Ultimate Frisbee club honors late friend and teammate______________________BY KATE SHELDONfor the Cal Times

____________________________

On Fri., April 11, California University of Pennsylvania’s Ultimate Frisbee team was away at Saint Vincent College for a game that was held in memorial of Garrick Lackey, a student who passed away in a car accident last semester.

Lackey was involved in nu-merous organizations on cam-pus, including Student Govern-ment, Student Activities Board and the Ultimate Frisbee club.

Andy McLynch and Joe Ter-rana were two of Lackey’s team-mates and friends that helped set up this game to contribute to his scholarship fund.

Terrana, a junior and busi-ness major, said that Saint Vin-cent’s Ultimate Frisbee team

approached him about hosting this game.

“Saint Vincent came to me and asked if we wanted to do this with them and they told me about the donation jar they were having for Garrick’s schol-arship,” Terrana said. “I talked to our club about it and we were all really interested in the idea. We set it up and everything, and then they told us about how they were going to donate all of the proceeds to his scholarship.”

Cal U’s team also wore jerseys in honor of Garrick with his number on the right sleeve.

Terrana said that Saint Vincent approaching them first about the game showed how much of an impact Garrick had on the whole Ultimate Frisbee com-munity.

McLynch, a junior and politi-cal science major, said he was ex-tremely happy with the amount of people at the game.

“Usually we have trouble even getting people from our club to show up to things,” McLynch said. “The fact that we were able to get triple the amount of people at that game was huge for us, and even Saint Vincent’s crowd was big and the support from everyone was great.”

McLynch also said that the game would have meant more to Garrick than anyone because he was always the one to sup-port other teams and was a big advocate for showing sports-manship, which was apparent at this game.

Lindsey Leonard, a junior and communications major who attended the game, was a very close friend of Garrick’s.

“I’m speechless about the game, honestly,” Leonard said. “It was a rainy day and the sun came out right before they an-nounced Garrick’s name and

number and both teams took the

of Garrick there.”Leonard said Garrick was

always good at bringing people together and still manages to do so.

“It was amazing to see an-other school put together an event to honor him and raise money toward his scholarship,” Leonard said. “Cal U and SVC worked together and at the end of the day that’s what Garrick was all about.”

All together from the game, Cal U and Saint Vincent raised $139.81 to put toward the Gar-rick A. Lackey Memorial Schol-arship, which is more than halfway endowed.

“When Cal U cheered, ‘1, 2, 3, We did it for Garrick!’ after the

couldn’t stop smiling,” Leonard said. “This is just the beginning of Garrick’s legacy.”

Dance concert concludes spring theater season

California University of Penn-sylvania’s Department of The-atre and Dance will close its 2014 spring season with three performances of “Sensation Seekers,” a dance concert at 8 p.m. May 1-3 in Steele Hall Mainstage Theatre.

This annual springtime event showcases the choreographic talent of Cal U’s dance faculty and students, who perform in a variety of dance genres.

Diane Epertherner Buffing-ton coordinated and helped to choreograph the production. She is a faculty member in Cal U’s Department of Theatre and Dance, as well as the Psychol-ogy Department.

“Each dance that has been choreographed by faculty or students will focus on a sensa-tion,” she said. “When dancing,

senses, and it is our perception of that sensation that allows us to produce movement with emotion.”

These Cal U students have choreographed numbers for the show: Taylor Brookings, Jessica Desvarro, Elizabeth Hartwell, Jocelyn Majernik, Paige Moody, Katey Sheehan, Bonnie Sproul, Emily Tompkins and Paige Wil-liams.

Stage managers are Emily Cutwright and Sarah Martik.

Ticket price is $12 for patrons of all ages. Cal U students with valid CalCards pay 50 cents, plus a $5 deposit that is refund-ed at the show.

The ways in which consumers consume music have evolved since the distribution of songs was formally organized into the ‘music business.’ Files are downloaded to iPods, discs are put into CD players and, if there’s an apparent need to lis-ten to the smooth sounds of the

decks. None of these formats have prompted fans to reserve one day out of the year for its celebration––that privilege is reserved for vinyl. Christians will celebrate the resurrection of Christ on Easter Sunday, but

the rebirth of the vinyl LP one day earlier on Record Store Day.

celebration of Record Store Day, a retail holiday created in the same vein as Free Comic Book Day. The marketing potential of RSD (and the apparently

-cionados) has since been recog-nized and the bevy of limited and exclusive releases that hit store shelves during the celebra-tion spurs the holiday onward. RSD sees releases from both major and independent record labels, but these special releases are only carried by independent stores with brick-and-mortar storefronts––chains and online stores are not permitted to par-ticipate in the festivities. The

Attic, a record store in Millvale,

Fred Bohn and his son, Fred Bohn Jr., expects to receive around $40,000 worth of vinyl in preparation for Saturday.

