Students make a splash for Special Olympics
Alex Modesitt Editor-in Chief
The wind gusted and snow fell as 190 Polar Plunge participants took turns clambering up the poolside ladder and diving into the frigid water on Saturday morning. The daring divers were, “freezin’ for a reason” as they took the plunge in an effort to raise money for Special Olympics Indiana. Students, staff and members of the Wabash Valley community donated a mini-

mum of $50 to the cause, raising a record amount of money. Kimberly Monte, chair of the Polar Plunge, was pleased with the charitable donations made to Special Olympics Indiana. “We have so far received $33,951.93, but will continue to receive donations which will up that total,” Monte said. The almost $34,000 tops the record of $32,000 raised last year. Twenty-three groups from all across campus and the community came to par-
ticipate in the event. While most plungers came dressed up in costumes, none were more visible than Alpha Sigma Alpha. Alpha Sigma — whose philanthropy is the Special Olympics — brought 57 members to the Polar Plunge, all dressed as ladybugs. Along with the army of ladybugs, there were divers dressed as penguins and black ice. Linda Bedwell, Special Olympics coach from Greene County, Indiana, dressed in Hawaiian luau garb.

turn jumping into the icy water, they headed into the Student Rec Center for refreshments and the award ceremony. Bedwell may not have won the best costume contest for her Hawaiian outfit, but she won the award for highest single donation; she donated $5,700. The award for best outfit and top team went to students from Terre Haute North High School. The students painted their bodies gold and called themselves trophies and raised $5,705 for Special Olympics Indiana.

Global Divestment Day promotes clean energy Myesha Garner Reporter The Sycamore Environmental Action Club brought awareness to Global Divestment Day. This is the first year it has been celebrated as an annual event. For those who promote clean energy, today was a day to bring awareness to a nationwide issue. They discussed the use of fossil fuels that have had negative effects on the environment. For senior biology major Kara Phelps, Friday brought awareness to how fossil fuels affect us all. “It’s a relatively new movement that is divesting away from fossil fuel, which means companies that support fossil fuels and dirty energy practices that are environ-
mentally harmful are instead divesting in renewable energy that is more environmentally safe,” Phelps said. Jordanna Bilyeu, a junior elementary education major, said she wanted to bring awareness to the use of oil and coal in Indiana and Indiana State University’s campus. “We would just like to make people more aware of the investments in Indiana especially involving coal and oil, as well as how much money goes into this,” Bilyeu said. “There is one well that is either under or beside campus and they are drilling under the

ground just to get the oil. We are not sure if we are invested in that as a school but we will be asking President Bradley.” Meghan Hoskins, a senior psychology major, said that her goal is to encourage others to remove their investments in energy sources that aren’t environmentally safe. “Climate change and global warming are highly driven by the extraction and burning of fossil fuels,” Hoskins said. “Our current economic system and lifestyle have allowed fossil fuel corporations to become the most powerful and profitable corporations in history. The goal behind Global Divestment Day is to encourage communities, schools, organizations, and cities to remove their investments from fossil fuel companies and reinvest their money in renewable energies or socially and ecologically eth- Jordanna Bilyeu poses with handmade poster to help raise awareness on fossil ical organizations.” fuels (Photo by Kira Clouse).
Sleep deprivation takes over American college students Makyla Thompson Reporter College students are sleep-deprived, says an Indiana State University psychology instructor. Dr. Bradley Brubaker said that the problem isn’t just limited to students either — it affects all Americans. “Sleep is something we do without thinking about it,” Brubaker said. “We as Americans have a problem with sleep.” Due to their often-hectic schedules, many college students don’t get the sleep they need. “Typically if you look at any research a 20-year-old needs about 10 hours of sleep to feel rested, rejuvenated and ready for the day,” Brubaker said. “I would say 90 percent of college students are not getting 10 hours of sleep.” Students and other sleep-deprived individuals often develop habits to help them deal with the lack of sleep. “We have coping mechanisms, we have caffeine, we use [energy drinks],

