President, vice president elected to SGA Lopez, Snead to lead IUP’s student government for 2015-16 academic year

By CASEY KELLY Lead News Writer C.E.Kelly2@iup.edu

The newly elected president and vice president for the Student Government Association will be sworn in April 28 and hold their positions until spring 2016.

Vincent Lopez (sophomore, English and political science), president, and Tyron Snead (freshman, political science), vice president, said building a close relationship between Indiana University of Pennsylvania and the town of Indiana is one thing that they hope to focus on during their term.

“I’m hoping to achieve more unity within the university, the organizations on campus, as well as with our community,” Lopez said.

“Bringing a tighter-knit relationship between the university and the community is very important to us.”

Snead also said he sees an opportunity for the university to interact more frequently and efficiently with the town.

“The IUP community makes up a lot of the population here in Indiana,” Snead said. “Even from an economic standpoint, without the students spending their money at the local shops and businesses, who knows what might happen.”

Lopez and Snead also hope to host weekly or bi-weekly town-hall-style

meetings, where students can bring questions and concerns about the university to be taken into consideration.

“We want students to come out and discuss things they want to see different on campus,” Lopez said, “and address them in a certain manner, so we can take their feedback to whoever needs to take care of it.”

The duo met through SGA during the beginning of the semester, and found they shared similar ideas and beliefs. After talking more about their interests and hopes for IUP’s future both during and outside of SGA meetings, they decided to team up for the election. Lopez and Snead were elected over two other pairs.

“We’ve found that we really share the same views about things going on around campus and wanting to better our campus,” Lopez said.

“Both of us have a tight bond of trying to get something done as opposed to worrying about our own egos, and we share that commonality of being effective.”

The pair said they received positive feedback during their campaign for following an “open-door policy” with students. With this policy, Lopez and Snead explained to IUP students they would try their best to give the students what they want, but did not promise anything far-fetched.

“I made it known that we can’t

promise anything because we don’t want to have to break a promise,” Snead said.

“We want to tell people the truth. I listened to the things they have to say,

and I told them I will try my best to do what they want us to do because that’s what we’re here for.”

In addition to their involvement

with SGA, Lopez is a brother of the Phi Delta Theta fraternity, and Snead is a new member of the Kappa Sigma fraternity.

Speaker discusses eco-feminist approach to climate justice

By ROSEMARY TROPEANO Contributing Writer R.K.Tropeano@iup.edu

“Women are frequently blamed for contributing to climate issues.”

Dr. Greta Gaard gave the final presentations in the Sustainability Studies series titled “Gender, Species, and Climate Change: A Queer Feminist Perspective on Climate Justice,” Thursday.

News

Her talk centered on an eco-feminist approach to climate justice, focusing on differences between the global north and south, as well as the role women play worldwide. The field of eco-feminism is still a developing one.

The lecture linked together the restrictiveness of gender roles, reproductive justice and female underrepresentation as causes for that image.

Women worldwide work more in

agricultural and home settings than men do, according to Gaard. For these reasons, climate change affects women’s livelihoods more directly than it does men. Gaard’s presentation also briefly touched on how climate justice is linked to eco-queer rights movements and ecoqueer food movements, as well as related to species injustice.

Particularly, she related it to the meat and dairy farming industries.

April 7, 2015

“It was representing how complex the issue is,” Jessica Brown (junior, anthropology) said. “The purpose was to raise awareness and to pique interest into wanting to make change.”

To those interested in making change in climate justice, Gaard said, “Tap into your own passions.”

Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Sustainability Studies Committee presented this lecture as a part of its

2014-15 colloquium, designed to foster debate, discussion and learning at IUP. Gaard is an English professor at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls.

Her work focuses on interspecies justice, postcolonial eco-feminism and the eco-politics of oil pipelines.

Sustainability Studies will be offered as an interdisciplinary minor beginning in the fall of 2015, according to Dr. Susan Comfort of the English department.

Spiritual speakers discuss many possibilities of life after death

By BRIAN DAVIS Staff Writer B.G.Davis@iup.edu

Followers of the world’s major religions revealed the many possible pathways to life after death to a crowd of Indiana University of Pennsylvania students in the Hadley Union Building Ohio Room, Monday evening.

Bina Soni of the Hindu Association of IUP, Alicia Pearce of the Karma Triyana Dharmachakra, Dr. Kustim Wibowo of the Department of Information Systems and Decision Sciences and Rev. Jackie Greene of the GAP ministry represented each of their different religions during a Six O’Clock Series Program titled “Ritual and Rebirth.”

Soni started the event with a brief overview of the main concepts of Hinduism.

She began by saying that a fundamental belief in the Hindu religion is that “this is not the only lifetime that we have,” and “we are born many, many times.”

“We are not a physical body,” Soni, a math instructor in the department of developmental studies, said. “The body is just a vehicle for our soul, which is eternal.”

What a person becomes in their next life, Soni said, depends upon the actions that person has made in their current life, a Hindu belief known as the Law of Karma.

“Depending on your Karma or your actions in your lifetime, you can be born as a plant, an animal or a human being,” Soni said.

Soni said that the ultimate goal in life, according to Hinduism, is the liberation from the cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

She also spoke about the Hindu Festival of Holi, a holiday about rebirth and renewal similar to the Christian holiday of Easter.

