“FreedomWriters” author to speak Nick Hedrick News editor

A former high school teacher, whose first job involved educating and mentoring students mired in gang-related violence, will share her experiences Wednesday at ISU. Erin Gruwell, co-author of “Freedom Writer’s Diary: How a Teacher and 150 Teens Used Writing to Change Themselves and the World Around Them,” will speak at 7 p.m. in the University Hall theater as part of the University Speakers Series. The event is free and open to the public.

Gruwell began her career as an English teacher at Wilson High School in Long Beach, Calif. in the early 1990s and quickly discovered school administrators had deemed many of her students “unteachable” due to academic struggles related to gang violence, crime and drugs.

Racially motivated violence, riots and gang problems were common throughout Southern California at the time.

“So it’s truly been a campus-wide effort to bring her to Indiana State,” she said.

Linda Maule, foundational studies coordinator and associate professor of political science and women’s studies, said one of the goals of the Fall Read initiative is to bring the author to campus if they are still living.

The Speakers Series and Foundational Studies reached out to colleges, departments and other campus offices to raise funds for the event. Over 15 sponsors signed on, Maule said, ranging from the Office of the President and Provost to the Career Center.

Maule said she hoped future collaboration with the Speakers Series to invite Fall Read authors to campus would increase participation in the initiative.

“I think that if this continues to happen with the Fall Read, it would truly be a university-wide effort,” she said.

ISU plans events to commemorate World AIDS Day KATIE CLARK Reporter

Student Health Promotion, PHACT (Promoting Health Across Campus Together!), and the Union Board are sponsoring ISU’s World AIDS Day event.

World AIDS Day is internationally observed each year on Dec. 1 and is dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of the HIV infection.

The ISU community is invited to the event for World AIDS Day that will bring awareness while allowing students to ask questions and discuss the issues about HIV/AIDS, said Aimee Janssen-Robinson, outreach educator for Student Health Promotions.

A Condom Couture contest and Sex in the Dark

event is set for 6:30 p.m. Thursday in Dede III in HMSU. “The Sex in the Dark game includes students writing down any questions and ways to promote safe sex”, Janssen-Robinson said.

There will also be a mini health fair where organizations such as Planned Parenthood will be there for information regarding HIV/AIDS, safe sex, STD testing and teen pregnancy. Tables will be set up where people can speak with professionals about any questions related to these topics. Refreshments and free condoms will also be included. This is free to students, Janssen-Robinson said.

Last year’s event included free HIV testing, free condoms and a guest speaker who talked about the signs and symptoms of HIV/AIDS and how to pre-

World AIDS Day was the first ever global health day in 1988. Since then it has been a day where people can remember those who lost the battle with AIDS and also celebrate those who are living with the disease.

HIV and AIDS are immune diseases that are contracted from the same virus. This disease attacks the body’s immune system, which is the body’s defense against pathogens like viruses and bacteria. Without that defense, someone with HIV/AIDS can become ill and possibly die from something as minor as the common cold.

According to the World AIDS Day organization, 33.3 million people are currently living with HIV throughout the world.

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.

Honors students learn about Navajo culture Mallory Metheny

ISU Communications and Marketing

The Navajo Nation spans nearly 27,500 miles, equivalent to the size of West Virginia. Yet ask any number of people, and they would struggle to find the Navajo Nation and explain Diné culture (that’s Navajo for “the people”).

So when 10 Indiana State University honors students trekked to Pinon, Ariz. in early October to see how high school students live on the reservation, it was an experience that opened the mind and engaged the senses, from hearing traditional chants to witnessing the poverty to tasting the much-talked about Navajo tacos.

“The purpose, as I see it, for the cross-cultural program is so that our students from Indiana State, but also the students from the Navajo reservation, can get the daily life experiences of one another,” said Charlie Ricker, a senior political science major from Indianapolis.

And Ricker was right. The ISU students did experience the daily life of a Navajo. To start, heavy rains caused the dirt roads to become impassable mires, threatening the cancellation of school.

“You are getting to experience a true Rez mud day,” Kristin Monts, an ISU alumna and Pinon High School teacher, said to the college group.

Monts, who student taught on the Navajo Reservation—called the Rez by the Navajo—then accepted a teaching position there after graduating in 2009, has stayed connected to Greg Bierly, director of the University Honors Program. ISU first visited the reservation three years ago, then hosted the Pinon students this past spring. The collaborative effort of the cross-cultural program has one primary purpose: two-way education.

