#FREEISU continues fight for inclusion Nevia Buford News Editor

The student group #FREEISU is still working to find backing for its cause, despite opposition from some on campus. The group’s name stands for Facilitating the Release of Equity and Excellence at Indiana State University. The group is focused on completing their agenda. One item on their agenda is that the university reestablish the office of diversity with a vice president of equity and inclusion. Since the group has started, they have been working to create a support system, both from

students and faculty on campus, as well as other universities. Lakisha Johnson, a senior social work major, is a member of #FREEISU. “We’ve met with the chairman of the board of trustees and two members of the board of trustees,” Johnson said. “We’ve met with the president twice — as a collective — and some students have met with him individually.” Johnson said the group has a presence on social media and has reached out to other universities who have had similar experiences. “There’s a few other universities across the country that are also dealing with things so we’ve

reached out to those universities,” Johnson said. “It’s not just us, it’s everywhere else, and a lot of universities have had instances and situations that are real. We haven’t had those and we don’t want to have those.” Thursday, before Thanksgiving, the group had a demonstration to generate awareness for their group and its causes. They did this in the Commons of the HMSU and in the Generations restaurant. “We had a demonstration; it was not a protest,” Johnson said. “To create awareness that we are here, and we’re not stopping, we’re going to continue. We read off the demands. We also had

signs.” They presented their demonstration in Generations where many faculty and staff members were having a Thanksgiving dinner. “We weren’t necessarily welcomed,” Johnson said. “But they heard, and we’ll see what happens.” The group is continuing to plan movements, but has decided not to announce anything but rather do things in the moment. The group has planned to meet with President Bradley after fall break. “Basically, not a lot of talking. Things will happen, pieces will

tives identified by Indiana State and submitted to him for financial support. Along with Alzouyhra, Allihyani and Dokhan, the Saudi delegation that visited campus included Ahmed Khoj, executive president of the Saudi Aljazira Bank, and Rayan Zamzami, the bank’s vice president. They attended the recognition dinner Tuesday along with faculty and members of Indiana State’s Saudi Student Association, where Alzouyhra’s received a plaque from the university recognizing his commitment to international education. “It’s like bringing my two families together, having my Saudi family here with my ISU family,” said Alyaa Malibari, president of Indiana State’s Saudi Student Association. The association learned that it was ranked 11th out of 330 associations nationwide by to the Saudi Arabian Cultural Mission. “It was an honor to have ISU named No. 1 in the nation in community service, and now we’re super happy to have a person who supports Saudi groups honor us with his continued support,” Malibari said. “It’s a celebration of each other.” The students have bought into their responsibility to serve oth-

Indiana State University and Raleigh, North Carolinabased PrecisionHawk have signed a research and development partnership that aims to advance the unmanned aerial systems industry from multidisciplinary perspectives. The university-business collaboration will focus on safety, education, training and algorithm development for PrecisionHawk’s DataMapper aerial data software. “PrecisionHawk is a strategic partner for Indiana State,” said Robert English, dean of Indiana State’s College of Technology. “Together we make a strong team in research and development of flight crew training, UAS applications, and data analysis. We see this collaboration as a foundation for the future of our students, the state of Indiana and the nation.” Patrick Lohman, vice president of partnerships at PrecisionHawk, said the company has a longstanding relationship with Indiana State that “creates the perfect environment to explore the next frontier in aviation and beyond line of sight unmanned vehicle operations. PrecisionHawk is fortunate to boast a number of ISU alumni on its team, and we look forward to enhanced collaboration around our data and safety initiatives.” The partnership will explore and pursue the following areas: Airspace deconfliction, advanced mission planning algorithm development, environmental monitoring, opportunities within PrecisionHawk safety initiatives — including LATAS, its low altitude traffic and airspace service platform — and development of analytics clusters and full-spectrum analytics support “Indiana State is proud to be stepping forward with PrecisionHawk in this partnership to further the applications of unmanned systems,” said Richard Baker, associate professor and chair of the aviation technology department and director of the university’s unmanned systems initiative. “We will work to strategically address issues across the entire spectrum of data collection, analytics and safety for unmanned aerial systems.” The university will provide access to airspace, indoor flight facilities, unmanned aerial vehicles and flight crews. PrecisionHawk will provide access to its software platform, DataMapper, algorithm licenses, desktop orthomosaic processing and

move. Sometimes it’s in the moment,” Johnson said. The group has received opposition from some on campus and feel their message is sometimes misunderstood. Aaron Hensley, a senior social work major and another member of the group, said #FREEISU has been accused on Yik Yak as being affiliated with ISIS. He disputes these claims. The group will continue to work toward its goals. “A lot of people feel like this is going to blow over because a majority of us who have been with this are seniors, and this is not going to blow over at all,” Johnson said.

