New SGA era elected into office last week Rileigh McCoy News Editor

Runoff elections took place last week for the Student Government Association’s president and vice president positions that will take effect fall semester.

SGA had to hold a runoff election after spring break due to the first election before spring break resulting in a tied vote. Candidates Tanner Smith and Justin Ottino were elected against runner up Sammy Velazquez and Mariangle Morales.

Smith and Ottino have plans for a better campus when it comes to parking, diversity and game days.

“I want to give students more reasons to be proud of their

school,” said President-elect Tanner Smith. “If we can make SGA an exciting, driving force for change at ISU, I think we will accomplish this.”

Despite the recent attempted and partially succeeded impeachments, Smith and Ottino will not be able to take office any sooner than expected.

“Even though the recent (notpassed) impeachments, and vote of no confidence in the current SGA president, we would not take office sooner than expected,” said Vice President-elect Justin Ottino. “We will officially be sworn into office on April 30 at the SGA Banquet.”

During this time period, Smith and Ottino will further be able to develop the finer details

of their plan in order to get an early, successful start.

Smith and Ottino plan to improve parking and diversity on campus along with creating more interactive game days to boost student attendance.

“We are planning to meet with, at some point soon, university administrators to discuss how to remedy some of the biggest complaints with parking,” Smith said. “Ideally, we would like to see ISU implement a parking system that would utilize RFID chips to track which lots are full/have the most open lots. This system would help students see, via a LED sign at each lot entrance and/or mobile app,

ings and 12 homicides. And violence is on a similar pace in 2017.

Because the Tribune violence database defines shootings by addresses and not neighborhoods, the ZIP code that covers Oakland is linked to sections of other neighborhoods.

But homicide entries are defined by specific neighborhoods.

Dr. Michael Malone, who worked in Englewood for 11 years before spending the past four years in Bronzeville, said he has many patients who are dealing with trauma and struggling with PTSD. “Sometimes the PTSD is missed or a lot of times, it could be the patient not being forthcoming with past trauma or past physical abuse, and it’s something that is definitely out there,” said Malone, who is Stingley’s doctor. “Unfortunately in the inner city where we are, that’s something that needs to be addressed more, and the study was right on. As I’m reading through it, I’m thinking of different patients in my head that we’ve diagnosed.”

For Stingley, life dramatically changed when her 19-year-old daughter Marissa Boyd-Stingley was gunned down blocks from their home.

“She was like, ‘I love you so much Ma, don’t nobody love you like I love you,’” Nortasha Stingley recalled her daughter saying before she left.

The teen was shot in the head while a passenger in a car stopped at 73rd Street and King Drive.

After Stingley found out, she screamed at

Author and poet Tom C. Hunley will come to Indiana State University as part of the Theodore Dreiser Visiting Writers Series this Thursday.

“Tom C. Hunley holds degrees from University of Washington, Eastern Washington University and Florida State University. He is the author of five full-length poetry collections, most recently ‘The State That Springfield Is In,’” said Amy Ash, assistant professor of English and a coordinator of the series.

“The State Springfield Is In” is a “book of persona poems from the point of view of different characters from The Simpson’s, and its mix of personal themes and concerns with pop-culture approaches really resonates with students,” Ash said. The book’s title is a take on a running joke from the series that the audience never knows which state’s Springfield the show takes place.

“The Simpsons Movie” has a line spoken by Ned Flanders about the four states that border the town Ohio, Nevada, Maine and Kentucky.

The Theodore Dreiser Visiting Writers Series tries to bring in “writers from all over the country, maybe people that aren’t as well known or up and coming contemporary writers,” said Ashley Rogers, a graduate teaching assistant in the English Department and the president of the ISU Creative Writing Society. One of the goals of the series is to bring in writers who have a new perspective on a subject that students already know about. “Everybody loves ‘The Simpsons,’ everybody knows ‘The Simpsons.’ Does everybody know that there is a poet who has written an entire book about ‘The Simpsons’?” Rogers said, emphasizing how Hunley exemplifies this goal. Hunley is a person who looks at a pop culture icon through a different lens than others, and presents his

PTSD in black women needs attention, study of Chicago South Side group says Grace Wong

Chicago Tribune (TNS)

CHICAGO — Nortasha Stingley doesn’t remember a lot about the weeks after her 19-year-old daughter was shot and killed nearly four years ago. All she could do was cry. All she wanted to do was scream.

After Stingley lost 40 pounds in a matter of weeks, her sister finally took her to see a doctor, and she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stress disorder.

“It’s still a battle,” said Stingley, 40. “I died and they just forgot to bury me. It’s a struggle.”

Like Stingley, many African-American women in disadvantaged neighborhoods have PTSD, experts say. A recent Northwestern Medicine study that examined the South Side neighborhood of Oakland found that 29 percent of the 72 African-American study participants have the disorder and an additional 7 percent exhibited a large number of signs that are part of a PTSD diagnosis.

Researchers said they believe that points to a need for more mental health services and screenings in poor neighborhoods.

Stingley, who lived in Park Manor at the time of her daughter’s death, was not part of the research.

Women who already had mild to severe depressive symptoms were chosen for the study, which was published in the Journal of Racial and Ethnic Health Disparities, a peer-reviewed publication, in December.

PTSD is a potentially debilitating anxiety disorder that may develop after exposure to

a shocking, scary or dangerous event, according to the National Institute of Mental Health.

Participants in the study all reported details about traumatic experiences, like witnessing a son being shot more than 10 times, domestic violence, car accidents or a father being killed at home. Exposure to violent crime is more likely to occur in disadvantaged communities, according to the study.

Living in an environment of poverty and violence can worsen pre-existing depression or trigger the onset of a new depressive episode, researchers found. It also can lead to PTSD or subthreshold PTSD, meaning a number of symptoms characterizing PTSD are present.

“People are struggling,” said Inger Burnett-Zeigler, a clinical psychologist and one of the authors on the study. “People are struggling severely, and I think that sometimes the negative implications of mental illness are really underestimated.”

According to the 2015 U.S. census, the average income of the Oakland neighborhood was $47,202. The population is heavily dependent on Medicaid, with more than a third needing some kind of assistance.

Other Chicago neighborhoods have worse numbers. Park Manor has an average income of $44,402. The city of Chicago has an average income of $74,003.

As violence surged in 2016, Chicago recorded the deadliest year in nearly two decades. According to Tribune data, the city saw 4,368 shootings and 787 people killed.

In Oakland, 55 people were shot and three killed. In Park Manor, there were 193 shoot-

Snap shares jump as IPO insiders encourage buying or holding the stock Paresh Dave

Los Angeles Times (TNS)

Shares of Snapchat maker Snap Inc. jumped Monday, closing at their highest price in three weeks.

