TEN discusses entertainment budget
By PETE SIRIANNI
Managing Editor
P.M.Sirianni@iup.edu
While students are reminiscing about
their favorite moments from Thursday’s
homecoming concert, members of The
Entertainment Network can finally relax after a months-long planning process for the show.
The planning stages of the concert
have been ongoing since the spring
semester, when TEN used its Twitter
account to ask Indiana University of
Pennsylvania students who they would
like to see perform at the homecoming concert, the organization’s marquee
event. TEN then used a middle agent –
Matthew Walt of Articulate Entertainment – to negotiate pricing with artists’
representatives.
While criticized in the past for its
tendency to have a hip-hop act for the
homecoming concert, results of a TEN
survey showed that rap was still the
overwhelming majority genre that students wanted to see. A country show
was the next highest sought-after concert, according to the survey.
Though there is a wish list of prospective artists that would fall into
TEN’s budget range, the organization
must adhere to a slew of other considerations before a final contract with a
headlining artist can be signed.
“We’re locked in by the IUP administration for the homecoming show,”
Sam Barker, director of Program Services and TEN adviser, said.
“It has to be on the Thursday night
of homecoming weekend. When you
can only make one date available for an
artist, it’s rather limited to who you can
go for.”
The next step in the process was finding an artist who would fit in the budget
News
and would also have the ever-important
Thursday night availability.
“We need to keep our tickets under
$20,” Barker said, “so that really affects
the contract price that we can put out
there.”
Topping the list of more than 20 prospective acts included young stars like
Iggy Azalea, Mac Miller, Childish Gambino and Chance the Rapper. While the
Australian Azalea “would have doubled
the cost of the tour,” Miller also was cut
from the list after demanding too much
money.
Ultimately, TEN chose Chance the
Rapper for his affordable price tag and
because he was headlining the Verge
Campus Fall Tour, which is supported
by two opening acts of varying genres.
“We took into the account that
maybe people don’t want just rap,” said
Hanibal Inker (senior, marketing), executive and graphics chair, “which is why
we felt that the multi-genre show was
such a big deal because we could bring
multiple genres as well as pleasing the
majority.
We could also try and please the minority votes with that.”
In contrast to years past, this year’s
homecoming events also include tents
in front of the Hadley Union Building.
“It’s going to have a more festival feel
than we’ve ever had,” Barker said.
After a short bidding war that resulted in TEN paying $80,000 for the
Verge Tour, Chance the Rapper was
officially locked in as the homecoming
performer with supporting acts Sweater
Beats and Young & Sick, who is a young
R&B singer and has also designed Foster the People’s sophomore album “Supermodel.” Young & Sick cancelled last
minute, but the show went on.
Zach Clark, Director of Student
Activities & Assessment and TEN adviser, said that they wanted the show for
Chance’s popularity and the low price.
“On top of the contract price, which
is $80,000, that also included fees that
we would normally pay separately,”
Clark said.
Things like lighting, sound production, agent fees and the cost of the openers were also included in the contract,
which will create a “huge cost savings
to us and the student fund budget,” according to Clark.
TEN will still have to foot the bill
for union labor used for ticket takers, campus police and other security,
meaning the total overhead cost of the
entire event will range from $105,000
to $110,000. The ticket sale goal was
2,000 tickets, which would generate
$30,000 in revenue and bring the net
hit on the budget back down to the
original $80,000.
Keeping the hit on the budget to a
minimal is key for TEN, as costs of prior acts have meant the reduction in the
total amount of shows that can be offered throughout the school year. TEN’s
yearly music budget is $134,000, which
has been frozen for five years.
The 2012 homecoming show featuring hip-hop stars B.o.B and Tyga generated about $50,000 in revenue through
ticket sales, but the total cost was about
$206,000.
“That year knocked out about twoand-a-half shows,” Clark said.
Another factor in TEN choosing a
lower-cost concert had to do with the
organization being the sole supporter of
the event. In years past, the Black Emphasis Committee served as a co-sponsor, meaning more available funds and
less of an impact on both the organization’s budgets.

Additional info
• Since the opening of the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex in
spring 2011, The Entertainment Network has been faced with increased fees
of using the arena.
• The increased available capacity for shows in the KCAC is the reason
for the increase. Before 2011, homecoming concerts and other big events at
Indiana University of Pennsylvania were held in Memorial Field House.
“Since we got into doing the homecoming show in the KCAC, we have
had to cut a number of our music productions down by at least one over the
course of the year,” Sam Barker, Director of Program Services and TEN
adviser, said. “And that’s just the cost of using the arena. It’s not a rental fee –
it’s not anything IUP or Global Spectrum is putting on us. It’s just the real cost
of putting on a show in an arena of that size.”
• While the KCAC can pack approximately 5,000 into the Ed Fry Arena for
a concert, the only other truly viable place to hold a large event is the Hadley
Union Building’s Ohio Room, which can hold only about 700 people.
“We can really only do one KCAC show,” Barker said. “If we were to do
two, we would be pretty well wiped out.”

Borough, university police
prepare for homecoming
By CASEY KELLY
Staff Writer
C.M.Kelly@iup.edu
It is time again for the first celebratory weekend of the year at Indiana
University of Pennsylvania – homecoming weekend.
After a rambunctious IUPatty’s celebration in the spring of 2014, both borough and university police are preparing
for this weekend.
University spokeswoman Michelle
Fryling said she is unable to comment
on specific police strategy for the weekend but that students should be aware
and cautious while celebrating this
weekend.
“We are partnering with other police
agencies throughout Indiana County as
necessary,” Fryling said. “We are also
going to try and monitor social media
to become aware of what’s going on because we do hear of these things.”
Borough police chief William Sutton
presented a seven-page report of homecoming arrests in 2013 at an Indiana
Borough Council meeting last year, according to AM 1160 WCCS’s website.
“Sutton said that from 3 p.m. on
Thursday, Oct. 3 to 3 p.m. on Sunday,
Oct. 6, calls for service increased 252
percent,” said the report.
Out of the 156 total arrests by the
borough police during Homecoming
2013, 90 of those accused of crimes
were taken into custody.
Increased enrollment in 2013 is not
the sole reason for increased police citations. In fall 2003, 13,868 students
were enrolled, and in fall 2013, 14,728
were enrolled, a mere 6 percent increase
in enrollment.
“Our police officers, the borough,
the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Enforcement Group and the Pennsylvania
State Police are all working together to
coordinate police coverage,” said President Michael Driscoll in a Hawk Report
from Feb. 23 regarding future IUPatty’s
and Homecoming preparations.
“In 2012, we had about 97 cases, but
in 2013 – where we had all of this noise
about things – there were 70 cases, more
or less,” Driscoll said. “In 2012, there
were about 114 students, and in 2013
about 92 students.”
After 2014’s IUPatty’s celebration,
Driscoll sent out a statement to students
and faculty, saying: “We must make it
clear that what happened last weekend
does not represent who we are. We must
take further action to not let this happen again.”
The statement went on to say that
the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency will be working with the
Indiana County Emergency Management staff to examine what happened
over that weekend and develop plans
to minimize future homecoming and
IUPatty’s celebrations.
Above all, Fryling said that students
should be especially cautious and smart
during this celebratory weekend.

