Education key to enforcing ISU policies
Chris Sweeney News editor
Unseasonably warm early spring weather often means an increase in case load for Indiana State University’s Student Conduct and Integrity department. Craig Enyeart, the department’s associate director, said students tend to be more active in nicer weather, which heightens the chance for rules and regulations to be violated. “There is no specific time that we get really busy with violations,” Enyeart said. “Often we’ll see an increase during and after the Spring Break time when the weather is nice.” Enyeart’s office is one of few departments on campus that receives all reports involving students violating the Student Code of Conduct.

Students gathered in Dede Plaza wearing hoodies to honor Trayvon Martin in concordance with other rallies held across the country. Martin was shot to death by a member of a neighborhood watch program blocks from his home in Sanford, Fla. The issue has been called in to question by many because the main reason Martin was considered suspicious was because he was wearing a hoodie. See more on page 9

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.
“We get reports from a lot of different departments on campus,” Enyeart said. “Public Safety and Residential Life are two departments we usually receive reports from on a daily basis.” The process is not intended to provide punishment, but serve as an educational foundation for the mistakes students make, Enyeart said. When a student becomes involved with the judicial process, they have the option to have an advisor, but it is not required. Al Perone, the associate dean of students, often serves as an advocate for students as they go through the system. “When I have someone who asks me to be their advisor, we sit down and go over the situation,” Perone said. “I ask for openness and honesty, and guide them through their options as they prepare for their case.” According to the Student Conduct and Integrity website, when formal charges have been brought against a student, a notice of the charges are delivered to the student outlining the complaint, witness statements and a plea indication statement. Perone said students who begin the process often come to him for advisement, especially if they haven’t been through the process before. “There are some students who are repeated offenders, and other students who just made a simple mistake,” Perone said. “Either way, I’m here to walk them
through the steps and make sure they understand how the process works and what all of the steps mean.” Students are required at the beginning of the judicial process to complete a plea indication statement, which gives them four options: acceptance or denial of responsibility, a hearing in which the case is heard in an all university court, or acceptance in which the offender waives their right to a formal hearing. The all university court consists of 15 individuals, but only three are present during the hearing, Perone said. Five faculty members, five staff members and five students make up the all university court, but a rotation system is in place that allows one person from each division to hear and make decisions on cases. “If a student decides to have an all university court, they will present their side of the case to three people,” Perone said. “We made sure the officers hearing the case reflect a diversity of the university so each student that goes through the process has a fair trial.” Although many students fear going through the student judicial process, Enyeart said it is conducted in a way to provide educational experiences to students. “We don’t use the process as a way to humiliate students,” he said. “We use it as an educational tool. Our goal is to not see someone again if they’ve already been through it once.”

Conference teaches ethics and roles of leadership
Tamera Rhodes Reporter
The 7th annual Ethics and Corporate Social Responsibility Conference was themed around ethics and the roles of leadership in Hulman Memorial Student Union drawing nearly 600 attendees Monday. “We hope people realized that ethics and corporate social responsibility are important in all fields,” said Rebecca Hallisey, co-leader of the event. The conference incorporated ethics and leadership into the professions of accounting, insurance, music, law, sports, politics, marketing, religion, aviation and education. Students of all disciplines attended the event that was hosted by the junior class of the Networks Professional Development Program. Hallisey said the topics were chosen based on students’ interests and relevance in today’s society. Sara Williams, marketing instructor and guest speaker, said this year’s event extended beyond the college of business to other majors. Williams said she felt the event was well planned and professional. As a guest speaker, Williams said she was provided with a welcome packet and a gift of appreciation. Other guest speakers included an Illinois Circuit judge, an Indiana House representative, many ISU instructors or faculty and a local business owner. Williams said she believes the event gets better every year. “Every year, a new group of juniors is responsible in pulling the event together. It is able to avoid any sort of monotony…a fresh take every year keeps the event relevant,” said Williams. Cody Ryan, freshman business management major, attended two of the sessions today and said the conference was motivational. Ryan plans on attending again next year to learn and explore new ideas. The sessions presented used several methods to engage the participants about the subject and encourage learning. Williams used handouts and a question and answer session, while other guest speakers used real life experiences, group case studies and team building

