Thousands of runners dyed ANDREW CHRISTMAN Features Editor More than 5,000 people from Indiana State and the Terre Haute community took part in ISU’s first-ever Color Run this past Saturday morning. Volunteers started showing up around 6 a.m., while the race started around 8, said Tricia
Pierce, an instructor of exercise science at ISU. “I volunteered because I really wanted to help out the Terre Haute community,” Pierce said. All of the proceeds from entrance fees went to aid local charities such as the Boys and Girls Club of Terre Haute, Wabash Valley Health Center, Catholic Charities and the 14th and Chestnut Community Center. According to
PHOTO BY Gary Macadaeg the Color Run’s official site, the race has raised more than $3 million for various local and national charities since its debut in 2012. The Color Run has been nicknamed the “Happiest 5K on the Planet” and aims to celebrate “healthiness, happiness and individuality.” Sophomore history major Patrick McIntire
said that he certainly had a lot of fun participating in the Color Run. “I’ve always wanted to do a 5K and this one was definitely a lot of fun,” McIntire said. “If we have it again next year I’m doing it again and I would highly recommend people getting a team together for it.” COLOR RUN CONTINUED ON PAGE 26

9/11 Survivor Shares Story
Libby Roerig
ISU Communications and Marketing Each anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks means something a little different to Leeky Behrman, who was on the 61st floor when terrorists flew a plane into her office building. At first, it was a day to fully feel the emotion and loss. “The anniversaries for the first 10 years were the only day I allowed myself to think and feel about it; otherwise, I only focused on the present. Therefore, each anniversary helped me to release the pain,” Behrman said. “The first anniversary was the first time I even acknowledged that it was a tragedy. The second anniversary was the first year that I watched the old news footage and saw the planes hit the building.” Her fiance was set to fly out of LaGuardia Airport the morning of the attacks, so after she escaped the collapsing building, her thoughts turned to finding her now-husband. She left lower Manhattan, ran through the crowds on Broadway and was more worried about him than her own safety. It wasn’t until the afternoon that they found each other. “Finally on the ninth anniversary, I gave up trying to be that strong and calm girl that I lost in the tower. I let her fall with the building, and I accepted that I could never go back and be the person I was before the tragedy. After that, I had nothing left to release,” Behrman said. “Thus, when the 10th anniversary came, I decided to be glad that I was alive. It was a seismic shift for me.” Behrman, who has a memoir “The Choices We Make: A Memoir about Surviving and a Journey to Love and Happiness” being published, will mark this year’s anniversary at Indiana State University and talk about her experiences at a remembrance event, 11 a.m. in Hulman Memorial Student Union, Dede I. The event is free and open to the public. “Now, I am happy to share the experience. BRIEF CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

Late start meant to welcome freshmen Kristi Ashby News Editor This school year all Sycamores enjoyed an extra day before the start of fall classes. For many freshmen this made fall welcome a smoother transition and allowed them more opportunities before school officially started. Every year for the last several years, the Indiana State Fall semester has always started on a Tuesday. This was to allow freshmen to attend Donaghy Day and become more familiar with the community through volunteer work. This year school started on Wednesday, August 20 and changed the setup for the freshmen’s Fall Welcome.
Freshman Alison Cook, a business major, enjoyed the extra time and felt like it allowed her and other freshmen to attend more events. “I thought the freshman events were informative and since there were so many other freshmen in attendance I already had friends I knew in my classes for the first day,” said Cook. “I think this extra day helped me to become more familiar with the university and I’m sure it had to help other freshmen also.” Director of New Student Transitions Program Tracy Osborne was thrilled about the extra day and said it gave her department the opportunity to do more. Residential Life also helps with coordinating
some of the events included in the fall welcome schedule. Osborne helped with the event creation and schedule for Fall Welcome in order to make freshmen feel more at home on campus. The events also aided freshmen in getting out and about to learn new things about Terre Haute while attending Indiana State University. Osborne was assisted in the freshmen events by Program Coordinator Valerie Allen. “Fall Welcome events are usually attended by many freshmen,” Osborne said. “This extra day allowed us [many] more opportunities to make WELCOME CONTINUED ON PAGE 3

