IUP ROTC travels to Camp Dawson for field training exercise

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

In a picturesque West Virginia valley, members of the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Army ROTC were hardly on a weekend getaway in the heart of Appalachia.

Instead, the group of more than 150 cadets and officers were navigating through a myriad of obstacle courses, land navigation and team-building exercises as part of the field training exercise (FTX) held at Camp Dawson, a National Guard base in Preston County.

Three members of IUP’s journalism department also traveled with the ROTC, acting as embedded journalists.

The cadets, who through the ROTC program will become Second Lieutenants in the United States Army, departed Pierce Hall early in the morning Oct. 17 and returned midday Sunday.

A small group of cadets in the Advanced Echelon left a few hours earlier than the rest of the company to set up IUP’s tactical operations center (TOC).

The TOC is the ultimate command post and was manned at all hours during the weekend by cadets and cadre.

Just after noon, when the rest of the cadets arrived after the more than a 100mile journey to Camp Dawson, which is located in northern West Virginia – about 25 miles east of Morgantown – the freshmen and sophomores broke into their respective squads to begin field leadership reaction courses.

Junior and senior ROTC members spent the weekend mentoring and lead-

ing the younger cadets in their first FTX. “For ROTC,” Caroline Herndon (junior, nursing) said, “this weekend is important to develop the freshmen and sophomores with their leadership skills, as well as improve the leadership skills of the MS3s, who are the juniors. “[The freshmen and sophomores’] leadership is tested all weekend: how well they can lead people, how well they can get along with others in stressful, difficult situations.”

Some of the obstacles cadets had to complete included figuring out a way to lay planks of wood on stationary supports so the squad members could walk a barrel across.

This exercise incorporated team building and quick thinking by cadets so they could walk across the “bridge” to safety at the other side, all without falling into the “radioactive” water below.

After about three hours of the problem-solving obstacle course, cadets ate at the dining hall before returning to the TOC for first aid training.

Here, cadets learned the proper ways to apply field bandages, execute the fireman’s carry and many other vital, lifesaving tactics.

The second day of training started off bright and early for cadets, with a 2:30 a.m. wake-up call for a surprise 3 a.m. physical training test. The test came just hours after cadets went to bed, as lights out was set for 10 p.m. Friday.

The test consisted of two minutes of push-ups, two minutes of sit-ups and a two-mile run, and it was predictably

News

met with much criticism from some cadets.

“IUP hasn’t even gone to bed yet, and we’re out here,” one cadet said from his line, referring to students back in Indiana who were still out drinking and partying from the night before.

Under cloudy skies and brisk temperatures, Saturday morning started out with breakfast at 6 a.m., followed by a march to another obstacle course.

This “confidence training” was more individual-based and required cadets to do such activities like climb the Jacob’s ladder, a tall, wooden ladder-structure, turn around at the top and climb back down the other side.

Other required parts of the course included rope climbing, jumping and walking across wooden beams high above the ground, although with a safety net below.

With the wind picking up and the temperature the same it was at 3 a.m., the entire company and cadre began loading into 15-person vans. The vans then shuttled the cadets about 15 minutes away high into the mountains to the Pringle Tract Land Navigation Course.

There, cadets used compasses and maps to navigate the land as a light rain persisted. At lunchtime, cadets took a break to eat their Meal, Ready-To-Eat before the final outdoor exercise of the weekend started.

In the lane training exercises, squads are essentially put in situations with certain parameters. The squads then must use fast thinking to survive the mission, like defusing fake improvised explosive devices or dealing with surprise informants who make the cadets adept quickly.

After shuttling back to the base and eating once again, practice clearing rooms was the last exercise of the weekend. In this, groups of four cadets systematically checked doors and secured the perimeter of a room before charging in.

Sunday was tear-down day, as supplies were packed back into IUP’s truck and trailer, and linens were collected from the barracks and returned for cleaning.

By around 1 p.m. Sunday, the entire ROTC group was back at Pierce Hall, as the cadets transitioned from future military members back to normal, everyday IUP students.

Enterprise Rent-A-Car is partnering with Indiana University of Pennsylvania to create Enterprise CarShare for students, faculty and staff to help cover transportation needs.

