Holiday sales begin long before Black Friday

KRISTI ASHBY News Editor Holiday sales are starting earlier this year, many happening almost two weeks before the Black Friday shopping day even arrives.

The Indiana State University Barnes and Noble bookstore got a head start on these sales, having a 25-percent-off select sweatshirts and sweatpants sale that started two weeks prior to fall break.

This sale ends Nov. 23; when students will be gone for the holidays.

Lisa Christian, the general merchandise manager, is in charge of all sales happening at the bookstore.

“We have sales right before break,” Christian said. “We run sales all the time. These sales can help with students’ Christmas shopping.”

Many students, like Bre’Anna Holmes, senior human development and family studies major, are excited for these early sales and think it can make it easier to shop.

“I saw sales on Instagram about sales like these, and I think it’s a good idea,” Holmes said. “It could make Black Friday less crowded and have less commotion.”

According to USA Today, Black Friday shopping is getting earlier and earlier with each consecutive year for shoppers around the country.

Stores like Amazon and WalMart started their holiday deals almost a month early, beginning the day after Halloween.

This is to ensure that stores maximize their sales before winter weather potentially stymies

their profits.

The change causes some students to think this can break holiday traditions that are close to their heart.

Ashlee Hamilton, a freshman marketing and accounting major, said she goes Black Friday shopping and she thinks this is a good idea for older people or people who don’t want to be out late.

“I find Black Friday interesting,” Hamilton said. “[It] can be good, but it can take away from tradition.”

Students agree with this idea, and know this can help others

Brandon Hoskins, a senior human development and family studies major, said he likes Black Friday shopping but he knows not everyone has that opportunity.

“When you do it the week or two before, it gives people the time to buy things for their family because they might not have the money to buy it all one night like Black Friday,” Hoskins said.

“This also gives students the time to shop before fall break so they can spend time with their family.”

New moped law scoots through Indiana legislature

STEVE WININGER Reporter

A new moped law will go into effect Jan. 1. The law could change what is needed for a moped driver to obtain a parking pass in the future.

The Indiana law will require moped owners to register and plate their mopeds through the Bureau of Motor Vehicles [BMV]. Currently, mopeds are not required to have license plates or to be registered with the state.

In addition to the moped licensing requirements, moped operators must have an endorsement on their driver’s license or state-issued ID for legal operation of a moped on Indiana roadways.

Assistant director of parking Lori Elkins said Public Safety is still in the process of gathering information about the law and was not able to give any specifics concerning what changes there could be in obtaining parking permits for mopeds.

Elkins said that if mopeds are required to be plated, the process for obtaining a parking permit will possibly be the same as obtaining a permit for any registered vehicle.

“Even with a new law, it will most like-

likely have to show moped registration to parking services in order to obtain a permit.

Once this law comes into effect, mopeds will be treated the same as motorcycles where parking is concerned. Like a motorcycle, they must have a permit, which must be displayed on the front left fork.

Mopeds are not allowed to be parked anywhere other than motorcycle or regular parking spots.

Senior history major Kenneth Atkinson said he learned the hard way about parking a moped where it should not be.

He said he was ticketed once for parking his moped at a bike rack on campus.

“We used to be able to park anywhere on campus a few years ago, but that changed when the campus changed to all permit parking,” Atkinson said.

He said he has to get the endorsement on his ID and register his moped with the BMV before January.

“I had to show proof of ownership, Starting Jan. 1 a new Indiana law will begin to require moped drivers to register and have an ID with a legal address, pay $25, plate their mopeds through the Bureau of Motor Vehicles (Photo by Ayden Jent). and they inspected it to insure all the ly not affect any moped currently with a To obtain a parking permit, a student lights worked and it was safe to operate,” permit until fall when most students ac- must show proof of registration.

ISU Police provides drills to prepare for emergency situations MAKYLA THOMPSON Reporter Every year Indiana State University practices drills to prepare for emergency situations, and on Thursday students and staff participated in a shelter-inplace drill in Holmstedt Hall.

Joseph Newport, the Indiana State chief of police, was in charge of the drill.

“A shelter-in-place drill is a drill where we simulate a situation where there may be a threat to the campus and we want people to stay put,” Newport said.

Those who participated were instructed to make sure that the doors were locked, that the lights were turned out and that no one in the hallway could see them.

“The drill went fine; our emergency notification system worked well and we found out that there were a couple of is-

These drills are practiced twice a year.

Dajia Page, a freshman business major, was in Holmstedt Hall when the drill took place.

“During the drill I didn’t really understand what was going on, and wasn’t sure what it was for,” Page said. “We weren’t really prepared but we did lock the doors.”