Indiana State University students will have the opportunity broaden their horizons while giving back thanks to monetary donations from a Saudi Arabian philanthropist and businessmen. Musaed Alzouyhra, a goodwill ambassador to the United Nations who is active in real estate as well as service in Saudi Arabia, has pledged $200,000 to support international education and community engagement programs at Indiana State. Abdullah Dokhan, a Saudi businessman, and Hazim Allihyan, president of Jehan Corporation in Saudi Arabia, also pledged $10,000 each to the cause during a recent visit to campus. Their donations to the university’s community service efforts were recognized during a recent visit to campus. Noting that Indiana State is nationally recognized for community service, Alzouyhra said he wanted the university “to be able to continue doing more for the community. After I heard about the work ISU students do in Texas and Kentucky I decided I wanted to offer my continued support.” Alzouyhra’s pledge will be based on programs and initia-

Student-athletes research strep bacteria resistance to antibiotics Jamina Tribbett

ISU Communications and Marketing

College students are tasked with the challenge of balancing schoolwork, extra-curricular activities, jobs and their personal lives. For Conrrad Nicholls and Andrew Kump, their schedules dictate they juggle all of those — in addition to being both full-time scholar-athletes and part-time student-researchers. Nicholls and Kump, both senior biology majors with microbiology concentrations, applied for the Summer Undergraduate Research Experience program at Indiana State University and were accepted to conduct research on the bacterium that causes strep throat. “The goal of the research is to sequence the strain of streptococcus bacteria that produces a protective capsule,” said Kump, of West Terre Haute. “The reason why we are doing this is to be able to better understand how the capsule production is controlled, which this capsule helps the bacterium fight off attacks from our body’s immune system,” he said. “The more you know how this capsule formation is controlled, the better you can develop methods to fight it.” In the midst of cold and flu season, as more and more people become sick, patients look to their doctors and caregivers for medications for cures. “People come to the doctor with the flu or a cold, but medicine is not going to do anything but ease the symptoms,” Kump said. “We only need antibiotics for a few things, as our bodies are able to heal a lot of illnesses. Antibiotics are going to be useless if humanity continues to use them just to make them feel better.” Kump and Nicholls have been conducting the research since the summer. They are

enrolled in a specialized topics course where they spend at least nine hours a week in the lab. Time management becomes the ultimate task for these student-researchers when they must schedule their lab hours around their respective sports. Nicholls, who is from Honolulu, Hawaii, plays defensive end for the Indiana State football team. He said finding balance comes easy when you do the things you love. “When you have a talent, or something you are good at, and a purpose, something you are passionate about, you cannot give up one or the other because you will regret it,” he said. “You go as far as you can in one until you cannot go any more and then you continue with the other. I try to reinforce having a plan B and exercising a strong work ethic.” Since the age of 8, Nicholls has loved football, but it was when he took a genetics class in high school that he realized his purpose. “Through football, you are able to express your deepest emotions, such as fear and passion,” he said. “You are able to build a social complex with a team of people who you would have never otherwise met if not for the sport.” Science takes a step out of

the emotional side of things and dives into the depth of logic and reason, Nichols added. “I think future of medicine is going to be genetics,” he said. “Instead of fixing an illness as a consequence of something that affects the genome, you can just change the genome and fix the point of the problem. I want to make sure that the human species is able to go on for as long it can. I have been taking things apart and putting them back together my entire life. I want to do the same for people to make them better.” Kump runs track and field, and his relationship with science evolved gradually through high school and into college. “As a freshman, I started as a pre-med major but I enjoyed the labs much more so I decided to switch to biology,” Kump said. “I plan on going to graduate school and maybe pursuing a Ph.D. My dream job would be working for the Centers for Disease Control or the National Institutes of Health, but I would be happy just doing research. If that means going into academia, then that is another option for me. I spent the entire summer immersing myself in some cell development journals,

and I began to understand the language of biology, which opened up a whole realm of possibilities for me.” The work the Kump and Nicholls are doing is a part of Kyu Hong Cho’s ongoing research. Cho is a microbiologist at Indiana State who moved to Terre Haute last fall. His efforts on streptococcus bacteria have extended over the past 10 years. “I wanted to expand my research to different strains from the Centers for Disease Control,” Cho said. “Conrrad and Andrew’s first time conducting scientific research took place over the summer while they spent their time split between that and practice. They are doing this research by themselves for the most part, and it is helping them learn scientific techniques and lab safety and teaches them how to plan research and analyze it.” Nicholls said he and Kump are trying to publish a genome announcement paper by January. “We have multiple goals that we are working toward,” he said. “Since this is my last year in college, I am thinking about graduate school but leaving my career options open. However, I would love to study microbiology, genetics or cancer.” Nicholls said there is an athlete mentality that motivates people who play sports to push themselves past their limits. The relationship between the two students in the lab is almost perfect, he said, because they apply that mentality to everything in their lives. An example of this mindset is Kump’s motto that he uses to motivate himself. “It’s a grind,” Kump said. “It is what I say to challenge myself when I am running. Research is also a grind, though. There will be things during our experiments that never go right. However, it is our attitude and work ethic that helps Conrrad and I push through and get what we need to get done.”

“For some of the basic courses or technical degrees, I think it makes a lot of sense,” Cavanagh said. “If we’re serious about student success, I think we have to look at it. It’s sort of incumbent on us to try these kinds of experiments and see if they work.” But he also acknowledges the pilot program isn’t a natural fit for every class, like English, where there is no easy computer logarithm to score essays.

for one recent section. Armed with that knowledge, Hinkle might change her lectures for her students in class or send out emails and hold more office hours for her online-only students. The material itself can change, giving students more review when they get problems wrong. The homework also adapts to fit learning styles. One day, for instance, Harper watched a YouTube video of a doctor explaining a complex chemistry lesson

on a kidney disorder. Others might learn better if they read a text or look at a diagram. So far, some psychology and nursing classes are part of the adaptive learning pilot, but Cavanagh said it will expand in upcoming months to include certain math classes and the final two years of a bachelor’s degree in applied science. So far, UCF has invested about $37,000 on the software, training and startup costs for the pilot, which began last school year.