Monte Carlo Night offers partying alternative
By MARY ROMEO
Staff Writer
M.E.Romeo@iup.edu
Monte Carlo Night will be held in
the Kovalchick Convention and Athletic Complex Saturday from 9 p.m. to
2 a.m. as an alternative way for students
to celebrate homecoming weekend.
Tickets are $5 and can be purchased
at the Kovalchick Complex Box Office
or The Center for Student Life in 303
Pratt.
Students can also request tickets online and pick them up at a convenient
time from the Center for Student Life.
After approximately seven months
of planning from the Center of Student
Life, this will be their second year hosting Monte Carlo Night.
Nearly 20 student volunteers and
over 500 students are expected to attend
the event, according to James Smith, ex-
ecutive director of The Pulse.
Some of the games that will be offered on Saturday night are Blackjack,
Texas Hold’em, Craps, Roulette and
Bingo.
When gambling and playing games,
students will receive $10,000 in play
money for the night, which can also be
used to raffle with and win big.
Along with the games, there will be
a dance floor, professional casino dealers
and disc jockeys, laser tag, catered food
and prizes.
Some of the prizes include: Beats
by Dr. Dre headphones, bikes, an iPad
mini, a Smart TV, Pittsburgh Penguins
tickets and gift cards.
Many sponsors helped contribute to
Monte Carlo Night, such as Golden Key
International Society, Boosting Alcohol
Consciousness Concerning the Health
of University Students, Residence Hall
Association, The Co-Op Store and Eb-
erly College of Business and Information Technology.
The Center for Student Life encourages students to attend the event because
students will not only have chances at
winning luxurious prizes: They will also
be safe while still having fun.
Students have expressed very positive
feelings toward Monte Carlo Night.
“It’s a really good alternative,” Shannon Phillips (criminology, junior) said.
“It shows that IUP isn’t all about alcohol
and that it has a lot to offer to everyone.”
“It’s nice to have an event like this for
people that aren’t into drinking and partying,” Kelly Parsons (natural sciences,
sophomore) said, “because it gives them
an outlet to still have fun.”
“I think it’s a really good idea to have
something like this on campus,” Samantha Whistler (English, junior) said. “I
might make my way to it.”

Indiana Area Collaborative Team discusses saftey in
preparation of Homecoming 2014
Board of Directors holds session
before Homecoming Weekend
Lead News Writer
J.L.Bush@iup.edu
By MARY ROMEO
By JENNIFER BUSH
Homecoming was the main topic
of discussion at a meeting held at the
Kovalchick Convention and Athletic
Complex Monday evening.
Forty-five members of the stakeholders meeting were in attendance in
the PNC Room of the KCAC. The
group renamed itself the Indiana Area
Collaborative Team, and it consists
of first responders, Indiana Borough
elected officials, the Pennsylvania Liquor
Control Board, landlords and IUP representatives, to name a few.
The IACT meets monthly to discuss
safety for the IUP community and surrounding areas. Dr. Michael A. Driscoll,
Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s
president, said he hopes to be able to
“talk openly and improve communication,” between students and residents.
New to homecoming this year is
the addition of press conferences at the
KCAC starting at noon on Friday and
running through Monday. The Public
Information Officer for the homecoming weekend is Michelle Fryling, IUP’s
director of communications. She will
handle all of the press’ questions and
answers.
Emergencies will still be directed to
the proper police station or 911.
There will be two clean up days for
homecoming: Saturday, 11 a.m. to 12:30
p.m. and Sunday, 10 a.m. to noon.
Driscoll said that IUP’s students have
really “stepped up their game.”
He added that IUP’s reputation is
important and thinks that there is “a
push for the student body to be aware of
their impact.”
Kate Linder, associate dean of students
for student life and community engagement, is the homecoming planning committee chair. A new option for students
is the Monte Carlo night, which is being
held in the KCAC Saturday. Starting at
9 p.m., the event will have games, food
and movies for all in attendance. The
university is expecting between 800 and
1,000 students for this event.
Kicking off the IUP homecoming
weekend was Chance the Rapper, who
performed Thursday night in the Ed
Fry Arena.
There are many different options
for students looking for entertainment this weekend. IUP’s women’s
volleyball is having a tournament at
the KCAC on Friday starting at 11:30
a.m. Homecoming bingo, sponsored
by Boosting Alcohol Consciousness
Concerning the Health of University
Students, starts at 10 p.m. Friday and
is being held in the Ohio Room of the
Hadley Union Building.
A homecoming parade will begin
Saturday at 10 a.m. from the 13th block
of Philadelphia Street.
“We are planning for a smooth weekend, but preparing for a lot of different
scenarios,” Fryling said.

M.E.Romeo@iup.edu
With homecoming on the way, the
Student Cooperative Association Board
of Directors meeting was held.
Dr. Josh Castle, chair of the Finance
Committee, took recommendations
from previous finance committee meetings and addressed them at the Co-Op
Board of Directors meeting.
With a projected deficit of $92,720,
the Finance Committee meeting, which
occurred on Sept. 18, recommended
looking into the bus reserves.
The suggested financial approach was
to take $120,000 out of the $165,000
bus fund to help operate the budget for
this year.
With money being cut from the bus
fund, the bus fee might increase within
the next year.
The Finance Committee usually has
about $30,000 at the beginning of the
year for new charges.
The plan is to take some of the
money from the bus fund to help the
operating budget for this year because
there are a number of other requests to
filter in.
There is a tentative plan in place that
might help address budget considerations.
A question addressed at the meeting was a concern about homecoming
T-shirts being sold on campus without
permission forms.
Anyone that was removed from campus for selling T-shirts was removed because their shirts needed to be approved,
and they needed a reservation to sell.
Dr. David Piper, chair of the board,
said, “I wish everyone a happy and very
safe homecoming experience.
“It’s great to go out and enjoy yourself
– just know where to draw the line.”

Eighty-fourth annual Homecoming Parade
By URSUS FEDIN
Staff Writer
U.W.Fedin@iup.edu
Eighty-three years have passed since
Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s first
Homecoming Parade, and the event, beginning this Saturday at 10 a.m., stands
to be a major feature for the entire area.
Brianna Drylie, the assistant director
for student life and chair of the Homecoming Parade for the second year, said
nearly 100 floats are entered this year.
The floats represent recognized student
organizations, university departments
and community businesses.
In addition to these floats, other
businesses from the Indiana community
will be present. Drylie enumerated that
antique cars, privately-built floats and
marching units are some of the standard
groups that will join the student-run
groups in the parade.
Michelle Fryling, IUP’s director of
communications and media, said the
parade will begin via the boom of a
howitzer cannon placed near Indiana
County Courthouse and will be oper-
ated by IUP’s Department of Military
Science.
The route this year will begin at the
intersection of 11th and Philadelphia
streets, traveling along Philadelphia until reaching the intersection with Sixth
Street, at which point it will turn.
From here, the parade will continue
on to Church Street, then Oakland Avenue and make its way back to 11th,
where it will conclude.
However, motor-driven floats will
continue to the Robertshaw building to
be dismantled.

Opinion
Penn EDITORIAL
Homecoming events for all
If the onslaught of numerous groups of students selling T-shirts across campus
and the flood of alumni back to campus were not enough, the hordes of students
making trips to the local beer distributors to stock up for the weekend could only
indicate one thing: It’s homecoming at IUP.
It has been nearly impossible to walk through campus without seeing at least
one or two groups of students shouting something about purchasing some sort of
homecoming-related merchandise, normally student-designed and funded T-shirts.
Most of these student shirts display a similar message: “It’s homecoming, so
drink everything you can get your hands on!”
Social media is no better, with students taking to Twitter to brag about their
homecoming plans, or to reminisce about previous homecoming shenanigans that
they may or may not remember.
If you’re a student and you’re not into the party scene, it may be difficult to
find something to do this weekend that doesn’t involve alcohol. This is where the
university is stepping in.
This homecoming, the university is attempting to provide alternative entertainment for those seeking it with a series of alcohol-free events to keep students
occupied and out of Tuesday’s police blotter.
For those students who enjoy dancing, the African American Cultural Center is
hosting its annual Homecoming Mexican Dinner and Salsa Dancing. The event is
located at Cozumel Mexican Restaurant on Philadelphia Street and lasts from 6:00
p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Friday.
Students can also attend the homecoming bingo hosted by the Boosting Alcohol
Consciousness Concerning the Health of University Students at 10 p.m. Friday in
the Hadley Union Building Ohio Room.
Beginning at 10 a.m. Saturday, the Homecoming Parade can provide students
and families with a great way to start the morning, followed by the football game
against division rival Seton Hill at 2 p.m. at Miller Stadium. Round out your
alcohol-free weekend with Monte Carlo Night at the Kovalchick Complex complete with casino games, prices, food, dancing and movies from 9 p.m. to 2 a.m.
There are always alternatives to drinking, and it is important that students feel
that they have a choice. Just because you attend a party school does not mean you
have to partake in activities and make decisions that you may not be comfortable
with.
Remember to make responsible decisions that benefit you, not hinder you.