The next presenter was Alicia Pearce, who talked about the beliefs and practices specific to Buddhism.

Pearce talked about how Buddhism is a practice that leads a person’s consciousness through various lifetimes with the goal of attaining Enlightenment.

She described Enlightenment as seeing “the bliss that is all around us,” see-

ing “all times” and passing “beyond this particular world.”

“To us, this world is nothing but an illusion,” Pearce said. “It is a dream within a dream.”

She summarized the main tenets of Buddhism into three main goals for those who seek Enlightenment.

The first is to “tame your mind” through practices like meditation. The second is to “harm none for any reason.” The third is to “practice virtue,” which she said means, “when you have a chance to help someone, you take that opportunity.

“The whole function of that is so all of us can help each other get out of this particular existence and be reborn as enlightened beings,” Pearce said.

Islam was the next religion discussed

by Dr. Kustim Wibowo, who talked about the different terms and tenets of the Muslim faith.

Wibowo condensed the basic teachings of Islam into six main beliefs.

The first belief is in Allah, the god of the Muslim faith, Wibowo said. The second belief are in angels, the servants of Allah.

The third belief is in books, which were given to mankind by Allah. The fourth is in the various messengers of Allah, including the Prophet Muhammad.

The fifth is in measurement, the belief that Allah has absolute knowledge about everything in existence.

The sixth is the “Last Day” and life after death.

Wibowo said that no one converts to Islam, because Muslims believe that everyone is a Muslim at birth. He said it is called a “rebirth” when someone accepts the Muslim religion.

The last religion of the evening was Christianity, talked about by Rev. Jackie Greene.

Greene said that to be a Christian, a person must be a follower of Jesus Christ.

“God sent his only son as a human being to reach out into our space in time and offer this eternity to us,” Greene said. “The penalty for our sins was paid

by Jesus Christ on the cross. We just need to thank Him for it.”

The event was cosponsored by the Interfaith Council.

Duke says student admitted hanging noose on campus

By JANE STANCILL

The News & Observer (Raleigh, N.C.) TNS

DURHAM, N.C. – Duke University officials said Thursday that a student has admitted hanging a noose in a tree on the campus early Wednesday.

At a news conference, Duke officials said the student is no longer on campus.

The student will go through a campus disciplinary process, which could include a hearing panel and, if the student is found responsible, a range of punishments such as suspension or expulsion.

In addition, Duke is coordinating with the State Bureau of Investigation and the Federal Bureau of Investigation about potential criminal violations, said Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs and government relations.

He declined to release the name of the student, citing the federal law that protects educational records. He also would not reveal the student’s gender or race.

Schoenfeld said students brought forth credible information about the incident to Duke police and student affairs staff. The investigation will continue in an effort to determine whether others were involved, he added.

“At this point we’re not in a position to discuss motivation or anything be-

yond that,” Schoenfeld said.

Larry Moneta, vice president for student affairs, thanked people for coming forward.

“I’m extraordinarily gratified that students, in particular, were very quick to bring to our attention information that they had,” Moneta said. “This was clearly something that outraged the entire community, and I think students really bonded in joining many other students to try to help us figure out what happened and be as responsive as we could.”

The noose was discovered about 2 a.m. Wednesday in the Bryan Center plaza. Word spread quickly through social media.

The incident occurred about a week and a half after a student’s report of racist remarks by another student on Duke’s East Campus. The university is investigating that incident.

By midday Wednesday, the Black Student Alliance led a student march at the area where the noose was found.

Later, more than 1,000 people gathered outside Duke Chapel for a forum, where faculty, students and Duke President Richard Brodhead denounced racism and pledged to work on the campus climate.

Despite the quick identification of a suspect, there was still unease on campus

Thursday. Students said the appearance of the noose wasn’t an isolated incident.

“The fact that this student is no longer on campus isn’t an isolated solution,” said Sarah Du, a junior from Seattle. “I think we’ve got a lot of work to do.”

Arianna Price, a junior from Tucson, Ariz., agreed. “I don’t think anyone would say this one individual not being here solves anything.”

Near the tree where the noose was found, a group of students gathered to study and chat at a table late Thursday.

Tolu Lawal, a student from New York, said in some ways the noose made some people recognize the racial undercurrents that black students have long complained about. “People don’t believe it until they see it,” she said.

David Ivey, a student from Washington, D.C., said Thursday’s development in the investigation was welcomed but provided no real closure.

“It’s nice that they caught the guy,” he said. “It still doesn’t resolve any of the structural problems that exist.”

Nearby, work continued on a construction project at the center of campus. A large chalkboard wall at the edge of the site featured dozens of fill-in-theblank responses to “Before I die I want to ... “ One of them finished the phrase with this: “ ... see a world where no one would hang a noose in a tree.”

Prosecuter gives closing statement

By RICHARD A. SERRANO Tribune Washington Bureau TNS

BOSTON – “They chose Patriot’s Day,” prosecutor Aloke Chakravarty told jurors Monday as he closed the government’s case in the guilt phase of the federal capital murder trial for Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

“They chose Marathon Monday.

They chose a day when the eyes of America were on Boston. They chose a day when people were on the sidewalks.”

With videos and photographs, pictures of the dead and dying, copies of Tsarnaev’s tweets and his Web searches for jihad material and a blown-up image of his “confession” written on the inside of a boat, Chakravarty reminded the jury of the wealth of evidence pinning the bombings on the 21-year-old Russian immigrant.

