Shippensburg discusses
open - container law
BY HANNAH MCMULLAN
Staff Writer
Pubs, block parties
and outdoor festivals may be
in Shippensburg’s future if the
borough council approves of a
proposal for an open container
policy pitched at a recent meet-
ing.
Shippensburg Bor-
ough Council Member Keith
Swartz opened the discussion
for an open alcohol container
policy at the council’s meeting.
The hope for this policy is that
it will attract new businesses to
Shippensburg, including brew-
eries and pubs which will boost
the local economy.
While nothing has been
set in stone, the proposed plan
would allow people to carry
opened containers of alcoholic
beverages from a time frame
of 3 p.m.-8 p.m. within desig-
nated areas.

The council’s idea is to
open more restaurants, pubs
and breweries that would at-
tract more people to the
downtown area. Shippensburg
University’s new brew science
course would bring in more
opportunities for pubs and
breweries to set up shop, ac-
cording to Swartz.
“If we had it in a con-
trolled time, we don’t think
it would cause any problems
downtown,” said Swartz.
Visitors could pass
through multiple establish-
ments, window shop, and sam-
ple different beverages as they
walk down the street to the
next pub, according to Swartz.
The council’s main objec-
tive is to make Shippensburg a
tourist destination. They hope
to attract the parents of col-
lege students as they visit their
child and create positive mem-
ories of the town that will bring
Against Cancer, and an inspir-
ing speech from a cancer sur-
vivor. The opening ceremony
was followed by a survivor
and caregiver lap around the
track to honor those who have
fought and are fighting.
After the event kicked off,
the events of the night com-
menced. Immediately follow-
ing the ceremony, dodgeball
and Miss Relay began.
The winner of Miss Re-
lay, a “pageant” where men put
on dresses and compete to see
who can raise the most money
for charity, was senior Zach
Haines of the Lambda Chi Al-
team.

them back in the future.
Combined with the Ship-
pensburg’s Cumberland Valley
Rail Trail, the open container
policy could make the area
a tourist destination, Swartz
said.
If the proposal were to
take effect, the council would
also plan to create block parties
with live bands once a month
and other outdoor events for
the town to enjoy.
According to Swartz, sur-
rounding municipalities are
working towards loosening
their laws towards an open
container policy, including
Gettysburg and Mechanics-
burg. Carlisle currently has an
outdoor event policy, which al-
lows alcoholic beverages to be
open in certain areas.
Erie, Pennsylvania, has a
complete open container poli-
cy with no restrictions against
drinking in public. It has not
until 11 p.m. It gave those who
have lost a loved one time to
remember and honor them in
a solemn moment by walking
around the track lit by lugg-
minarias with their loved one’s
names on them. The luminaria
is a moment of remembrance
and a reminder of why we re-
lay.
Bryanna Nunnally, a sis-
ter of Kappa Delta Phi Na-
tional Affiliated Sorority and
a member of the Lambda Chi
Alpha and Kappa Delta Phi
NAS team said that the lumi-
naria ceremony is a great time
of reflection and remembrance
for those who have lost a loved
one.

seen any real problems in re-
gard to its policy, according to
Swartz.
“We talked with them and
asked what have the negatives
been—their biggest negative
has been that someone can go
get a 12-pack and sit in the
public park bench and just
drink,” he said.
Swartz continued, “We
are thinking that if there was
a 5-hour time limit and the ar-
eas are regulated, we would not
have a problem with this.”
No decision has been
made yet, however, the board
is in the process of meeting
with Pennsylvania’s Liquor
Control Enforcement to see its
thoughts on the proposal.

