Purdue’s heartache Purdue University is grieving for one of its own after engineering student Andrew Boldt was fatally shot on Tuesday BRIANNE HOFMANN Editor-in-Chief ANDREW CHRISTMAN News Editor Purdue University is in mourning after an isolated shooting has left one student dead and another in custody.

Around noon on Tuesday, Cody Cousins allegedly opened fire in the basement of Purdue’s Electrical Engineering Building, fatally wounding Andrew F. Boldt, 21, of West Bend, Wis. Purdue Police Chief John Cox said Cousins, 23, of Warsaw, Ind., fired four to five shots and exited the building. Police apprehended Cousins on the east side of the Electrical Engineering Building and was taken into custody.

A motive has yet to be determined and an investigation into the incident is ongoing. Both students were identified as seniors in the College of Engineering. The nature of the shooting, Cox said, “appears to be an isolated and intentional act and not a random shooting.”

Even after Cousins surrendered, students and faculty were told to remain sheltered in place until 1:15 p.m.

As of Thursday classes resumed and the main floor and upper levels of the Electrical Engineering Building were Hundreds of Purdue University students stand in silence Tuesday at a candlelight vigil reopened to faculty, staff and students. held for fallen student Andrew Boldt, who was gunned down that afternoon.

Winter mess:

Season is one of most expensive

Spots remain open for Spring Break trip CAMERON CALLAN Reporter Spring break may bring sandy beaches, frozen drinks with little umbrellas, and sunshine to mind. However, four groups of Indiana State University students are spending their week off performing community service.

Their efforts are a part of Alternative Spring Break, a service trip that has students traveling all over the country to work alongside community service organizations. This year the student-run project will include visits to Maryville, Tenn., Hubert, N.C., New Orleans, La., and Selma, Ala. Some students are also having the opportunity to go to Juan Dolio in

the Dominican Republic.

The Alternative Spring Break trip, which runs March 9 to March 15, is in it’s 11th year.

Past projects have included cleaning up the Gulf Coast, helping young children learn English, and assisting the victims of the tornado in Henryville, Ind., two years ago.

Over the years students like Elle Humbert have had enriching experiences with Alternative Spring Break.

“The experience was life-changing, probably the best college experience I have had,” said Humbert, a public relations major CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

However, rooms 065 and 067, where the shooting took place, remain closed for the rest of the academic year.

Prosecutors formerly charged Cousins with murder Thursday afternoon. He is currently being held in the Tippecanoe County Jail without bail. If convicted, Cousins could face 45 to 65 years in prison.

Mitch Daniels, Purdue University president, was on business in Colombia when the shooting occurred, but made arrangements to fly home immediately.

He released a statement, which was read at the candlelight vigil for Boldt Tuesday

“Violent crime, whenever and wherever is occurs, shocks our conscience and incites our rage.

When it happens in our home, to a family member — and as a Boilermaker Andrew Boldt was family to us — those emotions are more powerful still.”

“Violent crime, whenever and wherever it occurs, shocks our conscience and incites our rage,” Daniels said. “When it happens in our home, to a family member — and as a Boilermaker Andrew Boldt was family to us — those emotions are more powerful still.”

Indiana State University President Daniel J. Bradley also offered his condolences upon word of the student’s passing.

“Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family and friends of the student killed at Purdue University on Tuesday as well as to our colleagues and friends in West Lafayette,” Bradley said. “Unfortunately, this type of event can happen anywhere.”

A report of the shooting at 12:03 p.m., set off the university’s alert system.

Purdue University students returned to classes Thursday. The campus was on lockdown Tuesday afternoon and classes were canceled through Wednesday after senior engineering student Cody Cousins opened fire in the basement of the Electrical Engineering Building, fatally wounding fellow student Andrew Boldt (Photo courtesy of Purdue University Office of Marketing and Media).

The system is similar to Indiana State’s RAVE, using text messages, outdoor sirens, mass email and the university’s website to warn students.

Bradley urged the Indiana State community to sign up for RAVE. Upon signing up for the system, students and faculty as well as their spouses or parents can opt to receive instant alerts via text or email.

