Student success grant in math department Makyla Thompson Reporter Indiana State University has been awarded a grant of $1.63 million for research math classes, and it is good through 2018.

Joshua Powers, the vice president for student success, is just one of the people working on this project.

“This is a federal grant that colleges and universities were invited to apply for back in the spring,” Powers said. “It’s called a FIPSE grant.”

FIPSE stands for Fund for the Improvement of the Post- Secondary Education.

“It has been historically the primary way for the federal government to stimulate innovation and practice in colleges and universities,” Powers said.

“This project focuses on colleges so that students can complete college.”

In order to get the grant, Indiana State University had to meet specific criteria.

“A lot of people applied for it; we were so incredibly thrilled to be one of the 24 [winners] of the 500 who applied to receive it,” said Powers. “It was competitive; there were 90 pages of criteria you had to meet, and the actual application was 110 pages in total.”

“This project is about testing some interventions in a classroom setting that can help students recognize that they can learn difficult subjects,” Powers said.

The student intervention is for three levels of math. Those levels are Math 035, 102, 115, and they will be including PSY 101.

They will be researching on how students can get a better understanding of math and find ways to help them succeed.

“The reason math is an issue is because

math is one of those topics that pretty much anybody, at least in the United States, you either believe that you get it or don’t get it,” Powers said.

Math is a subject that students have trouble with, so the university will be using the grant to help them complete the math that needs to be completed so that they can be successful in college.

Liz Brown, chair of the math department, is also contributing to the project. This grant that the university has been awarded will only be used for the math study. “[It] is mainly for math, and to do the research on this intervention and if it’s effective, then other institutions can implement it to improve their results in math,” Liz Brown said.

Not only will this project help students succeed, it will also give teachers pointers on how they can improve and help their

student achieve in their class.

“Students will benefit from this because we can then use those ideas in our math classes, and possibly even in other classes to help students do better in their class, and get through college,” Liz Brown said.

Zanosha Brown, a junior health science major, believes that it is a good idea that the university is putting this grant towards the math department.

“I mean I think it’s a good cause,” Zanosha Brown said. “If you think about hard majors such as engineering — they use a lot of math.”

Lametra Graves, a sophomore multidisciplinary studies major, likes the new program. “I approve of it,” Graves said.

“I think it’s good that ISU [is] really taking time to help people that don’t do very well academically, so that they can proceed with their studies.”

Rec center thefts a product of carelessness Steve Wininger Reporter A recent theft at the Recreation Center in September is a reminder that people are not always honest, and if you leave your things lying around unattended, crimes of opportunity can occur.

Students using the Rec Center at Indiana State University should make sure their valuables are secure when using the facilities.

Lt. David Smith, an investigator for the campus police, said a student had his backpack stolen from the men’s locker room Sept. 17 around 4:30 p.m.

The suspect walked out of the locker room into the pool area and out the doors where he jumped a fence towards the Lincoln Quads.

John Lentz, the director for recreational sports, thinks thefts at the Rec Center are not common.

“As far as I know the suspect in

Quita Hall, a junior nursing student, sees many students leaving their stuff lying around.

“Although I do not go to the Rec Center often, the times I have been there I have noticed that people will leave their belongings lying around unattended,” Hall said. “There are signs warning students about leaving their things unattended. The signs are very noticeable.”

Stumbo and Hall both said that people should secure their items, or watch them more closely if they don’t want to become a victim of theft.

“Thefts are down this year at the Rec Center, and … even though there are cameras throughout the facility, they do not prevent theft, only deter it,” Lentz said.

Social media use can open doors, slam others Randy Ricci Reporter Social media is bringing the world closer each and every day.

Different forms of social media have many great uses but they can also be misused, creating problems.

Many students use social media to keep in contact with family and relatives back home or to meet with friends for lunch and everything in between.

Many of these platforms are great tools that have many positive uses in our everyday lives, but they can also be abused.

Recently a new app called Yik Yak surfaced on Indiana State University’s campus. Yik Yak lets users post anonymously about whatever they want.

Students believe they can post whatever they want on Yik Yak and it cannot be traced back to them. Recent events on campus have proven this to be wrong.

For example an ISU student recently posted on Yik Yak mentioning a school shooting and was quickly reported, tracked down and charger with a misdemeanor.

David Barber, an ISU police officer, tracked down the person who posted about the shooting.

“You go online and are assigned an IP address,” Barber said. “Even if you go on a public Wi-Fi like AT&T or McDonald’s you still leave breadcrumbs and can be traced.”

Social media can contain clues to crimes or hints about what happened before a crime took place and officers often use social media to get information

about certain persons of interest.

Police officers are now receiving special training to teach them how to track someone down over anonymous sites and how to deal with any situation that arises over social media.

Social media is a great tool that connects the whole world together and is used by almost everybody in some sort of way. The downside to social media is the fact that no matter what you post, it can affect you later.

Ian Loomis, the Police Patrol Captain for the ISU police department, discussed the hiring process for university police officers and how social media plays a part.

“Anyone that comes in for an internship or job undergoes a very inclusive background check, which includes their social media,” Loomis said.

Social media plays a massive part in the lives of students around campus: it keeps people connected or introduces them to new people and can even distract them and hurt their chances of getting a job.

