Fewer women achieving full professor status Lacey Brinegar Reporter
ISU is using data presented in the Council on Diversity’s annual report to determine why fewer women are achieving full professorship. “This year, there is a particular energy to explore what is at the root and what it means,” said Joshua Powers, council co-chair. “We have some evidence that there may be some challenges in regards to women in full professor ranks.” Since the data are specific by college, there are colleges that have a greater equality of the genders than others. The Bayh College of Education has seven full male professors and seven full female professors. Conversely, the College of Arts and Sciences has 57 full male professors and 12 full female professors. Additionally, the data shows that at the assistant and associate professor levels, the overall ratios between the genders are fairly close, unlike the full professor ratio.

DIVERSITY/FROM PAGE ONE “In the past year, two-thirds of new faculty hires were females,” Powers said. “The campus is a leader of the hiring of women, so now we are looking at retention and insight to explain.” The Council on Diversity consists of 21 members convened by President Daniel J. Bradley in 2008 to assist in developing policy related to diversity issues. The Office of Institutional Research, which collects and disseminates data, and the Office of Academic Affairs helped the council gather information for the report. Academic Affairs is currently working on an initiative to diversify ISU faculty through skill development and resource support. Diversifying faculty is also part of ISU’s “Pathway to Success” strategic plan. This year’s statistics indicate that gender discrimination has not been a prevalent issue in determining who is hired at ISU, according to the council, but perhaps point to other reasons for the smaller number of full female professors.

Strategic plan presentations today through Friday The Indiana State Strategic Plan Initiatives will be reviewed this Wednesday through Friday in the State Room in Tirey Hall. The sessions begin at 12:30 p.m. Wednesday—a schedule can be found at http://irt2.indstate. edu/ir/assets/files/splan/rd/ Schedule-Init-Rprts112011.pdf. The Strategic Plan Goal Chairs and the President’s Cabinet will be reviewing the work of the teams. Thirty-six teams will present their work over these three days marking the half way point of the ISU Strategic Initiative efforts. While this is primarily an internal review, all are welcome to attend.
Regarding minority faculty members in executive and administrative positions, the percentage was 6.6 in 2009 and increased to 10.8 in 2011. Similarly, the number of minority students increased from 18.9 percent in 2009 to 20.7 percent in 2011. From 2010 to 2011, there were 15 minority hires, and in one year, there was a 50 percent increase of minority faculty members, said Powers and Elonda Ervin, another council co-chair. Due to the Opportunity Hires Program, this trend will be able to flourish because of the focus it places on hiring a diverse faculty. The program enables an underrepresented candidate to be considered for a faculty position at ISU, said Powers. “By being informed by this data, we have the opportunity to be a leader in this regard,” Powers said. “We have a fabulously diverse student body and want to benefit everyone with a diverse faculty.”

The Indiana Statesman is published Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, except during exam periods and university breaks, and is published three times during the summer. The Indiana Statesman was founded May 16, 1929, the same year that Indiana State Normal School became Indiana State Teachers College. The newspaper began in December 1879 as the State Normal News. In November 1895, the paper was first issued as the Normal Advance. Members of the ISU community are welcome to take a single copy of each issue of this newspaper. The unauthorized taking of multiple copies, however, may constitute theft, which is a crime, even with free publications. Thefts will be reported to campus police for possible prosecution and/or for other disciplinary actions. The Indiana Statesman exists for four main reasons: to provide the ISU community with news and information, to serve the campus as a public forum for student and reader comments, to offer student staff members chances to apply their skills in different aspects of a news publication, and to give students leadership opportunities.

Statehouse to consider unlawful entry legislation Shortly after finals ended at ISU and we all went home last spring, the Indiana Supreme Court made a controversial ruling. Last May, the courts ruled that citizens did not have the right to resist an unlawful entry by a police officer. The media was shocked; everyone and their brother decried the ruling and its horrible infringement upon individual rights and freedoms. This issue came up again recently when a summer study committee addressed it. Since I didn’t know anything about the case beyond what I’d read in the media, I decided to read the actual ruling by the justices—which was actually pretty easy to read. Not surprisingly, it made a lot of sense. To give some background, the right to resist entry into a home was based on the principle behind resisting arrest. Common law upheld a person’s right to resist unlawful arrest with reasonable force. During the time of English Common Law (which ours is based upon), being arrested carried much higher risks. The ruling cites “indefinite detention, lack of bail, disease-infested prisons [and] physical torture” as possible issues. However, in modern times, these issues are significantly reduced or eliminated. Wrongfully arrested citizens have a whole host of options that did not exist during the original common law. Another concern was that resisting arrest often leads to escalating vio-