She also believes that there should be some improvement in the way the drills are set up.

“I think it can be improved by making the drill seem more realistic, so people can truly know what to do and how to act,” Page said.

The second drill of the year is expected to happen in the Spring semester.

Alumnus urges Indiana State students to stand up against racism Libby Roerig

ISU Communications and Marketing For the next generation to make a difference in race relations, Millennials must know their history — and vote.

That was the message from Indiana State University alumnus John Leeke, a 1961 graduate, who spoke to students in the Foundations of African and AfricanAmerican Studies classes on Nov. 7.

Leeke, an entrepreneur who spent much of his career helping corporate Americans — including companies such as American Express, Kodak and Exxon — become more diverse and fight bigotry, was in town for the biennial reunion of The Incorporated Gathering, an alumni group of African-Americans who graduated in 1975 and earlier.

He started his talk by asking how many students voted in the midterm election earlier that week; a few raised their hands.

“You not voting may have ended up [electing] some people who really should not be in office, and they have the potential to do some things that may not be in your self-interest,” he said. “Just take that and let that resonate in you.”

Leeke’s tone was at times intentionally harsh; he said he was trying to convey the opportunity students have to make a positive change in the world.

“When you don’t know the history — your history or the true history of the United States, let alone the rest of the world...you are susceptible to all the lies [and] half-truths,” Leeke said.

Some of our country’s ignorance is the result of textbooks that sugarcoat history, avoiding or glossing over some of the worst time periods and events.

“We just don’t know. It’s not necessarily our fault for not knowing a whole segment of our history,” he said.

Leeke suggested several titles for the students to pursue: “Lies My Teacher Told Me” by James Loewen, “Black History: Lost, Stolen or Strayed” by Bill Cosby and “The New Jim Crow” by Michelle Alexander.

Throughout history, Leeke said, there are patterns of the country taking two proverbial steps forward and one backwards.

The abolishment of slavery was a definite improvement, he said, as was some of the progress made by Reconstruction. The Jim Crow era that followed, however, was a major setback, he said.

The Civil Rights acts opened the door to equal employment practices and desegregation, and affirmative action helped deserving minorities have an equal chance with their white peers. “[Affirmative action] opened the door. I think I was a recipient of some of that kind of action, because I was able, prepared and ready to go — to get into spots I wouldn’t have been able to prior,” Leeke said.

In the modern era, however, we’ve taken a step back with the “War on Drugs,” an initiative started by former President Ronald Reagan.

“The prison industry is one of the fastest growing industries over the past 30 years,” Leeke said. “They are warehousing people ... based on race. That doesn’t mean there aren’t white people who get put in prison, but the number of black and Hispanic people who get put in prison generally runs five or eight or nine to one.”

Once convicted of a felony, these

nonviolent offenders face similar challenges as during the time of slavery, he said.

“Yeah, you go do your time, but when you get out and go to get a job, the first thing they ask you on the job application is, ‘Have you ever been convicted of a felony?’ If you tell the truth, you get told, ‘Bye.’ If you lie, eventually they’re going to find out,” Leeke said. “You cannot avail yourself of that. So, I ask you, is that any different than the days of slavery? The pattern continues to repeat itself, even though we appear to be making progress.”

To make significant progress, Americans must have real conversations with each other about race, Leeke said.

“Black people need to talk about race with black people. White people need to talk about race with white people.

Hispanics need to talk about race with Hispanics,” he said. “And when we have opportunities, we need to have conversations across racial lines.”

This generation of young people is the one to make the difference, he said several times.

“You have the opportunity — because I don’t think you carry anywhere near the depths of the baggage and attitude as the older generations — to set a different course, if you’re willing to do that,” Leeke said.

“Prejudice is taught. When we come into this world ... we don’t know anything about race bias, sexism, racism stuff.

But they say by the time we are four or five years old, those ideals have been ingrained in us.”

Two white students, in a class that appeared to be a split racially 50-50, said they were offended to be classified based

on their race alone, that they weren’t prejudiced against minorities.

Leeke reminded the group that we’re all both individuals and part of a group. While “white privilege” exists — institutionally, whites, especially males, have an advantage, whether they ask for it or not — individuals within that majority group do face hardships, similar to how individuals within a minority group can be very different from the whole.

“There are more poor white folks in this country than there are poor black people.

Hear that, folks. You don’t hear about the conditions of white folks in Appalachia.

You don’t hear about poor white folks in parts of Chicago. You don’t hear about poor white folks in rural America, but they’re there,” he said. “There are more white folks getting public assistance than black folks, but who gets public assistance in terms of what our media says? It’s black folks and Hispanic folks.”

