BID DAY, BIG DAY Wednesday, September 10, 2014 Indiana State University www.indianastatesman.com Volume 122 Issue 9

ISUPD hires new officer STEVE WININGER Reporter The Indiana State University Police department has hired a new officer who will begin working with the force later this month.

Andrew Piske completed a rigorous selection process that includes a physical abilities test, knowledge tests and an interview.

Joseph Newport, Police Chief and Director of Public Safety, is glad to have the new officer on campus.

“Once Piske completes his training at the Indiana State Police Academy, he will begin an on-the-job training process with the campus police,” Newport said.

Once Piske’s on-the-job training is completed, he will then be assigned duties and responsibilities as all other members of the university police department.

“There is no plan to increase the size of the campus police force. Piske is filling a vacancy within the department.

Later this year another officer will be retiring, and thus we will go through the selection, hiring and training process all over again,” Chief Newport said.

Also joining the campus police earlier this year as assistant police chief was Michele Barrett, a twentyyear veteran of the Terre Haute Police department.

Sorority women welcome new sisters at Sunday’s Bid Day event at the fountain following a series of Rush Week events (Photo by Kira Clouse).

Sororities find new sisters at the fountain RANDY RICCI Reporter Students, faculty and staff lined up at the fountain on Sunday to watch the sororities host Bid Day at Indiana State University.

Bid Day is an event where all the women who were recruited to sororities during the formal rush season line up at the fountain and run home to stand with their new sorority.

Bid Day is a very emotional event for the women because they find out who their sisters are and which sorority they will call home for the next three to four years.

Hannah Hendrix, a sophomore special education major and an Alpha Chi Omega sorority member, was at the fountain early to help set up.

She talked about her bid day last year when she was on the other end, running home to

Alpha Chi Omega.

“I actually cried during my bid day; it is a very important day where you find your sisters for life,” said Hendrix. “It is your home away from home during college.”

Finding the sororities with which they belong is a very long process for these women. The sororities meet and interview many ladies and host rush events to see if they will fit into the sorority.

At the end of the night, the sororities select women they believe will fit in, and the women select their top picks for sororities as well.

After a few rush events, women get eliminated from sororities, and others get invited back and stay in the running.

At the end of the rush events, the women finally find out which sorority they are going to join. Sororities will take

anywhere from between 25-45 new sisters every year.

On Bid Day they all line up in front of the sororities and run home to their new sisters.

Bailey Craig, a freshman biology major, was one of the freshman sorority recruiters running to their new home on Sunday.

“Bid Day was amazing,” Craig said. “Running to my new home and being welcomed with open arms by all of my sisters was an indescribable and phenomenal experience. I’m a sister of Chi Omega, and couldn’t be more pleased to call myself part of this chapter. I think everyone should at least look into Greek life because already it is an amazing experience.”

Greek life is big at Indiana State University and only growing larger as the freshman classes keep growing.

From Fall 2011 to Fall 2012,

the number of members in Greek life grew from 993 to 1,067, almost 100 members just in one year.

There are many negative stereotypes about fraternities and sororities on campus, but over the years the members of Greek life have been proving those wrong.

Greek life on campus contributed $60,000 and over 22,000 hours of community service just last year.

Austin Thomas, a senior chemistry major and the recruitment chairmen for Lambda Chi Alpha, talked about his Greek life experience during his four years here at Indiana State.

“I wouldn’t have wanted to go through college any other way,” Thomas said. “Greek life was an amazing experience and it gave me brothers I’ll have for the rest of my life.”

University Police Awarded

Wednesday, September 10, 2014 • Page 2

ISU officers receive Lifesaving Award for actions in last year’s fire on campus Steve Wininger Reporter At an awards ceremony at the Indiana Government Center in Indianapolis on Aug. 20, four police officers from Indiana State University received the Department Lifesaving Award for their selfless actions at a fire at the University Apartments on Oct. 1, 2013.

Indiana State University Police were the first responders to the fire after being alerted by a citizen about smoke coming out of the University Apartments.

