New Growth Arts Review receives 76 percent of proposed budget
By MOLLY VANWOERT
Lead News Writer
[email protected]
Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s
literary and art magazine New Growth
Arts Review received 76 percent of their
proposed budget at Thursday’s Co-op
Finance Committee Meeting.
The original budget of $4,127 was
denied March 14 on the grounds that
the board had never seen the magazine
and felt that an online medium would
help to reduce printing costs.
After members of the magazine
stated their case, the board voted unanimously to award NGAR a $3,127 budget for next year.
“We’ll certainly make do,” said Jarret Wasko (senior, studio art), NGAR’s
art editor. “From here we’ll have to do
some significant planning at the end
of the year to ensure continuity of the
publication, especially with the change
in format. We’ll need to make a concrete
decision about what will suffer, whether
it’s the page number or switching to a
publication that people have to pay for.”
Before awarding the budget, the board
urged NGAR staff to consider changing
the release date of the magazine.
“We would request that you print
the magazine earlier in the semester,” Finance Chair Matt Jones (senior, finance
and legal studies) said.
When a magazine is released right
around finals week, the potential readership decreases substantially, he said.
“I do not see an issue at all with moving up the publication date if that is the
main concern here,” said Kathleen Sallada (senior, English), NGAR’s editor in
chief. “We do get more submissions in
the spring, but if we were to publicize
the change in release date, I believe that
it would work.”
Money awarded to NGAR will also
be put toward increased advertising,
which will hopefully lead to increased
campus involvement, she said.
“I was involved in IUP Day this year,”
Sallada said, “and because we did not
have money for advertising, I paid for
the advertising for IUP Day out of my
pocket. I didn’t mind, but it is not something that I want for next year’s staff.”
Ethan Wang (senior, accounting)
brought up the possibility of moving to
an online publication.
Although NGAR is not looking to
become an all-online publication, it is
looking for ways to effectively create an
online presence, according to Dr. Chauna Craig, NGAR adviser and English
professor.
“We have a few options when it
comes to an online publication,” she
said. “One of them is to be on a website affiliated with IUP. The problem
with that, as The HawkEye – the student organization that does investigative
reporting – has found, is that an IUP
website is representative of IUP.”
NGAR tries not to censor the work
that is submitted and does not want to
run the risk of having to turn down content that may be slightly explicit because
of the public relations angle that comes
with an IUP website, Craig said.
Wang suggested that, instead of putting NGAR on a blog or IUP site, the
organization print fewer copies, scan
them and put them online in a full-color PDF with an available subscription.
“Another use for the subscription
would be to quantify your reader base,”
he said. “If you have a subscription option, even when your copies are gone,
you could continue quantifying readership.”
Wang’s suggestion was recognized by
Craig as one of the most useful suggestions presented when it comes to moving NGAR online.
“I’m trying as best as I know how to
reach out to the IUP community,” Sallada said. “I’m more than willing to accept suggestions on how to branch out
and to market the magazine to majors
outside of art and English.”
NGAR’s launch party, including the
magazine release, opening reception and
literary performances, will be held in the
Kipp Annex Gallery at 5 p.m. May 1.
The gallery will be open from May 1-10.
Other organizations appealing budget cuts at Thursday’s meeting were the
Habitat for Humanity, Multicultural
Student Recruitment Team and the Student Philanthropy Council.
Habitat for Humanity was awarded
their $395 budget request with the stipulation of changing their mission statement to remove all religious affiliation.
The $800 budget for MSRT was
denied in a 2-4 vote, and the $19,570
budget for the Student Philanthropy
Council was denied in a 5-0 vote.
life,” King said. “I knew I wanted to be
the No. 1 tennis player in the world.”
She said she remembers day dreaming at the Long Beach Tennis Club, at
age 12, where she started to think about
everybody there wearing white shoes,
white socks and white uniforms.
“I asked myself, ‘Where is everyone
else?’” King said.
King said that’s when she stopped
thinking about just the sport and started
thinking about the world.
“I love playing tennis, and I love hitting the ball,” King said. “But I wanted
to make a difference off the court, and I
made that decision really early.”
King has won 39 Grand Slam titles,
but she said that the match that defines
her career is the 1973 match – known as
the “Battle of the Sexes” – against former World No. 1-tennis player Bobby
Riggs.
King said she knew she would either
be known as the girl who won or lost to
that guy.
“It’s absolutely true,” King said. “Every single day of my life since that match,
someone has asked me about that match.”
When King was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2009, the
nation’s highest civilian honor, President
Barack Obama told her that watching
the “Battle of the Sexes” at the age of 12
later changed his idea of how he would
raise his two daughters.
The match took place during the
time when Title IX was introduced to
prohibit discrimination on the basis of
gender in educational programs and activities that receive federal funding such
as school athletic programs, King said.
“The reason I wanted to beat Riggs
was because of Title IX,” King said. “I
wanted social change, and I knew it
would define me.”
After she stopped competing, she
founded the Women’s Sports Foundation where she said she “wanted any girl
to be able to compete and make a living.” She also co-founded World TeamTennis, the co-ed professional league.
“We’re in 66 countries,” King said.
“We’re in every part of the world, and
we have equal prize money now.”
King said it’s so important for men
and women to champion each other.
She said she loves seeing women athletes like Serena Williams, who won her
seventh Sony Open title last Saturday,
succeed in their careers.
“That was great; she has the most
beautiful serve,” King said. “Her serve
is, by far, one of the best technical serves
in the game, just gorgeous. It’s like ballet, just beautiful.”
King said it’s now up to the young
people of this generation to start thinking
about how they want to shape the future.
“So, it’s up to you guys,” King said.
“You really have to start to think about
how do I want to shape this world that I
live in for myself, for my family, for my
children. How do you want the world to
look?”
When watching other athletes compete, King said she roots for players because of the person they are rather than
for how well they play.
“I just sit back and watch,” she said.
“Do they want to make a difference and
be relevant? That’s what I look for.
“You never know how someone is
going to touch your life,” she said. “Or
how you are going to touch theirs.”

Billie Jean King: ‘I wanted to make a difference off the court’

Billie Jean King, a former World No.
1 professional tennis player and advocate for women’s rights, said Monday
night in Fisher Auditorium that her
message is and always has been for gender equality for men and women.
“My messages are for both genders,
even though people always think of me as
women’s rights,” King said. “It’s really about
fighting for equal rights and opportunities
for boys and girls, men and women.”
King spoke as part of Indiana University of Pennsylvania’s “Ideas and Issues”
series presented by the Lively Arts, where
she shared her personal story about her
life on and off the tennis court.
King said she can remember the first
time she stepped foot on a tennis court
when she was in fifth grade.
“I asked, ‘What do you do? How do
you play tennis?’ and I was told you get
to run, jump and hit a ball,” King said.
Those are her three favorite aspects of
sports, she said.

