At a recent news con-ference, Waynesburg Uni-versity President TimothyR. Thyreen noted thatWaynesburg Universityhas been audited and isrecognized for being a pos-itive example of fiscalresponsibility.

Other higher educationinstitutions now want tocopy Waynesburg’s qualityformula, a formula thatthe president suggests isachieved by simply doingthings right.

“We monitor ourspending and also makeinvestments in people,”said Thyreen. “We contin-ue to give raises and wecontinue to give excellenthealth care to our employ-ees, but we also know thatwe have to be cautious interms of each year. Mostpeople at WaynesburgUniversity work veryhard, and to continue thatwe have to work intelli-gently.”

However, the incom-ing class of 2016 is a rareexception.

“There are a largeamount of students thatare still making up theirmind on where theywant to attend college,”said Jessica Sumpter,senior admissions coun-selor at Waynesburg.“The high school classof 2012 is a later decid-ing class, which seemsto be the norm accord-ing to all the other uni-versities we have talkedto.”

Last year, Waynesburgbrought in 433 fresh-men, give or take stu-dents who transferred toand from the University.

“Our goal is to getaround 400 students,”Sumpter said. “Fourhundred is a good num-ber because it’s largeenough for the Universi-ty, but still smallenough to keep enroll-

The main focus ofTuesday’s Chapel wasservice. UniversityPresident TimothyThyreen began the serv-ice by giving a brief his-tory of service in theschool and the steps ithas taken to becomewhat it is today.

Thyreen made clearthe importance of serv-ice at Waynesburg Uni-versity and how proudhe is to see how Way-nesburg has impactedour state, our countryand the world.”

During the servicethe Gardner Awards forservice were presentedto one student and onegroup from Waynes-burg.

Jay Gardner theGrandson of Harry E.Gardner, the awardsnamesake, presented toa student and club thatexcels in service andschool.

The Waynesburg fac-ulty selected studentsand clubs that fit theserestrictions and sentthem applications intheir mailbox.

For the applicationthe students were towrite an essay aboutwhy they shouldreceive the award.

This year five stu-dents were nominatedand during the serviceLeeann Danley, a senior

elementary and specialeducation major, wasselected for the award.

Before announcingthe winners, Dave Cal-vario, dean of studentsand director of the Cen-ter for Service Leader-ship quoted a part ofeach candidates’ essay.

In Danley’s essay shesaid “I try to see Jesusthrough his most cleverdisguise.”

For the Group Awardthere were three nomi-nees. The winning clubwas Colleges AgainstCancer.

Kaitlyn Karan a sen-

ior nursing major andKellie Hardie the direc-tor of housing acceptedthe award.

The service endedafter Ruston Seaman,executive director ofNew Vision RenewableEnergy gave a messagecalling to “light it up.”

Not only did Seamanpresent what NewVision has done, but hetold how God changedthe course of his lifewith a twisted ankle,which took his dreamsof becoming a NBA bas-ketball player.

“When God speaks,

things change-Amen?”said Seaman.

Before he startedpreaching he had toldthe congregation that inWest Virginia when thepreacher said some-thing the congregationliked, they respondedwith an “Amen.”

The “Amens” werescarce at first, but bythe end of the message,they were loud andstrong.

The service endedwith the song, ”ThisLittle Light of Mine” atune that lifted the spir-its of the congregation.

cial treatment of its stu-dents.

“One thing we workvery hard at Waynesburgis that we have one of thelowest tuitions for a pri-vate college in this state.We think it’s important togive them a high qualityeducation – challengethem to make a differencein their life – but we alsoknow we have to beresponsible in terms ofwhat we are chargingthem,” said Thyreen.“That’s why we only usetuition increases that arenecessary, we’re very cau-tious with them and wewant to continue to beone of the least expensiveprivate colleges in thestate and in the country.”

Senior Vice Presidentfor Finance and Adminis-tration Roy Barnhartbelieves that WaynesburgUniversity has been amodel of fiscal responsi-bility for quite some timebecause of the consistent-ly low tuition rate.

“Waynesburg has along history of trying toget the most value for thedollar spent in regards tothe opportunities we pro-vide to our students incomparison to the tuitionrate that we charge,”Barnhart said.

Barnhart reiterated

Thyreen’s comments thatthe University is still ableto provide quality facultyand facilities while beingone of the lowest-costingschools in Pennsylvania.

“We strive to be veryefficient in the use oftuition dollars. Every-thing from being carefulabout buying our naturalgas and electricity to han-dle the buildings – we’reeven careful with that,”said Barnhart.

In fact, Barnhart saidthat the PurchasingDepartment has managedto lower the cost of natu-ral gas purchases for thelast three years due to theMarcellus Shale and acompetent understandingof the trends of the natu-ral gas market.

These savings havebeen used to fund facultymembers and educationalprograms.

Barnhart said that Way-nesburg’s fiscal stabilityshould be a calling card toprospective students andshould be reassuring tocurrent students even inthis consistently down-trodden economy. Hehighlighted Waynesburg’sStover Scholars programand the Service-Learningprogram as examples offiscal responsibility.

“By in large, if we werean institution that wasnot fiscally responsible,we couldn’t afford to pro-vide the ‘extras,’ so tospeak,” said Barnhart.

Barnhart also pointedout that during the eco-

nomic recession in Amer-ica, Waynesburg’s enroll-ment did not decline atthe same rate that thecompetitor’s enrollmentdid. He believes that Way-nesburg’s low tuition wasattractive to many seekersof higher education duringthat time period.

“The recession causedfolks to look for the val-ues,” Barnhart said.

“We’re a value leader. Weoffer very good education-al opportunities for theprices that we charge. Ithink that made us moreevident to folks becausethe recession caused themto look at us harder and asa result we didn’t sufferenrollment declines likeother schools did. Sincewe didn’t suffer enroll-ment declines, our rev-

enues remained relativelystable.”

Because of Waynes-burg’s ability to keep itstuition cost as low as pos-sible, Thyreen suggeststhat students at the Uni-versity don’t need toworry about the upcom-ing state budget thatcould affect higher educa-tion in Pennsylvania.

“I think Waynesburg

students, because wework so hard on keepingour price down, probablyhave less to worry aboutthan other schools,”Thyreen said. “I thinkthat Waynesburg, becausewe are very cost effectiveand because we want tobe good stewards of theresources that are given tous, we are being seen asmodels.”

Sitting outside of Eberly Library, freshman psychol-ogy major Katlin Denny notices people coughing orsneezing or blowing their noses.

She recognizes the symptoms that seem to show uparound the same time each year: allergies.

For Denny, the weather changes are more of a prob-lem than for most students.

At 16, Denny was diagnosed with asthma. In addi-tion, she has chronic cryptic tonsillitis – meaning shehas crevices in her tonsils that can build up of food andmucus, causing tonsil stones.

“I notice a severe increase in sore throats and tonsilstones, and some mornings I wake up literally speech-less from the constantly changing hot and cold weath-er,” she said.

The weather changes affect students without asth-ma as well to a certain extent, even though not asseverely, said Nurse Director Carol Young.

“The major shift in temperatures this season isbringing on the allergy season much earlier than usual;the budding of the trees and flowers increases theamount of pollen in the air,” Young said.

According to Web MD, an online medical informa-tion source, the majority of people attribute their aller-gy symptoms to pollen when it is more likely thatweather changes in general cause the symptoms.According to the website, treatment will vary if thecause is weather or pollen.

“Is it due to viruses, humidity, cold temperatures?[We need to] evaluate the condition as a whole,”Jonathan Bernstein, MD, a professor of clinical medi-cine at the University of Cincinnati said on the site.

Although Denny enjoys the weather heating up, sheis constantly concerned about how the weather willaffect her health as well as the health of the peoplearound her.

“I enjoyed driving around with my windows downand being able to wear my sunglasses, but after a whileI just wanted to have the usual spring weather back,”she said.

“The heat started to get almost too extreme andmade classrooms muggy and uncomfortable to sit in.

On April 3, YellowJacket Region EditorKyle Edwards was rec-ognized by theWomen’s Press Club asa runner up in theclub’s annual GertrudeGordon Writing Con-test.

According to a flyerabout the contest,$2,000 in prize moneywill be awarded to thethree contest winnersfor writing a deadlinefeature story aboutArtistic Director KarlaBoos of Quantum The-atre.

