Students give back for MLK Day of Service Kelah McKee Reporter On a day when classes are canceled for Indiana State University, several students chose to spend that time volunteering around the community.

Nearly 400 students took part in the Martin Luther King Day of Service Monday, up from the 330 students who participated last year.

Jennifer Christian, AmeriCorps Program Coordinator, said the event, which was established in 2007, allows students to help their community by cleaning, visiting nursing homes, and even helping at Red Cross.

Christian said “it is a great way to get involved” at Indiana State University and the surrounding communities.

Sarah Balana Molter, a graduate assistant in the Center for Community Engagement, was in her second year working the event. Molter said volunteering gave her the chance to better the Wabash Valley while getting to know people in her age group.

“It’s a good opportunity to meet other students you do not have class with and see around campus,” she said.

Although all students were encouraged to volunteer, organizations Black Optimistic Men and Brothers as well as Tau Kappa Epsilon, the NAACP, Alpha Phi Alpha, and the Black Student Union were also on hand to serve.

A march commemorating Martin Luther King followed the Day of Service.

Dressed in all black, students began their march at Blumberg and Cromwell Halls, holding candles and signs that represented equality and brotherhood.

Makailya Rice, president of the Black Student Union, said the event’s purpose is to unite students of all races and educate them about African-American history.

“It brings more than just black organizations together,” she said. “It brings the community of ISU together, and makes them aware about past African-American leaders.”

Year of the president: National Security gets bridled

Generally, the Obama administration believes that the National Security Agency’s mass collection of information is necessary for national security. However, after a year full of allegations and concerns about the NSA, President Barack Political Obama is adjusting the Columnist program; a great start to another year in office.

The Washington Post commented on the NSA, saying that the president is now having to face “difficult political realities.” And those realities are very simple — Americans do not trust the agency. Edward Snowden, the man who brought the agency’s activities to light, has incited a lot of fear and concern with many Americans believing that the NSA has induced a “Big Brother” surveillance state. Depending on how you view the agency, with the organization harboring information on millions of Americans and people abroad, there may be some truth to those fears.

During his speech on Friday, the president said these programs are integral to national security efforts. At the Justice Department, he stated that “important decisions” about protecting the United States are being made, and “sustaining our leadership” in the world while disarming the programs is out of the question.

While the president views the agency as absolutely necessary, changes to it will come, and he wants Congress, the Justice Department and the intelligence community to jump on board, too. With blatant privacy concerns, the president will require judicial approval each time the government seeks information from phone databases. The president has also asked the Justice Department to

Julian Winborn

complete a report on how to best protect and store data.

Even though the president is reaching out to the Congress ahead of time — before the laws make the NSA review their policies — some members are still not satisfied, seeking more limits.

Senator Ron Wyden stated that he is interested in reforms to show “security and liberty are not mutually exclusive.”

Rep. Loretta Sanchez stated that she will not “sacrifice” the civil rights and liberties of Americans for “excessive collection of personal data.”

Though officials inside the intelligence community do not agree with several congressional members, it is well within Congress’ responsibilities to lay down ground rules for government surveillance. And with all of the disapproval from across the country, seeing what Congress will cook up to restrain the agency will be interesting.

National security is one area of politics that tends not to fall along party lines.

Normally, the topic is very bipartisan. So without the partisan gridlock, Congress may move pretty quickly, boasting their own clarity on the situation as they propose various solutions to the agency’s privacy problem.

So now we’re seeing that the president has made the right decision by approaching Congress. After all, such a move shows respect for the branch. However, he and the intelligence community may not be too pleased with what congressional members may put on the table.

Aside from the healthcare rollout, the NSA scandal and allegations clearly defined the Obama administration in 2013. And the president’s move to seriously address the agency with the help of other branches of government shows President Barack Obama has been making waves since he first took office in 2013. Now that he is willing to make improvements the nation’s leader plans to put limits to the NSA’s access to public information and and redefine his administration’s legacy tries to make nice with Congress (submitted photo). for 2014.

Please hold while I pretend I’m transferring your call

If you were to call me, I would answer. I’d actually talk to you, as a person, not an automated machine. And as an added bonus, I’m not going to transfer you to another person.

Now, I understand that phone tag is a norm which we, as a consumer, deal on a regular basis.