we self-medicate to get our arousal levels where it needs to be,” Brubaker said. “If you wake up to an alarm clock that means your body is not done resting.” Human lives are regulated by internal clocks that control a ‘sleep sched-
ule.’ These schedules adjust to work and school lives and try to establish a pattern — meaning that someone who goes to bed at 9 p.m. each night will begin to get tired around then even when they need to stay up.
“Our internal clocks are really good,” Brubaker said. “If you want to have a bedtime at midnight and get up at 7 a.m. your sleep will adjust so that you can wake up at 7 a.m.” Sleep deprivation can affect attitudes as well, leaving some dreading the early morning. “Using an alarm clock will awaken us from a period of sleep that is deeper than we really want to be awoken from,” Brubaker said. “So when we are rudely awoken from a deep sleep with an alarm clock in the morning, we are kind of grouchy, we just want to go back to that deep sleep.” Dashyia Haywood, a freshman biology major, admits that she doesn’t get enough sleep. “I get about maybe 5 hours of sleep, but I try to get 7,” Haywood said. “I have really early classes, and there’s too much to do in a day so by the time I get to bed it is late.”

Police enforce laws, protect public welfare
Police are an important part of our society. They protect our rights and the public welfare. I recognize this, not only as a citizen, but also as a student and criminology major. I thought of the idea of writing this to better inform the students of Indiana State University. Here is what a psychology professor, Jennifer Schriver, said about the good side of police, “Although police officers are commonly viewed as just writing or arresting people, their jobs are Columnist tickets far more complex than that.” Media coverage of prominent cases such as the shooting death of Michael Brown in Ferguson, Missouri, and the chokeholdinduced death of Eric Garner in Staten Island, New York, distort the public view of police officers. These two cases are examples of what happens when officers
make mistakes. Police are trained to resolve conflicts with as little violence as possible. A good example of this training is called crisis intervention, which helps police deal with unusual situations. The officers in the Ferguson and Garner cases were not well-trained or prepared. Their mistakes caused riots because the outcomes did not favor the public. What you do not see on the news every day are cases where officers protect the public welfare. State Trooper Joe Watts is the perfect example of a dedicated officer. I had the honor of seeing one of his eye-opening presentations in class. One story he told really stuck out to me. It was in the mid-1990s and Watts was called to intervene in a suicide attempt. They found the man still alive but were unable to stop him from shooting himself. They attempted to give the man CPR but the wound was too severe. In his 29 years of being a police officer, Watts wit-
nessed two more suicide attempts. “The worst part about watching a suicide,” Watts said, “is the victim cannot or will not comprehend the fact that we [the police] are only trying to help, not arrest. It is heartbreaking.” We do not truly know what police officers have to deal with. Stories like Watts’ show a side of policing that many don’t see — the psychological part. Being a police officer is not for everyone and not everyone has the skill and honor to do what needs to be done. Watts’ story really inspired me. He showed me that police have a heavy burden to hold. Every time they put on that badge they are a symbol of hope, keeping us safe and dealing with crazy situations. Police risk death and danger not only to enforce the law but to protect us. I hope that every officer who puts on the badge knows what it takes.
Since the late 1960s, the American public has been pushing to be more environmentally friendly. But with that move comes cost, which cuts jobs and hurts the middle class. Does it really hurt all that much? What are environmentally friendly jobs anyway? Suppose you’re a newly minted graduate from Indiana State University and you’re looking to find a job that fulfills your life goals. One of those goals is to make the Columnist world a better, cleaner place for you and your children. So you seek out an environmentally friendly job that pays well and protects the environment. The Bureau of Labor Statistics had classified green jobs with two definitions based on the output and the process. When looking at the output factor, the Bureau
is looking at the specific good or service a firm has provided. If that good or service has made a positive or a neutral environmental impact it is considered ‘green.’ The process is even easier to define because it deals with the simple aspect of how you made your product or service. It sounds technical but there are many inputs in a production — therefore it’s hard to quantify with a simple statement. If we think back to 2009 when President Obama created a bill that would invest $150 billion over 10 years for 5 million green jobs. Have we come close to that? As of 2012, only 675,000 of those green jobs had been created. The reason it’s so hard to create green jobs is because they require so much more money. It always comes down to money. If we look at the cost of producing a wind turbine versus a coal plant we can see why green technology costs more. The coal plant is built using primarily cheap products: concrete, steel, glass and uncountable
man-hours. The wind turbine has special aircraft metal and motors designed specifically for them. Each of its components are made for that wind turbine and have to be crafted with precision. Not only are materials expensive, but also green energy and green jobs face many battles. There are people who refuse to accept the change because they think green jobs will cut down on the need for regular jobs. Coal plant workers are at risk if green energy were to move in on their business. This means it’s more expensive for green technology to get permits, build and get manpower to run them. Green is great, don’t get me wrong, but the battle between the green initiative and the fossil fuel users is far from over. These two ideals clash because of how simple dirty production is to create.