“He wanted to terrorize this country.

He wanted to punish America for what it was doing to his people,” the prosecutor said. “And that’s what he did.”

He said Tsarnaev and his older brother, Tamerlan, marked off two spots near the finish line at the April 2013 marathon and separately detonated two pressure cooker bombs. He said Dzhokhar placed his bomb at the feet of a group of children.

“He can’t help but see the row of children,” Chakravarty said of Dzhokhar.

“But he puts his bomb there.”

Three people died, including an 8-year-old boy. More than 260 more were injured, including 17 amputees.

Several days later, during a police manhunt, MIT Officer Sean Collier was shot to death. Tamerlan was killed in that shootout. Now Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, if convicted, faces a death sentence after a final penalty phase in the trial.

Chakravarty, his face to the jury andhis back to Tsarnaev, said: “That day they felt like they were soldiers. They

were the mujahedin.”

The prosecutor described the brothers finding separate spots near the finish line, then Dzhokhar calling Tamerlan on their cell phones before detonating the explosives filled with nails, metal shards, BBs and other ammunition.

They spoke for 19 seconds. “To tell [Tamerlan] things are a go,” the prosecutor said. “He told him he was in position. He told him it was go-time.”

He said Tamerlan paid cash for the pressure cookers at a local Macy’s, while texting his brother. He said Tamerlan also bought backpacks the day before the bombings, while Dzhokhar was buying a SIM card for his cell phone.

“They were fully engaged in their conspiracy,” Chakravarty said. “They knew what they were doing.”

While evidence showed that Tamerlan was heavily radicalized, Chakravarty stressed that Dzhokhar was just as deep into al-Qaida propaganda.

“He got the stuff, he read the stuff, he believed in the stuff, and he acted on the stuff,” the prosecutor said.

“This was cold and calculated,” he said. “It was intentional. It was to make a point, that we will not be terrorized

by America anymore. We will terrorize you.”

Finally, Chakravarty held up portraits of the dead, and described their injuries.Officer Collier. “Shot five times, three of them in the head, one between the eyes.”

Crystal Campbell, 29. “Massive blast injuries to her lower extremities. Parts of her body were shredded by the bombing.”

Lingzi Lu, 23 “She received blast injuries all over her body. Her leg was torn open... She bled out.”

And Martin Richard, 8. “His entire body was shattered, broken, eviscerated, burned. There wasn’t a part of this boy’s body that wasn’t destroyed.”

Man missing at sea since January found off NC coast

By RICHARD STRADLING

The News & Observer (Raleigh, N.C.) TNS

A South Carolina man who was reported missing at sea in January was picked up by a German cargo ship off the North Carolina coast on Thursday.

The crew of the Houston Express reported finding the overturned 35foot sailboat, Angel, at about 1:30 p.m. about 200 miles east of Cape Hatteras.

On the boat’s hull was Louis Jordan, 37, whose family had reported him missing to the Coast Guard on Jan. 29.

A Coast Guard Jayhawk helicopter crew from Elizabeth City flew to the Houston Express, hoisted Jordan aboard and took him to Sentara Norfolk General Hospital in Virginia, according to the Coast Guard.

Jordan had an injured shoulder but had managed to keep himself fed during his months at sea, said Lt. Krystyn Pecora, spokeswoman for the Coast Guard Fifth District in Portsmouth, Va. “From what he told us on the phone, he was catching fish and collecting rain water and drinking it,” Pecora said.

The Coast Guard still needs to interview Jordan to find out what happened to him and the Angel, Pecora said.

Jordan had set sail from a marina

on the Wacamaw River near Conway, S.C., said Ryan Doss, a spokesman for the Coast Guard Seventh District in Miami, which handled the initial search for him. Jordan’s father contacted the Coast Guard on Jan. 29 to say he had not heard from his son in a week and to ask if the Coast Guard had come across him, Doss said.

Jordan’s mother called a week later to say he was still missing and to ask for help finding him. In addition to alerting its own ships and aircraft, the Coast Guard began contacting marinas, bridge operators and refueling stations from Miami to New Jersey, asking people to keep an eye out for him, Doss said.

“We didn’t know where he was going,” he said. “Without that critical piece of information, a good portion of the Atlantic Ocean becomes your search area.”

The Coast Guard also began monitoring the use of Jordan’s credit card, cellphone and social media for clues about where he might be and encouraged his family to file a missing person’s report with police in case he showed up on land, Doss said.

But no one heard from him until Thursday, when the 1,085-foot container ship came upon his disabled sailboat.

Republicans feel heat from business on religious freedom acts

By DAVID LIGHTMAN AND WILLIAM DOUGLAS McClatchy Washington Bureau TNS

WASHINGTON – Nothing affects public policy like pressure from America’s corporate community, and its muscle was vividly on display again this week in Indiana and Arkansas.

The states’ governors, facing the very real threat of dollars, jobs and tourists fleeing their states, quickly and publicly softened their positions on religious freedom acts. We don’t intend to discriminate, they insisted, as Wal-Mart, American Airlines, Marriott, NASCAR, the NCAA and other corporate powerhouses weighed in.

The business community clearly influenced the debate in states considering the law, such as North Carolina.

“They helped the opposition reframe the argument from rights, liberty and religious expression to an economic argument,” Janine Parry, the director of the University of Arkansas poll, said in an interview.

