They call him the breeze
A message from Indiana State University On Jan. 28 at approximately 11:30 a.m. a person exposed himself in the Commons in Hulman Memorial Student Union. Approximately 90 minutes later, a person matching the same description repeated the act while on the third floor of Cunningham Library. Campus Police were notified of these occurrences late this afternoon and evening. This person is described as a white male, heavy set, early to late 20’s with short dark — possibly brown — hair. He was wearing a gray Under Armour hooded sweater and blue jeans. Anyone with information is asked to contact ISU Police at 812-237-5555. The Administration of ISU appreciates these students contacting police after they observed unacceptable behavior. All members of the campus community are reminded to promptly report any violations of university conduct or state/federal laws to local law enforcement.
Gun sighted on campus A message from Indiana State University At approximately 12:02 p.m., a person was walking in the area of 5th and Cherry St. when a passenger in a gold-colored Jeep Liberty displayed a handgun. The window was partially rolled down and the person showed the weapon, however they did not aim it at anyone. The vehicle was traveling north on 5th Street from Cherry and was driven by a white female. The passenger is described as a white male, dark greasy hair, early 20s. Area law enforcement agencies are currently checking the area for possible persons. Anyone with additional information is asked to contact the ISU Police at 812237-5555 or the Terre Haute Police Department at 812-244-2200.

Clothing closet caters to career-bound students
Mariah Lee Reporter
Do you have a big interview coming up and nothing to wear? The Indiana State University Career Center has a solution. The Career Center has realized a longtime dream by opening its Clothing Closet, a resource that offers ISU students variety of dress clothes in order to look professional at interviews. The clothes have come from a number of places, namely from staff, faculty, alumni and fellow students. “The donations … come from a variety of places. Some of the most frequent donations we receive are from our … faculty and staff,” said Amy Kingery, Employer Relations coordinator at the Career Center. Students who want clothes from the Clothing Closet they can come by the Career Center. Clothing Closet hours are MondayFriday from 10 a.m. to noon and 1 to 3 p.m. with new evening hours every Wednesday from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m. Students can take up to four items out of the closet per visit, and the items they select are theirs to keep. The Career Center would like students to limit their visits to one time a month so that they can ensure every student has plenty of clothing to choose from. Martha Reed, administrative assistant at the Career Center, believes this is a dream come true. “The clothing closet had been a dream for many years now. An official at the university donated a large number of professional clothes and shoes about two years ago. Plans were started on how to distribute them fairly.” Reed said “A past assistant director at the time mentioned that they had a successful closet at his past school. It started out as one cloth-

ing giveaway a semester right before the career fair. It then grew to a few racks of clothing to the closet it has become today.” In order to keep the Closet up and running, the Career Center will need a steady stream of donations. “Full suits would be really ideal, women’s blouses of all sizes and men shoes of all sizes, but [we] will take whatever we can get,” Kingery said. “We are in need of ladies’ plus sizes and men’s big and tall. We need both and men and women’s professional suits in all sizes along with men’s shoes,” Reed said. Donating to the Clothing Center can
also benefit the local Goodwill stores. “Any attire that isn’t completely professional will be donated to Goodwill, but we do keep most of what we received,” Kingery said. “We are always very grateful for the generosity from our faculty and staff.” “Students have been very grateful — professional clothing is very costly and this is a great way to start building their wardrobe,” Reed said. “We may not always have the sizes that students need, which is why we are always wanting more,” Kingery said. Students in need of dress clothes are invited to stop by and see what the Clothing Center has to offer.

