Career Center provides professional photographs

ANDREW CHRISTMAN Reporter Students were able to get free professional pictures taken on Monday and Tuesday this week at the Career Center.

Executive Director of the Career Center Darby Scism said this is the second time that students have been able to take advantage of this service.

“A lot of students are communicating through social media,” Scism said. “We feel it’s necessary for students to be able to have professional pictures for their careers, such as for their LinkedIn profile.”

LinkedIn is like a professional Facebook, Scism said.

“Students usually have to go to a studio to get professional pictures done, which takes time to schedule and is usually costly,” Scism said. “It’s very important to look professional and we feel this is a nice service to provide.”

Scism also added that students were regularly coming in during the hours the pictures were being taken on Monday and Tuesday.

“My guess is that we had about 200 students stop by to get their pictures taken,” Scism said.

Statesman Towers to be demolished

STEVE WININGER Reporter

The landscape at Indiana State University will soon be changing.

The fate of the Statesman Towers has been decided, and sometime within the coming year, they are to be demolished.

It is difficult not to recognize the Statesman Towers. They are located on the East side of campus between Eighth and Ninth streets and surrounded by parking lots. They are also located near the trike facility.

What one will notice as they walk or drive by these towers is that there is no activity within the towers.

There have been rumors floating around campus as to the exact fate of the towers.

Vice President of Business Affairs Diann McKee said, “The decision has been made to demolish the towers. There had been some other proposals ISU looked at concerning the towers, but they have decided to tear the towers down.”

McKee could not give an exact timeline for the demolition of the towers, but did say that within the year they would be demolished.

“There are state complicity issues that they are still working on,” McKee said.

“Additionally, there is environmental abatement crews working in the towers removing asbestos and until that process is completed, the towers cannot be destroyed. There are no immediate plans for the grounds once the buildings have been demolished.

The only plans for the lot once the buildings are demolished and removed is just green space.”

The estimated total project cost for the demolition, abatement, and cleaning up is approximately four million dollars.

The towers were completed and dedicated in 1969. Originally, they were used as residence halls. In 1977, the East tower was transformed to the School of Education, and in 1981, the West tower became the School of Business.

In 2009, the Bayh College of education moved to the renovated University Hall, and in 2012, the Scott College of Business moved into the renovated Federal Hall.

Each tower remained vacant after the respective colleges moved to their current locations.

For the most part, students agree that there needs to be something done with the Statesman Towers.

Sophomore Nicholas Andreasen, an athletic training major, said, “I knew the towers were empty because I sometimes park in one of the parking lots by the towers. I would like to see the land put to some kind of use. Something like a medical school or radiology or even a parking garage would be good.”

Senior Vaeta Lowry, an environmental science major, was passionate about what she would like to see happen.

“Campus is getting crowded and it caused me to have to live off campus this year,” Lowry said. “I would like to see more dorms constructed to help with the increase in student enrollment.

Parking is also an issue and a parking garage for students could help with the parking problem. They should do something with the land instead of nothing.

While the fate of the Statesman Towers has been decided, what to do with the void it leaves is something many at Indiana State University think should be considered.

Marshall-Bowen appears in court Kristi Ashby News Editor Nineteen-year-old Rashon MarshallBowen of Plainfield, Indiana faces a class B misdemeanor count of harassment for her social media post on Yik Yak. ISU Public Safety arrested her on Friday in connection to Wednesday night’s post that referenced a campus shooting.

Police do not suspect Marshall-Bowen of the note left in University Hall.

At Monday’s hearing, Marshall-Bowen told the judge she would hire her own lawyer and will return to court on Oct. 29 at 8:30 a.m.

Marshall-Bowen will face up to 180 days in jail if convicted of this crime.

The court judge, Sarah Mullican, ordered that she have no contact with Indiana State University.

Michele Barrett, the assistant chief of

police at ISU, has been working with the investigation of this case.

“The case is now with the prosecutor and any changes to the charges will be up to the prosecutor,” Barrett said.

“Marshall-Bowen will have a hearing with student conduct and integrity [Tuesday] to evaluate her enrollment at Indiana State University. She was put on immediate suspension until this hearing.”