Essentially, students will pay to use a shared car as needed by making online reservations to take the vehicle as they please.

To reap the benefits of Enterprise CarShare, students who are 18 and older must purchase a membership for the program. The standard membership covers fuel, any basic physical damage to the vehicle and state-required liability protection.

An annual membership is $35. With the standard plan, members can choose

to pay $8.50 per hour, $55 per day or $35 for overnight, which is 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. The first 200 miles per rental are free, but any additional miles are $0.45 per mile.

While damage is included in the membership, members are required to pay the first $250.

If any of the membership agreements are violated, other fees can include a smoking fee, pet hair removal fee, late return fee, failure to refuel, or other fees.

Members on IUP’s main campus will have access to a Toyota Corolla and Volkswagen Jetta in the S.W. Jack CoGeneration parking lot at Pratt Drive and Grant Street.

IUP’s Punxsutawney campus will have access to a Toyota Corolla and Nissan Sentra.

Distinguished alum gives talk about Ebola, vaccines

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

LSAC holds first meeting of semester

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

In these cases, the process of approval is much faster.

Next, Gilly discussed the origins of the 2014 Ebola outbreak.

The Ebola outbreak of 2014 is the largest in history.

The outbreak did not come directly from the fruit bat; it stems from an outbreak that occurred in 2004.

The disease has been spread with seemingly no effects for 10 years, and now it has become an epidemic.

The Ebola epidemic has been mostly located in the African countries of Guinea, Liberia and Sierra Leone, but there have been cases in Nigeria as well.

Last, Gilly talked about the vaccine, which was developed by Gilly and his group.

They created a virus similar to the Ebola affecting humans that instead affected rats and used that to find a vaccine which prevented the disease.

Before creating this and the vaccine to go along with it, they needed approval to work with Ebola in the lab.

After obtaining approval and finding the right vaccine, they also had to find a way to prolong the effects of the vaccine through the use of another drug.

All this was then tested on chimpanzees, and the vaccine is now in use.

Though crucial steps have been taken in improving this situation, the Ebola virus is still spreading and killing people.

The Library Student Advisory Council met for the first time this semester from noon to 1 p.m. in the Hadley Union Building.

Library faculty member Dr. Theresa McDevitt started LSAC about four years ago.

LSAC is a way to solicit IUP student’s feedback, ideas and advice concerning library resources, services and policies.

It’s meant to ensure that undergraduate and graduate student input is integrated into actionable goals during the formation of the University Libraries Strategic Plan.

The role of LSAC is one of advice and advocacy.

Some areas of discussion may include: suggesting ways to raise the libraries’ profile among the university’s constituencies; making recommendations on new services, research resources and programs, etc.; providing feedback on current library services, programs, policies, resources, collections and facilities and soliciting advice from other students in order to enhance library resources and services.

This semester, the original idea for LSAC has changed slightly.

The IUP library hopes that by moving the event to the HUB and making the event in the afternoon, there will be more student participation than in the past.

Also different than before, LSAC

hopes to hold the event twice a semester instead of once.

This is in order to get the most accurate feedback from the students.

By seeing what students think both earlier in the semester as well as later, the library will be able to see how students feel when they are just starting to use the library as well as when they have done more course work and have a better sense of all the library has to offer.

LSAC hopes to meet twice each semester, or as needed, for lunch or dinner at either the Stapleton Library or the HUB. Participants should represent diverse campus perspectives, with representation from the Student Government Association, different colleges, undergraduate and graduate programs, and other student groups.

Students involved with LSAC will collaborate with IUP Libraries on marketing programs to promote the value of the library and communicate information about library services and programs to the student community.

Participation in LSAC can also enhance students’ resumes, provide connections for future references, provide the chance to meet new friends and, of course, provide a free meal.

The main goal of LSAC is ultimately to make the library the most useful for students.

Luis Gonzalez, dean of IUP Libraries, summarized LSAC’s goal.

“Our mission is to support your academic endeavors,” he said. “So, we need to know what it is you need.”

