North Lot outside of HMSU changes to faculty lot Stephanie Burns Reporter

The North Pay Station Visitor Lot has been converted into a faculty/staff parking lot as of March 30.

Some may find this change frustrating, but the decision was made due to the renovation of the College of Health and Human Services building.

Violations for parking in

the lot without proper authorization began April 4.

The change was made to accommodate construction of a $64 million renovation and expansion of the College of Health and Human Services building.

The construction, which includes improvements to air quality and temperature control as well as an update to the technology inside the building, will

begin this summer.

It is currently unknown whether the change to the North Lot will be a permanent one or not.

Chief of university police Joe Newport said a decision about the change will be made once the renovation is complete.

The decision to change the North Lot to a faculty/ staff parking lot was made by the Parking and Traffic

Offices, Facilities Management and Public Safety.

“There were a number of options discussed. This was one of several decided upon,” Newport said.

Changes to other parking areas could occur with future renovation projects, but there are no other parking changes currently planned.

There are some alternative options available

for those who frequently used the North Pay Station Visitor Lot. Lot K, west of Third Street, has been expanded to accommodate for the change to the North Lot. There is also an area with parking meters near the West Fire Lane, which is located close to Mills Hall.

Other options include the Parking Garage at Seventh and Cherry Streets

and a pay lot at Seventh Street and Larry Bird Avenue.

Newport said he recognizes the impact that the change to the parking lot may have on some of the visitors to HMSU. “With any parking lot designation change, there are people displaced,” Newport said. “We apologize for these inconveniences.”

Indiana State, YMCA co-host STEM & FIT spring break camp for Vigo County students Betsy Simon

ISU Communications and Marketing

Spring break was a time for brushing up on lessons in measuring angles and mass and inspiring young minds from the Vigo County School Corp. to live healthier lives at the YMCA Spring Break Camp.

Co-hosted by Indiana State University — Nonprofit Leadership Alliance Certification Program and YMCAs of the Wabash Valley — Vigo County Branch, the spring break day camp at the YMCA saw participation from 50 children, ages 4-14.

During first semester of the Experience Management Cycle course, around 35 Indiana State students started program evaluation planning, logic modeling, program budgeting and promotion and in December and January worked on activity leadership and program plan-

ning so the program could be conducted and data collection could begin, March 28-April 1.

No amount of textbook material beats the opportunity for hands-on experience like Indiana State’s students got from helping host the spring break camp, said Cameron Diekhoff, a junior recreation management and youth leadership major from Terre Haute.

“We’ve been working the whole school year to put this camp on, and I think it’s gone really well,” Diekhoff said. “It’s a lot harder to work with kids than you might think, but it’s also a lot of fun, and I think everybody is learning a lot from this experience.”

Students reconstructed the recreation experience management cycle for YMCAs of the Wabash Valley, focusing on the organization’s human and community development mission and the desired psychological outcomes of

The students’ service engagement experience was created and facilitated by their co-instructors Nathan Schaumleffel, associate professor of kinesiology, recreation, and sport and campus/executive director of the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance Certification Program, and Steve Smidley, assistant professor of kinesiology, recreation, and sport and director of the Center for Recreation Management at Indiana State.

Schaumleffel created this mutually-beneficial strategic partnership based on his book “Cooperate: Advancing Your Nonprofit Organization’s Mission Through College and Community Partnerships: A Guide for Non-

profit Leaders.”

Indiana State recreation and sport management students, and Nonprofit Leadership Alliance students, helped host the camp 8-11 a.m. Monday through Friday, plus a family night on Friday, with many of the students volunteering their time outside of time required for their class.

Students designed activities, like tic-tac-toe relays, and followed up each day with a debriefing session, where the group discussed and evaluated the day based on the learning outcomes of the course.

“Ultimately, we want our students to leave this project with the ability to simultaneously maintain physical and emotional safety, enhance leisure, client, and caregiver/parent satisfaction, and make measurable, impactful progress on improving STEM and health-related

Mental health advocates are pressing Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill not to abandon a push to modernize the nation’s ailing mental health system amid rising partisan tensions over President Barack Obama’s Supreme Court pick.

The effort has picked up crucial bipartisan support in the Senate and galvanized dozens of groups representing patients, physicians, and state and local leaders. The Obama administration has also backed calls for reform, proposing more than $500 million in new federal spending to expand mental health services nationwide.

But election-year politics and uncertainty over funding are fueling concerns that years of collaborative work by lawmakers from both parties may not bear fruit.

“We don’t often get opportunities like this,” warned Paul Gionfriddo, president of Mental Health America, a leading national advocate. “This is the year for action.”

An estimated one in five Americans suffered from a mental illness in the last year, according to federal data. Nearly 10 million people have a serious disease such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder.

But the U.S. has long had a patchwork system of mental health care that leaves tens of millions of people without access to vital services. By one estimate, more than half of U.S. adults with a mental illness do not receive treatment.

Inadequate community services and too few psychiatric hospitals are widely seen as major factors in epidemic levels of homelessness and incarceration among the mentally ill.

“Our mental health system is broken,” said Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., who is among a bipartisan group of senators pushing to modernize the system.

The Senate Health Committee has advanced a package of bills that, among other things, should strengthen a 2008 law that requires health insurers to cover mental health services at the same level they cover treatments for physical health conditions.

The so-called parity law extended new protections to the mentally ill, but minimal enforcement by state and federal regulators has left in place substantial barriers for patients with mental health and substance abuse conditions, advocates say.

NEWS Military wants to 3-D print robots, drones, spare parts Page 2

Ian Duncan

The Baltimore Sun (TNS)

Say you’re a soldier sent on a mission into hostile territory. You’d like to have a drone to keep an eye out for ambushes. Maybe there’s one on hand, but it’s not quite right for the job.

Or maybe there’s nothing available at all.

Researchers at Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland want to help, and they think 3-D printing is the answer.

By giving soldiers kits of electronic parts, and equipping bases with the printers, they envision a future in which troops in the field could build their own drones in a matter of hours.

It’s already possible to print a drone in a day. Eric Spero, an engineer at the Army Research Laboratory, said the approach would enable units in the field to adapt on the go.

“Going from nothing to a flying vehicle within 24 hours is pretty amazing,” Spero said.

The 3-D-printed drone is just one example of how the emerging manufacturing technology is letting commanders rethink how they equip troops. Officials hope that printing gear will give front-line fighters more say in the equipment they carry, make it easier and far cheaper to repair aging vehicles, and minimize the impact when enemies cut supply lines.

And by enabling the military to make what it needs in-house, the technology also has the potential to reshape the relationship between defense contractors and the government.

Navy Capt. Frank Futcher, who is working to make 3-D printing widely available to sailors, foresees systems deployed on ships around the world, churning out parts on demand.

“It’s transformative,” he said. “We need to stay ahead of the curve and figure out how we’re going to implement this as quickly as possible.”

The technology can cut both ways. While there is interest across the military in the potential for printing, its adoption by America’s enemies and rivals could present major challenges.

Retired Marine Col. T.X. Hammes, a researcher at the National Defense University, said the combination of 3-D printing and other technologies, such as cheap cellphones and more powerful explosives, could cut into the advantage offered by fighter jets or submarines that cost tens or hundreds of millions of dollars.