They immediately notified the dispatch, calling all the appropriate fire and local law enforcement agencies.

Before the Terre Haute Fire Department arrived on the scene, State Police troopers, Terre Haute Police and Indiana State University police proceeded to various entrances in the building to begin evacuating the residents.

Sergeant Jacqueline Smith of the Indiana State University Police and other first officers on the scene assumed the role of commander until the fire department arrived.

“When we get the call, we don’t really think about the danger,” Smith said. “We are focused on the job and that instinct and training takes over when we leave for any emergency. This is what training is for.”

When officers arrived, they didn’t think about their personal safety; they knew there were people in the apartments, and the officers at the scene focused their attention on getting people to safety.

Once the officers ensured that all residents were safely out of the apartments, they took on the role of crowd and traffic control around the scene of the fire.

When the fire department arrived at the scene, they assumed command of the situation and started putting out the fire.

Four Indiana State University police officers were recently awarded the Department Lifesaving Award in recognition of their actions on Oct. 1, 2013 at the University Apartments. The officers led many residents to safety during the fire (Photo by Ayden Jent).

“I was totally surprised about the “I think it’s a good idea to give the award,” Smith said. “We officers this award,” were just doing our job. “When we get the Karcher said.

I did not expect to get “Hopefully that will an award. We were all call, we don’t really make officers realize their think about the good deeds do make surprised about the award honestly. a difference. I feel safe danger.”

Chief and Director of Public Safety, Lauren Karcher, a sophomore nursing had no idea that the officers under his major, thinks this award is a great way to command had been nominated for any recognize when officers go above the call award for their actions. of duty in their line of work.

“This is something that comes from

the state police, and it was their officers that had nominated the four officers from the University police for the award,” Newport said. “I am very proud of all the officers in the department.

What these four officers have done, any in the department would do at the Indiana State University public safety department.”

In addition to Sergeant Smith, Corporal Brian Pierce and Officers Christopher Heleine and Jordan Gentry also received the Lifesaving Award for their selfless acts that day at the University Apartments.

OPINION

Wednesday, September 10, 2014 • Page 4

iDon’t want the new iPhone Walking through campus I see everyone with their headphones on, music blaring and faces fixed on their phones. Many of those phones are iPhones, and how many of those people waited in long lines to get their devices? How many waited weeks for the phone to ship to them?

With the rumors of the iPhone 6 rolling round, every Apple fanboy and -girl is getting excited for the launch of longawaited phones. And by long-awaited I Columnist mean it has only been a year since the last one came out.

Now they will spend hours in 2007 line waiting for a phone that, in 2008 my opinion, costs way too much.

Now, I know Samsung releases 2009 a new phone every year so I’m 2010 not dogging Apple for that.

Technology doubles every 18 2011 months, and most of the time 2012 now it is like an alien dropped down and gave tech companies 2013 a kick in the pants and got them pumping out new, smaller, sleeker and better-performing stuff every Sept. 19, 2014 12 months.

What I’m irate about is the fact that Apple creates their own demand for their phones.

They release only so many phones to the carriers and those usually go to the stores that will sell out in just a few days.

New York, Chicago and Los Angeles usually get a “big” supply and sell out faster than you can say “I want an iPhone.”

While watching an ABC news report for the launch of the last iPhone, 5S and 5C, I saw there were two fights that erupted and another man was mobbed for his phones.

It is a scary thought that these phones hold such high demand just because Apple corporate says they have a limited supply.

I am an conomics major, and I applaud Apple’s ability to use their weight in the phone market to drive their demand through the roof, but I also condemn them for it when it endangers their customers.

T.C. Wampler

There is an Economic theory that is called Say’s Law that in short means that supply creates its own demand. That means that Apple’s “limited” supply creates a demand that drives the equilibrium price through the roof. This means that you, the consumer, sit in line all night waiting for a phone that will be overpriced because you are sitting in line.

Apple knows they have a great product and that people are willing to pay out the nose for the best of the best.

