The Indiana Statesman was founded May 16, 1929, the same year that Indiana State Normal School became Indiana State Teachers College. The newspaper began in December 1879 as the State Normal News. In November 1895, the paper was first issued as the Normal Advance. Members of the ISU community are welcome to take a single copy of each issue of this newspaper. The unauthorized taking of multiple copies, however, may constitute theft, which is a crime, even with free publications. Thefts will be reported to campus police for possible prosecution and/or for other disciplinary actions. The Indiana Statesman exists for four main reasons: to provide the ISU community with news and information, to serve the campus as a public forum for student and reader comments, to offer student staff members chances to apply their skills in different aspects of a news publication, and to give students leadership opportunities.

ISU revises course registration in hopes to improve retention Nick Hedrick Reporter
Indiana State University officials hope revising this month’s priority course registration schedule helps improve fall student retention. Current freshmen will be able to register for fall classes beginning Monday, a week earlier than originally planned. The registration window opened Wednesday for current sophomores instead of next Monday. Registration periods for juniors, seniors and graduate students still began Monday and April 2, respectively, as originally scheduled. While students can register for classes after a semester has begun, Associate Vice President for Student Success Jennifer Schriver said students who haven’t scheduled fall classes before summer break are less likely to return in August. “We also know that students who delay registration have more difficulty building a schedule that will keep them on track for a timely graduation,” Schriver said. A group of retention consultants from the American Association of Collegiate
Registrars and Admissions Officers recommended ISU shorten the priority windows for students to allow university officials more time to determine how many freshmen have not planned their fall semesters of sophomore year, Schriver said. Schriver said the university would spend the month making phone calls and sending emails and text messages to students emphasizing the importance of timely registration. She said the consultants spent about four days on campus over the course of two weeks and made no other recommendations. The university expects a full report from the association in the coming weeks. The retention rate of first-year freshmen enrolled in 2010 fell 12.33 percent since 2002, according to an Indiana Statesman story published last week about student retention. The number fell 5.8 percent in one year between students enrolled in 2009 and 2010. However, this year’s retention rate has increased 4 percent from last year, Schriver told the Statesman last week. The Office of Registration and Records
places neon-colored signs in academic buildings and other locations across campus to remind students as priority scheduling time approaches. Those periods typically last nearly a month. Students are recommended they meet with their assigned academic advisors to ensure they are registered in desired classes at preferred times. “We hope to better understand what drives student registration behavior,” Schriver said. “We know that some students have holds on their accounts, and it can take some time to get those resolved. Some students may also be unsure of their plans for the next year, so they wait to sort that out before registering.” Registration and Records expects changes to the spring and semester 2013 priority scheduling process as well, said registrar April Hay. “At this point, we haven’t defined what that will be, but we will make sure to communicate this in October before priority registration occurs in November,” Hay said.

SyBA offer student discount opportunities through Sycamore Big Deal$
Tammy Roades Reporter
Chavas Mexican Grill’s general manager Shawna Smith feels that more students are aware of the student discount opportunities through Sycamore Big Deal$ than not. The Sycamore Business Advisors (SyBA) implemented the Sycamore Big Deal$ program to offer marketing assistance with social networks to area businesses through the Indiana Statesman, while offering student discounts from neighboring businesses. SyBA team leader for the Indiana Statesman Fred Majors said the program was created this semester and it has yielded enough positive results that it is expected to continue in future semesters with new members. Sycamore Big Deal$ originally began in the past fall semester as an evaluation and advisement medium by the SyBA students of the Statesman’s advertising potential and new ways to improve their profits. The students last semester advised the Statesman of things they could do to improve their ad sales. “The Statesman offers advertising through print media, online and they also have the capability of advertising through Facebook and Twitter,” Majors said. He said the advisory group continued the evaluation by completing a campus-wide survey to get student feedback regarding local businesses and the demand for student discounts. “We did a survey on campus and found most students are unaware of the student discounts offered by businesses,” Majors said. This is the first semester for
the program and it can only improve after the group faced some difficulty with the Student Union soliciting laws, he said. “We found it is very difficult to get information out to the students,” Majors said. This semester the group has completed many tasks to help progress the program like completing surveys, establishing a logo, adding advertisement posts on the Statesman’s Twitter and Facebook accounts, schedule campus events, distribute coupons and classroom visits for recruitment. Four separate groups of business students made up Sycamores Big Deal$ this semester, The Ballyhoo, Pacesetter’s Sports, J. Gumbo’s Restaurant and the Indiana Statesman. “The Statesman offers advertising through print media, online and they also have the capability of advertising through Facebook and Twitter,” Majors said. Sycamore Big Deal$ offers a variety of advertising plans, print and online, with the Statesman, along with coupon management, outcome analysis and social network account management for businesses. “We recommend consistency with advertising,” Majors said. One example offered to businesses is a two-week ad online, two or three print ads for $350. In addition to the advertisements, Sycamore Big Deal$ offered other marketing perks for free. Among the marketing perks, Sycamore Big Deal$ will hold events on campus with businesses for students like the “Sycamores Gone Wild” event that was held Wednesday evening at Wolf Field. The local businesses that
have already began to utilize Sycamore Big Deal$ include Chavas Mexican Grill, J. Gumbo’s restaurant, The Ballyhoo, Pacesetter’s Sports, Ritter’s Frozen Custard and Mark’s Par 3 Golf Course. “Sycamore Big Deal$ is a way for students and local business owners to connect and build a better relationship with each other,” Majors said. Smith said she felt it was necessary for the restaurant to establish a connection with ISU students. “A lot more students are aware of our deals…students have no idea we offer student discounts,” Smith said. Students can “Like” the Indiana Statesman’s Facebook page to receive coupons from local businesses or they can follow the Statesman on Twitter @ISUstatesman for chances to win prizes from local businesses. Coupons are used to track the success of the program for the advisor group and businesses. “I like the Facebook and Twitter assistance, because it is a good way to reach out to students,” Smith said. Some other businesses that have shown interest with Sycamores Big Deal$ have been Lil’ Pig’s BBQ and Sandwiches and Show-Me’s. Students can send an email to sycamorebigdeals2012@gmail. com to be notified on upcoming deals. Businesses who wish to participate in the Sycamores Big Deal$ may contact Fred Majors at Fmajors@sycamores. indstate.edu. “The next step will probably involve student to student businesses promoting each other,” Majors said.

