Since the beginning of the spring 2014 semester, KU and surrounding schools have seen what seems to be a record number of canceled or delayed classes due to snow.

This winter is sure to carry with it one of the highest snowfall totals in recent memory, with more snowstorms coming before spring fully hits.

With these unusually high snowfall totals, students are becoming increasingly frustrated with KU’s handling of plowing parking lots and sidewalks.

Many commuters are dependent on the local roads and parking lots being plowed to get to and from their classes, and huge patches of ice still have not been cleared up around campus sidewalks.

Student Government Board (SGB) president Nick Imbesi believes, however, that most students have misplaced their blame for the sub-par conditions, and was quick to blame Gov. Tom Corbett.

“Facilities is in charge of the removal of snow, and I do want to say that they are using the resources they have to the best of their ability to provide us with a safe campus. If we really want to point a finger at somebody, I would point a finger at Harrisburg, because they are not giving us the proper funding for our institution to operate the way it needs to operate,” Imbesi said.

Imbesi also urged students to call their legislator, to allow them to see that this lack of funding is not only affecting the quality of students education, but now their safety on campus.

The blame for this lack of funding is quite clear to Imbesi and the SGB, who said that this “deficit funding has continued, which has caused our University to operate on a 25 percent cut from three years ago.”

He also said that he has seen no effort from Corbett’s office to correct this deficit funding, despite the fact that universities such as KU were told that there would be a new budget proposal.

“Two years ago Gov. Corbett said ‘we need to sit down and have a candid discussion on how to make higher education affordable to Pennsylvanians’ and that has yet to happen,” Imbesi said.

According to Imbesi and the SGB, until that discussion happens, Gov. Corbett’s deficit funding will continue.

“His budget puts the natural gas companies first, the wealthy second and his special interest third. The working and middle class and students aren’t even there. He can say he’s thrown all this money at education, but at the end of the day it’s a lie. Public schools are operating at a deficit, including Kutztown University,” Imbesi said.

KU SGB fights

final exam schedule change

University wants to shorten final exam

schedule for second consecutive semester

By Nick CarsonNews Editor

For the second semester in a row, Student Government Board (SGB) president Nick Imbesi finds himself and his office fighting to keep KU’s final exam schedule longer than the university would like.

Last semester, KU and the SGB worked out the current schedule, which lasts a full school week, despite the fact that the university wanted to join many others who have finals in just four days of a week.

Imbesi said that a four-day finals schedule is just too much for students in the stressful time that is the end of the semester.

“I don’t think it’s fair to our students to try to cram the same amount of finals into less days when it’s already stressful for our students,” Imbesi said.

Imbesi also said that he is confused at KU’s attempt to once again shorten students finals schedule, mainly because of the little time that has passed between KU’s last proposed exam schedule and this current proposal.

“We fought against a four-day final exam schedule, and we won for this semester and now they’re

For Pam Moseley, owner of Wholesome Food Café & Catering, eating healthy is a “way of life.”

Moseley opened the café, one of the newest additions to the Kutztown community, on Aug. 8, 2013. Students, faculty, and members of the community are highly interested in this new venue, which offers a unique outlet for healthy eaters.

Moseley saw a need for natural foods in the Kutztown community, where healthy food venues are lacking. Second Nature, Global Libations, and Subway are three healthier food venues popular in the community, but are still limited in what they offer.

Wholesome Food Café took the place of A Taste of Crepes on Main Street. The café is open Tuesday through Friday from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Healthy food is a very important part of the Moseley family’s business. The organic process begins at the family’s farm, where

KU’s Edge expanding due to off-campus

housing competition

The Edge at Kutztown will be expanding across the street from its current location in order to keep up with the growing off campus housing demand for KU students.

The Edge property manager Vance Whetstone-Yacomes said that the expansion will include a full size gym, swimming pool and cottage style housing. He said this expansion is necessary in order to keep up with the off campus housing competition such as Advantage Point, which is set to start leasing in the upcoming school year.”

The growing competition for student housing in Kutztown has Whetstone-Yacomes determined to keep up with the other properties and draw students into the Edge with its new accommodations. Whetstone-Yacomes said the details of the expansion are still in the works and there is no final word on what exactly they will look like. However, the pool and fully equipped gym have been confirmed. The price is not currently set, but is definitely going to increase due to the new amenities.

The Edge’s new competitor is advantage Point, which will be a little closer to campus than the Edge and will be next to Golden Bear Village South. Advantage Point will have a spa-like pool and three apartment buildings five stories high. There will be a patio area furnished with a grill, outdoor volleyball court and a clubhouse.