lence. This puts both the individual resisting arrest and the arresting officer in danger, leading to more injuries. Also, resisting arrest doesn’t lead to actually avoiding arrest. So, even if the arrest is unlawful, resisting will create more violence without achieving anything. This, paired with the options to redress their unlawful arrest, makes it unnecessarily dangerous. To bring it all back to the case at hand, the situation in the Barnes v. State case arose from a fight between Barnes and his wife. The fight escalated to the point that she called 911 and officers were sent out on a “domestic violence in progress” situation. They attempted to enter the home during the process of investigating the situation and were blocked by Barnes. Special circumstances such as this—referred to as exigent circumstances—do not require a police officer to have a warrant. Domestic violence situations can escalate quickly and others would be harmed if police officers had to wait until violence was happening to interfere. Clearly, the ruling was based on sound reasoning and well intentioned. However, the ruling merely said that individuals may not attempt to prevent an unlawful entry by police officers. This broad ruling could have unintended consequences for other, less appropriate situations. While this ruling may be appropriate for domestic violence cases to protect victims of abuse, it has a wide potential for abuse and is a little scary to think about. Luckily, lawmakers in the Statehouse are also concerned and will be proposing legislation in the next session to narrow the scope of this ruling. The proposed legislation would allow citizens to resist entry from police officers who do not identify themselves in some way.

Lobbyists, corporations working against Americans Michael Laub In the Democrat’s Corner
Today, I want to talk to you about the cancer of our “great” nation that has been turning every politician against the interests of the population. I am, of course, talking about lobbyists, the corruptors sent from the owners of our country. By owners, I mean the corporations. Now that I have given my far left ideas of what a lobbyist is, it is only fair that I actually explain what a lobbyist does. A lobbyist is a representative from a special interest group who tries to influence decisions and ideas of legislators and/or members of regulatory agencies. This system of lobbying was made to allow groups that reside in the United States to get their opinions heard by the politicians. This sounds like a good thing for Americans because it allows policy makers to actually get opinions and viewpoints from large groups of Americans. But like most good things in America, corporations quickly came in to take advantage of it and ruin it for the rest of us. Yes, the rich and powerful of this country did not become the most powerful people in the world by following all the rules, working really hard and being nice. They got there by using their own lobbyists to control the majority of congress or regulatory agencies to get their own laws passed. You might ask how lobbyists can get so powerful and control the political system. Well, they use a variety of illegal tactics to sway the opinion of politicians to add amendments to laws and policies in favor for their interests. This includes the common cash bribes, blackmail, giving privileged information (to allow insider trading), promising to get them reelected and also giving just a “good” time, if you
know what I mean. I mean hiring prostitutes and whores for sex. Everyone knows of the illegal ways of corrupting a politician, but did you know that there are legal ways of corruption that corporations use? Legal corruption is a little more complicated to nail down because it is legal, after all. This includes corporations promising people a job after they get out of their term, giving huge cash gifts after they get out of office and overall anything that is not counted as conflicts of interest to get their interests passed. The lobbyists go and use very obscure language that allows the companies to understand what they can do, but to the casual observer, it is just political jargon that can be misunderstood. The lobbyists and corporations are banking on the chance that congress isn’t even going to read the bills it’s passing in full and miss the opportunity to remove their part. Also, the writers of the bill could just hand off the work to the lobbyists to write the bill for them and present it to congress through a politician they are paying off. This happens more than one would think, and by far one of the scariest things is that the American people have no power to change this with the current system. No matter who they elect or what political action they take, the lobbyists and corporations will have their way in converting congress to their lap dogs. The only way to fix this is to eliminate lobbyists and prevent special interests from interfering with congress, but this would only hurt the people who really need to lobby for their groups. The corporations will find a way to corrupt our government.

