Students by day, superheroes by nightBy Lilly Forsyth
THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Members of the Alliance for Heroic Hearts are normal stu-dents by day. But by night, they become superheroes in hopes of bringing smiles to kids’ faces.
Founded during the 2014 fall semester, the organization, for-merly known as “Superheroes for Kids,” has now grown to over a dozen cosplay-ers who dress up in cos-tumes and visit hospi-tals, malls, libraries and schools.
Some of the activi-ties members participate in include hosting tu-toring sessions, attending speaking events and entertaining birthday parties.
“My favorite events are com-munity events. We run a super-hero training program at Cen-ter Elite gym. We have kids go through stations and learn how to be a superhero,” Claire Moli-toris, vice president of AHH, said. “I work with Superman teaching the kids how to fly and swing on the rope into the foam pit.”
Molitoris (junior-theatre) dresses as two characters, Cin-
derella and Poison Ivy. Because there are so many variations of the DC villain character, Molito-ris had to make adjustments to the costume when a more classic rendition did not register with as much of the audience.
“One group of little girls came running up to me screaming ‘Poi-son Ivy!’ like you would hear at a boy band concert,” Molitoris said.
“They were so excited, telling me that they were my biggest fan and fighting over who knew more about me. It was really exciting to see them get excited to see me.”
Other famous characters often portrayed by members include Supergirl, the Flash, Star-Lord, Belle and Batman.
“I chose Star-Lord because I love his sense of humor and largely identity with him on a personal level because of his personality and taste in music,”
Andy Galata said. Because most members play
several characters, Galata (ju-nior-criminology) does hope to “branch out” to another alter-ego but has yet to decide who he should portray next.
Each of the costumes are paid out-of-pocket by or-ganization members, while all group funds stem from donations.
H o w e v e r, the team as a whole strives to showcase quality cos-tumes. The o r g a n i z a -tion often s u p p o r t s m e m b e r s by working to find the cheapest yet best quality pieces.
“We strive to make the most durable and highest quality costumes pos-sible. For some of us, this means just buying an entire costume, while others choose to assemble it piece by piece with parts from different places,” Galata said.
From an outsider perspective, some may believe this group is just about dressing up and hav-
ing fun, but members expressed it was just as much work as play.
“The club requires a lot of dedi-cation and more hard work than y o u m i g h t
expect,” Galata said, “but if you go to events and interact with the kids, you get a more fun and meaningful experience.”
Dan Truong, the club’s social
media director, said those inter-ested in joining AHH can sign up during the summer and should reach out to the club’s president, Bryan Bonds, at [email protected]. A person interested in join-
ing the organization will be asked to fill out clearance
forms and provide a cos-tume.
The non-profit organization may
have changed its name and has allowed villains and princess into their mix, but their mission remains the same.
“ W e ’ r e more than
just a Penn State club,”
Truong (senior-c o m m u n i c a t i o n
arts and science) said, “...with a goal
to educate, encour-age and inspire children
of all ages, as well as adults, that they too can heroes with hopes, dreams, expression, and creativity.”

Penn State African Students Association’s 50th anniversary to bring a renewed focus on inclusion, engagement
‘Africa for the world’
By Lauren LeeTHE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Before Saeyee Lyon came to campus, she searched online for
an African Students Association at Penn State.
Now, she is the president of Penn State’s chapter — one
of the university’s largest organizations on campus.
“I wanted to know that there was an organiza-
tion where I could ex-press myself,” Lyon (junior-health policy
and education) said. And, soon to
be celebrating its 50th anniver-
sary, ASA has big plans for
the future under its new lead-
ership. B u t ,
established in 1969, ASA has deep roots in Penn State’s history. With a mission statement “to unite the sons and daughters of the motherland,” Lyon said the organization was created to unite African students at Penn State who felt as though they didn’t have a place to be themselves or express their culture, while also becoming a unified body to build relationships with uni-versity administration, fellow student organizations and the Penn State com-munity.
Half a century later, she still wants to uphold that mission — with a new twist.
The major theme of the upcoming year will be inclusivity among other di-verse cultural groups on campus and members within ASA.
