Students ‘Chalk the Walk’ in the Oak Grove
By CASEY KELLY
Lead News Writer
[email protected]
Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s
chapter of the National Art Education
Association, in conjunction with The
Lively Arts, celebrated Wednesday’s
sunny, warm weather by co-sponsoring
the 23rd annual “Chalk the Walk” event
in the Oak Grove.
About 80 to 100 students participated in the event.
The grand prize of $100 went to Liz
Richards (senior, art). Second place,
a prize of $50, went to Sarah Shelly
(sophomore, nursing).
In addition to first and second place
prizes, there were four “topic categories”
from which students could choose to relate their artwork: social issues, political
issues, human rights issues and environmental issues. Each of these categories
yielded a $25 prize.
The prize for the social issues category went to Kaitlyn Mowery (sophomore, psychology).
Laura Manganello’s (senior, communications media) drawing of Martin
Luther King Jr. won the political issues
category. Manganello said she participates in the event every year.
“This year, I chose to draw Martin
Luther King Jr. to spark a discussion
amongst students about the Baltimore
and Ferguson riots,” she said in a Thursday email.
“People often say, ‘MLK would be
rolling in his grave if he saw you acting
like this,’ but in reality, MLK also stated
that ‘a riot is the language of the unheard,’ and often supported less peaceful approaches to unacceptable situations in need of immediate change.”
The human rights issue category
went to Alexa Titchen (sophomore,
journalism and public relations) for her
News
drawing of a woman glancing over her
shoulder, where there was a barcode, to
raise awareness for human trafficking.
Titchen wrote next to her artwork,
“Humans aren’t meant to be sold. Human trafficking is a $32-billion industry. Let’s be a generation for change.”
“I decided to participate because
three things I love were combined: nature, art and raising awareness of the
darkness in the world,” Titchen said in
a Thursday email. “Even if I didn’t win,
I knew that whoever saw my drawing
would then know at least one thing
about human trafficking.”
The environmental issues prize went
to Cory Glover (freshman, nutrition)
and Archie Kromah (sophomore, College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics).
This event was not exclusive to artists, but instead was open to the public,
said NAEA President Kathryn Close
(junior, art education).
“We’re hoping that students make
their own messages out of the categories,” Close said. “It gives people who
might not normally be doing art a
chance to do that, and gives people who
are walking through the Oak Grove a
chance to participate in something that
they might not have done, or at least relate to what the messages are.”
A total of 70 squares were blocked
off for students to utilize. The Lively
Arts supplied the chalk, NAEA supplied
the manpower, and a variety of IUP students supplied the talent.
The “Chalk the Walk” judges were
the following non-art professors: IUP
President Michael A. Driscoll and his
wife, Becky, Dr. Christine Baker, Dr.
David Ferguson, Dr. Marissa McClure,
Meghan Moore, Cate Planisky, Ann
Sesti, Dr. Susan Sibert, Dr. Theresa
Smith and Dr. Bob Sweeny.

PASSHE passes new IUP per-credit
tuition pilot – Jan. 30, 2015
The Pennsylvania State System of
Higher Education Board of Governors
passed Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s new Tuition Pricing Flexibility
Pilot on Jan. 22.
The previous method charged fulltime students a flat rate of $6,820 per
year.
A student wishing to take 12 credits
in the fall and spring semesters of the
2015-16 school year would pay around
$6,336 for the year – a decrease of $484
from the flat-rate yearly amount of
$6,820. A student who wishes to take
15 credits both semesters would pay
around $7,920 in tuition for the year –
an increase of 16 percent.
When the three-year phase-in period
is complete, assuming cost-per-credit
remains the same, a student wishing to
take two 12-credit semesters will pay
around $6,816 per year, saving them
$4 compared to the current flat-rate
system. A student taking two 15-credit
semesters in 2019-20 will pay around
$8,520 in tuition for the year – an increase of 25 percent.
Per-credit tuition pilot deferred for
one year – April 23, 2015
The previously approved Tuition
Pricing Flexibility Pilot was deferred for
one year when the Pennsylvania State
System of Higher Education Board of
Governors agreed to Pennsylvania Gov.
Tom Wolf ’s request for a one-year tuition freeze across all state universities
and state-affiliated colleges.
The pilot program was part of the
university’s three-pronged budget approach to solving the budget crisis at
Indiana University of Pennsylvania.
The freeze is contingent on the Pennsylvania legislatures approving Govenor
Wolf ’s request for a one-year tuition
freeze across all state universities and
state-affiliated colleges.
This also means that the deferral is
contingent with the Pennsylvania Congress approving the budget.

IUP Libraries plans stress-reducing activities
By STEPHANIE BACHMAN
Staff Writer
[email protected]
The Indiana University of Pennsylvania Libraries is once again hosting DeStress Fest before and during finals week
to give students the opportunity to relax
and take a break from studying.
IUP Libraries has been working with
the Center for Student Life, the Center
for Health and Well-Being and the Student Government Association to offer
stress-reducing activities since the end
of the fall 2013 semester. This year, it
became more of an official event, which
included expanding the number of days
that programs are offered.
De-Stress Fest started Thursday with
a Wii gaming session and Super Smash
Bros. tournament outside of Java City.
There was also the opportunity for attendees to play games designed by students in Dr. Michael Sell’s Video Games
as Literature class.
Other upcoming events include IUP
Libraries putting out snacks and drinks
for students as part of Food for Finals.
This will be held Sunday through Thursday, starting at 7:30 p.m.
There will also be Chill Out with Canines Monday outside of Java City from
1:30-3:00 p.m. Tuesday will feature a
Mindfulness Meditation session led by
Active Minds from noon to 2 p.m. in
Stabley 101. This is the third semester
the Chill Out with Canines program
will be offered
It gives students the opportunity to
interact with six therapy dogs and service dogs-in-training in order to help
alleviate some of the high levels of stress
that finals can cause and take their
minds off their finals for a short period
of time. One of the IUP librarians, Dr.
Theresa McDevitt, explained IUP Libraries continues to offer this program
because of popular demand.
“This sort of event has been offered during stressful times of the semester in academic libraries across the
county with great success for almost a
decade,” Mcdevitt said. “We wanted
to have therapy dogs and handlers visit
our library before, but it was not until
we connected with Dr. Mary Jalongo
– who has her own therapy dogs and
knows other handlers – that we were
able to offer the event.
“The program last fall and last year
was enormously successful. Hundreds
of students stopped to interact with the
dogs and their handlers and responded
to surveys distributed at the event that
interacting with the dogs had helped
them feel happier and calmer and felt
they would be able to focus better after
the interaction.”