Wednesday, a day after Arkansas’ legislature sent Gov. Asa Hutchinson the religious freedom legislation he said he intended to sign, Hutchinson backed off, announcing he wants changes.

Tuesday, Indiana Gov. Mike Pence told a news conference much the same about the law he had approved days earlier, and changes are in the works.

“It sure looks like corporate pressure has gotten Gov. Pence’s attention in Indiana in a way that, say, objections from the Human Rights Campaign would not, and Wal-Mart’s voice is loud and influential in Arkansas,” Jonathan Rauch, a senior fellow of governance studies at Washington’s Brookings Institution, said in an interview.

The governors’ suddenly shifting stances reflect the clout of American business – and the gay consumer – pow-

er that arguably is even stronger than political pressure.

The buying power of the LGBT – lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender – community is about $830 billion, according to a 2013 analysis by Witeck Communications, a Washington-based firm that assists major corporations in marketing to the LGBT community.

“I think the leadership of the private sector in the past week has had a profound impact,” Jason Rahlan, a spokesman for the Human Rights Campaign, said in an interview. “Folks understand that equality is good business and discrimination isn’t.”

The White House agreed.

“We saw, you know, pretty strong criticism, including from some pretty prominent business leaders in the state of Arkansas, expressing some concern about the impact of that law and that that law could justifiably, or could be used to justify discriminating against individuals because of who they love,” White House press secretary Josh Earnest said Wednesday.

When Pence signed the Indiana law a week ago, about the only political objections came from Democrats.

Potential presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, a Democrat, tweeted her opposition. Most potential Republican presidential candidates, though, quickly lined up behind the measure.

But business interests matter, particularly to Republican governors. “It plays right to the Republicans’ soft spot,” said Daniel Mitchell, an economist and senior fellow at Washington’s Cato Institute, a libertarian research group.

The Indiana law protects companies and individuals from government actions that would substantially burden religious practices. The federal government and 19 other states have religious freedom laws. Indiana’s and Arkansas’ measures are seen as different, allowing

businesses to discriminate.

As news about the laws spread, financial interests began to weigh in. “Pure idiocy from a business perspective,” said Arne Sorenson, Marriott’s president and CEO. Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, tweeted, “Apple is open for everyone.

We are deeply disappointed in Indiana’s new law.”

Technology industry leaders issued a joint statement saying, “LGBT people deserve to be protected from unjust discrimination.”

American Airlines, which has its second-largest hub at the Charlotte, N.C., airport, signaled Monday that it would fight similar legislation being considered by North Carolina’s legislature.

“We believe that no individual should be refused service or employment because of gender identity or sexual orientation,” American Airlines spokeswoman Michelle Mohr said in a statement.

Most ominously for Indiana, the NCAA was speaking out. It’s headquartered in Indianapolis, and its showcase event, the men’s basketball Final Four, begins Saturday in that city. The NCAA issued a statement last week saying it would examine the law’s implications.

A few days later, NCAA President Mark Emmert told ESPN that he wanted the championship to be held in an inclusive environment, and “right now we’re not sure that we have that.”

Tuesday, Pence tried to backpedal, promising changes by the end of this week. The Indianapolis Star reported Wednesday that government officials were proposing new language that would give protection to gays and lesbians – and were vetting that language with top state business leaders.

Attention also turned to Arkansas, where Wal-Mart, the nation’s largest private employer, is headquartered in Bentonville. CEO Doug McMillon

(TNS)

urged Hutchinson to veto the bill, saying it “threatens to undermine the spirit of inclusion.”

Wal-Mart has deep roots in Arkansas; McMillon is a Jonesboro native.

“Every day,” he said in a statement, “in our stores, we see firsthand the benefits diversity and inclusion have on our associates, customers and communities we serve.”

It’s also got deep roots in other states.

With 1.3 million employees, 4,281 Wal-Mart stores and 650 Sam’s Clubs, the company’s net U.S. sales last year were $279.4 billion for Wal-Mart and $57 billion for Sam’s Club. Wal-Mart is the largest private employer in 20 states.

Hutchinson had said at first that he would sign the bill. But Arkansas interests began to pressure him.

The Little Rock Regional Chamber of Commerce, the city’s mayor, and Acxicom Corp., a Little Rock-based technology company, urged a veto.

Clinton, a former first lady of Arkansas, also urged a veto. Businesses are well aware of the stakes.

“Immediately after passage of the law,” said Marriott’s Sorenson, “one of our Renaissance hotels in Indiana received a tweet from a guest letting us know he had a reservation with us in two weeks. Citing Indiana’s hurtful new law, he asked whether he would be welcomed as a gay man.”

“Our manager immediately responded: ‘Inclusion is part of who we are & we’re committed to making everyone feel welcome when they walk through our doors.’”

Erie man charged for robbing nurse

By ED PALATTELLA Erie Times-News TNS

A 44-year-old Erie man was sentenced today in Erie County Court to up to nine years and eight months in state prison for robbing a nurse near UPMC Hamot and using her bank card to steal cash in September.

The defendant, Albert A. Hobson, pleaded guilty in January to robbery as a second-degree felony and illegal use of a bank access device as a first-degree misdemeanor. His minimum sentence is four years and 10 months.