“A main concern for on campus

as well as off campus housing however is the drop in enrollment. Enrollment was set for 10,600 this year, but projected for 10,000 or less next year. This could cause a serious decrease in demand for housing. Due to this, The Edge plans to make the expansion a phase construction and add on when there is more demand for housing,” said Whetstone-Yacomes.

Director of Housing, Residence life and Dining Services, Kent Dahlquist, said he thinks the off-campus housing for students would be a wonderful opportunity. He also said that new construction is a lot safer and will create a better living environment for students.

Although there has been new construction and more off-campus housing, there has not been a significant decrease in on campus housing. Dahlquist said, “Students are actually moving back on-campus for safety reasons.”

The lack of security in off-campus housing such as The Edge seems to create an uneasiness in students. Freshman Gabby Noto said, “I would love to live in nice new apartments off campus like The Edge, but security issued worry me and I feel like they won’t be monitored as well as on campus.”

Junior Heather Kovacs, a current resident at the Edge and said, “I love living here and the new amenities like the gym and pool sound amazing. I wish they would be done while I was attending school here still.”

Freshman Joshua Martinez said, “I am excited to see what off-campus housing has to offer and I think the amenities and freedom in the off-campus housing are great.

New amenities include spa-style pool and gym

the meat they raise is grass fed Angus beef. Moseley said, “We try to incorporate organics and natural meats and produce in our personal daily diet.”

Café customers vary from students, members of the community, vegetarians, and more. Although there is no specific target audience for the café, “the student population is definitely an added bonus.” Moseley said.

One returning customer, Jacob Riddle, a 28 year old resident of Kutztown, commented on the café in the community. “It definitely filled a gap for natural, actually whole foods, as opposed to the sloppy, greasy foods that are typical of college towns,” he said. His favorite food on the menu is the Pesto Chicken Wrap for $6.50.

Owners of the Firefly Bookstore in Kutztown frequently eat at Wholesome Food. “We are very happy to have another great restaurant for lunches in downtown Kutztown,” said co-owner Matthew Williams.

Student organizations are showing interest in the new venue as well.

Kutztown’s VEG Club was happy to hear about the new café, which accommodates their need for non-animal products.

President, Lou Ryan, was slightly disappointed in the café’s menu, but added Wholesome Food Café to the “VEG Guide” of vegan and vegetarian friendly restaurants.

The people of Kutztown are expressing a growing enthusiasm for healthy food venues and concern for their personal nutrition.

One student athlete, Andrew Wesner, said, “Eating healthy is essential to every athlete, because if you eat good, you feel good, and will perform better.” Wesner is a junior business major and member of the university’s wrestling team.

Scott Bradshaw, a health and wellness professor at Kutztown, commented on the campus’s limited healthy options. “Most seem very high in carbs” he said. Bradshaw believes that students can eat healthy “with a little planning and some basic education.”

In the future, Moseley would like to hold dinners once a month and donate the proceeds to a local charity.

Most of all, Moseley enjoys meeting new people and cultivating relationships. According to the family’s positive feedback from residents, students and businesses, the community is happy to have them.

trying to push forward it again and I’m not really sure why because our stance has not changed,” Imbesi said.

Imbesi also said that one of the biggest areas of confusion between the four and five-day final exam schedule is a recent policy for students with multiple finals on the same day.

Imbesi said his office enacted a policy in which students can have finals rescheduled if they have three or more finals on one day, or if they have two or more finals scheduled at one time. Imbesi believes that this policy helps relieve some of the stress that final exams can bring, and is not sure if this policy can remain in place with a four-day schedule.

When asked if the proposed schedule would interfere with this stress relieving policy, Imbesi said “I don’t know the answer to that question. I’m going to see exactly how this is going to work out, but I can’t see how that would work out.”

Overcrowding at Rec Center ongoing issue for KU studentsMultiple activity options

not enough to prevent tightly-packed facilities

The recreational center (Rec Center) on KU’s campus is one of its most widely used buildings. However, according to students, there is an overcrowding issue within the facility that needs addressing.

Junior Derek Stefano said, “As a freshman, I learned a serious problem at the Rec Center is overcrowding, and that’s what drove me to come to the gym outside of Kutztown for the past two years.”

The staff in previous semesters took tallies of students using different areas of the gym every hour. This semester however, the staff is now looking for large groups in particular areas at a time.

The facility is open Monday through Thursday from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. and 9 p.m. on Fridays. This gives students a wide range

Students utilize the Rec Center, especially the recent bad weather. University Relations, Kutztown University

of time to make it to the facilities, but with classes being held at most of those hours, most students are only free between the hours of 4 to 9 p.m. and the problem has still persisted.

“Consequently the busiest hours are between 4 to 9 p.m.,” said Amy Sandt, director of

recreational services.“These times make a one hour

workout easily prolonged into a two hour deal,” said Matthew Frizalone, a senior.

