President paints picture of progress Fall 2014 presidential address covers enrollment, achievement RANDY RICCI Reporter On Wednesday afternoon, Indiana State University President Dan Bradley gave his presidential address for the 2014 fall semester in Tilson Auditorium.

He spoke about upcoming projects and events taking place currently on campus.

Robin Crumrin, the dean of Cunningham Memorial Library, was excited to attend the address.

“I came because the president always has something very important to say,” Crumrin said.

The address kicked off with Bradley introducing a select few individuals to speak on behalf of themselves and their departments.

First to speak was Bob Baesler, the president of Indiana State University’s Board of Trustees.

Baesler spoke about the staff and how well they are doing this year, and he also talked about this year’s enrollment.

Next to speak was Bob Guell, a chairperson for Indiana State University’s faculty senate, speaking about the employment of staff and instructors at ISU this year.

Third to speak was Roxanne Torrence, a chair at the ISndiana State University staff council, who spoke on behalf of the faculty and how excited they are to work for ISU and specifically for President Bradley.

Olivia Findley, the president of the Student Government Association, spoke about the many opportunities students here at Indiana State have available to them and mentioned all the involvement they have been seeing from students.

Then President Bradley began his address, titled

“Getting Happy, Celebrating Progress and Collaborating for a Strong Future.”

President Bradley started off with the 4-year graduation rate, which isn’t the best currently.

“It’s something we’re not happy about, but we need to work on it,” Bradley said.

Currently the 4-year graduation rate for full-time bachelor-seeking students is 22 percent.

Enrollment has grown 26 percent at Indiana State since the fall of 2006, and this year they have has the largest graduate enrollment in many years.

He then spoke about community engagement and how student media is thriving.

President Bradley recognized The Color Run, the Flight School for achieving a higher accreditation from the FAA and the ISU football team for bringing the Victory Bell home from Muncie in a win over Ball State.

President Bradley wrapped up the announcement with the wellness program offered to the faculty and spoke about a program that saves faculty $30 per month on their health benefits and $50 if they and their spouses participate.

During his speech, he asked the crowd questions on how they felt about certain topics.

The crowd would text a keyword to a certain number and the results would show up right away.

Beverly Grubb, the assistant to the library dean, spoke about the community engagement at ISU. “Community Engagement is amazing, and it is huge for not only students but also staff,” Grubb said.

Sexual Violence Coalition seeks to prevent assault on campus Myesha Garner Reporter A meeting was held on campus to establish new strategies in preventing sexual violence at Indiana State University.

The ISU Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Coalition met to not only talk about the improvements it has made on campus but to open up opportunities to the public on what else they can do to lower the number of sexual assaults.

Aimee Janssen-Robinson is the assistant dean of students for student advocacy and serves as a part of the Coalition.

“The Sexual Violence Coalition is a collaborative effort by concerned Sycamores to bring the seriousness of this problem to the forefront on the Indiana State University campus,” Janssen-Robinson said.

“Our goal is to reduce sexual assault risks and affect attitudinal and behavioral changes through meaningful education programs, prompt and compassionate response to incidents of sexual violence

because they chose to continue after a person said no.

Other members at the meeting agreed upon new methods that could be brought to the campus, in hopes of bringing about awareness on the topic of sexual assault.

People at the meeting were allowed to come up with lists of things that would get everyone more active in the prevention of on-campus sexual assault.

When allowed, those who attended introduced ideas involving social media, campus posters and activist groups.

Each idea students came up with shed light on a different aspect that must be considered when dealing with sexual assault.

Data analysis on the topic, bystander action and even male intervention played a role in new ideas to bring about change on campus.

Al Perone is the associate dean of students and attended the meeting.

“I believe if you’re not a part of the solution then you are part of the problem,” Perone said.

Grandson of former Nazi leader to speak at ISU CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center will launch its 2014-15 “Be the Change” film and speaker series by collaborating with Indiana State University to screen the film “Hitler’s Children.”

The presentation is set for 6 p.m. Oct.1 in the University Hall theater, located at Seventh and Chestnut streets on the Indiana State campus.

OPINION BECOMING SIGNIFICANT

Opinions Editor, Kylie Adkins StatesmanOpinions@isustudentmedia.com Editor-in-Chief, Alex Modesitt StatesmanEditor@isustudentmedia.com Friday, September 26, 2014 • Page 4

Interesting events, people make it into the history books When we look at all the things we know of history, something funny happens.

