WZIS Spring giveaway Students enjoy the weather with music and free giveaways Alexandria Truby Reporter ISU’s radio station, WZIS, held its annual Spring Giveaway on Thursday April 19 at Wolf Field from 5-7 p.m.

Students danced to music, played tug of war and volleyball, ate free food and enjoyed the chance to win prizes.

“We want to give back. We do a lot for the community as a station, radio wise, so we’re holding this for the students,” Corey Clark, WZIS student station manager said. “You know, we understand, it’s springtime. We’re about a couple weeks from finals. Students need a little bit of time to just relax and get ready, and just win some free stuff. It’s just a stressful time for students and we wanted to give back.”

Many students agreed that this event helped them distress a little before finals.

“It lets us get to know who is listening to our radio station and it also helps us realize how much we impact the community,” Helena Walker, one host of the

all-rock show said, “It’s held so people can get involved with student media and to support WZIS.” According to Clark, over $1,200 worth of prizes were given away due to the devotion his team had to the event.

“It was about a three month process that required us to come together as a whole group,” Clark said. “Throughout the week, we split up and reached out to the community saying we’re having a spring giveaway for WZIS for the ISU students and in return we’ll give you some air time, it’s called underwriting, and they just gave us a lot of stuff.

They gathered gift cards, memberships to spas, coupons to local restaurants and bowling alleys and more.

“It’s not a one person effort, it took everybody,” Clark said. “I just really appreciate everybody that has helped out here at WZIS and thanks to the community, thanks for coming. If you were unable to make it this year and you’re reading about it now in the paper, you might as well come out next year because we’re just getting better and better as the years go.”

Game night includes boardgames and video games with free snacks.

Game night offers stress free evening Kayla Rogan Reporter Many students gathered on the fourth floor at HMSU to play many different games they enjoy. Some of the games included video games, board games and card games. There was food and drinks provided for the people who attended. Also, many of the students believed it was a great time to be around gamers. Many of the students played for fun, but a lot of them had a friendly competition. This event started 20 years ago at Indiana State University.

“It is a way for people to have fun, forget about homework for a night, and hang around cool people,” student Harley Owen said.

One of the video games the students were playing was called “Mario 4” on a game cube. The game cube was connected to one of the student’s laptop. This video game had many different games in one. One of the games was basketball, and the player with the most scored points won the game. Another game involved players being inside of a book, and there were several different holes they had to move around to fit inside it. If the player did not get to the hole in time, they would be smashed by the book.

The students also played a memory game involving food.

One of the games they were playing was called “Dungeons and Dragons.” This game involved the players to have imaginary adventures with imaginary people. The person can choose what type of character they wanted to become. The purpose of game is to make their fantasies

On Thursday, April 19, choir department of The Indiana State University School of Music put on their annual Spring Choral Showcase in University Hall.

Featuring three of ISU’s choral ensembles, the ISU Women’s Choir, the Concert Choir and the Sycamore Singers, guests were treated to a variety of music, from jazz to Mozart as well as music from some contemporary composers.

The University Chorale performed a selection of pieces from a variety of difference artists and composers like Mozart, Paul Mealor, Jake Runestad, Daniel Elder, Jacob Narverud and Rollo Dilworth, with David Gibbs as the accompanist. These are mostly contemporary artists, which are well known in the classical music scene.

Paul Mealor is a contemporary Welsh composer known for his motet, a mainly vocal musical composition, “Ubi Caritas et Amor,” which was performed at the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.

The Women’s Choir also performed a diverse repertoire featuring Donald Moore, a contemporary religious composer and organist, Antonin Dvorak, a Czech composer inspired by the folk music of Moravia and Bohemia, and Sarah Quartel, a Canadian composer. They also performed selections from Greg Jasperse, Dan Forrest and Alberto Nepomuceno, a Brazilian composer born in 1864, who was known for blending traditional folk Brazilian music with more traditional styles for the time.

The Sycamore Singers performed a variety of jazz pieces,

some of which that would be familiar to anyone. Eric Clapton’s “Tears in Heaven” as well as Cole Porter’s “Ev’ry Time We Say Goodbye,” which is part of the Great American Songbook, a collection of the most important jazz and popular songs of the 20th century. They also performed a song that is iconic throughout generations: “Over the Rainbow.”

“It was nice to see the choirs perform such a wide variety of music,” said Skyla Allen, a teacher and former ISU student.

Spring is always a very busy time for the ISU School of Music, especially the month of April.

Just before this performance, the School of Music collaborated with the Theatre Department to put on a musical, “Urinetown” and next week, there is a sensory

friendly concert performance of “Peter and The Wolf ” for children with disabilities. There are also a slew of recitals and concerts going on throughout this month and the rest of the semester. Anyone who loves music and is interested in going to these events can check out the University Event Calendar or visit the School of Music page directly.

24 Hour Cyclothon at North Dede Plaza AJ Goelz Reporter On Thursday and Friday, students gathered around to watch the Cyclothon at the North Dede Plaza.

“Our group, the Student Physical Therapy Association, volunteers at the Boys and Girls Club each Friday afternoon. We know of the conditions of the building thus need for upgrades and wanted to give back a little more than we normally do,” Nicole Hranchook said, team leader and organizer for the fundraiser. “We chose a Cyclothon as we promote

physical fitness to the kids and in our profession so thought the idea fitting.”

According to the Indiana State website, “A road bike set up on a mount will be put set up for members to ride. Individuals walking past will be asked if they wish to donate to the cause. Members of the Student Physical Therapy Association will also have had individuals sponsor them to ride a certain amount of miles or at a flat rate to aid to the fundraiser.”

The event went on for 24 hours where someone was always on the bike.

“The event is raising money first to cover

tuition of kids who cannot afford to attend.

