Indiana State Career Center, Alumni Association work to find students jobs after graduation Tamera Rhodes Reporter Seniors are confident they will find employment upon graduation, especially if they completed internships to complement their resumes or took advantage of Career Center services. Though Lorian Stoddart, a senior graphic design major, will not have employment at the time of her graduation, she estimates that within six months she will obtain a position in her field of work due to the resources she has used from the Career Center. “I think utilizing an internship on your resume is important, it will be even more useful if the internship was done at a reputable and popular firm,” she said. Prior to last year, she had used Career Center services, but last year she began inquiring about internships and pursuing them. “I am very confident in finding a job in my field … finding jobs will not be as hard for me because I am able to do freelance work,” Stoddart said. Currently, she has existing clients who she can do work for, as well as opportunities for new clientele until she becomes employed with an established company. Darby Scism, executive director of the Career Center, said the center connects students and alumni with employers through job posts on Sycamore Career Link, providing a campus location to conduct interviews, hosting campus information sessions on a specific company’s hiring criteria and expectations, employer panels and hosting networking events. “It’s important for our students to realize that they are in competition with other students throughout the country … they have to stand out,” said Scism. She said seniors need to work on marketing and networking their skills in various ways including community involvement such as, volunteer work, attending social events and professional association conferences, or also known as networking. Tradara McLaurine, assistant director career services, said students can find internships on Sycamore Career Link or through their advisor and if students network correctly, the job search process can be very easy. “We don’t place anyone, we only help them

with obtaining internships and get their foot in the door,” she said. Some businesses that commonly offer internships to ISU students and alumni through the Career Center are Ryves Hall, Indiana University Medical Center of Indianapolis, Master Brand Cabinets, KATZ of Terre Haute and Darby O’Connor & Lalenski, LLC. Scism said she highly recommends all students complete an internship or some type of field experience before they graduate. “Employers expect this of college-educated students,” she said. Through networking with alumni, the Indiana State University Alumni Association and the
Career Center collaborate to provide networking opportunities for employment or internships to students through various social events, said Scism. In return, she said these companies will create internships or job opportunities for students. “Alumni are potential employers … alumni stay in touch with alumni for networking purposes and to stay connected to the ISU community,” she said.

CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 For students who don’t have an internship on their resume at graduation, she said they can still do some type of internship after graduation. The Career Center appoints advisors who act as liaisons in every department to provide their major students with internship opportunities in some departments the planning process begins within their freshman year.
“It’s important for our students to realize that they are in competition with other students throughout the country ... they have to stand out.” Darby Scism, executive director of the ISU Career Center Networking and planning are two essential tasks students should do as soon as possible, said Patrick Bennett, professor of psychology. He said, in the psychology department, career planning begins in the first year of college with an introductory psychology careers course and the curriculum for the major is geared more toward preparing students for graduate school.
Additionally, the psychology majors’ program offers a wide variety of experiential learning in residential placement on campus and fieldwork conducted in variety of mental health settings, schools and non-profit organizations. Brandon Himes, a senior communication major, said he was advised by faculty and staff about the importance of internships, which led to his participation in the Disney College Program in 2009, an internship opportunity at Walt Disney World Resort. He said he has used other resources at the Career Center, such as the resume building and mock interviews to ensure he was ready to tackle the interview process of an employer. “I have been to the Career Fair for the past 5 years, and I have actively used Careershift and Career Link to ensure I am on top of my game in the job market,” Himes said. The Career Center will continue to offer many life-long services to assist students and alumni with employment placement, even after graduation during jobless situations or career changes, Scism said. The Career Center has walk-in hours from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. and 1 p.m. to 3 p.m., Monday through Friday.

