Six O’Clock Series talks

about Iraq War

“War has not changed. The character of war has changed.” IUP alumnus Maj. Gen. Thomas Csrnko, the U.S. Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School’s Commanding General in Fort Bragg, N.C., borrowed U.S. Army Chief of Staff Gen. George W. Casey Jr.’s words to open Monday’s Six O’Clock Series.

IUP’s military science depart-ment co-sponsored the event to illuminate the U.S. Army’s Special Forces role in Iraq. So what has changed about war, and why are Special Forces significant?

“The enemy is different,” Csrnko said. “It’s not so clearly definable.” Iraq and Afghanistan are wracked by al-Qaida, an international terrorist organization that employs cells worldwide to spread terror. Combating al-Qaida’s widespread force requires soldiers who are fluent in the region’s native languages and possess knowl-edge of its cultures and customs, he said. And the Army’s challenge in the Iraq war, which Csrnko has dubbed “Iraqistan,” is aiding Iraqi and Afghani security units and encouraging self-sufficient govern-ment, he said.

“They need help to stand on their own two feet,” he said. “Like a little child.” But Csrnko knows Iraq is far from standing.

“That’s a daunting task — one that’s not going to be finished in a year or two or maybe five,” he said. And that’s where Special Forces come into play.

“One of the hallmarks of Special Forces is the ability to inter-face and adapt to local forces,” he said. Special Forces soldiers are deployed into units, called detachments, of about 12 soldiers each. Detachments exist in 50 countries, and Afghanistan has 15 operating camps, he said.

Soldiers must train for one to two years before graduating and must earn between 100 and 120 credits at the school Csrnko heads, which reinforces the “interface and adapt” strategy. And learn-ing languages is essential to the strategy, Csrnko said. Students are expected to master one or more of the program’s 17 core languages and to learn the cultural nuances of specific regions. But will the strat-egy help Iraqistan stand tall? That remains to be seen. However, stu-dents know that win or lose, sup-porting troops is vital.

“We might not like the out-come,” said Benjamin Van Ouse (freshman, journalism). “But divid-ed, we’d be even worse.”

Studied Abroad and Lived to Tell About It

Thinking about studying abroad? Join us as students who have traveled to other countries tell their humorous stories and experiences. A panel of

returning study abroad students moderated by the study abroad advisor will discuss different aspects of going

abroad for a summer, a semester, or for a year.

IUP, Indiana community contribute to Treasures for Children

For the fifth year in a row, various campus entities will make their own contribution to Treasures for Children, Salvation Army Christmas Program, a 25-year-old tradition that delivers Christmas gifts to children from birth to 18 and senior citizens.

Mortar Board, the National Pan-Hellenic Council, the Panhellenic Association, the Interfraternity Council, Sen. Donald C. White, the Rotary Club of Indiana, Downtown Indiana, the Student Cooperative Association Cooperative Store, the Indiana County Bar Association, Quota International of Indiana, Pa., Indiana Regional Medical Center, Aramark Corporation and Delaney Chevrolet, Buick, Honda, Hyundai and Subaru are among those sponsoring 15 trees which will be decorated and donated to the Salvation Army to be given to families in Indiana County.

“The project was initiated by President Tony Atwater and his wife, Beverly Roberts-Atwater, to provide a holiday atmosphere in the Blue Room, one of the most historical buildings on campus,” said Deborah Carmella, coordinator at the Office of University Events.

Various campus entities will be taking around cans to collect money for the efforts. “The group most

successful in canning will be given funding toward attending a conference or hosting a speaker on service and community action,” Carmella said.

Additional funding will support leadership, community and volun-teer service initiatives to participat-ing students from Student Leadership Organizations and Greek Life.

Decorating will take place Nov. 30 to Dec. 2 in the Blue Room of Sutton Hall.

The Annual Presidential Tree Lighting will be held at 4:45 p.m. Dec. 2 on the East Porch of Sutton Hall.

As part of another connected campus effort, Education Librarian and assistant professor Kelly Heider had organized the IUP Libraries Treasures for Children Book Drive for the last three years.

“It’s important for all children to have access to books. Children who

are read to or read at an early age develop important literacy skills as well as a love of reading,” Heider said.

Anybody who wants to purchase a new book for a needy child can send an e-mail to [email protected], who will respond with the sex and age of a child.

