Students ‘Chalk the Walk’ in the Oak Grove

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

Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s chapter of the National Art Education Association, in conjunction with The Lively Arts, celebrated Wednesday’s sunny, warm weather by co-sponsoring the 23rd annual “Chalk the Walk” event in the Oak Grove.

About 80 to 100 students participated in the event.

The grand prize of $100 went to Liz Richards (senior, art). Second place, a prize of $50, went to Sarah Shelly (sophomore, nursing).

In addition to first and second place prizes, there were four “topic categories” from which students could choose to relate their artwork: social issues, political issues, human rights issues and environmental issues. Each of these categories yielded a $25 prize.

The prize for the social issues category went to Kaitlyn Mowery (sophomore, psychology).

Laura Manganello’s (senior, communications media) drawing of Martin Luther King Jr. won the political issues category. Manganello said she participates in the event every year.

“This year, I chose to draw Martin Luther King Jr. to spark a discussion amongst students about the Baltimore and Ferguson riots,” she said in a Thursday email.

“People often say, ‘MLK would be rolling in his grave if he saw you acting like this,’ but in reality, MLK also stated that ‘a riot is the language of the unheard,’ and often supported less peaceful approaches to unacceptable situations in need of immediate change.”

The human rights issue category went to Alexa Titchen (sophomore, journalism and public relations) for her

drawing of a woman glancing over her shoulder, where there was a barcode, to raise awareness for human trafficking.

Titchen wrote next to her artwork, “Humans aren’t meant to be sold. Human trafficking is a $32-billion industry. Let’s be a generation for change.”

“I decided to participate because three things I love were combined: nature, art and raising awareness of the darkness in the world,” Titchen said in a Thursday email. “Even if I didn’t win, I knew that whoever saw my drawing would then know at least one thing about human trafficking.”

The environmental issues prize went to Cory Glover (freshman, nutrition) and Archie Kromah (sophomore, College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics).

This event was not exclusive to artists, but instead was open to the public, said NAEA President Kathryn Close (junior, art education).

“We’re hoping that students make their own messages out of the categories,” Close said. “It gives people who might not normally be doing art a chance to do that, and gives people who are walking through the Oak Grove a chance to participate in something that they might not have done, or at least relate to what the messages are.”

A total of 70 squares were blocked off for students to utilize. The Lively Arts supplied the chalk, NAEA supplied the manpower, and a variety of IUP students supplied the talent.

The “Chalk the Walk” judges were the following non-art professors: IUP President Michael A. Driscoll and his wife, Becky, Dr. Christine Baker, Dr. David Ferguson, Dr. Marissa McClure, Meghan Moore, Cate Planisky, Ann Sesti, Dr. Susan Sibert, Dr. Theresa Smith and Dr. Bob Sweeny.

Dr. Donald J. Mash will be the keynote speaker at the commencement ceremonies at 9 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. May 9 in the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex.

He will be presented with an honorary doctorate of Humane Letters during the ceremonies.

Mash is a first generation college student from Jeanette who received a degree from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s College of Education and Educational Technology.

He is also a recipient of the Distinguished Alumni Award, honored for his outstanding contributions to the field of education.

Some accomplishments during his presidency at WSU include the increase of enrollment and faculty positions, the growth of public-service outreaches, completion of its first comprehensive fundraising campaign and the development of its first physical master plan.

Along with being president of Wayne State University, Mash also served as the chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire from 1998 to 2005.

The university enrolls 10,500 students while offering both undergraduate and graduate degrees. According to the IUP website, Wisconsin-Eau Claire’s first comprehensive fundraising campaign raised more than $50 million while under Mash’s leadership.

Mash took on leadership roles at George Mason University in Fairfax, Va., which included vice president for student affairs, executive vice president for administration and overseeing facilities planning for residence halls, the student center and recreation and sports facilities.

A Year in Review

By THE PENN STAFF the-penn@iup.edu

Local Attorney offers discount for alcohol, drug offenses – Sept. 5, 2014 A coupon featured in the fall 2014 Campus Special coupon book offered a discount for legal services involving any alcohol, drug or criminal-related offenses.

The coupons, redeemable at the law office of Attorney Robert Muir, sparked mixed reactions among students.

“The coupon kind of makes it seem like they’re encouraging drinking and drug use,” said Dominic Manginell (senior, criminology). “It’ll make students just want to drink more because it’s like, now they have an incentive and will get a discount for their charges.”

Indiana man victim of stabbing – Sept. 16, 2014 Suffering from two stab wounds in the arm, an Indiana man was sent to Allegheny General Hospital Sunday, Sept.

14 for treatment.

Giovanni Brown, 21, was stabbed in the 1300 block of Oakland Avenue at approximately 5:45 p.m. while “involved in a confrontation,” according to an Indiana Borough Police Department news release.

Brown was at the driver’s side window of the vehicle when he was stabbed repeatedly in the arm by one of the vehicle’s occupants.

Brown was taken to Indiana Regional Medical Center and later transferred to Allegheny General Hospital for treatment due to his condition.

IUP police chief retires after three decades of service – Sept. 10, 2014 Sam Clutter, police chief of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Police Department, retired from his position after three decades of service Friday,

Sept. 5. Clutter had many roles in the department, from sergeant to investigator to the chief position he retired from.

Geoscience students to participate in oceanic research expedition – Oct. 17, 2014 Students Michael Barber (junior, geoscience: energy track), Sierra Davis (senior, geoscience: geology track) and Jules Dill (senior, geoscience: environmental track) will have the unique opportunity to embark on an oceanographic research cruise aboard the R/V Knorr lasting five weeks.

The expedition departs from Woods Hole, Mass., and will head southeast to several coring sites, ending about 600 miles east of the Lesser Antilles, a long arc of small islands in the Caribbean Sea. Dr. Steve Hovan, of the geoscience department, will be accompanying the students on what will be his 20th research field study in oceanography, his first in the Atlantic Ocean in almost 30 years.

If all goes well, this expedition could potentially bring to the surface ocean water and sediment that have remained unchanged since the Last Glacial Maximum – a period of earth’s history in which ice sheets were at their most recent maximum extension.

Student Co-op Association elects new CEO – Jan. 23, 2015 Louis F. Garzarelli Jr., an Indiana University of Pennsylvania alumnus, has been chosen to replace former CEO and executive director, Dennis V. Hulings, following his retirement.