Abel Redding, a freshman athletic training major, thinks social media is a distraction.

“I believe social media is a distraction and is often misused in classes,” Redding said.

Social media can be used for good or bad reasons and it will only get more involved with our lives as new websites and apps are created. But remember to watch what you post because it could get you into serious trouble, even if it is “anonymous.”

Attendance policies vary among professors

Helena Walker Reporter Most students have no idea what the attendance policy is for some of their classes.

They may find themselves asking, “How many times am I allowed to be sick?” or even, “How many times am I allowed to not show up to class?”

Linda Maule, dean of the university college, says that most of the time it’s the teacher who decides the way the attendance should be handled in their classes.

Many students feel that teachers could make attendance policies clearer and show students more understanding.

Shaianne McKnight, a freshman special education major, believes that if the student can’t make it to a class, they can’t make it.

“I do not like the idea that if a student misses a certain amount of classes, they could receive a deduction of a whole letter grade,” McKnight said. “I also am not in favor of a universal university attendance policy. I like how some teachers don’t care if I attend classes or not.”

Another student knows realistically

students will have to miss some classes and there should be built-in days to make up for that.

Josefa Martinez, a freshman athletic training major, does not support any attendance policies.

“We should be able to manage our time accordingly,” Martinez said. “I think there should be more like five absences for the whole semester.”

While the teachers set the attendance policies, Maule wishes that students would consider going to their classes regardless of the policies.

“Students should think of it like spending their money every time they go to class, and then they would go to class more,” Maule said. “For some teachers, there may be a reward or a penalty for going/not going to class.”

Some professors do reward students going to class by giving points to students for showing up.

There are still other professors who deduct a certain amount of points or will drop a letter grade if the student does not show up for class.

Maule deferred excused absences to the teachers but said that “students should get out of their mind, ‘excused.’”

If a student misses a class, the student could really miss something important or essential to the class.

Students’ opinions on the attendance policies were discussed with Maule.

“When you choose something there are always a positive consequence and a negative one,” she said.

This means that the responsibility for this choice ultimately lies with the student.

“When you don’t give credit to those

who come, you hurt two groups of people: the ones who come and always try their hardest and then those who cannot show up to a single class take the tests and get a high grade,” Maule said.

Maule explains that, in the classroom, there is more to it than just getting information.

The full classroom experience is about both sharing and communicating information that cannot just be found in a textbook.

Students question the varying attendance policies professors provide (Clipart.com).

Stroll shows off Terre Haute’s long history

Shawntale Jones Reporter

Marilyn Bisch

Honors and classical studies professor

This past Saturday morning, Indiana State University’s very own Honors and Classical Studies professor Marilyn Bisch hosted a stroll through Terre Haute.

The stroll gave all those who participated the background on ISU and certain areas throughout Terre Haute.

The tour began at 11 a.m. in the HSMU building, taking off through the fountain, through the old quad, hitting Wabash and taking a brief stop at the

Vigo County Library.

Bisch explained the history of the area where Dreiser Hall and Tirey Hall stand.

She also spoke on the Cunningham Library, which used to be where the Erie Canal stood. Before 1960 Terre Haute was used as a source of transportation.

Wabash Ave., which used to be called the Old National Road, and Seventh Street were the main highways for western settlers traveling to places such as West Chicago and New Jersey.

The native quad area, which is where Dreiser Hall is located now, used to be filled with homes and outhouses similar to where University President Daniel Bradley and wife Cheri currently reside on campus. The concrete boxes you see walking around campus were the sewage passages back in that time. Once the work for modern Terre Haute began in 1960,

workers began using them as storage for electrical wires.

Recently the University built new allfemale dorms. The architecture of the dorms is brand new but Reeve Hall was actually thought of and built a long time ago. They were actually located where Federal Hall stands today. The all-male dorms were built near where Dreiser and Stalker Halls. The walkway gates located across the street from the Federal Hall are from the previous building of Reeve Hall.

Federal Hall building was once a wellknown post office in Terre Haute.

During the tour Bisch also explains that Tirey Hall used to be the student recreational center.

It had things like a pool, workout room and game room. With all these rooms there wasn’t much room for students.

This caused them to have to hang out

underground.

The underground room is located under the grassland located between Tirey Hall and the Controller’s Office, right under the trumpet statue.

Once reaching the library, participants were told that the Library was in fact the old Riley High School.

Jeremy Young, a freshman business administration major, found the information from the tour very insightful.

“I’m actually learning quite a bit from this tour,” Young said.

Lisa Hathaway, a junior with a double major in dietetics and Spanish, knows a lot about ISU but still enjoyed going on the stroll through campus.

“I did in fact did know [a] majority of the information,” Hathaway said. “I just enjoy the teachings from Bisch and hearing the stories about Terre Haute.”

Grammy-Award-winning artist to perform at Indiana State Libby Roerig ISU Communications and Marketing What do Whitney Houston, Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Luther Vandross, Chaka Khan and Vanessa Williams have in common with Indiana State University? Jason Miles.

The Grammy-Award-winning pianoplayer, artist and producer — and Indiana State graduate — will visit Terre Haute and perform in concert on Oct. 15.