“We took our students to Pinon so that the issues of culture and education that they had investigated in the classroom could truly come to life,” Bierly said, “It is one thing to discuss these issues as variables in a classroom in Indiana; it is entirely something else to walk the reservation and learn from someone that has always lived there.”

“The biggest thing for my students is just exposure opportunities, them being able to meet people that live off the reservation, that are not Native American and learn from them, but then also feel empowered by teaching them about their culture,” Monts said, “Exposure is huge since my students live in a very isolated area.”

Isolation is just one challenge the Navajo students face. The Nation also confronts an intimidating 80 percent unemployment rate, gang recruitment beginning in middle school and rampant alcoholism.

Rachel Hand, a junior studying speech-language pathology from Milan, Ind., said her small-town roots have limited her exposure to diverse cultures.

“Coming out here has really shown me that not everything is the picture-perfect world that we think we live in,” Hand said, “Coming here, we have seen students who are in high school that deal with a lot more problems than I have ever imagined, and they overcome those and they persevere so much.”

Shannon Winklepleck, a sophomore speech-language pathology major from Odon, Ind., emphasized that the purpose of the trip went beyond simply feeling sorry for the Navajo culture’s social and economic problems.

“The point of the trip was not to pity the students, but to learn

Pinon High School students and ISU Honors students enjoy the sunset on top of Cedar Mesa, Utah. (Photo courtesy of ISU Communications and Marketing) from them,” Winklepleck said, “And we did.”

For the ISU students, the experience encouraged them to reach outside themselves and their routines to slap dough around making traditional fry bread, to drive for an hour in the same direction in order to experience the desert’s vastness and its quietude, to process the unique traditions of this often-forgotten culture and listen to the internal conflicts of a Navajo coming of age in the 21st century.

“I was talking to one [student] in particular, and she was telling me that recently she has started to realize how important her culture is, so she’s trying to find that healthy balance between accepting who she is as a Navajo, as well as wanting to make a better life for herself and a better future,” Hand said, “There’s definitely a lot of difficulties within her family because her family wants her to stay here on the reservation.”

Family duties often take priority over schoolwork. Freshman Shevon Badoni and sophomore Megan Tom, both introspective Pinon students, routinely clean their houses and cook dinner, as well as take care of younger siblings. Other students have animals to herd, which makes it difficult to begin homework until 10 each night.

“When they come to school, it’s a freedom,” Monts said, “They’re able to see their friends, their teachers. They’re able to learn and be high-schoolers, and they’re not really able to do that when they’re home.”

Pinon High School juniors and seniors asked Indiana State students questions about college during a question and answer panel. Students inquired about topics ranging from the difficulty of classes to what it is like leaving home.

“It’s just great to have role models there that can equip them with more knowledge and confidence that they can do it. They can leave home, and they can succeed in school,” Monts said.

Kristina Yazzie, a bubbly, yet strong-willed Navajo sophomore, recognizes how both groups of students can benefit from this experience.

“I hope you gain a lot of knowledge about the Navajo people.

A lot of people have lost touch with their Navajo culture, so we just want to teach you what we know right now, and it’s starting to really inspire us to get reunited with our culture.”

Hand thinks working on the reservation post-graduation seems like an exciting possibility.

“After getting to meet the students, speaking to them one-onone, getting to meet with the teachers and speak to them as well, there is a very good possibility that I can definitely see myself coming here one day working as a speech therapist with these students,” she said.

Monts took pride in her students, who developed the itinerary and activities for their visitors, throughout the collaboration.

“They’ve become leaders. All of them have become leaders,” Monts said with a smile, as if she were their own mother.

Then again, they do call her “Mom.” As the students watched the sun set from the top of Cedar Mesa on the last night of the trip, it seemed plausible to witness that entire 27,500-mile Nation in one 360 degree motion. Navajo students stood shoulder to shoulder with Indiana State students.

Two cultures blended into a newly-formed family. Only one question remained.

“Mom! Where are we going to eat?”

Fire-breathing rich pillage, terrorize America Michael Laub In the Democrat’s Corner

If people know me, they understand that I am a nerd when it comes to politics, science fiction and fantasy. I especially love to read and discuss plot points and ideas when it comes to fantasy fiction. Even though these stories are completely outlandish and impossible, I really enjoy the escapism—it makes life more interesting.

Today, I would like to talk about some of the most well known creatures that exists in fantasy—dragons. They are one of the most common fantasy creature and major enemy in the entire realm of medieval fantasy fiction and Chinese mythology, and they are the major goal for the hero to slay.