these events the best to even better.” Students who were working with the incoming freshmen appreciated the extra day to help settle the newest Sycamores. One such person was Evan Rush, a senior chemistry major. Rush is also an RA on Pickerl Hall’s second floor. “I really liked the extra day and do believe that the extra day allowed more students to attend the Fall Welcome events,” Rush said. “The extra day also really helped all the RAs ... get more freshmen to on-campus events.” Fall Welcome is a series of events that happens every year during the move-in weekend and the first week of classes. These events allow students to have last reminders about things they need to do for school and give them ideas on how to start the school year on a good note. Some events also allow students to meet one another in the hope that they will make friends and feel more at ease while on campus as they are settling into their new roles away from their homes. This year’s change from Tuesday to Wednesday helped to make the Fall 2014 semester start off on a positive note for incoming students and all who worked Fall Welcome.

I just did an interview for a high school student, who was doing a class project. She was two when the tragedy happened. She really did not know anything about it, and I realized that survivors have a responsibility to share our experience,” said Behrman, who worked in corporate communications at the time of the attacks. “We already have a new generation who did not experience it, but they know a different world because of it ... the wars, the NSA and civil-rights issues, the militarization of our police force and the dangers involved when attending a large event. They are growing up in a different world, and this tragedy was a catalyst for this new world.” On her website, Behrman describes herself as a speaker, author, trainer, survivor. When asked which adjective best describes her, she said “survivor.”
Escaping the Twin Towers wasn’t the only lifethreatening attack she lived through, however. She also survived an abusive childhood, one that drove her sister to suicide. “I believe that being fully alive happens every day. Whether I am on the subway listening to high school students debate current events — which delighted me listening to young minds engaged — or something as simple as a sunny and perfect day, I find it every day,” she said. “But I do turn off my phone and computer at a specific hour every night. I do not take my phone on walks. I believe that walking away from the phones and email is important. I profoundly downsized my life, because I knew that taking a bike ride was more important than cutting my grass. I eliminated everything that was stealing my energy … so that I could go LIVE.” The remembrance event is being organized and sponsored by Indiana State’s criminology department.
“The impact that Sept. 11 had on our country is everlasting, but from a criminology aspect, it had a direct impact on policing, questions about privacy and the law, the creation of the Department of Homeland Security and ultimately the now-dubbed ‘War on Terrorism,’” said Travis Behem, instructor of criminology. Organizers expect Behrman’s words will offer a perspective unlike any other students — many of whom were children at the time of the attacks — and attendees have ever had. “While many of us watched that day unfold on national TV, most of our students were probably too young to really grasp and fully understand the events of that day,” Behem said. “By bringing in a guest speaker, who was there and to talk about the events first hand, will offer a much different perspective then what they can find on YouTube or even shows such as National Geographic.”

Students introduced to community service Donaghy day gives students opportunity to help Terre Haute area
Sadie All
ISU Communications and Marketing The sounds of hammering, sweeping and tilling could be heard all around Terre Haute and beyond Monday as new freshman students participated in Indiana State University’s Fall Donaghy Day. The morning dedicated to community service requires students to travel to nonprofit organizations and provide helpful services. Locations included the Lighthouse Mission thrift store, Boys and Girls Club, March of Dimes and the Vigo County Parks Department. And this year, students journeyed to surrounding communities including Clinton and Marshall, Ill. “It’s a challenge to find a meaningful project for everybody to do at the same time, so we needed to expand,” said Nancy Rogers, associate vice president for community engagement and experiential learning. Donaghy Day has grown not only in locations, but also in the number of students
participating. Starting in 1976 with 400 student volunteers, it has grown to around 1,800 new student participants this year. As a part of the new student Fall Welcome program, students first heard about Donaghy Day during their new student orientation. It would be tough not to hear of the day of service. Efforts of encouragement were occurring everywhere and by everyone, including welcome team and blue team leaders and residential assistants. “Being a welcome team leader, we are here to get the freshmen really involved in community service because ISU is so heavily involved,” said Rodney Lockman, a junior biology major from Terre Haute. This year was Lockman’s third year participating in Donaghy Day. “I’ve definitely [learned] the importance of community service,” he said, noting Washington Monthly magazine ranked Indiana State the top university in the nation for community service last year. “With ISU being number one they really push that a lot.”
“[Donaghy Day] is a great way to introduce our first year students to how important community engagement is to the university,” Rogers said. “It’s good for the students because it’s a low pressure way to get to know their peers because they’re busy doing a task, but while they’re doing that they can talk to one another. And the work they do really will make a difference for our nonprofit partners.” Although many participants may have been new to community service, they were cognizant of their contributions. “This is my first time doing volunteer work so I didn’t really know what to expect coming into it,” said Hayley Warren, a freshman criminology major from Whiteland. “It’s just really cool to see how everyone can contribute in some different way and getting a big group out here like this helps them get their job done faster.” Warren spent her day cleaning the construction site for a new house being built by Habitat for Humanity. Other students at the same location picked up outside trash, installed
insulation and helped with siding and roofing. “I think it’s good for all of us to be out here and do something today,” Warren said. “[In] the whole aspect of getting involved this is probably one of the easiest, quickest [and most] straightforward ways to do it. You’re not usually coming out with a big group of people specifically [to volunteer]. [You meet people who] share common interests and you both care about giving back to the community.” Staff at the Next Step Foundation’s Meeting Grounds coffee shop on Washington Avenue in Terre Haute appreciated students’ help with gardening and landscaping. “[They are] providing services to help beautify the place,” Nancy Moore, assistant manager, said. “They are helping tremendously.” Students who volunteer for Donaghy Day “realize that ISU is really focused on community and building relationships with other people outside of [the] community,” Warren said. “They do really care about giving back.”