The prosecutor representing the state in this case is Terry R. Modesitt.

As with all students involved in police or conduct matters, Student Conduct and Integrity reviews the information for alleged violations of the Code of Student Conduct.

The student has the right to review this information and be provided a hearing.

A student’s involvement with this office is private and not open for public

knowledge as is any outcome.

Following any conduct process, the student involved has the right to file an appeal and to have the appeal reviewed.

Craig R. Enyeart, the assistant dean of students and the director of student conduct and integrity, cannot give any information concerning MarshallBowen’s standing at ISU. “I understand the interest in this outcome; however, will protect the rights of all involved throughout the process,” Enyeart said. “Once the decision is final, the University administration and legal counsel will be consulted on what information will be released and by whom.”

Many students are mad about this hoax. They can’t believe that someone would think this was a joke.

One such student, Tameka Moore, a freshman communication major, was

shocked that someone would make a hoax about something so serious.

“I thought it was stupid,” Moore said.

“I do feel bad that her life is messed up because of a joke. Why would someone do that, though? I also can’t believe that someone egged it on by writing that note.

This was all just completely childish.”

The note that was found on September 18, 2014, in the men’s restroom at the Bayh College of Education is currently still under investigation by ISU police department.

If caught, the person who wrote the note will face similar charges in City Court. The nature of the charges would be entirely up to the Prosecutor’s Office on what they decide.

If anyone has any information concerning this please contact the ISU Public Safety Department’s police dispatch center at 812-237-5555.

Midterm changes force professors, students to adapt Myesha Garner Reporter A recent decision has been made by the university to pull midterm grades earlier than usual. There will be a twoweek interim period in which they will be pulled, and students will be receiving progress reports no later than the sevenweek mark.

This change presents a number of challenges to students and teachers alike.

With midterms being pulled earlier, teachers will have less time to prepare students for tests.

They will either have to force in a lot of information in a short time, or test over a mere few things.

Kayla Sinders, a sophomore communications major, said she agrees that the change could have a serious effect on the professors’ schedules.

“It’s also more work for the professors to have them early,” Sinders said. “They

have to rearrange schedules they have had for years and are used to.”

Not only does this change affect the material a professor decides to test a student over, but it also changes the overall structure of the class curriculum.

A large number of professors have had the same curriculum and schedule for years, so with the change in midterms, they are forced to adapt.

Once a schedule has been set, it can be difficult to change, especially if it’s one that has always been consistent.

Teachers also have to rely on students understanding material in a short period of time. Without the extra time they may usually have, students are more restricted in the time they have to master what is taught.

Though the two weeks may not seem like a lot, they do play a role in the time a student has to learn and understand new concepts.

Grades instead will be pulled during a two-week interim; that means two weeks of material will not be included in the test.

Normally those weeks contain material that is just as essential as what students learned in the beginning. However, they will not be a part of the testing material.

Dior Johnson is a senior majoring in human resources, and believes that the change does not properly assess what a student may know.

“I feel that it doesn’t really show the progress we’ve done in the class as far as assignments,” Johnson said. “Also, professors are moving exams up so they can have a solid grade to give but the exams only cover the beginning course content and not truly half way like you would think a midterm would be.”

Midterms are designed to assess what a student knows based off of material that has been learned, but this change

may not allow that.

Lauren Karcher, a junior nursing major and the executive director for academic affairs for SGA, believes the impact can be positive for students.

“I think this change will have a positive impact on the university,” Karcher said. “Not only will students be better informed of their grade, but this motion will encourage good communication between faculty and students as well, which is vital in the university setting.”

Even though students may have less time to understand concepts, there will be less material to learn and master. This benefits students, because there is less they will have to memorize.

Students and teachers must choose how to assess the change. It can be taken in two ways: good, due to less material to memorize, or bad, due to a less extensive assessment of a student’s overall knowledge of the course content.

Indiana State’s international student enrollment edges higher BETSY SIMON

ISU Communications and Marketing Word is spreading abroad about the quality experience students have at Indiana State University, as international student enrollment has edged higher this fall, according to university officials.