Co-op Board finalizes
new executive board
By PETE SIRIANI
Managing Editor
[email protected]
In a pair of swift meetings, the Indiana University of Pennsylvania Coop Board of Directors finalized its executive board for the upcoming school
year Thursday afternoon in the Hadley
Union Building’s Knowlton Room.
At its regular meeting, Board Chairman David Piper thanked the outgoing
senior board members for their service
during their tenures.
Co-op CEO Louis Garzarelli Jr.
echoed Piper’s sentiments, as the fiveminute meeting came to a close.
With newly elected board members
taking their place at the table, a special
meeting convened.
Parliamentary chair Sam Barker
opened the meeting by taking nominations for chairman.
Piper was re-elected as chairman and
Dr. Josh Castle was also re-elected as
vice-chairperson, both by unanimous
decisions.
The only vote of the day came in the
race for board secretary, as Student Government Association President Vincent
Lopez (sophomore, English and political science) nominated himself.
New board member Emily Waggoner (junior, professional studies in education) also nominated herself.
Upon a ballot vote, Waggoner was
voted secretary, while Lopez was then
unanimously voted to be the board’s
treasury secretary.
The last two offices of assistant treasury secretaries were filled by new member Amy Kinneer (sophomore, College
of Education & Education Technology)
and James Birch (graduate, biology).
The Co-op Board is set to meet for
the first time in the fall semester Sept.
10 for its fall orientation meeting and
supper at 3:30 p.m. in the Knowlton
Room.
session, it is the first time IUP Libraries
is offering such a program during DeStress Fest. The workshop is designed to
give students the chance to think more
clearly, better understand how they feel
and think, be more accepting of who
they are and calm themselves during
stressful situations such as finals week.
Emily Lazar (graduate, clinical
psychology) is the secretary of Active
Minds, and she explained why they
put on the event and the importance of
meditation.
“We chose to do this event so that
students could learn more about [mindfulness and mediation],” Lazar said.
“We hope this event will offer some
useful skills and encourage students to
set time aside to take care of themselves
during finals week.
“Mindfulness and meditation are
important for students because so much
of college life centers on being busy and
thinking about future plans and goals
and worries. Mindfulness can help students feel less overwhelmed by these
things by reminding them to appreciate
what’s going on in the present, too.”
As students prepare for finals,
McDevitt said she wants “to encourage students to come into the library
and spend more time here, reduce their
stress levels and hopefully succeed academically.”

Foster announced the new positions.
Alex Kavounas (sophomore, marketing) will be representing internal affairs,
and Nick Walter (freshman, criminology) will be representing external affairs.
Hailey Tutton (junior, political science, pre law and philosophy) will continue as chief justice of the Board of
Arbitration.
Mike Robbibaro (sophomore, business management) will continue as treasurer.
A secretary position had not yet been
filled for next year, so all members of
SGA voted, and Kayla Straub (sophomore, psychology) was chosen to fill the
position.
Also at the meeting, old and new
business was addressed among the internal and external department reports,
addressing the construction of a bike
trail and the extermination of bugs in
buildings.
Diana Cesar (junior, management
information systems), outgoing director
of external affairs, commented on the
highway cleanup and thanked everyone
for their contributions.
For the 2015-16 school year, Vincent Lopez (sophomore, English and
political science) will be SGA president,
and Tyron Snead (freshman, political
science) will be vice president.
They were elected in April
Graduate assistant Britany Gallagher and Foster gave end-of-the-year
speeches to the seniors and the newly
appointed executive board members.
“It’s been a long, windy road, but
they put you in a direction in which you
will be successful,” Foster told Olean
and Rosenthal.
“I look forward to working with all
of you to see what we can achieve.”
Gallagher also commented on the
success and achievements that all the
SGA members accomplished.
“For the two years that I’ve been
here, I’ve not only been able to watch
you learn and grow as student leaders,
but I have also grown and learned myself.”
At the end of the meeting, 21 students were sworn into SGA for the
2015-16 school year.

