May receives President’s Medal Libby Roerig

ISU Communications and Marketing

Indiana State University honored seven educators during its annual Faculty Recognition Banquet Thursday. President Dan Bradley presented the President’s Medal — the university’s highest award for faculty — to Cinda May, chair of Special Collections at Indiana State’s Cunningham Memorial Library.

“It is such an honor to be selected as a recipient of the President’s Medal — and totally unexpected,” May said. “To be recognized for my accomplishments and contributions to ISU and librarianship is very gratifying. But I would be remiss not to acknowledge all of the people who have believed in me, encouraged me, and even challenged me throughout my career. Without them I would not have explored the range of my abilities, or plumbed the depths of my resourcefulness. From them I learned resilience, commitment and the importance of being true to oneself. Every day I aspire to pass these lessons on to others, especially students, who are just commencing their life journeys.”

May earned her bachelor’s in

English from the University of New Orleans. She holds three master’s degrees — in English from the University of Texas at Austin, in information and library science from the University of Michigan and in history from Indiana University.

May joined the Indiana State faculty in 2006 as the coordinator of Library Digital Initiatives.

She was appointed to her current role in 2010.

While she has led and planned numerous initiatives, projects and events, May said serving

as project director for Wabash Valley Visions & Voices Digital Memory Project — now in its 12th year — is one of the most rewarding experiences of her career at Indiana State.

“Being the project director of Wabash Valley Visions & Voices

Digital Memory Project has been the most meaningful experience for me,” she said. “With 20-plus community partners across six counties in west central Indiana, the Visions Project has afforded me the opportunity to work with other cultural heritage professionals to document, preserve and provide access to the history and culture of the region. It has also given ISU students interested in pursuing careers in public history or special collections librarianship a chance to directly participate in the collection, creation and management of local history resources.”

Other awards and their recipients were: • Caleb Mills Distinguished Teaching Award: Keri Yousif, professor of French.

• Community-Based Learning and Scholarship Award: Colleen Haas, instructor of African and African American Studies.

• Theodore Dreiser Distinguished Research and Creativity Award: Kevin Bolinskey, associate professor of psychology, Rusty Gonser, professor of biology, and Kit Kincade, professor of English.

• Faculty Distinguished Service Award: Richard Lotspeich, professor of economics.

De-Stress It takes two to tandem Week gives students a break Rob Lafary Sports Editor

April is crunch time for Indiana State students with a mountain of papers, projects and finals study guides providing their fair share of stress and frustrations.

But for at least one week in the month, Student Health Promotion did its part to relieve students of the stress, putting on a successful De-Stress Week this past week on campus. The weeklong event, the first annual for the organization, not only provided students with a much needed break during the day, but also raised awareness for what the organization is all about.

“College is very stressful,” Student Health Promotion office assistant Lindsay Banks said last Thursday afternoon. “It’s getting our office some promotion and letting them (ISU students) know that we are here but also with finals week coming up we understand the students’ want for some kind of break.”

Monday through Friday provided an array of events for students with each day carrying a message. “Knockout Stress” kicked off the week with the basketball game Knockout being used as a way for students to win commons cash while “Sweat Out Stress” and “Mind Over Stress” gave way to both dodgeball in the Arena and mocktails and canvases in the Student Health Promotion office.

The week concluded with the organization’s carnival at Wolf Field, but not before enjoying much success and popularity on Thursday. “Increase Sleep, Decrease Stress” was a message heard loud and clear by students who flocked to HMSU to grab a brand new pillow from the Student Health Promotion staff.

Free pillows were a success last spring when Student Health Promotion held its one-day event in April, but said this year’s giveaway was also used as a chance to make students aware of their sleep habits and how important a few z’s were to their daily life.

“We had around 300 people come and pick up pillows, and we were only there for a couple of hours,” Banks noted of Thursday’s event. “This year we had students answer questions about sleep and stuff like that, and last year we just kind of gave them

Eco-marathon team prepares for competition Sydney Feldhake Reporter

For the first time in university history Indiana State will be sending its Eco-marathon team to compete at the Shell Eco-marathon Americas competition.

The ISU Eco-Marathon team will compete on April 22 through 24 at Detroit in the Prototype class.

This is “one of the very few times that a student group from the College of Technology has competed in a national engineering competition,” Kristina Lawyer, assistant professor of Applied Engineering and Technology Management, said.

While competing the team will be representing various businesses and groups such as:

the ISU Center for Community Engagement, ISU SGA, AIS Gauging of Terre Haute, EDA Engineering of Terre Haute, DBMS Health of Indianapolis and J. Gumbo’s of Terre Haute.

“Approximately half of our budget comes from the College of Technology,” Lawyer said.

“The other half comes from grants and sponsorships that the students and I have acquired.”

Other funds come through membership dues to join the team.

Unlike many other groups, the dues were not originally mandatory. Lawyer said the “team members elected to impose a membership fee on themselves to help fund the team … The team has 23 dues-paying members.”

Lawyer said it was difficult in the beginning to actually get the team started and recruit members.

“Many students are hesitant to join as they don’t see the point in dedicating numerous work hours for which they don’t get course credit,” Lawyer said.

“They don’t realize that they will learn things through Ecomarathon that they won’t learn through classwork.

Even with only 23 members, the members have logged an astonishing amount of volunteer work hours.

“As a team, we have logged over 3000 volunteer work hours since Aug. 20, 2015. All 23 team members have logged at least 30 hours,” Lawyer said. “In addition, 10 team members have

logged over 100 work hours and seven have logged over 200 hours.”

Whether it was passion or dedication that drove the students to put in the long hours, every student has a specific reason for their hard work and commitment.

Daniel Muniz, a Mechanical Engineering major at UNIFEI and an exchange student from Itajuba, Minas Gerais, Brazil had numerous reasons for joining the team.

“By joining the team, I found that I would have the opportunity to improve my English, work with some engineering project beyond the regular courses, meet new people, and also share

Summer art programs available Libby Legett

ISU Communications and Marketing

Indiana State University’s Community School of the Arts’ summer program has classes for all ages taught by qualified instructors in all areas of the arts — all summer long.

Programs offered include preschoolers, youngsters, teens and adults and feature both single-day and overnight camps.

School of the Arts instructor Suzanne Finn, who has been with the organization for about four years, is a ceramics instructor for summer camp and teaches “Squiggles and Doodles and Messy Hands.”

“I come up with creative lesson plans and ways in which to make my classes unique,” said Finn, who earned her a degree in art education in 2013.

While she was a stay-

at-home mom, Finn said she noticed there were not any visual art programs for preschoolers, so she and the School of the Arts worked together to create one.

