Sycamores succumb to Shockers Alex Modesitt Copy Editor

Wichita State showed on Sunday why they are still considered the cream of the crop in the Missouri Valley Conference with a convincing 84-51 win over Indiana State.

The Shockers clinched sole possession of the regular season MVC title while the Sycamores dropped their fifth straight and failed to distance themselves from the conference bottom dwellers ahead of Arch Madness.

The Sycamores’ current slide has left many searching for answers, but head coach Greg Lansing said that the blame is shared by all in the program.

“We’re a shell of the basketball team that we were a couple weeks ago,” Lansing said. “The blame starts with me but I think it filters down to every player.”

Senior forward Ron Baker of Wichita led all scorers with 14. He also chipped in with five rebounds, three steals and two blocked shots.

Joining him in doubledigit scoring were teammates Shaquille Morris and Zach Brown, both finished with 11.

Morris rounded out his performance with four rebounds and a pair of blocks while Brown added two assists to the box score.

“Shaq (Morris) has been playing really good basketball,” Wichita State head coach Gregg Marshall said. “Fred (Van Vleet) usually finds him on his rolls to the basket. He was able to score with his midrange jumper and made some free throws. His defense was really good. He builds what we call the “Great Wall of Shaq” and

he just puts his hands up and a lot of times people run right into him and he doesn’t budge much.”

More than any one player having a standout performance, the strength of Wichita’s win came from their ability to find open looks off effective screens and timely passes.

The Shockers abused the Sycamores using ball

screens that freed the handler to drive or kick to an open shooter. The well-oiled Wichita offense ran their offense around a hapless ISU defense that allowed 20 assists on 29 made field goals and a 5-to-1 assist-to-turnover ratio.

“We wanted our manto-man to be somewhat like a zone trying to get

it out of the hands of Van Vleet and Baker,” a dejected Lansing said after the game. “I just thought they dictated us more than we tried to take stuff away.”

Indiana State was led in scoring by sophomore guard Brenton Scott with 14 and senior Devonte Brown with 11. The two combined to shoot an inefficient 8-23 from the floor,

just a tic above the team’s shooting performance for the game.

The Sycamores never seriously threatened the Shockers, as the depth and talent discrepancy shone through early in the first half.

After tying the game at 7, Wichita went to work for the rest of the first half, amassing a 44-26 halftime

lead. The Shockers were white-hot from the field hitting 50 percent of their shots while ISU converted just 32 percent of their tries in the first half to go along with seven turnovers.

Indiana State hits the road for their next contest, visiting conference foe Northern Iowa on Wednesday at 8 p.m.

The Internet has a Students can protect themselves on campus new hobby: trolling campaign websites Tyler Davis Reporter

This week, a delighted Internet audience discovered that JebBush.com redirects visitors to frontrunner Donald Trump’s campaign website.

It’s an easy joke. Noticing that the Bush campaign, which uses jeb2016. com, had failed to register the other domain as a precaution, someone else decided to have some fun.

Hunting for and buying domain names that presidential campaigns may have overlooked has become a popular sport this election season. Part prank, part Internet attack ad, this trend also gives any online user with some cash or a good sense of timing the ability to reach thousands in a matter of hours and drive the conversation.

Some websites are juvenile in their simplicity.

After Trump was defeated

by Texas Sen. Ted Cruz in the Iowa caucus, loser.com was redirected to his Wikipedia biography. In a similar vein, taunting the businessman’s bravado and oft-repeated line about winning at everything, Nobodyrememberswhocameinsecond.com took visitors to his Wikipedia page as well. As of Feb. 19, it redirects to a YouTube video of comedians poking fun at his campaign.

Another creative netizen bought TedCruzforAmerica.com last summer and decided to redirect it to different sites depending on what is in the news.

Last summer it redirected to HealthCare.gov, the site for President Barack Obama’s Affordable Care Act, against which Cruz led a government shutdown in 2013. At another point it took people to articles critical of Cruz’s policies. This week the website took over social media once more when users discovered it took them to the Canadian government’s immigration page.

Although Cruz was born in Calgary, Alberta, he became an automatic U.S. citizen through his American mother. That hasn’t stopped the issue of whether he’s a naturalborn citizen from haunting him on the campaign trail, leading the candidate to emphatically say at Wednesday’s CNN town hall in Greenville, S.C.: “I never breathed a breath of air on this planet when I was not a U.S. citizen.”

The number of fake campaign domains continues to grow. Bernieforpresident.com leads to a page giving the choice between Bernie Sanders and Bernie Lomax, the fictional dead character from the film “Weekend at Bernie’s.”

TedCruz.com just leads to a bare-bones site with the

Crime is an unfortunate aspect of any community that can take a negative toll on those who encounter it.

A simple walk can turn dangerous in a matter of seconds, and it’s crucial to be prepared and aware of all tools at your disposal in any given scenario.

A way to prevent injury during a personal attack is to use self-defense. Items that prevent an attacker from harming a victim play a role in averting violence, but often students don’t know what options are available to them.

“Mace/chemical sprays legally purchased and used in a lawful manner (are) permitted on campus,” said Craig Enyeart, assistant dean of students.

“Tasers are not permitted per the university Weap-

ons Policy. As with all personal safety equipment (whistles, mace, keys), only the person carrying the item should know it exists.”

Those possessing such safety equipment should not “flash” it around — in other words, make the material’s presence known to others.