Dr. John A. Gilly, senior vice president of Leidos Biomedical Research, Inc., gave a presentation on Ebola at Indiana University of Pennsylvania Wednesday.

The 1979 IUP graduate talked in great lengths about what the Ebola virus is, the 2014 outbreak, the process he and his group went through to develop a vaccine and about the vaccine itself.

At the start of the presentation, Gilly told the students about what the Ebola virus is.

The Ebola virus is an illness found in wild animals that can be transferred to humans and is usually fatal when untreated. The fruit bat residing in western and central Africa is the virus’ regular host, but the virus can be transmitted to humans through blood.

When the virus reaches certain blood cell types, the virus can move rapidly through the body.

The inflammatory response associated with the disease effects the immune system while the disease progresses. The Ebola virus genome codes for seven structural proteins, allowing for replication of the viral genomes.

Gilly then went on to talk about developing the vaccine for the Ebola virus.

He explained the different phases of

creating a vaccine along with the Food and Drug Administration, the first step being the pre-Investigational New Drug (IND) stage.

In the pre-IND stage, the questions of what vaccine is being created, how it is being created and for whom all must be answered.

The next step is IND. This means that all drugs must reach a certain standard of safety before being put on the market. During this stage, discussions with the FDA must occur, as well as request and approval to begin testing and clinical trials, which have three phases.

There is also continued research in the laboratory to figure out how to make the vaccine and make sure there are no inconsistencies.

The next stage is the approval stage.

In the approval stage, everything has been tested, and all the scientific data is given to an FDA panel, which is not composed of industry people.

This panel must review the data for approval or rejection.

The vaccine must then be labeled, and these labels must be supported by clinical evidence.

This is the typical process of developing vaccinations, but it is not the case when is comes to cancer treatments, HIV/AIDs, potential life threatening diseases with no existing standard treatment (Ebola) and biodefense therapies and vaccines (Ebola).

International Student

SPOTLIGHT

By YIWEI XU

Contributing Writer Y.Xu7@iup.edu

(Photos by Kristina Kurelja/ The Penn) Gina Corey (sophomore, pre physical therapy) and Melanie Hottel (sophomore, nursing) picked a location in the Healing Garden to plant bulbs honoring the memory of a lost loved one on Wednesday afternoon.

“Oh, people carry guns and may shoot others!”

“They are really crazy and not friendly at all.”

“Who can bear those guys that drink heavily every day?!”

Do you believe that all the descriptions above are used to describe American people?

I am an international exchange student from Shanghai, China, which is located on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and is about 15 hours’ flight time from here.

So far, I have really enjoyed my life at Indiana University of Pennsylvania, and I want to share some interesting things with all of you.

I am an advertising major at home, and here my major is communications media.

As a foreign student who has come to the United States for the first time, I, like many other international students, had held some misconceptions about American society before coming here.

Here are some of the main misconceptions other international students and I held: •Guns One of the common misconceptions many international students and I had was that we didn’t think it was very safe to stay in the U.S. because everyone has the right to bear arms, and there were shooting incidents everywhere.

When I first arrived at Indiana, how-

ever, I was really impressed by this safe, beautiful and harmonious community – well-decorated houses, verdurous lawns, fresh air and twittering of birds.

Everyone will give you a warm smile when you meet on the road, even if he or she doesn’t know you.

•Mean Persons One of my Indian friends says that a lot of people in his home country think that American people are very crazy and not friendly – they may just be influenced by American movies and television.

However, just like I’ve mentioned before, everyone is so nice here.

•Drunk People Another interesting misconception that one of my Saudi Arabian friends supposed was that American people drink a lot every day.

He thinks that is too crazy, because he is a Muslim, who is never allowed to drink.

However, he found that it is not true in the U.S., and as for drinking, people are even strictly regulated by law.

These interesting misconceptions do exist, and it comes from our cultural differences, as well as people’s unfamiliarity with another society.

That’s not something ridiculous or something that should be laughed at – we just need more communication and mutual understanding.

The diversity of culture is really a great value to us as human beings; we are supposed to understand it, explore it and appreciate it.

