ISU fraternity loses charter, vows to rebuild Morgan Gallas Reporter

The Zeta Omicron chapter of Alpha Tau Omega lost their campus charter; therefore, they are no longer associated with campus. All 42 active members have been moved to alumni status.

Different events led up to the university’s decision to withdraw recognition of ATO at Indiana State.

“The chapter at Indiana State has been on probation for five years,” said John Newton, ATO’s former chapter adviser, member of the Zeta Omicron board of trustees and Emeritus Vice President for Alumni Affairs at ISU. Newton was a 1969 initiate at Indiana State and has been in and involved with ATO since.

“We’ve had some ups and downs during (the probation) period,” Newton said. “There were a couple of semesters where we had the best grades on campus. (The problem) wasn’t academics. It was always following the rules.”

ATO was given conditions for remaining on campus once placed on probation. The chapter, however, did not follow all of the rules to the letter.

“There were some parties that just occur,” Newton said. “Basically, we are supposed to let (student affairs) know we are going to have an event such as a hayride or a party. Two or three guys would be in their room with their girlfriends. Someone would get on their cell phone and call someone up. All of the sudden there’s 15 to 20 people in the room. It’s a party that no one had planned but it is a party as far as the university was concerned.”

Other problems consisted of alcohol consumption, a car accident and a verbal confrontation with law enforcement officers. “(ATO) bled to death by nicks — little problems here and there,” Newton said. “I think the university’s decision was based on liability. If someone is hurt, some damage is done, … the university had to do something

Campus police trained to use life-saving drug Kristi Ashby News Editor

Kristi Sanders| Indiana Statesman

Officers with the Indiana State Public Safety Department will be issued kits, like the one seen above, that contain Nasal Nalaxone, a drug used to combat opiate overdose.

Nasal Nalaxone, a drug used to treat opiate overdoses, is now on hand at the Indiana State University Public Safety Department.

Over the summer, officers received formal training on how to recognize signs of an opiate overdose and how to administer the Nasal Nalaxone.

These officers listened to an hour presentation and then watched a demo on how to use this drug to save lives.

Michele Barrett, the assistant police chief of ISU, was part of the training along with ISU officers and dispatchers.

“The officers had a pre and posttest over Nasal Nalaxone and opiate overdose,” Barrett said. “They also practiced administering with dummies that were provided for the training.”

There are now three Nalaxone kits in rotation during each shift.

Joseph Newport, the chief of police at the ISU PD, is proud of the train-

ing and services ISU PD can offer students.

“Two people associated with ISU — Dr. Eric Southard, an assistant professor in the Advanced Practice Nursing Department, and Dr. Donna Purviance — are the behind-thescenes advocates for this program,” Newport said. “They deserve the credit for making first responders in west central Indiana and beyond better prepared to respond to these types of calls. The training was offered to us by them. Dr. Southard set up the logistics and Dr. Purviance conducted the training.”

Purviance is a nurse practitioner who trained the officers and dispatchers on this new service they can provide to opiate overdose victims.

Both Barrett and Newport agree opiates, such as heroine, are becoming a problem in the state.

“Unfortunately, opiate overdose is growing in the state,” Newport said.

“First responders who are prepared to assist will be helpful to the campus community as well as surrounding

Financial Aid moves office to accommodate student influx Kristi Sanders News Editor

The construction on Mills Hall finished in July. Construction has already begun on Blumberg, and then Cromwell will be renovated beginning next May.

Freshman tower gets a facelift; Blumberg next on the list Makyla Thompson Reporter

As students begin the semester, students will see the newly renovated Mills Hall.

The project on Mills Hall started last year and now that they are finished, they have started on the next tower.

For students that have been at Indiana State University for some time all witnessed the reconstruction of Mills Hall. Indiana State is renovating all of the freshman towers, and now that Mills Hall is completed, the construction on Blumberg can begin.

Bryan Duncan, the director of capital planning and improvements, is currently directing the renovation of the towers.

“The total cost (of Mills) was $18 million, so that would include construction, and everything that goes into the building,” Duncan said.

The new renovation of Mills Hall includes a different layout for the front desk. When stu-

dents walk in there is plenty of space for them to sit. There is a student lounge by the front desk, and an additional student lounge on the first floor.

The mezzanine level offers students more places to hang out as well as brand new washers and dryers and a full kitchen.

New windows also provide students brighter hallways and lounge spaces.

The towers will have a similar layout when it comes to the student lounges, but they will not all be exactly the same.

Any student who has been in all four towers knows that each tower has its own style.

Jessica Robinson, the residential life associate director, said the renovated buildings will offer students more amenities.

“We hope the students appreciate the new buildings,” Robinson said.

The bathrooms were also altered in the renovations.

“Instead of one big community bathroom we did four small community bathrooms,” Robinson said. “Those bath-

rooms are card access, so they lock and students have to swipe to get into the bathroom.”

There has also been a change when it comes to visitors.

Residential life has gotten rid of the visitation hours when it comes to the students’ dorm rooms.

The next residence hall after Blumberg to be renovated is Cromwell, which is planned to start next year in May and be finished in August.

Diann McKee, the senior vice president for finance and administration and university treasurer, said that the cost of the reconstruction on Blumberg Hall is expected to be $20,750,000.