“The class exposes children to various mediums, from paint to clay to soft sculpture. The reason I think children this age should take this camp is that preschool age and younger is the perfect age to experiment with visual arts,” Finn said. “This leads the children to explore the world around them too.”

Aside from “Squiggles and Doodles and Messy Hands,” the School of the Arts also offers another class for children ages four and younger called “Tiny Tunes.”

“It’s also fun to squish clay. Children have lots of success with ceramics, and this will encourage more exploration into the arts,” Finn said.

The classes Finn teaches for ceramics are “It’s All Clay-tastic!” for youngsters, ages 8-12, and “‘Mud’-ling With Clay” for children ages 5 to 8. The ceramics classes offer the opportunity to hand-build as well as to throw clay on the wheel. Children also glaze their pottery and learn what the kiln-firing process is all about.

“The Community School of the Arts offers a wide variety of classes exploring all of the arts,” Finn said.

Visual arts are not the only art programs that are available through the Community School of the Arts during the summer.

Also offered are music classes and theater classes.

One of the most popular classes is “Arts Sampler,” for ages 5-7 or 8-11, offered as an all-day program throughout a week, 7:45 a.m.-5:15 p.m.

“There are six all-day ‘Arts Samplers’ offered this summer. They’re phenomenal, and kids love them,” said Petra Nyendick, director of Community School of the Arts.

The Arts Samplers include visual art, music and theater experiences for kids. The Arts Samplers offer an hour-long yoga session, too. At the end of the week during Arts Samplers, participants present a theatrical performance for family and friends and participate in an art exhibition.

The Community School of the Arts offers a wide variety of music classes, such as “Tiny Tunes PreK” for ages 4 and younger, “My First Piano Camp!” for ages 5-7, CSA “Youth Orchestra” for grades 5-12, “Music For Time Travelers: The History of Pop” for ages 12 and up, “Garage Band: Sound Mixing” for ages 12 and up, “Sing and Dance!” for ages 7-11,

WASHINGTON — Every year, the U.S. government collects stories of tortured prisoners, child laborers and persecuted activists for an annual report on the grim state of human rights worldwide.

The latest edition, released last week by Secretary of State John Kerry, marks the 40th year of the Country Reports on Human Rights Practices, thousands of pages covering conditions in every nation except the United States.

The report has become known as the world’s most complete portrait of human rights conditions, but the chief criticism remains unchanged: not all violators are treated equally, according to analysts who study the intersection of human rights and foreign policy.

The State Department

prides itself on building an exhaustive yearly roundup of violations, but how it presents or acts on the information often depends on whether the nation in question is an ally or an enemy.

For many human rights advocates, the report remains an invaluable historical record, but they don’t count on it to spur a response from the White House, especially when some of the worst offenders are U.S. allies.

“Obviously, we would have higher hopes that the report would influence policy more than it does, but we’re much better off with it than without it,” said Daniel Calingaert, executive vice president of Freedom House, an international democracy research and advocacy group.

Michael G. Kozak, deputy assistant secretary in the State Department’s bureau of democracy, human rights and labor, which

oversees the report, said the idea came about because Congress had been criticized for sending military aid to human rights violators during the Cold War. The first report examined countries that receives U.S. military aid, and later expanded to include all United Nations members.

Over the years, Kozak said, the report has improved by the elimination of loaded descriptions.

Debate now is confined to how prominently to mention a particular issue rather than whether it’s mentioned at all.

“The facts are the facts,” he said.

Influencing policy is not the report’s goal.

The report is used in briefing papers for White House officials before they meet with foreign officials, Kozak said.

Allies often get passes on their documented violations, like last year when

and many more.

“During the ‘Hand Drumming and Percussion Techniques’ classes, kids will learn about different styles of drumming and will be able to try out a variety of percussion instruments. I’m really excited about that class because it’s a new class being offered this summer,” Nynedick said.

“Budding A.M. Actors” and “Budding P.M. actors” are available for children to take to experience the performing arts.

Workshops are also available for adults (ages 16 years and older) during the evenings.

“I’m looking at some of the adult offerings for myself this summer,” Finn said.

Majority of the workshops are single evening classes. Some of the classes

available for adults include “Oil Pastel Still Lifes,” “Study A Master In Acrylic” and “Collage.”

“The reason to take one or all of these courses is because it’s good to expose yourself to things outside of your comfort zone and try something new,” Finn said. “With the limited time given to the arts in schools, it’s important to keep supporting children’s creative endeavors.”

The Community School of the Arts has $100 scholarships available for children who qualify and are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Summer class registration is now open.

the Obama administration reinstated a billion-dollar military aid package and delivered jets, missiles and tanks to Egypt, a supporter of U.S. counterterrorism efforts and keeper of a peace treaty with Israel.

As of 2015, according to the latest report, the Cairo regime still had held no one accountable for authorities’ massacre of more than 800 protesters in 2013 — an episode that prompted a brief U.S. suspension of aid.

The east African nation of Tanzania, which lacks Egypt’s close U.S. ties and strategic location, just lost nearly $500 million in U.S. funds because of a disputed election in the Zanzibar archipelago, whose tumult is described in the State Department report.

The U.S. government’s Millennium Challenge Corporation explained that the election debacle violated a commitment to democracy and therefore rendered Tanzania ineli-

“Policy doesn’t follow the accurate descriptions we tend to find in the country reports, regrettably,” said Neil Hicks of Human Rights First, an international rights advocacy group that used to issue regular critiques of the State Department report until it noticed improvements about 15 years ago.

While the data included in the report has become more even-handed, Hicks said, U.S. action on the documented abuses hasn’t caught up, largely because of concerns about American interests.

He referred to Saudi Arabia, which that the Obama administration counts among a few stable allies in the Middle East.

CHICAGO — As a May 1 deadline looms for high school seniors deciding where to attend college, students are thinking twice about universities in Illinois, where the worst budget crisis in state history has halted funding for higher education.

Public colleges haven’t received state aid for the year that started July 1 as Republican Gov. Bruce Rauner and Democratic lawmakers fight over a budget.

The strain has spurred colleges to furlough staff and cancel projects. State scholarships for lowincome students haven’t been paid.

High school counselors and some state schools say they’re hearing that more students are looking to private, community colleges or out-of-state options, because of the funding uncertainty.

“You’re having an upswing in students that just are not going to those schools” that are struggling financially like Chicago State University and Northeastern Illinois, said Amanda Andros, a counselor at Lane Technical College Prep, Chicago’s largest high school.

“They’re not sure if the university is going to stay open.”