The remainder will go towards upgrades for the building,” she said.

The event saw a good turnout and this might lead to this event becoming annualized, she said.

“This is the first annual Cyclothon being hosted by our group,” Hranchook said.

“With the success we did have we do plan to make this an annual event.”

According to Hranchook, the online donation page is still open this morning. The online page has seen a total of 61 donors and raised $2,615 as of Sunday.

Health officials are urging consumers to throw out store-bought chopped romaine lettuce after an E. coli outbreak.

Federal officials widen warning about E. coli contamination of romaine lettuce Geoffrey Mohan Los Angeles Times (TNS) Federal health officials have extended their health warning for romaine lettuce grown in the Yuma, Arizona region. Consumers now are advised to avoid all forms of the lettuce.

Previous warnings highlighted chopped, packaged romaine and salad mixes containing the variety.

The expansion came after prisoners in Alaska fell ill after eat-

ing lettuce from whole romaine heads sourced from the Yuma area, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Friday.

The unusually virulent strain of E. coli bacteria has sickened more than 50 people in 16 states, sending 31 to hospitals.

No grower or distributor has been identified as the source of the outbreak. California’s major produce companies, centered around the Salinas Valley, cultivate lettuce during winter around Yuma and the adjacent

Imperial Valley in Southern California.

The health agency earlier this week added 18 more victims, including nine with serious kidney failure, from five states — Alaska, Arizona, California, Louisiana and Montana — to an outbreak of Escherichia coli O157:H7 that started in late March.

Besides those hospitalized, 22 people have been sickened in Washington, Idaho, Missouri, Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Connecticut and Virginia, ac-

cording to the CDC. Here’s the CDC’s warning as of April 20: —Do not buy or eat romaine lettuce at a grocery store or restaurant unless you can confirm it is not from the Yuma, Arizona growing region.

—Unless the source of the product is known, consumers anywhere in the United States who have any store-bought romaine lettuce at home should not eat it and should throw it away, even if some of it was eaten and no one has gotten sick.

Product labels often do not identify growing regions, so throw out any romaine lettuce if you’re uncertain about where it was grown. This includes whole heads and hearts of romaine, chopped romaine and salads and salad mixes containing romaine lettuce. If you do not know if the lettuce is romaine, do not eat it and throw it away.

—Restaurants and retailers should not serve or sell any romaine lettuce from the Yuma, Arizona growing region.

Killing dogs and cats for food Google launches Chat to compete should be illegal, lawmakers insist with Apple’s iMessage Seung Lee The Mercury News (TNS) Google is launching a new text messaging system for its Android platform to challenge Apple’s iMessage in smartphone text messaging supremacy.

With Chat, Google is updating its current Short Messaging Service-run Android Messages app so that it can send and receive high-definition images and videos, set up group texts and allow reading receipts.

Chat is not a new text messaging app but rather a new set of features — known as Rich Communication Services designed to supplant the now 20-plusyear old SMS. Chat will be rolled into Android Messages in the near future.

Chat will be available to all worldwide cellular carriers that provide Android phones. But because Chat’s implementation will be carrier-based, some likely will debut later than others, according to The Verge, which broke the news Friday. This is in contrast to its main competitor, iMessage, which is built into every iPhone

sold.

In the United States, Sprint phones already support Chat between compatible Android devices and T-Mobile plans to roll out Chat in the second quarter of this year, according to The Verge. It is unclear when Verizon and AT&T will make the switch.

Unlike iMessage and other third-party messaging app, such as WhatsApp or Signal, Chat will not support end-to-end encryption, leaving the messages less secure than its competitors.

“RCS continues to be a carrier-owned service, so legal intercept and other laws that exist that allow carriers to have access to the data continues to be the case,” said Anil Sabharwal, who was in charge of building Chat for Google, to The Verge. Sabharwal led the team, which created the popular Google Photos.

With the advent of Chat, other Google projects in the space will be phased out. Allo, which was introduced by Google in 2016 as its latest messaging solution on Android, will see its development

“paused,” according to The Verge. Allo did not find traction among consumers as it was only downloaded by 50 million users, according to Sabharwal.

“We set out to build this thing, that it (would be) a product that we would get hundreds of millions of people to get excited about and use,” Sabharwal said.

For the past decade, Google was on a long and circuitous path to develop a messaging system that will reach hundreds of millions of people on its platform. Allo was only the latest creation in its history, with products like Google Talk, Google Hangouts and Google Messenger launched to mixed results.

Meanwhile, Apple’s iMessage soared soon after its release in 2011. While Apple has not disclosed iMessage’s usage statistics, a Business Insider study from 2017 found iMessage to be the most popular messaging service for teenagers in the United States, as teenagers receive nearly twice as many messages on iMessage than Facebook Messenger and more than three times than Snapchat.

Kate Irby McClatchy Washington Bureau (TNS) Yes, you can eat dog or cat for lunch in most states.

Or dinner. Or anytime.

Unless Congress acts on a new plan that would subject anyone who kills those animals for human consumption to a jail term and up to a $2,500 fine.

The House farm bill, approved this week by the House Agriculture Committee, would apply those penalties to anyone who knowingly slaughtered a cat or dog for human consumption.

Rep. Jeff Denham, R-Calif., sponsored the provision, and had a quick explanation for why.

“You shouldn’t be able to kill somebody’s pets and eat them,” he said.

Denham cited an incident 10 years ago, when a Hawaii man’s pet dog was stolen from a golf course and reportedly killed by two men to eat. The men pleaded guilty to animal cruelty charges. One served three months in jail and the other got five years probation.

Denham also pointed to

a Pennsylvania man who in 2003 was caught breeding 150 Jindo dogs, a dog breed commonly sold for meat and pelts in South Korea. He told humane officers the animals were bred as guard dogs and for meat. Authorities shut down the kennel due to unsanitary conditions.