The Rec Center has added an outdoor basketball court, more group exercise class opportunities to students during busy hours

and has changed the rock wall climbing hours.

Sandt said that these additions have all had an impact on the overcrowding.

“These options seem to be growing in popularity among students,” Sabdt said.

Frizalone however disagreed.

“While the new hours on the rock wall are nice and the basketball courts replaced the eye sore that once stood, this is not solving the overcrowding issue,” he said.

“I think some of these aspects of the changes made here at the gym cause the Rec Center to be more crowded. This issue has caused my friends and I to find alternative times to come to make sure I can get the machines I need,” said Zachary Mitchell, a staff member of the Rec Center.

The staff members sit at the desk and monitor the number of students who swipe their ID cards to get access into the gym. They then use those numbers and compare them to previous records to learn if overcrowding is going up or down.

“The numbers of students using the Rec Center are actually down compared to previous semesters, but the issue of overcrowding has surfaced to the staff,” says Sandt. “The Rec Center staff is constantly looking for new ways to battle this issue and always open to new ideas of how to overcome it,” she said.

Inexpensive Valentine’s Day ideas on campus for couples, long distance relationships, and singles

COUPLES Campus may not seem like the most romantic place to spend your Valentine’s Day, but with a passionate touch, anything can become a romantic time with the person you care about. Here are some ideas to make your Valen-tine’s Day on campus special. Bake something with or for your special someone. Head down to Rite Aid and pick up a box of brownie mix or like product and spend time baking together or as a surprise. Buy some cheap flowers. Across from the Wells Fargo next to the Strand Movie Theater on Main Street, there is a flower shop with lovely flowers at a reasonable cost. If you cant afford it, make some homemade flowers. Just Google how to make homemade flowers, choose the one you like the best and go from there! Go see a movie at the Strand. If you have Netflix, Hulu, or like service, you can also jump on there. Find a movie you will both enjoy, cuddle in with a nice blan-ket, some popcorn and some hot chocolate and enjoy! Eat at home. Either make a meal together or make it as a surprise for them. You can find plenty of cheap meal ideas for college students online. If you are able, I recommend buying candles to really set the scene for romance. If you have a few bucks to spare, eat dinner cheap at local restau-rants. Airport Dinner has good yet cheap food. Go out for coffee at one of the local shops, or if you are of age, go out for a Valentine’s Day drink. You can also cook dinner at home, and then go out for desert. If you have a little money for presents, you can pick up a bunch

of small presents that you know they will love. For example, you can buy the Valentine’s Day candies, presents, stuffed animals and their favorite candy. Spend very little on it all and warp it all separately. Another idea is to create a spa basket (this can work for males and females, just gear it toward your desired gender) go to the Paisley & Company on Main Street, Rite Aid, or CVS and pick up cheap lotion, bubble bath, can-dles and a sweet treat. You could also make a CD with their favorite or relaxing music. A side note; you may get bonus points for offering up a massage! You can also take a picture of the two of you and put it in a frame from any local store. You can decorate the frame too! If you are not a photo bug, find or write a romantic poem to transcribe and include that in the frame instead. Also, you can pick up a cheap puzzle and spend the day putting it together. This idea produces time for a conversation that can last for hours. Nothing beats quality time together! Absolutely broke? Not to worry; you can still have a special day for free. Build a fort! It is a fun and silly thing to do, and you have somewhere to cuddle and watch those movies! See some of the free sites KU offers. We have multiple art museums that hold magnif-icent work. Spend some time outside. The weather is a perfect excuse to buddle up and walk close to each other. Find a hill around campus and go sledding. Practically anything can be used as a sled, including your own body. Make it fun! Or stay in and play games. The resident halls offer games to be loaned out. You can spend hours in friendly competition or you can make it into a double date and invite other couples. Go to the rec center and enjoy the activi-ties offered there. Watch the sun set together. Make a bucket list together. Draw him or her some-thing. Write a letter to each other in the same room and tell the other what they mean to you. Do some finger painting—you are never too old for this! Finally, my personal favorite,

make a scavenger hunt. Leave clues directing your significant other around different places on campus and lead them wherever you want. Be it to dinner out, to get drinks, to a special spot made up for them or to your room where you have made a romantic dinner, this is completely up to you! It’s sure to be fun and remembered.