Pensions, bonds and state employees are getting paid during the impasse, but higher education funds are stuck at zero, leaving public universities and poor students who rely on state aid among the hardest hit by the budget standoff.

As more students look elsewhere, Illinois risks a long-term loss of residents, further pressuring the economy of the state that ranked 49 out of 50 in terms of population gains in the last three years.

This week, the Democrat-led legislature approved $3.9 billion of spending that includes funding higher education and scholarships for low-income students, but Rauner will veto the measure, according to his office.

Richard Goldberg, his deputy chief of staff, criticized the lack of revenue behind the bill, calling it “filled with empty promises.”

Republicans have pitched ways to pay for higher education like changing the procurement process to free up funds or giving Rauner authority to make other budget cuts.

As the state’s leaders bicker, at least one university is running out of time.

“Sometimes it’s about more than answering the question,” Student Health Promotion graduate assistant Lucille Gardner added. “We wanted the students to be engaged in the topic and how the topic applies to them.”

The president is visiting Saudi Arabia this week.

The latest report does note Saudi Arabia’s dismal human rights record, but the difference in wording is glaring when compared with, for example, the entry on Iran.

Both are Persian Gulf powers whose rivalry plays out in Syria, Yemen and other conflict zones.

And both are hardline Islamist theocracies with long lists of human rights violations, notably the arbitrary and widespread application of the death penalty.

But the Saudis are friends and the Iranians are foes, so how executions are recorded sounds markedly different.

The State Department devoted 11 long paragraphs to executions in Iran, giving hard numbers gathered from the United Nations and Iranian activists that point to more than 900 executions in 2015, with at least 33 carried out in public.

Half that space was given to capital cases in Saudi Arabia, and the main focus was on death sentences for members of an

With a year now under her belt, Weatherly says Student Health Promotion has the chance to really get off the ground and make themselves visible to the campus with a plethora of promotions.

“I started in June,” Weatherly said of her position, which was without a leader for much of the 2014-2015 school year.

Executions in Saudi Arabia, according to the U.S. report, were “sometimes” conducted in public.

No figures were given for the total number of executions, though they aren’t hard to find.

They are in an Amnesty International account referenced in the U.S. report: at least 151 people were put to death in what Amnesty called “an unprecedented wave of executions marking a grim new milestone.”

There was also no mention of the awkward fact that the most common form of execution is beheading, a practice the U.S. ally shares with extremist groups such as Islamic State.

Kozak, of the State Department, said he hadn’t read the two entries and would look into the matter.

Yousef Munayyer, director of the U.S. Campaign to End the Israeli Occupation, an umbrella group for 400 Palestinian advocacy groups, said the report’s Israel entry was thorough on contentious issues such as Israel’s extrajudicial killings or holding of child prisoners.

He objected, however, to the report’s use of distinct sections, one for Israel and

one for the “Occupied Territories.”

“Separating them out allows them to start the entry on Israel by saying ‘Israel is a multiparty parliamentary democracy’ — as long as you ignore that military occupation thing,” Munayyer said.

“That’s really problematic because Israel rules over 4 to 5 million people without the right to vote.”

As many diplomats and human rights advocates say it might be counterproductive for the United States to become more vocal about states’ violations.

Notorious offenders such as Iran, Russia, Cuba and China have released human rights statements that emphasize the United States’ mass incarceration, racial inequality, police brutality and the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

“Simply lecturing foreign leaders about human rights and our perceptions of their interests only creates resentment and will be seen as highly hypocritical,” said Perry Cammack, a Middle East specialist at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace who was an adviser to Kerry in the Senate and at the State Department. ©2016 McClatchy Washington Bureau.

The uncertainty isn’t comforting for holders of university debt. Moody’s Investors Service cut the ratings of three universities in February, dropping Eastern Illinois to junk.

problem.”

The state is losing students, said Sherri McLaughlin, a counselor in Jacksonville, Illinois.

She’s seeing more students going out of state or opting for junior colleges.

McLaughlin, who’s been a counselor for 17 years, said she’s even advising students differently in terms of what to ask schools.

“Instead of saying ‘how many kids go to school here?’ and ‘what’s your graduation rate? — now you’re looking at asking the school — ‘where is your financial stability?’”

McLaughlin said. “There’s more difficult decisions being made now when you’re choosing a school than they had to just a year ago.”

The budget increase isn’t affecting universities equally. The state’s flagship institution, the University of Illinois, has seen a record number of applications for the year that starts in August. President Tim Killeen is projecting at or close to record enrollment. The school’s three campuses serve more than 80,000 students and have “very good liquidity,” ac-

cording to Moody’s.

Private schools aren’t immune. Last month, the Illinois Institute of Technology sent a letter to students asking them to reimburse the school for covering the needbased state aid that Illinois should have paid. Students have the option of a 12-month loan through the university. If they don’t pay, they can’t register for classes.

The budget standoff has created a crisis of confidence in Illinois education, said Matt Bierman, budget director and vice president of administrative services at Western Illinois University. As more students go out of state, fewer return, he said.

“We turn out police officers and nurses and teachers and business entrepreneurs,” said Bierman. The state’s leaders need to “realize they’re causing longterm damage, not just to higher education, but to the entire workforce in the state.”

Coachella promoters look to book Dylan, Stones, McCartney and Young for mega-concert Randy Lewis

Los Angeles Times (TNS)

It could rank as the classic rock concert of the century — six bands and performers who revolutionized popular music in the 1960s gathering in the Southern California desert over a single weekend in October.

Organizers of the Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival are looking to book Bob Dylan, Paul McCartney, the Rolling Stones, The Who, Neil Young and Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters — all Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees — Oct. 7-9 at the Empire Polo Field site in Indio, The Times has learned.

All six have never shared billing at another concert event, and it also would be the first time that Dylan and ex-Beatle McCartney — representing the two most important rock artists of the 1960s — have played on the same bill, albeit on different nights.

The concert is being organized by Goldenvoice, the Los Angeles-based concert promoter that is putting on the show with its corporate partner, AEG Live, according to people close to the situation who could not speak publicly because negotiations with the performers are still being finalized.

Artist representatives contacted by The Times indicated that plans are nearing completion.

“It’s so special in so many ways,” said Young’s longtime manager, Elliot Roberts, “because you won’t get a chance to see a bill like this, perhaps ever again. It’s a show I look forward to more than any show in a long time.”

Coachella 2016: Live coverage of the bands, the fashion, the scene Under the tentative plans, Dylan and the Stones would play back to back on Oct. 7 to open the new festival. They would be followed on Oct. 8 by Neil Young and the Promise of the Real band that has been on tour with him for the last two years, and McCartney and his touring band.