“All of these things are coming together very, very quickly, and that changes power structures,” Hammes said.

In a recent paper, Hammes said a 3-D printing plant could cheaply churn out tens of thousands of drones a day, which could be used as

flying bombs guided by cellphones to strike U.S. aircraft sitting on runways. The printers would not only build the drones, but make it much easier to manufacture a key component used in improvised explosive devices.

“It shifts the power,” he said. “How do you protect every airfield in the world?”

The ability to print objects in three dimensions — more properly called additive manufacturing — has been around since the 1980s. But patents have expired in recent years, unleashing a wave of innovation.

Commercial printers, available for a few hundred dollars each, squirt hot plastic layer by layer to build up an object.

“Think of it as building a loaf of bread one slice at a time,” said Brad Ruprecht, a technician at the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center at Aberdeen Proving Ground.

In a space once used to teach soldiers how to maintain vehicles, Ruprecht oversees a collection of large and much more sophisticated 3-D printers.

In one room, there’s a machine that works like an inkjet printer. It can print in several shapes and materials at once. It uses ultraviolet light to turn liquids solid, forming layers much thinner than a human hair. Last month, its printing head moved back and forth as a gas mask emerged beneath.

A machine nearby used lasers to turn powdered nylon into strong bars of solid plastic. Motors whined as mirrors fluttered backward and forward to guide the laser melting the plastic. A roller pushed a fresh layer of powder over the top, before the laser made another pass.

Elsewhere, a pair of machines shot laser beams into a pool of plastic goo, turning liquid into solid parts for a model vehicle.

The engineers at the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center have had access to the printers for decades, but branch chief Rick Moore said demand for the quick turnaround jobs for which the machines are suited has boomed in recent years.

“After 9/11, things changed, and we had our hands in a lot of different projects,” he said.

The Edgewood team used 3-D printing to help build a system to destroy a stockpile of chemical weapons in Syria, to make a prototype kit for detecting bomb-making materials that is now being used in the field, and to design a gadget for reading medical test results.

The Navy has also been exploring the possibilities. Futcher said mobile labs are deployed on three ships, getting sailors used to the idea of designing their own parts. In one case, the Navy printed molds for metal filters to go on torpedo tubes. Be-

fore 3-D printing, they had been cannibalizing parts from decommissioned submarines.

Currently, the use of 3-D printing is limited mostly to the design phase of a new product or making spare parts. The printers in some cases are still slower than traditional manufacturing methods, the size of parts is limited by the size of the printer and the layering means the finished product can have weaknesses.

The Air Force has shown that some parts of a rocket engine can be printed.

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins University are testing whether they perform as well as the components currently in use.

“We’ve got a little bit of figuring out to do,” said Peter Zeender, a researcher at Hopkins’ Whiting School of Engineering.

Defense industry analysts said 3-D printing is still a ways off from upending how the military shops. But contractors are thinking through the implications. Military officials and business leaders plan to meet this spring to figure out how the military

would buy data to print urgently needed parts.

Mark Vitale, a consultant at Deloitte, which is to be involved in the session, described the underlying concept as “let’s replace inventory with information.”

The technology is growing more sophisticated.

One approach that has Ruprecht and Moore excited would be much faster and essentially do away with the layers; another uses robotic arms to make much bigger parts. Engineers are looking at how 3-D printing can be used to make finished products.

Scott Thompson, an aerospace and defense expert at the consulting firm PwC, said the military will likely be able to design and build small systems on its own, but won’t be able to cut contractors out completely.

“When it comes to major weapons systems, they still need the major contractors’ engineering talent,” he said.

Pennsylvania governor signs orders for LGBT protections Anna Douglas

and transgender people from state anti-discrimination legal protections — Wolf, a Democrat, signed two executive orders Thursday extending equal protection under Pennsylvania law to LGBT state employees.

“What happened in North Carolina, and what is going on in other states, should be a call to pass nondiscrimination legislation in Pennsylvania now,” Wolf said in a statement.

“I call on the General Assembly to swiftly put legislation on my desk that ensures that people throughout the common-

wealth — regardless of sexual orientation, gender expression or identity — are treated equally under Pennsylvania law,” he said.

Beyond new legal protections for employees of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, Wolf also signed an executive order related to nondiscrimination in the “grants and procurement process,” according to his office.

Wolf ’s statement and action come as at least one political group in Pennsylvania this week started a campaign against legislation that’s been pending for months in the state to

include LGBT as a class protected against discrimination.

Pennsylvania’s LGBT advocacy group Equality PA says the socially conservative group Pennsylvania Family Institute is spreading misinformation about the pending Pennsylvania Fairness Act, by “bringing discrimination from North Carolina to Pennsylvania.”

The Pennsylvania Family Institute is calling on people to protest the Pennsylvania Fairness Act and claims the proposed legislation is a “bathroom bill” that would violate privacy

in restrooms and locker rooms.

Wolf is one of several elected officials nationwide who are taking action or publicly opposing laws such as those in North Carolina and Mississippi.

Major businesses and CEOs, including PayPal in Charlotte, also have publicly criticized the exclusion of LGBT people from discrimination protection.

The predictions only get worse.

In 2007, a United Nations panel of scientists studying the rise of sea level related to climate change predicted that, if nothing was done to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, seas could rise by about 2 feet by 2100. By 2013, the panel had increased its forecast to more than 3 feet, which would put major cities at risk of flooding and storm surge.

Yet all along, the panel emphasized what it did not know. It expressed particular uncertainty about what could happen to the ice sheet in Antarctica. To help fill in the gaps, it invited outside scientists to contribute their own research.

Now the outside research is bearing fruit — and the news is not good.

A new study published in the journal “Nature” painted perhaps the most ominous picture yet. It showed that, by the end of this century, sea levels could rise 6 feet or more — again, if nothing is done to reduce emissions — potentially inundating many coastal areas, submerging nations and remaking maps of the world.

The study focused on one of the most elusive aspects of sea-level science: What will happen to the West Antarctic ice sheet?

Scientists have long believed the ice sheet would melt from climate change and contribute to higher sea levels. But they believed that the melting, and rising sea levels it would cause, could occur over many hundreds or even thousands of years.

The new study, by Robert DeConto, a geoscientist at the University of Massachusetts at Amherst, and David Pollard, a geoscientist at Pennsylvania State University, based its finding on models it developed from studying ancient sea level and temperature changes. The scientists found that drastic sea level rise could happen within a lifetime.

As alarming as the study may have seemed to the public and to policymakers, Benjamin Horton, a coastal geologist at Rutgers University in New Jersey who studies sea level, said it did not surprise many people in his field.

In 2013, Horton led a survey of almost 100 sea level scientists that concluded that seas could rise almost 4 feet by 2100 — higher than the United Nations panel’s worst scenario. But within that group, 13 scientists said there was a 17 percent chance that sea levels would rise by 6.6 feet, a figure in line with the study.

Why has it been so hard to predict sea level change?

