The ISU Student Government Association has delayed announcing the new president and vice president due to unknown allegations, election officials said Tuesday evening.

Logan Seger, the election commissioner of the Student Government Association, said that officials “will get a hold of everyone when this is taken care of and announce the results.”

He said he is still unsure how long this process will take and would not comment on the specifics of the allegations.

Presidential candidate Logan Valentine, a junior insurance and risk management major, said that running for head of the student government has been a lengthy process.

“We have wanted this for six months,” he said.

Both candidate pairings were given an extra week to campaign after a run-off was declared

“We have wanted this for six months.”

Logan Valentine, presidential candidate for the Student Government Association and junior insurance and risk management major March 27.

Presidential candidate Phillip Ulrich and vice

presidential candidate Bethany Alkire received 38.96 percent of the vote while Valentine and vice presidential candidate Jacoby Waldron received 47.34 percent of the votes. The Indiana State University Student Government’s Constitution states that a candidate pairing must have 51 percent of the votes to be declared the winners.

Ulrich, a sophomore communication major and Alkire, a sophomore biology major, said they spent the additional week reinventing their campaign. They put up new posters with less content and a humorous theme, hoping to show students another side of their personalities.

Alkire said the change in campaigning strategy has garnered the results they were looking for.

Valentine and Waldron also spent that week putting out more posters and handing out fliers. Both Valentine and Waldron said that they did not do very much of that the first time around.

“We spent a lot of time talking to people and socializing, so we decided to use the extra week to hand out more hard copies,” Valentine said.

Ulrich and Alkire both said that regardless of who wins the election, they plan to remain active members.

“We intend to continue our involvement in [the Student Government Association] in one manner or another,” Alkire said.

Valentine and Waldron agreed and said that they want to keep the peace with their opposing candidates.

“No matter what; one love, and one school,” Waldron said.

Student ethics put to the test

Teams gave their best solutions to moral dilemmas Monday at the third annual Ethics Bowl. The competition is a part of the Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility Conference taking place at ISU today through Thursday (Photo by Maggie Edwards).

Kiara Gilbert Reporter Students were grilled over ethical dilemmas such as cheating, plagiarism and stealing during Monday evening’s third annual Ethics Bowl.

The ethics bowl is a quiz-style competition between seven groups of teams of three or four members. Students were given an ethical dilemma and required to come up with responses that best solved it. Teams that provided the most ideal replies received higher marks.

Lauren Morgan, a junior marketing major and president of Delta Sigma Pi fraternity, which is a co-ed professional business fraternity, participated in the Ethics Bowl. She said the event was something many students would have been able to use during college or when they went into their profession.

“It’s important to practice ethical skills because there is no right or wrong answer,” Morgan said.

“So the only way to have better ethical standards is through

practice. It will give Indiana State University the chance to see how students’ brains work and can take that information, so they can better understand the students.”

Rachel Roberts, freshman insurance and risk management major, agreed with Morgan.

“It’s important to handle different ethical problems and it’s good to learn them,” she said.

In one hypothetical scenario, Maya, a foreign exchange student, copied exactly what came from her book for a term paper.

In her country, it is acceptable for her to do that, but in America, she must use citation and her own words to write her paper.

Teams had to determine if Maya should be kicked out of the class or forgiven for her actions.

Additional examples included stealing from a hospital supply closet and cheating on a math exam.

Chelsea Abanathie, junior operations and supply chain

“We encounter [ethical dilemmas] every day in university settings and we need to know how to handle them.”

Chelsea Abanathie, junior operations and supply chain management major

management, who was part of the planning committee and scholarship program, said exploring scenarios such as Maya’s is “essential” to all students because they’re faced with similar issues daily.

“We encounter them every day in university settings and we need to know how to handle them,” Abanathie said.

Michelle Reeson, assistant director of the professional development program and one of three judges for the competition, said that students who want help with improving their morality have other resources.

“Our program that sponsors this event helps students focus on their values and helps them with conflict resolution,” she said.

Students that participated in the raffle drawing won coupons for Mike’s Carwash and Pacesetter’s Sports. The team that won the Ethics Bowl overall, won a coupon for George’s Café or Jimmy John’s.

The Ethics Bowl kicked off the Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility Conference, which takes place at ISU through Thursday. For more information on the conference visit indstate.edu/ethics.

