ISU secures space for additional parking Rileigh McCoy Reporter
Approximately two months ago the city of Terre Haute transferred the property of the old Toney Petroleum building to ISU. The land is located on the edge of campus near the Arena and is intended to become extra parking spaces for members of the ISU community. The Toney building dates back to the 1800s and the building was constructed in the 1940s. Since being condemned in October 2007, the property has been vacant on campus for quite some time. The city handled the initial cleanup before handing over the
property to ISU because of lead contaminated soil and groundwater. Also present on site were many fuel tanks and their contents, including 55-gallon drums and flammables. ISU took over the cleanup from there and hope to be done by early November. “We’re very excited about the project. This has been an eyesore on campus for decades,” said Bryan Duncan, Director of Capital Planning and Improvement. “We are thrilled that it’s finally happening, that it’s going to be done soon, and another bonus is that we are getting more parking out of it.” Parking can be scarce on campus during the school year, which could partly be the reason for the change. When it is fin-
ished in November, the lot will be filled with gravel until early 2019 in which other construction near the arena will been completed. Soon after, the lot will be a much larger and landscaped parking lot. In the gravel lot, there will be enough spaces for about 80 to 90 spots. It is not known yet whether the lot will be for both students and staff or otherwise. The cleanup process for the city after gaining the property was extensive. It began when the site was condemned and has lasted until now because of many reasons. “I never dreamed it would take this long,” said Pat Martin, chief city planner of Terre Haute. “It’s unusual for a site to take this
long, but there were a lot of legal issues.” Terre Haute gained the property through a tax sale and finally got the demolition approved by the Department of Environmental Management in August, causing an almost nine-year process. “I’ve been out on the site every day for about three weeks, not just overseeing the project, but making sure there were no more issues with the city,” Martin said. “My whole job was to find the contamination, clean the contamination, oversee the demolition, et cetera.” Martin explained that it was in July that ISU offered to take possession of the property. This got the ball rolling so ISU could take
the land. “That was kind of the plan the entire time for the city to do the cleanup and then turn the property over to the university,” Duncan said. “It made the most sense for the university to have the property because it is on our campus.” Since the construction and cleanup is still underway, the total cost of the project is unknown. “As to the demolition of the remaining structure and any other costs paid by the University, we have not received final bills, so I do not have the total cost of the University at this time, “ said Senior Vice President for Finance and Administration Diann McKee.

Kiosks present African American history at ISU Miguel Lewis Reporter
The Charles E. Brown African American Cultural Center has added virtual kiosks to tell the stories of influential black Sycamores. The kiosks that express the tales of the many influential African-American students, from their hard work and dedication to endeavors made to receive a better education, were installed during the grand re-opening of the Charles E. Brown African American Cultural Center. The focus of the kiosks is to illustrate the history of the African American experience at ISU. The kiosks were put together by a handful of influential people, including History Lecturer Dr. Crystal Reynolds, former
AACC director Stephanie Jefferson, Katherine Kennedy, and Pepe Maloba, to name a few. The first of three kiosk installations aims to encourage students, staff and faculty alike to travel into the past, if only for a moment, to get a glimpse of how far African-American students have come at ISU. The African American presence has been felt at ISU since 1870, beginning with Zachariah M. Anderson, who is believed to be the very first African-American student to attend the university, previously named Indiana State Normal School. Crystal Reynolds, along with her collaborators worked with to ensure that everything was in order when it came time to present their work. “This project was and is important to us,”
Reynolds said. “I had to tell a story for better or worse, and now we’re into phase two of the kiosks named, ‘Self-Determination.’” The self-determination phase of the kiosks will focus specifically on the work that African American students did to get where they are today, and ensuring that their presence will be felt for years to come. During his remarks during the re-opening, President Daniel J. Bradley took time out of his speech to acknowledge the amount of work that went into the creation of the kiosks, as well as the collaborators of the kiosks. “A Survey of the African American Experience at Indiana State University,” which can be found online, spans from 1870 to

Located at the former site of the American Hominy Company plant, the American Can Company building may soon be transformed into apartments for Terre Haute residents. Currently owned by Indiana State University, the American Can (ICON) building sits along the Wabash River and adjacent to the newly built Gibson Track and Field Complex. Core Redevelopment, out of Indianapolis, will enlist in the rehabilitation of the structure. Core engaged in talks with ISU approximately three years ago regarding the potential project, and ways in which it could be feasibly accomplished. According to Eric Seal, a developer at Core, ISU bought the property that now houses the track and field athletic facilities and began contacting individuals about possible changes to the ICON building. “At first we had to decide if the building could be redeveloped, or if it had to torn down,” Seal said. “We look at the condition of the windows, structure, etc. to determine if we can rehab, or if it

Students share strategies learned at Kansas City Zoo Brittney Williams Reporter
Many innovative teaching strategies were shared by members of the Indiana Student Educators Association at the Science Extravaganza held on campus last week. The students in the Bayh College of Education presented the techniques and lessons they had learned at the Zoo-nique conference at the Kansas City Zoo last month. The topics covered included “Picture Perfect science,” “Foldables,” “Notable Notebooks”, “Playing with Science” and “Hands-On Circuits.” Speakers for the night were Kaitlyn Lenne, Shai Hollifield, Emily Brana, John Whybrew, and Dr. Melissa Nail. The topics covered aimed to help students who are going into teaching in order to increase critical thinking and engagement within any level of the classroom.
Hollifield presented “Picture Perfect Science” at the event, which is based upon books by Karen Ansberry and Emily Morgan. Hollified shared ideas and strategies for using picture books to teach engaging and meaningful lessons. “Picture books provide a context for the concepts that you’re teaching,” Hollifield said. “The books provide reading modules so it is a good way to integrate lessons. All the picture perfect science lessons also follow the 5e model, which is engage, explore, explain, elaborate and evaluate.” “Foldables” was presented by Brana and showed ways to make simple organizers that are dynamic and can be used to teach any number of concepts out of bracketed office envelopes. “Foldables are a great project for any age group,” Brana said. “They are also cross-curricular.”

