Some bucks’ studentsseemed impressed when theywere told about the event.

“it's interesting to thinkabout, but i would've likedto have met them and actu-ally talked to them abouthow it feels to make his-tory,” said 19-year-oldShelby. the prevention of same-sex

marriages originally camefrom a 1996 act called thedefense of Marriage Act(doMA) that was signed byformer President bill Clin-ton. Section 3 of the docu-ment states that the Federalgovernment does not have torecognize same-sex mar-riages.

recently doMA section 3laws were taken down be-cause it violated the consti-tution under its equalprotection plan.

Section two of the act hasnot been challenged and saysthat states do not have torecognize same sex-mar-riages that were legal inother states.

Not all churches, including the Unitarian church in New Jersey are opposed to same-sex marriage

seem to like the website forits user-friendliness.

“it [the website] sounds alot easier than submitting apaper application, and nothaving to wait forever to hearback from them soundsgreat,” said KristinaGottschall, 20, a cinema andvideos production major.Most of the scholarship pro-

Patrick Murphy visits BucksThe former U.S. representa-tive, Patrick Murphy, visitedBucks on Oct. 29 to encour-age students to get involvedin public service and hit onsuch topics as the currentstate of healthcare, gun con-trol and his hopes for theUniversal Healthcare Act. “I would just say to you[students], if you careenough, to please get in-volved in public service.Whether you run yourself asa candidate or you join acampaign, it is critically im-portant because we need yourideas, we need your energyand we need your perspec-tive,” said Murphy.Murphy said that althoughAmerica has some of the besthealthcare providers in theworld “it is a fragmented sys-tem.” He rationalized supportingthe Universal Healthcare Actby saying that without it, hos-pitals in Pennsylvania aloneare paying over $1 billiondollars a year in uncompen-sated care.“Most folks have health in-surance, as it should be...theproblem is that we have over30 million Americans thatdon’t have health insurance,”Murphy said. Murphy added that it is not

the poor and elderly that arethe reason why this UniversalHealthcare Act is being putinto place:“Very poor people haveMedicaid, seniors haveMedicare...they get healthcare,” Murphy said. “It is thefolks in the lower-middleclass...that don’t have healthinsurance. They [the lower-middle class] get sick, some-times they go and get in a caraccident, so what then hap-pens? They go to the emer-gency room, they get treated[and] they have to pay backtens of thousands of dollars.[If] they don’t have it...theydeclare bankruptcy. What’sthe number one reason forbankruptcy in America?” “Medical bills,” an audiencemember responded.“Medical bills,” Murphyreaffirms. Even when discussion led togun control, Murphy wouldbring it into the healthcarefield, saying that mentalhealth checks should bemandatory for purchasing agun and be covered by healthcare providers.Murphy said that as a “sec-ond amendment guy” he didnot believe in the restrictionof guns, however, he didagree with the idea of makingit necessary to have mentalhealth examinations for indi-viduals that wish to purchase

a gun.“I believe in the secondamendment, if you want tohave a weapon, you shouldhave it, but you should makesure that the one who has it ismentally stable,” Murphysaid. Siavatlana Chahedinikava,27, criminal justice, said shethought that gun control wasone of the most important is-sues discussed.“It was nice that he was

very clear on the issue,” Cha-hedinikava said. All of the talk with the issueof health care constantly ledback to Murphy’s initial pleafor students to get involvedin public service.Murphy said that he wantedstudents to start thinkingabout the current issues anddo something about them as ateam. “That’s what youshould think about... Whetheryou are Democrat or Repub-

lican or Libertarian.”When it comes to PatrickMurphy, even locals cameout to hear what Murphy hadto say. Debbie Walter ofNewtown said that she cameto the college just for the oc-casion. “I like him a lot…He’s genuine, he’realistic andhas a good perspective ofthings.”

A former Pennbury graduate recently wrote a opinionated editorial about his time spent at PennsburyHigh School that caused significant backlash from other Pennsbury graduates and current students.