Indiana State recognized among sustainability leaders Indiana State University will be recognized this month as one of 20 colleges and universities working to restabilize the earth’s climate through education, research and community engagement.

The “Celebrating Sustainability” series highlights the sustainability initiatives of finalists for the 2013 Second Nature Climate Leadership Awards.

Second Nature, a national nonprofit that works to create a healthy, just and sustainable society by transforming higher education, will formally recognize ISU on the American College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment and Second Nature websites on April 18.

Indiana State is also vying for the top spot in a public video voting competition.

The university has produced a video that promotes the campus’s sustainability initiatives, and viewers have the opportunity to vote for the most innovative and groundbreaking institution.

Indiana State University has been working toward sustainable solutions since 1989 with its world-class recycling center and conversion from a coal burning boiler facility to an award-winning natural gas boiler facility.

Most recently, the university has stepped up its commitment to sustainability by signing the American

College and University Presidents’ Climate Commitment in 2007, creating a climate action plan, conducting carbon footprint analyses, joining the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education in 2012 and starting on Sustainability Tracking Assessment and Rating System reporting in 2013.

This effort is capped by the university’s dedication to sustainability by funding the Institute for Community Sustainability in February of 2012.

David Hales, president of Second Nature, praised ISU’s initiative to go green.

“It takes commitment of time, will and resources to make inroads on sustainability, and Indiana State University has put forth all of the above with the establishment of its Institute for Community Sustainability,” Hales said.

Jim Speer, director of the Institute for Community Sustainability, said ISU’s investment in sustainability in a “great step forward.”

“This also positions ISU well for being a local leader in sustainability efforts,” he said.

Voting takes place throughout April in partnership with Planet Forward.

While scrolling through my Twitter feed, I stumble upon national park updates, Missouri Valley information, Smithsonian facts and occasional comedic accounts such as Bluthquotes from Arrested Development.

However, more often than not, my feed is clogged with Richelle self-pity, sexual catcalls, Kimble inappropriate lyrics or incongruous personal Socially Awkward information.

Not only do I not care, but I tend to develop a heightened indignation toward these users. It may come as a shock, but I prefer to remain clueless about what you would do to your celebrity crush, that you have an unjust hatred for a specific race or that you prefer canned peas over frozen.

I reckon your future employers aren’t interested, either. Except perhaps while they research and analyze your accounts to ensure that you’re a valuable, strong candidate to represent their business in a professional manner.

In fact, a 2012 Career Builder survey stated that 37 percent of companies use social media to research potential job candidates. One-third of these companies report rejecting a candidate after discovering inappropriate or provocative content.

What most users fail to recognize is that their own personal identity, as well as the institutions with which they affiliate, are represented by what is posted on social media.

Twitter users can be successfully divided into two categories: those who are appropriate and professional and those who are not.

I challenge you to categorize yourself.

No, your drunkard photo with a group of friends in nothing but shamrock boxers and pinstripe suspenders from St. Patrick’s Day is not appropriate.

Neither is your profusion of “yo mamma” jokes posted as status updates.

When did such ill-fated content begin to appear?

According to a report released by The

Social Habit, the percentage of Twitter users that post personal status updates heightened from 47 percent in 2010 to 76 percent in 2012. This statistic shows a strong shift in dynamic; with over three-quarters of Twitter users being active, fewer users are using it for educational or theoretical purposes, and instead posting more personal information.

As stated on it’s website, Twitter advertises its service as “a real-time information network that connects you to the latest stories, ideas, opinions and news about what you find interesting.”

Can we agree that social media outlets, Twitter not being solitary, have spiraled from this ideal mission into a new category filled with overuse and abuse?

I don’t resemble a bitter whore who rebels against any social outlets, nor have I lost faith in the power of these technologies.

Although, I’m not naïve to the consequences of impetuous actions, which

include safety threats, poor representation, negative ramifications, and for some high caliber professionals such as Olympic athletes, being ousted from the games.

Perhaps it will take Lemony Snicket producing a social media version of “A Series of Unfortunate Events” for the public to realize the impact these outlets can have on individual lives or organizations.

Or maybe, we can snip the fuse before the bomb explodes, and resort back to the intended use of these social media sites without a national devastation.