SINGLES Being single can be a challenge, especially on certain holidays like Valentine’s Day, the most awkward and hated holiday for singles. It does not have to be this way; you can have just as much if not more fun being single on Valentine’s Day! First off, you have no obliga-tions. You do not have to have a plan or do anything special. You can literally do anything you want. Want to binge-watch TV shows or movies in your pajamas, eat pizza and play video games with your friends, read your favorite book all day and night or go to a party and flirt with whoever is the cutest (be safe Kutztown!)? You can! You can save money or spend it on yourself! Want to save up that

extra money? Go ahead; you have no reason to spend it. Been want-ing to treat yourself to something like a new game, cd, non-campus food? Go for it! You can! Not to mention no relationship drama that often arises with holidays. There is no stressing over what to get them or what they got you, only complete freedom! Try something new. There is nothing and nobody holding you back from trying new things you have always wanted to. Go try sushi, or the rock wall, whatever suits your fancy. Or spread love to others by volunteering at any of our volunteer opportunities on campus, like at the Community Outreach Center. Pamper your-self. Do whatever makes you feel best. Whether that be a hot bath (if your dorm or living area has

one), eating ice cream, taking naps throughout the day. Whatever it is you would other-wise feel guilty about doing, do it! Plan a movie, video game or board game day. Invite all your single friends over for a movie marathon with all your favorite movies with popcorn, snacks or whatever will make it fun. Play games and make it a friendly competition. You could even have the loser buy pizza or something along those lines. Also, you and all of your friends could make a nice dinner together. Just have a fun and relaxing day with friends and forget all about Valentine’s Day. If no matter what, you are still sick of being single, make a dating profile online. The worst that could come from it is a silly laugh at the attempt. The best, a relation-ship!

Finally, throw a fun, safe and most importantly legal (remember KU is a dry cam-pus) Anti-Valen-tine’s Day party. Chances are you are not the only one spending Valentine’s Day alone. The party can be a few friends or more. Make sure you have fun and celebrate being

single. Who knows; maybe you will meet someone there. Most importantly, be re-sponsible, do not go overboard, do not do anything illegal and do not get in trouble/the cops called.

LONG DISTANCE It is not easy spending special holidays away from the one you love, but some have no choice. No matter where they are or why you are apart, you can still make the day special. Send them flowers. You can usu-ally find really good prices online and most offer masculine bouquets so it will work for men as well. Not to mention adding the special note to them from the heart. Send a care package. It can be baked goods, music, special mementos, any of the cheap gifts listed above or anything that fits

your relationship. No matter what it is, your significant other will appreciate the thought. Make and send a video. It can be funny, sappy, romantic, normal, whatever your style is; just go with it! You can be talking to them, a montage of photographs of you two, silly pictures found online. Whatever works best, it is thoughtful, from the heart and of course, free! With that, make a good, quality phone call. Spend as much time as you can just talking to them as if they were there spending the day with you. It is special and sure to be enjoyed by both of you. You can also send them an old fashioned love letter, a poem or a picture.If you are able, plan a surprise visit. But, if you are able to it does not have to be right away. You can plan it for whenever; just planning it will be special. It also does not have to be a surprise; you can plan it together. With this, if you spend time on the phone, like suggested above, you can start planning what you will do when you are together again.

ENDING NOTE FROM THE EDITOR Valentine’s Day can be tricky at college, but it can be done. Fur-thermore, it can be done without breaking the bank and without havening to leave our little home of Kutztown. In the end, consider what you love most about your partner or yourself and go from there. Just make it personal, put thought into it, have fun, and be safe. Valentine’s Day is truly the holiday where the gift comes from the heart. Happy Valentine’s Day to all from The Keystone staff!

KU winter safety

By Brenna EverdaleAssistant Opinions Editor

On Thursday, Feb. 8, the KU Office of University Relations sent out an email apologizing for the hazardous campus conditions. Despite the hard work of the snow and ice control teams, several areas of the campus could not be cleared in time for class. The result was a very dangerous and slow walk to and from class on Thursday and Friday. In the mass email, the Office of University Relations admitted the main pathways had been insuf-ficiently cleared and instructed students to use the ADA accessible walkways, effectively redirecting the majority of foot traffic to these routes. This is by no means a per-fect solution, as it creates conges-tion along these pathways, making it harder for students to get to class. These paths are also longer, adding to the time it takes to get to class. Thus, many students will naturally be tempted to take the more dangerous routes in order to get to class on time.

According to Kutztown’s policy on Weather Related Schedules, “The decision to cancel, close, delay openings, or close early is made by the president of the university in consultation with the provost and a designated vice president.” Perhaps in the future this winter, President Cevallos will cancel or delay classes if the ice cannot be effectively cleared in time. We must all remember that rough winters are simply a reality of living in Pennsylvania, and even if the president failed to make the right call, nobody can be blamed for bad weather. So remember to take respon-sibility for your own safety this winter by sticking to the ADA accessible walkways and reporting problem areas on campus to the Facilities Work Control Center at 610-683-1594 or [email protected]. If you keep a car on campus, remember to keep a shovel in the trunk in case you get stuck in the parking lots. You can even borrow one from both MSU and the Hous-ing and Residence Life Office.