Judge William R. Cunningham, who sentenced Hobson, ordered him to pay the victim $749.90 in restitution, to write her a letter of apology and get treatment for mental issues and drug and alcohol abuse, if appropriate, according to court records.

Erie police accused Hobson of confronting the victim with a hunting knife in the 100 block of East Third Street at about 7:40 a.m. on Sept. 13. Police caught Hobson by circulating surveillance photographs taken of him at the nearby service station where he used the woman’s bank card.

Better safe than sorry

The writing process is different for every journalist, but it consistently includes some combination of the same elements: researching, interviewing and fact checking. And for a story with extremely serious and potentially defaming subject matter, it should probably be fact-checked twice. Maybe even three times.

This is exactly what Rolling Stone failed to do when publishing the sexual assault story “A Rape on Campus” by Sabrina Ruben Erdely in November, accusing Phi Kappa Psi fraternity at University of Virginia of gang rape.

The story was proved to have flaws in reporting, and in hearing these accusations against their credibility, Rolling Stone sought outside help in pinpointing potential inaccuracies in the story.

They turned to Columbia School of Journalism Dean Steve Coll for assistance, and he, along with a few associates, released a report Sunday determining that the Rolling Stone story was, in fact, incorrect in their article.

The Columbia report points out that it was not a matter of fabrication, but a matter of policy and accuracy.

Jackie, the victim, was unwilling to give the name of her assailant to Erdely, who tried for more than a month to obtain it. She assured Jackie she would not include his name in the story, but explained that she needed to do her journalistic duty of confirming all sides of the story before publishing it.

Still, Jackie refused.

This is where production of the story should have halted until further evidence showed that Jackie’s story was factual; however, the over-confident Erdely continued with it. The fact-checker assigned to the story spent four hours on the phone with Jackie, fack-checking her account for consistency.

Erdely, the fact-checker and the editors at Rolling Stone were confident that Jackie’s credibility was unyielding, despite her resistance to tell them the attacker’s name.

Erdely wrote in a statement Sunday that she let her emotions get in the way of properly fact-checking Jackie’s story, a mistake that she “will not make again.”

While we can rest well at night knowing that Erdely will not make these mistakes again, this is not a case where just an apology can fix a mistake. Erdely will not be disciplined and Managing Editor Will Dana expects Erdely to continue writing for Rolling Stone, according to a Sunday Washington Post article.

Rolling Stone took down the story Sunday and replaced it with Columbia’s report of the factual errors, and while acknowledging embarrassment is admirable of them, that should not be used as an excuse for Erdely’s shortcomings. There are options beyond firing, such as suspension without pay.

Rolling Stone is absurd to condone Erdely’s failure to confirm both sides of the story by a simple public admission of embarrassment and guilt.

Further action should be taken to assure the readers, the public and those defamed by the accusations made in the Rolling Stone article that the magazine has done all it can to correct their journalistic failure.

Modeling Group’s sixth annual fashion show took the HUB Ohio Room stage Saturday with an army-fierce theme

By NIKKI SANTIAGO & RENÉE WILLIAMSON The Penn Staff the-penn@iup.edu

Passionate Outgoing Individuals with Zeal Modeling Group hosted a fashion showcase in the Hadley Union Building Ohio Room Saturday.

The fashion show was the final event of the first POIZ week in which the group hosted events Monday through Friday, promoting themselves to the Indiana University of Pennsylvania community through donations and different workshops.

The show combined runway with choreographed dance performances to keep the crowd entertained.

Jair “Jay” Nixon (senior, psychology) hosted the event and encouraged the audience to hashtag #POIZOscars to give shout-outs to their favorite models and performances.

The hashtag reached the second trending topic in the Pittsburgh area.

Nixon also changed his outfits multiple times, almost as much as the models did, as he read live tweets from the audience commenting on the show.

He was also responsible for explaining to the audience exactly what the models were portraying in correspondence with the various themes.

The Oscar-themed fashion show was “out of the box and something unusual for POIZ to do,” said Briana Richardson-Jones (junior, English/pre-law), vice president of POIZ. The executive board of POIZ came up with the unique theme. Various designers of the IUP community designed the clothes the models wore throughout the show.

It was the sixth annual show and the fifth annual on IUP’s main campus, as it

started first on Punxsutawney’s campus in 2009.

It was also the fifth year POIZ has been officially recognized on campus.

The original founders of the group were also in attendance at the event.

The goal of the fashion show was to “raise money to help keep POIZ alive so we can continue to put on shows on campus and do some community service around campus,” SharayLynn Price (junior, pre-dentistry), secretary and public relations officer for POIZ, said.

The fashion categories included Best Visual Effects: Horror, Best Picture: Action, Best Screenplay: Romance, Best Original Cinematography: Sci-Fi and Best Dramatic feature.

Each category was introduced with a creative video montage that the models created.

POIZ was able to take the theme of horror and make it relevant outside of October in an interesting way.

The show began with creepy, ominous theatrics and acting.

The horror scene depicted the models as bloodstained zombies walking around tombstones placed up and down the runway.

Black and lace were seen throughout the scene, and models all wore black and glass heels, which unified them.

The scenes were designed and collaborated by various models from POIZ. The action scene featured models with a sexy spin on military attire and guns. The video introducing this category said, “When POIZ gets the mission, it’s possible.”

Special guest performances included IUP’s Militia Dance Team with a highly energized, precise, tight and choreographed dance performance combined with POIZ. The girls all danced in alternating

groups on stage.