To the Editor:
The Penn’s (Oct. 7) otherwise
informative article, “IUP Enrollment
Decreases for 2014-15 Academic
Year,” unfortunately contains a graph
that exaggerates the actual enrollment
drop from 2012 to 2014.
The error is common with automated graphics programs that truncate
Opinion
to save space.
The actual percentage difference in
enrollment between peak (2012) and
trough (2014) is 6.8 percent (using the
midpoint convention).
Measurement of the length of the
bars in The Penn’s graphic shows an
erroneous visual difference of 18 percent.
The visual exaggeration of the drop
in enrollment by a factor of 2.6 hap-
pens because the graphic software
chops off the bottoms of the bars by
not extending them to zero on the vertical axis.
Reality is not as dramatic as the
original Penn graphic.

‘The Buried Life’ members speak to IUP
students about living life to fullest
By MARY ROMEO
Staff Writer
M.E.Romeo@iup.edu
Dave Lingwood and Duncan Penn,
stars of the MTV documentary show,
“The Buried Life,” spoke to students
of Indiana University of Pennsylvania
about their mishaps, endeavors and travels across the country Thursday in the
Hadley Union Building Ohio room.
Jonnie Penn and Ben Nemth are
the other members that complete the
quad of gentlemen that established “The
Buried Life.”
A compilation of stories about their
courageous and thrilling career was
recapped in a nearly hour and a half.
Lingwood kicked off the speech with
a bit of a spin – literally – as he erupted
into a couple breakdance moves that
entertained the audience.
The idea behind “The Buried Life”
is to complete a list of things that they
want to do before they die and help others with their bucket lists along the way.
Some of the tasks that made up their
bucket lists were crashing the Playboy
Mansion; being knights for a day; opening the 6 o’clock news and making a
TV show.
Many networks asked the four to
sign a TV show deal with them, but they
declined.
“We weren’t ready to give up
‘The Buried Life’ idea and allow producers to have complete control of the
show,” Duncan Penn said.
Among their many ideas was to crash
a red carpet, which required an elaborate
plan about how to sneak in, what to wear
and who to disguise themselves as.
After successfully getting in, the four
sent their recorded clip of the night to
MTV as a pilot for their show.
They were then flown to New York,
and MTV expressed that they wanted
to offer them a show, allowing them
complete control as executive producers
of “The Buried Life.”
With just a couple of women’s
suits from a thrift store and a lot of
embellishment, they were able to complete the unthinkable.
“One of our favorite quotes,” Duncan
Penn said, “is, ‘Today is the youngest
you’ll ever be.’”
Through their hilarious stories and
touching memories, they told students
to live their dreams and to do it now.
The objective of the talk and their
documentary show is to portray to
students that anything is possible if you
just go out and make it happen.

Spirit week creates excitement for homecoming
weekend amongst community
By JESSIE LIST
Staff Writer
J.L.List@iup.edu
Indiana University of Pennsylvania
welcomed homecoming weekend by
celebrating Spirit Week from Oct. 6
through the 10th.
Each day of the week had a designated theme.
Monday was Crimson Day, for which
students were encouraged to sport their
IUP apparel.
On Tuesday, students dawned their
tackiest ties.
Wednesday required students to wear
silly socks.
Thursday was Crazy Hat Day and
Friday features a blast from the past with
Flashback Day.
But the themes weren’t just open to
students.
“Anyone can participate,” said Amie
Lee, director of marketing and group
sales at the Kovalchick Convention and
Athletic Complex. “It’s a way to increase
school spirit among students, faculty and
the community.”
The week of fun and excitement
included faculty and community members as well.
This display of school spirit did not
go unrewarded.
Those who posted the best selfies on Twitter using the hashtag
#IUPHomecoming or #IUPfb could
receive gift cards to the Co-op Store
or Pizza House or some extra Crimson
Cash.
Businesses in the community were
also let in on the fun.
The IUP Cheerleaders and the IUP’s
mascot, Norm, visited local shops to
hand out Crimson Hawk gear and tickets to Saturday’s game to those who
showed the most spirit.
IUP President Michael A. Driscoll
was fully behind the excitement of Spirit
Week, according to Lee.
“He just loved the idea of Spirit Week
when I pitched it to him a couple of
weeks ago,” Lee said.
However, Spirit Week wasn’t just
about creating hype and excitement for
homecoming. It generated an even more
rewarding outcome.
“I think increasing the morale of
the faculty, students and community
throughout the week has been the
best thing that has come out of IUP
Spirit Week,” Lee said. “The smiles and
laughs we’ve engaged from visiting local
businesses, faculty and students on campus have been priceless. Uniting everyone to have a little fun while showing
their spirit has been a joy to everyone. We hope it will build each year and
develop into a tradition, creating school
pride.”
This week comes to a close as IUP
takes on Seton Hill University on
Saturday at 2 p.m. at Miller Stadium.
Students, faculty and community
members are encouraged to come cheer
on the Crimson Hawks.
“Since I’m in a fraternity, I will hang
out with alumni and get to know
them. But mostly, I will try to create
some great memories because this
only happens once a year. I have to
make it count.”
- Dave Evans
(sophomore, marketing)
“I am going to make sure I spend as
much time with my friends
as possible.”
- Amber Clark
(senior, art history)

Acoustic and Art night: Homecoming Edition
By ANDREW MILLIKEN
Lead Wet Ink Writer
A.P.Milliken@iup.edu
The 1960s Indiana University of
Pennsylvania student musical group The
Folkmen will perform Saturday night
in honor of their 50th anniversary and
IUP’s annual homecoming celebration.
The Folkmen were active at IUP
from 1963-69, surging from the earlier folk music boom in America during
the late ’50s and early ’60s. The roaring
popularity of groups like Peter, Paul &
Mary and songwriters like Bob Dylan
set the stage for folk music’s inevitable
popularity on college campuses.
The timing of this concert, while
appropriate, would have been perfect
if the Folkmen’s 50th anniversary had
been in 2009. Mumford and Son’s insanely popular album “Sigh No More”
was released in that year, sparking a
flood of popularity for similar folk-rock
groups in the following years.
Despite the five-year gap, the country is still in the throes of another folk
revival. College campuses are flooded
with fans of Bon Iver, The Avett Broth-
ers, Fleet Foxes, Regina Spektor and
How to Dress Well.
The roots of these popular contemporary acts can be heard in the acoustic
strumming and three-part harmonies of
groups like The Folkmen, who, while
seemingly antiquated, are still culturally
relevant in 2014.
While the concert is free and open to
the public, the show is aimed at drawing
IUP alumni back to campus for homecoming.
The Folkmen have had an impact
since their graduations. The establishment of the Folkmen Scholarship and a
published book, “Changing Times: The
Folkmen at IUP 1963-1969,” by former
Folkmen member Alan W. Luckey and
Saturday night’s concert show that these
former students and their acoustic guitars still matter to IUP.
Accompanying the concert will be
an art show by a former member of the
Folkmen, Fred Danziger. Located in the Kipp Gallery Annex
in Sprowls Hall following the performance, the exhibit will feature both
drawings and paintings by Danziger,
who was an IUP art major in the ’60s.
The exhibit will feature pieces from
that decade all the way up to his most
recent pieces, showcasing the development of his style in the tradition of
American realism.
Danziger’s website includes selections from his extensive catalogue of
work and a quote on his artistic inspiration:
“When I was three, I drew a picture
of a clown, and my mother liked it so
much, she gave me milk and cookies. I
liked that. I figured I was on to something there, and when I went to kindergarten, I already knew I was going to be
an artist.”
Homecoming has many events to
offer IUP alumni and students. The
annual parade, the football game and
day-long celebrations are just a slice of
what can be one of the most eventful
weekends on campus. With this concert and art exhibit, IUP hopes to offer
something for everyone Saturday night.
The Folkmen’s performance will begin at 7 p.m. in Gorell Recital Hall with
the Danziger exhibit following at 8:30.