News Briefs Biographer of Jackie Robinson to speak Friday A biographer of iconic baseball player Jackie Robinson will speak at 7:30 p.m. Friday in Hulman Memorial Student Union, Dede I as part of Indiana State University’s Community Semester series. In addition to Robinson, Arnold Rampersad has written distinguished works on Langston Hughes, W.E.B. DuBois, Arthur Ashe and Ralph Ellison. Rampersad, professor emeritus of English at Stanford University, received unprecedented access to Robinson’s private papers for his 1997 book, which allowed the author to bring readers close to the legendary ballplayer who became a pivotal figure in race and civil rights. Robinson’s landmark journey is chronicled in the movie “42,” currently playing in theaters. Robinson became the first African-
American to play in Major League Baseball (MLB) when the Brooklyn Dodgers started him at first base on April 15, 1947. He played for the Dodgers until his retirement in 1956. A six-time All-Star and a member of the National Baseball Hall of Fame, Robinson was also the first black television analyst in MLB and the first black vice-president of a major American corporation. In recognition of his achievements on and off the field, Robinson, who died in 1972, was posthumously awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and the Congressional Gold Medal. Rampersad’s talk is sponsored by the English and history departments, the African and African-American Studies Program, the College of Arts and Sciences and the Terre Haute Rex.

It is like having an officer enter your house without a warrant and having complete access to all your personal files and there is nothing you can do or say to stop it. At least this is how the online hacktivist group Anonymous describes the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA). Last Thursday, CISPA passed through the House of Representatives with a vote of 288-127. According to the fact sheet released to the public, CISPA’s goal is to protect networks from cyber threats. The fact sheet also says that it is a means of protecting national security. There were multiple markups to the bill, like saying the government is “now required to eliminate any personal information it receives that is not necessary to understand the cyber threat.” But what is considered a “cyber threat?” The fact sheet never identified such specifications. The issue is that it is written too broadly. West Virginia Democrat senator John Rockefeller said “CISPA’s privacy protections are insufficient.” The Electronic Frontier Foundation, an organization that dedicates itself to digital freedoms, said it is, “written so broadly that it allows companies to hand over large swaths of personal information to the government with no judicial oversight—effectively creating a ‘cyber security’ loophole in all existing privacy laws.” Internet has become a staple in our everyday lives. The problem is that the world is still catching up on how to regulate its usage. CISPA was created with the intent to protect the government and private companies like Facebook and Google from any sort of cyber attack, but why would seeing people’s personal information help that? National security should not come with the price of personal freedom and right to privacy. In an act of protest to the bill, Anonymous is asking web users to help them ‘black out’ the Internet this Monday. For many, this may stir memories of the Stop Online Piracy Act, better known as SOPA. The good news in all of this is that while CISPA runs the possibility of getting through the senate, the White House has said it would veto the bill “in its current
Submitted photo.
form,” making it ineffective. When they say “current form,” they mean if it isn’t amended at all. While it is good to know President Barack Obama is also against this the push for change in any democracy needs to come from the people.
“[CISPA] is a direct violation of the Fourth Amendment ... it puts our information into even more hands than it already is. ” As there was with SOPA, there needs to be an increase in the number of voices against the introduction of CISPA which has the potential to encroach on a number of personal liberties. This bill is a direct violation of the Fourth
Amendment. It is also an issue because it puts our information into even more hands than it already is. Over a year ago on Jan. 18, websites such as Wikipedia and WordPress temporarily shut down their services in what they called a black out. The point was to demonstrate what life could be like if the SOPA bill went through, and their efforts paid off. The protest spread like wild fire and the people made themselves heard. SOPA was struck down in the House and no one has really heard about it since. While there has been news coverage about CISPA, it certainly hasn’t been the social media firestorm that SOPA was and it should be. Either way, people need to start educating themselves about the CISPA bill and do with that information what they see fit.