“I’ve always wanted to work in a college environment,” Garzarelli said.

He is following in the footsteps of Hulings, who held the position of executive director and CEO of the Co-op for more than 40 years before recently

announcing his retirement.

“He is a great mentor and a great leader,” Garzarelli said.

“I valued him for his ability to allow people to really do the jobs they were hired to do.”

Son suspect in murder of retired professor – Feb. 24, 2015 A retired Indiana University of Pennsylvania geography professor was pronounced dead at Indiana Regional Medical Center after being beaten and left unconscious on her bathroom floor Feb. 20, 2015.

The victim’s son, Todd Royce Walters, 36, was found driving his mother’s car in Altoona and now faces criminal charges for homicide and aggravated assault. Officials said that Walters was traveling with a number of guns from his mother’s house.

At a news conference held Feb. 24, officials said they were unsure why the brutal assault happened.

Wolf visits IUP as Election Day looms only a week away – Oct. 28, 2014 Spirits were high Saturday, Oct. 26 in front of Wallwork Hall on Pratt Drive as the opening words to “Feds Watching” by rapper 2 Chainz played before the arrival of Tom Wolf.

The campaign stop came as part of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations’ (AFL-CIO) “Burgers and Ballots Election Tailgate,” which featured Wolf as a special guest.

The point of the tailgate was to rally support for Wolf – who spent a few minutes flipping burgers and hot dogs – and Kevin Freeburg, a fellow Democrat running against incumbent Republican Dave Reed for Pennsylvania’s 62nd District seat in the State House of Representatives.

Corbett hands out awards for top honors, talks art education funding, tuition increases – Sept. 30, 2014 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 Sept.

28 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 event host.

Giant Eagle Express to close its doors in March – Feb. 27, 2015 Giant Eagle Express announced it will be closing its doors at its South Seventh Street location on March 27.

Giant Eagle Express opened in May 2012 and will close just two months before its third year in operation.

With the closing, 71 employees will be affected, though the company may offer jobs at other Giant Eagle locations, according to The Indiana Gazette. The article states the gas pumps will remain with the GetGo kiosk.

PASSHE passes new IUP per-credit tuition pilot – Jan. 30, 2015 The Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education Board of Governors passed Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s new Tuition Pricing Flexibility Pilot on Jan. 22.

The previous method charged fulltime students a flat rate of $6,820 per year.

A student wishing to take 12 credits in the fall and spring semesters of the 2015-16 school year would pay around $6,336 for the year – a decrease of $484 from the flat-rate yearly amount of

$6,820. A student who wishes to take 15 credits both semesters would pay around $7,920 in tuition for the year – an increase of 16 percent.

When the three-year phase-in period is complete, assuming cost-per-credit remains the same, a student wishing to take two 12-credit semesters will pay around $6,816 per year, saving them $4 compared to the current flat-rate system. A student taking two 15-credit semesters in 2019-20 will pay around $8,520 in tuition for the year – an increase of 25 percent.

Per-credit tuition pilot deferred for one year – April 23, 2015 The previously approved Tuition Pricing Flexibility Pilot was deferred for one year when the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education Board of Governors agreed to Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf ’s request for a one-year tuition freeze across all state universities and state-affiliated colleges.

The pilot program was part of the university’s three-pronged budget approach to solving the budget crisis at Indiana University of Pennsylvania.

The freeze is contingent on the Pennsylvania legislatures approving Govenor Wolf ’s request for a one-year tuition freeze across all state universities and state-affiliated colleges.

This also means that the deferral is contingent with the Pennsylvania Congress approving the budget.

In a Friday email to colleagues, Driscoll discussed the commonality of questions being raised at this time of year due to Congress not approving the budget until July.

IUP Libraries plans stress-reducing activities

By STEPHANIE BACHMAN Staff Writer S.L.Bachman2@iup.edu

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania Libraries is once again hosting DeStress Fest before and during finals week to give students the opportunity to relax and take a break from studying.

IUP Libraries has been working with the Center for Student Life, the Center for Health and Well-Being and the Student Government Association to offer stress-reducing activities since the end of the fall 2013 semester. This year, it became more of an official event, which included expanding the number of days that programs are offered.

De-Stress Fest started Thursday with a Wii gaming session and Super Smash Bros. tournament outside of Java City.

There was also the opportunity for attendees to play games designed by students in Dr. Michael Sell’s Video Games as Literature class.

Other upcoming events include IUP Libraries putting out snacks and drinks for students as part of Food for Finals.

This will be held Sunday through Thursday, starting at 7:30 p.m.

There will also be Chill Out with Canines Monday outside of Java City from 1:30-3:00 p.m. Tuesday will feature a Mindfulness Meditation session led by Active Minds from noon to 2 p.m. in

Stabley 101. This is the third semester the Chill Out with Canines program will be offered It gives students the opportunity to interact with six therapy dogs and service dogs-in-training in order to help alleviate some of the high levels of stress that finals can cause and take their minds off their finals for a short period of time. One of the IUP librarians, Dr. Theresa McDevitt, explained IUP Libraries continues to offer this program because of popular demand.

“This sort of event has been offered during stressful times of the semester in academic libraries across the county with great success for almost a decade,” Mcdevitt said. “We wanted to have therapy dogs and handlers visit our library before, but it was not until we connected with Dr. Mary Jalongo – who has her own therapy dogs and knows other handlers – that we were able to offer the event.

“The program last fall and last year was enormously successful. Hundreds of students stopped to interact with the dogs and their handlers and responded to surveys distributed at the event that interacting with the dogs had helped them feel happier and calmer and felt they would be able to focus better after the interaction.”

Co-op Board finalizes new executive board

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

In a pair of swift meetings, the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Coop Board of Directors finalized its executive board for the upcoming school year Thursday afternoon in the Hadley Union Building’s Knowlton Room.

At its regular meeting, Board Chairman David Piper thanked the outgoing senior board members for their service during their tenures.

Co-op CEO Louis Garzarelli Jr. echoed Piper’s sentiments, as the fiveminute meeting came to a close.

With newly elected board members taking their place at the table, a special meeting convened.

Parliamentary chair Sam Barker opened the meeting by taking nominations for chairman.