Jim Goecker, vice president of enrollment management and strategic communications at Rose-Hulman, said, “WMHD has had a long broadcasting tradition in the Wabash Valley and we are pleased to see the station reborn at Indiana State University. The fact that it began as a student-operated station on the RoseHulman campus and will continue to operate with the same student focus at Indiana State is great.” The format and simulcasting changes are expected to take place by the latter half of September, according to Phil Glende, executive director of student media at Indiana State. “We’re very excited about this opportunity,” said Max Slizewski, student manager at WISU/ WZIS. “Not only do we get to completely build a radio station with the music that we already have, but we get the opportunity with public radio to do new programming, get to recruit new students in areas that we had not been able to before and we will be bringing important news [programming] to Terre Haute.”

Savings Soar in Aviation Department DAVE TAYLOR
ISU Communications and Marketing The Indiana State University Flight Academy is moving into its second year of operation under a higher level of certification. Officials with the Federal Aviation Administration traveled to the flight school Thursday to present the new certification, signifying that Indiana State meets Part 141 of FAA regulations. This marks a significant upgrade from Part 61 regulations that covered private flight services that previously trained Indiana State students. “The ISU Flight Academy must maintain the highest levels of standardization in its training, facilities and aircraft to maintain this coveted certification,” said Harry Minniear, professor and chair of the aviation technology department. “We must follow stringent requirements and uphold them on an annual basis. The flight school is subject to scheduled and random FAA inspections of training facilities, aircraft and student/instructor records. Annual check rides are mandated for the chief and assistant chief instructor pilots with an FAA examiner. Additionally, the school must keep in-depth documentation on the progress of each student’s training.” First-time student pass rates must also meet minimum standards in order for the school to
retain its FAA certification, Minniear added. “The industry holds this level of certification in high regard for professional aviation education and it is mandated for all college degree programs and veteran and GI Bill benefits,” said Bob English, dean of the College of Technology at Indiana State. “This certification also keeps ISU abreast of other competing flight programs.” Advantages of the more stringent certification include: • Highest levels of standardization • Detailed course syllabus providing key benchmarks for students and instructors • A highly efficient path to attaining flight certificates and proficiency in a shorter time span • Reduced flight training hour requirements toward certificates and ratings • Comprehensive and attentive ground training in preparation for FAA written, oral and practical exams. “It means a lot knowing that the standardization and the safety that the FAA holds accountable will be over watching us, which makes me feel a lot safer,” said Alex Frye, a sophomore aviation management/professional pilot major at Indiana State. Frye said he will save thousands of dollars in training costs because of the reduced hour requirements.