Adam Sokol, Pennsburygraduate and Yale freshmanrecently published a scathingeditorial in the Yale DailyNews regarding the condi-tions he experienced whileattending the public schoolincluding faulty air condi-tioning, violence, and win-dowless classrooms.However, many other

Pennsbury graduates had adifferent take on their experi-ence at the high school. Manuel Rodriguez, 25, a

journalism major from Levit-town claimed that had Sokolnot mentioned the name ofthe high school in the articlehe never would have as-sumed it was Pennsbury, say-ing, “When I came toPennsbury I thought it wasamazing.”In the article called “Prep-

ping for Preps,” Sokol saidthat he was the only Yale ac-ceptance from Pennsburysince 2006. He also claimedthat Ivy League acceptancesfrom the high school are veryrare, although 2012 aloneseveral graduates fromPennsbury were sent off toPenn, Brown and Harvard.“[Pennsbury] may be a pub-

lic school but it’s a good pub-lic school with tons ofextracurricular activities,”said Erich Martin, 20, a jour-nalism major from Levittownsaid who also called Sokol’swords disgraceful and

shameful. “He takes every-thing he had for granted.”Sokol noted his resentmentstarting after he was acceptedto Yale, stating, “When I wasaccepted to Yale, I wastreated like a king. Somepeople would love that. Ihated it.”Sokol reaffirms his love for

Pennsbury at the end of hiseditorial, then goes on toblame it for the culture shockhe experienced upon transi-tioning to the famous univer-sity. Sokol assures thereaders that “The strugglewas most certainly real” atPennsbury. Many Pennsbury alumni

were outraged in their re-sponses to the editorial. “If he’s trying to burn

bridges he’s doing a damngood job,” Craig Miller, aPennsbury graduate of 2011said. Miller noted that there were

better ways for Sokol to airany grievances, and that theteachers he accused of givingno academic challenge in hisarticle are probably the peo-ple that wrote him letters ofrecommendation.“He over exaggerated slight

problems,” said AshleyBrice, 19, an early educationmajor from Fairless Hillssaid. On the topic of courseswhich do not offer a chal-lenge she said that “Penns-bury offers a lot of AP classesand challenges.” Not every alumni was of-

fended by the Sokol’s article.

everything Sokol said, butunderstood what Sokol meantin his editorial.“There are a lot of policies

at Pennsbury that don’t makesense, [and] there are under-achievers at Pennsbury,”Davis said. “The opportunityis there only it’s presented insuch a way that it’s not ap-pealing. For people who arecommitted there are plenty ofAP courses. I don’t find it in-sulting, but I can see whyother people would be of-fended.”Lisa Follman, the Assistant

Principle of Pennsbury andsupervisor of school counsel-ing stated “I know AdamSokol well. His editorial wasunfortunate, but we recognizethat he has a right to expresshimself. We don’t wish toenter into any sort of debate.We are proud of all our stu-dents and believe that Penns-bury provides excellentpreparation for college andcareer.”This comes as surprising be-

cause in May he wrote a let-ter to the editor of theCourier Times concerning hisopinions on Simon Campbell,a member of the PennsburySchool Board. In this letterhe was also very complimen-tary to his high school stat-ing, “As a high school senior,I am proud to have spent mylast four years at PennsburyHigh School. I have had the

pleasure of having brilliantand dedicated teachers, moti-vated classmates, and a longlist of extracurricular activi-ties to choose from. To top itall off, Pennsbury’s greatguidance department helpedme get into the college of mydreams.”Going back then to the arti-

cle he published in August,Sokol seems to contradicthimself entirely. He doesn’trefer to his teachers as “bril-liant and dedicated,” but in-stead accuses them of being“laid back” and making it dif-ficult not to get an A. Hisfellow students are not madeout to be ideological youngpeople striving for a highereducation but dangerous de-generates that are known bestfor “punching cops at promand smearing blood on bath-room walls.” Indeed anyonewho reads these two separatearticles may never suspectthey are written by the sameperson at all. It seems Sokolis already getting over thatculture shock.Though Sokol refused to

speak to Centurion reporters,citing safety concerns, he didapologize for the article onTwitter saying, “I love PHSand am so thankful for mytime there. The piece’s sub-ject was not PHS, but mypersonal transition. I’m sorryfor offending [anyone].”

