With an initial list of more than
100 artists, every genre was repre
sented, Hifts said. After condensing
the list, the committee formed a
one-minute survey to receive stu
dent input.
“We have an open-door policy to
our meetings, so anyone can come

sure means,” said Kevin Morgan, a
Penn State student who has been
friends with McGloin since birth.
“Even walking out in front of 110,000
fens against Michigan, it didn't faze
him. If we were 10 years old and he
had to go up to bat against our
cross-town rival, he was laughing as
he was walking out of the dugout.
He never seemed nervous."
Growing up as the youngest in a
family with two brothers, McGloin's
childhood consisted of being
dragged to his siblings' games,
where he and Morgan (junior-eco
nomics) would run around to pass
the time. Dressed in an orange out
fit so Cathy could spot him from a
distance, he and Morgan learned
the game by watching their older
brothers play.
“Matt was not like your average
kid who had a firetruck or any
thing," his father, Paul, said. "It was
either a basketball, baseball or foot
ball because there was always so
much competition, so much drive
with his older brothers."
McGloin and Morgan lived about
two blocks from each other, and with
a baseball field serving as the mid
point between the houses, the boys
would meet after school every day
to play football, baseball or basket
ball.
Throw in memories of McGloin
grinning ear-to-ear on a brand new
bicycle before smashing it into a
parked car and Morgan said it was
obvious at a young age that his
friend didn’t lack confidence.
Cathy said the only time she
remembered Matt not being confi
dent was when he was about 6 years
old and had to come out of a football
game because he was so nervous he
was nearly sick. But after that day.
there was never a question about
McGloin not wanting the ball in his
hands.
And shortly thereafter, Morgan
played an instrumental role in
McGloin becoming a quarterback.
With Morgan playing quarterback
for his and McGloin's team until
they were about 13 years old.
Morgan’s vacation during the
team's game against its cross-town
rival forced McGloin to move from
running back to quarterback.
After McGloin threw for four
touchdowns and ran for three more.
Morgan returned from v acation and
was permanently moved to wide
receiver. As for McGloin, it marked
the beginning of his career at quar
terback.

“They were a little hesitant, but

favor.”