New bill threatens separation of church and state By Kevin Gareau

Contributing Writer

A new bill has passed that will require most public buildings to have the words “In God We Trust” displayed. I am a humanist and do not be-lieve in a supreme being whether it be Yahweh, Allah, Jehovah, Vishnu, or Zeus. So, not only am I opposed to the words “In God We Trust,” but also any statement that gives legitimacy to a deity. This country is one founded on secular principles, and the display of such statements as “In God We Trust” violates our separation of church and state. Furthermore, why are we dis-cussing this? Why is this import-ant? We should be focusing on something more useful like the

fact that our entire country is in trillions of dollars in debt and it is not going to go away any time soon. Also, what about addressing im-migration reform or trying to get

our public health care program to work? That is what the Democrats are saying, according to NPR. But, with our government, we will be lucky to have a working public health care system and immigra-

tion reform in fifty years. NPR also reports that the Re-publican stance on this was that the bill should go through. Why? Because, according to Virginia Representative Randy Forbes, “it is appropriate for Members of Congress and our nation - like our predecessors – to firmly declare our trust in God.” Our president, on the other hand, has stated that he thinks the coun-try’s motto is actually what it has been really since its inception: “E pluribus unum.” or “Out of many, one.” That is a statement of unity we can all get behind because we are all human and any one of us can identify with those words. As a union, we are a nation of many nationalities, ethnicities and lifestyles. We do not need belief in a god to bring us together.

Kutztown University’s electron-ic media majors create, produce and broadcast KU-TV programs on local television channels. EM students are academically respon-sible for television courses as classes and students also chose to produce extra curricular program-ming. This semester, there are five shows that air throughout the week, broadcasting to every television on campus, off campus, throughout Berks County and the greater Lehigh Valley by cable provider Service Electric. KU-TV’s longest running pro-gram, “Newsbreak” is a 15 min-ute-long program outlining major news stories of the week. This se-mester, “Newsbreak” will feature more local news reports detailing events in town and at the univer-sity. Previously, “Newsbreak” has been a pre-recorded show, but this semester all broadcasts will be live. For all KU news, check out “Newsbreak” on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 7:30 p.m. or visit their YouTube page, www.you-tube.com/user/KUNewsbreak. Also on KU-TV, a regional Emmy Award winning show, “Camera One,” is ready for a brand new season, with brand new hosts. The magazine show features places to visit, things to do and attractions to see in Berks County and the Lehigh Valley. KU students, Dustin Seyler and

KU Presents! hosts children’s theatre

Local children get comfortable acting in two shows on Feb. 15

By Emily LeaymanEditor in Chief

After only a week of rehears-als, over 50 of the children from the community will participate in Missoula Children’s Theatre’s “Hansel and Gretel” on Saturday, Feb. 15 at 2 and 4 p.m. in Schaef-fer Auditorium. According to KU Presents! Director Robin Zaremski, tickets for either show can be purchased for $12 in the KU Presents! Box Office this week during the re-hearsals from 4 to 8 p.m., the day of the show or online at kutztown-presents.org. The process started when two directors from Missoula held an audition on Monday, Feb. 10. The children who signed up went through auditions from 4 to 6 p.m. The Missoula directors “had it down to a science,” said Zaremski, having children do exercises such as certain casting challenges. By the time the group took a break at 6 p.m., they had the cast list and were ready to practice. The children were put into groups based on their age, accord-ing to Zaremski. Older children got speaking roles, while young-er children were more likely in

groups. The cast also rehearses at differ-ent times from Tuesday to Friday, depending on their parts. The technical rehearsal is on Friday. The Sunshine Players, a KU student group that organizes performances with children, is assisting with the rehearsals and show. Johanna Forte, part of the KU Presents! Cultural Arts Com-mittee, and advisor of the Sun-shine Players, wanted the group to help out with the show. Forte, also director of the KU Honors Program, got Honors students to volunteer to supervise the children alongside the Sunshine Players. Honors students will also usher, as they did for a past KU Presents! program, Ensemble Español. Missoula Children’s Theatre came to KU before with a perfor-mance of “The Princess and the Pea” in January, 2009. Zaremski said they are coming back because their last show was very success-ful. KU Presents! is recording the show for parents. Zaremski believes it is a good program to get children out of the house in the winter and is a “no pressure” way of getting them comfortable with performing and being onstage. She hopes that many students, along with the Sunshine Players and volunteers, will come out to see the production that was produced in only a week.