Colleges don’t want you if you’re just a good grade card Throughout high school, we maintained an unyielding gaze upon college, the pinnacle of academia and independence.

To prepare for the college admissions process and the college experience itself, many of us took advanced placement classes and Julian maintained a high GPA. Winborn However, it is well known that a high GPA and a few advanced classes Progress on your transcript is not enough to for gain entry into top tier universities. according to Suzy Lee Weiss, Progress’ But, that’s all she should have needed to Sake gain admission to her top choice schools.

In her recent Wall Street Journal editorial, “To All the Colleges That Rejected Me”, Weiss expresses her extreme distaste for the college admissions process, saying that colleges tell all of us to “just be yourself ” but that advice is only useful if you’re incredibly active having “nine extracurriculars, six leadership positions, three varsity sports [and] killer SAT

scores.”

Weiss continues her stinging critique by assessing diversity. “I offer about as much diversity as a saltine cracker,” she says. And she went on to “congratulate” Senator Elizabeth Warren on her Native American heritage, obviously missing the mark by only referring to diversity in terms of race.

Weiss continued her editorial by assessing the activities that she should have been involved in, rescuing underprivileged chimpanzees in the Congo, among them.

And her point, being that individuals who are not highly active and do not offer any semblance of diversity, is plainly obvious.

Weiss’ assessment is definitely in stark contrast to various publications. In a USA Today Education article on involvement outside of academics, the author states that extracurricular are essential to stand out from the crowd.

After high school, it is blatant that simply earning high grades is not sufficient for anything, at all.

Whether you are applying to internships, jobs, graduate school, law school or scholarships, boasting a stellar 3.8 GPA is not enough because although

your grades may be high, that is of no indication of who you are, what you value, and how bright you actually are.

In order to be competitive in everything that one applies for, they must showcase a breadth of knowledge that goes beyond themselves. Weiss satirically addresses this issue saying “if you don’t have anything difficult going on in your own life, you should just hop on a plane so you’re able to talk about what other people have to deal with.”

And although that statement is dramatized, that is exactly the point. You are of hardly any value to any serious organization if you do not demonstrate knowledge of the world.

Obviously, the key to having a legitimate shot at competing with other applicants is to showcase “well roundedness.”

Building upon your experiences and connecting those experiences to the classroom is essential.

However, if you fail to do so it is of no use to blame the process that denied you.

In the sphere of academia, internships and job hunting, nothing comes to you with little to no effort, a lesson that Weiss obviously has not learned.

Let’s talk about sex, baby When thinking of today’s younger adolescent generation’s sexual practices, we perceive them as a generation who is engaging in sexual activity at younger and younger ages.

But does this young adolescent generation actually engage in these sexual acts that we accuse them of?

Jacob According to a recent study, what Rivers we perceive and what the truth is may Letters to not be the same.

A study involving young My Fish adolescents and their sexual activity has greatly shown the opposite of how we perceive young adolescents.

The study, which was published online on April 1 in Pediatrics, the official journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics, revealed that only 0.6 percent of ten year-olds, 1.1 percent of 11-year-olds and 2.4 percent of 12-year-olds have had sex.

According to CBS News, only about ten percent of girls have sexual intercourse by the age of 14, which shows that the rates have stayed within the

same general vicinity for nearly five decades.

Today, the media over sensualizes teenage sexual behavior by suggesting that adolescents as young as 10 or 11 are engaging in sexual behavior. With this recent study, those claims cannot be supported anymore.

From this study we see that adolescents are using protection such as condoms and birth control diligently as well as waiting longer to engage in sexual activity.

According to these facts, teenage pregnancies are becoming few and far between compared to past decades and generations.

Collectively, as the age increases, the percentage of teens that engage in sexual activity rises as well.

When youth reach the age of 16, nearly 33 percent of them have had sexual intercourse, at age 17 there are 48 percent.

As for 18-and 19-year-olds, 61 and 71 percent have had sex respectively. Negatively, 62 percent of adolescents who had sex at the age of 10 said that they were not willing to, and 50 percent of adolescents of age 11 were not willing as well.

Some good news did come out of the study; many teenagers that are 16 and older are using condoms or birth control. One year after, those teens were asked again and 95 percent of them said they used condoms or birth control.