The class was asked how many of the minority students had been told they were “articulate” or teased by a peer for “talking white.” Many raised their hands.

“We have all been socialized to believe white is superior and black is inferior.

That is a fundamental, basic concept,” Leeke said. “Our belief is that white people are smart. If a black person begins to speak like they are smart, then it’s ‘Oh, you act like .... You trying to be ....’ Some of you black folks are guilty of laying that on your fellow black colleagues. It ain’t a joke. You are helping to reinforce that negative concept.”

Social media enables practices that could lead to cheating

A direct message wouldn’t hurt, right?

After all, it’s just a message, and it’s not like you’re going on a date or kissing her because, well, that’s cheating.

You don’t cheat, do you?

Social media has given us great potential to excel at a lot of things, but it also Columnist has the potential to cause problems — especially in relationships.

Think about how your friend might have run into issues because his girlfriend saw that his top Snapchat friends were all women. Or she found out that he direct-messaged a woman through Twitter.

I believe that social media has made trust within our relationships a rare trait due to the fact that they make it easier to cheat.

Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and Snapchat are only a few examples, but all offer the option to talk exclusively with someone else.

I’m not implying that it’s a terrible feature and if you use it, you’re

automatically cheating; I’m intending to point out that the capability to cheat has increased, which can be costly in a moment of temptation.

This is where you need to acknowledge your initial thought of “Eh, maybe I shouldn’t reply like that.”

Every guy should know when a conversation goes in the wrong direction.

You know when a conversation is flirtatious or not in person, so you can’t act ignorant by claiming it’s just a message and not a big deal. It is if you’re constantly messaging her that ambiguous smirk emoji.

If you feel the need to flirt with another woman in the first place, then you should look at what might be going on in your current relationship.

There’s no problem in questioning your relationship, but skipping that step and flirting with other women through social media is cowardly.

If you want to end the relationship and flirt with whomever, then that’s fine, but don’t drag your girlfriend along with you just because you can’t man up and break off a relationship.

I’m sure she would prefer to be free rather than with a guy who shows the women on his phone more attention.

As a young man in college, you shouldn’t need to cheat in the first place.

First off, it’s a slippery slope. If you keep claiming that flirtatious, exclusive conversation doesn’t mean anything and continue to do it, the likelihood that it will escalate into something else increases.

You can’t be committed to someone who can’t trust you and, without trust, you’ll just end up alone.

Second, cheating could cause an identity dilemma.

I’m not saying to the degree where you

take a long, somber walk and discover a puddle with your reflection staring back at you asking, “Who am I?” Not that kind of identity crisis.

What I mean is that you have to manage different things like persona, mood, information shared, notifications, what she likes or doesn’t like and I could go on.

Why would you want to manage all of that information with one woman when you already have enough stuff to remember with your girlfriend?

To put it simply, cheating will complicate your life and will eventually get annoying.

I don’t know if it’s because I’m lazy, but I’d rather be relaxed in a relationship instead of trying to “keep my options open” as most guys have heard.

It’s just going to get annoying and exhausting eventually, because you will have this feeling that your girlfriend might find out.

This is the only time I would encourage laziness, but be lazy and don’t put yourself through the futile effort of trying to flirt with other women through social media when you already have a girlfriend.

Group punishment of Greeks not the answer On Friday, Nov. 7, a West Virginia University freshman student died from alcohol poisoning.

He was found unconscious and not breathing inside of Kappa Sigma’s Fraternity house on Wednesday, Nov. 5, around midnight dura party.

Columnist ingNolan Michael Burch, 18, from Williamsville, New York, was sent to Ruby Memorial Hospital in critical condition, in intensive care, where he later died.

E. Gordon Gee, the West Virginia University President, made a statement on the incident saying, “Words cannot describe the heartache we, as a West Virginia University family, feel at the loss of one of our own — Nolan Michael Burch — who passed away today.”

The Morgantown Police Department stated that on that Wednesday they were

Jakob Howey

called to the Kappa Sigma house for a medical emergency around midnight.

They found someone performing CPR on an unconscious Burch. The police added that he was not breathing and had no pulse.

As soon as the university heard about the incident, there was a joint statement set up to discuss the issue, especially because the incident involved Greek life.

University officials said, with the college’s Inter-fraternity and PanHellenic councils, that all Greek organizations are suspended from having any events or activities. The University assumed that because of the incident, all Greek organizations should be suspended.

I do not believe this is the right thing for the university to do, because it was only one fraternity that was hosting the party, and then Burch had been unconscious from drinking too much alcohol.

