Security increases in HMSU Nick Hedrick Reporter

Hulman Memorial Student Union officials are enhancing security measures to provide added protection for late-night patrons. Extra security cameras will be installed throughout the first floor of the building, ISU Public Safety officers are planning added walking patrols and students will soon have to swipe their Sycamore ID cards to access the student union in overnight hours, said HMSU director Judy Conner. Earlier this month, HMSU extended its operating hours to provide another place for students to study and socialize. Portions of the building’s first floor now remain open until 2 a.m. Sunday through Thursday, past the previous closing time of midnight. The building still closes at midnight Friday and Saturday. Eleven new cameras will watch over the north entry, main vestibule, Commuter

Connections and quiet lounges and the hallway in front of Dede I, Conner said. They were purchased at $725 a piece, including materials and labor costs, and add to the 13 existing cameras placed mostly at entry and exit points and near large inventories of equipment and supplies, Conner said. She said HMSU officials did not consider installing cameras to monitor the building’s exterior, which she said are well lit and heavily patrolled by ISU Public Safety officers. Inside, officers will mainly watch out for “people with no business at the university coming in after hours.” she said officers would be in regular contact with HMSU staff through telephones and walkie-talkie radios. Conner said additional student staff would keep an eye on foot traffic, as well. Later this semester, door counters will be installed at the HMSU’s entry and exit points to track the number of people inside

the building at all times, Conner said. In reviewing the figures, HMSU officials will take into account persons who simply walk through the building en route to another destination. “So, it’s important to know who you’re taking care of,” she said. The ID-swiping system should be in place by spring break, Conner said. After midnight, students won’t be able to enter the building without swiping their cards— similar to the policies in place late at night in the residence halls. Conner said the HMSU’s extended hours are part of a trend of other student unions staying open later. But she said it’s too early to accurately determine student response. “In terms of the usage numbers, we aren’t able to really compare apples to apples yet,” she said. “It will be interesting to see what unfolds during the rest of the semester.”

Jade Conrad, Student Advertising Manager, 237-4344 ISU-statesmanads@mail.indstate.edu 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.

The IKON Resource Center will be moving to the building that used to house the First Financial Bank next to George’s Cafe. Currently located in the Hulman Memorial Student Union, IKON is utilized for the printing and copying needs of ISU students. With the move, Campus Cupboard will be expanding into the area that IKON is currently occupying. This expansion will allow Campus Cupboard to acquire more and different products to sell, said Sue Sluyter of ISU’s Food Committee. “There is a proposal on the table to expand Campus Cupboard. We are working out a lot of the details,” Sluyter said. A schematic drawing has been created to provide an idea of what the expansion could look like. Now, those involved with the expansion are deciding if the present design is what

they are actually wanting. When it comes to the cost of the project, not much is known. “That is the big question at this point… It’s a process,” Sluyter said. In February, a team is planning on presenting the plans for finalization. The completion of the transition of Campus Cupboard is set for fall when ISU reopens for the 2012-2013 academic year. Additional space will allow for excess food to be able to be purchased from Campus Cupboard. The shop will have its packaged food, but with the expansion, an emphasis will be placed on the availability of fresh food, as well, like their fruit cups. More room will permit the presence of additional fresh fruits, sandwiches, cheeses and soups. There is also the idea of developing a salad bar, but the decision is still in the air. “We are excited about improving Campus Cupboard by improving, by leaps and bounds, the food products,” Sluyter said.

Happy Facebook photos aren’t to blame for depression Facebook has collected an abundance of labels since its debut in 2004—innovative, ever-changing, controversial…and depressing. But what about Facebook, exactly, makes people so sad? Utah Valley University (UVU) recently conducted a study to find the answer, and what they discovered was peculiar. Cheerful photos posted by friends on Facebook were the culprit behind the melancholy. According to the Yahoo! article “Facebook: Friends’ Happy Pictures Make You Sad?” users get upset after viewing photos of their pals’ good times because they believe their friends’ “conveyed sense of intense happiness is real.” As a result, users are envious, and feel that their lives pale in comparison to those of their friends’. However, as an avid social networker, I can assure you that “happy photos” are the last things that cause me any grief. Facebook has become a dumping site for our frustrations. When our relationships end, when a loved one dies, or even when the little annoyances dig at us, we cry on Facebook’s shoulder. We do it because we crave attention; because we believe by posting our problems for hundreds of people to see, as opposed to calling one per-