Health AWAREness holds Love Your Body poster contest

By SAMANTHA FRENCH Staff Writer S.M.French@iup.edu

Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s Health AWAREness committee is having a contest to prove that all students should love their bodies no matter what.

This is the second year that IUP has participated in the 14th annual national campaign held by the National Organization for Women.

The members of Health AWAREness shared that the purpose of this poster contest is to help all men and women who might be having body image challenges.

“There is a lot of pressure in our society to fit in, and we are trying to take the pressure off students by showing them other people are having the same feelings,” Hannah Matthews (senior, English and women’s studies) said.

Matthews also spoke of what people can do to help one another and ourselves.

“Everyone is impacted – meaning men and women,” she said. “The best thing to do is to have a healthy lifestyle and embrace yourself, and do what is best for your individuality.”

Alisa Drew, the assistant director of Health AWAREness and women’s program, said the posters will be a helping aide to students not just on campus.

“The posters may be turned in to the

NOW network to showcase what they do,” Drew said, “as well as what students are doing here on campus.

The posters will also be used as a marketing tool for use on shirts, buttons, flyers and our website.”

The posters have certain guidelines in order to be submitted to the contest.

They can be no larger than 9 inches by 12 inches and must include on the poster, “2014 Love Your Body Campaign,” “IUP Health AWAREness and “www.iup.edu/healthawareness.”

Submissions can be emailed in PDF or JPEG format to health-awareness@ iup.edu or dropped off directly to Suites on Maple East G-59.

The submissions are due by Nov. 5 at 4 p.m., and special prizes will be announced.

The posters will be displayed in the Health and Wellness Center in a certain area, according to Meghan Olbrys (graduate, student affairs for higher education).

“The posters will be added to last year’s entered posters onto the wall outside our Health AWAREness office, where students can see them as they walk past,” she said.

The Health AWAREness committee encourages students to enter the contest and attend the Love Your Body Campaign week held Nov. 10 to learn more about the campaign mission.

The following editorial appeared in the Charlotte Observer on Monday, Oct. 20: If you’ve ever grumbled about paying for all those cable or satellite channels when you only watch a handful, last week brought good and potentially big news.

Television networks HBO and CBS separately announced that they plan to offer an online version of their products that would be available to consumers even if they didn’t subscribe to cable or satellite.

CBS and other major networks already offer such a product, of course.

It’s the over-the-air signal that’s free to anyone who can capture it with a TV antenna.

But for those consumers who want more than the Big 4 networks, the announcements signal a potential seis-

mic shift in how we watch and pay for our TV. Until now, if you wanted to watch non-OTA networks, you had to purchase them along with dozens to hundreds of other channels as part of that cable or satellite subscription.

If you only wanted HBO, ESPN and a few others, too bad.

It was all or nothing.

TV providers and networks liked it this way because the subscription bundle approach made them gobs of money.

They didn’t want to cannibalize their sales by offering a new product that would cause consumers to cancel the cable subscriptions that produced all that revenue.

So why are at least two networks changing their mind?

It’s not an act of Congress – although lawmakers did occasionally grumble (perhaps after opening their own bills) about the cable/satellite subscription model.What happened was

Throw it away or fix it?

In every relationship, there are highs and lows.

That’s a given.

What’s not as clearly drawn out, however, is when to decide whether or not a relationship is worth maintaining when those inevitable lows come around.

While “love at first sight” is not something that everyone experiences, you should at least go into a relationship feeling confident and/or hopeful, rather than hesitant. Having blatant doubts even before a relationship begins is a recipe for trouble.

On the other side of the romantic spectrum, once you and your partner have gotten to know each other on a deeper level and have mutually expressed commitment to each other, it’s vital to consider fixing problems rather than running away from them.

It’s easier to try to escape issues than face them, and even in more serious relationships – marriage included – we often tend to include a “side-door exit” to the commitment.

Although American divorce rates have slightly declined since the 1980s, according to The State Of Our Unions 2011 via ForYourMarriage.org, they are still nearly twice what they were in 1960.

Granted, it can be a case-by-case basis when discussing relationships.