We know about Christopher Columbus, the Crusades and of course Britney Spears, but most of us don’t know the tip of a shoelace is called an aglet. makes a pop Columnist starSo sowhat special that we don’t praise the wonderful contraption that keeps our shoelaces from unraveling? How does something become memorable?

The answer is easy: interest. When we are in the middle of some lecture we don’t care about, we find ourselves dozing and falling out of our seats.

But if we cared, if we were actually interested in the content, then we would become active in the subject because we now deem it important.

After all, some famous stars are discovered just because someone heard them singing on the street. But in the grand scheme of things, not everything stands out.

Only a handful of people and events are remembered in history, and our

Zachery Davis

Instagram pictures about our lunch isn’t one of them. But everything that gets written in our books has been the center of a conversation or a topic of interest.

Why else would we care that some dead guy named Magellan is considered the first man to sail around the globe?

When we think of someone like Britney Spears, we immediately remember a handful of songs and trouble she might have gotten into.

There are quite a few young ladies who looked up to her because she was a pop culture icon. But let’s pick another musician: Gordon Gano.

I bet only a handful of people reading this know who this is, yet I am sure a good portion have heard the song “Blister In the Sun” by the Violent Femmes.

The song has a very catchy tune and has even been arranged for pep bands.

Guess what? It was Gordon Gano who sang this memorable song.

When we hear it “Blister in the Sun” we can instantly sing along, but we can’t name the lead singer because he isn’t on the forefront of our minds — Gano isn’t as interesting as the song itself.

Great. Now we’re interested, so it’s time to become significant. What do we do now? Play hopscotch?

The key to making something or

someone memorable is interest. And the most interesting things are those we think are weird. Lady Gaga, for example, wore a dress made out of meat. Weird, right?

Just because something or someone individualizes himself doesn’t immediately mean that the one silly outfit or song will be remembered forever.

The test of time is another wonderful way to say whether or not something is significant. Just as Lady Gaga had an eclectic taste in style, she has a unique tone to her music.

Why else would it be interesting?

Thirty years down the road we will all still be singing “Bad Romance.”

How does something appease society in order to be remembered? The answer is simple: it spreads its message to as many people and social classes as possible. Even someone as old-fashioned as William Shakespeare knew this, and he wrote his plays with complex language to appease the upper class while using barbaric actions — violence, inappropriate jokes and insults — to make the lower class laugh.

By doing something so simple he was able to bring joy to thousands of people.

He was able to become interesting to

as many people as possible, so he’s still important to this day.

Just because something is important one place doesn’t make it important in another. But even though importance doesn’t necessarily carry from one group to the next, the standards don’t change.

Let’s talk about the American Woodstock. The impact was rather large and we still talk about the message today, and probably for decades to come.

Why? It stands out enough for the story to live on, just like the Spice Girls in Britain.

Just because these two things aren’t as big in the other’s realm, they are still interesting to somebody, and that’s why they are significant.

Violent Femmes, however, only catered to a limited group of people with similar ways of thinking, and a lot of people outside that group were appalled when they heard some of the songs.

After all, not everyone dreams about sex and mental disorders all day, every day.

In order to become and remain significant, one has to be interesting and appease the masses. But they have to do so in their own unique way. If this is done, it will be remembered for far longer than can be understood.

A Young Man’s Guide to College

Power, gentleness key to unlocking refuge Men stereotypically have issues with power.

Whether it is the hunger for power or the abuse of it, we do struggle with it. We’ve learned about it in our history classes when empires fell due to the mismanagement of power. We’ve dealt with bosses who seem to revel in it.

Power is complex in Columnist the ways that conceive and demonstrate it. This is why we need to understand how to properly manage power.

It isn’t a bad thing to have power. Some may have a negative view of the very term, but principally there is nothing wrong with it.

The definition for “power,” according to Dictionary.com, is “the ability to do or act; capability of doing or accomplishing something.” Another definition the website gave was “the possession of control or command over others; authority; ascendency.”

So, instead of thinking of power as a bully with a big stick on the playground

Ben Ramseier

or a suited-up, conniving politician, think of it as a flexible concept. No one has the capability to do everything, but we all have particular aspects of our lives where we do have authority over others.

A politician has the power — or capability — when it comes to legislation, but that politician may be powerless compared to his mechanic when it comes to his car. This powerlessness could be from a lack of skills or resources.

