ISU to dedicate new sculpture in Rankin Plaza Joshua Julian Reporter
ISU students will see a colorful new addition to campus today. ISU, along with Wabash Valley Art Spaces, will unveil a new sculpture in Rankin Plaza. Howard Kalish, an artist from Brooklyn, N.Y., was selected from over 150 candidates to create a piece for the dedication. Kalish said he wanted to create a piece that pays homage to Tilson Auditorium. The sculpture, titled “A Chorus of Trumpets,” will be a unique visual experience both during the day and the night. Kalish said that since Tilson Auditorium is in operation at night, he designed the sculpture to respond well to artificial lighting.
The Sycamore Men’s Cross Country team brought home their third MVC title Sunday. The Women’s team placed sixth this weekend.

ISU econ professor to provide local business outlook AUSTIN ARCEO
ISU Communications and Marketing
A Fall update on business and the economy will be presented by the Indiana Business Research Center and an Indiana State University economist on Nov. 16 in Terre Haute. Robert Guell, a professor of economics, will provide insight about the Terre Haute economy, as well as economic conditions in Indiana and the rest of the country, during the Fall Business Outlook at the Holiday Inn on U.S. 41 in Terre Haute. Jerry Conover, director of the Indiana Business Research Center at Indiana University, and others will discuss business and the economy during the event. The Fall Business Outlook is hosted by the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce and co-sponsored by Terre Haute Savings Bank, the West Central Indiana Small Business Development Center and the Scott College of Business at Indiana State. “This new event for area residents provides an updated outlook for business and presents analysts’ views on how economic conditions will unfold,” said Nan-

He will provide an updated forecast, as the economy and unemployment continue to trudge out of the remnants of the Great Recession, and as the economy continues to be influenced by the European financial crisis and has helped spark the Occupy Wall Street protests that have unfolded across the country, including in Terre Haute and other cities across Indiana. “Professor Guell is a well-informed and dynamic speaker who is on top of the local, regional and national economic environments,” Merritt said. Conover and the Indiana Business Center will present business forecasts based on research in their Outlook Tour, which includes Indianapolis and several other cities in the state, Merritt said. This event is now an added stop on the group’s itinerary. Event registration and breakfast begins at 7 a.m. Registration costs $20 for members of the Terre Haute Chamber of Commerce, and $25 for non-members.

A research scientist and executive for a non-profit climate organization will share her perspective on weather and its impact on the future this week at ISU. Heidi Cullen, who previously worked as an expert on The Weather Channel and helped create a television series about climate and the environment, now serves as director of communications and interim CEO for Climate Central, an organization that seeks to help people understand the global impact of climate change, according to its website. She is scheduled to speak at 7 p.m. on Wednesday in Tilson Auditorium as part of the University Speakers Series. “She will give us a science perspective, and we haven’t had a whole lot of scientists,” said Paula Meyer, media relations coordinator for ISU Communications and Marketing, whose responsibilities include booking guests for the speakers series. “She’s very topical: everyone is always interested about weather, and she has great credentials and a high enough profile due to her work at The Weather Channel so that people