Junior Nick Stover said he first applied to KU’s art program because his high school teachers recommended Kutztown’s respect-ed communication design depart-ment. He is continuing his love for art and has been a featured artist in the McFarland Student Union building. His current project that is being featured was created for his Illus-tration course. The project was to illustrate a person and passenger who are traveling on a voyage. “I decided to depict a sitter on the voyage through life that is embracing infinite intelligence,” Stover said. “The digital painting

combines a photorealistic and a painterly style to show the strug-gle between achieving infinite intelligence and the imperfections of mankind.” Stover said that he first started to enjoy art when he was in elemen-tary school. He became active in it and continued to take art classes throughout high school. He is a communication design major with concentrations in graphic design and illustration. The communication design pro-gram pushes students by assigning challenging projects and setting deadlines. Stover said his favorite professor is Rick Salafia. “His class was my very first class I had here,” he said. “His immense knowledge of art, design and conceptual thinking is what sparked my passion for design.” Though Stover is enjoying his artwork during college, he contin-

ues to look into the future. After he graduates, he plans to move to New York City to search for a career in graphic design. “I would ultimately like to work in a small design studio,” he said. Art professors provide students with a wide variety of projects to assure that each student is gaining a broad education, as well as prac-ticing their preferred skills. Stover said that he tries to make concep-tual design work that is specific to who he is designing for. “I have been enjoying using experimental techniques in my design to create meaningful and unique pieces,” he said. To gain professional experience, Stover is a monitor in the print lab in Sharadin Art Building. He is also the assistant for the com-munication design department. Stover became an art major so that he could wake up every day and

express his creativity. “We get to use art and design to solve problems, which is exciting to me,” he said. While he loves his major, he finds it stressful at times because there is always work to do. “It is time consuming, but I wouldn’t want to be doing anything else with my life,” said Stover. His favorite project is the con-ceptually illustrated book that he

created for Ralph Waldo Emer-son’s, “Nature.” “I am a huge Emerson fan, and I enjoyed depicting his text with visuals. It [the book] included a lot of research and experimentation, which I love about the design process,” said Stover. For younger students interested in an art major, Stover said to work hard, find inspiration in ev-erything, make meaningful work and find a mentor to learn from.

Three former KU students formed a band while attending school and are still rocking out. Since graduating, the rock based band, Keep Out of Reach, has expanded and now includes Pat Day on drums and percussion, Ny-gel Flaherty as the lead vocalist, Dylan Flaherty as lead guitar-ist and back up vocalist, Kyle Schreiber as bass and vocalist and Joseph Tomlin on piano, organ

and harmonica. The band credits their musical influences to Tom Petty, The Black Keys, The Beatles, U2 and Kings of Leon. Keep Out of Reach con-siders their songs as mainly rock/alternative, but they also experi-ment with other genres, including blues, country and folk music. “We quickly built a reputation for having a very diverse sound,” said band member, Dylan Fla-herty. “People have told us after shows that they enjoyed the fact that our originals never sound the same and that we make the covers our own.” The band is open-minded

Australian artist featured in Sharadin art gallery

Dust designs displayed at KU through March

By Jacob SchaubContributing Writer

The Marlin and Regina Mill-er Gallery in the Sharadin Arts Building is currently hosting the work of Artist in Residence, Hannah Bertram. Bertram is an Australian artist whose work is made by carefully arranging dust and other such residue into intri-cate patterns that spread across the floor. Entering the gallery, you will be greeted by Bertram’s drawings

can be seen hanging on the walls. Continuing through the exhibit, two pedestals covered in vials of dust are arranged and labeled. The dust Bertram uses comes from vacuum cleaners, Australia, Norway and Sharadin’s own art studios. The dust makes up Ber-tram’s palette of color and texture. In the main section of the

gallery, you will be greeted by Bertram’s painstaking pieces: a careful arrangement of patterns

both traditional and contemporary. Bertram’s work explores the ephemeral, which is designed to not last for very long. According to Hannahbertram.com, Bertram said: “My work is intentionally designed to decay, deteriorate and frequently exists in fluid states of becoming and disappearing. De-veloping works which are fleeting

in duration, and whose content is dependent on its temporal na-ture, allows me to investigate the

tension between a desire for permanence and the inevita-bility of impermanence.” Bertram achieves this affect through her medium of dust; a material so fragile that a stray sneeze can scat-ter it across the room. On top of its fragile nature, dust is also a marker for the pass-ing of time, which relates to dust settling in an artist’s studio as they spend long hours working on projects. Vacuum cleaner dust is an accumulation of unwanted leavings of domestic time. As skin sheds and re-grows, dust spreads across the en-vironment, marking humans time here. Eventually, all

things are ground to dust. The show will be displayed in the gallery until March 14. The dust will be swept up and the gal-lery cleaned to make way for the next show. The Marlin and Regina Miller Gallery is open Sundays from 2 to 4 p.m., Tuesday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and Saturdays from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.