Hurricane Matthew

As Hurricane Matthew moves out, Zika could move in Franco Ordonez
McClatchy Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON — As the waters from Hurricane Matthew recede, coastal residents from Florida to the Carolinas may have something else to worry about: Zika. The high winds broke through screen doors and windows, knocked out power and left behind small and large bodies of standing water that could be new breeding grounds for mosquitoes. Scientists raised concerns that the Zika virus that has reached South Florida is now more of a threat to expand and move up the coast. “It knocks a lot of stuff down so you just have a lot more things in which the mosquito can breed,” said Philip Stoddard, a Florida International University biology professor and the mayor of South Miami. “A damaged rain gutter, for instance, now becomes a rain collector. Every little object that blows off a house or even a chair flipped over on a porch becomes a container for mosquitoes to breed.” Most adult mosquitoes won’t survive the gusts of wind, and flooding will wash away young mosquitoes. Those that survive, however, will lay new eggs near standing water that will hatch and grow over the next week. Raising concerns for coastal communities in Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas is that there was an increase in neurological disease cases associated with the West Nile virus after Hurricane Katrina. In 2006, the cases of West Nile more than doubled in the hurricane affected areas of Louisiana and Mississippi, according to a 2008 Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study. “The immediate increase in cases may
be attributed to increased human exposure to mosquitoes,” wrote Kevin A. Caillouet, a Tulane research fellow at the time, in the CDC report. “Tens of thousands of persons in the hurricane-affected region were living in damaged housing or were waiting outside for days to be evacuated.” Caillouet, who is now assistant director of the St. Tammany Parish Mosquito Abatement District near New Orleans, emphasized West Nile and Zika are two different diseases and earlier studies showed no increase in viruses after storms. But he said there are common characteristics that should be taken into consideration. Hurricanes cause people to change their daily habits, which can make them vulnerable to bug bites by, for example, opening doors because the air conditioning doesn’t work and spending more time outside fixing what was broken. “So when you’re out there rebuilding your house, you’re not thinking about the mosquitoes that are biting at your ankles at the time,” Caillouet said. “You’re thinking about getting your house back in order.” CDC officials said studies show that hurricanes and floods do not typically cause an increase in the spread viruses by mosquitoes, but spokesman Benjamin Haynes acknowledged that some could and it’s better to take precautions. “Small increases in the numbers of (West Nile virus) cases were noted in some areas of Louisiana after Hurricane Katrina,” Haynes said. “After a hurricane or flood, the health department or mos

Post-Matthew rain soaks NC, raising fear of flooding Nigel Duara
Los Angeles Times
HARDEEVILLE, S.C.—Torrential rain battered North Carolina on Sunday, leading to fears of flooding as the remnants of Hurricane Matthew continued to wreak havoc despite the storm’s having been downgraded to a post-tropical cyclone. Officials said Matthew had caused at least 15 deaths in the United States, including seven in North Carolina. The storm caused hundreds of deaths in Haiti last week. Officials said the North Carolina deaths involved drivers or their passengers who entered flooded roads. The storm was expected to churn eastward off the coast of North Carolina and continue to weaken into Monday. But officials warned there are plenty of reasons to remain concerned. The unofficial rainfall totals were staggering: 18 inches in Wilmington, 14 inches in Fayetteville and 8 inches in Raleigh, the Associated Press reported. “We will not see the rivers peak possibly until Monday and Tuesday. Our models show very, very dangerous conditions as those rivers go over their edges,” North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory said Sunday morning. “This storm is not over for North Carolina.” North Carolina rescue workers have made nearly 900 water rescues, McCrory said, including 200 people from Pinetops, N.C. Some people had clung to trees or the tops of buildings to escape the floodwaters. Private energy companies and electric cooperatives in North Carolina reported
Indiana State trustees, announce restructuring
In conjunction with the launch of a new strategic plan for 2016 through 2021, the Indiana State University Board of Trustees and the Indiana State University Foundation are planning a restructuring of the ISU Foundation, which will allow the foundation to retain its 501(c)(3) status while more closely aligning it with the university, officials announced today. The foundation board and the board of trustees approved moving forward with the restructuring during their meetings today (Sept. 30, 2016). “For the past 10 years, the foundation has operated as a completely separate entity, which has added a lot of operational complexity to the foundation’s plate and diluted the time, energy and resources which could be utilized to build private support for the university,” said David Campbell, chair of the board of trustees. “This move will provide a stronger focus on fundraising

about 750,000 customers without power. In South Carolina, Matthew smashed into the coast 40 miles northeast of Charleston, becoming the first storm to hit that state since 2004. Many coastal areas remained without power Sunday. Interstate 95, the East Coast’s main artery, was reopened Saturday after a brief closing, but gas stations and restaurants along the route remained closed. Local officials requested that an evacuation order continue in four coastal and lowland South Carolina counties, including Beaufort, the county that includes Hilton Head. In Hardeeville, cars filled with tourists in Hilton Head T-shirts gathered around plastic-covered gas pumps, waiting for the pumps to turn back on. Thomas Burly, 30, sat in the back of his white Ford pickup with three friends, all of them evacuees from the storm that struck their homes on Hilton Head Island. When they had to flee, they first traveled to Asheville, N.C., on Thursday. A room cost $100. By the next morning, the hotel was charging $340 for the same space. Burly and his friends relocated to Atlanta, where they spent Friday night, and finally moved to Hardeeville on Saturday, the inland town where deputies from the Beaufort County Sheriff ’s Office staffed a checkpoint and turned away everyone except first-responders. In addition to the seven deaths in North Carolina, there were four reported in Florida, three in Georgia and one in South Carolina, the AP reported.
“driven by the Constitutional protection of free speech,” but officials wouldn’t disclose details of their findings. This investigation’s conclusion differs from similar recent cases at other universities. Last month, a Kansas State student was expelled for a Snapchat picture of her and a friend wearing black clay masks with a racially offensive caption. A student from Belmont University in Nashville was also dismissed after a Snapchat with a violent threat toward black NFL players who had protested during the national anthem. The two UND Snapchat incidents occurred within days of each other in late September. The first involved three different students who allegedly locked a
black student out of a dorm and took a picture on her phone with the caption, “locked the black b--- out.” And the second showed four students posing in blackface with the caption “Black lives matter.” “As part of the conversation with student leaders, we talked about the concept of Zero Tolerance,” UND President Mark Kennedy said in a statement released following the investigation. “While I appreciate the desire for such a policy, it is unachievable under the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.” Kennedy said he was aware that students and other members of the community were hurt by the incidents, and that he personally was “appalled” by the photos.
LOS ANGELES — The time had come to choose a major at Caltech, and Alice Michel had a notion that intrigued her. But when she looked it up on Wikipedia, what she got was a whole lot of gobbledygook. It was, she learned, an “interdisciplinary field of scientific research.” It had something to do with “the biosphere, the lithosphere and/or the atmosphere.” Here was a subject worthy of an entire area of study on campus, but its Wikipedia entry was “totally useless.” Lucky for geobiology, Michel wasn’t deterred. And before she graduated, as a senior project, she righted the wrong. She read through dozens of research papers, reviewed her own notebooks, surveyed her peers and turned the geobiology entry into a 4,200-word article — complete with diagrams, photos and hyperlinks to related topics. She was, in fact, one of hundreds of science students in the country who improved Wikipedia as part of their college coursework, in what many see as a boon for both the online encyclopedia and science education. Immersed in their own worlds of chemical compounds, differential equations and complicated lab reports, scientists have long struggled with translating what they know to the world. But professors are increasingly finding ways to train those entering scientific fields to be better communicators. After all, how useful is a scientific breakthrough if no one understands it — or even knows about it? “It was exciting … to share
what I got out of Caltech with the public, with perhaps people like a younger version of myself,” said Michel, who is now in Namibia doing fieldwork. Chances are good. Wikipedia has 500 million readers across the globe. Its content surfaces near the top of just about any Google search. Since the crowdsourced encyclopedia first hit the internet in 2001, tens of millions of people around the world have been empowered to anonymously create, edit and write about topics minuscule and enormous, wellknown and obscure. The quantity has been unbeatable, the quality sometimes far less so — a matter of significance for such topics as medical ailments and prescription drugs that frequently are searched for by those in need of information. Professors, once averse to Wikipedia, now see its potential. Midterm papers and literature reviews — usually read only by the instructor or perhaps a teaching assistant — can be turned into comprehensive, accurate Wikipedia entries. “College students are in this great sweet spot where they’re picking up a lot of knowledge about science in their field, but they’re also still connected to that sense of not knowing. That’s a great time to write for the general audience,” said Eryk Salvaggio of the Wiki Education Foundation, a San Francisco-based nonprofit, spun off from the nonprofit that runs Wikipedia, whose goal is to train professors to improve the quality of Wikipedia’s content. The depth of knowledge on Wikipedia is uneven. A lot de