Police horses party, live up
to name
By SAMANTHA BARNHART
Copy Editor
S.E.Barnhart@iup.edu
An important sector of the police
force in Indiana, the horse officers,
unanimously decided on Thursday to
trade in their badges for mardi gras
beads.
Instead of working with their human
officers, the horses will join the partying
students this homecoming weekend.
Officer Spot Whippersnapper explained the decision.
“All of us – the horse officers of the
law, I mean – got together and decided
that we didn’t want to stop the partying
this year,” Whippersnapper said. “We’re
animals, after all. All we really want is
to party.”
The sudden change in allegiance,
however, wasn’t the result of a sudden
change of heart.
Officer Whisker Tickles, horse chief
of the borough police, said the horses
have felt conflicted for some time now.
Tickles’ frustration over going
against horse nature even resulted in
him kicking a student last year.
“To be honest, the real reason I
kicked a student last year wasn’t because
of his threatening approach,” Tickles
S TOP BY OUR OFFICE IN THE HUB
19
said. “I kicked him because I hoped he’d
spill his beer, so I could lap it up.”
Other horse officers complained
about the strict rules in place that prevent them from raging.
One criticism mentioned was the inability for horses and students to have
body contact without the approval from
the human officer.
“I hate that the students aren’t allowed to pet us,” Officer Pretty Lady
whinnied. “I just want a cute guy to run
his hands through my flowing mane
and rub my soft muzzle. Only for one
night. Is that so wrong?
“The officer riding me all night is
such a drag,” Lady said. “I feel like I
have a chaperone. Like, would you get
off my back already? Literally, though.”
Horses gave differing reasons for
breaking from the force.
Officer Mister Cuddlywumpus is
protesting the prohibition of drinking.
“Even though I’m only seven
in horse years, that’s like 28 in human years,” Cuddlywumpus said.
“I think should be able to eat all the
boozy carrots and sugar cubes I want.”
Officer Hank Peterson resigned for
contempt felt at the human officers.
“How come the other horses got cool
names?” he asked.

Because October is national Adopt a
Shelter Dog Month, Indiana University
of Pennsylvania and local shelters are
bringing awareness to dogs that need
homes.
There are two well-known animal
shelters near campus, Indiana County
Humane Society and Four Footed
Friends. The Indiana County Humane
Society recently moved locations to 191
Airport Road for improvements.
Harley Beal (sophomore, psychology) currently works at the Humane
Society and has watched the progress of
the building.
“The new advancements include
more space that has greatly increased
our occupancy capacity, overall cleanliness and structural maintenance, and
the system is a lot more organized.”
Lisa Wier, another employee at the
humane society, spoke of the importance of adopting from the shelter.
“These dogs are rescued from neglectful situations and are having their
life saved when they get adopted.”
Lisa explained the volunteer requirements for the students who may be
interested in giving their time to the
animals.
“You must be 18 years of age or older
have an identification card and an application filled out,” she said. “Volunteers
are always welcome either as individual
students or as groups. IUP currently has
600 hours into the shelter.”
The adoption process is easy once
the actions get put into place. Lori
Libengood, the receptionist at the humane society, listed the steps involved in
adoption.
“An application is required, then the
home situation will be evaluated, which
may include contacting parents or landlords,” Libengood said. “Before the dog
gets to go home, it has a tracking chip,
up-to-date shots and will be spayed or
neutered.”
Kimberly Blain (senior, biology: preveterinary) has proudly adopted her dog
from the Four Footed Friends shelter.
“My dog’s name is Logan, who is
currently eight years old, and I have
had him for two years – even though it
seems like he has been in my life forever.” Blain said. “Certain obstacles
had stopped the process of me adopting him, and by the time I had sorted
things out, other people were interested
in him as well. However, the paperwork
got denied, and I received my chance to
adopt him myself.
“The shelter does not let university
students adopt,” she said, “but I was 21
years of age and volunteered for them in
the past. I was more than happy to call
him my forever friend.”
Blair said there are many benefits to
adopting.
“I highly recommend adopting a dog
because you are saving a life, and it is
much more cost efficient. They are ready
for their new forever homes and to love
and be loved by their families.”
Students interested in learning more
about the cause are able to donate to
local shelters and attend the events held
on Oct. 25 by the Alice Paul House and
Indiana Humane Society, which are
pairing up to bring education about domestic violence.

All-male fashion show meets rap and dance
By URSUS FEDIN
Staff Writer
U.W.Fedin@iup.edu
The Fashion Visual Merchandising
Club held an all-male fashion show for
the first time on Wednesday.
Proceeds from the show benefited
the American Cancer Society, a decision
reached by all members of the club.
Five primary showcases were featured
within the show: preppy, sporty, urban,
suit and tie and Serenity for Mankind, a
set completely designed by student Jay
Tremble.
However, rap and dance performances between sets was a twist that set
this show apart from similar displays.
The collection primarily consisted
of khakis with a blue button-down, but
there were variations occasionally. As
shown by the collection, button-downs
are in, and bow ties are vogue.
This set was immediately followed
by a dance performance by the fraternity Lambda Sigma Upsilon. The steps,
stomps and claps that comprised their
show had the audience cheering by the
end as the music sped up, and the act
became more intricate.
HIRING
NEWS EDITOR
Sporty models followed, featuring
sweatsuits and casual clothing.
Shortly after, Indiana University of
Pennsylvania’s own Zach Morris and
his off-campus friend Jake Newman
covered Kanye West’s “Mercy.” Their
rendition rocked the stage, and their
performance was well-received overall.
An urban clothing line featured after Morris and Newman excited the
stage. Bleached denim shirts, slightly
baggy pants and contemporary skate
shoes prominently featured in this
grouping. Models in this particular
group enjoyed strutting across the stage,
comfortable in their everyday outfits.
Three members of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity followed with a
dance, then some remarkably violent
“hamboning” and finally a stomping
dance with a cane.
Visual Fashion Merchandising President Ashley Zuchelli (senior, fashion
merchandising, business and marketing) explained a pause in the show.
“It’s different with girls,” she said,
“because a lot of the girls who’ve
modeled in fashion shows know what’s
going on – we’ve never had a male fashion show, and they don’t know what to
expect.”
Disc jockey Leron Tooles (junior,
marketing) – stage name LGT – had a
different perspective.
“I’ve
been
DJ-ing
fashion
shows for three years,” Tooles said.
“Usually we have run-throughs, but
today we didn’t have one. So, I’m real
proud of all these guys.”
Despite
the
delay,
Master of Ceremonies Faheem Sims
(sophomore, communications media)
didn’t miss a beat.
From the stage, he teased the
models about their slow outfit changes, then proceeded to prove to the
audience that he did indeed have what it
took to stride down the runway.
After a small conversation with DJ
LGT, the models were ready for their
next set, Serenity for Mankind.
The primary focus of this set could
be described as “flowered and urban.”
A clothing item on each
model – typically a hoodie – had a floral
design in the shape of a man’s head
inscribed on it.
Another performance by Morris and Newman followed, with
suit-and-tie models directly after.

matching tan khaki shorts and a black styled wrist watch to make his outfit a complete package deal.
Darryl Clark (junior, human development and environmental studies) walked the
runway in a royal blue polo sweater and a white collared button-up shirt with the
sleeves rolled up to quarter-length to make this trend a new style sensation.