Columnist with Why must we tell our story five times to six different people before someone decides to help us out? It is all a numbers game that companies manipulate to draw us in. And when they have us they never let us go.

Throughout the past decade there have been several studies done on customer service call centers. Statistics have been taken from both the business and customer sides to get an accurate picture of just what is going on in these call centers. In 2012, Forrester’s customer

T.C. Wampler

experience index stated that “64 percent of brands got a rating of “OK,” “poor” or ‘very poor’ from their customers.”

In any class, from grade school to grad school, 64 percent is a failing grade. We pay for a level of service that we are not getting from these companies. Does anyone remember the media blackout due to CBS and Time Warner Cable having a fight?

During August 2013 Time Warner and CBS parted ways, fighting over money.

Customers of TWC called to complain about this loss and wanting it back. It took about a month for the 2 billion-dollar companies to reach an agreement. Time Warner had a duty to its customers to provide a service they were guaranteed.

And when they failed to provide, they relied on their customer service to take the brunt of the punishment.

So this is a problem we as a society are experiencing on the whole. Our country has moved to a customer service-based industry. It’s a known fact. Don’t believe

me? Look around at the job market.

Tell me, precisely how many careers are available where you’re not catering to some mass public? This creates a class of ideas where companies are priding themselves on their ability to help their customers with any and every issue based off of an email, an instant message or most commonly, a phone call. The “hook, line and sinker” move that these companies use on unsuspecting customers causes a loss in faith of other companies that actually care about their customers.

Because Time Warner wanted to cater to the big boys instead of the customer, we challenge utility conglomerates on the whole. These Fortune 500 companies take our money and make promises that they have no intention on keeping. Yet, when you catch them in this lie and confront them head–on, they use every salesmen trick to get you to walk about happy for another month.

While we often must bite the bullet, there are some preventative measures that

need to be taken to avoid pitfalls such as these. Before you ever sign a contract with a company, do some extensive research on all aspects. Take a look at Better Business Bureau, Internet forums and your friends that have some experience in dealing with this or that company. Yes, it is often commonplace to expect a fight — because while the customer is always right, what company willingly tanks their own profits? — with service industries you call or go into see.

We as a society have come to expect the reluctance of a company to help its consumers, which is an absolute shame.

We deal with capitalism so often that we often become more argumentative and confrontational when dealing with anyone in the customer service industry.

This attitude often carries over to our everyday lives in dealing with our friends or co-workers, which, again, isn’t right. It seems about time to take our frustration out on those who deserve it, not those who are closest in our reach.

A young man’s guide to college

Time to ride solo: ‘me potential’ versus ‘we potential’

To be in a relationship or not to be? This is quite the question for a young man in college. It’s human nature to want to connect and share experiences with someone, but is right now a good time?

Is the person worth the investment? Where do you begin? Cue in a cool movie Columnist voice introducing, “The We Potential versus. Me Potential!”

The “We Potential” is a concept understood as a young man in a relationship. It is the potential that gets filled by being in a relationship. You do as a gentleman does and open doors, pay for food and entertainment, watch Netflix together and offer emotional support. The

Ben Ramseier

main idea of the “We Potential” is that you are deeply connected with another person.

In the context of your college era, you are here to prepare yourself for the future, but within the relationship, you want to fulfill the idea of what you two could be — the relationship’s potential. This means that you must not just consider your own goals and wants, but her’s, too. Maybe this means that you call it an early night when you’re hanging out with the guys to go home to your wife or choose not go to a party because your girlfriend doesn’t know anyone there.

For you older students near graduation, you might consider the relationship’s potential when thinking about jobs.

That isn’t always the case, but the point is that many decisions are made with compromises and the consideration of

another. These compromises include tradeoffs that you may be reluctant to accept. Now, what is the other side of this equation?

The “Me Potential” is just as it sounds: fulfilling your destiny while being single.

How do you become the best individual you can possibly be? You are at college, away from parents and have no girlfriend, so your influences and motivations are that of your own. You can choose to be the life of the party on the weekends and a workhorse during the week. If you feel like studying abroad in Spain, then you have the capability to do so without any baggage from a worrying girlfriend.

Remember, luggage costs extra.