“Hannig Construction is the general contractor for both Mills and Blumberg,” McKee said “As a public institution we must accept the lowest bid for each project. Hannig submitted the lowest bid.”

By this time next year freshmen will be able to enjoy the newly renovated Blumberg Hall.

It’s a busy time for the Financial Aid Department as classes start and students are collecting their loans, scholarships and grants.

To help accommodate these students, Financial Aid has moved their offices temporarily to the banquet hall in Tirey Hall.

They will move back to their new location in the lower level of Tirey Hall after Labor Day. Crystal Baker, director of the Financial Aid Department, said she is excited to see these changes take place, even if they’re only temporary.

“The office staff has trained all summer for this,” Baker said. “This temporary location is to help the high volume of students coming in to find out about their aid.”

They decided to move for the month of August to help accommodate this high traffic area.

“We started off the week with around 500 students a day,” Baker said. “Now we are getting around 400 towards the end of this first week. With phone calls we are still receiving around 500 calls a day.”

The banquet hall has more seating area for students and a separate area to have one-on-one meetings with staff for financial aid questions and concerns.

“On Sept. 1, we will move to our new location and construction of our new welcome desk should be completed,” Baker said.

“This new desk will allow

students to have computers to access their accounts and to work with staff quickly and efficiently.

There are also bathrooms located by our office so students will not lose their place. This was a problem with our old offices.”

One new idea that has helped the Financial Aid staff was having online applications for loans. Baker said they plan on having work study applications online for next school year.

“The goal is to transition all applications to be online,” Baker said. “With being entirely online and getting bigger freshman classes, we must be very transparent and communication must take a higher priority.”

One example that Baker gave for this high communication priority is emailing students about issues with their financial aid instead of students looking on their portals for an issue.

“When students are watching their portal, they are doing their part though,” Baker said. “We are on your side and want to help in any way possible.”

Baker had one final reminder for students looking to change their schedules.

“By Wednesday, Aug. 27, at 11:59 p.m. all students must have their schedules finalized,” Baker said. “If not, full-time students can lose their financial aid for the school year.”

New parking offered at Lot K on west side of campus Morgan Gallas Reporter

Lot K is a remote lot on the west side of Third Street adjacent to remote Lot O. Diann McKee, vice president of business affairs, said, “(Lot K) is located across from the new Track and Field facility on First Street.”

The university added Lot K “to provide additional remote parking options for students, faculty, and staff,” McKee said.

McKee said Lot K will provide approximately 250 parking spaces. The lot will accommodate any persons with an Indiana State parking permit including students, faculty, and staff.

To park there, a valid

Indiana State parking permit must be visible in the windshield. If a car does not have a permit, a ticket will be issued.

The university spent approximately $550,000 on constructing the parking lot.

Indiana State will be working to make parking more convenient and accessible on campus since the university has seen exponential growth in the past years.

“Future plans include additional parking west on Third Street,” McKee said. “Parking is also available on the east side of campus.”

Rave Guardian mobile app set to make a splash with campus safety Kristi Sanders Reporter

A new application is available for Indiana State University students, faculty and staff, called Rave Guardian.

On ravemobilesafety.com it states, “The Rave Guardian mobile phone app enhances safety on campus through real-time interactive features that create a virtual safety network of friends, family and Campus Safety.”

Rave Guardian can be downloaded now on any iOS or Android for free.

“Over the summer it was tested by the communication department,” said Michele Barrett, assistant chief of police at ISU. “They tested the GPS locator to see if there were any issues.”

The application offers a panic button, a tip hotline for text and photos, a safety timer, personal guardians can be set up on each individual’s app and a safety profile.

Joseph Newport, the chief of police at ISU Public Safety Department, explained how this application can help students.

“First, students have to get the free app,” Newport said. “Then,

when they become familiar with it, they will see the value of the product. It has often been referred to as a ‘mobile blue light.’

Having a direct line of communication with our Public Safety Department is never a bad idea.”

If a student presses the panic button it will immediately contact Public Safety on campus.

It will also provide the victim’s GPS location and their personal safety information.

The ‘send tip’ option is an anonymous tip hotline where people with the app can submit a text and/or photos to the Public Safety department.

Each person with the app can set up their own personal guardians. These can be parents, a roommate, significant other or friends that the person wants to include. These guardians can be texted or called through the application.

The app’s safety timer can be used to help students walk across campus safely by making their personal guardian aware if they fail to turn it off. The person using the timer makes a status such as “I’m walking back to my dorm from the library” and then turns off the timer once they’ve arrived at their destination. A

missed deadline alerts the selected personal guardian, who can then contact Public Safety if there’s an issue.

People who download the application will also set up a safety profile. This will provide their information such as where they live and if they have any medical conditions.

“If you’re feeling nervous walking across campus at night, this is an app that can ease your mind,” Barrett said.

“This adds one more layer of assistance and safety notification at ISU,” Newport said.

The house of the Zeta Omicron chapter of Alpha Tau Omega still stands, but the fraternity’s alumni hope to rebuild the organization once all the current members have graduated.

ATO CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 about it.”

In February of 2015, the chapter was notified that the university was going to process them and decide if there should still be an ATO chapter on campus.

At the end of the spring semester, the university made the decision to withdraw recognition of ATO. ATO will be eligible for rebuilding at Indiana State in as little as three years.

