IUP to host 11th annual LGBT Film Festival

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

The Indiana Cares Campaign to End Homophobia is set to hold its 11th annual LGBT Film Festival beginning Sunday.

Each year, a panel of judges from ICC view nearly 200 films and narrow it down to the few that are shown during the festival. The committee is comprised of both community members and IUP students. They judge the films on variety, comedy and drama. Most of the films are new releases and have not been released on DVD yet. These films are about LGBT topics and characters.

“These films are lively, engaging and thought provoking,” Lynne Alvine, ICC member, said.

Each Sunday in October, there will be films to watch in the Beard Auditorium in Stouffer Hall. The movies will begin at 6 p.m. and are free of charge.

There will be a donation jar available for people to donate if they wish.

The opening night, Sunday, will start at 5 p.m. with an opening reception that

is available to the entire campus and community members.

“The LGBT Film Festival is for everyone, regardless of gender identification or sexual orientation,” Alvine said.

The ICC is a group that was formed out of the Indiana Progressive Alliance group in 2002. A few of the first members were Dr. Robert B. Heasley and Susan M. Comfort. Heasley has been a sociology professor at IUP since 2000.

Comfort is an associate professor in the English department.

“The movies shown at the LGBT Film Festival are entertaining and relatable,” Chelsea Kuntz (senior, criminology) said. “They provide an informative insight into the lives of LGBTQIA individuals and the issues they face.”

IUP Pride Alliance is a group at IUP that talks about LGBTQIA issues and helps to maintain a safe learning and social place for everyone, regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Recently, they had a picnic for the ICC group, and they also had a table at the Northern Appalachian Folk Festival.

ICC will also have a float in the upcoming Indiana Homecoming parade.

Be an inspiration to all on campus.

Acoustic, Art Night provides peaceful environment

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

Every Wednesday night from 8 to 10 p.m., Indiana University of Pennsylvania students gather in Suites on Maple East to express their creativity through acoustic music and art.

The weekly event promotes a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere. Bean-bag chairs placed in a circle around room G-18 encourage both conversation and jamming.

Normally, around 15 people show up to the event every week. Many students who regularly attend the event look forward to it as a time to relieve stress from the beginning of the week.

Chloe Shupe (junior, marketing) and Theresa Illo (sophomore, biology and ecology) have been coming to Acoustic

October 3, 2014

and Art Night for two years, and now they are in charge of the event.

“I think we’re pretty low-key here,” Shupe said. “The main point of the night is really to just meet people and express your creativity. I think it’s a really welcoming environment.”

Richard Loftus (freshman, College of Fine Arts) said he enjoys coming to Acoustic and Art Night because of the welcoming, peaceful environment and friendly people.

The club is supported by BACCHUS (Boosting Alcohol Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students). The organization provides funds for the snacks and art supplies that are used for the weekly event.

“It’s really just whatever everyone wants to do,” Illo said. “If you want to do art, we have that, or if you want to

play some music we have that, too. Or, you can just hang out.”

Guitars are available to be used if students do not have their own to bring.

Students can also bring instruments such as drums, banjos, basses and even bongos. Anything that can be transported to the event is welcome.

The club also provides art supplies for those who wish to paint or draw.

“It’s the best job ever,” Shupe said.

“They say you’re never going to do what you love for a living, but I just eat snacks and hang out with everyone. It’s awesome.”

On the Wednesday before Halloween – Oct. 29 – the club will be carving pumpkins at the event. Interested students can find more information about on the event’s Facebook page by searching IUP Acoustic and Art Night.

Pentagon sends weapons, other materials to Georgia colleges, schools

By JANEL DAVIS AND ERIC STIRGUS MCT

Scenes this summer of police in armored vehicles and riot gear launching tear gas on protesters in Ferguson, Mo., have brought increased scrutiny of a federal program that transfers surplus military supplies to local law enforcement agencies.

Georgia colleges and school systems are among those who have taken advantage of the program. Some have acquired refrigerators, firefighting gear and even an electric floor polisher.

Others obtained assault-style rifles better known for their use in combat, spurring calls for limits on the program.

University and school officials, many of them citing past campus shootings at places such as Virginia Tech and Newtown, Conn., have said they need the weapons to protect their students.

The 1033 program, named for a part of the National Defense Authorization Act, has been around since the 1990s and extends to local agencies, including school systems and public state colleges and universities.