Predicting changes involves measuring and modeling several different factors that then have to be blended together, Horton said. Those elements include an increase in volume from expansion caused by warming water, the melting of glaciers in places such as Alaska and the melting of ice sheets in places such as Greenland and Antarctica. Measuring sea changes from the first two, he said, is much easier than measuring what the vast ice sheets are doing.

indianastatesman.com HEALTH FROM PAGE 1 tion also is designed to ease communication between health providers and families of mentally ill patients by clarifying privacy protections in federal law.

And the bills would push the federal Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration to more rigorously analyze whether programs the agency funds are working.

Angela Kimball, policy director for the National Alliance on Mental Illness, said the legislation represents “a significant step in the right direction.”

The legislative push has also attracted unusually broad support from Democrats and Republicans.

The Senate mental health bill — developed by a group of lawmakers including Senate Health Committee Chairman Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., and its senior Democrat, Patty Murray of Washington — drew unanimous support in the committee last month.

“This is an incredibly important bipartisan foundation,” said Sen. Christopher S. Murphy, D-Conn., one of the architects of the

The camp offered John Steward, a junior recreation and sport management major from Terre Haute, the chance to see the impact he can make on young people.

“It reassured my motivation for why I’m choosing to work with youth as my profession because I love seeing the youth experience ‘fun’ in healthy, educating, and safe settings. Plus, I know if I was still a youth of their age, I would’ve loved to spend a week with college students who took the time to work so diligently to lead an outcome based program,” Steward said. “Though the games and interactions were fun, I’m thankful that this day camp was so much more than fun. It was a life experience that has a positive impact on both myself and the participants.”

The students will spend the rest of the semester analyzing, reporting, visualizing, and presenting the program evaluation data to the YMCA, and other internal and external stakeholders. The students plan to present their program evaluation findings to the YMCA in April.

legislation.

But many say substantially more is needed.

“We are hoping Congress embraces much wider reforms,” Kimball said.

“Congress could show its ability to not only forge bipartisan agreement, but also act expansively and decisively.”

Most pressing, advocates say, is more money for community-based services such as mental health clinics, housing and crisis response teams.

“These are the services that enable people to have better lives,” said Jennifer Mathis, program director at the Bazelon Center for Mental Health Law. “They also save money,” she added, noting that jailing mentally ill patients or treating them in emergency rooms or psychiatric hospitals after they have a breakdown is far more costly.

In response to a question about the need for more money, Alexander said the Senate Appropriations Committee would have to consider funding later this spring.

But he made no commitments.

Last month, Senate Republicans rejected calls to

appropriate new money for drug treatment programs, even as lawmakers passed a sweeping bill to respond to the widening epidemic of heroin and opioid abuse.

The environment in the House may be even more challenging for mental health legislation.

Although House Speaker Paul D. Ryan, R-Wis., has signaled interest in advancing a reform bill, a House version of the Senate bill has been stalled for months, in part over opposition from some GOP lawmakers to increased funding.

At the same time, the House Budget Committee last month approved a budget blueprint that would slash federal spending by about $6.5 trillion over the next decade, including rolling back Medicaid health insurance coverage for millions of poor Americans.

Medicaid — which was expanded under the 2010 Affordable Care Act, also known as Obamacare — is the single largest payer for mental health services in the country.

County YMCA. “Being able to sponsor the spring break camp with Indiana State helps to elevate the quality of the program and lets parents know that their kids are getting a good academic experience while they’re here.”

The camp was also an opportunity for Indiana State students to shine before a possible employer or internship supervisor.

During the camp, based on performance, Schaumleffel and Smidley’s students were offered internships and paid summer positions related to their major and career goals. One student was hired on the spot to work the rest of Spring Break Camp.

“These kids learn a lot in their classes, but they don’t really know what it’s like until they’re in a setting like this where they’re asked to put their classroom lessons to practice with real kids. I hope this is an experience that they will look back on and say that they can do this,” Ramseier said. “I really love seeing how the YMCA, ISU and the Vigo County schools were able to collaborate and host this camp for the benefit of the kids so that they have a healthy place to go over spring break.”

There was a lot for the students to learn from through hands-on experience like this, said Jessica Wireman, youth coordinator for the YMCAs of the

Wabash Valley.

“Working with kids is sometimes unpredictable, so the ISU students are getting firsthand experience at what it’s like when things don’t always go as you planned,” she said.

“This is the first time that the YMCA has hosted this camp, so I’m impressed by how many children we have participating.”

Since August, the students have been preparing for the camp by reinforcing the Boy Scouts of America Youth Protection Standards, Child Abuse Prevention Guidelines, maintaining the proper adult to participant ratios for supervision as recommended by the American Camp Association, complying with YMCA policies and integrating ageappropriate activities and communication styles.

“Many of these students will wind up being program directors at Y’s, Boys and Girls Clubs, youth sports, parks and recreation departments, afterschool programs and summer camps,” Schaumleffel said. “Right now, they’re learning how to be program leaders who can lead with intentionality to program outcomes and an organizational mission, which is critical to their developments and aspirations to be program coordinators, volunteer manager, and executive directors of recreation and nonprofit organizations.”

ICE FROM PAGE 2 What has helped improved our understanding of how ice sheets melt?

Satellite technology and imagery had made it easier to understand what is happening above and below the West Antarctic ice sheet, Horton said.

“These ice sheets have this double whammy,” he said. “They’re heated at the surface from air temperature and they’re heated at the base from ocean temperatures.

the article said. “This can set off a chain reaction that breaks up ice shelves and causes newly exposed ice cliffs to collapse under their own weight.”

How much water do the ice sheets hold?

Horton said that the Greenland ice sheet contains enough ice to raise sea levels 6 meters, or more than 20 feet, if they completely melted. Antarctica holds much more ice, enough to raise seas 65 meters, or more than 200 feet. But this extreme scenario could happen only over thousands of years.

What can be done?

Even as the study released this week predicted potential catastrophe, it also emphasized that the West Antarctic ice sheet probably would cause little change in sea level if temperature increases can be held under 2 degrees Celsius. That is a central

goal of the climate agreement reached in Paris in December, though it is far from clear that countries will achieve it.

The obvious solution, Horton said, is to move quickly away from burning fossil fuels that contribute to climate change and rapidly expand solar, wind and other renewable forms of energy.

“We have a choice right now,” he said. “If we strongly mitigate against greenhouse gases, we can keep the sea level rise to a manageable level. These papers are not all doom and gloom. They are providing a warning and we as a scientific community are trying to stress the urgency on climate change.

“This is a dire warning, a dire prediction, but we can do something about it.”

FEATURES Finding a spot in campus lots

Rileigh Roberson Reporter

Parking at Indiana State University is typically a hot topic of conversation among students and even faculty and staff.

Many at ISU believe the number of parking spaces made available to them is not enough.

“As a student with a parking permit, I find it very difficult to find a spot when returning to campus,” freshman student

Broaden your horizons with the Heritage Day Fair

Emily Davis said.

Lori Elkin, director of public safety for traffic and parking services, assures students that there are plenty of parking spaces on campus. “(The lots are) just not conveniently located next to the buildings,” Elkins said.

The remote lots are those located on the outskirts of campus.