‘Crass’ and class: Do they clash?
KYLIE ADKINS
Opinions Editor, 237-3036 StatesmanOpinions@isustudentmedia.com
Letter to the Editor
Ferguson situation spotlights police misconduct Have you ever been at home knowing that at any time an all-out war could come crusading down your block between the police and members of your local high school’s men’s basketball team? Of course not, but of the 2,000 residents in Ferguson, Missouri, nobody can peacefully walk the streets without seeing some type of protest from their neighbors or opposition from the police. Since the killing of the unarmed 17-yearold Trayvon Martin, there has been little news coverage on police brutality towards innocent unarmed youths; nevertheless, amendments towards legislation regarding police misconduct are fervently being pushed in Washington, D.C. The penalties below are solutions towards preventing police misconduct while officers are on duty. 1: Violating officers must be banned indefinitely from serving as an officer of the law in the United States. 2: Violating officers will be added to a database of violating officers. 3: Violating officers will not be allowed to purchase or be in possession of a firearm. The point protestors are attempting to impress upon officers and government officials is that justice is not being served! As protestors react to day 12 of their mission to get justice, millions of Americans watch and wait for the outcome. Justice, along with love, freedom and peace, is something worth seeking, but for now, since justice isn’t readily available, citizens of Ferguson, Missouri, and neighboring cities such as St. Louis seek revenge.

It’s great to be back at Indiana State University, but something has been nagging at the back of my head. Whenever I get back into the swing of school life I notice that some things change when it comes to social interaction. Sometimes it’s as simColumnist ple as adjusting to a new sleep schedule, but here I’m talking about the ‘school mentality.’ Specifically, the language we use and our reaction to said language. Simply put, we need to grow up. Before anyone gets all offended that I claim they aren’t adults, allow me to clarify: my issue is not with our vocabulary but instead with how we reinforce it. No one cares if you curse or drop the dreaded “f-bomb” when you’re out with friends, but when you’re in class it’s all “oh my stars and garters, such language!” the second a teacher uses a cuss word or a fellow student has enough nerve to say an expletive loud enough for everyone to hear. There may be a few chortles, maybe someone feigning shock that someone would talk that way. The class halts for a second or so and everyone gets back to work as usual. My fellow Indiana State students, this is an unacceptable reaction if you want to be taken seriously as a fully-grown person. It’s ridiculous to act in such a manner;
Jake Porter
all of you have cussed before. It’s nothing special. One argument I’ve heard was the flimsy “we weren’t allowed to swear when we were in grade school.” We’re all adults now, and adults can say whatever they want! Admittedly, a lot of college-level teachers have a tendency to forget this as well, but the answer is the same: we’re all adults, time to quit giggling at poop jokes and stick to the task at hand. The usual argument following this is that “school is a place of respectable learning and not crass behavior,” which is wholly untrue. No one can honestly say all things that go on in school are respectable. Disregarding that, so what? Your defense against the crass is to act offended? The definition of “crass” behavior is to be offensive. If anything, being shocked and appalled is going to egg the accused on into continuing said crass behavior. We shouldn’t be reacting this way because “it encourages,” the reason we shouldn’t be reacting this way is because cussing doesn’t actually do anything. Before writing this, I asked random folk around the city for their opinion on the subject of swearing in general. Out of everyone I interviewed over the course of a week, only two said they believed swearing is uncalled for regardless of the situation and only one said it was only called for when injured or angry. Every other person said they will cuss whenever — unless someone else’s kids are present or it’s not allowed at their place of
work. Now, none of the people who stated they wouldn’t cuss at work worked somewhere officially “respectable” like a library or a church. They worked in retail. They can’t cuss because of the possibility of one of their customers being offended. Evidently, at some stores, being caught swearing is just as serious an offense as letting someone shoplift. All of these places are known for being kid-friendly. So what’s the connecting factor in these situations? The introduction of kids to naughty language. But here’s the weird thing, most people were comfortable with cussing in front of their own offspring. The important thing being that you don’t drop a dirty word in front of some stranger’s kid who’ll likely forget you even exist before dinner, never mind what you had said around him or her. This whole column isn’t me saying we should cuss all the time. In fact, I’m not really that big on swearing, since it tends to limit one’s inventiveness when insulting others. All I’m saying is that we need to stop putting such a heavy bearing on a few sound waves we can make with our mouths. If someone cusses in class, who cares? It’s just another word; now let’s all focus on the important things about language. You know, like how YOLO has been added to Oxford dictionary.