For more information on the book drive, contact Heider at 724-357-4886 or [email protected].

All books are due by Monday, Dec. 14 and should be dropped off or sent to Heider at the following address:

Dr. Kelly Heider205 Stabley Library429 S. 11th StreetIndiana, PA 15705

Carrying on the quarter-century tradition, the Salvation Army will provide gifts for more than 2,000 peo-ple in the Indiana area who are enrolled in the program by stationing tagged trees in Walmart, K-Mart and several churches so individuals can pick up tags containing items on their wish lists.

The gifts will range from $5 to $100 and range from clothing to DVDs, CDs, baby dolls and trucks.

“Bakugan is a very popular request this year,” said Indiana Salvation Army Worship & Service Center Captain Lynda English.

According to English, program participants are individuals at the

income level that the government requires to receive food stamps, have family members with serious illnesses or who’ve suffered lay-offs or are underemployed. According to English, those considered underemployed “may have two minimum-wage jobs, but are unable to make ends meet.”

“I like the program because there are a lot of children in need who wouldn’t be able to receive a nice Christmas present without the Salvation Army. It’s nice to give families an extra boost around Christmas time,” English said.

“If you can’t afford exactly what’s on the tag, you can purchase any gift for a child in that age range,” English said. “We have children that might sign up later due to family emergencies and tags won’t be out for them.”

For more information about the effort, contact the Center at 724-465-2530.

Donations will be accepted until Dec. 14 and can be dropped off at any of the trees or the Salvation Army at 635 Water St.

Student Government Association discusses extension of HUB fitness hours, Greek Life zones

The Student Government Association held its seventh meeting of the semester Tuesday.

Beginning with a call to order, the meeting commenced at 5:45 p.m. in the HUB Allegheny Room Center.

The first required SGA support of expanded HUB Fitness Center hours.

The issue concerning the current

hours is that many students wish to exercise outside the current restrictive parameters of the weekend hours.

The SGA stated its knowl-edge that, by extending hours, the fitness center will be put to use more often.

The second call for action was the formation of a monthly SGA e-mail newsletter.

They stated that, although SGA is the official representative of the student body, many students are

unaware of SGA affairs. They wish to change this and allow students to become more aware of what goes on with the SGA. They hope to create a monthly newsletter that is to be sent to every student on the first Monday of every month.

The third call for action was the integration of the Community Liaison into the University Affairs Committee. The members of SGA are confident that by inclusion in the UAC, the Community Liaison will be able to use

the power of the UAC and be more effective in his or her position.

The Community Liaison stated that there is a need to extend Greek Life zones.

There is a borough ordinance that refuses to allow sorority houses to be established.

Because of this, sororities have to walk long distances to hold their meetings and, currently, there’s a movement to overturn the ordinance banning sorority houses.

Following this were reports by the University Senate Committee. Student Affairs mentioned that one of the professors has become ill with the H1N1 virus and voiced the concern that students may use this as an excuse to get out of class and to avoid taking the final exam.

A substitute solution was presented which includes the establishment of a proctor exam.

The SGA meets next at 7 p.m. Dec. 8 in Office 212A of the HUB.

IUP community, students celebrate Native American Festival in honor of culture

The IUP community was treated to a rare but appreciated dose of Native American culture Saturday.

In 2006, IUP’s Council of Trustees approved a resolution dedicating the month of November to promote awareness of and appreciation for the history and culture of the region’s Native Americans.

Since then, the university has cel-ebrated the Native American Festival every year in the month of November.

On Saturday at the HUB, the uni-versity community was on hand to celebrate.

Cliffton Pembleton, chair of the Native American Awareness Council, who is himself Native American, spoke about the importance of preserving Native American culture.

“it brings awareness to the exis-tence of Native American people and to the fact that we are alive and a viable culture,” he said

The ceremony kicked off at noon with The Drums of the Native Sisters. The group opened with song and drum but no dance. They sang songs that spoke about Native American history and rich culture, and they treated the guests to intimate insights into Native American thought.

There were songs that celebrated the earth as the greatest force of

nature and songs about the Hudson River.

The crowd was instructed on a rare rite of passage for young Native American women that leads girls to earn horse tail earrings when they turn 13.

Some of the songs were quite familiar to the crowd. This one, for instance: “Beans porridge hot, Beans porridge cold, beans porridge in the pot nine days old.”