Relationships can often be measured on a 50-50 scale, as in both sides of the relationship must usually invest as much as the other for there to be true satisfaction. Of course, that’s not always the case, and it’s virtually impossible to maintain, but if one person is clearly showing more concern for the relationship than the other, there are bound to be some types of issues.

However, if the relationship is not only deemed serious but also treated as such, there has to be some kind of understanding as far as when it is and is not OK to “give up.” Without that understanding, either one partner is inevitably and eventually going to leave the relationship, or problems will go unaddressed.

Commitment is not a term that should be used lightly in relationships. It’s hard to commit to sticking together through the highs and lows if you’re only just getting started with a relationship.

But then again, if you reach a point that you know your partner is worth fighting for, the best thing you can do for yourself and your relationship is strive for working through problems rather than discarding the relationship altogether.

technology and the free market.

Specifically, Netflix.

The video rental company capitalized on the availability of faster Internet download speeds to sell access to thousands of movies and television shows shortly after they appeared in theaters and on networks.

Netflix offered some successful original programming, too.

Most importantly, Netflix also made gobs of money doing it.

That’s apparently either given networks the courage to dabble in the online model, or fear that they might be left behind as TV viewing habits continue to change.

HBO has yet to offer a subscription price for its network, and there’s no word yet if other networks will follow.

(Hello, ESPN?) But choice seems to be on the way for consumers, who’ve convinced at least a couple networks to try giving them what they want, without a lot of what they don’t.

‘Moon Over Buffalo’ premieres Saturday in Waller Hall

BOO

Lead Wet Ink Writer A.P.Milliken@iup.edu

Slapstick comedy and Murphy’s Law will reign supreme in the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Acorn Project’s production of “Moon Over Buffalo,” premiering Saturday in Waller Hall.

Written by Ken Ludwig – “the purveyor of light comedy to Middle America,” according to the London Times – this zany farce centers on George and Charlotte Hay, married actors in a traveling theater company who receive an exciting phone call from reallife director Frank Capra.

Capra, the director of “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” offers to consider George and Charlotte for roles in his upcoming Hollywood blockbuster after seeing one of their plays, and the two stage actors couldn’t be more excited.

The only problems? Both George and Charlotte are past their primes, their theater company is failing, George has recently had an affair, and the various criss-crossing love webs threaten to ensnare the rest of the characters.

Needless to say, high jinks ensue.

Director and producer Matt Spencer (senior, musical theater), who helmed past Acorn Project productions of “Greater Tuna” and “The Wizard of Oz,” was enthusiastic about working with the all-student cast.

“Getting to work with my peers is something that I’m passionate about,” Spencer said. “It’s very exciting.”

“Moon Over Buffalo” will be his last

production at IUP, as Spencer plans to graduate at the end of the fall semester.

This play also marks the last collaboration at IUP between Spencer and Amos Glass (junior, theater), who is the scenic artisan, co-producer, props coordinator and player of the show’s lead, George Hay. Spencer and Glass are familiar collaborators, having worked on Spencer’s previous directorial efforts and acting together for several semesters.

“Amos has worked on every show I’ve produced or directed at IUP,” Spencer said. “It’s a very nice moment for us.”

Glass expressed similar respect for his colleague: “The working relationship between me and Matt is super good,” Glass said.

“We really bounce off of each other for ideas.”

Glass also explained that the process for a show done through the Acorn Project is similar to the process in the professional world.

“Short processes are really hard to fit everything into – to start and finish a fully designed show in four weeks,” he said.

Despite the challenges of fulfilling so many roles within the production, Glass said that the show is what gets him through his busy days.

“I know I get to come here, have fun and learn something about the career I want to go into,” he said.

While the show was approved through the IUP theater faculty, the show’s creative process is free from other non-student influences.

Running on a tight budget, the show includes props borrowed from the Bedford County Players and costumes from Altoona community theater.

Ensuring a night of screwball comedy, “Moon Over Buffalo” will be performed Saturday at 2 p.m. and 8 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m. Tickets are $3 with an I-Card and $5 without and may be purchased at the door.

The Paranormal Society of Indiana University of Pennsylvania is hosting a two-night ghost investigation of Keith and Leonard Hall Saturday and Sunday.