Samantha Norton, senior aviation management major, said she learned more from the session she attended than she had expected. She said she appreciated the presenter’s openness and bluntness about ethics within aviation. At 12 p.m., there was a free luncheon session with guest speaker Dr. Gene Crume, President of the ISU Foundation, sharing his knowledge about philosophical and practical ethics. Ciana Hillenburg, freshman business marketing major, said she enjoyed the servant leadership topic because it was uncommon and rarely talked about. On the contrary, Hillenburg said she won’t be attending next year’s conference because she is changing
majors and doesn’t feel it will be relevant. Among several sponsors for the event were Terre Haute Savings Bank, Baesler’s, Inc., Indiana State Credit Union, Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield and State Farm Insurance Company. Ethics Week activities are scheduled from March 26 through March 29. The other events included in Ethics Week are Tom Black, guest speaker and author of “The Boxcar Millionaire” on March 27, Leadership 101, student-led interactive workshops on March 28 and the 2nd annual Ethics Bowl, March 29.

Indiana State Police troopers responded to a tractortrailer rollover in the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 around 11:30 a.m., Tuesday. According to an Indiana State Police press release, a preliminary investigation revealed that eastbound traffic was slowing in the construction zone near the forty nine milimeter, when a white, 2007, Freightliner tractor pulling a flat bed trailer loaded with two steel coils, failed to properly slow and traveled off the right side of the roadway to avoid slowing traffic. The tractor-trailer rolled onto the passenger side dislodging the two steel coils. The coils rolled into the ditch area on the south side of I-70. No other vehicles
were involved in the crash. The driver was identified as Rodney L. Yates, age 46, of Henderson, Ken. Yates complained of shoulder pain, but refused medical treatment. He was not cited. The steel coils weighed a total of 47,000 pounds. The load originated in Russellville, Ken. and was enroute to Monticello Ind. The trucking company was Schilli Leasing of Remington Ind. Eastbound Interstate 70 traffic was slowed in the area for approximately three hours for crash cleanup. Westbound traffic remained open during the crash investigation/cleanup.

In a 2009 survey by CareerBuilder, it was determined that approximately 45 percent of employers were reviewing the social networking profiles of applicants. Three years later, I’m surprised that this figure isn’t growing. For this very reason, many Facebook users have chosen to make their profiles private to those not on their friend lists. However, a recent and distressing trend seeks to circumvent such measures: some employers are now asking applicants to supply them with login information and passwords for their Facebook accounts so that they might log into these “private” profiles and have a look around. If you’re thinking that this sounds extremely invasive and inappropriate, I’m right there with you. This isn’t the only method by which employers are hoping to glean insight into your character. There are some companies which don’t necessarily ask for passwords, instead requiring that the individual accept a friend request from a human resources manager. I’m not a fan of this option either, but it‘s definitely the lesser of two evils. When the employer has full access to your account, they could easily review your messages, previous conversations, and any other manner of information not intended for the eyes of others. Furthermore, this sort of access would also give them the potential to modify the profiles of employees which they have access to; the befriended human resources manager can’t do this. In addition, it isn’t all that difficult to take those privacy settings a step further and customize them to control which aspects of your profile can actually be seen by specific individuals.

That said, you should never put anything on the internet that you wouldn’t be comfortable with being out there forever. The internet is akin to peeing in a swimming pool; once it’s in there, you can’t get it out. Regardless, the practice of asking for our login information completely undermines the point of enabling privacy settings. What I post on my Facebook profile has little to do with my ability to perform the job asked of me, provided that I’m not using the site while on the job. Employers are technically prohibited from discriminatory hiring practices such as race, gender, age, nationality, sexual orientation, or disability. Unsurprisingly, many of these traits are often displayed candidly on Facebook profiles and may lead to the hiring individual taking these factors into consideration, whether consciously or not; factors which the employer has no business knowing in the first place should the prospective employee choose not to volunteer this information during the application process. It may be an exaggeration to suggest that employers may someday ask to visit us in our homes and private lives to determine our moral fabric. I can’t imagine that they care enough to go to that degree of invasion of privacy.The legality would be questionable; some states have laws in place to prohibit the use of behavior off the job as a method of applicant screening. But sneaking a peek at the social networking profiles of potential hires is definitely a shady, backdoor sort of method for doing just that. I understand why employers would want to know as much about their potential hires as possible and can’t fault them for this, but there’s a thin line between legitimately assessing someone as a possible employee and violating their privacy.

