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.

Plans for 26 printers confirmed; Printing stations permanent Dustyn Fatheree
Assistant news editor
A student printing station sits in the commons, available to student use daily and monitored by OIT staff (Photo by Jamie Nichols).
The printers installed in the Hulman Memorial Student Union are permanent and plans for around 26 more printers are undergoing development. “We have a project of about 26 printer installations that we will be dispersing around campus,” said Yancy Phillips, the user services director of the Office of Technology. “We want to put them in each of the academic buildings so the students can have easy access to a printing station near all their classes.” Phillips said that the Office of Information Technology will begin scouting possible locations this month and next month. They have to identify power sources, networking, space, and print tracking systems before they can begin installing. The estimated time that the installations will be complete is by the next academic year.
“There wasn’t enough time for people to use the new printing stations in the HMSU,” said Phillips. “Once people know it is there, the number of prints will increase drastically.” Phillips said the printing station that was installed during the last two weeks of school had 61 prints during that time. There were 104 people total, that either printed or were assisted by asking questions about the printers. Office of Information Technology is looking to avoid vandalism by relying on the fact that the printing stations are located in a public place. A group out of Office of Information Technology does maintenance on the printing stations and will expand their services when the installations are complete. “I can guarantee that usage will climb once people know about the printing station,” Phillips said. “People can sit in the commons and print from right there.”

Crimes and Consequences
Campus police continue crime fighting during holiday break Man arrested on alcohol related charges CHRIS SWEENEY News editor
ISU police officers have arrested a man for operating a vehicle while intoxicated and causing property damage by a vehicle crash. According to an Indiana State University police report, John E. Vanatti, 72, of 9777 N. Stuthard St., was arrested on Dec. 21, after a short investigation revealed Vanatti had struck a concrete planter in Lot 24 at the northeast corner. The planter had been pushed several feet away from its original spot, according to the report. While talking to Vanatti, officers detected the smell of alcohol and observed him to have red and wa-
tery eyes and difficulty removing his wallet. According to the report, Vanatti agreed to a field sobriety test where he failed all the tests administered, including a portable breath test. According to the report, Vanatti was transported to Union Hospital to be medically cleared by hospital staff. A blood test revealed Vanatti had a blood alcohol content of 0.224. He was then transported to the Vigo County jail where he was booked and charged with operating a vehicle with a blood alcohol content greater than 0.15. Vanatti was scheduled to appear in Vigo County Division 5 Court on Dec. 22 at 11 a.m.

Res Life hiring RAs, APAs BRIANNE HOFMANN Opinions editor
Residential Life is hiring resident assistants and academic peer advocates for the 2012-2013 school year. RAs are assigned to every floor in the traditional halls, with the exception of Lincoln Quads. They’re largely responsible for developing communities within their floors, ensuring the safety of the residents and mediating roommate issues. “They’re kind of a social director of the floor in terms of just making sure that people’s experiences in the residence halls are positive,” said Jessica Robinson, assistant director for Student Development. Robinson added that RAs also perform a “hodgepodge” of administrative tasks, such as working at the front desk, checking residents in and out of the building and handling keys. Unlike RAs, APAs are only assigned to firstyear buildings and are there to help newer students make the academic transition into college. Stephanie Pearcy, associate director of Residential Student Success, said that APAs are “very knowledgeable about different types of academic issues” such as note taking, study skills and time management. Further, they work together with first-year students and academic advisors during schedul-
ing time. RAs also receive an extensive amount of training before and during their employment on building communities, diversity and emergency situations. APA training, however, is specifically geared towards first-year students and the struggles they may encounter. If students are interested in applying for either position, they must submit their applications by 12 p.m. on Feb. 10. Students can find the application on the Residential Life website, fill them out electronically and send them to ISUResLifeStaffSelection@gmail.com. Residential Life will then conduct interviews Feb. 24-26. Along with having strong leadership potential, candidates must be in good conduct standing with the university. They need to have lived in residential housing for two semesters and have positive references from one Res Life staff member and a previous employer or faculty member. Students applying for the RA position must have a semester and cumulative GPA of 2.5, whereas APA candidates must have a 3.0. Pearcy and Robinson agree that being an RA or APA is a beneficial experience, but they want students to know it’s not just about the free room and board. “It’s a great opportunity,” Robinson said. “It’s a lot of fun. But to be realistic, it is a large time commitment and it’s a lot of work. But it’s definitely rewarding work.”