The leap — shares rose $1.09 a share, or 4.8 percent, to $23.83 — followed several stock analysts’ new recommendations to buy or hold on to shares of the Los Angeles company.

The analysts had been barred from publicizing their calls until Monday because they worked at banks that helped sell stock during Snap’s initial public offering this month. Banks typically wait about 25 days after a company’s IPO before discussing the company in order to avoid sharing

information selectively or saying anything that swings prices during the volatile early days.

Snap shares tumbled after the company recorded Southern California’s largest-ever IPO and debuted in public trading at $24 a share. Analysts not involved in the IPO mostly gave Snap negative recommendations, and short-sellers betting against the company bought up a large of block of shares. The concerns largely stemmed from the Snapchat app’s slowing user growth and from growing competition from Facebook.

Monday’s reports balance out the ratings: According to FactSet, five analysts now say to hold on to Snap shares, six say to buy the shares and five essentially recommend dumping them.

Among those newly weighing in was Jason Helfstein of Oppenheimer & Co., who addressed fears about Facebook copying Snapchat features by saying that on Snapchat, users have fewer but closer connections than on Facebook.

“Competitors will copy the lenses, filters and video formats, but (Snapchat’s) unique social graph is equally important to the user experience,” he said. “Platforms already tainted by ‘over-friending’ will always be imperfect imitators.”

The most bullish recommendation came from RBC Capital Markets’ Mark Mahaney, who suggested shares could hit $31 next year even if the company takes a while to generate a profit.

“We believe that if (Snap) sustains its current level of innovation, it can sustain

premium growth for a long time and scale to profitability,” he said.

Snap shares could see notable movement again soon when it releases its first quarterly financial report as a public company.

There’s also potential for a big swing if key indexes, such as the Standard & Poor’s 500, exclude Snap because its publicly traded shares have no voting power.

Several investor advocacy groups, most recently the Investment Association in Britain, have called on index managers to keep Snap off because they consider it too risky not to have a say in choosing board members, executive compensation and acquisitions. Many funds invest based on what’s included in indexes, making the forthcoming decisions crucial.

Special Collections adds centuries-old works in anatomical study The newest additions to Indiana State University’s Special Collections at Cunningham Memorial Library aren’t the average flap books.

Produced by Anna Fisher in Paris in the 1900s, “Antique Anatomie Comparative” is a rare and collectible moveable book with multi-layered chromolithography to illustrate the anatomy of a man and a woman. It allows viewers to explore the insides of the human body as they lift flaps that uncover organs and body parts. For viewers who can read French, this piece comes with a warning on the cover that reads “For adults only.”

Like “Antique Anatomie Comparative,” viewers of “Antique Anatomie La Femme” can lift flaps that uncover organs and body parts of the subject in the flap book, which was produced in Paris in the 1870s

by A. Malonine and depicts the anatomy of a pregnant woman using multi-layered chromolithography.

“What is most intriguing about these two books is that they were meant to be used for anatomical study through the act of virtual autopsy,” said Cinda May, associate librarian and chair of special collections. “One lifts the flaps to expose parts of the body as they would be seen during a dissection.”

Both pieces were purchased to supplement black-and-white ink drawings of the bones and muscles in the arm and shoulder that date back to the 1880s. The four sheets of sepia drawings have manuscript titles and descriptions in German and consist of 12 anatomical drawings, includ-

ing eight representing the skeleton and muscles of an extended and flexed arm and four drawings representing the scapula and clavicle with all of the bones and muscles numbered and identified on the manuscript.

There are also two sheets of ink drawings of 14 individual representations of the human head and face and 29 representations of fully fleshed faces depicting a series of physiognomic studies based

Johann Kaspar Lavater’s famous “Physiognomische.”

They may have been intended for Christoph Roth’s “Plastisch-Anatomischer Atlas,” although it appears this particular set of drawings was never published.

May knew the pieces would make perfect additions at Indiana State, because of their ability to be used as educational resources to help nursing students glean insight into medical practices and beliefs

of the past.

Lynnette Coffey, a nursing instructor in the College of Health and Human Services, has already made use of the acquisition.

“I was a new professor at ISU and I was reaching out to everything and anything that I thought was impactful and would give my course some wow, so I coordinated with the library to take the students over there and they got to see works from Florence Nightingale and Clara Barton and an old medical kit,” Coffey said. “Our first nurse theorist was Florence Nightingale, and we have her works right here in our midst at ISU. It’s things like this in Special Collections that we can use to show students where the profession began.”

Coffey linked Special Collections content with lessons in ethics in nursing and nursing research.

“The students really loved it,” she said.

“I wanted my students to feel and look at everything, examine the writings and see how patients were described then compared to how we do it today. It was an amazing experience for my students, as it would be for any student in any field, to be able to see the things that (Special Collections) has to offer.”

While security is always a concern because of the rarity of the items, May said special collections departments everywhere have made a gradual move over the past decade to transform the image people have of stuffy places filled with dusty,

Health Secretary Tom Price still holds Trump cards in Obamacare outcome

Tony Pugh McClatchy Washington Bureau

With the Trump administration reeling from the failure of the GOP health care bill, many are wondering whether Health and Human Services Secretary Tom Price will now work to undermine or support the embattled health law.

His involvement or inaction could ultimately determine the viability of the individual insurance market, the fate of Obamacare insurance marketplaces and the future of health coverage for nearly 20 million Americans.

“There are 1,442 citations in #ACA where it says ‘The secretary shall … ’ or ‘The secretary may … ’ @HHSGov, we’ll look at every single one,” Price tweeted on March 17.

Given his contempt for the Affordable Care Act, it’s hard to imagine Price working to strengthen the law.

President Donald Trump already has said Obamacare will “explode” under its own weight as a lack of young, healthy plan members and rising premiums cause insurers to leave the market.

Although health experts and the Congressional Budget Office disagree with Trump’s assessment, most stakeholders agree that Price has the power and authority to be the triggerman if the Affordable Care Act were to fail.

“If the administration wants to destroy the individual market, it’s not going to be too hard for them to do,” said Timothy Jost, an emeritus professor of law at Washington and Lee University

in Lexington, Va. Simply not enforcing the health law’s individual-coverage mandate could destabilize the marketplace because millions of young, healthy plan members would presumably drop their insurance if they didn’t face Internal Revenue Service penalties for not having coverage.

That would likely leave plans with a disproportionate share of sicker, costlier enrollees and force insurers to hike premiums to pay for them.

But the easiest way for Price to cause a marketplace failure, Jost said, would be to withhold federal cost-sharing reduction payments, which are slated to pay insurers roughly $9 billion this year.