This isn’t Denham’s first pet-centric legislative effort. He repeatedly sponsored legislation, which

became law in 2015, to allow domesticated pets to travel with their owners on certain Amtrak trains. He was inspired to push the bill after not being allowed to bring his pet French bulldog, Lily, onto an Amtrak train.

But is a ban on killing dogs and cats for consumption needed?

UAW wins representation election among Harvard graduate students Phoebe Wall Howard Detroit Free Press (TNS) After a high-profile battle at one of the nation’s most prestigious universities, Harvard student workers have elected to join the United Auto Workers with 56 percent in favor of organizing.

The National Labor Relations Board reported a vote of 1,931-1,523 in favor of joining the Harvard Graduate Students Union-United Auto Workers, ending a multiyear organizing campaign that included litigation.

Harvard officials were ordered

last December to hold a new election after the labor board ruled that voter lists provided a year earlier by the school were incomplete.

Aaron Bekemeyer, 28, of Bloomfield Hills, a Ph.D. student in history, noted that a great-grandfather of his worked in a Ford plant. Bekemeyer said it never occurred to him that he might experience UAW membership while working at Harvard, but “I was really happy to be able to continue the process of giving workers some democratic power in the workplace.”

With this latest vote, more than 15,000 academic workers across the Northeast have cho-

sen UAW representation over the past four years, bringing the national total to 75,000 academic workers. They include adjunct professors, graduate teaching assistants and researchers based at the University of California, University of Washington, New York University, University of Connecticut, Boston College and The New School in New York and Lawrence Berkeley National Lab. Many college researchers barely make rent while generating millions of dollars for a university, may wait months for paychecks or be required to work in laboratories with dirty water.

The UAW offers expertise on job

security, pay schedules, parental leave, sexual harassment protections, health benefits, fair wages and retirement, members say.

Harvard spokeswoman Anna Cowenhoven said: “Harvard appreciates student engagement on this important issue. Regardless of the outcome, this election underscores the importance of the university’s commitment to continuing to improve the experience of our students.”

The UAW has diversified its membership in recent years and now represents more than 430,000 members from industries including academic workers, automotive workers, casino dealers, agricultural equipment

manufacturers and aerospace engineers.

About 40 percent of UAW’s members work outside the auto industry.

The UAW organizes on college campuses after being approached by activists, most often in urban settings such as New York City, where the cost of living is high and an annual wage can be as low as $28,000.

UAW dues range up to 2.5 percent of member pay — 50 cents of every dollar of dues goes to the local chapter, 45 cents goes to international and 5 cents goes to the strike and defense fund.

indianastatesman.com ILLEGAL FROM PAGE 2 Some agriculture committee members scoffed at the idea, with Rep. Al Lawson, D-Fla., asking if people really eat cats and dogs in the U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, said this is “not a problem in the United States of America” and said Denham was “burning our time.”

Marty Irby, the senior adviser to the Humane Society Legislative Fund, said his and other animal rights groups have been talking with Denham for months about pushing the legislation since the congressman is “one of the top Republicans on animal welfare issues” and a member of the committee writing the farm bill.

While Irby said it is important to make sure this practice isn’t happening in this country, he said sending a message worldwide was a “major factor” behind the push for the measure.

Humane Society officials have said using dogs and cats for human consumption is still common in certain Asian countries such as China and South Korea.

“With the work of our international arm, which tries to stop this practice that’s especially common in parts of Asia, we’ve had instances when these countries say, ‘Well, why are you talking to us when this is still legal in your own country?’” Irby

Monday, April 23, 2018 • Page 3 said.

The practice is already against the law in California, New York, Virginia, Hawaii, Georgia and Michigan, with Pennsylvania considering legislation. Some of those state laws are limited just to dogs and cats, while others include any traditional household pets.

Still, House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte, R-Va., was skeptical about the idea that people should be sent to federal prison over the offense.

“There are certain ethnicities and nationalities where the tradition in their home countries is that these animals are consumed. Then they come here, and they get involved in a dog that gets sold,” Goodlatte said.

“I wouldn’t condone that in any way, shape or form, but to send them to federal prison for doing that?”

But there’s considerable support for a ban. Reps. Alcee L. Hastings, D-Fla.; Vern Buchanan, R-Fla.; Dave Trott, R-Mich.; and Brendan Boyle, D-Pa., have pushed legislation supported by 236 other House members, but has gone nowhere since it was introduced last year.

“It’s about sending a message, not just in the country but worldwide,” Denham said, “that we’re going to be one of those countries that protects our pets.”

Producer and DJ, Avicii dies at age 28

August Brown

Los Angeles Times (TNS)

Tim Bergling, the Swedish DJ and producer who, performing as Avicii, helped kick start the electronic dance music explosion of the 2010s, died Friday in Muscat, Oman. He was 28.

“It is with profound sorrow that we announce the loss of Tim Bergling, also known as Avicii,” a representative said in statement to The Associated Press.

“The family is devastated, and we ask everyone to please respect their need for privacy in this difficult time. No further statements will be given.”

No cause of death was immediately provided.

Sony/ATV Music Publishing confirmed the artist’s death in a statement, adding, “We are mourning the incredibly sad loss of an exceptionally creative talent who we have been honored and proud to represent as one of our songwriters for a number of years.”

Bergling throughout his career wrote and collaborated with artists across var-

ious genres, from pop and rock acts like Madonna and Coldplay to folk-leaning artists like Zac Brown and Kacey Musgraves, earning high praise for his production and melodic skills.

“This guy is one of the best melody writers, naturally from his soul, I’ve ever met in my life,” chic guitarist and founding member Nile Rodgers told the Los Angeles Times before last month’s South

by Southwest festival in Austin, Texas.