SGA hosts Crimson Connect
workshops for student organizations
By CAITLIN BIRCH
Reporter
[email protected]
The Student Government Association has planned upcoming workshops
for Crimson Connect, a software designed to allow campus organizations
to post information and events for its
members.
The workshops began Wednesday
and Thursday and will continue April
9, 10 and 17, according to the Crimson
Connect training website.
If organizations do not sign up, they
will not receive access to their Crimson
Connect page, according to an email
sent to student organizations.
“It is extremely important that
organizations register for this tool so
they not only receive the benefits that
it can provide their organization,” vice
president Zachery Chandler (junior,
business education) said, “but so they
can get used to it now before it becomes
the mandatory means of the registration
and recognition process for their organizations.”
Chandler said Crimson Connect allows organizations to communicate, interact, recruit and manage a variety of
aspects for their organizations.
I hope that Crimson Connect helps students
become involved and more students
join organizations on campus.

SGA president
According to SGA President Marissa
Olean (junior, criminology), Crimson
Connect will be a positive outcome for
everyone once they learn how to use the
software.
“I hope that Crimson Connect helps
students become involved and more
students join organizations on campus,”
Olean said.
In other business, SGA will attend
the Board of Student Government 2014
Leadership Conference in Harrisburg
Saturday.
All 14 SGAs from each state school
in Pennsylvania are invited to attend
the conference hosted by the Pennsylvania State System of Higher Education,
but only 12 universities attended last
year.
Some universities don’t send their
student government because of cost or
lack of interest, according to Olean.

POLICE BLOTTER
DRUG VIOLATIONS
• William Johnson, 29, of Arnold, and Ronae Allen, 33, of Arnold, have
been charged for separate offenses following a traffic stop by Indiana Borough
Police on the on-ramp to U.S. Route 119 South Tuesday. According to the
police report, Johnson, the driver, was pulled over for traffic violations and
discovered to have in his possession a large amount of heroin that he attempted
to ingest while fighting with officers on the roadway. Assisted by Pennsylvania State Police, the officers took Johnson into custody using a taser, and the
heroin was recovered with money. He has been charged with intent to
deliver heroin, possession of heroin, possession of drug paraphernalia, disorderly conduct, tampering with evidence and resisting arrest. Ronae Allen,
borough police report, was determined to be wanted out of Michigan on a
drug-related charge and also on state parole out of Pennsylvania. He was
taken into custody, police say, and found to possess marijuana. Allen has
been charged with possession of marijuana and possession of drug
paraphernalia.
ALCOHOL VIOLATIONS
• Codi Lee Holstein, 22, has been charged for two counts of driving under the
influence, one for general impairment and one for high rate of alcohol, along
with driving the wrong way and careless driving after he was arrested on School
Street March 2 by university police, according to a report.
• Vincent Maur Cottman, 20, was charged for DUI: minor, driving while
suspended, underage drinking, windshield obstruction and minor prohibited
operation with alcohol after he was arrested by university police for operating a vehicle while under the influence following a traffic stop Feb. 15 on 201
Pratt Drive for snow covering the windshield and glass, according to an April 2
university police report.
conference every year.
Olean said that the members who
choose to attend will take part in workshops that interest them.
“Last year, there was a workshop
about leadership,” Olean said. “Others included how to settle arguments
within your organization and how
to have fun with your organization
without having to be totally serious
about it.”
Olean told SGA members that
it’s a great learning opportunity and
that members can learn something
to bring back to SGA and apply to
other organizations they are involved
in.
This is the first time PASSHE has
held the event in Harrisburg because
no university volunteered to host it this
year, Olean said.
“It serves as a centralized location for
all state universities,” she said.

Three Republicans
earn PA-9 ballot spot
By JAKE WILLIAMS
Columnist
[email protected]
Rep. Bill Shuster, a Republican who
represents the 9th Congressional District in the United States Congress, will
face two GOP challengers on the May
20 primary ballot.
The 9th Congressional District
is comprised of areas of Indiana County, including the campus of Indiana
University of Pennsylvania, Bedford
County, Blair County, Fayette County, Franklin County, Fulton County,
Cambria County, Greene County,
Huntingdon County, Somerset County,
Washington County and Westmoreland
County.
Shuster, who has been in office since
2001 when he took over the seat from
his father, Bud Shuster, will be challenged by Art Halvorson and Travis
Schooley on the May primary ballot.
Halvorson, a businessman and retired Coast Guard captain, told PoliticsPA in an exclusive interview after
petition signatures were filed that the
campaign was going well, something
indicated by how Shuster has attacked
him in advertisements and other statements.
“The easiest way to tell is by watching my opponent, see what he’s doing,”
Halvorson said. “The harder he works,
the more successful I know I’m being.”
In a late March ad, the Shuster campaign criticized Halvorson for going
on record as being against government
subsidies. The campaign alleged in the
ad that Halvorson had received government subsidies for farms that he owns
in Iowa.
The advertisement garnered enough
attention to cause FactCheck.org, a
project of the Annenberg Public Policy
Center, to weigh in on the issue.
FactCheck reported that Halvorson
did not directly accept the subsidies,
which in fact went to the farmer who
works on the land Halvorson owns.
However, indirectly, Halvorson could
have benefited from the subsidies due to
the increased value of the land because
of them.
Halvorson also had the ability to
cancel the subsidies but did not do so.
In response to Shuster’s attacks,
Halvorson accused the representative of
running a personal smear campaign.
“This third party investigation clearly
shows that he misrepresented the facts
by misconstruing documents and citing
evidence out of context, a fact that has
troubling implications,” Halvorson told
PoliticsPA. “Given the critical problems
facing our nation, Mr. Shuster should
stop these false attacks and focus on
the important issues facing the voters of
Pennsylvania’s 9th District.”
But Halvorson is not the only
challenger to Shuster; Schooley has
also qualified for a spot on the ballot.
Schooley unsuccessfully attempted to
run for the seat in 2012. This time,
though, Schooley told PoliticsPA in an
exclusive, he was ready to fight.
“I wasn’t fully committed in the
past,” Schooley said. “I’m convinced
something positive will come out of it
[this time].”
Schooley graduated from Shippensburg University in 2000 and has served
in the Army National Guard. The candidate has worked in local government
at the municipal level.
He serves on the executive
committee for the Franklin County
Republican Committee and remains a
member of Franklin County’s Young
Republicans.
At the backbone of the race, however, is an attempt by each Republican
vying for the seat to be seen as the most
conservative. The 9th District, according to the 2014 Cook Political Report,
the district is an R+14, meaning that
conservative candidates are strongly
favored.
As May approaches, all candidates
have said they are open to a debate.
Halvorson has accused Shuster’s campaign of trying to “run out the clock,”
though.
But the three Republicans attempting to keep the seat in GOP hands
are not the only ones gearing up for
a fight. According to Ballotpedia, Alanna Hartzok will be seeking the Democratic nomination for the seat in Congress.
Hartzok, a Democrat from Fayetteville, is a 65-year-old medical professional, according to Chambersburg’s
Public Opinion newspaper. She has said
that her voter registration has shifted
from Republican to Green to Democratic in various orders.
According to Pennsylvania’s voter
services portal online, Hartzok has
qualified for a spot on the ballot in
May.
With Hartzok running unopposed
for the Democratic nomination, she
will face the winner of the three-way
race between Shuster, Schooley and
Halvorson in the November general
election.