History class project seeks to revise tobacco policy Tanner McCarty Reporter
Two ISU students have used a class project to call for modifications to ISU’s two-year-old tobacco policy. Senior art major Kayleigh Wold and junior history major Josie Sutton said they believe segregating smokers into selected areas makes them a target for harassment and that the designated areas are an inconvenience. “I don’t smoke, but I’m friends with people who do,” Sutton said. “I’ve been at the booths and heard the things that people walking by say.” The students are enrolled in professor of history Richard Schneirov’s History 336 class, which covers the counterculture movements of the 1960s. Their assignment is to form a group to address an aspect of society they feel needs changed. Wold and
Sutton’s group is crafting and circulating a petition to change guidelines for smoking on campus. Enacted in July 2009, ISU’s Campus Tobacco Policy prohibits the use of tobacco products on all university owned, leased or operated property except for private vehicles or specially designated smoking shelters. A map on ISU’s Human Resources website identifies nine such shelters throughout campus. The policy also bans the sale of tobacco products on all university property. The president or provost must approve any exceptions to the guidelines, and enforcement depends on the cooperation of the campus community. Students, faculty and staff are asked to report violations to Public Safety by calling 237-5555. Wold and Sutton said they have witnessed people smoking outside of the designated areas and
have seen cigarette butts littering the ground. Wold said she remembered when ashtrays were attached to waste recepticles on campus. The ashtrays were removed when the tobacco policy took effect. The students said they would like to see the ashtrays return, plus a revision of the policy back to the previous guidelines: Smoking prohibited within a 15-foot radius around buildings and ventilation systems. For Wold and Sutton, they said it’s all about preventing discrimination against smokers. “Smokers know the risk of harassment beforehand, but that doesn’t mean that it’s OK,” Wold said. Their petition is accessible on the Web at www.change.org/petitions/ indiana-state-university-modifythe-current-smoking-policy/
ISU’s Campus Tobacco Policy The sale of tobacco products is prohibited on university-owned, operated or leased property. The use of smoking tobacco products is prohibited on university-owned, operated or leased property. The use of smoking tobacco products is permitted in privately owned vehicles and in designated smoking areas on campus. Any exceptions for the use of smoking tobacco products on university-owned, operated or leased property must be approved by the president or provost. Enforcement of this policy will depend on the cooperation of all faculty, staff and students not only to comply with the policy, but also to encourage others to comply, in order to promote a healthy environment in which to work, study and live. Observation of violation of the policy should be reported to Public Safety at 2375555. Follow up for violations of the policy should be referred to the appropriate administrative office for review and action for faculty through the office of Academic Affairs, for staff through Human Resources and to the Dean of Students for students.

‘Great Pumpkin’ a sentimental tradition “Never jump into a pile of leaves with a wet sucker.” This sage advice comes from one of the most intelligent elementary school kids of all time. I am, of course, speaking of Linus Van Pelt. He says it in the classic “It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown!” a TV special I always watch around this time. If you can’t tell from my picture, I am somewhat of a Charlie Brown fan. Although I am not a fan of Halloween, I do have this tradition because I find this TV special to be incredibly funny and wise. For those of you who aren’t familiar with this classic, the special focuses on the Peanuts gang gearing up for Halloween. Their plan is to go trick-or-treating and then head to Violet’s party. Meanwhile, Linus convinces Sally to wait with him in “the most sincere pumpkin patch in the world” and wait for the Great Pumpkin to appear. Linus believes the Great Pumpkin to be a Halloween version of Santa Claus. According to Linus, the Great Pumpkin rises from the pumpkin patch and visits the most sincere pumpkin patches and gives toys to the children. Everyone calls him crazy, including his bossy older sister Lucy. What I find so compelling about Linus is that although everyone made

fun of him and told him he was crazy and wasting his time on a crazy idea, he remained true to his beliefs—even at the end when the Great Pumpkin doesn’t show and Sally yells at him for wasting her Halloween. He went against the grain, and that’s something everyone can relate to. How many times have you had an impulse and acted on it and then were criticized by your peers? Or how about when you had that impulse but didn’t act on it because you were scared about how others would react? I think we all have something to learn from Linus Van Pelt. Lucy Van Pelt is another character from this series that always makes me smile. For the majority of the special, she is bossy, controlling and just down right mean. However, she went out to the pumpkin patch at 4 a.m. to get Linus, brought him inside, took of his shoes and put him to bed. Even though she thinks he is a blockhead, she is still Linus’s older sister and still needs to take care of him. Since I grew up with an older sister who was a lot like Lucy, that makes this moment of the show a lot more endearing. I have never personally enjoyed Halloween all that much. I never liked trick-or-treating or dressing up as a child. I understand that this makes no sense. I have been trying to figure it out for years, and I’m sure there is a psychological answer to it all. However, there are plenty of people of all ages who live for Halloween, and to them I say happy Halloween, be safe and keep an eye out for the Great Pumpkin.

