Amy Ann Holbert, an instructor in the department of baccalaureate nursing, was arrested by Terre Haute police officers at a Walgreens located at 13th Street and Wabash Avenue. In a probable cause hearing on Wednesday, Sgt. Doug Bensinger of the Terre Haute Police Department testified that a Walgreen’s pharmacist received a suspicious prescription that was later identified as false. The pharmacist alerted police, who went to the scene and were present when Holbert attempted to pick up the prescription, Bensinger said. Holbert appeared in Vigo County Court Division 6, where Judge Michael J. Lewis found probable cause for her
arrest. Holbert is scheduled to return to court on Monday at 1:30 p.m. to answer for the charges. Neither Holbert nor Indiana State University officials were willing to comment Wednesday. According to the ISU nursing faculty Web page, Holbert graduated from ISU in 2006 with a Bachelor of Science degree in nursing. She also earned a Master of Science degree from ISU in fall 2010 with a concentration in family nurse practitioning. Holbert began as an adjunct faculty member at ISU in 2006. She has a background in intensive care unit and emergency department nursing.

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.

ISU library purchases Debs’ letters
Jennifer Sicking
ISU Communications & Marketing
Cinda May sat with the phone to her ear listening as the auctioneer in New York City said “Holding, holding.” “I’m thinking, ‘yes, yes,’ then a third bidder came in,” May said. May continued bidding and bought 20 letters that union organizer, presidential candidate and Terre Haute-native, Eugene Debs, wrote to his nephew, Robert Heinl, from 1893 to 1925. “I felt very strongly that they really needed to be here,” said May, special collections chair at Indiana State University’s Cunningham Memorial Library. In the handwritten and typed letters, which join about 6,000 other items in the library’s Debs Collection, Debs wrote personal and political news to his favorite nephew, as Heinl grew up to become a newspaper columnist and editor in New York and Washington. In one of the more important letters dated Sept. 26, 1918, two weeks after Debs was found guilty of sedition, he tells his nephew that such a verdict was “inevitable.” “If my position is right nothing else matters, and I am absolutely sure that it is, as sure as I am of my own soul. What the world in its present madness says or thinks or does is nothing to me,” Debs wrote in the letter. He also alluded to a difference of opinion between the uncle and nephew, “I know my position from your point of view is indefensible and it would be a sheer waste of time to argue about it...We may be very widely separated in our views,

but our hearts toward each other will remain unchanged.” Such letters provide an important link to Debs during a 30-year period when he worked to organize unions, found the International Workers of the World, lead the Socialist Party and run for president five times, according to May. Debs made his last presidential run, in 1920, from prison and received 913,664 votes. The collection also includes a letter to Heinl from his uncle, Theodore Debs, brother of Eugene Debs, who served as secretary to his brother. In the March 13, 1921, letter, Theodore wrote, “The Boss is still animated with the old spirit and you can gamble your last dollar that he will not allow these p---ants to humiliate him or put anything over without a vigorous come-back, even if he is in prison.” President Warren Harding commuted Debs’ prison sentence to time served and he was released on Dec. 23, 1921. “They do contain information about what is going on in his life. It shows his Eugene Debs wrote letters to his nephew, Robert Heinl, from 1893 to 1925 (Photo human side,” May said. “They provide a courtesy of Communications and Marketing). window into the family.” Letters provide an important link to influential figures and allow historians to study a period and a person, according to May. “It may be the only place to find certain kinds of information,” she said. “There’s a comfort zone that you’re in when you’re communicating with kin.” In a letter in August 1914, Debs writes to his nephew about presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan, “Strange how many people here seem to think of him almost as a god. In the final searching analysis of history he will almost if not entirely disappear from view.” In another letter written in Cleveland in September 1914, Debs wrote about World War I, “These are stirring days and it sometimes seems as if the world were stark mad and our so-called civilization bent upon destroying itself from the face of the earth. The carnival of blood and iron in Europe is frightful and enough to fill me with pity and horror. But if it will finally make for the overthrow of such savages as William and Nicholas and the vampires they represent, it will at least make some atonement for its awful cost of humanity.” The letters will be stored in ISU special collections and available for researchers to view. Special collections is located on the third floor of the library and is open Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to noon and from 1 to 5 p.m. Letters written by Eugene Debs’ (Photo Courtesy of Communications and Marketing).