“POIZ wanted to do a collaboration, so we practiced for two months,” Constance Brown (sophomore, journalism and communications media), one of the lead dancers in the performance, said.

Others who graced the stage included IUP’s own rapper $wipe, who performed two songs off his new mixtape, and Cheyney University’s M.O.D.E.R.N. Men, who modeled and danced shirtless for the crowd.

College Life was also in attendance, promoting their clothing line to the audience.

The Sci-Fi scene titled “Strut For the Future” took a creative take on what fashions may look like in the future: a sexy spin on space suits.

The wardrobe consisted of glasses with tassels, large necklaces, lighted dresses, long pointed capes and mouth coverings.

Though the wardrobe had potential to be distracting or tricky for the models, they walked as they usually do, with a perfect routine.

Graduating members of POIZ were also honored on stage with roses, as they were remembered for their time of modeling and performing with the group.

The models wrapped up the show by walking across the stage for a final time, thanking everyone who participated in the event, including the host, special performers, designers and hair and makeup artists.

POIZ also had a mini photo shoot for founding members, old members and new members alike after the show, depicting the tight-family feel of the group.

Militia is set to hold their own dance showcase April 16. @ThePennIUP

‘Girl Code’ stars perform free Neutral Milk Hotel creates a new mystical show for IUP students

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

Tanisha Long and Esther Ku from MTV’s “Girl Code” performed comedy skits in the Hadley Union Building Ohio Room Thursday for an audience of about 300 students.

“Girl Code” debuted on MTV in April of 2013 and has garnered more than 900,000 fans on Facebook. The show presents female musicians, comedians and actresses talking about various circumstances that many women encounter.

These circumstances can vary from how to get in shape to how to help friends through tough times. The variety in these situations results in an eclectic show that touches many facets of everyday life.

Before the doors opened, a line of students wrapped around the front of the I-Card office and almost out the front of the HUB.

Lexi Vollmer (freshman, biology/ pre-veterinarian) said that at 6:30 p.m., the entire sitting area was filled with students waiting to enter the Ohio room.

There were more students in attendance at this year’s “Girl Code” event as opposed to last year’s, Becky Keller (communications media), a general member of The Entertainment Network , who sponsored the event, said.

Many students were eager for the show to start. Kayla Mantini, a 2014 graduate of IUP, said that she was excited to see “Girl Code” with her friends this year.

The enthusiastic crowd cheered as Long took the stage first. After a humorous set ranging from dating in college to popular slang, Long introduced Ku to the stage. After Ku finished her act, which involved a musical shoutout to an audience member, the girls answered some questions that IUP students had asked on Twitter.

(Photo by Sarah Bader/ The Penn) Above: Tanisha Ku and Esther Long from MTV’s Girl Code entertained a full crowd with their comedy routine in the HUB Ohio Thursday, sponsored by TEN. Right: Ku had her fair share of laughs with the Thursday crowd.

During this Q&A session, Long and Ku talked about body image, dating and other topics frequently discussed on “Girl Code.”

After about 15 minutes of Q&A, Long and Ku thanked the crowd and went into an attached room so that students could line up to get pictures with the celebrities.

Many students were glad that they had come to the event. Vollmersaid she hopes that TEN will bring “Girl Code” back next year, and added that her favorite part was the “Tyrone” song that Ku sang.

Abby Panek (freshman, philosophy) said she loved the show and that it was really funny.

“I thought [the Q&A session] was really empowering,” Panek said. “I liked the answers they gave. They were funny, but got a really good message across.”

The next TEN event, “Workaholics – The Montez Experience with Erik Griffin,” will be held April 21.

realm of rock

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

Some underground rock bands have a mystical, ethereal quality, not just to their sound but to their presence, as well.

The cult phenomenon “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea,” constructed by guitarist and vocalist Jeff Mangum and his band Neutral Milk Hotel, is perhaps the most well-known example of this kind.

After releasing “In the Aeroplane Over the Sea” in 1998, Neutral Milk Hotel, despite the album’s universal critical acclaim, quietly slunk into the shadows, only reuniting for a tour in 2013.

Fans of Mangum and Neutral Milk Hotel slowly created a mythos for the band.

Was Mangum’s psychology damaged under the weight of his creation? What was the album about, exactly? How did underground rockers like NMH pull off such a musically complex album?

Albums in this vein become not just an aural experience, but an immersive one.

Upon a full listen and a few quick Google searches, the brain becomes fully intent on unearthing just what happened behind the scenes of such a mysterious piece of art.

The same musings can be had about the emo, soul-crushing breakup album “American Football” by the band of the same name – whose 2014 reunion tour rapidly sold out – and the considerably lesser-known, kitsch-ily titled “No Drum and Bass in the Jazz Room,” by the lesser-known, kitsch-ily titled band, Clever Girl.

Lumped into a genre with a cumbersome title – emo/math post-rock – the now-defunct Massachusetts-based quartet Clever Girl created some of the most eclectic music known to indie rock, fusing elements of math rock, jazz and pop into a bubbly sound all their own.