Greek life prepares floats for Saturday’s parade
By PAUL SHALOKA
Contributing Writer
P.P.Shaloka@iup.edu
Nothing says homecoming at Indiana University of Pennsylvania – other
than “Don’t touch the horses” – quite
like the annual Homecoming Parade. The parade will begin at 10 a.m. to
the thundering roar of the Department
of Military Science’s howitzer cannon,
which will be fired from just outside the
Indiana County Court House. The theme of this year’s iteration in
a longstanding Homecoming Parade
tradition is “Board Games.” Such floats
as “Candy Land,” “BattleShip,” “Sorry!”
and more can be expected at the event.
The parade will begin at 11th and
Philadelphia streets, where it will travel
to Oakland Avenue and 11th street and
come to an end. A stunning 80 floats
will be in attendance, most having been
constructed by campus fraternities and
sororities. “Pomping” is the colloquial term
used to refer to the planning, construction and decoration of the floats.
Pomping involves coordinating color
schemes, actual construction efforts,
bringing artwork to life and attaching
the final creation to a movable vehicle. This year’s theme of board games has
inspired some outside-the-box thinking
and over-the-top creativity from participants. Viewers should expect to see
literal and more interpretive imaginings
of board game classics: Everything from
hyper-realistic naval vessels to scenes of
childhood whimsy will make an appearance.
A friendly spirit of competition has
emerged among the various Greek life
organizations, all of which seek to build
the biggest and best float possible.
Greek life participants have been
working around the clock, primarily in
2-4 hour shifts, in order to bring their
plans and dreams into reality. In an act
of general philanthropy, fraternity and
sorority members will clean the parade
route upon its ultimate conclusion, bettering the community not just through
participation in the parade but through
general upkeep and maintenance as
well.
Anne Dieffenbach Johnson, of Fairfax, Va.; Lt. Col. Barry Gasdek, of
Laramie, Wyo., and Ruth Riesenman,
of Indiana, will lead the parade as this
years grand marshals. The role is mostly
ceremonial but still important to the
community and the parade. The grand
marshals are all decorated athletes and
soldiers, serving the school and country
proudly.
Despite graduating 50 years ago from
IUP, the three men and women are still
acting members of the IUP community
and continue to serve as role models for
student and faculty alike.
IUP’s marching band will perform
in the parade, but not alone. They will
march alongside regional high school
bands and former IUP students.
Past themes of the parade include “Classic Video Games” and
“Cartoons Remembered,” particularly
poignant due to the recent occurrence
of the first Saturday without morning
cartoons.
The Crimson Court will also
play a part in the parade. Only five
years old, this relatively new tradition
is a vehicle to honor high achieving
IUP students.
The parade is a tradition that
community members, students and
alumni take pride in and re-new every
year homecoming weekend.

Well Indiana, it’s Oct. 10, which
means that in Munich, the 16-day
drinking celebration of Oktoberfest has
just come to a close.
It also means that the college students of Indiana University of Pennsylvania and alumni alike will begin celebrating Homecoming Weekend 2014
– or, “Hawktoberfest.”
So, for my first Oktoberfest experience, I chose Harpoon Octoberfest,
Spaten Oktoberfest, Abita Octoberfest,
Yuengling Oktoberfest, Dundee Oktoberfest and Marzen Lager Oktoberfest.
I began my Oktoberfest adventure
with Harpoon and ended up feeling less
than impressed.
It had a promising dark, amber coloring and a light, caramel aroma; however, the flavor fell short.
There were some nice hints of caramel and chocolate in the flavor, but it
left me with an aftertaste I could have
Wet Ink
done without.
Overall, it was a very average beer
that no where near lived up to the standards I went in with.
Spaten provided some relief from my
aforementioned feelings of dissatisfaction.
I approached Spaten with high
hopes – considering it was one of the
only Oktoberfest beers I purchased that
was actually brewed in Germany – and
it delivered.
It provided a familiar taste of caramel and spices, with subtle citrus undertones that ended up being very enjoyable to drink.
The bottle claims that Spaten is a
beer that “calls for vederhosen, dirndls
and oompah music,” but it works just
fine in a small apartment paired with
some chips and your favorite movie.
My Oktoberfest winning streak continued with Abita.
Like the others, it had a nice, amber
coloring and a smooth, caramel-esque
flavor.
It was a little bitter at first, but the
bitterness was quickly replaced with a
smooth sweetness that brought out a
hint of cinnamon flavor.
Dundee and Marzen Lager were my
least favorite of the bunch.
Dundee lacked the flavor that Spaten
and Abita provided.
There were traces of common Oktoberfest flavors, like caramel and toasted
oats; however, it came across as plain
and a little watered down.
Marzen, similar to Harpoon, left me
with an unpleasant aftertaste and wanting more in terms of flavor.
And finally, as a Pennsylvania girl
born-and-raised, I couldn’t pass up
trying Yuengling’s take on an Oktoberfest.
And it did not disappoint.
The Yuengling Oktoberfest had a
prominent caramel taste that balanced
sweetness and bitterness nicely, making
it the easiest to drink out of the six.
The toasted oat and hop undertones
complemented the caramel flavors
nicely and secured Yuengling’s spot as
my favorite Oktoberfest of the night.
Seasonal beers are finally in the beer distributors as Halloween approaches the Oktoberfest Beers have hit the shelves this
October. (Photos by Alec Connors/ The Penn)

‘The Walking Dead’ Season 5 : How much bigger can it get?
By CHUCK BARNEY
Contra Costa Times
MCT
How much life is left in “The Walking Dead?”
That’s a question I raise whenever
AMC’s zombie sensation enters a new
season, as it does on Sunday.
After all, how does a series that constantly relies on shock and awe keep
the suspense percolating? How many
times can you put its gutsy little band
of survivors on the run, or in ominous
peril, without feeling repetitive? And,
really, just how many fresh, imaginative
ways are there to bludgeon a reanimated
corpse?
But I’ve learned to never bet against

in 2010 with 5.3 million viewers. At
the time, it was AMC’s highest-rated
premiere. Little did we know how monstrous it would become. When the show
aired its Season 4 finale this March, 15.7
million viewers tuned in.
Can the “Dead” rise again in Season
5? It certainly has a tremendous jumping-off point. When we last saw Rick
Grimes (Andrew Lincoln), Daryl Dixon
(Norman Reedus) and their comrades,
they had followed some railroad tracks
to the mysterious outpost of Terminus,
a community that promised “sanctuary
for all.”
It was an appalling case of false advertising. Shortly after their arrival, our
survivors were taken captive and imprisoned in a train boxcar. But why?
In Sunday’s season opener, we get
some answers very quickly, and it isn’t
pretty. The opening minutes, in fact,
might deliver the show’s most gruesome
sequence ever, and for “The Walking
Dead,” that’s saying something.
I’ve seen it and won’t disagree. Clearly, this is a series that feels the urge to
keep topping itself, lest it fall into a rut.
There will be no major spoilers here.
I’ll only say that the opener picks up
just moments after March’s cliffhanger,
when Rick snarled that their captors
“are screwing with the wrong people!”
What ensues is a dizzying, turbocharged confrontation designed to keep
your nerves in a vise – or your stomach
in knots. Of course, it’s all punctuated
with the violent reverie of an all-out
zombie splat-fest. So, basically, it’s “The
Walking Dead” on crank.
Alas, the episode does ease up long
enough to offer some hints as to how
Terminus evolved from haven to hellhole. There are also a couple of emotional reunions, and even a little more
intel on why scientist Eugene Porter
(Josh McDermitt) might have the cure
for the zombie apocalypse.
Is it enough to keep the masses
watching? AMC and the people behind
the show certainly are counting on it.
Robert Kirkman, an executive producer and creator of the comic book series on which “Walking Dead” is based,
recently told Entertainment Weekly
that he doesn’t plan “on stopping anytime soon.” And a “Walking Dead”
companion series is expected to debut
sometime next year.
It’s tempting to think they’re overplaying their hand – that they’re about
to milk a phenomenal franchise to
death. Then again, let’s not underestimate the appetites of “Walking Dead”
fans. They might just be as insatiable as
the on-screen zombies that haunt their
dreams.
SCARE TACTICS: Not all horror
hounds, of course, love “The Walking
Dead,” but they owe a debt of gratitude to the show that was instrumental
in paving the way for more chills and
thrills in prime time.
Without the success of “The Walking Dead,” you likely would never have
the “American Horror Story” anthology
series, which launched its fourth incarnation – “Freak Show” – this week (10
p.m. Wednesdays, FX) and immediately
creeped me out with a two-headed version of Sarah Paulson.
And you certainly would not have
“The Strain,” which wrapped up its crazy, terrifying, fang-filled first season last
weekend and has already been renewed
for a second season. Or even “Grimm,”
which returns to NBC on Oct. 24, just
in time for Halloween.
There was a time when the mere idea
of macabre horror stories made TV programmers squeamish.
Not anymore.

