Tandem riders race for bragging rights

Marissa Schmitter Features Editor The stands were full and blood was pumping in everyone’s veins as the tandem bicycle racers crossed the line to begin the 44th-annual tandem bike race Saturday.

Indiana State University President Daniel Bradley and his wife Cheri led the racers in pace laps before the race began, but once they left the track the racers were off.

They sped around the track, two per bike — one man and one woman — all hoping to win the Spring Week tradition.

Fraternities and sororities waved their flags in support of riders throughout the race, whooping and hollering as the bikes raced by.

However, Greek organizations weren’t the only ones at the event. Family members and friends also made it out to Rec East Saturday morning.

The riders did a total of 50 laps around the track, which roughly translates to 17 miles. Even as the race continued, the racer’s faces were full of determination. They didn’t let the number of laps daunt them.

Residence Hall Association — team members coming from different dorms such as Cromwell, Pickerl, Hines and Burford — showed Greek life they weren’t the only ones who could race their hearts out.

RHA qualified first on Friday, showing they were a force to be reckoned with.

Sigma Chi and Zeta Tau Alpha lead the race for 35 of the 50 laps, and it was looking promising for them; however, the pressure began to kick in as the race came to a close.

Bikes were dropped and mishaps in the pits began to happen as each team tried their hardest to race to the top.

Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Kappa and Theta Chi — who qualified fourth — took the lead with only four laps to go.

Riders raced around the track at Rec East on Saturday for a year’s worth of bragging rights. They darted around the track 50 times attempting to beat groups representing nearly all fraternities, sororities and residence halls on campus (Photo by Rochelle Weymouth).

Sigma Chi and Zeta Tau Alpha pedaled in sync and hard as they tried to regain their spot at the front. However, their attempt didn’t work and Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Sigma Kappa and Theta Chi pulled ahead by a few seconds and crossed the finish line for the win.

Emma Dickerhoff, a junior marketing major and president of Sigma Kappa, said she was proud that her team won.

“I think it’s awesome because we’ve worked so hard,” Dickerhoff said as she was catching her breath from the excitement of winning and pedaling so hard.

Haley Albamonte, a junior elementary education and special education major,

said she was proud to represent Sigma Kappa. She was also glad that so many alumni came out to support them as they raced.

“It’s an accomplishment for us. It’s an honor for the alumni to come out and support us,” Albamonte said.

Four-year riders and catchers were also honored at the end of the race.

Molly Nasser, a junior elementary education major and math minor, raced for Zeta Tau Alpha with Sigma Chi and was somewhat disappointed in the outcome of the race, but she still smiled and expressed that she would like to ride again next year.

“We’ve been practicing for four weeks,”

Nasser said. “We worked really hard and I wish it could have turned out better. But I’ve done this for two years and I want to finish out.”

Jacquelyn Gary, a senior operations and supply chain management major, was a Sigma Kappa four-year rider, but that won’t stop her from supporting her sisters in the future.

“I’m excited we ended on a good note,” Gary said. “We’ve been last and now we’ve placed first. I’ll definitely come back — it’s my favorite part of Spring Week. I mean, what other school does this?”

College of Business celebrates 50th Anniversary

Makyla Thompson Reporter

The Scott College of Business celebrated its 50th anniversary with Indiana State University alumni.

The room was decorated with blue and white, and there was a slideshow with pictures of what Indiana State looked like before it was called Indiana State University.

John Spicknall and Joe Deal played music for guests as they entered to take their seats and to get caught up with some old classmates, teachers and other alumni. It was a reunion for some of the guests that were there.

ISU President Daniel Bradley attended the anniversary event as well.

“It’s great to mark anniversaries,” Bradley said. “The decision to create the College of Business was a better decision made at Indiana State.”

There were several awards given that night as well, including the mover and shaker award, outstanding educator, industry partner, rising star award and outstanding alumni award.

Brien Smith, the dean of Scott College of Business, presented the awards.

“I’m very excited,” Smith said. “This is an opportunity for us to reflect on our

past.”

Becker came to Indiana State Teachers Richard Becker is an ISU alumnus College back in 1949 to get his master’s and the winner of the mover and shaker degree in business education. He was award. just one of the men who has been there

to see Indiana State’s name change from Indiana State Teachers College to Indiana State College and to what it is today.

“This is a milestone and it’s great to be here, because some of these old people are outside buried somewhere,” Becker said. “Some of my former students and former colleagues are here. I first came (to Indiana State) in ‘49, and I finished my masters in ‘51.”

As the night went on, Smith gave recognition to people like Bradley and Jack Maynard, the vice president of academic affairs and provost.

Alumni were presented with a miniature replica of the Legend of Buttonwood, a legendary meeting of stockbrokers that would become the New York Stock Exchange.

Michelle Swick, an administrative assistant for the college of business, helped put the event together but said she didn’t do it alone.