However, a week before the incident at Kappa Sigma, another fraternity, Sigma Chi, had a street fight that was eventually solved by the campus police.

Perhaps the university saw these two

incidents as a bad influence for Greek life in general and decided to suspend all Greek organizations from hosting any events or doing any activities. This is a disgrace to Greek life and should not be supported.

Of course, there are stereotypes for college and fraternity and sorority life, but the fact is that not all of these rumors are actually true, because not all fraternities or sororities are all about partying. Many fraternities and sororities are meant to serve a purpose and to put a good influence for Greek life on college campuses.

Although there have been deaths of younger people in fraternities and sororities on college campuses nationwide — there have been less than 10 people per year — this does not mean that Greek life should be suspended for long periods of time across a college campus.

This should not be encouraged, nor should it leave an impression on campuses nationwide to leave yet another stereotype for Greek organizations.

Be that as it may, I believe that it is

quite repulsive that younger members of fraternities or sororities die because of some party or get-together regarding the Greek organization.

What I propose to all Greek life and college students in general as well is if your Greek organization decides to throw a party, activity or event involving drinking, I encourage everyone to look out for their neighbor, friend and anyone at a party. I suggest this because this will make parties more exciting yet more controlled and safe.

So next time you even go to a party, look out for people, even ones you don’t know and those you are close to, and make sure they do not exceed their limit.

This will ensure that everyone cares for one another as a community, and people will still be able to have a good time like they intend to, and things will turn out safer and better than the typical after-party results.

Focus of college should be gaining knowledge Often when I talk to my friends from high school who didn’t continue with college, I get asked why I’m going.

For a while I didn’t know how to answer their questions other than with the generic response “to get a good job.” But is that the only I am attending Columnist reason college?

I thought more and more about it, and it wasn’t easy. That’s pretty much all that you hear when people tell you why you should go to school. I had to find another explanation. So I did.

Through high school, we are told time and time again that college is important.

We’re told that we need to go to college if we’re going to make a living. We’re told constantly that people who don’t go

Zachery Davis

to college aren’t going to succeed. Even when we reach the college level these comments are made constantly. Their negative reinforcement and scare tactics are their way of keeping everyone in school, but there is a better way to keep students in school.

Why don’t we try positive reinforcement? If you show students the benefits of a good college education, it can increase the chance that they will make this crucial life choice smartly.

This isn’t to say that students shouldn’t know the consequences of not going to school, but it is obvious schools need to focus less on what will happen if they don’t and more on what will happen if they do.

There is so much that can be gained from having a good education other than just a well-paying job. You can learn new things.

As simple and obvious as that might be, there is absolutely no way to under-

emphasize the importance of learning new things. The more we know the more we can apply, and anything can be used to help.

For example, we joke about political science degrees, but really these classes are extremely helpful to be able to communicate effectively and solve problems.

Those with degrees in the arts learn how to think fast and use their surroundings efficiently.

Of course, there is a greater sense of job security. While schools emphasize that degrees help you get jobs, they don’t explain that it can help you keep a job. In some areas of study there are opportunities to become specialized.

When a company is forced to cut jobs, they look for who offers them the most.

If one of their employees is extremely specialized in something they need, then they will keep that person; it’s just a smart move to make.

Of course there is a sentimental side:

school gives you a chance to learn what you love.

Yes, college is expensive and yes, it’s a lot of work. It takes a lot of time and effort, and sometimes it’s harder than other options.

But if you are doing what you love, isn’t it worth the effort? The skills you learn in school will give you access to the skills and materials that you need to enjoy yourself.

It is important to go to school, not only because it is one of the few paths that guarantees a good, well-paying and secure job, but because it has a lot more to offer.

What it offers is different for everyone.

It’s important we learn the benefits of going to school.

There are tons of them — many not even mentioned here, and they will most likely be different for everyone. But don’t forget why you chose to go in the first place.

Sycamores take to the seas for hands-on learning Libby Roerig

ISU Communications and Marketing Three Indiana State University students — one of whom is a first-semester freshman — jetted to San Diego recently to get an up-close look at oceanographic research and specimen collection from some of the world’s experts.

Underclassmen Matt Bly and Chris Lane joined graduate student Ryan Venturelli for a research cruise and more at Scripps Institution of Oceanography.

“I’ve always wanted to go out to the West Coast,” said Lane, a junior from Scottsburg who transferred to Indiana State this semester. “Being an environmental science major, the West Coast has a lot of stuff — redwood trees, nice parks and stuff out there. I don’t get to travel that much. It was a great opportunity. I’m glad I got to go.”