“Flashing the personal safety equipment defeats the purpose of self-protection, as a possible attacker will adjust their attack strategy to counteract the device,” Enyeart said.

It should also be noted that use of items such as mace or stun guns for reasons other than selfdefense is unlawful and against the university code of conduct.

Enyeart said any such action “…will result in a conversation and possible violations of university

policy.”

In addition to these selfdefense methods, Public Safety has also provided students access to a free app, Rave Guardian, which can “turn your phone into a personal safety device.”

One of the services the app offers is a “safety timer,” which gives the user a period of time to get to their destination before contacting friends or family to check on the user.

The user turns the timer off once they’re done traveling, letting others know that they made it home safe.

The app can contact police and relay important medical information in the event of an emergency, along with other helpful features that promote the safety and well-being of students on and off campus. The app is available for both iPhone and An-

droid devices, and can be downloaded for free.

Students can also use the blue light phone system, which is available across campus.

The phones act as an emergency system that can be used “for anything you would even use your telephone for,” said Joe Newport, chief of Indiana State University police. “If you saw somebody injured, or you got somebody that’s coming after you and you don’t feel comfortable or they made you feel unsafe, I would definitely use the emergency button.”

Non-emergencies or otherwise minor mishaps should be reported by pressing the information button on the phone systems.

The best way to handle criminal activity is to bring the issue directly to the police, Newport said.

Missouri professor vows to fight for her job Robert A. Cronkleton The Kansas City Star (TNS)

The assistant University of Missouri professor caught on video calling for “muscle” to remove a student journalist from a campus protest last November said in an interview with “CBS This Morning” that she was embarrassed by her behavior.

“I believe it doesn’t represent who I am as a person,” Click said in an interview with CBS News correspondent Anna Werner. “It doesn’t represent the good I was doing there

that day, and you know, certainly I wish I could do it over again.”

Click said she didn’t know for sure the student was a real journalist.

“He introduced himself only as media and came at me with a camera,” Click said.

Werner pointed out that it was a camera, not a weapon.

“Sure, but it wasn’t a big camera,” Click responded. “It could have been a phone-sized camera. …

Again, it didn’t say ‘professional journalist’ to me.”

Many professional news

organizations, including The Kansas City Star, have their reporters routinely use iPhones and cellphones to gather news video.

Click said her call for muscle was a mistake.

“I never ever meant that as a call for violence,” she said. “It was just one of those things said in the heat of the moment.”

The Board of Curators called for an investigation of Click’s actions in the November video after the Columbia prosecutor charged her with assault.

She agreed to a deal late

last month to avoid prosecution by doing community service and staying out of trouble for a year.

Curators suspended Click pending their investigation.

Werner asked Click about another video that surfaced last week showing her confronting Columbia police during an earlier protest at a homecoming parade last fall.

In the video, an agitated Click confronts police who were moving a group of predominately black pro-

How would a Bernie Sanders tax on Wall Street work?

Clarice Silber

McClatchy Washington Bureau (TNS)

Bernie Sanders says his plan for free college for all could be paid for with a tax on Wall Street trading, a plan that his website says will have the additional benefit of reducing “risky and unproductive high-speed trading and other forms of Wall Street speculation.”

But how would such a tax work? And could it raise the sums of money needed to provide a free college education for all?

Financial transaction taxes are not new. They’re often called Tobin taxes, for the Nobel laureate economist James Tobin, who in the early 1970s pressed for a tax on foreign exchange transactions. Tobin hoped to make foreign exchange markets more stable by curbing shortterm speculation. A financial transaction tax has been levied in Great Britain since the 17th century.

A tax on Wall Street transactions likely would affect both big traders and mom-and-pop investors, and probably would impose different levies on different types of trading.

Sanders’ own proposal before Congress calls for 0.5 percent on stock trades, 0.1 percent on bond trades and 0.005 percent on derivatives.

Supporters of the tax say the burden of the tax

TROLL FROM PAGE 1 words “Support President Obama. Immigration Reform Now!” Some websites don’t just redirect, but also use the attention as a platform to make a point about a candidate.

CarlyFiorina.org leads to a stark white-on-gray page that declares, “Carly Fiorina failed to register this domain. So I’m using it to tell you how many people she laid off at Hewlett-Packard. It was this many.”

It’s followed by a seemingly endless wall of sad face emoticons that ends with the line, “That’s 30,000 people she laid off.

People with families.”

The message is simple but effective. And while these website pranks are unlikely to lead to genuine confusion among voters, their tendency to go viral on social media gives the public a new way to criticize a candidate or draw attention to a certain policy.

If the timing is right, these websites can be more than just a joke. They can highlight a campaign’s shortcomings and feed a certain narrative illustrated best by the “poor Jeb” sentiment that has been prevalent on social media.

would fall largely on frequent traders, while those who buy stocks and hold on to them regardless of market conditions likely would barely notice its effect.

Such a tax has the potential to yield billions of dollars. A recent analysis by strange kind of pity on Twitter and Facebook.

His most-shared clips recently have been the moment when he told a New Hampshire audience to “please clap” and a video labeled “Jeb hug — sad times” in which he enthusiastically embraced a supporter who said he “might” vote for him.

When the Internet rediscovered this week that the domain bearing Bush’s name went straight to Trump’s website — this had been first noticed by the media in December — the timing was perfect.