Marital Enhancement
• Saudi Arabia’s very first sex accessory shop (in the holy city of Mecca)
should be opening soon, according to
news reports – operated by a Moroccan
Muslim, backed by the German adult
mega-retailer Beate Uhse, and supposedly fully compliant with Islamic law.
Owner Abdelaziz Aouragh told Agence
France-Presse he would stock 18 different Islam-appropriate toys for married
couples, along with oils and fragrances
that he said would enhance the marital
experience. (He did not actually describe
the toys, but ruled out U.S. mainstays
such as inflatable dolls and vibrators.)
One such “halal” sex shop opened in
Turkey in 2013, and Aouragh’s financial
partner runs a similar enterprise online.
The Continuing Crisis
• The February gun-and-baby-carrying workshop in Johnston, Iowa, was so
successful that instructor Melody Lauer
and CrossRoads Shooting Sports owner
Tom Hudson plan more. Lauer insisted
that she does not necessarily encourage
a baby-holding mother to arm herself,
but if she chooses to, safety would of
May 1, 2015
course require that she be familiar with
the tricky procedure of drawing, aiming and firing even though she might
be “wearing” a baby in a sling in front
of her body. Hudson, noting the fastgrowing market of gun sales to women,
said scheduling the workshop “was a nobrainer.”
• What is believed to be America’s
only hard-nosed “gang” composed only
of gay and transgendered African Americans hopes to have its story told soon by
filmmakers – who emphasize the group’s
transition from fighters to entrepreneurs
working to establish their own clothing
line, according to a March report on advocate.com. The gang, originally organized for protection (“We gonna get our
respect one way or another,” said one),
hails from the violent Washington,
D.C., Trinidad neighborhood, yet some
of the 200 members (in their teens or
early 20s) insist on stilettos, lipstick and
mascara (while carrying knives, brass
knuckles and mace).
Questionable Judgments
• Pioneering British facial surgeon
Ninian Peckitt, 63, facing a Medical
Practitioners Tribunal in Manchester in
April, was accused by a witness of “repeatedly” having punched one patient
in the face during a procedure in order
to straighten a fracture. Dr. Peckitt acknowledged having used his hands to
“manipulate” bones in the patient’s face,
calling it a routine surgery-avoiding
procedure sometimes required for extensive injuries.
• Suspicions Confirmed: Two airport screeners at Denver International
collaborated in an ongoing ploy in
which one, a male, signaled to a female
colleague that he had spotted an attractive male passenger in line that he
might like to grope. The female would
then suddenly notice an “anomaly” in
the screening and ask that passenger to
stand aside so the male agent could “inspect” him further – by genital and posterior fondling (over his clothing). The
two agents were fired in February after a
Transportation Security Administration
investigator, having been alerted to the
scheme, observed it in action.
Inexplicable
• From Recent Florida Crime Reports: Mohammed Almarri, 21, was
arrested on multiple charges in Tampa
on April 12 after illegally entering a
neighbor’s apartment in a high-rise and
forcing the owner onto the balcony. For
reasons undisclosed in the police report,
News
Almarri then allegedly microwaved the
man’s wallet in his oven.
Joseph Williams, 35 (and with several pending warrants), was arrested on
April 5 in Fort Pierce, Fla., after entering the emergency room at Lawnwood
Regional Medical Center and Heart Institute, demanding an enema and refusing to leave until he got one.
Leading Economic Indicators
• In the face of jokes about proliferating airline charges, the British
economy line easyJet added another fee
recently. If easyJet, on its own, cancels
a flight, it charges a fee of 10 British
pounds (about $15) to notify third parties. The airline said that even though
its own decision created the issue, it
must nonetheless cover its costs to provide cancellation notices to passengers
who miss connections or who need to
provide verification to collect on private
travel-interruption insurance.
• Is This a Great Country or What?
Counting only the pool of bonus money (not regular salaries), employees of
New York securities industries in 2014
earned roughly twice as much as the total income paid to all employees in the
United States who worked full time at
the federal minimum wage of $7.25,
a statistic reported by the Institute for
Policy Studies and backed by a University of Michigan professor that was
featured in a March New York Times
article.
Wait, What?
• In April, a court in Munich, Germany, ordered a dentist (identified only
as “K”) to pay the equivalent of about
$21,000 to patient “Alex S” for pulling all of his teeth (19) over four weeks
of treatments – as the remedy for his
schizophrenia and erectile dysfunction.
The dentist had testified that Alex had
too much bone inflammation for ordinary fillings. K made his own claim for
the equivalent of about $54,000 for the
damage to his professional reputation
that the trial had caused, but the court
rejected it.
The Redneck Chronicles
• Austin Hatfield, 18, reported to
an emergency room in April after being
bitten on the lip by a venomous cottonmouth viper in Wimauma, Fla. According to a fish and wildlife commission
spokesman, Hatfield had been keeping
the recently caught snake in an ordinary
pillowcase on his bed, and when it got
out, Hatfield (ungracefully) recaptured
it. The bite was not fatal.

With our 50th and final issue of The Penn hitting the newstand, a journey
that started in late August is now complete. The editorial staff gives their parting
remarks.
Molly VanWoert, editor-in-chief: This year I have forgotten what it’s like to get
more than five hours of sleep, complete homework assignments more than 12 hours
before they’re due and go to a restaraunt without copyediting the menu in my head.
I’ve also had the priviledge of working with the most talented, hardworking and
extraordinary people I’ve ever known, who have become my very best friends over
the course of the year. The Penn newsroom has become one of my favorite places,
and I will miss it when I’m gone. Keep reading, IUP, and we’ll keep writing.
Pete Sirianni, managing editor: It’s amazing to think that a year ago, the editorial
staff consisted of a bunch of students who liked to write articles and take pictures. A
year later, we’re left with friendships and bonds that will last a lifetime. I loved my
job, but more importantly, I loved working with some of the most talented people
on campus. I just hope everyone finds their dad.
Kayla Cioffo, news editor: For about six months now, I’ve had permanent bags
under my eyes that have been well worth it. Not only have I grown professionally
while in the newsroom, but I’ve grown personally, having made some of the best
memories with the people who share these cubicles with me. Thank you for reading
The Penn, IUP, and thank you to my co-workers for making every night a Photoshopping, pizza-eating adventure.
Rachel Clippinger, wet ink editor: The Penn has taught me so many lessons that
I will carry with me for the rest of my life. Thank you to the editorial staff for the
endless laughs and constant support this year at The Penn and outside.
Cody Benjamin, sports editor: Working at The Penn has been much more than
a chance to exercise my passion for sports and journalism. It’s been an opportunity
to foster a sense of leadership, and with that have come moments of frustration and
accomplishment alike. I couldn’t be more grateful for the chance to have served
IUP’s student body and surrounding community. And, of course, I’m very much
looking forward to doing so again down the road.
Katlynn Resides, photo & new media editor: Serving in two editorial positions
has been crazy, and I had to throw a normal sleep schedule out of the window, but
it’s been more than worth it. I’ll leave this year with some of the best friendships
I could have asked for, and I’m honored to have had the honor of Photoshopping
everyone’s face onto something else. That’s all I’ve ever wanted in life.
Samantha Barnhart, copy editor: I love my job, but the best part of working here
is being with friends that are some of my favorite goofballs on the planet. Life is
short, so eat as much Mexican food as you can.
Alex Robinson, graphic designer: Being the graphic designer for The Penn has
been such a great experience for me both socially and professionally. I had the privilege to interract with such kind and friendly individuals in a fun work environment
while growing in my design skills. I definitely learned great things that I can take
with me into the media field.