Either way, he doesn’t have the ability or commanding authority that the mechanic has in that given context.

With this understanding, no human is all-powerful, including you.

Since the concept of power inherently includes more than one stakeholder, understanding how to properly wield such a command is imperative.

In “Royal Manhood,” James Isaac Vance writes, “Power by itself is formidable; but power united to gentleness is refuge.”

Let’s explore the first half of that quote.

When Vance said “power by itself,” that meant that power doesn’t account for characteristics like caring and understanding for its stakeholders.

This increases the potential for the one holding the power to lead in a

cold, calculated manner, leaving out the concerns of those being governed by that power. Everyone has preferences and sentiments that should be considered by the person in power.

Power by itself does not adhere to those concerns, which makes it truly formidable and an imposing, fierce command. No one would feel safe in such an environment.

The second half of the quote is much more ideal and hopeful. Power already commands authority, but imagine that authority in harmony with gentleness.

Those who are powerless — or incapable — are already in a vulnerable position, so why only use sheer power to intimidate others?

When implementing the concepts of understanding and gentleness into the equation of power, the people who are being guided by this power will find peace in a leader who is concerned for his or her followers.

Everyone seeks a safe haven where they don’t have to experience unrest or anxiety. Implement gentleness and you will undoubtedly earn true power.

Do you want to know why the jerk boyfriend always loses the girl? It’s

because she finds no peace or refuge in a guy who is always trying to exert dominance over others, including her, and he only cares for that. Ergo, “power by itself is formidable.”

Why is this even important to you, a college guy? First off, if you don’t have the right idea of how power should be demonstrated, then you will eventually be taken advantage of in life — especially work.

Secondly, if you’re a man and eventually want to take on a leadership role sometime in your life — which I hope you do — then you need to understand that to successfully maintain that role you need to include gentleness.

Am I saying you need to be overly cautious and impede progress by catering to every whim? No, definitely not. Gentleness is caring, which also accounts for disciplining with appropriate discretion.

Maintaining a balance between care and power is where refuge and authority lie. But since most men struggle with uniting gentleness with power, remember this: power without gentleness is a tyrant who will eventually end up alone or destroyed.

Watson’s speech epitome of Feminism Recently, Emma Watson gave a spectacular speech for United Nations Women to launch their new campaign called “HeforShe.” This campaign and her speech were about gender equality and she presented probably one of the best speeches to Opinions date on the topic.

Watson talked about Editor the true definition of feminism and how it has morphed into a negative force

Kylie Adkins

synonymous with man-hating.

She defines feminism as the belief that men and women should be treated equally, not that women are better. And she’s correct. It’s hard to tell others you are a feminist because there is a lot of stigma regarding man-hating.

Watson calls for men to come out and support feminism and equality, because men face consequences as well.

The defined gender roles negatively affect everyone, and that is much of the point of feminism.

Once the words “I am a feminist” leave your mouth, you have a target on your back. If you are a woman fighting for equality, I hope you have a tough

skin, because you will be ridiculed and threatened in horrible ways.

We saw this recently with the “#Gamergate” scandal. One woman designs videogames and breaks up with her boyfriend, and suddenly she is the target of death and rape threats.

Shortly after Emma Watson’s speech made its rounds on Facebook, a company called Rantic Marketing opened up a fake website with a fake countdown to when Emma Watson’s nude photos would be leaked. The kicker? The company is completely fake as well. When the time came to release the nudes, the website redirected to another website that called for a complete shutdown of 4chan and

claimed a need for Internet censorship.

While I don’t think people should be releasing nude photos, the Internet also shouldn’t be censored or shut down because of it.

This isn’t a problem with the Internet; it’s a problem with the people who are using it.

Threatening to release nude photos of somebody because they gave a speech over true equality is just as bad as the actual release of nude photos.

It’s using fear to get a point across. The beauty of the Internet is the freedom of the platform. You can put anything you want. We don’t have an Internet problem.

We have a respect problem.

Travel Fair provides deals, discounts to students Mariah Lee Reporter The 5th-annual Travel Fair was held on Thursday, Sept. 25 in Dede II. The Travel Fair is an annual event where students and staff can meet business partners of Indiana State University and learn about the many deals, discounts and resources that are available to them.

Holiday Inn, Candlewood Suites, Drury Inn, Enterprise Car Rental, Fast Park Relax and Altour Travel Agency were present at the fair on Thursday.