Actions speak louder than apathy Erin Friar Polite Society
Although the “Polite Society” column has many aims, the clear objective is to create a group of well rounded individuals. There are many differing definitions of the “well-rounded” person, but what we will focus on this week is a trait that numerous college students tend to throw by the wayside: activity. While examining tasks such as walking, texting and using a library computer, we will see the divide between effective activity and that of its op-
posite. For most students at ISU, walking is the main means of travel. Walking to class, to a friend’s dorm and to Coffee Grounds have become everyday activities. However, the examination of this activity can tell us much about a person’s character. Picture yourself taking a brisk walk to the science building, knowing you are fully capable of making it to class in 10 minutes time. Now, you are not Lighting McQueen here, but people seem to be getting out of your way. The reason for this is simple; you have purpose. Other pedestrians see a certain determination on your face. Guessing you would not be a person to interrupt, they slouch to the outside and let you take the lead on the sidewalk. The key to this activity is speed. Zooming by the slow pokes generally puts you in first place. Another everyday, if not every second of our crazy lives, activity is texting. Whether it is just to say “hey” or to check on the status of Zumba class, texting is one of our main actions. This activity can be heightened by simply being active. Imagine receiving a text which ques-
tions, “What are u doing?” The only missing aspects to make this a grammatically correct sentence are the “y” and the “o” of the word “you.” The inactivity of not taking the time to press those two missing buttons, is frankly, unbelievable. It would literally take a half second of your time and about one centimeter of space to complete this task, with activity. The completion of this shows the person you are contacting that they mean more to you than just one lousy letter, and, above all, discards musings about your extreme laziness. Facebook seems to be the award-winning distraction of youth in America. Status updates, breakups, hookups and many more silly social entities have become the focal point of our procrastination. We’ve all been there; sitting in the library “working” on a paper, when the temptation of Facebook creeps up on us. You abandon the composition that is due tomorrow morning at 8 a.m. for that ADORABLE picture of a puppy someone found on Stumble Upon. To the patrons of the library, you are wasting their time by forcing them to wait on a computer. Not to mention, you cannot take a person staring at baby dogs very seriously. Be active in this task. Get your work done so others can use the public space, and look at little canines on your own time. Between walking, texting and using a public space, there are exhibitions of laziness and determination. The way you appear is directly affected by how you perform these actions. And the effort involved is minimal. Walk faster. Exercise your fingers. And, don’t forget, other people want to waste their time on Facebook.

American Idol has been publically known for years, but the participants of the International Student Organization started their own spinoff three years ago. On Sunday from 7–10 p.m., the International Student Organization hosted “International Idol” in which students were able to display their talents for an audience. Ekow Bentum, graduate student of electronics and computer technology, is the president of the club. “We have 12 students performing from nine different countries,” Bentum said. “Students may perform any talent. We have had participants sing, dance and play drums in past competitions.” Begum Nebol, former president and founder of the program, was in attendance as well. “We want to show domestic students different talents from around the world,” Nebol said. “We have judges from different departments, and there are four winners.” The first winner is a crowd’s choice in which the audience found most entertaining. “There is a first place who receives $100. Second place gets $75, and third place is awarded $50,” Bentum said. Ashley Mack is the secretary of International Student Organization. She helped to put on the show by adjusting lights. “I am excited about the participants,” Mack said. “There are lots of different talent and participants from different countries. Also, the audience seems to really be involved and entertained by the acts.” One act that received much attention from the audience included a Chinese couple performing a traditional Chinese song together. They had a PowerPoint presentation behind them with pictures representing themselves and their life together. The audience applauded them and gave a standing ovation. “We consider American students international as well, and we don’t exclude them from the organization because they are representative of the world too,” Nebol said. “The program is always held in November, and we are always looking for ways to publicize the event.” Meetings for the International Student Organization are held in the International Student Lounge on the fifth floor of Hulman Memorial Student Union on Thursdays at 8 p.m. (More on page 16)

Take Back the Night empowers women, fights against sexual violence JOSHUA JULIAN Reporter