PHILADELPHIA — After two tumultuous weeks, Richie Torres will return to the campus of Washington College in Chestertown, Maryland, after the holiday break with a mission: Get fellow students to stop using Yik Yak. The app, a social-media platform used to post anonymous messages, has exploded in popularity on college campuses. Administrators even use it to gauge student moods. But Torres and other friends blame cyberbullying, in part, for the suicide of Jacob Marberger, the teen from Cheltenham Township, Pennsylvania, whose disappearance this month sparked a multistate search, halted classes and brought a national spotlight to the small college. “We’re all telling people to uninstall Yik Yak, because it’s harmful,” said Torres, a Washington College sophomore who was close friends with Marberger. “It’s probably the most cowardly thing to do, to degrade someone anonymously to feel powerful.” Marberger’s body was found last weekend in a park in Berks County, Pennsylvania. Police say he died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound. As a potential motive, his friends point to the days and hours before his Nov. 16 disappearance. The 19-year-old political science major had been outgoing, talkative, and intelligent — “a walking encyclopedia” and student government leader who didn’t worry about looking cool or being popular, Torres said. “He was extremely bright,” said Tahir Shad, a Washington College political science professor who leads the school’s Model United Nations program. “I would say one of the brightest kids I’ve had in the program — and I’ve been running the program for almost 27 years.” But in October, after Marberger was bullied on campus — in one incident, students placed a trash can full of water against his door so that it flooded his room — he waved an antique gun around one night while intoxicated, according to school officials. The incident, reported weeks after it happened, led the school to suspend Marberger. He was cleared to return after he passed an evaluation to assess whether he was a risk to himself or others. But he still was awaiting disciplinary hearings that could have led to his suspension or expulsion. “He was kind of just a little quiet about it, which is very rare for Jacob,” Joseph Swit, Marberger’s freshman roommate, said in an interview. “But he said, ‘I’m dealing with it.’” On Nov. 15, Swit and Marberger ate dinner together in the dining hall, Swit said. His friend seemed in good spirits. Hours later, Marberger was asked to resign as speaker of the Student Senate — a position he loved so much that he dressed in a shirt and tie for every meeting. “Jacob was taking disappointment after disappointment,” Torres said. “It was just a domino effect, and he’d never really experienced failure.” Then came more hurtful Yik Yak posts. Marberger, like others at the close-knit school of 1,400, checked Yik Yak often, his friends said. “There was people saying he should have been kicked out (of school),” Swit said. “I guess at some point it might have gotten more personal.” The app has raised concern on other high school and college campuses, including accusations of anonymous bullying and racism. A University of Missouri student was arrested this month after police said he posted a racially charged shooting threat to Yik Yak. School administrators monitor it to gauge the mood on college campuses. It can have positive uses, said Washington College spokesman Michael O’Connor, such as alerting them to technology problems or opinions of dining hall food. But it can also be a forum for rumors and insults. After the flood of nasty messages about him, Marberger returned to his parents’ home in Cheltenham at 3 a.m. on Nov. 16, swiped a rifle, and disappeared. Though he made no direct threats, officials shut down Washington College, sending students home a week before the Thanksgiving break. Cheltenham High School, his alma mater, was on “lockout” with increased security, and the district’s elementary schools had recess inside. An arrest warrant and search for Marberger, coupled with the safety warnings and decision to shut down the college, drew a wide spotlight. School officials stood by their safety precautions.

Florida University offers high-tech homework that’s tailored to students ORLANDO, Fla. — Tiffani Harper’s online homework seemed to have a mind of its own. It knew that she learned best by watching videos and detected what topics she struggled to grasp. “It’s teaching me the best way to study,” said Harper, 32, a UCF student from Sanford. Harper’s nursing class is part of a growing pilot program that uses cutting-edge technology to personalize online homework for students. The University of Central Florida is one of a handful of schools in the country using the adaptive-style learning for several online courses, school officials said. At a school as large as UCF — one of the biggest in the country with 63,000 students enrolled — the program is especially important, they said. “It personalizes a learning experience for a student who could potentially be in a large class. It won’t feel large. … They get the help they need,” said Thomas Cavanagh, who oversees the university’s online learning. “It’s a really nice way to mitigate the size issue.” As part of the class, assistant professor Julie Hinkle monitors the students’ online homework to see where they need help and detecting where they succeed or fail. The software even tells her how much time Harper spent studying — eight hours and 22 minutes

Mike Licari, vice president of academic affairs and provost, said international students have two tasks when they come to Indiana State: to be good and diligent students and serve as a teacher to provide Americans with a different view of the world.

Indiana State’s international students are taking their roles seriously, as their involvement in service increasing with the growing number of opportunities that have opened up to them through

both the Center for Community Engagement and Center for Global Engagement, said Heather Miklozek, director of community engagement. “(Community service) is a great way for both parties — international and domestic students — to learn about where the other one comes from,” she said. “Our international students have always been eager to participate in the activities and the Center for Global Engagement has been a big help collaborating with us to allow international students to get involved in trips that allow them to serve others.”