Hopefully you’ll be rolling in the dough by the time the fall semester rolls around.
Twitter updates its website You know how whenever Facebook makes its seemingly pointless changes to the way it’s set up, people complain about it for days? Well, guess what, everyone, Twitter is heading into the ‘timeline” stage of it’s website.Updates to social media Jacob websites and apps are often unneeded and end up causing more aggravation Rivers casues user to learn more things. Letters to andWithin the past few years, and My Fish the invention of Twitter, many Facebookers have been using both Facebook and Twitter, or switching from Facebook to Twitter only. Updates are needed to keep the app or social networking site in working order, but all the big changes are not needed. Twitter has spent the past few month revamping and adding a huge new feature that could possible change the way people use Twitter. According to news.cnet.com, a new update to Twitter is open to the public which adds new elements to the social networking site. Twitter has opened #Music to the general public which allows users to
listen to music on Twitter. Basically #Music uses activity, such as tweets, to discover what the most popular tracks are and new and upcoming artists. Twitter now also brings artists’ music-related activity to the front to be noticed, which in turn allows Twitter users to visit artist’s profiles to see what kind of music they like and which other artists they follow; and of course, users can tweet songs right from the app. As of today, Twitter uses Spotify, iTunes and Rdio to supply its music needs, although users can only hear previews of tracks with iTunes in the app. Users can link in their Rdio and Spotify accounts to listen to the full tracks that are available through Spotify and Rdio. Twitter stated that it will continue to add other music service providers to the app. With the addition of new tabs, #NowPlaying tracks music that has been tweeted by other musicians or the people that they follow. The “Suggested” tab gives recommendations on music that Twitter users may
or may not like. Lastly, the “Profile” tab lets users see whom an artist follows. How users share the track with followers is quite simple, they just have to tap a spinning disk in the lower corner of the screen, which then opens the track and allows users to Tweet about it. Is this update and addition really needed? There are countless ways internet users can easily listen to songs, not to mention that almost every has a music-enabled cell phone, iPhone, iPod or mp3 player. Even if users were to use this new feature on Twitter, they still must log into their Rdio or Spotify account, logging into Twitter to log into Spotify seems like an unneeded step. Spotify already shows what people who are close are listening to. It seems that Twitter wants to add more unnecessary features to its website and cell phone app, which is unneeded, and many users may never use. Is Twitter updating too much for you?
“It seems that Twitter wants to add more unnecessary features to its website ... Is Twitter updating too much for you? ”

Wearing a fedora hat, hipster glasses, arms covered in tattoos and shaggy hair, Aaron Zimmer steps onto the stage where the crowd awaits to see this relatively unknown one-man-band do his work. Zimmer visited Indiana State University on Friday evening as part of the final Spotlight Entertainment concert of the year. The air was filled with the rock songs performed and written by Zimmer, as well as a cover tribute to Pink Floyd. “The show is very interactive and I enjoy bringing entertainment to the crowd,” Zimmer said. “I’m hoping to give everyone a stress-free fun time before finals come in a couple weeks.” Zimmer is from Lincoln, Neb. but currently resides in New York and has played mostly on the East Coast but usually performs once a year in the Midwest. “I just love music because it makes you feel good and relieves your problems; it gives you something to do when you need to relax. I didn’t really know who Zimmer was before this but that is the great thing about seeing different artists,” said Ryan Ballinger, a freshman business major. Zimmer said he has been performing his own concerts for over ten years now and he describes his style of music to be “alternative pop rock”. Performing at festivals such as the Grizzly Bear International to small clubs, he spends most of his time performing. He started out in a band but the band soon broke up so he decided to become the one man band he is today. “I enjoy performing at colleges because the atmosphere is very diverse, and I always get a decent audience. I like to bring something different to the crowd in hopes for entertainment,” Zimmer said. Elle Humbert, a sophomore communication major and the vice president of Spotlight Entertainment, said the student organization booked the concert to finally bring Zimmer here and for one last show of the year. The group usually plans and organizes two concerts a semester and this is the first time they are putting on an end-ofthe-year concert. Spotlight Entertainment has been around for four years and they have currently been trying to recruit new members by showing they do not have to perform. Faren Coday, president of

“I enjoy performing at colleges because the atmosphere is very diverse and I always get a decent audience.” Aaron Zimmer, musician “All you have to do is help book the
events and assist the event and it looks great on a resume,” Coday said. Humbert said in August they plan on having a call out meeting for any student who would like to join. They host meetings once a week on Thursday nights and are hoping to bring a lot more people into the group to help book these concerts and shows. The group is usually contacted by agents of different groups to perform and sometimes they get in contact with the local bands. “Spotlight Entertainment aims for a really laid back good time. We hope to give students something different to do on the weekends and that our first end of the year concert is a success,” Humbert said.