It was also Lane’s first airplane trip. “At first, it was a little scary. On the way back, I was a pro,” he said.

Tony Rathburn, professor of geology at Indiana State, has long-standing ties with Scripps and made all the arrangements for his students.

“Everyone made us feel right at home.

That’s the coolest thing about Scripps.

It’s one of the best oceanographic institutions in the world, and they’re still so welcoming to students from Indiana who want to learn more about the ocean,” Venturelli said.

It was the students at Scripps, however, who were impressed by the opportunities afforded to the Indiana State students.

“I was talking to the graduate students on the cruise, and they were all surprised that undergrads — especially a freshman — got to go [on the trip]. I just got lucky, I guess,” Bly said. “It was an awesome opportunity.”

Lane received a similar reaction from Scripps’ scholars: “We were with a bunch of graduate students on the cruise. They kept telling us, ‘You guys are undergrads?

And you get to do this? You’re so lucky.’ It was really awesome.”

The students arrived mid-morning Friday, Oct. 31 and made their way to the Birch Aquarium, where they toured “awesome” displays of marine ecosystems.

“We got there just in time for them to feed the inhabitants of the touch pools,” Venturelli said. “They were actually feeding [the animals] in the tide pools. We got to see all the things that were hiding — the crabs and the lobsters.”

Saturday, they spent the day on the cruise, learning how to deploy a CTD — an instrument measuring conductivity, temperature and depth, as well as salinity and oxygen levels — and witnessed a plankton tow and then got to examine the creatures gathered.

The CTD instrument was especially meaningful for Venturelli.

“I can understand what all those profiles mean when I read a paper. It makes a lot more sense when I can see it happen,” she said.

They also saw how a multi-core instrument extracts sediments without disrupting the surface of the sample and looked at the sediments and organisms living in the samples.

“This [state-of-the-art instrument] quietly takes samples,” Venturelli said.

“You can get a really good picture of what’s happening right at the top of the sediment, where sediment and bottom water meet, as well as what’s going on in the subsurface.”

An otter trawl — a favorite of many biologists — picked up creatures living near the bottom of the ocean, such as California king crab, flat fish and sea urchins, for the students to survey.

“It was a really great experience to learn from professors at Scripps, because they have been doing these student cruises — students from Indiana don’t usually get those experiences,” Venturelli said. “So, it’s really cool to have the opportunity to go to sea, but also to have the opportunity to go out and learn from professors who aren’t at your institution. That gives students a whole new perspective.”

On Sunday, the guys went kayaking and snorkeling in the marine kelp forest while Venturelli caught up on some of her grad school reading.

“I just hung out on the beach and read papers and worked on some projects that I’m doing for my classes,” Venturelli said.

“It was really nice to work on ocean research near the ocean.”

Three ISU students ventured out to sea to get an up-close look at oceanographic research and specimen collection from experts (Photo by ISU Communications and Marketing).

On Monday, Lane and Bly toured Scripps’ sediment core and microfossil collection, while Venturelli met with a professor she’s hoping to work with for her doctorate.

“I have to say all of it [was my favorite part], but I really enjoyed ... the core facility,” Lane said.

Since the trip, Lane is now considering graduate school, but he’s not sure what he’d like to do — maybe work on a research boat or teach.

“Before [the trip], I was slacking off on my school work, kind of,” Lane said.

“I wasn’t very sure about going to graduate school; I was scared of the idea. It is a lot of work, but if you like what you do and the research you’re doing, it’s worth it. That’s what they said. It’s a lot of work, but it’s fun, too.”

The world is definitely his oyster.

“We were on the boat for eight hours, so all the graduate students [from Scripps] were telling us stuff — where they’re from, what they’re researching. It really opened my eyes,” Lane said. “I’m really thankful that Indiana State and the Earth science program gave me this op-

portunity in my first semester at Indiana State.”

Bly, who is just finishing the first semester of his college career, said he already has an edge on his classmates because of the trip.

“I feel like I have a head start, because I’m getting really interested in what we’re doing,” Bly said. “I know what kind of classes I want to take, and I know... I want to be as smart as Ryan, because all the grad students in [Rathburn’s] lab have a really strong passion [for their research].”

Venturelli had been to Scripps before and hopes to teach at a university some day. She enjoyed seeing an awakening in her fellow Sycamores.

“For me, one of the best things about the trip was being able to see that moment of realization in Matt and Chris — that they realized they are doing something really cool with their lives,” she said. “It’s really an awesome opportunity for undergrads to take this trip, because it not only opens their eyes to another whole world of science and field work, but it also helps them prioritize things.”