Myesha Garner Reporter Indiana State University students using the Lincoln Quad Dining Hall can now take their food to go and help the environment at the same time. The program, called Choose to Reuse, is a new campaign to help reduce the waste caused by single-use containers. The new reusable containers cost $8 a semester and students can use Commons Cash, debit cards or cash to pay. Students will still need to pay for the food itself on each visit. The system allows students one to-go container at a time and whenever they want to get more carry-out food they must return their container to get a clean one. This is more efficient for ISU as well because they wash the containers and provide clean ones for students, limiting the amount of waste traditional containers cause. Donna Wilson, the in-unit marketing coordinator, said that the new carryout containers are part of the campus’ efforts to be more sustainable. “Containers were changed to align with Indiana State’s initiative on sustainability

and to achieve Sodexo’s Better Tomorrow Commitments,” Wilson said. Kayla Sinders, a sophomore communication major, said the new trays are more of a hassle to students. “It takes more time in line and if you don’t rinse out or wash the containers
before you take them back, they stink,” Sinders said. “I wouldn’t want to be the one who opens and cleans all of them.” Students aren’t required to clean the containers before exchanging them for new ones. While the containers do help the
“We want to be able to allow those individuals to go to sleep at a certain time,” Kortman said. Many students don’t realize how loud they can be in their dorm rooms. “We understand that when individuals are in a room they are not always aware of the noise that they are creating,” Kortman said. “We have a two-door policy, if I as a staff member [am] walking by and I can hear noise levels two doors down we would then address the issue by asking them to turn it down.” Resident assistants and Academic Peer Advisers keep everything in order by helping out students and making sure that everyone is comfortable in their own rooms. Junior Dania Hayes, social study and English education major, is the APA at Rhoads Hall. “I think quiet hours are needed but I don’t think that they are very well-
governed,” Hayes said. “No one actually listens to see if people follow quiet hours.” Hayes has experienced people on her floor being very loud. “The girls on our floor are pretty close so they are always yelling across the floor to each other at all hours of the night,” Hayes said. “They don’t sleep so I don’t even think they think about quiet hours, but because the girls are cool you can tell them to quiet down.” An RA or APA’s relationship with the students on that floor is very important in helping keep the dorms peaceful. “Some of the residents might think you are attacking them [when you ask them to be quiet],” Hayes said. “The only way that we can make quiet hours better is if we enforce it and be on it, because we are not on it all the time.” Danielle Thomas, a freshman nursing major, said she doesn’t notice the quiet hours most of the time.
environment, some students such as sophomore nursing major Natalie Rothkopf said the change has made getting food more inconvenient. “I’m not a huge fan of the new carryout trays,” Rothkopf said. “I don’t like that there are certain times for getting carryout.” Carryout locations are only open a few specific times rather than all day, and students who can’t make those times might not benefit from using the to-go containers. “I wish the to-go boxes were bigger so I could fit more food in them. I don’t like that I have to keep the to-go box until the next time I get food to go. I don’t want food to have to sit in it until next time so I clean it and I don’t like cleaning it,” Rothkopf said. While students hold varying opinions of the to-go containers use of the new carryout containers it is a way to prevent the university from accumulating more trash than necessary. “Positive impact is that now with the reusable containers versus using singleuse containers, we are reducing waste of 250 containers per day plus cups and lids,” Wilson said.
Dorm courtesy hours help keep the peace and quiet
Makyla Thompson Reporter Living with other people can be challenging. Everyone has different lifestyles, so when they come to college and have to share a floor with many people things can get really loud and hectic. That is why Indiana State University requires that each dormitory have quiet hours. Assistant director of residential life and housing Jeff Kortman explained why they residence halls enforce quiet hours. “We want to have quiet hours because we want to facilitate learning,” Kortman said. “So after a certain amount of time we want individuals … who want to go to bed can do so in a quiet manner.” Some of the residence halls have 400 people or more living there, each with individual and potentially conflicting schedules.
“I like quiet hours,” Thomas said. “They don’t really affect me a lot but the people above us make a lot of noise.”