Madonna and Gaga: two divas, same style Imagine yourself thrown back in time to the era of leg warmers and parachute pants, where any time was hammer time and white boys managed to top the rap charts. Yup, it is time to break out the scrunches and pet rocks. The other thing the 80s is known for creating is Madonna. The star is one of the most influential and controversial stars ever to come onto the scene and is still working in the music industry today. She was a hellava-woman who raised a lot of controversy in almost every facet she could find and never strived for any type of normalcy in her public life. Sound remotely familiar? Like Lady Gaga, perhaps? Yes, they have their differences, but they both fit in a sort of musical archetype that makes them obscenely similar. Think about it— one of the reasons Madonna was so controversial was because she encouraged sexuality and created music that was relevant to that. “Like a Virgin” and “Papa Don’t Preach” are blatantly about sex (or the consequences) and how that isn’t the biggest crime in the world. Now we have Lady Gaga who has songs about sexuality, as well. Both women have sung about controversial issues of the times, are women who know how to gain attention
Molly Sefton Sounding Off
and are a part of a bigger movement than just their own personal agenda. That is not where the similarities end. They both got started in the club scene, which isn’t uncommon, but they got there through the use of a glam pop sound. They also both have audiences split. While they managed to achieve hit singles with over 5 million copies sold, they are also artists that you either love or hate. They are so out there in their style that it is hard to lie anywhere in-between. So what is my point? Even in music, psychological archetypes can be seen. How often do you go to a movie to find that the main hero is just like all the rest. He starts out a loner with bad self-esteem and has to overcome this big obstacle to become the hero we all know he can be. This is the same idea, only these ladies incorporate more uncomfortable shoes and excessive amounts of glitter as part of the ambience. They both have a similar archetype and appeal to a similar crowd. They have both been the outspoken, mold-breaking artists during their time. The only thing is they have broken the same mold ... by doing the same things. Don’t mistake me, it takes a lot of balls to do the things that these women have done, and I give them all the credit in the world for the talent and courage they have. But whenever people talk about how revolutionary they are and what they have done for the industry, it is a misplaced praise. They have both had more of a social impact than a musical impact. They just happen to use their music as a vehicle to share those social changes.
“...[Madonna and Lady Gaga] have broken the same mold ... by doing the same things.”
‘13’ has enough thrills, suspense to beat competition In this day and age, it’s getting much harder to pretend to be someone else, so cases of mistaken identity are usually very rare. With today’s technology, you have access to birth certificates, death certificates, endless records of peoples’ lives and fingerprints. I will admit that there have been days where I wondered what it would be like to live in another person’s shoes. I had always thought of the good aspects, like having more money or looking different. Unfortunately, there can be some pretty bad elements to that, as well. “13” begins with a young man finding a mysterious envelope filled with instructions that were originally meant for someone else, another man who is already dead. Being the intelligent person that he is, this young man follows the directions, winds up at a shady house and is put into a terrifying world. The stakes are high and the death toll is even higher. The game is a group session of Russian roulette. Each man is given a bullet and told to spin the chamber of their gun. When the light in the room turns on each man has to shoot the man in front of him. The men who survive this stage move on to round two. Once you get into the game, there is no way to get out unless you are shot during the