The offers that hotel businesses want students to know about are that you can receive discount hotel stays for parents at Holiday Inn, Candlewood Suites and Drury Inn. “We are here today to promote ourselves as a preferred place for students and their parents, as we have special discounts and rates for them,” said Stacy Mertz, director of sales from Holiday Inn and Springhill Suites.

According to Chad Burton, business rental sales executive at Enterprise car rental, there are two rental cars reserved on campus for students to rent at a discount of five dollars an hour or thirty-five dollars a day.

This event, like many Indiana State events, had free food and prizes to be won. Like at the Library Extravaganza, students were given a paper passport and after they talked to a business representative at a booth, they were given a stamp.

After students obtained all the stamps, the passports were entered in a raffle.The prizes that could be won were all either provided by ISU business partners or the university.

Janice Karn, who attended the event, said the prizes included free night stays at the hotels, free car rentals, free lunches at Generations, free parking passes, golf jackets and a basketball gift basket provided by the president’s office.

Karn called them “Money-saving-like prizes.”

Miranda Ramos, a freshman theatre major, said that she would definitely use the discounts and the information she learned about at the fair.

The Travel Fair is held every year to inform students and staff of the discounts and resources that are available to them that many don’t know about.

“A lot of students don’t realize that they can use these vendors for personal use. It’s great discounts … that the Freshmen Nathan Kasper and Miranda Romos learn staff, faculty and students can all use,” said Teresa Sale, about businesses at the Travel Fair on Thursday Sept. 25 (Photo by Larry Garland).

‘Henrietta Lacks’ author will speak at ISU this fall Last year, Terre Haute and Indiana State University met surviving family members of Henrietta Lacks, whose cells were taken for medical research without her knowledge or consent.

This fall, the community will get a chance to meet the author who spent 10 years uncovering the truth about Lacks’s life, death and ultimate “immortality.”

The University Speakers Series at Indiana State, which brought two of Lacks’s great-granddaughters to campus in 2013, will feature Rebecca Skloot, whose book “The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks” has spent more than three years on the New York Times bestseller list.

Selected as a best book of 2010 by more than 60 media outlets, “The Immortal Life” is being translated into more than 25 languages and is being made into an

HBO film produced by Oprah Winfrey and Alan Ball.

Indiana State is among more than 100 universities, schools and communities that have chosen “The Immortal Life” for their common reading programs.

Those who have heard Skloot speak say she employs the same engaging, straightforward language she uses in her writing, and that she makes complex issues accessible to diverse audiences.

In “The Immortal Life,” Skloot tells the story of Lacks, a young black woman who died of cervical cancer in 1951 and left behind an inexplicably immortal line of cells known as HeLa. Henrietta Lacks’s cells contributed to scientific advancements as varied as the polio vaccine, treatments for cancers and viruses, in-vitro fertilization and the impact of space travel on human cells.

The story is also about Lacks’ children, who were later used in research without their consent and who have never benefited from the commercialization of HeLa cells, though the cells have helped biotech companies make millions of dollars.

Though best known for “The Immortal Life,” Skloot has written more than 200 feature articles, personal essays, book reviews and news stories for such publications as The New York Times Magazine; O, The Oprah Magazine; Columbia Journalism Review; Seed; New York Magazine; Slate; Popular Science and the Chicago Tribune.

She is co-editor of “The Best American Science Writing 2011” and has worked as a correspondent for NPR’s “Radiolab” and PBS’s “Nova ScienceNOW.” She was named One of Five Surprising Leaders

of 2010 by The Washington Post.

Skloot holds a bachelor’s degree in biological sciences and a Master of Fine Arts in creative nonfiction.

She has taught creative writing and science journalism at the University of Memphis, the University of Pittsburgh and New York University.

She is founder and president of the Henrietta Lacks Foundation. She is working on a new book about the human-animal bond from her home in Chicago and remains in close contact with the Lacks family.

Her presentation at Indiana State is scheduled for 7 p.m. Oct. 20 in Tilson Auditorium. A book signing will follow.

All University Speakers Series events at Indiana State are free.

Sycamores hope to sustain WEEKLY PLAYBOOK: momentum against Liberty Sunday slate showcases Rob Lafary Sports Editor 2014 marks the first time in two years that Indiana State football has started a season at 2-1, but it remains to be seen if this year’s Sycamores can repeat the success previous teams have had when beginning the year over the .500 mark.