Letter to the Editor In response to “Secular Student Alliance strengthens in numbers”
Written By Jeff Schaffer Catholic Campus Minister, St. Joe’s Campus Ministry 113 S. 5th St, Terre Haute, IN 47807, 812-232-7011 The April 2nd edition of the ISU Statesman included an article spotlighting the Secular Student Alliance – a group of atheists, agnostics, humanists and secularists dedicated to providing the ISU community with opportunities to gather, share and advance important social and personal issues. As a Catholic Campus Minister serving at ISU through St. Joseph University Parish, the article was of particular interest to me and those I serve. The article precipitated several conversations with both believers and nonbelievers. At the core of those discussions was the proper relationship between the secular and faith communities. I wish to share a few of my reflections on that relationship. First of all, I do believe that the best relationship is one of respect and dialogue. It would be unfortunate and counterproductive to automatically write the other off as shallow and immoral, on the one hand, or superstitious and ignorant on the other. Such a stance toward the other would be particularly out
of place within an academic community that rightly values diversity, honest inquiry and civility. The characterization of religious people believing in an “almighty sky daddy” is as inaccurate as labeling nonbelievers as evil. Both sides can do better. Second, from my perspective as a leader in the religious community, I think people of faith can benefit from a relationship with the secular community, even when we strongly disagree on certain issues. In a recent article in the March 26th issue of America by Drew Christiansen, SJ, I was reminded of something that the Catholic Church has said on this topic: “Indeed the Church admits she has greatly profited and still profits from the antagonism of those who oppose or persecute her” (Pastoral Constitution on the Church in the Modern World, No 44). And what is the profit? Sometimes that antagonism is justified and can help purify religion from hypocrisy and lethargy. Pope Benedict puts it this way: “Agnostics who are constantly exercised by the question of God, those who long for a pure heart but suffer on account of our sin… are closer to the Kingdom of God than believers whose life of faith is ’routine’ and who regard the Church merely as an institution, without
letting their hearts be touched by faith” (as quoted by Christiansen). I also think that the secular community can likewise benefit from a relationship with the religious community. After all, both communities share a common goal: each is seeking truth and aspire to live a noble, worthy life. Even if a person doesn’t “buy into” the existence of God or a particular belief system, that person may still benefit from the wisdom born of millennia of reflection on the nature of humanity and the real-world application of love, charity and justice. In reflecting on the relationship between the religious and secular communities, I am reminded that during the Crusades, St. Francis of Assisi dared to go behind “enemy lines” in an attempt to stop hostilities. St. Francis met with the Sultan Malik al-Kamil and over the course of several weeks engaged in a respectful and honest dialogue. Both men concluded their conversation with a profound respect and even friendship for one another even though both remained firm in their particular faith. Why shouldn’t the religious and secular communities take a similar approach? Both have much to gain.
Statesman editorial Paraskevidekatriaphobia. Are you scared yet? Alright, smarty pants. Some of you may have already known that that big word up there is defined as the fear of Friday the thirteenth. Some of you might have known because you are currently in a bunker waiting for today to pass. Today, the Statesman would like to take a minute to consider Friday the thirteenth. Is the day associated with the most superstition really unlucky? An article published earlier this year on About. com references a 1993 study in the British Medical Journal “Is Friday the thirteenth Bad for Your Health?” in which the authors compared the rate of automobile accidents on a normal Friday and on a Friday the thirteenth over a period of years. Their