ISU students raised awareness for sexual violence prevention at a rally Tuesday. Take Back the Night, an event that rallies men and women to reclaim the streets and walk through the night without fear, took place in the evening and consisted of many parts, including an information fair and concluded with an awareness march. Aimee Janssen-Robinson, Outreach Educator at Indiana State, helped put the event together and coordinates most of the sexual violence prevention efforts for ISU. “Take Back the Night is planned by the Women’s Studies 450 class, which is taught by Dr. Linda Maule,” JanssenRobinson said. “Indiana State University maintains a proactive stance in the prevention of sexual violence and enforces strict regulations against those found responsible of committing such acts. Sexual violence will not be tolerated. Victims of sexual violence will be provided the active support and intervention needed to foster their continued progress toward academic and career goals.”
Student Health Promotion, Men Can Stop Rape and the Student Counseling Center was present. According to the ISU Women’s Studies department, the number of men who commit violent acts on women is a small percentage of the male population, yet violence against women continues to pervade culture. Silent consent and unawareness allows the negative effects of patriarchy and dominance to permeate our society and produce a culture that accepts, condones and allows violence against women to continue, despite our moral objections. Speakers included Joshua Philips who discussed his book, 1800 Miles Striving to End Sexual Violence One Step at a Time, at 4 p.m. At 5:30 p.m., there was a Resource and Information Fair and a rally in HMSU Dede I followed by the march at 6:30 p.m. Take Back the Night is organized by an alliance of local community service agencies, universities, religious organizations, governmental entities, businesses and private citizens. “If you or your friend is a victim, it is very important that you believe them and support them,” JanssenRobinson said.

Fill’er up: Jam the Bus donates heavy load Katy Karmazinas Reporter
ISU students joined together to help the needy a ton – literally. Donations were brought in during the Jam the Bus took place Tuesday from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Dede Plaza. The goal was to fill an entire ISU Athletic Department bus with food. “I think it really gets the whole campus together for a good cause and thinking of others during the Thanksgiving holiday,” said junior interior design major Kelly Shulman. Shulman also serves on the Union Board Community Service Committee. Jam the Bus is a part of Indiana State’s effort to give back to the community and ease hunger in the Wabash Valley and surrounding areas. This event is sponsored by several ISU organizations, including Hulman Memorial Student Union Board, Student Athlete Advisory Council, Intercollegiate Athletics, Center for Community Engagement, ISU Dining Services and Residential Life. “Jam the Bus is an event we do every year. said Sharon Johnson, Community Service Chair of the Union Board and Jam the Bus Program Coordinator. This marks the fourth year Jam the Bus has taken place. This year, Union Board is having a big push for residential halls to donate, Johnson said. All of the residential halls on campus are competing against each other for a prize. The residential hall that donates the most canned foods will receive a cupcake party provided by Union Board. “Right now, LQ is in the lead,” Johnson said. The entire community was asked to join in on the effort to fill the entire ISU bus with non-perishable food items to help the less fortunate in the Wabash Valley. Faculty, students, staff, alumni and community members were all present. “We go over to Catholic Charities to drop [donations] off at 2 o’ clock,” Shulman said. Freshman psychology major and Miss Indiana State University 2011 Ayanna Sykes said her role in helping with Jam the Bus included everything from help-

I really do.”

Teachers of Tomorrow give insight to education majors Jessica Neff Reporter
Students explored their educational options Tuesday afternoon during “Teachers of Tomorrrow”, an event that educates students on the benefits of majoring in the education field. The “Teachers of Tomorrow” program has been going on for five years. Dr. Denise Collins, associate dean of education at Bayh College of Education, was in charge of the program. “The program is for students who have applied to Indiana State University with an interest in education,” Collins said. “Students sit in on sample classes, presentations, and have campus tours in order for them to find out about the education program at ISU and how the need for teachers is growing.” Amy Kingery and Ashley Weir, both admissions welcome center counselors on campus, led the participants around campus and to various events set up for them. “It is a good chance for students to get more personalized information based on their own interests,” Kingery said.
“It also helps to make contact on campus before attending school here,” Weir said. “This is a lot of students’ first visit to campus, and it is a good idea to have this program in order to promote the campus.” There were multiple presentations by faculty and students based on the attendants’ specific interests in the education field. These were mock classes based on elementary, special education and secondary education. Following this, the participants were able to roam about campus with lunch provided by the Sycamore Towers Dining Hall. Some went to campus tours, others went to the Cunningham Memorial Library and still others went to a presentation on the Honors Program. “It was very informative, much more so than I first thought,” Olive Buechleo, a senior at Jasper High School said. “This is by far the best college visit of the three that I have been to previously.” The day closed with an open panel of students in the education major who were able to answer questions and help with distinguishing between what concentration could best suit each student.