Grocery lists a sign of a seasoned economy Let’s look into something we see every day — salt and pepper, America’s symbols of economic stability. When we sit at a restaurant table, what do we normally see? A napkin dispenser, sugar and artificial sweetener packets, a ketchup bottle maybe half-full, but two Columnist things that are always there are pepper and salt. Do we use them all of the time? Hardly. But if a restaurant runs out, it’s because someone is managing poorly and forgot to do inventory or someone does not know how to cook without using a bunch of seasoning. But what if salt and pepper suddenly became scarce? What would that mean? There are several colors of pepper, but the most common is Black pepper. It is native to South India and surrounding tropical areas and is the world’s mosttraded spice. Vietnam is the No. 1 producer and exporter of the spice, supplying it to 34 percent of the world’s population. The United States is the world’s largest importer of this form of black gold. Salt is one of the most abundant minerals on Earth. It is found both on the Earth’s surface and in the ocean. In fact, the salinity — saltiness or dissolved salt content of a body of water — of the ocean is about 3.5 percent or 35 grams per liter. That is a seemingly inexhaustible amount of salt. According to the 2012
Mason Moton
British Geological Survey and the United States Geological Survey, the U.S. is the world’s second-largest salt producer and second in the list of countries that import the most salt. The U.S. is 10th in exporting the mineral. All of this considered, what would it mean if pepper and salt became scarce? No more adding flavor to our food — hopefully in a way that the chef does not notice — and no more doing magic tricks with saltshakers at the dinner table. But these household items go beyond their culinary uses. Black pepper is used to help cure insect bites, coughs and sore throats and research is being done to learn more about pepper’s quality of absorbing nutrients for the body. Only 6 percent of the world’s salt is used in food: 12 percent is used to make water more drinkable, 8 percent is used for de-icing the highways, 6 percent is used in agriculture and the remaining 68 percent is used in manufacturing products. Now, let’s think about what it would mean if America couldn’t afford these goods. Considering the fact that pepper and salt can be found in every place related to food in America — even homeless shelters — it’s fair to say that this good is affordable, has been evenly distributed and is in abundance. Now let’s look at a country like Haiti, our Atlantic Ocean neighbor. Pepper and salt cost the same as they do here, but families there are living in extreme poverty and cannot afford the simple pepper and salt set.

and produce goods it’s easy to build four walls and put in a coal furnace. With the greener road there are environmental quality guidelines that have to be followed to ensure that your product is made in a sustainable way. Sustainability means that resources taken from the earth for production can be replaced. Are we looking
In fact, it is more likely to find these household items in luxury hotels than in the Haitian home. Pepper and salt represent Americans’ ability to afford the simple things in life with ease. These and common products like Wi-Fi, foreign restaurants and designer fashion stores symbolize the strength and affluence of a nation’s economy. Countries with the strongest economies strive for efficiency. In the last two years, America has gone from having the fifth-strongest economy to having the third-strongest in 2014. If our economy was weak, American lifestyles would be very different. Greece is experiencing this forced change in lifestyle. Pepper and salt are falling lower and lower on their grocery lists. Likewise, Greeks are losing more common items in their country that symbolize their nation’s wealth.
at the way of the future? If you believe in the President’s plan, the United States will become the leader in green technology by the end of 2020. That means education will start moving toward the greener side and the want for green jobs will greatly increase. Green is not always what you think it is. As I looked at getting hard numbers to illustrate the increase in desire for green jobs I found it hard to get
a straight answer. That’s because green jobs are not just the solar, wind and water energy production. They include companies that take old buildings and give them a new lease on life. Jobs like restoration count as “green-ish” as their output is greener than a new home, but their input is not that green. The future is in green; we just have to embrace it a little harder.