ISU doctoral graduate named one of ‘40 New Voices of Quality’ Aaron Abel
Assistant features editor
A national technology and industry Publication has named an ISU alumna as one of its “40 New Voices of Quality.” Quality Progress named ISU doctoral graduate Nicole Radziwill in a list of individuals under the age of 40 who represent the best of the new generation of quality professionals. Radziwill said that in exponential times such as these where rapid mechanical reproduction of goods and automated customer service becomes the norm, it is comforting to know that voices such as hers can be heard over the clamor of cogs and wheels. “Being named one of ASQ’s 40 New Voices of Quality means that all of a sudden, my voice has been amplified,” Radziwill said, “and I thank the society for its confidence in my message.” Radziwill gained her Ph.D. in Tech-
nology Management from ISU in 2009. “The ISU program enabled me to explore creative and innovative ideas in quality management which I would probably not have been encouraged to pursue had I chosen a different university,” Radziwill said. She praises her experience at ISU and the skillset she developed in the process. “The greatest benefits I received from ISU are the deep professional alliances and friendships I developed with other students in the program, particularly at Residency, which will undoubtedly continue for years,” Radziwill said. And while Radziwill is both thankful to be given the opportunity to study at ISU as well as receive such a prestigious
recognition, her focus remains on the future. “I really want to develop the notion of quality consciousness and to encourage people to develop quality con-
personally and professionally with our goals and being attentive enough to focus on what we can accomplish in the present moment. She said she understands that change doesn’t come from just studying Kant and Descartes, but from applying our knowledge and understanding to tangible solutions. So while the motors whine and the conveyors turn, it may be this message from voice that needs to be heard more than any other: “The capitalist society has been focused on quantity and volume for a long time, and I don’t think that model is sustainable in a global or environmental sense,” Radziwill said. “I think if we’re going to promote a healthier Earth, it’s got to start by shifting our values to embracing durability again, even if that doesn’t come at Wal-Mart costs.”
“Being named one of ASQ’s 40 New Voices of Quality means that all of a sudden, my voice has been amplified, and I thank the society for its confidence in my message.” Nicole Radziwill, ISU graduate sciousness,” Radziwill said. “Quality consciousness can be summed up by the ‘three A’s’ – awareness, alignment, and attention.” Simply put, we all have something to gain by becoming aware of ourselves and our environment, aligning ourselves

Ella dela Pena Features editor
A group of 100 fourth and fifth graders watched a helicopter land on the Staunton Elementary School playground. The MedEvac helicopter appearance was the kickoff event to Project TAKEOFF or “Teaching Aviation Knowledge Educates Our Future Flyers.” Project TAKEOFF was co-designed by Maria Muia and Troy Allen, associate professor of aviation and former project manager for INDOT’s Aeronautics Department. Allen’s introduction to aviation course was taught for the first time in the fall, and the project was incorporated into a graded assessment. His group of 12 honors students assisted in educating the elementary students about different components of flying, such as drag, thrust and weight, Allen said. While the younger students were able
to ask questions about the field of aviation, the older ISU students gained a learning experience from the project, as well. “ISU focuses on experiential learning,” Allen said. “They took what they learned in the classroom, and they got to experience what it is like to be a teacher.” Project TAKEOFF was also a way to increase community engagement, Allen said. During their visit at Staunton, ISU students answered the fourth and fifth graders’ questions and also gave away prizes, such as frisbees, pens and duffle bags, provided by Army recruiters, ROTC and JROTC. Personal growth in his students is one outcome of Project TAKEOFF Allen is most proud of. “It really built upon their self-confidence,” Allen said. “They are really good students. They aren’t aviation majors, but they were called upon to be leaders.”