The jump to nearly 1,100 international students in 2014 is an 18.5 percent increase from last fall when 926 international students were enrolled, which was the highest enrollment since the 1970s.

This fall, 83 countries — 11 countries more than last year — are represented on campus with Saudi Arabia having the highest enrollment with 515 students, followed by India with 110 students and China with 74 students.

The diversity of countries and students has Chris McGrew, director of the Center for Global Engagement, excited.

“Middle Eastern student numbers tend to always be big, but now we’re seeing our West African student population grow and are up in the number of students from Ghana, Congo and Nigeria,” he said.

There are four students enrolled in a program that allows Moroccans to earn a Master of Business Administration, three

students are natives of a region of western China represented on campus for the first time and enrollment spiked from three to 23 students in the Brazilian Scientific Mobility Program, a one-year, non-degree program that gives Brazilian students an opportunity to study in the U.S. “One of the students who studied here last year came back to work on a master’s degree and brought his girlfriend, who is also working on her master’s degree at Indiana State after hearing what a good experience her boyfriend had,” McGrew said. “These experiences, if they’re good for students, can cause ripple effects like that.”

It only took junior chemistry and premed major Mopelola Akinlaja from Abuja, Nigeria a semester to acclimate herself and find a home at Indiana State.

“I’m gaining a lot of knowledge at ISU and building relationships,” she said.

More than half of the international enrollment this fall are students sponsored by governments, military, oil companies or police organizations, including 480 students from Saudi Arabia, 70 from United Arab Emirates, three from Japan, four from Qatar and six from a Saudi oil company, Aramco.

Indiana State this fall began assessing a $300 fee per semester for each sponsored student this fall because of sponsor-required conditions that involve extra faculty and staff time. Funds will benefit the education and experience of sponsored students.

“The application process requires additional work with the embassies and our office has to monitor these students to make sure they aren’t taking online classes without approval, so we coordinate with the departments and advisors,” said ElHoucin Chaqra, associate director for international development and academic linkages.

The fee will be used for a variety of purposes, including helping colleges pay for employment of sponsored students, provide tutoring, housing on- or offcampus, airport pickup, grants to assist sponsored student activities and to fund a sponsored student orientation.

“We want these students to have an excellent experience, academically and culturally,” Chaqra said. “When they are here we want them to get to know the faculty and staff outside of the classes or the business context. We want them to be able to get to know Indiana and the

Midwest, so when they go back they are like ambassadors of the United States in their countries.”

Customer service plays a big part in recruitment, along with face-to-face conversations between Indiana State faculty and alumni who go abroad and meet with students and their parents and spread the word about their positive experiences on campus.

“The customer service we provide and the experience those students have on our campus help to grow our numbers,” McGrew said.

The Center for Global Engagement has set a goal to enroll 1,100 international students by 2017.

“Indiana ranks in the top five for hosting international high school students, but it ranks in the bottom five for sending students abroad,” McGrew said.

“With the large population of firstgeneration students Indiana State serves, we have a demographic that isn’t necessarily looking at the world but we want them to, so study abroad and interacting with international students who come here to study are good ways to encourage [our students] to see the world.”

Spare the rod, spoil the running back Peterson incident reminds parents to think before providing discipline On May 18, the Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson — the best running back in the NFL today — was indicted on charges of negligent child abuse after whupping his 4-year-old son with a switch because he pushed another one of his siblings over a videogame.

Although his heart Columnist was in the right place, the spanking debate has arisen once again.

Adrian Peterson clearly stated that he is not a child abuser and that “I feel very confident with my actions, because I know my intent.”

Though this may be, he is still set for a court trial in 2015 if he does not succeed in his request for an earlier court date.

His child’s mother reported the incident after their child came to her house with marks on his body from the whupping that had occurred earlier that week.

There was another incident involving Adrian Peterson’s discipline that Ms. Peterson had attempted to report, but the report failed because the child was hurt by accident during the discipline.

It’s difficult to raise a child when you have parents who do not agree.

Peterson wasn’t wrong for doing what he thought was best, and Ms. Peterson

Mason Moton

was absolutely right by calling the cause lifelong emotional damage to authorities for the safety of her son. a child and sometimes even physical There are so many different ways damage as well. to raise a child, and you have a man Opponents of spanking also argue and a woman who do not live together that there are plenty of alternative implementing what they think is best for ways to discipline a child who is acting the child. inappropriately.

children.