“There will be an ATO chapter at ISU,” Newton said. “It may be as much as three or four years from now. The university will wait until all current ATO students graduate then they will bring young men to campus who work for the fraternity to rebuild the Zeta Omicron chapter.”

Newton has been a part of the rebuilding process during the early 1990s when ATO lost their charter for two years.

“This has been a good chapter,” Newton said. “The young men are good men. There was nothing criminal or scandalous done.

It was just small things adding up. It was a disregard for the rules and agreements.”

The men of ATO have had the summer to come to terms with the unfortunate circumstances.

“I am both disappointed and frustrated at the outcome and all of the lost opportunities for me and others who won’t be able to benefit from the brotherhood ATO had to offer,” said Mark Schelling, a sophomore aviation major who is in ATO. “Our brotherhood and friendship has become more solid af-

ter being disaffiliated,” said Kody Kramer, a sophomore insurance major. “All the guys get together and hang out just as much as we did before. We are close group of friends (who) will continue enjoying our time here at Indiana State University.”

“Aside from our university involvement, nothing has changed within the brotherhood,” said Harrison Smith, a junior aviation major. “We are a close-knit group of guys who are far above letting a menial disaffiliation affect our lifelong friendships.”

“ATO’s brotherhood has definitely gotten stronger and brought us all closer through the process, and although the university has let us down, we will always hold our heads high as brothers of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity,” Schelling said.

DRUG CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 areas. The ISU Police were fortunate to have the right people close to us to make it happen at ISU.” Barrett said the lifesaving drug will be helpful in responding to opiate overdoses, especially since heroin use has increased across the board. “(Heroin is) very cheap,” Barrett said. “With the restrictions on drugs used to make meth, this is an alternative for drug users.”

A study conducted by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) “found the number of Americans who said they used meth in 2012 fell to 440,000, from 731,000 in 2006. SAMHSA said the drop is most likely due

to state laws restricting the sale of pseudoephedrine, a key ingredient of meth that is found in cold medicines such as Sudafed.”

This will be a safety tool for ISU PD to help students who may have overdosed, Barrett said.

“Last year, there was one case with heroin on campus,” Barrett said. “There was not an overdose with the case. It was just in the person’s possession.”

With this new training for all officers, students can be assured that the ISU PD is taking all measures to protect and serve ISU’s campus.

“We have students from all over the state — some from areas where this problem is quite significant,” Newport said. “An opiate overdose is likely to occur. This helps us when it does.”

Avoiding illness on campus The fall semester is here and I am sure we all know what that means: classes are back in session. Students are flooding campus, homework is plentiful and group projects abound. But exColumnist posing yourself to so many people also increases your exposure to germs that can make you sick, which makes everything more difficult.

There are several things you can do to reduce exposure to germs and illness. The very first thing you can do is to keep space between yourself and someone who is ill. There is no need to completely avoid them, but try to avoid close or physical contact. As simple as this may seem, avoiding contact with someone who is sick is extremely important in reducing how many germs you are exposed to.

Sometimes we still end up touching them for whatever reason. In this case, wash your hands. According to the Center for Disease Control, the most effective way to prevent getting sick is to wash your hands. Many diseases are transmitted through germs that get onto your hands and spread by touch. Washing your hands kills these germs and can greatly reduce your risk of getting sick.

In addition, it’s critically important to wash your hands correctly. Wet your hands under running water and scrub them with soap for at least 20 seconds.

Then rinse the soap off and dry your hands with a clean towel.

The entire process takes about 30-40 seconds to complete, so why not just do it? If you don’t have soap, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer instead.

Germs that are spread by touch can also spread to surfaces and objects we commonly touch — phones, doorknobs and pencils for example. Washing your hands every time you touch anything is a bit extreme, so instead try wiping down these commonly used items and surfaces regularly. Use a disinfecting spray or towelette to sanitize items and

How to optimize your dorm space

If you’ve ever heard Destiny’s Child’s classic hit “Survivor,” you know that it is the anthem of dorm room living.

Nothing exemplifies the struggles of community bathrooms Columnist and the hassle of making our miniscule, twin-sized beds quite like those lyrics. The truth: it takes a lot of patience and some innovation to make your dorm room feel like home.

Getting through the first year is tough and at times it may seem impossible with all of the uncomfortable adjustments. You miss your family, your couch and being free to do what you want, when and where you want to do it. The feelings of not having enough space and having too much clutter are common and overwhelming. Your parents are no longer there to push in your dresser drawers and to remind you to make your bed. Instead, it is up to you to keep your place ILLNESS CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 neat and tidy when you deem it

necessary. Let’s face it — we’re adults now, with responsibilities that grow every day. Accept it, grab some Lysol and work with what you have.

Over the past three years I have kept tabs on what works and what does not work in dorm rooms. Here are a few tips on how to organize and optimize your space.

First things first: take your shoes off. Don’t let the dirt of the day, both literal and figurative, get tracked into your room.

This is your only space, so keep it clean. Reserve a basket in the front and toss them in before going any further. Whether you have carpet or tiled floors, there is nothing worse than feeling like you have filthy feet when you climb into bed at night. There are enough germs at college and your room should not be a safe haven for them. This is your only space, so respect it.

Be sure to utilize dead space.

While the pre-installed closet rod may seem to house only a third of your closet, folded hoodies and jeans stack neatly above your closet. From experience I can say that your first year you pack entirely too much clothing. As the years continue so

too does the improvement of your decision-making skills. The space above your closet goes farther back than you think and fits a wide array of totes and piles.