All told, these webpages have been viewed more than 81 million times. The foundation’s goal is to double these numbers by the end of 2016, which it has

A new memorandum of understanding, which defines the relationship between the university and foundation, was approved by both boards today. All employees of the foundation will become university employees. Current foundation employees who perform human resources, alumni affairs, communications and marketing and special event responsibilities will be moved to university offices/divisions engaged in similar functions including the Office of Human Resources, the Division of University Engagement, the Office of Communications and Marketing and the Office of the President and the Provost.

Monday, Oct. 10, 2016 • Page 3 dubbed the Year of Science. To accomplish this, Wiki Ed, with the help of Google and the Simons Foundation, which seeks to advance research in math and basic sciences, has been recruiting at conferences held by professional groups such as the American Society of Plant Biologists and teaming up to host Wikipedia-editing marathons with the American Association for the Advancement of Science. Also helping the cause is what seems to be a generational shift in the perceived value of clear, accessible science communication. In past decades, the attitude was “real scientists don’t talk to the public about their work. You’re not awarded for popularizing science,” said Deborah Blum, director of MIT’s Knight Science Journalism Program.
“And we’re not past that entirely.” But, she said, “we’re all going to be better off if thinking about how we talk about science in an open, transparent, understandable way is integrated into the way we train scientists from the beginning.” In her intro to biochemistry class at UCLA, Heather Tienson assigns about a dozen honors students each quarter to find a topic — biological membrane, dehydrogenase, voltage gated ion channels, protein aggregation — that needs improving on Wikipedia. A good article, Tienson tells her students, should be simple enough that someone in high school can understand it, but also well-defined and comprehensive enough that she can get something out of it too. With the help of online tuto-
rials and on-call experienced entry writers known as Wikipedians, students first learn how to follow the website’s (surprisingly) strict protocols. Citations, for instance, are crucial. For the final version of an entry — about two pages long, single-spaced — Tienson requires at least 10 references. To track down the most reliable sources, students usually have to read many more. Tone is key — just the facts, no arguing a particular hypothesis. Then there’s clarity. “You have to know the jargon well enough to be able to replace it with a more simple, concise explanation,” Tienson said. Since she introduced the assignment last fall, 33 students have expanded articles on Wikipedia. Before publication, each article was peer-reviewed by two classmates.
come part of the new University Division of Development. “The foundation board is fully supportive of this change and the renewed emphasis on fundraising that it provides. We look forward to working with Ron and the development team to increase private fundraising in support of the University. I believe this is an exciting opportunity to move forward in a manner that will greatly benefit our students and our University,” said Bart Colwell, chair of the foundation board of directors. Colwell noted that the foundation board will continue to provide oversight and guidance to the fundraising staff and assist with the cultivation and stewardship of private donations. The foundation became a more separate entity in 2006 as it prepared for its first comprehensive fundraising campaign. At that time, the position of president of the foundation that was separate and distinct from the university was created. Prior to 2006, the president of the university had served as the president of the foundation. A vice president of the university
served as executive vice president of the foundation. The latter position was folded into the new president of the foundation role. In 2010, the foundation board and the board of trustees took several steps to strengthen the relationship between the university and foundation. That was an attempt to provide better communication, coordination and alignment of goals between the two entities. “Those steps helped with the communication. However, in review, we have come to the conclusion that we will better served by maintaining a separate 501(c) (3), while having the CEO also serve as a vice president of the university. Other universities who have completely separate foundations tend to be much larger with more mature fundraising operations than what we have at ISU,” Campbell said. Carpenter said he looks forward to serving in his new role. “This is an opportunity to bring much sharper focus on our goals and allows our entire development team to concentrate on raising private dollars for the
university,” he said. No individuals lost their jobs as part of the restructuring, although it is possible some jobs may be eliminated through attrition as jobs turn over, Campbell noted. In moving the foundation employees to the university, some titles and salaries will be adjusted to fit into the university’s compensation structure; however, no reductions in salary are planned. All impacted employees were notified of the proposed changes pending the outcome of today’s meetings. Campbell said the move was an important step in preparing for the new strategic plan. “Indiana State has had great success in advancing the goals of ‘The Pathway to Success’ strategic plan. The board of trustees and the foundation board of directors want the university and the foundation to be well-positioned to capitalize on the amazing success we have experienced under President Dan Bradley’s leadership as we begin implementing the new strategic plan, which was launched earlier this month,” Campbell said.
the community what they needed, was very exciting,” Mayor Duke Bennett said. “When they showed interest in this project, we knew the outcome would be similar.” Bennett explained that the City of Terre Haute identified a need for residential housing along the Wabash River. “It’s great that ISU is moving to the river,” Bennett said. “Just developing that area that’s been kind of under-utilized, you can see a shift in direction that is going to lead to additional development.” Once completed, the building to be known as “One Sycamore” will hold approximately 170 apartments consisting of one, two, and three bedroom units. According to Seal, there will be a
limited number of studio apartments and the pricing “ … could start as low as $500 to $600.” Current financing for the project is still very much fluid, as Core Redevelopment will invest, but are still working on the specifics of the deal. “We still need city approval for some incentives,” Seal said. In terms of ISU’s financial contribution to the project, there will be none. “The building itself will be transferred to the City of Terre Haute Redevelopment Commission,” Diann McKee, senior vice president of finance, said. “(Core) has a list of things they need, from this much income, and these many incentives from local government in order to make this happen,” Bennett
said. “They could spend $23 million over there, of their own money, but they get some of our (City of Terre Haute) money to help with that for a period of time.” There are hopes that this project will be the start of a transformation for the Wabash River. “We want people to use the river, access the river, and make it part of their lives because right now that doesn’t happen a whole lot,” Bennett said. “If you look at other communities across the United States that have invested in their river fronts, they’ve been very successful.” Once approved, the One Sycamore project will be slated for completion by 2018.
SCIENCE FROM PAGE 1 Although all envelopes will work for the project, bracketed envelopes are best because they allow the students to access the envelope as often as they need without compromising the closure. “Notable Notebooks” was presented by Lenne guided by the work of author Jessica Fries-Gaither and shared how a variety of uses of notebooks in the classroom can assist students in their learning. “All students learn differently. They’re not all at the same level so we have to reach every child on their own level,” Lenne said. “Notebooks provide a variety of ways to introduce a prompt; Students can either write or draw so they can still be engaged in group conversations instead of being held back because they can’t remember how to spell a word.” “Playing with Science” was presented by Nail and covered lessons to help teach the concepts of sound waves, gravity and camouflage. Nail demonstrated science experiments that when paired with lessons could increase the engagement of students by showing them how the lessons apply to their lives directly. She used eggs stacked on a plate and empty paper towel roll above water to demonstrate gravity
when the plate and roll where removed. Nail also showed how sound waves travel and sound different at different frequency by using a slinky, metal spoon and cylinder can. Whybrew presented “Hands-On Circuits.” The session got participants out of their seats to experiment by physically creating and extending closed circuits. The purpose of the activity was to make connections in order to show how closing a circuit completes the channel for energy to pass through. The Science Extravaganza wrapped up with a giveaway of teaching materials and books ISEA received at previous conventions. The event was made possible because of the ISEA with the special help of The Center for Community Engagement and The Department of Teaching and Learning. Indiana Student Educators Association President John Whybrew would like to invite any interested students to their officer election meeting on Nov. 16. Additionally, Sycamore Educators Day is Nov. 5, 2016, ISEA can be found on the ISU Treehouse and social media. More information on their upcoming events can be found by contacting the group.