For example: putting a child in a corner repetitively for long periods of time because they did something wrong on accident could lead to a child feeling insecure about every mistake they make, and whupping a child for pushing their sibling could lead to the child thinking that a whupping corrects a whupping, or violence corrects violence as they grow older.

One must remember that a child is only a child for as long as you allow them to be.

Before you discipline your child, you should definitely take precautionary steps like deciding whether or not you will use a belt, switch or your hand. Then you should discipline your child without leaving lasting injuries. Finally, you should discipline your child with a level head because the last thing anyone wants to do is to accidentally hurt a child.

Adrian Peterson knew what he was doing, and he knew how Ms. Peterson would react. He may not have expected to leave visible marks on his son, but he did intentionally whup his son.

In that case, Adrian Peterson deserves to be prosecuted, because without Ms. Peterson being around, there is no way for her to determine the safety of her child — and that is not fair.

It is expected that Adrian Peterson will return to being the great NFL player he is, as well as being a great father to his children.

US reacts to ISIS beheadings with drone bombings The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria is a terrorist organization that originally started as a splinter group from Al Qaeda, breaking from the group in February of this year.

The goal of ISIS is to create an Islamic state run by traditional Islamic law and customs Columnist across Iraq and Syria.

They are infamous for their public displays including public executions, crucifixions, amputations and other acts of torture. These public displays are seen by citizens, even children. Usually citizens are forced against their will to watch these.

Since the split from al Qaeda in February, ISIS has taken over large amounts of northern Iraq and parts of Syria. The United Nations has estimated

Kelsey Golden

over one million Iraqis have been forced from their homes.

ISIS released a horrific video of journalist James Foley in August. In the video ISIS beheads Foley, sending a warning to America, which had recently started carrying out airstrikes and sent additional troops to Iraq. Then in September, Steven Sotloff was also beheaded in a video made by ISIS. The same thing happened for a third time to British aid worker David Haines; at the end of this video, ISIS threatens the life of another British citizen held captive.

According to the Huffington Post, ISIS has called upon its followers and supporters to attack America and France among other nations in the coalition that is working to stop ISIS by air strikes and arming rebels fighting them.

This was in response to French and U.S. war-planes striking ISIS-controlled areas, U.S. arming and training Syrian rebels and another increase in U.S. troops in Iraq. ISIS is trying to pull America

into another war it seems. In a quote taken from a transcript of the video ISIS released telling their supporters to attack the United States and France, Abu Muhammad al-Adnani, the leader of ISIS said, “O mule of the Jews, you claimed today that America would not be drawn into a war on the ground. No, it will be drawn and dragged ... to its death, grave and destruction.”

ISIS is trying to stir up the western world so they do not try to stop the spread of ISIS. ISIS’s goal is to spread through all of the region, and western powers like the U.S., France and England are serious threats to them.

They know that since the war on terror that president Bush started, support for fighting in Iraq has declined. For most of Obama’s time as president he has tried to withdraw troops from the Middle East.

Obama has ruled out the use of ground troops against ISIS due to the fact he has been a big advocate for the removal of

troops from the region. Al Qaeda was weakened by the war on terror, but they were not eliminated.

Americans are rightfully weary of helping with the current ISIS situation; getting out of Iraq was hard, and the war on terror took a lot more work than originally thought.

However, Obama is not interested in putting boots on the ground, so the U.S. will not get in another long ground war.

Entering into another war does not seem necessary or wanted at this point.

ISIS is mostly a concern for the Syrians and Iraqis. Arming Syrian rebels to help them is a good strategy.

It keeps Americans safe but also prevents the ISIS group from growing more. Syrian rebels stopped ISIS from taking over a town near the border of Turkey. This shows that the America’s strategy is effective and curbing the spread of ISIS. The United States’ strategy for fighting ISIS is wise at this point in the conflict.

‘Moral Mondays’ makes the move to Indiana In July 2013, the Raleigh, North Carolina Moral Mondays movement began as a response to the legislative agenda of Governor Pat McCroy and the General Assembly.

