ISU Student Recreation Center encourages a lifestyle of fitness Jessica Squires Editor-in-Chief

The Student Recreation Center (SRC) at ISU continues to grow after its opening two years ago.

What used to be a parking lot is now an ideal place for students to improve a healthy lifestyle, John Lentz, director for Recreational Sports said.

The SRC offers many ways to cultivate a healthy lifestyle including the Rick H. Spear Juice Bar, drop-in style recreation, personal trainers and group exercise.

Lentz said that since the SRC has been at ISU it has been shown that students that use the SRC have higher rates of retention and higher GPAs. “It’s a great place to get connected,” Lentz said. “It’s a great place to meet people and develop new interests.”

Friday’s Rec Fest made the record for largest one-day turn out with well over two thousand people in attendance, 1,200 of which came after 5 p.m.

Bradley gets renewed contract Jessica Squires Editor-in-Chief

Indiana Statesman

HMSU 143 • 550 Chestnut St. Terre Haute, IN 47809 P: (812) 237-3025 F: (812) 237-7629 Jessica Squires, Editor in Chief, 237-3289 ISU-statesmaneditor@mail.indstate.edu Cory Simon Photo Editor, 237-3034 ISU-statesmanphotos@mail.indstate.edu Gabi Roach, Student Advertising Manager, 237-4344 ISU-statesmanads@mail.indstate.edu The Indiana Statesman is published Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, except during exam periods and university breaks, and is published three times during the summer. The Indiana Statesman was founded May 16, 1929, the same year that Indiana State Normal School became Indiana State Teachers College. The newspaper began in December 1879 as the State Normal News. In November 1895, the paper was first issued as the Normal Advance.

Members of the ISU community are welcome to take a single copy of each issue of this newspaper. The unauthorized taking of multiple copies, however, may constitute theft, which is a crime, even with free publications. Thefts will be reported to campus police for possible prosecution and/or for other disciplinary actions.

The Indiana Statesman exists for four main reasons: to provide the ISU community with news and information, to serve the campus as a public forum for student and reader comments, to offer student staff members chances to apply their skills in different aspects of a news publication, and to give students leadership opportunities.

ISU President Daniel J. Bradley will be with students for another five years.

At the regular Board of Trustees meeting Tuesday, the trustees and the president agreed on a new contract that will allow Bradley to continue to serve ISU until 2016.

“I’m just happy that my performance has been judged adequate,” Bradley said.

Bradley, who is currently 62, said that he is planning on taking the next five years a day at a time, noting that he will be at a retirement age in five years.

“We’ll see then,” he said. “Cheri said that it’s for better or worse except for lunch, so I will have to find something to do.”

Other approved items include the renaming of the Center for Performing and Fine Arts building to the Richard G. Landini Center for Performing and Fine Arts to honor the former ISU president, modifications to the faculty handbook, an increase in child care fees, and the sale of real estate to SAE Financial and Housing Corporation.

The trustees also approved collaboration between Thompson-Thrift Development, Inc. to provide predevelopment planning services for off-campus housing in the downtown Terre Haute area.

Diann McKee, vice president for business affairs, finance and university treasurer, said that this will eventually coincide with the tenant of ISU’s strategic plan to energize downtown Terre Haute by having individuals reside in the area.

The housing would be designated to upper level students and would include a mixture of room layouts unlike the University Apartments.

“Developers have more expertise in this area,” she said. “Working with a private company is a better way to accomplish this goal.”

Rec Center/page one The cookout on the sun deck went until 10 p.m. instead of the regularly scheduled 9 p.m. and the group Zumba went on for two hours.

“We have a really engaged group of students this year,” Lentz said.

This year, Recreation Sports will be expanding the group exercise programs and club sports as well as coordinating the trike and tandem races.

“A key symptom of depression is feeling so tired you can’t get out of bed,” Lentz said. “It is the exact opposite when you’re in the RecCenter.”

ISU Communications and Marketing

The Indiana State University Foundation has named Charles DeMaio to serve as executive director of the ISU Alumni Association.

DeMaio, a 1973 Indiana State graduate, has remained connected to the university and active on its behalf throughout a more than 30-year career in corporate management and not-for-profit development.