Popular news outlets including The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, the Huffington Post and Vox wrote about the site, the latter’s headline declaring, “How badly is Bush getting owned in this primary?

JebBush.com goes to DonaldJTrump. com.”

The Trump campaign said it was not involved with the website, and the owner used a privacy system to remain unlisted.

Innovative jokers are likely to have plenty of material in the coming months.

Some have taken a different approach to give their favorite candidate a boost online: berniesingles.com, a dating site to meet and connect with other Sanders supporters, already has over 1,000 registered users.

the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center found that a 0.01 percent tax rate — onehundredth of a percentage point — could generate $185 billion over 10 years.

Financial transaction taxes “are a good way to raise money and they dampen speculation,” said

Dean Baker, an economist and co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Research. “They discourage speculation for the simple reason it’s more expensive.”

Yet many other economists discredit financial transaction taxes for ex-

actly that reason, arguing that they ultimately reduce asset values and cause trading volumes to drop.

“You are going to earn some revenue on the tax side, but you’re going to lose revenue on the capital gain side,” said James Angel, a finance professor

at Georgetown University.

“The net impact is going to be revenue raised is a whole lot smaller than the proponents of the bill are talking about.”

US says profit driving Apple’s refusal to unlock San Bernardino shooter’s phone Sean Cockerham

McClatchy Washington Bureau (TNS)

The Justice Department is charging that Apple’s refusal to help the FBI unlock the cellphone of San Bernardino, Calif., shooter Syed Farook is about profit and not a principled stand to protect the data of all iPhone users.

In a court filing Friday, Justice Department lawyers said Apple’s objection to a court order “appears to be based on its concern for its business model and public brand marketing strategy.”

Analysts of the hotly competitive cellphone market said in interviews that Apple’s stand against the government is indeed likely to be good for business — even if the company genuinely cares about privacy.

Apple is challenging federal Magistrate Judge Sheri Pym’s order to help unlock the phone used by Farook, who along with his wife killed 14 people in a Southern California terror attack in December.

Justice Department prosecutors asked the judge in their Friday filing to dismiss Apple’s challenge, which the company has yet to file, and demand

the company immediately start assisting the FBI to open Farook’s phone.

The prosecutors also revealed that Farook’s employer, San Bernardino County, may have been responsible inadvertently for the inability to read the phone’s data. According to a footnote, county administrators, in an effort to access the phone, remotely reset the phone’s iCloud

password after the attack.

The change effectively severed the connection between the phone and its iCloud account, preventing further backups, the footnote said.

During a Friday appearance in Sacramento, Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence Committee, also called on Apple CEO Tim Cook to

reverse course.

“Apple is not above the laws of the United States,” Feinstein said.

Cook, in a public letter this week challenging the court order, called the implications of the government’s demand “chilling.”

He said the order would require Apple to create software to circumvent the phone’s security system, producing a key that could be used by hackers to steal data from anyone’s iPhone.

“The U.S. government has asked us for something we simply do not have, and something we consider too dangerous to create. They have asked us to build a backdoor to the iPhone,” Cook wrote.

The Justice Department prosecutors argued Friday that Cook is mischaracterizing the government’s request. Their filing said Apple would be under no obligation to share how it unlocked the phone with the FBI or others once it had complied with the court order.

“Apple may maintain custody of the software, destroy it after its purpose under the Order has been served, refuse to disseminate it outside of Apple, and make clear to the world that it does not ap-

“You can understand where a lot of people watching those videos are saying, ‘She’s got a problem,’” Werner said in the CBS interview.

director of the Center on Privacy and Technology at Georgetown University Law Center. “If you look at his language he talks about privacy in a way that few of these other tech CEOs do.”

Bedoya and other observers of the tech industry noted, though, that Apple’s refusal to help the FBI access the encrypted data also neatly aligns with the company’s current business strategy.

“They’re basically making a big push on privacy, and it benefits them financially,” Bedoya said.

Unlike Facebook and Google, which make their money from collecting data on users, Apple’s revenue comes from selling hardware. A reputation as a defender of consumer

privacy might benefit that business.

Cook’s denunciation of the order came as Apple launched its smartphonebased payment system in China, where the electronic payments market is already dominated by an arm of e-commerce giant Alibaba.

“I think it’s going to be a reason for people to upgrade or move to Apple or back to Apple,” said John Feland, CEO of Argus Insights, a research company that specializes in smartphone marketing.

“Especially in other markets where privacy considerations are even higher than they are in the United States, it will become a boon to Apple,” he added.

Daniel Matte, who analyzes the cellphone indus-

try for the market research firm Canalys, said challenging the government “is a marketing advantage to them to tout their privacy and security ideals.”

But there could also be blowback against Apple for refusing to cooperate with the government in a terrorism case, he said.

“It helps them with users who appreciate their stance on data security but it also will anger a lot of people who have a different political viewpoint on the issue,” Matte said.

Feland of Argus Insights said he expected any backlash against the company to be short-lived. “I think longer term it fits into their overall story of taking care of their customers,” he said. “I think it’s going to be a positive for them.”

Feland said the move could build momentum for the upcoming release of the iPhone 7.

Apple could especially benefit in the enormous China market, Feland said, where the company is in fierce competition with Xiaomi and Huawei, two Chinese cellphone manufacturers.