As a co-runner up,Edwards is unaware ofhow much money hewill receive at theupcoming annual din-ner held at the Rivers

Club in One OxfordCenter in Pittsburgh,but he said that theprize money isn’t reallyan issue.

“The money does notmatter,” said Edwards.

“It’s going to be ahuge honor to receivethe award. I neverexpected to receive it,that’s for sure.”

Edwards said this isthe second consecutiveyear he participated inthe Gertrude GordonWriting Contest.

Last year, he did notplace, but he credits hissuccess this year to anextra year’s worth ofexperience.

“With a little bitmore experience fromthe magazine and fea-ture writing class, Iapplied what I learnedto write the type of arti-

cle I thought they werelooking for,” saidEdwards.

“Last year I didn’thave that experience.”

That prize winningarticle focused on theuniqueness of Boo’scareer and the Quan-tum Theatre as awhole.

The Quantum The-atre performs at venuesthat make audience

members connect withthe players by takingthe audience out of itscomfort zone.

This is achieved bythe company’s unchar-acteristic set designs inunusual environments,like in a wide open ter-rain on a scorching hotor rainy day.

“The goal of holdingthese plays in out-of-the-ordinary places is to

try to overcome whatthe troupe calls the‘obstacles’ of a theatreexperience,” Edwardssaid.

With this journalisticachievement under hisbelt, Edwards is contin-uing to pursue a careeras a professional jour-nalist.

“I’d love to get a jobworking with the lay-out of a professionalnewspaper,” saidEdwards.

“It’s definitely myfavorite part of thenewspaper publicationprocess.”

As an editor for theYellow Jacket, Edwardsaspires to improve hiswriting style in order toobtain the position heseeks after graduatingnext spring.

“My number one

goal has always been tobetter myself as awriter and journalist,”said Edwards.

“As for the YellowJacket as a whole, I def-initely want tostrengthen the Regionsection. I feel that nextyear I will be in a bet-ter, more experiencedposition to achieveboth of those goals.”

Even with all of thesefuture plans, Edwardswants to embrace hisrecent laud and enjoythe celebration thatwill take place April 21in Pittsburgh.

“I’m honored thatthe Women’s PressClub chose my articleas the co-runner up,” hesaid.

“I am looking for-ward to the dinner withgreat anticipation.”

culture of the New Jerseyshore. The band was orig-inally an acid rock band.However, they followedthe genre without thechemical influence otherbands were using duringthe sixties.

At its beginning GNPwas a unique band due toits female lead singer andlight show. These charac-teristics set GNP apartfrom the majority ofbands during the time andhelped the band find ahome in Waynesburg.“The light show got usthe gig,” said Molzon. TheCreative Idea took toGNP because of the lightshow.

Much like the movieThe Blues Brothers, theband assembles its mem-bers from around thecountry. The tag line,“We’re getting the bandback together,” emulatesthe idea of the band’s year-ly gathering. GNP doesn’tassemble unless the bandhas a show to play.

Since GNP’s first per-formance at Waynesburgstudents have taken partin the concert, a portion ofwhich return each year toGNP as alumni. Through

these students and newparticipants, GNP hasgrown into a renownedshow with loyal attendeesfrom the town and sur-rounding area. “I wouldlove to return. There’s astrong sense of communi-ty that the town getsinvolved in. I don’t knowof anywhere else doingsomething like that,” saidDerek Cummins, seniorarts administration majorwho has attended the con-cert since he was a fresh-man. Alumni can returnto a part of their time atcollege that most gradu-ates don’t experience.

“They have the chance todo what they did as stu-dents. Rather than gettingtogether for a classreunion to talk aboutback-in-the-day stories,”said Molzon. The mem-bers of GNP reunite tomake new stories withtheir friends.

Out-of-towners willarrive the week of theshow and rehearse in thedays before the concert. Amyriad of musical per-formances including blue-grass, country, rock andjazz, now constitute theGNP concert, “GNP,”Molzon said, “is like a

Ponderosa buffet: you canpick and choose what youwant.” Cummins said,“It’s like a cumulativetime capsule from 1970until now. Every year weput more stuff in thereand every year we putmore stuff back.”

GNP is a growing lega-cy with over forty years ofhistory behind it andmaintains loyal fans andperformers. GNP’s eclec-tic mix of music and com-munity are sure to inter-est and reward anyonewho attends with theexperience of a 42 yeartradition.

Reiber, one of thenursing majors in atten-dance, felt privileged tobe recognized.

“It was really nice tosee that the mayor andthe Borough cared aboutthat day and all of thestudents that wereinvolved. I think that ifCami and Alissa wouldhave been here theywould have felt reallyhonored to know that thetown of Waynesburg isgrateful for what theyhave done,” Reiber said.

“In the meeting it wasnice how the mayoracknowledged us stu-dents as members of thetown regardless of whereour hometown is.”

Zimmerman decidedto recognize the studentsbefore the regularlyscheduled meeting beganbecause he did not wantthem to have to stay forthe entire meeting.

Rempel and Bamfordsaid they integrated theirpassion and love for dogswith the dream of comingone step closer to a worldwithout cancer.

“Canine companionsoffer a vital role in thetreatment of cancerpatient,” said Bamford,“Man’s best friend hasbeen offering uncondi-tional love to people bat-tling cancer and Bark forLife honored their sup-port.”

Bamford planned thisevent in honor of her bestfriend Melissa Monk, oneyear anniversary of beingcancer free, and also for allloved ones fighting everyday.

“Planning an event ofthis magnitude is nevereasy,” said Bamford.“Although it is a walk inthe park compared towhat people diagnosedwith cancer have toendure.”

The day started at 9a.m. with registration dur-ing that time participantsenjoyed browsing localvendors and listened tomusic from WCYJ-FM.

Around 10 a.m. partici-pants and their dogs gath-ered along the trail and

DeWeese thanked hismom, dad, sister, broth-er-in-law, nephew,niece and girlfriend forhaving a strong, durableand ultimately positiveattitude through thepast months. He did notstop with his immedi-ate friends and family,but thanked all those herepresented in the 50thLegislative District.

“We are all endeavor-ing to do our best. Mis-takes are made, andthat is where humility

comes in,” DeWeesesaid in his farewelladdress. “I am not ashumble as I want to be,but I am a lot morehumble than I used tobe.”

DeWeese finished hisspeech thanking otherrepresentatives of thehouse – staff and mem-bers alike.

“His speech wasabout him. It wasn’tabout the constituents.I never heard an apolo-gy,” said Mark Fischer,who is seeking the GOPnomination in the pri-mary. “I think that isbad – there should havebeen an apology.Whether he wants toadmit guilt or not, he

should have apologizedfor the situation.”

Fischer, who thinksthe situation surround-ing DeWeese isdeplorable, believesDeWeese’s interestswill overshadow theneeds of the people he isrepresenting.

“If you look past thepolitical theater, thebottom line is that wehave no representation,and that is the responsi-bility of DeWeese forplaying that scenarioout this way,” said Fis-cher.

If DeWeese runsthrough the primary, hecould step down and

I am sick and tired of hearingabout books that are being placedon these “banned book lists.”

We’ve all heard about the “con-troversial” titles that are con-stantly being challenged and/orplaced on banned book lists inschools and communities acrossthe country. Titles like “Catcherin the Rye” and “Brave NewWorld” have been the target ofconstant outrage and discontentsince they were first published.

Now the proponents of these atro-cious “do not shelve” lists are set-ting their sights on “The HungerGames.” Each year the AmericanLibrary Association releases itsannual report on the state of thenation's libraries, and a highlightincludes the books that are chal-lenged and/or banned in commu-nities all across the country. Thelist is based on the number ofchallenges filed in the librariesand school districts of these com-munities – 326 of them last year –and compiled annually by theALA. The general objections tend

to fall under the large categories ofracism, sex and religion.

For 2011, “The HungerGames” came in third on the list,just beating out “My Mom’s Hav-ing A Baby! A Kid’s Month-by-Month Guide to Pregnancy,” byDori Hillestad Butler. Coming infirst and second were the “ttyl”series by Lauren Myracle and“The Color of Earth” series byKim Dong Hwa.

“The Color of the Earth” isabout a single mom and her youngdaughter discovering her own sex-uality, and “ttyl” is a novel writ-ten entirely in the form of instantmessage conversations. Tell me,what else besides a raging fear ofsomething that you can’t under-stand could be the cause for ban-

It’s official: Google istaking over the world.