Piper was re-elected as chairman and Dr. Josh Castle was also re-elected as

vice-chairperson, both by unanimous decisions.

The only vote of the day came in the race for board secretary, as Student Government Association President Vincent Lopez (sophomore, English and political science) nominated himself.

New board member Emily Waggoner (junior, professional studies in education) also nominated herself.

Upon a ballot vote, Waggoner was voted secretary, while Lopez was then unanimously voted to be the board’s treasury secretary.

The last two offices of assistant treasury secretaries were filled by new member Amy Kinneer (sophomore, College of Education & Education Technology) and James Birch (graduate, biology).

The Co-op Board is set to meet for the first time in the fall semester Sept.

10 for its fall orientation meeting and supper at 3:30 p.m. in the Knowlton Room.

session, it is the first time IUP Libraries is offering such a program during DeStress Fest. The workshop is designed to give students the chance to think more clearly, better understand how they feel and think, be more accepting of who they are and calm themselves during stressful situations such as finals week.

Emily Lazar (graduate, clinical psychology) is the secretary of Active Minds, and she explained why they put on the event and the importance of meditation.

“We chose to do this event so that students could learn more about [mindfulness and mediation],” Lazar said.

“We hope this event will offer some useful skills and encourage students to set time aside to take care of themselves during finals week.

“Mindfulness and meditation are important for students because so much of college life centers on being busy and thinking about future plans and goals and worries. Mindfulness can help students feel less overwhelmed by these things by reminding them to appreciate what’s going on in the present, too.”

As students prepare for finals, McDevitt said she wants “to encourage students to come into the library and spend more time here, reduce their stress levels and hopefully succeed academically.”

SGA holds final meeting, announces new positions

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

The 2015-16 executive positions for the Student Government Association were announced at their final meeting of the semester Tuesday in the Hadley Union Building Allegheny Room.

The meeting was directed by SGA President Marissa Olean (senior, criminology) and Vice President Elijah Rosenthal (senior, political science).

SGA faculty and staff adviser Kevin Foster announced the new positions.

Alex Kavounas (sophomore, marketing) will be representing internal affairs, and Nick Walter (freshman, criminology) will be representing external affairs.

Hailey Tutton (junior, political science, pre law and philosophy) will continue as chief justice of the Board of Arbitration.

Mike Robbibaro (sophomore, business management) will continue as treasurer.

A secretary position had not yet been filled for next year, so all members of SGA voted, and Kayla Straub (sophomore, psychology) was chosen to fill the position.

Also at the meeting, old and new business was addressed among the internal and external department reports, addressing the construction of a bike trail and the extermination of bugs in buildings.

Diana Cesar (junior, management information systems), outgoing director of external affairs, commented on the highway cleanup and thanked everyone for their contributions.

For the 2015-16 school year, Vincent Lopez (sophomore, English and political science) will be SGA president, and Tyron Snead (freshman, political

science) will be vice president.

They were elected in April Graduate assistant Britany Gallagher and Foster gave end-of-the-year speeches to the seniors and the newly appointed executive board members.

“It’s been a long, windy road, but they put you in a direction in which you will be successful,” Foster told Olean and Rosenthal.

“I look forward to working with all of you to see what we can achieve.”

Gallagher also commented on the success and achievements that all the SGA members accomplished.

“For the two years that I’ve been here, I’ve not only been able to watch you learn and grow as student leaders, but I have also grown and learned myself.”

At the end of the meeting, 21 students were sworn into SGA for the 2015-16 school year.

By CHUCK SHEPHERD Marital Enhancement • Saudi Arabia’s very first sex accessory shop (in the holy city of Mecca) should be opening soon, according to news reports – operated by a Moroccan Muslim, backed by the German adult mega-retailer Beate Uhse, and supposedly fully compliant with Islamic law.

Owner Abdelaziz Aouragh told Agence France-Presse he would stock 18 different Islam-appropriate toys for married couples, along with oils and fragrances that he said would enhance the marital experience. (He did not actually describe the toys, but ruled out U.S. mainstays such as inflatable dolls and vibrators.)

One such “halal” sex shop opened in Turkey in 2013, and Aouragh’s financial partner runs a similar enterprise online.

The Continuing Crisis • The February gun-and-baby-carrying workshop in Johnston, Iowa, was so successful that instructor Melody Lauer and CrossRoads Shooting Sports owner Tom Hudson plan more. Lauer insisted that she does not necessarily encourage a baby-holding mother to arm herself, but if she chooses to, safety would of

course require that she be familiar with the tricky procedure of drawing, aiming and firing even though she might be “wearing” a baby in a sling in front of her body. Hudson, noting the fastgrowing market of gun sales to women, said scheduling the workshop “was a nobrainer.”

• What is believed to be America’s only hard-nosed “gang” composed only of gay and transgendered African Americans hopes to have its story told soon by filmmakers – who emphasize the group’s transition from fighters to entrepreneurs working to establish their own clothing line, according to a March report on advocate.com. The gang, originally organized for protection (“We gonna get our respect one way or another,” said one), hails from the violent Washington, D.C., Trinidad neighborhood, yet some of the 200 members (in their teens or early 20s) insist on stilettos, lipstick and mascara (while carrying knives, brass knuckles and mace).

Questionable Judgments • Pioneering British facial surgeon Ninian Peckitt, 63, facing a Medical Practitioners Tribunal in Manchester in April, was accused by a witness of “repeatedly” having punched one patient

in the face during a procedure in order to straighten a fracture. Dr. Peckitt acknowledged having used his hands to “manipulate” bones in the patient’s face, calling it a routine surgery-avoiding procedure sometimes required for extensive injuries.

• Suspicions Confirmed: Two airport screeners at Denver International collaborated in an ongoing ploy in which one, a male, signaled to a female colleague that he had spotted an attractive male passenger in line that he might like to grope. The female would then suddenly notice an “anomaly” in the screening and ask that passenger to stand aside so the male agent could “inspect” him further – by genital and posterior fondling (over his clothing). The two agents were fired in February after a Transportation Security Administration investigator, having been alerted to the scheme, observed it in action.