It was a lesson in history as wellThe Drums of the Native Sisters

also sang patriotic songs, one was about the ambush of the 507 convoy in Iraq that led to the cap-ture of three women — one black, one white and one native American, Shoshanna Johnson.

The Leader of The Drums of the Native Sisters, Kathy (Walks not Alone) Johnston, emphasized the significance that women of all races are fighting together to defend their collective freedom.

Johnston also spoke on the impor-tant role women play in keeping the

world safe today. “Women’s roles have evolved from being nurses and caretakers to being fighters in the battlefront, yet they are doing that heroically, fearlessly and with patriotism,” she said.

The later part of the day was taken over by The Allegheny River Native Dancers, who invited all pres-ent to join in the dance and the celebration.

Bob Kessler, a member of the community and a believer in Native cultures said, “I wish more people were involved so all peo-ple could be recognized for their contribution to the American society.” He and his wife were there to take in the sights and sounds of the festival.

Several students were on hand for the celebration as well.

Most of them were there to cover the event for college credit, but they thought it was a worthwhile celebration.

Kimi Brown, whose uncle is Native American, came because she “misses that connection with that part of my family.”

Meanwhile two students from Sudan, Abraham Mei and Lam Mankour, thought it reminded them so much of home. There was a lot of food on hand, but the favorite was the buffalo burgers from the Bison ranch. There was also Native American art on hand to meet every taste.

Scheduling for the spring semes-ter continues on after several weeks of students scheduling their required courses they need to graduate.

It was a week ago when I was able to schedule the courses I needed. As I scheduled, I could not help but won-der: What do any of these required courses do for journalism students? I have heard some say that required courses are supposed to give you a “well-rounded education.” I say that is exactly what they want you to think. Think about it. When does chemistry apply to writing a news story? When will journalists use the Periodic Table when they interview a public official?

Based on previous work I did for The Penn, I can say the answer for me is never. Chemistry never came to my mind when I wrote news sto-ries, features and opinion columns. Protons and electrons never came to my mind when I interviewed James Dougherty, an IUP sociology profes-

sor, about globalization. The only time chemistry came to my mind is when I had to do a lab or take a test.

You do not have to use journal-ism as an example. Take your major and think about a required course that you do not like. Think about how you would use that course in your future career. I bet almost all of you will never find any use for that course, except to pass it. But once you pass the course, you will forget everything, which means the “well-rounded education” you were supposed to get, will have done you no good.

If there are any professors that are offended by what I said, I apolo-gize. My column is not meant to be insulting. But wouldn’t you, as a professor, rather teach interested students rather than teach students that are taking it to fulfill a require-ment? If I was a professor, I would rather teach the students that are interested, which are probably the

students majoring in the course. In my opinion, having a “well-

rounded education” is really a scam for your money. The average annual cost of attending a four-year public university is about $12,000, accord-ing to CNN’s Web site.

For me, attending IUP is about $20,000, according to my URSA account. The courses I take make up a lot of that money I pay. You do the math.

I think it is a shame that people use the “well-rounded education” excuse with a straight face. What is an even bigger shame is that some students are gullible enough to fall for that.

I have talked to students that believe you do get a “well-rounded education” by taking these courses.

I am willing to bet that if I did ask them about how I would use chemis-try as a journalist, they would not be able to answer.

Imagine today is your first day of class, only your room is not in a tradi-tional lecture hall or classroom.

You push through a set of mahog-any doors revealing an upscale board-room and a panel of executives who look like a firing squad. They are your peers — your classmates — who you will work with on assignments and projects and perhaps even be expect-ed to converse with.

Imagine this, all after years of absence from the classroom and you might begin to understand the strug-gle of so many non-traditional college students.

It’s human nature, I suppose, to scan the classroom during the first couple days and glance at those around you. In three of my four class-es, I noticed students who were signif-icantly older than anyone else. Were they the professor’s grad assistant just sitting in on the lecture? That was my best guess, as I truly didn’t expect to see a 42-year-old woman in an entry-level course about America’s geography.

It soon dawned on me that they had made the courageous decision to return to school in order to better their lives and those of their families. Some were single mothers whose path took a detour once children arrived. Others were newly divorced and left to fend for themselves, seeking a degree in a career field that would support their lifestyle.