findings were that, in the region sampled, fewer people drove their cars on Friday the thirteenth while there were more accidents on those days compared to regular Fridays. Whether you subscribe to theories of apocalypse or not, many people believe 2012 is a very unlucky year. For the first time in many years, 2012 is packed with three Friday the thirteenths occurring in January, April and July—with exactly 13 weeks in between the three. So why is the day unlucky? According to the About.com article, no one really knows. There are a slew reasons why the number thirteen is unlucky and why Fridays may be unlucky but no real reasons

as to why the day strikes fear in to millions across the globe. Are people concerned with ancient Norse mythology? Roman mythology? If so, why didn’t our society hold on to Egyptian and Chinese worship of the number 13? Where do the legends come from? The article states that some attribute the first literary mention of Friday the thirteenth came in a novel published in 1907. Can the lack of folklore even leave the day with the title of urban legend? As many scientists have tried to prove or disprove, the spooks of Friday the thirteenth are probably all in our head. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t be careful. Never underestimate the power of imagination.

Rowlings’ adult novel “too good to be true?”
When vigilantes turn against the helpless
Amber Jones Well Read
Tiffany Freeman Public Domain
J.K. Rowling has finally made the announcement that those of us in the anti-Twilight camp have been waiting for since 2007. Five years after the end of the Harry Potter series, Rowling has put out word that her first adultaimed novel will be released by September of this year. The novel, The Casual Vacancy, is set in a small town in England and focuses on the fight for a political seat after a popular man in town dies. The book is looking to be near 500 pages long. This is the first thing she has produced outside of the magical realm, which may either help or hurt her book sales. On the downside, her readers loved her for the world of Harry Potter and the excitement of the story, so the sudden shift to political fiction in a small town is definitely an entire shift of perspective. The die-hard Potter fans might appreciate the author’s name attached to the bottom of the book, but need to be aware that it is not going to be similar to the childhood legacy at all. Other authors of children’s books have tried to switch to adult literature, or have come from adult lit to children, and many have a very difficult time making the transition to (or back to) the realm of adults. Sales are usually not very good, and the children’s literature genre usually just keeps them writing for six-year-olds for all eternity. In Jo’s case, however, she might have the upper hand once September rolls around. She completely changed the game of youth literature (yes, it is true: without Potter there would have been no opening for Twilight. Fame is a double-edged sword). Her series is one of the most popular series in
history, meaning everyone knows her name and will recognize it once the book is on shelves. The other factor that most seem to forget: if a kid read the last Harry Potter book when they were twelve, they are now in their last two years of high school or so. Even though her previous novels were aimed at children, her fans are children no longer, and so her market has expanded exponentially. Rowling is also not withholding from the market like she did with the Harry Potter series; the tales of the boy wizard couldn’t be bought for e-readers until within the last year, while Casual Vacancy will be available immediately. As a fan, I’m not sure how I feel about the new book. When a Potter fan thinks of Rowling, they think of the stories that we pretty well grew up reading, or at least seeing on TV. With this new so-called “adventure,” we have the entire town fighting for a political seat. I know that we’re all supposed to be adults, but going from reading about how a young boy dodges danger, makes and keeps friends and destroys the greatest villain of all time – and with magic! – to parents fighting with kids because they want to be in charge of a small town is certainly a downgrade in the story department. It’s like shifting from watching Star Wars or the Lord of the Rings to an early 1900’s French version of Flaubert’s Madame Bovary. Ouch. As much as I liked the Potter series, I’m not so sure how well Rowling’s writing style will adapt to adults. She used a lot of Latin, sure, but she used smaller sentences and simpler dialogue. I’m not convinced that she could write a realistic story with no spells or made-up words to buffer the plot along. Don’t expect to see me with The Casual Vacancy right away. It sounds too good to be true, Rowling writing again, and I want to see how it all plays out before I get let down by reading it. Best of luck to her, though with her new book; hopefully she can prove me wrong.