Unfortunately teens that engaged in sexual intercourse that were 14-years-old or younger were less likely to use condoms and/or birth control and therefore took a longer amount of time to begin using any contraceptives.

Look out world; a sex-conscious generation is emerging today.

Practicing safe sex should be at the utmost importance to everyone who engages in sexual activity. But using contraceptives such as condoms and/or birth control can greatly reduce your chances of getting pregnant as well as decrease your chances of contracting a sexually transmitted disease.

Some sexually transmitted diseases can be life threatening or hurt your reproductive system.

So the next time you and your partner are getting hot and heavy, make sure you wear a condom and be as safe as possible.

We will be doing a cover of Old Crow Medicine Show’s ‘Wagon Wheel,’” Riggs said. “I’ll be playing the guitar and I’ll also be lead vocals. Jacoby will be playing an instrument, which is to remain a surprise, and M.J. has written his own

special verse for the ZTA’s.”

The “Big Man on Campus” event has steadily grown in popularity and success for the past several years. In 2012, the event brought in almost 850 audience members and more than $7,000 in proceeds, nearly double the 2011 proceeds.

Aside from the competition, a silent auction and a guest speaker from the Wabash Valley Susan G. Komen Society are part of this year’s event.

The sorority is also selling T-shirts, tickets and bracelets in the Commons this week.

“I believe that BMOC is so successful because it is an entertaining program that raises money for a cause that so many people hold near and dear to their heart,” Stinson said. “I can’t think of one person I know that breast cancer hasn’t affected in some way, and I believe that by holding an event that is so upbeat and empowering that it makes people energetic to donate to the cause.”

Holocaust survivor, medical test subject challenges ethics of medical experimentation

Ernest Rollins Editor-in-Chief

Medical professionals have a “moral commitment” to remember that their patients are not merely experimental subjects, Holocaust survivor Eva Kor told a group of Indiana State University students and faculty Tuesday.

It is too easy for medical providers who are “walking a narrow thin line” to forget their patients are human beings, Kor said.

As part of the eighth annual Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility Conference, Kor visited the ISU campus to speak about the ethics involved in human experimentation.

Junior operations and supply chain management major Chelsea Abanathie, one of the student organizers for the event, said ethics is an important issue in the medical field and medical researchers sometimes struggle to find the balance between voluntary testing and unethical experimentation on human beings.

Kor said at the age of 10 she accepted that she and her twin sister Miriam were “just a disposable human subject.”

Within 30 minutes of arriving at Auschwitz on a spring day in 1944, Kor and her sister were separated from the rest of their family to be taken to a special area of the camp focused on testing twins. “[We were] just a mass of living, breathing cells,” Kor said. “Our bodies were fodder for Dr. Mengele … It was very easy to die in Auschwitz, surviving was the full-time job.”

Kor and her sister were part of the

“Mengele Twin” genetic experiments at Auschwitz. That resulted in a childhood memories of smoking chimneys and burning flesh, a minimum of five injections per day and starvation for food and human kindness. The same doctors who had taken an oath to save human lives violated that oath, Kor said.

Spending a year of her life as a human test subject has made her keenly aware of the significance of respecting human rights when conducting human experiments.

“I am personally aware of the benefits and the drawbacks of medical science,” Kor said. “Moral commitment needs to be made not to violate human rights.”

While she endured daily physical testing throughout the year she spent in the concentration camp, the emotional damage lasted much longer.

“I was physically liberated in 1945, but liberated myself emotionally in 1995,” Kor said.

Kor said she is not a “religious person” but she embraced forgiveness as a way to liberate herself emotionally.

It was not until she met a Nazi doctor later in life in an environment far away from Auschwitz that she finally began to recognize the need to forgive and offer forgiveness.

Ellen Lamb, junior finance and risk management major and communication and coordination leader of the conference, said Kor’s message is remarkable.

“Kor is a wonderful woman who endured horrors during her time at a

concentration camp,” Lamb said. “After years full of anger and hate, Eva Kor decided to forgive those who wronged her.”

Kor’s willingness to embrace forgiveness led her to open the CANDLES Holocaust Museum in Terre Haute in 1995. According to the CANDLES Holocaust Museum website “the idea for CANDLES originated in 1984 when she [Kor] attended a gathering of Holocaust survivors in Washington, D.C. and met another

survivor of the camp who been involved in experiments.”