“Charlie truly understands the work of the Alumni Association. As the executive director he will work closely with the Alumni Board to develop a long-term strategic vision for the organization and its programs,” Gene Crume, president of the ISU Foundation, said. “I am confident that his leadership will help strengthen alumni engagement by focusing on our alumni clubs, membership and other involvement opportunities.”

Currently director of development for the Lambda Chi Alpha Educational Foundation, DeMaio previously served in a variety of management positions in the corporate world, holding such titles as vice president of sales, vice president of marketing, division manager and national account manager.

ISU President Daniel J. Bradley said DeMaio “brings a wealth of experience to this position with an extensive background in corporate management and his current position with Lambda Chi. Most importantly, Charlie has been an active alumnus of Indiana State and has served as an exemplary volunteer leader. I look forward

Research center to open later this fall ISU students and faculty can receive assistance or get funding for research projects at a new center opening this fall.

An exact opening date and location have not been finalized for the Center for Student Research and Creativity, said ISU Provost C. Jack Maynard, vice president for academic affairs.

“One place or another, the center will be open this fall,” Maynard said, adding that an open house would be planned to introduce the center.

The center will serve undergraduate stu-

dents working on research projects and students who enjoy creative activities, such as fine arts and music. Students can set up individual or group projects.

Instructors can also set up projects for their students or find research ideas.

Tom Steiger, professor of sociology, has been appointed director of the center. Steiger said support staff and student videographers could be hired once the center opens.

Further information on job opportunities will be available at a later date.

Anyone with questions about the center can contact Steiger at 237-3426 or Thomas.Steiger@indstate.edu.

It’s not too early for students to think about getting a flu vaccine, even though it is not yet available at the UAP Clinic/ISU Student Health Center.

CVS Pharmacy already has walk-in vaccinations available each day that range from $3 to $29.95, depending on insurance. With the purchase of the vaccination, customers also receive a $5 CVS gift card.

Students will have a chance to get the vaccination on campus at the Wellness Bash in October when there will be plenty of staff and vaccine doses available. The doses cost less through them than other places. Flumist costs $20, and the Fluzone shot is $13 for students who do not have insurance.

“Flu season peaks in mid-to late December,” said Sydney

Elliott, health educator and media coordinator at the Vigo County Health Department.

But students should keep in mind ways to prevent coming down with the virus.

Corrie Bird-Batson, UAP practice manager, said a good preventive tip is hand washing. Bridget Gaddis, a registered nurse at UAP Clinic, also suggests that students get the vaccine as soon as it becomes available.

Some of the symptoms of the flu include fever of 100 degrees or greater, headache, muscle aches, extreme tiredness, coughing, runny nose and unexplained chills, Elliott said.

If you do get sick, Gaddis suggests that the student should stay home and report the illness to their professors.

The Health Center also says students should drink a lot of fluids and make an appoint-

Bird-Batson said there is no truth to the myth that people get sick from the flu vaccine.

She said some people do develop flu-like symptoms from the very first shot they receive.

Other people who seem to get sick right after the shot, she said, were most likely already sick.

“You can’t get sick from getting the flu vaccine,” BirdBatson said.

Lt. Gov. visits Vigo County count, this was her 21st appearance in Vigo County since taking office in 2005.

“It’s important for me to check on taxpayers’ return on investments,” she said.

Skillman met with local officials Tuesday morning and, in the afternoon, planned to visit a recently revitalized historical neighborhood near Eighteenth Street and Chestnut Street in Terre Haute.

Officials used a $1.8 million grant—part of a total $88 million awarded to the county —for the revitalization project.

Skillman said Vigo County was unique in the state due to its heavy population. According to a 2010 Census count, more than 107,800 people live in Vigo County. That compares to some 17,300 in Parke, about 26,900 in Clay and around 21,500 in Sullivan County.

“That means local elected officials have more challenges, like having to do more with less,” she said.

It’s not every day certified public accountant Steve Prevo meets the state’s second-most important official on his lunch break.

Prevo, who works in Terre Haute, had a conversation with Lieutenant Governor Becky Skillman Tuesday at Grand Traverse Pie Company, located on Third Street just south of campus.

“It was just very cordial,” said Prevo, who was dining with Richard Kremer, president of Futurex Industries, a plastics manufacturer in Bloomingdale.

Skillman was at the restaurant during a daylong visit to Vigo County as part of her statewide “Hoosier Crossroads” tour.