First, of course, thereis the search engine. Iguarantee nine out of 10people reading this col-umn Google somethingevery day.

I use Google severaltimes a day. In fact, itwas a Google search thatlead me to this columntopic.

Then there is theextremely wide net ofresearch projects thatGoogle is currently con-ducting. They are a littlemore cutting edge thansearch engines and

emails, if you ask me. There are the self-

driving cars that havealready hit the streets fortesting in California.There’s the Google Gog-gles app that lets userssearch for anything justby snapping a photo.

In addition, Google isreportedly working on aspace elevator.

Yep, a space elevator –

how cool would that be?If it actually worked, Imean.

That being said, thefuture is here. Googlejust reveled a new sci-fiinnovated research proj-ect that is bound toshake up the world oftechnology: ProjectGlass.

I like the ring of it. Itmakes me think of acovert mission and X-Men a little bit. Is thatrandom?

Anyway, Project Glassis just a cool name say-ing that Google inventedglasses that could make

cell phones extinct. I don’t see that hap-

pening, but the idea isthere, and the technolo-gy that Google imple-mented through thisproject will undoubtedlychange the future.

The glasses them-selves can give youdirections, tell you howfar away your friends are,accept chats, send textmessages, take pictures,reserve concert ticketsand much, much more –and I got all of this froma preview.

The message read,“Bomb - Room 213”and everyone took itseriously.

As the fire alarmblared in the hallway,all the students of theFreedom Area HighSchool filed out intothe courtyard only toquickly be led downinto the nearby middleschool building.

None of the studentsknew what was hap-pening, but in a smallschool word spreadspretty fast.

Everyone immedi-ately began to guesswho was responsible,but no one could say

for sure. An entire day of

school was lost.And no one was ever

accused, ever chargedor ever caught.

In the 13 years I wasa part of the FreedomArea School District,this was the only threatwe ever endured.

Although this daybecame one that Iwould never forget, noteveryone shares this

Since mid-February,more than 50 bombsthreats have been madeagainst the Universityof Pittsburgh.

Some days, morethan three or fourthreats were madeagainst the University.

I don’t know aboutyou, but that isabsolutely incredible tome.

Point Park Universi-ty received a similarthreat on Monday that

forced the university toshut down the build-ings on campus.

But Pitt and PointPark are no longeralone in these threats.

The California Uni-versity of Pennsylvaniais the most recent uni-versity to be threat-ened.

Broadcast earns money for Mini Relay for LifeCollege bomb threats hit close to home

Banninglibrary booksis illogical

University radio station staff members BrandonReed and Steve Hullings are hosting the third annu-al 24-hour radio broadcast from 6 p.m. Thursday,April 12 until 6 p.m. Friday, April 13.

The event is a unique way to raise funds for 99.5The Hive’s Mini Relay for Life team. Reed andHullings will have to stay awake for the entire 24hours and have their friends bring them food.

The two students are not the only ones to devotetime and energy to the cause. Other students andcommunication alumni will also take air shiftsthroughout the 24 hours, providing non-stop musicand entertainment for those who tune in to the sta-tion. It’s great to see students, alumni and facultycome together to plan and volunteer so they canmake events such as this broadcast possible.

Last year, the station raised more than $2,000 forthe 24-hour broadcast. The goal this year is $1,200for the broadcast and $1,400 total for the station’sMini Relay team. The radio station is just one of themany teams participating in this year’s Mini Relay.

Mini Relay for Life is the shorter version of theregular event, where teams of Waynesburg Universi-ty departments and organizations will raise moneyand walk to fight cancer. The money that partici-pants raise is donated to cancer patients and cancerresearch. The event allows students to spread aware-ness, celebrate the lives of cancer survivors andremember those who lost their lives to the disease.

Waynesburg University holds Mini Relay for Lifeevery April on campus so members of the commu-nity and students can join together to fight cancer,and the 24-hour broadcast will surely be a great help.

Waynesburg University President TimothyThyreen has noted that the University is recognizedfor being a positive example of fiscal responsibility.Schools emulate the university and try to follow itsexample. Amidst financial strife as the state and thePennsylvania Higher Education Assistance Agencycut funding to higher education, Waynesburg Uni-versity should, in fact, be emulated.

But looking past the university’s fiscal esteem onsuch a large scale, students can apply this integrity totheir own lives.

The university claims to have a reputation of get-ting the most they possibly can for their dollar.

Many graduates within the upcoming years willbe racked with student loans. They will be rackedwith debt. Applying this fiscal responsibility willhelp cut down some of the burden that immediatelybogs students down after they graduate.

Just as the university uses their assets to bring inmoney or protects their property to save money, stu-dents should figure out every possible way to savemoney. But not just save money, keep that moneyand pay off racking debt. This is a challenge for theuniversity too. If they truly want a reputation for fis-cal responsibility and integrity, they should providemore opportunities for students to learn about howto be financially responsible.

There should be more seminars and orientations.Financial responsibility should be stressed in theclassroom. For Waynesburg students to be an accu-rate depiction of their Alma mater, they must be justas responsible with their money. Along with a high-quality education, this is the greatest gift the Uni-versity can give its students: financial freedom.

ning these books?And “The Hunger

Games?” The straw thatbroke the camel’s backthere was a mother inNew Hampshire, whocomplained that thebooks gave her seventhgrade daughter constantnightmares and calledfor its instant removalfrom the middle school’slibrary shelves. She alsoaccused the book of hav-ing a lack of moralityand claimed that it couldinsight school violence.

Are you kidding me?Really?

Sure, it’s a book aboutteenagers being forced togo out and kill eachother for the pure satis-faction that it brings toothers. In the future. Ohand, in case you missedthe key word in thatbrief plot summary, itwas “FORCED.”

They were FORCEDto fight each other by thesick and twisted resi-dents of the Capitol, towhich they were, by allintents and purposes,enslaved. They wereFORCED to do thisevery year in order tokeep them fromrebelling against those

sick and twisted Capitolresidents, thereby ensur-ing that they remainedin their, for all intentsand purposes, enslavedstate. So unless schoolsacross America havebegun some sort ofdemented detention orafter-school sport pro-gram that I haven’t heardabout, the idea that thesebooks would “insightschool violence” isabsolutely ridiculous.Other books are placedon the “banned bookslist” for reasons like“religious viewpoint,”“sex” or “racism.” “TheHunger Games” wasplaced on the list at thatNew Hampshire middleschool because it causeda little girl to have night-mares. I fail to see thelogic there.

I fail to see the logic inplacing any books onthat awful list. Books are meant toexpand our minds,broaden our horizonsand give us a way toescape the harsh realityof everyday life. Explainto me how someonefeels they have the rightto take away someoneelse’s right to read a cer-tain book, just becausethey don’t believe it pro-motes a “good mes-sage?” Let the readerdecide if the message isright for them. That’s theway it should be.

afternoon and broughtin bomb-sniffing dogsand other police unitsto ensure the buildingswere clear.

Christine Kindl, CalU. spokesperson, saidthe threat was discov-ered at 2:30 p.m. andthat the note was hand-written.

By 9 p.m. on Tues-day, all the buildingswere declared clear.

Although the Uni-versities of Pittsburghand Point Park arelocated somewhatclose-by, this recentthreat on the Cal U.begins to ring a littletoo close to home.

No one is certainwhether these threatswere related, but withthe recent string ofthreats against otheruniversities this cannotbe ruled out either.

Whether the otherperson who created theoriginal threat againstPitt inspired theserecent threats, the situ-ation has begun toquickly spiral out ofcontrol.

What used to be con-

tained to a single cam-pus has begun to spreadout to other campusesacross western Penn-sylvania.

What started out as aproblem only at a verylarge University, isslowly seeping intoother smaller area cam-puses.

What started out as aproblem, far away issuddenly much closerto home.

Whatever the moti-vation is for the personsending these threats, Ihope they realize theextent of problems theyare causing.

Students from Pittare being forced to stayin hotels and extrapolice are beingbrought in to help withsecurity.

Regardless of moti-vations and conse-quences, I know thesethreats are completelyunnecessary and arecausing a lot of harm.

Pitt, Point Park andCal U. are all part of aproblem that needs toquickly come to a con-clusion.

In my four years atWaynesburg Universi-ty, no problems likethis have ever beenencountered.

Let’s just hope itstays that way.