The organization currently has about 120 members in different countries around the world.

“If you go into government, if you go into business, ethics are a problem everywhere,” Kor said. “You have to be straightforward, honest and not take advantage [of people] in any field you are going to choose because if you were the person to be treated that way you wouldn’t like it.”

ISU women’s soccer to host third annual charity event Thomas Beeler Sports Editor Indiana State’s women’s soccer team will kick off spring competition with the third annual “Locks of Love” event on Saturday with the first game starting 9 a.m.

Six teams will be playing for Locks of Love charity, an organization that provides hairpieces to financially disadvantaged children suffering from long-term medical hair loss as a side effect of their treatments.

“It’s something that is really important for our kids to get out into the community and help mold better rounded people,” said head women’s soccer coach, Erica True.

During last year’s event, more than 25 individuals from competing teams donated at least 10 inches of their hair.

Since the original Locks of Love event started, the soccer team wanted to help a charity of cause and it continued to grow while donor attendance continued to grow each year, True said.

The team will be accepting hair, hair products and monetary donations that are donated to the Locks of Love organization.

The organization provides prostheses to patients At the third annual Locks of Love event, the ISU’s women’s soccer team will raise money for between the ages of 6 and 21. Ten hairpieces are patients who suffer from medical hair loss. Teams from the University of Kentucky, Purdue provided every 18 months. Each hairpiece requires University, University of Saint Louis, Indiana Wesleyan University, IUPUI and an ISU alumni team will also be taking apart in the event (Photo submitted).

between six and 10 ponytails and takes four to six months to manufacture.

True said this year the event is based around “Kalie’s Story,” a member of the soccer team who will benefit from event proceeds.

“A member of the team does have ties into the program and they will be receiving a hairpiece this year,” True said. “We are actually seeing our work over a couple of years helping this organization will be touching home.”

“The event is based on a lot of college teams coming to play,” True said. “Each of them has a few different spring games. It’s an awesome event and each year we have gotten great teams to come in and always helps the event.”

Admission is $5 for the entire day of games. All proceeds and donations will benefit Locks of Love.

Track and field athletes earn honors after first outdoor meet

Kevin Jenison ISU Athletics Media Relations

Indiana State sophomore Jonathan Jackson and senior Felisha Johnson were named Missouri Valley Conference Athletes of the Week in track and field, the league office announced Tuesday.

Jackson was named the MVC Men’s Track Athlete of the Week after he ran a career best 52.65 seconds to win the 400-meter hurdles at the SIU Bill Cornell Spring Classic Saturday at Southern Illinois (March 30). The time is the eighth fastest in Indiana State history. The top three finishers all came from the fourth heat where Jackson defeated Wisconsin-Milwaukee’s Dexter Schleis (52.88) and Southern Illinois’ Brett Kohler (53.17) to bring home the win.

The sophomore leads the Valley in the event while ranking 36th nationally, 13th in the East, and third in the Great Lakes Region.

ISU baseball trail Bears through 0-3 series

Danny Pfrank ISU Athletic Media Relations

Indiana State’s baseball team was shut out during their series against Missouri State this weekend.

Missouri State blanks Indiana State in series opener, 3-0 Behind redshirt junior Nick Petree’s complete game two-hit shutout, the Missouri State baseball team earned a 3-0 Missouri Valley Conference victory over Indiana State in the series opener between the Sycamores and Bears from Hammons Field Friday in Springfield, Mo. The loss is the second in a row for Indiana State following their five-game winning streak.

The Sycamores drop to an even 11-11 on the season and 3-3 in the Missouri Valley Conference, their fourth consecutive loss after their five-game winning streak. The Bears improved to 18-6 overall, 3-0 in league play.

The Bears broke the scoreless tie in the bottom of the fifth inning, taking advantage of a one-out walk by Travis McComack. Joey Hawkins followed a perfectly placed bunt single on the right side of the infield to put two runners on with one out and both runners would move into scoring position following a passed ball by junior catcher Mike Fitzgerald. With two outs, Tate Matheny chopped a pitch towards junior infielder Tyler Wampler at shortstop, but Matheny beat out the play for an infield RBI single as McComack scored for a 1-0 MSU lead.