Raising the bar at BucksBucks’ professor Pattie Alloway is a role model for many students as she has been able to overcome somepersonal challenges that makes her willing to listen to student’s problems.

While the subject of psy-chology can be intimidatingfor many students, Buckspsychology professor PattiHemko Alloway acts as acalming influence in the aca-demic storm, drawn from herown life experiences.These reasons helped earn

Alloway Bucks’ part-timefaculty member of the yearaward last year for social andbehavioral science.However it hasn’t always

been easy for the 45-year-oldfrom Warminster.Prior to her career at Bucks

Alloway was engaged to herfirst fiancé, but things took adrastic turn when he wasmurdered during a robberywhile working in a restaurantin Abington, Pennsylvania. Ittruly was a life altering expe-rience.Following a long lapse in

practicing psychology, Al-loway got involved in work-ing for the Network ofVictims Assistance, speakingto other crime victims.Currently Alloway works

out of a private practice inIvyland where she specializesin post-traumatic stress disor-der and grief counseling forchildren and families. Al-loway still balances teachingand counseling, as she hassince 2000.

Life started to look up forAlloway when she got mar-ried in 2001 and gave birth toher daughter, in 2002.Tragedy found Allowayagain,Only six days before the

birth of her daughter, Al-loway lost her mother. Tomake matters worse, Allowayhas lost a number of pregnan-cies due to secondary fertilityproblems.Yet, experiencing the roller

coaster that life has put heron has helped strengthen Al-loway and made her the de-termined person as well asrole model she is today.“I believe in what doesn’t

kill you makes you stronger,”Alloway said.Alloway’s hands-on ap-

proach has played a huge rolein shaping her students timeat the college. It’s not un-usual to see a crowd aroundAlloway’s desk well afterclass has ended.“When I think of my experi-

ence at Bucks, I think of PattiHemko Alloway,” Ina Behan,21, a psychology major said.“(Alloway) is the one profes-sor that I have had that I sim-ply adore. She is a mentorand has inspired me to do mybest,” Behan said. “(Al-loway) is the only professor Ihave had at Bucks that hasgone above and beyond tohelp her students in any way

she could.”Test taking and its anxious-

ness, never an easy task forstudents, is slain by thedragon of relaxation by Al-loway. Her exams are never asurprise and she lets her stu-dents know ahead of time be-fore she plans to give themout.”Alloway offers a perfect

blend of challenging materialsprinkled with a mix of

humor and understanding.When classes are selected

before each semester it istough to get one of Alloway’sclassroom spots, as manyBucks students would attest.“I have never had the pleas-

ure of having Alloway as ateacher due to the wait listbecause of the popularity ofher courses,” said Brain Clay,a secondary education majorfrom Holland. “However, I

have sat in on a number ofher classes and it was quitethe experience to say theleast.”Alloway is raising the bar forprofessors at Bucks by goingabove and beyond for the en-richment of each student shecomes across. The strongwilled individual is passingon her bright outlook ontoevery student she touches atBucks’.

Alloway is more than just the regular black board and chalk teacher, but instead a figure for aspiration.

He leaves behind his wife,musician Laurie Anderson,whom he married in 2008. According to NPR, “Reed'ssongs as a guitarist for TheVelvet Underground and laterduring his solo careerblended art and noise in de-ceptively simple combina-tions, with his NewYork-inflected voice tellingstories of street deals and oddcharacters.”Over the years Reed hasworked with and influencedmany well-known musiciansand artists including Metal-lica, David Bowie, Andy

Warhol, REM and TalkingHeads. “There is no one like him,”Dylan Matz, 18, a musicmajor at Bucks said. “If youask any musician, they all saythey have been influenced byhim.”Since Reed’s death, manyhave been expressing theirsorrow for the rock legendspassing. Artists and actorssuch as David Bowie, MileyCyrus, Iggy Pop, Samuel L.Jackson, Elijah Wood, andmany others paid their re-spects to Reed. Over 30,000posts from fans expressingcondolences for the artisthave appeared on Reed’s of-ficial Facebook page.