In Georgia, a handful of school law enforcement agencies – in three public school districts and at six colleges or universities – have participated in the program, according to data obtained from the Georgia Department of Public Safety. (Emory University’s Police Department received two pair of nightvision goggles but is returning them because the private school is no longer eligible to participate in the program,

school officials said.)

Police departments for the Dooly County school system and Fort Valley State University received a mix of supplies, cleaning equipment and wet weather gear.

In addition to dozens of ponchos, duffle bags and sleeping bags, Fulton County Schools received two Humvees, which district officials say have been helpful during inclement weather.

Other school systems, including the Bibb County School District, have gotten a collection of combat rifles, such as M-16s and M-14s.

Officials from Bibb, which received five M-14 rifles, did not respond to calls for comment.

Last week, leaders from about a dozen national civic and education organizations, including Gwinnett SToPP (Gwinnett Parent Coalition to Dismantle the School to Prison Pipeline) and the NAACP, signed on to a letter asking the Defense Logistics Agency to stop arming school police with military weapons through the program.

Also last week, Democratic U.S. Rep. Hank Johnson of DeKalb County filed the Stop Militarizing Law Enforcement Act, which would limit the program by preventing local agencies from receiving certain weapons such as tanks, flash-bang grenades, rocket launchers and all guns greater than .50-caliber.

“It’s so unfortunate that our society has come to this, that we feel that more militarizing will actually solve a problem. It has yet to do that,” said Marlyn Tillman, a co-founder of Gwinnett SToPP, which opposes stationing police

in schools.

“We’re turning to a solution that really is the problem.”

But public safety officials in Georgia and across the country say the weapons are needed to protect school campuses and students in case of emergencies, such as the massacre at Virginia Tech in 2007, when a student killed 32 people.

Officials called the mass shooting a turning point for school safety.

“That caused our Police Department – as well as just about every other police agency around the country – to re-evaluate its training, protocols and preparedness,” said John Lester, a spokesman for Columbus State University.

CSU police received three M-16s, records show. The weapons were part of Columbus State’s “active shooter” preparedness efforts, Lester said. “Fortunately,” he said, “we have never had to use them.”

The benefit of the program is that it allows campus departments to have weapons that have already been widely used by law enforcement agencies, Kennesaw State Police Chief Roger Stearns said. For years, the bad guys had been better armed than police, he said.

KSU received four M-16s and two M-14s through the program. The six rifles are assigned to officers who have completed 30-plus hours in rifle training.

“We have more than 25,000 students, then add faculty and staff ... a university is a small city,” Stearns said.

“We have a responsibility to provide the same level of protection as that provided by any other city.”

IUP turns the Red Zone green

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

Turning the Red Zone Green was the theme of Wednesday’s workshop in Suites of Maple East, hosted by Assistant Director of Health AWAREness and Women’s Program, Alisia Drew.

The Red Zone is defined as the beginning of the semester to Thanksgiving break: when most sexual assaults occur.

In order to put an end to this Red Zone, Drew described three steps.

Drew said that we must support survivors, step up and be active bystanders and change the culture of women being viewed as sexual objects.

The workshop was very interactive, and students participated and communicated about what can be done to help prevent sexual assault and violence on campus.

The Green Light Campaign was something that Drew touched on, saying, “students started the campaign to actively take a stand against violence.

“They created a green button which they wear around campus to support survivors and to step up,” Drew said.

Another aspect to the workshop was discussing ways in which the communi-

ty of IUP can help those who have been assaulted.

Some of those ways are being there as a friend, suggesting support, trusting and never blaming the victim.

“We want to create a culture on IUP campus where survivors feel safe,” Drew said, “and to develop an environment for people to grow and prosper.”

In accordance with October being Domestic Violence Awareness Month, there will be tables in Suites on Maple East for people to stop and talk with one another.

Drew also mentioned that the Haven Project is currently planning events for the month of October. However, they are very active on The Beak, The Daily, Twitter and Crimson Connect.

“What I hope students take from the workshop is that this is our campus,” Drew said.

“We know that students want a place where they feel safe and where violence isn’t taking place,” she said, “and everyone can be involved in that. It’s important for everyone because we are all impacted by violence.

“We all have a role to take in ending it by turning the red zone green. “ Drew said.

“Songs, Sonnets and Stolen Lines” featured in Kipp Gallery Gallery open from Sept. 11 through Oct. 16

By MARY ROMEO Staff Writer the-penn@iup.edu

“Songs, Sonnets and Stolen Lines” is introducing a series of paintings and drawings by contemporary artist Teresa Getty in KIPP Gallery of Sprowls Hall from Sept. 11 to Oct. 16.