Should an active shooter event occur on campus, ISU interim police chief Joe

Newport said the university is prepared to respond.

“The university police train twice a year on emergency drills,” he said. “Three of the last five we have had emphasized active shooter scenarios.”

Newport advised students and faculty to contact 911 if there is any situation where people are in harm’s way.

“When notified, we will message the entire campus with instructions to shelter in place and avoid the problem

area,” he said. “We recommend those in classrooms to turn out lights, lock doors, move to an area where one cannot be seen from hallways, to stay put until an al clear message is sent and also to silence all phones.

Student government opportunities available for campus community

ANDREW CHRISTMAN News Editor The Student Government Association has many events coming up for the spring semester at Indiana State University.

Some of these events include Pizza and Politics, which will be held Jan. 29 in the library events area, and a table during the Student Org Expo Presidential and Senate elections are also just weeks away.

“Students can run for President and Vice President as a pair,” President Logan Valentine said. “They may also run for one of 35 senate seats.”

Andrew Garnes, a Senator for the Student Government Association, encourages students to be active with SGA in the elections.

“SGA actually affects student life,” Garnes said. “Students can and should vote on the people representing them.”

Garnes is not alone when it comes to encouraging students to be active with SGA. Director of Campus Life Bart Stucker has this same mentality and feels students should be involved.

“I never thought about getting involved in

SGA as the little experience I had was from 5th grade student council,” Stucker said. “However, once I realized how much of an impact that SGA has on campus and the group of leaders that makes up their ranks I knew I wanted to get involved.”

For those who want to be more active with the association without actually participating, can attend Gripe for Grub twice a month.

Students, faculty and staff can make their voices heard at these meetings on issues they witness on campus. During these meetings attendants can grab a quick snack and coffee if they choose.

Students more interested in sports can look into joining The Forest.

“The Forest is the student-run spirit section for athletic events,” Stucker said. “They are still looking for members in which you pay a oneyear fee of $10 to get a free Forest T-Shirt, early admission to athletic events, special seating for athletic events, and fun promotional items.

The next meeting students can sit in on will be held in the courtroom of Federal Hall Jan. 29 at 7:00 p.m.. More information about SGA and how to become a member are available through OrgSync.

Logan Valentine, Student Government Association President, gives an update on the organization at President Daniel J. Bradley’s 2013 fall address. The association will have elections for a new president and vice president in the upcoming weeks (Photo courtesy of ISU Communications and Marketing).

Winter season one of most expensive for campus Adler Ingalsbe Reporter Indiana State grounds crews are working constantly to battle one of the worst winters on record. Some students, however, aren’t satisfied with the progress the university has made.

Landscape and Grounds manager Stephanie Krull said this winter has been one of the worst she’s seen.

“The 12 inches of snow combined with subzero temps are the worst we have experienced in decades,” Krull said.

She said this has been one of the most expensive winters they’ve had in a while because of the large amounts of snow and ice Terre Haute has received.

“Ice melt product costs about $10 per bag on average, so this is probably our largest expense,” she said.

Along with the ice melt bags, the facility staff has to pay an outsourced company to clear the University’s parking lots, as well 12 to 18 staff members who use their hands and shovels along with other equipment such as: dump trucks, ice melt spreaders, tractors and bobcats.

The facilities and maintenance staff has several staff associates who work when the weather gets bad but are limited to a set amount of hours on the clock in order for them to get efficient sleep.

“We have seven equipment operators and 12 crew members who work on weather response. We limit our work days to 12 to 15 hours maximum,” she said.

Crew members typically work from 3:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., unless they are needed to work later in the day.

“I attempt to keep the hours of 7:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. sacred in order for all grounds staff to at least have a possibility of decent rest during their normal quiet hours of the day. This is why you generally don’t see grounds workers on campus during the evening hours,” Krull said.

Brad Ackman, a sophomore insurance major, was very appreciative of how hard the crew members worked on getting the University in good condition.

“Based on the amount of snow that fell on campus, I thought the workers did a fantastic job of clearing the sidewalks, especially considering the temperature,” Ackman said.

all areas are cleared within five to eight hours after the end of the snowfall,” she said.