Inexplicable • From Recent Florida Crime Reports: Mohammed Almarri, 21, was arrested on multiple charges in Tampa on April 12 after illegally entering a neighbor’s apartment in a high-rise and forcing the owner onto the balcony. For reasons undisclosed in the police report,

News

Almarri then allegedly microwaved the man’s wallet in his oven.

Joseph Williams, 35 (and with several pending warrants), was arrested on April 5 in Fort Pierce, Fla., after entering the emergency room at Lawnwood Regional Medical Center and Heart Institute, demanding an enema and refusing to leave until he got one.

Leading Economic Indicators • In the face of jokes about proliferating airline charges, the British economy line easyJet added another fee recently. If easyJet, on its own, cancels a flight, it charges a fee of 10 British pounds (about $15) to notify third parties. The airline said that even though its own decision created the issue, it must nonetheless cover its costs to provide cancellation notices to passengers who miss connections or who need to provide verification to collect on private travel-interruption insurance.

• Is This a Great Country or What?

Counting only the pool of bonus money (not regular salaries), employees of New York securities industries in 2014 earned roughly twice as much as the total income paid to all employees in the United States who worked full time at the federal minimum wage of $7.25,

a statistic reported by the Institute for Policy Studies and backed by a University of Michigan professor that was featured in a March New York Times article.

Wait, What?

• In April, a court in Munich, Germany, ordered a dentist (identified only as “K”) to pay the equivalent of about $21,000 to patient “Alex S” for pulling all of his teeth (19) over four weeks of treatments – as the remedy for his schizophrenia and erectile dysfunction.

The dentist had testified that Alex had too much bone inflammation for ordinary fillings. K made his own claim for the equivalent of about $54,000 for the damage to his professional reputation that the trial had caused, but the court rejected it.

The Redneck Chronicles • Austin Hatfield, 18, reported to an emergency room in April after being bitten on the lip by a venomous cottonmouth viper in Wimauma, Fla. According to a fish and wildlife commission spokesman, Hatfield had been keeping the recently caught snake in an ordinary pillowcase on his bed, and when it got out, Hatfield (ungracefully) recaptured it. The bite was not fatal.

With our 50th and final issue of The Penn hitting the newstand, a journey that started in late August is now complete. The editorial staff gives their parting remarks.

Molly VanWoert, editor-in-chief: This year I have forgotten what it’s like to get more than five hours of sleep, complete homework assignments more than 12 hours before they’re due and go to a restaraunt without copyediting the menu in my head.

I’ve also had the priviledge of working with the most talented, hardworking and extraordinary people I’ve ever known, who have become my very best friends over the course of the year. The Penn newsroom has become one of my favorite places, and I will miss it when I’m gone. Keep reading, IUP, and we’ll keep writing.

Pete Sirianni, managing editor: It’s amazing to think that a year ago, the editorial staff consisted of a bunch of students who liked to write articles and take pictures. A year later, we’re left with friendships and bonds that will last a lifetime. I loved my job, but more importantly, I loved working with some of the most talented people on campus. I just hope everyone finds their dad.

Kayla Cioffo, news editor: For about six months now, I’ve had permanent bags under my eyes that have been well worth it. Not only have I grown professionally while in the newsroom, but I’ve grown personally, having made some of the best memories with the people who share these cubicles with me. Thank you for reading The Penn, IUP, and thank you to my co-workers for making every night a Photoshopping, pizza-eating adventure.

Rachel Clippinger, wet ink editor: The Penn has taught me so many lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Thank you to the editorial staff for the endless laughs and constant support this year at The Penn and outside.

Cody Benjamin, sports editor: Working at The Penn has been much more than a chance to exercise my passion for sports and journalism. It’s been an opportunity to foster a sense of leadership, and with that have come moments of frustration and accomplishment alike. I couldn’t be more grateful for the chance to have served IUP’s student body and surrounding community. And, of course, I’m very much looking forward to doing so again down the road.

Katlynn Resides, photo & new media editor: Serving in two editorial positions has been crazy, and I had to throw a normal sleep schedule out of the window, but it’s been more than worth it. I’ll leave this year with some of the best friendships I could have asked for, and I’m honored to have had the honor of Photoshopping everyone’s face onto something else. That’s all I’ve ever wanted in life.

Samantha Barnhart, copy editor: I love my job, but the best part of working here is being with friends that are some of my favorite goofballs on the planet. Life is short, so eat as much Mexican food as you can.

Alex Robinson, graphic designer: Being the graphic designer for The Penn has been such a great experience for me both socially and professionally. I had the privilege to interract with such kind and friendly individuals in a fun work environment while growing in my design skills. I definitely learned great things that I can take with me into the media field.

Alpha Xi Delta held Two-person show ‘The Guys’ premieres in Waller Hall Friday first “Light It Up Blue 5K”

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

A two-person drama titled “The Guys,” penned by award-winning playwright Anne Nelson, premieres in Waller Hall’s studio Friday.

Based on Nelson’s own experiences, the play examines the aftereffects of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks through the lens of a New York Fire Department chief, Nick, and an editor, Joan, as they prepare eulogies for Nick’s lost firefighters.

The play premiered off-Broadway Dec. 4, 2001, less than three months after the tragedy which inspired it.

“The Guys” opens with a vulnerable, exhausted Nick trying to come to grips with the deaths of his men and a sympathetic but directly unaffected Joan assisting him in writing.

Throughout the show, the characters learn more and more about each other, the lost firemen and themselves as they take their own journeys

through the aftershock of one of the most impactful tragedies in United States history.

Grant Hoogstraten (sophomore, theater) said he researched the events of Sept. 11 in preparation for his role as Nick and gained a deeper understanding of the gravity of those events, an understanding which escapes many who were too young to grasp the horror in 2001.

“Obviously I’ll never fully understand,” Hoogstraten said, “but it gives me some idea.”

Hoogstraten cited the duality of a character such as Nick as a challenge, someone who must balance his human emotions with his status as a rigid leader.

“This is my first time playing this kind of authority figure,” Hoogstraten said.

While there are only two students, Hoogstraten and Andrea Cary (junior, theater) as Joan, on stage for the show’s trim runtime of just over an hour, a third student, Kaitlyn McGilvray (senior, theater) directed the production.

McGilvray, who helmed past IUP productions of the family drama “Proof ” and the Catholic conflict of hierarchy “Doubt,” said she enjoys tackling difficult material.