“Best of luck to her, though with her new book; hopefully she can prove me wrong.”
Ever since a seventeen-year-old kid was shot to death on February 26, 2012, a shocking amount of media time has been dedicated to the Martin vs. Zimmerman case. Trayvon Martin was an African American teenager who was gunned down by George Zimmerman, informal neighborhood watchman of The Retreat at Twin Lakes in Sanford, FL, who claims to be protected by the “Stand Your Ground” law. According to George Zimmerman, and 911 transcripts, Zimmerman thought Martin looked suspicious in his hoodie, walking around the neighborhood in the rain so he phoned the police, on a non-emergency line. The police informed Zimmerman that they had dispatched a unit and that Zimmerman did not need to follow the suspicious boy. Zimmerman said, “Okay,” and agreed to wait for the police by some mailboxes, but then said, “Actually, could you have him call me, and I’ll tell him where I’m at?” and proceeded to follow Martin. Zimmerman’s story claims that Martin confronted Zimmerman, and then began to punch and beat Zimmerman to the ground, threatening to kill him. Zimmerman says that this is when he pulled out his licensed hand gun and shot Trayvon in the chest, out of fear for his life. However, Martin’s girlfriend, whom he was on the phone with until moments before the shooting, said that Trayvon mentioned that he was concerned about a strange man following him. Trayvon’s girlfriend suggested he run (which provoked Zimmerman to follow, thinking his suspicions confirmed). There are contradicting accounts and evidence as to what really happened. The initial police report mentions that Zimmerman was bleeding from the head and nose when they arrived on the scene, but video footage released from the time the police escorted Zimmerman into questioning, seems to show that there was no blood or visible bodily injury to Zimmerman. Some witnesses stated that there was a scuffle, and one man was on top of another before the shot was fired. Other statements say that there was not a struggle or sounds of a fight, but that Zimmerman was seen kneeling over Trayvon’s motionless body when the shot had silenced a “very young voice” whining. Zimmerman was taken into custody and questioned but never charged, either because there
was not enough evidence to lead to a conviction (per the Florida State Attorney’s office), or, some say, because of his family connections. George Zimmerman’s father, Robert Zimmerman, is a retired judge with many connections with the Sanford Police. In fact, many have argued that not only may Ret. Judge Zimmerman have helped “clean up” this manslaughter case of seventeen-year-old Trayvon Martin, but that he has helped sweep other charges on George under the rug as well. In 2005, George Zimmerman had two charges of domestic violence, as well as a charge for resisting and assault on an officer (which is a felony that carries prison time). However, these charges were closed without trial or presenting evidence. Now, other accounts of character have been thrown into the lime light as of late. For instance, there are two sets of photos of Zimmerman and Martin. One set of photos shows Zimmerman’s mug shot from 2005 when he his husky and glaring, where the Trayvon image is of a young and seemingly happy football player. The opposite set of photos show Zimmerman in a suit and smiling like a contributing member of society, where the Martin image showed a hooded and scowling Trayvon flipping the bird to the camera. Further information about Martin’s suspension from school based on marijuana residue in his bag subtracts from the initial characterizations of young Martin. Despite the back and forth of good-guy/bad-guy, a crime has been committed. Who remembers being seventeen? The teenage years (especially the late teenage years) are tumultuous and uncertain, as a kid tries to find his/her way as an adult. Whether Martin confronted Zimmerman or Zimmerman confronted Martin, a kid was shot to death. Zimmerman was told not to follow Martin. Twenty-six-year-old Zimmerman was armed with a hand gun, while Martin was armed with the strength and surliness of a seventeen-year-old male. Even if Martin pummeled Zimmerman to the ground (and accounts are inconsistent), clearly Zimmerman always had the upper hand. He could have smacked Martin with the pistol, or shot him in the leg or anything but shoot a kid point-blank in the chest. Zimmerman could have diffused the supposed situation without killing Martin, first of all, by not being a vigilante. “Stand Your Ground” law or not (which is a public self-dense law), Zimmerman should be arrested for manslaughter, because he gave up his claim to selfdefense when he “aggravated the incident” and went after the suspicious boy.