Alpha Xi Delta held
Two-person show ‘The Guys’
premieres in Waller Hall Friday first “Light It Up
Blue 5K”
By ANDREW MILLIKEN
Lead Wet Ink Writer
[email protected]
A two-person drama titled “The
Guys,” penned by award-winning
playwright Anne Nelson, premieres in
Waller Hall’s studio Friday.
Based on Nelson’s own experiences,
the play examines the aftereffects of the
Sept. 11 terrorist attacks through the
lens of a New York Fire Department
chief, Nick, and an editor, Joan, as they
prepare eulogies for Nick’s lost firefighters.
The play premiered off-Broadway
Dec. 4, 2001, less than three months
after the tragedy which inspired it.
“The Guys” opens with a vulnerable,
exhausted Nick trying to come to grips
with the deaths of his men and a sympathetic but directly unaffected Joan assisting him in writing.
Throughout the show, the characters learn more and more about each
other, the lost firemen and themselves as they take their own journeys
through the aftershock of one of the
most impactful tragedies in United
States history. Grant Hoogstraten (sophomore,
theater) said he researched the events of
Sept. 11 in preparation for his role as
Nick and gained a deeper understanding of the gravity of those events, an
understanding which escapes many who
were too young to grasp the horror in
2001.
“Obviously I’ll never fully understand,” Hoogstraten said, “but it gives
me some idea.”
Hoogstraten cited the duality of a
character such as Nick as a challenge,
someone who must balance his human
emotions with his status as a rigid leader.
“This is my first time playing this
kind of authority figure,” Hoogstraten
said.
While there are only two students,
Hoogstraten and Andrea Cary (junior,
theater) as Joan, on stage for the show’s
trim runtime of just over an hour, a
third student, Kaitlyn McGilvray (senior, theater) directed the production.
McGilvray, who helmed past IUP
productions of the family drama
“Proof ” and the Catholic conflict of
hierarchy “Doubt,” said she enjoys tackling difficult material.
“I like to direct stories that need to
be told,” McGilvray said. “If you can
walk away from the show having a discussion, I feel like I’ve done my job as
a director.”
McGilvray
utilized
a
minimal set for “The Guys,” using a table, a bench, a chair and a
counter to create the living room in
which the show takes place.
Nelson forbade the use of images
and sound from 9/11 when staging the
show, according to McGilvray, wanting
audiences to instead focus on the play’s
message.
“The Guys” runs for three performances, opening at 8 p.m. Friday and
showing twice Saturday, once at 2 p.m.
and again at 8 p.m.
Tickets are $3 with an I-Card and $5
without, and may be purchased at the
door.

No Ramen, No Problem
French Toast
By LAUREN KROMER
Staff Writer
[email protected]
Breakfast is often the meal that is
skipped the most within the student
community.
While it is the most nourishing, it is
also the most cost-effective, satisfying
one’s hunger.
Breakfast food can also easily be prepared for dinner because it is so quick
and convenient.
However, this recipe will be a bit
more advanced than pouring a bowl of
corn flakes and pouring milk over the
top.
Start off by preheating the oven to
375 degrees.
Whisk together 3 eggs, 1 cup of
milk and 3 tablespoons of sugar in a
shallow dish.

Soak the bread of your choosing in
the egg mixture and turn once, so both
sides are coated.
Then, transfer the bread into 3 cups
of crushed cornflakes. Coat both sides
in the cereal.
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large
skillet over medium heat.
Cook each piece of toast for 3 minutes on each side.
Once
all
are
cooked,
transfer to a baking sheet and place in
the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes, or
until cooked through.
Top with fresh fruit, jam or traditional syrup.
For students in the dorms, or who
only have a microwave, you can also enjoy French toast.
First, cube your bread. Any bread
will work.
Spray two large mugs with cooking
spray or spread butter around the inside.
Place the bread into the mug.
In a separate cup, mix together 1 egg,
3 tablespoons milk and a dash of cinnamon.
Pour half of the egg mixture into one of the mugs
with bread, and pour the rest into the
second mug.
Let it sit for one minute so the bread
can absorb the egg mixture.
Cook one mug at a time in the microwave for one minute, adding ten seconds at a time after, or until it is cooked
to your liking.
Do the same for the second mug.
Top with syrup and enjoy with your
roommate.
Make
it
a
complete
meal by adding a side of
sausage or bacon, and enjoy a glass of
orange juice or coffee.