Proceeds from the event will be donated to the M. Dorcas Clark, MD, Women’s Imaging Center at Indiana Regional Medical Center.

Keith and Leonard Halls are thought to be the most haunted buildings on campus.

The vice president, Tim Sweriduk (junior, biology), explained the history of Leonard Hall and the ghosts that inhabit it.

“The first Leonard Hall had burnt down,” Sweriduk said, “and the reported ghosts are that of a cat, a professor and college students.”

The halls of Keith are not only passed through by current students during the weeks; many others inhabit the space.

The society’s president, Sam Cooper (junior, geology) described the history of Keith Hall.

“Keith Hall used to be an elementary school before IUP bought it,” Cooper said. “It is haunted by kids, two professors and a scary entity that was reported to never have been human form.”

Cooper explained how the investigations are run and what equipment is used during these events.

“The investigation is hosted by the Paranormal Society students, as well as student psychics,” he said. “The equipment used is the standard investigation items, such as the K2 electrical reader, a recorder, a Guass meter, which is same as the K2 reader except more sensitive, a temperature gun and an infrared ultra-

violet camera.”

Students can register by going to the first floor of Leonard or the steps outside the hall from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., which is when time slots can be picked and shirts can be purchased.

Students who are interested can receive more information during this time as well.

The time slots indicate when students will go on the investigation.

One time slot is $10, and all three time slots can be purchased for $25.

However, it is not required that students go on all three tours.

Time slots are from 6-10 p.m., 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. and 2-6 a.m.

It is encouraged that students show up 15 minutes before the chosen time slot.

Sweriduk said it will be a great night for college students to get out and do something fun.

“Even if people don’t believe in it,” he said, “the money goes to a cause, and it is a safer alternative for students to have fun.”

Cooper said the students that go will have a memorable event and a guaranteed spook for the night.

“It is a good and worth-it time,” he said, “and we usually catch paranormal activity, such as physical experiences or sounds. These reported finds will be sent by us to the people that went on the tour.”

The Paranormal Society holds ghost events all year, such as April Ghoul’s Day or psychic readings, but the Boo for Boobies tour is the most popular among the students.

Last year, the times were almost all sold out.

Interested students are encouraged to register as soon as possible.

Sports Crimson Hawks ready for ‘The Rock’

IUP football looks to rebound in second consecutive rivalry game

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

The Indiana University of Pennsylvania Crimson Hawks (5-2) return home to Miller Stadium to battle Slippery Rock University (5-2) at 1 p.m. Saturday.

They’re coming off a Coal Bowl loss to one of their historic rivals, but the Crimson Hawks have a chance to rebound on the football field against this forFOOTBALL midable foe.

Both teams are coming into the game, which has been dubbed the “Crimson Game” for fans by the IUP athletic department, following a loss.

IUP’s last-ditch effort fell short in the sixth annual Coal Bowl against the University California of Pennsylvania Vulcans by a score of 21-13.

Similarly, Slippery Rock was defeated by Mercyhurst University 45-23 in the Big House Battle played at Michigan Stadium.

This is the 83rd installment of this classic Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference West rivalry, with IUP holding a 45-35-2 edge in the series.

Despite the edge for IUP, the series has been mostly even in recent years, with the two teams splitting the last

12

eight meetings.

Slippery Rock head coach George Mihalik thinks that this rivalry is one of the best in all of college football at any level.

“It’s always going to be a physical game, a hard-hitting game,” he said. “It’s two schools, universities, programs with a lot of pride and tradition and success.”

For IUP, head coach Curt Cignetti knows that his team is in a hole, but he is still trying to keep everyone focused on the task at hand.

“The focus is on the opponent,” he said, “but sometimes, you have to put the big picture in perspective.”

The big picture is a bit murky for the Crimson Hawks, as they no longer control their own destiny for the conference or the playoffs.

Slippery Rock is a team that relies on their rushing attack, which is ranked first in the PSAC. Running backs Shamar Green and IUP transfer Teddy Blakeman shoulder the load for the Slippery Rock offense.