Trending now: Twitter As reported in the Yahoo! article “Nickelback Haters Get a Taste of Their Own Medicine on Twitter,” Canadian rock band Nickelback recently found criticism in an unexpected place: Twitter. While normally very congenial towards their more than 140,000 fans on Twitter, Nickelback decided to fire back some snarky replies at each of the people who have been directing insulting tweets towards them. With as much negative attention as NickelKyle back has received elsewhere, I can’t fault them Seeley for trying to rile up their detractors. Twitter is a medium where such exchanges between indiSocial viduals are easily achieved. Medium However, Nickelback and their critics are using Twitter atypically. Ideally, a celebrity will use the site to interact with their fans on a more personal level, tweeting about their projects, answering questions or sharing their thoughts, but this is not its only use. Whether you use the website or not, many of you have at least a passing familiarity with the social networking service, Twitter. These days, pretty much everyone and their grandmother has a Facebook account, but not everyone has been so quick to adopt Twitter. Many dismiss the potential of it immediately, either on preconceived notions of its uselessness or unwillingness to adapt to new media. The website describes itself as a “real-time information network that connects you to the latest information about what you find interesting.” This happens via short bursts of information called “tweets,” capped at 140 characters; you could think of it as micro-blogging or a standalone version of Facebook’s status updates. By subscribing to another user, you become one of their “followers” and have easy access to the information they wish to share. With that explanation, one might wonder exactly what types of information people actually share using Twitter. The answer to that is as diverse as the people who make up its user base. Kate, an active user, stated that she simply felt “Twitter’s purpose is to let people just say what’s on their minds and stuff.” There is certainly a narcissistic quality to Twitter at times. “Honestly, it allows people to feel important, right then and

there. You won a game of pool? Now everyone knows, seconds after it happened,” says Travis Braun, a non-Twitter user. “The sooner someone knows, the more gratifying it is.” Many people share this impression about the service, believing it to be a vainglorious waste of time; but Twitter has many beneficial purposes. Jordan Frazier, a linguistics major at the University of Oklahoma, explained that one of her professors utilizes Twitter to keep his students updated about thoughts that he has regarding his their readings. While this sort of interaction may not be the standard for communication between professors and students, it is definitely a way of opening up an additional channel of communication and enabling easier access to information and assistance for parties on both sides. Allec Ribeiro, a Brazilian Twitter user, uses the site to collect his thoughts and calm himself down, but this wasn’t always the case. “It was quite hard to understand what this is all about for awhile, until I started using it the way I do today,” Riberio explained. The biggest barrier, perhaps, to enjoying everything that which Twitter has to offer is figuring out exactly what to use it for. Initially, I tweeted very little and was unsure about what to do with my account, opting to just follow celebrities or companies that I was interested in. Soon enough, however, a whole new world opened up for me when I started making friends and contacts with like-minded people, not just from my own city or country, but the entire world. Before I knew it, I was reading about the lives of an international web of friends, sharing conversations, exchanging advice, and even helping each other with things like homework or in this case, a newspaper article. Social networks like Twitter certainly aren’t for everyone, and while it’s important to maintain physical relationships with other individuals, in this increasingly digital age we live in, much can be gained from keeping an open mind towards the connectivity that these virtual communities can offer. Like any form of technology, it can be used for the wrong reasons, as was the situation between Nickelback and their rivals. Despite this, whether interacting with your favorite celebrities, sharing what’s on your mind, making new friends, or supplementing classes, Twitter’s potential benefits vastly outweigh the negatives.