Residents can help control mosquitoes in and around your home and prevent mosquito bites.” Matthew was expected to temporarily interrupt mosquito control efforts in Miami as spraying pesticides would not be effective during strong winds. Gov. Rick Scott asked Florida residents to drain standing water before and after the hurricane. Stoddard said Friday that local officials in South Florida had not had the time to discuss the mosquito issue, but he said the hurricane largely missed South Miami. The greater consideration, he said, is farther north. Derric Nimmo, principal scientist for Oxitec, which has developed genetically modified mosquitoes that are being considered for release in Key West, said time will tell. It’ll take about a week for transmissions to rise as the mosquito population grows. But he said “risk is risk,” which also means transmissions may not increase.

The survey, much like the kiosks, gives a visual representation of the African-American experience. Likewise, the kiosks focus on their achievements. Much like the aforementioned Zachariah M. Anderson, the first African American professor, Dr. James Conyers, and the first African-American woman of the AACC, Merle Ard, are mentioned. According the kiosks, “The university hired its first professional staff members and faculty in 1959 and 1962, respectively. In 1969, the university would break new ground when it selected Nancye Mitchell, a retired Gary, Indiana schoolteacher, to be its first African-American Board of Trustees member. Since then African Americans have graced the board at Indiana State University.”

African Coffee Hour spreads culture to Indiana State students Michaela Harrison Reporter
On Thursday Oct. 6, 2016, Indiana State University hosted the African Coffee Hour that was located on the seventh floor of Hulman Memorial Student Union. The purpose of establishing these different hospitality or cof-
fee hours throughout the school year, was creating an area where all Indiana State University students have the equal opportunity to learn new things about a culture that differs from their own. There was ethnic food and coffee supplied at the African Coffee Hour that also served as a means to further educate participating
students in the said culture. Students that attended Thursday’s African Coffee Hour were able to socialize with other people and also got to learn more about the African culture. There was also a TV screen that portrayed fun facts relating to the African culture and there was also some African Music
playing in the background as students, faculty and staff mingled and interacted with one another throughought the event. Jipin Jose, a graduate assistant for the Center for Global Engagement, said that the event gave the ISU community a chance to interact and learn something new. “The African Coffee Hour on
Thursday was organized by the Center for Global Engagement and hosted by the African Student Union.” Jose said. “The African Student Union is one of the largest and most active international student organization on campus and it is always a pleasure to attend an event hosted by them.”