Graduating senior prepared
to enter real world
By SAMANTHA BARNHART
Copy Editor
[email protected]
His future is living up to his name.
A week away from graduation, senior
Cory Bright (crisis aversion) is completely ready for the rest of his life.
Bright’s mother, Cheryl, said he’s
been planning ahead since three weeks
after his birth.
“His first word was ‘401k,’” she said.
“From there on out, I’ve gotten even
prouder of my son every day of his life.
“In first grade, he drew a picture of
putting my husband and I in Cherry
Woods Retirement Home, the premier Active Retirement Community in
Pennsylvania,” Cheryl Bright said. “His
ability to plan so far ahead has always
impressed me.”
After carefully planning his entire life out over the last 21 years,
Bright’s hard work is beginning to pay
off.
“I’m really excited to begin
the rest of my life after graduat-
ing,” Bright said. “Some of my fellow classmates are afraid to move
onto the next stage, but I couldn’t be
more thrilled.”
Bright’s planning has been so specific
that literally every aspect has been considered.
“Back in February, I applied to my
dream job: working as a veterinarian at
an animal hospital in Maine,” Bright
said. “Maine has a lot of puffins, which
are my favorite birds.
“A week later, I was hired. Next
week, I’m moving with my fiancé, Kate Slater, to Maine.
I’m so excited to spend the rest of my
life nursing baby puffins back to health.”
For several weeks in March, Bright
compared several homes for sale in
Maine.
In April, Bright and Slater purchased
a sensible, three bedroom home located
5 miles from the animal hospital.
“We were able to purchase our dream
home with a very low interest rate because of our great credit scores,” Bright
said. “We’ve both already paid off all our
college loans.”
They also recently purchased a reliable, safe, fuel-efficient used car that is
already in Maine.
The engaged couple is a perfect pair,
Slater said.
“I met Cory three years ago when we
were both volunteering at a food bank
on Thanksgiving,” Slater said. “Ever
since our eyes met over the mashed potatoes, I’ve been completely sure that
he’s my soul mate.
“I couldn’t be any happier,” she said.
“I feel amazing knowing that I met my
soul mate at 18 years old and get to
spend the rest of my life with the perfect
man.”
A fellow graduating senior, Kathy
Tart (theater philosophy) was unable to
comment on Bright’s story between all
of her sobs.
“I am so ready to face the world
head-on,” Bright said.
Thursday, Bright and Slater applied
to the Gerber Life Grow-up Plan after
agreeing on the very first baby name
proposed.

Students showcase
‘Elements’ fashion
show for class project
By MARY ROMEO
Staff Writer
[email protected]
Students in a fashion show production class held a free fashion show titled
“Elements” Wednesday in Sutton Hall’s
Blue Room.
The theme of the show depicted
wind, fire, earth and water.
A Fashion show production class
FSMR 358, focuses on developing an
understanding of fashion through image, language and events, according to
the undergraduate catalog.
About 20 models walked the runway, and 15 dressers helped the girls
to quickly change their outfits between
transitions.
“All the clothing that the
models are wearing came from
our own closets,” said Alaya
Scott (senior, fashion merchandising),
coordinator of the event.
“It was actually really fun to see all
the different clothing variations that we
made with our own stuff.”
All of the models were student volunteers that were friends, classmates or
sorority sisters of the girls that organized
and coordinated the fashion show.
Alpha Phi Alpha sister and model for
the event Savannah Buday (freshman,
dietetics) said she had a really great time
being a part of the show.
“I heard about it through one of my
sisters,” Buday said, “and I’m glad I was
able to be a part of it. It was a really fun
time.”
Phi Kappa Psi brothers also volunteered for the event by handing out
pamphlets at the beginning of the show
and spray painting themselves to become a part of the theme.
While
the
theme
of
the
show
was
earth,
water,
wind and fire, the girls managed to incorporate spring and summer patterns
into the outfits.
We came to the show because our
friends were models,” Bailey Botterbusch (freshman, criminology) said.
Caitlin Sippel (freshman, English:
pre-law) enjoyed some of the summer
clothes modeled at the show.
“It was really cute,” SippeL said.
“They definitely showed nice summer
clothes.”
Donations were accepted before,
during and after the show, and all proceeds go toward funding the Indiana
Community Garden.
The Indiana Community Garden
helps to grow healthy food, encourage
sustainability and build community
through its educational and gardenrelated activities, according to the pamphlet provided at the beginning of the
show.
Students, Indiana community members, faculty and even younger children
were in attendance.

IUP Jazz Ensemble and SuperSax BEC Weekend
Ensemble to perform Saturday
presents dance
By ANDREW MILLIKEN
Lead Wet Ink Writer
[email protected]
The 15th annual Indiana University
of Pennsylvania Jazz Festival, featuring
both the IUP Jazz Ensemble and the
IUP SuperSax Ensemble, begins Saturday.
The SuperSax Ensemble is unique to
this semester, being made up of five saxophones and a rhythm section – piano,
bass, drums and auxiliary percussion –
under the direction of IUP saxophone
professor Dr. Keith Young.
The Jazz Ensemble, which has been
active at IUP since 1938, will host and
feature celebrated jazz flutist Jim Walker
during its half of the two-bands-in-one
concert.
Walker, who was previously a classical flutist, will be featured on three Jazz
Ensemble pieces, including the blisteringly fast, chop-busting jazz standard
“Cherokee.”
As IUP trumpet professor Dr. Kevin
E. Eisensmith jokingly put it, he will be
“turning to the dark side.”
The multi-faceted flute player has
performed everywhere from the Pittsburgh Symphony to the Los Angeles
Philharmonic and can be heard on
movie soundtracks like the Disney films
“Aladdin” and “Pocahontas.”
Walker’s collective filmography credits are especially formidable, with more
than 750 soundtracks bearing his name
from 1988 to 2010, according to his
website.
“Few other flutists in history have
made such indelible marks in so many
musical circles,” Walker’s website said.
The SuperSax Ensemble will also
highlight a musical legend, as they plan
to premiere an original work by former IUP music department chair Jack
Stamp titled “’S’ to the Fourth Power
(SuperSax Samba in Seven).”
As part of the Jazz Festival, Walker
will be offering two clinics. The first, on
flute playing, will be Friday at 6 p.m. in
Cogswell Hall Room 121. The second,
on jazz improvisation, will be Saturday
at 1 p.m. in Fisher Auditorium.
Both are free and open to the public.
Many students plan on taking advantage of this opportunity.
One student in Jazz Ensemble, Sadie Spencer (junior, music education) expressed gratitude
at the opportunities that big band-style
playing offered her.
“Jazz Ensemble at IUP helps you to
open up, express and learn that it’s not
just the black and white on the page
but the musician’s elucidation,” Spencer
said.
“We create the bond, we create the
fun, we create the groove; we create the
music.”
The concert begins at 3 p.m. Saturday, with the SuperSax Ensemble performing first.
Tickets for the event are $6 with an
I-Card, $8 for senior citizens and $10
for general admission, and may be purchased at the Hadley Union Building
box office or at the door.