Horoscope: AquariusAquarius traits

and lifestyle

By Haley BiancoArts and Entertainment Editor

Were you born between Jan. 20 and Feb. 18? If the answer is yes, that makes you an Aquar-ius. Those who fall under this horoscope sign are said to be “the trailblazers of Zodiac,” according to astrology.com. Aquarians are the eleventh sign of the zodiac and are known for their human-itarian and philanthropic interests. According to astrology.com, “Aquarians are visionaries; progressive souls who love to spend time thinking about how things can be better.” Aquarians strive to make the world a better place, and they have many friends to help them. It does not take long until an Aquarius shares their innovative thoughts and ideas with friends, but they like things to be done their way. “Even though Aquarians are happy to give, and they do, it's of-ten on their terms and within their comfort level,” stated astrology.com. If someone disagrees with an Aquarius, they may become impatient and temperamental. That is because Aquarians are individualistic beings who enjoy their freedom to do as they please. “If it's new, radical and rebel-lious, Aquarians are all over it.

The fact that these folks can think so creatively and innovatively is one of their greatest assets,” stated astrology.com. The energy around an Aquarius is strong and vibrant, which is emphasized by their stern approach to accomplishing tasks in their own creative, offbeat way. “I feel like some people don’t fit their horoscopes at all, but I really am the epitome of an Aquarius,” said KU senior, Geena Wallace.

“I’m always complimented for doing things my own original way and for expressing my creativity.” When it comes to relationships, Aquarians have strong bonds with family and friends. They are often deemed playful and sometimes even flirtatious. In a romantic re-lationship, an Aquarius will not be jealous. Their best love matches are Libra, Gemini, Sagittarius and Aries. In 2014, Aquarians will empha-size communication in all areas of their lives including career com-munication, love communication and self-communication. For more on Aquarius horoscopes, check out astrology.com. Look out for the next Keystone horo-scope article on Pisces, born between Feb. 19 and March 20.

Mobile app launches new wave of couponing at KUStudent discounts available for local

businessesBy Joe Favinger

Contributing Writer

Have you noticed those dol-lar-bill themed coupon books floating around campus this past year? Did you know there was an app for it as well? Thanks to Campus Special, a college marketing firm, everyone can now use coupons in an extremely easy fashion. This past summer three KU students, Kevin O’ Donnell, Joe Favinger and Kylie Jann par-ticipated in an internship with Campus Special. Campus Special specializes in couponing on col-

lege campuses. “Our job was to sign-up nearby

businesses to advertise in these mediums,” said O’Donnell. “Then we distributed them freely to KU students. Once the book was cre-ated, it was our duty to put these

booklets in the students’ hands, and to encourage them to down-

load the complementary app.” So what are the perks of the mobile app? As an app, it can be accessed at anytime of the day with the use of a smartphone.

“The coupon booklet is good to use at times if you’re in your apartment or dorm, but if you’re at Mamma’s Pizza getting a late night snack and you forget to bring the book, the app is handy since it’s right on your phone,” said KU student Sam Melchi-orre. “Not only that, but if you’re looking to order food from your apartment, you can do it all on the app, no calling or confusion needed.” The online ordering is anoth-er advantage of this app. It also features loyalty punch cards, Facebook integration and Push-to-Call features for easier student to business connections. If you’re looking to order some Pretzel Rev on a Friday night, in need of school supplies from Busi-ness Link or a haircut at West End

Salon, the Campus Special app and coupon book offers desirable discounts. To get the application, go to the app store on your phone, tablet or iPad and download Cam-pus Special for free.

Wrestling improves 10-4 after back-to-back victories

Alderson Broaddus

By Pat ZazzarinoAssistant Sports Editor

On Saturday, Feb. 8, 2014, the Kutztown University wrestling team won back-to-back meets against Seton Hill University and Alderson Broaddus University at the McKenna Center. The Golden Bears are now 10-4, and are ranked number two in the PSAC and number eleven nationally. According to an article on the KU Bears website written by Alex Slocum, the Sports Information Graduate Assistant, KU had a plethora of victories that day, despite two forfeits at 133 pounds. KU wrestlers Mitch Voelker, Jackson Stabile, Bo Candelaria, and Giovanni Ortiz were just some of KU’s playmakers that sealed the wins for Kutztown. KU opened with Seton Hill, who is currently 0-7 in Division