Don’t underestimate or ignore it, but instead take advantage and neatly store within it. The same goes with the space under your bed. Utilize it for those things you don’t access daily but that you will need in the future.

Get friendly with TJ Maxx.

While this has never been an issue, I have recently discovered that TJ Maxx has an insanely great home decor and organization-centered storage section.

Full of compartments, totes and containers on wheels, use the space under your shortest tank tops in your closet or next to your bed to sort through and put things where they should be. I’m not encouraging you to whip out the label-maker and be an organizational maniac, but I am assuring you that when you know where things are and where they work best, your room begins to feel more functional and not like a bomb site.

Keep your desk neat. For all of the late nights you spend doing homework, writing papers and taking quizzes, your desk is

a place you should keep clean, clear and concise. School is overwhelming by itself and the more papers, sticky notes or wrappers you leave lying around, the more frustrated you get when you can’t find the one thing you need. Don’t let the clutter consume your room or your college experience.

Pair your socks. Funny, I know, but it’s true. It’s easy to dump your clean laundry in the drawers and forget about it. It’s the little things that make you feel like you have your life together and — trust me when I tell you — pairing your socks is one of them. Take the five extra minutes and your sanity will thank you later.

I could have easily told you to take out your trash, clean and do your laundry but I’m hoping that those are already being done and being done often. Much like everything else that is new and terrifying in college, dorm messes are easy to let spiral out of control. If your mother wouldn’t approve of the condition your room is in, maybe it’s time to sweep the chaos under the rug — not literally, of course. Toss it all out alongside your stress and bad habits.

Indiana law doesn’t prohibit ‘revenge porn’ Obama offers solutions to Recently, a Hamilton County high school teacher has been implicated in something called revenge porn.

Her ex-husband logged into her Facebook account and posted inappropriate photos Opinions of her, then sent a letter to the high Editor school where the woman worked, threatening to spread the pictures further if they did not fire her. The high school decided to stand with the teacher since she did not agree to the release of the photos.

When exploring their options, the school found that they could not take legal action, since Indiana has no laws to protect women — or men, for that matter.

Revenge porn — also referred to as non-consensual pornography — is a fairly new idea. There are hundreds of websites where people can post nude or otherwise unsavory photos of anyone. It is called revenge porn since most

Kylie Adkins

people post pictures of an ex-lover out of revenge.

States have been slow to protect women and men from this new form of predation. Only 20 states have written any kind of law to protect men and women. There isn’t even a federal law to protect people within the states who have not yet passed a law. Since there is no federal law against this, it is very difficult to take any kind of legal action.

Revenge porn often has incredibly detrimental results for the victim. Photos they thought were private are now completely public and can result in the loss of jobs and other opportunities.

There were recent attempts to pass a law making non-consensual pornography illegal to distribute in Indiana, but the bill received no consideration so it remains legal in Indiana to post these things online. According the Indianapolis Star, it is also completely legal to post pictures of grown adults being raped with no fear of repercussions. You could not, however, post photos of a child due to child pornography laws.

Even though states are taking

their sweet time to pass laws condemning this behavior, Google and Microsoft are doing their parts to help control the problem. They are both taking down all of their links to revenge porn sites so they don’t show up in search results.

Just last year, many celebrities had nude photos released without their permission. While they weren’t posted on a revenge porn website or necessarily done maliciously, it is a very similar problem.

Women are often told to simply not take the photographs in the first place, but many victims expected the photos to be deleted or at least not distributed without their permission, and it is incredibly difficult and often nearly impossible to get the photos taken down, and it is made more difficult if you have any kind of fame.

Just because a man or a woman allows you to take a nude picture or video does not give you permission to post these things online, regardless of the lack of laws.

We need to put pressure on both our state and federal government to provide protections for people who are victimized by this new, unique form of predation.

America’s prison problem

On July 14, President Obama gave a speech for the NAACP pointing out many problems in America’s prison system. During the speech, President Obama talked about the overcrowdColumnist prison ing and how it’s affecting families, communities and the way our tax dollars are spent.

“Our incarceration rate is four times higher than China’s,” he said, also stating that America has 25 percent of the world’s prison population despite having only 5 percent of the world’s population.

In addition, “A growing body of research shows that people of color are more likely to be stopped, frisked, questioned, charged, detained,” President Obama said.

Other statistics are frightening.

African Americans and Latinos make up about 30 percent of the

American population, but they make up 60 percent of our prison population, Obama said. This means that one out of every 35 African American men is locked up, compared to Latino men at one out of 88 and white men at one out of 214.

In his speech, President Obama proposed prison reform, which he separated into three categories: reform in the community, the courtroom and the cell block. To reform the community, he stated that we need to stop requiring that nonviolent drug offenders go to jail.

If we focus on major crime bosses and violent offenders and, instead of incarceration, try to rehabilitate the low nonviolent drug offenders, we can save a portion of the $80 billion in tax dollars spent on prisons and prisoners each year.

This could fund free universal preschool, double the salary of teachers or finance new roads and job opportunities.