According to the Huffington Post, the monthly protest that has been organized by religious leaders — most notably Reverend Political Columnist William Barber — and the NAACP, targets issues such as voting rights, fracking, cuts to education funding and healthcare.

With over 1,600 demonstrators gathered outside of the General Assembly, the protests gained nationwide notoriety and drew the criticism of North Carolina lawmakers, including Governor McCroy, who referred to the protests as “unacceptable.”

The legislative agenda of North Carolina was particularly egregious to residents

Julian Winborn

and various organizations, and with Reverend William Barber establishing Moral Mondays in Indiana, it seems that the agenda of Governor Mike Pence and the General Assembly is undergoing the same scrutiny.

At the first protest on September 19, President of the Indiana State NAACP, Barbara Bolling-Williams, told the Public News Service that Indiana is in need of Moral Mondays, saying that when our elected officials “no longer listen to our voices” then it is “time to speak louder” in a way that will be heard.

Bolling-Williams said the minimum wage, “quality” public education, healthcare and marriage equality are among the issues that must be addressed.

However, according to the Indy Star, Moral Mondays “wants it all” with voting reforms, environmental legislation and revisions to the criminal justice system.

Movements of this nature are fairly common with the current Flood Wall Street protests, and its predecessor, the Occupy movement. However, Sheila Suess Kennedy and Nancy Holle note that

Moral Mondays are unique in that it’s “the biggest tent you can imagine” and that the issues agenda is large with “politically aligned” organizations for “strength in numbers.”

Though the U.S. Department Labor reported in 2013 that there were 93 thousand Hoosiers that were being paid at or below minimum wage, with Governor Pence and many legislators remaining staunchly opposed to a raise in the minimum wage, the protesters will face a steep battle for a raise.

In 2013, House Democrats proposed a bill that would bring the minimum wage to $8.25; the vote was firmly set down party lines with each House Republican voting “no” on the measure.

Governor Mike Pence made his opposition apparent when he signed into law a bill that prohibits local governments from requiring a higher wage, which prevents any Seattle inspired movement for a higher wage.

It remains to be seen as to whether or not the protests will be effective in drawing attention to these issues and

inspire any legislative action.

Though Moral Mondays in North Carolina boasted large crowds, acted a nuisance to lawmakers and drew nationwide scrutiny to the General Assembly policy agenda, the political climate of Indiana may not incite as much passion with the movement’s key issues of marriage equality and healthcare that are being addressed.

Governor Pence’s Healthy Indiana Plan 2.0, a plan that will expand health insurance to low income Hoosiers, is currently being reviewed by the federal Department of Health and Human Services, while Indiana’s same-sex marriage ban seems to be awaiting attention from the U.S. Supreme Court.

The Moral Mondays movement can be successful if the organizers can portray the General Assembly agenda as being contrary to the interests of Hoosiers without focusing on issues that are currently being acted on; education, voting rights, the criminal justice system and environmental legislation should headline the movement.

‘Destiny’ the future of console gaming Andrew Christman Reporter “Destiny” has been one of the most anticipated games to come out for the newest generation of consoles. However, since its release, does it live up to the hype and promise that the developer Bungie made?

In all honesty, it’s a mixed bag.“Destiny” is a first-person shooter mixed with roleplaying and massive multiplayer online components to create a game that is both fun and unique.

Players get to create up to three Guardians from a mix of three different customizable races and three different roles. Picking a class is difficult, as each one is equally tempting from the benefits.

In the end, it’s all personal preference.

The customizable classes are Titan, Warlock and Hunter. Titans are physically the strongest, but don’t move so well.

Warlocks are very powerful at midrange, but are much weaker when it comes to damage.

Hunters are very fast and nimble, but can only take minimal amounts of damage.

Combat in “Destiny” is often very fast-paced and intense. Enemies come in waves and offer unique challenges depending on what kind you are facing.

The cover art added more hype to the much-anticipated game release (geardiary.com)

The Fallen tend to take cover and engage players at mid-range, whereas enemies like the Hive tend to charge and force players to engage in close quarters combat. Leveling up and earning new abilities is also a blast, especially after unlocking a subclass that really changes the role of your Guardian.