Feinstein, in her Friday remarks about Apple at a Public Policy Institute of California event, did not assign a motive to Apple’s refusal to cooperate with the FBI. But she said the company is wrong.

“We don’t know whether that couple were lone wolves … or whether they are part of some cell planted here, developing here, with more people connected,” she said. “And

that’s where the iPhone comes in.”

The government has only been able to obtain incomplete backup iCloud data from Farook’s phone up until Oct. 19, a month and a half before the attack, according to the Justice Department’s court filing. Because of the security features of Farook’s phone, data could be destroyed if the FBI tries 10 incorrect passwords.

“Rather than assist the effort to fully investigate a deadly terrorist attack by obeying this Court’s order of February 16, 2016, Apple has responded by publicly repudiating that Order,” the prosecutors wrote.

bearing the burden of the tax.”

Other economists say a financial transaction tax could be instrumental in decreasing high-frequency trading, which occurs on powerful computers that use complex algorithms to spot trends within milliseconds.

High-frequency trading is often criticized as risky and increasing volatility in the market.

“We should see trading going down,” said economist Robert Pollin, a Uni-

versity of Massachusetts at Amherst professor and director of the Political Economy Research Institute. “There’s nothing wrong with that; there’s excessive trading. Trading volume has gone up many, many folds.”

Pollin, much like Baker, thinks the U.S. should look at the positive effects that financial transaction taxes have had in other countries, especially in the United Kingdom, where a 0.5 percent stamp tax solely on stock trades in the

London Stock Exchange generates nearly $40 billion a year.

“It’s operative in the U.K. (and the) financial market is broadly similar,” Pollin said.

The U.K.’s use of a tax on transactions stretches to 1694, when it first enacted the British stamp tax. Today, the U.K.’s stamp tax applies to the stock trades its companies make regardless of where they take place.

Other countries’ experiences with transaction

taxes haven’t fared as well.

Sweden’s attempt at imposing a 0.5 percent tax on stock trading in 1984 — in 1986, it doubled the rate — led to major drops in trading volume, vast offshore trading activity in London and far less revenue than projected. Sweden repealed the tax in 1991.

Pollin helped write a proposed transaction tax that was introduced by Rep. Keith Ellison, DMinn., in 2013 as the Inclusive Prosperity Act. The bill attracted support

from many members of Congress and grass-roots movements but has not passed.

Sanders has introduced his own proposal with the same rate structure that Ellison’s legislation proposed.

Eleven nations in the European Union are moving toward embracing financial transaction taxes, including Italy, Germany, France and Spain.

Things every ISU student should do before graduating Mustafa Mustafa Reporter

Spending four years at any given place makes it eventually feel like home, and Indiana State University is no different. There are, however, a few things that are made special by being at ISU. Some opportunities are just not worth missing; they are how you bond and make some of the best friends you will ever have in your college career and beyond.

1. Run through the fountain.

While it may have been closed previously for construction, and is currently closed for the winter, the fountain is an icon of ISU. Freshmen and other students through the ages have gone through this rite of passage. Come the warmer days of spring and the current freshmen will finally be able to add this amazing experience to their lists. On a warm, cloudless, starry spring night nothing beats a group of good friends and a run through the fountain.

2. Participate in Homecoming and Spring Week.

Like many schools ISU has a long-standing tradition of Homecoming. Sadly most students know Homecoming as the parade and game, but there is more to it on our humble campus. Some of the events that grew into traditions are Sycamore Sync and the Trike race. You can dance your nights away with friends in Sync practice, or pedal towards victory in Trike.

Spring Week makes for traditions close to if not as big as Homecoming, with Remix, Tandem and Battleship leading the way.

All of these will make for unforgettable moments in your life.

3. Go to at least one game for all Sycamore Teams.

Everyone goes to at least one football and basketball game during their time here, and while those games are always amazing to witness, do not miss out on all the other sports as well. ISU has many other teams, including baseball, track and volleyball. These are just a few, but going to all of them and cheering on our Sycamores with friends will be an enjoyable time.

4. Pull an all-nighter at the library.

Did you procrastinate that 10-page research paper? Did you forget to study for that midterm

He has performed for 78 university teams in 32 states.

None of them were football teams. The story also said Studdard was 11 years old when his cousin was killed in a gang-related shooting. His cousin was shot when Studdard was 11 and was killed while Studdard was in college.

For many students and teachers, the lessons of ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ resonate Zahira Torres

Los Angeles Times (TNS)

Eighth-grader Daisy Vetter dropped to the floor and curled up in a ball when news of Harper Lee’s death came over the intercom at Walter Reed Middle School in North Hollywood on Friday morning.

Her friends asked what was wrong. They just didn’t understand, Daisy said, why “To Kill a Mockingbird,” the 1960 Pulitzer Prize-winning novel that made Lee famous, is so important to her.

Narrated by a sympathetic tomboy just a bit younger than Daisy, the book has helped generations grapple with questions of race and justice.

“It’s such a grabbing book,” said Daisy, 13. “It literally keeps me up at night. I don’t sleep.”

Few books have shaped the country’s literary landscape more than Lee’s tale of a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman in the small fictional Southern town Lee fashioned after Monroeville, Ala., where she lived and died.

When she needed help during her first year as a teacher, Leah Bass-Baylis turned to the book’s themes of acceptance and determination. She had been assigned a class of fourth- and fifth-grade students with disabilities who had gone through a rotating array of teachers and substitutes.