“We had a great group of team members who organized this event and I am most thankful,” Swick said. “You know what they say, ‘it takes a village.’ With us, it took a team. It was beyond my imagination. It was beautiful and everyone’s enjoying themselves. It was a great night for the Scott College of Business.”

Warm weather brings suspicious activity to ISU’s campus Kristi Sanders News Editor With warmer weather arriving Indiana State University students need to be alert for suspicious activity.

Joseph Newport, the chief of police at ISU, explained what constitutes suspicious activity.

“Suspicious activity is a broad term,” Newport said. “People call in when they see something that doesn’t feel right to them. The call is then interpreted by the dispatcher and is labeled suspicious activity or a suspicious person depending on what is reported.”

Something that people on campus might see as suspicious could be suspected use of drugs or alcohol, a group of people in the dark, people who look

out of place on campus or just strange behavior, Newport said.

He encourages anyone to call the offices if they feel something is off.

“Sometimes small things turn into bigger problems,” Newport said. “It also keeps the university police in practice and knowledgeable about what is happening on campus.”

Some advice Newport gives to students is keep aware what is going on around them. If they feel something needs looked into, they need to call the police, Newport said.

“The role of the police is to investigate,” Newport said.

If a student is on campus they can call 812-237-5555 for help or to report suspicious activity. If they are farther away

they can call the university police still if they want to.

“If the call is too far away from campus, we can hand it over to the local authorities,” Newport said. “If the student is not sure, we can make that decision though or they can dial 911.”

Some students said they don’t know if they would call in suspicious activity.

Arlene Doble, a junior speech language pathology major, said she thinks suspicious activity is when someone poses a threat or seems at high risk for crime.

“I would not call it (suspicious activity) in because I might be wrong and I don’t like to judge people,” Doble said.

On Indiana State campus there are also blue emergency lights throughout

campus. If an emergency arises, students can press the emergency button for help.

This will dial dispatch as if the number had been dialed. This should only be used if a student feels threatened or an emergency exists.

If a student is not sure if there is an emergency or if they are just lost and need help finding a building on campus, they can press the information button.

Newport also advises students to travel with others, especially at night.

“To be safe I keep my phone on me and I don’t walk alone during late hours,” Doble said.

“Be smart as we finish up the semester,” Newport said. “Keep common sense and close out the semester safely and without problems.”

ISU bike patrol will help train two Chicago universities Morgan Gallas Reporter The Indiana State Police Department will travel to Chicago over the summer to train other departments on bike patrol.

The University of Chicago and the University of Illinois at Chicago have both asked ISU PD to train their campus officers how to patrol on bikes.

Joseph Newport, chief of police at Indiana State, has worked with universities in Chicago before because of ISU PD’s bike program.

“This is the third year we are going back to the University of Chicago to teach and to train their bike patrol officers,” Newport said. “University of Chicago pays for the whole thing so we can go up north and train their group to be proficient on bicycles.”

The University of Illinois at Chicago has also requested the department’s help in training officers.

“This year, University of Illinois at Chicago has asked us to train their group as well,” Newport said. “Sometime this summer, our officers are going to the Chicago area to train their officers.”

The two universities in Chicago contacted ISU PD to train them because the department’s program is thorough and successful.

Lt. Dave Smith, an officer at the ISU police department, leads the bike program.

“The bike program is a certified program through the International Police and Mountain Bike Association (IPMBA),” Smith said. “We’ve had this bike program here with our department since 1999, and it’s grown ever since.”

Smith said the course is extensive. “(Training) is a 40-hour course,” Smith said. “Everybody has to go through a book, which has a written test that they have to complete and pass, and they also have a riding skills (test) they have to do.

It’s also a pass-fail test. (They learn) how to ride into crowds, how to go up stairs and down stairs.”

At the end of the training, these officers must pass a written and riding skills test. Once the officers pass the course, they become a part of the bicycle force on that campus.

ISU’s bike patrol and training course

has been successful for several reasons.

The Indiana State University Police Department recently purchased new bikes for patrol in order to increase visibility on campus.

Several years ago, the ISU PD went through a grant process so that they could upgrade their bicycle patrol. They have since been purchasing a little bit at a time and now have a full team of bikes, Newport said.

“Last fall, the university wanted us to upgrade our bike program so that we have more officers out of the cars and on the bikes patrolling campus,” Newport said. “They allowed us to purchase nine new police bikes.”

The department’s new bikes are slightly different from the old ones.

“The old bikes were Cannondales,” Smith said. “They’re full suspension, 26inch tires and we’ve had them since 1999 so they’re pretty worn out.”

The department wanted to stay with American-made bicycles, but since Cannondales are no longer made in America, they went with Giants, which have 27inch tires, full suspension and the newest

technology. “(The new bikes) are stronger, more durable and agile,” Newport said. “Just like motor vehicles, bikes wear out. From comments back from officers, these bikes are superior to the old ones.”