As part of the tour, Skillman plans to revisit all of Indiana’s 92 counties over the next 16 months before her term expires, meeting constituents and checking up on local grant projects. By Skillman’s

E-verify required for student workers ISU needs to comply with new regulations regarding the verification of individuals’ employment eligibility and identity. Departments employing student workers will need to E-Verify students who are starting a new position or who have never worked for ISU, including graduate assistants.

Students will generally need to have an original copy of their social security card and another supporting document, such as

an original copy of their birth certificate, driver’s license or passport.

Federal law requires that this information be entered into E-Verify within three business days of the first work day entered on the Form I-9. More information about the EVerify process can be found at http://www. indstate.edu/humres/EVERIFY_FAQs.htm.

A changing city, for better or worse

Dear Blank, Please Blank: Dear Glee, Please come back. I miss you.

-Sincerely, Nick Hedrick (News editor) Dear readers, Where are my letters? I’m waiting to hear from you.

-Sincerely, Brianne Hofmann (Opinions editor) Dear books, Read yourselves.

-Sincerely, Jessica Squires (Editor-in-Chief)

Crime has made a comeback in Terre Haute.

Recently, Old National Bank, on 25th and Poplar streets, encountered a robbery attempt on August 25. Pizza Hut on Wabash Ave., as well as a Jiffy Mini Mart on north 25th Street were also victimized previously.

“Write and The biggest tragedy, howWrong” ever, was the untimely death Brianne of officer Brent Long, who was Hofmann killed in the line of duty on July 11.

Opinion It seemed, especially after editor Officer Long’s passing, that the Terre Haute community collectively lost hope. If a father, husband and respected lawman couldn’t safely do his job, who else was at risk? What was happening to this town or, more importantly, its people?

It is no secret that this city has a checkered past involving prostitution, drug-dealing and senseless violence, but Terre Haute has also pulled itself out of those dark “Terre Haute will times. So is it always struggle with resorting to crime to a certain old habits?

Not entirely. degree.”

I recall standing in the crowd lined along 7th St. the day that Officer Long’s body was transported from Union Hospital to Mattox-Ryan Funeral Home.

Hundreds of complete strangers teetered on the edge of the sidewalks with silent anticipation. Parents were stooping next to their children and explaining why Officer Long was a hero.

But I have a feeling that the children understood anyway.

People who wouldn’t normally share an eleva-

tor with their neighbors were standing elbow to elbow with them. Businesses on 7th Street hung their flags at half-mast or covered their windows with black curtains.

What truly moved me, however, was the procession of police vehicles from all over the region. The display of comradery was astounding to me.

And it was during that moment that I saw the city of Terre Haute at its best. It was during that moment I realized that good still existed here.

I wish that I could offer hard facts or statistics, as I’m sure they are out there. But if you witnessed what I did that day, you don’t need any.

Terre Haute, like every other metropolis, will always struggle with crime to a certain degree.

Banks will be robbed, drugs will be dealt and heroes will fall.

But the city’s heart still beats and it will take much more than the actions of a few desperate and poor men to stop it.

Students should know their candidates It may seem a little early to be assessing candidates for the 2012 presidential election, but Leia let’s face the facts; this is a turnZoll ing point in history that happens every four years.

Columnist This may be the first time that many Indiana State students find themselves voting, and it’s as good a time as any to vote. The question people ask each election is how to assess and match themselves with the ideal candidates.

People often split party lines. This is not the approach to take because it is like hoping that all the candidates of the party are alike.

Some voters lean towards people they identify with based on religion, race, ethnicity and gender, which is, once again, ill advised.

Finally, people choose their future president based upon campaign promises and sweet ads.

How many times has a president actually made good on a load of promises like that? Remember that a candidate wants your vote; so look “Let’s get Political”

for what they have done and not what they promise to do.

The only way to get a factual read on the moral fabric and future agenda of a president’s administration is to look at their voting record for the senate, at the success of a governor’s state and take a peek at who “It is my hope that they owe for funding their Indiana State students multimillion- register to vote and dollar cam- have a clear view of paign. which candidates Sure, primaries are a represent their ideals.” bit into the future, but look at what is out there before you get blasted with articles about the lack of the candidates’ birth certificates.

You will be well prepared to enter the polls after researching their stance on federal grants for student aid.