The event would conclude on Oct. 9 with the Who and exPink Floyd bassist, songwriter and singer Waters.

This collective, while viewed by some younger music fans as representative of pop music’s old guard, is made up of the musical prime movers who didn’t just redefine the parameters of rock music, strongly helping transform it from teenage entertainment into an art form, they also helped foment social and political upheaval of the 1960s, ‘70s and beyond.

They put their parents’ generation on notice that the times they are a-changin’, empathized with all the lonely people and seducitvely exhorted peers to spend the night together. They bragged to authority figures that we don’t need no education, taunted that they hoped to die before they got old and suggested that it’s better to burn out than to fade away.

The festival would also constitute yet another sign of Goldenvoice’s continued evolution beyond its beginnings in the early 1980s as a scrappy grass-roots promoter that organized punkrock shows in low-rent theaters, warehouses and other off-thegrid venues in Los Angeles, Orange and Riverside counties.

The company’s flagship event, the Coachella festival that begins this weekend, has become the best-attended and highest-grossing music festival in the world — total attendance at the 2015 edition was 594,000 (at 99,000 per day over six days). Coachella’s six-day gross of more than $84.3 million last year dwarfed the competition, according to Pollstar, the concert-industrytracking publication.

The Coachella festival has generated a largely enthusiastic response to appearances by McCartney, Waters, AC/DC, Steely

Kevin Bolinskey, associate professor of psychology, Rusty Gonser, professor of biology, and Kit Kincade, professor of English, were honored with the award during the university’s Faculty Recognition Banquet Thursday.

Named for the early 20th century author who grew up in Terre Haute, the Dreiser Award recognizes full-time Indiana State faculty who have made outstanding contributions to their disciplines.

Bolinskey received his doctorate (2002) and master’s degree (2000) in clinical psychology from the University of Virginia at Charlottesville. He received his bachelor’s from Clinch Valley College of the University of Virginia.

Bolinskey joined Indiana State’s faculty in 2004 and was promoted to associate professor in 2012.

“I’ve been lucky to have outstanding colleagues and collaborators throughout my years at ISU ... such as Irv Gottesman, Mark Lenzenweger and Diane Gooding — each of whom are recognized as experts in the field of liability to schizophrenia and have really influenced my work,” Bolinsky said. “Primarily, though, I have to give credit to my students who have actually done most of the work over the past few years.

“Without Carina Iati — now at Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital and Harvard Medical School — Helen Hunter — now a post-doctoral fellow at Emory Medical School — and Jon Novi — now at the Albuquerque VA — none of this recent research would have happened, as they were the students with whom I started my lab. Alison James, Dan Hudak, Kevin Myers, Kelly Schuder, Liz Smith and Janice Guidi have each dedicated multiple years to this work since we got started and continue to do so today, along with Yelena Gonzalez, Erin McTiernan and Kaitlin Arnold.

Kit Kincade, Rusty Gonser and Kevin Bolinskey were awarded the Theodore Dreiser Distinguished Research and Creativity Award at the Faculty Recognition Banquet on Thursday.

“My wife, Dianna (CooperBolinskey), who is a social work professor, has been involved in our research for the past few years, as well. Anything that I’ve accomplished has been because of each of them. So, for me, this award really just reflects the good work that we’ve been doing together. I have been extremely lucky to be able to persuade excellent doctoral students to work with me — and, in fact, do most of the work for me.”

Bolinsky said a defining moment of his career at Indiana State was one that almost wasn’t.

“I was really struggling to get my research going at ISU and had almost given up. Carina promised me that we could make it work if we worked together,” he said. “We were able to recruit Helen and Jon to come to ISU to be part of our lab, and the four of us started a longitudinal study of psychosis proneness that is now in its sixth year. We’ve started other projects since then, but that was the start of things for me — and what directly led to me getting tenure and ultimately being selected for this award.”

Gonser earned his doctorate in biology from the State University of New York at Albany in 1996. His master’s (1991) and bachelor’s (1987) degrees were granted by Central Michigan University. He joined Indiana State’s faculty full-time in 2003 and has taken on several leadership roles, including serving as director of The Center for Genomic Advocacy, chair of the

Graduate Council and associate director of the master’s in genetic counseling program.

“It is nice to recognized by the university community for your accomplishments,” Gonser said.

“It acknowledges efforts in mentoring undergraduate and graduate students in research. Additionally, it recognizes the ability to build internal and external collaborations that enriched the research environment at ISU.” Gonser was a researcher in a project — funded by the National Institute of Health and University Research Council — that has led the sequencing the genome of the white-throated sparrow.

Thinking of the most significant moments at Indiana State, Gonser said, “There have been several great moments — carrying the graduate banner at commencement, Receiving the university award for community engagement, the Dreiser Award for Research and Creativity and being part of a team that was awarded an Unbounded Possibilities grant to create The Center for Genomic Advocacy, which has been able to provide new opportunities for student learning and scholarship.”

Kincade received her doctorate in English from Louisiana State University in 1998. She earned her master’s from LSU in 1993 and her bachelor’s from the University of California at Riverside. She joined the faculty of Indiana State in 2002 and was promoted to a tenured position

in 2007. “(Being honored with the Dreiser Award) means the university recognizes research in the humanities, a field typically undervalued at universities nationwide, and it also indicates the university’s recognition of women’s contributions to scholarship and creativity,” Kincade said.

Her books include an edition of Defoe’s “Essay on the History and Reality of Apparitions” and the Valancourt Press edition of Clara Reeve’s “Old English Baron,” as well as a co-edited collection of essays “Topographies of the Imagination: New Approaches to Daniel Defoe.”

Since 2008, Kincade has served as the managing editor of the Stoke Newington Daniel Defoe Edition and the book review editor for “The Eighteenth-Century Novel.”

One of her favorite moments at Indiana State occurred after a retired member of the community started attending the department’s lecture series.

“After a career in the sciences, this individual began enrolling in my classes after a particular set of scholars whom I had invited and hosted piqued his interest,” Kincade said. “Subsequently, I encouraged him to join our graduate program, which he will be completing shortly, where he has been challenged and very successful in his scholarly pursuits including presenting his seminar work from my classes at several regional conferences.”

Economics professor receives Faculty Distinguished Service Award Libby Roerig

ISU Communications and Marketing

Richard Lotspeich, professor of economics at Indiana State University, has received the 2016 Faculty Distinguished Service Award in recognition of outstanding contributions outside the classroom.

Lotspeich was honored during the university’s Faculty Recognition Banquet Thursday.