U.S. News rankings recognize online graduate nursing program Dave Taylor
ISU Communications and Marketing
U.S. News & World Report has recognized Indiana State University for its online graduate program in nursing in the magazine’s first national rankings of top online education programs. The Indiana State program earned the 20th position in the category of faculty credentials and training and appears in the 39th spot for student services and technology. ISU’s online graduate program includes master’s degrees in family nurse practitioner, nursing administration and nursing education and a doctor of nursing practice degree. “We are pleased U.S. News & World Report has recognized ISU’s online graduate nursing program in its inaugural ratings of online education and are especially gratified that the ratings recognize the experience and expertise of our faculty,” said Richard “Biff ” Williams, dean of the College of Nursing, Health, and Human Services. “Our faculty work diligently to deliver the same high quality education to distance students that they would receive in the classroom.” Lea Hall, chair of the department of advanced practice nursing, said it is an honor for the department to be recognized for the hard work and expertise of its faculty and student services. “Both play a vital role in achieving successful student outcomes. We are very proud of our quality programs and the services we provide our students as we continue to maintain excellence in online education,” Hall said. The department has also developed new online offerings, including a recently launched doctor of nursing practice degree, as part of an ongoing effort to address the nationwide shortage of health
care providers, added Williams. Recognizing the growing popularity of online programs, U.S. News said it created the rankings in response to today’s high demand for education provided in a flexible manner. The magazine ranked online bachelor’s degree programs as well as graduate online degree programs in business, engineering, nursing, education and computer information technology. While U.S. News has applied some of its rankings standards used for traditional schools, the magazine said it developed many new measures to evaluate online programs. In order to be considered for the rankings, online degree programs needed to have at least 80 percent of their course content available online. For the faculty credentials and training ranking, the publication considered the percentage of faculty with Ph.D.’s or other terminal degree as well as experience, training and continuing education in online instruction for faculty and a formal peer review system. Rankings in the category of student services and technology are based heavily on the level of online access to student services; whether classes are delivered via live streaming audio and video, recorded audio and video, software based readers and visual software. Courses are also organized into a student information system by the availability of online chatrooms and whether classes area available in a variety of formats, including tablet computers and smartphones. U.S. News collected data from both for-profit and not-for-profit schools. More information about the rankings is available at www.usnews. com/education/online-education or by finding “U.S. News” on Facebook or Twitter.

ISU engages community, plans for spring semester Day’Jonnae Riggins
Upcoming Events and Programs
Reporter
Indiana State University students have an opportunity next week to serve nonprofit organizations throughout the Wabash Valley during the Martin Luther King Day of Service. Students are invited to gather in Dede I beginning at noon Monday in order to participate in the day of volunteering. The event is being coordinated by the Center for Community Engagement. “Learning how to give is an important part of growing up and becoming a happy, productive individual. So, [ISU] is proud to be a part of that,” President Daniel J. Bradley said. The Center for Community Engagement helps students locate community service opportunities that enhance their education and help external organizations access and utilize university resources to improve the quality of life in the community.

Top 6 most unwanted Christmas gifts Whitney Neukam Reporter
If 2011 left you 1.

Graduate student performs geologic research in Botswana Mallory Metheny
ISU Communications and Marketing
Dustin Stargel never imagined he would sleep in close proximity to a hippopotamus. “In the morning, you’d get up and see this big depression in the ground and realize one just slept 20 feet from where you guys were at,” Stargel said. The hippos, along with lions, rhinoceroses and other wild game, greeted Stargel, a first-year graduate student at Indiana State University, when he traveled to Botswana this past summer for six weeks to conduct geologic research along the Okavango River Delta. Traveling with the International Research Experience for Students program through Oklahoma State University, Stargel collaborated with three other American students and four Botswana students. “I think the overall [goal] is to hopefully link up different geologists and scientists internationally and to show that it’s very exciting to work abroad,” he said. Originally from Marion, Ind., Stargel earned his undergraduate degree from Indiana University in geology and is currently pursuing a master’s degree in quaternary and earth sciences at ISU. The research conducted along the Okavango River Delta focused primarily on studying carbon cycling dynamics, which entailed collecting many samples for water chemistry, including 24hour diel samplings. Students stayed awake an entire night, testing the water every hour. Jennifer Latimer, associate professor of geology at ISU, connected Stargel with the OSU program in Botswana and its director, Dr. Eliot Atekwana. “The Okavango Delta in Botswana is an important water resource for the region. It also has a complicated history of tectonic, environmental and human-caused changes in the area,” Latimer said, “As climate continues to change, it is important to understand how different geologic processes have impacted this valuable water resource in order to better plan for the future environmental change.” The research on the Delta also contributed to Stargel’s personal research for his master’s thesis. Traveling to Botswana allowed him the opportunity to engage in his research topic firsthand. There used to be a large ancient lake (PaleoLake Mababe) in the area, and Stargel’s research focused on using geochemical techniques to