son for comfort, we’re guaranteed sympathy. Since just about all of us are guilty of it, our newsfeeds are naturally pessimistic. We expose ourselves to this pessimism multiple times on a daily basis. What happens, though, is that our viral pity parties wear on “friends’” nerves. We begin to measure sympathy and compassion by the number of comments or “likes” we receive, and when those stop, our depression worsens. Facebook also allots the opportunity for cyber bullying, stalking and senseless arguing. For example, a very opinionated “friend” of mine posted a status about a professor last week, which then sparked a mudslinging fest. And the crazy part? People openly acknowledged that the fighting was absurd, yet it dragged on between those same people for 70 comments. Facebook grants us the chance to exercise free speech, but it sets us up for a backlash, as well. In that situation, no one wins. Utah has confused childish envy with sadness; the issue is much bigger than that. Facebook is depressing, but only because it brings the evils of society to the forefront. Before the Internet came along, we knew there was misery in the world, yes—we could see it on television or read it in the papers—but it’s never been shoved down our throats the way it is with social media now.

Mancaves serve as safe haven from ‘she-devil’ wives Thomas Hardesty Politically Direct

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the term, a mancave is an area, usually a room, designated to the man in a relationship. They’re usually designed to fill out his ideal ‘space’, a recluse to escape all of his wife’s unnecessary feminine girly trappings in the house, like decorations that are way too expensive and have no function or only have names in French. Also, it’s a way to get away from those screaming little curtain-climbing tax shelters. The real purpose for a mancave can be found in “10 Essential Items for Your mancave” at apartmentratings.com. Many items are predictable, such as games, a refrigerator and/or bar, a poster of rules and a stripper pole. The last item, I’m sure for many men, is strictly for show. The website did have a good reason for including a stripper pole: “you know your [male] friends are going to mess around on them.” If someone were to actually hire strippers to come into their mancave, it would violate what is always across the board Rule no. 1: NO WOMEN. Also, I’m sure their wives would not only destroy the mancave when they found out, but would also replace it with a room called Cave for Person Formally in Possession of Male Anatomy. The most telling item on their list is rule no. 3: a door. Men do want their Fortress of Solitude, a place to escape. Even if a man is happily married, if he doesn’t have some space to at least create the illusion of alone time, then other problems might arise. Why is this so essential in a relationship? Why do men (notice how I don’t include myself in order to create a false sense of perspective and authority) need a door to block them off from the rest of the world, or more specifically, the rest of their

house? I think a recent episode of “House Hunters” holds the answer. For those of you who don’t know, this show tracks couples looking at different houses and shows their conversations and reasoning for choosing a certain house. Many times, women claim, it comes down to space and amenities versus location. But let’s face it: it always comes down to what the woman wants. Since the dawn of creation, women have been ruling the roost in terms of space. Try and deny it all you want, but I’m sure thousands of years ago, Susy was telling Grog “No put fire there. Must light fire here, so it create nice transition from mud puddle to cave” and Grog’s illusion of any say in the cave quickly vanished. One poor sucker on “House Hunters” made Grog’s situation look like a piece of cake, though. This guy, let’s call him Sherman, was married to a pretty little my-way-or-the-highway, man-eating-she-devil. Although he was going to pay more than $300,000 for a house that was way too big for a newlywed couple, she didn’t like how the brand-new stainless steel kitchen appliances clashed a little with the marble countertop, so no deal. Nevermind the four bedrooms and three bathrooms—she wasn’t happy. I do feel sorry for this guy, but, ultimately, I have to say “You married her, moron.” I use Sherman as an extreme example for what every man feels when buying a new home. Though they may not be married to man-eating she-devils, most men don’t have control over most of their house. None. Zero. And ladies, you know that’s not going to change, so please, let him have his 10x12 mancave so you can once again create the illusion that he is in control.

“Though they may not be married to maneating she-devils, most men don’t have control over most of their house. None. Zero.”