The idea behind theseglasses is great, futuristicand impressive – it’s very“Iron Man.” You know?Because Iron Man’smask has remarkable,t e c h n o l o g i c a l l yadvanced features.

Okay. I’m done mak-ing comic book refer-ences for now.

The glasses them-selves might be more ofa problem than a trend.

Just watching thecommercial, I felt like I

would get a headachefrom wearing the glass-es.

The concept of beingable to take a picture ofwhat you see or auto-matically get directionsto the nearest bookstoreis great, but is it realis-tic?

Is it dangerous?People would proba-

bly wear them whenthey are driving andcause accidents. Textingand driving is enough ofan issue – do we reallyneed all of this technolo-gy right in front of oureyes?

People might just bewalking with the glasseson and not notice some-

thing right in front ofthem: another person, agaping hole in theground…who knows?

And Google is smart,so very smart.

They know that we’relazy. They know that themore that we can dowithout lifting a finger,the better. (Ever try touse magic to turn off thelights in your room?Been there, done that.)They are marketingright at our laziness –don’t be fooled.

So, while Google is inthe testing stage withthis product, I hope theytake the serious issuesthat the glasses couldcause into account.

And while you areconsidering buying theproduct, you should too.

Remember, with greatpower comes greatresponsibility.

Although the technol-ogy is far from ready atthe moment, the glassesare very much real.

So, in the very nearfuture every task that weperform could be inte-grated right into ourvisual field, but hey, wecould also be taking anelevator to space any daynow.

Before we know it“Star Trek” technologywill be a reality, and I betSpock will work atGoogle.

Reality television shows shoveling for ratingsHunting for buried

treasure - whether it's inthe ground, in an aban-doned storage locker orat the bottom of theocean - seems to be a pri-mal urge. But when doesdigging up your backyardcross the line into sully-ing the study of historyand culture?

According to somearchaeologists, two cableTV reality shows havedone just that. NationalGeographic's "Diggers"and Spike TV's "Ameri-can Digger" follow theexploits of the archaeo-logical equivalent ofbounty hunters who,with property owners'permission, dig andoccasionally blast theirway to underground arti-facts, which they hope tosell to collectors for prof-it. The issue here isn't somuch the legality of

what the diggers aredoing, but the ethics.

In the U.S., numerousfederal and state lawsprotect Native Ameri-can and other historicburial grounds, as well asarchaeological sites des-ignated as landmarks.But, there is no culturalpatrimony law in thiscountry that givesauthorities the right totake possession of anyfinds on private propertybecause they are histori-cally significant.

Archaeologists whohave criticized theshows aren't particularlyworried that Ric Savage,the former professionalwrestler turned star ofSpike TV's "AmericanDigger," is going tounearth another La BreaTar Pits or vestiges ofPocahontas' 17th-centu-ry wedding attire. Most

significant historic sitesin the U.S. are alreadyunder federal or statecontrol. In fact, some saythat the bullets and beltbuckles and shards ofpottery that the diggersfind are of meager valueto collectors and almostno value to museums.Nevertheless, there is areal danger, they con-tend, in damaging thesites and essentiallydestroying the historicrecord of where and howthe items are found.

Savage says he is alover of history, but he isalso a lover of entrepre-neurship and makingmoney, as are the SpikeTV executives. That'sfine. We believe thatpeople have a right to dowhatever lawful exca-vating of their ownflower beds that theywant. But we do wish

the producers of showsthat glorify it would seekout schooled archaeolo-gists to cast a watchfuleye and make records ofthe finds. National Geo-graphic TV is alreadyheading in this direction,having at least temporar-ily stopped airing itsshow until it has furthermeetings with archaeol-ogists.

Spike TV has vowedto continue withoutchanges. The science ofarchaeology, with con-tinually evolving tech-niques, is about researchand discovery and isoften about leavingthings in the ground. Assuch, it's at direct oddswith artifact diggers.

This week in history...By Nick FarrellEditorial Assistant

April 12, 1861

On this day in 1861, the blood-iest four years in American histo-ry began when Confederate sol-diers opened fire on Fort Sumterin South Carolina’s CharlestonBay.

The following day, U.S. MajorRobert Anderson surrendered thefort, an action that was promptlyfollowed by a proclamation fromPresident Abraham Lincoln call-ing for 75,000 volunteer soldiersto fight back against Southernaggression.

The Confederate attack on FortSumter launched the AmericanCivil War, the bloodiest conflictin U.S. history. After four years offighting, the Confederacy surren-dered after a total of 620,000 sol-diers were killed.

April 12, 1961

On this day 51 years ago, YuriAlekseyevich Gagarin of the Sovi-et Union became the first humanto venture into space. He wastransported into orbit aboard the“Vostok 1” and spent 108 min-utes in space.

This feat made Gagarin aworldwide celebrity, much to thedismay of the United States as thetwo nations were pitted in themidst of the “space race.” InAugust 1961, the Sovietslaunched “Vostok 2” and its pilot,Gherman Titov, into space. “Vos-tok 2” orbited Earth 17 times injust over a day.

April 8, 1974Thirty-eight years ago, Henry

“Hank” Aaron of the AtlantaBraves smashed his monumental715th home run, surpassing BabeRuth’s career home run record of

714. Aaron’s record-setting swingcame in the fourth inning of acontest against the Los AngelesDodgers in front of 53,000 fans atAtlanta’s 1974 home opener.

In the months leading up tothis imminent at-bat, Aaron, anAfrican-American baseball player,received vicious hate mail anddeath threats, but after sending AlDowning’s pitch over the left-cen-ter fence, Aaron was swarmed byteammates and celebrated themoment with his mother andfather.

Aaron retired from baseball in1976 after 24 years playing profes-sional baseball that included atwo-year stint in the NegroLeague. In 1982, Aaron wasinducted into the Baseball Hall ofFame and also assumed a role asan executive of the AtlantaBraves.

“There’s a huge vol-ume of water thatcomes down throughthere,” he said.

“Back in the day theywanted the rain to cleanout the sanitary system– now it is not thatway.”

Fayette Engineeringwill be very active in thecounty until the projectis completed, he said.

They will be runningnumerous tests to deter-mine which stormdrains lead to the sani-tary systems in GreeneCounty.

According toWermlinger, the pro-gram will be costly forthe county.

“We just got a$90,000 bill that we did-n’t know about,”Wermlinger said.

The state plans toreimburse 50 percent ofthe cost of the program,but the county isexpected to pay theother half of the funds.

“We’re talking aboutsome major bucks here– they’re telling me themost we can collect is50 percent. We’re goingto take a hit on that,” he

said. “Then three years

down the road we’regoing to have anotherhuge bill.”

The Council then dis-cussed changing S. EastSt. to a one waybetween Greene Streetand High Street. Resi-dents on the street haveexpressed concern relat-ing to lack of parking.

Currently, the streethas no parking on thewest side and is a two-way street.

The Council agreed tokeep the street a two-way street, but desig-nate a couple spaces onthe west side of thestreet to see if that helpsthe issue.

But according to Fis-cher, that is only onepossible scenario.

“His intent is to winthe appeal and win fivefelony convictions, andif he does win the elec-tion, [the district]would be without repre-sentation until May of2013,” said Fischer.

If DeWeese choosesto continue runninguntil the fall of theupcoming election, he

could also sit it out for aspecial election to beheld, costing the tax-payers.

“If he is sentenced onthe primary day, whenyou look at the time-frames and the cost, it isalmost not realistic inthe midst of a campaignto have a special elec-tion. We will be with-out representation fromthe time he is sentenceand convicted untilafter the Novemberelection,” said Fischer.“We desperately needrepresentation. We needthese things pushed—that needs to be thefocus. He has been incourt since the begin-ning of the year and isnot focusing on the con-stituents. The longer itgoes, the more damage

is done, and it is justbad.”

Girl scratched by stray cat in Waynesburg, undergoes treatment for rabiesBy Kyle EdwardsRegion Editor

Last week, the Pennsylva-nia Department of Agricul-ture confirmed a case ofrabies in Greene County.

According to the Depart-ment of Agriculture, a straycat scratched a 4-year-oldgirl on March 23 in Waynes-burg. This is the first report-ed case of rabies in GreeneCounty for 2012.

Last year, the county hadtwo reported cases of rabidraccoons.

According to Dr. ErinMoore, veterinarian for thePennsylvania Department ofAgriculture the girl’s motherhad noticed a stray cat wan-dering around their home forabout a month.