Rodgers partnered with Bergling on the Avicii single “Lay Me Down” and is scheduled to appear at this weekend’s Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in Indio, California.

“You sit down with Avicii, and he’s on Fruity Loops (a production software program) making the coolest (stuff) you’ve ever heard. I love him, I adore him, I respect his talent. I’m so bold as to say that if you put Avicii and I in a room together for two weeks, we’ll write every top-10 song on the charts,” Rodgers said.

Bergling was one of EDM’s first crossover pop successes in the U.S., pairing big-room European house music with vocal samples from vintage soul and an

unexpected element of stomping folk music.

After rising to European stardom with the 2010 single “Seek Bromance,” he found global fame with his Grammy-nominated single “Le7els,” which sampled Etta James’ “Something’s Got a Hold on Me.” He became a regular festival headliner at major dance music events like Electric Daisy Carnival in Las Vegas, and soon became one of the highest-paid DJs in the world.

“There’s so much inspiration to be found from older music — I’m always trying to write in Motown’s style, but updated,” he told the Times in 2012. “Soul and bluesy styles and samples work so well in house music. I want to combine the styles of today with the best of what’s been done.”

He released his debut LP “True” in 2013, and that record’s country-EDM single with Aloe Blacc, “Wake Me Up,” peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 Lionel Hahn | Abaca Press | TNS singles chart in 2013. “Hey Brother” hit Avicii arrives at Clive Davis 2013 Pre-GRAMMY No. 16 the following year.

In 2012, Bergling was hospitalized Gala and Salute to Industry Icons honoring Antonio ‘L.A.’ Reid at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on SEE AVICII, PAGE 5 February 9, 2013 in Los Angeles, California.

After Southwest incident: Should child safety seats be required on airplanes?

Mari A. Schaefer

The Philadelphia Inquirer (TNS)

When booking flights for family vacations, many parents of infants and toddlers will do the opposite of what international and domestic airline regulatory agencies, transportation safety agencies and many safety experts recommend.

They will plan to hold their children in their laps, unrestrained.

But, if anything should reinforce the need for child restraint seats on airplanes, the recent emergency landing of Southwest Flight 1380 should, said Jan Brown, a former flight attendant who survived the 1989 crash landing of Philadelphia-bound United Flight 232, which killed 111 passengers in Sioux City, Iowa.

On Tuesday, metal fragments from an exploding engine shot into the Southwest plane, which was cruising at 32,500 feet.

The force from the dramatic change in cabin pressure partially sucked passenger Jennifer Riordan, 43, headfirst through a broken window. Riordan, who had been wearing a seat belt, died from blunt trauma to her head, neck and torso. The plane, on a scheduled flight from New York to Dallas, made an emergency landing at Philadelphia International Airport.

“If there had been a lap child anywhere in the area, that lap child would have gone out that window,” said Brown, 77, in a

Experts say the safest place for a child on an airplane is in a safety seat and not on a lap.

phone interview from her Chicago-area home.

For 28 years, Brown has been fighting to make child restraint seats mandatory on all flights but has seen little support from the airline industry.

In 1989, Brown was working on a DC10 airplane carrying 285 passengers when a broken fan blade in a rear engine disintegrated, causing a catastrophic engine failure. When it came time to land the crippled aircraft, flight attendants instructed passengers to adopt the crash position.

Four parents, including Sylvia Tsao, were

instructed to put their lap children on the floor, the protocol at the time.

Tsao’s 22-month-old son, Evan, got separated from his mother as the plane somersaulted down the runway. He died of smoke inhalation, according to reports from the National Transportation Safety Board.

“Everybody in his area survived,” Brown said. “If he had been in a seat he would have survived.”

What upsets Brown most is that parents are given a false impression of safety by the fact that children under 2 are allowed

to fly free and unrestrained.

While the Federal Aviation Administration, NTSB, International Civil Aviation Organization and most airlines, including Southwest, strongly recommend that infants and small children be secured in a proper safety seat, none require it.

Families generally decide to carry children instead of buy them their own seats because of the cost of another seat, said Flaura Koplin Winston, director of the Center for Child Injury Prevention Studies at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia.

What a lot of parents don’t realize is that a child who doesn’t have a dedicated airline seat also doesn’t have a dedicated oxygen mask, she said.

Flying, however, is still far safer than driving — a far more common mode of transportation than air travel, especially for kids. Though safety seats are mandated in cars, the leading cause of death for children is motor-vehicle accidents, she said.

One alternative to hauling a cumbersome child restraint seat through airport security and onto a plane is a harnesslike restraint, called CARES. The restraint, made by AmSafe, a manufacturer of safety restraint products, is FAA-approved for children weighing 22- 44 pounds.

“We believe that the safest place for a child under the age of 2 is in its own car seat, strapped in,” said Taylor Garland,

Kanye West announces release date for eighth album — plus a collaboration with Kid Cudi Rachel DeSantis

New York Daily News (TNS)

This is not just a God dream for fans of Kanye West — the rapper is dropping an album June 1.

West continued his viral return to Twitter with the announcement Thursday that his eighth solo studio album will consist of seven songs.

And that’s not all — the Yeezy designer also revealed he and former protégé Kid Cudi are teaming up as ‘Kids See Ghost’ to put out another album June 8. “me and Cudi album June 8th,” West wrote. “It’s called Kids See Ghost. That’s the name of our group.”

The big reveal capped off a string of nearly 50 tweets that saw the rapper, 40, waxing poetic on life, offering glimpses of upcoming designs for his Yeezy shoe line and diving deep into his own psyche.

“Fear often causes people to be manipulative,” he wrote Tuesday. “Be transparent as possible. Stop setting plays. Stop playing chess with life. Make decisions based on love not fear.”