SOPA provides little protection, enforces extreme punishment One of the things that is inescapable in the United States is Congress’s latest attempt at censoring the Internet. With the Stop Online Piracy Act and Protect IP Act, the Internet as we know it could be forever changed. While the storm has calmed some after the Jan. 18 blackout that played a large part of the shelving of SOPA, there is still concern for PIPA. Everyone from famous musicians to average kids like you and me are raising a lot of questions. The stack I have is plenty high, but the one I would like to raise is why is it considered logical to stop the flow of music, in order to protect a middleman’s pocketbook? From what I know, the musicians themselves don’t make very much off of the record sales they bring in—It is mostly from concerts and appearances of late night television or other things of that nature. Most of them could honestly care less if you listen to their music for free on YouTube because they’re happy that you are listening at all. For the most part, they still make money from their fans that support them and live comfortable lives. Metal band front man Randy Blythe put it wonderfully when he spoke with Noisecreep saying, “I’ve been poor plenty of times. I was poor for a long, long time in this band, literally homeless at times. I’m not particularly worried about getting rich, that’s not why I do this. I make a good living, a lot of people don’t. To me it’s a ridiculously easy choice…would I rather live comfortably in a nice house as an

indentured servant or would I like to live in the ghetto as a free man? I’ll take the ghetto any day.” A lot of the artists aren’t going to split hairs over being able to live a little bit more comfortably if it means giving up some essential freedoms that allow us unlimited access to information. It is not the creators that have an interest in nickel and diming to make sure they see all of the profit from their music. Most of them just want to be heard and enjoyed because that is what music is supposed to be about. Giving the entertainment industry the ability to shutdown any website they want without due process seems extreme. Legislation already exists that allows for those committing piracy to face charges. But it allows for a more democratic process that apparently is just not good enough according to the Congress. The existing legislation only protects against the big bad men like Napster who intentionally pirate music illegally and share it with others. They want it to include that kid who just wanted to spice up his project without contacting the record company before doing so. It is a lot like when you plagiarize. Those of us who don’t cite the source should probably fail class, but those of us who do give credit are following the rules. SOPA would change the laws so that even if you said Matchbox Twenty owns the rights to the music you are using in a project, you would be committing a crime.

“...why is it considered logical to stop the flow of music in order to protect the middleman’s pocketbook?”

Lamba Chi Alpha accepted their first class memebers into their chapter Saurday evening for the first time in ten years. Alumni members, associate members, active members of Lambda Chi Alpha at Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology and members of the local Greek community were present. Joe Citro, Brandon Hebert and Aaron Gomeztrejo are all consultants for Lambda Chi and were in attendance, as well. “In today’s ceremony, the [men] will become associate members,” Citro said during the event. The inductees agreed to the rules of the fraternity, including the four pillars: sound learning, morality, patriotism and brotherhood, said Hebert. “It’s exciting to have [Lambda Chi Alpha] back on campus,” director of Residential Life and Lambda Chi Alum, Rex Kendall said. “Any time we bring a new organization in which students can join, especially in Greek society, it’s exciting.” Members of Rose-Hulman’s Lambda Chi chapter led the ceremony. “We’re really glad to have brothers so close to us, and we hope to help them become better men,” president of Rose-Hulman’s Lambda Chi Alpha chapter, Evan Wilson said. In 1997, the president of Lambda Chi Alpha was killed outside of Simrell’s Bar, located on South Seventh Street, one street down from the chapter house. Membership dwindled from over 80 members to a handful within a couple of years, executive director of the Alumni Association and Lambda Chi Alpha alumni member, Charles DeMaio said. Even after their leave from ISU, Lambda Chi alumni and supporters maintained their presence on campus, including growing alumni presence at the annual Homecoming tent, DeMaio said.

Despite a career high scoring performance from senior Deja Mattox, the Bluejays capped off a 14-2 run to end the game with a jumper near the top of the key, by sophomore guard Carli Tritz as the final buzzer sounded. Mattox finished the game for the Sycamores with 25 points, shooting 7-14 (50 percent) from the field and 10-11 (91 percent) from the free throw line. Brittany Schoen and Taylor Whitley joined Mattox in double figures, tossing in 11 points and 10 points respectively. Carli Tritz led the Bluejays with 19 points, scoring 17 in the second half. The loss moves ISU to a 10-8 record on the season and 4-2 in the Missouri Valley Conference, while CU improves to 9-8 on the season and 3-3 in the conference. The Bluejays struck first with a layup less than 10 seconds after the tip, which led to a 9-2 run to start the game. With 12:45 left in the first half, the Sycamores took their first lead thanks to a steal and fast break layup from freshman Natasha Zurek. The Sycamores ended the first half on a 16-5 run and entered the locker room with a 36-27 lead.