I think it’s an incredibly commend-able effort that so many adults have begun to take advantage of. Why shouldn’t they finally gain the knowl-edge they’ve craved since their teen-age years but couldn’t get because of circumstances? I know I wouldn’t want to come back to school even four years after high school, let alone 20 or more.

I can only imagine the strength and inner-confidence it takes to walk onto a college campus where the tra-ditional college student glares and whispers about your return. I’ve heard many 18- and 19- year olds say, “Why would they even bother coming back?

They must have been really dumb or something to not go right after high school.” While that was paraphrased and profanity free, it just shows the uneasiness about undergrad students who don’t fit the stereotypical teen-age image.

I don’t understand how people could be so rude to a person who is doing nothing other than bettering him or herself.

Maybe they admit their past mis-takes and are doing the right thing now to get their lives back on track. It’s no one’s business to judge their motives or critique their intelligence. They are students too, attempting to do alone without the financial sup-port of parents what many of us have had the gift of being given at such a young age.

The number of non-traditional stu-dents has dramatically increased over the past decade or so, with 13 per-cent of college students being single parents over the age of 25, according to the Department of Education and back2college.com.

I can attest to that demographic as well as a young woman in my theater class who regularly brings her two children with her.

They are well behaved kids, draw-ing and coloring their hearts out while she takes notes and participates in class discussions. I applaud her moti-vation and dedication she displays for her education, as I can’t say that I would have the same attitude or outlook as she.

According to IUP’s website, some 8 percent of our student population, both undergraduate and graduate programs accounted for, fit the non-traditional student description.

That means roughly 1,171 students have stuffed their pride in their pock-ets and made the decision to educate or improve themselves later in life. It is not our duty to alienate them or criticize their reasons for not attend-ing college right out of high school.

It is our duty, however, to make them feel welcome and to not judge an old book in a new genre.

For most people, it is the most wonderful time of the year. Now is the time that people are starting to prepare for the beginning of the holiday season. For a lot of people, the holiday means it will be a time for a lot of eating, holiday gifts, New Year’s resolutions and family.

While a lot of you are fortunate enough to have a home, family, food and other things, there are also a lot of people that do not have those things. Many of you might not realize this, but there are a lot of people that are not as for-tunate as you are.

This year will be especially bad for many people, due to the deep recession we are in. That is why there should be a place in your heart this holiday season for those less fortunate than you. When you are opening your gifts and eating a nice home-cooked turkey dinner with the family that you love, remember that there are a lot of others that will not be doing that this year.

The holiday season is supposed to be the best time of the year. Why not spread some of that happiness to those that do go to bed hungry every night, to those that have no family and to those who might not even have a home to live in? There are many charities out there that you can donate to. Every year, the Salvation Army, Toys for Tots and other organizations collect donations to spread cheer to the cheerless. With the tough economy, there are likely a lot of you that might not be able to donate as much. However, if you donate a little, even if it is a few dollars, it will make all the difference in the world for people less fortunate than you.

Spread some cheer this holiday season. Better yet, take the lessons we learn throughout the holiday season about brotherhood and translate it into year-round philanthropy. We ought not have an emphasis on generosity merely between October and January. That leaves two-thirds of the year unaccounted for! Even if you find yourself in a situation where you don’t have the extra money, don’t forget about one of our most valuable resources: Time. If each of us tries to give a little of what we have – whether it be time, extra goods, or money – the collective effort will more than make up for what any one of us lacks.

Donate time, resources for others through holidays, year-round

Recovering billions of dollars of assets stolen by corrupt government officials and preventing future thefts can play a paramount role in the effort to restore our depressed global economy to robust good health.

By putting stolen assets back into the public purse we can help re-establish confidence in our world’s financial markets — an objective particularly important as countries continue to disperse staggering amounts of stimulus funds to spark a long-awaited economic turnaround.

The groundwork for this vast anti-corruption project was laid six years ago this month when the U.N. General Assembly approved the UNCAC — thus making govern-mental corruption a transnational problem that could only be solved by sustained international cooperation.

Financial centers now are tak-ing a lead in tackling the fraud that degrades confidence in financial institutions, free markets and gov-ernments everywhere.

In the United Kingdom, a joint unit established between the Department for International Development and the Metropolitan Police

cooperated with investigations in Nigeria, Malawi and Zambia that recovered or froze nearly $250 mil-lion worth of corrupt assets.