“Lot K at first and Chestnut has been expanded to accommodate 200 addi-

tional vehicles,” Elkins said.

“I wish (parking) wasn’t an issue since we all pay a pretty hefty amount for parking passes,” sophomore student Carmen Kyrouac said.

Although Kyrouac says she often has a tough time finding a parking spot, she believes it is worth it to pay for a standard student parking pass rather than a remote pass.

Other students, however, have been considering making the switch to a

remote pass because of the lack of spaces available in the standard student lots.

Davis said she believes creating a lot specifically for commuting students would be beneficial since they are often the students who have so much trouble finding available parking spaces.

“I realize parking is an issue, and it could easily be taken away for freshmen,” Davis said. “I feel it would be difficult for freshmen to accept, but it would be ben-

eficial in terms of our parking issue.”

At many other universities in Indiana, parking is a privilege that freshman students do not get to enjoy.

Construction at ISU has also been an issue that has affected parking for students. A parking lot near Hulman Memorial Student Union has recently been converted from a pay lot to a staff lot because of construction on the College of Health and Human

Services.

“When construction projects are planned, discussions are held concerning the impact on parking and plans to ease the strain of lost spaces are developed,” Elkins said.

Davis believes that if the number of parking passes sold was limited more, this could help solve the problem as well.

“They should ensure there are enough parking spots for everyone who owns a permit,” Davis said.

Canoe fun

Mustafa Mustafa Reporter

Heritage can be such a broad term; it can be someone’s history, it could be what they inherited from their elders and it could even be the meals they cook.

The heritage represented at Indiana State University is beautiful; it ranges from the daily activities of domestic American students to the attire of foreign students.

The week of the Cultural Heritage Festival is a time for everyone to display their heritage with pride and learn more about others’ cultures.

There is a variety of events throughout the week, with something for everyone including a soccer tournament for the sport fans, a dance night for the lovers, an anime night, a panel for those wanting to dispel thoughts of Islamophobia.

For those looking for more physical fun there is a canoe tug of war, an African Hospitality hour along with an International cooking demonstration is made for those wanting to taste and make new types of meals.

Pam Tabor, an International Student Adviser with the Center for Global Engagement, looks forward to the event.

“Heritage festival is a week of events that go on, they are designed to highlight various aspects of heritage. Whether it be the favorite sports of different cultures,” Tabor said.

“We try to present events that give focus in the ISU and Terre Haute communities a chance to learn about other cultures.

Every album Elvis ever made, and then some, the stars of new 60-CD box set Randy Lewis

Los Angeles Times(TNS)

Most people who know anything about Elvis Presley know that his career ignited in 1954 with his recording of the old Arthur “Big Boy” Crudup blues song “That’s All Right.”

It became a signature number in his live shows, and it was something fans always waited for in the last years of his life during his seemingly endless stream of concerts in Las Vegas.

Yet it was several years before anyone living outside the vicinity of Memphis, Tennessee, where he recorded that number at Sam Phillips’ Sun Studio, knew anything about “That’s All Right.” “‘That’s All Right’ is widely acknowledged as the beginning of the explosion of his career,” said

John Jackson, senior vice president of A&R (artist development) for Sony’s Legacy Recordings catalog division, which has just released “Elvis Presley — The Album Collection,” a monstrous 60-CD box set containing all 57 albums released by his label, RCA Records, during Presley’s lifetime.

It also includes three CDs of rare tracks, alternate takes and other bonus material from the ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s. “‘That’s All Right,’” Jackson noted, “was released to the public originally as a single from the small Memphis label Sun Records. It sold about 20,000 copies. It didn’t come out to the public at large until 1959, on (RCA’s) ‘Something for Everybody’ album, a compilation the label put together because Elvis was in the Army and

they thought, ‘Hey, let’s put something out.’

“It was on a compilation of singles that had already come out and sold millions, songs like ‘Heartbreak Hotel’ and ‘Jailhouse Rock.’ I can’t imagine what impact it might have had as sort of a leftover dropped in among those huge hits.”

The new box set follows Sony Legacy’s release of every track Presley recorded officially — all 711 of them — on the 30-CD box set “The Complete Elvis Presley Masters” in 2010.

That project put his recording career into chronological order — a drastically different sequence compared to how those songs were originally released to the public.

Several of the songs Presley recorded with Phillips at Sun in 1954 and 1955, for instance, were dribbled out on RCA albums for several

years after the label bought his contract from Phillips — for the then-astronomical price of $35,000 (plus a $5,000 signing bonus to Presley).

“We’re pretty much constantly working on the Elvis catalog,” said Jackson, who earned a college degree in rock music history and wrote his thesis on Presley’s career.

He had joined Legacy in 1998, at which point the label had nothing to do with Presley’s music.

But a corporate merger in 2004 brought the RCA catalog under the Sony umbrella, a serendipitous development that couldn’t have made Jackson happier.

“His masters are well represented everywhere,” Jackson said, “but the idea here was to have all the original albums in tip-top shape for digital, for downloading and for CD, rather

than just doing a few at a time. This is the first time all the album masters have been up to the same quality at one time. We’ve gone back and done them all over again, from scratch, for this package for the hi-res audio providers, for the ‘Mastered for iTunes’ program, for Spotify and all the streaming services.

This is not a piecemeal exercise.”

The CD set, which is selling for around $250 on Amazon — about $4 per CD — is timed to coincide with the 60th anniversary of the original release of Presley’s first RCA album, “Elvis Presley.”

It includes a 300-page small-format book with pages devoted to each release, including song titles, songwriter and musician credits and other relevant archival information.

“What really comes

across, more than just the music,” Jackson said, “is the marketing and the promotion of Elvis as a famous person. You see how sometimes they would include a new poster: Here’s a picture of what he’s up to in Germany (during his two-year stint in the Army), here’s a fold-down calendar with the date circled of when he’s coming home from Germany, here’s a picture of him in concert for all the people around the world who couldn’t go see him perform live.

“Everything was one large idea to the colonel (Presley’s manager, Col. Tom Parker) and RCA Records. Sometimes the music wound up suffering, but he continued to come back by recording great tracks along the way.”

One intriguing example:

New presenters of science programs help to create catalysts for thought Robert Lloyd

Los Angeles Times (TNS)

Science!

I do not have a head for it, but I do have love for it.

Practically, I profit from it; philosophically, I endorse it; personally, I enjoy it.

Curiosity, inquiry and a willingness to be proved wrong, to bow to the better explanation when it comes along — these are tonics against the inflexible fundamentalism, the epidemic unthinking, that makes the world a shakier place.

And so I have been taking comfort and inspiration from what seems to be a great flowering of science-themed programming, much of it on the Internet, where subjects that mainstream commercial television dubs “not for everyone” may take root and flourish.

Apart from PBS, home to “Nova” and “Nature,” and some dedicated (or halfdedicated) cable networks like National Geographic Channel, Science and Discovery, television tends to like its science fictional.