Where Frank Sinatra lived it his way Neal J. Leitereg
Los Angeles Times (TNS)
LOS ANGELES — If these walls could talk. A scenic retreat built for legendary singer and actor Frank Sinatra in the mountains above Palm Desert has come back on the market in its entirety for $3.9 million. The midcentury lodge was previously offered a year ago for $3.95 million, without surrounding parcels of land now being included in the sale, said listing agent Markus Canter of Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices California Properties. Named Villa Maggio by Sinatra in recognition of his Oscar-winning role in “From Here to Eternity,” the estate on roughly 7.5 acres was custom-designed with privacy and entertaining in mind. Native landscapes and rock outcrops surround the home, which sits at an elevation of 4,300 feet on the sunrise side of the San Jacinto Mountains. A gated road and a private on-site helipad provide access to the property. “Sinatra specifically worked with architect Ross Patton to build a comfortable home where he could entertain his friends and family,” said Canter. “This is where (Sinatra) could just be Frank and live life his way.” During his dozen years of ownership, Sinatra used his sanctuary to host a variety of guests. Members of his inner circle known as the Rat Pack, as well as an endless stream of celebrities and dignitaries, were known to frequent
the property. There were countless female visitors, too, before his marriage to Barbara Marx in 1976. The current owners, who knew Sinatra from his days performing in Las Vegas, have meticulously maintained and restored the 1967 property, keeping its original vibe. Vintage details include beamed and vaulted ceilings, locally sourced stone fireplaces and wood-paneled walls. Multiple viewing decks and balconies take in sweeping desert panoramas. Three structures sit on the property and can comfortably sleep as many as 20 people. A rustic main lodge, a two-story guesthouse and a pool house with a great room and two saunas combine for more than 6,400 square feet. Each building has its own kitchen, and there are nine bedrooms, 13.5 bathrooms and nine fireplaces in all. Outdoors, a dance floor sits between the tennis court and a lighted swimming pool and spa. Nearby, a large patio surrounds a fire pit. Sinatra, who died in 1998 at age 82, had timeless hit songs that include “Strangers in the Night,” “My Way” and “New York, New York.” Last year marked the 100th anniversary of his birth. After doubling down on his French village earlier this year, Johnny Depp is ready to part with another piece of his exotic real estate portfolio. The actor-producer-musician has listed his collection of residences atop the Eastern Columbia Building
in downtown Los Angeles for sale at $12.78 million. Depp’s properties include five multifloor penthouses within the art deco building, originally designed by Claud Beelman and modernized in 2007. The downtown landmark is distinguished by its exterior of teal terra cotta and gold-leaf tile and a four-sided clock tower that tops the 1930s structure. Kept largely separate during the actor’s ownership, the residences include multiple kitchens, living areas and lofted spaces decorated in a colorful, bohemian style. Perhaps more unusual than Depp’s extensive art and furniture collection, one unit displays a framed Miami Dolphins jersey with a letter signed by Dan Marino. The loft-style penthouses, which total about 11,500 square feet of space, were designed to function as individual rooms, each serving a particular purpose. Certain units connect on the upper level, including a pair reached through salvaged bank vault doors. Terraces of various sizes invite outdoor entertaining and dining. The outdoor spaces as well as rows of steel-paned windows take in sweeping downtown views. The 53-year-old actor has been in sell mode of late but is hardly looking to sell short. Earlier this year, Depp put his compound in Plan de la Tour, France, back on the market for around $55 million — double
what he asked for the 47-acre Provencal village a year ago. Known for his offbeat roles, Depp has starred in more than 50 major motion pictures, including “Edward Scissorhands,” “Donnie Brasco” and the “Pirates of the Caribbean” films. He gained recognition among television viewers in the 1980s series “21 Jump Street.” More recently, the actor starred in the fantasy flick “Alice Through the Looking Glass.” The penthouse listings also can be purchased individually. More than 60 years after it was subdivided, the Buster Keaton estate in Beverly Hills is back together, nearly as it once was. Bill Guthy, co-founder of the TV direct-marketing company Guthy-Renker, and his wife, writer and makeup entrepreneur Victoria Jackson, bought a property that was once part of the silent-film comic’s former home for $16.2 million through a probate sale. The purchase reunites the property with the main Keaton estate, which the couple acquired in 2002 for $17 million, public records show. Originally built for Keaton in 1926, the storied estate has a chain of ownership that also includes leading man Cary Grant and his wife, Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton, and, later, actors James and Pamela Mason. Actress Marlene Dietrich made a cameo in its history as a former tenant, and Richard Burton and Peter O’Toole stayed as guests of

The month of October is often associated with Halloween, so this month’s First Friday was themed Haunted Haute. People throughout the community were welcomed to come and participate in the festivities. The First Friday offered treats to attendees, a photo booth to capture special moments, story time and a section that allowed people to create their own Halloween mask. Due to the fact that the event was Halloween themed, people were encouraged to wear costumes. People were able to shop at the different stores and also dine at some of the restaurants that Terre Haute has to offer. The Flying Jacksons also performed. The event had different activities for attendees to participate in such as wagon rides, kid focused activities, and a window-decorating contest. First Friday events are citywide public events that occur on the first Friday of every month. The purpose of these citywide events is to attract people to different parts of the community and to socialize with different members that surround the area. Throughout the country, First Friday events are focused on enriching community members by focusing on art galleries that are in a specific city. Different cities in America focus particularly on art themed events in order to attract people to different art galleries throughout the city. In 1987, African-Americans shaped First Friday into an event that allowed them to network with other professionals. First Friday offered them the opportunity to share and gain information with other African-American professionals. First Friday has evolved into an important staple in American culture for many individuals. It is used to promote art, social interaction, and networking. The First Friday events benefit the community and encourages involvement with people who live in the community and who may even share the same interests. Terre Haute’s First Friday event took place at Barnes and Noble and throughout the downtown area.
“Alien” changed sci-fi and horror history Max Rinehart Reporter
37 years ago, the science fiction and horror genres were ultimately changed forever. In 1979, Ridley Scott’s film “Alien” was released. At the time, the film was advertised as just your average scifi film, similar to the groundbreaking 1977 film “Star Wars.” But very soon after the film was released, it became very clear to everyone that this was no “Star Wars.” “Alien” was a real, and claustrophobic film, something that had never been seen in the genre before. The film also added an element of horror which made
the realness and claustrophobics seem even more disturbing. The film follows the seven-person crew of the space aircraft Nostromo in 2122. Shortly after the beginning of the film, the crew begins to get a mysterious transmission on an unknown planet. Naturally, as the spacemen and women that they are, they go down to check it out. What they find is an unknown lifeform. The crew then decides to take one of the lifeforms back to the ship with them for further investigation. However, as they begin to take the lifeform back, it attacks one of the members of the ship. The remaining crew reluctantly decides to take the injured and
infected member back on to the ship. What ensues is intense and filled with many twist and turns, giving a true sense of horror. Because of the unknown, Scott plays the audience like a puppet. Making you feel uneasy until the final credits. The viewer really feels like they are a part of the ship. This adds importance to every single move that the passengers make. As you get to know the members of the ship. The audience chooses their allies and enemies. This is something that Scott makes ever-so-popular with his later films “Blade Runner” and “Prometheus.” In terms of the importance of “Alien” as it pertains to the his-
tory of film, it was revolutionary. At the time, many had never seen anything like it. Viewers of the time were extremely frightened throughout the film; a fright that is still present when you watch the film today. The film is also extremely dark, in more ways than one. The lighting is natural and dull. When the film is dark it gives you a feeling of uneasiness, something Scott has accomplished very well throughout his career. Another thing that adds to the horror, is the films sound. It’s not only the films score that gives you goosebumps, it’s also the little nuances of sound. As the film progresses, sound becomes a key element. Beginning very quietly, then slowly
adding more and more sound into the mix. A final thing that made “Alien” revolutionary was the fact that its protagonist was a woman. Ripley, played by Sigourney Weaver, is a strong character throughout the film and the character of Ripley has since been hailed as one of films favorite protagonists. Scott’s franchise has grossed over a billion dollars worldwide, and is considered one of the elite film franchises of our day, marking its territory with the likes of “Star Wars” and the “Indiana Jones” series. Scott has another film in the works, scheduled to come out in early 2017. Scott, who is now 78 years old, doesn’t seem to be slowing down anytime soon.