You might wonder why I’m talking about flying lizards in a political column. I am here to say that America has dragons of its own.

These dragons are not exactly the ones like in the stories, but they share similarities that can’t be ignored.

These dragons that terrorize the countryside and probably need a good slaying to free the people are the superrich or the 1 percent.

Dragons are incredibly powerful creatures to the point where they are almost invincible and sometimes immortal, and you better believe these dragons use this to their advantage. Dragons constantly fly above the countryside without acknowledging or even understanding

the plight of the people below them. All they know is that the people have something they want, and their presence can eventually become dangerous.

When the dragon does lower itself and land on the level of the people living on the ground, they begin to destroy and wreck the livelihoods of the people living there. The people live in terror of the dragons that fly above and do everything in their power to make sure they are safe from danger and that the dragons are happy.

Dragons also have the habit of amassing large amounts of gold and other shiny valuables from destructions of kingdoms and homes of people.

The average treasure troves of dragons are filled with giant pools of gold and valuables that can make any man who takes them down the richest in the land, giving him true power.

The dragons have no real purpose for this wealth. I mean, why do they need to buy anything—they’re dragons? But even if they did spend the money what would they spend it all on?

Usually dragons get slain by a champion of the people, and the people are finally free of the tyranny of the evil dragons, but this is where the major difference between dragons and rich people are.

There is not going to be a champion to bring down the rich, for those dragons had the great idea of paying off the king with some of gold they “earned.”

“These dragons that terrorize the countryside and probably need a good slaying to free the people are the super rich or 1 percent.”

Congress refuses to grow up, handle budget issues

In Indiana, we are required to pass a balanced budget.

This means that every two years when the budget is made, concessions must be made to ensure that we do not spend more money than we take in. Don’t spend more money than you earn. It’s a pretty basic idea of managing your money. Any of us with a credit card knows that if you charge more than you can pay off, you will end up paying quite a bit more than you originally spent due to interest.

And yet, this simple principle seems difficult for our government to grasp.

As part of the debt ceiling compromise brokered this summer, both chambers of Congress are required to hold a vote on a balanced budget amendment. A few weeks ago, the vote held in the House of Representatives fell short by 23 votes to pass as a constitutional amendment. Since the balanced budget amendment is traditionally an issue championed by conservatives, one would expect that if the amendment was going to pass either chamber it would be in the House. The Senate plans to hold a vote in the near future, but I wouldn’t hold my breath.

The arguments against a balanced budget amendment merit serious consideration. Our debt situation is both serious and deep. To go from the kind of deficits we’ve been running to a balanced budget in a single bound could have drastic ramifications for social programs and taxes. Everyone

wants to cut programs—as long as it isn’t one they personally benefit from.

And no one is thrilled by the prospect of paying more taxes. While our spending problem and tax code certainly need to be looked at, perhaps this is something that would be better done in phases—or, better yet, voluntarily by legislators without the need for an amendment.

However, the time for a balanced budget is long past. It’s appalling that our debt has reached $15 trillion, with no end in sight. We don’t even have a good frame of reference to appreciate how big our debt is. And yet, it increases with each passing year. And voting down the balanced budget amendment looks a lot like Congress passing the buck, refusing to face the issue.

The inability of Congress to get anything done is just ridiculous. Perhaps with a balanced budget amendment, Congress would be forced to take a serious look at how things are done concerning our finances. Real reform needs to happen in a variety of areas, but Congress has shown its inability to accomplish anything without a threat hanging over their heads.

So, perhaps a balanced budget amendment would give them the incentive they need to look at the long-term finances of our country and work together to solve our financial issues.

The failure to pass the balanced budget amendment represents a recurring theme among members of today’s Congress: the refusal to make tough decisions and compromise to make tomorrow’s America stronger than yesterday’s. It’s time for our elected members of Congress to start acting like adults.

Bill Clinton gives inspiring speech at DePauw Leia Zoll Let’s Get Political

On Friday, Nov. 18, Bill Clinton visited Greencastle and presented a speech to DePauw University students and residents, putting the audience on the edge of their seats.

Clinton is a master of public speaking, and it is no wonder he holds such an impressive track record in politics. Who wouldn’t jump on seeing the one democrat to cut government programs and balance a budget? That is a rarity I couldn’t pass up.

Bill Clinton used this speech to inspire the nation’s future with philanthropy and instill the nation with environmental responsibility. His positive message was inspiring and informative, mentioning personal experience and recent research concerning the environment.

He also used just a dash of personal humor, occasionally making the crowd chuckle.