Jim French, the downtown mar

Morgan said.
“So when I’m paying my student
loans over the years and he’s play
ing in the NFL he can pay me back
for going on that trip.”
As McGloin became the starting
quarterback at West Scranton as a
sophomore, there was something
about the fiery athlete that stood out
to coach Mike DeAntona.
After giving up a touchdown,
McGloin would tell the defense he
would get the points back for them,
and while Cathy sat in the stands
clutching a rosary to calm her
nerv es, her son wasn’t fazed.
"If you don't know Matt, some
people may take his confidence as
cocky but it’s not,” DeAntona said.
T can attest to that because I’ve
seen it for three years and I’m not a
coach that would allow cockiness.
But that's not what Matt has. Matt's
is confidence and it’s not fake confi
dence either."
Morgan, who was there when
McGloin threw his first touchdown
pass during the Blue-White game in
2009, said knowing what kind of
competitor his friend is made it easy
to support him.
Morgan's support went so far that
after McGloin's touchdown pass in
the scrimmage, he made his way
down to the railing inside Beaver
Stadium where he had a message to
deliver to quarterbacks coach Jay
Paterno.
T said, Jay, get him some money.
That’s your future,’ ” Morgan
recalled. “And he turned around and
just gave me a kind of weird look.
After the game he went up to Matt
and was like, ‘Matt, who was that
crazy kid that was yelling to me?’
And Matt goes, ‘I don’t know, I never
met him.’ ”
McGloin earned a scholarship the
following season, where he served
as the third-string quarterback, and
after initially losing the position bat
tle to Bolden this fall, McGloin is
suddenly becoming the big man on
campus.
"I knew my time would come
whether it be this year, next year or
the following year,” McGloin said.
"When you’re called upon, you have
to be a performer. You have to get
the job done."
As he pumped his fist and walked
up and down the sideline encourag
ing his teammates to step it up after
coming off the bench against
Northwestern, it was obvious what
the fiery quarterback lacked in
scholarship offers he made up for in
confidence.
And all of West Scranton is behind
him. too. as Cathy said she keeps
receiving newspaper clippings.
"We wanted their connections and
resources for the project." Gyekis
said. "They helped us jump through
the hoops we needed to go through."
In the spring semester, Pilato and
Gyekis worked with the State
College and Penn State communi
ties by hosting meetings with the
borough and visiting classrooms to
ask locals what "Dreams Take
Flight" meant to them.
After collecting a wide sample of
ideas, the artists compiled them and
used the reoccurring ones as a basis
for their project.
They used photos they had taken
themselves, as well as some they
found online to create a collage in
Adobe Photoshop.
The mural was then painted onto
a material called Pellon (or Polytab),
which Gyekis describes as a thin
and strong synthetic fabric.
"We primed the fabric, projected
and traced our design onto it and
color coded the design,” she said.
We did this process as we went,
preparing the panels in time to paint
them, starting at the beginning of
the summer and finishing by
sition from war to home.
The event was organized by the
hash out what we want to accom
plish and maybe enlighten them on
what we’re doing with the Big 10,”
he said.
UPUA Vice President Colleen
Smith said she is excited to see that
this next step is being made to form
the association.
“It’s a good opportunity for them
to talk to a bunch of individuals in
Harrisburg and get the ball rolling,”
Smith (junior-history) said.
Ragland said he’d also like to talk
to legislators while he is in
The Daily Collegian
some from people she never met or
hasn’t heard from since grade
school.
That’s what happens when some
body from a close-knit community is
playing on the big stage, Cathy said.
However, his friends and family said
Matt hasn’t let playing in front of
110,000 fans change who he is.
With a few jokes in the huddle to
try to keep the mood light, the Lions
have responded to McGloin’s lead
ership.
“He’s making guys laugh. He’s
got this swagger about him. He’s
like a movie character,” said line
backer Mike Mauti, who gave
McGloin the West Scranton
Gunslinger nickname last season.
“He’s a cocky kid, but he’s our cocky
kid.”
Comerback D’Anton Lynn, one of
McGloin’s three roommates along
with Kenny Pollock and Ryan
Scherer, said after each win the
entire apartment has to put up with
the quarterback. While Lynn insists
they're having fun with it, he makes
a point to tell McGloin’s mom that
some days he wonders if Matt’s big
head will be able to make it through
the front door.
Even after McGloin's first career
start against Michigan, Lynn joked
if Morgan and his roommates want
ed to switch places for the night and
listen to McGloin, they’d gladly do it.
While the ribbing is all in good fun,
the friends and roommates kept
their celebration small after the
Michigan win and rather than going
out, opted to watch a replay of the
game.
“We re-watched the whole game
start to finish," Morgan said. “After
beating Michigan you'd think he’d
want to be out on the town going
crazy, soaking it all in, but he had a
much better time siting in his apart
ment with his best friends watching
the game.”
Morgan, now part of a support
group for the quarterback called
McGloin’s Miners, isn’tfpfaiming on
trading in his hardhat and sus
penders anytime soon.
With about 10 members of
McGloin's Miners heading to
Columbus for the game, Paul and
Cathy McGloin will be proudly
watching their son live out his
dream from West Scranton.
“I sit here and my other two sons
sit here and we’re like, 'Oh my God,
can you actually believe that’s him
out there?' " Cathy said.
"I go, ‘No, I can’t believe it's him.’
It’s actually his dream and how
many times do dreams come true?
It’s just unbelievable.”

October, preparing and painting an
average of eight panels a week.”
The outline then allowed the State
College community to take part in a
giant paint-by-numbers.
More than 500 people, from 4-
year-olds to 80-year-olds, took part
in the painting during the summer.
These smaller panels would eventu
ally be glued to the side of the build
ing, completing the mural.
Art professor Micaela Amato saw
the process over the summer and
was quite impressed.
"There are very few things com
munities engage in together." she
said. "It makes it so much more
beautiful."
While there's a lot of talk about
how the arts aren’t appreciated in
the community, more than $22,000 of
the $30,000 it took to fund the project
came from cash donations from
community members, Pilato said.
“People really do care about arts
and the community,” she said. “We
never would have been able to do
this without those donations.”

to educate them,” she said.
The ceremony wrapped up with
Harrisburg so they know the associ
ation is being created.
“Especially when the election just
happened, I think this is a great con
crete way to get in these legislators’
ears,” he said.
Both Smith and Ragland said that
with constant communication
between the universities, they see
the association being formed soon.
“I think definitely down the road
it’s going to happen,” Smith said.