There are independent websites littering

the Internet that record all the factual ideals of your possible future leader, and some tally the votes that the candidates made in the senate. For instance, Project Vote Smart, which claims to be the voter’s defense, has had raving reviews.

This no-bipartisan website lists purely factual information about candidates and supplies the voters with background and education, those who fund their campaign, evaluations of previous experience, previous job performance and interviews and speeches from candidates.

Voters who seek a haven to collect facts without bombardment from the mudslinging of the political trail can look at www.votersmart.org.

It is my hope that Indiana State students register to vote and have a clear and final view of which candidates represent their ideals most closely.

Do you need to register? You can do it at many places including the DMV here in town.

You know what they say, you may just have to pick the lesser evil when it comes to campaigns; let’s just hope that’s not the truth this term.

Del Toro creates similar plots, different impacts A lonely little girl explores the world around her hoping for a friend. She encounters strange creatures, both fantastic and terrifying, while her parents refuse to believe anything that she says.

This plot synopsis may sound familiar for those of you who have seen Guillermo Del Toro’s “Pan’s Labyrinth” or for anyone who’s been watching the trailers “Foreign for “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark.”

Territory” “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark,” which came out on August 26th, is Guillermo Megan Del Toro’s latest movie, and is a remake of Stenftenagel the 1973 made-forTV movie of the same name. If you like foreign films like me, Columnist however, you could draw a lot of parallels between it and “Pan’s Labyrinth.”

While “Pan’s Labyrinth” is set in Spain during the 1940s, “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” takes place in present-day U.S. The journey that both of the young female leads take, though, is very similar.

They are both isolated girls who want to escape their everyday real life. Both girls must ultimately fight for their lives. If this former movie is any indication of how this new film will be, then I’m extremely excited.

I still remember sitting down when I was about 14 to watch “Pan’s Labyrinth.” The first scene I watched of this movie was the young girl’s father beating someone’s face in with a wine bottle. Talk about intense!

One of the things I love about Del Toro’s movies, whether he’s directing, writing or producing, is that he doesn’t go for the cheap thrills.

There aren’t boogeymen waiting around every corner to scare the life out of you. He builds up his stories with

characters that have depth and special effects so spectacular that you wish that these creatures really did exist, even if they aren’t pleasant.

He also tries his hardest to represent real life, even if he does add an element of the fantastic. Realistic movies have always jarred me the most because they’re always the most relatable.

“Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” is a prime example. A young girl living in a creepy house with a new mother that she can’t stand could be relatable for a good portion of the audience. It’s this element that will help send chills up your spine.

If you like cheap scares where things are jumping at you from every angle of the screen, then “Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark” probably isn’t for you. But if you like suspenseful and well-written thrillers, then I urge you to buy a ticket, sit in the dark and be spellbound.

Female faculty, students awarded at Equality Day celebration Jessica Squires Editor-in-Chief

Alexa Larkin Features Editor

Upcoming Events: • Bayh College of Education Ice Cream Social Wednesday 11 a.m. - 2 p.m.

University Hall Atrium • New Hire Reception Thursday 6 - 8 p.m.

University Art Gallery • Miss ISU Information Session Thursday 6 p.m.

• ISU Con Friday, 5 p.m. - midnight Saturday, 3 p.m. midnight HHS Arena, North Gym

On Tuesday, ISU honored female faculty and students in respect of Women’s Equality Day. For several years now, the Women’s Studies Program has held a reception to recognize the work and research done by female faculty members.

The event is held to recognize the passing of the 19th Amendment to the Constitution, which gave women the right to vote. The ratification of this amendment was on Aug. 26, 1920.

“We reflect on that achievement, reflect on the achievement of the women of ISU and what still needs to be done,” said Ann Rider, associate professor of German and women’s studies.

Speakers at the event included Daniel J. Bradley, president; Cheri Bradley, first lady; C. Jack Maynard, provost and vice president for Academic Affairs; Steven Lamb, head of the Faculty Senate and Darlene Hantzis, professor of communication.

“Higher education has done better than society as a whole about raising the position of women, but it still has a long way to go to get to equality and equal representation,” President Bradley said. “Like with any goals, you need to have progress reports, celebrate success and make plans to keep moving forward.”

At the event, the Women’s Studies Program awarded the Charlotte Zietlow research scholarships as well as the Mary Elizabeth Owen Daily “Bessie” Women’s Studies student award.