Clinton spoke of how water purification was a huge problem for the poor in this country and around the world, killing an astronomical amount of children each year.

He gave every citizen a reason to go out and help the community and environment: no matter how small the help, help is still help. One resonating quote from Clinton was

“The problems of the world today are real and profound, but this is a pretty great time to be alive.”

He then talked about health concerns and told many heart-warming personal stories of his travels as a philanthropist, speaking of his charity to aid the less fortunate.

Further, he touched on health research and the ability to find predetermined health risks in people using advancements in genome research, as well as the new results that seem to show how evolution started.

However he did not forget to mention that all of this research still must be tested and retested again to prove its validity.

Clinton was a phenomenal choice for the 25th anniversary of the DePauw lecture series. It was well worth my drive to share my time with hundreds of others who waited in line for hours and crowded that auditorium that day.

I still, to this day, remember the Bill Clinton accent my father would don to aggravate me as a child, and how, at that age, I disliked our president, (for what reason I could not tell you).

But that Friday, one of the most memorable I have lived through to date, gave me nothing but respect for our former president and excitement for the years to come.

“[Bill] Clinton is a master of public speaking, and it is no wonder he holds such an impressive track record in politics.”

Veggie fails: Congress classifies pizza as a vegetable Since Congress is now considering pizza a vegetable, I must be the healthiest person alive—it is completely ridiculous.

In an article on Huff Post Politics, Congress states that the tomato sauce being used for the pizza makes it a vegetable. Aside from the logic that tomato sauce is considered a vegetable when tomatoes have been proven to be a fruit, pizza is completely unhealthy for you; also, it can’t be a vegetable and an entrée at the same time. This just goes to show that the lunches being provided to children in cafeterias today are not the healthiest, and the people who are in charge of deciding what children are being served are completely senseless.

Congress should not be responsible for what children are allowed to eat in cafeterias since they think pizza is now a vegetable. The faculty and staff of the school should make that decision. Schools should serve children healthy, but, at the same time, tasty food. There should be an entrée, a vegetable (NOT PIZZA), a fruit and some kind of dessert. These should be in reasonably sized portions that are filling but still moderate.

Children always want an opinion in what they should eat, but, in all reality, if every child chose what they wanted, they would not choose anything healthy.

Angelina Ritter Meals on Heels

If children feel like they should choose what they eat, then they should be mature enough to make the right decision and eat food that is reasonably healthy for them.

When you walk into the dining halls here at ISU, you see a wide variety of food. There is anything from chicken patty sandwiches to a salad bar to even sandwich wraps. Even though there are a lot of options to choose from, that doesn’t mean they are the healthiest. I know from personal experience. When I go to the dining halls with my friends we always seem to get the same thing: burgers and fries, pizzas and fries or chicken sandwiches and fries. Obviously these choices are not the healthiest, and you can eat as much of them as you want.

We students are all mature enough to decide our own meals, but if every student at ISU wanted different foods, it would get out of hand. Whoever is in charge of deciding what we eat is doing a fairly good job. Especially when they incorporate meatless Monday’s for the vegetarians around campus or when we have our premium night. These are all good things to have to get away from the everyday burgers and fries.

Even though there are many options already, it could never hurt to switch some things out for others every once in a while.

Our Congress is completely foolish. Nobody can force you to eat something, but hopefully you make a healthier choice than just burgers, pizza and fries every day.

“...the people who are in charge of deciding what children are being served are completely senseless.”

ISU athletes boogied for a cause onstage as they competed for first place at the student-athlete talent show Monday evening. $5 tickets were available at the door, and donations could be made towards a favorite team.

All proceeds go towards sponsoring families during the holiday season. Ticket sales alone racked up approximately $500.

The event was presented by the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and took place at 7:30 p.m. in Tilson Auditorium.

All sports, including the Sparkettes and cheer team, performed with music choice from various decades as the theme for the night.

Overall winners of the night included the men’s track and cross-country team and women’s basketball.

“I had a great time,” freshman athletic training major Israel Mercado said. Mercado is a member of the men’s track and field team and worked with his teammates for one week to put together the winning dance routine to “My Girl” by The Temptations. “We worked on it, and we came out on top.”

Winners were chosen by a panel of three judges made up of head strength and conditioning coach David McMannus, co-head athletic trainer Shelli Landis and student activities associate director Freda Luers.

A third winner, titled “People’s Choice,” will be announced for the team who received the most donations in the near future.