Second ‘Dash for Dallas’
5k Mud Run held
in memory of student
By CODY PATTISON
Reporter
[email protected]
The Sport Administration Club
will hold a 5,000-meter Mud
Run Saturday in memory of an
Indiana University of Pennsylvania student who died last year in a traffic accident.
The second “Dash for Dallas”
event will be held at 11 a.m. in Co-op
Park.
Participants must check in between
10 and 10:30 a.m.
“I think this event just shows that
college students can come together for
a good cause, and it will be an event
that will hopefully proceed our friend
Dallas Miller,” event organizer Madison Torok (senior, sports administration) said, “and it will help benefit
the memorial bench that we paid
half for in the first ‘Dash for Dallas’
5k run.”
This year’s run will pay off the other
half of the bench that was donated,
Torok said.
Miller, who was a member of the
Sport Administration Club, died in
February 2013 in a traffic accident.
“Dallas was a shot of energy,” Torok
said. “He brought life into every room,
and he always made you feel better.
He always gave his all into everything
he did and was just a help to everyone
and everything he aspired about in his
life.”
A third “Dash for Dallas” event
will be planned for next year, and proceeds will go toward a scholarship that
will help people who are looking into
the sports administration major, Torok
said.
Winners of the 5k run will receive
prizes.

Supreme Court was wrong to lift
aggregate limits on campaign contributions
By LOS ANGELES TIMES
MCT
The following editorial appeared in
the Los Angeles Times on Thursday,
April 3:
On Wednesday, conservatives on
the U.S. Supreme Court continued
their project of undermining reasonable
attempts by Congress to limit the corrupting influence of money in election
campaigns.
The same 5-4 majority that lifted
limits on corporate political spending
in the Citizens United decision struck
down long-standing limits on the total
amount a citizen can donate during an
election cycle.
As in Citizens United, the majority
held that the restrictions violated 1st
Amendment protections for political
speech.
This decision does not disturb limits on how much a donor can give to
a single candidate or committee (socalled base limits).
Even so, it will open the floodgates
for campaign donations by wealthy
individuals. Before Wednesday’s ruling,
a single donor was barred from giving
Opinion
more than $123,200 in total to federal
candidates and party and other political
committees.
Now a donor will be able to contribute the maximum to as many candidates and committees as he likes (the
ceiling for donations to a candidate is
$5,200).
That sort of largesse will not be
ignored. In an opinion signed by three
other justices, Chief Justice John G.
Roberts Jr. said that the aggregate limits
couldn’t be justified as an anticorruption measure.
Roberts also disputed the conclusion
of a lower court (and of Justice Stephen
G. Breyer in his dissent) that abolishing
aggregate limits would make it easier
for donors to circumvent the base limits
as well.
But the focus on circumvention
is too narrow. Even if a donor’s contributions are divvied up in a way
that respects the contribution limits for
each individual candidate, the overall
financial commitment to the party and
its candidates will leave both in the
donor’s debt.
The campaign reform group
Democracy 21 notes that after
Wednesday’s decision, a presidential
nominee could form a joint fundraising
committee and solicit a contribution of
as much as $1,199,600 from a single
donor for the election cycle.
Does anyone doubt that the person
who signed that check would expect
special consideration from the candidate who solicited it?
Roberts was untroubled by the idea
that mega-donors would receive special
treatment in exchange for their largesse.
The only corruption worth worrying about, he suggested, was quid pro
quo corruption, which he defined as the
“exchange of an official act for money.”
But, as Breyer noted in his dissent, “the anticorruption interest that
drives Congress to regulate campaign
contributions is a far broader, more
important interest ... . It is an interest in
maintaining the integrity of our public
governmental institutions.”
That integrity is impaired when
wealthy donors can purchase access to
the people’s representatives by writing
million-dollar checks.
The court was wrong to give its
blessing to such examples of “free
speech.”

Penn EDITORIAL
Distinguishing between
digital, print publications
The publication digitization scare might not be as serious of a problem as previous
media and print organizations, such as The New York Times, predicted. Instead of
an overall transition from one form to another exclusively, a digital/print compromise
may be in order with publications across the board.
For example, news magazine Newsweek, which ceased its print publication in
2013, announced in December that it would return to print in 2014 after 14 months
of being an exclusively online publication, according to a December NYT article.
In fact, in a NYT January news analysis article, it was suggested that print publications are settling into niches, some of which are finding much more success in
print than online.
“Publishers who turned out under-designed and under-edited books and magazines in the Internet age have learned the hard way that consumers expect excellence
in print,” said David Carr, NYT The Media Equation. “... As big, beautiful magazines like Vogue prove every month, print is not dead, it simply has some very specific
attributes that need to be leveraged. Good printed work includes a mix of elements in
which juxtaposition and tempo tell their own story, the kind of story best told with
ink and paper.”
This was seen at Indiana University of Pennsylvania Thursday at the Co-op
Finance Committee meeting as New Growth Arts Review, IUP’s literary magazine,
appealed their denied funding, as the board suggested that they become an online
publication. NGAR’s Editor-in-Chief Kathleen Sallada (senior, English) defended
the importance of the publication print presence similarly to Carr, saying that print
publications, especially those that are art heavy, are better suited in print despite
digital benefits.
The board did rule to fund NGAR, but with a compromised cut of $1,000. This
will cut the magazine’s presence on campus by possibly 100 copies or more with a
suggestion that they make up for the loss through added digitization and a suggested
donation. While adding the digital option can only help with distribution of NGAR
and other print publications, visually heavy publications are made for print, like
Newsweek discovered.
Let’s keep print alive where it needs to be – on paper.