game or shot while trying to leave. The prize is three million dollars. As if this whole thing isn’t nerve-racking enough, you also have wealthy businessmen betting on who will survive the game. This movie looks like a great thriller. I can’t imagine the tension that would fill the scenes where the men are told to shoot. In the trailer alone they’re shaking and whimpering, which makes me wonder—what kind of a man would sign up for a competition like this? I can understand that some people would need money, but I don’t know of anyone desperate enough to kill another man or be killed just to get their hands on some. I also have no idea how something like this could go on. It’s obviously a recurring thing if they have a pool of people to bet on it. Someone would have to slip up with the disposing of the bodies and get found out by the police it seems like. I guess that’s why they check the men for surveillance. All in all, I think this looks like a good movie. They’ve done a great job of filling the cast with just enough recognizable actors to counteract all of the relatively unknown ones. Half of the reason I want to see this film is because Mickey Rourke plays a contestant of this game, although he’s been put in against his will. This has enough suspense, thrills, violence and real-world creepiness to look like a hit. I’ve never really heard of a movie with this concept before, and I’m excited to see how it all turns out.
“[‘13’] has enough suspense, thrills, violence and realworld creepiness to look like a hit.”

The stainless steel and aluminum artwork features translucent, tinted urethane elements that evoke the shape of trumpet bells. Mary Kramer, executive director of Art Spaces, said she has long admired Kalish’s work and is thrilled to welcome one of his pieces into the Art Spaces collection. “It should be a design which would respond well to illumination after dark, and which would be highly visible, both day and night. It is my hope that “A Chorus of Trumpets” satisfies all of these requirements,” Kramer said. “Rankin Plaza is an ideal location for a work of this magnitude, close to a main public entrance, adjacent to the Arts Corridor, and in the heart of campus in an area often visited by the public as well as the university community,” she said. “I’m impressed with ISU’s commitment to public art and am excited for all of us to have this unusual and beautiful work becoming part of our city landscape.” Nancy Rogers, the associate vice president for community engagement and experimental learning and the director of the Center for Community Engagement, said the sculpture “is a fitting tribute to Tilson Auditorium, one of the university’s iconic landmarks. Generations of ISU students and Terre Haute residents have attended and continue to attend world-class performances and lectures in Tilson. It is truly synonymous with the performing arts in Terre Haute.” Tara Singer, the assistant vice president for communications and marketing, said the event will be emceed by ISU Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs, C. Jack Maynard. ISU President Daniel J. Bradley; Petra Nyendick, a graduate student and Chris Pfaff, president of Downtown Terre Haute, Inc. and the head of Business Engagement Center at ISU, will also speak. The artist will be in attendance to speak, and there will be a formal ribbon cutting. At the conclusion of the event, there will be a reception. The event is at 3 p.m. on Monday and is free and open to the public. In case of inclement weather, the dedication and the reception will be moved inside Tirey Hall.

Classics fest kicks off in library Jessica Neff Reporter
Both students and faculty were given the opportunity to deliver presentations dedicated to Greek and Latin classes at Classics Fest on Friday. The program was hosted by Cunningham Memorial Library and Eta Sigma Phi, a classical studies honorary society, as well as Marilyn Bisch and Donald Shorter, professors of latin. The event was open to the public, and free food and drinks were provided. The presentations ran from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. and began with a discussion over Parthenon in Greece given by Bisch. There were also student presentations regarding study abroad, specifically to Italy and Greece. “The program started in the spring of 2005 and started with 40 [people] in the audience,” Bisch said. “It increased to 120 [people] last year, and we expect a higher increase this year, especially since the number of classes offered has increased.” The program is now held in the fall to celebrate the Ancient Greek and Roman cultures. There were tables full of books, maps, sculptures, paintings and pictures of Greece and Italy, along with their architecture and art. Retired professor of classics Donald Jennermann also attended. “A great variety of topics have been touched upon by students and faculty,” Jennermann said. “It is a great way to meet colleagues interested in Greek and Latin history.” Senior language studies major Amy DuBois gave a presentation over the Temple of Jupiter Capitolinus, a research project she did while studying abroad in Italy. Senior language studies Jimmy Hubbs also gave a presentation over his study abroad experience to Italy and how to get involved with the program by getting in touch with study abroad program director Janis Halpern. “The presentations were good and relevant, especially in the mythology classes,” Shorter said. “Indiana State University requires all language majors to have a semester of study abroad.” The semester can be waived or changed based on other requirements for classes, majors and minors, Bisch said.