TECH CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 On a recent day, Harper sought refuge in a cubicle in the quiet room at the UCF College of Nursing. She is a college student who experienced life before she ever arrived on campus by joining the work force, getting married, becoming a mom. But when her husband’s grandmother was dying, Harper saw the tenderness of how a hospice nurse put Chapstick on the sick woman’s lips, and how the nurse cared enough to explain the dying process to the family. That motivated her to enroll in nursing school. In the quiet room, Harper started her online homework by answering a question about how much she knew about the kidneys in the human body. “A reasonable amount,” Harper clicked, remembering her previous anatomy class. That was the starting block. From there, the homework could generate easier — or more difficult — questions, depending on the student. If she got one wrong, there could be more readings, more diagrams, more videos that Harper could study on her laptop screen. Like anything in education, students take away what they put in. “I’d rather get it wrong than a lucky guess because I want it to teach me the material,” Harper said. The online homework was a first taste of the material, but the stakes were not that high. If Harper got it wrong, she could go back and try different questions to improve her score or study more before her exam. “Well done!” flashed on her screen as Harper answered a question right and moved to the next part. ©2015 The Orlando Sentinel (Orlando, Fla.).

Fall breakers beautify national park in Kentucky, help Courageous Kids Kristin Kilker

ISU Communications and Marketing

Some Indiana State University students took advantage of the Thanksgiving week break in classes to help families with osteogenesis imperfecta, or “brittle bone disease.” The Osteogenesis Imperfecta Foundation describes the condition as a genetic disorder characterized by bones that break easily, often from little or no apparent cause, due to a gene mutation that affects collagen production. The foundation says an individual with the condition can suffer several hundred bone fractures in a lifetime. The mildest and most common type is marked by weak joints and muscles, colored sclera (the whites of the eyes), brittle teeth, tendency for spinal curvature, and possible hearing loss after age 20. Osteogenesis imperfecta affects 20,000 to 50,000 people in the United States alone. The Center for Courageous Kids is a medical camping facility in Scottsville, Kentucky, that offers weekend retreats and summer camping sessions to families whose children have osteogenesis imperfecta so they can have fun as a family and escape everyday worries in a safe, accommodating

environment. The center is funded solely by donations and has served more than 20,000 campers free of charge since opening in 2004. “When I found out that we’ll be working with kids with OI, I was a little apprehensive,” Corry Smith, a senior human development and family students major from Richton Park, Illinois, said, “because I have a big heart and I get really emotional working in situations that I can’t change, but it was really inspiring to be able to work with them and have the opportunity to hear their backstories, to learn a little bit about them and their families.” Mandy Allen, a master’s degree student in education, said she just has a heart for children in general. “Being a little bit out of my comfort zone, doing something I’ve never done before ... being away from home and my family for a few days was really the only thing holding me back,” Allen said, “but I just persevered through it and hung out with these kids and these families, and it was a life-changing experience.” The students sat through an orientation session that taught them that the prescription was “fun,” but the campers

Seasonal disorder hits home around the holidays Miguel Lewis Reporter

During this season of joy, celebration and holidays, depression may be lurking right around the corner. Holiday depression has been known to affect more and more people every year, including college students at Indiana State University. According to healthline.com, “1 in 4 college students suffer from mental illness or depression and 75 percent of those students do not seek help.” However, by keeping expectations modest, trying something different for the holiday seasons, not assuming the worst, and not worrying over things that we have no control over we can easily prevent depression from making its way into our lives. Seasonal Affective Disorder is similar to any other type of depression, except it typically sets in around November and December. It is also no surprise that it has also been found to occur around February, before Valentine’s Day. Freshman business marketing major Roman Povilyaer said that he usually has a tough time around the holidays. “I haven’t been home to Russia in three years now and since the best holidays are centered around spending time with family, it is espe-

cially hard for me,” Povilyaer said. There are many factors that can send someone spiraling into depression. According to naturalhealthadvisory.com, “One of the leading causes for holiday depression is having unrealistic expectations. The myth behind this truth is that everyone is having a good time and engaged in loving family relationships. Holiday depression can also de induced by incurring too much pressure or commitment which can cause anxiety and stress. Loneliness is also a feeling that may be heightened around the holidays. Across the country is has been found that this [loneliness] and others symptoms such as anxiety and helplessness are heightened.” Povilyaer had some advice for students to help fight depression. “I think it is important for us to distract ourselves and others when depression creeps up,” Povilyaer said. “Make plans to do what you like to do the most. Plan a trip ahead of time if your family lives too far. Just surrounding ourselves with people who have our best interests at hearts can be beneficial when dealing with tough situations.” Tomi Thomson, a

How to prepare for finals Meghan Hayes Reporter

With finals approaching it is almost time for us all to crack open our books and take out our notes from the beginning of the semester. But how can we make sure that we are studying efficiently and effectively? To make sure that we are maximizing our time and getting what we need done, here are some tips to follow to help those who are preparing for finals. The first tip is to make sure that you have all your finals mapped out. Write them down on a calendar, planner or schedule with the dates and times, which almost always can be found in the syllabus that your professor handed out on the first day of class. Planning ahead is a great way to avoid all-night cram fests the day before the exam. Keeping this calendar or planner within your line of sight is a great way to help remember all that is to come. The second tip is to pencil in your study time. Already having your study time mapped out is a great way to discipline yourself to get the study time in. It also shows your free time, so you do not have to stress about whether you should be studying or not. The third tip is to consider keeping a key terms

and vocabulary list for each subject. Organizing them into one space is an easy way to access them so you aren’t constantly shuffling back and forth through all of your various textbooks. Having one space with all your terms is a great way to get familiar with the subject matter. The fourth tip is to make sure you are nourishing your mind and body. It may seem obvious, but that’s no reason to overlook your personal needs. If you are not feeling nourished and refreshed, it will affect your study session in