University Museum
visits The Artists Hand
By ANDREW MILLIKEN
Staff Writer
[email protected]
Local coffee shop, venue and gallery
The Artists Hand will be displaying
works from the University Museum’s
permanent collection from Thursday,
April 3, to May 4.
The exhibit, titled “University Goes
Downtown,” will focus on pieces dealing with the Civil Rights Act of 1964
to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the
historic piece of legislation. Sandy Trimble, manager of The Artists Hand, explained the exhibit as a way
for the University Museum to gain exposure in the community.
“The IUP Museum has a permanent
collection, but a lot of it never gets out
of storage,” Trimble said.
“We thought it would be a good
idea to give the permanent collection a
chance to be seen,” she said.
Trimble said the exhibit was meant
to focus on female artists as well as
African-Americans, reflecting the current struggle for gender equality in
2014.
The work of one artist in particular,
Ben Shahn, occupies a majority of the
exhibit’s space.
Shahn was a Lithuanian-born artist
who worked in America from the early
1930s until his death in 1969.
He was heavily involved in the
American politics of his times, and
much of his art reflected his left-wing
beliefs.
Shahn’s career spanned an astonishing amount of history, from the
trial of Sacco and Vanzetti to the Great
Depression to World War II and beyond.
Some of his most striking pieces in
the exhibit are a trio of portraits.
The summer of 1964, known as
“Freedom Summer,” had civil rights
workers attempting to register as
many African-Americans as possible
to vote in Mississippi, a state that had
historically excluded this group from
voting.
Three of the workers were infamously
murdered during this campaign.
Shahn’s striking portraits render
the men’s features colorless, impairing
the viewer’s ability to make any judgments based upon the race of the subjects.
Shahn also includes spiritual text
with his visual work.
Shahn sometimes pairs Hebrew text
with his graphics to connect the struggle
of African-Americans in the middle of
the 20th century to Jewish Americans in
the 1960s.
Other artists featured in the exhibit include story-quilt artist Tina
Brewer, currently living and working in
Pittsburgh; painter Norma Morgan;
and folk artist Ruby C. Williams.
Brewer’s medium may be unfamiliar
and odd to some, but she said she hopes
her work conveys a sense of AfricanAmerican heritage through the story
quilt.
Brewer’s website says that she is “passionate about giving dignity to the human suffering of a stolen people.”
Brewer also hopes “to inspire research
and exploration for other people about
issues, for example, what it is to be a
woman, particularly an Africa-American woman.”
The mission of the University Museum is to bring the material history and
arts of the region together in an environment that encourages exploration,
dialogue and enjoyment, according to
the IUP website.
The University Museum provides
regular exhibits throughout the year
and smaller exhibits throughout the
campus and community with shortand long-term displays.

IUP Theater and Dance, Music
departments collaborate on folktales
By RACHEL CLIPPINGER
Staff Writer
[email protected]
“The Girl in White,” an Indiana
University of Pennsylvania music faculty and Dance Theater production,
will tell two Mexican folktales – one of
the same name – via a combination of
music and dance in Zink Dance Auditorium this weekend.
“The Girl in White,” the folklore,
tells a story of mid-1800s Mexico, director Kevin Eisensmith said.
In the tale, a young man named
Ambrosio is willing to give up everything in his life to pursue a beautiful
and mysterious woman in white – only
to realize that all is not what it seems.
Director of IUP Dance Theater Dr.
Holly Boda-Sutton said “Las Aparencia Enganan” was a folklore story originally set in “The Ages of Darkness,” at
a time that Mother Earth has no fire to
warm the people because a witch was
in possession of the fire.
The original tales tells of twins using their talents of music and dance
to convince the witch to share her fire,
transforming her into a beautiful princess.
However, this production will take a
modern spin on those two traditional
tales.
“Our version takes place in a modern-day office, where the environment
is sterile that doesn’t allow for any
creativity or individual passion in the
work,” Boda-Sutton said. “Two workers are chosen to convince the boss to
change the workplace into a more creative and passionate environment.”
Christina Kawata (freshman, psychology) will play multiple key roles
for both ballets in this production,
such as a town maiden in “The Girl in
White” and an office worker in “Aparencia Engana.”
“The performance of both of these
ballets has called for each of us to
connect with the dances personally,”
Kawata said. “It is more than just dancing a part; it is becoming the character
and discovering how and why each
movement is important for them.”
The dancers worked alongside the
composer through video chat and
personal interaction allowing for the
students to have a structured firsthand instruction of the vision for
this production, according to BodaSutton.
Eisensmith, who was responsible
for the overall music attributions, and
Boda-Sutton, who was responsible for
the creation and decision-making of
the movement and its theatrical elements, co-directed production featuring.
The musicians featured in this production are mainly faculty from the
music department, including Dr. Michael Kingan, Dr. Henry Wong Doe,
Dr. Jacob Ertl, student Richard Firestone (junior, music) and Eisensmith.
These co-directors also worked in
collaboration with Robert J. Bradshaw,
who wrote the music used to tell both
tales, since the proposal arose in fall of
2012.
“I am friends with the composer
who will be attending all of the performances and has seen earlier productions of ‘The Girl in White’ and
suggested this work as collaboration to
[Boda-Sutton],” Eisensmith said.
Boda-Sutton said the medium
of dance and music allows for an
easier understanding of the tales being
told.
“There is always a subtle human
connection that can be shared by all
when stories are unfolded with nonverbal communications,” Boda-Sutton
said. “We can all relate to the human
body as it expresses emotions and reacts to surrounding environment and
events.”
The production opens Friday, April
4, at 7 p.m. in the Zink Dance Auditorium. Tickets on sale at the door are
priced at $14, $12 discount for senior
citizens and groups of 15 or more and $9
for I-Card holder, students and children.

Redd’s Apple Ale
By BRANDON CLEMENS
Lead Wet Ink Writer
[email protected]
As Spring rounds the corner, it is
almost time for 21-and-overs to crack
open a nice refreshing beer and take a
break.
But what do you drink if you don’t
like beer?
One solution comes in the form of
Redd’s Apple Ale, which is reminiscent
of some of the much-loved alternatives
like Mike’s Hard Lemonade and Angry
Orchard hard cider.
Considering the Frequently Asked
Questions area of the Redd’s website,
there seems to be a common assumption that Redd’s is a hard cider, which
it isn’t.
Redd’s Apple Ale is – as its name suggests – an ale, meaning that it is brewed,
as opposed to the fermented applebased process used when making hard
ciders.
So that means that Redd’s Apple Ale
is considered a beer.
And much like your average beer,
Redd’s Apple Ale has 5 percent alcohol
content.
Unlike your average beer, though,
that 5 percent is almost indetectable by
the taste buds.
Both the Apple and Strawberry Ales
are smooth and without the bite of alcohol.
Also unlike your average beer, Redd’s
only has 165 calories per bottle to its
name.
But the true silver lining of a Redd’s
purchase is not the lack of bitterness or
the health factor.
It’s the crisp, flavorful taste.
The ale adds the sour edge of a
Granny Smith apple to the usual hoppiness of an ale.
While the beer taste is still present,
it becomes less pronounced as the palate picks up the malty sweetness of the
apple taste.
And that taste is more likely than
not the primary reason behind Holiday
Beverages Inc.’s decision to elect Redd’s
as the drink of choice for two of their
recent beer tastings, the second of which
will be held from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Saturday.
Brady Weaver, a Holiday Beverages employee, said the April 1 tasting,
which included the traditional Apple
Ale, the Strawberry Ale and the newly
introduced Hard Iced Tea, was a success
for the brand’s reputation.
“It went very well,” Weaver said.
“People seemed to enjoy each of them.”
While Redd’s Hard Iced Tea is
(arkasasonline.com)
currently only available in the Redd’s
variety packs, if it becomes popular
enough, it might get a solo release, giving Redd’s three varieties on the market.
For a relatively new brand, such a rapid increase in varieties in uncommon,
but Weaver said Tuesday’s response is a
strong indicator of buyer preference.
“It’s definitely a more popular choice
than a lot of the beers,” Weaver said.