The question looms even more after a bye week has hushed most of the buzz surrounding the Terre Haute group after its upset win at Ball State two weeks ago, leaving head coach Mike Sanford wondering how his squad will respond when the Sycamores host No. 23 Liberty this Saturday at Memorial Stadium.

“I’ll be honest … I don’t know,” Sanford said when asked about if his team has the ability to deal with success. “To me, the only thing that can make me think they can do it is if they go out and prove it.

[I feel] nervous and worried about it but that is my job to do that. I kind of had this whole ‘prove it’ mentality from the beginning. We’ve got to be able to prove it.”

But don’t let Coach Sanford’s concern about whether his team is ready to shed

the premature hype fool you.

The second-year head coach is extremely pleased with how the beginning of the year has progressed and even goes as far as to say as this team could easily be 3-0.

“I’m pleased with where we are,” Sanford said last week in an interview at Memorial Stadium.

“What I’m really pleased with is how hard we’ve played. We’re playing hard and we’re playing together. At the same time, I feel like we could actually be better. Had we scored twice in the red zone at IU, we would be 3-0,but don’t get me wrong, I’m happy with 2-1. The standards are high here, but I think the key is what we do from here. It’s an ongoing thing.”

Having been challenged already this year, the Sycamores will not be in unfamiliar territory when the ranked Flames come to town this weekend.

several NFC slugfests Zach Rainey Reporter Another slate of great games is ahead of us this Sunday including a divisional matchup, a team that’s undefeated because of their ability to come back from a deficit and America’s team on primetime.

Green Bay at Chicago Here’s this week’s big divisional matchup in the NFC. The Packers aren’t doing so hot at the start of the season, and they have struggled so far. It starts with the running game. Eddy Lacy has been a non-factor in these games and has actually scored more points for opposing teams than he has for his own so far this season. The passing game hasn’t done much either, averaging 210 passing yards per game. When is the last time Aaron Rodgers has been this bad? He never has been. The year Rodgers became the starter he averaged 252 yards per game and hasn’t averaged fewer since.

“Da Bears” limped their way to the finish line Monday against the Jets.

Although they did win that matchup, they lost even more players in their secondary.

The Bears secondary is without a doubt the thinnest in the NFL right now. The Packers are sixth in the NFL against the pass; so look for the Bears to give Matt Forte a good amount of touches this week.

At the end of the day, I like the Packers in this one. I think Aaron Rodgers is too good to keep having performances like he has. Packers win 28-21.

Philadelphia at San Francisco Coming into the season, I didn’t think the Eagles would be that good. I didn’t think Nick Foles would follow up last season when he threw 27 touchdowns to only two interceptions. In the first half against Jacksonville week one, it looked like I was right. He then led his team to a second-half comeback from down 17 and ended up doubling up the Jags to win 34-17. In week two against the Colts, the Eagles went on to score 24 second half points to nab a 30-27 win. Last week

wasn’t a comeback, but Foles helped his team retain the lead. The Eagles have one of the best offenses in the NFL. Chip Kelly relies on speed and with LeSean McCoy and Darren Sproles; that seems like it will never be a problem.

The 49ers are coming off of a loss to Arizona. The key in that game was Colin Kaepernick not having his security blanket Vernon Davis. Michael Crabtree is having a good year and is proving to be one of Kaepernick’s favorite targets. To me, the weakness for this team is the run game. Frank Gore is getting older and has no doubt lost a step or two along the way.

I think this is the week the 49ers start to put it all together. This is a statement game for both teams. The Eagles are looking to prove they are legitimate and the 49ers are looking to prove that they shouldn’t be taken lightly this season.

The 49ers win 24-21.

Saints at Cowboys “America’s Team” gets the primetime slot this Sunday night against the Saints.

If you like offense, this is the game you want to see.

Both teams are lousy on defense but they can both score points. Cowboys running back DeMarco Murray leads the league in rushing and if Dallas’s offensive line can give Tony Romo a little more time, we’ll start to see more hookups with Dez Bryant. The story in the news this week for the Cowboys is that defensive back Morris Claiborne got the news he was being demoted and that Orlando Scandrick would be starting in his place coming off a game-winning interception against the Rams.

Although the Saints just got their first win last weekend, it hasn’t been the fault of the offense. The Saints are in the top ten in the NFL in every offensive category.

Their defense is a different story; while they are good against the run, they are 29th against the pass and 21st in points allowed. I think the Saints will come away with this one in Dallas. Saints win 35-28.