Yet, when they release the gold iPhone 5S in only three stores around the country people bought them so quickly you could not even order them from their website.

Yet again, two weeks later, gold iPhone 5S’ were everywhere. iPhone 1 released The ABC news report had this iPhone 3G released quotation from Jenni Glaser, 26: iPhone 3Gs released “I want the 64GB gold iPhone and I have heard there is limited stock iPhone 4 released and I don’t want it to run out, so I got here as early as possible.” If that iPhone 4s released doesn’t scream Say’s Law, I need to iPhone 5 released change my major. internationally Like I said before, Apple knows iPhone 5s and 5c how to drive the want for their American release devices.

What I cannot stand is just iPhone 6 and 6 plus how consumers believe the horse anticipated release manure they push on them. date Apple no longer follows the rules that were laid down by the companies before them. They have taken the game of supply and demand and turned it on its head, which has worked for their sales but at the expense of their customers.

They have forever turned me off of any of their products because of the way they run their phone sales.

The mass of consumers who want to get their hands on this limited-supply product means that there is no longer a barrier of just paying for the product but the element of waiting in line.

Only the elite of the iPhone market want to wait days in line for a phone but in those few days they take away the phone from the average Joe who does not have the chance to camp out waiting for a phone.

Vote with your dollar and never wait in line for a product when there is limited supply.

iPhone Release Dates

‘The Fappening’: a public concern for celebrity privacy We have all heard about the huge leak of celebrity nude photos. Many have already gone and clicked on the photo of Jennifer Lawrence, or any of the other women who were exposed by this. It’s important to remember that these women are more than a piece of meat for your entertainment; you may not think that it is a big deal to look at these but it hurts them. They Opinions pictures, didn’t post these pictures to the Editor Internet. Somebody stole them, and by clicking on them, you are perpetuating a kind of voyeurism that simply is not okay.

This event has jokingly been named as “the Fappening” — in reference to a popular euphemism for masturbation.

Using a term like this really takes away from how serious this is. Media outlets aren’t helping anything by loudly advertising what happened before the links were removed.

We could have averted disaster by keeping quiet, but instead these women have been exploited and are now in danger of public shaming for doing something that was supposed to be private.

Nobody likes when their dirty laundry is aired, celebrities included.

These women will now always have a black spot similar to when a sex tape is leaked. Men don’t often have to worry about being stigmatized like this. The so-called “Fappening” is made worse by the fact that many photos were Photoshopped.

They deserve privacy as much as you or I, so don’t click on that link. You are better than that.

You have self-control. It’s time to use it.

How to party your butt off and still succeed in school This is my 16th year of college. One of the reasons I sought a position as a columnist with the Statesman was so that I could pass on a few tips to my fellow schoolmates that I’ve learned over my many years as a college student.

Many of you are out from under your parents’ wings for the first time of your life.

You’re enjoying your first taste of freedom. You can finally do what you want, when you want.

Columnist But don’t forget school.

This is a very important phase of your life, which can affect your whole future.

From my mid-teens until I hit thirty, I was a hardcore party guy.

I attended countless house parties and literally hundreds of major concerts — my first one was a free concert in Hyde Park in London with over 180,000 people when I was 14.

During my early to mid-twenties, I shared a house with three of my best friends for almost three years.

Living in the San Francisco Bay Area there was always something going on.

We hit the bars almost every night. To give you an example, at one point our house record was 128 days straight of hitting the downtown bars.

We then took three days off, and then did another 82 straight days.

Two to four times a week we would bring anywhere from 30 to 60 people home with us after the bars had closed at 1 a.m. to continue the festivities, then about

Garry Bowlds

once a month we’d have a big blowout with well over 150 people.

We kept this up for three years!

At the time, five days a week, I was going to school in the mornings from 8 to 10, and working in the afternoons from noon to 5 p.m.

After work, I’d go home, fix something to eat, begin partying with my roommates and whatever friends dropped by, then at 10 p.m., we’d all jump into our cars and head downtown, staying out until the bars closed at 1 a.m.