Misplaced ambition: the pitfall of the selfish
A lot of guys like to brag about their ambition, trust me — I’ve seen the term used in many LinkedIn profiles. Do you know other men who had ambition? Hitler, Napoleon and Bernie Madoff. Ambition can vary slightly in definition depending on what reColumnist source you use. Dictionary.com defines it as “an earnest desire for some type of achievement or distinction, as power, fame or wealth and the willingness to strive for its attainment.” The New Oxford American Dictionary states it to be “a strong desire to do or to achieve something, typically requiring determination and hard work.” Ambition is a praised and respected trait upheld by men, but we need to be weary which definition we attach to ambition. I don’t believe that ambition is a bad thing; misplaced ambition, however, is. Misplaced ambition is looking through the same scope as Bernie Madoff with the crosshairs on wealth. It is also the source that brought many world leaders to their knees in their conquest for power. Misplaced ambition is an insatiable hunger where the selfish end always justifies the insensitive means. A man will do anything to attain what he wants without being considerate of others or sometimes even himself. This is an
Ben Ramseier
equation for self-destruction by isolation from others, sometimes physical pain and loss of identity. An example of this would be Silicon Valley. Techies are now practicing “biohacking” where they take brain-enhancing drugs called “nootropics.” These drugs allow someone to perform at a higher level in order to stay ahead of the competition, which usually translates to “I want to make more money than the other guy.” As a matter of fact, CNN interviewed a technology entrepreneur about his concerns for his health, since there have been no studies about the usage of nootropics. He looked at the reporter, gave a crazed smile and replied, “You know what’s the difference between a million dollars and a billion dollars?” The camera moved back to the reporter and she shook her head. He then took his straightened index finger and firmly put it to his temple. Misplaced ambition has a bottomless stomach and it consumes its victims. Take ‘The Wolf of Wall Street’ Jordan Belfort, for example: his life was in shambles. Sure, the movie was entertaining — that is what a movie is supposed to do — but if you truly analyze him you will realize his life wasn’t praise-worthy at all. He divorced his wife, still cheated on the second wife, was heavily dependent on drugs for daily functionality, manipulated and took advantage of others and worst of all, valued money over people. Take the money away from him and what would we see? Only fools aspire to be such a man.
I find it sad that we idolize such characters that are willing to excessively sacrifice many important things in this short-lived, unpredictable life for tangible things such as money or power given by job responsibilities. Sacrifices must be made if you truly want to attain something, but if those sacrifices consist of you losing sight of things with true value, then your foundation of identity begins to crumble. You will then embody your misplaced ambition making you incapable of having a life beyond such an obsession. Sure you could have a mansion, but you’d have nothing to fill it except for lifeless furnishings and superficial conversations with party guests. Can ambition be good? Like I said, I believe so, but where should the hard work and strong desire to accomplish something be aimed at? Get to the core principle of the ambition. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. isn’t remembered because he wanted to selfishly distinguish himself among his peers; he devoted himself to a more positive future and valued the people. Steve Jobs was never in it for the money; he wanted to create beautiful things for people. Are you studying to become a doctor for the security provided by the salary or to help save a child’s mother? Do you take leadership positions in student organizations for glory or to improve the organization and the people within it? Let your ambitions not be rooted in

Commuter students should have parking priority
It’s no secret: Indiana State University has a few issues with parking, especially the number of spaces compared to the number of parking passes. But what does this mean for students living off-campus? That’s obvious: leave an hour and a half early and pray you can find parkColumnist ing. Oh, and always have spare change in case the only spots available are the ones in pay lots. But is there anything that ISU can do to help regulate parking and help ease the problem? Many of us have bought parking passes and spent an arm and a leg for them, and it halfway makes sense. A large portion of the passes are sold to students living on campus — the ones who go to their car as often as once a week, if that. Often these cars just sit there for most of the semester except for midnight snack runs, a quick run to the store or, more commonly, home. Those of us who commute to campus know the frustration of trying to find parking on Friday and seeing cars still