Alexander von Humboldt saw Earth as it is: majestic, connected and vulnerable Scientist, naturalist, explorer theorizes climate change way before his time

Andrea Wulf

Los Angeles Times (TNS)

His contemporaries considered Alexander von Humboldt the most famous man in the world after Napoleon, and Thomas Jefferson called him “one of the greatest ornaments of the age.” There are more plants, animals, minerals and places named after Humboldt than any other person.

In California alone, a county, a bay, a college and a state park all bear his name. He is a founding father of environmentalism, a visionary who predicted manmade climate change as early as 1800. Yet Humboldt is almost forgotten in the English-speaking world. We see his name on maps, on the information cards at the zoo or in the newspaper the Humboldt Current, the Humboldt penguin, Humboldt State, the Humboldt mountain range but most Americans know little about the man. Born in 1769 into an aristocratic Prussian family in Berlin, Humboldt discarded a life of privilege and spent his substantial inheritance on a dangerous five-year exploration of Latin America.

He ventured deep into the mysterious rain forests in Venezuela and paddled along crocodile-infested tropical rivers.

He walked thousands of miles through the Andes, from Bogota, Colombia, to Lima, Peru climbing volcanos along the way, including Chimborazo, then believed to be the highest ILLNESS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4

surfaces to kill the germs that would otherwise be spread.

Even if you wash your hands and wipe down surfaces you can still easily gather germs on your hands. After all, they are everywhere. Keep this in mind and try not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth. These three areas are very easily infected and, if bacteria is introduced, can get you sick. By avoiding contact with your eyes, nose and mouth you can reduce the probability of getting sick.

No matter how hard we try we will all probably get sick at some point. There are still things you can do to help fight off illness, both before and after you get

mountain in the world. He was fascinated by scientific instruments and empirical data, but equally driven by a sense of wonder. At almost 20,000 feet and nauseated by altitude sickness, Humboldt measured the chemical components of the air and also described nature’s majestic beauty.

Where other scientists were searching for universal laws, Humboldt wrote that “nature must be experienced through feeling.” When he returned to Europe, his trunks were filled with dozens of notebooks, hundreds of sketches and tens of thousands of astronomical, geological and meteorological observations, and some 60,000 plant specimens.

When Humboldt died in 1859, aged 89, he was arguably the last great polymath, a man who investigated nature not just with scientific methods but also by looking at art, history, literature and economics.

He searched for global patterns, and his most important insight was that nature is a web of life.

At a time when scientists were classifying the world into ever smaller taxonomic units, Humboldt regarded Earth as one great living organism in which everything was connected. It was a radically new approach, and it makes him a naturalist hero for the 21st century.

As he traveled through Latin America, Humboldt recognized nature’s vulnerability and the devastating environmental effects of colonial cash crop culti-

vation: Monoculture and deforestation made the land barren, washed away soil and drained lakes and rivers. Humboldt was the first to understand the forest as an ecosystem: the forest’s ability to enrich the atmosphere with moisture, its cooling effect as well as its importance for water retention and protection against erosion.

Large-scale irrigation, he said, would turn parts of Venezuela into arid deserts and the valleys beneath the high plateau of Mexico into desolate landscapes. Humboldt wrote that the “wants and restless activity of large communities of men gradually despoil the face of the Earth.”

In 1844, he prophetically listed three ways in which the human species was even then affecting the climate: “Through the destructions of forests, through the distribution of water, and through the production of great masses of steam and gas at the industrial centres.”

It is hard to overestimate his effect on what came next. It was Humboldt, for example, who inspired John Muir’s ecological thinking. Almost 70 years younger, Muir grew up reading Humboldt’s books.

“How intensely I desire to be a Humboldt,” Muir declared when he was in his 20s. Muir’s famous quotation “When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe” owes a great deal to Humboldt’s ideas that nothing, not even the tiniest organism,

could be looked at on its own.

“In this great chain of causes and effects,” Humboldt wrote, “no single fact can be considered in isolation.”

Muir left behind heavily annotated copies of Humboldt’s books. Pencil in hand, he scribbled in the margins of his copies, which are now in the special collections of the University of the Pacific in Stockton.

On the endpapers Muir devised his own extensive indexes.

He highlighted passages about the impact of trees on climate, soil and evaporation as well as the destructive force of agriculture and deforestation.

When Muir fought for the creation of Yosemite National Park, he explained that a huge swath of land had to be preserved because Yosemite Valley and its surroundings were as closely related as the “fingers to the palm of a hand.” He was calling upon Humboldt’s description of harmonious units of nature ecosystems, though neither man used that word.

Humboldt also shaped the beliefs of another American proto-ecologist, George Perkins Marsh, the author of “Man and Nature,” published in 1864. As the American ambassador in Turkey and then Italy, Marsh traveled extensively in Europe and the Middle East where he observed, through the lens of Humboldt’s writings, landscapes that were damaged by thousands of years of agricultural activity.

He called Humboldt “the great apostle” and extended his warn-

ings about a devastated planet: If nothing changed, Marsh foretold, Earth would be reduced to a “shattered surface (and) climatic excess.”

“Man and Nature” was the first work of natural history to fundamentally influence American politics. It led to the passage of the 1873 Timber Culture Act, which encouraged settlers on the Great Plains to plant trees.

It also prepared the ground for the 1891 Forest Reserves Act, which took much of its wording from Marsh and from Humboldt’s earlier ideas. With California in the fourth year of serious drought, with forest fires burning, oceans rising and extreme weather spreading havoc, Humboldt deserves to be rediscovered. His interdisciplinary methods and his concept of nature as one of global patterns should underpin our policymaking.