Working under the same pro-gram, Swiss authorities pro-vided legal assistance to the governments of Mali and Haiti to recover assets laundered by cor-rupt former leaders Gen. Moussa Traore and Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier.

In February, Swiss officials agreed to freeze $6 million of assets that ended up in their country after alleg-edly being stolen by Duvalier — a much-needed step in thwarting the Haitian dictator and other such kleptocrats from finding safe havens for stolen funds in Europe’s major financial centers.

Squelching corruption mat-ters because recovered assets are windfalls that can be used to cre-ate jobs, conquer debilitating diseases and restore dignity to the millions of poor who have been victimized by uncaring, often totalitarian governments.

The World Bank and the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime’s Stolen Asset Recovery Initiative are work-ing together to better arm finan-cial authorities and law enforce-ment agencies with the tools to

investigate and eventually recover proceeds of corruption.

The public and private sectors can play a proactive role in drying up the flow of stolen assets that now find their way from impoverishing nations to the world’s most glittering financial centers.

Nongovernment organizations also are crucial partners in this world-wide quest. Building on the recent successes of the Drop the Debt campaign, Make Poverty History and Live 8, NGOs such as Transparency International and Global Witness are leading players in the flight against governmental corruption.

The political will to handcuff the public looters is beginning to mobi-lize.

In September, the G-20 lead-ers meeting in Pittsburgh affirmed their commitment to increasing the flow of capital to developing coun-tries and for the first time, agreed to “prevent its illicit outflow.”

The challenge we have is to translate this commitment into coordinated action against official corruption at every level of govern-ment.

Success will bring the fresh breeze of hope to billions of people whose chief aim now is survive to the next day.

Dogs and cats, up and down, left and right, men and women – the last of these opposites is taken to an entirely new level with this week’s DVD release, “The Ugly Truth.”

Take any stance you want, but it’s a universally known fact that men are very, very different from women. Just ask Mike Chadway (Gerard Butler), the host of television show “The Ugly Truth,” which explains what men real-ly think and what they really want. It’s gruff, it’s lewd, it’s straightforward and it’s downright hilarious.

The show is so popular that when the local TV affiliates take notice, they decide to put him on the air with their morning news show to counter their dropping ratings.

Not everyone agrees with the way Chadway goes to work, however.

When successful producer and total control-freak Abby Richter (Katherine Heigl) is told she is now in charge of the wild Mike Chadway and his show, personalities clash immediately. Abby hates everything about Chadway and his antics. When she is struggling in

the romance department, however, she takes a chance on what he sug-gests.

Think “Hitch,” but for women and much, much more vulgar.

After making a bet with Mike, the terms of which results in either his resignation or her getting the man of her dreams, Abby sets out to try the Mike Chadway School of Romance. She doesn’t believe a word of what he has to say will actually work, but to her surprise, Mike just might know what he is talking about after all ...

After 10 minutes of this movie, you’re going to be into it. It’s really as simple as that. Something about the amazing chemistry between Heigl and Butler just glues you to the screen. Not surprisingly, the film will also have you either cringing from awkward-ness or laughing till you can’t breathe anymore in every scene.

Leave it to Butler to be able to play a menacing bad-guy, leader of an army of Speedo-sporting, sword-wielding soldiers or the funnyman on a television morning

show. The charisma he shows with every performance is out-and-out phenomenal. “The Ugly Truth” is certainly no exception.

Not to be outdone, Heigl shines in this comedy as well. With her confident approach to the pro-fessionally successful woman, she plays the role to certain perfec-tion.

And yes, she can be very, very funny too. Her performance totally dwarfs the role she played in “Knocked Up.”

Put the two together – Butler and Heigl – and you really can’t go wrong. The pair brilliantly makes the whole situation believable and very side-splitting.

The supporting cast holds its own as well, even though there are no other big players.

If you’ve been looking for a romantic comedy that can be enjoyed by both sexes equally without too much eye-rolling, “The Ugly Truth” should be your first pick.

Trust me on this one, it’s worth a rent.

The IUP Jazz Ensemble and the IUP Wind Ensemble are performing in concert at IUP’s Performing Arts Center located in Fisher Auditorium on Sunday. The concert, which will take place from 3-5 p.m., is free to the public.