Before this I had a solid B average in school. When the partying really ramped up, I began making all A’s!

How did I do this?

During this period, I had an English teacher who once told me that I was the classic procrastinator.

She knew I was a heavy partier because most of the papers I wrote for her class were about my personal life.

She said that she could tell when I really worked on a paper or just cranked out something the night before the paper was due.

I made A’s on the former, B’s or C’s on the others.

One day after class, she said something that struck home and made a deep impression that has lasted to this day.

She said, “When you put off your homework until the last minute, you really can’t enjoy those parties as much as you should because somewhere in the back of your mind there is always this thought that you have homework that you have to get done, and worry about if I you’ll have time to complete it.

“Why not just get your homework out of the way the day it is assigned? Then you could really enjoy the

parties without that guilty feeling gnawing in the back of your mind.”

I realized that she was right, so I decided to try it her way.

After my little talk with my English teacher, I started doing my homework as soon as I got home from work at 5 p.m., usually finishing by 8 p.m.

I’d start cooking dinner while studying. Around 8 p.m. I’d eat dinner and then start partying with my roomies until it was time to hit the local downtown bar scene at 10 p.m.

Because I was putting in a solid two-three hours of study every day after school, I began partying even more and my grades began going up from B’s and C’s to A’s and B’s!

And the best part was that because I was studying religiously every day, I never had to cram for my exams.

Usually, I’d just briefly run through my class notes for 15 minutes or so before class, then go in and take the exam. I was usually one of the first people finished.

Another good tip: for your exams, first do the whole exam once.

If you don’t know the answer to a question, put a question mark next to it and keep going. Then do the whole exam a second time.

Quite often, a later question will spark a memory and you’ll usually get the answer to those questions you missed the first time around.

Sometimes you may even change a previous answer.

I’ve greatly improved my grade on several exams this way.

Moral of this story: You can have your cake and eat it too!

A note on religion and rights As you may have noticed, Brother Jed and similar protesters have returned to campus to the designated smoking area near the performing arts building.

The last few times they came to ISU to preach, the school placed signs nearby telling you to leave or argue, but not to assault them. this time it is important Opinions to At remember your rights and Editor others’.

Just because you disagree doesn’t give you the right to scream at them.

We can all agree that maybe Brother Jed goes about spreading his beliefs in the wrong way, but that is his right.

If you don’t like it, just move on and keep

Kylie Adkins

walking. They will leave if no one is there to listen.

Shouting back at them gives them the power, and if you can spread the same message in a better way, go do it instead of wasting your time on people who will not change.

We pride ourselves on being a diverse campus, but that is not possible if we don’t respect each other and each other’s beliefs.

We don’t have to believe the same thing and that is what makes this such a melting pot of a country.

We need to treat others the way we want to be treated, and we really need to learn to be open-minded. Have an actual conversation with Brother Jed and his wife next time instead of screaming back at them.

Be the bigger person and learn from each Brother Jed always draws a crowd while on campus and he has just as much a right to be here and spread his message as anyone else (Statesman file photo). other. That’s what we’re here to do, right?

Indiana State upholds promise to‘Never Forget’ Adler Ingalsbe Reporter It’s hard to believe that Thursday is the 13th anniversary of the bombings of the twin towers in New York City on September 11, 2001.

That horrible day is something everyone recalls in some way, and they will always remember where they were, whom they were with and what they were doing.

Indiana State University hasn’t forgotten what occurred on that day and still pays respect to the men and women who lost their lives, as well as to the people who are still fighting for our freedom.

ISU will have a variety of activities that students and faculty may participate in, including: a day of remembrance from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Dede 1, the 9/11 movie event in the library events area at

“Personally, it impacted me by not taking my freedom for granted, here in the United States. It also made me become even more grateful for all of our armed forces, who protect us each and every day,” he said.

Lewellyn said it made him more aware of things that could possibly happen at any moment in life.

“It has made me much more aware about attacks of that magnitude being possible and not just a what if type of thing,” he said.