“I like to direct stories that need to be told,” McGilvray said. “If you can walk away from the show having a discussion, I feel like I’ve done my job as a director.”

McGilvray utilized a minimal set for “The Guys,” using a table, a bench, a chair and a counter to create the living room in which the show takes place.

Nelson forbade the use of images and sound from 9/11 when staging the show, according to McGilvray, wanting audiences to instead focus on the play’s message.

“The Guys” runs for three performances, opening at 8 p.m. Friday and showing twice Saturday, once at 2 p.m. and again at 8 p.m.

Tickets are $3 with an I-Card and $5 without, and may be purchased at the door.

No Ramen, No Problem French Toast

By LAUREN KROMER Staff Writer L.Kromer@iup.edu

Breakfast is often the meal that is skipped the most within the student community.

While it is the most nourishing, it is also the most cost-effective, satisfying one’s hunger.

Breakfast food can also easily be prepared for dinner because it is so quick and convenient.

However, this recipe will be a bit more advanced than pouring a bowl of corn flakes and pouring milk over the top.

Start off by preheating the oven to 375 degrees.

Whisk together 3 eggs, 1 cup of milk and 3 tablespoons of sugar in a shallow dish.

Soak the bread of your choosing in the egg mixture and turn once, so both sides are coated.

Then, transfer the bread into 3 cups of crushed cornflakes. Coat both sides in the cereal.

Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Cook each piece of toast for 3 minutes on each side.

Once all are cooked, transfer to a baking sheet and place in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes, or until cooked through.

Top with fresh fruit, jam or traditional syrup.

For students in the dorms, or who only have a microwave, you can also enjoy French toast.

First, cube your bread. Any bread will work.

Spray two large mugs with cooking

spray or spread butter around the inside.

Place the bread into the mug.

In a separate cup, mix together 1 egg, 3 tablespoons milk and a dash of cinnamon.

Pour half of the egg mixture into one of the mugs with bread, and pour the rest into the second mug.

Let it sit for one minute so the bread can absorb the egg mixture.

Cook one mug at a time in the microwave for one minute, adding ten seconds at a time after, or until it is cooked to your liking.

Do the same for the second mug.

Top with syrup and enjoy with your roommate.

Make it a complete meal by adding a side of sausage or bacon, and enjoy a glass of orange juice or coffee.

Graduating senior prepared to enter real world

By SAMANTHA BARNHART Copy Editor S.E.Barnhart@iup.edu

His future is living up to his name.

A week away from graduation, senior Cory Bright (crisis aversion) is completely ready for the rest of his life.

Bright’s mother, Cheryl, said he’s been planning ahead since three weeks after his birth.

“His first word was ‘401k,’” she said.

“From there on out, I’ve gotten even prouder of my son every day of his life.

“In first grade, he drew a picture of putting my husband and I in Cherry Woods Retirement Home, the premier Active Retirement Community in Pennsylvania,” Cheryl Bright said. “His ability to plan so far ahead has always impressed me.”

After carefully planning his entire life out over the last 21 years, Bright’s hard work is beginning to pay off.

“I’m really excited to begin the rest of my life after graduat-

ing,” Bright said. “Some of my fellow classmates are afraid to move onto the next stage, but I couldn’t be more thrilled.”

Bright’s planning has been so specific that literally every aspect has been considered.

“Back in February, I applied to my dream job: working as a veterinarian at an animal hospital in Maine,” Bright said. “Maine has a lot of puffins, which are my favorite birds.

“A week later, I was hired. Next week, I’m moving with my fiancé, Kate Slater, to Maine.

I’m so excited to spend the rest of my life nursing baby puffins back to health.”

For several weeks in March, Bright compared several homes for sale in Maine.

In April, Bright and Slater purchased a sensible, three bedroom home located 5 miles from the animal hospital.

“We were able to purchase our dream home with a very low interest rate because of our great credit scores,” Bright said. “We’ve both already paid off all our

college loans.”

They also recently purchased a reliable, safe, fuel-efficient used car that is already in Maine.

The engaged couple is a perfect pair, Slater said.

“I met Cory three years ago when we were both volunteering at a food bank on Thanksgiving,” Slater said. “Ever since our eyes met over the mashed potatoes, I’ve been completely sure that he’s my soul mate.

“I couldn’t be any happier,” she said.

“I feel amazing knowing that I met my soul mate at 18 years old and get to spend the rest of my life with the perfect man.”

A fellow graduating senior, Kathy Tart (theater philosophy) was unable to comment on Bright’s story between all of her sobs.

“I am so ready to face the world head-on,” Bright said.

Thursday, Bright and Slater applied to the Gerber Life Grow-up Plan after agreeing on the very first baby name proposed.

Students showcase ‘Elements’ fashion show for class project

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

Students in a fashion show production class held a free fashion show titled “Elements” Wednesday in Sutton Hall’s Blue Room.

The theme of the show depicted wind, fire, earth and water.

A Fashion show production class FSMR 358, focuses on developing an understanding of fashion through image, language and events, according to the undergraduate catalog.

About 20 models walked the runway, and 15 dressers helped the girls to quickly change their outfits between transitions.

“All the clothing that the models are wearing came from our own closets,” said Alaya Scott (senior, fashion merchandising), coordinator of the event.

“It was actually really fun to see all the different clothing variations that we made with our own stuff.”

All of the models were student volunteers that were friends, classmates or sorority sisters of the girls that organized and coordinated the fashion show.

Alpha Phi Alpha sister and model for the event Savannah Buday (freshman, dietetics) said she had a really great time being a part of the show.

“I heard about it through one of my

sisters,” Buday said, “and I’m glad I was able to be a part of it. It was a really fun time.”

Phi Kappa Psi brothers also volunteered for the event by handing out pamphlets at the beginning of the show and spray painting themselves to become a part of the theme.

While the theme of the show was earth, water, wind and fire, the girls managed to incorporate spring and summer patterns into the outfits.

We came to the show because our friends were models,” Bailey Botterbusch (freshman, criminology) said.

Caitlin Sippel (freshman, English: pre-law) enjoyed some of the summer clothes modeled at the show.

“It was really cute,” SippeL said.

“They definitely showed nice summer clothes.”

Donations were accepted before, during and after the show, and all proceeds go toward funding the Indiana Community Garden.