The two ensembles will be per-forming jointly. The Wind Ensemble, directed by director of band stud-ies, Jack Stamp, is the main con-cert wind group at the university and has received acclaim for several CD recordings. The Jazz Ensemble, which began at IUP in 1938,

consists of 20 musicians, all from different majors on campus. It is currently under the direction of music professor Kevin Eisensmith and performs a mixture of music, including Latin, swing, ballads and fusion.

The concert, being held by the College of Fine Arts’ Lively Arts, was not originally free of charge so the Lively Arts asks that if you had pur-chased a ticket, contact them about a refund. The Lively Arts can be contacted at 724-357-2547 or [email protected].

For more information about this concert and other upcoming shows, visit iup.edu/livelyarts or find them on Facebook and Twitter.

On Nov. 18, IUP will get a little more “metal.” That’s because stand-up comedian Brian Posehn will perform in the HUB Ohio room at 8 p.m. According to his Myspace page, myspace.com/bri-anposehn, Posehn started comedy in the early ’90s in San Francisco, and was a local favorite along with such com-ics as Greg Proops and Patton Oswalt. He wrote for and performed on the cult favorite HBO series “Mr. Show with Bob and David” and appeared on the sitcom “Just Shoot Me.”

Posehn is part of the alternative comedy movement.

Along with comics like Oswalt,

Zach Galifianakis, Maria Bamford and the late Mitch Hedberg, he is trying to create a new, less structured form of comedy. Posehn was part of the “Comedians of Comedy Tour,” a tour

made up entirely of alternative comedians.

His stand-up album, “Live In: Nerd Rage,”

centers on topics like nerd culture,

metal bands and his personal life.

A review from blogcrit-ics.org said,

“It’s also funny. Really funny. Rib-

tickling, tears-in-your-eyes, stomach-

hurts-from-too-much-mirth funny.”

The event is sponsored by The Entertainment Network. Tickets are $5 with an I-Card or $8 without, and can be purchased at the HUB ticket office or online at iuptickets.com or coop.iup.edu/ten.

The weather outside is frightful but not bad enough to stop some fitness enthusiasts. Devoted runners, hikers, skiers and snow shoers will still head outdoors for exercise and adventure despite the frigid temps.

Exercising in cold weather presents unique challenges and requires special preparation. Here are seven questions outdoor enthusiasts should consider before heading into the cold:

HOW COLD IS TOO COLD TO HEAD OUTDOORS?

“The general rule is that if the tem-perature is below zero or the wind chill is below minus 20, you should stay inside,” said Tracy Enos, fitness director at Midtown Fitness in Oak Park, Ill.

Exercisers should also consider their age, weight and body type before heading into the extreme cold, said Kathleen Weber, a sports medicine physician at Rush University Medical Center in Chicago, Ill.

Taller individuals, for example, have a smaller body surface to body mass ratio which means they have lower heat loss.

Small children, in contrast, are likely to have a higher body surface to body mass ratio so they are more prone to hypothermia, Weber said.

Age also matters, as older peo-ple have less muscle, which Weber

said is a natural protector against heat loss.

WHAT IS HYPOTHERMIA?Hypothermia is when body tem-

perature drops below 95 degrees. Early stages of hypothermia include shiv-ering, increased heart rate and cold extremities.

As the condition progresses, the person will lose the ability to shiver, which is the body’s method of gen-erating heat. The progression grows more severe as the person loses con-sciousness and the condition becomes deadly, Weber said.

WHAT IS FROSTBITE?Frostbite is the freezing and crys-

tallization of body tissue. At-risk body parts are exposed areas such as ears, nose, cheeks and fingers. Frostbite can be superficial, which results in the graying of the skin and painful numbness.

“When it gets more severe, you’ll see a white tissue, and bloody blisters will form,” Weber said. “The area can start to be painful and go completely numb.”

Severe frostbite can lead to skin loss or amputation of affected areas, Weber said.

Be aware of frost nip symptoms in which numbness and pain are relieved once inside and warm, Weber said.

WHAT IS PROPER PREPARATION FOR OUTDOOR ACTIVITY?

Start with light activity as a warm

up before heading outdoors, Enos said.

“Let the body get heated, gradually increase the heart rate,” Enos said.

Walking on a treadmill and gentle stretching is an example of a proper warm up. Athletes should also con-sider the pre-workout nutrition and hydration.