Zietlow also spoke.

“ISU can and does promote women,” Rider said.

There were also posters at the event made by the spring 2011 Women’s Studies 200 students that detailed information about important women in women’s rights, as well as news clips from the passage of the 19th Amendment.

“ISU can and does promote women.”

ISU Bookstore hosts back to school party Whitney Neukam Reporter

The ISU Barnes and Noble bookstore held its first Back to School Bash on Monday night to welcome students back to the ISU campus.

The bookstore’s grand opening took place in April, when many students were busy taking finals, so Derek Holbert, general manager of the bookstore, thought that a higher number of students would be more able and willing to come to an event that took place early in the year.

“I just want the students to have a good time and see what the new bookstore has to offer,” Holbert said.

Taylor Edge, a freshman nursing major, stumbled upon the party by accident. She had to go to the bookstore to get a book for her English class when she saw the activities that were happening.

“I like corn hole and free food and the music is awesome,” Edge said.

Like Edge, several other students were unStudents enjoyed music, games and free food at the ISU aware of the event.

by Tyler Smith) Freshman biology major, Tyler Rimmel,

said, “I didn’t know about it at all. I just saw all the free food and decided to stay. It wasn’t advertised enough. I never heard anything about it.”

To help with advertising and getting students to the party, the radio station 100.7 MixFM was on location at the bookstore encouraging ISU students to come out and enjoy free food including hot dogs, popcorn and cookies. Students were also encouraged to participate in a dunk tank, play corn hole and to win prizes.

Students had the chance to spin a prize wheel at the MixFM table, where they could win a free t-shirt, flip-flops or tickets to Holiday World. Other prizes offered were ISU t-shirts and two large gift baskets filled with ISU merchandise. The ISU Alumni Association raffled off a gift basket of prizes they put together, as well.

Although the turnout was not as high as it was expected to be, Holbert hopes to make the Back to School Bash a tradition.

“I hope to do this again. There are several other groups that are interested in sponsoring this event in the future,” Holbert said. I’m looking forward to it.”

It’s funny because they have the same university as us, University of Valparaiso” Q: Why did you choose to come to Indiana and ISU? A: “I chose ISU because I am studying geography and doing my thesis research, and the classes here are pretty interesting. I am doing research about health and geography, and I am studying geographic information systems. I chose ISU for the five-class program I am taking. I considered Kansas and Colorado but the classes here were better. I did not choose Indiana really, I chose the university.”

Q: Is this your first time in the U.S.?

A: “No, it is my second. I was in Colorado during the winter of 2007. I worked and snowboarded; my employer gave me a season pass for free.

Q: Where did you work and live?

A: “I worked in a restaurant in Vail, Colorado. Acutally it’s a funny story because I shared an apartment with roommates: there were five Chileans and six Argentines.”

Q: How do you like ISU so far?

A: “I am pretty excited because the teachers are very committed to their classes and with me because I am a foreign student. They are always asking about my research. People are pretty nice and the campus is huge and very pretty. We have a different pattern of university. It is located in the city so we have different buildings in the city, not a campus.”

Q: How long have you been in the U.S. and on campus?

A: “I got here on Friday, Aug. 19.”

Q: How have you made friends at ISU so far?

A: “My friends are from Switzerland, Malta and other places. We are always hanging out and we play soccer together.

We met through Janis; she did a great job with us.”

Q: Was it difficult to get here right before classes started and not have much time to prepare?

A: “No because someone who works with Janis Halpern in the international office helped us. It was a pretty good experience.”

Q: What is your favorite thing about ISU so far?

A: “Living on campus because everything is here, the people are here, the food is here and my classes are here. I have to go to another city for my university in Chile; it is about 45 minutes on the subway.”

Q: Where do you live on campus and do you have a roommate?

A: “I live in Mills Hall. No roommate, it’s so sad. But actually it’s cool because I have my own space to do my research, read and watch movies. I like to live on campus because I live with my family in Chile. I don’t want to live the same way here.”

Q: Do you miss your friends and family?

A: “Yeah, it is pretty hard. I don’t have a lot of friends, I just have a few, but they are pretty good friends. What I miss the most is my family, but I think I can handle it. We talk on Skype about two days a week.”

our y e v a H eard H e c i Vo rds o W 6 n i Email us at: isu-statesmanfeatures@mail.indstate.edu

Q: When will you graduate, and what are your plans after graduation?