Bike patrol is becoming more popular with police departments, which is what spurred the partnership between ISU and the two schools near Chicago. “(University of Illinois at Chicago) is implementing a bike program with their department this year,” Smith said. “We will go up there and teach them the same things we teach our guys here. We teach the whole course to them.”

John W. Richardson and Marlon C. Lynch are the police chiefs for University of Illinois at Chicago and University of Chicago, respectively.

“Both of the chiefs used to work for our department,” Smith said. “They started off as students. Then we had this (bicycle) program going, and they both liked it. They know how we operate and how the program is successful. They invited us up to teach their guys how to patrol on bikes.”

Moderation with anything is always key Knowing when to stop doing something will make you happier After my previous article was published, some people have come up to me and felt clarification was necessary.

Was I saying we should all be like Spock and deny our passions?

Are we supposed to avoid things we like?

Obviously, that’s not Columnist what I meant; a complete reading of the whole column can reassure anyone of that fact.

My point, if anything, is that old saying, “moderation is key.” It’s not a matter of limiting yourself, so much as knowing that obsessively doing anything is not healthy.

I feel that our generation could stand to be more moderate in its consumption of all things, especially when it comes to actual consumption.

It’s no secret that obesity rates have steadily risen over the years. The next generation actually has a lower rate of obesity, but they are only under three years old. Who knows how it’s going to be when they get older and begin to control their own food intake?

Meanwhile, rates of alcoholism are

Jake Porter

down in Generation Y folk. However, binge drinking is at an all-time high, and that’s what concerns me. Bingeing extremes are the great evil of our generation.

People don’t watch an episode a week anymore. We gorge ourselves on an entire season in one sitting or we don’t watch TV period.

We don’t play an hour of video games; we spend all day grinding levels or we avoid electronics altogether.

We don’t have a snack consisting of a candy bar; we eat a whole bag of jellybeans or we don’t “do” candy. The worst, however, is alcohol and other mind-altering substances.

I have many people in my life who seem to be incapable of comprehending the concept of limiting themselves. Their understanding of “limiting yourself ” when drinking is “stop when you’re about to black out.”

A cousin of mine refuses to drink at all, not because of health problems or because he’s an alcoholic. In fact, he has only had alcohol six or seven times in his

whole life, but when he did, he drank to the point of vomiting everywhere and remembering nothing of that particular night.

I mentioned that maybe he should consider drinking only one or two mixed drinks instead of a whole bottle or more of hard liquor. He looked at me like I was speaking in tongues.

Look inward at your social groups. I guarantee you have at least one person like that; you might even be that person. This is one of the genuine perceptions and stereotypes of Americans.

Ask some foreign exchange students or take a LLL class about global cultures. Americans are continually seen as one of three things: loud speakers, big spenders and unable to only have one drink.

Our use of other “recreationals” isn’t much better.

I have known very few stoners who are willing to use a one-hitter once and be done; rather, they burn through their whole stash in one night.

What’s the alternative our generation

I have many people in my life who seem to be incapable of comprehending the concept of limiting themselves.

— and admittedly our elders who helped raise us to think this — has come up with? Apparently, abstinence — either you binge whatever you’re doing or you don’t do it whatsoever. Because we aren’t creatures with the capacity to reason and life is all black and white.

Life must be colorless and bland without temptation, or we must rival Roman nobility without our hedonistic opulence and excess. There is no inbetween, apparently.

If anyone brings this up to us and calls us immature, we’ll blame it on our age and being in college. Never mind that all age groups in this country seem to be acting like this these days. After all, this adolescent behavior isn’t necessarily classified as addiction, so clearly it’s ok.

Sarcasm aside, you can have just one glass of wine or one beer with a meal and that be it.

You can take one hit and have a slight buzz to take the edge off. You can play just one hour of games or watch one episode to unwind after a bad day. After all, that’s what the rest of the world is doing.

I know, it’s hard saying no to yourself when it’s right there and there’s no one to tell you otherwise. But that’s part of being a responsible adult, and you’ll be happier in the long run.

Facebook is making us depressed, studies say You’re sitting in the hallway waiting for classes. There’s no homework, nothing urgent to study for. For a little bit you get to just relax.

Some of us will read a book or play a game.

Others will get food because, you know, when are we going to eat?

Columnist else But a lot of us will get on our computers and pull up some social media website, be it Tumblr, Instagram, Facebook or something else. But did you know that studies show using social media sites like Facebook can actually cause depression?

First let’s think of the irony of the situation. A website used to connect with your friends and family is a reason

Zachery Davis

for depression. Studies show that approximately 25 percent of Facebook users suffer from some sort of depression.

How does it cause depressive symptoms, though? There have been several ideas tossed around.

One possibility is that seeing your friends happy forces you to compare yourself with them, causing you to feel bad about yourself. Some studies say seeing posts with the word ‘depression’ in them greatly increase the chances of ending up with a depressive disorder, especially if they are seen every day.

Why do we want to expose ourselves to such chances of ending up with something like depression?