‘Captain America’ sequel headed for year’s biggest opening
By RYAN FAUGHNDER
Los Angeles Times
MCT
A red-white-and-blue-clad superhero
will dominate the box office this weekend, with “Captain America: The Winter Soldier” poised to score the biggest
debut of 2014 thus far.
The latest effort from Disney’s Marvel Studios is likely to generate $90
million or more in ticket sales through
Sunday in the U.S. and Canada, according to people who have seen pre-release
audience surveys.
“The Winter Soldier,” the $170
million 3-D sequel to 2011’s “Captain America: The First Avenger,” has
all the makings of a successful
tentpole, including positive reviews
from most publications.
It should be the latest hit in a strong
run from the comic-book-branded
studio that made last year’s secondhighest-grossing film, “Iron Man 3,”
and 2012’s biggest box-office hit, “The
Avengers.”
The most recent Marvel Studios
offering, last year’s “Thor: The Dark
World,” launched with $86 million in
ticket sales in its opening weekend and
ended up with more than $200 million
domestically.
Chris Evans returns as Captain
America, also known as Steve Rogers,
who teams with fellow Avenger Black
Widow, played by Scarlett Johansson,
to battle a powerful new enemy.
Brothers Anthony and Joe Russo
directed “The Winter Soldier,” which
also stars Samuel L. Jackson and Robert
Redford.
The record for the year’s biggest bow
is currently held by Warner Bros. and
Village Roadshow Pictures for their
“The Lego Movie,” which hit theaters in
February and grossed $69 million in its
first weekend.
The well-received 3-D animated
comedy has gone on to pull in nearly
$250 million domestically.
“The Winter Soldier” could also
break the record for the biggest April
debut ever, not adjusting for inflation.
To do so, it would need to outperform 2011’s “Fast Five,” part of the
long-running “Fast and the Furious”
series, which had a first-weekend gross
of more than $86 million.
But it will certainly smash the
opening weekend of the first “Captain
America,” distributed by Paramount
Pictures in 2011.
The first “Captain America” took in
$65 million in its first three days and
went on to gross $177 million in its full
run in the U.S. and Canada.
“Winter Soldier” is already proving
to be a formidable draw overseas.
It took off in 32 markets last week
– including Britain, South Korea, Mexico, France, Italy, Germany, Spain and
Taiwan – to gross $75 million.
It will expand to more nations – including Russia, Australia and China –
this weekend.
No films will brave a wide release
against “Winter Soldier.”
The question is, will last week’s No. 1
movie, “Noah,” sink or swim?
The $130 million biblical saga could
gross about $20 million to $25 million
Friday through Sunday for a secondplace finish, after sailing away with $44
million last weekend.
The long-anticipated Old Testament
epic from Paramount Pictures and Regency Enterprises has built its domestic total to more than $50 million and
taken in another $50 million outside
the U.S.
The second week of “Noah” could
be bolstered by favorable reviews and
word-of-mouth interest.
Reactions from moviegoers have
been mixed, indicated by a grade of C
from the polling firm CinemaScore,
as the Scripture adaptation has drawn
strong but divided opinions from people of faith and religious leaders.
Project uses ‘Lost’ Dylan lyrics
By RANDY LEWIS
Los Angeles Times
MCT
A trove of two dozen unfinished Bob
Dylan songs written circa 1967 during
his “Basement Tapes” period are being completed by an all-star band assembled by producer T Bone Burnett
and including Elvis Costello, Marcus
Mumford and My Morning Jacket’s Jim
James for release as an album and Showtime special later this year.
“These are not B-level Dylan lyrics,” Burnett, 66, said Monday during a
break in filming and recording sessions
in Hollywood for the project titled
“Lost On the River: The New Basement
Tapes.” “They’re lyrics he just never got
around to finishing.”
Rounding out the band working on
the new material are Carolina Chocolate Drops singer Rhiannon Giddens
and Dawes lead guitarist and songwriter
Taylor Goldsmith.
Burnett and Costello spoke of trying to honor the spirit of the original
recordings that came to be known as
“The Basement Tapes” because they
were recorded by Dylan and the band
while they had holed up in a large house
in upstate New York known as Big Pink.
The recordings they made were never
intended to be released but became the
first widely circulated bootleg recordings
by a major rock artist, and ultimately
were released in official form by Dylan’s
label, Columbia Records, in 1975.
They reportedly wrote and recorded
at least 30 new songs, but Dylan had
written many more sets of lyrics that he
never set to music.
“The New Basement Tapes” project
aims to honor the freewheeling spirit
of the original sessions, even though,
Costello pointed out from the control
room of Capitol Records Studio A,
“This is the exact opposite of ‘The Basement Tapes’: We’re in the best recording
studio in the world, and we’re not in a
basement.”
Another difference is that this project
also is being documented by filmmaker
Sam Jones, for Showtime’s Sho: Close
Up documentary “Lost Songs: The
Basement Tapes Continued.”
Jones noted that no photographs apparently were taken during the original
Big Pink sessions although some film
footage is said to exist.
One intriguing facet of the current
project is the collaboration among the
participants.
Each has come up with his or her
own music for many of the lyrics, resulting in multiple versions of the same
songs and allowing a perspective on the
ways different artists respond to Dylan’s
lyrics.
Each artist acts as producer during
the recording of his or her song, and all
provide whatever instrumental support
the others require.
During the first week of recording,
Burnett said they’d laid down nearly 48
tracks and expect to have more than 50
to draw from by the time recording sessions wrap up this week.
Among the songs are the title track,
“Florida Key,” “Card Shark” and
“Hi-De-Ho.”
“It runs the gamut from everybody
having a blast in the studio to being really serious about doing things right,”
Giddens said.
It hasn’t been decided how many of
the tracks ultimately will be released.
Dylan’s sole involvement in the project,
beyond providing the lyrics, appears to
be giving it his blessing.
A spokesman for Dylan said he’s offered no explanation of why he decided
to offer the unfinished songs to Burnett
to complete.

‘Roots and Wings’ opens
By RENEÉ WILLIAMSON
Reporter
[email protected]
Floral and tropical bird compositions
will provide a boost of spring spirit for
campus students as “Roots and Wings”
art exhibit opens Saturday at the University Museum.
The exhibit features the art of Maura
Koehler Keeney, a fine arts professor,
and David Tomb, an artist from California, and delves into nature’s flora and
fauna.
Keeny contributes oil paintings on
stretched canvas that expose the details
of plant life.
For the majority of her work, Keeney
snaps pictures of nature and adds her
own style in the painting process. Her
paintings of roots started out with layers
of colored pencil.
Wanting more bold color, she
switched to oils and found satisfying results, Keeney said.
Tomb started out drawing portraits
and then switched to wings in 2005.
Though
he
studies
many
different regions for birds, the
majority of them originate from Mexico
and the Philippines.
He said he often takes trips to tropical locations to examine native birds.
During these trips, he researches to
advance his art.
One aspect that makes Tomb’s work
stand out is his heavy use of collaging.
Tomb uses paint and pieces of paper to
create intricate and unique compositions. He refers to collaging as “putting a
puzzle together.”
“Roots and Wings” has an eclectic as
well as an informative element.
At this exhibit, viewers will be able
to learn about conservation projects
that Tomb is involved with. Some of the
birds seen in the exhibit are close to extinction, according to Tomb.
He presents the endangered bird creations to advocate the urgency of their
critical situation.
For a more personal take on the pieces, each of the artists will hold a walkthrough. Tomb’s walk-through will be
Saturday from 4-5 p.m. Keeney’s walkthrough will be April 23 from 5-6 p.m.
The opening reception for this exhibit will be held at the University Museum
Saturday from 6-8:30 p.m.