“Receiving this honor gives me more confidence in where I choose to focus my work. I had no intention of seeking recognition while engaged in the service activities that eventually led to receiving this honor,” Lotspeich said. “What motivated me was the desire to constructively contribute to the administrative functioning of the university while guided by a couple of principles that, in my view, should always inform activities in higher education: adherence to academic freedom, managing the enterprise through shared governance and respect for all individuals involved, as well as for the rules established to govern our interactions.

“There have been times over the years when I questioned whether I was using my time in the best way. Often there were

no concrete products or evidence that the efforts provided any benefit to anyone. So, I wondered whether it worth it to devote so much energy to these service activities. Receiving this recognition answers that question with a ‘yes,’ and I appreciate it very much.”

Lotspeich says Helen Suzman inspires his service work at the university, where he tries to emulate her energy and ethics at a local level.

“Helen Suzman was a bold and courageous woman who served for decades as a member of South African parliament, most of the time in a precarious opposition role. She contributed constructively to her country’s governance, supported the wellbeing of her fellow citizens and was always adamant about following rule of law,” he said. “She was just as willing to criticize the black leadership of post-apartheid South Africa as she was to oppose the policies of the apartheid regime, and she did her homework.”

Lotspeich received his bachelor’s degree in economics and Russian from Georgetown University in 1979. He earned a doctorate in economics from the University of New Mexico in 1986 and pursued post-doctoral

studies in Soviet economy and comparative economic systems at Indiana University in 198889. Lotspeich joined Indiana State’s economics faculty as an assistant professor in 1990. He was promoted to associate professor in 1997 and to full professor in 2008.

Lotspeich has taught several times as a visiting professor at universities in St. Petersburg, Russia, and at Liaoning University in Shenyang City, China. He has been a member of the editorial board for the “Journal of Human Trafficking” since 2014, and worked as assistant editor for the “Southwestern Review of Management and Economics,” 1982-1983.

Lotspeich recalls at least two instances related to his service contributions that were particularly satisfying to him as a professional educator.

“One was receiving a complement from a colleague in my department on the extensive revision of our college’s ‘Guidelines for Tenure and Promotion’ — to which I had made substantial contributions. It was very satisfying to hear positive feedback from a colleague, who is himself a highly regarded professor/researcher,” he said.

Fun at Son of ISU Con

The ISU Roleplayer’s Guild hosted the Son of ISU Con this weekend. The event is a celebration of tabletop games, video games and other roleplaying games, and also featured a murder mystery and various tournaments.

COACHELLA FROM PAGE 4 Dan and other classicrock acts in recent years, leading organizers of the proposed concert to expect that a sizable portion of the turnout will consist of music fans under 40.

Separately, the Stones, McCartney, the Who and Waters still put on among the highest-grossing concert tours whenever they go on the road, usually appearing in sports arenas and stadiums.

Dylan typically plays in midsize theaters and amphitheaters of 3,000 to 10,000 capacity, and Young habitually shifts formats from acoustic to electric

and solo to group settings, performing in recent years in venues as small as the 3,400-seat Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on a solo tour to the 17,500-capacity Hollywood Bowl with his band Crazy Horse in 2013.

It’s the kind of powerhouse bill few rock fans ever imagined they’d see.

The prospect of taking in three double-headers of rock music heavyweights figures to be highly tantalizing to classic-rock fans as well as younger concertgoers who are just discovering the music of their parents’ or, in some cases, grandparents’ generation.

Conversely, all the participating artists have

strived over the years to remain relevant, typically expressing greater interest and passion toward their latest creations than revisiting past glories.

Beyond whatever paychecks they’ll get out of it, the featured performers have the added allure of a prominent role at a likely never-to-be-repeated gathering of rock music titans.

Where most festivals schedule dozens of acts each performing across multiple stages, the new festival is expected to use just a single stage in the northeast corner of the polo field’s grounds.

McCartney, Waters, the Who and Young have appeared with one or the others over time at largescale benefit concerts.

Of the four English acts in the lineup, McCartney — as a Beatle — appeared on occasion with the Stones or the Who, but only early in their careers and even then, very briefly — those bands quickly playing just a song or two

for television or radio programs.

Waters and Pink Floyd emerged after the Beatles stopped touring in 1966.

Record producer-engineer Glyn Johns, who worked with the Beatles and the Stones in the late ’60s, wrote in his 2014 memoir “Sound Man” that Dylan once approached him in the late ’60s to explore whether England’s two biggest rock bands would be interested in recording with him, a rock Valhalla-like summit meeting that never came to fruition.

Dylan famously played with George Harrison in 1971, shortly after the Bea-

tles broke up, when Harrison organized the Concert for Bangladesh benefit at Madison Square Garden in New York.

That pioneering benefit concert also featured a bevy of other rock stars including Eric Clapton, Leon Russell, Ringo Starr and Billy Preston.

Idioms for dummies

Jim Kreinhop Columnist

American English is loaded with idioms and expressions that I’d like to nitpick for a little bit: “A little bird told me.”

If you’re engaging in gossip with someone, but don’t want to reveal the source of your information, it’s apparently all right to say you heard it from a little bird.

You say to your friend, “A little bird told me they saw Veronica getting coffee with some other guy last week.”

How is your friend supposed to believe that?

Wouldn’t it make more sense that the bird would have told your friend and left you out of it?

Who is this bird, anyway, and why does he know Veronica?

Now your friend’s going to harass every little bird he sees and demand answers.

You shouldn’t be listening to anything a bird says anyway because he’s got a birdbrain.

There’s another term to ponder: birdbrain, to be annoyingly stupid or shallow.

Imagine how poorly birds must feel knowing we talk that way about them.

A bird’s mind can’t be all that bad; he’s got a lot of perspective — but that’s because he can fly.

Most animals don’t fly, but birds do, and I’ll bet they’re really proud of that and get cocky about it, too.

Birds must think they can do whatever they want, even drop in and spy on Veronica getting coffee with her boss and gossip about it later.

Why doesn’t the little bird mind his own business instead of letting the cat out of the bag?

And why is letting the cat out of the bag the same

as revealing a secret?

Don’t leave a cat in a bag just so he won’t go telling all your secrets. That’s cruel.

I would keep the cat out of the bag at all times so he could do something about that big-beaked bird throwing Veronica under the bus.

Why is it that placing guilt or blame on someone is referred to as throwing them under the bus?

Your mother may come storming into the kitchen, demanding who spilled the beans on the table.

She corners you, and you spill the beans on your brother, who punches you in the arm later for throwing him under the bus like that.

Clearly, he is stretching the truth. Being thrown under a bus would have surely destroyed your brother.

Although mom really gave him a thrashing, her strikes were less than equal to that of a bus.