The Indiana Community Garden helps to grow healthy food, encourage sustainability and build community through its educational and gardenrelated activities, according to the pamphlet provided at the beginning of the show.

Students, Indiana community members, faculty and even younger children were in attendance.

IUP Jazz Ensemble and SuperSax BEC Weekend Ensemble to perform Saturday presents dance

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

The 15th annual Indiana University of Pennsylvania Jazz Festival, featuring both the IUP Jazz Ensemble and the IUP SuperSax Ensemble, begins Saturday.

The SuperSax Ensemble is unique to this semester, being made up of five saxophones and a rhythm section – piano, bass, drums and auxiliary percussion – under the direction of IUP saxophone professor Dr. Keith Young.

The Jazz Ensemble, which has been active at IUP since 1938, will host and feature celebrated jazz flutist Jim Walker during its half of the two-bands-in-one concert.

Walker, who was previously a classical flutist, will be featured on three Jazz Ensemble pieces, including the blisteringly fast, chop-busting jazz standard “Cherokee.”

As IUP trumpet professor Dr. Kevin

E. Eisensmith jokingly put it, he will be “turning to the dark side.”

The multi-faceted flute player has performed everywhere from the Pittsburgh Symphony to the Los Angeles Philharmonic and can be heard on movie soundtracks like the Disney films “Aladdin” and “Pocahontas.”

Walker’s collective filmography credits are especially formidable, with more than 750 soundtracks bearing his name from 1988 to 2010, according to his website.

“Few other flutists in history have made such indelible marks in so many musical circles,” Walker’s website said.

The SuperSax Ensemble will also highlight a musical legend, as they plan to premiere an original work by former IUP music department chair Jack Stamp titled “’S’ to the Fourth Power (SuperSax Samba in Seven).”

As part of the Jazz Festival, Walker will be offering two clinics. The first, on flute playing, will be Friday at 6 p.m. in Cogswell Hall Room 121. The second,

on jazz improvisation, will be Saturday at 1 p.m. in Fisher Auditorium.

Both are free and open to the public.

Many students plan on taking advantage of this opportunity.

One student in Jazz Ensemble, Sadie Spencer (junior, music education) expressed gratitude at the opportunities that big band-style playing offered her.

“Jazz Ensemble at IUP helps you to open up, express and learn that it’s not just the black and white on the page but the musician’s elucidation,” Spencer said.

“We create the bond, we create the fun, we create the groove; we create the music.”

The concert begins at 3 p.m. Saturday, with the SuperSax Ensemble performing first.

Tickets for the event are $6 with an I-Card, $8 for senior citizens and $10 for general admission, and may be purchased at the Hadley Union Building box office or at the door.

Ryan Uhl: IUP’s home-run king

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

In 2010, it took Kyle Stryker 55 games to break Indiana University of Pennsylvania Hall-of-Famer Kevin McMullan’s single-season home-run record.

He hit 13, one more than McMullan.

Fast forward five years, when senior first baseman Ryan Uhl BASEBALL (finance) matched that number and eclipsed it in just less than half the number of games, 25.

“It was a pretty cool feeling to break that record because Kyle Stryker was a very, very good hitter,” Uhl said. “To even be mentioned in the same category is an honor.”

Not only did Uhl set the single-season record, but he surpassed McMullan, currently an assistant coach on the University of Virginia baseball team, to become IUP’s career home-run leader.

Through breaking these two records, Uhl ensured his coronation as IUP’s new home-run king. Furthermore, his performance throughout the remainder of the season guaranteed that his reign will be one worth remembering.

Uhl finished the season with 29 round-trippers and 42 for his career.

In addition to being an IUP record, his single-season amount is a Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference record and the second most in NCAA Division II history.

That’s not all, as Uhl set single-season school records in runs batted in with 74, total bases with 339, and slugging percentage with 1.085. Uhl also drew 33 walks, eight of which were intentional, and scored 53 runs, which are second and fifth all time, respectively. He did all of this while hitting .415 and striking out only 21 times in 142 at-bats, an impressive 6.76 strikeout percentage.

Fellow senior Austin Mock (exercise science) went so far as to call Uhl’s season not only one of the best in IUP history, but one of the best in college

1

baseball history.

“He rewrote many career and season records during his senior campaign, and it was really something to watch,” he said. “I was fortunate enough to hit in front of him and jog around the bases on a lot of his 29 home runs.”

Mock himself passed Stryker in the record books as well, as he hit 16 home

runs on the year. The “Bash Bros,” which is the nickname Mock says Uhl came up with for the duo, hit 45 combined home runs, 10 more than any other tandem in Division II. “Austin and I do just about everything together,” Uhl said.

“He’s my brother, and for it all to happen our senior year makes it that much better.”

Looking at Uhl’s senior season at-large, it is all the more impressive considering his three prior seasons wearing crimson, as he hit 13 home runs and 74 RBIs combined.

U h l e x plained what fueled his breakout year.

“I took a new approach at the plate and just tried to hit the ball hard,” he said. “I’ve had a lot of help in getting to where I am. There are things I’ve learned from so many different people who have

been around the game for years.”

Indeed, the 6-foot-6 smasher has come a long way from hitting Wiffle balls in the backyard with his mother. His breakout year has not gone unrecognized either, as Uhl was named National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association NCAA Division II National Hitter of the Week twice and PSAC West Hitter of the Week twice, and he also made All-PSAC first team. With regional and national awards to be announced in the coming weeks, Uhl might be receiving more recognition.

So all this begs a question: Did Uhl record the greatest offensive season in IUP history?

While an argument can be made, Uhl himself denied such a label, as he had another name in mind.

“No, I would have to say Paul Bingham had the best offensive performance in IUP history,” he said. “He batted around .463 with 12 triples, 13 doubles and 45 stolen bases in one year.

“Those 12 triples is a record that, in my opinion, will never be touched.”

Bingham’s superb Crimson Hawks

May 1, 2015

career, which included him setting multiple school records and being named an All-American his senior year, earned him a spot in an MLB farm system when the San Diego Padres selected him in the 20th round of the 2010 MLB Amateur Draft.

After his dominating senior season and an overall quality career, perhaps Uhl is destined for a similar fate.