covered in the snow from Monday, knowing they weren’t moved. What can campus possibly do about this? Well we can start by making certain lots commuteronly lots. Much like faculty-only lots, this helps guarantee a spot for the commuters. This, while not a complete fix, will help a lot. It makes it so that someone driving doesn’t have to go back and forth from one side of campus to the other several times just to find parking. It also can help ease the burden on Public Safety some because now they know what lots to check most often for passes. Of course ISU could make more parking
lots, but I don’t feel it is absolutely necessary to take care of the problem. Of course the blame isn’t on one particular party. Students who have no need to drive shouldn’t bring their cars to school. If the car isn’t being used, having it sit and never move causes problems for people who need that spot. If your car is only used for breaks then leave it at home; that’s the only time you see it anyway. Of course the same goes for students who live off campus, too. Those students who commute to school every day should try to avoid driving if they can as well. Of course there are some
days we can’t and that’s understandable, but if you can walk some days then do it because it leaves spots open for people who can’t just walk that day. Plus, it saves you some gas money. They can also change the cost some. Commuter students should pay less for their passes than resident students. While commuters use the lots during the day, they still use them less often and usually not at night. This doesn’t mean that parking pass revenue has to be cut, but rather the cost to students should reflect how they use the parking lots. The benefits don’t stop at students; it also benefits the university as a whole. Often when students talk about ISU the problem they mention is the parking shortage. By making the parking situation better the school can have an even more positive reputation. Why wouldn’t the school want to better their reputation? None of these changes would have major negative effects. Of course the system won’t be perfect nor should we expect it to be, but we need to make the system more effective, be it reassigning whole lots or making more parking spaces for commuters.

Delta Sigma Phi breaks ground on ISU’s campus
Adler Ingalsbe Reporter
After years of being away from Terre Haute, the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity is back on Indiana State University’s campus and is looking to re-establish their previously existing chapter. Delta Sigma Phi has a long history, dating back to 1899 when a group of men at the City College of New York created it. The fraternity is now a national organization made up of 106 chapters located in different parts of the United States. The fraternity came to Indiana State in 1990 and stuck around until 2008. Now, seven years later, three men are helping start the organization back up. Kenny Traber, Cal Beneze and Kirby Oscar, all working for the Delta Sigma Phi National Headquarters, are getting the foundation of the organization settled in. Kenny Traber, Senior Recruitment and Development Specialist, said all his teammates, as well as him, attended different universities but are now working together to bring the fraternity back to ISU. “We’re not students here on campus. Kirby attended Appalachian State University, Cal is from Arizona State University and I am from Georgia College and State University,” Traber said. “We joined the fraternity at our respective universities and were recruited
to work on the National Headquarters staff. We currently work at the National Headquarters and were invited by Indiana State University to come and start a chapter here.” Cal Beneze, New Chapter Development Coordinator, said ISU asked them to start the organization during the spring semester and the three men have been hard at work since the first day of classes on recruiting men to join the fraternity. “They decided this spring was the time they wanted us to come. The first day of the spring semester, I was here with Kenny. We were just laying some basic groundwork for when we all got here so everything was already set up and running smoothly,” Beneze said. “We are going to be here from the first day of school until about Valentine’s Day, which is when we will conclude the recruitment,” Beneze said. “Right now we have over 10 members and will continue to grow as we sit down and have more meetings with other men. We are submitting grade releases every day,” Beneze said. Kirby Oscar, New Chapter Development Coordinator, said while they are trying to get members to join, they are more concerned with the quality of the individuals. “The number of men isn’t what we’re necessarily looking for,” Oscar said. “We are not focused on the quantity of men
that we recruit, we are focused on the quality,” The members who join the fraternity this semester get the opportunity to be the founding fathers of Delta Sigma at ISU, just like Oscar and Beneze were at their universities. “Our philanthropy is the American Red Cross. There are 12 different ways to support the American Red Cross. People usually think blood drives, but some things that we really like to do are CPR certification training, disaster relief training and first responder training,” Traber said. “A group of men are able to provide a lot of service in times of need, so we determined that American Red Cross had opportunities for men of action, such as men in Delta Sig, who will take that action.” The organization doesn’t have a faculty advisor at this time but expects that role to be filled, especially with the amount of interest they’ve already received. “We are still looking into one specific lead faculty advisor but we are also looking into an ACB, which is an Alumni Corporation Board, and we’ve had a lot of interest from alumni in the surrounding area because we also have a chapter at Rose-Hulman,” Traber said. “With alumni from there, alumni from here, even though the chapter has been gone for a number of years, we’ve had numerous people who are interested