In addition to working with some of the biggest names in music, Miles has racked up credits as a musician, composer, producer and sound engineer and has been called the “Quincy Jones of Contemporary Music” and a “true musical visionary.”

Miles, however, is humble about his accomplishments. To him, it’s all about the music — and love.

“I am most proud that I’ve been able to make a living at this for 42 years and believe deep down that I have made a difference in the lives of other artists,” Miles said. “I’ve been and done things that one can only dream about, and I’m still trying to get to the next space. I have

my bucket list, and it still has plenty of room in it. I’m also proud that I’ve been with this great woman [the former Kathy Bennett] that I met at ISU for all these years, and we’re still going strong.”

Miles’ visit to Indiana State will be a sort of homecoming for the New York native, who finished his coursework in December 1973.

For the concert, Miles will be joined by Indiana State music faculty and a guest from DePauw University at 7:30 p.m.

Oct. 15 in the recital hall of the Landini Center for Fine and Performing Arts. The event is free and open to the public.

The set of songs will include those that have been important during Miles’ career.

While on campus, he will spend time with the School of Music, music business classes, jazz ensemble, jazz combos, individual composers and possibly the technology for musicians class, said Paul Bro, professor and director of Indiana State’s School of Music.

“I’ll try and let the students know that life is about always learning and acquiring knowledge, and as Pavarotti said, ‘Forever a Student.’ I’ll share some

wisdom that my mentors taught me and make it an enjoyable experience,” Miles said.

The other Miles — Miles Davis — remains a key fixture in Jason Miles’ career, and his 2005 album “Miles to Miles” pays homage to the legend. At the same time, Miles is always looking forward and continuing to collaborate with other artists.

“I came back to NYC from Indiana, because it was my goal to work with Miles Davis. It’s a long story how I got there, but he was someone who life actually revolved around and his influence and vibe were so great, that it is hard for anybody who worked with him to say he wasn’t one of the most important artists they or I have worked with,” Miles said. “Luther Vandross, Ivan Lins, Suzy Bogguss were also very important to me. I’m now working with an amazing trumpet player named Ingrid Jensen, and we have a new band and new album called ‘Kind of New.’ It’s a very forwardthinking look into jazz.”

With such a long tenure in the music business, Miles has witnessed significant changes — the biggest being technology.

“When I started to get into making music with electric instruments, you really needed a certain skill set to make the music and make it believable. That’s why a lot of artists and producers wanted to work with me — I had a humanistic approach to the technology,” he said.

While these advancements have opened doors for some, it’s also created a lot of noise, Miles said.

“When the genie was let out of the bottle, it gave many with limited ability the same access as seasoned pros to the marketplace, and it has cluttered up the works so great music and artists are harder to discover and know about,” he said.

Preparing for the trip back to Terre Haute provided Miles with an opportunity to reflect. So, what would he tell a younger Jason Miles, circa 1970?

“Don’t cut class! I would say, though, be patient and see what really interests you and what your strong points are,” he said. “I found my way during my third year when I really discovered how much I liked subjects like folklore, literature, creative writing. The professors I studied with really helped and were inspiring.”

CGI staple a hindrance to Hollywood Why FX continues to wow audiences Remember when “Star Wars” wasn’t the laughingstock of the nerd world?

Before the prequel trilogy reared its ugly head, “Star Wars” was seen as one of the greatest film sagas ever.

I suppose it still is, but only in regard to moneymaking; the series Columnist has retained none of its original artistic integrity or splendor.

A large part of this turn of events was the downright gratuitous amount of CGI they used when making the three prequels.

This is not to say that CGI is not appreciated in concept; but its overuse made many scenes look rather odd and, frankly, have not aged well.

For those of us who remember a time when that was not the standard, take heart.

For J.J. Abrams was one of the disheartened fans, and is endeavoring to avoid the same mistake.

Yes, J.J. Abrams is specifically avoiding CGI as much as possible and making a concerted effort to bring back the old FX style of special effects and actual constructed sets instead of the green screen.

Jake Porter

For those of you not in the know, FX effects are the old-school physical type of special effects, such as the make-up that makes actors look like zombies or the geysers of blood in a Freddy Krueger flick.

In the case of “Star Wars,” good examples are the aliens from the original trilogy and the space ships.

Rather than using CGI for the flying and ship battles, George Lucas and company made cardboard models on strings that they would fill with gunpowder for the crash scenes.

The real question is just how dedicated is J.J. Abrams to this return of the golden age idea?

After all, many filmmakers use CGI almost exclusively these days simply because it’s cheaper than paying for all the sets, costumes and screen time for actors.

“Star Wars Episode VII” actor Oscar Isaacs said J.J. Abrams is so invested in this ideal that he has hired several hundred people to dress up as Stormtroopers for the marching and battle scenes.

Something many people mocked and criticized George Lucas for is that in the prequels they merely scanned one actor in the clone trooper outfit and then quite literally copied and pasted thousands of him to fill up scenes.

Admittedly, that does mean that they were genuine clone troopers, in a sense.

I couldn’t be happier with this idea. I appreciate CGI when done properly — see the first “Sin City,” “Dragonheart” and “Guardians of the Galaxy” for examples — but overuse can easily make a good film seem bad and a mediocre film worse — see the second “Sin City,” Ang Lee’s “Hulk” and “Machete Kills.”