When you’re single, you are able to focus solely on yourself, your aspirations and even your mistakes without the influence of another person. Some may view being

alone and on your own a disadvantage.

If you need help, you will naturally seek it when you see fit. Growth and self-discovery comes from overcoming difficulties and making decisions on your own. Becoming your own person is what these years in college are for, right?

It’s understood that under what rare occasion you can have a girlfriend that challenges you to a better person, but you would still be in a relationship. An undeniable fact is that you will have to account for someone else in your decisions, which is not the case for a single man. This is not to bash on relationships. This is a guide to help realize that a possible reason why relationships go bad is because men haven’t taken the time to fulfill the “Me Potential.” So, where should one begin when considering a relationship? Start with yourself.

THE PATH TO: ACCEPTANCE Indiana State University is publicly showing support for the gay community in the face of an amendment that threatens same sex marriage Allen Zielinski Reporter Last month, while campus was quieting down for winter break, Indiana State University released a statement in opposition of the proposed state ban on same-sex marriage.

Indiana State University’s Faculty Senate, Staff Council and Student Government Association voted in opposition of former amendment HJR-6 to the Indiana constitution which would define marriage as being between one man and one woman.

According to a press release, Indiana State University President Daniel J. Bradley said the vote was in line with the university’s handbook policy, which prohibits discrimination and harassment based on sexual orientation.

“Our governance groups saw this as a human rights issue that not only contradicts our current policy but, if adopted, could impact the university’s ability to attract and retain faculty, staff and students,” Bradley said.

Indiana State University’s opposition to the recently re-titled HJR-3 legislature marks another act of support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community on campus.

“I think that our right and responsibility to state our collective opinion is respected by state leaders,” Bradley said.

Bradley said the limitations HJR-3 could impose on potential students, faculty and staff would have a negative effect on the university.

Dylan Wright, a senior music liberal arts

major, is thrilled with the university’s public stand against the proposed legislature.

“I certainly think the university’s stance on HJR-3 is important. Our school is setting an ethical example not only to its students, but also to our surrounding community and local government,” Wright said.

The university’s recent stand is one of a growing number of initiatives aimed at building a more educated and resourceful campus community.

In his time as president of the university, Bradley has witnessed several developments aimed at the gay community as well as diversity in general.

The Sycamore Safe Zone as well as President’s Council on Diversity, which exists to develop policies on discrimination, have furthered this mission.

Separating the offices of Diversity and Equal Opportunity, Bradley said, has also had an enormous impact on the development of a more diverse and welcoming campus.

One program in particular has experienced some major renovations. In recent months, Aimee Janssen-Robinson, the new assistant dean of student advocacy, has worked on the development of a more resourceful Safe Zone program.

Janssen-Robinson’s goal is for the program to train students, faculty, and staff to create a more welcoming community for LGBT students.

Within the 2014 spring semester JanssenRobinson and her support staff plan to begin holding Safe Zone 101 workshops, with

Sycamore Allies and Sycamore Advocates workshops to follow.

“I think it’s going to be our avenue to get more communication with students,” said Janssen-Robinson of the first workshop.

She added that the recent modifications to the program are crucial because of the importance of every students’ needs.

“We need to try new things,” JanssenRobinson said.

The university’s recent work in developing

a more LGBT-friendly campus is becoming much more evident.

With the re-introduction of Sycamore Safe Zone training and campus offices and organizations educating themselves on LGBT concerns, Wright said the result will produce great resources and provide students with the support they need.

“I definitely feel that Indiana State has been taking great steps” to support and uplift the LGBT community, Wright said.

Indiana State hosts strength and conditioning clinic John Patrick Gibbons Reporter Indiana State faculty, staff and students learned Saturday how to create workouts for athletes that will build a winning season.

Saturday’s Strength and Conditioning Clinic featured coaches and strength and conditioning professionals from around the region.

Along with the speakers, demonstrators were on hand to show coaches exercises that could improve athletes’ performances.

David Feeley, director of strength and conditioning at Ball State University, kicked off the event by covering his players’ seasonal workouts. He said communication between the coaching staff is key to a successful team a successful season.

“The head football coach, the head strength coach and the athletic trainer must be all on the same page,” Feeley said.

Feeley went over in detail the schedule

of when he makes his players work out based on their position as well as how long and how much he makes his players work out.