On March 23, as the girland her mother were walk-ing down the steps of theirfront porch, the cat cameout from under the stairsand scratched the girl.

“I believe animal control

was called and they killedthe cat shortly after,” Mooresaid. “Later, it tested posi-tive for rabies..”

Moore explained thatrabies is a virus that affectswarm-blooded mammals,including domestic and wildanimals and humans.

“If a mammal getsexposed to rabies – whichmeans they come in contacteither through a bite orscratch or splash of salivainto a cut, eye or mouth –the virus will begin tospread,” Moore said.

“From there, the virus hasto spread through the bodyand make its way up to thebrain. This process is calledthe incubation period, and itcan take anywhere from twoweeks to a year.”

Once the virus reachesthe brain, the disease is 99percent fatal, Moore said.Animals will start to exhibitbehavior change, start vocal-izing - screeching, yowling,etc. - and staggering around.

Since there is no knowncure for Rabies – and no wayto test for it in living ani-mals – it is almost alwaysfatal in animals.

Humans exposed to rabiesmust be treated as quicklyas possible.

Once a person begins toexhibit signs of the disease,survival is also rare, accord-ing to the Center for DiseaseControl.

Symptoms of rabiesinclude general weakness ordiscomfort, fever orheadache – all very similarto symptoms of the flu.

There may also be dis-comfort or a prickling sensa-tion at the site of the bite,progressing within days tosymptoms of cerebral dys-function, anxiety, confusionand agitation.

As the disease progresses,the person may experiencedelirium, abnormal behav-ior, hallucinations andinsomnia, according to theCDC.

An up-and-down sea-son continued for theWaynesburg baseballteam Tuesday when theYellow Jackets split a non-conference doubleheaderagainst visiting Kenyon.

The Jackets broke opena scoreless game one inwalk-off fashion, as juniorslugger Adam Horning’ssingle to left plated theonly run of the game togive the Jackets the win.

Senior Rob Baumgartelwas sharp on the moundfor Waynesburg, pickingup the win in his firstcomplete game of the sea-son to improve to 3-0. TheJacket hurler allowed onlyfour hits and no walks inseven innings of work toearn his first shutout ofthe season.

“Rob did well today,and I think all of our guyslike pitching at home,”said head coach MikeHumiston. “He seemed tobe focused today and didwhat we knew he wascapable of doing and what

we always thought hecould do and was on pointfrom start to finish.”

While Baumgartelhandcuffed the Kenyonbatters, a unit that bats.337 as a team on average,the Jackets offense took

their time feeling outLords pitcher Tyler Dierkeuntil they finally got ontrack in the bottom of theseventh.

First baseman BobbyHartman led off theinning by smacking a sin-

gle to shallow left fieldbefore senior NickBerdine’s bunt advancedthe junior cleanup man tosecond. Another well-placed bunt, this one bythird baseman TimChilcote, loaded up thebases for Waynesburgwith Horning coming tothe plate. The team’shome run leader got holdof a fastball and drove it toleft field to bring Hartmanin easily for the 1-0 victo-ry.

“I’m not really surewhy we broke throughthere in the seventh,” saidHumiston. “Typically,once you see a pitcher afew times, you figure outwhat he’s going to giveyou and can have a littlemore success. This guywas throwing a lot of fast-balls early on in the countand throwing a lot ofstrikes, so going up to theplate knowing that was abenefit. “

Coming off two straight wins,the Waynesburg men’s tennisteam looked to extend its win-ning streak to three games onTuesday. However, the YellowJackets were unable to claim avictory, losing 6-3 against aBethany team that was previous-ly winless in conference play.

“We all played terrible,” saidfreshman Colin Phillips. “I per-sonally didn’t play well, and weall could have played much bet-ter as a whole.”

In first doubles, the freshmen

duo of Isaiah Cochran andPhillips fell by a score of 8-4.

Waynesburg was able to tiethe match back up after an 8-5victory at second doubles by sen-ior Peter Mally and junior JonAnderson.

Coming off of six victo-ries in their last sevennonconference games, itappeared the youthfulWaynesburg softball teamwas on track to be one ofthe surprise stories of the2012 Presidents’ AthleticConference season. Aftera fourth-place finish inthe conference a seasonago, it appeared the fresh-man and sophomore

heavy team would be inthe running for a playoffspot once again.

Flash forward sixgames, though, and the

Jackets are currently win-less in the PAC and 11-13overall. The majority of ateam playing with a greatdeal of moxie and confi-

dence just a few weeksago is now facing adversi-ty at the Division III levelfor the first time.

“I think it’s been pretty

tough on the youngerkids,” said head coachLou Giachetti. “They aregetting a taste that it’s apretty good conference.Hopefully we will use [thelosing streak] as a learningtool.”

In my three years as theYellow Jacket’s sportscolumnist, I’ve alwaysbeen a list guy. Whether itwas another edition ofwhat to watch for or asimple notes column,that’s always been myfavorite style: cover a vari-ety of subjects with a fewquick paragraphs on each.

So for the first twoinstallments of my finaleseries, I’ve got a couple oftop five lists for you tomull over.

And if you disagreewith one of them or wantto offer up your own, feelfree. Post something onthe Yellow Jacket Sportssection Facebook page ortweet me @yjfloyd.

Here’s my list of thefive athletes I feel havebeen most successful (notnecessarily my favorites)during my time coveringWaynesburg Universityathletics…

5. Darryl Moore, Jr.;football; 2008-2011

As a defensive tackle forWaynesburg, Moorewreaked havoc for oppos-ing offenses and at timesseemed un-blockable.

A native of Boardman,Ohio, Moore played 40games for the Yellow Jack-ets. He racked up 176tackles (99 solo), 37.5 tack-les for loss and 19 sacks, togo along with two forcedfumbles and two fumblerecoveries.

Moore was a second-team All-Presidents’ Ath-letic Conference selectionin 2009 before going offduring his junior season.In 2010, Moore tallied 17tackles for loss and sevensacks in just 10 games. Hewas an All-PAC first-teamer for his perform-ance.

“Juice,” as he’s morecommonly known, againgarnered All-PAC first-team status this past fall.He also received both pre-season and postseason All-American applause in aseason in which the Jack-ets knocked off sixth-ranked Thomas More andearned a bid to the ECACSouth Atlantic Bowl.

With Easter on the hori-zon, the holiday had towait for the WaynesburgYellow Jacket tracksters asthey traveled to Marietta,Ohio, to participate in theDon Frail Invitational thispast Saturday.

This was the fourthconsecutive week that theJackets were in action.With that much activity,one would think that theywould become fatigued.

Think again.The Yellow Jackets had

arguably their best per-formance from both theirmen and women in thisscored event. The menscored 96 points, whichwas good enough for thirdplace out of 10 teams. Thewomen scored 118.5points in the eight-teamevent, which also earnedthem a third-place finish.

Head coach Jason Falvowas very excited to see hissquads perform the waythey did.

“We were awesome [onSaturday],” said Falvo.“We are fatigued but stillwere able to perform atsuch a high level.

“It has been great to seehow well we start run-ning,” he added. “Consec-utive weeks of track meetsdoes not affect us. Ourkids are so excited to runwhenever they get achance.”

When freshman ColinPhillips came to Waynes-burg in the fall, he wantedto play football, a game heloves, for the Yellow Jack-ets. However, as Phillipsis quick to admit, he has astrange relationship withthe sport because whenspringtime rolls around,Phillips would rather havea tennis racket in hishand.

“It just depends on thetime of year,” Phillipssaid. “If it’s spring, I defi-nitely love tennis. If it wasfall, I definitely love foot-ball.”

At his high school inhis hometown of Bexley,Ohio, Phillips played bothfootball and tennis. Hisbrother, now a Division IIItennis player at CalvinCollege in Grand Rapids,Mich., was an inspirationto him during high schooland again in college asPhillips made his transi-tion from football to ten-nis.

“We played a lottogether growing up andplayed doubles together,”said Phillips. “He was thereason I started playingtennis, and these past twoweeks I’ve looked to himfor some advice.”

When Phillips came toWaynesburg, he had theintention of focusing hisathletic talents on football

alone, but now he is amember of the Jacketmen’s tennis team andexpects to play throughhis senior year. Less thana month ago, Phillips andsome friends were playingon the tennis courts whenone of Phillips’ presenttennis teammates recog-nized his ability and invit-ed him to a practice. Sincethen, Phillips has been aproud member of theWaynesburg men’s tennisteam.