She added that, at that age, one is less likely to speak up against it, which is why it is important for college students and other adults to be supportive to such individual plight. “When people are in an environment because they feel they are unsafe, they are forced into silence,” Coar said. “Day of Silence recognizes those who can’t speak and can’t be who they are.” Members of the Advocate’s for Equality group on campus gathered in the HMSU commons to recognize the Day of Silence. Students held up signs with statistics about bullying amongst the LGBTQ community and some had duct tape over their mouths in support of those individuals “without a voice”.
Senior music major Dylan Wright said Day of Silence is a national event that everyone can participate in to bring awareness to the problem of LGBTQ bullying. While it is less likely to happen in colleges, Wright said it is important that students at the K through 12 levels know they have support and education. He said some young kids are taught homophobic slurs by parents and they are unaware of the impact it has when it is repeated at school. According to the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network’s website, eight out of 10 LGBTQ students experience harassment. A report on the website stated that 60 percent of those students harassed do not report it “believing little to no action would be taken or the situation could become worse if reported”. Coar said she recalls students having to drop out of high school because they could not handle
the pressures. Wright said that for many members of Advocates for Equality, showing support
“Day of Silence recognizes those who can’t speak and can’t be who they are.” Alejandra Coar, freshman English major to such students is important because many have seen the bullying first hand. He added that, through awareness and support, many of the students experiencing bullying are now “a lot more resilient”. He said that as a nation we are moving in a positive direction as more educated and famous people are speaking out in support of LGBTQ
issues and pushing for tolerance and equality. Recent LGBTQ issues making headlines were Proposition 8 and the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA). The California ballot proposition overturned a California Supreme Court’s ruling that same-sex couple have the same rights to marriage as heterosexual couples. Coar said that she is pleased with the increase in willingness to stand up for the LGBTQ community even if it is “slow going.” “It will take a while, but it is awesome to see and be a part of,” Coar said. According to the Day of Silence website, the nationwide awareness movement began in 1996 at the University of Virginia with the goal of creating safer schools for all no matter their sexual orientation. “One voice can make a difference,” Wright said.

ISU Softball breaks third school record this season Evan Martin Reporter
Indiana State’s softball team broke its third school record in its final on the road Missouri Valley Conference series this weekend against University of Northern Iowa in Cedar Falls, Iowa. The team is now 14-31 and 3-16 in MVC. They broke their double play record in the doubleheader loss. Sycamores lost first game of the doubleheader, 9-4 Junior infielder Morgan Allen hit an early in the park home run giving ISU the lead, 1-0. The team then extended the lead at the top of the second inning as senior catcher Alex Lucas hit a single followed by a walk by freshman infielder Addie Malchow. Both runners advanced on a wild pitch from UNI. In the third inning, with Dickerson on the mound, UNI sent the ball back in a line shot. Dickerson then passed Wilson for a 1-5 double play. This was the 19th double play this season for the Sycamores and established the new single season record. Sophomore utility player Ashley Dickerson scored Lucas on a bunt. Following was an RBI single from freshman outfielder Kelsey Montgomery, who scored Malchow and jumped the Sycamores to a 3-0 lead. The Panthers quickly responded offensively, scoring a run in both the second and third innings cutting the lead, 4-3. UNI then tied at the bottom of the fifth inning off two doubles. UNI then broke away with a five run score off six hits to turn the tide of the game as the Sycamores trail, 9-4. ISU could not come back in the seventh inning as the game ended. ISU falls to UNI, 4-1 The second game of Saturday’s doubleheader started with an early lead by the Panthers. They jumped to a 2-0 lead in the bottom of the first inning off two hits and a fielding error by the Sycamores. Montgomery hit a single and advanced to third inning on a single by Wilson. The Sycamores then got on the board after an RBI single from sophomore utility player Megan Stone putting ISU on the scoreboard, 2-1. Northern Iowa scored two runs in the bottom of the sixth inning, extending the lead 4-1. ISU couldn’t catch back up to the Panthers. Stone finished 1-3 with an RBI as freshman pitcher Halle Humphey allowed six hits and two earned runs