Upon graduating from the Art Institute of Chicago in 2004, Getty received her MFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2007.

Getty is not only a painter: She is also a mother and educator of undergraduate courses at UW-Masison.

Getty expresses a unique take on perfection in her artwork.

“As much as I am willing to embrace temporality,” Getty said, “I want to embrace vain notions of per-

fection; endeavoring to hold, while simultaneously scoffing at the notion of peaceable and perfect outcomes,” according to TeresaGetty.com Her work is ultimately inspired by memories from her childhood and includes rhymes, song lyrics and poems.

The reason for the title of the gallery being Songs, Sonnets and Stolen Lines is because, according to her website, she would listen to music that influenced the titles of her pieces.

“At other times a song may trigger a memory of a book, a childhood story

Angry Birds maker Rovio to cut jobs by as much as 16 percent

By ANDREA CHANG Los Angelos Times MCT

Angry Birds maker Rovio Entertainment Ltd. will cut as much as 16 percent of its workforce after building up its staff too quickly following the success of its most popular game.

In a blog post Thursday titled “Towards a simplified organization,” Chief Executive Mikael Hed said that in order to succeed in a fast-moving business, the company needed to better adapt to change.

He called the layoffs of as many as 130 people in Finland, where the company is based, “painful measures,” but didn’t offer details on what kinds of jobs would be cut and when.

“It is never easy to consider changes

like this,” he said, “but it is better to do them sooner rather than later, when we are in a good place to reignite growth.”

Hed said the mobile games maker had built out its team based on assumptions of faster growth that didn’t materialize. It currently has about 800 employees.

The privately held company will now focus on three key businesses with the highest growth potential: games, media and consumer products.

Angry Birds, a slingshot game involving birds and pigs, became a global phenomenon after its 2009 release, quickly reaching the top spot in Apple’s App Store chart. It has been downloaded more than 1 billion times.

The franchise has also spawned licensing deals that include plush toys and children’s books.

or a poem,” she wrote on her website.

“These memories then shape or inform the title of the piece.”

Some of the pieces featured at the gallery were stuck in a love story, and someone has to kill all the monsters to save the world.

The gallery extends over the course of 36 days. The gallery is open Tuesday through Thursday from 12-4 p.m.

Other exhibits that will be featured at the the KIPP Gallery is The Mountain and The Bumblebee, open Oct. 30 through Dec. 5; 2015 Master of Fine Arts and Thesis Exhibition, open Feb. 7 through March 5 and Name is The Surface, open March 19 through April 16.

IUP professor performs ‘Wiser than Leaves’

Officials expand search for US Ebola patient’s contacts, order 4 to stay home

By MOLLY HENNESSYFISKE, TINA SUSMAN AND DAVID ZUCCHINO (MCT)

(Photos by Alex Robinson/ The Penn) Dr. Laura Ferguson (music education) performed Robert Bradshaw’s ‘Wiser than Leaves’ among other songs during her recital on Thursday.

Nicholas Adams (senior, music) accompanied Dr. Ferguson’s performance on Thursday.

Health officials drastically broadened the scope of their search Thursday for people who might have had contact with an Ebola patient and issued a public health order requiring four people who had shared an apartment with the man to stay inside the home after they ignored earlier orders to not go out.

A bleak image emerged of the apartment in Dallas’ Five Points area where Thomas Eric Duncan spent time before being taken to Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital on Sunday and put into isolation.

His soiled sheets and clothes were sealed in a plastic bag. The mattress he had used was pushed up against a wall.

Health officials were arranging for food to be delivered and scrambled to find a company willing to clean the apartment and remove the items used

by Duncan.

“There has been a little bit of hesitancy among entities who want to do that,” David Lakey, the state’s health commissioner, told reporters.

Duncan, a Liberian who arrived in the United States on Sept. 19, remained hospitalized in serious condition. A guard was posted outside his room, and he was not permitted visitors, but Lakey said Duncan had a phone and was talking to relatives and friends.

Questions remained about why Duncan had been sent away from the hospital after his first visit to the emergency room, only to be rushed back two days later sicker than before, and how many people might have been in contact with him before he was hospitalized.

While officials have repeatedly said the chances of anyone else catching Ebola are extremely low, they upped to 100 the estimated number of people being viewed as Duncan’s potential contacts who should be assessed and possibly monitored for signs of the illness.