“You pull $9 billion out of the market and the insurance companies would leave. They

certainly wouldn’t be back for 2018,” Jost said.

The cost-sharing payments cut out-of-pocket costs, like deductibles and copayments, for low-income marketplace plan members. The health law authorized the payments but didn’t specifically fund them.

When Congress implemented the mandatory “sequestration” cuts to the federal budget, the Obama administration removed the ACA subsidies from a list of programs that were slated for reductions and moved them to an IRS account that isn’t subject to the appropriation process. It’s the same account used to pay for the tax credits that help people pay for marketplace coverage.

In a 2014 federal lawsuit by Republicans in the House of Representatives against then-President

Sycamores trained in substance abuse cases A substance abuse training model is helping Indiana State University’s social work, nursing and physician assistant students make a real-world impact.

The College of Health and Human Services received the Screening, Brief, Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) federal grant through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration two years ago. Now fully implemented, it trains social work, nursing and physician assistant students to screen for risky alcohol and drug use behaviors and provide intervention.

“It’s a federal grant that looks at substance abuse and mental health issues,” said Jennifer Todd, program director.

The grant provides future healthcare professionals with methods to locate and assess substance abuse in the early stages, provide intervention and

make a treatment referral.

“It’s not a treatment, it’s to train new professionals in the field, and how to basically screen patients for harmful drinking and substance use,” Todd said.

“The basic premise is to take this grant, train these students that are going to work in your communities and use this prevention model.”

The grant is being used in a variety of ways, from training, to coursework, to real-world approaches. State offers two classes to teach the SBIRT model - a one credit hour class and a substance abuse class. The classes are offered as electives and open to all majors but are also included in the social work and nursing major degree program.

“We’ve done curriculum in a few ways, depending on the department. We have looked at the courses within each program that could fit,” Todd said. “For

example, nursing has a psychiatric nursing class where the model was delivered in that class.

The PA program is considered a clinical skill, so we included it into their clinical hours. In social work, we include it in the assessment and screening model.”

Not only is the model being taught in the classroom, but also because of the grant funding, professionals in the community are being trained in this approach as well. Integrating the method into the professional field is beneficial to current facilities and to future practitioners.

“The best part, I think, is this idea that our students often go back and work in communities that have a lot of issues with alcohol and substance abuse,” Todd said. “This model is one of the ways to equip our students with the tools to go and do a prevention approach.”

Now, students are graduating

with extra resources to be more impactful with the community.

“Oftentimes when people get to the point where they are dependent or addicted, we don’t always have the resources. I like that our students are getting another tool before they leave to have a concrete intervention approach,” Todd said.

The effects of the grant are also built to be long-lasting, so these courses and opportunities won’t fade after the funding is finished. “(Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration) is asking us by year three to build something sustainable,” Todd said. “So after the grant, we have to make sure the model is still being taught.”

More than 400 students are expected to go through the threeyear training program, and they complete surveys for the course.

Viacom Inc. named Jim Gianopulos the new chairman and chief executive of Paramount Pictures, handing the veteran film executive one of the toughest assignments in Hollywood: turning around the struggling movie studio.

Viacom Chief Executive Bob Bakish announced the move Monday, bringing to a close a monthlong search to replace Paramount’s former chairman, Brad Grey, who was ousted in February after a string of box office disappointments and years of financial declines.

Gianopulos will oversee the studio’s film and television operations worldwide, including production, marketing and distribution, according to Viacom. He has been asked to design a new strategy for Paramount, including strengthening Paramount’s film slate with co-branded releases from Viacom flagship brands, such as MTV, Nickelodeon and Comedy Central, as well as expanding the studio’s global footprint.

“Jim is a remarkably talented executive with all the tools — strategic vision, strong business expertise, deep industry and creative relationships — to bring films to life that resonate throughout culture and deliver commercial results,” Bakish said in a statement. “I’m thrilled we will have the benefit of his experience, savvy and global expertise as we lay out a clear path forward and begin the next chapter in Paramount’s storied history.”

Gianopulos’ move to Paramount was a quick rebound for the well-regarded media executive. He was ousted from his position running 20th Century Fox filmed entertainment last year when the Rupert Murdoch-controlled company decided to shake things up and place Stacey Snider in charge of filmed entertainment. Gianopulos spent 16 years at Fox. His future had been the subject of much speculation in Hollywood. The executive was considered to be a candidate to replace Sony Pictures’ outgoing CEO, Michael Lynton, and had been in talks to lead Legendary Entertainment under Chinese owner Dalian Wanda Group.

The hiring of Gianopulos, who ran Fox during a period when it produced such hit franchises as “X-Men” and “Avatar,” could be a

“I had literally lost my mind.

I snapped,” Stingley said. “I was just gone. … I just remember trying to figure out where she was at, and I just couldn’t understand.”

Since then she has been through therapy, rounds of medications and treatments to combat PTSD. Her body has changed, and frequent doctors visits are now a regular part of her life.

“She was just not herself, and you could tell,” Malone said about her first visit after the shooting. “She took it incredibly hard, as any mother would, but she was a completely different person, so to speak, when we saw her that day and has been since that day to some degree, unfortunately.”

that make us different, without fear of reprise or attack,” Smith said. “Especially given the political climate of the country, we think it is important that SGA helps students appreciate all the things that make us different and ultimately better.”

Smith and Ottino explained that their plan for improving diversity is to do it through stronger partnerships with student leaders and organizations.

“Better parking, better diversity, better game-days,” Ottino said. “I personally hope we can achieve that while in our positions. I want to ensure all branches of SGA are transparent and open with one another so we

can work together to overall enhance the student’s experience.”

Smith and Ottino further explained the duties of their upcoming positions within SGA. “The specific job duties for the president/VP and all the directors are listed on the SGA Code,” Smith said. “In general, and most importantly, the SGA president is the voice of the students. It is my duty to make sure the students are properly represented at the university. This means attending Board of Trustee’s meetings, serving on search committees, meeting with the university’s administrators and also investigating and addressing student concerns. Addition-

ally, it will be my job to make sure the SGA office is helping students get the most out of their Sycamore experience across the board.”

Ottino explained that his position involves other requirements.

“As vice president, I serve as the SGA liason to student organizations, oversee the Student Organization Resource Funding (SORF) process as a nonvoting member, conduct the workshops for the SORF process and fulfill and other duties that are assigned,” Ottino said.

Other positions are opening up within SGA and applications will be available this week.

fired. Bakish has since signaled a dramatic rethinking of how the studio will make movies.

Viacom Chief Financial Officer Wade Davis met with the Chinese co-financiers in Shanghai for four hours earlier this month in an effort to keep the deal on track.