Bass-Baylis said she leaned on excerpts from the book and movie, combining it with “The Diary of a Young Girl,” the account of Anne Frank, who died in the Holocaust, and “Biko,” the Donald Wood biography about the black

South African activist Steve Biko, who died in police custody in 1977.

“I used the books and the movies to talk about man’s inhumanity to man,” said Bass-Baylis, now the principal at Santana Elementary in North Hills.

“While you feel you’re having it tough, a lot of people have it tougher,” she said. “Then there’s that next step of ... how can we be kind to each other?”

The novel became a staple in classrooms across the country, as people of all ages found resonance in its timeless characters, including Scout, the precocious narrator who gives us her account of the wrongly accused Tom Robinson and his defense by her trial attorney father, Atticus Finch.

At Reed Middle School on Friday, teachers said that decades after its release, the lessons — not judging someone before walking in their shoes and that fairness is elusive — remained poignant.

Students seemed to get that.

“It’s interesting seeing the point of view from a little girl with all the racism and how she handles it,” said Eleana Toscano, 13. “Her dad is defending a black person in court even though he knows he won’t win and the kids at Scout’s school are making fun of her, but she knows better than to listen to them.”

“To Kill A Mockingbird” is not required reading in district schools. Teachers are given discretion to choose the books they believe best work in their classrooms. As Lee’s novel ages, some have opted for newer books that deal with similar topics, said Dharma Hernandez, secondary

literacy coordinator for the Los Angeles Unified School District.

Still, Hernandez said, the issues explored in the novel continue to endure as groups such as Black Lives Matter, formed in response to high-profile police killings of black men, have helped bring national attention to racial inequalities.

“It still addresses themes and issues that we are grappling with today in our society,” Hernandez said. “Harper Lee gave us a great gift in ‘Mockingbird,’ and I think it’s a gift that will continue to live on. It encourages our students and society to explore these issues.”

Some scholars have suggested that Lee’s book too easily neglects the level of racial violence African Americans were forced to endure.

In an essay published last year, Stephen Goodwin, a novelist and professor at George Mason University in Virginia argued that “To Kill a Mockingbird” created too rosy a picture of the South during those violent times.

“Even though the plot turns on the death of an innocent black man, the tone is jarringly cheerful,” Goodwin said. “Take out the trial and death of Tom Robinson, and the book is like ‘The Little Rascals,’ all about the pranks and high jinks of a bunch of lovable kids.”

For Shalonda Ward, a student at Washington Preparatory High School, the novel is outdated. The setting is too old-fashioned and the vocabulary too difficult, she said.

Games.’”

Eighth-grader Jacob Ramer, on the other hand, said the lessons of the novel challenge him to consider how much progress has been made in achieving equality for all.

“It’s amazing considering how much has changed and how little has changed at the same time,” Jacob said. “People are saying, ‘Look how far we’ve come’ ... but there are still so many instances of racism happening.”

But Scott Braxton, who oversees alternative schools for L.A. Unified, said the novel pushed him to do better for his stu-

dents.

Braxton, who is black, saw the movie when he was 7. He recalls how moved he was by the storyline of a white attorney who defies his white Southern neighbors to stand up for justice.

“I would say I was emotionally struck,” Braxton said. “While I learned about the kind of lives the generation before me lived, it restored my sense that we were going in the right direction as a nation.”

Event shines light on HPV threat Grace Harrah Reporter

Senior Seminar hosted an event on Feb. 17 to spread awareness about the Human Papillomavirus, a virus spread through sexual intercourse that can cause cervical cancer.

Hosted by senior students and the Crisis Pregnancy Center, the event featured a documentary about stories from women who have faced HPV. The documentary, “Someone You Love: HPV Epidemic,” followed a few women’s stories about how they have faced or overcome HPV. One woman’s story showed her tough fight

with the deadly cancer.

She went through multiple procedures of chemotherapy, but the cancer kept coming back.

As the last resort, she removed her cervix and vagina all together, but the cancer had spread to her spine, and she died a year and a half after she was diagnosed with the disease.

The documentary also showed how cervical cancer is found, the tests that are performed to find the virus and how it is treated.

HPV is mainly found through a Pap smear test.

It’s a common virus, but the cancerous types of HPV are rare.

There are some types of HPV that can cause warts

and other types that show no side effects at all.

The documentary also showed the women’s difficulties with sexual identity after overcoming the disease.

It showed the women’s healing processes and how they have dealt with families and friends and support other women who are diagnosed with HPV. The documentary suggested that women should get a checkup every year.

Vaccinations are available that can prevent women from having the cancerous types of HPV. The vaccination is a three-step process, the only one found to highly prevent cancer in the cer-

vix.

Vaccinations are available in Terre Haute, and it’s recommended to get them as early as possible.

Anyone can get a checkup for HPV at the Crisis Pregnancy Center, which is located on 530 Wabash Avenue.

Kier Hopkins Smith, a representative from Crisis Pregnancy Center in Terre Haute, explained how cervical cancer is not talked about enough, and people who are sexually active don’t know much about it.

“Anyone can contract HPV who is sexually active,” he explained. “In our overly sexual society that we live today, it seems that we have no option of being

abstinent anymore.

But what I want everyone to know is that there is an option out there to remove sex altogether from your life. It is the only way you can be 100 percent sure about not getting diseases such as HPVs.” The documentary showed students, couples and families that HPV is a serious disease that affects many women and men, their families and friends.