The organization’s programming chair, Ijeoma Onu-Chiedo, said she’s ready for ASA to expand to other com-munities.
“We don’t want people to think we only want African people. We want all types of people to be involved,” Onu-Chiedo (junior- international politics) said. “We want to embrace everyone’s culture; we want Indian; we want Chi-nese; we want it all.”
As there are different countries and unique tribes within many of those countries in Africa, Onu-Chiedo said this initiative was inspired by her own experiences with her heritage.
“Everyone’s different. No one is the same,” Onu-Chiedo said. “You can’t
even try to stay away from other cul-tures because everyone is different
even in your own country.” Onu-Chiedo wants all African
students to feel at home — but to also share their vibrant cul-ture with other people.
“Sometimes people don’t
get the best view of us on social media,” Onu-Chiedo said. “So, we want people to see us from our point of view from a younger generation and see what we’re trying to do with our culture.”
Onu-Chiedo also said students should look out for upcoming events, as ASA plans to collaborate with other cultural organizations through both dance and social events.
Moving to logistics, Lyon also wants ASA members to have greater say in the club’s decisions.
“I want the organization to be more democratized so that members are ac-tually having a say, even in executive board decisions,” Lyon said.
Previously serving as ASA’s member-ship chair, Lyon said members would come to her and feel as though the organization wasn’t catering to their country’s culture.
“When people think of Africa, some people think of one country. But, when you think of Africa, you think of the motherland. You think of the beauty... You don’t just think of one country,” Lyon said.
In addition, she wants to give back to her members through fundraisers and promoting academic success.
Lyon said she wants to bring back study nights — a time every Monday where members on the executive board with a strong grade in a class would serve as tutors for the general body.
“In any organization on campus, we’re here for students first,” Lyon said. “We know how hard it can get, so we don’t want students to fall behind joining ASA or fall behind getting in-volved. [Academics] is one of the most important things of being here.”

Lyon also understands the parental pressure to succeed in college.
“And just being African, like, African parents do not play with your grades. You need to have all A’s even if it’s not feasible,” Lyon said.
At its core, Lyon wants ASA to serve as a support system.
“It could be hard being at col-lege away,” Lyon said. “Especial-ly being African and coming to a [predominately white institution] could be very hard because peo-ple don’t understand your culture. You don’t really see other people who understand your culture or share the same culture with you.”
Throughout the year, ASA hosts a variety of events that in-clude the Miss Africa pageant, Af-rofest during the same weekend of Arts Fest and Touch of Africa.
“That’s our big showcase to showcase African culture,” Lyon said. “The theme of this year’s Touch of Africa event was fo-cused on highlighting the various achievements of Africans.”
And every Friday, the orga-nization hosts meetings to dis-cuss various topics occurring on
campus or around the world, both controversial and conversational. Lyon said she consistently learns something new each time.
Onu-Chiedo said joining ASA was a great transition for her when she first came to Penn State.
“It was more of helping find myself, finding friends, feeling at home and embracing my culture with other people,” Onu-Chiedo said.
Coming from a Nigerian heri-tage, Onu-Chiedo said although she rarely meets anyone from her family’s tribe in Nigeria, usually only meeting people from other tribes within the country.
“[But,] it’s still cool to see a different part of my country from other people,” Onu-Chiedo said.
Through ASA, Onu-Chiedo was able to meet people from countries other than her own — including her best friend, from Senegal.
“I like to engage and embrace her culture. It’s nice seeing ev-eryone come together with their different parts and bring it all together as one,” Onu-Chiedo said with a smile. “Just different parts, different cultures to make us more colorful.”
As soon as she joined the or-ganization, she started dancing
in ASA’s Afrique Fusion, a dance team that favors “Afro-beats.”
“It’s kind of like hip hop with an African twist to it,” Onu-Chiedo said. “So it’s really upbeat. Some-times we take from other cul-tures such as the Haitian dance ‘Kompa’ — you know, very slow, romantic type dances. We really take and pull from everywhere just to bring it all together.”
Daniel Wells, class of 2017, joined ASA “by accident,” origi-nally thinking he was just trying out for Afrique Fusion. However, Wells quickly “fell in love” with the organization, as he felt like it was his “first real touch” with his culture.