The band utilizes traditional elements of rock music like guitar, drums and bass and fuses them with a horn section, auxiliary percussion and synths to create the offbeat sound of their almost entirely instrumen-

tal album, save one vocal outburst in the opening track, “Elm.” “Elm,” after a clean, dreamy guitar intro, drives along through hook after hook between guitar and saxophone, often changing feel and tempo. The track, a bubbly, up-tempo jam, winds its way through the minds and hearts of the band with its unpredictable nature and dreamy quality.

Relationships are often fodder for indie rockers, and if “Elm” represents the ecstatic first weeks of a new boyfriend or girlfriend, the angst-ridden melancholy of “Ohmygodiloveyoupleasedontleaveme” oozes the sadness of a relationship in turmoil.

That Clever Girl can convey such a wide range of emotions without compromising their originality is a testament to their exceptional musicianship and cohesion as a group.

The layered, riff-based sound Clever Girl boasts throughout “No Drum and Bass in the Jazz Room” often pulls the rug from under the listener by unpredictably changing tempo and time signature, a signature of other math rock outfits like Don Caballero and Hella.

Clever Girl’s sound can be a doubleedged sword.

For every earworm of a hook, there can be a clunker, and for every track varied enough to hold interest for five minutes, there can be a meandering slog.

Clever Girl manages to avoid these pitfalls with a trim, 22-minute runtime and a seemingly endless bag of tricks designed to root themselves in your brain and stay there.

Like American Football and Neutral Milk Hotel, Clever Girl has been content to slink away into the shadows since the 2011 release of “No Drum and Bass in the Jazz Room.”

Unlike those two groups, Clever Girl has, perhaps unfairly, not received such critical acclaim or such a devoted fan base.

“No Drum and Bass in the Jazz Room” is truly a diamond in the cluttered rough of Internet-age indie rock albums.

This album is available for free streaming on YouTube and Bandcamp.

Timko breaks IUP records in win over Charleston Women’s tennis snaps losing streak to remain atop PSAC West with 11-5 record

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

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania women’s tennis team rebounded from a weekend snap of its four-matchwinning streak, following a pair of non-conference losses with a victory on Monday. The Crimson Hawks now have a record of 11-5 on the season.

Despite the unsuccessful team outTENNIS comes, Tanya Timko (senior, psychology) reached a career milestone, breaking two records in IUP’s 9-0 win over the University of Charleston, Monday.

Her two singles victories elevated her into a stalemate with Katie Eaton with 81 singles wins, a total she eclipsed Monday. She also surpassed Emilia Osborne for most combined victories (176) in a doubles win Monday.

With seven matches remaining in the regular season, Timko could have opportunities to claim the singles record as her own, as well.

As a whole, however, IUP fell 7-2 to Wayne State University Friday afternoon.

Timko came from behind to collect a victory in three sets at No. 1 singles – 4-6, 6-3, 6-4. Rachel Wood (sophomore, criminology) also won in singles by a score of 4-6, 6-2, 6-4. Wayne State dominated doubles play, opening up to a 3-0 match lead after winning 8-4, 8-4 and 8-0 in the three spots.

In their second match of the weekend Saturday, IUP’s gutsy comeback fell short, as Grand Valley State University held on to hand the Crimson Hawks a 5-4 loss.

The Lakers opened the contest with a 2-1 lead in doubles play.

IUP’s lone victory came from Luise Von Agris (freshman, management) and Rachel Wood, who won 8-6 at the No. 2 spot. Grand Valley State widened the lead with a victory in No. 2 singles.

IUP answered with three consecutive singles victories to take a 4-3 lead.

Timko scored a dramatic victory at No. 1, 7-6 (2) and 7-6 (2).

Von Agris continued the winning ways with a 6-2, 6-1 win at No. 3, followed by a 6-3, 5-7, 7-5 victory for Raquel Gonzalez (sophomore, management) at No. 3.

The Crimson Hawks couldn’t hold on, however, as Grand Valley State won at the No. 4 singles to tie the match and

Tanya Timko (senior, psychology) tied two IUP records in the Crimson Hawks’ non-conference play. (Nick Dampman/ The Penn)

then clinched the victory with a win at No. 6.

It was a tough finish to a tough road trip for the IUP team, who came into the weekend ranked 32nd in NCAA Division II. IUP traveled to Michigan seeking strong competition, and they certainly found it.

Wayne State is ranked 27th in the

country, and Grand Valley State is ranked 41st among NCAA Division II teams.

The Crimson Hawks return to western Pennsylvania for most of the home stretch of the regular season, as five of their remaining seven matches come at the Maple Street Courts in Indiana.

An upcoming match comes against California University of Pennsylvania, a

rival from the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference.

IUP currently sits in first place in the PSAC Western Division with a perfect 4-0 conference record, although California is also undefeated in the PSAC at 1-0. A strong finish to the regular season can springboard IUP into the playoffs as they seek their first PSAC championship in program history.

gional rankings.

The rankings, released Monday morning via NCAA.com, placed the Crimson Hawks above Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference rivals California University of Pennsylvania and Mercyhurst University, among other teams in the area.

West Chester University, Millersville University, the University of Charleston (West Virginia), Gannon University, West Liberty University, Notre Dame College (Ohio) and Concord University

round out the top 10 teams in the regional rankings.

IUP has garnered top-four finishes at five different invitationals since fall and most recently began its spring season with a third place mark at the seventh annual St. James Plantation Invitational in Southport, N.C., March 13-14.

The No. 1 ranked Crimson Hawks will next travel to West Chester to compete in Saturday’s Dr. Edwin B. Cottrell Invitational.