Students re-make cover videos for Remix Jessica Neff Reporter
Greeks and other students invaded the Hulman Center as Remix, a dance competition where participants copy and perform a music video of their choice, took place Wednesday night. Ten groups exhibited their talents with songs that have been covered by artists other than the original singers. Randi Chelf, junior communication major, helped choreograph the routine for Zeta Tau Alpha and Pi Kappa Alpha. “We came up with the props by looking at the music video. The scenery is set up like a drive-in movie,” Chelf said. “We looked up lots of dances that had something to do with the movie; we used a line dance that we saw on ‘Dancing with the Stars,’ the movie itself and other input.” Meghan Burris, Gamma Phi Beta member, was also very involved in their choreography. Burris said that they chose the song because of its high energy and they wanted something both the guys and girls would like. “We wanted our song to be fun and not too country. It’s upbeat, and we wanted to enhance the ‘cars’ aspect since it was in the movie ‘Cars,’” said sophomore exercise science major and Alpha Sigma Alpha member Emilie Gottsche. Fuson Buick Cadillac and GMC donated the props and shirts for Alpha Sigma Alpha’s performance. “They helped us so much,” Gottsche said. Junior English education major and Sigma Kappa member Chelsea Tarquini wanted a well-known song with a lot of dancing. “It’s easier to enjoy when [the song] is wellknown,” Tarquini said. “We chose our song, ‘Lady Marmalade’ because it was what was left. We tried to class it up since the song is in a movie that is about prostitution,” said senior physical education and health education major and Alpha Omicron Pi member Annie Vassar. “I watched the video, and we made our own moves for the dance.” Amanda Walker, junior nursing major and Alpha Phi member, said that their dance routine was a group idea and that all members contributed. “Our song was the best of the three choices left ,and we copied the music video move for move,” said freshman criminology major and Burford, Pickerl, Candlewood team member Tyler Gramlin. Sarah Helman, sophomore insurance and risk management major and Chi Omega member, said it was hard to find a song with a good music video. “We chose ‘Rich Girl,’ and the girls and boys did their parts and helped, so it was easy for me to pull it altogether,” Helman said. Senior public relations major and Alpha Chi Omega member Lisa Benedict said she loves Brittney Spears and wanted to do a song by her.
Alpha Sigma Alpha and Alpha Tau Omega (above) performed their rendition of Rascal Flatt’s, “Life Is A Highway,” at the Hulman Center during the Remix event for Spring Week (Photo by Kyle Seeley). “We looked up remakes by Spears, and we kept the same style of dance,” Benedict said. “I love to dance; before I go to bed, I watch dance shows and make up moves.” “Our Spring Week representatives came up with the song, and we had to go off the video so most of the moves came from that,” said senior English education major and Delta Gamma member Paige Richards. “We needed filler choreography, but it turned out pretty good.” Nerves, anticipation and confidence were rampant as the performers waited to go on stage. “I’m nervous, and I hope it goes well,” Chelf said. “Everyone looks so good; there are lots of props, and I think the Greek community has stepped it up this year.” Burris agreed with Chelf, adding that she was excited, and that Gamma Phi Beta had a great time working with Tau Kappa Epsilon. “We are a little nervous but mostly excited because [the routine] came together really well with the props, outfits and dance,” Gottsche said. Tarquini felt confident because they had been practicing for a long time and were full of anticipation. “We are also excited to see everyone and think it’s
going to be a strong year with the performances,” she said. Vassar had a bittersweet moment due to the fact that she will be graduating, with this year being her last performance in Alpha Omicron Pi with her sisters. “I feel confident and a little nervous,” she said. “It’s sad to be going alum. I didn’t think it would be this sad, but I will definitely come back for future events.” Walker agreed with the overall nerves and excitement shared with most everyone else. Gramlin said he was ecstatic because he was ready to perform and felt confident with his performance. “I think we put enough effort into [the routine] that we stand a chance in the competition,” he said. “It went really well,” Helman said. “It was a lot of fun and a big adrenaline rush.” Benedict was happy with her performance. She said it felt good and tried not to be repetitive with her moves even though the music video is. Richards said it was stressful but well worth it. The winners of the Remix portion of Spring Week events, along with all other events, will be announced at the upcoming awards ceremony on Sunday.

National Council on Family Relations honors ISU senior Mallory Metheny
ISU Communications and Marketing
The National Council on Family Relations has selected Indiana State University senior Katie Davis to receive recognition as an honor student. Davis, a human development and family studies major from Bedford, was chosen for her contributions to the field of family science in scholarship, leadership and community service. The council is the professional organization for the multidisciplinary understanding of families “It is a great honor to be recognized as an honor student for the National Council on Family Relations,” Davis said. “I am thrilled to be recognized by such a prominent association of professionals that has the same passion and desire as me - to understand and strengthen families.” Davis maintained a 4.0 grade point average and is earning a certificate in nonprofit management through the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance. She has been integral to the Nonprofit Leadership Student Association as the director of annual giving since July 2011 and also serves as a program evaluation specialist for the Wabash Valley Cub Scouts, where she has learned elements of program development and
implementation. “Her initiative in taking on various positions on campus and in the Terre Haute community speaks highly of her commitment to be a leader,” said Linda Behrendt, associate professor of human development and family studies. Currently fulfilling her internship at the March of Dimes, Davis has assumed leadership responsibilities with the agency beyond her course requirements in organizing teams for the annual March for Babies fundraiser. In the last four years, she has volunteered with local affiliates of the United Way, Ronald McDonald House Charities, Special Olympics and Autism Speaks. She has also been a camp counselor and completed 48 hours of service working with the elderly at an assisted living facility. “ISU has provided me with great experience to get involved with my major and the nonprofit certification program through the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance,” Davis said. “I have thoroughly enjoyed learning from my professors and getting involved in the Terre Haute community.” Davis received a stole to wear for graduation, along with a certificate of recognition from the council. She will also be honored at the council’s annual conference in October and plans to become a Certified Family Life Educator within the year.