David Letterman to retire
from ‘Late Show’ in 2015
By MEREDITH BLAKE
Los Angeles Times
MCT
Get ready for another late-night
shake-up. David Letterman is preparing
to retire from “The Late Show” in 2015,
the comedian announced Thursday.
The host, who turns 67 this month,
plans to say good-night to his hosting
duties once his current contract expires
next year.
The news, which first leaked via Twitter, was later confirmed by Tom Keaney,
a spokesman for Letterman’s production
company, Worldwide Pants.
Before a “Late Show” audience at
the Ed Sullivan Theater in Manhattan,
Letterman revealed how he had called
CBS Chief Executive Les Moonves to
say he would be retiring.
“I just want to reiterate my thanks for
the support from the network, all of the
people who have worked here, all of the
people in the theater, all the people on
the staff, everybody at home, thank you
very much,” Letterman said.
“What this means now is that Paul
and I can be married,” Letterman joked.
Paul Shaffer is the “Late Show” band
leader.
Moonves also released a statement,
calling Letterman’s decision “poignant.”
“There is only one David Letterman.
His greatness will always be remembered
here, and he will certainly sit among the
pantheon of this business,” he said.
CBS executives have publicly expressed support for Letterman, insisting
that the funny man would retire on his

own terms and not be edged out like his
chief rival, Jay Leno, at NBC.
Speculation about his future at “The
Late Show” was briefly quelled late last
year when CBS extended his contract to
2014.
But given the recent turnover at “The
Tonight Show” and Letterman’s age (he
is three years older than Leno), speculation about Letterman’s plans has naturally resurfaced.
His departure from CBS brings an
end to a three-decade career in television that began in 1980 with the shortlived morning program “The David Letterman Show,” which was canceled after
a few months on NBC.
The sardonic comedian found his
calling in late-night television, launching “Late Night” on NBC in 1982,
where he quickly established himself
with signature bits “Stupid Human
Tricks” and the Top 10 List.
After losing a contentious and highly
publicized battle with Leno to inherit
“Tonight” following Johnny Carson’s
retirement in 1992, Letterman decamped to CBS.
“The Late Show” premiered in 1993
and at first easily bested Leno’s “Tonight
Show” in the ratings. While Leno gradually gained the edge in overall viewership, Letterman has enjoyed greater
acclaim from critics and his fellow comedians, earning a Peabody in 1992
and a Kennedy Center Honors in 2012,
as well as numerous Emmys.