a negative way, which can lead to low test scores. Some ideas for getting the mind and body into shape are to try running, meditation, Pilates, yoga, deep breathing, taking a long bath or shower and to always make sure you are eating right. Doing these simple tasks can greatly improve the quality of your study time. The final tip is to study in a comfortable environment. By now we all mostly know what we need to do when we study. Whether it’s in a completely quite environment or while listening to music, there are

certain things we need to do in order to efficiently study. Make sure that when you sit down to study you are somewhere you feel comfortable to better help your mind focus. If you do not do this then your mind is more prone to stress out and get off topic. Following these five simple steps of mapping out your finals, penciling in your study time, keeping key terms, nourishing your mind and body, and studying in a comfortable environment should help your study sessions become more effective for final exams.

Indiana State student gains strength during study abroad in South Africa Libby Roerig

ISU Communications and Marketing

South Africa was declared the “cradle of humankind” by UNESCO in 1999 because of the important human ancestral fossils discovered there near Johannesburg. The moniker is also appropriate when describing the metaphorical rebirth Indiana State University senior Bryant Clayton experienced while on a semester-long study abroad trip there. “I believe I gained strength in South Africa,” he said. “I learned people are people wherever you go, regardless of race.” Part of that newfound strength is being comfortable with who he is and not feeling pressured to fit into a preconceived ideal. “I felt a renewed sense of self-value and worth there,” he said. “My race and my skin color in Africa allowed me to share who I really was to a lot of different people. It really did not matter.” Indiana State Professor Arthur Feinsod, himself a graduate of three prestigious universities — Harvard, University of California-Berkeley and New York University — says Clayton is his most talented pupil. Despite his warm and engaging personality, Clayton’s intellect is something that has separated him at times from his peers, Feinsod said. In South Africa, Clayton was free to have philosophical discussions with his classmates of all races and backgrounds. Of particular interest was what it means to be black in South Africa versus the United States. To the former, “It

means you are a part of a history and a tradition of struggle. But, in that struggle, there is hope, there is unity, there is grit, there is determination,” Clayton said. “We (don’t) have to lower ourselves to our predecessors’ level. Meaning we don’t have to oppress anybody, we don’t have to make them feel what we felt. It’s about unity, it’s about love, it’s about progress and moving forward. That’s being black in South Africa.” When it comes to answering the black-inAmerica part of that question, however, the response is more questions. “It’s asking ‘Am I really of value?’ ‘Am I seen equally in the everyday workforce? Or do you judge me based on what you see on television?’ ‘Is there progress? Have we really progressed from the Rodney King riots in 1992?’” he said. “The dreams that Civil Rights activists felt in the 1960s — was Martin Luther King right? Or was Malcolm X right?” Clayton is one not to be confined by convention. Upon entering Indiana State, Clayton was a biology/pre-med major. He’s good at science and did well his freshman year, but it just didn’t seem to fit his four-year path. Holly Hobaugh, coordinator of academic services and pre-professional adviser at Indiana State, recommended he consider an interdisciplinary degree. “That really fascinated me. I didn’t want to go into one particular discipline. I have an interest in history, a keen interest in philosophy, psychology, sociology,” he said. Clayton settled on a

To make do, he bought a couple of T-shirts, a pair of shorts, swim trunks and flip flops and washed them in the sink and hung them on a laundry line fashioned out of his belt. After a week, he asked a friend to take him back to the airport to check if his luggage had arrived yet. He stopped once again at the main desk and told them his name. “‘Mr. Clayton, we’ve been looking for you! Your luggage has been here since Tuesday.’ Here’s the thing: I got there on Wednesday.

KENTUCKY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 had to be handled with extra care due to their conditions. It wasn’t long before the camp began to feel like any other for the students and their excited new families, who trusted the students completely. As Smith feared, he had his emotional “moment” before orientation had even finished. A girl Smith guessed to be around eight years old rode her wheelchair to the gym full of students and shouted, “I’m free! I’m free!” Smith said, “That moment was very emotional for me because they still are kids, and they like to have fun. All of that fun has to be modified sometimes, but it was nice to see that they felt comfortable at that camp. The camp says it prescribes fun, and I can see her reaction that she was going to have a great time. That was a tear-jerker for me.” Smith and Allen’s camping trip came complete with memories and new friendships. Taking the children to the swimming pool on Saturday is Allen’s favorite memory. “They were jumping around and swimming, and trying to hold their breath under water and wanting us to do it with them—it was just so much fun to see them light up and have the time of their lives.” Smith’s favorite memories were the meals spent with his Courageous family. Every member of that particular family had osteogenesis imperfecta. “I really love food, so any of the times we got together and ate with our families. I enjoyed that because we talked and got to hear a little bit about their

stories, and get to know each of the kids. I enjoyed the experience, all in all, but eating with them was my absolute favorite part.” Allen and Smith both added their families on Facebook. Smith hopes to reconnect with his Courageous family on the next alternative fall break trip to Kentucky. As a 29-year-old with a family of her own, Allen found it especially easy to relate with the mother of her Courageous family. She also noted the closeness of the alternative fall breakers, who played cards with each other at night and connected by the campfire. Smith said serving with the students he didn’t know or knew little allowed him to come to know them better. Smith and Allen returned home with material and intangible souvenirs — keepsakes purchased at the center, numerous photos, friendships and memories among them. Allen plans on organizing the many pictures she took in an album. “This is definitely a memory I will keep forever and I will share with others, to convince them to volunteer as well,” Allen said. The students said goodbye to their Courageous families on Monday, which Allen found difficult. “We spent 40 hours with these families just face-to-face doing things with them, and I wasn’t expecting anything, but a little girl that I worked with she just came up and gave me a hug and was like, ‘keep in touch with me, I had a great time.’ As little as we thought we were doing, we made an impact on these kids’ life.” They then headed to Mammoth Cave