Gianopulos will face a difficult challenge as he tries to return the studio to financial health after it lost $445 million last year. The company has weathered multiple flops, including “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows,” “Rings” and “Monster Trucks,” which resulted in a $115 million write-down for Viacom before the movie was released.

The box office woes have come at a tough time for major Hollywood studios grappling with new ways to reach younger au-

diences who aren’t going to the theater as much as their parents did.

Paramount has suffered from two major problems: the quantity and the quality of movies it chooses to make. The studio has long promised to ramp up its release schedule to as many as 17 movies a year, a big boost from recent years when it put out eight to 12. And while “Transformers” and “Mission: Impossible” films have continued to show strength, movies such as Martin Scorsese’s “Silence” and Brad Pitt’s “Allied” proved to be poor bets.

A major sticking point of Gianopulos’ negotiations with Viacom brass was how much autonomy he would be granted while trying to return the studio to health. Viacom balked at Gianopulos’ insistence that he

would have broad authority to green-light major films.

Bakish, on the other hand, was looking for an executive who would not run Paramount as a silo, but as part of a larger media conglomerate that can cross-promote its brands.

Viacom’s new chief, who took over in December, has called for more collaboration with Viacom’s cable networks, such as Comedy Central and Nickelodeon, and has expressed frustration that Comedy Central stars such as Amy Schumer and Jordan Peele have turned out hits for other studios. Gianopulos is expected to have green-light authority over all but the most expensive movies, those that cost more than $100 million to make.

It’s going to be funny; it’s going to be engaging; it’s going to be something that we don’t necessarily get in

an academic environment.”

Hunley’s reading will take place in the University Art Gallery of the Landini Center Performing and Fine Arts at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday.

A question and answer session and a book signing will follow the reading.

Mental health resources on the community level are needed, but crime victim services also are crucial, said Susan Johnson, executive director of Chicago Survivors.

They can help educate, support and counsel those who have been exposed to violence, whether directly or indirectly. No one gets used to seeing dead bodies or hearing gunfire, Johnson said, and those stressors have a “profound effect” on the ability to function.

Malone said talking to patients immediately after they have been exposed to trauma helps the healing process, but often there aren’t enough mental health providers in disadvantaged neighborhoods to do that.

Stingley said educating people about PTSD and increasing mental health services would be a huge benefit. But most days, she just wants someone who will listen without judgment.

“We have to figure out ways that we can get it out better and get help because it’s like a cancer,” Stingley said. “When you hold things in, cancer, what does it do? It eats you from the inside out.”

The Obama administration appealed the ruling, and the case is on hold in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia.

If Price decided to simply drop the appeal, insurers would be on the hook for payments they are required by the health law to make, Jost said.

But doing so would undermine Price’s efforts to boost insurers through a series of proposed rule changes designed to stabilize the marketplace.

Those rules allow insurers to cover smaller portions of plan members’ medical costs, which allows them to offer cheaper plans that put more out-of-pocket expenses on enrollees.

Price could also weaken the ACA’s Medicaid expansion by allowing states to impose work requirements and premium contributions on 11 million newly eligible Medicaid enrollees.

In a recent letter to the nation’s governors, Price and Medicaid Administrator Seema Verma said the “expansion of Medicaid through the Affordable Care Act to non-disabled, working-age adults without dependent children was a clear departure from the core, historical mission of the program.”

Women’s History Month celebrates Kate Deb’s success Adrienne Morris Reporter

March is Women’s History Month, a month of celebration and appreciation for women across the world. During this month, Indiana State University recognizes women’s history with the Women’s History Month Colloquium. The Women’s History Month Colloquium allows students, faculty and staff to become educated about various women’s issues and their unique stories.

One of the first events of the Women’s History Month Colloquium was a presentation by Michelle Morahn, an instructor for the department of history, which took place in the Events Area at the Cunningham Memorial Library. In her presentation, Morahn focused on the life of Kate Debs, a native of Terre Haute and the wife of Eugene V. Debs and a candidate for the Socialist Party of America for President of the United States.

Multiple records of Kate Debs have often reflected negative depictions of her character. Morahn wanted to discover if the information regarding Kate Debs was correct, so she decided to dedicate her time to doing research of Debs’ life.

Morahn discussed how she wanted to clear the negative notions of Debs’ life that were discovered to be false accusations.

“No one has ever looked into her life, and I simply wanted to correct the record.

So many of the biographies of Gene portrayed her so negatively,” Morahn said.

Morahn’s presentation focused on Kate Debs’ life before and after marrying Eugene V. Debs. It highlighted her time in Terre Haute and her family’s background.

Before Morahn’s presentation, she dis-

cussed how women are not always given a spotlight and their stories often go unnoticed.

“We only look at the men. We don’t look at the women behind them that make them the men that they are, that help them along the way to achieve their goals. Their partnership is just as important,” Morahn said.

Morahn’s presentation consisted of detailed descriptions of Debs’ life, which was accompanied by a slideshow of photographs. The slideshow featured pictures from the well-known areas of Terre Haute, photographs of Debs and her family, and other related images.

Morahn’s research is not completed as she has more research to do and more documents to produce.

“I have a couple more papers. I’m working on an article for Traces Magazine, the magazine of the Indiana Historical Society. Hopefully someday this is going to be compiled into a book,” Morahn said.

The history of Debs often goes neglected in her hometown of Terre Haute. The presentation provided ISU students with information about her life and how she was a significant member of the Terre Haute community.

“I’m just really happy to be able to tell her story, especially in Terre Haute and especially to young people. As they walk around campus, they can relate to and say, ‘Oh, yeah I know where these people lived,’ or, ‘I’ve seen the Debs house,’ or ‘I’ve been through the Debs house,’ and so I think that is really important,” Morahn said.

The Women’s History Month Colloquium began on March 27 and will end on March 30. All events are free and are open to the public.

Sycamore participates in stage manager mentor project Spring Choral When people began roaming the 57th Annual Conference & Stage Expo in St. Louis on March 9 for the three-day event that attracts 5,500 people from the theater technology field, it was go time for Crystal Johnson.

The Indiana State University theater major from Indianapolis was one of 12 students and young professionals who were selected to spend a week coordinating the expo as part of the United States Institute for Theatre Technology’s Stage Manager Mentor Project.

“I’ve only ever done theater performances, so this was my first time managing a live show, and there were thousands of people that I had to manage,” said Johnson, ‘17, who serves as stage manager for Indiana State’s theater department. “That’s a big difference from the few hundred people that our theater holds, but I like the chaos of stage management.”

The Stage Manager Mentor Project offers students and young professionals interested in stage management the opportunity to work under the direction of professional stage managers as they coordinate and manage the major events of the expo each year in March, where those in the theater and live entertainment industry can network, view technological innovations and learn about career opportunities.