“Blood sugar and glucagon are needed to produce energy,” Weber said. “You need to be able to shiver which requires increased energy.”

Hydration is also important and athletes should not wait until they are thirsty to drink water. “If you’re run-ning outside, that thirst mechanism might not kick in as if you were run-ning indoors,” Enos said.

WHAT IS PROPER APPAREL?Pick wickable materials such as

polypropylene and layer up. “According to the American College of Sports Medicine, it’s best to wear layers,” Enos said. “You want to wear sev-eral thin layers instead of one heavy layer.”

Thin layers can be easily removed once the body heat increases. Even though it’s cold, athletes will sweat, so wickable materials are recommended. “You don’t want to inhibit the body’s ability to sweat, that’s the way your body regulates temperature, but you don’t want to keep the moisture next to the skin,” Enos said.

You should also wear athletic gloves and socks, as Enos said 30 percent of body heat is lost through

hands and feet. A hat is a must, as 50 percent of body heat is lost through the head. Enos also recommended a scarf or turtle neck for covering the mouth and nose.

HOW SHOULD YOU RECOVER?Plan on a gradual cool down that

lasts for at least five to 10 minutes. Enos also recommended taking the stretching indoors.

Once inside, plan on eating within 60 minutes of the end of the workout. Pick foods with protein and high com-plex carbohydrates in order to help tissues repair faster, Enos said.

IF IT’S TOO COLD OUTSIDE, WHAT IS A GOOD INDOOR WORKOUT?

Runners should consider cycling on a stationary bike or in a spin class. “Cycling gives you a good ability to cross train and get the same cardio-vascular impact from running but without the strain on your knees and joints,” Enos said.

Eliptical machines are a recom-mended workout for skiers since it uses the arms, Enos said.

Exercisers interested in trying the treadmill should remember to increase the incline in order to simulate the outdoor experience.

“You really want to increase the incline, even if it’s .5 percent, so it mimics the biomechanical running outside,” Enos said. “In order to mimic running outside, you need an incline so your muscles have to propel your body forward.”

Campus, community members attend ‘An Independent Portrait’ viewing

To participate in a discussion of the creative process, approximately two dozen campus and community members attended the showing of Jose Muniain’s “An Independent Portrait” Wednesday at McVitty Auditorium.

The film illustrates the meeting of two artists: Young, an award-winning filmmaker who won the Camera d’Or at Cannes and Best Feature at San Sebastian for “Alambrista!,” and De la Concha, a Spanish artist who painted a different view of the Cathedral of

Learning every day for a year.Through De la Concha’s

brushstrokes, the audience learned more about film director Robert Young. “This portrait was created in front of the camera,” Muniain said.

A few more attendees asked questions about the film. One asked if the two artists knew one another prior to the film.

He responded that De la Concha had known about Young’s work, but the two became acquainted on camera.

True to life is Young’s utter-ance during the film, “a face is a map of life.” The audience

viewed clips of Young’s many films, shown as markers in the path of his life.

An audience member asked why Muniain had included a particu-larly long clip of Cortile Cascino, a film banned from

A m e r i c a n television.

“It was a strong film and I wanted people to see it or at least have a taste of it,” Muniain said.

In response to an audience question, Muniain maintained that his concept of the film had stayed

the same as it took shape. Driven by the film’s soundtrack – electric

cello played by Barrett Black–Muniain took eight months

to edit the film.“Some say a film is

never finished; it is aban-doned,” Muniain said.

As he lives in Pittsburgh, Muniain looks

for subjects there. That

is where he found Huang Xiang, a Chinese poet who spent more than 12 years in Chinese prisons for his advoca-cy of human rights in his lyrical poetry. The former resident of the City of Asylum/Pittsburgh became the topic of “Sampsonia Way: City of Asylum,” which is available to be viewed at: current.com/items/77137502_samp-sonia-wa.

For more information about “An Independent Portrait,” visit aninde-pendentportrait.com. English pro-fessor Tom Slater has established a thread for the use of interested campus and community members at iupfilmstudies.wordpress.com.

Heather Robbins (7) was named to the All-PSAC West second team Thursday.

IUP falls to West Chester in PSAC semi- finals, still clinches NCAA tournament berth

The Crimson Hawks went down 4-1 against West Chester in the semi-finals of the PSAC tournament last Friday afternoon.

