseball, but also football. He stole 18 bases, which puts him tied for 21st place on the all-time record of stolen bases at IUP. Clark was a defensive back in football, where he was named to IUP’s 1960 All-Decade football team, the 1968 AP All Pennsylvania Football first team and was named 1969 Coaches Big Indian Athletic Award for Athlete of the Year.

Dugan was part of the NCAA MidAtlantic Regional tournament wins in 1999 and 2000, which are a big part of history for the softball program. She is now ranked seventh in all-time home runs (19), 11th in doubles (27), third in triples (14), seventh in hits (169) and fifth in runs scored (105). Dugan gained the first all-time in a career of 119 runs batted in at the time of her graduation.

Today, only one other person has beaten her record.

Eisenhute played on the IUP men’s golf team. He was part of the 1968 National Association Intercollegiate Athletics national championship team and was honored with being named a NAIA All-American. The score, at the time, was the second lowest recorded at a NAIA championship.

FIBA World Cup brings unique entertainment

By TYRELL WALKER Contributing Writer T.W.Walker@iup.edu

Although the International Basketball Federation (FIBA) World Cup for men’s basketball tournament may tend to be slightly less invigorating – not to mention more anti-climactic – than the Olympics when the latter rolls around every four years, it nevertheless remains entertaining.

The sense of entertainment sprouts more from the sheer consistent, almost inevitable domination, from Team USA than the competition itself.

Let’s be honest: Seeing Derrick Rose dance around a defender, Demarcus Cousins bully a Serbian player or Kyrie Irving shoot the lights just because he felt like it never gets old.

It becomes even less fair with coach Mike Krzyzewski at the helm.

And with Team USA’s only prospective challenge in Spain knocked out of the tournament by France – yes, France – it was smooth sailing to the gold for America.

I do still have some criticisms of Team USA’s style of play from a fundamental standpoint.

Some of their flaws – mainly on the defensive end – were evident even in the

preliminary rounds. It seemed at times Team USA became confused with all of the God-given athleticism on the same court and became stagnant as a result.

Aside from the unfortunate loss of Paul George due to his ugly leg injury, the only thing that got in the way of USA was themselves.

Their stints of erratic play on offense were concerning, especially with the “Splash Brother” Steph Curry and Klay Thompson in company.

In fact, a 2-3 zone was highly effective against USA at times.

On the other side of the ball, there were plenty of highlight plays courtesy of USA. But some possessions were downright unacceptable.

Now, in their defense, James Harden was a starter on the team, which led to quite a few defensive lulls and easy backdoor buckets. Team USA struggled with teams with guards that excelled at the double pick and roll and handoffs.

God forbid if those teams had deadeyes in the corner, or it might have gotten rough for red, white and blue.

That being said, I can’t say much because, well, they won – and quite easily.

I strained all four of my eyes looking for a drip of sweat on any of our play-

ers. Serbia initially posed a well-worthy adversary in the first quarter, including putting Anthony Davis in foul trouble early. Serbia’s brute center gave the U.S. interior problems – that is, until Demarcus Cousins subbed in.

Problem solved.

He played excellent defense and was all over the glass. Kyrie Irving lost his mind and put up 26 points going 6-6 from the promised land, leading U.S. to a 129-92 win and capturing the gold of course. Can’t say it was easy, but – wait, actually…