Most of those people have been interviewed already, said Thomas Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Depending on the level of contact they had with Duncan, they could be advised to remain confined for three weeks – Ebola’s incubation period – and to take their temperatures twice daily for signs of fever. A fever is one of the early symptoms of Ebola, which is spread only through direct contact with the bodily fluids of an infected person.

“Our approach really is to cast a wide net,” Frieden said. “To reach out to as many people as there are who may have had contact so that we may identify all of those who might well have actually had contact.”

So far, nobody – including the ambulance workers who accompanied Duncan to the hospital and the four relatives under confinement orders – has

symptoms of Ebola. Five children who were taken out of school Wednesday amid concerns they had contact with Duncan also remain symptom-free.

But the state “disease control order” issued overnight underscored the medical community’s concern that complacency could let the virus that has killed more than 3,000 people in West Africa spread in this country.

“They were noncompliant with the request to stay home,” said Dallas County Judge Clay Jenkins, the county’s highest elected official. Jenkins did not provide details, but he said the order was for their own good and that of the rest of the community.

Zachary Thompson, director of Dallas County’s health department, said he and Christopher Perkins, the department’s medical director, had met with the four at the apartment late Wednesday and ensured that they understood the latest order.

“They emphatically said they would comply,” Thompson said.

“It is a delicate balance,” Jenkins said when asked whether placing people on virtual lockdown could discourage others from coming forward about possible contacts with Duncan.

“We’re concerned about people feeling there’s an overreaction and not coming forward with their contacts,” he said.

“But we’re also concerned with the public losing confidence in the response.”

Officials say they still are trying to determine what went wrong the first time Duncan went to the hospital, on his own, suffering from a low fever and abdominal pain.

On Wednesday, they said a nurse at the hospital correctly asked whether he had been in the area of the African Ebola outbreak, and he confirmed he had.

But the diagnostic team that eventually saw Duncan did not get that information. As a result, he was sent home with antibiotics and had two days to possibly spread the virus to others.

In North Carolina, Duncan’s nephew, Joseph Weeks, said he was deeply disturbed when he learned his uncle had been sent home after the first hospital visit.

“I was terrified. Worried. Scared. All of the above,” Weeks, 43, said outside his home in Kannapolis.

Weeks said he suspected his uncle had contracted Ebola virus in Liberia before he flew to Dallas to attend his son’s graduation.

Weeks said he called the CDC in Atlanta to report his concern.Frieden, of the CDC, later said at a news conference that he was not aware of such a call.

Weeks said he speaks with Duncan twice a day and that his uncle’s spirits were lifting. “He’s still suffering. He is still in pain and he’s still hurting,” he said.

Assuming his uncle is treated and recovers, Weeks said, “I’ll be there to shake his hand and give him a hug.”

ic departments also donating decorated umbrellas to be included in the visual display.

The nice weather allowed for a powerful visual display on Thursday, Sept. 25, 2014.

We want to thank all of those who volunteered their time and effort (and creativity) to show their support for RAINN (Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network) and taking a stand against sexual assault and violence.

There are many myths surrounding victimization.

Rape and abuse know no race, gender, or age; anyone can be affected by sexual violence.

It is the goal of the Haven Project to dispel myths and raise awareness

on our campus so that we can create and maintain a campus culture that support survivors and is free of violence of all kinds.

Again, a very special thank you to all of these student organizations and individual volunteers for their support of RAINN Day. We at the Haven Project are so very grateful for those who helped make this event possible!

Polls show that the high cost of public higher education is among the top issues in both statewide and local statelegislative races.

That issue hits IUP students and their families in their pocketbooks, hard.

What’s the cost of not voting?

Consider the NAACP’s Sept. 24 public discussion in the HUB Delaware Room of the continuing violence in Ferguson, Mo., and how it relates to us here in Indiana, Pa. Ferguson serves as a reminder of the consequences of voters staying home on

Election Day. In the most recent municipal election in majority-black Ferguson, only 12 percent of voters showed up at the polls.

Result: a majority-white city council and majority-white police force, wholly unrepresentative of the city’s population.

Registering to vote takes about two minutes.

Penn EDITORIAL

Female disrespect affects everyone in society You’d think with how often women are talked about in today’s media, they’d be getting a little more respect than, well, what’s actually being delivered.