“I didn’t think when Iwent down there [to thetennis courts] that I wasgoing to play tennis,”Phillips said. “I just askeda guy on the team if Icould go hit with somefriends when they weredone with practice. Heinvited me to practice,and [after] two shots atpractice, I was on theteam.”

Phillips admitted thatthough he had no inten-tion of playing tennis atWaynesburg, he hasenjoyed his brief stint as atennis player.

“I love it,” said Phillips.“The guys are really nice,the coach is great, wehave a fun time at practiceand I already feel like apart of the team.”

As of Easter, Phillipshad played in three dou-bles matches and one sin-gles match for the Jackets.Phillips won his lone sin-gles match in straight setsagainst Benjamin Kastribaof Pitt-Greensburg. Allthree doubles matcheshave resulted in losses,but Phillips has beenhappy to play alongsidestandout freshman IsaiahCochran.

“My doubles partner[Cochran] and I play firstdoubles, so we play thetougher opponents,” saidPhillips. “That’s fun to seewhen I’m just getting intotennis, and its good prac-tice since we’re bothfreshman. That will bebeneficial as we gothrough to senior year.”

Though Phillipswalked onto the tennisteam, he was immediate-ly placed on that doublesteam with Cochranbecause doubles tennisfits his style of play.Phillips classifies himselfas a “serve and volleyplayer” and believes thathe and Cochran will makea great tandem if theycontinue playing together.

“Isaiah is really talent-ed; he has a lot of talentswith him in the tennis

game, and he’s really out-going as a person,”Phillips said. “It’s funsince we both know a lotabout tennis, and it’s easyfor one of us to correct theother in our faults.”

Phillips is thankful forthe fact that the entiretennis team has wel-comed its newest mem-ber into the family.

“The upperclassmenlike Jon Anderson, PeteMally and Jason Loganhave all been really bene-ficial,” Phillips said.“They’re really good atgetting the freshmaninvolved and bondingwith us. We all have fun.”

Though Phillips hasstruggled to choose onesport over another in thepast, he thinks his heart isfinally set on tennis.

“It’s definitely some-thing that I feel like I canstick with, and it’s some-thing that I really enjoy,”he said.

When asked about foot-ball, Phillips said that hethinks it’s time to hang upthe cleats and helmet inpursuit of tennis. Nowthat he has shifted hisattention to tennis,Phillips has high expecta-tions for himself and forhis teammates.

“I want to do whateverI can do to be the best andcan be the best for theteam,” said Phillips. “Iwould love it if we can allgrow as a team. We have asolid freshman group rightnow, and if we can getyounger guys next yearthat are great players, wecould take conferencewhen we are seniors.”

Germany.The Jackets were

unable to recover fromtheir 2-1 deficit after dou-bles play, as they onlywon two matches in thesingles portion of the con-test. These two winscame from the fourth andfifth singles players.

Anderson defeatedJared Roque in straightsets at fourth singles, 6-2,6-4. Logan also pulled outa victory in straight sets atfifth singles, 6-2, 6-0.

Coming off an abdomi-nal injury that made himmiss singles play againstPitt-Greensburg, Cochranwas defeated in straightsets, 6-3, 6-1. In a toughsecond singles match,Mally lost in three setsafter winning the first set6-2. He dropped the nexttwo sets by scores of 6-3,

6-4. Littlejohn also fell ina tough third singles bout,losing in straight sets 7-5,6-2. Freshman AlexTenenbaum lost instraight sets, too, 6-1, 6-4.

And as if this victorywas not important enoughbeing their first confer-ence win of the season,the Bison also have anoth-er reason to celebrate.

The 6-3 victory byBethany on Tuesdaymarks the first time theBison have defeated theJackets in over a decade,with the last win comingby the identical 6-3 scoreback on April 4, 2001.

“I think we were alldisappointed in the waywe played today,” Phillipssaid. “Luckily, we havetwo more matches leftbefore the PAC tourna-ment starts to pick up afew more wins.”

When Waynesburglacrosse head coach TomZacoi was hired two yearsago, he said he was hiredfor two reasons: to recruitand to win.

In Zacoi’s first year, hedirected the Yellow Jack-ets to a 1-8 record. Thisseason, Waynesburg’s cur-rent record stands at 1-7.

In the previous threeseasons before Zacoi washired, the Jackets went acombined 3-26.

While a 2-15 record injust less than two seasonsdoes not seem veryencouraging, Zacoi saidhe understands that turn-ing around a program doesnot just happen overnight.In order for Zacoi to turnthe losing fortunes of theJackets around, therecruiting must get better.

Part of the problem

Zacoi is running into ismany of the athletes herecruits end up not play-ing.

“I had eight kids comein this year’s recruitingclass, but only four kidsplayed,” Zacoi said.

“Hopefully they willcome back next year.”

Because of this, Zacoihas had to recruit aroundcampus and play playerswho have no priorlacrosse experience.

freshmen who have neverplayed, whereas otherschools have kids whohave played all there life,”he said.

In addition, Zacoi has

Freshman Byrum Louco has been impressing eversince he joined the men’s track and field team afterthe conclusion of the men’s basketball season, andlately, he has done it in multiple events. For hisefforts, Louco has been named the Yellow JacketAthlete of the Week.

That success continued for the freshman this pastweekend at the Don Frail Invitational at MariettaCollege on Saturday.

The first-year team member won the 400-meterhurdles and qualified for Eastern Collegiate AthleticConference Championships with a time of 55.36 sec-onds. He punched his second ticket to the ECACs byteaming up with freshman Lorenzo Mikulin, sopho-more David Cobb and sophomore Justin Angotti totake first in the 4x400-meter relay race. The groupcrossed the finish line in a school-record time of3:22.98.

Louco has been a consistent top-five finisher inboth events throughout the outdoor portion of theseason, and he is looking to be a contender at theupcoming PAC Championships near the end of themonth.

Both the men’s and women’s track and field teamsare back in action this Saturday in New Wilmington,Pa., when they take part in the Westminster Invita-tional.

soon as she stepped oncampus in August of2008.

A model of consistencyon offense, the East Berlinnative led the Jackets inscoring in each of her four

seasons. She finished hercareer with 43 goals and15 assists to eclipse thecentury mark in pointswith 101.

Along with the individ-ual success, Ebersolehelped lead the resurgenceof the women’s soccerprogram over the past twoseasons. The team madeit all the way to the PACChampionship this pastfall.

Ebersole was tabbed asa second-team All-PACselection after her fresh-man and sophomore cam-paigns and a first-teamAll-PAC pick followingher junior and senior sea-sons. She also was namedall-region twice, includinga first-team nod in 2011.

3. Wes White, Jr.; base-ball; 2007-2010

White was an all-every-thing player during histime in a Waynesburg uni-form. He could dazzle ondefense, steal a base, hitfor average and evensmash the occasional longball.

The Pittsburgh nativehad an especially impres-

sive final three seasons atWaynesburg. During thatspan, White never hitbelow .430 and reachedbase more than 50 percentof the time (98 walks cer-tainly helped that). Healso racked up 168 hits,scored 148 runs and stole67 bases.

White was a three-timefirst-team All-PAC selec-tion, a three-time all-region pick and a presea-son and postseason All-American his junior year.

2. Nick Garber;wrestling; 2007-2011

A local kid out of Way-nesburg Central HighSchool, Garber was justtwo victories shy of being

a three-time All-Ameri-can. But while Garberpicked up the elite honoronly one time, his careerwas certainly still full ofmajor accomplishments.

In what was one of theworst years in the historyof the wrestling program,Garber shined as a fresh-man in 2007-2008. Hetook home the PAC MostOutstanding Wrestleraward at the conferencechampionships beforeplacing third at regionals.

Over the next threeseasons, the wrestlingteam thrived under newhead coach Ron Headlee,and Garber continued toexcel, too. He qualified fornationals all three ofthose times, garneringAll-American status as ajunior. Garber also wonthree individual regionalcrowns and another PACindividual title.

1. Elisha Jones; basket-ball, track & field; 2007-2011

There have been multi-ple two-sport athletes atWaynesburg in recentyears, but none have beenas successful as ElishaJones. After four seasonson the hardwood and fourseasons with the javelinin hand, Jones left the uni-

versity as one of the mostdecorated athletes inWaynesburg history.