Student actors to perform, gain feedback and experience Ella dela Pena Features editor

Student actors have been preparing for an event dedicated to showcasing their own works and receiving feedback for their benefit.

The Theater department will be presenting New Play Readings, which are written and performed by the students, starting tonight at 7 p.m. in the New Theater through Friday. The last show date will take place at the Swope Art Museum.

Theater professor Arthur Feinsod is in charge of the playwriting class that is putting on the performances and assigns his students three assignments throughout the semester which are used as the content for the event.

The three assignments consist of a ten minute play, a one act play which can be up to 40 pages in length, and a third play that must incorporate a piece of art at the Swope Art Museum as inspiration.

“The students have been doing a great job,” Feinsod said. “It is very fun to see plays in their early stages as they’re being born.”

The New Play Readings are an opportunity for his students to gain constructive criticism from the public, Feinsod said.

“After the play readings are over, we open it up to audience discussion,” Fein-

sod said. “It is not only a learning process for the students, but it is a learning process for the audience, too.”

While all the students in Feinsod’s class taking part in the readings are, unintentionally, males this year, the plays presented provide a wide array of themes for all audience members.

“Some are funny, some are dramatic and some are symbolic,” Feinsod said.

One performance scheduled for the night includes a musical, based on Robin Hood, written by psychology professor Tom Johnson, who is also currently a student in Feinsod’s playwriting class.

Because the actors happen to be all men this year, several women from the theater department have offered to volunteer with the women character roles, including Julie Dixon, who is head of the department.

Based on the feedback given by the audience and the changes students make to their works, some of the new play readings will be produced with full costume and set design at the New Play Festival taking place in the spring of next year.

While admission is free to the public, Feinsod recommends for kids to stay home, due to some adult content.

The theater department will also be presenting their 101 plays Wednesday, Dec. 9, at 7:30 p.m. in the New Theater.

New Play Readings (Nov. 30 - Dec. 2) All performances begin at 7 p.m.

Wednesday, Nov. 30 - New Theater 1. “The Woeful World of Wal-Mart” - Jacob Osborn 2. “Too Much Time” - Michael Bell 3. “The Seal” - Charles Adams Intermission 4. “The Ballad of Robin Hood”, Act I - Tom Johnson Thursday, Dec. 1 - New Theater 1. “3 Sisters” - John-Michael Murphy 2. “Human Survival” - Michael Bell Friday, Dec. 2 - 3rd floor, Swope Art Museum 1. “Romanticized” - Jacob Osborn 2. “Fall Out” - Simon McNair 3. “Beating the Storm” - Tom Johnson 4. “Quo Vadis, Priest” - Charles Adams

celebrates birthday with community Day’Jonnae Riggins Reporter

Coca-Cola celebrated 125 yeaers of refreshing the world by thanking the Terre Haute community who helped make their success possible.

In honor of its 125th anniversary, Coca-Cola held a celebration on Monday, Nov. 21, in the town where the birth of the iconic Coca-Cola glass contour bottle began.

The celebration was held on the lawn of City Hall and Vigo County Courthouse on Third and Wabash. Coca-Cola leaders joined Governor Mitch Daniels to affirm their joint commitment to investing in the Terre Haute community.

“Coca-Cola has been a part of the Indiana community for more than 100 years, and I am happy to be among those helping them honor the people of Terre Haute and recall this city’s important place in Coca-Cola’s proud history,” Governor Mitch Daniels said.

Anyone was welcome to come to the event. There were photo opportunities with the Coca-Cola Polar Bear and Santa Claus, live entertainment and special guest U.S. Olympic diver David Boudia.

Each guest received an ice cold CocaCola and a commemorative Coca-Cola 125th Anniversary glass contour bottle.

“Today’s moment of thanks is about the people of Terre Haute, past and present, who have helped Coca-Cola reach this milestone,” said Mark Rahiya, Coca-Cola Refreshments Senior Vice President of Sales.

The Coca-Cola Company will donate 25 cents for every six-pack of 8-ounce Coca-Cola contour glass bottles purchased now through Dec. 31 to United Way of the Wabash Valley, said Rahiya.

Coca-Cola has also partnered with Vigo County Public Library to install a Coca-Cola and Hoosier archive exhibit as part of an ongoing effort to encourage educational programs for students of all ages around the world.

The exhibit is opened now through Friday, Dec. 16.