This is not a desperate plea for gender equality as much as it is a call for people to respect each other as human beings, particularly in the ever-increasing network of media outlets. From social sites like Twitter and Instagram to the seemingly harmless songs we pump out of our iPhones, women are oftentimes the subject of the same derogatory sexualization that’s clouded girls’ and boys’ minds alike.

It doesn’t take much effort to find degrading references to women in many of today’s top Billboard songs, but there’s a similar amount of offensive material right at the fingertips of some of the affected women in the form of social media.

Nowadays, it’s uncommon to surf the Web and finish the week without seeing a handful of “Woman Crush Wednesday” posts, most of which glorify a woman’s sexuality and paint that aspect as the chief aspect of judgement for how “good” (or “bad,” as some say) a woman is.

That doesn’t mean all “Woman Crush” posts are derogatory.

In fact, there are probably just as many that are meant to recognize genuine women.

But in a society where it’s generally accepted among teenagers and college-age students to blast rap music that all but shrinks women to objects meant for the sole purpose of pleasuring men, the degrading aspect is certainly in display.

In addition, there are numerous studies that suggest society’s distorted view of women can have a long-term effect on those targeted.

Let alone the men who are raised to treat the opposite sex as little more than toys, women can unfortunately learn to shrug off the issue of their portrayal because of such heavy exposure to the sexualized perspective.

The University of Kent’s Rachel M. Cologero summed the issue up in a study for Psychological Science.

“In short, primarily valuing and investing in appearance domains and viewing oneself in terms of a sexual object is related to women devaluing and investing less in social action,” Cologero wrote. “(This) pattern seems to emerge because the more women self-objectify, the less likely they are to report perceiving anything wrong with the gender status quo, so what is there to change?”

Two one-act plays premiere Friday

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

Two original, entirely student-run one-act plays – one a full production and the other a staged reading – premiere in Waller Hall Friday.

The two plays, the respective works of Brandon Clemens (senior, communications media) and Kurt Stridinger (senior, theater), present an opportunity for students to collaborate, free from direct professional influence.

“The Plain Truth” is, on its face, Clemens’ satirical tale of a disillusioned journalist who seeks some kind of abstract truth in our age of instant information. Clemens’ ultimate mission for this work, however, is to capture a slice of the times with his play.

“I’ve tried to make it as up-to-date as possible,” Clemens said. “I’m trying to take everything I see and feel around me and put it into this.”

Clemens also said that the tone of his play drew inspiration from films like “Putney Swope” and “Network,” both of which are biting, dark satires.

Although Clemens has been working on the script for “The Plain Truth” since late spring, he said the play is not yet ready for a full staging.

Stridinger’s play, a troubled-marriage drama titled “Dark Eyes,” is the fully

staged performance and the less traditional in concept of the two.

“Dark Eyes” revolves around Theodore, a once-successful writer who has fallen on hard times, and Natalia, his unfaithful wife. Their marriage, as may be expected, is nearing disrepair.

While the tale of two people struggling to rebuild a relationship has been interpreted in ways ranging from Lars Von Trier’s morbid and graphic “Antichrist” to lighter fare such as the romcom “Crazy Stupid Love,” Stridinger’s take on this familiar concept offers an intriguing thread that runs through the whole production.

Quotes by philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche are projected through the whole production, each one highlighting a different aspect of each scene.

While an integral part of the play’s visuals, the quotes are far from a gimmick.

“I didn’t originally intend to do the quotes,” Stridinger said. “I started doing some research, and the story wound itself around them.”

Stridinger mentioned a specific quote from Nietzsche and how it winds its way into a scene between the two distant lovers.

“And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh” will accompany a scene in which the couple sits facing the audi-

ence, alternately telling lies and truths and adding an accompanying laugh or beat of silence.

Stridinger said that he took inspiration from the early 20th century, when new technologies were utilized by innovative directors in an attempt to break new theatrical ground.

While both productions are sponsored by Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s theater department, the entire creative process has occurred without the aid of IUP faculty.

Working with professors can lend an experienced eye to watch over the process, but Stridinger explained that working without a professor can sometimes be liberating.

“It’s been a really great experience,” he said. “Some of my favorite projects at IUP have been working with students.

“The barriers break down, and you are able to collaborate as artists.”

While the plots and settings of “The Plain Truth” and “Dark Eyes” couldn’t be more different, their themes of seeking some absolute truth and intense personal communication pair well when shown together, according to Clemens.