Banquet to raise money for medical clinic supplies ADLER INGALSBE Reporter The Timmy Global Health Winter Banquet will take place on Wednesday, Nov. 19, beginning at 6:30 p.m. in the Magna Carta Room in Federal Hall.

Lacey Brinegar, current fundraising chair of Indiana State University’s chapter of Timmy Global Health executive board, said the event is being hosted for the second year and will have a lot of things going on throughout the night.

“The Winter Banquet … will feature a dinner catered by Sodexo, a silent auction and guest speakers. We have a speaker coming from Timmy headquarters to explain about the mission of Timmy and what we are presently working to do,” Brinegar said. “The ISU chapter also has a medical brigade trip planned to our partner clinic in Quito, Ecuador in January to serve the citizens in need. This is our second year hosting this event.”

Throughout this semester, the organization collected donations to be auc-

tioned off.

“We have spent the better part of the semester garnering donations from willing businesses to be auctioned at the banquet,” Brinegar said.

Lauren Rollings, a member of Indiana State University’s chapter of Timmy Global Health executive board, said that the profits they make from the events go towards many medical expenses.

“All of the fundraising and proceeds we do throughout the year as well as during the banquet go to medical supplies and other methods of expanding healthcare access and benefit our partner clinic,” Rollings said.

Indiana State is one of many colleges affiliated with Timmy Global.

“We are one of many college chapters across the U.S. that is affiliated with Timmy Global Health, which is based out of Indianapolis. This event was an integral source of the donations we were able to provide our partner clinic with last year,” Brinegar said.

“All of the members we have spent the

Although the banquet is a great fundraising event, it is also a great way to advocate for the goals Timmy Global Health works to achieve. The banquet allows us to get our name out there, which will enable us to hopefully have a greater impact,” Brinegar said.

Students, faculty and the Terre Haute community members are welcome to attend the banquet.

The price for students and faculty is $25, and for the public the price is $30.

“Last year, the banquet was our largest fundraiser. We are hoping to raise even more money for Tierra Nueva this year,” Brinegar said.

College football contenders clash in Week 13

Jeremy Beaver Reporter

bye week. However, two weeks ago, the Cougars coincidentally pulled out a 39-32 win against the Oregon State Beavers. Cougars quarterback Luke Falk completed 44 of his 61 passes for a total of 471 passing yards and five touchdowns. Receivers Vince Mayle, Tyler Baker, Robert Lewis, Isiah Myers and Dom Williams all had a catch for a touchdown. The Cougars are obviously a pass-heavy team and if there is any way for the Sun Devils to stop them, they will need to contain the Cougars’ pass game.

Prediction: Washington State Cougars 42, Arizona State Sun Devils 45

This past weekend was probably one of the wildest weeks this season as we experienced teams getting kicked out of National Championship contention, the Top 25 and even saw teams under a .500 winning percentage pull upsets against ranked teams. This just goes to show that any matchup could be on this page.

No. 15 Arizona Wildcats at. No. 20 Utah Utes The Wildcats are coming off of a slick 27-26 win to the Washington Huskies on a game-winning 47-yard field goal by kicker Kasey Showran. Arizona quarterback Anu Solomon had a terrible day, only throwing for 242 yards and two interceptions. Thankfully, the Wildcats’ run game was strong that day. Led by running back Nick Wilson who had 30 carries for 104 yards and two touchdowns, the running game accommodated to 18 of Arizona’s 27 points. Arizona also did poorly on converting third downs, only converting three of their 15 third down attempts.

The Utes also slipped by a close one this past weekend, beating the Stanford Cardinal 14-20 on a last second threeyard pass to receiver Kenneth Scott.

Utes quarterback Travis Wilson went 21 for 28 in completions, throwing for 177 yards and two touchdowns. Wilson also scored the only rushing touchdown for the Utes. Receivers Kenneth Scott caught four receptions for 71 yards and one touchdown while receiver Kaelin Clay caught two passes for 31 yards and one touchdown.

Prediction: Arizona Wildcats 24, Utah Utes 27 Louisville Cardinals at Notre Dame Fighting Irish Both the Cardinals and the Fighting Irish are standing with a 7-3 record hoping to be able to push themselves back into the Top 25. The Cardinals are coming off of a 38-19 win against the Boston College Eagles. Quarterback

Will Gardner played most of the game, throwing 13 passes for 188 yards.