in serving as that role. We’ve also been trying to cultivate some staff relationships but we don’t have one secured yet.” “If we recruit well here, there will be an option that we could look to find a house. It’s not something when we’re recruiting the men that we actively push because there are a lot of other things to focus on,” he said. “I always like to say, ‘the house is step 101 and we’re on step 1.’ We are not big fans of housing requirements. We don’t think we should be forcing people to live in a place but it’s a possibility for the future if the group wants to make that happen.” As with any other fraternity, there are rules that need to be followed. “Our main expectation for the men is that they continue with our national reputation in terms of diverse membership. We’re the first nonsectarian fraternity and throughout our history, we’ve really prided ourselves on the diversity of our members,” Traber said. “Equally as important is campus involvement outside the fraternity. And lastly, scholarships and academics are also very important because after all, they are students first and are involved with other things after that.” For more information about Delta Sigma Phi at Indiana State University or how to join, contact Kenny Traber at traber@deltasig.org.
PAW presents Super Bowl event for students Sunday
Tyler Sanders Features Editor
Many people believe that the FIFA cup is the most watched event in the world. Well, that statement isn’t wrong, but it’s not 100 percent correct either. FIFA is the most watched sporting event over a period of time. The single most watched sporting event is the Super Bowl, which this year falls on Feb. 1. For students at Indiana State University, Programs All Weekend is hosting an event in the Sycamore Lounge so students can get out and watch the game. PAW is providing snacks as well.

New England enters the game at a mark of 14-4. To kick off the playoffs, the Patriots had to win a close game against the Baltimore Ravens. Their next game would be just as big of a challenge, as they whipped the Colts 45-7. The big headline of that game was “Deflategate,” where the Patriots were accused of deflating a number of footballs in order to gain an advantage. Going into the Super Bowl, both teams have a lot of media attention but for different reasons. If students have nothing going on this Sunday, they should make their way to the Sycamore Lounge to enjoy the game and snacks.

Sycamore men bear down to battle Bradley Braves Zach Rainey Reporter The Indiana State University men’s basketball team returns home for a Missouri Valley Conference matchup against the Bradley Braves. Bradley comes into this game having lost six out of its last seven games and sit at 7-15 on the season, while going 2-7 in the MVC. Junior guard Warren Jones leads the team in scoring with 13.9 points per game and senior forward Auston Barnes is second on the team at 10.6 per game. Both players can knock down threes at a decent rate with Jones shooting 36 percent and Barnes shooting 38 percent. Barnes is currently third in the conference in free throw shooting, converting on 85 percent of his attempts from the line. Tramique Sutherland is also averaging 10 points per game and leads the team in assists per game with three.
One player the Sycamores will have to focus on containing is freshman Josh Cunningham. Cunningham is currently second in the conference in rebounding, averaging 7.5 per game and is tenacious on the offensive glass. Giving up second chance points has been a problem in the past for the Sycamores, so boxing out Cunningham and company will be a key. The Sycamores will have to be careful with the ball against Bradley, as junior Ka’Darryl Bell is currently 10th in the conference in steals per game. Bradley is better than their record indicates, so don’t take the Braves lightly. Bradley didn’t look bad early in the season. After their first four games, they were 2-2 before having tough matchups against TCU and Kansas State. Bradley was actually able to hold their own against both of those teams, losing to
TCU by eight and losing to Kansas State by just three. Bradley has lost all six of their last seven games by 10 points or more. They were able to get a muchneeded win against Missouri State last Saturday to end their losing streak at five games. Redshirt freshman guard Brenton Scott has really stepped up this season for the Sycamores as of late. He is second on the team in scoring with 11.8 points per game and an MVC Freshman of the Year candidate. He has been one of the team’s leaders while on the court. With the type of leadership he displays, great things are in store for Scott during his Sycamore career. Tre Bennett has been stuffing the stat sheet in recent games too. He can score, rebound and pass. He is currently the team leader in assists with three per game.