Yik-Yak paddy-whack : Throw the app a bone Genese Zatkoff Reporter A new app called Yik Yak is rising in popularity on college campuses, including Indiana State. Yik Yak is similar to an anonymous Twitter for students all over the country.

Instead of having a second Twitter account for rants, the creators built an app.

“People will say anything when they think no one knows it’s them saying it,” freshman criminology major Taylor Mun said.

Whether the topic is the diversity of the students, Greek life or just random thoughts in general, Yik Yak has it all and it has made an impression on the students here at ISU. This app is popular because you can

“I don’t think anyone should be offended over something that happened on Yik Yak,” Bruner said. “If you are, I think you should ask yourself are you mature enough to be reading this in the first place?”

The app’s original use was purely for entertainment. As long as students can still focus on school, get enjoyment out of reading the comments and escape the stress of homework, isn’t this app doing its job?

Oktoberfest showcases German culture Andrew Christman Features Editor Terre Haute will be hosting its 42nd annual Oktoberfest starting this Thursday and running until Saturday at Ninth and Cherry Streets.

Oktoberfest is a family-friendly event hosted by the German Oberlandler Club of Terre Haute.

Carolyn Warner, German Oberlandler Club membership chair, said Oktoberfest is a fairly popular event for the Terre Haute community.

“We have events for all ages,” Warner said. “We have both American and German bands that really try to interact with everybody, such as playing the chicken dance.”

Warner also said that Oktoberfest could open the attendees’ eyes to a different culture.“We’ll be serving both German and American food,” Warner said. “Along with that, we’ll have small things such as hats and German music.”

President of the German Oberlandler

Club Karl Drabney also encourages students in the area to volunteer to help out.

“We’ve had students help us out in setting up tents and events,” Drabney said. “It’s been a great help for us, and it will really help out the other volunteers as well.”

Drabney also added that the music will take place on Thursday and Friday.

“Those will be the days that we have the dancing and entertainment happening,” he said.

According to the Club’s website, the bands that will be playing will be Eddie Korosa Jr. and the Boys from Illinois along with St. Louis Express. The bands will be performing from 4 p.m. to midnight.

“This has been a fairly popular event for the Terre Haute community,” Warner said. “Though it is a lot smaller because we aren’t at the fairgrounds anymore, but those that come always seem to have fun.

SPORTS WEEKLY PLAYBOOK:

Sports Editor, Rob Lafary StatesmanSports@isustudentmedia.com Wednesday, September 10, 2014 • Page 8

Week three’s slate of games lacks upset

Rob Lafary Sports Editor Aside from the overrated Braxton Miller-absent Ohio State Buckeyes being exposed against Arizona State last Saturday night, many college football fans continue to wait for the big upset of the season. Yes, the one that keeps us buzzing for more than just a day or two.

However, week three most likely will not be that week. A handful of games on tap pose some potentially interesting matchups but the favorites have the clear hold on their opponents. Nonetheless, give these games a watch this Saturday.

No. 6 Georgia at No. 24 South Carolina — Georgia received a bye week after surviving fellow Top 25 team Clemson two weeks ago while South Carolina continues to search for an identity after having to squeak by East Carolina last week.

The Gamecocks inexperienced defense will have to

find some way to hold down Bulldog running back Todd Gurley who ran for nearly 200 yards and three scores against Clemson but Carolina responds with one of the country’s better pass games through the first two weeks.

Senior Dylan Thompson has thrown for 632 yards and five scores but can he respond against a stout Bulldogs defense?

Purdue at No. 11 Notre Dame — I realize the Boilermakers have made life interesting for Notre Dame in the past but that was Purdue in the past and not the awful West Lafayette crew that has appeared in two games already this season. A game of interest across the state of Indiana but one that has limited expectations.

The Fighting Irish have rolled in the first two weeks. Go ahead and put a Sharpie through this one.

Tennessee at No. 4 Oklahoma — If the third week of the season provides the season’s first major upset I will go ahead and pick this game as the potential knock-off.