Contraception debate: problem lies in society’s attitude toward fertility
Letter to the editor: Get to know your future leaders
Lately, there has been a fairly big uproar over contraception. It started with the Obama Administration decision to force religious employers to provide contraception as part of their health insurance offerings, despite the fact that Aurora contraception goes Dreyling against the beliefs of religions. After The Pink certain a large outcry, Obama Elephant amended his decision. He said that he recognized the beliefs of religious employers and would require insurance companies to reach out separately to female employees. This has been touted by the Obama Administration as a compromise that preserves the beliefs of religious employers while still making contraception affordable to all women. However, this is little more than a ploy to placate a fairly large voting bloc— Catholic voters. If an insurance company knows it will have to provide birth control coverage for free to women at religious employers, they are just going to add that cost into the overall plan offered to that employer. There’s no way they’re just going to eat those costs themselves. The biggest problem with this debate, though, is how we look at birth control. The Obama Administration insists that it is some basic human right that all women should have access to affordable birth control. But why is that? For some reason, today’s society has decided that fertility is a disease, some terrible burden that no woman should have to bear if she chooses not to. But I can’t think of a single other medication that is used to treat not a disease, but a reflection of a healthy body. Women who are infertile often have other health problems to cause it. Fertility is a sign of a woman’s body working the way it is supposed to. And yet, millions of women take a magic pill to treat this “terrible condition.” Now, this isn’t to say that no one should
Dear editor:
ever use birth control, as that’s a very personal decision. Some women use it to help with real medical issues. And some women use it so they won’t get pregnant. That’s fine; just don’t try to tell me it’s some medical necessity. And what has come out of birth control? Suddenly we can take this “magical” pill and all the consequences of sex go away. Or at least, that’s what we’re told and assume to be true. No matter that it’s a drug that can have serious side effects. And the consequences of sex don’t really go away. We look at the rates of marriage and divorce and are shocked to see one so low and the other so high. But should we really be surprised? One reason men and women get married is so that there will be a stable family environment to bring children into. But now that you can have sex and not worry about kids resulting, why bother? Commitment is hard and scary. According to Dr. Gregory Popcak and his book, “Holy Sex!” today’s society is the first one in history to be surprised that having sex leads to babies. Every day, thousands of couples learn this truth and are shocked. And yet, that’s how our bodies were designed to operate. Even animals know that having sex is how you get babies. I’m not saying everyone who uses birth control is trying to avoid commitment or even that married couples don’t use birth control. Obviously, that’s false. But as a society, we really need to stop and think about what we have let contraception mean in our culture. In life, there is no magical cure to anything. The best results in life come from hard work, which is practically the slogan for Americans. If you want something from life, you should work hard and earn it. Why then do we completely disregard this on the topic of sex? Birth control should be available for those who want and need it. But let’s not pretend it’s this terrible medical emergency that needs to be covered for every woman to hit puberty. The government has no business mandating that insurance companies provide coverage for something that isn’t.
The time has come to elect new leaders on campus and in our local communities. From the outside looking in, it can get hard to see the value in voting for people some people may never get the chance to meet. However, most of what we do will have some impact on you and so it is important to be informed and to know a little about those running for office outside their campaigns. As candidates for the student government association President and Vice President, we understand that students live quite faced paced lives. Many balance everything from school to work to organizations to athletics to relationships. It is during these years of our lives that we begin to find ourselves and develop our passions and goals. Teachers and faculty help to spark our interests and learning in classes and then once we step outside the classroom, a whole other realm of learning occurs. Along our path, we learn to rise above our circumstances and sometimes even to just live and let live. All of this to say, that as we campaign for a student body leadership role, we understand where you’re coming from. We hope that this letter to the editor will make it just a little bit easier for you to get to know us and to feel as though you can put your faith in us to represent you well. Without getting into the nitty gritty of our life stories, here is a little background on us and where we come from: My name is Serena Simeoli and I graduated from Marshall High School in 2007. I joined the Marine Corps Reserve at that time and have since served in two combat deployments. I am a senior marketing student and have held a senate seat in SGA. I walked on the ISU cross country team in 2008, spent a semester studying abroad in South Africa, and currently work in the Academic Programs Abroad office on campus. I love the outdoors, music, and the environment and am a very goal-oriented and conceptual thinker. My little brother Andre Strohm has also signed to play football for ISU and so my heart has become further invested in that way. One of my philosophies for life is, “courage is not the absence of fear but the ways we find to rise above it!” My running mate is Jamal R. Hampton. He graduated from Warren Central High School in 2009. He is currently a junior human resource management student at ISU and is the B.O.S.S. campus organization Vice President as well as an Academic Opportunity Program Mentor. In addition, he is an ISU Track and Field athlete. I chose Jamal to be my running mate because he stood out to me in class even before I knew we were on the same team. Jamal has a very upstanding gentleman-like character and a relaxed nature and approachable persona. Overall, he was the perfect puzzle piece fit. One of Jamal’s philosophies for life is, “Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it. Autograph your work with excellence.” One of our biggest goals is to empower students’ mind, body, and spirit to better equip them to achieve their goals and make their experiences with the University truly more from day one. Elections end at 6pm today but win or lose, we want the students to have an opportunity to get to know us and encourage them to look beyond association to see each candidate and what they stand for! Now is our time and with Simeoli-Hampton it’s-Game On! Serena Simeoli Senior Marketing major