However, the Cardinals ran the wildcat a couple of times, having running back Reggie Bonnafon also led the rushing category with four passes for 69 yards and two touchdowns. Bonnafon had 13 carries for 76 yards and a touchdown. Running back Brandon Radcliff had 11 carries for 50 yards and two touchdowns. Receivers DeVonte Parker and Eli Rogersboth had a receiving touchdown. Receiver William Fuller had nine receptions for 159 yards and all receiving three touchdowns.

The Irish are coming off of a horrible overtime loss to Northwestern this past week. Irish quarterback Everett Golson completed 21 of his 40 passes for a total of 287 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. Running back Tarean Folston had 20 carries for 106 yards and one touchdown.

The Fighting Irish just cannot seem to put it together when it comes to teams they should be beating. In early October, the Irish beat unranked Stanford on a last-second field goal.

The following week, they squeaked by unranked North Carolina by seven points. Just this past week, they got knocked out of the Top 25 by a huge

upset loss to unranked Northwestern in overtime. It’s no question that the Irish have the team to be contending for the National Championship, but the team just cannot put it together.

Prediction: Louisville Cardinals 34, Notre Dame Fighting Irish 38 Washington State Cougars at No. 13 Arizona State Sun Devils The Sun Devils’ chance for a National Championship was cut off by an upset loss this past week to the Oregon State Beavers, 35-27. Arizona State was on a huge winning streak and was on the verge of entering the Top 4 to become eligible to be in contention for the National Championship after upsetting the Notre Dame Fighting Irish two weeks ago. However, with a loss to the Beavers, Arizona State fell down in the rankings, and with little time left, there seems to be little to no hope left for the Sun Devils.

Sun Devils quarterback Taylor Kelly went 22 for 44 in competitions, throwing for 264 yards, two touchdowns and two costly interceptions. Receivers D.J. Foster and Kody Kohl both had a reception touchdown. The Sun Devils left the game without a single rushing touchdown.

The Cardinals are coming off of a

Penn State Nittany Lions at Illinois Fighting Illini What a week it has been for Penn State fans. This past month, the NCAA lifted the post-season sanctions and recruiting sanctions given to Penn State two years ago due to the Sandusky trials. This gave the Nittany Lions full eligibility to play in the post-season in the 2014-2015 season.

Just this past week, Penn State picked up their sixth win at Beaver Stadium against the Temple Owls giving Penn State eligibility to play in a post-season bowl game. With that being said, the Nittany Lions will have more energy and fuel than ever heading into their game this weekend against the Illini. Nittany Lions quarterback Christian Hackenberg completed 12 of his 26 passes and threw for 112 yards and two interceptions.

Running backs Akeel Lynch and Bill Belton rushed for a combined total of 222 yards and two touchdowns.

The Fighting Illini are coming off of a 30-14 loss to Big Ten rival the Iowa Hawkeyes. Illini quarterback Wes Lunt completed only 14 of his 25 passes and threw for 102 yards and one touchdown.

Running back Reilly O’Toole also threw for a touchdown while running the wildcat. Receiver Mike Dudek led the receiving category with six total receptions for a total of 80 yards and caught both touchdowns.

Prediction: Penn State Nittany Lions 17, Illinois Fighting Illini 14

Sewall named National Defensive Player of the Week

Ace Hunt

ISU Athletic Media Relations Indiana State junior defensive back Mark Sewall has been named the National Defensive Player of the Week by two different news outlets following his heroics in the overtime road victory against Youngstown State. Additionally, the Sycamores moved back into the Top 20 in both national polls.

Sewall’s honors came one day after he picked up the Missouri Valley Football Conference Defensive Player of the Week award. He was named National Defensive Player of the Week by both the Sports Network and the College Sporting News. Sewall provided the big play the Sycamores needed to earn the win over the Penguins. Sewall posted 12 tackles, two fumble recoveries, two pass breakups and one quarterback hurry but it was his overtime interception, which propelled the team to victory.

Tied at 24, on Youngstown State’s first offensive play in overtime, Sewall came off the edge and tipped the Penguins’ pass

attempt then leapt several yards in the air to haul in the interception. With YSU in the red zone on their first offensive possession of the game, Sewall picked up a fumble to stop that drive. He also recovered a fumble early in the second quarter to set Indiana State up at the YSU 31.

His overtime interception set the stage for Eric Heidorn’s game-winning 28-yard field goal in overtime for the 27-24 victory.

The win at Youngstown State pushed the Sycamores up to No. 18 in both national polls. In the Sports Network FCS Top 25, the Sycamores jumped five spots while they surged ahead seven places in the FCS Coaches Poll.

According to the Sports Network media poll, North Dakota State is No. 3 while Illinois State is No. 8 and Northern Iowa is No. 11. South Dakota State checks in at No. 16, Indiana State is No. 18 and Youngstown State is No. 20.