Johnson worked one of the event’s new product showcases, talking with vendors and collecting products from their booths and served as an assistant stage manager during the Tech Olympics.

Learning the ropes of a live event was made easier for first-timers like Johnson, because each participant in the program was assigned a mentor to help pre

How to quit being indecisive about life decisions Susie Moore

greatist.com (TNS)

“Start knowing. Try saying those two words to yourself in a very calm, very wise, very ancient, very adamant voice — the next time you panic. Just say it and then breathe. Then get quiet and see what comes up. I promise you that your very next thought will be the truth.”

— Elizabeth Gilbert “Um, I just knew I had to.”

That’s the answer I’m given (in some form or another) by every successful entrepreneur I’ve ever coached, when I’ve posed the question, “What made you start your business?”

In fact, this answer applies to most significant things. Having a baby. Writing a book. Deciding to take a six-month sabbatical and travel.

Saying yes to curiosity and accepting that first date. Yes to that (scary!) promotion. Yes to that unlikely opportunity to move to a new city, start blogging, buy a puppy.

When something is stirring within you, stop saying, “I don’t know!” Because you do. Here’s why: 1. LOGIC IS LIMITED Logic has a place in the world, yes. We can do the numbers. We can consider the options and the outcomes. We can weigh the pros and cons until the cows come home. But the most important decisions in life are seized by instinct. We feel them. That’s why

Dreamstime

When something is stirring within you, stop saying, “I don’t know!”

Because you do.

confident decision-making is so commonly referred to as “listening to your gut.” Logic isn’t everything — and it never can be.

2. YOUR ANSWER EXISTS, BUT YOUR PERMISSION MIGHT NOT Most often what’s lacking from our inner knowing is the absence we permit ourselves to obey our own call. We might think, “But I have a decent job, friends, a good family… must I want more/something else/ something different?”

The answer is yes, if something stirs within you. Because you cannot eradicate your desires.

All that’s missing is your permission to let them become real.

3. YOU ARE STUCK IN JUDGMENT When you type an address into Google Maps, it tells you the

fastest route and the time it will take you to get there from your current location. That’s it. All it needs is where you are right now and the destination. It doesn’t ask, “Wait, have you been there before? But are you sure? Where were you yesterday/last week/ last year?”

A big part of truly knowing what you want and going for it is losing what’s happened in the past as a barometer of where-tofrom-here. Maybe you regret not taking a job because it scared you. Maybe you regret breaking off a relationship because commitment freaked you out.

Forget (and forgive yourself!) for what you have or haven’t done until now. It’s all OK! All that matters is today and what’s next for you. Yes, really.

4. INTUITION IS REAL (IT’S

IN THERE!) If you don’t feel intuitively guided, it just means you are not fully aligned with yourself in the present moment. Maybe you are stressed out, over-tired, or over-thinking. That’s OK too.

You might just need some quiet time or more sleep.

A clear (rested) head provides massive mental and emotional clarity. “Sleep on it” is sage advice.

5. FEAR IS YOUR FILTER Fear is behind every excuse we give ourselves to keep saying, “I don’t know!” So ask yourself: “If fear could leave my body for just a few seconds, what would I do next?”

Try this for a few minutes. Sit down. Relax your shoulders. Do whatever it takes to even make your body feel even 5 percent more comfortable. Take 20 deep, calming breaths (not just two or three).

Imagine that, just for a few minutes, fear could leave your body entirely — poof! Without fear as a meddler, what comes up for you? What do you really, truly know for sure?

The answers to your life’s questions begin and end with you. You’re the only person who knows what you truly want. So stop asking around. Stop saying “I don’t know!” Turn inward.

Start knowing. It might not be easy, but you do have the answers, don’t you?

And you are ready for them. I promise.

The Indiana State University School of Music will present a Spring Choral Showcase Concert at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 7 in the University Hall Theater.

The program will feature the Indiana State Women’s Choir, Concert Choir and Sycamore Singers.

“This concert is the culmination of a very busy stretch for the students in our choral program,” said Scott Buchanan, director of choral activities at State. “Two weeks ago, our Lyric Theater Workshop students gave wonderfully entertaining performances here on campus. Those were followed by a well-received performance of The National Anthem by the Sycamore Singers for the Indiana Pacers. And, just this past weekend, the Concert Choir took a four-day trip to Chicago, where they were part of a National Festival Chorus that performed in famed Orchestra Hall. Additionally, they performed a separate concert for the ISU alumni who live in the Chicagoland area. So, we’ve been pretty busy.”

Friday’s program will feature three of State’s choral ensembles. The Concert Choir, under the direction of Buchanan, will perform the same program they sang in Chicago, featuring works

by Dale Grotenhuis, J.S. Bach, Daniel Elder, Susan Brumfield, David Dickau and Jake Runestad. Angela Scherer will serve as the accompanist.

“When I selected the music for the National Festival Chorus, I wanted to make sure it would be enjoyed by both the singers and the audience. So, I picked some things our audiences have enjoyed in the past,” Buchanan said.

The Women’s Choir will also offer a diverse program including selections by Franz Schubert, George Bizet, Laura Farnell, Eric Whitacre and David Childs. Yana Weinstein will conduct and Seth Jines will serve as the accompanist.

The Sycamore Singers will open the concert with a variety of vocal jazz charts, including old, familiar tunes such as “Blue Skies” and “Lullaby of Birdland.”

Buchanan also conducts the Sycamore Singers, and Angela Scherer is their accompanist.

The concert is free and open to the public. For more information, call 812-237-4590.

The University Hall Theater is located in the Bayh College of Education building.

“The mentors were one of the

Wednesday, March. 29, 2017 • Page 5 best parts of the experience because of the professional stage managers that each of the participants got partnered with,” she said. “The mentors would introduce us to the vendors and help us network with people at the conference. My mentor works as a professional state manager at Shanghai Disney and there was another mentor there who works in Australia, so it was cool to get the perspective of people who work in different environments.

I had such a great time and

learned so much that I didn’t really think about the lack of sleep I got until the very end.”

Johnson was directed to the mentorship program and helped through the application process

by Tresa Makosky, a lecturer in the theater department.

“I knew it would be an excellent opportunity to experience the USITT conference from a different perspective,” Makosky said. “Crystal was able to be a part of the team who managed the live events at the conference,

as well as giving her the opportunity to work with and network with many professional stage managers. It is an excellent transition from student stage manager to the professional world.”

Johnson was selected from hundreds applicants who were required to be in at least the second year of their post-secondary education and submit a resume, current photo, letter with goals and reason they want to participate and two letters of recommendation to be considered for

the experience.

“Our mentors told us that this experience was ‘food for the soul.’