IUP bounces back from tough four-loss series
with two-game sweep of Mercyhurst University
By KYLE KONDOR
Reporter
[email protected]
Last season, Jon O’Neill (junior,
criminology) was buried on the bench
beneath a team of talented baseball players at Seton Hill University.
He earned just three starts as a
sophomore
for
the Griffins, who
BASEBALL were then a part of
the West Virginia
Intercollegiate
Athletic Conference.
Seton Hill has
since joined the
Pennsylvania State
Athletic Conference
Western Division and is in first place
with a 9-1 in conference record.
O’Neill is now an everyday starter
at catcher, but not for the Griffins.
He ditched the burgundy and gold
and transferred to Indiana University
Pennsylvania this year only to suffer
a series sweep by the Griffins nearly a
week ago.
O’Neill started in all four of the
Crimson Hawks’ games against
Seton Hill, only reaching base in
two of his 11 at-bats.
He heard a lot of “chirping” from his
ex-teammates, and he and his new team’s
poor play just added fuel to their fire.
“It would’ve felt good to take a couple
from them after the whole leaving situation, but what happened, happened,”
said O’Neill, whose .261 batting average
ranks fourth-best amongst IUP hitters
this season.
“We’ll see them again.”
IUP isn’t scheduled to play Seton
Hill anymore. Therefore, if the Crimson
Hawks were to face the Griffins again,
they’d have to finish in the top half
of the PSAC West standings to make
the conference tournament that’s set to
begin April 30.
On Tuesday, the day after they played
the second half of the four-game beating,
IUP traveled 150 miles to Erie to face
conference rival Mercyhurst University
in hopes of crawling back into playoff
position.
The Crimson Hawks swept the
Lakers, defeating them by scores of 8-6
and 5-4 in the afternoon doubleheader.
“It was a perfect script to coming
away from that four-game losing streak
against Seton Hill,” head coach Jeff
Ditch said. “We dug ourselves a little bit
Catcher Jon O’Neill
(Courtesy of IUP Sports Information)
of a hole, had a chance to fix that, and
we did.”
In college athletics, it’s usually senior
players that give their team the best
chance at winning, but Ditch credited
his underclassmen.
Pitchers Zach Chinchilla (freshman,
athletic training), Zach DeTillio (sophomore, sports medicine) and Kyle Zaorski
(junior, finance) were praised for their
role this season and in the bounce-back
wins against Mercyhurst.
Chinchilla has pitched in 15 innings
this season, allowing just two earned
runs in eight appearances.
He leads the Crimson Hawks with a
1.20 ERA.
DeTillio ranks second on the team
with a 2.05 ERA this year, and he also
leads the team in wins with three thus
far.
Zaorski has pitched the most innings
on the team during their 2014 campaign, and he also has the most strikeouts by a large margin with 22.
He made his first relief appearance of
the season in IUP’s second game against
Mercyhurst.
He and DeTillio relieved the struggling Demetrius Christofes (senior,
sports administration), and they fended
off the Lakers, allowing just one hit and
no runs over a combined six innings of
work in the team’s 5-4 victory that went
into extra innings.
“Coming out of the bullpen
is something I’ve done before, so it
wasn’t out of the ordinary,” Zaorski
said. “It was just good to see that much
success out of two people.”
IUP is now 5-5 in the conference,
tied with the University of Pittsburgh at
Johnstown for fourth place in the PSAC
West, which would be good enough to
earn them a postseason birth if the regular season ended today.
However, the season is not even halfway over, and IUP has 18 games against
PSAC West opponents left on the schedule.
“You’re never happy with where you
are,” Ditch said. “You always wish you
were one spot up.
“Yet you appreciate the games you’ve
won and the opportunity to help yourself even more the next day.”
Next up for IUP is California
University of Pennsylvania, which is currently in sixth place in the early goings
of the PSAC West. The Crimson Hawks
are scheduled to begin a four-game stint
against the Vulcans Friday afternoon
at Owen Dougherty Field – IUP’s first
home game.
Barring any weather postponements
to their home-opening series with the
Vulcans, the Crimson Hawks will travel
to Mansfield to take on the Mountaineers
April 6 in a doubleheader.
Crimson Hawks lacrosse continues early-season PSAC dominance
Drew Hayden nets hat trick to lead IUP over Edinboro
By PETE SIRIANNI
Lead Sports Writer
[email protected]
The Indiana University of
Pennsylvania women’s lacrosse team
owns wins over two top-eight schools so
far, and the wins keep piling up as the
season continues.
“We started off a little slow with scoring this season but
finally found a way
LACROSSE
to dominate teams
with scoring,” Amy
Weinberg (sophomore, special education and clinical
services) said.
The Crimson
Hawks continued
their recent offensive assault with a 21-5
victory at Edinboro University Tuesday
afternoon at Sox Harrison Stadium.
With the victory, the Crimson Hawks’
record now stands at a Pennsylvania
State Athletic Conference-best 5-0 and
Sports
a 7-2 overall mark.
“I think that we have really been playing with a lot of confidence, and they’ve
really been playing together as a team,”
head coach Mindy Richmond said. “We
made it a goal of ours to finish the game
more strongly. That was something we
were able to accomplish in our last two
conference games.”
In the newest Intercollegiate Women’s
Lacrosse Coaches Association Top 15
poll, the Crimson Hawk women moved
up one spot to No. 7.
“It certainly is exciting, first of all to
break into the top 10 [of the rankings],”
Richmond said. “Our No. 1 goal is to
go far [in the PSAC] playoffs, and we’re
looking to win the championship this
season.”
In the last three games, with two
coming against PSAC opponents, IUP
has scored an average of 20 goals while
limiting offensive chances for opponents
to the tune of less than seven goals a
game.
“We keep treating every game as if
it is the top team in the conference and
have been setting goals for our team,”
Weinberg said.
Against the Fighting Scots, IUP got
out to an early lead and never looked
back.
The Crimson Hawks jumped out to
a 12-2 lead in the first half and limited
opportunities for Edinboro.
Drew Hayden (sophomore, special
education and clinical services) got
things going for the Crimson Hawks,
scoring the first two goals of the game
just 17 seconds apart.
Edinboro countered with a goal to
make it 2-1, but Hayden completed her
hat trick 26 seconds later on a pass from
Chelsey Hipp (senior) to stretch the lead
to 3-1.
IUP ran the score to 11-1 before
Edinboro’s Cydney Hrycko found the
back of the net.
Kim Hooven’s (freshman) goal before
halftime sent the Crimson Hawks into
the break with a comfortable 12-2 lead.
The second half was much of the
April 4, 2014
same, as Hayden opened the scoring
before Weinberg scored back-to-back
goals to bring the lead to 15-3.
Edinboro answered with two goals,
but the Crimson Hawks countered with
six consecutive goals to close out the
victory.
In all, 10 players found the scoring
column for IUP for the second straight
game.
Kim Hooven and Brittney Palardy
(sophomore, health and physical education) each scored two goals on three
shots after the tandem each scored
five goals Friday, March 28, against
Millersville University.
The stout IUP defense gave up just
10 shots, while the Crimson Hawks battered the Fighting Scots’ net 35 times.
IUP is back in action Saturday
when the team hosts East Stroudsburg
University.
For Richmond, the Crimson Hawks
need to continue playing their game
and hope the weather will cooperate
after snow caused the cancellation of
D. Hayden
28 goals
K. Hooven
27 goals
A. Weinberg
18 goals
B. Palardy
18 goals
Sunday’s game with Alderson-Broaddus
University.
“We need to just continue playing
as a team, having fun and enjoying
lacrosse,” Richmond said.
Game action for Saturday is set for 3
p.m. at George P. Miller Stadium. This
will be the first matchup between IUP
and East Stroudsburg this season.

Timko leads IUP to
two straight victories
King leaves lasting impression
with Crimson Hawks tennis team

Two victories in West Virginia had
the Indiana University of Pennsylvania
women’s tennis team riding high with
confidence.
The confidence will continue as
IUP has captured two hardfought victories
TENNIS
over Pennsylvania
State
Athletic
Conference rivals
Mercyhurst
University and
Slippery
Rock
University and
improved their overall record to 11-5.
IUP’s top doubles duo of Erika
Schnaas (junior, graphic design) and
Tanya Timko (junior, psychology)
defeated Mercyhurst’s top tandem, 8-2
Tuesday.
Crimson Hawks head coach Larry
Peterson said his best duo of Schnaas
and Timko have been performing well.
“Erika came to IUP with very good
doubles skills and has improved on
those skills,” Peterson said.
Sophie Butland (freshman, exercise
science) and Alanna McFail (sophomore, biology) defeated Courtney
Thompson and Annie Baich.
Peterson’s No. 1 singles player,
Timko, earned victories (6-2 and 6-2)
over Bristol. Timko, who earned PSAC
honors for the West Division Athlete
of the Week, has been performing well.
“Tanya can play with a lot of determination, and once she sets her mind
on a victory, she usually makes it happen,” Peterson said.
The Lakers managed to win two
of the six matches with the Crimson
Hawks in singles competition.
Prior to the match with the Pride
Wednesday, Peterson said his team
knew it was a big match.
“There is a lot of competitiveness.
It’s one of those situations where both
teams get fired up and play their best
tennis,” Petterson said.
IUP defeated Slippery Rock in their
first two doubles matches, but the
teams’ third pairing lost to SRU.
IUP will go on the road Friday
when they travel to Ashland, Ohio,
before returning home April 6.