with five strikeouts. Wilson moves to top ten in RBIs as Sycamores fall, 8-1 The Sycamores came out strong and had chances early on to score in the first inning when Allee walked to start things off offensively, then advanced to second on a sacrifice before getting to third on a fielders choice. She would not score, however, as a fly out would end the Sycamore’s half of the inning. The Panthers would cash in on their first inning leadoff walk as it would come around to score and give the Panthers an early 1-0 lead. The Panthers didn’t stop their scoring there, however, as a big fifth inning seemingly closed the door on any chance the Sycamores had of making a game out of it. The Panthers scored four runs in the fifth inning alone and pushed their lead to 5-0. Allee was able to get on base in the sixth inning before being driven home by an RBI single by junior
utility player Shelby Wilson, who recorded one of the teams’ only two hits on the afternoon. Wilson drove in the only run for the team and moved into the school’s top ten list for RBI’s by recording her 63rd of her career and 33rd of the season. With her run scored, Allee moved into 5th place on the ISU single season runs scored list and could make history in her next game as the junior is only two runs scored away from first place on the team’s all-time list. The Panthers added two more runs in the bottom of the sixth before going on to defeat the Sycamores 8-1 to close the series. “We are building every day to improve and learning the energy and effort to play at a high level,” said Shane Bouman, head softball coach. The team will be back in action Wednesday as they travel to Indianapolis, Ind., to face the Bulldogs of Butler University in a late non-conference affair.

MVC adds new university to conference roster
ISU Athletic Media Relations
For the first time in 20 years the Missouri Valley Conference is adding an institution, as the MVC President’s Council unanimously voted to extend a membership invitation to Loyola University Chicago, and the Ramblers will begin full participation in all of its sponsored sports effective for the 2013-14 season. “This is a historic moment for the Missouri Valley and for Loyola University, and we strongly believe in the commitment and the potential that is very evident with this institution,” said Commissioner Doug Elgin. “Their University leadership has made a very significant investment in athletics facilities and in staffing in recent years, and we are confident that Loyola is going to be a
great competitive fit in our Conference.” “The MVC has a great reputation and a strong competitive profile both in athletics and academics,” said Michael J. Garanzini, S.J., president of Loyola University Chicago. “I believe this partnership with the Missouri Valley Conference will enhance our national visibility and have a positive impact on the experience of our student-athletes.” “We are very honored to have received this invitation to join the Missouri Valley Conference, one of the most historic and competitive conferences in the country. We look forward to reestablishing nationally competitive programs and growing Loyola’s modern
athletics brand,” said M. Grace Calhoun, assistant vice president/director of athletics. “I am confident Loyola will not only be a strong and valued new member of the conference athletically, but will also enhance the reputation of the conference through the addition of a world-class university in a world-class city with student athletes who excel academically, athletically, and in life.” Loyola has a long tradition with several Missouri Valley Conference schools having previously played each of next season’s other nine Valley members in men’s and women’s basketball, facing Bradley (47 times in men’s basketball and 26 times in women’s basketball) more than any other league member.

ISU PREPARES WITH MASS CASUALTY DRILL Indiana State College of Nursing, Health, and Human Services held an interprofessional mass casualty and active shooter Drill Friday afternoon in the old College of Business. The intent of the drill was to provide real world, hands on experience with a disaster to students of the college. At the start of the drill, police responded to a shooter within the building and proceeded to apprehend what turned out to be a woman. After the suspect was cuffed and brought down, students from the Ivy Tech paramedics went through