It is not too late to get a checkup or the vaccinations.

“Having sex is a choice that you make, and it often comes with consequences,” Smith said. “Just like gambling, you’re rolling the dice.”

Though it looks small, ‘Ant-Man’ is big fun Erica Garnes Reporter

No matter how old we get, it will always be okay to like “The Avengers.”

“Ant-man” is a superhero film that premiered June 2015 but just recently came out on DVD. Let’s just take a second to praise Redbox — they truly do save the day.

Ant-man’s main character is played by Paul Rudd, and also features actors and actresses such as

Evangeline Lily, Michael Douglas, Michael Pena, Judy Greer and rapper T.I. Ant-man is just like your regular superhero, except he doesn’t have anything close to Thor’s hammer or the Hulk’s angry green skin.

What he does have is the power to shrink as small as an ant to do the same thing as they all do: save the world.

This movie has all parts of a great movie — great sense of humor, incredible

action scenes, and if you’re into production and movies with great storytelling, this is the movie for you.

It starts off in 1989, with frenemies discussing the future of a possible new invention, a suit created

by Michael Douglas’ character Hank Pym that can shrink a human being to the size of a small insect.

Soon the conversation heats up, and Pym leaves the team.

Then it comes to present day and introduces

the main character, Scott Lang, a thief who has just been released from prison.

Lang hopes to get his life in order so that he can see his daughter whose police officer stepfather will stop at nothing to see Lang back behind bars.

Driven by a need for cash, Lang’s criminal friends convince him to pull off another robbery that eventually puts him side-by-side with Hank Pym, who believes Lang is the chosen one to keep

the suit out of the clutches of bad guy Darren Cross.

Ironic, right?

A nice amount of action mixed with family drama and a bunch of humor makes this a great movie.

For all who haven’t seen the movie yet, get up and go rent it now.

I gave you a taste of the movie, so now go finish the feast. This movie won’t disappoint.

“Ant-man” is a 9/10.

Rising temperatures raise environmental issues

Zach Davis Columnist

This winter has been rather peculiar. We have seen warmer weather and less snow than we would expect. While there are a couple factors that may play into these things, one of the main proponents is exactly what you would expect: climate change.

Skeptics may deny the existence of climate change, but the data that has been collected over the past century or so proves that climate change exists.

Last year NASA reported record-breaking global temperatures that were on average almost two degrees Fahrenheit above the established baseline. The last time this variation of temperature was recorded was at the end of the 1800s.

But the numbers stop there. January’s temperatures have been reported and they look grim. Some areas of the globe have seen spikes of temperature around 23 degrees Fahrenheit above what they should be.

These spikes in temperature seem to be contained to the far northern regions, but that doesn’t mean we aren’t being affected right here. The only difference is our temperatures aren’t being affected as drastically.

We are only seeing minor differences — a degree or two. But this degree or two can make a huge difference, especially between seasons.

Think about it. Ice begins forming at 32 degrees Fahrenheit. Maybe this degree or two was what bumped the temperatures up enough that we didn’t get much snow and instead got a pretty rainy winter.

Of course some of this variation has been because of the massive El Niño we are currently stuck in. But this only accounts for a portion of the temperature spikes, and NASA actually credits most of the issue to mankind’s effect on the climate, mostly through our greenhouse gas emissions.

And temperature is only one thing we are affecting.

Because of climate change, we are seeing weather patterns change and become more sporadic. The ice caps are melting and raising the sea levels. We will see more droughts and floods. The effects of climate change are extremely dangerous, and they aren’t going away anytime soon.

Climate change is caused by greenhouse gases, such as carbon and methane. In small amounts they aren’t very harmful to the environment. But human activities have greatly increased the amount of greenhouse gases that get released into the environment.

Greenhouse gases trap solar radiation and raise the average temperature of the planet. Greenhouse gases come from cars, farms, industrial plants and many other manmade sources.

So we are left with a hard situation we have to eventually face. Our behavior is destroying the planet and our home. We need to rethink our choices and lifestyles. One of the most common ways we as a species affect climate change is our use of cars. Car exhaust is filled with carbon, an effective greenhouse gas. If we lessen our use of cars we can cut down our carbon emissions some. For example, try carpooling with a friend or coworker.

Maybe walk or ride a bike on a nice day.

We also produce a lot of garbage, which ends up in landfills. As the trash decomposes, methane gas is released.

Methane is another greenhouse gas that has the same effect as carbon.

Unlike cars, it is more difficult to change how much garbage we produce. We need to start cutting back on our waste production regardless.

Try taking a reusable bag to the store and recycle when possible. Also try to use washable dishes instead of disposable ones.

A lot of small changes can help cut back waste production.

Climate change is happening rapidly, and it poses a huge threat to us through massive and unpredictable storms or melting ice caps.

We need to start focusing on what is causing the problem and figuring out how we can each take steps to reduce our impact on the climate.

Rotten to the core: Apple begins court battle with FBI Joe Lippard

Assistant Opinions Editor

In December, Syed Farook and his wife Tashfeen Malik shot and killed 14 people in San Bernardino, California.

The two died in a shootout with police, who then seized the couple’s electronic devices.

The problem is that Farook’s business phone, an iPhone 5c, was the only device they could recover, since the couple had smashed their personal phones and removed their laptop hard drives.