Many Coca-Cola vintage items are on display at the exhibit, including commemorative designer bottles from the 1980s (above) and a soda fountain glass and holder dating back to 1890 (below). (Photos by Brooke Wright)

Trend of the Week

Function vs. fashion: Fingerless gloves sacrifice warmth, gain other benefits

Katy Karmazinas Reporter

With the first Terre Haute snowfall hitting campus Monday, students are starting to stock up on winter gear.

Fingerless gloves are a fast-growing trend that has been gaining popularity, particularly with the younger fashion crowd.

Fingerless gloves are exactly what the name entails – they cover the palms, leaving the fingers exposed.

According to USA today, these gloves are “more about fashion than function.”

Numerous celebrities, such as Madonna, Lindsay Lohan and Lady Gaga, have been spotted wearing them during their performances.

While this new trend may not be the most effective in terms of keeping warm, fingerless gloves are efficient with the growing amount of people using touch screen technology, such as iPads, iPhones and other similar devices.

Sophomore psychology major Allison Gary finds fingerless gloves useful for her lifestyle.

“They keep my hands warm,” Gary said, “but they also allow me to use my touch screen phone when I’m outside.”

Smokers may also find fingerless gloves useful when trying to keep a hold of their cigarettes while keeping their hands covered.

According to USA Today, fingerless gloves are popping up on store shelves anywhere from Walmart to Urban Outfitters, enabling consumers of all budgets to take part in the growing fashion trend.

What’s Not To Like About Tim Tebow?

In a world with Penn State’s Jerry Sandusky, Syracuse’s Bernie Fine and even Justin Bieber paternity tests, it’s great to see an athlete who does and says the right things. Tim Tebow has made many sports experts eat their words by being successful and winning games. His character and personal attitude are awesome, and he is thankful for everything by confidently showing his faith. How can people not like this guy?

The truth is that no one really knows how he is winning. He is 5-1 since taking over as the starter. The guy just wins; his numbers are not the best, and he isn’t singlehandedly winning these games, but somehow he pulls out the win. He just incredibly and miraculously finds a way to win the game. During this run, he has three fourth quarter comebacks.

What makes this situation even better is that no one believes in this guy. Nearly every sports analyst, except ESPN’s Skip Bayless, does not believe that Tim Tebow Columnist be a starting quarterback in the NFL. His own coach, John Fox, even said Final Score should that Tebow (his own quarterback) would be “screwed” if he had to run a “regular” offense. Football analyst Steve Young even said that Tebow should be angry that his coach is not allowing him to run a “regular” offense.

Despite all of this, he is still winning, and he has a great attitude about it. During the press conference following the Jets-Broncos game, he was asked about these criticisms, and he just said that there are always going to be “naysayers” and that you just have to focus on what you can control.

He said that he will run whatever offense and do whatever it takes to win.

He also is a great teammate and truly believes in his faith. He always talks positively about his teammates and is completely thankful for everything. He started off his press conference after the Jets-Broncos game by saying, “First and Foremost, I just want to thank my Lord and savior, Jesus Christ.”

Many people believe that he is “playing up” his faith and even make fun of him by “Tebowing” (dropping down to one knee and pretending to pray). I believe that his faith is real, and I have extreme respect for him for this. In the media and world today, it is very difficult and controversial to bring up your faith in the public setting. Tebow does this all the time by confidently and proudly standing up for his faith.

He just does the right things. His teammates love him. His fans love him. Now it is time for the rest of us to become “Tebow-ed.” He is a role model who you can follow without the fear of crazy scandalous activity. In the world of today, nearly every celebrity or athlete has some sort of scandal or lack of morality. With such a blur of what is right and what is wrong in the world today, Tim Tebow avoids that blurred line and represents what is right. He’s thankful for everything, doesn’t take any credit for himself and just wins football games. How can you not like this guy?

What did you do over Thanksgiving break?

“My [volleyball] team made the conference tournament; we went to Northern Iowa and were in the top six in the conference. On Thanksgiving, we played the third seed, which was Wichita. We lost, so we went to back to our hotel and had a team dinner. A couple of my teammates and I went shopping for Black Friday on Thursday night after the game and got in line at 11 p.m.”

- Monique Morris, business major

“I was on my way back from Bloomington and it was really hard to see. We didn’t see the sharp turn up ahead, so we skidded off the road and ran into an electrical box and completely destroyed it. The car was not perfect, but everyone was okay. I was thankful no one was hurt.”

- Alice Voigt, pre-pharmacy major “I went hunting in Graysville with my bow. We had steaks for Thanksgiving instead of turkey and ham. I went black Friday shopping from 12 a.m. until 12 p.m. and came back and slept the whole day.”