“Don’t hold your breath.”

A lot of people use that expression when discouraging someone from being hopeful or optimistic.

You say to the little bird, “As far as I know, Veronica is a faithful girlfriend to Dave. Maybe that wasn’t an affair you saw at the coffee shop. Maybe it was her boss you saw her with.”

And the little bird tells you, “Don’t hold your breath.”

Of course, don’t ever hold your breath; that’s how you die.

If you die, you’ll never get to find out what’s going on with Veronica. Stay calm — keep breathing — and look for answers.

“She’s got ‘cheater’ written all over her face,” asserts the bird.

Well, if the facts are written all over her face, then why is Dave so oblivious to it? Is he illiterate? Is the message of guilt on her face written in a foreign language, or even a dead one?

Is Veronica wearing a lot of makeup to cover it up? I’ve never identified a guilty person by the writing on

Virtual reality could be good in moderation

Zach Davis Columnist

Virtual reality advancements show that they could be useful.

As of now a lot of work is being put toward using virtual reality systems for gaming and movies, further enhancing consumer enjoyment.

Virtual reality is an environment that is created using technology to be interacted with in a manner similar to the real world.

Virtual reality comes in a variety of forms, ranging from a three-dimensional world on a computer screen to total immersion, like the Oculus Rift strives for.

Virtual reality systems aim to allow people to experience things they wouldn’t normally be able to.

Seeing a 360-degree virtual world makes the consumer feel like they are part of the location, and

the sound almost makes the virtual world feel real.

This level of reality can serve both as a useful tool and an awesome form of entertainment.

First, the biggest advantage of virtual reality is that people get to experience something they wouldn’t necessarily get to otherwise.

Imagine being able to stand in a crowd and watch Martin Luther King Jr. give a speech, or take a tour of the Louvre to see all the wonderful art it holds.

Watching a movie could be more intense and enjoyable for the viewer.

Virtual reality could also help educate individuals.

Children who are homeschooled or people who are sick and can’t attend class could connect through virtual reality so they can be there for class.

Instructors might even be able to design a virtual classroom realistic enough that any experiments or demonstrations could also be performed by the student.

This way nobody has to miss an important lecture, and health wouldn’t be as large of a factor in education.

There is potential to

use virtual reality to help people socialize easier and safer.

People could connect to a monitored lobby where they can safely learn how to interact with others and integrate themselves with others.

Plus, meeting new people and keeping in touch with old friends could also be done on servers.

The virtual environment is controllable, and threatened individuals could report a user and disconnect to get away from them if necessary.

This could improve connectivity around the world and boost social networking.

However, things are only good if you take them in moderation, and virtual reality is no exception.

Going overboard is easy, and humanity has a particular knack for that.

After enough use people could have trouble distinguishing between the fake world and real world if the virtual world is realistic enough.

This confusion could cause people to spend their lives in a virtual world that doesn’t exist, or mix up the events that happen in each world.

There are no guarantees that there will be a pill to snap people out of it either, so we want to avoid this point at all costs.

If people start spending their lives in a virtual world then they could also lose some social skills.

Traditional, in-person socialization would happen less frequently.

People would begin to rely on the virtual reality interface to communicate, making traditional socialization awkward.

We would see a rise in social anxiety levels when people interact in person since it would happen less often.

Socializing using technological mediums can make people feel safer and less vulnerable than they do in person, and individuals would have no idea how to cope.

Virtual reality can be useful for many reasons, but it would be easy for people to overuse.

Overuse of virtual reality systems could lead to some negative effects.

It will be necessary to figure out what constitutes too much use so we can keep the positive effects with as few negative impacts as possible.

Changing dollars: Treasury considers changing art on dollar bills

Joe Lippard

Assistant Opinions Editor

Last year, Treasury Secretary Jack Lew announced that he was considering changing the portrait on the ten dollar bill from Alexander Hamilton to a woman.

On Saturday, a “senior government source” told CNN that Lew was instead considering replacing Andrew Jackson on the 20 dollar bill instead.

Lew is also considering changes to the back side of the ten and five dollar bills.

Support for keeping Hamilton on the ten dollar bill grew after the success of the musical “Hamilton” in the last year.

Lew decided against replacing Hamilton on the bill, telling CNBC, “When we started this conversation not quite a year ago, it wasn’t clear to me that millions of Americans were going to weigh in with their ideas.

We’re not just talking about one bill; we’re talking about the $5, the $10, and the $20.

We’re not just talking about one picture on one bill; we’re talking about using the front and the back of the bill to tell an exciting

set of stories.”

Besides replacing Jackson on the front of the 20, Lew is considering changes to the back to the five and 10 dollar bills.

According to CNN, the back of the five would have a mural of important events that have happened at the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, D.C., while the back of the $10 bill would feature a mural of events in the women’s suffrage movement, complete with depictions of prominent figures like Susan B. Anthony.

The idea of putting a woman has been pretty popular this last year since Lew suggested it.

Few have spoken against replacing Jackson on the $20 bill. Breitbart colum-

nist Jarett Stepman was one of the few to speak in support of keeping Jackson on the bill.

He writes, “However, this narrative of Jackson as a mastermind of genocide — almost demonically hateful toward American Indians — is false.”

Stepman also claims that “if Jackson’s goal had truly been to annihilate the Cherokee, he could have simply done nothing and let it happen.”

I think that the changes to the backs of the five and $10 bills could be nice. It could be cool to see all the important events that have happened at the Lincoln Memorial on our money.

It would also be nice to see the women’s suffrage movement given an honor-

able spot on the $10 bill.

I think that replacing Jackson on the $20 bill would also be a good idea.

Jackson was strongly opposed to a central bank, and he opposed paper currency.

Jackson argued in his farewell speech that “drove from general circulation the constitutional currency (of gold and silver) and substituted one of paper in its place.”

In addition, Andrew Jackson was the president who signed the Indian Removal Act of 1830, the bill responsible for the Trail of Tears, a displacement and resettlement of around 46,000 Native Americans from their ancestral homes.

About 4,000 Native Americans died on the

Trail of Tears, a death toll higher than the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001.

I think that Jackson’s actions as president were deplorable.

Replacing him with a woman would be a big step toward equality of the sexes.

There are plenty of women who deserve a spot on our currency and are better candidates than Andrew Jackson. Susan B. Anthony, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Harriet Tubman and Sojourner Truth are all better suited to be on our currency than Jackson.

All were major contributors to women’s causes, and none of them were responsible for displacing tens of thousands of people.

Curley finished at a new outdoor PR height of 5.21m (17-01.00), which now gives him sole possession of second place alltime at Indiana State.