Sycamore women looking for revival Jeremy Beaver Reporter After a shaky start to Missouri Valley Conference play, the Indiana State University Sycamores are sitting with a conference record of 3-5 and an overall record of 13-6. Coming off back-to-back home losses to conference rivals Drake and Northern Iowa, the Sycamores hope to move forward in their pursuit to the top of the MVC by hosting in-state rival Evansville this Sunday. The Purple Aces sit one slot above the Sycamores in the MVC with a conference record of 5-3 and an overall record of 10-9. Like Indiana State, Evansville is on a two-game losing streak to Northern Iowa and Drake. Evansville lost by 17 to conference unbeaten Drake this past Sunday in Evansville. Sara Dickey, a Terre Haute native, ran up the box score for the Purple Aces going 10-for-20 from the field and 5-for-7 from the free throw line en route to an astounding 31 total points — half of the team’s total points for the night. Dickey also had a total of five rebounds, one steal and one assist. Khristian Hart also contributed to
Dickey, shooting 7-of-18 from the field and scoring a total of 18 points. However, other than Dickey and Hart’s combined 49 points, the Purple Aces’ lack of contribution only led the team to scoring 13 more points in a 79-62 loss. The Sycamores are coming off a tough two-point loss to the Northern Iowa Panthers. Forward Racheal Mahan went 6-for-10 from the field and 4-of-6 from the charity stripe for 16 points. Mahan was also second in rebounds with six behind forward Chelsea Small with seven, along with seven points. The Lady Sycamores suffered a lot of missed opportunities against the Panthers, going a total of 20-of-57 from the field. Shooting 35 percent is almost the equivalent to making a shot once every two possessions. A slow first half led Indiana State to go into halftime down 32-22. Coming out with aggressive defense and scoring points on offense, the Sycamores were able to score 32 points the second half but giving up 25 was just enough for UNI to squeak by with the 57-55 victory. Indiana State is looking to forget about the past couple of weeks and fo-
cus on its game this Sunday against Evansville. After the game Evansville’s Dickey had against Drake, it seems only logical that she will need to be contained if the Sycamores hope to come out on top. The Sycamores also need to capitalize on their scoring chances. Shooting 35 percent puts ISU at a disadvantage against a gritty MVC schedule. Following Evansville, Indiana State has matchups against Bradley, Loyola and Illinois State, all opponents the Lady Sycamores are currently 1-0 against. A win against Evansville could set up a big run through the next couple of weeks. Indiana State continues its quest to the top of the MVC at the Hulman Center with tipoff set for 2:05 p.m. The game can also be heard on WIBQ 1280 AM with live statistics provided by GoSycamores.com.
One player who needs to step up for Indiana State is Khristian Smith. After losing Jake Odum and Manny Arop, many thought it would be Smith’s team going forward and that he would take the reins of this team. While Smith hasn’t had a bad season, he certainly has struggled to meet season expectations, especially on the offensive end. If the Sycamores are to have any chance at making a run late this winter, Smith will need to step up and be a better scorer for this team. Tipoff at the Hulman Center is scheduled for 1:05 p.m. The game can be heard on 90.7 WZIS and 95.9 WDKE. Live game tracker is available on GoSycamores.com.