Boring State of the Union address leads to drinking games Tuesday evening, we crowded around our TVs for the State of the Union address, eager to watch President Barack Obama deliver a rousing speech. But, as is the case with most situations in life, it was really another excuse for Americans to get our drink on. Why wouldn’t we? Sitting through any politically-based speech is about as entertaining as listening to someone read a dictionary cover to cover; both are informative experiences, but they’re unnecessary. Reflect on Tuesday and the keys points President Obama made. Can you remember what he said? Brianne exactly Unless you were already mentally invested, Hofmann my assumption is that you don’t remember because you didn’t care. And it’s likely Write and much that you were apathetic because you’ve got 24hour access to the news—the media told you Wrong everything you needed to know. Or you didn’t pay attention because the speech is the same each year: “[Obligatory, long-winded story about war efforts], [premature assurance that we’re winning the fight against terrorism], [something about how great America is, but how we could be better], [empty promises and plans for the future], [pauses for applause and standing ovations].” So, with every predictable speech, a drinking game is born. There are multiple versions floating about on the Web, but most games have a common thread: take a shot when the president says [insert buzzword] or when the president [insert ac-
tion]. This isn’t a column about America’s obsession with booze. If you’re of age, and you’re responsible, what and how much you consume is your business. What’s disturbing is that these drinking games have existed for years. Clearly, the method our nation’s leaders have adopted has become outdated, boring and ineffective. Although it’s crammed with political fluff and false hope, the speech does cover the president’s legislative blueprint and the country’s condition. As citizens, we should have access to our president, as well as his intentions. However, there’s a difference between keeping the nation informed and beating a dead horse annually. When we pulled out the shot glasses and liquor Tuesday night, we were making a statement of our own. We were collectively saying, “Mr. President, if you don’t get to the point and give us some fresh ideas, you’re going to drive us to drink.” The State of the Union address doesn’t need theatrics. But if the president expects us to watch this speech and think with sober minds (as we should), he had better make good use of his time. Over the decades, this special report has become an opportunity for the president to bond with his people—it’s supposed to create a conversation between leader and follower—but that exchange has grown stale. And we’ve begun using alcohol as, well, a social lubricant, just as we would at a dull party. President Obama must be aware of the drinking games, and, perhaps, he finds them humorous, but he should recognize them for they really are—a cry for reform.

The second call out meeting for the Indiana State University swing dance club took place on Wednesday night. “I learned over the summer how to swing dance, and I loved it. I knew Rose Hulman [Institute of Technology] had a swing dance club and wondered if ISU did, as well,” junior speech pathology major, Shannon Winklepleck said. “When I found out we didn’t, I wanted to create one.” It started last semester, Winklepleck said, with Rose Hulman helping immensely by sending members of their club to our club as helpers. They also put us in contact with Caitlin Teague, Winklepleck said. Teague is the instructor for the club. She
has been teaching dance for seven years. “I live in Terre Haute and work in Indianapolis,” Teague said, “I have a hardwood floor in my home that acts as a studio for me when I want to practice.” Sophomore art major, Kateri Tuttle participated in the group last semester. “I saw the fliers and was interested. It’s a great way to meet people and attendance has increased dramatically,” Tuttle said. “On Monday evening, we had a flash mob in the Commons in front of Einstein Bros Bagels. It was a lot of fun.” The stunt was done to promote interest in the group. “I have known how to swing dance for four years because of youth group,” elementary education and special education major, Kelsey Foy said. “I saw
the fliers and a friend of mine did it last semester. It’s fun! I know everything so far and look forward to future moves.” The teaching sessions will begin next Wednesday in room B93 of the Arena, at 6 p.m. The advanced session– for the people who participated last semester– is from 6-7 p.m. and costs $10 for the semester. The beginners’ session will take place from 7-8 p.m. for anyone interested in learning the basics. There will be two sessions held throughout the semester; each will cost $15 per session. From 8-9 p.m. there will be a “free dance” session in which no lessons will be taught. Participants will be encouraged to practice what they have learned at the teaching sessions.

Indiana University medical students are inviting Terre Haute community members to the annual health fair on Sunday. The sixth annual health fair that will be hosted in the Hulman Center from 1 to 4 p.m. There will be activities for all ages, including free snacks and beverages. The event began in 2005 following a service-learning project that allowed medical students to increase their knowledge and give back to the community, health fair adviser Ryan Queen said. After the event became too large to be held at its original venue, it expanded to the Indiana State University
Hulman Center two years ago. There will be 75 exhibitors and screeners with booths providing information about medical issues, preventions and treatments. This year’s exhibitors will include the Alzheimer’s Association, breast cancer awareness, heart education, chiropractic information, the National Kidney Foundation and Union Hospital. The Indiana Blood Center will also be present in front of the Hulman Center, offering walk-in donations. “If you haven’t been to your doctor in a while, or don’t have a doctor, now is a great time to really take charge of your health care,” Queen said. “Take advantage of all the services the Terre Haute Community Health Fair has to offer.”