It was during the Masons’ ownership that the estate was split into three parcels, including the one just sold to Guthy and Jackson. The roughly half-acre property had been owned by longtime Beverly Hills resident Lillian Portnoy, whose family had a home built there in 1954. Portnoy told the Los Angeles Times in May that the house became a gathering spot to the stars over the years. Among guests were Sean Connery, Charlie Chaplin Jr. and Jean Ronald Getty. Portnoy said her former beau Elvis Presley often enjoyed the cabana houses and the 60-foot-long swimming pool — structures retained from the original estate. “This is the best part of the original estate that is going to be reunited,” listing agent Aitan

The formal gardens, an exterior staircase, a fountain and a covered pavilion are other holdovers from the original property, he noted. The 3,007-square-foot house was placed in a conservatorship prior to listing for sale in May for $8.795 million. The situation allowed prospective buyers to present higher offers at the courthouse, even with a pending contract, according to Linda Cotterman, the conservator for Portnoy. With the purchase, Guthy and Jackson now own more than two acres of the original 3.5-acre estate, including Keaton’s former home, an Italian villa of about 11,000 square feet. The third, unincorporated parcel was never developed during Keaton’s ownership, which extended through the early 1930s, and was sold vacant by the Masons.

Russia and U.S. tensions increase
Steve Wininger Columnist
It appears that American foreign policy concerning Russia is not working, and possibly making matters worse. With recent events this past week concerning Syria, and even more recently, tensions in the Balkans, it seemed prudent to continue the conversation about Russia and the U.S. Earlier this week, bilateral talks concerning the war in Syria were suspended by the United States because Russia had failed to stop its assault on Aleppo and restore a cease-fire. Since then, the rhetoric from both sides has increased. Moscow announced it was suspending an arms reduction agreement with the U.S. in which both countries agreed to eliminate 34 tons of plutonium. Wednesday, a Russian state newspaper was predicting a direct confrontation with the U.S., comparing the current situation between the two powerhouses to the Cuban missile crisis. A Russian broadcaster had told BBC that there is a feeling that America is out to prove it is the only superpower, and the expansion by NATO is seen by the Russian government as a real threat. Russia has deployed surfaceto-air missiles to its airbase in Syria. Concerned of reports that the Obama administration is considering airstrikes against the Assad regime, Russia threatened to shoot down any American jets that try to fire on Assad forces. The war of rhetoric continued Friday. For the first time, the U.S. government openly accused the Russians of the cyberattacks that resulted in the leaked emails from the Democratic National Committee this past July. Russia calls the allegations “nonsense” and the U.S admits they have no direct link to the Russian government. The Obama administration believes the attacks were aimed at influencing the elections here, and that only the Russian government could have ordered such an attack. In addition to accusations about hacking, the U.S. has also accused the Russians of war crimes in Aleppo. On Saturday, the Russians vetoed a U.N. Security Council res-
olution to halt the airstrikes in Aleppo. In addition to the increased tensions in Syria, Russia deployed nuclear-capable Isklander missiles to the western reaches of Kaliningrad, which borders NATO countries Poland and Lithuania. While Russia says the deployment was a military exercise, and that they had done them before in that area, Poland is highly concerned and is monitoring activity there. Earlier this year, NATO began sending troops into some Baltic states in what they refer to as a defensive move, but Russia sees it as a threat. In an interview on Russian News ‘RT,’ retired CIA and State Department official, Larry Johnson claimed that if the United States had the same standard applied to them that they are trying to impose on Russia, the U.S. would be before a war crimes tribunal. Johnson said the U.S. set the fire in Syria, and when Russia came to put the fire out, the U.S accused them of not doing it right. Reagan ended the Cold War in 1991. Prior to the end of that war, there was always a chance of nuclear war. It was not uncommon to hear a conversation about nuclear threats. After the Cold War ended, there was not the level of conversation about nuclear war, and there was much less chance it would happen. In fact, there were arms reduction treaties, and plans put in place to reduce stockpiles. Recently, the talk of nuclear confrontation and war that did not involve Iran or North Korea has reignited. Besides a huge deficit and growing troubles on the domestic front, the next president will be left to deal with a foreign policy nightmare, provided the current administration does not propel us into war first. Many people are concerned about the lack of foreign policy experience with Trump and his relations with Putin, which are more cordial than the current administration or Clinton are comfortable with. Certainly, the continued rhetoric from Clinton will keep us on an unstable path: at best, cold war, at worse, World War III, as some suggest the current trajectory may lead. With tensions rising at an exponential rate, perhaps a new change of policy from rhetoric to dialogue will be the best way to defuse a tense situation.

“Release the Transcripts:” Quotes from Clinton’s Wall Street Speeches Leak
Joe Lippard
Assistant Opinions Editor
On Friday night, conveniently around the same time as footage of Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump making extremely lewd comments about women was leaked, Wikileaks posted 2,000 emails from Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta. Included in these emails are supposed excerpts of speeches that Clinton gave to Wall Street investors and bankers. These speeches have long been the target of anti-Clinton protests, with protestors shouting for Clinton to release the transcripts to the private, secret speeches. Podesta tweeted about the leak, saying that he was furious to be “hacked by the Russians in their quest to throw the election to Donald Trump” and that with the huge amount of content that was released, he didn’t have time
to see what was real and what was fake. Bernie Sanders was a big proponent of Clinton releasing the fabled transcripts. During a speech in Michigan, Sanders said, “I kind of think if you’re going to be paid $225,000 for a speech, it must be a fantastic speech. A brilliant speech which you would want to share with the American people.” Sanders made a point. Clinton made a lot of money on these speeches, and it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to suggest that Clinton is influenced more by the people on Wall Street than the voters and middle-class Americans that she needs in order to win the election. CNN says that Clinton herself seems to acknowledge that she may be out of touch with everyday Americans in a speech excerpt where she supposedly said, “My father loved to complain about big business and big government, but we had a solid middle class upbringing. ... And now, obviously, I’m kind of far removed because the life I’ve lived and the economic, you know, fortunes that my husband and I now enjoy, but I haven’t forgotten it.” I have to disagree with CNN.
She acknowledges where she came from and acknowledged that she’s removed from the middle-class life; however, she said that she hadn’t forgotten what that was like. You can empathize and understand what it means to be a part of a group of people without actually being a part of that group. She doesn’t have to live on food stamps in order to understand that people on food stamps struggle to make it by. The excerpt that I’m most troubled by is from a speech that she supposedly gave to the National Multi-Housing Council. In the excerpt, she implies that what she says publicly may not be what she truly believes. “I mean, politics is like sausage being made,” she said. “It is unsavory, and it always has been that way, but we usually end up where we need to be. But if everybody’s watching, you know, all of the backroom discussions and the deals, you know, then people get a little nervous, to say the least. So, you need both a public and a private position.” I don’t disagree that people become anxious if they see everything that happens behind the scenes, but suggesting that she thinks that politicians have