Clayton started considering becoming a Sycamore after a personal tour of the campus by John Newton, the now retired executive director of the Indiana State University Alumni Association. “I felt like it was a place I needed to be. I felt welcome, I felt appreciated,” Clayton said. Being offered the university’s most generous award — the President’s Scholarship, which covers all tuition, provides premium housing and more — sealed the deal.

“All of the other schools I was accepted, there would have been these huge bills I would have had to pay for tuition. That’s not something I planned on doing,” he said. The scholarship also requires and provides assistance for study abroad. “The experience has been phenomenal. I would not have been able to go to South Africa, meet the people I’ve met,” he said. “Indiana State is a fine academic institution. Whatever you want to put into it, especially the honors program, you’re going to get out of it.”

Smith and Allen used “loppers” to cut down twigs and overgrowth in a cemetery, among gravestones dating to the 1700s. The students worked for six hours to clear the cemetery area and then had a tour of parts of the cave that tourists don’t visit. They also removed wire from caves dating from the 1930s so it could be replaced with energy efficient LED lights.

Life really is like a box of chocolates

Kirstyn Quandt Columnist

In all that we do, we crave spontaneity. It’s our nature as human beings to embrace opportunities and we do so without hesitation. Yet, sometimes we feel as if those times are few and far between. We often dwell on the negativity, the failures and the obstacles in our path as opposed to considering the possibilities of the future and all that is unknown. Now I won’t give you any greener grass or silver-lining saga, but I will stress the importance of patience. Coming from the girl who ruins every surprise, birthday after birthday, it’s something I strive to have more of myself. From the beginning, we want to walk before we learn to crawl, grow up before we know how to drive and move swiftly past every other stepping stone without looking back. Most times it as simple as wanting what we cannot have. We wish we were five steps farther ahead or five miles in the opposite direction because we think it’s better than where we are now. And we base this solely on the fact that not everything is exactly as we hoped it would be. Now, I’m a firm believer in the idea that everything happens for a reason. So just maybe, where you are is exactly where you need to be. Now of course that’s easier said than done because we cannot always see what’s right in front of us or the good in every situation. But Forrest Gump said it best: “Life is like a box of chocolates. You never

know what you’re gonna get.” And what could be more true? When you wake up each morning you have an idea of what you need to do and furthermore, you have high hopes for the accomplishment of it all. But what you need to realize first is that life happens. And most times, it’s not as we envisioned it. Depending on any given day, our attitudes and actions reflect our innermost emotions, but even in our most dramatic of episodes it is important to realize that one single moment does not define the rest of our future, much as grabbing the one orange cream chocolate out of the assortment box does not ruin your love for chocolate forever. Let’s be honest, you’ll try again seconds later. I once heard a professor discuss the concept of a “roller coaster child:” one that was either encountering the most blissful of highs or was sulking in the lowest of lows as his/ her world spiraled into oblivion. And I think a lot us often fall into this trap when we become overwhelmed. It is easy to think things won’t get better anytime soon, but just when you crack open the can of frosting and are a few spoonfuls in, something happens. You meet someone, do something or have a brilliantly beautiful thought that leaves you wondering whether everything is truly as bad as you thought. So live in the moment, but realize that the moment does not define you or the rest of your future. Embrace the fact that you may not always know everything and that at times, life may not always go exactly as you want — which I am sure most of you have realized by now. So channel your inner Forrest and Jenny, make some peas and carrots if necessary, and breathe. In the simple and inspiring words of Johnny Depp: “Breathe. It’s just a bad day, not a bad life.”

Shooting at Planned Parenthood should be labeled domestic terrorism

Joe Lippard

Assistant Opinions Editor

On Black Friday, while most Americans took part in the age-old tradition of trampling each other for a blender, a man named Robert Lewis Dear decided to start a shootout at a Colorado Springs Planned Parenthood. A six-hour standoff left nine people wounded and three dead, including a police officer and a mother of two. A law enforcement official told CNN that Dear talked about “baby parts” when he was arrested, as well as expressing anti-abortion and anti-government views. While it has been said that this doesn’t explicitly point to a motive (investigators are still going through evidence), John Suthers, mayor of Colorado Springs, told CNN, “You can certainly infer what (the motive) may have been in terms of where it took place and the manner in which it took place.” Some of Dear’s neighbors said that he kept mostly to himself. According to the New York Times, Dear often adorned his house with crosses and claimed to have read the Bible “cover to cover.” One of his neighbors, Zigmond Post, said that Dear gave him pamphlets strongly opposing President Obama, but that the pamphlets were strictly political with no racist overtones.