“We get pretty much more product than anybody that I know of,” Bohn Jr. said. “Today [Wednesday] we had a whole UPS truck, tomorrow we’ll have a whole UPS truck... we get lots

The Attic began celebrations at midnight on Record Store Days past, but in order to be part of the holiday this year the store will have to wait until 8 a.m. on Saturday to open its doors. Bohn Jr. recalled lines that wrapped around their building during the midnight openings and he’s hoping to bring that same excitement to this year’s

“We have a lot of giveaways,

It’s a real fun day.”The Attic was one of the stores

that Steven Maggio, a sopho-more radio and television com-munications major at California University of Pennsylvania, visited during last year’s Record Store Day. Maggio didn’t arrive early enough last year to pick up any of the releases on his list before they sold out, but he already has his eye on a few of this year’s exclusives.

“The main one that I really want is the Circa Survive [and] Sunny Day Real Estate split,” Maggio said. “I think Bayside

pick up as well.”The early morning drive from

California, Pa. to Pittsburgh––and the purchase he’ll make once he arrives––is motivated by Maggio’s appreciation for the format.

“It has a better audio quality to me. It’s nice to have a digital version of the music to carry around with you and whatnot, but when I’m at home and I want to listen to a full album it [has] a whole other aesthetic to it of actually pulling out the record and placing it on the turntable and setting the needle down and letting it go.”

Record Store Day provides re-tail locations with a larger than normal inventory for collectors to choose from, but Maggio sees the record store as a viable shop-ping destination year-round.

“It’s just a lot of fun going out to them because whenever I do go to a record store I don’t really have in my mind specifically one record that I want to get. It’s kind of… if I come across it [and] if I really want it I’ll get it.”

On April 9 Swedish heavy metal behemoths Sabaton took the stage in Pittsburgh at Stage AE. The band is on tour support-ing their forthcoming release “Heroes,” slated for a May 16 re-lease, and are joined by Florida’s own heavy metal veterans Iced Earth and Denmark’s female-

ReVamp. Together they brought a package of artists so unique yet so complementary to each other that it was almost embar-rassing as a fan to see how low of a turnout there was.

Although attendance was not the best, those that knew the band seemed to know every word as they sang along while those that didn’t at least walked out with a CD of their own to play catchup for the next Sa-baton US tour. For those who missed this show, they truly missed out on the type of tour that rarely travels this side of the Atlantic.

When it comes to fast-paced, high energy shows, Sabaton is a contender for being the biggest and baddest in all of Europe. Their subject matter – wars,

perfectly set to fast but melodic guitars, pounding drums and anthem choruses. Their unique combination of melody and lyrical content brings about the feeling of riding atop a speed-ing tank through a battle zone of awesomeness. There is nary a moment where one of them isn’t running, jumping or par-taking in general shenanigans with the other bandmates, such as delivering a swift kick to the hindquarters.

Dressed in their battle garb –

and black shirts – the members of Sabaton are ready for war and clearly have an eye for theatricality. Frontman Joakim Brodén went as far as compar-ing himself to one of the Village People before treating the crowd to a snippet of a heavy metal “YMCA,” dance included. Be-ing dressed in an armored vest with diamond plate six pack and pectorals, a perfectly sculpted

beard and Mohawk, as well as a full sleeve maori tribal tattoo, he

metal community full of them. Brodén brings a level of en-

ergy and excitement to their performance that is hardly rivaled, even in a genre notable for having stellar frontmen. Playing songs from their entire catalogue they treated their fans to a multitude of hits such as “Ghost Division,” and “Caro-lus Rex,” while even including the single “To Hell and Back” from “Heroes.” Although they weren’t the headliner, Sabaton brought the same energy to the

at Poland Woodstock to a crowd of over half a million people.

Those who were in the crowd had no choice but to reciprocate the energy thrown in their face.