We know how much of a problem depression can be. Depression has mental effects that can cause physical problems as well, feeding into illness. It can cause reduced energy, soreness and sometimes even respiratory issues. Often we brush

it off as a mindset, something people can just change. Just like someone who has the flu, that isn’t the way to get better.

Our advances in the world are causing us to become depressed. The very thing we do daily is the source of the problem.

So why do we keep doing it as often?

The answer is simple: addiction.

Facebook is extremely addictive, especially with the way it’s rammed down our throats with many places using it for advertising and offering extreme deals.

This is reminiscent of the days when cigarettes were advertised on children’s channels and in magazines. After they were proven to have such negative effects on the body, it became illegal to advertise the way they did.

Everyone was encouraged to cut back and maybe even quit. But when it comes to Facebook, for some reason we just let people do exactly the thing causing the problem. We don’t tell them to stop or

cut back.

It’s become time to cut back. We don’t need to be on social media all the time in order to be happy. It could even ruin us, causing depression and making us feel bad about ourselves. What if we started treating Facebook like cigarettes?

Encourage people to reduce usage.

It’s not necessary that we completely stop using Facebook, but at the very least we have to encourage less usage.

Facebook is okay in moderation, and less use would mean decreased instances of depression due to social media. But instead we are sitting idly by and letting it be used more and more every day.

We even let young children use it. Is that really okay? Should we be encouraging this?

No. We shouldn’t expose our children to this. We shouldn’t expose ourselves to this. We need to use Facebook less often and help fight the depression it causes.

Canada’s proposed balanced budget a goal for some Americans Fiscal responsibility is on everyone’s minds these days as the onslaught of election rhetoric starts hitting the fan.

We hear time and time again that this person or that person will solve all the problems in Washington, Europe or Canada.

Yet, none of us see any Columnist real change being done anywhere, and with a national debt of $18 trillion we need to do something different. We might be in luck because the first nation to tackle this issue is Canada.

The nation to the north has become one of the first to take on the issue of fiscal responsibility by finally proposing a bill to make a balanced budget. What does this mean? A balanced budget means that a country cannot spend more than it has made.

This means you actually have to

T.C. Wampler

manage money like you know what you are doing and not printing more every year to help pay your promises.

A balanced budget allows the country to do several different things, and most of them deal with providing more for their citizens.

By not spending money on paying interest it becomes very easy for the government to make investments on projects that will build jobs and help improve the economy.

Now the question is just what the plan for Canada really is.

If the Canadian House of Commons and Senate were to pass this bill it would require drastic changes to the way money is managed and may not make many officials happy.

It would require a freeze on wages for the officials in office along with an extensive plan about the costs and costcutting steps that will be taken to rein in their spending.

The bill will also not allow a budget deficit — spending more than you have — unless it is times of great need such as

war or natural disaster.

Now what in the world does this have to do with us and our country?

Well it’s finally time for a presidential election, a year and half early, and that means political platforms and new ideas. One of the most prominent forces coming out this month was Rand Paul, the son of Ron Paul. Rand Paul is a Republican Senator from Kentucky and is looking to make a play for the coveted oval office.

Paul has proposed radical changes to the “Washington machine” that has taken hold of our country and created a system in which people no longer get what is owed to them.

He stands firm on this platform that radical change is not only needed from the politicians in Washington but from the people as well. One of those changes is the need for a balanced budget, which could throw our entire system into shock.

For the past 60 years, the United States has been running a balance deficit, and we have been printing more money

every year to help pay for the things we need to pay for.

Finally, we are presented with a chance to see a developed country place a balanced budget into law and see how it works. This will be a pivotal time in our history to see if Rand Paul’s plan could actually work.

The amendment to the Constitution, as he proposes, would have multiple steps to his policies.

His multi-stage plan is to ensure that our money stays with us and not in the hand of the government.

If you know anything about the government, you know that they need money to operate and if they take less taxes they will not have enough to do minor things. There are several more details to his plan that he has tried to pass in Detroit back in 2013 and was shot down.

If a city is not able to accept such radical changes then how is the entirety of the United States going to accept it?

For now we have to wait and see what happens.

Sycamores show pride through Donaghy Day

Adler Ingalsbe Reporter

Indiana State University’s Spring Week came to an end on Saturday. The week was full of several events that featured dancing, food, races and Battleship.

While all of these events brought the students and staff of Indiana State together for some enjoyable days and nights, another event took place on Friday that brings ISU a lot of pride.

Donaghy Day was held on Friday from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. as a part of the annual Spring Week. It got students out and about on ISU’s campus and in the Terre Haute community to help out and participate in community service.

Jessica Starr, Donaghy Day coordinator, said the day is named after a former professor and gives students and staff at ISU the opportunity to make the campus and city look a lot better while also enjoying the spring weather.

“Donaghy Day is a day of service set aside for the ISU community to celebrate the season and to work to help beautify the campus and surrounding community. It is named after Fred Donaghy who was a graduate of the Normal School and a professor of Life Sciences,” Starr said.