ISU Athletic Media Relations Indiana State University basketball head coach Greg Lansing joined forces with the American Cancer Society Jan. 29 at the Indiana State House to bring awareness to cancer research with members of the state legislature. Similar to last week’s Coaches vs. Cancer campaign, all members of the Indiana State Legislature wore tennis shoes with their suits on Thursday to raise awareness for the American Cancer Society and to promote physical wellness as an important tool in battling the disease. During the morning visit, Coach Lansing spent time with Indiana Lieutenant Governor Sue Ellsperman as well as Indiana Speaker of the House Brian Bosma. This comes on the heels of all Indiana State coaching staff members wearing sneakers with their suits on Jan. 24 for the game against Loyola. This initiative is sponsored by the National Association of Basketball Coaches. As part of the event locally, the team members wore #AveryStrong t-shirts to support young Avery Herriman in his battle with leukemia. Avery is the seven-year-old son of Nebraska assistant basketball coach Chris Herriman. Additionally, the team will wear shirts in support of Madi Adams prior to Saturday’s home game against Bradley. Funds will be collected at Hulman Center by Indiana State student-athletes to help defray medical and travel costs for Madi’s parents during their time of need. Madi is the daughter of WTWO-TV sports personality Cody Adams, a graduate of Indiana State University. Fans are
diana Breast and Cervical Cancer Program [IBCCP]. IBCCP offers free cancer screenings to low-income and uninsured women throughout the state. However, many Hoosier women are being turned away from these life-saving services due to a lack of funding for the program. Indiana currently spends approximately $71,000 per year on this program, but that’s only four percent of the Centers for Disease Control’s recommended funding level. Expand access to colorectal cancer screenings. Screening is the most effective way of detecting colorectal cancer early and preventing it altogether. Thousands of colorectal cancer deaths could be avoided each year if people were screened according to recommendations. Unfortunately, many Hoosiers will continue to lack access to colorectal screening and treatment services in 2015. ACS CAN advocates called for increased state funding for screening education and outreach programs. Increase the price of cigarettes and other tobacco products.

On Thursday, coach Lansing joined more than 200 cancer patients, survivors and caregivers from across the state at the Indiana Statehouse and called on the General Assembly to prioritize the 35,620 Hoosiers who will be diagnosed with cancer in 2015. The visit was part of the annual American Cancer Society Cancer Action Network’s [ACS CAN] Day at the Capitol, which brought cancer advocates together to urge lawmakers to ensure access to cancer screenings and support tobacco prevention and cessation strategies. “ To b a c c o prevention and cancer screening access should be at the top of our lawmakers’ priorities,” said Aurmaudra Bradley, a lead ACS CAN volunteer from Westfield. “More than 135,000 women in Indiana will lack access to breast and cervical cancer screenings this year, and every year, more than 11,000 Hoosiers lose their lives to tobacco-related illnesses. As someone who lost her mother to cancer, I am calling on the General Assembly to help reduce unnecessary deaths from this terrible disease.”
This makes it cheaper and easier to smoke in Indiana, which has one of the highest smoking rates in the country. Increasing the price of tobacco by just one dollar would keep more than 55,000 young Hoosiers from picking up a cigarette and help 40,000 current smokers quit the habit. Improve funding for Indiana’s Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Program. Indiana’s Tobacco Prevention and Cessation Program has successfully reduced youth smoking and helped smokers quit across the state, but the program remains underfunded. Indiana currently spends $5.8 million annually on tobacco prevention efforts, but that’s less than eight percent of the Centers for Disease Control’s recommended funding level. ACS CAN is the nonprofit, nonpartisan advocacy affiliate organization of the American Cancer Society, dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem. ACS CAN works to encourage lawmakers, candidates and government officials to support laws and policies that will make cancer a top national priority. ACS CAN gives ordinary people extraordinary power to fight cancer. For more information, visit www.acscan.org. The Sycamores return to Hulman Center on Saturday, Jan. 31, when they take on Bradley. Tip-off is set for 1:05 p.m. The entire athletic department will be collecting donations for #MadiMiracle during this game as well as during the women’s basketball contest on Sunday, Feb. 1, against Evansville. Tip-off for the women’s game will be at 2:05 p.m.