It definitely was for me,” Johnson said. “It was a life-changing event, and I never could have imagined that I would learn and grow as much as both a person and a state manager. I came back with a whole new drive.”

The only thing Trump’s border wall will block is common sense Los Angeles Times (TNS) The Trump administration is accepting proposals from contractors for preliminary designs and prototypes for the first sections of the president’s ballyhooed wall along the border with Mexico. If it’s built, the project will be a boondoggle of legendary proportions and likely will become the subject of historic ridicule. Why? Because Trump’s silly wall can’t possibly address much of the problem he seeks to fix.

It’s hard to count people hiding in the shadows, but the best estimates put the current U.S. population of undocumented immigrants at 11 million to 12 million people. The Pew Research Center reports that a long growth trend in illegal immigration began around 1990, when the undocumented population was about 3.5 million, then rose steadily to a peak of 12.2 million in 2007 and since has ebbed to a stable 11.7 million people. But those folks, obviously enough, are already here — about three-quarters of them have lived in the U.S. for more than a decade, and only 14 percent have been here for less than five years.

Our undocumented neighbors are not newcomers.

Pew says net illegal immigration has shifted in recent years, with more Mexicans leaving the country than entering, a function of the U.S. economy’s slow recovery from the 20072009 recession and improved job opportunities in Mexico.

The Border Patrol similarly has charted a decrease in apprehensions along the Mexican border, from an average of 1.16 million a year between 2000 and 2006, to 858,638 in 2007, bottoming out at 327,577 in 2011. Driven partly by an influx of Central American children and families, who tend to turn themselves in upon arrival to seek asylum, apprehensions rebounded to 408,870 last year. Given that diminished human flow, and the fact that more people are leaving than arriving, it hardly seems worth the expense of building a wall that the Department of Homeland Security estimated would cost $21.6 billion (other estimates run much higher).

Trump has milked the melodrama of a border wall, but he ignores the likelihood that it would be ineffectual at stopping people from entering the coun-

It turns out Donald Trump is not an Artist of the Deal Doyle McManus Los Angeles Times (TNS) “Winning is everything,” Donald Trump often said as he campaigned for president. “Nothing is presidential except victory.”

Last week, Trump suffered a major defeat when he couldn’t force a House vote for the health care bill he endorsed. But Trump being Trump, he said it wasn’t really a defeat; it was a success in disguise.

“Here’s the good news,” he told the Washington Post. “Health care is now totally the property of the Democrats. … I’ve been saying for years that the best thing is to let Obamacare explode and then go make a deal.”

That’s not how the presidency is supposed to work, of course.

Voters aren’t likely to blame Democrats for the fact that Republicans couldn’t get their act together. Nor should they. Besides, only a month ago, Trump renewed his pledge to replace Obamacare “immediately” — with “something great.” His failure isn’t just a broken promise; it means he’s abandoning, at least temporarily, one of his party’s central goals.

The way Trump’s effort failed raises a larger question with consequences for the rest of his agenda: Does the president understand his own job description? Although he’s gloried in the showy, imperial parts of the presidency — speaking at ral-

lies, signing executive orders — a big part of any president’s job consists of steering his agenda through Congress. And many of Trump’s priorities, including tax reform, will require legislation.

That means persuading members of Congress to vote yes, a task that should be easier when the president’s party controls both houses.

But on his first time out, it didn’t work. The great marketer wasn’t very persuasive — even among his putative allies.

What went wrong?

First, Trump never bothered to learn the details of the bill he was trying to sell. “Nobody knew health care could be so complicated,” he declared last month.

Second, Trump signaled repeatedly that that his heart wasn’t in the effort — that he’d be just as happy, maybe happier, if the bill didn’t pass. His aides insisted that it not be called “Trumpcare”; they preferred “Ryancare,” implicitly assigning blame to the Speaker of the House. What congressman would be eager to vote for a flawed bill if the president wasn’t fully committed?

Third, Trump never sold the bill to the public. His spokesman claimed last week that he “left everything on the field,” but that didn’t include something as simple as giving a speech to the nation. Polls showed the bill winning the support of as few as 17 percent of voters, another reason for members of Congress to flee.

Fourth, he couldn’t strongarm wavering lawmakers.

Trump’s main argument was that anyone who voted against the bill would suffer when they ran for reelection. But the members of Congress, most of whom have run more times than the president, didn’t believe him.

One reason is that the lawmakers most opposed to the bill, the far-right Freedom Caucus, don’t need Trump to raise money for their campaigns. Powerful conservative organizations, including the constellation of groups around Charles and David Koch, promised millions of dollars to underwrite them if they voted no.

Meanwhile, moderate Republicans from the Northeast deserted the president for a simpler reason: they fear their voters more than they fear him.

Trump isn’t very popular right now, especially in the New York and California districts many of those moderates are clinging to.

Power is cumulative; it rests on what the late presidential scholar Richard E. Neustadt called “reputation.”

“The greatest danger to a president’s influence,” he wrote, is whether other politicians expect him to succeed or fail. “If his failures seem to form a pattern, the consequence is bound to be a loss of faith in his effectiveness next time.”

That’s why Trump has even more on the line in his next bat-

tle, over tax reform — an issue, he’ll find, that’s every bit as complicated as health care.

I’m going to make a wild guess here and bet that Trump never read Neustadt’s “Presidential Power.” Aides have said that he’s not much of a reader. He is, however, listed as the author of 18 books, and he may find some useful lessons in those works. In “The Art of the Deal,” for example, he weighs the pros and cons of punishing his enemies.

“When people treat me badly … my general attitude, all my life, has been to fight back very hard. The risk is you’ll make a bad situation worse.”

Or he could simply ask for a briefing on how his predecessors have coped with setbacks.

Both Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton had rough first years.

Both had a hard time persuading their own party to enact their agendas, including health care bills. Both saw their standing sag in the polls.

But their presidencies had different outcomes. Carter never quite mastered the art of congressional persuasion; his tenure ended after a single term. Clinton did better, with bipartisan deal-making (on welfare reform) and brinkmanship (on the budget).

Trump hasn’t tried either of those techniques yet. Is he willing to learn from his mistakes?

D.C. missing children should not be ignored Casey Ewart Columnist

Some cities have more missing children reports than others. Washington D.C. has been receiving a lot of attention lately due to the amount of missing children reports.

According to Laura Jarrett, Samantha Reyes and David Shortell of CNN, there have been over 500 missing children reports in Washington D.C. within the

first three months of 2017 alone.

The majority of cases have been closed. However, there are still 22 cases that remain open. The FBI director and the attorney general were asked by lawmakers to look into the cases.

It is incredible how many cases are closed in comparison to the number that remains open.