Curley’s MVC-leading height now ranks tied for 24th nationally and 12th in the East Region — almost assuredly locking him into a qualifying slot for the regional meet.

Curley was also the third-place finisher in the javelin at 51.41m (168-08).

Senior Kimyanna Rudolph also got back to form with a strong outing in the pole vault.

The Sycamore AllAmerican finished third overall at a season-best height of 3.91m (12-10.00), which puts her second in the MVC this season and 39th in the East Region.

Junior jumper Devyn Mikell also had a high regional performance in the long jump.

Mikell finished fourth overall at another seasonbest 7.50m (24-07.25) — the third straight week he’s improved — which currently ties him for 22nd in the East Region.

because of a substantial flaw they possess which equates them, in your mind, to trash. And what do you do with trash? You dump it.

Veronica is probably a faithful coffee sipper, but she is a racist. That is the unfortunate truth.

Veronica hates the Chinese because, interestingly, she was born and raised in Beijing, where she was goaded daily by her classmates who would tease her appearance by using their fingers to stretch open their eyelids and then imitate her poorly spoken

Mandarin.

In spite of her miserable youth, her intolerance will not do; it may be time for your friend to take out the trash.

None of these expressions are meant to be interpreted literally, but it can be a lot of fun if you

read into them that way.

Many of us have grown up hearing these expressions on a fairly regular basis and have become accustomed to their meanings.

But imagine how these expressions may sound to someone learning Eng-

lish as a second language.

Consider the great potential for misunderstanding when you’re going to an event with a friend from another country and you tell them the stadium is “jam-packed” and they ask, “Grape or strawberry?”

Fellow jumper Jamie Newsome also had a solid day in both the pit and on the track.

The sophomore Lee’s Summit, Missouri, native finished third in the long jump at a season-best leap of 5.75m (18-10.50).

She then followed that up with a truly impressive race in the 400-meter dash, running an incredible PR time of 54.91 seconds — the No. 2 time in the conference this season and the No. 10 time in Indiana State history.

The Sycamores return home for the Pacesetter Invite next weekend, which will feature familiar faces Southern Illinois, Saint Louis and DePaul.

Indiana State will honor its senior class with a ceremony during the meet.

“We always run well at home so we’re looking forward to coming back, but we still have a lot of development that needs to be done,” McNichols said. “There is a sense of urgency now. We have our home meet, then we go to Drake — which is a limited entry — then we have IU and then conference. Time is short, and it’s going to finish up a lot quicker on everybody than they probably sense right now.”

13 Salukis batters down in order.

In the top of the seventh inning, senior Abbie Malchow reached on an error to lead off the inning and got all the way second before moving to third on a sacrifice by freshman Monique Castillo. Malchow then scored on a Saluki wild pitch to tie the game 1-1.

Neither team could get

an edge in the eighth but in the top of the ninth, freshman Shaye Barton led off the inning with a walk and advanced to second on a sacrifice by Malchow. After a single by Castillo put runners on the corners, junior Kassie Brown laid down a perfect squeeze to score Barton and give the Sycamores a 2-1 lead.

The Sycamore defense held the Salukis in check

in the bottom of the ninth as the Sycamores defeated the Salukis 2-1 in nine innings to also win the series, 2-1.

DeJesus led the Syca-

mores’ offensive strike, going 4-4 with two singles, a double, a triple and two runs scored. Young smashed his fifth home run of the season, while tallying another walk, knocking in two runs, and scoring Indiana State’s other run. Kaden Moore finished 2-4 at the plate,

Sycamore track finishes fourth at Tom Botts Invite Tyler Wooten

ISU Athletic Media Relations

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Despite several impressive individual performances, Indiana State men’s and women’s track and field both finished fourth at the conclusion of the Tom Botts Invite on Saturday.

The Sycamore men managed 107 points but finished behind Northern Iowa, Southern Illinois and Missouri.

“We’re really more accustomed to being in the thick of things,” said ISU men’s head coach John McNichols. “I just felt that even during the meet we would have one guy place in an event and then Southern or Northern would add two.

They have good teams, and we just didn’t have the volume we needed to do well in the meet. We had some good performances in the meet that we can take away, but I can’t say we necessarily accomplished what we came over here to do.”

The Sycamore women, meanwhile, scored 97 points and finished behind the Tigers, Salukis and Panthers as well.

“I think we made a little bit of progress this week,” said ISU women’s head coach Angela Martin. “It was nice to finally have some good weather, which really made a difference in some kids’ attitudes. We’ve been pushing through some tough things, but we’re making a little bit of progress. Definitely disappointed in the score, thought we could jump up there and take top-three for sure. But, we’ll see. We’ve

The Sycamore women placed fourth overall in the Tom Botts Invite, bringing home three other event wins as well.

got a couple more weeks to go and next week it will be good to be home.”

The Sycamore women came away with the most event wins for ISU on Saturday, winning three events in the field.

Chief among them was junior high jumper LeVisa Evans, who put forth a career day in her signature event.

Evans won the event on a career-best height of 1.73m (5-08.00), which pushes her onto the all-time top10 list at Indiana State, tying her for eighth all-time.

Evans is also in better position to qualify for the

NCAA East Regional meet, as she is now tied for 27th on the East performance list.

ISU’s female throwers also came through big on Day Two with wins in the discus and javelin.

Senior Katelyn Rutz had a strong day with her victory in the discus, throwing a season-best 49.02m (16010) in victory — which ranks her 33rd in the East Region right now.

Fellow senior Whitney Walker had herself a career day in the javelin, setting a new PR in the event at 42.19m (138-05) en route to victory. Her toss im-

proves on her slot in third place all-time at Indiana State.

Walker and Rutz also had strong finishes in the shot put. Walker finished fifth overall in a stacked field, throwing a seasonbest 15.20m (49-10.50), which puts her 27th in the East Region right now.

Rutz finished seventh at 14.76m (48-05.25).

The Sycamore men, meanwhile, maintained its excellence in the 110-meter hurdles.

It was finals-only on Saturday, which failed to slow down senior All-American Adarius Washington and

crew. Washington — just 15 minutes after running the leadoff leg of ISU’s 4x100-meter relay that finished runner-up at 41.07 — won yet again, running 13.77 in the effort.

Junior and fellow Indianapolis native joined Washington in the under-14 second club, finishing runner-up at 13.96 seconds. Jacob Wright also scored high in fourth place at 14.65.

Senior pole vaulter Connor Curley was the top collegiate finisher in the pole vault, and in the process

GAME ONE Sycamore Baseball dropped game one of the three-game series with MVC foe Illinois State on Friday night.