Students star in production, create props and puppets Cassie Hauser Reporter
Students led an original production in all facets, with involvement on-stage and off. Indiana State University students performed in a puppet show titled “The People’s History,” with masks and props made by students themselves. The show was a unique mixture of humor and serious issues, with actors and actresses dressed as different historical characters. The show was written and directed by Andy Park, an ISU graduate with a double major in theater and English. “It was amazing to come back as an alumnus and create art with the students here,” Park said. “It was moving and exciting.” Students, not strictly theater majors, tried out for the play, and none of them knew what specific roles they had until the first week of rehearsals. “They’re all wonderfully talented and amazing people,” Park said. Sophomore communications major Jake Grah performed in “The People’s History,” marking his first time in a play. Grah is pursuing a minor in theater. “I saw an opportunity to get involved and thought that I’d enjoy acting. It turned out to be a good decision,” Grah said. The actors and actresses found chemistry and worked together as rehearsals went on, said sophomore communication major Rashad Ellis. “One good thing about being in the play was that we all got along,” Ellis said. As with many of the other students, Ellis played multiple roles in the show. Ellis’ favorite role was Malcom X, because he felt that it was “the most powerful scene.” Once rehearsals got started, it kept participants very busy. “It was really busy, but tech[nical] week was the busiest,” Ellis said. During technical week, the lights and other effects were brought in. The process of getting ready for this play was very different than others, with the director moving at a fast pace and adding more to the play as they went along, Ellis said. Throughout the play, many parts of American history were presented in ways that might make some people feel uncomfortable. “I think that often times, the things that make us feel uncomfortable are the things that we need to examine,” said Park. Certain events that were highlighted in the play include slavery, the Civil War, the first man on the moon, the bombing of Hiroshima, 9/11 attacks, Woodstock and the civil rights movement. “Civil rights move people uncertain with the idea of integration. When people get over that, integration is a wonderful thing,” Park said. The play was sponsored by Chicago’s Quest Theater Ensemble, which was co-started by ISU alumni. The students have also been given the opportunity to travel and perform the play in Chicago, Ill., in the future.

Students put hoods up for Trayvon Martin
Day’Jonnae Riggins Reporter
African American Indiana State University students paid tribute to the 17-year-old young man that was gunned down by a neighborhood watchman a month ago at the fountain Monday evening. Students wore hoodies and carried skittles and ice tea, representative of the items that Trayvon Martin carried when he was deemed suspicious by neighborhood watchman, George Zimmerman. “We wear hoodies because we are Americans who have the freedom to do so and we know wearing one does not make us ‘suspicious’,” said Valerie Craig, program coordinator for mentoring assistance for prospective scholars. Many students expressed their internal grief and shock over the lack of justice for this young man and his family. “I came to show support to a cause that is bigger than racism,” sophomore aviation management Anthony Jones said. “This made me get informed about the issue; it opened my eyes.” “This could have been my little brother. It makes me angry that another statistic has been added to the chart of stereotypes and we are not doing
anything to lower these statistics,” Jones said. Several black organizations came to pay their respects towards the family of Trayvon Martin. “I came to show support for someone who wasn’t given another day,” said NAACP ISU chapter president Ron Redden. “I believe Martin should be given the justice he deserves.” “You can’t be content and just let life happen the way it is now. We are too content in letting our black men die,” Craig said. The tribute was presented by #teamSPEAK, an organization whose main mission is to raise student awareness and involvement on important issues around the world. “Our main goal is to show the awareness and involvement of this issue and to come together through solidarity,” said #teamSPEAK graduate advisor Karla Foster. Students can aid in the prevention of these tragedies by co-signing an open letter to the Florida prosecutor in charge of the investigation, Angela Corey, at http://action.naacp.org/page/s/trayvonletter. #teamSPEAK meetings are held every Thursday at 5 p.m. in the African American Cultural Center. All students are welcome. On April 4 #teamSPEAK NCAAP members and other students congregated at the fountain over will present Women Lie, Men Lie at 7-9 p.m. in the weekend, sporting hoodies for 17-year-old Trayvon Martin (Photo by Dede I in the Hulman Memorial Student Union.