“It was three years ago whenI first heard of him,” MirandaKrause, 18, communicationsmajor said. “I was sittingaround a fire with somefriends and listening to musicwhen I first heard him…It’s ashame, he’s amazing.”Reed was born in Brooklyn,New York in 1947.According to the Grammy-award winning documentary“Lou Reed: Rock and RollHeart”, Reed got his start inthe music industry in 1964 atPickwick Records as a com-pany songwriter. In the verysame year he scored a smallhit with his song entitled“The Ostrich”, which was asatire of 1960’s dance songs,

While working for Pickwick,Reed met John Cale, whowould later band togetherwith two of Reed’s college acquaintances, guitarist Ster-ling Morrison and drummerMaureen Tucker, to form TheVelvet Underground.“Lou, lyrically, was really in-credible in a different way,”Cale said in the documentary.“Lou created mythology onthe street.”From 1964 to 1970, Reedproduced three albums withthe band including “The Vel-vet Underground & Nico” in1967, “White Light/WhiteHeat” in 1969 and “Loaded”in 1970.

any critical success, rock leg-end says that all of the30,000 individuals, whobought their first album,started a band.In an article written byRolling Stone in 1975, re-porter Paul Nelson says,"Had he [Lou Reed] accom-plished nothing else, hiswork with the Velvet Under-ground in the late Sixtieswould assure him a place inanyone's rock & roll pan-theon; those remarkablesongs still serve as an articu-late aural nightmare of menand women caught in thebeauty and terror of sexual,street and drug paranoia, un-willing or unable to move.”During the 1970’s, afterReed left the band, Reed en-tered into the sphere of DavidBowie and Iggy Pop and pro-duced several albums includ-ing “Transformer” (1972)and “Berlin” (1974). Since then, Reed continuedwriting music for multiplebenefits and world tours.NPR reporter Neda Ulabysays, “When Reed was notonstage or working withother artists, he was happiestin New York City, where hemellowed into a Lower Man-hattan elder statesman, ridinghis bike, practicing tai chiand taking photos.”

Wounded Warrior’s callThe Wounded Warrior Proj-

ect is a nationwide non-profitorganization that assists in-jured and traumatized veter-ans, and they are workingwith Robert Talbot, a marineand secondary educationmajor at Bucks to sponsor anon-profit raffle for thePhiladelphia Flyers’ ticketson campus.Talbot’s life is much like

many other students. Hetakes his classes seriously,and makes sure that he getsall his work done on time.The difference is that hedeals with things that wouldmake many other studentscrumble.Talbot was shot overseas

and sustained extensive dam-age to his legs and back. Healso copes with head traumaand PTSD. Talbot needs tobring a cane to school. Asidefrom that, he uses handi-capped parking. Talbot alsoneeds special assistance totake notes and ensure that heretains information from hisclasses. Somewhere in theheat of his struggle, he de-cided to give back to thecommunity, instead of holdhis injuries against them.“When I got out of the

Marines because of injuryand personal problems I didnot want to stop serving mycountry,” said Talbot. “WhenI heard of the Wounded War-rior Project I saw it as an op-portunity to keeping helpingmy brothers and sisters in themilitary. Talbot is now working with

the Veteran’s Club andWounded Warriors Project toraise money for the causewith no profit towards him-self.“[The funds] goes towards

donations to wounded vetsand their families,” MeganGold, 24, a social servicesmajor and the president ofthe Veterans Club fromPipersville said. It helps toinclude counseling for PTSDand medical bills, becausethe VA only goes so far.”Gold has served our countryin the National Guard forthree years. The funds are gathered

through donations and theFlyers raffle that gives awaysome of Talbot’s season tick-ets. “I originally bought the

tickets to make me happy, butthen it clicked that I coulduse them to help with theWounded Warrior project,”said Talbot. Talbot has already given

away three of his games, butthere is still nine games left.If you win one of the ticketsyou also get access to theFlyers’ stadium restaurant the“Cadillac Grill,” and someautographed Flyers gear.