So it seems, by accounts of law enforcement and his neighbors, that Dear may have had some sort of conservative political motive in his attack. If the GOP hadn’t paraded around faked videos talking about Planned Parenthood “selling baby parts” as “proof ” that Planned Parenthood was evil, would Dear have been motivated to attack the clinic? This possible motive has been discounted by several members of the Republican Party. Ted Cruz called Dear a “transgender leftist activist” in an attempt to deflect the possibility that he could have had anything to do with inspiring Dear to act how he did. Dear is described as anti-abortion and anti-government by law enforcement; he claims to have read the whole Bible and he even referenced “baby parts” when he was arrested. I am astounded at the mental gymnastics Cruz is able to perform in order to blame liberals and the LGBT community for Dear’s actions. I feel like it’s safe to say that Dear was not a liberal, and the El Paso County Clerk and Recorder’s office confirmed that Dear had been identified as female on a voter registration as a result of a clerical error, not because Dear was actually transgender. Mike Huckabee had a much more reasonable response. “What he did is domestic terrorism, and what he did is absolutely abominable,” Huckabee said. He continued, “Especially to us in the pro-life movement, because there’s nothing about any of us that would condone or in any way look the other way on something like this.” Huckabee is simply incorrect, however. Many “pro-life” people on

Twitter tweeted their support for Dear. Cruz considers himself to be pro-life, and he’s turning his head the other way and trying to blame transgender individuals for Dear’s actions. Many news stations are questioning whether or not they should call Dear’s attack “terrorism.” What frustrates me about this is that if Dear had any trace of Muslim leanings, no media outlets would hesitate to call his attack on Planned Parenthood “terrorism.” The Federal Bureau of Investigations defines domestic terrorism as an act that is intended “to intimidate or coerce a civilian population; to influence the policy of a government by intimidation or coercion; or to affect the conduct of a government by mass destruction, assassination or kidnapping.” If we are to believe the police reports that indicate that Dear talked about “no more baby parts” after being arrested, it appears that this shooting was, indeed, an act intended to intimidate a civilian population. It is even possible that Dear was trying to influence Congress’ actions as a result of his shooting. So why are some in the media refusing to call Dear’s actions an act of domestic terrorism? Many media outlets are staunchly opposed to calling any politically-motivated attack perpetrated by men who aren’t Muslim “terrorism.” Had Robert Lewis Dear been a Muslim, I am willing to bet that the people who insist that Dear isn’t a terrorist would immediately demand that all Muslims denounce his actions and insist that everyone call it “Muslim terrorism.”

World AIDS Day calls for education Zach Davis Columnist

When somebody says they are sick, we envision hacking and coughing with a runny nose and fever. Naturally, when we see someone who is sick, we try to use even better hygiene to avoid getting sick. But some of the most dangerous infections might not even show symptoms for a long period of time, which can make it hard to tell who is sick. A perfect example is the human immunodeficiency virus, more commonly known as HIV. It is extremely common

for those infected with HIV to show no symptoms for years, which means infected individuals might not even know for a long time. HIV attacks the immune system and weakens it, allowing other infections to occur. Untreated HIV can turn into AIDS, which occurs when your immune system is extremely damaged from the virus. Though the virus doesn’t directly kill the host, many have died because the infection weakened their immune system enough. As of now there is no cure or vaccine, but there is still hope. Dec. 1 marked World AIDS Day, a day dedicated to promoting the education and research of HIV/AIDS. This is a day to recognize the Fast-Track approach from UNAIDS. UNAIDS is a pact in which world leaders united with one another to set a goal of not only stopping the AIDS epidemic by the year 2030, but also treating those

infected in 60 different countries. Thankfully a lot of headway has already been made on the research thanks to this project and others like it. Enough research has been done that infection rates since the year 2000 have dropped by 35 percent while death rates decreased by 42 percent since 2004. Some fallacies still exist about HIV, and it is best that these rumors are put to rest. The first idea is only those who participate in homosexual intercourse are at risk. This is entirely false. While gay men are at the highest risk of contracting HIV, anyone who is alive is vulnerable. The virus is transmitted through blood, sexual secretions (such as semen) and breast milk. This means anybody who bleeds, is sexually active or breastfeeding is at a higher risk of getting HIV. The only bodily fluids that don’t contain HIV are urine, sweat and saliva. The

idea also floats around that if a woman is infected with HIV and gets pregnant the child gets infected every time. Though the child is more likely to end up infected, it is not guaranteed. So what can you do to avoid getting HIV? The very first thing seems kind of obvious: try to not bleed on one another and don’t touch other people’s blood. Wear gloves if you are trying to help someone who is bleeding. The next most important thing is, if you are sexually active, use protection. Condoms are designed to keep fluids from mixing so infections aren’t spread. A special drug has also been created to reduce the risk of infection. The drug is called Pre-Exposure Prophylaxis (PrEP) and is effective up to 92 percent of the time when taken properly. Besides not acting like a vampire and