Jared Buck, who is also a transfer from IUP, is now the team’s starting quarterback and looks to get the ball to weapons like Drew Scales and Florida Atlantic University transfer Melvin German.

Defensively, Slippery Rock has struggled this season.

Standouts Admire Carter, Marcus Martin and Austin Miele have headlined The Rock’s performance.

But the team’s defense as a whole has given up the most passing touchdowns

Ackeno Robertson (23), Steve Franco (12) and the Crimson Hawks will take on SRU Saturday.

in the conference.

In the Coal Bowl, five turnovers hampered what was an otherwise good day for the Crimson Hawks on offense, who dominated California in nearly every statistical category.

On the bright side, quarterback Chase Haslett (graduate, sports management) tied an IUP record for completions in a game with 34, and Drew Carswell (senior, criminology) tied a single game record for receptions with 15.

October 24, 2014

Carswell has been, at least statistically, Haslett’s favorite receiver all year long.

The potential NFL draft pick has 615 yards and 6 touchdowns this year, his second with the team after transferring from the University of Pittsburgh.

Big-bodied tight end Brock DeCicco (graduate, undeclared) also added 11 receptions, which was the seventh most in a single game in school history.

IUP is having another great year on the defensive side of the ball despite

(Nick Dampman/ The Penn)

some injuries to key players.

The Crimson Hawks are tops in the conference in both total defense and rushing defense.

Kevin Clarke (sophomore, kinesiology health & sport science) had three games this year in which he recorded at least 10 tackles, including 12 last week against Cal U. IUP’s matchup with Slippery Rock will be broadcast via 90.1 WIUP-FM as well as online at backlighttv.com, with coverage beginning at 12:45 p.m.

NOTES, PREDICTIONS AND OPINIONS ON THE WORLD OF SPORTS

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

The Quips • The only thing royal about Game 1 of the World Series Tuesday was the beat down the San Francisco Giants administered to the Kansas City Royals, winning 7-1. Until the Royals turned it around the next day.

• Speaking of the World Series, Royals pitcher James Shields spoke about his poor postseason performance on Monday, prior to Game 1.

“I’m a big believer in amnesia,” Shields said.

One has to wonder if that amnesia includes forgetting how to pitch, as Shields allowed 7 hits, 5 earned runs and struck out only one batter in a disastrous outing. “Big Game James” threw more like “Three Frame James.”

• There was plenty of controversy surrounding the Florida State vs. Notre Dame game this week.

Many fans went after the referees for calling offensive pass interference on the Fighting Irish on the final play of the game, negating the game-winning

touchdown that would have given the team its biggest win in years.

Fans blaming the refs for their favorite team’s loss: how shocking.

• Speaking of complaining about refereeing, Seattle Seahawks safety Earl Thomas made headlines this week when he said the defending Super Bowl champions – who are currently a not-so-super 3-3 – are “playing the referees too.”

It’s interesting he said that, because I don’t recall seeing the refs wearing pads, running plays or making tackles – at least not on purpose, anyway.

I guess we’re all expected to ignore the fact that Thomas’ team was down 18 points at halftime during Seattle’s 28-26 loss to the St. Louis Rams. Apparently Thomas didn’t consider that tidbit as big of a deal.

• Pittsburgh Steelers outside linebacker and NFL commissioner Roger Goodell’s biggest fan, James Harrison, was called for roughing the passer during Monday night’s 30-23 victory over the Houston Texans. Is it 2010?

• The annual NBA General Manager survey results were released on Wednesday and, unsurprisingly, the majority of

the G.M.s chose northern Miami – I mean Cleveland – to win the Eastern Conference and reach the NBA Finals.

There, the Cavaliers will lose to, you guessed it, the defending champion San Antonio Spurs, which would mark the third straight season the Spurs have made the finals. It would also mark the fifth straight time a team that includes superstar small forward LeBron James appears.

Come on, guys, at least try to act like your league has some form of parity. Oh, and their two top choices for league MVP? James and the second-best player in the league, Kevin Durant. Surprise, surprise.

• On a serious note, the NHL made the right call to postpone the Toronto Maple Leafs-Ottawa Senators game.