He also addressed an upcoming book that he was “writing in real time,” and that he would be working on “when I feel like it.”

West’s upcoming record — which has yet to receive an official title — will be his first since 2016’s “The Life of Pablo.”

“Pablo,” which featured assists from stars like The Weeknd, Chance the Rapper, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar and Frank Ocean, scored the star three Grammy nominations, including a nod for Best Rap Album.

Despite the album’s massive success, West has remained largely out of the spotlight over the last year following a mental breakdown that forced him to cancel a majority of his Saint Pablo tour.

He returned to the stage in November for the first time since November 2016 to join Kid Cudi in his hometown of Chicago.

The pair performed a surprised rendition of “Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1” — a welcome return for the star, whose mid-concert rants and erratic behavior one year prior got him placed under psychiatric evaluation at UCLA Medical Center.

West was rumored to be working on new material back in May, with TMZ reporting he was cooped up in Wyoming hard at work.

The rapper welcomed his third child with wife Kim Kardashian, daughter Chicago, in January.

Aidy Bryant, Busy Philipps, and Amy Schumer star in the film, “I Feel Pretty.”

‘I Feel Pretty’ review: Amy Schumer’s most endearing role yet Rafer Guzmán Newsday (TNS)

In “I Feel Pretty,” Amy Schumer plays Renee Bennett, a blond bundle of insecurity whose deepest wish is to be beautiful. Renee’s dream comes true, she thinks, when she wakes up from an unfortunate spinning-class accident and sees a supermodel staring back at her.

The joke, of course, is that she hasn’t changed at all — but suddenly Schumer’s Renee is walking the streets of New York City with a Marilyn Monroe wiggle. When a construction worker whistles — not at her, but at a colleague — she turns around and blows the guy a big, wet smooch of gratitude.

These are funny moments, and “I Feel Pretty” gets plenty of mileage from the disconnect between Renee’s not-so-glamorous looks and her suddenly outsize self-confidence. Hiding within every gag is a deeper truth as well: All it really takes to be attractive is to feel attractive. “How do you do that?” asks Ethan (Rory Scovel), an unassuming guy who is initially overwhelmed by Renee but slowly falls in love with her. “You know who you are, and you don’t care how the world sees you.”

Less self-assured is this movie’s screenplay, by Abby Kohn and Marc Silverstein, two rom-com veterans (“Never Been Kissed”) making their directing debuts.

Renee works for savvy cosmetics icon Lily LeClair (Lauren Hutton) and her spacey granddaughter, Avery (Michelle Williams), but the film refuses to paint either as a villain. That spares us some of the usual female stereotypes — but it also robs us of a villain. “I Feel Pretty” also goes awfully easy on the beauty industry and makes the least of a cameo by supermodel Naomi Campbell. (“Zoolander,” this isn’t.).

And yet, Schumer shines in her most endearing role yet, a ball of self-loathing transformed, wondrously, into the kind of woman who’ll hop on stage for a bikini contest at a dive bar. (“Renee hails from Long Island!” she says in her own introduction, a nod to Schumer’s Rockville Centre roots.) “She’s a keeper,” the bar owner says to Ethan, and we can’t help but agree. We also hope the handsome playboy Grant LeClair (Tom Hooper) won’t wreck a good thing.

Just before her transformation, Renee watches the Tom Hanks classic “Big,” which is exactly the kind of comedy-fable this movie aspires to be. “I Feel Pretty” doesn’t quite hit those heights, but at least there’s a little more to it than meets the eye.

It’s up to Republicans to make marijuana legal Noah Smith Bloomberg View (TNS) If only Nixon could go to China, as the saying goes, then maybe only Republicans can legalize weed.

Marijuana has now been legalized for medical use in many states — only Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota still prohibit use in any form. Nine states allow recreational marijuana use, and 13 others have decriminalized recreational use to some extent. Meanwhile, public support for legalizing the drug continues to grow, and is now firmly in majority territory: Unsurprisingly, weed has become big business — sales in Colorado alone now top $1 billion a year.

A study by data analytics firm New Frontier Data recently estimated that if marijuana legalization went national, it could generate more than $10 billion of tax revenue a year.

There’s just one problem: Cannabis is still illegal under federal law. During the administration of President Barack Obama, an uneasy détente existed, where the federal government agreed not to prosecute marijuana production, sale and use in states where it was legal. That effectively left things up to the states, but left open the possibility that the federal government might reverse itself and crack down.

This year, the crackdown came. Attorney General Jeff Sessions announced that he was rescinding the Obama-era policy of tolerance, and that marijuana users and growers in every state in the union now had to fear arrest and prosecution by the feds.

But Sessions may find himself increasingly isolated, even within his own party. It’s not just that

public opinion has shifted. Unlike in past federal crackdowns, cannabis is now an incumbent industry that fills state coffers and can lobby legislators.

Colorado U.S. Senator Cory Gardner, a Republican, had threatened to block Justice Department nominees unless Sessions backed off. President Donald Trump appeared to concede, assuring the senator that there would be no punishment for Colorado.

Meanwhile, the Republican-controlled U.S. Senate is pushing through a bill to legalize hemp, a non-intoxicating variant of marijuana.

This is good news. Business and monetary interests may succeed where civil liberties arguments failed, bringing an end to the U.S.’s marijuana prohibition. And not a moment too soon.

For decades, marijuana opponents argued that it functioned as a gateway drug — that users would eventually get bored and be tempted to move onto stronger substances. This argument persisted for a long time, since it’s hard to verify or disprove without actually getting people to regularly use marijuana (something no university ethics board would approve). Even if you happen to find a correlation between marijuana use and the abuse of drugs such as heroin and methamphetamine, that doesn’t tell you much; it could easily just be that the people most likely to go on to hard drugs tend to start with cheaper, more plentiful ones like marijuana.