But the work does not stop if the child is not found after the critical time period after a report is made. There is a fine line that comes with how to get the word out about missing children without scaring the residents of that particular city and without numbing the public from seeing or hearing about missing children reports.

Adrienne LaFrance, writer

for The Atlantic, stated, “In fact, missing children began to pop up everywhere: on grocery bags, videotapes, television commercials, toll tickets, trucks, billboards, utility bills, pizza boxes, telephone directories and beyond.”

Missing children used to be on milk cartons. Now, we do not see them on almost any of the items listed above. This is an issue because some of those items physically enter the home. The milk carton was an item that could be found in most homes.

It would stay in the home until the family was done drinking the milk or the milk expired. This is harder to ignore compared to a television commercial. Anyone like me will change the channel

as soon as a commercial comes on.

Now, police can use social media to provide a quick way to release information about missing children.

The down side of social media is that, believe it or not, not everyone has an account. It does not reach the older generation such as my grandparents who have a computer but do not have internet. It does not reach the people that do not have computers. It does not reach the people that do not log on multiple times a day because they might miss the post from the morning by not scrolling down far enough on the newsfeed.

The public must have all the information about the missing

children to help aid law enforcement in the recovery of children.

With everyone working together, more children can be found.

D.C. Police Department has been persistent with updating their social media including the information related to the missing children. They even post when someone has been found.

They have done a great job at closing so many cases within the first three months.

However, when it comes down to if a child’s life could be in danger, police departments need all hands on deck.

So the next time you think about ignoring stories, news on the television or amber alerts regarding missing children, think twice. It might save a life.

So a wall will just lead smugglers to find new routes and methods — planes, boats and 31-foot ladders for a 30-foot wall — even as it is being built, further undercutting confidence in the barrier’s effectiveness. Nor would Trump’s wall address the growth in illegal immigration from Asia, which outpaces immigration from Latin America.

John McNichols honored by Indiana General Assembly Tyler Wooten

ISU Athletic Media Relations

ISU Athletic Media Relations

McNichols, pictured above, was honored for his life achievements after he died.

Both the Indiana House and Senate passed joint resolutions on Tuesday, honoring the life and achievements of late Sycamore head coach John McNichols, who passed away back in December at the age of 66.

The resolution came about from the efforts of Rep. Clyde Kersey and Sen. Jon Ford.

“The good work of John McNichols has spread far beyond the borders of Terre Haute,” Kersey said. “His influence was felt nationally and internationally through his efforts on the NCAA Track Rules Committee and the 1996 Atlanta Olympic committee.”

“John McNichols was not only a dedicated husband, father, and grandfather, but an outstanding

man and coach,” Kersey concluded. “He will be missed by all who knew him or had the pleasure of coming in contact with him.”

McNichols is the longest tenured head coach in the history of Indiana State University, leading the track & field and cross country programs for 34 highly successful seasons. During his illustrious career, McNichols led the Sycamores to 38 total MVC team titles while coaching 15 NCAA Champions, 10 NCAA Runners-Up, 112 All-Americans and 464 MVC Individual champions.

On top of all that, one of his crowning achievements was the development and construction of the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course, site of 12 NCAA Cross Country Championships since 2002.

COLUMN

Miller the right hire for Hoosiers Rob Lafary Reporter

There was nothing spectacular about his first day on the job.

Outside of the fact that 1,500 people showed up to see day one, it was rather routine in nature.

Decked out in a black suit, white dress shirt and a crimson tie, he stepped up to the podium that sat underneath five national championship banners, and he spoke.

There were neither cliché sayings nor any promises of a sixth banner to be hung, something the fans in front of him have craved for the last 30 years.

But make no mistake about it; Archie Miller is the man meant to be standing behind the podium and the man meant to lead the Indiana Hoosiers.

By no means was this a glamorous hire for one of the most prestigious college basketball programs in the country.

College coaching greats Brad Stevens and Billy Donovan didn’t make the jump back from the NBA, and former IU great Steve Alford is staying put at UCLA, disappointing a host of Hoosier alumni who were dead set that his homecoming would solve all problems and then some.

Even Wichita State head coach Gregg Marshall would have been considered luxurious considering his success in recent years with the Shockers.

But Indiana didn’t need glamorous — they needed blue collar.

They didn’t need a national darling; they needed someone that was all about the Hoosier State.

They didn’t need a savior; they needed a disciple of the game.

Miller fills every need. His voice during his introductory

press conference on Monday inside Assembly Hall resembled that of a humble man, a reminder of his upbringing in Pennsylvania where his dad was a legendary high school coach who influenced not only Archie, but his older brother Sean, who leads a national powerhouse out west at Arizona.

His words, while quiet in nature, were the words Hoosier fans had longed to hear. He said his teams would be “tough minded on defense.”

He promoted his “Inside Out” recruiting strategy, which called for putting in-state players back into Indiana uniforms before reaching out past the Hoosier state to fill empty roster spots.

They were words that nineyear Indiana head coach Tom Crean never spoke of, which ultimately led to his firing two weeks ago. I can’t tell you the last time I actually saw the Hoosiers play defense under Crean, and I watch nearly every game. In nine years as an Indiana head coach, he successfully recruited only 13 in-state players.

Out of those 13, five were either dismissed or transferred.

All-American names like Caleb Swanigan, Kyle Guy, Trey Lyles, Gary Harris, Trevon Bluiett and Bryant McIntosh all chose schools not named IU. Five of those six attended schools beyond the borders.

Under Miller’s watch beginning right now, expect all that to change. He’s already making plans to bring in as many Indiana high school players and coaches to visit his compound in Bloomington.

The man eats, sleeps and breathes the game of basketball.

He’s done it for the last six years at Dayton, and the payoff has

been extraordinary.

One hundred thirty wins, four straight NCAA Tournament appearances and a berth in the 2014 Elitew Eight at a mid-major school is uncommon.

It’s an impressive number that caught the eye of Indiana athletic director Fred Glass, who hasn’t seen a single Hoosier team reach an Elite Eight game since 2002, which also marks the last Final Four and National Championship game appearance by Indiana.

Miller knows the expectations placed before him. Anything less than a return to a championship status and national prominence will spell disaster.

But he accepts the challenge, and his demeanor standing in front of 1,500 people on Monday was that of a head coach who would relentlessly work until the expectations were met.

Will it happen overnight?

Not at Indiana it won’t. Miller potentially inherits a returning roster in 2017 filled to the brim with sharpshooters, height and athleticism, but his installment of tough-minded defense to go along with an offense that cries for constant concentration and ball movement must be drilled into the heads of a team that spent much of this past season in a state of stagnation and pure laziness before fans begin seeing the desired results.