Tech Express Cafe opens opportunities
Kayetlin Shady Reporter
It’s not an easy job to run a cafe, especially while being a student — but four students still find time to manage the new addition and take part in the Student Leadership Council. The Tech Express Cafe is a volunteerbased cafe located in the College of Technology that was created by the Technology Student Leadership Council in collaboration with the College of Business. Averi Hill, a junior marketing major, is the student director of the Tech Express Cafe. “As student director, I oversee the cafe, run the meetings for the cafe executive board and ensure members of the Exec Board are fulfilling their duties,” Hill said. Sara Young, a senior and packaging engineering technology and Japanese double major, is the president of the Technology Student Leadership Council as well as the co-financial director. “As president, I run the meetings,
oversee the committees and organize and delegate projects. As co-financial director, I deposit the money made each day, keep track of income each month, keep track of volunteer and organization hours, keep track of inventory costs and reimburse various members,” Young said. Holden Theriault, a junior information technology major, is the assistant marketing director. “As assistant marketing director, I create fliers, advertisements and all marketing-related duties for TSLC,” Theriault said. Kassandra Smith, a junior mechanical information technology major, is the staffing and training director of the Tech Express Cafe. “I weekly inform, recruit and train organization members [who] are volunteering at the cafe. In addition I organize, label and innovate the cafe to be able to efficiently purchase from and volunteer at,” Smith said. The cafe is open from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Monday through Thursday and offers an
array of items ranging from 30 cents to $3.50. “The Tech Express Cafe menu items consists of fresh brewed REX coffee, cinnamon rolls, Boar’s Head sandwiches, vegetable trays, snacks, a variety of flavored coffee, tea, Gatorade, fruit juices and more,” Theriault said. They accept cash, credit cards and debit cards. The Technology Student Leadership Council — the student organization that runs the café — wants to help students grow. “The Technology Student Leadership Council is a council run primarily by College of Technology students that is dedicated to student growth. The Council gives participating members an opportunity to build leadership skills while serving in an advisory capacity for the College of Technology,” Hill said. “The Council also provides input on services directly related to students, such as career services, outreach to employers and community, marketing, social networking and experimental learning projects. Representing the perspectives
of the College of Technology students, the Council is intended to help College of Technology faculty and staff better address the needs of students.” So what does the Tech Express Cafe have to offer the campus? It’s an opportunity for students to build a resume and enhance their communication skills. The cafe provides an enjoyable atmosphere for faculty and students to interact with the College of Technology. When discussing the purpose and goal of the Tech Express Cafe, Hill also stated that “the Cafe is designed to help students develop important entrepreneurial skills such as leadership, teamwork, communication, organization, marketing and innovation. It is also designed to promote and support the organizations within the College of Technology. Since the Cafe relies on volunteers, those volunteers can earn money for a College of Technology organization of their choosing — up to 30 percent of the total profits made by the Cafe per month.”
Mardi Gras party to transport students to French Quarter Adler Ingalsbe Reporter Indiana State University will hold a Mardi Gras-themed party on Tuesday from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. in Dede I, II and III of the Hulman Memorial Student Union. With Mardi Gras taking place in New Orleans, Louisiana from Jan. 31 until Feb. 15, ISU is trying to get in the mood — as if they were on Bourbon Street and in the French Quarter themselves. Freda Luers, Campus Life director of student activities and organizations, said this isn’t the first year that Indiana State has put on this party for students. “[It is an] annual event that is a celebration of Mardi Gras,” Luers said.
The party is sponsored by the Union Board and Office of Campus Life and is open to all students attending ISU. Students will be able to participate in a number of Mardi Gras activities. “[There will be a] variety of fun activities. Highlights include: live band karaoke, crafts, photo booth, a psychic and refreshments,” Luers said. There is no charge for students to come to the party and they aren’t supposed to dress any specific way. “[There is] no charge for admission. The attire [for the event] is casual,” Luers said. She said the party does not benefit any organizations, but is held to help students get away from their books and
classes and enjoy a fun evening that most people who live in Terre Haute or Indiana don’t have the chance to take part in very often. “It is just a time to have fun and take a break from studying,” Luers said. Dalton Hatcher, a junior sports management major, said he thinks the party will be cool, especially for the students who haven’t had the chance to see what Mardi Gras is all about. “Going to Indiana State and being born and raised in Indiana, I’ve never had the opportunity to see what goes on down in New Orleans during this time of year,” Hatcher said. Kelli Buchanan, a sophomore nursing major, was born in the south but, like
Hatcher, hasn’t had a chance to attend the Mardi Gras festivities. “I was born in Florida, but didn’t live there very long. I wasn’t there long enough to see exactly what it feels like during Mardi Gras, but it is something on my bucket list that I would like to check off sometime,” Buchanan said. Mardi Gras celebrations are known for exotic colors, masks, costumes and dancing. Most states hold some kind of party to celebrate this time that is cherished by many Americans.