“Being African American, we can sometimes be out of touch with our roots,” Wells said. “I don’t even know where I come from, but I do know I have roots in Africa, so it’s good to see all the different cultures and customs and food together — it’s beauti-ful.”
Wells said he wants to see ASA continue to thrive.
“I want them to be so big that they can’t do Touch of Africa at the [Bryce Jordan Center]. They would have to find an even bigger venue,” Wells said.
Lyon hopes she will come back in 10 years and see the
organization collaborating with people from even more cultures.
“For Africans, going around people who may be white or dif-ferent cultural backgrounds that are not African or black can be uncomfortable to them, espe-cially [those] who grew up in Af-rica their whole life,” Lyon said. “I feel like that could help them — working with people who aren’t just in the black community.”
From the very beginning, Lyon always had the best time being a part of ASA.
“It’s lit. Just being African — and our culture is always already a good time,” Lyon said.
At the end of the day, Lyon said she is determined to build relation-ships with all communities at Penn State.
“I just want people who are
in ASA or who hear about ASA to know that this is the African Stu-dents Association for all of us,” Lyon said. “Africa for the world.”

Students describe life abroad
By Patrick NewkumetTHE DAILY COLLEGIAN
Penn State’s study abroad programs can be a daunting and complicated option for many students trying to deter-mine their academic path.
While university officials do a good job of describing the costs and benefits of studying internationally, sometimes
student testimonial can offer a more genu-ine take on the experience.
Most students who venture abroad for a semester will do so through Penn State’s University Office of Global Programs.
Spanning 50 countries, students can choose from almost 300 different programs through the university.
From London, Eng-land, to Tokyo, Japan, to Budapest, Hungary — Penn State students are relatively bound-less in accessing their international desires.
Grant Wierman, Alex Zhao, and Ally St.
Jeanos all recently finished a summer semester in Florence, Italy at the Penn State affiliate university, International Studies Institute. Though they all had positive experiences, certain aspects of the semester were addressed.
Learning in a foreign en-vironment can often mean adjusting to native professors. For American citizens, this can result in discontent over language and
cultural barriers.“You have to actively commu-
nicate with Italian professors, not just about academics, but also their lives and culture,” Zhao said.
The process of adapting to foreign professors can be helpful in assimilating into your abroad country. For others, however, having American professors while abroad allowed for a bit of solace in the classroom.
“It was nice that there were some Penn State professors on the trip to help with getting adjusted. Everything ran very smoothly and they gave enough freedom for us to decide how our experience was going to be,” Wierman said.
A major factor in choosing a study abroad program can be the language barrier. Some students may feel more comfortable in English-speaking countries, while others tend to enjoy the challenge of adapting to a new language.
“I chose Italy because I have been studying Italian for a while, so the language barrier wasn’t a huge issue for me. For my friends, it was a bit of a struggle but I don’t think they would have chosen an English-speaking country. The foreign language definitely added to the experience,” St. Jeanos said.
The Office of Global Programs anticipates cultural disorientation in students, as their website states, “It can be difficult to adjust to life in a foreign culture because you suddenly realize that many of these types of customs and expectations, which seem so intuitive at home, can be unexpectedly different abroad.”
They indicate symptoms of this culture shock; which include “extreme” homesickness, depression, feelings of helpless-ness, and hyper-irritability.
Though these may seem worrisome, there are many ways to alleviate or avoid this shock. For starters, it may be best to “admit your bias and anticipate a bit of cultural discomfort,”
according to the website.
“I did feel some culture shock while abroad, but nothing abnormal. I think it’s a good thing to have some culture shock because it helps you to adapt and grow as a person,” St. Jeanos said.
Some culture shock can be found in small instances. Researching these differences before going abroad can help the transition go smoothly.
“I wish I had looked into how they dressed in Italy. I didn’t pack enough clothes that fit their style so I often felt like I stuck out,” Wi-erman said.
Others wished they had prepared for minor inconvenienc-es.
“The only thing I would have liked to have known before I went abroad was the struggles of daily life, such as not having a dryer or air conditioning,” St. Jeanos said.
Living in another country as an American can certainly be dangerous at times, and your behavior can have a large impact on your vulnerability.