Daniel Barclay to release EP as Danny Sorrow Faren Haas Reporter
Freshman music business major, Daniel Barclay, plans on releasing an extended play album, or EP, titled “Everything’s Eventual” this fall. As an up-and-coming artist, Barclay is a varied musician—he sings, he raps and he plays around with different genres. Though born as Daniel Barclay, he felt he needed to find a unique stage name. While Barclay was a street team member for a Louisville band, Sacred Sorrow, all of his peers started calling him Danny Sorrow. When he kicked his music project into gear, he decided to go with the name all of his Louisville fans knew him by. “As I started writing, I started to learn that sorrow is the most important emotion to have in life,” Barclay said. “You learn so much from sadness.” In August, Barclay opened for rapper, Tech N9ne in Louisville, which he regards as his biggest accomplishment as a musician thus far. “I actually hadn’t even been writing as Danny Sorrow for very long at that point,” Barclay said. “Someone had just heard my stuff, and I knew the right people.” Barclay is working on a collaboration project with fellow musician and friend, Christian Chapman, titled “Rogues and Knights”. The project is to exude the message of being an individual and true to oneself. “We use a castle as our main goal in life,” Barclay said. “All of us have a dream or goal to be a king or queen of that castle. Some of us go the noble way of doing so, and some of us go a rebel way of doing so, but no matter which way you go, you’re not alone.” Though he doesn’t have any crazy fan stories, Barclay recalls working at Taco Bell during the summer time with middle school girls calling and asking for him. “I have even gotten people asking for my autograph in the drive-thru,” Sorrow said. “I say, ‘I can sign your receipt.’”

ISU Sycamores to battle MSU Bears Mel Loveall
Assistant sports editor
The Lady Sycamores travel to Springfield, Mo. with hopes of defeating the Missouri State Bears Friday Jan. 27. The Indiana State Sycamores started off the Missouri Valley Conference (MVC) with a 4-0 record. They now hold a record of 4-3, as they have lost the last three straight games. This marks the team’s longest losing streak while under second-year Head Coach Teri Moren. ISU’s Lady Sycamores head into Friday’s game against MSU following a loss against Drake 67-59. The Sycamores led the game up until fourth quarter. Moren said that the team struggles with finishing games and delivering at the free throw line. The Missouri State Bears also hold a 4-3 record in the MVC. The Bears average 72.8 points per game, the 32nd highest total in the country. This will be the Bears first home game in three weeks. The Bears enter Friday’s game off a win against Evansville 74-49. They never once trailed in the game and achieved a season-high of 50 rebounds. MSU’s sophomore guard Karly Buer met her season-high of 12 points and five assists. MSU won all three games against ISU last season. The Bears hold an overall 47-14 record against ISU. Friday’s game will feature two of the best 3-point shooters in MVC history. The Sycamores senior guard Brittany Schoen is currently ranked 11th, while the Bears senior guard Jaleshia Roberson ranks 15th. Schoen goes into Friday’s game with 984 points looking to meet the 1000 point mark for her career at Indiana State.

College Sports Myths
Myth 2: College Sports pay for themselves Fact: Half of top sports schools rely on at least $9 million dollars in subsidies from the school and government to help balance their budgets. These fees are largely paid by students and taxpayers. Athletic revenue is included Sales and Services of Auxiliary Enterprises along with student housing fees and other sources. In comparison to other university and college revenues, sports don’t factor largely. Information courtesy of http://www.onlinemastersdegree.com/college-sports-myths/