“It’s an opportunity for students, faculty and staff to give back to the community.”

Heather Miklozek, engagement director for Community Engagement and Experiential Learning, said Donaghy Day is simply a day for Indiana State students and faculty to go out and help out by participating in one day of community service. “(Donaghy Day is) a day of service for ISU faculty, staff and students, (where)

Students were able to participate in this year’s Spring Donaghy Day with projects ranging from planting flowers to cleaning up to other tasks around the Terre Haute and Indiana State University community (Photos by Kristi Sanders).

ISU community members provide support and service to Wabash Valley community partners,” she said.

ISU partners with over 30 different non-profit organizations, as well as work around campus, to make Donaghy Day one of the biggest community service days of the year, which is something Indiana State has been known for in the past.

Starr said students and faculty members have a variety of things that they can sign up to do in order to help out the campus or community in some way.

“Students, faculty and staff sign up for service projects both on campus and with some of our community partners.

Projects range from planting flowers and trees on campus to (other tasks in the

community),” Starr said.

A wide range of members of the Sycamore community turned out for the day of service and obtained the gratification of knowing that they did a good deed by helping out their local campus and community. “(The number of) students ranges from 100 to 400. (The) students receive the satisfaction of helping their community,” Starr said. “Some students count their service hours for some of their classes.”

One of the students who participated in the event was Todd Butler, a member of the Theta Chi fraternity. He said he enjoyed the day and was very pleased to help out the local community.

“Having the opportunity to give back

helps provide a positive feeling to not only myself, but also to the community,” Butler said.

Starr said Donaghy Day is held in the spring as well as the fall for the incoming freshman to get acclimated with the campus and city, while always making a positive impact before they start their time as Sycamores.

“Typically, Fall Donaghy Day is the Monday before classes start in August and is only for incoming freshman students. Spring Donaghy Day is usually in April on the Friday of Spring Week,” she said.

For more information on Donaghy Day and how to sign up to participate in next year’s events, visit Indiana State University’s website.

Coachella fashion calls for eclectic bohemian style

Matthew Keith Columnist It’s springtime, which means that festival time is here. All across America there are tons of music festivals that are bringing in new and old artists. For many of us, going to these festivals is a dream — however, ticket prices can be a nightmare.

The festival that is going on right now

is Coachella — a bohemian music festival that lasts for three days. If you’re one of the lucky ducks who gets to go, then I applaud you. But if you’re staying at home or in the dorms there’s still a way for you to make it feel like you’re at the event. For the past few years Coachella has been a place that people look to for summer fashion.

Many of the people who come to

Coachella have this eclectic mix of vintage boho with a modern twist, and lucky for us the stores have paid attention and have made it easier to get these looks.

For inspiration on this style the perfect people to look for are Vanessa Hudgens and her boyfriend Austin Butler.

You may know Hudgens from the Disney channel movie that controlled our adolescence — “High School Musical.”

So if you idolized her in the past you are going to love her now. Hudgens has been a star at Coachella for the past couple of years and not because of performing but because of her outfits. She has set many trends for the past couple of years and continues to do so.

FIT for the Future conference inspires women Kayetlin Shady Reporter Indiana State University’s student organization Females in Technology held a conference over the weekend to help get more area women interested in science and technology careers and majors.

FIT for the Future, which took place Saturday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., invited Indiana high school and college women with undetermined majors to come to ISU and learn about technology majors offered.

Kassandra Smith, a junior mechanical engineering technology major, said she felt that the conference was a great opportunity for all students.

“The conference was meant to give students an opportunity to be creative and build things and that it’s not just dirty work,” Smith said. “We are changing perspectives about STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) careers along with designs and just allowing students to learn new things.”

The FIT for the Future conference was aimed at getting young women interested in technology careers, which Smith said she thought was important.

“We have women here telling students why we chose our specific major in the field of technology and how we got into it,” Smith said. “The event is really structured to empower females and young women (by) showing them that they can do this as a career because the field really does need women.”

The day included fun events for students such as “Junk in Your Trunk,” which taught attendees about engineering and prototypes of simple machines.

Students also had a workshop where they were able to focus on interior design. Another event included light painting, where students used a long camera COACHELLA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6

Alyson Chaney, a student from South Vermillion High School, said she attended the conference to explore job options “I learned about different opportunities and that one career option can lead to several other career options,” Chaney said. “I learned that you can travel a lot in this field if you want to and that interested me. I also met a lot of new people (who) are in different job careers that have inspired me more to look into what I am going to do with my own career.”

FIT for the Future also had multiple professional women who came and

spent the day with students. The professionals gave students considering a career in technology an inside look at the different careers available and the difficulties they’ve overcome as women in STEM fields.

Azizi Arrington-Bey, an assistant professor of interior architecture design at ISU, said she thought the event did a good job getting young women interested in technology.