Crimson Hawks right where they want to be
IUP looks for third straight victory on the gridirion during Homecoming Weekend
By JOSH HILL
Staff Writer
J.M.Hill5@iup.edu
George P. Miller Stadium will forever be known to its current players and
coaches at Indiana University of Pennsylvania as one thing: home.
The IUP Crimson Hawks (4-1) will
put their three-game winning streak
on the line against
a much improved
FOOTBALL Seton Hill (1-4)
squad in the 2014
homecoming game
on Saturday.
IUP has a 48-174 (.725) all-time record in homecoming games and has also
won each of the last three seasons.
Last year was the first meeting between these two teams, and the Crimson Hawks came out victorious with a
26-0 win in Greensburg.
Seton Hill University joined the
Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference last season and seem to be making
steady improvements under head coach
Isaac Collins.
Seton Hill is a team predicated upon
its passing game, and quarterback Drew
Jackson is the focal point for the Griffins
offense.
Coming off a game in which he
threw the ball 77 times against California University of Pennsylvania,
Jackson has tossed the rock 210 times
in 5 games. Jackson has a plethora of
lanky receivers at his disposal including
6-foot-3 FJ Williams and 6-foot-2 Erik
Kearns.
Additionally, Brandon Stout is a
weapon out of the backfield with over
200 yards rushing and 20 catches on the
season.
The Griffins defense, however, has
struggled this season, giving up an average of 42 points to their opponents and
allowing over 500 yards a game. Arthur
Tsapdong has been an anchor along the
defensive line for the Griffins this season.
Seton Hill does have the ability to
force turnovers, as they rank fifth in the
conference
IUP looks to continue dominating
opponents on the defensive side of the
football.
The Crimson Hawks had 10 sacks
last week against Edinboro University,
a number that is thought to be a new
record for the program.
Luigi Lista-Brinza (freshman, kinesiology health & sport science) had his
fourth 100-yard rushing performance of
the year last week and ranks at the top
of the PSAC freshman yards per game
list with 94.8. Drew Carswell (senior,
criminology) has become Chase Haslett’s (graduate, sports management) favorite receiver, and now leads the team
in catches (21), yards (334) and touchdowns (4).
IUP head coach Curt Cignetti was
adamant that a large crowd is important
to the team.
“I think the players get excited when
there’s a lot of fans in the stadium,”
Cignetti said.
“We’ve had a really good student
turnout our first two games, and hopefully we can add to that this week. It’s
just great to be back home.”
It was during the final goal when the
game seemed to be played in slow motion. Viann Heder was about to take a
free kick.
All eyes were on her.
And the anticipation was overwhelming.
“Kyra Hiricik ran up to her and
grabbed her face and told her she was
going to make the shot,” Virgara said.
And sure enough, the ball flew
straight to the back of the net.
It was a feeling the team would never
forget – and an especially amazing one
for Virgara.
IUP recruited Virgara in 2008 to
play striker, yet she quickly found that
head coach Adel Heder had different
plans.
“Coach taught me a lot,” Virgara
said. “Without his help, I wouldn’t have
been able to do all that I accomplished.”
She became a versatile player, positioned as a striker, outside midfielder
and even a defender.
Virgara learned early on that she had
to adapt to any situation thrown her
way – swiftly and effectively.
Heder believed in her abilities and
pushed her to make the most of her talents.
“You can either take it and run with
it, or throw it back and miss out,” Virgara said.
Being a versatile and well-rounded
player required Virgara to physically
and mentally prepare herself.
Each situation came with a different
set of skills, a different mindset and different approaches.
Although some may have found this
challenging, Virgara strived for greatness and played hard for the sake of her
team.
She grew as both a player and as an
individual.
Virgara accredits her teammates as
her greatest mentors throughout her
four years of playing with the Crimson
Hawks.
There was not neccesarily one person
who single handedly influenced her, but
she said that “every single person every
year helped [her] in some way or another, whether they knew it or not.”
Virgara learned a little bit from every
player that ran by her side.
Looking back, Virgara regrets nothing: Practices that left her drenched in
sweat, games that left her in tears and
teammates that left a smile on her face
were all worth the commitment.
“Playing for this team was the best
time of my life,” Virgara said. “I got to
play the sport I love with the people I
love.”
Being a part of the women’s soccer
team taught Virgara to chase perfection
in everything she pursues in life.
Values she learned on the field have
followed her as she comes face to face
with challenges in the real world – a
drastic change from the comforting
sidewalks of IUP.
“If you’re not the best at first, you
work hard until you are,” Virgara said.
Virgara recently moved to Nashville,
Tenn., to work for a new professional
wrestling company called Global Force
Wrestling.
The Crimson Hawks return home to make a run at a third straight win Saturday.

It was a scene you would expect to
see in a movie: a team that strived for
greatness and success, full of players
with heart, soul and endurance.
It was a warm autumn day when Indiana University of
Pennsylvania competed against West
Chester University
SOCCER to qualify for the
2009 NCAA Sweet
Sixteen.
As former IUP player Paige Virgara
said in reminiscence, every person on
the team wanted nothing more than to
capture a victory.