Students beat and dance to African drums at workshop Day’Jonnae Riggins Reporter
Master Ghanaian, musician Bernard Woma and dancers of the Saakumu Dance Troupe of Ghana hosted the hands-on African drumming and dance workshop at Indiana State University in the African American Cultural Center on Saturday. The Saakumu Dance Troupe is dedicated to introducing audiences to traditional and contemporary African dance and music. Through their workshop, ISU Students, faculty and staff were given the opportunity to learn new moves, rhythms and traditions of African culture. The group, founded by Bernard Woma, is the official performing group at this year’s largest cultural festival in Ghana, known as Panafest. The festival is held each summer and celebrates the country’s traditional roots. Woma, born in the village of Hiineteng, in northwestern Ghana, was told his destiny as a newborn. “My father noticed that, as a newborn, my hands were clenched in fists, as if I was clutching xylophone mallets,” Woma said. Woma started playing the xylophone, called the “gyil” in African culture, at the age of two. As he got older, he became known for his musical abilities and was asked to play all around the Upper West Region of Ghana. Woma has since toured the world as a xylophonist and lead drummer of the National Dance Company of Ghana and has performed for dignitaries such as Queen Elizabeth II, Nelson Mandela and Bill Clinton over the years. Woma gives workshops, lectures and one-on-one lessons with musicians throughout Europe and America. He is currently doing a workshop at Indiana University. “These traditional African performers are some of the most talented artists from the country of Ghana,” said Colleen Haas, lecturer of history and associate professor of African American studies at ISU. “They are very adept, entertaining and effective in teaching others within this workshop format.” Woma and his two African dancers from Saakumu Dance Troupe provided step-by-step instructions, allowing both inexperienced as well as experienced

The workshop was made possible through the office of Experiential Learning and Community Engagement, Haas said. Colleen Haas organized this workshop with history professor Christopher Olsen, who has also had professional training in performance and ethnomusicology. “This opportunity enhances what students are learning in the classes and the experience to meet and interact with

Africans,” Haas said. “It allows students to experience African music and dance.” Freshman broadcast journalism major Mariah Trigg and music performance major Jeff Richardson attended and enjoyed the dancing portion of the workshop. “I love the dancing, especially the second part. I want to learn that,” Trigg said. “All of it was fun, but I liked the dancing the most,” Richardson said.

Volleyball tournament held to raise money for skin cancer awareness Joshua Ayala Reporter
Communication 312 students, Alpha Phi and Alpha Omicron Pi hit the volleyball courts Tuesday night for a tournament meant to raise money toward skin cancer research. Each team, consisting of six to eight players, put forth a $30 entry fee to help with the cause. Sophomore public relations major Jade Jones helped with the event, not only for the cause, but also because he was familiar with the effects of cancer. Jones’ grandmother was a cancer victim, and he recalls her transition as she underwent treatment. “I was used to her hair, but once the chemo treatments started, her hair started to go away,” Jones said. Jones’ grandmother later passed away. “As a society, we learn about the
dangers and prevention of a lot of different forms of cancer, but skin cancer is not always discussed,” said junior elementary education major Lindsey Yeager. The idea came from Yeager’s friend and co-worker, Clair Haley. “Clair’s father was diagnosed with melanoma two years ago,” Yeager said. “Her father has been a referee and umpire for high school and college sports for many years.” Melanoma is the most serious form of skin cancer that develops in melanocytes. This type of cancer can spread to other parts of the body and cause serious illness and death. There are about 50,000 new cases of melanoma diagnosed in the United States every year. The event helped inform students of prevention measures that can and should be taken when being exposed to sun light or using tanning beds.