“Don’t do anything stupid like getting drunk. Remember, when you are studying abroad, you represent not just yourself, but also your college and your country,” Zhao said.
Global Affairs recognizes the possibility for students to encounter conflict while abroad; as their website advises tac-tics such as “mini-mize speaking in loud American English in public spaces, do not go out alone at night and avoid high-risk situations.”
Students abroad often find a commu-nity among them-selves during their experience.
H o w -ever, getting to know the native members of a city can prove beneficial.
“The best piece of advice I would give is to meet people outside of the study abroad program. One of the best experiences I had was when I hung out with an Italian family all day and got to learn a lot about their culture,” Wierman said.
Ultimately, the students felt the program itself was run well— allowing for the experience to be unfettered by systematic woes.
“[Global Affairs] did a great job of making the students feel settled and comfortable while also giving them the freedom to make the travel abroad experience their own. It was very well organized and put together,” St. Jeanos said.

Ciao dal Vaticano!

Four years ago, twin brothers Harshal and Himanshu Deshmukh discovered their friend did not know how to operate a computer.
They soon began teaching her how to use one during weekends.
However, their friend was not the only student in their community who did not know how to use a computer — many students living in rural areas of the Indian state of Maharashtra were never taught computer skills.
The brothers sought to change this, and in October 2015 they launched Project USHA, an or-ganization created to teach rural students in India how to use a computer.
“Usha” is the Sanskrit word for “dawn,” symbolizing the start of a new life for students who learn to use a computer.
What started with one friend would eventually become over 3,000 students from 12 different schools in 11 villages across the state of Maharashtra.
Harshal, an incoming Penn State freshman studying economics, said Project USHA allows him to serve his community by teaching them
technological basics their public-school system does not teach.
The brothers and over 160 Project USHA volunteers teach students how to use programs such as Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint, as well as how to use the Internet for tasks like online shopping, payment and reservations.
Through education, Project USHA provides students with skills essential for many different jobs. However, it also gives them the ability to complete a high school education.
Harshal said that educa-tion in many schools stop between eighth and 10th grade in Maharashtra. In order to gradu-
ate, students must take online classes — something they cannot do if they don’t know how to use a computer.
To begin teaching the students, Project USHA volunteers help familiarize students with the computer’s hardware, such as the keyboard, screen and mouse. They then teach the students how to use the computer, which Harshal said the students master after a few days.
“In my experience, students from villages are very brilliant,” Harshal said. “They are very excited to learn how to use a computer.”
Harshal and Himanshu learned how to use a computer in
fifth grade because they were “fortunate enough” to at-tend a private school. Harshal credited the lack of computer education in some Maharash-trian public schools to political and economic problems in the state.
He said the lack of technolog-ical education endangers both the schools and the students.
In order to reach students across Maharashtra, Project USHA’s volunteers travel to a village, find out how many schools are in that village and begin teaching the students.
Students who already know how to use a computer have the opportunity to become a volunteer after completing a training process.
Shubham Bhujade, 20, of Maharashtra, was one of many people taught by Proj-ect USHA. Bhujade, who was a farm laborer before his com-puter education, is now a vil-lage coordinator in his commu-nity and volunteers for Project USHA.
“Project USHA provided me the stage to show my computer skills and my ability to teach,” Bhujade said in a translation via email. Visit collegian.psu.edu to read the full story.

Math Class: What are the odds?Editor’s Note: To start our new ‘Summer School’ series, we dive into
everyone’s favorite subject: Math! Luckily, this is nothing like Math 140.
By Thomas Schlarp THE DAILY COLLEGIAN
With the U.S Supreme Court’s decision in May to legalize sports gambling, states are just beginning to explore the untapped frontier that has long been left to Las Vegas and the black market.
While Pennsylvania is still in the process of approving legislation, surrounding states like New Jersey and Delaware have already rolled out legalized wagering.
What better way to practice a little math and probability in the summer than to look at some current football odds to win titles and some of the biggest awards.
According to VegasInsider.com, Penn State has the sixth-best odds at winning the College Football Playoff National Championship and third-best odds to win the Big Ten.