New fitness program makes splash Whitney Neukam Reporter
The Student Recreation Center will offer a new Aqua Zumba class offered every Thursday at 5:15 p.m. Aqua Zumba is very similar to regular Zumba, except the dance routines are performed in the water. “The routines are very similar, except they had to be changed a bit to compensate for the resistance of the water,” Kimberly Monte, director of Group X Fitness Classes at the SRC said. “This is a new thing we are trying, and we have a certified instructor for it now.” This semester, Aqua Zumba classes are offered once a week. If there is enough interest however, Monte said, it will be offered during other days of the week in the future. Anyone with a SRC membership can attend this class, but faculty and
staff must pay more, based on a specified payroll deduction, Monte said. Freshman elementary education major Christa Whitehurst found out about Aqua Zumba classes through her ISU portal, and it caught her attention. “I have always wanted to do Zumba, so Aqua Zumba sounds really cool,” Whitehurst said. “I am trying to find more ways to exercise and stay in shape, and I think this class sounds like a great way to do that.” For those who are interested in Zumba, but are leering about taking their dance skills to the water, the SRC offers regular Zumba classes every day except Friday and Sunday. The SRC offers several other classes as well, such as yoga, step classes, cycling and a new survival class, which Monte said “is based on the CrossFit model that includes old style fitness, such as jumping jacks, pushups and weight training.”
Students interested in learning more about making healthier lifestyle changes can contact Student Health Promotions. This past week was Health Literacy Week, and SHP set up tables by the Information Desk in HMSU to promote their services. With a goal to raise awareness towards health literacy, SHP representatives said they hope to educate and help people make better, more informed decisions concerning their health. SHP also coordinates with the Student Counseling Center’s Wellness Program. The SCC Wellness Program offers nutritional services for students interested in weight management and making healthier lifestyle choices.

The ISU men’s cross country team was crowned champion Sunday at the 2011 Missouri Valley Championships (MVC), making it their third consecutive victory. Head Coach John McNichols was awarded coach of the year for the eighth time in his career. “We knew we were certainly in a position where we could take the meet, and to actually execute it was really rewarding,” McNichols said. The men battled Southern Illinois University for the title, taking first with 34 points to Southern’s 48. Four Sycamore men finished with All-Conference honors. Senior runner Jeremiah Vaughan led ISU with a time of 25:16 and joined only three other men in Sycamore history to earn MVC second place honors. This was his third All-Conference finish. Earning his second All-Conference honor and finishing fourth overall was senior runner Craig Padgett, with a time of 25:19. Padgett led the Sycamores for a portion of the meet before Vaughan caught up with him to take the lead. Junior runner Dustin Betz and junior runner Albaro Escalera claimed the sixth and seventh place spots in a partnering finish, with times of 25:27.0 and 25:27.7. It was Betz’s first All-Conference honor, and Escalera’s second. “It feels a lot better than last year when I finished 11th. It’s nice to get in the top ten,” Betz said. “I think everyone ran well. We were ready to run fast today.” Senior runner Tyler Kent finished fifth for the Sycamores and 15th overall in a time of 25:48. Kent’s finish was crucial to determining the first place finish, McNichols said. “What was really key for us today was that fifth man, between us and Southern, and that was fortunately fifth-year senior Tyler Kent,” said McNichols. “It was his last conference meet of his college career. There is some poetic justice there,
that’s for sure.” Also contributing to the men’s championship team was freshman runner Tristan Selby, who finished 18th overall with a time of 25:54;freshman Drew Gambill, who finished 26th with a time of 26:11; and sophomore Brandon Query, who finished 46th with a time of 26:56. “In the past few meets, we haven’t raced as well as a team, but today it turned out everybody did well,” Vaughan said. “We stuck together and ended up winning.” ISU has claimed six of the eight previous MVC Championships. “It seems like they come by, come in and leave so fast,” McNichols said. “They have set a legacy for the next group, and things look bright for the future.” Next up for the Sycamore men’s cross country team is the Hoosier Invitational on Friday. Only part of the team is scheduled to travel to the meet as the others prepare for the Great Lakes Regional Meet in a couple of weeks in Toledo, Ohio.