(Photo courtesy of ISU Communications and Marketing) evaluate how the lake environment changed over time in response to tectonic adjustments and natural climate change. While the students were in Botswana collecting samples for water chemistry, they also collected sediment samples for Stargel’s research. “It personally allowed me to experience my research site. It gave me better insight into my research. It also gave me a chance to personally get involved in the fieldwork and processes of collecting samples.” Stargel will analyze the sediment cores in the Biogeochemistry Laboratory at ISU, which will include the dissolution of the sediment samples and determination of metal concentrations. The process could take up to a year. A well-seasoned traveler with visits to more than 10 countries, Stargel conceded that this trip to Botswana was “the most rugged.” “The majority of the time we were camping and going around to different sites. We had to start a fire to keep warm because it was winter there, and we made our own food and went out and bought supplies,” he said, “We’d go without showers for a few days or be hungry for a while.” Sometimes local farmers and landowners sold the group chickens, which the students needed to butcher themselves.
“I was not expecting that,” Stargel said with a smile. One result of the research experience was a new appreciation for the higher education resources in America. “It’s a luxury to have a laboratory. I never thought that until I went out there,” Stargel said, “How difficult it must be for [graduate students in Botswana] to write their thesis.” The lack of laboratories in underdeveloped areas requires students to send samples and research away. Because this is a costly venture, research is often not properly conducted. Stargel understands the significance of research, both as a graduate and undergraduate student. “It strengthens your education, gives you more of a well-rounded view and you can come to your own conclusions [after] reading a textbook,” he said. Latimer wants her students to experience research abroad, just as Stargel did. “As geologists, we often get to travel to many different areas around the world for fieldwork,” she said, “These opportunities provide experiences that often cannot be attained in a classroom setting because you are often immersed in a different culture and a different geologic setting.”

FRISCO, Texas - Indiana State sophomore tailback Shakir Bell tied for second in the Walter Payton Award voting as announced at the FCS Awards Banquet presented by The Sports Network and Fathead.com at the Frisco Convention Center on the eve on the NCAA FCS Championship Game. Bell is the first sophomore to be invited to the Walter Payton Award ceremony and is also the first Sycamore to be invited as well. The Walter Payton Award goes to the most outstanding player in the FCS Football Subdivision and was voted upon by a panel of national media, sports information directors and other dignitaries. Bo Levi Mitchell of Eastern Washington won the award with 453 votes, including 57 first place votes. Bell tied with Chris Lum of Lehigh with 219 points. Bell received 10 first place votes, 20 second place votes, 12 third place votes, 18 fourth place votes and 17 fifth place votes. Bell has been named earlier this season to a school-record for First Team All-America squads. He was also named First Team All-Missouri Val-
ley Football Conference as well as the MVFC Offensive Player Of The Year. Bell led the nation in rushing with 1,670 total yards and a 151.8 per game average. His 1,670 yards this season broke the school record for single-season rushing yards and rank eighth in league history. Bell also broke the single-game rushing record when he rushed for 256 yards and four touchdowns on 21 carries in ISU’s victory over Youngstown State on Sept. 24. Those 256 yards against the Penguins are the 12th highest single-game total in MVFC history. For the year, Bell hit the end zone 14 times. Bell had the chance to interact with former NFL great Jerry Rice as well as the mother of Walter Payton during the evening. He will participate on January 7 in a youth clinic and autograph session at Tailgate City located next to Pizza Hut Park prior to the FCS National Championship Game between Sam Houston State and North Dakota State. His second place finish in the Walter Payton Award voting is tied for the best ever by a member of the Missouri Valley Football Conference and is the highest ever by a member of the Indiana State Football Team.