Farook’s iPhone is protected by a number password and has an additional security measure that deletes all data on the phone if the password is guessed incorrectly 10 times.

His iCloud account would be easier to access, since Apple has tools available to help access it.

The Federal Bureau of Investigations, however, says that iCloud information, which doesn’t include communications on secure applications separate from Apple’s default applications, is insufficient.

The FBI claims that they

need to access data actually on Farook’s phone.

Since Farook’s phone is password-protected, Apple is not able to help access information on the phone.

Individual phone passwords are stored on the phones themselves, not on Apple’s servers, so it makes the data on the phone only accessible by entering the password.

As a result of this, the FBI has obtained a court order for Apple to develop software that would allow them to unlock the iPhone.

Apple is refusing to comply with the court order, citing privacy concerns.

Allowing the FBI to force Apple to make this software sets a dangerous precedent.

If the FBI is allowed to force Apple to compromise their own security measures on the iPhone 5c, then what would stop them from ordering Apple to create the same software for an iPhone 6 or any other iPhone?

Everyone was outraged that the National Security Agency was tapping their phones a year ago.

So now, instead of collecting data secretly, the government is being much more upfront about their data collection.

This strategy appears to be working.

A USA Today poll showed that 51 percent of citizens support the FBI in collecting Farook’s data,

even if it put their privacy at risk.

I find this odd.

As a nation, we always seem reluctant to give up anything if it causes us any inconvenience, yet we are often perfectly okay with giving up our privacy for what the government tells us is a matter of our safety.

The Patriot Act is a great example of this.

The Patriot Act, a law passed in the post-9/11 fervor, contained a section that gave the NSA the ability to implement their spying program.

According to Gallup, Americans were asked about their attitudes about it in 2005.

Sixty-two percent of those surveyed said that they thought that the Patriot Act either was fine or that it didn’t go far enough.

That means 62 percent of Americans were totally okay with giving up their personal liberty in order to feel safer.

Never mind the fact that, according to the Washington Times, the NSA’s spying program didn’t even turn up any worthwhile information from anyone’s phone records.

In addition, everyone knows government leaks happen.

What if this software the FBI wants Apple to make fell into the hands of hackers?

If hackers got their hands

on this software, that would put millions of iPhone users at risk.

All it would take would be someone stealing an iPhone.

Then they could run the software to bypass the password and get to whatever information was stored on the phone.

In the end, I think that the FBI is more in the wrong than Apple is.

Asking Apple to violate their customers’ privacy by compromising the integrity of their own systems is asking a lot.

Apple has even offered help in many other ways, which the FBI has refused.

However, Apple is now defying a court order.

It could all end without a hitch, or Apple could face some serious repercussions, all depending on what the court decides.

I sincerely hope that the courts side with Apple since siding with the FBI sets a dangerous precedent that allows the government to request software made to invade people’s privacy on a whim.

We just got rid of the problematic section of the Patriot Act that allowed the government to spy on us, and now we’re going to allow the government to get more technology that could possibly be used to spy on us?

I’m sorry, but count me out.

‘Wreckless’ is how I roll, but awareness is key to driving safely

Jim Kreinhop Columnist

Driving is something with which I struggle to keep my patience while doing. To obtain my driver’s license, I had to take a written exam, which covered various driving laws that I reviewed just enough to pass. Now I’m on the road and in a hurry, and I don’t have time to follow all of the rules perfectly. So, I make up my own.

I do not believe, under any circumstances, that pedestrians ever have the right of way. I’m told that if I see someone in front of me about to cross the street while I’m driving I need to stop and let them go. This is nonsense. When you want to cross the street, you look both ways first. Didn’t your mother tell you that? If there are no cars, then you can cross the street. If you see me coming, then stay on the sidewalk. It’s much easier for a person to stop walking two miles per hour than it is for me to stop my car driving 30 miles per hour. And if someone is halfway across the street when I’m driving towards them, sure, I’ll slow down — I’m not a monster. But

run.

As if humans aren’t slowing me down enough with their bodies, they have to put speed limit signs everywhere dictating how I should drive. I’m sure these signs are there for drivers like me who like to maintain weight on the gas pedal, but speed limits are more like suggestions to me.

“We recommend you drive 30 mph through here.”

“Is that so? Well, I’ll take that into consideration.”

There’s no one else on this road with me, so there’s no reason I should be driving so slowly. That’s how I would rationalize it.

One might point out that I could hit a pedestrian try-

ing to cross the street, but that would be their fault for not looking both ways.

Speed limit signs have little influence on how I drive, but I do admit that stop signs must be obeyed — usually.

When other cars are present, I’ll stop at stop signs, but not for very long.

I’m not the kind of guy who likes to hang around in one place all the time. Some people will sit at a four-way stop for what seems to me like several minutes before they decide to move — not me. I’m in and out of there in a flash. I floor the gas pedal until I’ve approached the stop sign, then I’ll stomp on my brakes hard enough to throw the back seats through the wind-

What’s the rush? Well, there’s a traffic light about 100 yards ahead of me that just turned yellow, and I really think I can make it.

Traffic lights bedevil me.

I am attracted to its green light of hope like a lighthouse afar, and I drive faster and faster towards it.

Then it flashes a red light which kills me inside like a moth to flame. Beyond this act of trickery, it mocks me. It seems that every time a traffic light flashes red, it becomes green again the moment I’ve come to a complete stop. This is why I speed up when I see yellow.