Student performs senior recital this weekend Joshua Ayala Reporter
This weekend will be an unforgettable memory for senior music education major Nathan Cobel. Nathan will be performing his senior recital Saturday evening at 5 p.m. in the Center of Performing and Fine Arts building. Nathan started playing piano at the age of eight years old. His interest in music progressed from there and he joined the marching band in middle school. Nathan played bells in his middle school concert band in the 7th grade, and joined the marching band in 8th grade where he was part of three ISSMA class D state championships. “It was a transition for me changing from piano to percussion,” Cobel said. In ninth grade, Nathan was diagnosed with social anxiety disorder. Social Anxiety Disorder is the fear of social situations and the interaction with other people that can bring on feelings of selfconsciousness, judgment, evaluation and inferiority. Despite being diagnosed with SAD, Nathan pushed himself to open up and communicate with others. Nathan continued his involvement with music in high school where he took part as a percussion player and got familiar with accompanying soloists on piano. Nathan was also involved with his baseball team, Spanish club and Fellowship of Christian Athletes in high school. “With the academics and band in high school, along with volunteer work at the Life Pregnancy Help Center, getting a job never concerned me,” Cobel said. Nathan is still involved with his high school, as he serves on the staff for their marching band, the Pride of Paoli. “My high school band director Mr. Laughlin has been one of the most inspiring role models for pursuing excellence,” Cobel said. “I thank him, Dr. Simms, Dr. Finnie, the faculty, my family and my friends for their encouragement and support in continuing music, and I wish to credit God for ultimately planning everything.” Nathan came to ISU already knowing the percussion professor Dr. Jimmy Finnie and the piano professor Dr. Beverly Simms. “I auditioned on both piano and percussion,” Cobel said, “I was accepted

He has also covered parts for various other groups such as, “Cramped Spaces” piano and percussion ensemble. Nathan has also taught piano students during the summer and occasionally during the ISU school year. Nathan also provides instrumental accompaniment during worship with ISU’s Christian Student Fellowship, an
organization he is fond of being a part of. “I’ve always struggled to identify myself without God, now that he is in my life, there is no struggle,” Cobel said. “Without God, I would probably be a selfish hermit because God has helped me be outgoing and better behaved.” Nathan has completed the requirements for each of the principle instruments and plans to receive the Bachelor of Science in Music Education in December of 2012, minoring in mathematics. He will begin student teaching the following spring and is currently in contact with Owen Valley High School for prospective practicum placement. Nathan’s career interests lie in holding a position as a middle school orchestra or band director.
For now Nathan’s focus lies on his recital taking place on Saturday night, where he will perform many pieces ranging from Bach to George Gershwin.
“I thank [my high school band director,] Dr. Simms, Dr. Finnie, the faculty and my family and friends for their encouragement and support in continuing music...” Nathan Cobel, senior music education major

Community rallies against sexual assault Aaron Abel
Assistant Features Editor
Several students and members of the community found themselves patiently awaiting a sobering yet empowering rally on sexual assault around the fountain yesterday evening. The fourth annual No One Left Behind Rally, sponsored by CODA (Council on Domestic Abuse), aimed to raise sexual assault awareness within the community. The rally incorporated relevant statistics regarding the prevalence of sexual assault, as well as information related to prevention and coping assistance. Attendants listened to two powerful personal accounts of sexual assault, as well as two second-hand accounts read by students. Director of student publications Rachel Wedding McClelland offered a testimony recounting an experience she had with sexual assault during her freshman year of college. While McClelland emphasized the tragic nature of the life-changing event, she believes that what came afterwards was worse. “I was ashamed, I was fearful of people finding out,” McClelland said. “I was afraid for my future.” Guest speaker and sexual assault survivor Keith Morris also offered his testimony to those in attendance. Morris also related the difficulty in sharing such an experience to others, saying that years passed before he
spoke about it to anyone. “I couldn’t keep it in any longer,” Morris said. “It started eating me up.” Student affairs in higher education graduate student Audrey Cloum assisted in organizing the rally. She emphasized the importance of hearing such first-hand accounts. “Facts and statistics alone are scary enough,” Cloum said, “but a personal story could be about a sister or a brother and it really hits home. It’s something you won’t forget.” CODA executive director Gwen Tucker was given a special thank you for her involvement as well as her organization’s sponsorship. Tucker returned her thanks to the organizers and the ISU community for their support in the cause. “We want to thank everyone here who rallies to ensure that no one person has to deal with sexual assault,” Tucker said. McClelland focused the end of her testimony upon empowering victims, and encouraging them to seek assistance in organizations such as CODA. “I was too scared to look for help,” McClelland said. “Don’t be afraid like I was.” Morris turned his focus upon raising awareness and increasing activism. “If you’re here as an activist I hope you get your voice,” Morris said. “There are far too many being sexually Students recite a pledge to do each one’s part in preventing sexual assault during the No One Left Behind Rally (Photo by Jamie Nicols). assaulted, and there are far too few helping us.”