Indiana University Head Football and Strength and Conditioning Coach Mark Hill spoke about off-season workouts and how winter conditioning is the optimal time for players to gain mass.

Hill then talked about the difficulties of off-season workouts with a shortage of time, because players must have eight weeks off according to the National College Athletic Association and they are also only allowed to be in the weight room lifting for coaches eight hours a week.

“As a coach, more than anything you are a time manager,” Hill said.

Indiana Wesleyan Track and Field Coach James Allen attended with the hope of gaining hands-on experience he couldn’t access at home.

“I wanted to learn more about different coaches and their techniques and styles,”

Brian Clark, head strength and conditioning coach for Noblesville High School addresses a group of fellow coaches about exercise techniques (Photo by Ayden Jent).

Allen said.

Other speakers talked about how to build stronger and faster players and how to deal with injuries that players may receive on the field such as shoulder and ankle injuries.

Attendees heard about the importance of injured athletes’ continuing steady training, even after an injury, by working out other parts of their body so that they can return to play in optimal form.

Sycamore Football adds four transfers to roster Ace Hunt ISU Athletic Media Relations Second-year Indiana State head football coach Mike Sanford announced Monday that four student-athletes have been added to the 2014 roster as mid-year transfers. All four are currently enrolled at Indiana State and will participate in spring practice.

New to the Sycamore football roster in 2014 will be running back Deionte Buckley (Indianapolis, Ind./Warren Central HS/Cincinnati), quarterback Patrick Coyne (Cincinnati, Ohio/Badin HS/Cincinnati), defensive lineman Kris Davis (Indianapolis, Ind./Warren Central HS/Miami (Ohio) and linebacker Jordan Wallace (Indianapolis, Ind./Warren Central HS/Indiana).

“Each of these young men bring experience as extremely talented high school athletes and all come to us from quality FBS programs,” Sanford said.

“They have already hit the ground running in our off-season program and will have the opportunity to learn our system this spring with our returning players.”

Buckley is a 5-10, 210 sophomore running back who comes to Indiana State from Cincinnati. He played for the Bearcats in 2012 as a true freshman seeing

action on special teams and at tailback. He earned 32 rushing yards on four carries in 2012. He did not see game action in 2013 and will have three years of eligibility remaining.

He ranked as the No. 5 player in the state of Indiana and the No. 31 running back nationally as a member of the 2012 recruiting class out of Warren Central HS. He was an Associated Press First Team Class 5A All-State selection at running back and a First Team All-Marion County selection. He earned a spot on the Indiana Football Coaches Association Top 50 AllState Team. He carried the ball 214 times for 1,610 yards, averaging 7.5 yards per carry with 27 touchdowns. He rushed for a season-high 235 yards on 18 carries and three touchdowns against Central Grove as a senior. Buckley had nine games rushing for 100 or more yards and six games of 150 yards rushing for more.

During his senior season, Warren Central went 11-1, winning the Metropolitan Interscholastic Conference and earning a No. 7 national ranking.

Coyne is a 6-1, 240 junior quarterback who also comes to Indiana State from Cincinnati. He did not see game action with the Bearcats but has spent time on

the travel squad at quarterback. Coyne spent a redshirt season at Cincinnati in 2011.

A native of Cincinnati, Coyne enjoyed a standout career at Badin High School where he suffered an injury in the team’s first game of the 2010 campaign. During his recovery, Coyne played tight end and punter. He played for the Midwest squad at ESPN’s second annual Champion Gridiron Kings event, a national 7-on-7 event that features 65 top-rated players during the summer of 2010.

Women’s basketball advances past Southern Illinois The Indiana State women’s basketball squad posted its second-straight lopsided win in Missouri Valley Conference action as it defeated Southern Illinois, 63-44, on Sunday afternoon. The Sycamores are now riding a five-game win streak to open up conference action and move to 10-6 overall and 5-0 in the Missouri Valley Conference.

The five wins to open up conference play mark the longest streak in head coach Teri Moren’s Indiana State career and longest since the 2008-09 season.

Senior guard Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir and junior forward Racheal Mahan each posted a team-high 15 points to lead things on the offensive end. Leading scorer Anna Munn led on the defensive end as she picked up a game-high nine rebounds.