But the legalization of marijuana presents a natural experiment that allows us to test the gateway-drug argument. If anything, it looks like the opposite is

Anxiety can cause issues for students Emma Osowski Columnist

I’ve never been clinically diagnosed with anxiety.

Because of that, I’m very slow to say that I have anxiety, since I don’t know if that’s what I experience.

On the other hand, I can’t act as if what I go through is not as big of a deal as it is due to no doctor explicitly saying that I have anxiety.

The truth is, that if what I go through isn’t anxiety, I can’t even imagine what anxiety is. So the nice compromise I have found is saying that I have panic attacks.

The best way I can explain it is in terms of Lizzie McGuire. You know Lizzie’s cartoon self? Well, when I have an attack it’s like my mini-cartoon-self is curled up in a ball in the corner of an empty room with no windows and one door. On the other side of the locked door is a hurricane of stress. If I open the door, I’ll find myself in the middle of the ocean trying but ultimately failing to catch any sort of breath.

It’s true when they say that, with anxiety, it’s hard to explain what you’re feeling and why. During my attacks, I personally can only express myself with many tears and hyperventilating. Not knowing what to say is not helpful when it comes to telling those trying to help and calm me.

It’s also not helpful when it comes to myself trying to understand what’s going

on.

Sometimes, I can sense when these attacks are about to happen. Other times, I’m cautious of putting myself in stressful situations so that they don’t happen. For example, when I know I have been super stressed for the past week or two, I try to take the next one slow and not have much on my schedule. Some people may see this as me secluding myself or returning to my hermit side, but it’s what I feel is best for me to avoid the most uncomfortable and scary states that I find myself in. And no matter how much I try to avoid them or set myself up so I don’t have these attacks, sometimes they sneak up on me and I can’t get away from them.

They last from 10-20 minutes, but the after effects last at least a day.

When I have a breakdown or an attack, I’m left with this emotional or mental exhaustion for 24 to 48 hours. It’s very difficult, especially when it comes to being in school, not being able to correctly refuel myself, because I don’t necessarily know how to, as well as the fact that college isn’t easy, as you all may be aware of.

So where am I going with all of this? Be aware of people around you.

What I’ve come to realize is that for the most part, if someone truly experiences anxiety they don’t go out of their way to talk about it. It’s not something that one really wants to relive, explain or bring it to everyone’s attention unless it’s needed, and for me, it’s not something I’m proud to say about myself. If

How to bolster Social Security with no new taxes Ramesh Ponnuru Bloomberg View (TNS) Social Security is structured so that average benefits grow from one class of retirees to the next. We could bring the program a long way toward solvency without cutting benefits from their current levels.

Merely moderating the growth of benefits, so that tomorrow’s retirees do not get as large an increase over today’s retirees as the current system offers, would produce large savings.

There are a variety of ways to do that.

One, called “progressive indexing,” would let benefits grow at the level of existing law for the lowest-income workers, moderate their growth for middle-income workers, and freeze them in inflation-adjusted terms for higher-earning workers.

When I made these points in this space recently, I got a lot of pushback and follow-up questions from readers. So I’ll respond here to the three concerns that many of you raised.

First: A number of readers thought I was talking about cost-of-living adjustments, and pointed out that they are tied to a measure of inflation. So an individual retiree’s benefit does not grow, in inflation-adjusted terms, over time. This is true. I think that yearly cost-of-living

adjustments should be more generous, so that retirees get more support when they are 85 than when they are 70.

But what I was discussing was the program’s initial benefit levels, which are structured so that a person in the middle of the income distribution who retires 10 years from now gets a bigger check than a similar person who retires today.

Second: Some readers pointed out that since they pay higher taxes into Social Security when their wages go up, it is only fair that benefits rise in response to wage gains, too. Freeze benefits so that tomorrow’s retirees get the same check, in inflation-adjusted terms, as today’s, and those future retirees will be getting a worse deal from the program. They will pay more into the system than today’s retirees did but get the same (inflation-adjusted) amount.

The observation is accurate. But since Social Security is underfunded, either promised benefits must decline or taxes have to go up, and the alternative of across-the-board payroll-tax increases would make the deal worse, too. The earliest generations to receive Social Security had a very favorable benefit-to-tax ratio.

The need to pay for the benefits of earlier generations, rising longevity and falling birthrates all mean that the ratio has to

deteriorate.

Third: As a few readers pointed out, I neglected one way to keep benefits growing, namely soaking the rich. The payroll tax that funds most of Social Security applies to the first $128,400 in wages. (That’s for now; the number goes up each year, also at a rate higher than inflation.) Eliminating that cap would raise money for the program, especially if the people paying the new tax didn’t get larger benefits in return.

While I should have mentioned this idea, I’m unenthusiastic about it. It’s a very big increase in marginal tax rates.

The federal marginal tax rate on high earners would go from 40.8 percent to 53.2 percent. In New York City, state and local taxes mean that the top marginal tax rate would go from 49.7 percent to 62.1 percent.

And if you use that tax increase to keep Social Security benefits growing, it means you can’t use it to make Medicare solvent, or pay for infrastructure improvements, or fund cancer research, or anything else.

In my view, making sure that tomorrow’s affluent retirees have bigger Social Security checks than today’s, and tomorrow’s middle-class retirees have bigger checks than today’s, should not be a top fiscal priority.

Which brings us to another issue. One of the arguments deployed against attempts to moderate the growth of Social Security benefits for the highest earners is that it would weaken the link between taxes paid and benefits received, and thereby reduce political support for the program.

The theory is that when high earners pay a lot to Social Security but receive only a little in return, they will start to see it as a welfare program.