I was lucky enough to get a chance to speak with bassist/manager Pär Sundström before the show and to get an inside look into the minds behind Sabaton.

came to California Univer-sity of Pennsylvania this past weekend—except Meryl Streep, nominated for Best Actress in a Leading Role at the Acad-emy Awards, and Julia Roberts, nominated for Best Actress in a Supporting Role, weren’t with it. Cal U’s Department of The-atre and Dance performed the award-winning play written by Tracy Letts with four shows this past weekend. Thursday, Friday and Saturday night’s perfor-mances began at 8 p.m., with an additional showing on Saturday at 2 p.m. All performances were held in Steele Hall’s Mainstage Theatre.

“I like coming to the plays to support the theatre de-partment and the people in it,” Marshall Craig, a sophomore history major, said.

Ester Verkouw played Violet, while Madelaine Dudley played

the leading role of Barbara. Mi-chael Slavin, chair of the theatre department at Cal U, directed the play.

“August: Osage County” deals with addiction, cheating, death and betrayal, yet man-aged to get several audible laughs out of the crowd. The more dramatic scenes left audi-ence members gasping and with their mouths left wide open.

“The funniest part was towards the end of Scene Two. Beverly (played by Jason Dohoda) got up from the din-ner table and pretended he was choking, when instead he was choking on the fear that the animal produces before its slaughter,” Craig said.

While this is the last play of the year for the Cal U De-partment of Theatre and Dance, the Spring Dance Performance will be held May 1, 2 and 3 at 8 p.m. in the Mainstage Theatre as well. Admission for Cal U students is free.

Collidescope Gallery: A collaboration of art and poetry_______________________BY EMILY GEYERfor the Cal Times

_______________________

Members of the California University of Pennsylvania community teamed up to pres-ent a new twist on the tradi-tional art exhibit which debuted April 8 and lasted until April 12. The exhibit, which was on dis-

Manderino Library, showcased paintings and drawings from art students inspired by poetry from students in the English department.

The exhibit housed 21 works of art and poetry created by 21 pairs of art and English stu-dents.

Chelsea Eckels, a junior art education major, came up with the idea for this type of exhibit after she decided she wanted to do something memorable before she starts student teaching next school year.

Eckels said that the hardest part at the beginning of this process was making sure that all of the pairs were getting in contact with one another.

“The major part and what took the most time was getting people connected with their partner,” Eckels said.

While Eckels was exchanging ideas with one of her profes-sors, Dr. Marcy Hoover, Hoover wrote down the name and contact information of Brittney Jones, a senior secondary Eng-lish education and English language and literacy major and creative writing minor.

photo: Alex LaffertyChelsea Eckels and Brittney Jones beside their collaborative effort for the gallery,

Eckels said that she and Jones met in Keystone Hall in Jan. and mapped the whole event – they started getting everything really organized around March.

Eckels said that both she and Jones wanted a situation where the artists could create a piece based on something the writers created and vice versa.

Jones said that they started by reaching out to art and creative writing clubs to get the word out.

“I had last spring, a creative writing poetry class, and we had talked about this. How cool it would be to see our poetry translated into art and how fun it would be to translate art into poetry,” Jones said.

Jones said that she also an-nounced the event to her cre-ative writing class she’s in this semester, as well as some of the other English classes.

Poetry contributor Kyle Hilsey, a junior creative writ-ing major, said he was really interested in this event because it gave artists and poets the op-portunity to be creative based on each other’s works.

“Someone from the art club came to one of our classes and talked to us about this Colli-descope idea,” Hilsey said. “I thought it was pretty interesting because it was kind of turned around – like [people] usually ask us to write poetry based on art, and this time we were

Hilsey’s poetry consists of a bunch of different song titles and mixes and matches them to form a poem – the poem for the show was consisted of titles

from what he considered to be the greatest rock ballads ever written. He said that this idea actually started out as a joke between him and a friend when he tried to keep a conversation they were having going just by saying the titles of songs on his iPod.

Hilsey thought that he could potentially make a poem by do-ing that, and after getting a big

he’s continued to do them since.Michelle Rowekamp, a junior

graphic design major, came to the gallery’s opening on April 8 with her aesthetic theory class, but a lot of her friends were

involved in the show. Rowekamp said that she

thinks the idea behind the gal-lery is incredible.

“I love the collaboration be-tween artists and poets, because

bounced off of each other,” Rowekamp said.

Rowekamp said that even though she’s a graphic design major, she’d enjoy participat-ing in something like this in the future.