As scientists try to understand and predict the consequences of climate change, Humboldt’s belief in the free exchange of information and in fostering communication across disciplines is vitally important. His insights that social, economic and political issues are closely connected to environmental problems remain resoundingly topical.

sick. For example, if you get a sufficient amount of sleep and eat healthy foods you can give your immune system a boost.

You want your immune system to be as strong as possible since that is what fights the germs and bacteria. If your symptoms are bad enough or you don’t seem to be getting any better, call your doctor or visit a clinic.

Be courteous and try not to get others sick. Cover your nose and mouth when you cough or sneeze, and blow your nose regularly. Make sure after you cough, sneeze or blow your nose that you wash your hands thoroughly. Spreading your sickness to others can keep it around longer, increasing your risk of getting sick again.

While all of these are good practices to use in your daily life, there are still some diseases that aren’t easily stopped, even with these precautions. With the reemergence of some diseases such as measles as well as the new flu season coming up, one of the best things you can do for yourself is to talk to your doctor and get vaccinated for a number of preventable diseases.

Vaccines teach your body how to fight more serious infections so you can avoid these diseases.

Basic hygiene is important not only to help keep you from getting sick but to help others as well. If everyone took these simple steps every day we could all get sick less often so we can do more of what we enjoy.

der their rehabilitation.

President Obama’s stance on prison reform is a good stance, but not everyone agrees. If we focus on the positive outcomes of prison reform, such as better opportunities for our children, our courts and a decrease in incarceration, we can not only save tax dollars, but we can save children from losing fathers, mothers and role models. We can also make society a more profitable and safer place to live, making America the great country we all know it can be.

courts need to make drug offenders accountable for their actions, but give them more options on how to pay their debt to society.

This problem can be solved by promoting programs to train inmates for jobs while in prison.

These programs can grant early release and help prisoners contribute to society. Lastly, reform in the cell block starts with taking things like prison rape or gang activity seriously. These things can negatively affect a victim and hin-

CDC warns of dangers from binge drinking

Monday, Aug. 24, 2015 Page designed by Sarah Hall

Tony Pugh McClatchy Washington Bureau (TNS)

WASHINGTON — America’s binge drinkers are fueling an average of six alcohol-poisoning deaths per day, according to a new government report.

Women who have four or more drinks and men who have five or more are considered binge drinkers by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

But nearly every week, more than 38 million people report consuming an average of eight drinks during a binge, the CDC found.

High alcohol levels can shut down the brain’s ability to control breathing, heart rate and body temperature.

“If we could eliminate binge drinking, we would dramatically reduce the risk of alcohol poisoning,” said Bob Brewer, who heads the alcohol program of the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion at the CDC. Most of the estimated 1.5 billion binge-drinking episodes each year involve Americans 26 and older, Brewer said. But CDC researchers were surprised to find that people ages 35 to 64 accounted for 75 percent of America’s roughly 2,200 alcohol-poisoning deaths each year from 2010 to 2012.

“Contrary to conventional wisdom, there’s a lot of binge drinking that’s going on by people who are post-college age,” Brewer said in a telephone briefing Tuesday.

While binge drinking with hard liquor is more common among younger adults, middleaged people typically binge on beer.

The CDC analysis, which studied alcohol-poisoning deaths among those 15 and older, found that alcoholism was a factor in 30 percent of the deaths. Almost 70 percent of alcohol poisoning deaths from 2010 to 2012 occurred among non-Hispanic whites. American Indians and Alaska Natives, however, had the highest death rates from alcohol poisoning.

With 46.5 deaths per 1 million residents, Alaska had the nation’s highest death rate from alcohol poisoning. Alabama had the lowest rate, at just 5.3 deaths per million residents.

“Alcohol poisoning deaths are a heartbreaking reminder of the dangers of excessive alcohol use, which is a leading cause of preventable deaths in the U.S.,” said CDC Principal Deputy Director Ileana Arias. “We need to implement effective programs and policies to prevent binge drinking and the many health and social harms that are related to it, including deaths from alcohol poisoning.” © 2015, Chicago Tribune.

Working hard Freshmen participate in community servive during Donaghy Day ISU Communications and Marketing

Donaghy Day, a part of Indiana State University’s Fall Welcome, marks the beginning of the school year with a day of service for incoming students to “celebrate the season and to work to help beautify the campus and surrounding community.”

Nearly 1,800 students began fall 2015 Donaghy Day at 8 a.m. at Hulman Center, where students left on buses, vans, or on foot to more than 70 project locations in the area.

Along with a sense of accomplishment, the teamwork experience also allowed freshmen to meet other Sycamores, learn their way around the city and form a connection with the community they recently moved to, many from far away.

“I wanted to be involved in the community because I’m from Illinois, so I thought this would be a good way for me to get to see things and help out,” said Kamrie Olson of Bloomington, Illinois, who alphabetized books at the Vigo County Public Library with her roommate Marisa Combs of Milan, Indiana, who majors in special education and English education and said she loves volunteering. “It’s a good introduction.”

Combs chose to volunteer at the library for her love of books, and Olson thought that organizing the books would help children who visit the library.

Allison Jones, an exercise science major from Danville, Indiana, was

among the white T-shirts toiling in the garden outside the library’s entrance.