Before I came to ISU I was originally going to study at a school in Pennsylvania that specialized in FX effects.

One of the main reasons I didn’t end up there was that it costs so much to learn all the tricks of this trade, and that trade was slowly dying due to CGI. My hope is that if “Episode VII” does well — in the critical sense because let’s not kid ourselves, this is going to make copious amounts of money — that it will encourage other filmmakers to put effort into their work again and go for the older FX. I’m not being prejudiced in this either; FX is just plain better than CGI at some things.

Take horror films for instance, nearly all big-budget horror films avoid CGI like the plague and stick to FX. This is for three reasons.

Their strangeness makes the viewer uncomfortable, which is the whole point of scary movies.

The first is that CGI doesn’t age well and will usually look silly in three years’ time.

The second is that, with the exception of the monsters themselves, CGI is unnecessary for gore scenes, since few things are cheaper than molded latex wounds and scars and food-colored corn-syrup blood.

The final reason is that FX monsters have the advantage of the uncanny valley.

Go watch the first “Fright Night” film from the ‘80s. The makeup makes all the vampires look like someone welded eyeballs to a pigskin mask and fused it to the actor’s face with plastic.

In short, they look downright bizarre and creepy. However, that first time is absolutely terrifying because the vampires look so otherworldly.

Their strangeness makes the viewer uncomfortable, which is the whole point of scary movies.

That kind of thing just doesn’t work with most CGI films, and it’s because of the materials used for the FX effects.

I don’t know if J.J. Abrams’ version is going to be any good; after all, his Stormtroopers are apparently chrome, which is just asking for lens-flare jokes.

His adherence to using FX and hiring a bunch of extras for big scenes instead of just phoning it in gives me confidence not just in his film, but the future of Hollywood in general.

Halloween horror films: story vs. gore-y It’s that time of year again. Ghosts are out and ghouls chase us in the street.

That’s right, Halloween is coming. Time to break out all those movies that you watch this time of year: “Paranormal Activity,” “Nightmare on Elm Street” and even the 13th.” But Columnist “Friday what makes these movies so popular?

Is it because they have awesome storylines and great casting or is it something else?

Of course these movies can scare the pants off of viewers. But take a look at some of the most famous horror movies like “Texas Chainsaw Massacre,” “Hellraiser” and even the “Saw” series.

These are riddled with blood, violence and stray limbs. But is all the gore really

Zachery Davis

necessary? Is that what really makes the movie?

Movies are a medium to tell a story. It doesn’t matter how many special effects are in it if there isn’t a good storyline.

Special effects should add to the storyline and give a visual appeal to an already good movie. But that’s not what’s happening with a lot of the horror films recently.

Guess what? All that fake blood and gore is a kind of special effect. It takes more than just a few sprays of fake blood to make a movie interesting.

It can help, of course, but doesn’t mean that a movie should be all blood and guts like “Texas Chainsaw Massacre.” When you look at it, the movie has more gore than plot. The entire storyline consists of this: a group of friends go someplace, they come across a murderer and then they try to escape. That’s fairly simple, wouldn’t you say?

Now let’s compare the gore: someone

gets impaled, another gets cut; others get butchered. That’s quite a bit of gore for such a simple storyline, isn’t it?

After all, all we seem to remember from watching “Texas Chainsaw Massacre” is the different ways people got hurt and how much blood was spilled. That isn’t so exciting.

But some other extremely successful films have little to no gore in them. Take “The Last Exorcism” and “Paranormal Activity,” for example. Both of these deal with demons and are riddled with political and societal messages.

They manage to scare the intended audience without extreme amounts of gore. So again the question is raised: is excessive gore really necessary?

No, it isn’t. So many base how scary a movie is on the gore it contains, when really it’s only the sprinkles on the cake.

The most important part of any movie is the storyline. When we come out of a theater we don’t praise or condemn a

film based on that one scene, we criticize the storyline.

That isn’t saying all movies without gore are good and with are bad. The “Blair Witch Project” is pretty popular among those who enjoy scary films.

It is a found-footage film that documents the tale of three college students who are doing a project in the woods.

There is a minimal amount of blood and violence, but the storyline is extremely basic and is — to put it frankly — boring.

Then there is “The Cabin In the Woods” which is extremely bloody, has a wonderful storyline and is all-around a good movie.

Next time you watch a horror film, think about what it would be like if you took away the gore. A good movie shouldn’t be based on the special effects.

A good movie has a good, memorable storyline.

Hong Kong unrest: an uphill battle The news of the social unrest in Hong Kong has left many feeling uneasy.

Hong Kong is an autonomous part of the People’s Republic of China but has close ties to the Chinese government.

China’s booming economy and rising housing prices are Columnist causing a generational gap in how people feel about the government.

The older generation does not want to change a thing because their investments are finally paying off. Investing in realestate and factories has finally started paying off for the generation that had to deal with a lot of hard times growing up.

College students from all around Hong Kong started a protest that

T.C. Wampler

they want a hand in choosing a chief executive, which is a small favor to ask because a committee of 1,200 proBeijing members choose the candidate for chief executives.

These college students make their demonstrations peacefully so the government will listen to their pleas.