Buchanan thinks the sidewalks on the inner parts of campus should be the first priority.

“I think a lot of the sidewalks around the buildings were cleared much better compared to other ones on the outside of campus,” Buchanan said.

Ackman also thought the sidewalks weren’t as clear compared to other areas of campus.

“I felt like the entrances to the building were the only things that were totally cleared. The amount of time we spend walking on sidewalks is more than walking into a building. I felt like the long sidewalks would have been important,” he said.

Connected at the hip: attached to our smartphones

Haley White

Columnist

I love my iPhone as much as the next person, sure. But seriously, how far are we going to go before something as simple as a handheld device completely dictates our entire life?

I applaud how far technology has advanced, but regardless how far we have come, we should never throw our “old life”

away.

What did we do before we spent every spare moment staring at our phone screen?

Smartphones are absolutely destroying our society. With constant use of our phones, we are deteriorating socially and are becoming dependent on them.

When was the last time you went a full day without checking your precious

phone, or even better, when was the last time you intentionally turned it off? I’m sure there is someone out there who thinks this would be quite impossible.

Something I’ve noticed about us and our smartphones is that we have, more or less, established a bond with them. More often than not, my iPhone is never too far away from me; I keep track of that thing like I gave birth to it.

And I’m not the only one. Two girls I share a class with were chatting with each other today. Out of all the things there are to talk about, they discussed how much they just totally love their iPhones and how they would be lost without them.

Albert Einstein was quoted for saying, “I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction.” Was this just a general statement, or was it that obvious that we as humans would fulfill this selfdestructive prophecy? Either way, one

point for Einstein.

Whether you are waiting for class to start, grabbing a quick meal or doing anything else, really, there is always one element in common; we can’t seem to do these things without our phones. That’s sad. Simply having a smartphone does not automatically make us antisocial.

However, whipping out our phones to pass the time instead of intermingling with those around us, does.

Smartphones, and the ungodly amount of apps available, have, without a doubt, made it easier to connect with others.

But does communicating and interacting with people via the internet count as socializing? Take for example the widely popular social media site, Facebook.

While this site allows people to reconnect and share personal experiences with their family and friends, how many people on their friends list do they actually

associate with? I know a guy who had so many “friends” on Facebook that he was blocked from sending and accepting friend requests; now that’s ridiculous.

We use these sites and rely on them so heavily because we are not satisfied with our social lives. In reality, this chain reaction only hinders us even more, and we need to realize that. Instead of ignoring those around you, welcome others and be open with them. NBC found that more than half of our nation own smartphones, and generally label their phone as a distraction.

Smartphone users have become so distracted that they are blinded to the world around them. While I agree it would be nearly impossible to stay clear of my iPhone in today’s age, this does not excuse us from building relationships.

If anything, we should be more socially involved now than ever.

Modern writers should let tired traditions retire

So for those of you who never cared, “Family Guy” killed off Brian, the dog, roughly a month ago. While most people, myself included, were puzzled by the fact that “Family Guy” was still on the air without their beloved, alcoholic pet, others were absolutely Columnist flipping out. Several petitions were created to beg Seth Macfarlane to bring him back; others to force Fox to force him to bring the dog back. Frankly, I’m impressed no one sent him a death threat since, that is the usual motive of fanatic fans of shows — see “Sherlock,” “The Hobbit,” “Game of Thrones” and “Doctor Who;” which I think is a sign of improvement. Eventually, like three or four episodes later, Brian came back through some kind of convenient wibbly-wobbly timey-wimey time travel plot device; and everyone on the internet

Jake Porter

seemed to think they won a great big victory. Just last week, Seth Macfarlane was interviewed and explained that he always intended to bring Brian back.

My thought is not “why would he do this?” Remember when I said that many people were surprised to hear that “Family Guy” still had new episodes? I wasn’t really joking. People have just stopped caring about the Griffins in the same way that no one really cares about “The Simpsons.”