Two alumni selected for Hall of Fame Ace Hunt

ISU Athletic Media Relations

A pair of Indiana State Basketball alumni have been selected for induction into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame as announced by the organization’s board of directors Dec. 1. Both Brad Miley and Butch Wade are set to be honored on Wednesday, March 23. at the Primo Banquet Hall in Indianapolis. Brad Miley set IHSAA basketball records as a revered rebounder en route to an appearance in the NCAA Final Four. A member of Rushville’s 26-2 1976 state runner-up squad under Hall of Fame coach Larry Angle, he remains the school’s single-season rebounding leader with 394 rebounds in 28 games (14.1 rpg). He added his name to the IHSAA record book with a state finals record 29 rebounds in the Lions’ come-from-behind semi-final game against East Chicago Washington and followed it up with

a state championship game record 21 rebounds in the loss to Marion. His total of 50 rebounds surpassed the previous single-class state finals record of 42 and he was named a 1976 Indiana AllStar. A four-year career at Indiana State University included a starting role for the 1979 NCAA national runner-up Sycamores, starting all 34 games that season averaging 5.7 points and six rebounds. Totaling 627 rebounds in his college career, he graduated as Indiana State’s sixth all-time leading rebounder and second in games played (120). Miley was a part of a school-record 97 Sycamore Basketball victories during his collegiate career. He played professionally for three seasons in Iceland and one year in Australia. Employed in sales, he resides in Terre Haute. Charles “Butch” Wade starred under Hall of Fame coach Bill Stearman as a captain and co-MVP on one of Columbus’ greatest teams before a recordbreaking career at Indiana State Uni-

Women’s basketball falls after cold shooting performance A cold offensive second half paved the way for a hot IUPUI team as Indiana State women’s basketball couldn’t put it together as it fell 6843 in road play Tuesday evening. Redshirt sophomore forward Ashley Taia led Indiana State with nine points and tied a team-high with five rebounds and junior forward Rhagen Smith added eight points and a team-high eight rebounds off the bench. Freshman guard Jennifer Mackowiak added five boards along with five points while dishing out two assists. Eight total players scored points in the loss, the third straight for the Sycamores. Indiana State shot just 28.3 percent from the floor on the night and 15.4 percent from 3-point range, as its 43 points on the evening were the fewest this season. The Jags took a seven point lead three minutes into the contest, but a Dirks bucket got ISU back within two before a nearly four minute scoring drought took over. Freshman forward Regan Wentland broke the streak with a triple and a pick by Mackowiak dished down to Ceazer who went coast-tocoast go ISU back within one, 1415. Indiana State took a one point lead (16-15) after the first quarter as Smith drove to the hoop and found the back of the net as time expired. The second quarter featured more ups and downs, as the Sycamores and Jaguars exchanged two ties and

five lead changes. Mackowiak picked up her own rebound off a missed layup for the putback to tie things up at 28-28 with 1:31 to play. IUPUI closed the half with four straight points and took a 32-28 lead going into the locker rooms. But a dismal third quarter doomed the Sycamores, who were outscored 21-8 and didn’t score for the first five minutes coming out of the break. The scoring drought continued in the fourth as the ISU offense scored just seven points in the final 10 minutes and finished the second half shooting 20.0 percent. “We just got out-played, outhustled and pretty much out-everything tonight to a really good team who played well on its home court,” Indiana State head coach Joey Wells said. “As a team, are still searching for an identity and we’re hoping to find it sooner rather than later. We’ve got to be a bit more mature on the court and we’re going to work hard on fixing it every day.” IUPUI lit it up from the floor in the third quarter, shooting 62.5 percent from the field and outscoring the Sycamores, 21-8. Indiana State couldn’t recover in the fourth quarter either, as they combined in the second half for a total of 15 points and falling to an IUPUI team off to one of its best starts in school history.

versity. Wade averaged 19.1 points and a team-high 10.5 rebounds on the Bull Dogs’ undefeated and No. 1 ranked 1962-63 team that advanced to the semi-state before a loss to eventual state champion Muncie Central. He becomes the 4th player from that team to be inducted in the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame, joining classmate Bill Russell and Sycamore teammates Jerry Newsom and Steve Hollenbeck, as well as their coach, Stearman. Under Hall of Fame coach Duane Klueh at Indiana State, Wade left his mark. Averaging more than 20 points in each of his three varsity seasons, the three-time team MVP and three-time All-American graduated as the Sycamores’ fourth all-time leading scorer (1,672 points), career rebounds leader (540), and record holder in career field goals (610), free throws (422) and singlegame scoring record holder in points (43). Helping ISU teams twice to National

Tournament appearances and national rankings, he was drafted by the NBA New York Knicks and ABA Oakland Oaks. He was named to Indiana State’s 1960’s all-decade team and in 1998 was named one of 12 players to ISU’s all-century team. Employed with Bartholomew Consolidated School Corporation as a health and PE teacher from 1985-2005, Wade spent 10 years as a varsity assistant coach at Columbus North, two years as girls varsity coach at Columbus North and 16 years as a coach at Central Middle School in Columbus. Retired, he lives in Columbus. Both Miley and Wade are members of the Indiana State Athletics Hall of Fame. The Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame’s 55th annual Men’s Awards Banquet will be held on March 23, 2016. The day’s events will include a reception at the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame museum that afternoon with a banquet that evening at the Primo Banquet Hall in Indianapolis.

Indiana State falters in road contest at Eastern Illinois Ace Hunt

ISU Athletic Media Relations

Indiana State senior guard Devonte Brown scored 22 points, but the Eastern Illinois Panthers used hot 3-point shooting to secure a 68-62 victory over the visiting Sycamores in front of 1,183 fans inside Lantz Arena. The Sycamores fell to 3-3 on the season while Eastern Illinois improved to 1-4. Brown led the way with 22 points, including a trio of 3-pointers while freshman Emondre Rickman set career highs with 10 points and eight rebounds while Brenton Scott added 11. The rebounding battle was even at 35. Eastern Illinois used 11 3-pointers to earn the victory. Emondre Rickman started the second half and the Sycamores went right to him as he hit a free throw.