Homecoming flashback: Kent Stauffer
Former Crimson Hawks golfer made four NCAA Championship appearances
By MICHAEL KIWAK
Lead Sports Writer
M.T.Kiwak@iup.edu
Indiana University of Pennsylvania
men’s golf has a long track record of success, with notable golfers such as Ryan
Sikora, Gavin Smith and, most recently,
Zack Kempa.
But, out of them all, the most notable might be Kent
Stauffer, who atGOLF
tended IUP from
1978 through 1981.
While playing
for the school, the
Bradford-raised
player earned first
team All-American honors in 1979
through 1981.
Additionally, the team made the
NCAA Championships each year he
was on it, finishing seventh in 1978 and
1979, 12th in 1980 and sixth in 1981.
In honor of his excellent play during
his time at the university, he was elected
to the IUP Athletic Hall of Fame in
2006.
After graduating, Stauffer pursued a
professional career and joined the PGA
Tour.
After two years of being a part of
the tour, his path changed when he became an assistant golf professional in the
greater Pittsburgh area in 1984.
After 16 years, he moved to Charlotte, N.C., where he became Director
of Instruction at the Carmel Country
Club.
His tenure in that opportunity saw
Stauffer develop “one of the best recognized junior golf programs in the Carolinas Section PGA at Carmel Country
Club,” according to Charlotte Public
Golf.
During this time, he was also recognized as both the PGA Player of the Year
and PGA Teacher of the Year in the TriState PGA Section.
He spent 11 years at that position
and then moved on to hold the same
position at the Impact Performance
Golf Learning Center in Charlotte.
Stauffer also made contributions to
Ratcliffe Golf Services as Director of
Instruction.
Stauffer has also been a life member
of the PGA of America since 1988.
Over the course of his career, he has
participated in four PGA Championships and three U.S. Opens.
Additionally, he has appeared in and
won 13 National Club Professional
Championships.
His most notable performance at
one of these events was in 1988, when
he finished 47th in the U.S. Open with
a seven-over 291.
As an instructor, Stauffer was named
Golf Magazine’s Top Instructor in
North Carolina from 2000-2010, Golf
Digest’s Top Instructor in Southeast US
from 2008-2010, was nominated for
Teacher of the Year Carolinas Section
PGA from 2001-2011.
He was also on the PGA President’s
Council in Growing the Game from
2006-2011.
Stauffer is also a Titleist Certified
Golf Fitness Instructor, which means
he is allowed to perform a student’s golf
swing evaluation. That includes a physical assessment in order to determine
golfers’ specific strengths and weaknesses.
This information is then sent to
Titleist – a golf outfitter – where professionals construct a specialized fitness
regimen for the student.
It should be no surprise that Stauffer
has become as accomplished as he has.
After all, golf appears to run in his
blood.
His two brothers, Kirk and Keith,
were also notable players for IUP.
Kirk was a third team All American
in 1983, and he is currently the golf
professional at Pine Acres Country Club
in Bradford.
He is also the President of Western
New York PGA Section.
As for Keith, he is the head coach
of the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford’s men’s golf team.
While coaching at Pitt, he guided the
program to its best finish in school history in 2013.
He also qualified for the 2009 U.S.
Amateur and was named a runner-up
participant in the 2010 West Penn MidAmateur. 26

Men’s basketball returns to practice with high hopes
Crimson Hawks preparing for two Division I preseason opponents
By VAUGHN DALZELL
Staff Writer
V.S.Dalzell@iup.edu
After a 24-5 season with an exciting,
but devastating, triple-overtime loss in
the NCAA tournament to West Liberty, Indiana University of Pennsylvania
looks to rebound better than ever.
With veteran leadership lost due to
the graduation of Marcel Souberbielle
and Mathis Keita, IUP returns one
starting senior, Devante Chance (senior,
communications).
Chance averaged 10.9 points per
game while averaging a career high 4.3
assists a game. As one of the team’s three
seniors, he is the most seasoned player
with 89 career games and 35 career
starts.
Returning starters Jeremy Jeffers
(senior, communications media) and
Brandon Norfleet (junior, communications media) will look to help the team
reach the next level. While both players are entering their second seasons as
Crimson Hawks, they have also had experience elsewhere.
Jeffers – a transfer from Division I
University of Drake – provides talent
and a high-percent shot from anywhere
on the court. Last year, he averaged 8.4
points a game while sharing scoring duties with many other players.
Conversely, Norfleet – a transfer
from Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference opponent Cheyney University –
is a seasoned scorer with 11.0 points per
game, the third best total on the team
last year.
IUP will undoubtedly look for him
to up his scoring and create opportunities for himself and his teammates.
Rounding out the rest of the starting
lineup, IUP will most likely start junior
big man Devon Cottrell (communications media) and sophomore guard
Cornell “Manny” Yarde (computer science).
Both will likely be expected to contribute as the last two members of the
Crimson Hawks’ starting five.
Cottrell, a 6-foot-7 player, averaged
5 rebounds a game and 6.3 points last
season.
This year, he is expected to hit the
boards much more with the losses of
Souberbielle and Keita.
Yarde, a two-time freshmen of the
Devante Chance (senior, communications media) returns for IUP this season.
week winner, will be looked at to contribute more this year and up his 3.4
points a game with the help of DeVante
Chance’s passing skills.
IUP will make trips to Pittsburgh on
Oct. 31 and to Tampa Nov. 8 to take
on Division-I schools the University of
Pittsburgh and South Florida University
as preseason games.
The Crimson Hawks, who held their

It wasn’t pretty, but the Pittsburgh
Steelers were victorious against the Jacksonville Jaguars Sunday.
The Steelers never make anything
look easy, and surely that was the case
against the Jaguars. The Steelers offense
sputtered once it got into the red zone,
but the defense put a full game together
for the first time this season.
It’s time for another look at the Steelers’ stock.
Brice McCain was signed this offseason by the Steelers from the Houston Texans. He was primarily brought
in to provide additional depth for the
secondary.
With Ike Taylor’s injury in Week
Three, McCain got an opportunity to
show the coaches what he could do in
extended playing time.
McCain beat out Antwon Blake and
B.W. Webb in the team’s week of preparation heading into the Steelers’ matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in
Week Four.
McCain did some good things in his
performance against Tampa, but most
notably provided a big-time “splash
play” – as head coach Mike Tomlin
would say – against Jacksonville.
Ben Roethlisberger had just turned
the ball over in the red zone and Jacksonville was looking to take the lead.
McCain, however, stepped in front of a
Blake Bortles pass and returned an interception for a score.
The Steelers never looked back and
were able to run the clock out, improving their record to 3-2 through five
games.
Additionally, Le’Veon Bell racked up
another solid performance against the
Jaguars.
It was the fifth straight game that he
totaled over 100 all-purpose yards.
Bell, who already appears poised for
a Pro Bowl appearance through five
games, continues to impress in his second season in the NFL.
Before the season started, I suggested
that Bell needed to have a big year if
the Steelers wanted to get back into the
playoffs.
Certainly, Bell has held up his end of
that proposition. The young RB has had
a dangerous combination of size and
shiftiness since he entered the league,
but this season it’s been clearer than ever
that Bell has what it takes to put his talent to use.
By the end of the season, it wouldn’t
be a surprise to hear Bell’s name in conversations of the NFL’s top running
backs, particularly the grouping of the
top five starters.
Steeler Nation should be excited to
see how the remainder of the season
plays out for the team’s stud running
back.
Dri Archer, on the other hand, was
the Steelers’ third-round pick in the
2014 NFL Draft and hasn’t been nearly
as impressive as Bell, his teammate in
the backfield.
So far this season, Archer has been
a disappointment. It is way too early
to label Archer a bust, but it is still discouraging to see him not produce on
the field.
The speedy Archer touched the ball
just three times on offense on Sunday
and managed a mere 10 yards.
Archer also has registered only fourreturns for a measly 16.3 yards-per-return average on special teams.
Only one of his returns reached beyond the 20-yard line. There is still time
for improvement, of course, but the
Steelers are hoping they will get more
production from Archer.
Another player to keep an eye on
is former New Orleans Saints veteran
Lance Moore, who is finally healthy,
and starting to see an increase in his
snap count.
Moore caught his second pass of the
season on Sunday but was also called for
a delay of game penalty for throwing the
ball after the play.
As reported by the Pittsburgh PostGazette and other outlets, Tomlin was
furious after the team’s game against
Tampa Bay because of how highly penalized his team was, as well as throughout the first month of the season.
Moore and Tomlin got into it a little bit on the sideline after Moore was
flagged.
If Moore looks to get on the field
more, he will surely have to play smarter, especially considering that he is a veteran – a player who came to Pittsburgh
having already well established himself
in the league.
The Steelers signed Moore in the offseason to provide some veteran leadership in the wide receiver corps, and he
will be looking to bounce back in the
weeks ahead.
The Steelers are 3-2 through five games in the 2014 season.