Governor Perry indicted on charges of corruption Government corruption and abuse of power are universally recognized as issues of profound concern in American politics. From the conservative small government principle that seeks to limit government overreach to generally leftist Political concerns of corporate Columnist funds barreling their way into the political process, all sides of the political process have a stake in preventing corruption and scandal. However, when prevention fails and the media begins to churn out stories of corruption, that sense of grave concern does not always remain, such as in the case of Texas Governor Rick Perry. Governor Perry, a certain Republican
Julian Winborn
contender for the 2016 presidential election, has been indicted by a federal grand jury on one charge of “abuse of official capacity” and another for “coercion of a public servant.” According to Politico, the case was born out of a dispute between Governor Perry and Travis County district attorney and head of the Public Integrity Unit Rosemary Lehmberg. The Public Integrity Unit is the Texas state agency that prosecutes political corruption across the state, and following an incident in which Lehmberg was arrested for drunk driving and later served 22 days in jail, Governor Perry called for her resignation and stated that he would strip the Public Integrity Unit of its funding with a line-item veto if she did not comply. Lehmberg refused to resign and Governor Perry later responded by
vetoing resources to the Public Integrity Unit. Since the indictment, supporters of Perry and pundits have quickly responded to it as legally frivolous. The New York Times deemed the indictment as a “result of an overzealous prosecution,” while David Axelrod, former advisor to President Obama, referred to it as “flimsy.” However, in their Politico Magazine article “Why Liberal Pundits Are Wrong About the Perry Indictment”, Craig McDonald and Andrew Wheat explain that Perry’s actions are completely worthy of an indictment. McDonald and Wheat detail the precarious political position that the Public Integrity Unit is in by saying that the agency remains to be “one of the few powers left in Democratic hands.” A resignation from Lehmberg would have allowed Governor Perry to
appoint a Republican to the office. The authors continue their case stating that the veto itself is not unlawful, however the threat and attempt to coerce another public official is certainly illegal, especially since the governor contented to pressure Lehmberg after his veto. According to the Austin-American Statesman, Perry representatives tried to ease Lehmberg into resignation by promising her a high-paying job in a different position at the same agency, which is a fact that is not gaining much traction in the media. Though Rick Perry continues to press on with his 2016 presidential ambitions, his supporters have roundly dismissed this indictment. As the case carries forward and details continue to emerge, the possible consequences of these actions will begin to be taken more seriously.
Mutual listening and respect crucial to resolving conflict Let’s face it: the problem is everywhere. It’s in our classrooms, in our friends, on our campus and even in our homes. Though it is impossible to know everything, some people are just born ignorant. When we choose not to further our knowledge, Columnist when we ignore other people’s opinions and experiences and choose willingly to live our lives in the dark, we are met with a major problem. Ignorance is not bliss, and by accepting this you can accept others more easily. According to the Merriam-Webster dictionary, the definition of ‘to ignore’ is as follows: “to refuse to show that you hear or see something or someone.” Using the working definition MerriamWebster gives us, we know when we are ignored we are being refused. The feeling of having something
Zachery Davis
to say, finding the voice to say it and then still not being heard or ignored is frustrating. At this point many think they are ignored because what they are saying is not productive or is unimportant. We all know the antics of Brother Jed and his companions. They sit by the fountain or smoking stations and preach the teachings of their religions. They have learned the ways of their faiths and wish to teach others. This in itself causes no harm. But the issue lies not in the spreading of their message, but instead occurs when they refuse to listen to a different viewpoint. They ignore the very student body they wish so much to befriend. But the students do the same thing. When walking by I see them shouting opposing views at one another without regard. This is not now one should handle being ignored. There is an easier, better way to handle people who are ignoring others. But before you can cope with them you must give up your ignorance yourself
and be willing to listen to others. Cindy L. Griffin and Jennifer Emerling Bone explain the importance of listening in their book “Invitation to Human Communication.” The two authors explain that listening is a way to confirm others and process another’s messages. Listening allows you to learn new information and opinions, breaking a wall between you and others. The article “Political Extremism Is Supported by an Illusion of Understanding” explains that ignoring new information often causes a great separation between parties with opposing views. So it is reasonable to say that listening to others can bring you closer together. But once we listen, how do we get others to listen? The fact is there is no way to force others to listen back, but you can make them feel more comfortable talking to you, making it more likely to hold an actual conversation. Let them know you are listening. Repeat what they say, make eye contact and nod. Often you
will get the same respect back, leading to the problem being resolved, even if all parties agree to disagree. However, not everyone will return the same respect. What do you do in a situation like this? At this point it becomes essential to stay calm and not get angry. It sounds easy and cliche, but staying calm is imperative. Getting angry just causes more trouble and often can result in greater argument. When respect is withheld from you, the best thing is to walk away. Talking to someone who ignores new ideas and information is extremely similar to talking to a wall — and that is often what it feels like. Lacking information is harmless and inevitable. But choosing not to obtain new information and views is an entirely new problem in itself. Ignoring others does no good, often causing more problems and a greater separation. Try to be mature and handle things civilly: listen and give respect.