“There is always a lack of women in this workforce so it is good to let younger students know that careers in technology and STEM (fields) are an option and (FIT for the Future) allows them to get

a little bit of everything,” Arrington-Bey said.

She said that seeing professional women who have already made it in STEM fields can give younger women a confidence boost.

“It is exciting that these students have the opportunity to learn and interact with professionals who are actually working in the fields or have worked in the fields giving them encouragement,” Arrington-Bey said. “Sometimes it can be challenging but confidence is the main key to being successful as a woman in any workforce, and I believe that (FIT for the Future) really encourages that.”

If you want to get this look, beading is essential. Many include intricate patterns.

Next you’ll need flowy dresses and kimonos. These items will give you the bohemian feeling that you need. They can come in tribal or paisley patterns, or a solid color will do.

For shoes, go with strappy sandals.

You can find a cheap pair at Target or

H&M. You can also opt for some short boots instead, if you’d like something more sturdy.

For bottoms, your go-tos lace and denim shorts: they’re easy to just throw on and they match with almost anything.

One of the most interesting things that Hudgens does with her Coachella style is the jewelry.

Sometimes she’ll put a bhindi on her forehead. Or she’ll put jewels all across,

outlining her eyebrows.

Another trend is that she likes to layer bangles and necklaces. For cheap accessories, head to your nearest Forever 21. To finish off the look you can add a flower crown or a billowy hat to add a bit of drama.

I hope this helps you if you want to embody the spirit of Coachella whether you’re at home watching a live feed of it or are actually at the event.

ISU Athletic Media Relations Junior Kelsey Montgomery hit a walk-off RBI ground ball to lead the Sycamores to a doubleheader sweep of Evansville Saturday behind two complete game victories by junior pitcher Taylor Lockwood in the circle.

The Sycamores followed Saturday’s victories up with a third on Sunday for a three-game sweep against Evansville.

Game One Lockwood got the complete game shutout in the first game of the day, striking out six batters, including five in a row, as the Indiana State softball team defeated Evansville 4-0.

The Sycamores got on the scoreboard early as senior Aubre Carpenter reached on a fielding error on a bunt attempt before senior Megan Stone hit an RBI triple, her first of the season, to give the Sycamores a 1-0 lead.

Lockwood showed her dominance in the circle as she struck out the five-through-nine hitters to keep the Sycamores in front.

In the bottom of the fifth the Sycamores struck once again as Montgomery led off the inning with a single and advanced to second on a sacrifice by sophomore Kassie Brown. After a flyout, Carpenter hit an RBI single to score Montgomery and make it 2-0.

The Sycamores then extended their lead in the bottom of the sixth as Stone led off the inning with a solo home run to make it 3-0. Sophomore Brooke Riemenschneider then doubled before advancing to third on a sacrifice by junior Alexa Cavin.

Freshman Abby Klopp then squeezed to score Riemenschneider and make it a 4-0 Sycamore lead.

Lockwood held the Aces scoreless in the seventh as the Sycamores won the first game 4-0 in their first shutout victory

of the season.

Stone finished the game 2-3 with a home run and a triple and two RBIs while Lockwood pitched a complete game allowing just five hits while striking out six.

Game Two The Sycamores won the second game of the day in thrilling fashion as Montgomery hit a walk-off RBI ground ball to third base to score Brown and give ISU a 2-1 victory to sweep the doubleheader.

Stone got the Sycamores on the board in the bottom of the second inning as she launched her second home run of the day to give Indiana State a 1-0 lead.

Lockwood kept the Aces in check for the majority of the game before Evansville scored its first run of the day in the top of the sixth to tie things up 1-1.

The Sycamores had oppor-

tunities in the sixth to take the lead, putting runners at first and second but the game remained tied heading to the bottom of the seventh.

After a foul out, Brown hit a bunt single before moving to third on a single up the middle by sophomore Erika Crissman who went to second on the throw. Montgomery then hit a ground ball to third base as Brown was safe at home to give the Sycamores the 2-1 walk-off victory.

Lockwood pitched her second complete game of the day, allowing just three hits. On the day, Lockwood pitched 14 complete innings, striking out eight while allowing just eight hits and one run.

Game Three Stone hit her third home run of the weekend and Lockwood pitched her third game of the

weekend as the Sycamores swept Evansville with a 7-4 win on Sunday to earn their first MVC series sweep since 2009 and only the third in ISU history.

After only scoring one total run during Saturday’s doubleheader, the Purple Aces got on the board early as they scored two runs, only one earned in the top of the first inning to take a 2-0 lead.

They then extended their lead in the top of the second, scoring one run off two hits to make it 3-0, Evansville.

Lockwood then took over in the circle as she retired the next 11 batters she faced.

The Sycamore offense then began to wake up in the bottom of the third as senior Ashley Dickerson was hit by a pitch, her eighth of the season, before scoring on an RBI single off Carpenter’s bat to cut the lead

to 3-1.