“I would love it, to be honest I think it’s such a great experi-ence to take something that’s so personal to someone else and make it personal to you.”

Jones and Eckels both said that they were pleased with this year’s outcome of 21 group entries.

“I actually had an hour before everyone else came, even to help, by myself, and I sat down in the middle of the gallery and had a complete geeky moment of oh my gosh it’s real,” Eckels said.

Eckels also said that she’d like to come back years after she’s graduated and still see that the Collidescope Gallery is still an annual event.

“I would love to come back to the annual Collidescope Gallery and see it be huge,” Eckels said.

Dealing WithProcrastination_______________________BY EMILY GEYER for The Cal Times

_______________________“Concentrate Emily, you need

to make a list of things you need to do, and complete the list this time.”

This is a thought that goes through my head on a daily basis.

Bleep. Buzz. Boop. There goes my phone, notifying me about a text message, or something dealing with

“Concentrate. Turn your sound off. What if I miss something important? Is school work not im-portant too?”

Technology, hands down, may be the biggest distraction known to humankind. It is also one of the biggest forms of procrastination in my life, probably because there is always something going on or changing to grab my attention, which is not something very hard to do.

I’m currently procrastinating while typing this essay on my computer by taking breaks to check my Twitter and Facebook feeds for news and notifications. Most of the time I’ll tell myself that I am only going to check those sites or the apps on my phone for a couple minutes, and end up spending an hour doing absolutely nothing productive.

I feel as though the only time I’m truly able to focus on something is when I’m reading, because I’m able to fully immerse myself into a good story. I know that when I read a good book and I immerse myself in it,I feel the same feelings as the characters or even I feel for them.

up in a book that I forget about the things going around me; I see it almost as a form of escape from reality. However, maybe this is a clue as to why I and many others procrastinate – we want to escape our realities, even if it is just mo-mentarily.

I guess the same could be said for the authors of those books, because without, at the very least, thinking

how would they know how to por-tray them in their writing?

Sometimes I feel as though I have ADD because my mind wanders so much, and I become distracted so easily. For instance, sometimes I’ll be working on a research paper, and I’m looking up various sources and then BAM! Another thought in-terjects and my mind is once again off topic. What if maybe this isn’t me procrastinating, as much as me lacking concentration?

“Maybe I should look up the

sure…Would that be considered procrastinating or research?” It is a good thought.

According to the Merriam-Web-ster Dictionary online, procrasti-nation means “to be slow or late about doing something that should be done; to delay doing something until a later time because you do not want to do it, because you are

part of procrastination. Although I usually procrastinate because I’m lazy, and do not want to do whatever it is I have to do, other

-ing because I need some sort of inspiration. This is especially true when it comes to writing. For me, I feel I have both problems. Why? The answer is quite simple, I don’t feel that I personally contain what it takes to be a great writer; therefore, I procrastinate and pull something out of my ass and pray that it works. However, sometimes I procrastinate more on certain styles or papers and/or articles, based on their top-ics. The more I’m interested in a topic, the easier it is for me to write about it – it’s because I obviously want to know more on the topic. The opposite happens when I’m uninterested in a topic – I become an extreme procrastinator. There are also instances when I’m just busy and procrastinate, because I don’t feel like dealing with things anymore – that happens more often than not.

Every time I procrastinate like this I tell myself, “Emily, you do this every time you have something due—YOU NEED TO PLAN AHEAD!”

According to California Poly-technic State University’s Student Academic Services website on procrastination, it “is a complex psychological behavior that af-fects everyone to some degree or another.”

The website goes on to list mul-tiple ways to help resolve procras-tination some of which seem really helpful; for example:

and easy in your mind. (“I’ve writ-ten lots of excellent papers; this is just one more paper.”)

to something else if you want. Chances are, you’ll get involved enough to keep going.

accomplish something, and let peer pressure push you forward. (“I told

this tonight.”) This proves that there is help

out there. If I use these tips as well as others shown on the Cal Poly Student Academic Services’ website, I believe that I can help improve my terrible problem with procrastination. I hope that with this new-found knowledge, I can help my peers who suffer from procrastination, as well.

The future is looking bright—there is help for my kind, as long as I follow some simple steps to help not only organize my tasks but also make them seem like they are not

“There’s two things that we break it down to, there’s the physical talent and the psychological talent and he’s got amounts of both. From an intel-ligence point of view he processes things at a very high level so anything that he’s told, he takes it on

he goes and does it.”