The reign of Crean is over. It’s now “Miller Time.” No more pacing or clapping on the sidelines with the occasional sip of a Diet Coke by a man who lost a lot of respect on the basketball court.

Archie has moved into the neighborhood, and he’s ready to reunite one big Indiana family.

ISU baseball team looks to match up against Indiana university.

Matchup between IU, ISU baseball Andrew Doran Reporter

The Indiana State baseball team will match up against state rival Indiana University on March 29 in Bloomington, Ind. In the 2016 season, IU beat the Sycamores, winning two of the three games played at IU. The Hoosiers, this season, have been above average, as they currently have a 13-8-1, 3-0 Big Ten going into Wednesday’s game against the Sycamores.

Even though it is still early in the season, IU has already had big key wins, including a sweep against Northwestern in first conference play of the season.

The team has also had big series wins against Gonzaga, Middle Tennessee and Hawaii.

One of IU’s key players is sophomore infielder Luke Miller. So far this season, Miller is hitting .338 at the plate with a slugging percentage of .541. Beside the fact of hitting the ball, Miller already has eight walks on the year.

IU freshman standout from Fishers, Ind., Matt Gorski is hitting .354 in 15 games played and

starting in 11 of them. He currently has two homeruns tallied while still slugging .521 on the year. Gorski also uses his speed on the base paths to get the job done for his team; he has only been caught twice this season on six attempts.

Senior outfielder Alex Krupa has also been a huge impact for the Hoosiers. Krupa is hitting relatively good at the plate, where Wednesday he will stand in hitting .328 on the season.

Krupa has three homeruns on the year with nine runs batted in for IU. The pitching staff for IU includes junior RHP Brian Hobbie who stands big on the mound at 6 feet 4 inches and 227 pounds; he has been the lead ace for the Hoosiers.

It is possible that the Sycamores could face him Wednesday as he currently sits 2-1 with a 4.50 era. Indiana State was also able to sweep Oakland last weekend, which gave the team some momentum.

On Wednesday, first pitch will beat 6 p.m. in Bloomington, and can be seen on Big Ten Network.

Sycamores to host Ball State for midweek showdown Tyler Wooten

ISU Athletic Media Relations

Hot off an exciting weekend of action vs. UNI, the Sycamore softball team will host Ball State for a midweek showdown this Wednesday at 5 p.m. Fans can watch live on ESPN3.

Indiana State is coming off an exciting series win at home vs.

UNI, which included two walkoff wins and a narrow one-run loss.

The Sycamores opened the series with a nine-inning slugfest with the Panthers, prevailing on an RBI fielder’s choice in the bottom of the ninth, 5-4.

In the second game of the doubleheader, UNI came out on top 4-3 in a tight contest, but the Sycamores closed out with an exhilarating six-run rally from a 5-0 deficit in the bottom of the seventh to win 6-5.

Ball State stands at 17-17 overall and 2-1 in MAC play after an opening series win vs. Buffalo.

The Cardinals possess a potent offense with a current season run differential of plus-60.

Ball State has pitching to back it up with a team ERA of 3.01 and opposing batting average of

.259.

Ball State holds a 31-25 advantage in the all-time series.

Indiana State has been no stranger to extra inning games and late-inning theatrics this season, as this past weekend vs.

UNI proved.

The Sycamores opened the series with their fourth extra-inning game of the season in a nine-inning walk-off win over UNI. The Sycamores took the series finale and the series win on another walk-off, this time in regulation, on an RBI sacrifice fly to cap off a six-run rally in the final frame to erase a 5-0 UNI lead.

In those extra-inning games this season, the Sycamores are 2-2 – with the other win coming at Louisville.

ISU has been in so many close games late and extra innings contest because the offense has refused to back down in the later innings. The Sycamores have outscored opponents 50-32 in the sixth and seventh innings combined this season and have been able to scrape together six wins when trailing in the fifth inning or later.

Freshman Leslie Sims has started her Sycamore career off

with a bang as ISU’s batting average leader — mostly out of the nine spot in the batting order.

Sims leads Indiana State and ranks fourth in the Valley with a .450 average on 27 hits through 28 games played and 20 games started. Sims is primarily a speed demon on the base paths, using her legs for bunt singles and 14 stolen bases on the season — the third-most in the Valley this year. Sims also owns an insidethe-park grand slam vs. Wright State.

The Sycamores have been a consistently offensive team in 2017, currently sitting at third in the Valley with a team batting average of .303.

The Sycamores also rank highly in on-base (second, .391), runs scored (second, 168), hits (third, 231), RBI (third, 140) and walks (third, 103).

The Sycamores have also been lethal on the base paths, currently leading the Valley with 53 stolen bases. When out-hitting an opponent, the Sycamores are 12-1.

Starting pitcher Kenzie Ihle has transitioned nicely to Division I softball as Indiana State’s workhorse in the circle in 2017.

Ihle has made 22 appearances

in 28 games ISU has played in this season, throwing 106.2 innings of 190.2 total by Indiana State this season. She currently leads ISU in ERA at 3.87 and is second in the Valley with 11 wins at an 11-7 record with 62 strikeouts and holding opponents to a .267 average.

Indiana State’s pitching staff — which is only two starters and one reliever deep — has shown some considerable resiliency throughout the season in keeping the Sycamores in the game and being able to get out of jams.

For instance, the Sycamores have been able to fight back and go 3-1 in games where the ISU pitching staff has yielded two or more home runs to opponents.

All five Sycamore seniors have been crucial to the Indiana State lineup as of late, with all five — SS Kassie Brown, OF Erika Crissman, OF Rylee Holland, C Brooke Riemenschneider and 1B Mary Turitto — starting a combined 116 games this year.

Combined, they own a .290 batting average and 60 RBI on the season.

Sophomore catcher Brooke Mann is having a superb first season at Indiana State as the top slugger for the Sycamores in

2017. Mann leads ISU with 29 RBI, six home runs and a .608 slugging percentage.

Mann was named the MVC Player and Newcomer of the Week for her five-game stretch down in Florida at USF’s Under Armour Showcase. In those five games she put up a slash line of .833/.895/1.417 with 10 RBI, one double and two three-run dingers.

Freshman Della Gher should technically still be in high school, but instead she’s currently leading the Missouri Valley and ranks third in the NCAA in saves as a key member of Indiana State’s pitching staff.

Gher, who graduated early from Paris High School in Paris, Ill., in December, entered ISU’s spring break trip with a shaky 12.90 ERA and brought that all the way down to a then team-leading 3.55 after a superb showing in seven appearances across ISU’s eight games in Florida.

Overall, she put up a 0.78 ERA down in Florida, going 1-0 to improve to 2-0 on the season and recording all four of her MVC-leading saves in 18.0 innings pitched.