And while science fiction is a known gateway to a career in serious science and can be similarly stimulating, the workings of the nonfictional universe are more profoundly exciting and all the more amazing

ELVIS, FROM PAGE 4 10 songs into the soundtrack for Presley’s 1966 car-racing movie “Spinout,” lurking among pedestrian numbers such as “Adam and Evil,” “Beach Shack” and “Smorgasbord,” is his version of Bob Dylan’s “Tomorrow Is a Long Time.”

Among the book’s 52 pages of session information detailing each of his stints in a recording studio, it shows that during three days in 1957, amid recording songs for “Elvis’ Christmas Album,” he also knocked out two soon-tobe hit singles, “Treat Me Nice” and “Don’t.”

“He was always looking to record songs he liked,” Jackson said, even

FAIR, FROM PAGE 4 We do things like the international cooking demonstration that goes on, and we also have an international dance party,” Tabor said.

They are made for everyone, with around 100 members of the community and approximately 200250 students in attendance at past Heritage Day fairs.

The events of the week are sponsored by the Division of Student Affairs and the Center for Global Engagement with organi-

for being, you know, real.

For many, science can seem a world apart — unintelligible, even evil.

Tom Swift notwithstanding, the scientists of popular fiction tend to be awkward, eccentric, on the spectrum, troubled, overreaching or insane.

Their insights often have disastrous ends — paging Dr. Frankenstein — which, of course, has often been the case with real-world science. (Gunpowder, atom bombs, DDT … it’s a long and lengthening list.)

It is not a wholly new character, the cool, attractivist scientist: consider Carl Sagan, Brian Cox, Brian Greene, Neil deGrasse.

But the new school of science presenters, the Mr. and Ms. Wizards and Science Guys and Girls of the 21st century, children of an age in which nerdiness became kind of sexy, trend younger.

If they are less impressively credentialed than their predecessors — who did science, sometimes groundbreaking, before and besides talking about it — the best have a similar gift for communication, for translation, for making complicated ideas comprehensible. (At least while they’re speaking; you may need to revisit the material later.)

Some have millions of

subscribers, some millions fewer.

But they share what an older person would call a youthful enthusiasm. The material is not just educational or uplifting but exciting in a way native to the platform.

Many include animations; some have songs.

They can run from anywhere to a few minutes to a quarter of an hour or longer.

They are colorful, fast and funny; the impulse is to take them in fistfuls, like popcorn. But you can’t be mindless — you have to pay attention as idea builds upon idea. Information comes at a clip. It wakes you up.

My doorway into this particular corner of cyberspace was a series called “It’s Okay to Be Smart,” written and hosted by Dr. Joe Hanson and part of the PBS Digital Studios channel.

“My mission in life is to tell the world about the awesomeness of ALL THE SCIENCE,” Hanson — one of the hosts of PBS’ multiplatform “Big Blue” special from Monterey Bay last August — has written.

Subjects covered on his webcast range from “The Physics of Space Battles” to “The Science of Kissing” to “Why People Don’t Believe in Climate Science.”

though, especially early on, the fare offered to Presley was drastically limited

by Parker’s insistence that songwriters share their publishing royalties with Presley and Parker’s music publishing firm.

In some cases, signature tracks that weren’t included on studio albums — a practice common in the 1950s and even through much of the ‘60s — have been added to the appropriate records. The original studio recording of Presley’s 1969 hit “Suspicious Minds,” for instance, didn’t appear on an album until the “Elvis Gold Records, Volume 5” compilation in 1984, seven years after his death at age 42.

Jackson is part of a team that also includes

producer-engineer Ernst Jorgensen, who has done much to restore order to the chaos RCA subjected Presley’s recorded legacy to in the years immediately after his death, and Roger Seamon.

During the ‘70s, Jackson notes, “It must have been genuinely confusing for fans. There are more than a dozen albums where the cover shows him in a white jumpsuit against a black background. Is it new studio stuff? Is it live stuff? Is it a mixture? What is this stuff? At the time, I don’t think it bothered them, but I think it would have been very confusing to people.”

zations such as the Indian Student Association, the Hispanic Student Association, the African Student Union, the Muslim Student Association, the Saudi Student Association, Baptist Christian Ministries, Chinese Student and Scholar Association and the International Students Leadership Council.

“The best way to break down barriers between people is to get to know them,” Tabor said.

If anyone were to look for an interesting event to attend then they have

come to the right place.

“You get to sample the hospitality, food, music and fashion of people from all around the world.

It’s generally a wonderful time, you get to sample great flavors and meet lots of interesting people.”

The Heritage Day fair takes place on Saturday from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. at Dede I. Another event, the Brazilian Coffee house, will take place Friday at 6 p.m. and the African Global Night on Saturday 6 p.m. at University Hall.

Also under the PBS Digital Studios umbrella are “Physics Girl,” hosted by Dianna Cowern (“Yeah, quarks are awesome”); Anna Rothschild’s “Gross Science,” which has included segments on “What’s Living on your Contact Lenses?” and “How Different Diseases Make You Smell”; and “Crash Course” from superstar vloggers Hank and John Green.

Elsewhere, Hank hosts “SciShow,” and John is one of three hosts of its spinoff, “SciShow Space.” (There’s a “SciShow Kids” too.)

The new science presenters are as likely to be women as men. Sometimes Green brothers’ associate Emily Graslie hosts “The Brain Scoop,” set around Chicago’s Field Museum of Natural History.

“Mathemusician” and artist Vi Hart, whose handdrawn clips now reside at the online lecture hub Khan Academy, is perhaps the most personal, philosophical and poetic of the crowd.

There is Veritasium, presented by Australian Canadian Derek Muller, who hosted last year’s PBS documentary “Uranium: Twisting the Dragon’s Tail” and who notes that “sometimes the simplest questions have the most amazing answers.”

Another Australian, the BBC-trained Brady Haran,

makes interview-based short science films that variously appear on websites and YouTube channels “Numberphile,” “Computerphile” and “Periodic Table of Videos.”

And there is “Because Science with Kyle Hill,” from the Nerdist network, in which the Andrew W.K. of science videos applies physics and chemistry to questions like “Why Kylo Ren’s Lightsaber Works (“I haven’t seen this much debate around a piece of ‘Star Wars’ tech since Han Solo said ‘parsec’ instead of literally any measurement of time”) and “Why Doesn’t Iron Man’s Suit Kill Him?” One of the YouTube stars who interviewed President Barack Obama in January, Alabamian rocket engineer Destin Sandlin of “Smarter Every Day,” begins his experimental clips saying, “Hey, it’s me Destin” and ends with a citation from the Bible.

Religion is not for every believer incompatible with science, of course, nor the world any less wonderful to them for being governed by discoverable, natural laws and not unknowable magical fiat.

Canadians Mitchell Moffit and Gregory Brown run the puckish “ASAPScience.”

Their video “What Color Is This Dress? (Solved with Science),” taking off from

a 2015 viral meme, has had more than 20 million views.

It’s not always a pretty picture they paint with their white-board animations: “What Happens When You Die?” is unblinking about the whole degenerative process.

Heaven doesn’t come into it, but it does end with a flower.

They like to collaborate too, these young communicators of science, to cross over, to drop by one another’s videos.

Whether they’re scientists themselves or not, they’re good teachers, voices for logic, for intuition and experiment.