‘Soup and Substance’ serves up smiles Andrew Christman Features Editor Students gathered in the Commuter Lounge this past Thursday to grab a quick bite at the first Soup and Substance event of the year. Soup and Substance is a monthly event sponsored by Commuter Services that allows students to come in, get a quick light lunch and learn about campus services. As this was the welcome-back event, no service was
highlighted. Julia Rosenzweig, a graduate student helping with commuter services, said she feels that Soup and Substance is a great resource for commuter students. “Soup and Substance gives commuters a chance to feel some real connection with the campus,” Rosenzweig said. This month’s Soup and Substance had a rather
high turnout, said Vallerie Allen of commuter services. “We actually had to order more food because we pretty much ran out,” Allen said. “We had more than 50 students attend this time.” Food was provided by Sodexo, which included soups, sandwich materials, chips, brownies and drinks. Senior business administration major Jamie
Wallace said she came by to get a quick snack after she saw the event listed on the events page of Indiana State’s website. “The Soup and Substance really lets commuter students know that they are supported here at ISU and they can count on us,” Allen said. The next Soup and Substance will be held Wednesday, September 17 in the Commuter Lounge from 11:30-1.

Community converges for Downtown Block Party
Ayden Jent Reporter
On Saturday afternoon, the rhythm of music and vendors brought students and local residents to Wabash Avenue for the fourth annual Downtown Block Party. The party stretched down Wabash Avenue from 4th Street to 9th Street. There were a total of five stages around the block party on which local performers showcased their talents to the public. There were two kid’s zones where parents allowed their children to play around in the bounce houses, get their faces painted and just be kids. Boo Lloyd and Marla Flowers were a part of the board of directors that helped bring the block party to life. Both of them wanted to thank Union Hospital for helping out and being the title sponsor. When asked for the reason behind the block party, Flowers said, “It is a great opportunity to showcase downtown and show that it is a thriving and vibrant downtown.” Lloyd also said, “The reason we do it the first weekend of school is to have all the students come.” They expected 10,000 people to show up to the block party. They also said that there were over 80 vendors set up around the block party area. The vendors’ stalls were full of handmade necklaces, pillows, scarfs, masks, t-shirts and paintings that would even make Da Vinci smile. Marsha Boes, a local pillow artist, loves coming to the block party. “All the vendors work together, they help raise money for certain causes. You make friends and have the sense of community.” Local artist Erin Wilson performed on stage, playing acoustic guitar and piano. She did covers of “What’s Up?” by 4 Non Blondes, Alanis Morissette’s “You Oughta

Know” and “Black Horse and the Cherry Tree” by KT Tunstall, along with some original songs. This was her third year performing at the block party. When asked what she likes about the party, she said, “It’s awesome, so many different artists performing. If you don’t like one you can move on to the next one.” Indiana State University student and senior political science and language studies major Matthew Pickard volunteered for the event. “It is a chance to reach out to the Terre
Haute community,” Pickard said. Walking through the streets, a familiar song fills the air. It was Dick Van Dyke singing “Me Ol’ Bamboo.” The local Academy of Dance performed all of the musical numbers from the movie “Chitty Chitty Bang Bang,” as well as popular pop songs. As the ballet dancers moved and flowed with the music, the crowd tapped their feet and sang along. There was also a makeshift “Chitty” car made in the likeness of the character from the movie. The classic car show was something to
behold. The cars and trucks sat in the midday sun with bright colors and chrome details untouched by age. Jade, Jennifer and Jana Weeks were the winners of the Chalk the Block competition, where their chalk drawing of a shark drew the most votes. Local glass artists Anita Criss and Annatte Benefiel shared why they were there. “It is our third year here, we enjoy being out around and talking with people. We also get to show stuff we like to make,” said Anita. Annatte said, “It is a nice way to spend a Saturday afternoon.”