Derek Johnson Reporter
The Indiana State Sycamores baseball team was defeated 8-7 by the Indiana Hoosiers Wednesday night in walk-off fashion at Sembower Field. Freshman Kyle Rupe got the start for the Sycamores and gave up two runs on three hits in five innings pitched. Senior Jeff Miera led the Sycamores at the plate with three hits while sophomore Tyler Wampler and senior Kyle Burnam added two hits apiece. With the loss, the Sycamore drop to 26-8 on the season, while the Hoosiers improve to 15-18 with the win. The Hoosiers got on board early thanks to two walks and a two-run triple to right-center field given up by Rupe in the bottom half of the first to give the Hoosiers a 2-0 advantage. The Sycamores responded in the top of the
second by scoring three runs and taking a 3-2 lead. Following walks drawn by junior Koby Kraemer and senior Patrick Foster, Miera laid a bunt down the third base line for a base hit to load the bases. Another bunt down the third base line from senior Lucas Hileman was fielded and thrown over the catcher to the backstop, allowing Kraemer and Foster to score Indiana State’s first two runs. Burnam singled to center field on the next pitch to bring Miera home from third to put the Sycamores on top. Wampler doubled down the right field line to bring around Kraemer and senior Jon Hedges to add two more runs in the third. Hileman, who reached on a single and advanced to third on a passed ball, scored in the fourth on a single to center field from Burnam to take a 6-2 lead into the fifth, where each team was held scoreless. The Hoosiers exploded in the sixth with five runs on five hits against four Indiana State pitchers, regaining their lead and taking a 7-6 advantage.
Both teams were held scoreless in the seventh. Despite a rally in the eighth from the Sycamores, the score remained unchanged heading into the ninth. Hedges singled through the left side of the infield to put a runner on for the Sycamores in the top half of the ninth. Hedges was replaced by pinch-runner Jordan Pearson, who advanced to third on a wild pitch. Kraemer tied the game with a double down the third base line before the Hoosiers ended the rally. With one out, a runner on third and the score knotted at eight, the Hoosiers successfully executed a squeeze bunt to bring home the game-winning run. Junior Devin Moore was handed the loss in the bottom of the ninth for the Sycamores. Indiana State will be back in action this weekend when they travel to Peoria, Ill., for a three-game series with the Bradley Braves. Game one is scheduled for 7:00 p.m. on Friday.

Are scholarships enough for student athletes? NCAA athletes train between 20-30 hours a week, and in some cases as much as 40 hours. In nearly every circle of life a commitment that large is considered a full-time job. When this amount of time is balanced with the strenuous workload of all that comes with academics, life can be very busy for a student athlete. There is obviously no time to hold a job, and accepting any extra money is strictly forbidden and punishable by losing amateur status. Now some may say this is how much college students live everyday and that athletes should be happy with their scholarships. To that I would argue there are more necessities to a college student’s life than what is provided on campus. Given the restrictions an athlete faces, there is no way to reasonably provide any extra money for spending. All the while the NCAA is a $6 billion business that makes a huge amount of its profits from revenue sports such as football and basketball. So why not compensate these athletes for their work, or at the very least allow them to attain sponsorships or another way to earn money? Their status as an athlete is the reason that people know their school, the reason that they come to the games, and the reason that people buy the jerseys. Yet they receive no compensation for it because it is against the rules to do so. Numerous times a year the media will run with a case in which an athlete in college is receiving compensation to help benefit themselves or their families and it is considered bad publicity. Why should it be? If an athlete has come from a struggling family and they have the opportunity to help, why shouldn’t they? I believe the NCAA is trying so hard to monitor the distribution of any compensation that they are actually only hurting their own product, and the young adults that make it what it is. They claim to be protecting their amateur status, but why should they be worried about that when some of their coaches are making upwards of several million a season? My solution to this whole situation is allowing the top revenue teams in football and basketball to compensate athletes if they so choose. Sure, that puts other teams at a distinct disadvantage right