Following a four-game losing streak, the Indiana State Sycamores came away with a victory over the Northern Iowa Panthers, 59-54, Wednesday night at the Hulman Center. The only Sycamore to reach double figures was senior forward Carl Richard, who started off hot for the Sycamores and led the way throughout, finishing with 17 points on 7-12 (58 percent) shooting, including 3-4 from behind the arc in 33 minutes of action. The Panthers were led by senior center Seth Tuttle, who finished with 22 points while shooting 78 percent from the field and grabbing six rebounds. With the victory, ISU improves their record to 12-9 overall and 3-7 in the Missouri Valley Conference. UNI drops to 14-8 overall and 4-6 in the conference. Perhaps the biggest story of the night was the Sycamores renewed defensive intensity. As a collective unit, ISU held the Panthers to just 36 percent shooting for the game, making 18 of their 50 field goal attempts and only six of their 21 three point tries (28.6 percent). “They guarded some of our stuff pretty darn well,” UNI Head Coach Ben Jacobson said. The Sycamores defensive pressure led to a sense of confidence on the offensive end as they shot a 46.9 percent from the field and 50.0 percent from behind the arc. “Our bad offense and bad shooting has affected us on the defensive end,” ISU Head Coach Greg Lansing said. “We played far from perfect tonight, but the effort was there.” Richard got things going early for the Sycamores, burying a three pointer just 19 seconds into the game. Thanks to back-to-back threes from Richard and sophomore guard Lucas Eitel, ISU stretched
their lead to nine points (16-7) with 12:40 remaining in the first half. Freshman forward Jake Kitchell quickly answered a basket from Tuttle with a jumper of his own at the 3:15 mark to give the Sycamores a 14 point lead, their largest lead of the half. Following two made free throws from Tuttle with three seconds left on the game clock and a half-court heave from ISU sophomore guard Jake Odum, the Sycamores headed to the locker room with a seven point lead, 33-26. Despite an early comeback attempt from the Panthers in the second half, the Sycamores seemed to respond to every jab UNI threw with a punch of their own. The Panthers quickly cut the lead to four points out of the gate in the second half. ISU sophomore guard Steve McWhorter responded with a huge three pointer with 13:27 remaining to extend the lead back to seven, 41-34. “When it got tough tonight, we didn’t hang our heads,” Lansing said of his team’s ability to respond to UNI’s attacks. Followed by a 7-0 run from the Panthers, ISU senior center, Myles Walker, and senior guard, Dwayne Lathan, each scored before another 3-pointer from Eitel with 4:23 left in the game extended the lead back to 10. The Panther’s threw another punch with a 6-0 run to quickly cut the lead to just four points. With 47 seconds remaining on the game clock and just three seconds on the shot clock, Odum buried a jumper to extend the lead back to six (58-52). Followed by a made free throw from Lathan, UNI missed a pair of three pointers in the final 10 seconds, assuring the victory for the Sycamores. The Sycamores are back in action on Sunday, January 29 when they travel to Evansville for their very first trip to the brand new Ford Center. The game will be televised nationally on ESPNU. Tip-off is set for 8:05 p.m.

Students and faculty meet to help prevent sexual violence
Day’Jonnae Riggins Reporter
Students, faculty and staff gathered on Wednesday to attend an Indiana State University sexual violence prevention and response coalition meeting in an effort to help reduce the risk of sexual assault. The Sexual Violence Prevention and Response Coalition (SVPRC) works to address sexual violence at ISU through policy analysis, male involvement, bystander intervention, social marketing and data coalition. “If a friend confides in you that they have been a victim or think they have been a victim of sexual violence, [the] best thing you can do is believe them,” student health promotion outreach educator Aimee Janssen-Robinson said. Indiana State University is committed to maintaining an environment conducive to the continued intellectual and social development of its students. A campus community of mutual respect and concern is established through the active efforts of all its members, according to ISU’s website. All students are eligible to attend the meetings. The next one will be held on Wednesday, February 22 in room 307 of the Hulman Memorial Student Center at 1 p.m. SVPRC will also be looking for students to participate in focus groups later this semester to help in the development of a new social marketing campaign for sexual assault prevention on campus. If you are unable to attend the meetings and are interested in helping with efforts on campus contact Aimee Janssen-Robinson at (812) 237-3939. You can also e-mail her at aimee.janssen-robinson@ indstate.edu. In addition, ISU does have a new sexual violence policy. It is located online at www.indstate.edu/svp.

Facts and statistics: According to the National Crime Victim Research Study, one in every seven women is a victim of rape in Indiana. 80 percent of sex crimes are perpetrated by assailants known to the victim. Less than 28 percent of sex crimes are reported to police. FBI statistics report nearly 2,000 cases of rape occur each year in Indiana.
“If a friend confides in you that they have been a victim or think they have been a victim of sexual violence, [the] best thing you can do is believe them.” Aimee Janssen-Robinson, student health promotion outreach educator
Three out of four American women will be victims of violent crimes sometime during their life. An estimated four million women are battered each year by their husbands or partners. The incidence of rape rose four times as fast as the total national crime rate. An individual who commits rape has only about four chances in 100 of being arrested, prosecuted and found guilty of any offense. Information provided by Indiana Coalition against Sexual Assault, Inc.