“It’s giving back to the community,” she said. “It makes you feel good about yourself and helping others.”

Jones was accompanied by Olivia Monhollen, a graphic design major from New Palestine, Indiana. “I thought it would be fun, and I like books,” Monhollen said. “I didn’t know I’d be outside gardening, but I just like helping the community.”

“It feels nice outside today and it’s for the town,” said Jordan Sullivan, exploratory studies major from Attica, Indiana, who spruced up the planters in downtown Terre Haute for the upcoming Block Party. “It feels nice to do a good deed. I’m having fun.”

Travis Eckert, an unmanned systems major from Fort Wayne, Indiana, followed his friend to the Community

Garden at 11th and Chestnut streets.

“It sounded like a fun day at the garden, so why not? And it helps the community.”

The day of service wrapped up around noon.

Students who participated in Donaghy Day were able to see the impact of their service as they beautified the university and Terre Haute, but they also learned how to navigate and appreciate the town and meet other freshmen, which Munhollen looks forward to. Sullivan, who resides on campus, felt that Donaghy Day is an important part of Fall Welcome because it helps students integrate into the community.

“It’s a good way to start school, get people a little more used to their community, introduce us to a lot of the locations around Terre Haute.”

‘Hitman: Agent 47’ promises to be action-packed and gritty Steven Rea The Philadelphia Inquirer

Rupert Friend weilding his twin .45s in the new movie “Hitman: Agent 47”

PHILADELPHIA (Tribune News Service) — At least 30 people get killed by gunfire, car bombs, kerplunking tumbles from balconies and stairs before the title “Hitman: Agent 47” even announces itself on screen.

The video-game-like carnage doesn’t stop there. Set in Berlin and Singapore and based on the IO Interactive “stealth” game (the company gets a prominent credit), “Hitman: Agent 47” stars “Homeland’s” Rupert Friend in the title role. His head is shaved, his lips pursed, he wears dark suits and a look of inscrutable blankness. He carries a suitcase full of weapons, including twin .45s and an array of lethal cutlery. He is on the hunt for a woman named Katia van Dees (English actress Hannah Ware) who, in turn, is on the hunt for a mystery man who may be able to enlighten her about the heightened sense of awareness and agility she is experiencing. She also suffers from

troubling visions and a propensity to get teary at the slightest provocation.

Agent 47, who sports a barcode on his nape, isn’t the only guy in pursuit of Katia. There is the fellow who introduces himself as John Smith, played by Zachary Quinto with a grim mug, a three-day stubble and none of the quizzical braininess he brings to the role of Spock in the “Star Trek” reboots. (The actor looks kind of naked without those pointy Vulcan ears, too.) Smith may be out to help Katia, or he may not, but he is clearly interested in the giant map of the world she has pinned to the wall of her otherwise bare apartment, with its crisscrossed lines and scrawls, its photos, newspaper clippings and scribbled Post-its. Dogged detectives would be proud of Katia’s fevered use of thumbtacks and tape, too.

“Hitman: Agent 47” has a sleek, modern look and a platoon of able stuntfolk who dive, crash, screech and go flying in the face of fiery explosions. (By contrast, the 2007

Indiana State again recognized among top national, regional colleges Two widely followed annual lists of the top national and regional colleges are out and Indiana State University is once again included in both.

Forbes magazine has recognized Indiana State on its annual list of America’s Top Colleges for the fifth year in a row while Princeton Review’s list of Best Midwestern Colleges recognized Indiana State for the 12 straight year.

Only about 20 percent of the nation’s accredited colleges and universities make the Forbes list,

which emphasizes the return students and parents receive from their investment in a college degree, while the Princeton Review bases its list largely on student surveys.

“As we prepare to welcome new and returning students for another academic year, recognition by Forbes and the Princeton Review can reassure families they’ve made a good decision in selecting Indiana State,” said university President Dan Bradley.

“Each year, we make progress on a variety of fronts — improv-

ing our curriculum, upgrading facilities and refining programs that help students succeed while maintaining affordability. We are pleased to once again see independent verification of this progress.”

In producing its list of the nation’s top colleges, Forbes partners with the Washington, D.C.-based Center for College Affordability and Productivity (CCAP) for America’s Top Colleges.

The publication says its list, developed in partnership with

the Washington, D.C.-based Center for College Affordability and Productivity, emphasizing output over input.

In including Indiana State on its list of 159 Best Midwestern Colleges — a 12-state region stretching from the Dakotas to Ohio — the Princeton Review said students chose ISU because of affordability but find “plenty more to love,” including caring professors and an emphasis on academics and school pride.

The Princeton Review said students it surveyed value Indi-

ana State’s diversity, not only in terms of race and ethnicity but for its large number of first-generation students and those from different socio-economic backgrounds.

Princeton Review has also recognized Indiana State among the nation’s “mostgreen” colleges for the past three years and has included the MBA program in the Scott College of Business among the nation’s best for 10 straight years.

Trees planted at ISU to replace ones lost to parasite Dave Taylor

ISU Communications and Marketing

The Indiana State University campus is a little shadier these days thanks to the recent planting of dozens of trees.

Ranging from 25-foot tall Siena Glen maple and American elms to smaller Canada chokecherry and tulip trees, about 45 trees were transplanted from university-owned tree farms to replace some of the more than 100 ash trees that have succumbed to the emerald ash borer in recent years.