Bulldogs whimper as Sycamores cruise Rob Lafary Sports Editor
Four weeks ago, Indiana State University men’s basketball watched its 5-0 start in the Missouri Valley Conference come to an end in an 84-78 loss at Drake University. On Saturday, the Sycamores got their revenge. Paced by five double-digit scorers and a stingy defense, Indiana State rolled over the Bulldogs in the second goaround, defeating Drake 75-54 in front of a less than spectacular Valentine’s Day crowd at the Hulman Center. The win evens the Sycamores’ record for the week after falling on Wednesday at No. 15 Wichita State and allows head coach Greg Lansing and company to maintain third place in the MVC standings. “Tremendous team win over one of the hottest teams in the league right now,” Lansing said following the game. “Tried to talk to our guys about the importance of this game and the landscape of everything. To play the way we did with one of our key players out is great. We got contributions from everybody.” The two teams were tied for just 59 seconds and Indiana State never trailed as the Sycamores were on a mission from the opening tip until the final buzzer. In hopes of a better defensive effort, Indiana State’s man-to-man defense suffocated Drake into early turnovers,
which led to points on the offensive end. A jumper by Khristian Smith kickstarted the afternoon and the Sycamores quickly jumped out to a 16-5 lead with 11:29 to play in the first half. The lead blossomed to 18 points five minutes later but the Bulldogs managed to slice the deficit in half by halftime, trailing 34-25. Drake committed 10 turnovers in the first half with Indiana State converting those mistakes into 12 points. Lansing said the defense was quite the turnaround from the first matchup. “They scored 84 points on us and we fouled them and gave them open shots,” Lansing said of the defense from the Jan. 17 game. “We wanted to come out and mature as a team a little bit and try and lengthen that lead a little bit. When we get stops we’re pretty good in transition. After a little spurt there in the second half we played really good defense overall.” The spurt that Lansing mentioned was one that Drake made for the first 11 minutes of the second half and brought the visitors to within five at 52-47 with 9:21 to go. That’s when Indiana State turned up the heat again and immediately went back out by double-digits. Two quick layups by Devonte Brown and Smith made it 56-47 and free throws
by Smith and Jake Kitchell put the lead at 13 just a minute later. The lead continued to soar more on baskets off of turnovers and Grant Prusator’s fourth three-pointer of the game gave Indiana State a 69-47 advantage with 3:43 to play. The Sycamores cruised from there, ultimately settling on a 75-54 final score. Indiana State was forced to switch up the starting lineup with starting forward Justin Gant out for the game with concussion-like symptoms. The change though, which was a smaller lineup, paid off. Brown led the Sycamores with 15 points while Smith scored 13; the first time the junior has reached double figures since the first meeting against Drake. Tre Bennett, who started in place of Gant, scored 12 with Prusator equaling his teammate in the score column. Kitchell added 10 in the winning effort. Gant is expected to be back this week. Drake Trevor Berkeley led all scorers with 18 points and Reed Timmer added 14 points. Indiana State visits Missouri State on Wednesday night for their second matchup of the season.