A graduate of Eisen-hower High School, Joneswas a significant postpresence in each of herfour seasons with thewomen’s basketball pro-gram. She averaged dou-ble digits in each of thoseseasons and was a four-time All-PAC selection.

That included a first-team nod following hersenior season, duringwhich Waynesburg tookhome the ECAC SouthTournament Champi-onship. Jones also set tworecords during her seniorcampaign: career blocks(150) and career field goalsattempted (455).

As a javelin thrower forthe track and field team,Jones may have been evenmore successful, at leaston a national scale. With asixth-place finish as a jun-ior in 2010, she becamethe program’s first evertwo-time All-American.

Honorable mentions:volleyball and lacrosseplayer Laurie Lindner(2005-2008), basketballplayer Hannah Hunter(2008-2012) and softballplayer Amanda Baugh-man (2008-2011).

Afterthat, he teamed up withfreshman LorenzoMikulin, sophomoreJustin Angotti and sopho-more David Cobb to winthe 4x400-meter relayrace. The group set thetime to beat at 3:22.98. Itwas not beaten, and they

placed first in the event.Falvo has been very

impressed by Louco’s per-formances early on in hiscollegiate career.

“With Byrum, weknew he was a great run-ner,” Falvo said. “We justare reaching his potentialin his events. The goal forhim is Division IIINationals.”

The field squad for the

men was not going to beovershadowed by thetracksters’ performance.Juniors Christian Jacksonand Doogie Sanner, mem-bers of the Waynesburgfootball team, had soliddays in their events. Jack-son placed fifth in boththe high jump and longjump with distances of1.82 meters and 6.48meters. Sanner, a graduate

of Uniontown HighSchool, was the top Divi-sion-III performer in thetriple jump and javelinwith third and fourth-place finishes. He leaped12.77 meters and heavedthe javelin 48.24 meters.

Junior Kurt Bonnet alsocontinued to impresswith a toss of 43.22meters in the discus,which was good enough

for third place.In the women’s events,

the team of junior MeganDonovan and freshmenHannah Derbis, AshleyCole and Kristen Sandersset a new school record inthe 4x400 relay. The newrecord now stands at4:13.52. This time wasgood enough to earn firstplace for the Jackets.

The distance squad forthe women also came upwith impressive perform-ances at the meet. Fresh-man Joy Talbot won the5,000-meter race with atime of 20:00.81. Sopho-more Annette Ahosnagged second place inthe same event with atime of 20:37.34. Sopho-more Tiffany Onifer took

Sophomore MadisonPresto continues to repre-sent the Waynesburgwomen’s golf team. Thispast Monday, the two-sport sophomore playedin the Mary Cleland Eck-les Invitational at theNew Castle CountryClub hosted by Westmin-ster College.

The par-72 course isknown for its fast greens,long fairways and steepslopes with a slope ratingof 129. The course is 6,657yards overall.

Last season, Presto fin-ished strong on this par-ticular course, placingfifth overall.

She finished this year’stournament tied for the20th place out of 47golfers. Presto posted a

strong front nine score of48 but struggled on theback nine, shooting a 53for a final score of 101.

Presto was 18 strokesoff the leader, Morgan

Miller of Seton Hill. Presto is the only stu-

dent listed on thewomen’s roster for Way-nesburg. As a result, shehas to practice alone and

also has the pressure ofbeing the sole representa-tive for the university atevery golf outing.

“It’s a little hard topractice and prepare whenyou don’t have a team-mate that you can call upand ask if they want to gogolfing or find a drivingrange close to us,” Prestosaid. “But whenever I findtime, I usually call up[men’s golfer Colin Wil-son] anyways, so it kind ofworks out.”

Even though she isalone on the course as faras teammates go, Presto’scompetitive spirit is onethat cannot easily bematched.

“Because of the littlepractice I get, it makes methat much more deter-mined to make sure I getthe most out of everyround and every shot,”Presto said.

Presto will be back inaction Monday, as shelooks to improve at theWashington and JeffersonSpring Invitational.

“I am saddened that Ican’t get those kids frommy school district where Istill coach during thesummer to come look atWaynesburg,” he said.

However, the futuremay not seem as bleak asit sounds. Next year,Zacoi is bringing in fourrecruits from four differ-ent areas: Columbus, St.Louis, Erie and Philadel-phia. Two of thoserecruits, Zacoi said,should make an immedi-ate and significant impact.

What is more, Zacoisaid he is trying to get for-mer recruits to return tothe team.

“I am trying to bringback girls who did notplay in the past but weresupposed to play,” he said.

Furthermore, the Jack-ets have a realistic shot atsetting a new programrecord for wins in a seasonin 2012. (The previousrecord of two was set in2009.)

“This year’s team is thebest team we have fieldedin the five years of thisprogram,” Zacoi said.

The Jackets play WestVirginia Wesleyan (2-9),Urbana (1-10) and Thiel(4-6) to finish out the sea-son.

“Our competition therest of the season is moreon our level, so we areexpecting ourselves towin,” said sophomoredefender MorganDesmond.

Zacoi said he is urginghis players to take advan-tage of the opportunity torewrite the record booksthis season.

“I talked to the seniorsthis week and asked themto remain positive andencouraging the rest ofseason,” he said. “If wecan do that, we can runthe table the rest of theyear. We are going to do itone catch, one pass, onegroundball and one shot ata time.”

at the hands of Westmin-ster, a team unbeaten inconference play. TheTitans moved their win-ning streak to 10 by blast-ing Waynesburg 12-1 ingame one and then used anine-run fifth inning todrop the Jackets 10-3 ingame two.

“Westminster rightnow is really unbelievablyhot,” Giachetti said.

To make mattersworse, Jackets ace pitcherCarrie Maier was hit inthe wrist by a Titans linedrive in game one andforced to leave the gameearly.

“I think she is going tobe okay,” Giachetti said.“She took a line drive inthe wrist. Initially, Ithought it would beworse. Hopefully she willbe able to go on Wednes-day.”

Freshman pitcher JennLingg came in to replaceMaier and gave up sevenruns (two earned) on 10hits in five innings ofwork as the Jackets wenton to drop game one 12-1.

Jacket shortstopRachael Moon led theJackets offense in gameone by going 2-for-3 witha solo home run.

After taking a 3-2 leadinto the bottom of the

fifth in game two, West-minster put up nine runsin the bottom half of theinning to take a com-manding 10-3 lead. Fresh-man Haley Payne, whohadn’t pitched since theteam’s spring break trip toFlorida, did a solid jobuntil that fifth inning.

“I think she did out-standing until thatinning,” Giachetti said.“We had some walks, andthey got extra at-bats, andwe paid for that.”

Payne took the loss,going 5.2 innings, allow-ing five runs on five hitsand walking six batters.

The Jackets offense did

produce eight hits ingame two, including twofrom a trio of players,sophomore second base-man Shannon Falleroni,freshman centerfielderShelby Tabrosky andPayne.

Sophomore outfielderJasmine Blackwell, one ofthe Jackets top players,just returned to the lineupafter missing nearly amonth with an ankleinjury, and she talkedabout how the Easterbreak might help theteam refocus.

“I think what we reallyneeded was a break,”Blackwell said. “We just

needed time to mentallyregroup. I think it is reallygoing to help us cometogether as a team.”

Blackwell got off to afast start in Florida, hit-ting a home run in herfirst at-bat, but had beensidelined since late in thattrip. She had been waitinganxiously through the six-game winning streak andnow the losing streak thathas followed.

“It was really hard forme to watch,” she said. “Iwas happy [during thatwinning streak]; we werereally coming together.We started losing rightbefore I came back, so it

was kind of bad timing.”Blackwell said she

hopes that the tough startto conference play moti-vates them and hasn’twritten off a return to theplayoffs quite yet. TheJackets went 8-8 in PACplay last year to grab thelast spot.

It would take a remark-able turnaround to get to8-8, but Giachetti isn’twriting that off, either.

“We could easily be 3-3right now,” he said. “Wehave Saint Vincent com-ing in at 6-0 in the PAC.They are leading the con-ference in ERA. We justneed to get better and play

like we know we can.” Giachetti credits the

fight and resiliency of histeam, while he also saidhaving Blackwell and Fall-eroni at full strengthshould bring stability tothe lineup.