If you ask a fan who the most influential person in women’s tennis is today,
answers might range anywhere from
Maria Sharapova to the Williams sisters.
However, after speaking to a large
crowd Monday night in Indiana
University of Pennsylvania’s Fisher
Auditorium, Billie Jean King left little
doubt about who the most important
player in the sport is, even some 38
years since her last major championship.
For the IUP women’s tennis team,
King’s presentation has the potential to
keep a lasting effect on the team, both
on the court and in life.
“My biggest take away from the
presentation was that I should really
strive to be my authentic self no matter what,” captain Abby McCormick
(junior, health and physical education)
said. “This is definitely one of my
core values and something I am always
working toward, but to hear it coming from one of the most inspirational
people to ever live was moving.”
King, 70, won 20 Wimbledon titles
on her way to 39 overall Grand Slam
victories. However, King’s impact on
the sport is tied to the 1973 “Battle of
the Sexes” match against former world
No. 1-men’s player Bobby Riggs.
Riggs proclaimed himself a “male
chauvinist pig” but was thoroughly
outplayed in the match at Houston’s
Astrodome by King, who won in
straight sets, 6-4, 6-3, 6-3.
“The reason I wanted to beat him
was for social change,” King said
Monday night.
The match would serve as the jumping point for gender equality, with the
newly signed Title IX law enacted just a
year before in 1972.
Simply put, without Title IX,
women athletes would face even more
obstacles than are presented today. The
law promises protection from discrimination based on gender.
“Without Title IX, I wouldn’t have
the same opportunities I do today,”
Ranvita Mahto (senior, natural sciences/pre-physical therapy). “If I was living
prior to Title IX, my opportunities in
the work and education field would
be extremely limited, being a woman
of color.”
Other teammates shared Mahto’s
views about King’s relevance in the
women’s sports world.
“You can definitely say that I owe
Billie Jean King a huge thank-you,”
Tanya Timko (junior, psychology) said.
“Without her, I wouldn’t be doing what
I am doing now. I wouldn’t have the
opportunity to compete for IUP.”
As a sign of her stature among
women athletes, King was named to
the Presidential Delegation to the 2014
Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia by
President Barack Obama.
Though much of her talk Monday
was about gender equality in sports,
King did offer helpful advice that could
be used by anybody, not just tennis
players or athletes. King’s three steps to
becoming a better person included having good relationships, never stopping
learning and being a problem-solver.
Another theme was to embrace
being nervous and to find heroes and
“sheroes” to look up to, like parents and
coaches instead of professional athletes.
“The real heroes or sheroes are
always close to home,” King said.
One of the highlights of the lecture
for the team was when King called the
players out and spoke to them directly
from the stage. Later, team members
assisted King on stage as she hit autographed tennis balls into the crowd
as friend Elton John’s “Philadelphia
Freedom,” a song written about King’s
World TeamTennis club, played in the
background to end the evening.
“I loved it. It fired me up,”
McCormick said. “I mean how often
does the most influential person in
tennis tell you exactly what she wants
from you?”
Whether or not King’s lecture had
a lasting effect on the audience is not
even a question.
“She has stood up for women everywhere and has allowed me to have more
opportunities,” Timko said. “We need
more people like Billie Jean King.”

How highly-touted college freshmen rate for the NBA draft
By MARC HEISLER
The Orange County Register
MCT
We’re still awaiting final results from
Tucson, Ariz.., and Lexington, Ky., but
the bottom line on the draft class of
2014, for which so many NBA teams
were stripped down, is in.
As vaunted classes go, it could have
been worse – much, much worse.
Indeed, it looked a lot worse in
January when consensus No. 1 pick
Andrew Wiggins from Kansas University
was like a deer in the headlights, before
his 7-0 Kansas teammate, Joel Embiid,
crashed the top-five rankings.
At that point, the “storied” ’14s had
no one as highly regarded as the No.
1 picks from 2008-12, Derrick Rose
(Memphis), Blake Griffin (Oklahoma),
John Wall (Kentucky), Kyrie Irving
(Duke) and Anthony Davis (Kentucky).
By season’s end, Embiid had been to
the mountaintop again, taking over the
No. 1 slot. Said one NBA GM: “His ceiling is Hakeem Olajuwon. His basement
is Serge Ibaka.”
That’s no longer the consensus view.
With Embiid out because of a stress
fracture in his spine, Wiggins made a
late-season move, climbing back to No.
1 across the board with ESPN’s Chad
Ford, Sports Illustrated’s Chris Mannix
and CBS Sports’ draftnik troika in
agreement.
In that case, they must not make No.
1 picks in vaunted draft classes the way
they used to.
Showing how fragile he is, Wiggins
ended his college career with a fourpoint, six-shot-attempt no-show in the
Jayhawks’ loss to No. 10-seed Stanford
University.
So where does that leave the Class
of ‘14?
No, I don’t think Wiggins is the best
prospect (that’s Embiid) or the most
NBA-ready (that’s Duke’s Jabari Parker).
Nevertheless, Wiggins might still go
No. 1 on sheer upside with NBA team
physicians, who are prone to red-flag
anything suspicious, yet to examine
Embiid.
Yes, it looks like the Lakers, now
sixth worst, can draft No. 6 and get
someone promising out of the pool
of Embiid, Wiggins, Parker, Australian
point guard Dante Exum, Kentucky forward Julius Randle and Arizona forward
Aaron Gordon.
If Parker comes out, his college
career will have also ended ingloriously,
shooting 4-of-14 in Duke’s first-round
loss to No. 14 seed Mercer.
He remains the consensus No. 3,
even if he’s not an elite athlete who’ll
probably measure out as a 6-7 ‘tweener,
with one scout calling him, “a basketball
savant.”
Says a general manager of Parker,
“He’s definitely the best basketball player
in the draft. That’s not even close.”
Randle, a hardworking 6-9, 250
beast, started at No. 2 but averaged a
modest 15 points to go with his 10.1
rebounds.
Randle is mobile but not explosive.
He has yet to start to expand his game so
it can still happen for him.
Julius Randle, left, slams home a dunk during Kentucky’s win over Wichita State
in the third round of the NCAA Tournament. Randle is expected to go pro. (MCT)
In the meantime, think of him as a
bigger Zach Randolph, before Randolph
began making mid-range jumpers
consistently.
Exum is a big (6-6), athletic point
guard, who loves the Lakers, having
called them “his best option.”
I’ll bet they love him, too. The
other 29 teams are ready for agent Rob
Pelinka, who reps Kobe Bryant, to keep
Exum from working out for anyone but
the Lakers.
SI’s Mannix just quoted two unidentified execs on lottery teams as saying
they would draft Exum anyway.
Gordon, a high-jumping 6-9 forward, was originally compared to
Griffin, although they must have meant
when Blake was a high school junior.
Gordon ended up a hardworking,
self-effacing, fledgling power forward,
but still had a lot of admirers before
making a late move, averaging 14 points
and nine rebounds for the Wildcats in
the NCAA Tournament.
Much like Gordon, UCLA’s Kyle
Anderson is an athletic freak, but he isn’t
in the lottery, yet.
The 6-9 point forward’s stock rose
in the Bruins’ run to the Sweet 16, but
NBA people still rank him from the late
teens to the early 20s.
“He’s hard to categorize,” said a GM.
“There’s no question he can play in the
NBA. He has vision, passing ability and
a high basketball IQ, but we and 29
other teams are asking what kind of a
system he would fit best.”
As for comparisons to Grant Hill or
Magic Johnson (get serious), that’s like
the babbling of children.
UCLA’s success was due in large
part to running the offense through
Anderson, prompting opponents to put
guards on him, giving him a huge height
advantage.
In the NBA’s age of the point guard,
it’s unlikely that a pro team will run its
offense through a big man until the next
Magic comes along.
A more apt comparison, to me, is
Chicago’s Mike Dunleavy Jr., who has
developed into one of the NBA’s better
reserves. Anderson might even become a
better version if he can make threes (he
shot 48 percent from the arc this season
but only attempted 1.6 a game).
So much for college for the vaunted
Class of 2014. And that was the easy
part.