Fighting off these enemies is fun,

and each type of enemy looks great. I have to admit “Destiny” is one of the best looking games I have ever played, especially on next-gen consoles like the Xbox One and PlayStation 4.

While the game is a lot of fun, there are obviously downsides. For starters, “Destiny” is an always-online game, meaning that players who don’t have

Internet connection and access to the PlayStation Network or Xbox Live won’t even be able to play.

Missions also get very repetitive, especially after hitting the level 20 cap.

Most of the time you will be grinding the exact same locations just hoping to find better gear that allows you to continue to advance, which is a long and exhausting process.

“Destiny” also has one of the weakest stories that I have ever played through, and I have to say that while I’m still having fun with the game, I have no real idea of what’s going on.

In fact, I had more questions than answers by the time I finished all of the story missions.

The main mission’s conclusion is also pathetically weak, meaning that players will have to wait until the first expansion comes out in a few months to be able to continue finding out more about this futuristic galaxy.

Overall, “Destiny” is still a very fun game. With lots of other players to interact with, classes to level up and enemies to kill, it is easy to get lost in this game.

However, a very weak story and repetitive missions might wear on you after a while. In the end, it is all about what you want to make out of this game.

WISU , WFYI stations complete on-air transition Indiana State University and WFYI Public Media are now broadcasting public radio programming to listeners from west-central Indiana and eastern Illinois.

Listeners can now tune into WISU, 89.7, for National Public Radio.

The new partnership between the two went live at noon Thursday, Sept. 18. The new station provides the ISU area and its listeners with a full listing of NPR programming and also new opportunities for the students.

Also on Thursday, WISU’s student programming moved to its new home on WZIS, 90.7 FM. The

second station was made possible when Indiana State University acquired WMHD, 90.7, from the RoseHulman Institute of Technology in August. The new station was renamed WZIS. Now, 178,000 potential listeners from west-central Indiana and eastern Illinois can listen to WFYI through Indiana State University. Programs will include “Morning Edition,” “Fresh Air,” “All Things Considered” and “This American Life.”

“This is a great time for student broadcasting at ISU. These students will now have the ability to continue the everyday music programming, as well as gain valuable

experience in news and public affairs radio,” said Richard Green, general manager for WISU. Indiana State University officials approached WFYI about the partnership. They believe it will be a great learning opportunity for the students and provide a great service to listeners.

“We are very happy on behalf of myself and the student station on forming our relationship with WFYI and the transition has been a great success so far.

Hopefully this will lead to more opportunities for us and the entire ISU community,” said Max Slizewski, ISU student station manager.

‘Journey to the West’ an unconventional, outrageous comedy

Carey Ford Chief Copy Editor

“Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons” is a reimagining of the classic 16th-century Chinese novel “Journey to the West” as a goofy action-comedy. Released in its original Mandarin in 2013, it’s the highest-grossing Chinese-language film yet, earning $215 million worldwide.

And right now it’s available on Netflix, if you don’t mind reading subtitles.

The movie follows the story of Xuan Zang, a Buddhist monk and demon hunter, as he tries to find enlightenment.

His journey takes him across China and India in search of the Monkey King, a trickster imprisoned by Buddha who holds the secret to defeating another demon.

Much of this film’s strength lies in the originality of its characters. Xuan Zang is honest and humble but still PHOTOGRAPHS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Among those students was freshman nursing major Breana Brown and music and choral conducting master Katrina Welborn.

“The director came into my class, and I saw postings on Facebook,” Brown said. “I don’t have a LinkedIn account yet, but I’ll be setting one up soon. This was a very valuable thing for students to come to.”

“I’m in performing and fine arts at the master level, and having a headshot is always good for auditions,” Welborn said. “This is an absolutely valuable service to students, especially because it’s free.”

harbors some flaws, one of which being that he’s terrible at hunting demons. Tomboyish Miss Duan, a rival demon hunter, tries to seduce Xuan Zang but fails again and again with hilarious consequences. Despite this, she still kicks demon butt with the flying golden “Infinity ring” she wields as a weapon.