Junior Sean Manaea, 3-2, pitched into the eighth inning on Friday, tossing 7.1 innings and allowing three runs (two earned) on six hits with five strikeouts.

Missouri State added two insurance runs in the bottom of the eighth, as Matt Dezort and Patrick Drake recorded back-to-back RBIs as the Bears loaded the bases in the inning.

Indiana State tallied just two hits off Petree, a one-out single by senior out fielder Casey McCurdy in the second and a leadoff single by redshirt senior infielder Koby Kraemer in the seventh. Petree struck out a season high ten batters in his nine innings on the mound.

Sycamores fall to Bears in game two, 5-1 The Indiana State baseball team dropped it’s third straight game on Saturday, as the Missouri State Bears clinched the series win with a 5-1 Missouri Valley Conference victory at Hammons Field.

Missouri State took the lead in the third inning, getting it’s offense going behind a leadoff double by Travis McComack. The Bears moved McComack to third with a sacrifice bunt and Tate Matheny plated the runner with two outs on a single to center.

Indiana State hit into some early tough luck on Saturday, as the Sycamores grounded into three double plays in the game’s first four innings.

The Sycamores scored for the first time in the series in the top half of the sixth inning, tying the game at 1-1. Sophomore outfielder Landon Curry singled up the middle with one out and moved to third when junior infielder Cody Zimmerman’s fly ball to center was lost in the sun

by Matheny.

Senior in/outfielder Robby Ort picked up the RBI, hitting his team-leading fifth sacrifice fly of the season into foul territory down the left field line.

Missouri State took advantage of three Sycamore errors in the seventh inning, scoring four times to take a 5-1 lead. Two runs scored in the inning on a base hit through the right side of the infield off the bat of Matheny to put MSU in front, before Luke Voit added two more runs with a two-run single to center.

Indiana State had entered the game without an error over the last five games, with just three miscues over their previous nine games.

Senior pitcher Devin Moore took the loss, allowing four runs (two earned) on four hits over six innings with four strikeouts. Junior Kurt Kudrecki pitched the final two innings, fanning a pair of batters. Jonathan Harris improved to 5-0 on the season for MSU, allowing four hits and one unearned run over eight innings.

Zimmerman led ISU with a 1-for-2 effort at the plate, singling in the sixth while also drawing two walks.

Indiana State scores seven in the ninth, Bears rally back for extra-inning victory, 8-7 The Indiana State baseball team scored seven runs in the top half of the ninth inning to take a 7-4 lead over the Missouri State Bears, but the Sycamores could not hold the lead as

the Bears rallied back for three runs in the bottom half of the inning and completed the series sweep in the bottom of the 11th inning for a 8-7 victory.

Zimmerman tallied Indiana State’s first extra-base hit of the weekend, sending a RBI-double into the gap in right-center to plate Curry from first base to start the ISU rally.

After a single by Ort put runners on the corners, Kraemer doubled to deep centerfield to bring home ISU’s second run of the inning.

After redshirt sophomore in/outfielder Jacob Hayes was hit by a pitch to load the bases, junior outfielder Owen Conway tied the game with a single down the left field line, plating Ort and Kraemer. Fitzgerald provided the go-ahead hit, sending a three-run home run down the left field line that landed just above the 315-foot marking near the foul pole.

Missouri State rallied in the ninth, however, as Conor Smith and Keenen Maddox hit backto-back doubles off junior Josh Dove following a leadoff walk to cut the ISU lead to 7-6.

Redshirt junior Tyler Browning entered the game and struck out a batter before Joey Hawkins singled to right to put runners on the corners.

MSU tied the game as Browning was called for a balk. Conway sent the game into extra innings with a great throw from left field, as his throw home paired with a nice block of the plate by Fitzgerald got Hawkins to end the inning.

The Bears completed the weekend sweep in the bottom half of the 11th inning as Travis McComack doubled to deep right-center to plate Hawkins from second base.

Junior infielder Daniel Peterson started for Indiana State, allowing two run on eight hits over 6.2 innings on the mound with a season-high nine strikeouts. Junior A.J. McElderry took the loss in the 11th.

Indiana State is back in action on today, as the Sycamores travel to West Lafayette for an in-state matchup with the Purdue Boilermakers.