Indiana State returns to action for the regular season home finale on Nov. 22 when they travel to Western Illinois.

Kickoff is set for 2 p.m. and will be televised live on ESPN3.

College basketball underway with exciting slate of games Zach Rainey Reporter UC Irvine vs. Arizona UC Irvine comes into this game with a 2-0 record, averaging 77 points per game and giving up only 43 points per game. UC Irvine is in the little known conference, The Big West, and based on what Irvine has been doing, I wouldn’t be surprised if they got a bid to the tournament from winning the Big West.

I think Arizona is overrated and they shouldn’t have the number two ranking.

If they still had Aaron Gordon and Nick Johnson from last year, I could see why they have that ranking, but those two have since moved on to the NBA. I think Arizona is still one of the best teams in the Pac-12, but I don’t think they’re the second best team in the country. Analyzing the Pac-12 over the past few years, I’ve learned anything can happen. Two years ago in the tournament, Pac-12 teams owned three No. 12 seeds and Big 12 teams some fiveseeds. I didn’t think highly of the Pac-12, but they ended up pulling off the upsets.

That is when I gained respect for the Pac12 as a basketball conference.

Green Bay vs. Wisconsin Green Bay comes from another little known league: The Horizon League.

Green Bay comes into this game having won the only game they’ve played. Guard Keifer Sykes is arguably one of the best players in the conference. He averaged

game and Jordan Mathews could be a nice duo for the Golden Bears this season. This season will surely bring some top ranked teams that will fall out of the top 25 and some teams that were overlooked and will break into the top 25. I think the Golden Bears could be one of those teams to sneak into the top 25 in the middle of the year.

Indiana State University basketball has begun, along with many other programs around the country (Photo by ISU Communications and Marketing).

20 points per game last year and if Green Bay plans to make a run at their conference championship and a bid into the tournament, they will need a similar effort from Sykes this year.

Wisconsin came up just short against Kentucky for a spot in the National Championship against UCONN. It seems like Wisconsin has the same team every year — players that aren’t necessarily going to throw down the hammer, but on any given night can shoot the lights out of the gym with their three-point specialists.

The Big 10 is arguably the best conference in college basketball and if Wisconsin can play the basketball they’re known for and play at the level we’ve seen, they could be making a trip back to the Final Four.

Newbolt named MVC Newcomer of the Week

Indiana State junior guard Alexis Newbolt has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Newcomer of the Week, announced by the league on Monday.

Newbolt, a junior college AllAmerican from Moberly Area Community College, translated her game to Division I with an impressive opening weekend for the Sycamores. She combined for 24 points, four assists and three rebounds in two wins to help Indiana State open the 2014-15 season.

All of her buckets came from behind the arc, as she went 8-for-

16 on the weekend in action coming off the bench.

Against St. Louis, the Cincinnati, Ohio native drained three triples for nine points and two assists in the 63-60 win. She repeated her performance from beyond the arc on Sunday in a 66-51 win over Butler when she led the team with 15 points on five treys. She also contributed two boards and two assists.

Indiana State continues playing on Saturday when it welcomes Stetson to Hulman Center. Tipoff is set for 2:30 p.m.

Syracuse vs. California As long as Jim Boeheim is the coach at Syracuse, they will be in the running for a conference championship with National Championship aspirations.

Syracuse returns Rakeem Christmas who is averaging 18 points and 12.5 rebounds per game this season. The supporting cast will be a big factor with the Orange this season. Freshman Chris McCullough and sophomore B.J. Johnson are going to make the difference. If McCullough and Johnson can stay on the track they are on, we’re looking at a Syracuse team that could be top ten in the country.

California is another Pac-12 team that shocked me a few years ago. Junior Tyrone Wallace is averaging 20 points per

Marshall vs. Louisville Marshall plays in Conference USA who, since Memphis left, hasn’t been a very competitive conference.

Marshall might be the best of a bad situation in the conference and could sneak into the tournament being in one of those “play to get in” games they have before the tournament actually tips off.

Although Old Dominion always manages to sneak the top off the conference, they could be playing Marshall for a tournament berth.

By absolutely no means am I a Louisville fan, but I think they have a great squad this year. While they lost dynamic guard Russ Smith and knock-down shooter Luke Hancock, the off-season development of Montrezl Harrell has been nothing short of astounding. Last season he was incredibly raw. This year he has shown that he knows how to get after rebounds, run the floor, score inside and step out to hit the three. Montrezl Harrell could be a player-of-the-year candidate and will surely be the anchor of this Cardinals squad this season.