Like all great governments, the Hong Kong CEO declared the protest illegal and started arresting people for speaking their minds.

As the police advanced, the protest grew and the police used other tactics to try and clear the streets. As the young generation of protesters grew in the city, police escalated their force, using tear gas.

The young people are doing this protest day and night, forcing the government to make a decision on what to do.

They are blocking the daily business of shops, government and most of Hong

Kong’s large corporations.

Many blame the protesters for the instability in the area because they are fighting with police and not complying with their orders.

Hong Kong had this battle coming when they decided to use force on a peaceful protest.

More people are hurt and killed in protests when the government tries to intervene and end the protest before the people feel like they have been heard.

There is no simple way to end the protest except to give the people what they want, within reason.

Looking back at the political changes in just the past two years, how many governments were turned upside down because of a protest just like this? Egypt, Wall Street and now Hong Kong have all felt the power of the people when they come together and rally for a cause.

If you ask me there, should be many

more protests to make lawmakers and people of influence take notice that they cannot sweep us under the rug.

I have been told all my life that I am the future of this world and one day it will be my turn to make decisions that impact many.

I do not condone violence toward any sort of law enforcement and I feel they should respect the protesters the same.

Fighting for the right to make the choices about your life and how best to live it is one of the hardest things to do.

These people have concerns about their future much like all of us.

However, they do not yet have the right to have an active hand in what lawmakers say.

They are fighting an uphill battle but have full support from other groups across the globe.

I suspect that this will not be the last politically-fueled protest we see this year.

Keep Calm and Drink Responsibly Event helps educate students about alcohol safety Mariah Lee Reporter With Homecoming and The Walk just around the corner, Indiana State University has begun to prepare students to conduct themselves responsibly.

Student Conduct and Integrity, Public Safety, Student Health Promotions and Student Government hosted an event called Keep Calm and Drink Responsibly.

The event encouraged responsible drinking habits and taught students about the services Indiana State University offers if an alcohol-related incident should occur.

Held on Thursday in Dede Plaza, Keep Calm and Drink Responsibly used fun activities such as policy trivia, drunk goggles and yard pong to help teach ISU students about the effects of alcohol.

The event, created by Lauren Papin, is new to the university and strives to make students more aware about drinking responsibly and being a responsible Sycamore during the week of Homecoming.

Keep Calm and Drink Responsibly also aims to inform students of the services ISU provides like SoberRide, the designated walker program and drinking laws such as the good neighbor policy and ISU policies like Parental Notification.

Kourtney Barrett, associate director for student conduct and integrity, said Keep Calm and Drink Responsibly was a two-part event.

The first part, which took place on Tuesday, held a safety fair in which the program presented general information about ISU services.

Thursday was a more hands-on event that used activities to present the information. During Keep Calm

and Drink Responsibly, students had a chance to take a pledge that states they will be a responsible Sycamore during the week of Homecoming, whether that means being a responsible drinker or a responsible designated walker.

Although the event was welcoming and informative, several students didn’t think it would be.

Alexa Mayer, a sophomore English education major, offered a reason why.

“I think it’s hard when staff members and adult figureheads try to talk to students about drinking. I think it would have been more effective if it was from

the students’ perspective,” Mayer said.

Sgt. Jacque Smith with Public Safety informed students about services offered to them during Homecoming events such as SoberRide and the Designated Walker program. Public Safety also talked about the precautions students can take before drinking.

“We tried to give students tips about how to drink responsibly and to understand how important your actions are before you start drinking [to] affect your outcome,” Smith said.

Although Smith is aware that students

are going to have fun, she hopes that they remain safe while doing so.

“Have fun but be responsible,” Smith said.

Many students were shocked at how little they knew about alcohol.

“People were just not aware how much alcohol there are in drinks, especially in regard to fruity drinks,” Smith said.

Barrett thought the event was effective students in teaching students to drink responsibly.

“If we can reach one student then we are effective,” Barrett said.

‘33 Variations’ launches theatre department’s season Betsy Simon ISU Communications and Marketing Life is short — and messy. It’s the beauty we’re able to create during this short, messy time on earth that is the topic of the Indiana State University theater department’s first play this season, “33 Variations.”

Written by Moisés Kaufman of “The Laramie Project” fame, the play parallels two tales of obsession — ailing musicologist Katherine Brandt’s attempts to unearth Beethoven’s drive to create “Diabelli Variations,” a series of 33 variations of a simple waltz.

“Ultimately, it’s not that Katherine nor Beethoven aren’t people who have left scars on people in their wake, but they’ve also composed things of incredible beauty,” said Julie Dixon, the play’s director and associate professor of theater at Indiana State. “At least in the end of this play, there is grace and some light.”

Cast mates say to bring tissues — and your friends.

“The playwright beautifully weaves these things together in the story — a woman who has ALS, Beethoven and his struggle to finish the ‘Variations,’ the sense of encroaching time. I just thought it hit some notes that I had not heard before, and it really touched me,” Dixon said. “There are still moments at the end — even though, of course, I’ve become more familiar with it [through production] — where I just start crying, because it’s so compassionate.”

Zach Van Meter, a senior theater arts major from Attica, taps into his character, Beethoven’s assistant

Anton Schindler, by being able to relate to their shared qualities.