The Crimson Hawks took an early lead at the 14-minute mark as Allison Keller scored with an assist from Sarah Romasco and was able to put it past Lyndsie Bernardini. That would be the only goal for IUP.

West Chester had a goal of their own just three minutes later.

Tara Malkiewicz, with the assist from Sarah Oswald, was able to tie the game back up at two.

This goal would be the first of many.

At the 24-minute mark, Oswald got her second assist in the game when Melissa McKeary was able to slip it past Kelly Brennan.

The second half showed little to no mercy to the Crimson Hawks as every

effort to come back was stopped. Jen Hutchinson, in the 56th minute

of the game, was able to get the ball past the Crimson Hawks defense and score a goal unassisted, extending West Chester’s lead to 3-1.

West Chester held on to the lead the rest of the game, and was able to defeat the Crimson Hawks for the second time this season.

West Chester went on to play Kutztown in the PSAC Championship game and won 2-1 in its third PSAC Women’s Soccer Championship game in four years.

The loss dropped the Hawks to 13-6-1, but even with the loss, the Crimson Hawks still managed to earn a spot in the NCAA tournament.

In the Atlantic Region first round of the NCAA tournament, the Crimson Hawks will travel to West Chester at noon Friday to face a familiar oppo-nent in Gannon. IUP won both games against Gannon in the regular sea-son, outscoring it 7-2. The winner of that match will go on to play West Chester.

Fantasy FactorsBye-bye bye weeks. Hello

crunch-time.Week 10 of the NFL season

is almost upon us, and, thus, so to are the playoffs.

“Playoffs?!” Yep, Coach Jim Mora, I’m glad you asked, as I think it prudent to specify which playoffs I’m referring to.

The NFL playoffs will not begin until after the 17-week (16 games per team plus one bye week) regular season is completed.

However, fantasy-league playoffs will commence starting in Week 14, which means that the fantasy regu-lar season lasts only 13 games. It has been set-up this way because, If the fantasy-season format “fol-lowed” the NFL-season format, then fantasy owners would have “holes” in their lineups (at any spot where their normal starter’s [NFL] team had failed to make the playoffs).

In most fantasy football leagues, there exists two divi-sions, each of which consisting of five squads.

Following the completion of Week 13, the top two teams in each division (according to record) qualify for the playoffs. The first round matches the No. 1 seed from division “A” against the No. 2 seed from division “B” (and vice versa).

Week 14 acts as the “first half” of the first-round match-ups; Week 15 acts as the “second half.”

The winners of each semi-final, based on the total points scored in the double-week dust-up, advance to the Championship game, which is played over the final two NFL

regular-season weeks (16 and 17).

So, the thing is that, even if you have a solid team with solid players, if you aren’t one of the top-two teams (record-wise) in your

division, or at least in a posi-tion to get there quickly, then you need to do some-

thing. Here are a couple factors to

consider:Beware of the Superbly Successful

Great teams are, well, great. However, great teams

aren’t always good for fantasy football owners near the end of the season. In the NFL, the effectiveness (or lack-there-of) of “resting” players on teams who have clinched a playoff spot, division title or first round bye, is a much-debated topic. Whether it works or not is another question for another day; how to handle it is what’s at hand.

The Vikings (7-1) currently sit

atop the NFC North standings, having earned seven victories in their first eight games.

Adrian Peterson has been outstandingly consistent and productive, and Favre has performed like Favre circa ’96. However, for fantasy owners who own either, the Vikings’ domination of the North may mean bad things a few weeks down the line. The Bears and Packers, both sitting at .500 with a record of 4-4, are essen-tially out of contention.

Soon, they will be eliminated mathematically, and when that happens, Vikings Coach Brad Childress will have to make a decision: play the old man and the young buck, or sit ‘em.

The same reason has me concerned about the big names on the Colts and Saints as well.

The Colts (8-0) have tradi-tionally (under Tony Dungy) chosen to rest their players when possible. I’m not sure what Coach Caldwell will decide (if it comes to it), but I do know that relying on Peyton Manning, as your only playable option at quarterback, would be a mistake. The Saints, like the Colts, remain undefeated. However, unlike the Colts, the Saints have not been in this position before. I think he’ll play throughout (especially if his team’s still going for a per-fect season), but it is possible that Drew Brees could be gone with the wind for the final few weeks — so think ahead.