The two shows will be performed Friday, Saturday and Sunday in Waller Hall’s studio theater, beginning at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m.

Sunday.

Penn Pals Everybody has a story...

By JESSIE LIST | Staff writer | J.L.List@iup.edu

How would you change the world?

“I would make it so that everyone could be happy because I find myself struggling to be happy a lot, and I feel like no one should feel that way.

I would love to make everyone’s problems go away. No one should worry about things that won’t matter the next day.”

- Sean O’Donnell (freshman, College of Humanities and Social Sciences)

“We would make sure that people all over the world have access to education, health care and literacy.

More women’s empowerment is very important as well.”

- Kathleen Dimattia (left) and Nabva Kamath (right) (graduates)

“I would start by using some money to rework all of the abandoned buildings across the world. I would start helping out the homeless and end poverty.”

- Channing Trick (freshman, communications media)

Vegetarian dining opportunities for students

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

Although Indiana University of Pennsylvania was established almost 140 years ago, that doesn’t mean it’s not modern in its ways, especially when it comes to dining options.

It’s no secret that vegetarian diets are becoming more than just a passing fad. In fact, according to VegetarianTimes.com, nearly 7.3 million adult Americans follow a vegetarian diet. With these numbers in mind, IUP strives to provide on-campus selections to students who stray from consuming animal products. In fact, many vegetarian dining options can be found right on campus.

“I go to Einstein’s in the Hadley Union Building a lot,” vegetarian Shane Malachow (freshman, computer science and technical theater) said. “I love their egg sandwiches and pizza bagels.”

Rebecca Lewis (freshman, nutrition and dietetics), another vegetarian, recommends the salads at Sprout in the HUB, as well as the vegetarian sandwiches at Einstein’s.

But for students who would rather not dine on campus day after day, there are many off-campus eateries that are vegetarian-friendly.

“I have been to China King on Philadelphia Street and the Thai restaurant

in town,” Lewis said.

“Both have good vegetarian options.”

“Café Amadeus has great smoothies,” Malachow said. “And I will go to Domino’s for pizza occasionally.”

But for those who want to skip dinner and go straight to dessert, Yummy for Every Tummy, a bakery located at 734 Philadelphia St., offers an animalfriendly way to satisfy a sweet tooth.

“Everything in the store is vegan,” said Jim Bartek, co-owner of Yummy for Every Tummy. “We have vegan cupcakes, pies, cakes, scones and biscotti.

We opened it to cater to everybody’s diets and provide really great treats.”

As if another reason was needed to stop in, Bartek said, “We always offer free samples.”

Many vegetarian and vegan students enjoy treating themselves at Yummy for Every Tummy, their favorite goods being lemon cranberry cookies, mini pumpkin pies and, of course, cupcakes.

But the best way to tell if IUP is successfully catering to vegetarians is to go straight to the source. According to Lewis, variety seems to be lacking.

“It seems like the only healthy options are salads,” she said.

“I think the options are good,” Malachow said. “Burger Studio in the Crimson Cafe and Grille Works in the HUB both have great veggie burgers, and the veggie bar in Fosters is surprisingly pretty nice.”

Weezer released new album Tuesday

By URSUS FEDIN

Staff Writer U.W.Fedin@iup.edu

On Tuesday, popular alt-rock band Weezer took a chance after some recent musical failures and released its ninth studio album, “Everything Will Be Alright In The End.” The band had remained stagnant for four years after its eighth album, “Hurley,” flopped. It was thought that their most recent concert series would be their last, but fans showed their loyalty.

And after listening to the new album, it seems they had good reason to be faithful.

The band’s debut album – the selftitled “Blue” album – and the followup “Pinkerton” both told stories about frontman and primary songwriter Rivers Cuomo’s teenage years through intense instrumental layering and powerful lyrics.

This style was abandoned after “Pinkerton” was declared a failure, and simplified, pop-style music became the substitute.

It went over worse in every subsequent album, but in “EWBAITE,” the method of complex instrumentalism and meaningful lyrics was resurrected.

Screeching guitars that match the fervor in earlier albums resonate while Cuomo belts out songs elaborating past

loves and his frustration with fame.

They became a garage band – their stage persona since their first album in 1994.

Die-hard fans will likely not need to be convinced of the album’s quality after the first track, but for many who are just now joining the Weezer bandwagon, it might take a little longer, until, say, track six of 13.

“The British Are Coming” starts out slow, with almost an Indie tone, but soon evolves into something better.