Who’s to say that a more reasonable future doesn’t start here? In looking squarely at and deeply into things, they respect the actuality that enfolds us all.

Hanson may point out that we yearly produce a mass of plastic equal to the combined weight of every person on the planet, but he also has this to say: “Congratulations! You’re alive, a conscious being understanding itself, intricate chemical machinery that evolves and changes over time. That’s a big deal.”

And as bracing to me as a cold glass of H2O. ©2016 Los Angeles Times.

Tennessee votes to adopt Bible as state book

Joe Lippard

Assistant Opinions Editor

The text of the First Amendment to the Constitution says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.”

Yet, for some reason, when the religion in question is their own, many Americans have no problem overlooking this section of the First Amendment.

In Tennessee, legislation has been passed that would recognize the Bible as the official state book.

It was not close, with the votes being 19 for and 8 against. The bill now goes to Republican governor Bill Haslam for signing or a veto.

It is unclear which Haslam will do, since last year the governor said that the bill was not “very respectful of what the Bible is.”

The reasons that proponents of the bill voted for it seem to focus on the importance of the Bible in the founding of the United States.

Sen. Kerry Roberts said, “The very founding of our nation — the very form of government that we have today — was put forth by men of faith, based on their faith, based on what they read in holy scripture.”

Sponsor Steve Southerland justified his sponsorship of the bill by saying, “The Bible is a history book.”

Many people like to claim that the United States was founded as a Christian nation, but the Treaty of Tripoli, signed by then-president John Adams and ratified by every state at the time, says, “The United States is not in any sense founded upon the

Christian religion.”

In fact, many founding fathers did not believe in miracles, and Thomas Jefferson even edited a version of the Bible that removed all of Jesus’ miracles and traces of his divinity.

The ACLU has issued a statement against the bill.

Hedy Weinberg, Executive Director of ACLU-Tennessee, said, “While the Bible is an important book to many state residents, Tennesseans come from a rich diversity of faiths. Privileging one religion over another not only tramples on the Constitution, it marginalizes the tens of thousands of Tennesseans who choose to practice other religions or not to practice religion at all.”

I agree with Weinberg.

As much as people like to carry on about their First Amendment rights being taken away when a man gets fired from his job for disparaging comments against gay people, yet for some reason, when a government tries to establish an official religion by promoting one certain holy book, all of the people who complain about First Amendment rights being taken away are suddenly silent.

The government is bound by the Constitution to not endorse one religion over another.

By choosing the Bible as the state’s official book, the state’s endorsement of the book becomes tantamount to a state endorsement of Christianity.

In the end, even if this bill does pass, I think that it’ll be taken to court by someone, and eventually it will be declared unconstitutional.

My problem with the bill, however, is that it was so easy to get is passed in the first place.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist or someone with a law degree to see that this is an unconstitutional bill.

This bill shouldn’t have even made it to a vote.

It’s a blatant violation of the First Amendment.

Robot/human relations may not be such a good idea

Zach Davis Columnist

A lot of people worry themselves with things that don’t necessarily affect them — especially when it comes to the bedroom.

A perfect example is same-sex marriage, something that was strongly argued both for and against.

At least until recently, when the Supreme Court ruled in favor of samesex marriage, so arguing should be a moot point.

Besides, it doesn’t matter to me what two responsible adults do behind the doors of their bedroom because it’s nobody else’s business.

However, that is assuming those are two adults behind that door. Let’s say that one of them was a small animal or child.

We would be in an outcry because it is morally wrong and illegal to make sexual advances on children, just like animals in most states.

So nobody should be messing around with someone or something that isn’t a consenting adult

human.

But think about what would happen if someone wanted to fornicate with a robot.

Robots can come in all shapes and sizes and they don’t have a mind like we do.

These two factors cut out human-like qualities and help reinforce the idea that the robot is sentient.

But then we need to figure out whether people actually can be aroused enough to follow through or not.

Stanford University conducted an experiment to determine if people could get aroused through intimate contact with a robot.

Participants were hooked up to a monitor to keep track of physiological changes that would happen due to arousal.

The participants were then asked to touch a human shaped robot in regions which we commonly touch, like the hands, arms and forehead.

Then they were asked to touch the robots in regions which were less commonly touched such as the inner thigh, breast and genital area.

The study found that the participants felt arousal from this contact.

The participants didn’t specifically feel sexual arousal, but they were ex-

tremely uncomfortable touching the robots in the intimate regions.

Researchers believe that this is due to a part of our brain which tells us to treat things that are close to being human as human, even if they aren’t.

That leads us to a scary thought: whether or not robots are getting to be too human.

This experiment suggests that we are starting to consider robots’ say in their function because we are already treating them as human.

We are seeking caution when reaching for things that would make us uncomfortable, probably hesitating because we naturally want to avoid making the robot uncomfortable.

The robots should not be able to feel uncomfortable. They do not have consciousness, which means they cannot form an opinion.

The only thing a robot can do is carry out the programming we put into it.

So there is no reason we should be intimidated to touch a robot.

We should be able to pick it up and rub our hands all over it because it is only a hunk of metal and circuits, something we should never dream of doing to a human.

Instead we are starting to treat robots as humans.

If we continue to humanize robots we will see a dangerous shift in the world as robots become more advanced and potentially replace us.

They could take our jobs because they would make fewer mistakes, and employers would rather have the job done right the first time.

They would take up a lot of space across the planet which we need for population growth and resources.

People might even begin actually fornicating with robots, which isn’t healthy.

Robots lack social capabilities that humans have and can’t feel emotion, such as love.

They lack reproductive organs or sexual properties, meaning the robots cannot feel aroused. Part of the responses we seek during sexual encounters is the emotional and social bonding that occurs.

Sex would be treated as only another thing for someone to do rather than an experience two individuals share.

Plus, that could tempt too many people to not reproduce and our population could plummet.

The study showed that robots have gotten to the point where we see them as human, and that isn’t okay.

Improve student performance by raising teacher pay

Mason Moton Columnist

According to the National Education Association, the mean starting salary for a teacher in America is $36,141, with states like New Jersey, New York, Washington D.C. and Alaska ranking among the highest payers; Indiana sits at $34,696.

Other sources suggest that the mean salary of a teacher in America is $56,000.

I’ve heard several times that a teacher is among the most important roles of society and they should be

paid more for that reason.

But if our community high, middle or elementary schools paid their faculty six-figure salaries, would students benefit as collegebound individuals?

The Equity Project Charter School (TEP), located in the Washington Heights neighborhood of upper Manhattan, in New York City, is addressing the idea now.

TEP teaches grades five through eight and seats 480 students in the low-income area.

It was founded in 2009 by principal Zeke Vanderhoek as an opportunity to embrace the impact education can have on a student’s life.

TEP uses applied, concentrated techniques that seek to engage students, provide consistent maintenance to students and pro-

vide the help students need in order to be successful.

Vanderhoek’s school employs an operating model that pays top dollar for the most qualified teachers, rigorously evaluates teacher performance and focuses on bridging the performance gap between low-income and affluent students.

In an interview with CNN, Vanderhoek was asked why he pays his teachers $125,000 a year.

He stated, “because they’re worth it.”