“Every person is a number of things,” Van Meter said.

“For me, my character is mostly a caretaker, and there have been times in my life when I’ve had to take care of people I love, so it’s not difficult for me to access this character.”

Dixon describes the real-life relationship between Beethoven and Schindler as “remarkable,” that Schindler worked without pay and endured much mistreatment at the hands of the composer.

“For Schindler, the payoff is the music — the beauty of what it is that Beethoven is able to compose,” she said.

For Jessica Hall, who plays Brandt, it’s harder to relate to her character, a woman battling ALS ... and her daughter.

“She’s really an amazing person. Katherine is so deep on so many levels, and trying to connect with that, it’s hard as an actor. You really have to cling to the things that you do connect with,” said Hall, a junior theater major from Beech Grove.

A scene known as “the exam” is Hall’s most difficult to portray: There’s no dialogue as Katherine has medical scans performed on her chest to see how far the disease has progressed. It’s a symbolic opportunity for the audience, too, Hall said.

“It’s basically one of the only looks we get to see inside her in the first act and how much this is really affecting her — both physically and emotionally — how it’s tearing

her down,” Hall said.

Katherine is comforted by Beethoven’s music, though.

“He is my solace in this scene, he gets me through it and helps me breathe,” Hall said. “[The moment] shows she really has this connection with Beethoven and the work that he does.”

With such heavy themes as death and dying, there are moments of levity and romance.

“It’s not a major part of the play, but there’s a really nice love story. My character isn’t involved in it, but I like it. I think it’s really cute, and the two actors we have in it are very good,” said Simon McNair, a junior theater major from Terre Haute, who stars in the role of Anton Diabelli, the composer of the waltz on which Beethoven based his variations.

Dixon first read the play two years ago when she was researching a piece for a student to perform at a festival.

“I thought it was just a beautiful play. I really connected to the ideas of what you sacrifice to follow your passion, the things that you give up to pursue something that means so much to you, the idea of racing against time, never feeling like you ever have enough time to finish what you want to do,” she said.

“33 Variations” plays 7:30 p.m. Oct. 16-18 and 4 p.m.

Oct. 19 in the university’s New Theater. Tickets can be purchased at the New Theater box office, 536 S. 7th St. The box office will be open noon-4:30 p.m. Oct. 13-17.

‘Tusk’ takes on a new extreme

Kylie Adkins Opinions Editor

Kevin Smith’s “Tusk” is a movie that really defies some odds. It’s absolutely ridiculous concept takes place in Canada and was originally developed as an idea during SModcast, a podcast that Smith and Scott Mosier co-anchor. The two were merely joking about a supposed real-life experience.

I will only mention the details made clear in the trailer, but if you don’t want to take the chance, this is your spoiler alert.

“Tusk” takes the unconventional concept and runs with it. Wallace, a podcaster played by Justin Long, travels

to Canada to interview the “Kill Bill Kid” for his podcast. Upon arrival, he discovers the Kill Bill kid has committed suicide. Wallace finds a new person to interview, a man named Howard Howe played by Michael Parks, who wishes to share his stories before he passes. While telling Wallace the story of how he was saved by a walrus, Wallace passes out.

Howe then starts turning Wallace into his old walrus friend, Mr. Tusk.

The film not only features Justin Long and Michael Parks, but also Haley Joel Osment, Genesis Rodriguez and Johnny Depp, credited as Guy LaPointe.

The interesting take on the birth of this movie is that it was initially featured

on a podcast and used Twitter to develop and build hype.

Opening in 600 theaters across the country and only using $3 million to produce, the movie is struggling to make that money back.

Good things will come from “Tusk” though. Smith now has funding to create “Clerks 3” as well as a spin-off movie called “Yoga Hosers” featuring Depp, Smith’s daughters and Canadian antiheroes.

Since its release, “Tusk” has encountered varied reviews.

Many people thought the movie dragged on a bit during the detective piece, which is understandable, but

Smith was just letting Depp do his thing.

It’s strange: the movie can drag on and it’s startling, but for horror fans, I think this movie is especially fantastic.

It is an awesome fusion of horror and comedy. Smith masterfully defuses tension with humor and then slaps you in the face with shock.

I was constantly surprised during the movie and I personally would pay to go see it again.

This movie will probably never achieve true popularity, but it might live on as a cult classic. It takes a certain amount of perseverance to get through the dry parts, but it pays off during the moments of shock.

PAW brings weekend events to campus Geoffrey Koester Contributor

As an effort to increase student satisfaction and keep students on campus over the weekend breaks, Indiana State University’s Department of Campus Life created the initiative Programs All Weekend, PAW. Every weekend there are several programs planned to keep students on campus rather than away from it. This past weekend, PAW hosted “Chalk It Up,” allowing students to decorate campus sidewalks with chalk art and “Sycamore Connections” described as “speed-friending” to help students meet their peers.

Ellen Malito, a 2006 graduate of ISU, came back to the school last semester when PAW was created to serve as

the Associate Director of Weekend Programming within Campus Life. Her position is brand new and she is tasked with creating programs on the weekends to keep students from going home or to other cities. Malito has help this semester as the initiative expands.