Color Run Continued from PAGE 1
McIntire also said that by taking part in the Color Run, it gave him a great opportunity to get better acquainted with ISU’s campus. “I got a chance to see the Larry Bird statue for the first time ever, so that was really cool,” McIntire said. “Since I’m a new student to ISU, I never really got to see some of what this campus has to offer.” McIntire said it took him about 30 minutes to complete the race. Stacy Warnick and Sierra Gruve also said they will be taking part in the Color Run if it takes place next year. “We had so much fun with this event,” Warnick and Gruve said. Both ladies said it took them about 30 minutes each to complete the race as well. The ISU Physical Therapy and Sports Rehabilitation Center was also in attendance to help those taking part in the Color Run and to promote the center. “We were here to help out with stretching and any of the running injuries that might have taken place during the race,” representative Carrie Anderson said. “More or less, we were also here to let the ISU community know that we’re here and that anybody on campus can come to us.” Those who are interested in future Color Run events should look to the full list of races and locations at http://thecolorrun.com/events.

ISU football yearns for better season Sycamores look to improve 1-11 record
James Lafary Sports Editor A rough 2013 has fueled Indiana State football’s longing for change during the offseason as the Sycamores enter week one of the 2014 college football season. After finishing 1-11 last year, the Sycamores will return to the gridiron this Saturday at Indiana University, in high hopes that a healthy and more experienced roster and coaching staff can return the Terre Haute crew back above the .500 mark. “Very excited about the 2014 season,” second year head coach Mike Sanford said during the team’s media day event on Aug.15. “One of our themes so far has been change and we told our guys in December and January that it’s something we need to do. I believe we’re in the process of doing that and I’m very excited.” One big reason for Coach Sanford’s excitement is the change in his team’s
maturity since the end of last season. Sanford was quick to point out that it has certainly been a high point since last December. “We’ve had a very good offseason … very good winter conditioning program, great spring and we’ve had a really good summer with great participation and attitude,” Sanford added. “The reason for that is because I think our leadership has improved and our accountability as a result of the leadership improving has improved. “ Much of the leadership on the field will be carried by senior quarterback Mike Perish and junior linebacker Connor Underwood. Perish threw for 1,586 yards and 14 touchdowns in eight games last season while Underwood was a first team All-Missouri Valley Conference selection last season and 2014 preseason all-conference pick as well after 76 tackles and nine sacks in 2013.
“I’m really excited about this team,” Perish said during media day. “I’ve worked hard to be a better leader and improve my skills and better my physical abilities. I’m looking forward to trying to lead this team to a winning season and a playoff appearance.” “I see my role as being the leader of the defense,” Underwood said when talking about the upcoming season. “My main goal is to win games. All the individual accomplishments are great but I want to help this team win. I just want to do what I can to help this team reach our goals that we have set.” Indiana State kicks off inside the Hoosiers’ version of Memorial Stadium at noon on Saturday. The game will be nationally televised on ESPNNEWS and can be heard on WDKE 95.9 FM. A full football preview and game preview will be featured in the Indiana Statesman later this week.
Women’s soccer begins season with 1 win, 1 loss The Indiana State women’s soccer team earned their first victory of the young season against Eastern Illinois University on a sun-soaked Sunday afternoon at Lakeside Field. The Sycamores improve to 1-1 with the win while the Panthers fall to 0-2. The match was a physical one, with four yellow cards being issued. Two went to EIU, while Alex Rodas recorded both for the Sycamores. The Sycamores played short handed from the 59th minute on with Rodas having to exit the game. Brittany San Roman started and played all 90 minutes in goal. The Sycamore defense had a stellar afternoon, allowing just one shot in the first half, and five overall. Goals were scored by Kate Johnson and Maddie Orf, with Sydney Lovelace and Molly McKee earning assists.
The Sycamores scored their first goal of the 2014 season in the 31st minute when Sydney Lovelace dribbled down the left sideline and sent a beautiful cross right in front of the net. Kate Johnson finished with an amazing bicycle kick to put ISU up 1-0. ISU tacked on another goal in the first half when Molly McKee played a ball in front of the net and Orf was able to head it in for the score to put the Sycamores up 2-0 in the first half. In the scoreless second half, ISU and EIU were dead even with four shots each. The Sycamores opened up its 2014 season with a 2-0 loss at Indiana University’s Bill Armstrong Stadium Friday night. It was the fourth meeting between the two programs, with IU improving to 4-0 against the Sycamores with the victory. IU kept the pressure on early and often
as they led the Sycamores in shots 19-8 with the first shot attempted within the first minute. IU also led in corners 6-5. Brittany San Roman recorded seven saves while playing all 90 minutes in net for ISU. IU’s Sarah Stone picked up three saves for the Hoosiers on eight ISU shots while playing 90 minutes. The Hoosiers struck first when Jessie Bujouves scored from 15 yards out in the 10th minute. Bekah White recorded the assist. Bujouves tacked on a second goal in the 70th minute when she scored on a penalty kick. Maddie Orf, Sydney Lovelace and Sydney Loesing recorded the three shots on goal for the The Sycamores return to the pitch Friday, Aug. 29 as they face Belmont in Nashville, Tenn.