Oklahoma has been well balanced offensively but the defense has been the true story, allowing just 11.5 points per game during their 2-0 start. But the Sooners have been susceptible to an early upset the last couple of years and the Volunteers may have enough to make this game interesting. Tennessee quarterback Justin Worley will have to be a catalyst early.

No. 12 UCLA at Texas — UCLA is 2-0 but has looked subpar in wins over Memphis and Virginia while the once-glorified Longhorns are stuck in a rut under firstyear head coach Charlie Strong. If Texas manages to pick up a win it’s an upset but not the big one we are hoping for.

If anything, pride is on the line in this contest as the squads hope to jump-start slow beginnings in the 2014 season. Texas gets a real test on Saturday night when the defense goes up against quarterback Brett Hundley and a Bruin offense averaging over 300 yards passing per game.

MLB playoff race heats up as October looms Tyler Sanders Reporter When it comes to September, the playoff race actually begins.

Teams compete all year long to reach the postseason that begins in October. The only problem is that the actual playoff race starts in September.

In the American League, there is only one division that is close. That is the Central Division. The Kansas City Royals have a narrow two game lead over the Detroit Tigers.

In the East, the Baltimore Orioles have run away with the division.

The closest team is the New York Yankees who are 9.5 games back. With only 20 games left, the chance of the Yankees passing the Orioles is slim to none. If the Yankees plan on making the postseason, they will have to clinch one of two wild card spots. The Yankees trail the Oakland Athletics by 4.5 games.

The last division is the West. The Los Angeles Angels lead that division by seven games. The next closest team, the Athletics, currently hold the top wild card spot for the American League. They lead that by a very slim half-game to the Detroit Tigers, who are currently in possession of the American League’s second wild card spot.

The National League is similar to its MLB counterpart in that the only division race that is close is the Central. The National League Central division is actually a three-team

race. Leading the division is the St. Louis Cardinals. Behind the Cardinals is the Pittsburgh Pirates, who are 4.5 games back. Right behind them is the Milwaukee Brewers who are only five games behind the Cardinals. The Pirates currently hold one of the wild card spots with a half-game lead over both the Atlanta Braves and Milwaukee Brewers.

In the East division, the Washington Nationals lead with a record of 81 wins and 61 loses. The Nationals are a lock in the playoffs as their chance of making the playoffs is 99.9%.

The team that is chasing after Nationals is the Braves, who are looking to win a wild card spot, but trail Pittsburgh and San Francisco by 1.5 games.

The West division is somewhat close, but the Los Angeles Dodgers are currently in control with a 3.5 game lead over the Giants. Right now, the Giants are playing for a wild card spot.

At this time, the American League playoff bracket is a tough one.

The matchups are looking like they will be the Royals versus the Orioles and the Mariners versus the Athletics in the wild card game. The winner of that game will have to face the Angels in a five-game series.

In the National League, we get a familiar matchup as the Cardinals take on the Dodgers.

Last season, the Cardinals beat the Dodgers to advance to the World Series.

This year, the Dodgers are winning the head-to-head

series 4-3. The wild card game appears to be between the Pirates and the Giants. The winner of that game will have to face the Nationals.

With the divisions so close, there is still a lot that can happen.

Leads can be shortened or lengthened. Teams can fall apart, or they can rise to the pressure and pull away from the competition. September truly is the start to the postseason for most teams.

If you want to play in October, you must win in September.

Sycamores sign on assistant coaches Indiana State women’s basketball head coach Joey Wells has announced the addition of Josh Keister and Janet Eaton as assistant coaches for the 2014-15 season.

Wells is familiar with both assistants, having spent time as an assistant with Eaton at Lamar and with Keister at Missouri Western. The duo joins third-year assistant coach Sara Riedeman to round out Wells’ staff.

“I’ve been fortunate in my career to surround myself with great people and I’m excited Josh and Janet are now a part of the Sycamore family,” Wells said. “They bring a wealth of knowledge from a variety of levels of collegiate basketball and we are looking forward to a great season with them on staff.”