Ryan Uhl: IUP’s home-run king
By MICHAEL KIWAK
Lead Sports Writer
[email protected]
In 2010, it took Kyle Stryker 55
games to break Indiana University of
Pennsylvania Hall-of-Famer Kevin McMullan’s single-season home-run record.
He hit 13, one more than McMullan.
Fast forward five years, when senior
first baseman Ryan Uhl
BASEBALL (finance) matched that
number and eclipsed it
in just less than half the
number of games, 25.
“It was a pretty
cool feeling to break
that record because Kyle Stryker was a
very, very good hitter,” Uhl said. “To
even be mentioned in the same category
is an honor.”
Not only did Uhl set the single-season record, but he surpassed McMullan, currently an assistant coach on the
University of Virginia baseball team, to
become IUP’s career home-run leader.
Through breaking these two records,
Uhl ensured his coronation as IUP’s
new home-run king. Furthermore, his
performance throughout the remainder
of the season guaranteed that his reign
will be one worth remembering.
Uhl finished the season with 29
round-trippers and 42 for his career.
In addition to being an IUP record, his
single-season amount is a Pennsylvania
State Athletic Conference record and
the second most in NCAA Division II
history.
That’s not all, as Uhl set single-season
school records in runs batted in with 74,
total bases with 339, and slugging percentage with 1.085. Uhl also drew 33
walks, eight of which were intentional,
and scored 53 runs, which are second
and fifth all time, respectively. He did
all of this while hitting .415 and striking out only 21 times in 142 at-bats, an
impressive 6.76 strikeout percentage.
Fellow senior Austin Mock (exercise science) went so far as to call Uhl’s
season not only one of the best in IUP
history, but one of the best in college
1
baseball history.
“He rewrote many career and season
records during his senior campaign, and
it was really something to watch,” he
said. “I was fortunate enough
to hit in front of him and jog
around the bases on a lot of
his 29 home runs.”
Mock
himself
passed Stryker in the
record books as
well, as he
hit 16
home
runs
on
the
year. The “Bash
Bros,” which is the
nickname Mock says Uhl
came up with for the duo, hit
45 combined home runs, 10
more than any other tandem
in Division II.
“Austin and I do just about
everything together,” Uhl said.
“He’s my brother, and for it all to
happen our senior year makes it
that much better.”
Looking at Uhl’s senior
season at-large, it is all the
more impressive considering his three prior seasons wearing
crimson, as he hit
13 home runs
and 74 RBIs
combined.
U h l
e x plained what
fueled his
breakout
year.
“I took
a new
approach at
the plate and
just tried
to hit the ball
hard,” he
said. “I’ve had
a lot of
help in getting
to where
I am. There are
things
I’ve learned from
so
many different
people who have
been around the game for
years.”
Indeed,
the
6-foot-6
smasher has come a long way
from hitting Wiffle balls in the
backyard with his mother. His breakout year has not gone unrecognized
either, as Uhl was named National
Collegiate Baseball Writers
Association NCAA Division II National Hitter of
the Week twice and
PSAC West Hitter of
the Week twice, and he
also made All-PSAC
first team. With
regional and national awards to
be announced
in the coming
weeks,
Uhl
might be receiving more
recognition.
So all this begs a question:
Did Uhl record the greatest offensive season in IUP history?
While an argument can be made,
Uhl himself denied such a label, as he
had another name in mind.
“No, I would have to say Paul Bingham had the best offensive performance
in IUP history,” he said. “He batted
around .463 with 12 triples, 13 doubles
and 45 stolen bases in one year.
“Those 12 triples is a record that, in
my opinion, will never be touched.”
Bingham’s superb Crimson Hawks
May 1, 2015
career, which included him setting multiple school records and being named
an All-American his senior year, earned
him a spot in an MLB farm system
when the San Diego Padres selected him
in the 20th round of the 2010 MLB
Amateur Draft.
After his dominating senior season
and an overall quality career, perhaps
Uhl is destined for a similar fate.
“There have been a few scouts at the
games, but only time will tell,” Uhl said.
If that happened, Uhl would join
Bingham and six others as the only IUP
players to ever be drafted.
It would be yet another honor to add
to a long list.
Despite having such a prestigious
season, Uhl said that all of the records
and honors do not soften the blow of
missing the PSAC Tournament this
season.
IUP fell just a few games shy of the
final playoff berth in the PSAC West,
finishing with a 22-21-1 record.
“Making the playoffs has been the
goal year in and year out, and to not
make it my senior year was heartbreaking,” he said.
As disappointed as Uhl is, he expressed nothing but positive feelings
about his time at IUP.
“Playing baseball here at IUP is a
privilege and an honor,” he said.
This is not surprising to Mock, who
played beside Uhl for four years.
“He was a great guy in the
dugout as a teammate,” he
said. “He always stayed
positive and always
had one thing on his
mind: winning.
“That was his
goal
for the whole
year,
and he was
going
to
the plate
trying to make the
team
better. And for a
lot
of his at-bats, he made
the team better.”
With his collegiate career now over, Uhl encouraged the team’s underclassmen
to appreciate the time they have on
Owen J. Dougherty Field.
“If I could give words of advice to
my younger teammates, it would be to
never take putting that IUP jersey on
for granted,” Uhl said.