“There have been a few scouts at the games, but only time will tell,” Uhl said.

If that happened, Uhl would join Bingham and six others as the only IUP players to ever be drafted.

It would be yet another honor to add to a long list.

Despite having such a prestigious season, Uhl said that all of the records and honors do not soften the blow of missing the PSAC Tournament this season.

IUP fell just a few games shy of the final playoff berth in the PSAC West, finishing with a 22-21-1 record.

“Making the playoffs has been the goal year in and year out, and to not make it my senior year was heartbreaking,” he said.

As disappointed as Uhl is, he expressed nothing but positive feelings about his time at IUP. “Playing baseball here at IUP is a privilege and an honor,” he said.

This is not surprising to Mock, who played beside Uhl for four years.

“He was a great guy in the dugout as a teammate,” he said. “He always stayed positive and always had one thing on his mind: winning.

“That was his goal for the whole year, and he was going to the plate trying to make the team better. And for a lot of his at-bats, he made the team better.”

With his collegiate career now over, Uhl encouraged the team’s underclassmen

to appreciate the time they have on Owen J. Dougherty Field.

“If I could give words of advice to my younger teammates, it would be to never take putting that IUP jersey on for granted,” Uhl said.

Crimson Hawks top Kutztown in playoffs

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

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania softball team defeated Kutztown University Thursday, rebounding from an opening-game loss in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Championships.

In a prior three-day span of three doubleheaders, the Crimson Hawks split SOFTBALL wins with Mercyhurst University and Gannon University, while dominating Edinboro University to end the regular spring season.

That streak helped the women clinch the fourth seed in the PSAC Championships in Quakertown.

“We are super excited to be in the conference tourney this year,” said head coach Bill Graham. “These kids have worked so hard battling the opponents and Mother Nature all year.

“We figured it would take six wins to get it, and that’s exactly what we got,” he said.

Indiana University of Pennsylvania went out with a bang during the final game against Edinboro, winning 4-3 and 16-7 with 26 total hits Tuesday.

The highlight was the five-inning triumph in Game 2. IUP tallied 19 hits, including home runs by Allison Viguers (junior, marketing) and Lauren Hogue (junior, psychology).

However, the game did not start as well as it ended. The Fighting Scots opened with five runs at the top of the first inning. But in the bottom, the Hawks swung back with five sturdy runs and a homer by Hogue, leaving IUP with a 6-5 lead.

“The fact that Edinboro scored five runs in the first inning really put us in attack mode,” Viguers said.

IUP’s momentum continued as Hogue and Meghan Carney (senior, early childhood and special education) hit back-to-back doubles attributing to four runs in the second. In the third, Hogue doubled to left center, and Carney hit a fly to left center. Viguers knocked one over the fence in the fourth, finalizing the Hawks’ 16 runs.

“I could not wipe the smile off my

face,” Viguers said. “I could not be happier to help my team in any way possible.”

Edinboro tried to gain a decent comeback in the fifth, but only managed to tally two more runs.

By the fourth inning in the next game, the Hawks had a 4-2 lead until Edinboro scored in the seventh to end the competition with a 4-3 score.

In Monday’s competition against Gannon, IUP split the game with a 3-4 loss and 6-4 victory.

Rachel Francis (junior, psychology) decorated Game 2 with two over-thefence hits and a game-tying solo shot.

By the bottom of the third, the score read 4-1 in Gannon’s favor. But Francis smashed a homer to center, scoring Viguers in the fourth and another to right center in the sixth.

Two more runs were added in the sixth by Carney and Taylor Mercurio (freshman, nursing) as IUP won, 6-4.

The opening game resulted in extra innings after Gannon scored three runs by the fifth and IUP scored three by the sixth. The Lakers pulled through with back-to-back hits, winning 4-3.

IUP proved control in the opening game against Mercyhurst Sunday, with five unanswered runs, tallying a 5-1 win but losing 8-9 in the second.

Although the Lakers took the lead in the first inning, the Hawks retaliated with three in the second.

Hannah Mercer (sophomore, marketing) and Megan Gould (sophomore, early childhood and special education) each drove in runs as Mercurio took home plate on a wild pitch.

On a triple to right center, Mercer recorded another run in the fourth inning. IUP’s fifth run came off an RBI from Stefanie McCoy (senior, exercise science) in the sixth.

In Game 2, Mercyhurst played full throttle with six quick runs by the second inning.

The Crimson Hawks, however, scored four runs in the bottom off runscoring hits from Amy Fairman (senior, sports administration) and Viguers.

McCoy blasted a solo homer in the fourth.

After Mercurio stole third base and tied the game for extra innings, Mercyhurst took a 9-8 lead to wrap up the game.

IUP preps for Regionals as No. 1-ranked team

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

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania golf team finished in second place at the 52nd annual Cecil C. Spadafora Invitational, April 20.

The tournament, played Sunday and Monday at the Indiana Country Club, featured teams from 13 colleges and a total field of 73 competitors.

In individual action, Michael Hoare (freshman, marketing) and Max Kirsch (sophomore, undeclared business) finGOLF ished tied for second to lead the Crimson Hawks, both shooting a 1-under-par score of 141.

Kirsch led the field after the first round with a 3-under 68; however, he couldn’t hold the lead.

Both he and Hoare finished only one stroke behind Conor Gilbert of Millersville University, the individual tournament champion.

However, Hoare and Kirsch were only two of five IUP golfers to finish in the top 25 on the individual leaderboard. Jack Owen (senior, sport admin-

istration) tied for 13th with a 3-over 145, while Brett Geiser (junior, management) and Josh Bartley (freshman, business management) both tied for 25th with 6-over 148s.

In team action, IUP’s 581 score was good for a second place finish, four strokes behind champion Allegheny College.

California University of Pennsylvania finished third, while Round 1 leader West Liberty University and Millersville rounded out the top five team finishers on the day.

Also competing in the tournament were fellow Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference members West Chester University (seventh place), Clarion University (ninth) and the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown (13th).

IUP’s second place finish is its best of the 2015 season thus far.

Its previous high was third place, a feat it accomplished twice – in the NCAA Division II Regional Preview as well as the St. James Plantation Invitational.

The Crimson Hawks now prepare for the NCAA Division II Atlantic/East Regional, scheduled to be held May 4 to May 6 at the Longaberger Golf

Course in Nashport, Ohio.