It’s time to do away with ‘Thursday Night Football’
By DEMETRI GEORGE
Staff Writer
D.George@iup.edu
I am probably not alone when I say
that “Thursday Night Football” this
year in the NFL has stunk.
All five games thus far have been decided by at least 20 points. By the time
halftime rolls around, some people have
turned the game off because they’ve
been blowouts.
The NFL is not a contact sport –
it’s a collision sport. Players’ bodies get
worn down throughout the season. I
can’t even imagine what my body would
feel like the Monday after a game on
Sunday.
I think the NFL needs to do away
with “Thursday Night Football” altogether. They are asking too much of
these players to have to play a game
on Sunday and then and play again on
Thursday. The quality of play is horrible for the most part. There just isn’t
enough time for players to prepare and
get their bodies right to play a game.
Now, don’t get me wrong: I love my
football. However, I would be OK if
it were just on Sundays and Mondays.
Obviously there should be football on
Thanksgiving. That’s a tradition and
Thanksgiving and football just go together like spaghetti and meatballs. But
for the most part, Sundays and Mondays would be just fine with me.
The NFL is all about player safety. I
think players are at a much higher risk
playing Thursday night games.
The NFL loves its star power, with
guys like Peyton Manning, Tom Brady,
Cam Newton and J.J. Watt, and it
would be a shame for one of those guys
to be seriously hurt playing in a Thursday night game. I know they are at risk
every time they play, but playing two
games in a span of four days isn’t safe.
I love watching football, especially
professional football. Giving fans more
football throughout the week is an understandable idea, but, ultimately, I
think it would be best to get rid of them.
I would much rather watch games on
Sundays and Mondays because – looking at the final scores of this year’s games
– the quality of play is much higher
when it is not on display on a Thursday
night.
I think it would be in the best interests of the league not to schedule Thursday night games after this season.
Even if the games improve and the
injuries are minor, I would still discontinue it.
The NFL is a multi-billion dollar
business and will do just fine without
“Thursday Night Football.”

IUP field hockey wins two of three in PSAC
By JAKE ENDERS
Staff Writer
J.G.Enders@iup.edu
The Indiana University of Pennsylvania women’s field hockey team won two
of its last three games in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference.
IUP kicked off its recent series of
games with a third consecutive win on
Oct. 1, defeating PSAC West rival Slippery Rock University, 1-0, at The Rock’s
Mihalik-Thompson Stadium.
The victory bumped IUP’s record to
3-4 (2-3 PSAC) in the season.
Forward Gabriela
Feaser (freshFIELD HOCKEY
man, College of
Health and Human
Services) produced
the lone goal of the
evening, scoring in
the 23rd minute of
the first half.
Following an IUP penalty corner,
Feaser knocked in the ball after receiving a pass from Chelsea Wanamaker (senior, psychology).
The win continued a trend of strong
defensive play by the Crimson Hawks,
who came into the game having won
three consecutive contests.
IUP’s defensive unit allowed only
four shots on goalkeeper Darian Shuker
(senior, business) and blocked five shots
of their own.
At the other end of the field, IUP
mustered only four shots on the Slippery Rock net.
Three of the shots came from the
stick of defender Casey McGowan (senior, exercise science).
McGowan’s shots against The Rock
pushed her team-leading total to 19 on
the season.
McGowan also received a green card
in the game.
IUP lost to PSAC opponent Shippensburg University by a 3-0 score Oct.
4 at Robb Sports Complex in Shippensburg.
The loss ended a season-high threegame winning streak for the Crimson
Hawks and dropped their record to 3-5
(2-4 PSAC).
In a game in which neither team produced much offensive pressure, Shippensburg scored twice in the first half.
They tallied once more near the beginning of the second half to put the
game away.
The win was Shippensburg’s fifth in a
row, and they now sit in second place in
the PSAC with a 5-1 record behind the
undefeated Millersville University.
The two teams combined for only
six shots on goal in the contest. The two
IUP shots came from forwards Taylor
Zielinski (sophomore, criminology) and
Feaser.
On the other side, Shuker recorded
one save in the loss.
IUP now sits in seventh place in
the 11-team PSAC, tied with Slippery
Rock, Bloomsburg University and Mansfield University.
The Crimson Hawks topped the latter in their most recent matchup, an
Oct. 8 battle in Mansfield that saw IUP
come away with a 3-0 win, its second
of the week.
Tia Bardnt (senior, sports administration) scored IUP’s final goal against
Mansfield, all but sealing the Crimson
Hawks’ shutout victory in the second
period of action.
The score was Bardnt’s third goal of
the season.
Since six teams advance to the PSAC
playoffs and nine conference games remain on the schedule, IUP’s season is far
from over.
However, they must find a way to
create more offense, as they are averaging less than one goal per game to this
point, and only two players have scored
multiple times.

Crazy football weekend
shakes up the rankings
By BLAIR KERKHOFF
The Kansas City Star
MCT
As wild weekends go, there hasn’t
been anything like it in a while.
Four of the top six teams ranked in
The Associated Press poll lost, and that
happened only one other time in history. Stretch it out to five of eight, and
that’s never happened.
The only teams that held their position in the poll released Sunday were
top-ranked Florida State and idle Georgia, at No. 13.
Everybody else moved. Contrast that
to the previous week when the top seven
teams all stayed put from the previous
poll.
The Seminoles, who smoked Wake
Forest, were the biggest winners. There
had been doubts about a team needing
late good fortune to put away Clemson
(yes, Florida State played without suspended Jameis Winston, but the Seminoles would have plunged with a loss),
and the defense disappeared against
North Carolina State.
But losses by the next three – Oregon, Alabama and Oklahoma – allowed
the Seminoles to put distance between
them and that group.
Auburn also made a big jump from
sixth to second after crushing LSU.
But the biggest celebrations occurred
in two states, Mississippi and Arizona.
As the day’s action spilled into early
Sunday morning it was impossible to
determine who had a better day.
Maybe Mississippi, because pop star
Katy Perry partied with Rebels fans after
watching Mississippi’s 23-17 conquest
of Alabama.
Rebels defensive end Robert Nkemdiche said that games like Saturday’s are
why he signed with Mississippi as the
nation’s top-ranked recruit two years
ago.
“We came here to do something different,” Nkemdiche said. “I could have
gone to Bama or LSU, but I wanted to
come here and make a difference.”
Mississippi State’s 17-point smashing of Texas A&M pushed the state’s
two major programs squarely into the
College Football Playoff conversation.
In Arizona, the Wildcats got the
whole thing started on Thursday by
stopping Oregon 31-24, making it two
straight victories for coach Rich Rodriquez over a top-five Ducks program.
The Wildcats zoomed 16 spots in the
AP poll from first team out to No. 10.
It marked the first jump from unranked
to top 10 since the AP poll went to 25
teams in 1989.
By the time the Arizona State-Southern California game reached the fourth
quarter, the college football day had
covered nearly every story line.
Then the Sun Devils delivered a remarkable comeback punctuated by a
Hail Mary touchdown.
Arizona State trailed the Trojans 3425 with 3:02 remaining, when Mike
Bercovici hooked up with Cameron
Smith for a 73-yard touchdown completion.
The Sun Devils got the ball back and
were at the USC 46 with 7 seconds remaining.
This time, Bercovici lofted a long ball
to Jaelen Strong, who caught the ball in
stride at the goal line for the score as
time expired, giving Arizona State an
improbable 38-34 triumph.
“That was the most unbelievable
night I’ve ever had in coaching,” Sun
Devils coach Todd Graham said.
It capped one of the most unbelievable regular-season days college football
has ever produced.
What’s rising?
Pac-12 intrigue.
If the season ended today, the conference championship game would pit
North champion California against
South champion Arizona. No league
team has played more than three games,
and only the Wildcats are undefeated in
league play (2-0).
Also, Connor Halliday.
The Washington State quarterback
did all he could to keep the Cougars in
the game against Cal.
His 734 yards passing set an NCAA
record.
The latest in the Mike Leach quarterback assembly line threw for six
touchdowns without an interception.
But Washington State fell at home to
California 60-59 in regulation. Cal
quarterback Jared Goff wasn’t too bad
himself, with 527 yards and five touchdown passes.
TCU is also on the rise.
Arizona became the first team to
jump into the top 10 from being unranked, but TCU also jumped 16 spots,
from No. 25 to No. 9, its highest ranking since joining the Big 12.