In the bottom of the fourth, junior Kelsey Montgomery hit a one-out single before scoring on a RBI double by Riemenschneider. Klopp then tied the game with an RBI single to score Riemenschneider and make it deadlocked at 3-3.

The Sycamores kept the offensive momentum in the bottom of the fifth when Crissman led off the inning with a double off the wall in center field before advancing to third on a sacrifice

by Carpenter, her NCAA leading 16th of the season.

Stone then put the Sycamores in the lead for good as she crushed her third home run of the weekend over the right center field wall to give ISU a 5-3 advantage, heading to the sixth.

Evansville responded, loading the bases in the top of the sixth with no outs. Klopp entered the circle in relief of Lockwood, who pitched 19 innings on the weekend and needed just four pitches to get out of the inning with the Aces just scoring one run to cut the Sycamore lead to 5-4.

In the bottom of the seventh, the Sycamores picked up a couple insurance runs as they plated two runs off just one hit with three stolen bases to take a 7-4 lead, one they wouldn’t give up.

The sweep of the Aces marks the first three-game Missouri Valley Conference sweep for the Sycamores since the 2009 season, also over Evansville.

It is also just the third time in ISU history the Sycamores have swept a three-game MVC series.

Stone finished the weekend 4-9 with a triple and three home runs with five RBIs while Lockwood pitched 19 complete innings, allowing just four earned runs with a 3-0 record.

The Sycamores will return to action Wednesday when they travel to Chicago to face the Ramblers of Loyola in a Missouri Valley Conference doubleheader.

Salukis slide by Sycamores to capture weekend series

Zach Rainey Reporter

Indiana State baseball picked up a needed Sunday victory, but Southern Illinois captured the rest of the weekend as the Salukis took two of three in a Missouri Valley Conference series at Bob Warn Field.

The Sycamores didn’t get off to the start they were hoping for this weekend against Southern Illinois. Jeff Degano took the mound on Friday in the first of the three-game series.

The Salukis took the lead in the top of the second inning off a leadoff double by Logan Blackfan followed by a single from Taylor Martin to put the Salukis up 1-0 early. The Sycamores responded quickly with a home run by Jacob Hayes to right field to tie the score at 1-1.

Degano was able to cruise through the next two innings to set the stage for the Sycamores to take the lead in the fourth off some Saluki mistakes. Jacob Hayes stole second following a leadoff walk, was able to advance to third off a throwing error by catcher Taylor Martin and finally scored after Saluki centerfielder Dyllin Mucha botched the overthrow to make the score 2-1.

The Sycamores were able to tack on another run in the fifth thanks to more Saluki throwing errors. Landon Curry singled and was able to move up to second off a throwing error from shortstop Chase Slone. Derek Hannahs followed that up with a single to bring in Curry to extend the lead to 3-1. The Salukis were able to get one back the next half inning off of a triple by Parker Osborne, driving in Ryan Sabo who had singled earlier in the inning, cutting the deficit in half.

All was quiet for both sides until the top of the eighth inning. The Salukis started the inning off with four straight singles, including an RBI single by Osborne. Slone drove in another run off of a sacrifice fly to center and another run was scored off a Will Farmer single to make the score 5-3, and that’s how it stayed.

Colten Selvey came in for the Salukis and was able to retire the Sycamores in the ninth to pick up the save.

Things didn’t get much better for the Sycamores in the second game of the series on Saturday. The Salukis scored two in the top of the first off a leadoff walk, a throwing error by Andy Young, and a single to make the score 1-0. The Sa-

lukis weren’t done that inning, as Nick Hutchins singled as well to bring home Farmer, the batter who had reached off Young’s throwing error, to increase the lead to 2-0.

The Sycamores fought back in the bottom of the fourth, where they were able to push three runs across thanks in large part to Hannahs’ two-run single following Taylor Steen bringing Brian Romero home after his leadoff single. ISU led 3-2.

The lead didn’t stay with Indiana State for very long as the Salukis pushed three runs across in the top of the sixth and were able to add an insurance run in the seventh off a solo home run to put the Salukis back on top 6-3.

The Sycamores were able to get one back in the home half of the eighth.

Andy DeJesus doubled and scored off a Hannahs single to make the score 6-4.

The next inning, the Salukis were able to get the run back off a double by Hutchins who later came around to score off an Osborne single to keep the Salukis

ahead for good, 7-4. ISU went quiet in the ninth, giving the victory to the Salukis.

Indiana State sought vengeance after giving up the lead in the first two games against the Salukis. Landon Curry led off the game with a base hit up the middle.

Following a Hannahs fly out, Hayes homered to right-center to put the Sycamores out to an early 2-0 lead.

The Sycamores were able to tack on another run in the second due to some control problems by Kyle Pruemer. He retired the first batter of the inning before giving up a base hit to DeJesus who advanced to second off a balk by Pruemer. Pruemer proceeded to walk the next three batters which brought DeJesus in to score. Pruemer was able to escape further damage from the bases-loadedwith-one-out situation by striking out Hannahs and getting Hayes to ground out. The score after two was 3-0.