If that argument is sound, though, it doesn’t just apply against proposals to reduce the benefits of affluent people. It also applies against proposals to raise their taxes without giving them any corresponding benefit increases. It may apply even more strongly, if we assume that high earners care more about their tax rates today than about the benefits they may receive in the future.

But if the argument is unsound — if, that is, we should not maintain foolish policies because of speculation about the possible political effects of abandoning them — then we should prefer moderating the benefit growth for high earners over raising their taxes. They are, after all, the people who should find it easiest to save for their own retirements. Let’s tell them that they’re responsible for doing more of it.

Reese was the top collegiate finisher in the event, finishing with a mark of 51.86m (170-02). Her mark of 53.98m (177-01) from Ole Miss is first in the MVC, ninth in the East and 23rd in the country.

Monday, April 23, 2018 • Page 7 stop myself from getting mad. I think, “really, do you really have anxiety, or is it just a word you use?” People have come to normalize the word “anxiety,” and I can’t speak for everyone, but for those who have it worse or the same as me, it’s not a word that

should be thrown around.

Along with being aware of those around you, if you know someone who has anxiety or panics and they are being a hermit or not interacting with the outside world much-respect that. People cope with things

differently. For myself and what I’ve heard from other people who deal with anxiety, having an attack is really traumatic.

Don’t force someone to talk, go anywhere or basically do something before they have recovered from an attack or a difficult day

or week.

Just be kind, respectful and considerate. You never know what someone’s day is like or what they’ve gone through behind closed doors.

Instead of a gateway drug, marijuana looks like it’s a substitute for more addictive, more toxic substances. At a time when the U.S. is suffering a devastating epidemic of opioid and heroin abuse, marijuana’s use as a substitute for these harder drugs is much needed.

Another fear was that legal marijuana would lead to an increase in criminality. But a team of economists found that liberalization of state marijuana laws led to no increase in youth crim-

inal behavior.

A second paper, by economists James Conklin, Moussa Diop and Herman Li, used a very interesting method to evaluate one aspect of legal weed’s impact — they looked at house prices. When recreational cannabis was legalized, many medical marijuana dispensaries converted to retail marijuana stores.

Conklin et al. found that near these stores, housing prices almost immediately rose by about 8 percent relative to houses in

other areas.

If legal marijuana brought crime and bad behavior, we would have expected to see a drop in housing prices close to where the drug is sold. That’s exactly what does happen with prostitution — a brothel in the Netherlands lowers the surrounding home values, presumably by making an area dangerous and disreputable. Because marijuana does the opposite suggests that it probably has an enduring future as a respectable,

wealth-creating business activity.

So Republicans are doing the right thing by moving to strengthen protections for legal marijuana. Sessions remains a regrettable holdout, but hopefully President Donald Trump will accede to the tide of history and rein in his regressive attorney general. Repealing the federal law against marijuana use, and leaving legalization entirely up to the states, is the logical next step.

second at 5.66m (18-07.00) and Kaitlyn Davis finished in third at 5.47m (17-11.50).

On the men’s side Tristan Parmley had a stellar day, picking up two wins in the 100 and 200-meter dash. Parmley started the day by racing to a victory in the 100 with a time of 10.85, and later in the day ran a time of 21.68 in the 200. He is currently second in the MVC in the 100-meter dash and third in the 200-meter dash.

Daley Carter returned to his winning ways this weekend, taking the 110-meter hurdles crown with a time of 14.19. Carter’s time of 14.04 from Auburn is second in the Valley, 30th in the East and 41st in the country. Avery Taylor finished right behind Carter at 14.93.

Saturday also saw Rhett Blake pick up his first career win in the men’s 400-meter dash at 49.11, holding off Jacob Uhl of Butler just .11.

Junior Akis Medrano ran a

lifetime-best race in the 800-meter run, finishing at 1:53.16 with his teammate, CJ Anyaebunam, finishing right behind him at 1:54.07. Medrano’s time moves him to 10th in the MVC. Keeping with the theme of personal-best performances, Ryan Cash ran his best race in the 3000-meter steeplechase, recording a time of 9:15.01, which was 23 seconds ahead of second place. That time is now fourth in the Missouri Valley.

Freshman Stephen Griffith also earned a win in the men’s 400-meter hurdles, crossing the finish line at a personal-best time of 53.45, which is fourth in the MVC. As with the women, both men’s relay teams claimed victory. The 4X100-meter relay team came across the finish line at 41.96 and the 4X400-meter relay team finished at 3:16.49.

In the field for the men, Jaime Murtagh took home the first win of the day. Murtagh was the last

man standing in the high jump, recording a mark of 2.07m (609.50). His mark of 2.18m (701.75) still leads the MVC, is 11th in the East and 16th in the nation.

The pole vaulters also earned a first and second place finish.

Senior Trey Kennedy won event with a vault of 4.76m (15-07.25).

Riley Smith took the runner-up position with a mark of 4.61m (15-01.50). Kennedy currently owns the second-best mark in the conference.

Hunter Schuman made the most of his last Pacesetter Invite, taking home the victory in the men’s shot put with a mark of 16.20m (53-01.75). Sam Overton also competed well, placing second at 15.98m (52-05.25).

Picking up his first ever collegiate victory was Joe Barnes, as he fought his way to the top of the discus throw with a mark of 46.52m (152-07), which is a lifetime-best. His teammate, Kannon Sams, finished in second

with a throw of 42.49m (139-05), also a new personal-best.

Senior Scott Schreiber jumped his way to victory in the men’s long jump, earning a mark of 6.91m (22-08.00). Schreiber’s mark of 7.06m (23-02.00) from the Tiger Track Classic currently sits at third in the conference.

The Sycamores will be back in action next week at the 109th running of the Drake Relays on April 26-28.