The two leads are joined by three other demon hunters as well, each just as unique.

The Almighty Foot, a white-haired old man with a shriveled leg, fights by growing his foot magically bigger and kicking the snot out of the bad guys, foot puns and all.

Fist of the North Star fights with his hands, calling upon the strength of the tiger and the praying mantis. He’s played by an actual Shaolin monk named Xing Yu. Prince Important fights with magical flying swords from the comfort of the

couch his servants carry him around on. Each character is outrageous and yet somehow still believable.

Despite being a comedy, “Journey to the West” has some exciting action sequences. At one point, Duan takes on a whole roomful of demons, dispatching them in a whirl of spinning and flipping martial arts. There’s a chase scene as Xuan Zang and Duan try to outrun a demon in an airpowered steampunk-looking tank. The movie culminates in one grand fight scene that words just cannot describe.

“Journey” is equal parts comedy, martial arts, actionadventure and drama, with a musical number or two thrown in for good measure. With its tongue-in-cheek humor, unique storytelling and unforgettable characters, “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demon” is sure to become a cult favorite.

Photographers were provided through the Office of Communications and Marketing.

Photography services’ Tony Campbell organized the four photographers helping out, himself included.

“The Career Center asked if I was interested in helping students with professional pictures,” Campbell said.

Campbell encourages students to get a professional picture taken.

“Having a professional picture is a good way to put your best foot forward and have a more professional look,” Campbell said.

Haute harrier holds hometown close to heart

John Mascari reflects on a long and productive cross-country career in Terre Haute ROB LAFARY Sports Editor

Sports Editor, Rob Lafary StatesmanSports@isustudentmedia.com Wednesday, September 24, 2014 • Page 8

Indiana State Sycamore junior John Mascari is on pace to become the greatest cross-country runner in school history. It is quite the accomplishment for a young man whose successful career started just minutes away from campus — and he still has one year left.

A Terre Haute resident and a 2011 graduate of Terre Haute North Vigo High School, the runner made the comfortable decision to stay in his native city.

As the 2011 Wabash Valley Athlete of the Year, a multiyear all-conference and all-state selection, a school-record holder and a state and national crosscountry meet finalist, Mascari knew Indiana State was the best place to pursue bigger and better things.

“It was a good decision for me,” Mascari said in an interview on Monday afternoon. “It just feels like home here and my parents live right down the street so it’s a good feeling to be here. I’m very happy here.

The support system here is extraordinary. To be able to

run in front of my hometown is really champion, a national championship special deep down and I know that if I qualifier and the school’s first-ever have a good race or bad race, someone cross country All-American. will always be there for me.”

KEVIN JENISON ISU Athletic Media Relations

Indiana State senior Gina Della Camera recorded a career best finish as she led the Indiana State Sycamore golf team to a third place finish at the 2014 Saluki Shootout Sunday. The one-day, 36-hole event was held at Hickory Ridge Golf Course.

Della Camera fired a career-low round of 73 in the morning session as she was tied for second with Evansville’s Kayla Katterhenry. The Sycamore senior came back with a 75 in the afternoon session to finish with a career low 36-hole tournament total of 148 and alone in third place. It was the first top-five finish for Della Camera, her second top-10, and fifth top-20 finish.

She opened the season with a ninth-place finish at the WIU Autumn Invitational.

SIU Edwardsville’s Alison Gorman and Southern Illinois’ Mattie Lindner shared medalist honors as each carded a 146 total after the two rounds of competition.

Brooke Cusamano finished fourth at 149 while Katterhenry and Hanna Netisingha of Southern Illinois tied for fifth at 150.

The hosting Southern Illinois Salukis won the team title with a 601 total while SIU Edwardsville was second at 606 and Indiana State third with a 618. SIU’s “B” team was fifth with Austin Peay State fifth, Evansville sixth and Eastern Illinois seventh.

Also finishing in the top 10 for Indiana State was

sophomore Marissa Uradomo who recorded her second straight top-20 finish of the 2014-2015 campaign as she tied for ninth with a 153 total. Uradomo was tied for 14th after an opening round 77 but was consistent in the second round with a 76 to move into the top 10.