National Championship:Alabama: 12/5Clemson: 6/1Georgia: 15/2
Ohio State: 15/2Michigan: 14/1
Penn State: 20/1
Big Ten:Ohio State: 7/4Wisconsin: 3/1Penn State: 9/2Michigan: 6/1
The Nittany Lions peak at third in the Wynn Las Vegas National Championship odds.
The Wynn has Penn State at +700, meaning a $100 bet on Penn State to win the title would return $700. Alabama leads at -125, meaning a $125 wager would win you $100. Ohio State checks in at second with +400 odds.
Heisman TrophyIn the Las Vegas Superbook’s odds for the 2018 Heisman Trophy, Trace McSorley is
the fourth favorite to win the award for the best player in college football, with 18/1 odds. Wisconsin running back Jonathan Taylor is the only Big Ten player ranked above Mc-Sorley, coming in third with 8/1 odds. Two opponents Penn State defense will be tasked with slowing down are also among the top 10 favorites. Michigan quarterback Shea Pat-terson and Ohio State running back J.K. Dobbins are tied at 10th with 20/1 odds.
Odds:Bryce Love, RB, Stanford: 6/1
Tua Tagovailoa, QB, Alabama: 8/1
Jonathan Taylor, RB, Wisconsin: 8/1
Trace McSorley, QB, Penn State: 18/1
Jake Fromm, QB, Georgia: 18/1
NFL Offensive Rookie of the YearAlthough Saquon Barkley ultimately came up short in the 2017 Heisman race, he was
among the preseason favorites. This is a trend he has extended into his NFL career, as the second-overall pick in the
NFL Draft is the odds-on choice to win the 2018 NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year, ac-cording to Bovada.
Barkley’s odds of +140 are twice as great as the second favorite, Cleveland Browns quarterback and No. 1 draft pick, Baker Mayfield, at +400.
Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen and Arizona Cardinals quarterback Josh Rosen round at the top four, each posting odds of +900.
An interesting note, however, is last year’s rookie of the year, Saints running back Alvin Kamara, was not even given odds to win the award.

History class: Looking back 10 yearsEditor’s note: Continuing our new ‘Summer
School’ series, we head to the stacks of Pattee li-brary to open up our history books to revisit the 2008 Penn State football team 10 years later.
By Tyler KingTHE DAILY COLLEGIAN
It’s safe to say a lot has changed within the Penn State football program over the last 10 years.
Aside from the program’s image being altered for-ever, the team on the field looks completely different.
The current team, led by James Franklin, plays an up-tempo offense that thrives off big plays and never goes under center (and doesn’t have a fullback).
But in 2008, Joe Paterno was still the head coach and his team had a distinct style of play. The back-bone of the team was always the defense, which al-ways had an elite group of linebackers, while the of-fense played a lot of I formation and focused heavily on grinding out drives with the running game.
The 2008 season was a roller coaster in many dif-ferent ways and was arguably the last time the Nit-tany Lions were legitimate title contenders under Paterno.
Let’s take a look at some of the key moments from that 11-win season.
Offensive explosion in the nonconferencePenn State came into the season ranked No. 22 in the
Associated Press’ preseason poll. But after four weeks, the Nittany Lions jumped 10 spots all the way up to No. 12.
How did that happen? Paterno’s squad obliterated ev-erything in its path during the nonconference schedule, outscoring its four opponents by a total of 211-40, scoring more than 45 points in all four contests.
The Nittany Lions opened up the season in Beaver Sta-dium with a dominant, 66-10 victory over Coastal Carolina and then followed that up with a convincing, 45-14 home win over Oregon State.
After a road win in the Carrier Dome against Syra-cuse, Penn State capped off its nonconference schedule with a win against Temple. A scoreless first quarter had fans inside Beaver Stadium a little on edge, but a 31-point
outburst in the second quarter quickly put any worries to bed. Daryll Clark accounted for three touchdowns in the quarter (two through the air and one on the ground).
It wasn’t just the 546 total yards of offense that was im-pressive in the win over the Owls. Penn State’s defense continued to prove iit was among the nation’s elite, forc-ing Temple to punt 11 times during the game.