The Sycamore women’s cross country team reached their goal of finishing 15th of the 33 teams at the NCAA Division I Great Lakes Regional Championship Saturday in Toledo, Ohio. The women were not ranked in the top 15 entering the meet, and defeated highly competitive teams such as Xavier, Marquette, and Western Michigan. This year’s finish ties for the third best performance at a regional meet since moving to the Great Lakes Regional in 1997. Senior Kacie Klem led the 6K race for the Sycamores with a time of 21:41.7, breaking her previous personal best of 22:21 set in 2008. Her performance was the fourth best in ISU school history. Klem finished 46th of the 277 total runners. “Kacie finished her career on a really high note,” head coach John Gartland said. “And for Jessica, it’s her first time under 22 minutes. So upfront, they really led us well.” Gartland said that Klem’s outstanding fitness this year benefitted her race. “Despite the longer distance, she was just so much more fit and strong that she was able to carry through the race,” he said. Also running and establishing Sycamore career bests were sophomore Jessica Zangmeister, 52nd in 21:50; junior Andrea Prusz, 91st in 22:26; freshman Nicole Lucas, 112th in 22:44; senior Kristy Twitchell, 121 in 22:55,
and sophomore Kalli Dalton, 162nd in 23:39. The top five finishers for the Sycamores joined ISU’s top-20 all time list. Prusz encountered a malfunction, losing her shoe approximately 1000 meters into the race. Without her completion of the race, the women wouldn’t have reigned to the top 15 in the region. “Andrea really saved the day for us with a courageous effort. It helped it was a golf course, but still, 3 miles without a shoe. That was impressive,” Gartland said. Despite Gartland’s absence from the meet due to an illness, he was highly communicative and knew the results faster than if he had been at the meet. With technological assistance, he was able to congratulate the women on their finish and personal triumphs with texts, he said. This was the first cross country meet he had missed in 24 years. “I am so proud and pleased of the team,” Gartland said. “Rather than the sour taste of a really disappointing meet two weeks ago, we ended on a really positive note.” Terre Haute will be hosting 31 teams that qualified for the NCAA Division I National Championship. The men’s race will begin at approximately 12:08 p.m. followed by the women’s race at approximately 12:58 p.m. (ET) on Monday at the LaVern Gibson Champion Cross Country Course located at the Wabash Valley Family Sports Center.

MEN’S Cross/Continued FROM PAGE oNE Richelle Kimble Reporter
The Indiana State men’s cross country team finished 12th of the 31 teams at the NCAA Division I Great Lakes Regional Championship Saturday in Toledo, Ohio. Senior Craig Padgett placed 16th of the 211 runners with a time of 30:38.8, earning him his second All-Region recognition and breaking the 12-year-old record of Jason Gunn. Gunn ran the 10k 30:44 in 1999 at the Great Lakes Region Championships, placing 8th. “Craig ran the strategy we talked about and planed out, and executed it,” head coach John McNichols said. “He just kept up to the people we had targeted out, primarily the IU team. I’m sure he was in a considerable amount of racing discomfort and pain, but was strong enough to hold on and push through.” Padgett just missed the opportunity to compete at the NCAA Divison I National Championships. Thirty-six individuals, the top four not on qualifying teams in each of the nine regions, automatically qualified while the next two highest places in all the regions additionally qualified. His time was two seconds short of the at-large selection. The Sycamore regional team also included senior Jeremiah Vaughan, who finished 69th with a time of 31:50, junior Albaro Escalera was 75th in 32:00, junior Dustin Betz was 81st in 32:07, freshman Tristan Selby was 93rd in 32:18, senior Tyler Kent was 99th in 32:25, and freshman Drew Gambill was 138th in 33:10. “Our target is always the top ten, and this year we were twelfth,” McNichols said. “I think we left with a very neutral note; it wasn’t exactly what we wanted.” The Sycamore men scored a total of 334 points, finishing higher than 19 competitive teams such as Akron, Toledo, and Kent State. Wisconsin won the meet with 50 points, and Indiana finished second with 70. “Overall, everybody would agree this was a good team. They put it together when they needed to at [the MVC conference]. And now we’re headed to the track,” McNichols said. Terre Haute will be hosting 31 teams that qualified for the NCAA Division I National Championships. The men’s race will begin at approximately 12:08 p.m. followed by the women’s race at approximately 12:58 p.m. on Monday at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course located at the Wabash Valley Family Sports Center.