Sycamores show skills at annual Pro Day Ernest Rollins Sports editor
Graduating seniors of the Indiana State football team were given the opportunity to showcase their strengths and skills on Monday during ISU’s Pro Day. NFL scouts from the Chicago Bears, the Indianapolis Colts, the Saint Louis Rams and the Detroit Lions travelled to Terre Haute to watch ISU seniors go through a variety of drills and tests. ISU strength and conditioning coach David McMannus said the ISU players were assessed in the following ways: vertical and horizontal jumps, 225 pounds bench rep test, the 40-yard dash, three cone test and pro agility test. A few players such as former quarterback Ronnie Fouch and former widereceiver Justin Hilton executed some position drills. “It’s a good way for us to get some recognition status,” McMannus. “We have players with the capabilities to be able to play at a higher level. McMannus said that pro day is an annual event typically held one month before the NFL draft. Student-athletes participating in pro day do so with
the hope of maybe entering the draft, be picked up by a free agent or get invited to a training camp by one of the professional football teams. McMannus said ISU had students that participated in the pro day tests go on to professional teams. In the 2010 season former Sycamore Donye McCleskey was recruited by the Colts and participated in a couple games. The Indiana State football program will begin spring practice sessions March 30 at Memorial Stadium and the sessions will conclude with the annual Blue/White game on April 21.

Women’s golf finish sixth in Saluki Invite Kevin Jenison
ISU Athletic Media Relations
CARBONDALE, Ill. - Indiana State junior Emily Dixon finished in a tie for 10th as she led the Sycamores to a sixth place finish in the 18th annual Saluki Invitational, which concluded today at the Hickory Ridge Golf Course in Carbondale, Ill. “We played okay but still had problems around the course at times,” Greg Towne, Indiana State women’s golf coach said. “We got some new shots going including using three-woods off of some of the tees. We did struggle around the green, which is not surprising since we have not had much chance at chipping and putting practice this spring. That is what we will be concentrating on before we go to Bradley in a couple of weeks.” Dixon entered Monday’s final round tied for 16th after posting an opening round 79 on Sunday. The junior played two strokes better on Monday as she posted a 77 to finish with a 156 total and just 10 strokes out of the tournament lead. A total of 96 individuals competed in the tournament. It was Dixon’s third top 10 finish of the season and her fourth career top 10 finish. Junior Christina Beyerl also entered Monday’s
round tied for 16th after an opening round 79 and shot an identical score Monday to finish with a 158 total and tied for 19th. Freshman Amanda Smith also shot a 79 in Sunday’s first round but struggled Monday with an 87 to finish at 166 and tied for 49th. Freshman Gina Della Camera posted an 81 on Sunday and shot 85 Monday to finish at 166 and tied for 49th in the tournament. Sophomore McCall Christopher shot 85 and 82 in the tworound tournament to finish with a 167 total and tied for 59th. Freshman Erinn Sutton played as an individual and finished tied for 74th. Sutton opened the tournament with an 88 but came back with an 84 on Monday for a 172 total. “We are still looking for that solid number five player with the absence of Reece (Feducia),” Towne said. “We do not know how long she will be out so one of the younger players will have to become more consistent in her scoring. We will also be working on that in the next couple of weeks.” The Sycamores entered the final round tied for fifth after a 318 total during Sunday’s round and played consistently but did not improve their position, posting a 323 in Monday’s round to finish with a 641 total and alone in sixth place out of the 17 team field.
Southern Illinois hosted the event and took the team title with a 608 total. Iowa finished second (618) with IUPUI third (627), Eastern Kentucky and Loyola University tied for fourth (634) and Indiana State was sixth (641). Behind the Sycamores were Northern Illinois (642), SIU Edwardsville (643), Western Illinois (645), Chicago State (649), Austin Peay (649), Eastern Illinois (659), Dayton (664), Nebraska-Omaha (666), IPFW (676), Rend Lake CC (703), and John A. Logan CC (751). The Salukis also had the tournament medalist in Cassie Rushing who finished with a two-over 146. Iowa’s Chelsea Harris and IUPUI’s Jordan Essman tied for second at 148 with Ashley Jeffers of Western Illinois fourth (153). SIU’s Margaret Gilley, Alisha Matthews and Shaina Rennegarbe tied with Northern Illinois’ Allie Parthie for fifth as each posted a 154 total. Eastern Kentucky’s Katie Wiedmar was ninth at 155. Sharing the 10th spot with Dixon at 12 over 156 were IUPUI’s Kristi O’Brien, Iowa’s Kristi Cardwell, Loyola’s Alex Meyers, Eastern Kentucky’s Lisanne Schmidt, and SIU Edwardsville’s Ashton Stair. Indiana State will have a couple of weeks off before they compete in the Bradley Spring Invitational April 6-7 in Peoria, Ill.