Indiana State forced a season-high 27 turnovers on the day while picking up 14 steals. Five different Sycamores picked up two steals each as Indiana State posted its largest win over a Missouri Valley Conference school this season.

Along with her nine rebounds, Munn added seven points and a game-high four assists while junior guard Stephanie Wittman added six points. Junior forward Chelsea Small had five points and sophomore forward Marina Laramie added four points and four rebounds.

Mahan also picked up eight rebounds while Wittman added four as Indiana State

and Southern Illinois tied in rebounding, 41-41. Indiana State did earn the edge on the offensive glass, 13-7.

A struggling Southern Illinois squad (3-14, 1-5 Missouri Valley Conference) didn’t make it easy for the Indiana State as it came out quick taking an 8-2 in the first three minutes, forcing an Indiana State timeout.

Indiana State led by just seven, 31-23, at the break but didn’t hold its first lead until 13:39 into the first half on a pair of free throw by Munn.

Southern Illinois didn’t go down quietly, however, as it came within seven at the 8:06 mark on a good jumper by Sidney Goins. The Sycamores extended their lead back to nine right before the media timeout on a Mahan jumper. That sparked a 7-0 run that put Indiana State back up 57-42 with 4:32 to play as Indiana State would cruise to the 19 point win.

Indiana State shot just 38.6 percent from the floor on the afternoon (23-for-60) and posted one of its lowest percentages from the free throw line on the season, going 48.1 percent on just 13-for-27 shooting.

The Sycamores return home to host Missouri State and Wichita State on Saturday and Monday, respectively.

Saturday’s game versus the Bears will be seen live on ESPN3.

Men’s basketball fall to Wichita Shockers, 68-48 Ace Hunt ISU Athletic Media Relations Indiana State fell to No. 5 Wichita State 68-48 in front of a sell-out crowd inside Koch Arena. The Shockers were the highest nationally-ranked team the Sycamores have played since taking on No. 4 Michigan State in the 1979 National College Athletic Association Championship Game.

The Sycamores saw their seven-game winning streak come to an end as they fell to 14-4, 5-1 Missouri Valley Conference.

Wichita State improved to 19-0, 6-0 Missouri Valley Conference.

Indiana State was led in scoring by Dawon Cummings who hit a trio of 3-pointers and finished with 19 points.

Jake Odum became the first player

in the history of the Missouri Valley Conference to record 500 career made free throws as well as 500 career assists when he went 4-of-4 from the charity stripe late in the first half.

Dawon Cummings scored first for the Sycamores when he hit a 3-pointer in transition off the feed from Jake Odum to stake Indiana State to a quick 3-0 lead.

Cummings would drive to the basket for a lay-up with 16:16 left in the first half and after briefly losing the advantage, would lead 5-4.

A 3-pointer from Jake Kitchell at the 14:43 mark knotted the score at 8-8 before the Shockers scored seven in a row. A jumper from Khristian Smith with 10:03 on the clock broke the dry spell and got

the Sycamores within 15-10. Answering a Wichita State field goal, Arop had a putback and then a steal which led to a lay-up from Khristian Smith as Indiana State trailed 17-14.

In the final minute of the first half, Jake Odum went a perfect 4-of-4 from the free throw line as he connected on his 500th career charity toss. Odum’s four points got the Sycamores within 31-22 at the half.

The Shockers would score the first 11 points of the second half to stretch their lead to 42-22 before Khristian Smith hit a free throw at the 14:12 mark. Indiana State’s first field goal of the second half came with 12:15 on the clock with a Justin Gant tip-in. Gant’s bucket cut the Wichita State edge down to 47-26.

Jake Kitchell would hit a lay-up with just over nine minutes remaining in the contest to get the Sycamores within 56-33.

Cummings then hit a 3-pointer just over a minute later to make it 61-36. He stayed hot by drilling a 3-pointer on the next trip down the floor as the Sycamores inched closer at 63-39.

Khristian Smith hit a runner in the paint with just over four minutes left in the contest as Indiana State put together a 12-3 run to draw within 64-45. Jake Odum made it 15-3 with a 3-pointer as the clock ticked towards three minutes remaining and Wichita held on to a 64-48 advantage.

Indiana State returns to action on Wednesday when they travel to Loyola.