Men’s basketball gets re-venge on Golden Rams

Kutztown defeats West Chester for the first time

since 2010

By Lee Finkelstein

Staff Writer On Saturday Feb. 8, Kutztown’s men’s basketball team defeated West Chester for the first time since 2010 with a final score of 73-70. Freshman point guard Fred Dukes IV, who usually comes off

the bench, started his first game of the season and had a career high 18 points. Dukes and sophomore orward Ryan Connolly had a combined 37 points in the game. After defeating West Chester, currently in second place, Kutztown is now tied for fifth place in the PSAC East with Millersville. Kutztown overcame a 16-point deficit and did not lead until the last 1:19. Being 18-for-18 from the free throw line in the second half was a key factor in their come-from-behind victory. KU made 26 of its final 27 free throws to seal the deal. Dukes was 6-for-6 from the stripe, and drained a clutch three-pointer with the shot clock expiring that gave Kutztown its first lead of the game with 1:19 to play. In 33 minutes, he dished out a game-high four assists and

snagged four rebounds. Connolly shot 3-for-4 from the three-point line, and was 100 percent from the free throw line hitting 8-for-8. Six of them came in the final 15 seconds. His 19 points are the most since he scored 20 in the season-opener on Nov. 15. He also pulled down six boards. “It took us a while to recover from a poor start, but I thought we controlled the tempo in the second half,” head coach Bernie Driscoll said. “Ryan and Fred had great games for us tonight.”

Kutztown’s defense held West Chester to just 33 points in the second half. They trailed by a game-high 16 points with 3:37 to play in the first half. West Chester then made two free throws with two seconds left as KU trailed 37-29 at halftime. With 2:23 to play, Elijah Jackson made two free throws to bring KU within two (62-60) for the first time of the second half. West Chester continued to make quick driving layups but continued to foul and Kutztown answered by making both free throws. Point guard Austin Beidelman scored 11 points while fellow freshman Josh Johnson led the team in rebounding with seven. The Golden Bears will continue their road trip on Wednesday, Feb. 12 when they face off against Cheyney University at 8 p.m.

II in the PSAC, according to the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference website. The match began with a strange 6-6 start due to a forfeit from Seton Hill at 125 pounds, and from KU at 133 pounds. Later on, Voelker, Stabile and Ortiz all won their respective matches, tallying three points each by decision. After another forfeit win at 157

for KU, Candelaria dominated Christian Bosco for a convincing 12-0 victory. Andrew Kinney for Kutztown pinned Tyler Dombrowski winning his match 7-0, giving KU another three points. They would win the rest of their matches to secure a dominating 41-6 victory.

In their second match, Kutztown faced off against Alderson Broaddus University for the second time this season. According to the article by Slocum, KU defeated Alderson at the beginning of the 2013-14 season with a final score of 47-3. KU would once again overpower Alderson. They won every match with the

exception of a forfeit at the 133 pound match, the only time Alderson got on the board. Nick Lamoreaux opened with a convincing victory over Cody Buchanan 8-4, also giving KU its first three points. After the forfeit, it was an all-out Golden Bear assault. Matt Martoccio and Erik

Dejong for KU both secured pins, to increase their lead

by 12. The match ended with Alderson forfeiting the final 285 pound match, and KU emerging victorious with a final score of 38-6. KU will return home this Friday, Feb. 14 against Shippensburg University for Senior Night.

By Zach PayneStaff Writer

The Kutztown University women’s basketball team fell to West Chester University by the score of 81-65 on Sat. Feb. 8, at Hollinger Fieldhouse in West Chester. The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference Eastern Division matchup was a close game for most of the first half, but the Golden Bears were ultimately unable to regain momentum after a late first half run by the Golden Rams. Heading into the second half, West Chester (16-6, 11-1 PSAC East) extended its 8-0 run to an 11-0 run with a three-pointer. From that point on, Kutztown (7-14, 4-7 PSAC East) played from behind, and they were never able to pull the game to within one possession. The Golden Bears narrowed the deficit to four points a few times in the second half, but they couldn’t get over the hump. An 8-0 run by West Chester with under six minutes to play in the

Golden Bear Wrestling remains third in regional ranksBy Alex Slocum

Sports Information Graduate Assistant

The Kutztown University wrestling program maintained its third slot in the newest edition of the NCAA Division II Super Region I Rankings released Tuesday afternoon. There were no adjustments to the team rankings from the poll released Jan. 28. Notre Dame (Ohio) remains in the top spot, followed by Mercyhurst in second, Kutztown in third, Pitt-Johnstown in fourth, and Gannon rounding out the top five. Kutztown (10-4, 4-1 PSAC) is still represented in nine out of the 10 individual weight class rankings. Mitch Voelker (Shoemakersville, PA/Schuylkill Valley) moved up one spot to third at 141 pounds, hurdling David Charles of Millersville after Voelker defeated Charles in a dual meet two weeks ago.