Nittany Lions stomp preseason favoritesWhile Ohio State was the favorite to win the Big Ten
heading into the season, Wisconsin and Illinois weren’t too far behind in the early rankings. Penn State proved itself to be formidable heading into Big Ten play and showed that in the first week of conference play against the Illini.
Penn State welcomed Illinois to Beaver Stadium and quickly made the Illini wish they were back in Champaign.
The Nittany Lions took a touchdown lead, 21-14, in
the second quarter and held the same advantage heading into the final quarter after the Illini hit a field goal as the third quarter expired.
The game was still anyone’s to take control of, and on the first play of the fourth quarter, Derrick Williams did just that. The versatile senior wide receiver became a fan favorite throughout his four years in Happy Valley for his ability to find the end zone, whether it was rushing, receiving or on spe-cial teams.
Williams ran the ensuing kickoff 94 yards for a touchdown to put the game away and seal the vic-tory for the Nittany Lions and knocking the Illini out of the top 25.
Just two weeks later, Penn State was in Camp Randall Stadium facing a Wisconsin team that had just suffered back-to-back losses and was in des-perate need of a win to salvage its season.
The Nittany Lions would have none of that, roll-ing to a 48-7 win, shutting out the Badgers in the second half.
Everyone was aware of the Nittany Lions’ talent after that game, as they jumped up to No. 3 in the AP Poll just in time for the two biggest games of the season.
An unforgettable night in ‘The Shoe’After Penn State took care of business at home during
the whiteout game against Michigan, the stage was set for one of the best matchups of the season, No. 3 Penn State against No. 9 Ohio State in Columbus.
It had all the makings of a legendary matchup: College Gameday, Paterno versus Jim Tressel, and freshman phenom Terrelle Pryor versus the stingy Penn State de-fense. The game lived up to the hype.
Both defenses showed up in a big way and in classic Big Ten fashion. The first points weren’t scored until late in the second quarter when both teams managed a field goal in the final two minutes of the half.
Ohio State took a 6-3 lead in the third quarter and was knocking on the door of a potential scoring drive in the fourth quarter.

On a crucial 3rd-and-1, Pryor bounced to the outside on a QB sneak, but Mark Rubin poked the ball out of his hands, and Penn State recovered to take over near midfield.
Clark suffered a concussion on an earlier drive and Pat Devlin took over under center. The backup QB led the Nittany Lions down the field and even-tually scored the game’s only touch-down on 3rd-and-goal from the 1-yard line.
A Kevin Kelly field goal with a little over a minute to go gave Penn State a touchdown lead and an interception by Lydell Sargeant sealed the Nittany Lions’ first victory in Columbus in 30 years.
Heartbreak in Iowa CityJust two weeks after that victorious
night in Columbus, Penn State’s BCS aspirations came crashing down in Iowa City.
Whether it was the rust from hav-ing a week off or the ghosts that haunt Kinnick Stadium visitors during night games, Penn State came out flat and couldn’t come away with its third road win under the lights.
Penn State held a 23-14 lead heading into third quarter after a 9-yard touch-down run by Williams, but the Hawk-eyes scored 10 unanswered points in the final quarter, including the game-
winning, 31-yard field goal in the final seconds, to steal the win.
Rounding out the season
with the Rose BowlPenn State was able to win the final
two games of the regular season and was named co-conference champions alongside Ohio State, which earned the Nittany Lions a trip to the Rose Bowl against USC, a matchup of the No. 5 and 6 ranked teams in the nation.
This was Penn State’s third trip to the Rose Bowl in the program’s his-tory and the first since 1994, when the Nittany Lions capped off an un-defeated season with a 38-20 win over Oregon.
Once again, the winning team scored 38 points, but this time it wasn’t Penn State.
The Nittany Lions and Trojans were deadlocked at 7 apiece after the first quarter, but the seemingly impenetra-ble Penn State defense broke down in the second quarter.
USC, led by quarterback Mark San-chez, scored 24 points on three touch-downs and a field goal in that second quarter to take a convincing 31-7 lead into halftime.
While the Nittany Lions managed to score 17 points in the final quarter, it wasn’t enough to overcome Pete Car-roll’s loaded USC team, ultimately fall-ing by a final of 38-24.