About 2,500 trees adorn the Indiana State campus, helping secure it’s designation as a Tree Campus USA from the Arbor Day Foundation. The transplanted trees came from three of 15 tree farms the university maintains on Terre Haute’s Central East and Near North sides.

“We have surplus properties to maintain and planting tree farms is the best use of these properties,” said Stephanie Krull, landscape and grounds manager. “Lots used for tree farms require less maintenance because grass grows slower in the shade, trees improve the appearance of a neighborhood and contribute to higher property values and cleaner air.”

The university uses a tree spade to transplant trees because that method is healthier for trees than digging and wrapping them, Krull explained.

“Spade-transplanted trees are

better for us because it is less stressful for the trees, allow us to choose from more varieties and provides greater flexibility in scheduling,” she said. “This method also provides instant shade at a much lower cost than nursery trees.”

The university has its own tree spade capable of handling trees up to 5 ½ inches in diameter, but the drought of 2012 put transplanting behind schedule.

That means many recently transplanted trees were too large for the university’s spade, requiring the use of a 90-inch spade from Bellinger’s Tree Care in Lafayette.

Look for transplanting of trees to continue at Indiana State, which Krull estimates will lose another 100 ash trees to emerald ash borer in coming years. However, about 180 ash trees, including some impressive ones on the north side of Hulman Center, are thriving after being treated to protect against the threat.

The university has a good track record when it comes to transplanting. Krull said the past success rate has been between 85 and 90 percent.

In addition to maple, elm, tulip tree and chokecherry, other newly transplanted trees at Indiana State are yellowwood, various species of oak, Norway spruce, linden, serviceberry, and sweetgum. Krull stressed that sweetgum, which provide excellent shade but produce spiky balls that annoy pedestrians and can even lead to falls, are planted only in backlot areas.

Director Aleksander Bach has a reel of music videos and TV ads to his credit, and a knack for getting his actors to strike dramatic poses between rounds of artillery fire.

ISU soccer opens season with a pair of nailbiting losses Game 1 The Indiana State soccer team opened up regular season action against the Idaho Vandals on Friday afternoon on the campus of the University of Montana.

The Sycamores fell 3-1 and are now 0-10 in 2015. Idaho improves to 1-0-0 with the win. The match marks the first-ever meeting between the Sycamores and the Vandals.

ISU got on the board early, scoring a goal in the third minute. Maddie Schaak lofted a cross from the right side of the box where Sydney Loesing was waiting to head it home and put the Sycamores up 1-0.

The final 42 minutes of the first half went scoreless as the Sycamores took a 1-0 lead to halftime.

Three goals in the second half proved to be the difference as Idaho took the match.

Brittany San Roman started and played all 90 minutes in goal and saved seven shots.

Brice Bement led the Sycamores with

two shots. Loesing scored on her only shot attempt for her sixth career-goal.

Sydney Lovelace and Kate Johnson each contributed a shot during the contest.

Game 2 The Indiana State soccer team wrapped up its first weekend of regular season action in Missoula, Montana on Sunday afternoon. The Sycamores fell 4-3 in double overtime as the comeback attempt against the Montana Grizzlies fell short at South Campus Stadium on the campus of the University of Montana.

ISU now falls to 0-2, while the Grizzlies improve to 1-0-1. ISU was down 3-0 in the 50th minute before launching a comeback and forcing a double overtime situation, its first overtime experience of the young season.

Head Coach Erika True had the following to say about the contest. “I thought the second half of this game was hopefully a turning point for this team. It was good to see key players scoring goals and contributing to the final product. It was

an unfortunate result but a great game to propel us into our first home weekend.”

The Grizzlies took the lead in the 18th minute. Mary Grintz sent in a cross, which was deflected in to give Montana the early 1-0 lead.

Montana tacked on another goal in the first half. In the 38th minute, Chanelle Peterson took a shot from the top of the box and beat the diving Sycamore keeper on the right side to give the Grizzlies a 2-0 lead.

The Grizzlies added a goal in the 50th minute to take a commanding 3-0 lead.

ISU stormed back starting in the 53rd minute. Brice Bement played in a ball from the right of the box, and found Sydney Lovelace in front of the net, who chipped it over the keeper to get ISU on the board.

Lovelace added another goal in the 57th minute. Lovelace received a pass from Kate Johnson and took her shot which was deflected back to her off of a Grizzly defender. Lovelace’s second shot beat the keeper and cut the lead to 3-2.

Maddie Orf added the equalizer in the 65th minute. Ashley Gibbons played a ball into the box where Orf was able to beat the Montana keeper on the left and tie the match.

Montana delivered the game-winning goal in the 107th minute. Grintz took the throw-in and tossed it to the left side of the box to Dani Morris. Morris then lifted a shot over the keeper into the netting on the right to give the Grizzlies the 4-3 victory.

Lovelace led the team with six shots, including three on goal while scoring twice. Orf and Johnson each tallied two shots, with Orf scoring once. Bement and Gibbons recorded their first-career assists in the contest.

Brittany San Roman played all 90 minutes in net for the Sycamores, picking up five saves. ISU added one team save during the contest.

The Sycamores return to action on Friday as they play host to the Belmont Bruins at Memorial Stadium at 7 p.m.