The unwavering wishes of those eager to say “I do”
Kirstyn Quandt Columnist
It’s no secret that I am an adamant planner. From my weekly schedule to a detailed five-year plan, I am a sticky note connoisseur and one who cringes at the thought of going with the flow. Therefore, it only seems fitting that one of my career aspirations is to become a wedding planner. Heck, the title emphasizes my or-
ganizational pursuits and love of all things cheesy and romantic. Growing up, one of my favorite movies was “The Wedding Planner,” starring Jennifer Lopez. Watching her share in the magical moments of others as well as reveling in her own, I realized that wedding planning brings happiness, cake and, of course, a whole lot of stress. But cake can outweigh a lot, right? Although there would be a great deal of pressure to plan the most memorable day possible for clients, with each wedding we attend we learn and store a smidge more about the do’s and don’ts of the big day. Fortunately, we tend to experience weddings in phases. When we are young we grow up look-
ing through old pictures of our grandparent’s and parent’s weddings, admiring the wedding dress in all out its outdated fashion and trying rings on our too small fingers. And we are in awe, imagining our own wedding in the far, far future as a day of unparalleled love and magic. Then we are the flower girl, junior bridesmaid or youngest guest in attendance, and we see firsthand the inner workings of the big day. Yet, we don’t quite understand all the preparation taking place. For me, it was my Nana’s backyard wedding in New York, wearing canary yellow and the most giant of smiles as I walked down the aisle. And finally, as we become young adults and our friends get

engaged, say yes to their dream dress and you’re asked to be a bridesmaid, everything becomes much more real. All of the years of not being able to drink wine at the reception and continually answering what your post high school plans are fly out the window. Then, as these special moments come along, we stow away bits and pieces from each celebration in unconscious preparation for our own. We think of food we want to serve on our own special day, styles of dresses we love and more importantly the tone we want to set for our guests. While some start planning at 10 years of age and others start the moment they say yes, all women, at some point or another,
have given thought to their wedding. Nicholas Sparks-inspired love or the friendship first, love second route, relationships are an inevitable part of life and it’s our innate nature as human beings to search for support, belonging and love. It may come to you when you hear the newest John Legend song, or when your dad mentions what a wreck he will be walking you down the aisle one day, but in each of these moments we think about our future and sharing that future with someone else. Just then, is when all of our beautiful planning falls into place: or, when wedding chaos ensues. Cue the bridezillas.

Letter to the Editor
Why voting for a third party is not a good idea Dear editor, I am writing to those who are planning to protest the election process by voting for a third party candidate or by staying home. I am also writing to those of you who simply feel it is not worth voting. It is very important to think about the consequences of your vote. You may think that letting the right wing elect Trump will show us all how we must reform. And you are certainly correct about that. But just think what can happen during those four years or however long he would be in before being impeached. We can get an idea of those potential
consequences by looking back to 2000, when Al Gore and Joe Lieberman lost to George Bush and Dick Cheney. There was a protest vote in 2000: Ralph Nader ran as the Green Party Candidate, winning almost 3 million votes. Florida proved to be the deciding contest; only 500 votes (out of almost 6,000,000) separated Bush and Gore. Ralph Nader, however, won 97,488 votes in Florida. Most of Nader’s votes would have gone to Gore. So, without a protest vote for Nader, we would have had a president Gore, the guy who led the charge on climate change.
So what was the result of the protest vote, what can we learn about the potential impact of protest votes? After 9-11 Cheney and Bush decided that Iraq needed to be attacked, even though most of the terrorists were from Saudi Arabia. And Cheney went out of his way to link Iraq and Saddam Hussein to Al-Qaeda. This is the important part. Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, the terrorist who started ISIS, was known by the U.S. to be gathering power. The CIA found al-Zarqawi in an isolated location and asked permission to use a drone to ‘take him out’. Cheney-Bush said ‘no’. They let him go because they wanted to link Saddam Hus-
sein to al-Zarqawi and then link al-Zarqawi to Al-Qaeda. This link would justify attacking Iraq. However, the CIA told Cheney that Saddam did not know al-Zarqawi and would probably kill him if he did; and that there was no link between al-Zarqawi and Al-Qaeda. Cheney tried to get the CIA analysts to change their reports. He also edited (thoroughly changed) the text on weapons of mass destruction and al-Zarqawi in Colin Powell’s infamous United Nations speech. To learn more about the history of ISIS and the role of Cheney watch the 16 May Frontline ‘The Secret History of ISIS’ available
at PBS.org/frontline/watch. So what did the 2000 protest vote give us? We can’t say for sure, but one can infer that it gave us the war in Iraq (thanks to Cheney) and ISIS (thanks to Bush and Cheney). So your vote does count, and a ‘protest’ can have dire consequences. Please look at the qualifications of all four candidates and choose based on competency and knowledge. We need change, but let’s work from the inside to make that change, just as Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren are doing. Tom Duffy
RELEASE FROM PAGE 6 to basically lie to their voters is alarming for obvious reasons. At the end of the day, as much as I’m put off by Clinton’s comments that you have to have “both a public and a private position,” and as much as I notice that Clinton never tells Wall Street bankers to “cut it out” like she said she did at one of the first debates with Bernie Sanders, we don’t have the whole story. Even if these emails and speech excerpts are real, we have quotes with no context. These aren’t complete speeches, so the context of what she said — which is just as important as what she said — just isn’t there. We don’t know if the speeches are real, and we don’t know the context of the excerpts. This leak could possibly be a big deal, but we shouldn’t make a mountain out of a molehill just yet.