Vanderhoek has said that he doesn’t believe paying teachers more will make them better teachers, but what he does believe is that if a school desires to attract and keep talented teachers, a school must pay for it.

As the principal and founder of TEP, Vanderhoek hand-picks the teach-

ers he hires and decides their salaries.

Their application and hiring process has been referred to as, “the American Idol of education.”

Teachers who make it to the final round have to demonstrate how they will teach their classes in front of a group of potential students, the principal and other administrators.

Vanderhoek stresses that the main things that TEP wants to see from their teachers are evidence, evidence and evidence that students are making progress from point A to point B. Vanderhoek claims that for a teacher to be able to produce this evidence, they must have the ability to engage students.

TEP is a publicly funded company, which means the money they receive to op-

erate comes from donors and private investors alike.

Despite their money coming from the public, TEP is privately owned and operated, which means that their investors and donors have no legal rights to make a decision about how the school should be operated.

TEP does not have stateof-the-art facilities; for example, classes are held in trailers.

Also, TEP does not hire all of the usual positions one would find in a regular school, like an assistant principal.

The money that would have normally gone to positions and facilities goes to the teacher’s salaries.

With the greater salary comes greater responsibility.

TEP teachers are expected to perform the du-

ties that would normally be done by other staff.

They also are expected to review teaching tapes after classes similar to the way football players review game footage after a game.

One teacher who could not handle the pressure of working at TEP said “if you want to work at the Olympics for teaching, this is the place.”

She left because work was interfering with her personal life; she found herself saying “no” more often to her children and skipping dinner.

Another teacher confirmed that the best thing about TEP is that “it is not okay, just to be okay. Every lesson has to be laser-focused to get the best outcomes from it.”

RAISING, FROM PAGE 6 difference the teachers have made for them.

When asked if they liked school, students said yes, but when asked if they’ve always liked school, students said no.

“The teachers here actually care if we succeed and pass college,” one student said.

When asked what makes a good teacher, instructor Gina Galassi said, “You just have to believe in the kids. And know that they

can learn. Even if there’s a roadblock, if they’re not getting it, you never give up on a kid? No, never.”

After TEP’s first year of operation, student test scores were less than the average scores of neighboring schools. Vander-

hoek explained that a school like this needs time to reach its goals. On the other hand, the school has had remarkable evidence of its effectiveness. One student who entered the fifth grade unable to read or write is now two grade

levels ahead after one year at TEP. Like Vanderhoek said, I don’t think paying an average teacher more will make them a better teacher. Improvement comes from within. Time will tell if TEP has real influence.

I think if I were a student there, or anywhere that paid their teachers six figures, I may not have better teachers, but I’d be a better student. Why? Well, let’s just say it would give me hope to want to be a teacher.

Baseball and five-game win streak head to SIU Adler Ingalsbe

Assistant Sports Editor

The Indiana State baseball team is on the road this weekend for its first Missouri Valley Conference series of the season, paying a visit to Southern Illinois starting Friday.

The Sycamores (19-11) are currently on a seasonhigh five-game winning streak that includes wins over Big Ten schools Purdue and Illinois and a three-game series sweep of Butler.

In the recent wins, the pitching staff has been exceptional, while the Indiana State hitters have produced timely hits that have led to them being able to string together five consecutive wins.

Among the big hits was a walk-off grand slam delivered from Hunter Owen against Butler last Friday, ending a 14-inning marathon that ISU won 13-9.

ISU will look to continue its recent success when they travel to Carbondale to take on the Salukis (1811-1), who saw their fourgame winning streak come to an end Wednesday night when they were knocked off by Murray State.

Indiana State features a weekend starting rotation of Daniel Peterson, Ryan Keaffaber and Justin Hill.

Each has pitched well, and their stats have shown just that.

Peterson leads the hurlers with a 1.93 ERA in 32.2 innings pitched, while holding opponents to a mere .184 batting average.

Keaffaber is coming off of a complete game win against Butler, where he only allowed two Bulldogs to cross the plate as well as striking out and walking a pair.

With the solid outing, he lowered his ERA to 3.24.

He has thrown a teamhigh 41.2 innings thus far in the season.

Rounding out the rotation is junior left-hander Justin Hill. Hill has a 4-1 record, has an ERA of 3.60, has tossed 40 innings and has struck out 35 batters, which ties him with Peterson for the most on the team.

Similarly to ISU, the Salukis have a trio of starters that have been impressive in the seven games they’ve each started this year.

Michael Baird is the staff ace. He is 5-1, with a 1.88 ERA and has punched out 30 hitters in the 48 innings he’s pitched. Chad Whitmer and Joey Marciano have also been good for Southern Illinois.

Whitmer has a 3-0 record and a 2.51 ERA in the 43 innings he’s pitched, while Marciano has compiled a 2-3 record with a 3.79 ERA in 40.1 innings pitched.

While both teams have a starting rotation that can match up against most teams, they also have a number of hitters that can wreak havoc in the batter’s box.

The Sycamores have seven everyday players that have a .270 or better batting average, with Hunter Owen, catcher Kaden Moore and third basemen Andy Young making up an excellent middle of the order.

Owen leads the team in most statistical categories, including his four home runs, 11 doubles, 32 RBIs and a .574 slugging percentage to go along with his .369 batting average that is just behind Moore’s .372 average.

Moore has connected on one homer and knocked in 28 teammates, while Young has seen four of his hits fly over the wall and has driven in 22 runs.

Both Moore and Young have smacked 10 doubles, which is tied for second most on the team.

Like ISU, the Salukis have a very deep lineup, as they have six everyday players hitting .274 or better.

Among them are Greg Lambert, Dyllin Mucha and Logan Blackfan. Lambert has a sparkling .336 batting average to go along with his two home runs and 17 RBIs, while Mucha has a .301 batting average and five stolen bases.

Blackfan doesn’t have quite the batting average as Lambert and Mucha, but he leads the Salukis with his two homers, 11 double and 26 RBIs. With the starting pitchers and lineups eerily similar, the difference could come in the bullpen, but those also feature closers that have had a lot of success closing out games.

Indiana State’s Jeremy McKinney has made an appearance in 12 games where he was able to pick up three saves and throw to an ERA of 1.54.

Like McKinney, the Salukis closer, Ryan Netemeyer, has been great.

Netemeyer has come into 11 games, closing out six of them and putting up a 0.56 ERA. Friday’s 5 p.m. first pitch opens the series, with Saturday’s game slated to start at 3 p.m. and Sunday’s finale kicking off at 2 p.m.

Women’s Soccer hosts ‘Kicks For a Cause’ this weekend Brice Bement Reporter

Indiana State Women’s soccer team will be putting on their annual ‘Kicks for a Cause’ event, where ISU will be playing in two games on Saturday, while also having a fundraiser that allows people to donate their hair to Pantene Beautiful Lengths.

The Sycamores will be playing at noon against Butler University and at 3:30 against Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis.

ISU alumni will also have a team with girls who have graduated and played on the women’s soccer team at Indiana State. The team will also include three seniors Kate Johnson, Sydney Lovelace and Sydney Loesing. They will be playing at 10:30 a.m. against Indiana Wesleyan University. Indiana Wesleyan will be playing IUPUI at 2 p.m. as well.