Even “South Park” is starting to go that way, as well. The fact of the matter is that “Family Guy” is aging and they killed off Brian to make people pay attention again.

Of course, Brian is one of the two reasons anyone actually watches the show, so they can’t kill him off permanently. Instead, they pulled the old comic book shtick. It’s the same thing “Superman” did in the ‘90s, and “Batman” and “Captain America” did a few years back.

When a series loses viewers, the writers will kill off someone only to bring them back in order to keep the viewers happy.

“Captain America” kept up the façade longest, I think, by staying dead for almost five whole years. And that’s just including main characters. The second Robin in the Batman comics was killed off as part of a audience poll back in 1988, and even he came back roughly five to six years ago.

Macfarlane had the potential to do what few storytellers seem to have the stones to do — to kill off a popular character for plot reasons and keep him dead. The only person who’s ever done that properly is George R.R. Martin. Not only has he killed off fan favorites, but he’s also axed main characters and used this event to propel to story in a new direction. I am disappointed that Brian didn’t stay dead.

It’s not because I dislike the character. In fact, Brian was one of the two reasons I ever bothered watching it. If Macfarlane had kept the death intact and hadn’t replaced Brian with a one-joke character — Vinny the Italian dog — the decision would’ve had a longer lasting impact than a few more viewers for roughly a month.

Modern satirist, Seth Macfarlane took what was supposed to be a bold move by killing his main character (submitted photo).

As it stands, pretty much no one watches the show anymore, just like before they “killed off ” Brian. Way to make a statement, Seth.

Making time to be healthy should be top priority One of the most common excuses for not living a healthy lifestyle is time. None of us have all of the time in the world. Even when I feel like I can relax on the weekend, there are still 10 things in the back of my head that I am stressed about needing to have done.

There just never seems Nutrition to be enough time in Columnist the day without being an insomniac. You may not always be able to make time to watch “The Bachelor” or catch the game, but you can always make time to incorporate healthier lifestyle choices.

If your excuse for not working out is that you just cannot fit it into your hectic schedule, just remember that a 30-minute workout is about two percent of your day. Do not lie to yourself and pretend that you do not waste that amount of time on the Internet most days anyway.

However, a 30-minute workout may turn in into an hour when you add in changing clothes, getting to the Student Recreation Center, stretching, choosing your workout and carefully selecting the perfect Pandora station to get you motivated. By that point, you begin to tally all of the other items you could have checked off of your to-do list in that time. That is why home workouts can become your best friend. You can easily find short workouts on the Internet or make your own that can get you fairly sweaty, your heart rate up, and feel pretty accomplished about knocking it out quickly. High-intensity interval workouts are a great way to get your metabolism going and continue going throughout the day, and they do not have to be terribly lengthy for your body to reap the benefits.

You can also make a habit of doing a couple of specific activities when you get up in the morning or before you get into

the shower every night. My favorite way to incorporate being healthy is to first make a to-do list to get organized. Then whenever I get to mark off a task, I also do a brief workout such as 100 jumping jacks or 50 push-ups. It gives me a little mental break before rushing to the next item on my list.

Another great tactic is to incorporate movement into your studies. Your mind will actually be sharper and more awake if your blood is flowing. It could be advantageous to stand while you are reading your text book, take a brisk walk around the floor of the library when you get done writing a page, or run up the stairs once every hour if you’re going to be pulling that all-nighter. Studies show that 30 seconds to a minute of intense activity can be just as effective

for energy repletion as caffeine. So save the $2 you’re spending on coffee and add some sets of Burpees between your sets of flashcards — or even a spirited dance party break.

Small activities throughout the day can do wonders. Try taking the longer way to class to add a little longer walk. If you live in the dorms or have classes not on the first floor, make it a habit to take the stairs; honestly, it’s often faster than waiting on those elevators. If you live off campus, walk or ride your bike when it’s nice outside. That will also eliminate the stress of finding a parking space.

Fast food can be detrimental to a busy student. If you pack your meals or snacks ahead of time you will often feel obligated to eat what you packed so not to waste it. This way, you can determine

the health of what you will be eating that day as well as often saving money in the long run. It will take you about the same amount of time for you to pack your lunch the night before as it will for you to wait in line at McDonald’s around dinnertime.