Midwest teams last standing through March Madness After weeks of heart pounding, nail biting action the Final Four are set. It seems for the fourth year in a row that the Midwest will be well represented as three of the four teams come from the region surrounding Indiana. These teams— Kentucky, Louisville, Ohio State and Kansas comprise the best of the best in college hoops for this season. And even though the Hoosier state does not technically have a representative in the Final Four, there is still much excitement generated due to the numerous fans for schools from surrounding states Ohio and Kentucky. The first of two Final Four matchups will be contested between in-state rivals Kentucky and Louisville. Their long standing rivalry has spanned over the last 100 years and Kentucky owns the advantage by winning 29 of the 43 contest between the two. In any given season, it is quite the accomplishment for a state to be represented by one program, but now the entire state of Kentucky will be torn between its two most beloved universities. Everyone in Kentucky will either sport the blue and white of the Kentucky Wildcats, or the red and black of the Louisville Cardinals with hopes of their team coming out victorious. This week, long rivalry will not only be limited to Kentucky, but also throughout the Midwest and spread into the rest of the country. Kentucky will be looking to keep up their long standing tradition of basketball excellence and bring home their first championship since 1998, while Louisville will look to win their first title since 1986. The other matchup on hand will be played between the Ohio State Buckeyes and the Kansas Jayhawks. While there will not be nearly the same history between these two teams as the other matchup will have, it is still a fantastic matchup. Both teams are no. 2 seeds that defeated the favorites of their regions to advance to grand finale. Kansas is in search of its first National Championship since 2008 and the Buckeyes their first since 1960. This season many brackets have been busted by the numerous upsets, and the untimely injuries of some of the nation’s best teams have caused them to falter, but through all of this no.1 seed
Kentucky has prevailed unscathed. I believe they will continue their dominant run to the National Championship due to their high powered offense and ability to play big when it matters the most. On the other side, I’m betting that Ohio State will prevail despite the Jayhawks best efforts. Kansas has been the beneficiaries of some timely luck in the tournament and their luck will end against the Buckeyes. In the end, however, the Wildcats have looked a step ahead of their opponents this season and they will end this tournament as the champions.

Sycamores pound Prairie Stars, 21-1
The Sycamores congratulate each other after improving their record to 20-5 by adding a convincing “W” to the Win column against the Illinois Springfield Prairie Stars (Photo by Kyle Seeley).
Derek Johnson Reporter
The Indiana State Sycamores baseball team recorded 19 hits and defeated the Illinois-Springfield Prairie Stars, 21-1, Tuesday afternoon at Sycamore Stadium on Bob Warn Field. Junior Devin Moore (2-2) got the start and recorded the win for the Sycamores, giving up one hit to go along with three strikeouts in three innings pitched. Seniors Lucas Hileman and Jeff Miera each recorded three hits, while senior Patrick Foster and junior, Jordan Pearson recorded two apiece. Juniors, Jeremy Lucas and Casey McCurdy, each added a homerun. With the win, the Sycamores improve to 20-5 on the season, including a perfect 7-0 at home. Meanwhile, the Prairie Stars drop to 5-16 overall. The Sycamores jumped out to a big
lead in a hurry thanks to Lucas’ homerun and hits from Miera, Hileman and senior Jon Hedges in the bottom of the first to give Indiana State a 4-0 head start. The Sycamores’ stretched their lead in the second and third innings when they pounded out a plethora of hits and tallied 13 runs in the second and four more in the third to take a 21-0 lead. Each team went scoreless the next two innings, but the Prairie Stars were able to avoid the shutout thanks to an RBI double to left center field from senior, Jason Pinkerton, in the sixth to put Illinois-Springfield on the board. ISU was unable to score in the seventh, ending the game with a substantial victory for the Sycamores. Indiana State will be back in action Wednesday when they travel to Muncie to take on the Cardinals of Ball State. First pitch is scheduled for 3:00 p.m.