The Sycamore women finished sixth Sunday at the 2011 Missouri Valley Conference Cross Country Championships. The women were chosen fifth in the pre-meet poll. “We finished sixth with a number of people beating us that aren’t as good as we are and it was very, very disappointing,” Head Coach John Gartland said. Sophomore runner Jessica Zangmeister, who finished 11th overall with a time of 18:24, just missing MVC All-Conference honors, led the Sycamores. Running second for the Sycamores and 20th overall was senior runner Kacie Klem with a time of 18:41. Klem was one of three women to race in their last conference cross country meet of their career. “It’s bittersweet. I mean, it’s what I’ve been working for all year,” Klem said. “I’m really going to miss the girls. I think being at home makes it a lot harder as well, it really feels like the end.” “Kacie and I race really well together. We’ve run for two years now together, we have a really special bond I think and having her right there, or right in front of me, or behind me or next to me just really helps a lot,” Zangmeister said on the benefit of racing with Klem. Finishing third for ISU and 30th overall was junior runner Andrea Prusz with a time of 18:59. Senior runner Kristy Twitchell finished 38th overall in a time of 19:12, freshman runner Nicole Lucas finished 39th in 19:14, sophomore runner Valerie Burns finished 42nd in 19:18, sophomore runner Kalli Dalton finished 49th in 19:31 and senior runner Kelsie Slater finished 65th with a time of 20:07. “I know we didn’t get out quite as well as we should’ve. I can tell that just from being in it,” Klem

said. “But I know we’ve worked hard, and this team has definitely put forth an immense amount of effort and I’m proud of them regardless.” The women finished with 138 points. This year’s finish joins only two other sixth place finishes of Gartland’s 24 year reign. Gartland’s teams have never placed lower than sixth out of the ten teams in the MVC. “One of the things I look at as a coach is our first meet at Evansville. We had almost eight people run together, run very strong for the entire race, and we looked like a dominating team,” Gartland said. “Since that time there has been a confidence erosion, and I’m not sure if that’s me, if that’s them, or what’s happened. We just have so much more ability than we showed today.” Next up for the Sycamore cross country is the Hoosier Invitational on Friday. Only part of the team is scheduled to travel to the meet as the others prepare for the Great Lakes Regional Meet in a couple of weeks in Toledo, Ohio.

Women’s Volleyball 1-1 in weekend conference play Shelby Young Reporter
ISU vs. Creighton Indiana State women’s volleyball put up a tough fight Friday night in the ISU Arena against the Creighton Blue Jays. The Bluejays swept the Sycamores 0-3, final set scores 21-25, 9-25, and 19-25. Set one did not start out in the Sycamores’ favor, with the Bluejays starting things out with a seven point rally bringing the score to 0-7. Finally, a service error followed with a service ace by sophomore outside hitter Monique Morris put the Sycamores on the board with two. A five point rally by Creighton set ISU back 6-17, but the Sycamores did not give up. A three point rally, consisting of a Morris kill, a kill by junior middle blocker Shea Doran, and a service ace by sophomore setter Loni Mackinson brought ISU to 9. The Bluejays snuck in two more points before ISU came back with another three point rally, bringing them within eight. The Sycamores finished their score at 21 with a Morris kill. A Sycamore error ended set one, 21-25, Creighton. The Bluejays started set two out with a three point rally. A Bluejays error ended the rally, putting the Sycamores on the board with one.