the many different options we
can do to make Shippensburg a

Facebook overhauls
messaging ; turns
focus to privacy Cutline

Supporting local business creates a blooming

SAN JOSE, Calif. (Re-
uters) - Facebook Inc debuted
an overhaul of its core social
network on Tuesday, taking its
first concrete steps to refashion
itself into a private messaging
and e-commerce company as
it tries to move past a stream
of scandals while tapping new
revenue sources.
Chief Executive Mark
Zuckerberg unveiled a fresh
design for the world’s biggest
social network that de-em-
phasized its News Feed and
showcased its messaging app,
online marketplace and video-
on-demand site.
The company also rolled
out features aimed at encour-
aging users to interact with
their close social circle as well
as with businesses, such as a
“Secret Crush” option for Face-
book Dating and a tool for ap-
pointment booking.
Zuckerberg in March
promised changes to the ad-
vertising-driven social media
company as it was under regu-
latory scrutiny over propagan-
F8 conference, where the com-
pany gives developers a peek at
new product releases.
Zuckerberg identified pri-
vate messaging, short-lasting
stories and small groups as
the fastest-growing areas of
online communication. In the
last three years, the number of
people using Facebook’s What-
sApp has almost doubled.
The social media compa-
ny is now working on “Light-
Speed” in order to make its
Messenger app smaller in size
and faster.
Facebook will also intro-
duce Messenger for Mac and
Windows and launch a feature
called “Product Catalogue” for
WhatsApp Business. The desk-
top version of Messenger will
be available this fall.
Later this week, Facebook
will run a test in Canada for a
major change to its Instagram
app that would remove the
number of likes on photos as
well as video views from us-
ers’ feeds, permalink pages and
profiles.
tives introduced changes
within the Messenger and
Instagram apps aimed at
helping businesses connect
with customers, including ap-
pointment booking and en-
hanced shopping features as
well as a tool to lure custom-
ers into direct conversations
with companies via ads.
The online ad market is
largely dominated by Face-
book and Alphabet Inc’s
Google. But the field is more
diverse for messaging, e-com-
merce and payments, with big
players like Amazon.com Inc,
Microsoft Corp and eBay Inc
as well as fast-growing Silicon
Valley unicorns like work-
place messaging app Slack
and video conferencing ser-
vice Zoom Video Communi-
cations Inc.
“We’ve shown time and
again as a company that we
have what it takes to evolve,”
Zuckerberg said.

Espresso Bar.
The small coffee shop at-
tracts a number of customers
from various demographics:
Shippensburg locals, Univer-
sity Grille customers, hotel
guests and Shippensburg Uni-
versity students.
Genuine conversations
fill the air between both
friends and strangers.
Light peers through the
back floor to ceiling window,
reaching each corner of the
shop into the hotel lobby.
Walking through the
space, Mitchell Burrows, One
Bean and University Grille
owner, exchanges greetings
with employees and custom-
ers.
Burrows became the sole
owner of One Bean and Uni-
versity Grille this year after
buying out his partner, Mike
Kalathas. But before Burrows
absorbed the responsibilities
of the two Shippensburg native
businesses, he first worked his
way up to his current position.
Burrows enrolled at Ship-
pensburg University in 2005 as
a history and philosophy ma-
jor. In 2007, he began working
as a dishwasher at University
Grille.
From there, he was pro-
moted to cook, then to chef
and, later, general manager be-
fore becoming a legal owner.
One Bean became down-
town Shippensburg’s first cof-
fee shop in 2014 as a result of
an empty space.
It was previously home
to a banquet room in the hotel
lobby corner. After careful con-
sideration, University Grille
management realized that their
original idea, a 7 a.m. to 10
a.m. breakfast lounge wasn’t ef-
ficient.
Instead, it was decided to
open a 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. espresso
bar, open every day to every-
one and not just to hotel guests.
“One Bean is a haven for
people to come in and to meet
with groups or work on proj-
ects long term,” Burrows said.
“Pretty much every day you’ll
find some students or locals
working on something and
they’re just sitting in the shop
for hours, and that’s great for us
because it helps give the place
some motion.”

The Shippensburg University Career,
Mentoring, and Professional Development
Center made some big changes to last Thurs-
day’s 2019 Spring & Internship Fair that result-
ed in increased success and student involve-
ment.
For the past couple of years, the spring
job fair was only held in the multi-purpose
room of the Ceddia Union Building (CUB).
However, this year they expanded the Job Fair
to include four surrounding rooms on the same
floor as the multi-purpose room.
“It was a brand-new event. The year
before, we kept it into the one part of the MPR;
so, this year we wanted to make it the whole
part of the floor,” Lorie Davis, director of men-
toring and employer relations at the Career
Center, said. “The expectations were that we
would increase our employer numbers and
our student traffic. More students would be in-
volved because we are meeting students right
here in the CUB where they are [the fall job fair
is held in the student recreational center].”
Davis, as well as many other members
of the Career Center, put in a lot of time and
effort to organize the 2019 Spring & Internship
Fair. The addition of four other rooms to this
year’s job fair was only one part of the prepara-
tion that went into it.
“We spent a ton of time advertising it
to employers and to students, getting employers
to sign up, and making sure that faculty knew
about it for their classes,” Davis said.
The result was the product of a lot of
hard work, but it was an improvement that led
to the 2019 Spring Job & Internship Fair being
more successful than past years.
128 employers attended this spring’s
job fair, which was up by 113 percent from the
year before. 446 students attended, which was
up by 49 percent from the year before. Davis
also was able to add 10 members of the local
Chamber of Commerce to the job fair as volun-
teers.
The significant expansion of the job
fair concerned Davis. “I was concerned at the
beginning that students wouldn’t visit all five
rooms. We kind of had a path, where you start at
one room and then go to room two and so on,”
Davis said. “There was one room, we call it the
airport lounge, that was a little out of the way, so
it didn’t get as much foot traffic.”
Davis said that, if there was one change
they were going to make for next year, that it
would be to remove the “airport lounge” from
the job fair.
Overall, the Spring Job Fair was a mas-
sive success this year for the Career Center.