A: “Actually this is my last year but since I am here, my last year is going to be next year. I will graduate in December 2012. I am working right now with a research team involving my thesis. I did an internship with the health department in Chile, and I plan to stay with that work.”

Q: So you are planning to stay in Chile?

A: “Yes, maybe a few years, and then I can study again.”

Q: What major cultural differences have you noticed?

A: “It is pretty different, especially the food and people’s relationships. South American people are very close and they always say ‘hi’ with a kiss. Here it is a different. There is more distance but its not a problem. For breakfast I just eat bread and tea. You eat a lot for breakfast. I worked in the international office at my university and all of the American’s said, ‘I just want cereal.’”

Q: When you learned English in Chile was it American English or British English and do you think the people here have a different accent?

A: “I learned American English. I was in high school with a teacher from San Diego, Calif. It is hard for me to understand the British accent. You don’t have an accent but you always say ‘duh’ at the end of sentences but I like it. It’s good.”

Trend of the Week: ISU students sport popular vintage sunglasses styles Tia Muhammad Reporter

While walking on the ISU campus, it is hard to ignore that many students are kicking off this year in fashion by sporting trendy shades in various styles.

Due to this trend, the Statesman wanted to find out just what the hottest sunglasses styles are for the fall semester.

“I have aviators and I think they are still in style,” said Nikki Neves, a senior textiles, apparel and mechandise major. “I’ve seen them almost everywhere on campus this semester.”

Neves is correct, in fact; aviator sunglasses have been on the market for nearly 70 years. The aviator style is one that is very versatile and can compliment most outfits or faces.

Although aviators are amongst the classics, not everyone wants to continue with the trend.

“I used to wear aviators all the time but I’m a pilot so I go out to the airport and I see every little kid that wants to be a pilot wearing aviators. So I decided to rock [Wayfarers],” said Justin Brunofsky, a sophomore aviation and aviation management major.

Brunofsky, among several others, were out and about on campus sporting the Wayfarer look.

Wayfarers are the fashionable, boxshaped shades that can be found being worn amongst just about any group of individuals from elite actors to everyday hipsters.

Made popular by the designer frames of Ray-Ban, Wayfarers come in many designs, prints and colors. What makes Ray-Ban’s Wayfarers so distinct and sought after are the polarized lens options, prescription -friendly selection and the limited collections of cool prints and bold colors.

The original Wayfarer style has been prominent for more than 50 years and has been mainstreamed through Hollywood filmmakers, celebrities, musicians, models and artists. Its status and style symbolizes youth, fashion and creativity.

When it comes to a great fashion accessory, sunglasses are a dominant trend that ISU students are more than familiar with.

“It makes you look cool. You can’t see past my shades,” said Desmond Reynolds, a sophomore exploritory studies major.

If you want to see more of our trends, remember to grab the paper next Wednesday for the latest Trend of the Week.

Indiana State men’s cross-country team will defend their Missouri Valley Conference title this upcoming season.

John McNichols, head coach of men’s cross country, said there is reason to be optimistic with what the team can accomplish this season. The returning members and the incoming freshmen have the makings of being one of the strongest ISU cross-country teams this season.

“This year’s team is pretty much a product of the people that have

come before us,” senior runner Craig Padgett said.

“We do have a very strong nucleus back,” McNichols said. “We have four of the top eleven from the conference meet last year”.

The Sycamores were chosen to defend their cross-country title in a conference preseason poll. Last year’s runner-up, Southern Illinois, was chosen second and Drake University was third.

Are the NFL rule changes good or bad for the game?

Ernest Rollins Sports Editor

After the nation held its breath as negotiations between players and owners made people skeptical that football would start on time this year, the NFL season is back with a couple tweaks.

The first noticeable change would be seen at the opening of the game as the kick off line is moved from the 30-yard line to the 35-yard line. In addition, the new ruling states that the covering team cannot have a head start of more than five yards.

The NFL has recently been concerned about player safety. The kickoff has been described as one of the most dangerous moments of NFL as players barrel down the field at full speed with the intent of crushing the advance of the returning team. With this in mind, the rule was passed, but what does it mean for the game?

With the legs on some of these kickers in the NFL, the

touchback rate will most likely increase, as more kicks are able to sail into the end zone. More touchbacks will mean fewer returns.