ISU’s final point came from a Bluejays error, the set ending at 9-25, Creighton. Creighton was first on the board again for set three, but the Sycamores came back with a three point rally consisting of a kill by Qualizza and two Bluejays errors. After a tie score at three, broken by the Bluejays, ISU never gained back control. ISU stayed close not letting the Bluejays get a lead of more than five. The Sycamores ended their score with a two point rally including a Morris kill, bringing their score to 19. A service error ended set three at 19-25, Creighton, 0-3 overall. “We weren’t connecting well together, we didn’t have very much energy and one person’s mistake lead into another,” Shelbi Fouty, senior setter, said. Morris led the team with 11 kills. Mackinson lead the team with 24 assists and James lead with 12 digs. ISU vs. Drake ISU took on the Drake Bulldogs Saturday night to wrap up the at home weekend. ISU won the game 3-1, final set scores 29-27, 20-25, 25-13, and 25-17. This made for ISU’s third win in the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC). “We wanted to redeem ourselves from [the Creighton match]. We just wanted to get another conference win to keep us in the running towards the tournament,” said Fouty. Drake was first on the board for set one, but ISU shut them down with a four point rally, including three kills Qualizza, all assisted by Fouty, putting the score at 4-1.. The Sycamores held Drake off with three point rallies after three
point rallies. At 14-9, Drake stepped up and a three point rally followed by a four point rally, tied the game at 16. The tie was broke by a kill from junior outside hitter Morgan Dall assisted by Fouty. Drake stayed in it, tying the game at 17 and breaking the tie to take a short lead. The score tied eight more times; ISU gained back the lead after breaking a tie at 22. The Sycamores broke the final tie of 27 with two Qualizza kills, both assisted by Fouty, ending set one 29-27, ISU. “We knew if we pushed hard we could take it and just keep fighting,” said freshman middle blocker Samantha Kersting. Set two started out with a kill by Doran, putting the Sycamores on the board first. Drake took the lead with a three point rally, followed by another three point rally. ISU fought back to tie the score at 7, but the tie was broken with a five point rally from the Bulldogs, broke by a Dall kill. Another kill by Dall brought the score within one at 16-17, but the Bulldogs came back with another five point rally. ISU’s final point came from a Qualizza kill assisted by Fouty. A service error ended set two 20-25, Drake. A kill by Morris put ISU on the board first in set three, but Drake came back to tie the score at 2. Drake broke the tie but a Qualizza kill tied the score again at 3. The Sycamores then took the lead which they never lost. ISU broke a tie at 8 with a three point rally followed by a two point rally, including two kills by Morris, and a kill by Dall. Drake fought back with a four point rally to tie the game one last time at 12. The Sycamores broke the tie with a 10 point rally, consisting of three Qualizza kills, two Morris kills, and a kill by Fourty, putting ISU in a huge lead of 2212. Drake slipped in one more point before ISU shut them down with a three point rally, including a kill and service ace by Morris. Set three ended at 25-13, ISU. “We were talking to each other and we knew we were going to win this game, we weren’t going to let anything stop us, even if we get an error we are just going to get the next play,” Fouty said. ISU kicked set four off with a seven point rally, including two Qualizza kills, two Morris kills, and a kill by Dall. Drake fought back within two, but ISU stayed in the lead with a 5 point rally. Drake brought the score within three, but an ISU 7 point rally put them in a lead that the Bulldogs could not catch. The rally included a Doran kill, a Dall service ace, a kill by Fouty and a kill by Morris, putting the score at 19-10. A service ace by Morris ended set four at 25-17, ISU, and the night at 3-1, ISU. “I am excited that they are still in the hunt for the conference tournament and they just have so much more to work for,” Head Coach Traci Dhal said. Dall lead the team with 18 kills, followed by Qualizza at 17 and Morris at 16. Fourty lead with 49 assists and senior defensive specialist Kiya James lead with 25 digs. Fouty recorded her 1,600th career assist in the game and now has 1,646 which ranks her eighth on the ISU all-time list. This brings ISU 11-13 on the season and 3-10 in the MVC. ISU travels the Evansville Friday, then travels to Southern Illinois on Saturday. Both games begin at 8 p.m.