With 10:05 remaining in the second half, Schoen hit a 3-point jumper to give ISU a 12 point lead; their largest lead of the night. Creighton’s full court pressure then began to force an array of turnovers by the Sycamores during a stretch that the Bluejays scored on five straight possessions igniting a 12-0 run. “Their press kept us from getting into anything offensively”, ISU Head Coach,Teri Moren said. Tritz, last season’s MVC Freshman of the Year, scored seven of Creighton’s 12 points during the run. With the score tied at 62-62, the Bluejays rebounded a Schoen missed 3-point field goal attempt with 26 seconds left in the game. Following a timeout with 15 seconds on the clock, Tritz received a high ball screen at the top of the key, drove to the free-throw line and buried a jumper to win the game for Creighton.

Lady Sycamores cope with a tough loss MEL LOVEALL & VICTORIA PACHAUER Assistant sports editor & Reporter

The Indiana State Women’s basketball team was defeated by Drake 67-59 Sun. evening at the Hulman Center. Both ISU and Drake hold a record of 4-3 in the Missouri Valley Conference. The Lady Sycamores led the game up until the fourth quarter, when Duke senior forward Rachael Hackbarth stole the lead 49-50 with a jump shot. From that point the Bulldogs maintained the lead, eventually winning the game 67-59. Drake opened the game with a lay-up by sophomore guard Morgan Reid. However, senior guard Brittany Schoen quickly retaliated with a solid 3-point shot. Schoen scored double digits by the second half of the game, totaling 11 points. Throughout the first half, the lead changed 7 times and the

score tied twice. The Sycamores went into half-time leading 3128. By the end of the game, Schoen had a total of 16 points, 12 of which were captured by 3-point shots. Junior guard Taylor Whitley trailed close behind with a total of 12 points. “We have a great time, we all play hard, and I believe we have a great future ahead of us,” said freshman forward Racheal Mahan. Head Coach Teri Moren said that although she was disappointed with her team’s loss, the season is far from over. She also said that they are still figuing out how to be successful, and the team struggles with finishing games. Schoen said that Mahan has an optimistic outlook for the team and their success in the future. Both Moren and Schoen agree that Mahan has great potential. This was Mahan’s first encounter against career-high forward Hackbarth. The Lady Sycamores will be back in action Friday against Missouri State University. Tip-off is scheduled for 8p.m.

No. 18 Creighton blows past Sycamores 75-49 Ernest Rollins Sports editor

The Indian State men’s basketball team recorded their fifth consecutive loss of the season Saturday in their match-up against no. 18 Creighton University. The Sycamores were defeated by the Bluejays 49-75 in the conference road game. The loss drops the team’s overall record for the season to 11-9, and 2-7 in the Missouri Valley Conference. “We’re struggling. We are not making shots and I think that affects us on the defensive end. It’s been a common theme and it starts and ends right here,” Greg Lansing, ISU men’s basketball head coach said. “We hang our heads with missed shots and let it affect us on the defensive end. We got guys taking turns missing assignments. It’s a recurring theme and that is on the head coach and we are going to stick to it and we are going to get better and that is all we can do.” ISU senior guard Dwayne Lathan led the Sycamores in scoring with 15 points and was the only Sycamore to reach double figures. Creighton University’s top scorer was Doug McDermott with 12 points. McDermott entered the competition averaging 23.4 points per game and was the center of the Sycamores’ focus on defense. “You prepare for those guys (McDerrmot),” Lansing said. “I think he is the most underrated

player in the league. He draws a lot of attention. We did a tremendous job.” However, even with ISU defense containing McDermot the Bluejays knocked down 24-55 shots from the field, shooting 14-25 (56 percent) in the first half of play. The Sycamores struggled to find the bottom of the basket hit 16-49 shots from the field (32.7 percent). “They are very unselfish. They defend, they compete, they got a lot of weapons. They might have the best I.Q. of any team I’ve seen in a long time and that just speaks volumes of their head coach,” Lansing said. The Bluejays opened the score with a jumper by Antoine Young and never ceded the lead for the rest of the game. The Sycamores trailed the Bluejays by four with 9:29 remaining in the first half but Creighton opened up the deficit to as large as 14 points, 29-15, on a 10-0 run. A buzzer beating jumper by Creighton’s young would send the Bluejays into the half comfortably on top with a lead of 17, 42-25, going into the locker room. The Bluejays kept momentum going into the second half with a 11-2 run that extended their lead to 25 points, 59-34. Creighton would close out the game with a couple three pointers by Matthew Dorwart and Ross Ferrarini to end the game 75-49, Bluejays. The Sycamores return to the Hulman Center Wednesday night to take on the University of Northern Iowa Panthers. The Sycamores would be looking to break their current losing streak. Tipoff is scheduled for 7:05 p.m.