PAW now has eight paid Program Assistants who are in charge of hosting specific programs throughout the year.

Program assistants also lead small groups of the State Street Team, a large group of student volunteers who help with programming and advertising during the week. Involvement in the street team is constantly growing.

Junior marketing major Tisha Langford recognizes the importance and value in weekend programming but admits she has not always been aware of

the options available to her.

Now Langford is one of the many students helping to support the program initiatives as a member of the new street team. Since this team is primarily responsible for advertising, Langford is able to apply her marketing major and gain experience.

“I’m really glad to have so many people involved, they all bring different backgrounds and interests,” Malito said.

“I have them working in lots of small groups that change often.”

Malito also has graduate students and student interns working in the Campus Life office to assist her in weekend programming initiatives. PAW is also putting together a list of “featured student entertainers” to have on payroll to pull from when an event needs a DJ or

live music.

At this point in PAW’s history, event attendance ranges from 75 to 100 students on average. PAW hopes to reach higher attendance numbers by pairing with other student organizations this semester.

In collaboration with the Student Government Association, Residence Hall Association and Union Board, PAW and the university are planning a large music festival in October. “Students are learning to cross Cherry Street,” Malito said.

Thanks to PAW’s efforts to collaborate with other student organizations and gathering a larger team of students within PAW itself, the university community is more aware of the programming options available on weekends.

Believe in the Trees: Sycamores upset No. 10 Northern Iowa Rob Lafary Sports Editor Senior Chris O’Leary was a standout quarterback during his high school days, slinging passes for four years at nearby Terre Haute North Vigo High School.

Nobody in attendance had any clue that the now wideout would revert back to those glory days, especially when the game was on the line.

Trailing 19-14 with just over two minutes to play, O’Leary, a wide receiver who returned to the field after missing the last three games with a toe injury, played possum on a bubble screen toss from senior quarterback Mike Perish and hurled a 38-yard pass to fellow receiver Gary Owens who found the end zone with ease and gave Indiana State the lead for good.

A missed 52-yard field goal by Michael Schmadeke that was shot down by a fierce wind just moments later sealed the deal and No. 25 Indiana State University once again shocked the nation, scoring a 20-19 upset win over No. 10 Northern Iowa in a Missouri Valley Conference clash.

“I was locked in,” O’Leary said of the game-winning trick play. “I saw the safety bite two steps and I just knew that G.O. [Gary Owens] was going to be able to get

it over the top and I just threw it. It’s an awesome feeling when you see your guy out there about ready to make a play.”

“That’s a play that we have worked on for a long time,” ISU head coach Mike Sanford said. “As you know we do a lot of run-adjust stuff and short passes off of runs. Sometimes people cheat on those.

We ran a bubble, we threw a backwards pass. We would have ran that play earlier in the season but we needed Chris [O’Leary] in order to make the play.”

The win not only puts Indiana State at 4-1 for the first time since 2011, but also marks the first time in the program’s history that the Sycamores have beaten a ranked opponent when ranked themselves. Beating a team ranked 10th in the FCS polls just blossoms even more excitement into a program that continues to defy all odds in 2014.

“I’m just really pleased and really excited about a great win today,” Sanford said in Saturday’s postgame press conference. “I told our players that we had to play four full quarters and we used up everything but 20 seconds to find out the outcome.

[Northern Iowa] are a good football team.

They are going to win a lot of games.”

Cross-country battles at Notre Dame’s Adidas Invitational

Kevin Jenison ISU Athletic Media Relations

Sycamore junior John Mascari raced to a third-place finish in the Blue Division of the Notre Dame Adidas Invitational Friday to lead the Indiana State men’s crosscountry team to a 20th-place finish. Senior Nicole Lucas finished 16th in the women’s Gold Division to lead the Sycamores to a 16th-place finish.

“We had mixed results today,” John McNichols, Indiana State men’s cross-country coach, said. “Right from the gun we had problems. I don’t’ think I have ever seen one of our teams get out so poorly.”

The Blue Race featured 24 regionally ranked teams and 10 squads that were nationally ranked, making the competition very tough. The Sycamores were able to knock off many teams from their region and many of the top-10 teams will be in Terre Haute at the NCAA Division I Nationals this November.

“I don’t think it was any fault of our own [at the start], it was our position on the line,” McNichols said. “We were right in the middle and both sides just ran harder.

We got squeezed in. By the time they got to me at 400 meters, John was back in the middle. He had to work very hard to get back to the front and that may have hurt him at the end of the race.”

Michigan won the men’s team title in the Blue Race with 97 points with Brigham Young second, New Mexico third, Florida State fourth and Eastern Kentucky and Southern Utah tied for fifth. Rounding out the top 10 was Colorado State seventh, North Carolina State eighth, Tulsa ninth and Princeton 10th.

The second 10 was led by Penn State followed by Air Forece, Gonzaga, Notre Dame, Penn, Iowa, Eastern Michigan, Butler, Bradley and Indiana State. The rest of the field included IUPUI, Loyola-Chicago, Purdue and Central Michigan.

The Sycamore women also did not have the result they were looking for but did have some positives come out of their finish in the Gold Race.