That home double-header against first-placeSaint Vincent was sup-posed to be played yester-day afternoon; however,due to the threat ofinclement weather, it willbe played this afternoonat 3:30 p.m.

The Lords exploded outof the gates, knocking inthree runs in the firstbefore the Jacketsresponded with two oftheir own to cut thedeficit to one. It was asclose as they would getthough, as Kenyon scoredthree runs in both thethird and fourth inningsto open up a 9-2 lead.Berdine’s longball over theleft field fence, his first ofthe season, made it 9-3after four innings, butKenyon poured in fourmore runs in the sixth

after a scoreless fifth toclose out the scoring at13-3.

Berdine went 2-for-3 atthe plate for the secondstraight game to lead theJackets, while the teamstruggled to find offensefrom anywhere else, man-aging only six hits inseven innings.

“We are having troubleadjusting, and it is some-thing we work on a lot inpractice and talk about alot, but today we just flatout didn’t do it,” saidHumiston. “They hit the

ball well in the secondgame, and they are a verygood team, but we didn’tdo what we wanted in thesecond game.”

Freshman Sean Boyleearned his first careerstart on the mound forWaynesburg, working twoinnings while giving upfive hits and three runs,all earned. From there, itwas a turnstile at the rub-ber for the Jackets, withfive other pitchers eachgetting in on the action,none of which had muchsuccess. Chilcote finally

came over from third tohurl the final 1.1 innings,giving up zero hits andzero runs.

“We talked about Boylestarting and wanted to gettwo or three innings outof him and then go withsome other guys who had-n’t gotten a lot ofinnings,” said Humiston.“We have some big seriescoming up, and we aretrying to see if some guyswill step up from a pitch-ing standpoint. I thinktwo guys in Chilcote—getting outs when he

needed to—and [fresh-man] Cody Scruggs did agreat job.”

The split brings Way-nesburg’s record to 16-10overall as the team main-tains fourth place in thePresidents’ Athletic Con-ference.

With theiracademic careers wind-ing down, both are tryingto take advantage of theirlast few months at theschool. Both are heavilyinvolved in music, and itis only fitting that theirfavorite concert at Way-nesburg also turned outto be their last.

The Waynesburg Uni-versity Music Programpresented its spring jazzand percussion concerton Monday, April 9 inthe Goodwin PerformingArts Center. Goodwinand Cummins both per-formed at the concert,and they agreed that itwas their most enjoyableperformance to date.

“It was definitely themost fun I’ve ever hadplaying a concert here atWaynesburg, and thiswas my eighth,” said

Goodwin, who playedpiano during the per-formance. Cumminsplayed the drums at theshow and agreed with hiscounterpart wholeheart-edly.

“I’ve played sevenconcerts here, and I can’tremember having thatgood of a time before,”Cummins said. “It wasjust really unique, and I

had a blast.”Monday’s concert

deviated slightly fromthose in the past, whichwas a surprise to mostaudience members, butnot to those performing.

“We played a lot ofAfrican music with adrummer from Ghana,”Cummins said. “It wasreally interesting to getto play that sort of

music. It differs frommost of the jazz we usu-ally play because Africanmusic is really rhythmbased, and we hadn’t hada lot of exposure to it.But it was a great experi-ence.”

Many students head-ed home last Thursdayfor their four-day SpringBreak. As a result, theUniversity did not havemany activities over theweekend for the remain-ing students to partici-pate in.

Because the Universi-ty was closed duringEaster break the amountof there were no activi-ties planned for studentsthat were still on cam-

pus. Not only was there no

celebration for Easter,there were no activitiesat all on campus.

On weekendsthroughout the schoolyear there have beenconcerts, plays, cook-outs and even pig roasts.

Over Easter weekendhowever, the campusseemed more like aghost town than a Uni-versity.

On Good Friday, thefirst day of vacation forstudents, the entire Uni-

versity was closed torecognize the holiday.

Some students didstay for the weekend,though, because thetravel distance wouldhave been too far foronly four days.

For these students,the weekend wasuneventful and unfes-tive.

Alfonso Ferrari, afreshman sports broad-casting major, was onestudent who had to stayon campus for Easter.

His hometown is in

Tuscon, Ariz., so theflight across the countrywas too long for fourdays.

“I just hung out in myroom and ate Ramen allweekend,” Ferrari said.

For Ferrari, the week-end was lonely, and hewished that he wouldhave been able to cele-brate Easter with hisfamily and friends, or, atthe very least, with theremaining students onWaynesburg Universi-ty’s campus.

Without any activi-

ties going on, many ofthe remaining studentsstayed in their dormsand used the free time tocatch up on work beforethe semester comesdown the home stretch.

According to Ferrari,the weekend was a greatway to regenerate andtake a breathe.

“It was nice torecharge the batteries forthe rest of the semes-ter,” Ferrari said.

With most studentsheading home the dormrooms were deserted as

well. Ferrari said that itfelt like there were atotal of 10 people inThayer Hall. Thayer isone of the male dormson campus and housesup to 126 students andsome staff.

Though not muchhappened over the week-end, the jazz and percus-sion concert took placeon Monday evening.

Activities on campuslook to return alongwith the students evenwith finals week not faroff.

April 11.“There will be

rehearsals the day of[Waynesburg’s BestDance Crew], prior tothe event,” Nimal said.

The judges providingfeedback for the eventwill be Criminal Justiceand Social SciencesChair Adam Jack, Assis-tant Professor of Psy-chology Jenny Jellisonand junior Shawn Whar-rey, according to CaraPetrone, freshman foren-

sic science major, who isthe Burns Hall thirdfloor Student Senate rep-resentative.

A familiar face will behosting Waynesburg’sBest Dance Crew,Petrone said.

After a successfulstint as Deal or No Dealhost, sophomore NickFarrell returns to hostWaynesburg’s BestDance Crew.

Petrone is looking for-ward to “listening to thejudges and seeing peoplecome together to make afunny dance.”

Petrone said she hopesthat students will not beafraid to get out of theircomfort zones whenthey dance.

“Hopefully this yearwill get people interestedso next year it canbecome an annualevent,” she said.

Shelby Tabrosky,freshman sports broad-casting major, will be inone of the crews per-forming a dance on thenight of the event.

“It is like a hip-hop-rap-freestyle dance,” shesaid.

Tabrosky’s crew willbe made up of “five peo-ple plus a possible dee-jay, who will not dancebut stand off to the sideand act as a deejay,” shesaid.

She said she has a lotof friends encouragingher to dance for WBDC.

“I love dancing. I don’tcare what I look like, ifI’m bad or good, if Iembarrass others, justlove to dance,” Tabroskysaid.

“It always makes mehappy too, to hear a songand be able to dance to itlike it’s nothing. If it isnot fun, make it fun.”

Tabrosky hopes Way-nesburg’s Best DanceCrew will bring audiencemembers “a lot oflaughs,” and she hopesto inspire people to learnhow to dance.

“With the crew, weare all fun and enjoydancing, so as long as wehad fun doing the show,that’s all that matters,”she said.

The SAB researchesand listens to a variety ofCDs o find musicians toplay at Waynesburg.

Beam says, “We likedCurtis People’s music,and that’s what made uswant to bring him here.”

In addition to Peoples’entertainment, the SABserved root beer floats inspecial Waynesburg Uni-versity cups.

Denny Hall ResidentDirector Aimee Spicuzzasaid that the root beerfloats and the perform-ance work well together.

“It’s just somethingfun and easy to incorpo-rate with the musician,”Spicuzza said.

Spicuzza feels that itis important for studentsand faculty to experi-ence music throughoutthe day, and not just atnight, which is when

concerts are generallyheld.

“Noon Tunes is agood opportunity for stu-dents to experiencemusic during the day.”

Located at the BeeHive and centeredaround lunchtime, stu-dents and faculty seeNoon Tunes as a relax-ing escape from dailystress and classes.

“I think it is veryrelaxing and a nice stressreliever in the middle ofthe day,” said freshmanforensic chemistrymajor, JoHanna Phillips.

“I really enjoy musicand root beer, but not icecream.”

A large audience ofstudents and facultyattended Noon Tunes,and many members ofthe audience enjoyed theentertainment providedby Peoples.

Phillips really enjoyedthe performance andsaid that she would goto see People’s if he everperformed on campusagain.

“He is beautiful witha great voice and sooth-ing music,” Phillipssaid. “Plus the root beerwas very root beery.”