ISU Men’s Basketball defeats Louisianna-Monroe 79-52; Richard posts first season double-double Ace Hunt
ISU Athletic Media Relations
For the first time since the 2005-06 campaign, the Sycamores have won each of their first two games of the season, including their road opener as ISU earned a 71-59 victory over Louisiana-Monroe in front of 1,236 fans at Fant-Ewing Coliseum. The Sycamores improved to 2-0 on the season while ULM fell to 0-2. Carl Richard led the Sycamores with a 15-point, 10 rebound performance for his first double-double of the season. Joining Richard in double figures were Jake Odum who had 13 points (11 in the second half) and Jordan Printy scored 13. The Sycamores limited ULM to just 36.8 percent shooting, despite the fact the Warhawks hit each of their first six 3-pointers in the second half. ISU shot 45 percent from the field and were 8-of-20 from long range. The Sycamores won the rebounding battle for the second consecutive game. Additionally, Indiana State has now won each of their last four road games, dating back to last season, and extended a streak of road victories over members of the Sun Belt Conference to three games, including a pair of road wins over Western Kentucky and Arkansas State in 2009. Printy took over third place on ISU’s all-time career list with his second 3-pointer of the game with 16:56 left in the second half to give the Sycamores a 40-31 advantage. ISU’s cushion shrunk to just 40-36 on a quick 5-0 run by Louisiana-Monroe which was answered by a pair of free throws from Steve McWhorter with 15:39 on the clock to stretch the lead out to 42-36. ULM would make five of their first six shots in the second half to make it 42-39 on a 3-pointer by Trey Lindsey. Carl Richard countered with a hook shot in the paint at the 14:59 mark to make it 44-39. Odum then made a steal after the Richard bucket and a ULM timeout to make it 46-39. The Sycamores got another stop, and Richard scored in the paint again to make it 48-39 at the 13:40 mark to complete a quick 6-0 Sycamore run. Walker scored in the paint with 12:54 left in the contest as the Sycamores matched their largest lead of the game at 50-40, but ULM hit back-to-back 3-pointers to creep back into the contest at 50-46 with 11:47 remaining in the game. The Warhawk run reached eight points on a lay-up by Hugh Mingo with 10:50 on the clock to make it a 50-48 score. Richard stopped the bleeding with a pair of free
throws for a 52-48 advantage before a Charles Winborne 3-pointer cut the ISU lead down to 52-51. ULM opened the second half by hitting each of their first six 3-point attempts. Walker and Odum countered with lay-ups on the Sycamores’ next two possessions to stretch the lead out to 56-51. The lay-ups sandwhiched an acrobatic blocked shot and defensive rebound by Richard. A conventional 3-point play by Fred Brown with 8:17 remaining made it 56-54, but Odum was able to answer with a driving lay-up to make it 58-54 as the clock ticked under eight minutes to go. ISU forced a defensive stop, and then Printy hit his third 3-pointer of the night with seven minutes left as the Sycamore lead snuck back out to 61-54. The Sycamore run reached seven consecutive points on a jumper in the paint by Richard with 6:04 on the clock to give the Trees a 63-54 advantage. Richard pulled down a defensive rebound at the 5:09 mark and posted his first double-double of the season. Odum went on to hit two free throws at the 4:14 mark as ISU achieved a 65-54 advantage -- its largest lead of the game. Odum’s free throws capped a 9-0 Sycamore run. Printy scored in transition, and then McWhorter converted a long jump shot as the ISU lead stretched out to 69-57 at the 2:20 mark. Steve McWhorter started off the scoring for the Sycamores with a long jump shot just 50 seconds into the contest for a quick 2-0 advantage. Printy added a 3-pointer with 18:09 left before the half for a 5-0 lead. That triple tied Printy with Travis Inman for third on ISU’s all-time list with 154 career 3-pointers. Indiana State achieved its largest lead of the first half at 20-10 on a 3-pointer by Lucas Eitel with 11:34 on the clock before the break. Eitel would hit a pair of treys in the opening stanza. At the 1:53 mark in the first half, Marcelis Hansberry converted a conventional 3-point play to make it 29-24. Eitel hit his second 3-pointer to stretch the lead out to 32-24 with 1:39 on the clock, before Hansberry converted another jumper and Odum connected on a driving lay-up with 37 seconds left on the clock to give ISU a 34-26 lead heading into the locker room. Richard and Dwayne Lathan led ISU with 7 points in the first half while Eitel scored 6. ULM was led in scoring by 15 points from Fred Brown. Indiana State returns home for its next two games, including a tilt on Friday, Nov. 18 against in-state rival Ball State. Tip-off is slated for 5 p.m. and will be the first game of a doubleheader also featuring the women’s basketball team against Chattanooga in the consolation round of the Preseason WNIT.