Although the Sycamores won game one, Dallas Baptist recovered back for game two and three this weekend.

Sycamores lose series to No. 23 Dallas Baptist Garrett Short Reporter

Indiana State used a dominant complete-game shutout by pitcher Tyler Ward to win game one, but No. 23 Dallas Baptist was able to recover and win games two and three to take the series over ISU this weekend.

Oakland Athletic and former ISU pitcher Sean Manaea threw the first no-hitter of the MLB season on Saturday but he wasn’t the only one that threw a gem over the weekend. Ward got the start in game one and was dialed in. The junior from Santa Claus, Indiana won his sixth game of the year allowing just six hits and two walks while striking out eight. DBU came into the series

with the most runs scored in the Missouri Valley Conference but Ward kept the Patriots at bay.

The offense helped out Ward and gave him a cushion to pitch with early. Clay Dungan scored in the bottom of the first to put the Sycamores ahead early. From then on it was all ISU. The Sycamores plated another run in the third and two more in the fourth to take a commanding lead. While no lead ever seems safe against DBU who was chosen to finish first in the conference in the preseason poll, the game was in control with Ward on the mound.

ISU tacked on two more insurance runs in the seventh and Ward carried them the rest of the way for a 6-0 win. CJ Huntley and Bailey Partlow each had

two hits in the win.

Game two on Saturday looked like ISU had the series win in the bag early on. ISU’s bats were on fire plating three runs in each of the first two innings. Huntley put ISU up first with an RBI triple to right, his first of three hits.

Chris Ayers followed that up with a homerun. Ayers also had a two RBI single in the second.

The offense stuck around for the entire game for ISU but their pitching started to struggle as the game progressed. Triston Polley entered the fifth having given up just one run, but that’s when DBU exploded for four runs to cut the lead to 9-5. Polley went 5.1 innings and gave up seven runs on 12 hits.

The eighth inning was the difference-maker as DBU scored

five runs off of Ethan Larrison to take the lead 12-10 which would be enough for the Patriots to knot the series at one.

The series finale saw ISU getting on the scoreboard first again. After Jake Means got on base with a walk in the second he was moved to third after a single from Roberto Enriquez. Means then came in to score courtesy of a sacrifice fly from Luke Fegen.

In the top of the third, DBU responded by scoring two runs to take the lead. Tristan Weaver maneuvered his way out of a bases loaded, no out jam with limited damage after two sacrifice flies brought in the runs for the Patriots.

ISU tied it at two with a sacrifice fly of their own in the bottom half of the third but that didn’t

last long. DBU went up 4-2 in the fifth using two hits and an ISU error. Later on DBU’s Tim Millard hit a three-run homerun in the seventh to take a 7-3 lead.

ISU couldn’t push a run across in the final three innings and lost 7-3.

ISU is now 19-16 with a 4-8 MVC record. DBU continues to cruise at 25-12 with a 7-2 record in conference.

Bright spots in the series include Ward’s unbelievable start in game one and the play of CJ Huntley who went 6-12 against DBU. ISU is back in action Tuesday at Northern Illinois, their first of a stretch of nine straight road games.

Sycamore men and women dominant on day two of Pacesetter Invite Andrew Hile

Athletic Media Relations

The Indiana State men’s and women’s track and field teams put on a dominant performance at day two of the Pacesetter Sports Invitational.

Both the men’s and women’s team were victorious, with the men defeating Eastern Illinois 367-80 and also defeating Butler (55), Detroit Mercy (29), Xavier (13) and Valparaiso (9). The women overtook Eastern Illinois by a score of 354-105 and also beat Detroit Mercy (46), Xavier (31) and Butler (25).

“This was a really good day for the team, we love competing at home and it wasn’t a huge meet, but our teams competed hard

and worked hard for every point they won and came away with huge wins,” head coach Angela Martin said. “The performances were very good for this time of year. We are kind of in mid-season and it’s tough because we’re training hard and still trying to prep for the end of the season. They did a really good job and I’m proud of how they competed.”

The invitational section of the women’s 800-meter dash featured a deep field of competition, including Aleksey Green, Alli Workman, Brooke Moore, Brittany Neeley, Jessi Conley and Taylor Austin. Neeley ended up taking the crown, crossing the line at 2:06.91, which is less than a second away from

the meet record. She now holds the fifth-best time in school history, the best time in the Missouri Valley Conference, is 23rd in the NCAA East Region and 36th in the entire NCAA. In the 100-meter hurdles, Patrycja Dziekonska once again found herself atop the results, claiming first at 14.01. Her time of 13.79 from the Gibson Invite still leads the conference. Ayanna Morgan was right behind her in second at 14.30.

Shana Cooper and DeAndra Greer were neckand-neck in the women’s 100-meter dash, as they ended up tying for first place at 12.00. Greer ran a time of 11.84 at Auburn, which is fifth in the Valley.

Greer followed that per-

formance up by winning the women’s 200-meter dash with a personal-record time of 24.57, which is also fifth in the conference.

The 400-meter dash saw a one-two finish for Oschtisha Jackson and Imani Davis, with Jackson walking away with the victory at 55.44 and Davis finishing at 57.26. Jackson owns the top time in the MVC of 55.11 from the Tiger Track Classic.

Providing the last individual win on the track was Jocelyn Quiles in the 3000-meter steeplechase.

She crossed the line at 11:16.04 for her first career collegiate win.

Both ISU relay teams claimed victory as well.

The women’s 4X100-meter relay team was victorious at 46.55, while the 4X400-meter relay team took home the victory at 3:55.18.

It was an impressive day in the women’s pole vault for Kim Jackson, who recorded a career-best mark of 3.76m (12-04.00) en route to a first place finish in the event. Jackson’s mark is the 10th best mark in school history and second in the Valley.