Keister comes to ISU from Warrensburg, Mo., where he helped lead Division II Central Missouri to a combined 104-46 record in five seasons. The Jennies have posted five Mid America Intercollegiate Athletic Association top-five finishes during his tenure, including the team’s first MIAA regular season championship since 1990-91 in 2013-14 and tournament championships in 2013-14 and runner-up finishes in 2012-13 and 2009-10.

He also helped Nicole Caddell and Keuana Flax to Division II All-American honors and 15 Jennies to AllMIAA honors during his five seasons on staff.

Keister served as an assistant coach at Division I Texas Christian University, where he helped the Lady Frogs to a 23-12 record and a second-place finish in the Mountain West Conference in 2007-08. Their 13-3 conference mark tied for the most league wins in program history. The team qualified for postseason play for the eighth straight year and reached the quarterfinal round of the Women’s NIT. Included in the Frogs’ WNIT run was a third-round victory over Texas Tech, marking their first-ever win over the Lady Raiders.

From 2004-07, Keister was the women’s basketball head coach at Missouri Western. He was also an assistant coach from 1999-2004 and a graduate assistant for both the men’s and women’s basketball programs at MWSU. In his tenure as graduate assistant and assistant coach

for the Griffons, Missouri Western advanced to eight straight NCAA Division II Tournaments and averaged over 23 wins per season. During that time, the Griffons won two MIAA regular season championships, two MIAA postseason tournament titles and were ranked No. 1 in the nation twice.

Keister received his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Mount Mercy College in Iowa in 1996, where he was a two-year letterman. He also holds a master’s degree in higher education from the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 1999.

In his senior year at Mount Mercy, Keister helped the team achieve its best overall record in school history and advance to the round of 16 in the NAIA Tournament. Keister holds all 3-point shooting records there, including career, single season and single-game marks. Prior to attending Mount Mercy, Keister played two seasons at Iowa Lakes Junior College.

Keister and his wife, Kim, have a five-year-old daughter, Alex, and a two-year-old son, Jack.

Eaton arrived in Terre Haute after serving five years as director of athletics at NAIA Wiley College in Marshall, Texas. A coaching veteran with more than 15

years of coaching and administrator experience, Eaton worked with Wells at Lamar University in Beaumont, Texas, where she served as interim head coach.

Under Eaton’s leadership, Wiley College was a perennial powerhouse the Red River Athletic Conference and NAIA. During her short tenure, Wiley College has claimed two conference championships and sent one team the 2012-13 women’s basketball team to the NAIA National Tournament. Eaton and her coaching staff were instrumental in landing the 2013 RRAC Men’s and Women’s Cross-Country championships, which was awarded in April of 2013.

While serving as the interim head coach, she led the Lady Cardinals to the seventh position in the Southland Conference Tournament. Overall, Eaton’s record as interim head coach was 2-3.

Before coming to Wiley, Eaton served as assistant women’s basketball coach at Lamar, as well as director of athletics and head women’s basketball coach at Xavier Preparatory High School in New Orleans, La. While at Xavier Prep, she was named Metro Coach of the Year, Co-Catholic Coach of the Year and the Orleans Parish Coach of the Year. Eaton also guided her 2002 team to district, bi-district and regional championships.

Eaton spent five years at St. Bernard High School before accepting the job at Xavier Prep. She was coach of the year in 1998 and 1999, leading her team to district and bi-district titles in both years. In addition to coaching, Eaton’s credentials include collegiate playing experience. From 1992-94, she played shooting guard under legendary Coach Mary D. Teamer at Dillard University. Originally from Eastabuchie, Mississippi, Eaton was a prep star at South Jones High School under Phillip James. She helped to lead South Jones to the 1988 Mississippi High School State Championship, completing the season with an undefeated 37-0 record.

Eaton earned a Bachelor’s of Arts degree in Health and Physical Education from Dillard University in 1994. She also received a Master’s of Education from the University of Phoenix in 2001. She has one son.