IUP won the Regional Tournament in 2014 and advanced all the way to the NCAA Division II Championships, where they tied for seventh.

After also winning Regionals in 2013, the Crimson Hawks are favored to repeat yet again as they sit at No. 1 in the NCAA’s Atlantic rankings.

IUP is led by Kenneth Sames (junior, business), who didn’t participate in the Spadafora Invitational.

Sames, a two-time Second Team All-PSAC selection, has the best stroke average on the team with a 74.5, while Kirsch ranks second with a 76.4 average.

The current crop of IUP duffers has a long tradition of excellence behind them, as the Crimson Hawks golf team has qualified for the National Championships on 32 separate occasions, the third best total among all NCAA Division II schools in the country.

Despite that impressive resume, IUP has never managed to bring home a national title.

If the season thus far has been any indication, the 2015 team has as good a chance as any before it to finally accomplish that goal.

Crimson Hawks begin to lay foundation for summer

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

It was back in November when Indiana University of Pennsylvania head football coach Curt Cignetti sat in his office surrounded by students and reporters alike.

The young Crimson Hawks had just concluded their season against the West Chester Golden Rams on Senior Day. “There’s an old motFOOTBALL to in coaching: For every freshman you start, you’re going to lose a game,” Cignetti said following that contest.

The Crimson Hawks ended up starting 10 freshman last year.

Players who would return, including Eddie Stockett (freshman, business), were already expressing their excitement for the upcoming season. And after a cold and tumultuous winter, the Crimson Hawks were finally able to move their workouts outside to the Miller Stadium turf.

Many players stood out and got opportunities in what could only be called an injury-riddled spring. Walt Pegues (freshman, communications media), Sean McVay (junior, management), Kevin Clarke (junior, kinesiology health & sport science), Miles Williamson (freshman, business) and Steve Franco (junior, marketing) all missed time during spring ball because of surgeries.

Despite the injuries, Cignetti noted multiple players that had breakout spring sessions. Among those suitors were running backs Luigi Lista-Brinza (freshman, kinesiology health & sport science) and Chris Temple (freshman, accounting). Kidus Woldeyes (freshman, computer science) also excelled on offense, spending the majority of spring as the only active center on the roster.

“This was the first opportunity for a

lot of the freshman who played last year to go through spring ball,” Cignetti said.

Many of those youngsters used the spring to adjust to some tweaks the Crimson Hawks have installed as part of their revamped pistol offense.

“There are some new elements [to the offense],” Cignetti said. “But there is new elements to the offense every year.”

On the defensive side of the ball, IUP will return a couple of players who have plenty of experience. Safety Eric Williams (senior, criminology) along with linebacker Dorian Lane (senior, accounting) look to be part of a unit that seems to be getting into their groove very early.

“Some of the injuries on offense maybe hurt the progress a little bit, but still gave other young players an opportunity to prove themselves,” Cignetti said. “I think, without question, the defense is ahead of the offense right now.”

Frustration seemed to follow the Crimson Hawks throughout their 6-5 campaign, but the team was moving in the right direction. You could see the foundation being laid. Fast forward past National Signing Day and a couple of intersquad scrimmages, and IUP finds itself in a very similar position as before.

Another strong recruiting class should allow the Crimson Hawks to spring into summer with a sense of great enthusiasm and energy.

“The message is we have to have a great summer,” Cignetti said. “Guys have to come back in great shape and ready to go for fall camp.”

It will be critical for the Crimson Hawks to put in the necessary work during the dog days of summer. The results of that work will come to fruition during fall camp and throughout the entire season.

The Crimson Hawks will tentatively report for camp Aug. 12. They will open up the 2015 regular season at home against Kutztown University Sept. 12.

Sports MARCH OF THE

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

Let’s make one thing absolutely clear.

These Pittsburgh Penguins were doomed.

Any team playing without three of its four best defensemen – each one of them an outstanding passer in a system based on puck possession – shouldn’t be expected to advance in the Stanley Cup playoffs. Especially when its foe is the very best team in the NHL. The Penguins threatened at times and played well considering all the injuries, but couldn’t deliver a knockout punch and fell to the Rangers in five games.

Not everything taken from the Eastern Conference quarterfinals should be seen as a negative. Marc-Andre Fleury removed any lingering doubts about his play and re-established himself as a bigtime goaltender.

The kind that can lead a team to the Stanley Cup if given a strong supporting cast.

Sadly, though, he didn’t have one against the Rangers.

The news came out after the series had ended that Evgeni Malkin, Patric Hornqvist and David Perron all battled through injury to play.

Hornqvist certainly didn’t look tentative, crashing the net with his usual gusto and generally wreaking havoc all over the ice.

Malkin and Perron, though, were largely invisible and contributed only a single point (an assist by Perron) between them.

What they would have been able to do if healthy, we’ll never know. But injuries are a part of hockey, and the Penguins’ inability to overcome them – a difficult task, to be sure – meant that the franchise was bumped from the playoffs in the opening round for the first time since 2011.

With the book closed on the 201415 season, the eyes of Penguins’ fans look to the future.

Many fans will call for a complete overhaul, starting at the top with General Manager Jim Rutherford and head coach Mike Johnston and continuing through until most of the roster is gutted.

It’s a knee-jerk reaction, and understandable, but also not the smart move.

Pittsburgh certainly has the foundation of a championship team with a core of Crosby, Malkin, Kris Letang and Fleury along with a bevy of talented, cheap, young defensemen.

That’s a fine start, but steps must be made this summer to get the Penguins back into the ranks of the elite.

They simply must get younger and faster, especially at winger, if they are to compete in the modern NHL. Crosby and Malkin spent most of the year playing with players that, frankly, don’t have the raw talent to succeed alongside two of the best centers in the world.

A stronger group of role players is essential. Shedding Chris Kunitz and Rob Scuderi and their exorbitant salary-cap hits is the first step.

If trades can be worked out, great.

If not, a buyout of one or both makes sense.

Next year’s Penguins should look different than the product usually trotted out onto the CONSOL Energy Center.

If this season taught us anything, it’s that youth and speed is the way of the new NHL. Unless Pittsburgh follows that model, don’t expect results that differ from those of the past few seasons.