Indiana State rallied in the bottom of the ninth inning to score one, but would fall to the Redbirds 5-1.

The Redbirds came out swinging, scoring one run in the top of the first inning to go up 1-0.

Indiana State put runners on in the second and third innings, but could not push any across.

Illinois State scored another run in the top of the fifth inning, just before the Sycamores turned a triple play up the middle, all from the hands of senior second baseman Andy DeJesus.

A hard hit ball came flying up the middle, tipping off the glove of senior pitcher Brad Lombard before DeJesus caught it in the air, stepped on second and gunned down the runner at first.

This was the first triple play for Indiana State since May 13, 2012.

The Sycamores threatened again in the bottom of the sixth, putting both senior Andy Young and junior Hunter Owen on base, but still would not plate one.

In the top of the ninth inning, the Redbirds rallied to score another three runs, just before the Sycamores plated their first and only run of the game in the bottom of the ninth.

Indiana State’s rally fell short, as they would fall 5-1.

For the Sycamores, junior Hunter Owen went 3-4 while scoring the lone run of the game for Indiana State.

GAME TWO Indiana State Baseball picked up their third MVC win against Illinois State on Saturday afternoon by a final score of 6-5.

The Sycamore baseball team dropped the first game of the series against Illinois State but was able to turn around and claim the victory.

Despite trailing in early innings, the Sycamores gradually rallied back, scoring in the fifth, sixth, and seventh innings to earn the game two win.

Freshman Chris Ayers hit his second home run of the season, going 2-4 on the day.

The Redbirds struck first in the top of the second as they sent one over the left field wall, going up 1-0 early in the ball game.

In the bottom of the third, junior Tony Rosselli started things off for the Sycamores as he singled to the pitcher before advancing to third on a throwing error.

Sophomore Dane Giesler followed with a single to right field to score Rosselli, notching the score at 1-1.

Illinois State fired back, scoring four in the top of the fourth, pulling ahead of the Sycamores, 5-1.

Junior Hunter Owen singled in the bottom of the inning, but a double play for the Redbirds cleared the bases.

In the bottom of the fifth, freshman Chris Ayers led off with a double to right center, Rosselli followed with a single, and Ayers went on to score on a fielder’s choice RBI from Giesler.

Sophomore Tyler Friis then reached on a fielder’s choice and scored on a RBI triple from senior Andy DeJesus, cutting into the Redbird lead making it 5-3.

The Sycamores tied things up at 5-5 in the bottom half of the sixth as Owen was hit by a pitch for the tenth time this season, followed by Ayers smashing his second home run of the season over the right field wall.

Indiana State took over the lead in the bottom of the seventh with Friis doubling to left, DeJesus singling up the middle, and senior Andy Young knocking in his 23rd RBI of the season with a single to left center to score Friis.

The Sycamores would hold on to the 6-5 lead to earn the game two win.

Leading the Sycamore offense was Chris Ayers who went 2-4 with a home run, two RBIs, and two runs scored on the day.

DeJesus tallied three hits and one RBI for the Sycamores, Owen went 2-3 with a hit by pitch and a run scored, and Rosselli finished 2-4 with one run scored.

Giesler knocked in two RBIs, and Friis scored twice for Indiana State.

The winning pitcher was junior Jeremy McKinney who threw three complete innings, giving up no hits and striking out three to improve himself to 3-2 on the mound.

GAME THREE The Indiana State baseball team (23-13, 4-2 MVC) notched their second straight series win as they defeated Illinois State (9-25, 1-4 MVC) by the final score of 3-2 this afternoon.

Freshman Tyler Ward picked up his fifth win of the season, junior Jeremy McKinney notched his fifth save of the year,

and senior Andy DeJesus posted a flawless 4-4 performance at the plate.

Illinois State drew first blood for the third time this weekend when they scored one in the top of the third inning, but the Sycamores responded with DeJesus singling to left field and senior Andy Young homering for the fifth time this season to push ahead 2-1.

The Sycamores held the one-run lead until the top of the seventh inning when Illinois State’s Jean Ramirez hit a solo home run to knot the score at twos.

Indiana State then took advantage of a bases loaded, one out situation in the bottom of the eighth inning.

DeJesus led off the half inning with his fourth triple of the season, just before Young and junior Hunter Owen were both intentionally walked to load the bases.

CARBONDALE, Ill. — Sophomore pitcher Bailey Benefiel threw a complete game, three-hit, shutout in the first game of the double-header as the Indiana State softball team split the twin bill on the road against Southern Illinois.

GAME ONE After two scoreless frames to open game one, the Indiana State softball team got on the board and never looked back as Benefiel held the Salukis at bay en route to a 3-0 victory.

In the top of the third inning, senior Abbie Malchow drew a leadoff walk and then advanced all the way to third on a sacrifice bunt by senior Kelsey Montgomery who reached on a fielding error. Montgomery and Malchow then executed a perfect double steal to give the Sycamores a 1-0 advantage.

Southern Illinois threatened in the bottom of the fifth, getting runners to first and second with one out before the Sycamores turned their 27th double play of the season to end the inning.

In the top of the sixth, the Sycamores extended their lead when junior Rylee Holland hit a oneout bunt single and freshman Shaye Barton reached on an error. After a flyout, senior Alexa Cavin drew a walk to load the bases before freshman Monique Castillo drew a bases loaded walk to make it 2-0.

The Sycamores added an insurance run in the top of the seventh when junior Kassie Brown reached on an error to leadoff the frame and came around to score on an RBI single by Holland.

The Salukis had no answer for Benefiel as the Sycamores defeated the Salukis in shut out fashion, 3-0 in game one.

GAME TWO In the second game of the day, the Salukis struck early in the bottom of the first and never looked back as they went on to earn the doubleheader split with the Sycamores with a 8-0 victory over ISU. The Salukis plated three runs with two outs in the bottom of the first before adding two more in the second to take an early 5-0 lead.

After missing the first 35 games of the season due to injury, senior pitcher Taylor Lockwood then came into the game, retiring 10 batters in a row in four innings of work with four strikeouts and only one hit allowed.

The Sycamores could never get anything going offensively and the Salukis added three more runs in the bottom of the sixth to defeat the Sycamores 8-0.

GAME THREE Pitching in just her second game of the season, senior Taylor Lockwood threw a complete nineinning game, allowing just two hits, to lead the Sycamores to a 2-1 victory and series win on the road over Southern Illinois Sunday.

After pitching four innings in relief on Saturday in her first action of the season, Lockwood got off to a quick start, retiring the first seven batters she faced in order.

The Sycamores had opportunities early, as senior Kelsey Montgomery led off the game with a single and advanced to third with