Let’s be honest; A wellexecuted kickoff return is thrilling to watch. I can already see the wave of excitement watching Chicago Bears wide receiver Devin Hester sprinting down field breaking players ankles in the midfield before eluding the opposition on the outside down to the 30, the 20, the 10, touchdown. In our living rooms, we are on our feet screaming and gloating after such plays.

The NFL has a point that player safety is important, however. With an aggressive game such as football, the thrill comes from watching hard stops, well executed passes and explosive athletic skill of athletes on the ground. This rule change may remove one of the most compelling elements of the game.

The second rule change that will impact the game is a replay and review of every

scoring play. The introduction of this rule was apparently to reduce the number of bad calls made by referees. This is understandable on questionable scores like a touchdown pass to a wide receiver who, from different angles, looks like a foot is out of bounds. Out comes the famous red challenge flag, and we wait in anticipation of the final result. Reviewing obvious scores just adds unnecessary delay to the game.

With this rule in place, fans can expect longer games, and the game doesn’t need to run much longer. Imagine a high scoring game. The length of time spent reviewing may end up adding an extra 30-40 minutes before the game is finished. It is not even valuable playing time.

Despite these changes, I’m just glad that there is going to be a season to watch this year. Our love/hate relationship that we sometimes have with the game will continue because football is, and most likely always will be, part of our culture.

“The kickoff has been descirbed as one of the most dangerous moments of NFL as players barrel down the field at full speed with the intent of crushing the advance of the returning team.”

Shane Bouman named new head coach of softball Shelby Young Reporter

ISU women’s softball welcomed a new head coach, Shane Bouman, on July 21st.

Bouman said one of his goals for the softball team is to encourage players to be successful both on and off the field.

“I am looking forward to the opportunity with Sycamore softball to creating a winning culture and building lifelong champions with these student athletes,” Bouman said.

Bouman has many years of coaching experience. He played professionally from 1986 to 2003 and was the head coach at South Dakota State for six years where he held the record for the coach with the most wins. He also coached at the University of Iowa for three years. Bouman was the pitching coach for the Hawkeyes and during his tenure, the pitching staff finished seventh nationally in 2009. Before coming to ISU, Bouman coached one season at Iowa Lakes Community College.

“Coach Bouman is very respected in the softball

community,” Ron Prettyman, ISU director of athletics, said. “He has a very high level of success everywhere he has been,” Prettyman said. “He is committed to academic achievement as well as success and achievement on the softball field.”

Bouman hopes to accomplish many things with the ISU softball team.

“We will play an aggressive style of softball built around pitching, speed and defense, while taking pride in our hitting,” Bouman said.

In high school, Bouman played football, basketball, track and baseball. He moved on to attend South Dakota State, and there he became a four-year letterman in football. He also received All-Conference quarterback in 1991.

Bouman was raised in Ruthton, Minn., a small farm community, with his two brothers Troy and Todd. He grew up in an athletic family. Todd has played in the NFL for 13 years and is currently with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Troy coaches high school football, basketball, and softball.

Bouman is married to wife Amy and has a daughter named Bradee, 12.

“We will play an aggressive style of softball built around pitching, speed and defense while taking pride in our hitting.”

Cross-country to defend the title for third time

Continued from Page 12 Ernest Rollins Sports Editor

The Sycamores are home this season for this year’s Missouri Valley Conference Championships and a win would make it three consecutive titles for the Sycamores at the Missouri Valley Conference Championships. The men’s cross-country team has won three consecutive titles before (’04, ’05, ‘06).

“Hopefully there will be a lot of people who could come out and support the Sycamores,” McNichols said. “Very important to have a crowd for that competition.”

In addition to the conference meet, the men’s cross-country team will be competing against the nation’s best at the NCAA Division I Pre-Nationals

and the NCAA Division I National Championships here in Terre Haute.

The 2009-10 season saw the Sycamores falling one spot short from making it to the national level. However, ex-cross-country runner and ISU graduate, Eric Schulz, qualified individually for the national meet.

“Our dream as a team, our goal as a team, is to run our last home meet,” McNichols said. “It’s a tall order but it could be accomplished. We were very close two years ago.”

The ISU men’s cross-country team begins their season Saturday when the team travels to Evansville, Ind.

“This year’s team is pretty much the product of the people that have come before us.”