Even during this chaotic time of balancing schoolwork, work and a social life, you can always find time to incorporate some healthier choices into your day. There are 8,760 hours in the year. So even if you only use 30 minutes of each day to get your heart rate up, you will still have 8,577.5 hours a year to do with as you please. The way you treat your body now will affect it greatly for years to come. Every little bit can help, so choose to make being healthy part of that to-do list.

Anna Munn named conference ScholarAthlete of the week

Senior guard Anna Munn was awarded Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete of the week (Statesman file photo).

xxSenior guard Anna Munn has been named this week’s Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Week, announced by the league on Wednesday.

Munn was honored for her performances in the Sycamores’ wins over Evansville and Southern Illinois.

Indiana State’s leading scorer showed her versatility this weekend as she helped her team improve to 5-0 in Valley play with road wins at Evansville and Southern Illinois. Against Evansville, the Indianapolis, native dropped a gamehigh 20 points, including 14 in the first half, and grabbed five rebounds as Indiana State posted its largest win of the season, 67-46.

Munn, a two-time Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete selection, went 7-for-14 from the field, 4-for-4 from three-point range and 2-for-2 from the line against the Purple Aces. In addition, she tied for a team-high four assists and recorded two steals in action Thursday evening.

On Sunday versus Southern Illinois,

Munn led on the defensive end as she picked up a team-high nine rebounds.

Munn also chipped in seven points and a game-high four assists in 27 minutes of action. On the week, the senior guard went .429 from the field and 1.000 percent from the line. She also recorded 14 total rebounds and eight assists.

Indiana State basketball teams face rivals at home

Students have two home games to look forward to this weekend, as men and women’s basketball teams host Saturday (Photo courtesy of ISU Communications and Marketing).

Alex Modesitt Reporter Fans of Indiana State basketball will get a double dose of dribbles and dunks as the Men and Women’s basketball teams each host a game on Saturday at the Hulman Center.

Women’s The Lady Sycamores play host to the Missouri State Lady Bears (7-9, 2-3 MVC). The Lady Sycamores will put their undefeated conference record on the line as they look to improve on their 5-0 start in conference play.

The Lady Sycamores will be led by senior guard Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir, the reigning Missouri Valley Conference Newcomer of the Week. Abdul-Qaadir

posted back-to-back double digit games on the road versus the Evansville Purple Aces and the Southern Illinois Salukis.

This marks the third conference award for Abdul-Qaadir this season.

Another key player for the Lady Sycamores heading into their bout with Missouri State this weekend is senior guard Anna Munn. Munn was recently named the MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week for her play against Evansville and Southern Illinois.

Munn is also the leading scorer for the Lady Sycamores so far this season with a 13.9 points per game average.

The tip-off for the women’s game is set for 2:05 p.m. ET. Men’s

A week after falling to nationally ranked Wichita State, the Sycamores look to continue their winning ways in the comfort of the Hulman Center.

The Men’s team will square off against the visiting Illinois State Redbirds (118, 4-3 MVC). The Sycamores will look to continue their hot play of late and win their ninth game in their last ten contests. The Sycamores enter the game in second place in the Missouri Valley Conference with a conference record of 6-1 and 15-4 overall.

After losing only their second game out of their last 13, against Wichita State, the Sycamores got back to their winning ways against Illinois-Loyola on Wednesday. They hope to continue this success when they host Illinois State on

Saturday.

The Sycamores will have to rely on senior guard Jake Odum to secure the win. Odum leads the Sycamores in points, 12.2 per game, rebounds, 4.4 per game, and assists, 5.1 per game. His ability to run the offense from the point guard position and help find favorable shots for his teammates will go a long way in determining the outcome of the game.

Senior guard Dawon Cummings will look to continue his strong play of late on Saturday. Dawon has scored in double figures in four of his last five games and has shot a scorching 40 percent from beyond the arc so far this season.

The tip-off for the men’s game is set for 6:05 p.m. ET.
