Harris Returns to Mark Native American Day

In RemembranceAbout 400 Cal U students held a candlelight vigil Oct. 21 in

memory of Jeron Grayson, a Hampton University student whowas fatally shot Oct. 17 at an apartment building on Mechanic

Street in California Borough. Speakers remembered the 18-year-old Pittsburgh man and urged all members of the Cal U commu-

nity to reject violence and take steps to ensure a safe, securelearning environment for all. After the gathering on the Quad,students carried lighted candles to the scene of the shooting,

where a unity prayer was offered. The vigil was followed by aninspirational talk in the Performance Center and a reception

with pastors from the area. The evening’s events were organ-ized by the Black Student Union and the Office of Greek Affairs.Music was provided by the University Choir and the Young and

Gifted Gospel Choir. Above from left, Cal U students KaylaWilson, Devonna Ageda and Aseelah Allen pause during the

Medieval historians from the UnitedKingdom, China and the United Stateswere among the crowd entranced by

Benjamin Bagby’s performance of Beowulf Oct. 22 inSteele Hall Mainstage Theatre.

A world-renowned early music specialist nowbased in Paris, Bagby chanted, snarled, bellowed andsang the first portion of the Anglo-Saxon epic in theoriginal Old English, accompanying himself on asix-stringed Anglo-Saxon harp.

Although his voice and facial expressions clearlytold the tale, modern English subtitles helped theaudience of nearly 200 follow the story of aScandinavian hero’s battle against a fearsome, man-eating monster.

The performance capped off a three-daysymposium exploring medieval life. Dancing withDeath: Warfare, Wounds and Disease in the Middle Agesexplored war-fighting and medical care in themedieval period.

The multi-disciplinary event was organized byDr. Paul Crawford, professor of ancient andmedieval history in the Department of History andPolitical Science, Dr. Sarah J. Downey, of theEnglish Department, and Dr. Cassandra J. Kuba, ofthe Department of Justice, Law and Society.

Michigan, an internationally respected expert onhistorical combat; and Cliff Rogers, of the U.S. MilitaryAcademy at West Point, a historian who studiesmedieval military history.

Nearly all the speakers attended Bagby’sperformance, which held the audience rapt for morethan 90 minutes.

Among the audience members was Dr. PiersMitchell, of Cambridge University, who delivered thesymposium’s keynote address, “Medieval MedicalCare: Stereotypes and Reality,” on Oct. 21. He alsodiscussed “Paleopathology: The Archaeology of Health

in the Past” on Oct. 22.Mitchell’s talks put to rest some stereotypical

notions about medical care in the Middle Ages.“It is a common misperception that medieval

medicine was full of quacks who traveled to your city,took your money to heal you and then left town beforemore serious symptoms could occur,” he said.“Although there was a good bit of that going on, therewas also a very good network of licensing authoritiesand jurors of the medical profession.”

In addition to talks and workshops, the symposiumincluded displays of longbows and Friesian horses(similar to medieval warhorses) and demonstrations ofhistorical fencing techniques.

Agroup of nationally recognized experts dis-cussed the dynamic and global threat posedby cyber crime at Cal U’s fourth annual

Corporate and Homeland Security Conference, heldOct. 19.

Among the speakers were Washington CountyDistrict Attorney Steven Toprani ’01 and Dr. JamesCarafano, deputy director of the Kathryn andShelby Cullom Davis Institute for InternationalStudies and the director of the Douglas and SarahAllison Center for Foreign Policy Studies. Both aredepartments of the Heritage Foundation, based inWashington, D.C.

Toprani discussed some of the difficulties inprosecuting crimes committed with computers, cellphones or the Internet. He said his office now hascomputer forensic hardware to assist in the investi-gation of these crimes and software to enhancevideo evidence and to analyze cell phone informa-tion

“Nearly all traditional crime has some elementsof electronic evidence used in the offense,” Topranisaid.

Carafano warned that terrorists already haveused information and tools available on the Internetto make plans and even recruit experts who willcarry them out. Even would-be terrorists who aren’tcomputer experts can be dangerous.

“If you are a reasonably educated person withsome time on your hands, you can gain an awful lotof information without hacking into any systems,”Carafano said.

Other speakers were special agents GreggFrankhouser and Mason Drew, of the FBI’s HighTech Computer Crimes Task Force; James Rega, aninvestigator with the Washington County DistrictAttorney’s Office; and Cal U faculty members Dr.Sam Lonich and Dr. Emily Sweitzer.

“We were honored to have high-caliber scholarsand professionals in the field of cyber security bothpresenting cutting-edge information and also attend-ing the event this year,” said Dr. Michael Hummel,dean of the College of Liberal Arts.

More than 150 people attended the conference,which was developed and presented by the Collegeof Liberal Arts and the Department of Justice, Lawand Society.

Five Cal U students gainedexperience teaching in aclassroom setting at

Perryopolis Pioneer Days, held Oct.2-3 at Dr. Harry R. Sampey Park.

Elementary Education majorsKaitlynn Albani and Carlee Forgie,both seniors, and Lauren Satifka,Holly McKean and TereseMarszalek, all juniors, volunteered toteach children about the Civil War atHopewell Schoolhouse, a replica logcabin school within the park.

Perryopolis Pioneer Days is aweekend celebration of the town’sheritage, which dates to the 17thcentury. Festivities included a parade,a Civil War battle re-enactment andmany Civil War-themed activities.

For Cal U students, the festivalwas an opportunity to gain teachingexperience.

“This was a great opportunity tobecome more comfortable andconfident presenting historical topicsin a way children find interesting,”said Albani. “That can sometimes bea challenging issue in an elementarysetting.”

Each student prepared a lessonfor the event. Albani and Forgieworked together to describe theliving conditions of Civil Warsoldiers, and Satifka explored theperiod’s music. McKean discussedlanguage differences through CivilWar letters, and Marszalek spokeabout diseases that were commonthe Civil War era.

The students used entertaining

activities to create a memorablelearning experience.

“We used a Morse code activity,and the children translated ourmessage,” said Forgie. “We also hadsome examples of the foods armieshad to eat, including hardtack, acheap and long-lasting biscuit.”

Students learned about PioneerDays through their Teaching ofSocial Studies for ElementaryGrades class with Dr. RichardWyman, a professor in theDepartment of Elementary/EarlyChildhood Education.

“Participating at Pioneer Days is

voluntary, but I am relating to a classproject that we are working on,” saidMcKean. “In our class we are usingpictures from the Library ofCongress website to write a lessonplan.”

Learning to conduct research anddevelop a compelling lesson plan is acritical part of educational studies atCal U, said the students.

“I think that my educationclasses at Cal U prepared me for thisevent by providing me with theeffective teaching tools I need to gointo an event with confidence andpride,” said Albani.