The last time ISU played Butler was during their last fall season. I ndiana State won 3-2, and it was the first time the Sycamores beat Butler since 2010.

Lovelace scored two goals for ISU and had an assist for the third goal.

Junior Maddie Orf scored the game-winning goal from a give-and-go pass with Lovelace.

The Sycamores played IUPUI in their last fall season as well but fell 2-1.

IUPUI scored early and the Sycamores retaliated when junior Maggie Richard scored her first collegiate goal to tie up the

game. IUPUI scored once again, but the Sycamores fell short and were not able to get another point on the board.

Indiana State’s soccer team in the fall was 6-101 overall. This spring, they played in the Illinois University’s seven versus seven tournament and forced a 1-1 tie against Ball State.

The soccer team has been putting on Kicks for a Cause for the last six years.

The soccer team has recently switched from Locks of Love to Pantene because the Sycamores did not agree with some of the procedures, along with wanting to help multiple causes.

“We have had quite a few other athletes from other teams do it. Women’s basketball and volleyball contribute — men’s football, quite a few have donated

it,” women’s soccer head coach Erika True said.

Coach True explained that they chose to do Kicks for a Cause because when they first started it years back they had never seen anything like it and thought it would be a fun and meaningful cause to help.

“We wanted to help a cause so basically we got creative with it and people got into it. We’ve had momentum with it ever since,” True added.

The Sycamores do not have a goal for how much hair they will collect, but other Terre Haute hair salons, such as Harrold Beauty Academy tend to collect hair throughout the year and join in on the collection.

“We’ve gotten close to the 30 mark in donations,” True said. “I think that was

last year because we had so many people from different teams donate.”

The women’s soccer team is big on community work. The last few years they have won the competition of the most community service hours between the other sports teams at ISU. Coach True enjoys helping the community so much that she might donate her hair this year as well.

“It’s to be determined; I might. I’ve donated two or three times already, and I donated last year. It may happen,” she said.

Pantene will be at Memorial Stadium from 11-2 p.m. accepting hair donations. Those interested must donate at least 8 inches of hair to qualify.

Admission is $5, which lasts the entire day.

Indiana State, Eastern Illinois to renew series in 2017 Tyler Wooten

ISU Athletic Media Relations

Indiana State and Eastern Illinois have agreed to resume their 115-yearold football rivalry with a four-year home-and-home series beginning in 2017 at Memorial Stadium.

The Sycamores and Panthers will meet four times between 2017 and 2020, the first contests between the two schools since EIU’s 31-0 win over ISU in Terre Haute in 2009. Overall, Eastern holds a 43-37-4 advantage over the Sycamores in the series that dates back to 1901.

“We are very excited to renew this long standing rivalry with Eastern Illinois, especially with it starting with a game at

home in 2017,” said head coach Mike Sanford. “This series is a natural fit not only due to our location, but also due to the regional rivalry we have had for 115 years. This series is great for our program because of the respect we have for them and the all-around national respect for EIU as an FCS football program.”

The Panthers are coming off a 7-5 season that saw yet another trip to the FCS Playoffs, the 16th playoff berth in school history. EIU has been a perennial fixture in the playoffs, ranking seventh all-time among FCS schools with 16 total appearances — three berths alone since the last time the Sycamores and Panthers met up in 2009.

With the addition of

Eastern Illinois to the 2017 schedule, Indiana State bolsters an already strong non-conference schedule.

Following the season opener at home against EIU, the Sycamores travel to Rocky Top to take on Tennessee for the first time in school history on Sept. 9 — ISU’s first SEC opponent since 1995 (at Ole Miss, L, 5610).

From there, ISU will resume its series with Liberty in Lynchburg, Virginia, picking up after a threeyear hiatus following Indiana State’s 38-19 victory in Terre Haute on Sept. 27, 2014.

The Sycamores are coming off a 5-6 season that included five losses to eventual FCS Playoff teams with narrow losses to both

the five-time defending national champions North Dakota State and No. 3 Illinois State.

Indiana State will have the top-returning offensive producer in the MVFC in 2016 in the form of junior QB Matt Adam.

A native of San Juan Capistrano, California, Adam put up the third-best offensive season in Indiana State history in 2015 with 2,592 yards of total offense — second in the MVFC last season behind FCS leader Mark Iannotti of Southern Illinois (3,911).

Indiana State is currently in the middle of spring practice, which will culminate with the Spring Game on April 29 at 4 p.m. and the Golf Outing the next day (April 30).

Sycamores to host first outdoor meet of 2016 with Gibson Invite Tyler Wooten

ISU Athletic Media Relations

After two weeks on the road, Indiana State men’s and women’s track and field will play host to 13 other Division I schools for a scored meet with the Gibson Invitational (presented

by Terre Haute Convention and Visitors Bureau) this weekend at the Gibson Track and Field Complex.

The three-day meet will feature 13 schools in women’s competition and 10 in men’s competition — including the No. 10-ranked Illinois men’s squad. The women’s heptathlon and men’s decathlon will not be included in the final team scores as there are individuals from other schools entered in those events.

The Sycamores are coming off a very windy trip to Eastern Illinois for last week’s EIU Big Blue Classic. Considering the conditions, Indiana State came

away with a solid performance in Charleston.

However, the Sycamores really shined in the outdoor season opener out on the East Coast in the Raleigh Relays hosted by NC State the week prior. ISU got several top marks in the nation from that meet, including top-10 times in the 110-meter hurdles from All-American senior Adarius Washington (13.67) and Marcus Neely (13.83), as well as a new schoolrecord time in the women’s 3,000-meter steeplechase from sophomore Taylor Austin at 10:18.28 – then ranked No. 2 in the NCAA, now 14th.

As it stands now, Indiana State owns four national top-50 marks/times and 11 marks or times that rank in the top-48 in the NCAA East Region. The outdoor season utilizes the regional qualifying format, meaning the top-48 individuals in each event in both the East

and West region qualify for the regional meet in May. From there, the top-12 in each event punch their tickets for the national meet in Eugene, Oregon, in

June.

This weekend, though, Indiana State will begin with one representative in the women’s heptathlon both Thursday and Friday:

senior Elizabeth Herron. A native of Noblesville, Indiana, Herron already owns the sixth-best heptathlon score in school history at 4,421 points.

Several Sycamores will also be featured in the early events on Friday evening.

Ryan Chestnut, Jasmine Noel, Cassaundra Roper and Katelyn Rutz will all compete in the hammer throw Friday, as will eight men’s and women’s javelin throwers. ISU will also have three representatives in the men’s and women’s 5Ks: Megan Doty, Ryan Kritzer and Akis Medrano.

Most of the meet will be run on Saturday, which will most notably feature the return of All-American and indoor MVC Most Valuable Track Athlete David Timlin. The Chicago junior will run in the 1500-meter race at 1:40 p.m. Timlin is already the school-record holder in the 1500 at 3:42.22.

Competition will begin, though, with the start of the men’s decathlon at 11 a.m. and the women’s heptathlon at noon on Thursday.