Sycamores fall in 36-35 heart breaker against Western Illinois Tyler Wooten
ISU Athletic Media Relations
MACOMB, Ill. – In a game filled with incredible luck and spectacular plays, the Sycamores fell one lucky break short of an upset of No. 13 Western Illinois, falling 36-35 in a heartbreaker at Hanson Field on Saturday afternoon. Indiana State (3-3, 1-2 MVFC) and Western (4-1, 1-1 MVFC) slugged it out in a backand-forth duel of amazing football, but it all came down to 4thand-1 on the Western 29-yard line with less than a minute to play. Down 36-35 and on the outskirts of field goal range, the Sycamores lined up on fourth down for what appeared to be a QB sneak. However, as ISU head coach Mike Sanford revealed postgame, the play was designed to draw the Leatherneck defense offsides to give ISU a little more time to devise a way to score in the final seconds of the game. It appeared to have worked, too, as WIU linebacker Brett Taylor appeared to have entered the neutral zone, forcing center Matt Byrne to snap the ball. The whistle never blew, though, and the Sycamores’ luck ran out as QB Isaac Harker was dropped in the backfield for a two-yard loss to seal victory for Western. “I think our guys played extremely hard,” Sanford said. “I think they played with a lot of character. I think they played with intensity, with will, with desire. I’m proud of them for that. I’ve got to give credit to Western Illinois, they won the game. They found a way to win the game.” At first, the game looked nothing like its exciting finish. Both teams traded three-and-outs
until RB Dimitri Taylor opened up a Pandora’s Box of explosive plays for both teams with a long 63-yard run late in the first quarter to set up his own one-yard TD run at the 3:13 mark. Western responded early in the second quarter on an 11yard TD scramble by WIU QB Sean McGuire, and then the fun began with two scores coming in the next 29 seconds of gametime. On the ensuing drive, senior WR Robert Tonyan Jr. became Indiana State’s all-time career leader in receiving touchdowns in truly entertaining fashion. On an errant pass from Harker intended for WR Clayton Smith that bounced off two different people, Tonyan was in the right place at the right time to snag the ball out of midair behind the secondary and run 65 yards to the house for the longest TD of his career. With that career-long reception, Tonyan broke Joe Downing’s all-time record of 15 touchdowns set in 1985. Just 16 seconds later, though, Western responded in kind with a massive 68-yard touchdown strike from McGuire (25-of-43, 363 yards, 3 TD, 2 INT) to Lance Lenoir, who had a monster day against the Sycamore defense with 204 yards and two touchdowns on 11 receptions. The last opposing receiver to break the 200-yard plateau against the Sycamore defense was future NFL Draft pick Laurent Robinson of Illinois State, who hauled in 14 catches for 292 yards and three touchdowns against the Sycamores on Nov. 12, 2005. That score began a 20-0 run by the Leathernecks, but the Sycamores quickly turned that around with an exhilarating

more offense, as Western closed out on a 9-0 run in the fourth quarter and came up with the big fourth-down stop with 30 seconds to play. The Sycamores now enter a crucial stretch of the Missouri Valley Football Conference slate at 3-3 overall and 1-2 in conference play with South Dakota coming into Terre Haute next
week. “This is a defining moment for our team in how we deal with this and how we move forward from this,” Sanford said. “We have a very important home game against South Dakota this week. You have to be able to respond to adversity in a positive way, and that, to me, is why (this game) is a defining moment.”

The Indiana State women’ soccer team tied the UNI Panthers in their conference game Saturday at Memorial Stadium. The game was a long defensive battle for both teams. The Sycamores tallied a total of 15 shots with six corner kicks while UNI posted 10 shots with four corners. Goalkeeper Brittany San Roman made seven saves during the match. Many Sycamores played a total of 110 minutes as the game went into double overtime with neither team being able to one away. The match also proved to be physical. As frustrations and intensity ran high UNI racked up eight fouls with the Sycamores adding another 11. ISU was led offensively by Pam Silies who had four shots with three on goal.

part everyone did a good job of getting up and racing especially considering we had some girls in four or five events last night,” Leach said. While the placings in the meet may not reflect the remarkable performance, the times that the freshman squad posted were very impressive. These times are now all relay and individual event records for Indiana State and the Sycamores will be looking to improve and continue beating them throughout the season. “Notre Dame is a great program with great talent and coaching, but we are very excited about the improvement from our Blue/White meet to now and are looking forward to continual improvement,” Leach said. Indiana State is back in the pool on Oct. 22 for the Indiana Intercollegiate Meet.
Volleyball wins thriller at Evansville in five sets EVANSVILLE, Ind. – Indiana State continued its dominance of in-state rival Evansville Saturday night at the Carson Center, defeating the Purple Aces 3-2 (2518, 25-21, 25-15, 21-25, 15-11) for their second Missouri Valley Conference win of the season. The victory marks the Sycamores’ eighth-straight win over Evansville (4-16, 0-7 MVC), moving the all-time series to 4228 in favor of Indiana State. Senior Bree Spangler continued her strong play as she led the Sycamores (8-10, 2-4 MVC) with 14 kills and 14 digs for her seventh double-double of the season. The Coldwater, Michigan native sits just eight digs away from the 1000 for her career. She would become the fourth player in program history to join the
1000 kill and dig club. Spangler was one of a trio of Indiana State players to reach double-digit kills as Kynedi Nalls (13) and Sarah Peterson (10) each helped propel the Sycamores to the victory. Rachel Griffin and Lueck Halle each accounted for 20+ assists. Halle tallied 23 while Griffin went for 22. A defensive battle for much of the match, the Sycamores hit just .161 on the night while holding the Aces to just .140. Each set that Indiana State won, the Sycamores jumped out to early leads where Evansville was unable to overcome the early deficit. Indiana State came out on fire to kick start things off in the opening set, taking advantage of several unforced errors from the
Aces throughout. Nalls finished the first set with five kills while hitting 1.000. As a team, the Sycamores finished the set with a .500 attacking percent. The Sycamores trailed by as many as six points in set four, before Stephani Bindernagel came up with two aces to pull Indiana State within three points. The UE lead was too much to overcome as the Aces called a timeout to cool the Sycamore momentum and force a fifth and deciding set. It was all Sycamores in the finale as the Indiana State attacking front put forth their best set since the opener, hitting at a clip of .241. Peterson would lead INS to the win as she recorded a teamhigh four kills in the set while