Senior Amanda Smith tied for 17th with rounds of 78 and 80 for a 158 total while senior Erinn Sutton tied for 22nd with identical rounds of 80 for a 160 total. Senior Andrea Frankiewicz competed in her first tournament of the season and shot a career low round of 79 in the opening round. She came back with an 82 in the second round to finish with a career 36-hole total of 161 and a career best finish at 24th.

Williams, playing in her second tournament of the season, shot a pair of 81s in the two rounds, which were career bests, as was her 36-hole total of 162 and her finish in tying for 25th.

Turner played in her first collegiate tournament and came away with a 27th place finish with rounds of 82 and 81 for a 163 total.

Berube played in her first tournament of the season and opened with an 81 but backed up a bit in the afternoon to finish with an 87 and a two-round total of 168 to tie for 34th.

Harper also saw action and opened with a 93 but came back with a career low 81 in the second round for a career best 36-hole total of 174 and in 43rd position.

The Sycamores will have a couple of weeks to prepare for their next tournament when they will compete in the Diane Thomason Invite hosted by the University of Iowa on Oct. 4 and 5. The tournament will be played at Finkbine Golf Course in Iowa City, Iowa.

Della Camera, a Sycamore senior, led the women’s golf team to a third-place finish this Sunday at the Saluki Shootout (Athletic Media Relations).

WEEKLY PLAYBOOK:

NCAA rivalries highlight week-six matchups Tyler Sanders Reporter

No. 11 UCLA vs. No. 15 Arizona State — The Arizona State Sun Devils and the UCLA Bruins face off on Thursday in a mid-week Pac-12 college football matchup at Sun Devil Stadium.

The Arizona State Sun Devils are off to a 3-0 start, and they return home after two road wins at New Mexico and at Colorado.

The big news for Todd Graham’s ASU team is that starting quarterback Taylor Kelly is out for this one, but the blow was softened at least a little as the Sun Devils were off last week and it gave his replacement, Mike Bercovici, and extra week to practice with the first team as he looked unprepared against Colorado when he was called into action.

UCLA comes into this game unbeaten at 3-0 and are coming off of a bye week as well as they play their first Pac-12 conference game of the year.

Last week, quarterback Brett Hundley got hurt against Texas Tech, but it seems that he will be able to play. Arizona State won the showdown 38-33 last season.

No. 16 Stanford vs. Washington — Last time Stanford traveled to Seattle, the Washington Huskies didn’t greet them kindly as the home team posted a 17-13 win two years ago.

Last season, Stanford escaped the upset and won 31-28 at home. Stanford enters the game ranked number one in the nation for scoring defense.

This defense will be tough for the Huskies to break.

Look for senior quarterback Kevin Hogan to continue his success against the Huskies.

Sports Briefs

ISU Athletics to host chili cook-off and wine tasting Blaine Kinsey ISU Athletic Media Relations

Washington will look to find the missing piece to get past the tough Cardinal defense.

Coming into this game, the Huskies are 5-0 in opening conference games.

The Huskies defense is one to not overlook as it leads the nation in total sacks with 19.

This game should end up as a low scoring game with the best defense propelling its team to a win.

Missouri vs. No. 13 South Carolina — Missouri is coming off a disappointing loss to Indiana that dropped them out of the Top 25.

At 3-1, the Tigers begin defense of its 2013 SEC Eastern Division championship with their conference opener this Saturday as they take on the 3-1 Gamecocks.

Missouri is an outstanding 5-0 on the road coming off last season and look to keep that win streak alive.

Mizzou will look to keep up a good running game and also hope to get senior defensive end Andrew Baggett back from a hamstring injury.

South Carolina is looking to improve to 4-1 overall and 3-1 in SEC play. With a win, the Gamecocks will keep their playoff hopes alive, but with a loss, the playoffs are out of sight.

Head coach Steve Spurrier is 2-1 in his career against Missouri. South Carolina will look to the depth in the run game to keep control of the game.

Don’t sleep on the pass attack though, as South Carolina posted 237 yards and three touchdowns last week against Vanderbilt.

Last season’s game was a wild one, with the Gamecocks coming out on top 27-24 in overtime.