ISU cross-country voted to finish fifth and sixth
Kevin Jenison ISU Athletic Media Relations and Evansville ninth with nine points. Valley Conference championships slated on the same day in the largest collegiate Members of the 2014 edition of the Indiana State men’s and women’s crosscountry team have been thinking about this season with each mile and each hour spent on the road over the summer. Their individual training ended, but they still can be seen running down the streets, roads, and trails throughout the Terre Haute area. The 2014 Missouri Valley Conference pre-season rankings were released with the Sycamore men selected to finish fifth and the women sixth in a poll of the league coaches. Part of that ranking is based on the Indiana State performance at the MVC Championships a year ago when the Sycamores finished seventh in both the men’s and women’s team races. Another aspect is the youth of the Sycamores who are looking to win their first women’s title since 1993 and the first men’s title since winning three straight. Southern Illinois is the preseason favorite to claim their third straight men’s title and the preseason favorite to win the women’s championship for the second straight year. The Salukis received 67 points and three first place votes to earn the title as the men’s preseason favorite but the Redbirds of Illinois State are right behind in what is expected to be a tight battle between four Valley teams. Illinois State earned 66 points and received two first place votes with Loyola garnering one first place vote and scoring 61 points for third and Bradley two first place votes and recording 60 points for fourth. Indiana State received the other firstplace vote and recorded 49 points for fifth in the preseason poll. Wichita State is sixth with 40 points, Northern Iowa seventh with 27, Drake eighth with 28,
Missouri State does not field a men’s team. The battle for the women’s team title is expected to be between Southern Illinois and Bradley with the Salukis garnering six first place votes and 95 points to become the preseason favorite. The Braves are right behind with three first place votes and 90 points while Illinois State is third with one first place vote and 77 points. They are followed by Loyola in fourth, Wichita State fifth, Indiana State sixth, Drake seventh, Northern Iowa eighth, Evansville ninth and Missouri State 10th. Sycamore team members will spend the next two weeks in organized workouts as they prepare for the season opener, an August 29th date in Carbondale, Ill., for the Saluki Early Bird. Indiana State has competed in the Evansville MidAmerica Opener in recent years but opted for the change with the Missouri
at Southern Illinois on November 1. This will also be an opportunity for the Sycamores to measure themselves against the preseason favorites on their home course. The Sycamores will also face early season tests at the Illinois State Invitational and the Indiana Intercollegiate at Purdue before wrapping up the first half of their schedule at the highly competitive Notre Dame Invitational. With the 2014 NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Cross-Country National Championship again set to be run at the LaVern Gibson Championship CrossCountry Course, Indiana State will again host the premier collegiate cross country event of the season — the Pre National Invitational — which will be held on Oct. 18. The event brings together the top teams and the top runners from across the nation to run on the same course
event of the season. Indiana State will return to Carbondale, Ill., on Nov. 1 for the 2014 Missouri Valley Conference Cross-Country Championships with Sycamore John Mascari attempting to become just the third individual to win three straight MVC titles. Mascari, the two-time defending champion, is looking to join Southern Illinois’ Stelios Marneros and Wichita State’s Mornay Annandale as the only MVC athletes to win three straight men’s titles. The final meet of the regular season will be held on Nov. 7 with the annual Hoosier Invitational in Bloomington, Ind. The meet serves as the final meet of the season for most members of the team and a rest period for those advancing into the post season. The Great Lakes Region Championship will again be run on the Zimmer Championship Course in Madison, Wis., the home of the Wisconsin Badgers, on Nov. 14. Mascari became the first Sycamore to win a region title a year ago and will be in the mix to repeat this year.