Indiana State women’s basketball falls to SIU Southern Illinois shot nearly 50 percent from the field and the three-point line as it powered its way past the Indiana State women’s basketball team, 76-58, on Sunday afternoon. Indiana State is now 16-8 overall on the 2014-15 season and 6-7 in Missouri Valley Conference action. The Salukis’ win marks the first victory inside Hulman Center since 1999 and first conference sweep of the Sycamores since 1996. A 48.1 percent clip helped them from the field on the afternoon and a 61.5 percent mark from 3-point range. Redshirt junior Cierra Ceazer led with a game-high 16 points including an 8-for-8 percentage from the free throw line. Senior forward Racheal Mahan contributed 13 points and three rebounds as Indiana State shot just 32.2 percent from the floor on the afternoon. Senior forward Chelsea Small finished the game with her third-straight double figure scoring effort, with 12 points on 5-for-7 shooting and adding a teamhigh six rebounds. Senior forward Jasmine Grier also notched double figures with 10 points, three rebounds, two steals and two assists. Southern Illinois stormed out to a 10-2 lead three minutes into the contest as the Sycamores’ offense shot just 21.4 percent at the under 12 minute media time-
out. Also nixing some of the Sycamores defensive mojo, senior guard Travecia Franklin picked up her third foul with 12:17 remaining in the first half. The Salukis led by as many as 12 in the opening period, but Ceazer’s drive in the lane cut it down to seven with 5:56 to play before the break. SIU took a 31-23 halftime lead after shooting 44.4 in the first half and holding Indiana State to a 28.1 percent shooting. Chelsea Small with a hustle play led to a steal, as she tallied three on the afternoon, and layup with 14:20 in the game, forcing a SIU timeout that cut the lead down to six. Franklin picked up her fourth foul shortly after sending SIU to the line to convert two free throws. Small hit a 3-pointer to cut the deficit back down to six, 46-40, but Southern responded with five straight points to extend its lead back to double digits. It continued to be all SIU from there as the Sycamores compiled just six points in the final 4:56 of the ballgame. Indiana State will gear up for its final two game conference road swing of the season as it heads to Northern Iowa and Drake on Feb. 20 and 22. Story by ISU Athletic Media Relations

Timlin, Lucas break school records at Hoosier Hills Friday Kevin Jenison
ISU Athletic Media Relations The Indiana State Track and Field team established two school records Friday as the Sycamores continued to finetune their performances ahead of the 2014 Missouri Valley Conference Indoor Championships at the end of February. Indiana State sophomore David Timlin and senior Nicole Lucas each established new top marks in their respective events during the Hoosier Hills competition in Indiana University’s Gladstein Fieldhouse. Timlin established the new school record for the men’s mile as he raced against time while outdistancing the field in winning the fast heat of the men’s mile in 4:01.88. His finish broke Jeremiah Vaughan’s 5-year-old school record of 4:04.04 in 2010. “Every lap I knew I was close to the record,” Timlin said after the race. “Just willed myself to keep going, keep pushing every lap. I have been practicing hard with the goal to break the goal. I really wanted to get that record.” Lucas established the second school record of the night when she finished third in the fast heat of the women’s 3,000-meter run in 9:47.18. Lucas broke Jessica Crowder’s 10-year-old record of 9:47.59 in 2005. Indiana State freshman Taylor Austin was eighth in the heat with a career-best 10:03.73. “I really wanted to break the record tonight,” Lucas said. “I am really looking forward to the conference championships.” Those may have been the only two records set in Bloomington but it was not the only outstanding performances for the Sycamores on the night. Alethia Marrero dominated the fast heat of the women’s 400-meter dash and established a career-best with a winning time of 54.35. The time is just a second off Alicia Miller’s 2004 record time of 53.25 seconds. Chidera Obasih picked up the win in the women’s 60-meter as she ran a career-best 7.52 seconds which is the sixth-fastest time in school history. The junior also had the fastest time in the preliminaries at 7.57. Kaisha Martin was fourth in the finals at 7.71 after running 7.68 in the preliminaries.

Adarius Washington came close to his career-best in the finals of the men’s 60-meter hurdles as he ran away with the win in 7.82 seconds.