It turns into a party song with a symbolic message in the lyrics against the “haters” of older Weezer albums.

And there were many haters out there.

Without getting into the dirty details of Weezer’s undeserved complacency and blatant laziness, the opening line from the CD’s first single “Back to the Shack” gives an outright apology: “Sorry guys – I didn’t realize I needed you so much.”

Coupled with the brilliant music, this gesture alone proves that Weezer is back to trying hard to revert to their original sound and make “EWBAITE” the canon.

The album is something of a concept, much like their second album “Pinkerton,” in that it tells something of a story as it revolves around three primary themes: Cuomo’s

relationships with women, his father and his music.

Women play a pretty heavy role in all of Weezer’s music, though, so many who are familiar with Weezer’s work might be dubious to believe that this is somehow different.

Until track number eight, “Go away.”

Bethany Cosentino of Best Coast features in this single and sings a strategically discordant harmony against Cuomo’s whining tenor vocals.

Together, they sing a pop-like tune that reflects the original angst Weezer featured in their ironic singles of the early ’90s.

The album’s penultimate track, “Foolish Father,” references Cuomo’s estrangement with his father – up to the point when it makes another meta reference and closes the song with a children’s chorus singing that “Everything will be all right in the end,” which is perhaps the band’s new motto, considering the anticipated success of “EWBAITE” after past errors.

The music mixes modern influence with “original Weezer,” and both seasoned and budding fans can enjoy each track on “EWBAITE.” “Everything Will Be Alright In The End” is currently available for streaming and will be available on iTunes and Spotify Tuesday.

Women’s volleyball stays positive despite three-game slide

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

The Crimson Hawks have experienced a rollercoaster ride in recent games, facing both highs and lows on the volleyball court as they attempt to overcome a three-game slide.

Friday night, Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s women played California University of Pennsylvania on their home court. The Crimson Hawks lost the first set with the score at 25-21.

They came back to win the second set 25-23 but fell to the Vulcans in the third set 25-13. Scoring 10 of the last 14 points, IUP fought hard to win the fourth set 28-26. Unfortunately, IUP couldn’t keep up to win the match in the final set 15-9.

With the 3-2 loss, Lauren Hester (redshirt junior, speech-language pathology and audiology) had 15 kills, two aces and two blocks. Elizabeth Sova (senior, hospitality management) had 10 kills and eight blocks. Lily McWilliams (sophomore, nutrition and dietetics) also contributed with six kills, four aces and one block. Lindsay Moeller (sophomore, early childhood-special education) had 26 assists, and defensively, Joie Hrapla (junior, marketing and fashion merchandising) had 30 digs.

IUP played their game Saturday at the Memorial Field House against Seton Hill University, falling to Seton Hill in the first set 25-12 but coming back to win the next two sets 25-19 and 2520, respectively. By the fifth set, IUP couldn’t pull through to win the match.

“The fifth set was full of hesitation,” Katie Miller (freshman, anthropology) said. “I believe we started to let one or two mistakes determine our mindset of the game. Seton Hill came out swinging, and I think that we just could not find our rhythm again.”

Three players – Lisa Kissell (junior, nutrition and chemistry), Sova and Hester – had 13 kills each to contribute to Saturday’s play. Hrapla had 20 digs, and Miller had 35 assists.

“We did not receive the outcome we had hoped for this weekend,” Miller said, “but there is no question that every member of the team left the gym exhausted because they gave their all for the team.”

The Crimson Hawks played 10 sets over the weekend and came out with a record of 7-6 overall.

“I was definitely exhausted physically and mentally after playing 10 sets in two days,” Miller said, “but in situations like that, I am reminded why I love volleyball.”

The Crimson Hawks host seven consecutive games after losing three in a row.

On Tuesday, IUP traveled to take on Clarion University. The Crimson Hawks fell 3-0, the scores of the sets at 25-18, 25-21 and 25-15. Sova and Hester had nine kills each, Miller contributed with 26 assists. Hrapla had 15 digs,

(Cory Kozesky/ The Penn)

and Hester had 12 digs.

“We talk a lot in practice about finishing all the way through a game,” Miller said, “and that is something that we will continue to work on so that the next time we see Seton Hill and other

teams, we will have a better outcome.”

IUP will host seven straight games, starting with a showdown with Mercyhurst University on Friday at 7 p.m. and a 2 p.m. Saturday matchup against Gannon University.

formance but voiced confidence for the team’s next tournament.