“We ended up 16th out of 27 teams and the 13th best Division I team,” John Gartland, Indiana State women’s cross-country coach, said. “I thought there were some

positives. Nicole [Lucas] ran very well for us and even though they had to shorten the course a little and times were about 20 seconds off from a normal 5K, most ran what would have been personal best times.”

Grand Valley State, the nation’s top ranked Division II team, won the Gold Race with 56 points. Duquesne was the first Division I team in at second with MinnesotaDuluth, ranked fourth in Division II, placing third. The rest of the top 10 had Pittsburgh fourth followed by Richmond, Northern Iowa, Iowa, Central Michigan and Saint Louis tied for eighth with Xavier of Ohio 10th.

The second 10 was led by Calvin, ranked 10th in Division III, with 300 points followed by Southern Utah, Western Michigan, IUPUI, Oakland, Indiana State, North Central, Murray State, UNC-Greensboro, and Wisconsin-Oshkosh. The rest of the field had Valparaiso 21st followed by Ball State, Wisconsin-Stevens Point, Windsor, Hillsdale, Wisconsin-Green Bay and Western Illinois.

Uradomo ties for 3rd at weekend tourney Sophomore leads team at 2014 Diane Thomason Invitational Kevin Jenison

ISU Athletic Media Relations Indiana State sophomore Marissa Uradomo continued her steady play and finished just a shot from a share of medalist honors at the 2014 Diane Thomason Invitational.

The Sycamore carded a 76 in the final round Sunday at Finkbine Golf Course and finished in a tie for third.

The Sycamores finished eighth in the team race.

“We played better today,” Greg Towne, Indiana State women’s golf coach, said.

“Marissa [Uradomo] lost by a shot and Amanda [Smith] played even and really moved up throughout the day.”

to the front after being shuffled to the middle of the field at the start. The junior regained the front by the halfway point and went step-for-step with Michigan junior Mason Ferlic for the lead for most of the second half of the race.

Butler’s Erik Peterson, Penn’s Thomas Awad, and Purdue’s Matt McClintock were also in the front pack as the race neared its conclusion.

Ferlic made his move with about 500 meters left in the race and Mascari fought to keep up.

He had second down the home stretch but faded in the last few meters as Peterson caught him at the line to finish second.

Ferlic posted a time of 23:15.7 in the 5-mile race while Peterson was timed in 23:24.8 and Mascari in 23:24.9.

Saturday’s victory over No. 10 Nothern Iowa places ISU at 4-1 (Photo by Gary Macadaeg).

In the backfield, Logan played an underrated role in the win, playing his most consistent game of the season. The senior running back rushed for 62 yards on 17 carries including his touchdown that kicked off the first stanza.

Defensively, junior linebacker Kendall Walker and sophomore lineman Conlan Cassidy each recorded nine tackles while the trio of Underwood, junior Mark Sewall and senior Donovan Layne combined for 22 tackles and a sack.

Sophomore Dejuan Lang contributed to the effort with an interception.

Indiana State now looks forward to yet another challenge inside its gauntlet of a MVC schedule next Saturday when the Sycamores host Illinois State on Homecoming weekend.

“John did a good job but he had to work hard for what he got,” McNichols said. “Our gap with our next four guys was pretty strong. We beat some teams in our region and we got beat by a lot of other teams. We have a lot of work yet to do before pre-nationals.”

Taylor Head was the second Sycamore to finish as he was 109th while Tristan Selby was 118th, Levi Taylor 126th, David Timlin 141st, Bryan Horsman 188th, Andrew Kump 193rd, Daniel Swem 194th, and Logan Hambrock 200th.

Austin Stewart ran in the men’s junior varsity race and finished 60th in 26:24.6.

For the Sycamore women, Nicole Lucas got off to a good start and spent the entire race up with the front pack.

The senior posted her best finish at Notre Dame by completing the course in 17:15.7. Her previous best was in 2012 when she finished 25th in 18:17.

The Redbirds, ranked 22nd in the latest FCS poll, are fresh off of a 45-10 upset of No. 9 South Dakota State over the weekend but the Terre Haute gang is more than ready to get ready for another battle.

“It’s more about us than it is our opponents,” Coach Sanford said. “We have to play our game. We have to get better in the second and third quarters but the way we are looking at it — we’re trying to not let our highs be too high and our lows not to be too low. It’s an eight-game conference schedule and today was the first step and a big step.

Next week is going to be huge and it’s yet another step. It’s Homecoming, it’s Illinois State and they are coming to our house.”

Also running well for Indiana State was red-shirt freshman Taylor Austin who was 28th in her first Notre Dame Invitational with a time of 17:35.0.

“Nicole as our number one runner finished 16th and Taylor Austin as our number two runner was 28th which is a very good showing,” Gartland said. “We were really solid there. Our biggest problem is getting our 3-4-5 closer to the front. We have been doing that in practice but didn’t do that today. We did beat some very good teams and this was a great experience for the team.”

Jessi Conley was the third Sycamore runner to finish with as she came in 91st with Sydney Dickerson 111th, Danielle Muse 117th, Natalie Nolting 125th, Victoria Collins 168th, Aleksey Green 172nd and Amy Hicks 200th.

Emily Hamon ran in the women’s junior varsity race and finished 100th in 20:28.1.