Matt Cipriano, director ofStudent Life worked withTalbot to set up the event atBucks and had had highpraise for Talbot and theevent. “One of my friends benefit-

ted greatly from WoundedWarrior when she was in-jured in Afghanistan,” saidCipriano. “It’s a win-win.We have students who mightjust be interested in the Fly-ers, or Wounded WarriorsProject, or both.” Studentscan benefit by winning tick-ets, and they can help a goodcause by donating towardsthe raffle. The root of this benevolence

comes from Talbot’s own as-sistance received fromWounded Warriors. Theyhave provided him with themeans necessary to obtain fi-nancial aid, as well as travelaround campus. Theyworked with him to help himobtain a handicapped license.It doesn’t end there, though.Talbot was given a “smart

pen” by the project. This penhelps him record lectures,and transcribes his own hand-writing to a flash card whichcan be transferred to a com-puter for easier note-takingand lecture memorization.Also, he is given applications

and special tools on his iPadto work with. Altogether,Talbot has a lot of respect forthe Wounded Warriors Proj-ect, as they have helped himin many ways.

“It just feels right,” saysTalbot. He continues:“Wounded Warriors is a greatnon-profit organizationwhich helps people like meevery day that want to re-in-

tegratethemselves into civilian soci-ety.” Robert is not keepingany of the money from thefundraiser and does not in-tend to profit off of it at all.

PRO SCORESBUCKS SCORES

Centurions upset Northampton in playoffsCenturion forward James

Haslett has led his team onoffense all season in points(22), goals (10), and game-winning goals (3), and asthe playoffs started for theCenturions, Haslett kept toform to give his Men’s Cen-turion Soccer team (9) a 2-1upset on Oct. 26 atNorthampton. The deciding goal came

after Centurion defensemanWayne Horger was able toget the ball to Haslett off acorner throw-in. “I saw there was no one

covering me on the throwin, so I just took the balland turned on it,” Haslettsaid. Defense paved the way for

Haslett’s heroics as theywere able to hold the Spar-tan leading scorers TylerGarr and Mike Gaudette toone combined assist For the game shots were

hard to come by as Spartangoalie Ronald Mendizabaland Centurion goalie TrevorHopf faced six and sevenshots, respectively. Mendiz-abal and Hopf were testedon those shots, but came up

huge. The Spartans controlled

the early part of the gamethanks in large part toGaudette. Gaudette wasable to get behind the de-fense with the ball, but wasunable to finish. Multiple

offsides calls also played apart in Gaudette’s quiet af-ternoon as he was flaggedmultiple times. A pair of big defensive

stops spurred the Centuri-ons on offense, but Mendiz-abal kept the gamescoreless. The Centurions had an in-

teresting strategy on freekicks they attempted thatwould go to a teammatefirst instead of Mendizabal. “We were just trying to

catch their goalie out of po-sition,” Centurion headcoach Justin Burroughslater said. After watching both of-fenses have ample opportu-nities, the half ended withthe score dead-locked atzero. The Centurions took ad-

vantage of the reversal offields in the second half asthey scored at one minuteeight seconds in as mid-fielder Geremy Scholtzwould deflect a rebound

past Mendizabal to open thescoring. “Somebody was able to

cross in front of the goalieand I was able to kick it in,”Scholtz said. The Spartans would re-

spond moments later whendefenseman Ryan Gunder-man would score the tyinggoal. Gunderman’s goalwould come off a directkick by Gaudette that foundthe right corner of the Cen-turion net. “I told the free kicker to

look for me and luckily Igot a good bounce and wasable to get the ball over thegoalie’s head,” Gundermansaid. By trying to get the lead

right back the Centurionswould race down field andfire an array of shots atMendizabal that would beturned aside. The game assumed a back-

and-forth pace from there asboth teams would exchangescoring chances. The Spartan offense

seemed to dictate off theirdefense as they attempted anumber of long outletpasses to get teammates be-hind the Centurion defense. One such attempt got

through to Gaudette and hewas able to find himselfone-on-one with Hopf.Hopf was up for the chal-lenge, however, as he wasable to make the save. The Centurions were me-

thodical as they pushed theball up the field by using allphases of their team. In the final minutes headinginto overtime, both teamswould pour on the , butwould have nothing to showfor it. The overtime period tested

the players’ stamina and itproved to be too much forthe Spartans as they wouldget caught out of positionon Haslett’s goal. “It was exciting,” Buroughssaid. “I think the biggestthing was that we workedhard and kept our intensityup.”