After four scoreless innings from Sycamore starting pitcher Ethan Larrison,

ISU was able to add two more runs in the bottom of the fourth. DeJesus walked to lead off the inning and scored off a throwing error by Slone trying to throw out Steen at first. Steen was able to advance to third after the throw ran along the fence on the first base side. He later went on to score after Connor McClain drove him in with a sacrifice fly to right to increase the Sycamore lead to 5-0 after four.

The Salukis got a run back in the seventh and another in the eighth, but the Sycamores were able to counter by scoring a run of their own in the eighth off a Curry double that drove in DeJesus, making the score 6-2.

Austin Conway picked up his third save of the season after pitching a scoreless ninth inning, improving the Sycamores’ record to 14-19 on the season.

Next, the Sycamores will host the Indiana Hoosiers on Tuesday night at 6:30 before heading to Texas for a weekend series against Dallas Baptist.

Sycamore track and field posts second-place finishes The Indiana State track and field team posted strong performances as each squad finished in second place at the Husker Spring Invite on Saturday on the campus of the University of Nebraska.

The women finished with a combined 113.5 points behind Nebraska who scored 234. The Sycamore men finished with 108 team points behind the Huskers 258.5.

“I was pleased with how our student-athletes competed today; we were a little shorthanded but overall did a nice job,” Indiana State men’s head coach John McNichols said. “We swept the distance races and had a great race by Adarius in the 110 hurdles with a great time. I thought some other great performances were

by Devyn Mikell in the long jump, Tristan Parmley in the 200 and Jaynard Keys had a great day as well.”

Freshman Taylor Austin won the 3,000-meter steeplechase to kick things off on the track for the Sycamores, setting a new school record with a 10:47.09, which edged out Kalli Dalton’s record of 10:47.31 from 2012.

Sophomores Logan Hambrock and Daniel Swem went 1-2 in the men’s 3,000-meter steeplechase.

Hambrock’s winning time clocked in at 9:37 while Swem set a personal best with a time of 9:45.56 as he shattered his old record by 15 seconds.

The Sycamores swept the 1,500-meter with sophomore David Timlin winning the men’s race with a time of 3:50.78 and freshman Jessi Conely topping the women’s race with a 4:38.33.

The 4x100-meter relay team of Alethia Marrero, Chidera Obasih, Demtra Camble and Katie Wise finished first with a time of 45.25.

Tristan Parmley and Marcus Neely finished in third place with a time of 41.48.

“For Taylor to set a new school record in her first time racing the 3,000-meter steeplechase is pretty incredible,” women’s head coach Angie Martin said. “I thought the team overall stepped up to the level of competition at the meet as Nebraska is a tough school, and we got to see some early conference competition in Northern Iowa. Our relays did a really great job as we worked on some exchanges in the 4x100 and ran a fast time for being this early in the season.”

Running unattached, Sycamore alum Greggmar Swift won the 110-meter hurdles at 13.62 with Adarius Washington coming in fifth with a 13.97,

which secures a mark that will qualify him for the NCAA East preliminary regionals.

Sophomore Daley Carter also finished sixth in the 110-meter hurdles.

Junior Katie Wise won the 100-meter and finished in front of all collegiate competitors in the 200-meter dash Sophomore Alethia Marrero also won the 800-meter run with a time of 2:09.45. Senior Carmelia Stewart posted a third-place finish in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 13.7.

The Sycamore women also raced to victory in the 4x400meter with the team of Obasih, Newsome, Chidera Jackson and Marrero with a time of 3:44.54.

The men’s 4x400-meter squad of Dowdell, Jackson, McGee

and Rigoni finished a narrow second in the final race of the day with a 3:19.48, behind North Dakota State’s 3:19.43.

Redshirt freshman Jaynard Keys finished in seventh in the 200-meter dash with a 21.64 while Parmley was ninth with a time of 21.92.

Senior Tristan Selby set took the top spot in the 3,000-meter with a time of 8:30.1 while sophomore Levi Taylor finished just behind him at 8:31.5. Junior Nicole Lucas finished behind South Dakota’s Amber Eichorn in the 3,000-meter at 9:55.38.

Sophomore DeSean Prentice posted a runner-up finish in high jump with a leap of 6-08.25. Senior Justin Applegate finished fourth in the hammer throw with a toss of 185-09.

Freshman Whitney Walker put up a fourth-place finish in shot put with a throw of 49-03.50 and was seventh in javelin throwing 118-07.

Junior Kimyanna Rudolph posted one of her best finishes in her collegiate career in the pole vault, leaping 13-03.75 for a second-place finish.

In the men’s long jump, sophomore Devyn Mikell finished fifth with a 23-08.00 and freshman Jamie Newsom seventh on the women’s side with a leap of 18-08.50.