I can’t take another moment of defeat.

Another rule I’ve never cared to follow is paying for parking spaces. Paying to park somewhere for a couple hours is ridiculous to me. What is so special about this particular spot that I’ve got to pay $2 for?

I’m parking between two white lines painted on top of asphalt. I’m not paying for it. I’m not giving someone money so that I may park my car on their land.

Possession of land doesn’t mean anything, really.

Someone says they “own” this land, but really that means that they have the power and the resources to run someone out or impose meaningless fees on them if they park in a pay

Clutch hits push Sycamores past Golden Eagles in Extras Ashley Dickerson

ISU Athletic Media Relations

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Sycamore baseball (3-0, 0-0 MVC) returned to the field this afternoon in a 12-inning 3-2 victory over the Oral Roberts Golden Eagles (0-2, 0-0 Summit League).

The Sycamores answered in late innings to tie the game at twos, then won in walk-off fashion.

Senior Kaden Moore singled in the bottom of the 12th inning to score sophomore Dane Tofteland and end the marathon.

The 68-degree, overcast Saturday afternoon proved to be perfect conditions for free baseball, as both Oral Roberts and Indiana State got the bats going late in the game to send it into extras.

Both Indiana State and Oral Roberts were held scoreless through seven innings, but the Golden Eagles finally broke through on back-to-back homeruns in the top of the eighth.

The Sycamores answered back plating one run each in the eighth and ninth innings.

Junior Justin Hill started on the mound for the Sycamores and remained solid through 5.2 innings.

Hill found an early groove, fanning two of the top four Golden Eagles in the first inning, while the defense worked behind him to field key outs.

Freshman Tyler Ward made his first appearance on the mound as he threw for 2.1 innings, and senior Dan Peterson closed things out for the Sycamore crew as he finished the game

with the win, striking out four Golden Eagles.

The Sycamores went down in order in both the first and second innings before threatening in the third.

Moore stroked a leadoff double, advanced to third on a fielder’s choice, but ran into a tag at home to keep the score at zeros.

Oral Roberts threatened in the top of the fourth inning with a leadoff double followed by a walk and a deep fly ball to put runners on second and third.

Hill pitched out of the jam to keep the inning scoreless.

Junior Cody Gardner got things going in the fourth with a leadoff single that hit off the hand of Oral Roberts pitcher Nick Wood.

Junior Hunter Owen got a free ticket to first, while senior Andy Young followed suit with his sixth walk of the weekend to load the bases.

The Sycamores still could not send any home.

The Sycamores then put runners in scoring position again in the fifth as junior Tony Rosselli reached on an error and sophomore Tyler Friis singled, but the Sycamores still could not plate any runs.

Striking first, the Golden Eagles put themselves on the board with back-toback home runs in the top of the eighth inning to put the Sycamores down 2-0.

The Sycamores would not roll over, as Young took his eighth walk of the weekend and junior Jeff Zahn followed with a double up the middle to break

CHARLESTON, Ill. – The Sycamore men edged out a win over Eastern Illinois, 119-116, at the EIU Friday Night Special, while the Sycamore women fell as the runner-up in an equally close race against the Panthers, 136-125.

ISU’s men’s squad was helped greatly by four event wins and a handful of other runner-up finishes.

The best news for the Sycamore men on Friday, though, was the return of a healthy Adarius Washington.

The senior All-American returned with a vengeance, too, using his extra rest to explode to a season-best 7.82 in finals of the 60-meter hurdles for the win.

Washington is still just outside the bubble for the national meet though, as he is currently in a tie for 24th nationally (top-16 in each event earn NCAA berths).

Right behind him, as always, was junior hurdler Marcus Neely, who stayed steady under the eight-second mark with a 7.99 finals time and a 7.96 in prelims.

Senior Terre Haute native Connor Curley was an event winner yet again in the men’s pole vault, continuing his excellent indoor campaign.

Curley — who leads the Valley this season by a wide margin at 5.30m (17-04.50) — stayed consistent with a winning height of 5.17m (16-11.50).

That winning height today would still lead the MVC this season by a halfinch.

Also maintaining the course was senior shot putter Jamar Brown. The former football tight end won his second shot put title of the season on Friday night with another solid toss of 17.27m (56-08.00).

Brown’s season and career-best — 17.87m (58-07.50) — ranks No. 2 in the MVC behind AllAmerican Josh Freeman of Southern Illinois and No. 1 in the nation among football players.

Also putting together a season-best was Ryan Chestnut, scoring in fifth place at 15.79m (51-09.75).

Sophomore high jumper Jamie Murtagh is also hitting his stride at just the right time before the conference meet, as tonight he won his fourth high-jump title this season at a solid clearance of 2.08m (609.75).

DeSean Prentice is also starting to peak, as he hit a season-best height for the second time in three weeks in second place at 2.03m (6-08.00).

The Sycamore women also had a handful of wins on their end tonight.

Senior Kaisha Martin had a very strong night in the women’s 60-meter dash, winning the event on a career-best time of 7.60 seconds that improves upon her place in ninth alltime at Indiana State.

Also making it to finals were Demetra Camble — who ran a season-best 7.66 in second place — and Arielle Borders, who finished fifth at 7.87.

Sophomore Jamie Newsome had the night off from her signature triple jump, but she went and had some fun in the long jump