Crimson Hawks top
Kutztown in playoffs
By CASSIE PUTT
Staff Writer
[email protected]
The Indiana University of Pennsylvania softball team defeated Kutztown
University Thursday, rebounding from
an opening-game loss in the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Championships.
In a prior three-day span of three
doubleheaders,
the
Crimson
Hawks
split
SOFTBALL
wins with Mercyhurst
University and Gannon University, while
dominating Edinboro
University to end the
regular spring season.
That streak helped the women
clinch the fourth seed in the PSAC
Championships in Quakertown.
“We are super excited to be in the
conference tourney this year,” said
head coach Bill Graham. “These kids
have worked so hard battling the opponents and Mother Nature all year.
“We figured it would take six wins
to get it, and that’s exactly what we
got,” he said.
Indiana University of Pennsylvania
went out with a bang during the final
game against Edinboro, winning 4-3
and 16-7 with 26 total hits Tuesday.
The highlight was the five-inning
triumph in Game 2. IUP tallied 19
hits, including home runs by Allison
Viguers (junior, marketing) and Lauren Hogue (junior, psychology).
However, the game did not start as
well as it ended. The Fighting Scots
opened with five runs at the top of the
first inning. But in the bottom, the
Hawks swung back with five sturdy
runs and a homer by Hogue, leaving
IUP with a 6-5 lead.
“The fact that Edinboro scored five
runs in the first inning really put us in
attack mode,” Viguers said.
IUP’s momentum continued as
Hogue and Meghan Carney (senior,
early childhood and special education)
hit back-to-back doubles attributing to
four runs in the second. In the third,
Hogue doubled to left center, and
Carney hit a fly to left center. Viguers knocked one over the fence in the
fourth, finalizing the Hawks’ 16 runs.
“I could not wipe the smile off my
face,” Viguers said. “I could not be
happier to help my team in any way
possible.”
Edinboro tried to gain a decent
comeback in the fifth, but only managed to tally two more runs.
By the fourth inning in the next
game, the Hawks had a 4-2 lead until
Edinboro scored in the seventh to end
the competition with a 4-3 score.
In Monday’s competition against
Gannon, IUP split the game with a 3-4
loss and 6-4 victory.
Rachel Francis (junior, psychology)
decorated Game 2 with two over-thefence hits and a game-tying solo shot.
By the bottom of the third, the
score read 4-1 in Gannon’s favor. But
Francis smashed a homer to center,
scoring Viguers in the fourth and another to right center in the sixth.
Two more runs were added in the
sixth by Carney and Taylor Mercurio
(freshman, nursing) as IUP won, 6-4.
The opening game resulted in extra
innings after Gannon scored three runs
by the fifth and IUP scored three by
the sixth. The Lakers pulled through
with back-to-back hits, winning 4-3.
IUP proved control in the opening
game against Mercyhurst Sunday, with
five unanswered runs, tallying a 5-1
win but losing 8-9 in the second.
Although the Lakers took the lead
in the first inning, the Hawks retaliated
with three in the second.
Hannah Mercer (sophomore, marketing) and Megan Gould (sophomore, early childhood and special education) each drove in runs as Mercurio
took home plate on a wild pitch.
On a triple to right center, Mercer
recorded another run in the fourth inning. IUP’s fifth run came off an RBI
from Stefanie McCoy (senior, exercise
science) in the sixth.
In Game 2, Mercyhurst played full
throttle with six quick runs by the second inning.
The Crimson Hawks, however,
scored four runs in the bottom off runscoring hits from Amy Fairman (senior,
sports administration) and Viguers.
McCoy blasted a solo homer in the
fourth.
After Mercurio stole third base and
tied the game for extra innings, Mercyhurst took a 9-8 lead to wrap up the
game.

IUP preps for Regionals as No. 1-ranked team
By JAKE ENDERS

[email protected]
The Indiana University of Pennsylvania golf team finished in second place
at the 52nd annual Cecil C. Spadafora
Invitational, April 20.
The tournament, played Sunday and
Monday at the Indiana Country Club,
featured teams from 13 colleges and a
total field of 73 competitors.
In individual action, Michael Hoare
(freshman, marketing) and Max Kirsch
(sophomore,
undeclared
business)
finGOLF
ished tied for second
to lead the Crimson
Hawks, both shooting
a 1-under-par score of
141.
Kirsch led the field after the first
round with a 3-under 68; however, he
couldn’t hold the lead.
Both he and Hoare finished only
one stroke behind Conor Gilbert of
Millersville University, the individual
tournament champion.
However, Hoare and Kirsch were
only two of five IUP golfers to finish
in the top 25 on the individual leaderboard. Jack Owen (senior, sport admin-
istration) tied for 13th with a 3-over
145, while Brett Geiser (junior, management) and Josh Bartley (freshman,
business management) both tied for
25th with 6-over 148s.
In team action, IUP’s 581 score was
good for a second place finish, four
strokes behind champion Allegheny
College.
California University of Pennsylvania finished third, while Round 1 leader
West Liberty University and Millersville rounded out the top five team finishers on the day.
Also competing in the tournament
were fellow Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference members West Chester University (seventh place), Clarion
University (ninth) and the University
of Pittsburgh at Johnstown (13th).
IUP’s second place finish is its best
of the 2015 season thus far.
Its previous high was third place,
a feat it accomplished twice – in the
NCAA Division II Regional Preview as
well as the St. James Plantation Invitational.
The Crimson Hawks now prepare
for the NCAA Division II Atlantic/East
Regional, scheduled to be held May
4 to May 6 at the Longaberger Golf
Course in Nashport, Ohio.
IUP won the Regional Tournament
in 2014 and advanced all the way to
the NCAA Division II Championships,
where they tied for seventh.
After also winning Regionals in
2013, the Crimson Hawks are favored
to repeat yet again as they sit at No. 1 in
the NCAA’s Atlantic rankings.
IUP is led by Kenneth Sames (junior, business), who didn’t participate
in the Spadafora Invitational.
Sames, a two-time Second Team
All-PSAC selection, has the best stroke
average on the team with a 74.5, while
Kirsch ranks second with a 76.4 average.
The current crop of IUP duffers has
a long tradition of excellence behind
them, as the Crimson Hawks golf team
has qualified for the National Championships on 32 separate occasions, the
third best total among all NCAA Division II schools in the country.
Despite that impressive resume, IUP
has never managed to bring home a national title.
If the season thus far has been any
indication, the 2015 team has as good
a chance as any before it to finally accomplish that goal.