away, but like in a real life job, with success come reward. The athletes that are helping the university and the NCAA make millions should see at least some slice of the pie. Athletes should also be allowed to receive a share of the profits from the sales of their jerseys and any memorabilia in their name. Their efforts are what made that product desirable, so why not be compensated for it? I also believe that if a major brand is willing to sponsor an athlete it should be within their rights to do so. Why not have the top collegiate athletes be represented by Nike or Adidas? Who is it really hurting to strip them of their right to promote themselves? As long as these things are on contract and known to the public, they cannot be used against the athlete in a negative way. Non-revenue sports are fine as is, but if individuals or teams ever have the opportunity to be represented or compensated for their efforts the same rules should apply. This is a system long overdue for change and, while flawed, it is likely to never change. As long as the NCAA can claim that the actions it is taking directly correlate to benefiting the athletes, they will keep their system. In turn, the athletes that are responsible for the NCAA’s gains will continue to have their efforts go unrewarded and we will have scandals that can be easily avoided.

ISU softball falls to the Indiana Hoosiers 0-3 Blaine Kinsley
ISU Athletics Media Relations
TERRE HAUTE, Ind.— Despite holding the Hoosiers of Indiana (20-18) scoreless after the first inning, the Indiana State softball team (14-23) fell to the Hoosiers by a final score of 3-0 Wednesday at Price Field. The Hoosiers jumped out to an early lead over the Sycamores in the top of the first inning, scoring three runs, two earned to take a 3-0 lead. In the bottom of the fourth inning the Sycamore offense threatened as freshman Ashley Dickerson led off the inning with a base on balls. Dickerson then advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt off the bat of junior Mackenzie Connelly and third off a groundout by junior Alex Lucas. The Sycamores could not find a way to get Dickerson to score, however, as a strikeout ended the inning. The Sycamores again threatened in the bottom of the seventh as Lucas led off the inning with a walk and then advanced to second and third off groundouts by freshman Megan Bunting and sophomore Alex Baumgart. Freshman Megan Stone then received a base on balls to put runners on the corners for the Sycamores but a strikeout stranded the runners and ended the game 3-0 in favor of the Hoosiers. “I thought Kristen Felker threw very well,” assistant coach
Amanda Zust said. “She had the opportunity to come and start a game and she took advantage of that opportunity.” Despite getting the loss, junior Kristen Felker finished the game allowing just five hits and only three after the first inning. The Sycamores will return to action Saturday when they get back to Missouri Valley Conference play with a three-game series against Bradley University beginning at 11 a.m. All three games of the series are part of the Strikeout Cancer promotion where all fans are encouraged to wear pink to raise cancer awareness.

For sixteen Sycamores across the men’s and women’s track and field team it will be the very last time they will be wearing the uniform and competing at Marks Field. After four years of service to the track and field team many would be looking to finish up their degrees by semester’s end and prepare for their futures. The Indiana State men and women’s track and field will recognize its 2012 senior class on Saturday as they return to Terre Haute to continue their 2012 Outdoor Track and Field season. Sixteen athletes will wear the ISU uniform for the last time at Marks Field. Nine women and seven men will be recognized. Kacie Klem, Patricia Merrion, Tara Perigo, Andrea Prusz, Kaci Smith, Sarah Snapp, Nikki Snearley, Jaquelle Spencer and Kristy Twitchell make up the women’s portion of the senior roster. The men to be honored are Major Clay, Andrew Lepkowski, Craig Padgett, Ernest Rollins, Kevin Selby, Andrew Stull and Jeremiah Vaughn. “Our seniors have been at the center of five MVC Championships, three in a row in cross country and last year’s indoor and outdoor meets, the men’s first sweep,” ISU men’s track and field head coach John McNichols said. “They have made history. Individually these men have helped rewrite our record book.” “Each of these young ladies has contributed to our team both on the track and academically,” ISU women’s track and field head coach Angie Martin said. “They are great examples of student-athletes and role models for young women.” The Sycamores are scheduled to host the Pacesetter Quadrangular on Friday and Saturday at Marks Field. The meet will be a quadrangular with the Sycamores going up against the Saulkis
of Southern Illinois University, the Panthers of the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and the Bulldogs of Butler University. “This is going to be a very competitive scored meet,” ISU head coach Angie Martin, said. “I think everyone on the team is excited to be at home and have the opportunity to compete in front of their family and friends.” The meet is scheduled to begin on Friday at 2 p.m. with the women’s hammer throw and men’s shot put. Track events are scheduled for 5 p.m. with the women’s 3000 meter steeplechase and conclude at 6:10 p.m. Competition will resume on Saturday at 11 a.m. with the women’s discus, men’s pole vault and women’s high jump. Track events are scheduled to begin at 12:30 p.m., with the final event scheduled for 3:50 p.m.