Ten teams from each region will

eventually be invited to compete in the NCAA’s May 18-22 Division II Tournament.

The competition, in which the Crimson Hawks could partake after their top-seeded ranking, according to IUP Athletics, will feature the top teams from the PSAC, Mountain East Conference, Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association and Atlantic region.

The tournament will take place May 4-6 at the Longaberger Golf Club in Nashport, Ohio.

Andrew Harrison apologizes to Wisconsin’s Frank Kaminsky for racial slur

By MATT VELAZQUEZ Milwaukee Journal Sentinel TSN

After falling to Wisconsin, Kentucky coach John Calipari and his players were the first to face the media in the interview room.

When Kentucky forward KarlAnthony Towns was asked about Wisconsin center and national player of the

year Frank Kaminsky, the first response didn’t come from Towns.

As the question was still being asked, sophomore Andrew Harrison, who had his mouth covered, said, “F--” that n----.”

The hot microphone in front of him caught the words.

Andrew Harrison apologized to Kaminsky in a series of tweets early Sun-

day morning.

But that wasn’t the only incident involving the Harrison twins after the game.

Wisconsin point guard Bronson Koenig was asked about them and noted that he couldn’t remember seeing either brother in the handshake line.

“I didn’t see the Harrisons,” Koenig said. “I’m not sure where they went.”

IUP beats East Stroudsburg for fourth straight win

By CHRIS HAYES Staff Writer C.T.Hayes@iup.edu

It was a tight contest throughout, but the Indiana University of Pennsylvania lacrosse team prevailed once again for their fourth straight vicLACROSSE tory.

Kim Hooven (sophomore, elementary and special education) had a special day, netting a career-tying five goals to help IUP defeat East Stroudsburg University Saturday afternoon, 14-12.

The Crimson Hawks improved their overall record to 6-4 and their conference record to 4-1, placing them fourth in the current Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference standings.

Hooven wasn’t the only star of the game for IUP. Bailey McLeish (freshman, com-

munications media), Brittney Palardy (junior, exercise science) and Carissa Smith (sophomore, sports administration) all tallied two goals each.

Sarah Knotts (sophomore, nutrition and dietitian) stood tall in goal, coming up with six saves in the second half alone.

It was an uphill battle from the start for the Crimson Hawks. East Stroudsburg came out firing, scoring the first three goals of the contest.

IUP was able to respond, but they trailed the Warriors 7-6 going into the break.

It became a 9-7 East Stroudsburg lead early in the second half, but then IUP rose to the occasion.

The Crimson Hawks went on a 4-0 run over the next eight minutes to put the game away late.

Slippery Rock University is next on the schedule for IUP. The two teams will meet up Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Miller Stadium.

For the second consecutive series, Indiana University of Pennsylvania split its doubleheader.

After going 1-1 against California University of PennBASEBALL sylvania in Washington, Pa., Saturday, the Crimson Hawks baseball team split its two-game matchup with the Vulcans at home Monday.

In its first contest of the year at Owen Dougherty Field, IUP captured its 11th win of the season in a 9-5 defeat of Cal with Matt Douglas (junior, marketing) on the mound.

Jonathan O’Neill (senior, criminology) helped drive IUP’s offense in the home opener, going 3-for-3 at the plate with a pair of doubles and three RBIs. In the second game of the day, a 3 p.m. matchup that featured Kyle Zaorski (senior, finance) as the starting pitcher, the Crimson Hawks suffered

their 15th loss of the year.

Three homeruns and 13 total runs by the Vulcans led to IUP’s second doubleheader split in as many days.

Hunter Bigler (junior, exercise science) was responsible for two of the Crimson Hawks’ runs in the 13-7 defeat, notching his first home run of the season against Cal. Starting pitcher Zach Chinchilla (sophomore, kinesiology, health & sport science) continued his strong play for the Crimson Hawks during the team’s draw with Cal on Saturday.

Game 1 saw Chinchilla throw a complete game in a 3-1 IUP victory.

The Ambridge native allowed six hits but only one earned run while striking out seven batters. Chinchilla now owns a 3-1 overall record and a teambest 3.74 ERA (minimum of 10 innings pitched).

Ryan Uhl (senior, finance), who recently became IUP’s career leader for home runs, did not record any roundtrippers on the day, but he did play a part in two of IUP’s three runs.

Uhl hit a single in the first to drive in Mike Lupia (senior, health and physical

education) and he then crossed the plate himself after a base hit by Rick Jones (junior, criminology) in the third.

Cal’s only score of the contest came on an RBI single in the third. They managed to record only three more base runners from that point on.

Game 2 featured a more tightly contest bout, as Cal managed to edge the Crimson Hawks 4-3.

IUP faced a deficit for a majority of the contest but stormed back to tie it in the sixth, 3-3, thanks to an RBI double from O’Neill and a run-scoring fielder’s choice from Zac LaNeve (junior, management).

The Crimson Hawks proceeded to hold the Vulcans scoreless through the seventh to force an extra inning.

It didn’t go farther than that, however, as Cal’s David Marcus hit a walk-off solo shot in the bottom of the eighth to bring Cal the W. Now 7-9 in the conference, IUP travels to Bloomsburg University Tuesday for another doubleheader. The Crimson Hawks then return home for a Friday doubleheader with the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown.