IUP football kicks off its 2015 season Sept. 12. (Nick Dampman/ The Penn)
Crimson Hawks begin to
lay foundation for summer
By JOSH HILL
Staff Writer
[email protected]
It was back in November when Indiana University of Pennsylvania head
football coach Curt Cignetti sat in his
office surrounded by students and reporters alike.
The young Crimson Hawks had just
concluded their season against the West
Chester Golden Rams on Senior Day.
“There’s an old motFOOTBALL to in coaching: For every freshman you start,
you’re going to lose a
game,” Cignetti said
following that contest.
The Crimson Hawks
ended up starting 10 freshman last year.
Players who would return, including
Eddie Stockett (freshman, business),
were already expressing their excitement
for the upcoming season. And after a
cold and tumultuous winter, the Crimson Hawks were finally able to move
their workouts outside to the Miller
Stadium turf.
Many players stood out and got opportunities in what could only be called
an injury-riddled spring. Walt Pegues
(freshman, communications media),
Sean McVay (junior, management),
Kevin Clarke (junior, kinesiology health
& sport science), Miles Williamson
(freshman, business) and Steve Franco
(junior, marketing) all missed time during spring ball because of surgeries.
Despite the injuries, Cignetti noted
multiple players that had breakout
spring sessions. Among those suitors
were running backs Luigi Lista-Brinza
(freshman, kinesiology health & sport
science) and Chris Temple (freshman,
accounting). Kidus Woldeyes (freshman, computer science) also excelled on
offense, spending the majority of spring
as the only active center on the roster.
“This was the first opportunity for a
lot of the freshman who played last year
to go through spring ball,” Cignetti said.
Many of those youngsters used the
spring to adjust to some tweaks the
Crimson Hawks have installed as part
of their revamped pistol offense.
“There are some new elements [to
the offense],” Cignetti said. “But there is
new elements to the offense every year.”
On the defensive side of the ball,
IUP will return a couple of players who
have plenty of experience. Safety Eric
Williams (senior, criminology) along
with linebacker Dorian Lane (senior, accounting) look to be part of a unit that
seems to be getting into their groove
very early.
“Some of the injuries on offense
maybe hurt the progress a little bit, but
still gave other young players an opportunity to prove themselves,” Cignetti
said. “I think, without question, the defense is ahead of the offense right now.”
Frustration seemed to follow the
Crimson Hawks throughout their 6-5
campaign, but the team was moving in
the right direction. You could see the
foundation being laid. Fast forward past
National Signing Day and a couple of
intersquad scrimmages, and IUP finds
itself in a very similar position as before.
Another strong recruiting class
should allow the Crimson Hawks to
spring into summer with a sense of great
enthusiasm and energy.
“The message is we have to have a
great summer,” Cignetti said. “Guys
have to come back in great shape and
ready to go for fall camp.”
It will be critical for the Crimson
Hawks to put in the necessary work
during the dog days of summer. The results of that work will come to fruition
during fall camp and throughout the
entire season.
The Crimson Hawks will tentatively
report for camp Aug. 12. They will open
up the 2015 regular season at home
against Kutztown University Sept. 12.

MARCH OF THE
By JAKE ENDERS
Staff Writer
[email protected]
Let’s make one thing absolutely clear.
These Pittsburgh Penguins were
doomed.
Any team playing without three of
its four best defensemen – each one of
them an outstanding passer in a system
based on puck possession – shouldn’t be
expected to advance in the Stanley Cup
playoffs. Especially when its foe is the
very best team in the NHL.
The Penguins threatened at times
and played well considering all the injuries, but couldn’t deliver a knockout
punch and fell to the Rangers in five
games.
Not everything taken from the Eastern Conference quarterfinals should be
seen as a negative. Marc-Andre Fleury
removed any lingering doubts about his
play and re-established himself as a bigtime goaltender.
The kind that can lead a team to the
Stanley Cup if given a strong supporting cast.
Sadly, though, he didn’t have one
against the Rangers.
The news came out after the series
had ended that Evgeni Malkin, Patric
Hornqvist and David Perron all battled
through injury to play.
Hornqvist certainly didn’t look tentative, crashing the net with his usual
gusto and generally wreaking havoc all
over the ice.
Malkin and Perron, though, were
largely invisible and contributed only
a single point (an assist by Perron) between them.
What they would have been able to
do if healthy, we’ll never know. But injuries are a part of hockey, and the Penguins’ inability to overcome them – a
difficult task, to be sure – meant that the
franchise was bumped from the playoffs
in the opening round for the first time
since 2011.
With the book closed on the 201415 season, the eyes of Penguins’ fans
look to the future.
Many fans will call for a complete
overhaul, starting at the top with General Manager Jim Rutherford and head
coach Mike Johnston and continuing
through until most of the roster is gutted.
It’s a knee-jerk reaction, and understandable, but also not the smart move.
Pittsburgh certainly has the foundation
of a championship team with a core of
Crosby, Malkin, Kris Letang and Fleury
along with a bevy of talented, cheap,
young defensemen.
That’s a fine start, but steps must be
made this summer to get the Penguins
back into the ranks of the elite.
They simply must get younger and
faster, especially at winger, if they are to
compete in the modern NHL.
Crosby and Malkin spent most of
the year playing with players that, frankly, don’t have the raw talent to succeed
alongside two of the best centers in the
world.
A stronger group of role players is essential. Shedding Chris Kunitz and Rob
Scuderi and their exorbitant salary-cap
hits is the first step.
If trades can be worked out, great.
If not, a buyout of one or both
makes sense.
Next year’s Penguins should look different than the product usually trotted
out onto the CONSOL Energy Center.
If this season taught us anything, it’s
that youth and speed is the way of the
new NHL.
Unless Pittsburgh follows that model, don’t expect results that differ from
those of the past few seasons.