“Personally, it was a very disappointing week,” Owen said. “Not really what I was looking for coming off the back of two wins. But I’m sure we will improve in two weeks’ time at Gannon [University]’s tournament.”

The next Crimson Hawk down the scoreboard was Brett Geiser (junior, management), who tied for 45th with an 11-over 224. Following Geiser was Max Kirsch (sophomore, business), who scored a 14-over 227. Finally, Brady Moran (sophomore, safety science) finished tied for 85th with a 21-over 234.

As a whole, IUP moved up one spot after the first day, finishing with a mark of 35-over 887 at the Division

I tournament. They beat teams such as Villanova, LaSalle and George Mason universities. The University of Missouri took home the team title with threeunder 851.

Overall, the team seemed generally satisfied with its performance.

“It was great to play a Division I tournament to test our skills out,” Geiser said.

“It was a fantastic course to play, and, all in all, it was a solid week. We didn’t play our best, but we all had our share of solid rounds.”

The team’s next competition will be the Howard “Bud” Elwell Fall Classic, hosted by Gannon. The competition will take place Oct. 12-13 in Findley Lake, N.Y.

IUP finishes in middle of the pack at George Mason’s Patriot Intercollegiate

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

Behind Kenneth Sames’ (junior, business) tie for fifth place, the Indiana University of Pennsylvania men’s golf team finished 10th among 17 teams at George Mason University’s Patriot Intercollegiate in Lorton, Va. Only a few weeks removed from a shoulder injury, Sames, of Moscow, Pa., had a rough start to the tournaGOLF ment, as he shot a six-over 77.

He rebounded, though, shooting three-under 68 in consecu-

12

tive rounds to finish below par for the tournament, one of just eight golfers to do so.

His second and third round total of six-under 136 was the lowest two-round total of any golfer at the tournament.

“It felt good to play well coming off a strained muscle injury in my shoulder,” Sames said. “At the end of the week, my team always builds my confidence, and it felt good to play well and help my school.”

Sames earned the distinction of being the PSAC Men’s Golfer of the Week for his performance, making it the third time that an IUP golfer has earned the award this season. Jack Owen (senior, sports administration) received the honor earlier this season.

Owen was the second finisher for the Crimson Hawks, as he shot a 10-over 223 which tied him for 40th overall.

Sports

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

Any given Sunday is a common cliché in the NFL, and the Steelers found themselves on the wrong side of it last weekend.

They followed up an impressive performance against Carolina with a dud at home against a Tampa Bay team coming off a 56-14 loss 10 days prior. With Pittsburgh sitting at 2-2 through four weeks, it’s time for another look at the Steelers’ stock: Ben Roethlisberger had himself quite the day on Sunday. He completed over 70 percent of his passes and threw for three touchdowns. On the season, he is completing close to 70 percent of his passes and has a 99.4 quarterback rating. He’s going to have to carry this team while the defense continues to grow, and so far, he has shown that he is more than capable.

What a find Antonio Brown has been for the Pittsburgh Steelers. A sixth-round draft pick in 2010, Brown just broke the record for consecutive games with at least five receptions and 50 yards. In the game against Tampa, he had seven receptions for 131 yards and two touchdowns. Brown did have a crucial drop that dampened the Steelers’ chances against the Buccaneers – but nonetheless, he still played well. For the first quarter of the season, Brown is tied for most receiving touchdowns and fourth most yards in the NFL. Coming into the season, Brown was already regarded by most as an elite receiver. Anyone who didn’t see him being one then certainly does now.

Mike Tomlin is on the other end of my list, and no, I don’t think he is on the hot seat, nor do I think he should be. The reason is because of the team’s penalties. Pittsburgh is the second-most penalized team in the NFL, and some of

that falls on the head coach.

Ultimately, the players are the ones on the field, and they are the ones that are committing the fouls; but the coach has to be held accountable for his team’s lack of discipline. Tomlin has said that he will work diligently to emphasize discipline to his team, and he started that this week with bringing officials to practice.

Brad Wing didn’t help his team when he punted the ball a mere 29 yards with just under 50 seconds left in the game, as he gave Tampa great field position that helped them register their gamewinning drive. I know what you may be thinking: Really, a punter? But punters – as well as the entire special teams unit – are a big part of the game. The Steelers just terminated the contract of Adam Podlesh, so it is up to Wing to rebound and show the team that he deserves to be the full-time punter not just for this season but for the near future.
