Retiring senator, education advocate honored by Indiana State Libby Roerig

Retired teacher, trailblazer and longtime state Sen. Earline Rogers was honored for her lifetime of public service by Indiana State University Thursday evening.

University President Dan Bradley presented Rogers (D-District 3) with the President’s Award for Distinguished Public Service and Outstanding Achievement at a reception at Wicker Memorial Park Social Center in Highland.

UC regents say antiSemitism has ‘no place’ on campus but reject censure of anti-Zionism Teresa Watanabe

Los Angeles Times (TNS)

University of California regents said Wednesday that anti-Semitism has “no place” on a college campus but declined to endorse a sweeping statement that would have condemned anti-Zionism as a form of discrimination.

Instead, the regents unanimously approved a report that decried “anti-Semitic forms” of the political ideology, which challenges Israel’s right to exist on land claimed by Palestinians.

The move reflects the regents’ struggle to balance concerns about bias and intolerance with the protection of free speech.

Israel advocacy groups had pushed for a broad censure of anti-Zionism, which they said was needed to protect Jewish students from hostile attacks.

But free-speech advocates said that would have illegally restricted the right to criticize the Jewish state. If the regents had approved it, they would have become the first governing board of any major U.S. university system to condemn the rejection of Zionism.

At a packed board meeting, Regent Norman J. Pattiz proposed to modify the statement after feedback from the UC Academic Council and others.

The council, which represents faculty, had said in a letter to the regents that an unamended statement would harm academic freedom and cause “needless and expensive litigation, embarrassing to the university, to sort out the difference between intolerance on the one hand, and protected debate and study of Zionism and its alternatives on the other.”

At the meeting, speakers spoke passionately for and against the proposal, citing family backgrounds as Holocaust survivors and Palestinians living under Israeli occupation of their traditional lands.

Omar Zahzah, a UCLA graduate student in comparative literature who told regents that his relatives were forced from their homes with the creation of Israel in 1948, said the statement was an attempt to silence the voices of Palestinian rights advocates.

“Is there no place for us?” he asked the regents.

“Are our stories and our struggles … simply meant to be built over, forgot-

the citizens of Indiana. I appreciate her support for public higher education and her understanding of the special role Indiana State plays in the state’s higher education system,” Bradley said. “Lastly, Sen. Rogers exemplifies the qualities our students and all of us should try to emulate – courage, integrity, a strong work ethic, passionate advocacy, and thoughtful deliberation of difficult issues. I am pleased that Indiana State is able to recognize her long and distinguished career.”

Rogers announced earlier this year she won’t seek re-election in November, ending more than 30 years of service in the state legislature.

A lifelong resident of Gary, Rogers spent 38 years teaching in the Gary Community School Corporation and today works as an education consultant.

She was elected to the Indiana House of Representatives in 1982 and served until 1990.

Entering the state senate in 1991, Rogers currently serves as the ranking Democrat on the Senate Education and Career Development Committee and as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, a panel instrumental in crafting the state budget and school funding formula.

Known for being an effective leader, she also

serves on the Indiana Education Roundtable and the Senate Homeland Security, Transportation and Veteran Affairs Committee.

Rogers has also been at the forefront of major education changes, including the A-Plus reform package, the implementation of ISTEP and anti-bullying legislation. Rogers also authored “Jojo’s Law,” which requires vehicles for 10plus passengers used by public schools, preschools and licensed day care centers to meet the same safety requirements as school buses. Rogers proposed the law in response to an accident that killed Gary pre-schooler Jojo Wright.

In 2010, Rogers authored “Heather’s Law,”

which requires the Department of Education to develop models for Indiana schools to better educate students about dating violence, in response to the death of Heather Norris in 2007.

Prior to her service on the state level, Rogers spent two years on the Gary Common Council, where she was the first woman elected president.

She was the first AfricanAmerican to serve as vice chairman of the Indiana State Democratic Party.

She served as a member of the executive committee of the Democratic National Committee. Rogers also served as the District 1 coordinator for Barack Obama’s 2008 presidential

Colleges address student hunger issue Bill Schackner

Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (TNS)

Matt Armento’s first trip to the food pantry on the Community College of Allegheny County’s South Campus was as a sophomore volunteering to hand out pasta, canned goods and fruit to other students just scraping by.

Honors students at CCAC South had decided that their service project would be to staff the pantry during its soft opening last fall. An honors student himself, Armento was there to join them.

But in reality, he was facing the same financial pressures that had brought his peers there for assistance. So when the pantry held its grand opening this semester, he came back — this time as a recipient.

“I lost my dad to cancer, and me and my mom lost a huge part of our income,” said Armento, 21, a political science student from West Mifflin. “I’ve had to cut back on other things sometimes to get food.”

But his angst was eased this month, thanks to the three days’ worth of meals he brought home.

“I got pasta, peanut butter and jelly, potatoes and carrots — the necessities,”

University of Texas at Austin feels backlash from campus-carry law before it goes into effect Molly Hennessy-Fiske Los Angeles Times (TNS)

Siva Vaidhyanathan was thrilled when he learned he was a finalist to become dean of the communication school at the University of Texas’ flagship campus in Austin.

He considered it a “plum job” and liked the idea of returning to his alma mater.

But shortly after his interview, the 49-year-old professor at the University of Virginia took himself out of the running.

The reason: He was unwilling to step into the middle of an increasingly contentious debate over guns on campus.

Public colleges and universities in Texas will no longer be able to ban the concealed carrying of handguns when a new law takes effect in August.

Though the schools can impose some restrictions, they must generally honor a state-issued concealed handgun license on campus.

The so-called campuscarry law passed by the Republican-dominated Legislature last year was a victory for gun rights advocates who say it will make campuses safer. But in the largely liberal setting of academia, it has spurred a movement of protesters who worry that it will make schools more dangerous, hurt recruitment of faculty and students, and create an atmosphere of fear that even affects how professors issue grades.

The biggest outcry has been at the Austin campus of the University of Texas, where students and faculty have protested and at least two professors have already resigned over the law.

One was Daniel Hamermesh, who taught an introductory economics course and said he feared that “a disgruntled student with a gun would ‘lose it,’ pull out the gun and shoot the instructor.”

“With 500 students in my class, this did not seem

impossible,” Hamermesh, who now teaches at the Royal Holloway University of London, said in an email.

It’s unclear whether the law would affect enrollment in a state where many students grew up around guns.

UT Austin estimates that fewer than 1 percent have concealed handgun licenses, which are available to legal residents 21 and older who have not committed certain crimes and meet other requirements.

But with 50,000 students, that’s still as many as 5,000 potentially carrying a gun.

Colorado, Idaho, Kansas, Mississippi, Oregon, Utah and Wisconsin also guarantee the right to carry guns on college campuses. Similar proposals are in various stages of the legislative process in Alaska, Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio and Tennessee.

California banned concealed weapons on campuses last year, joining 18

other states, while 23 states leave the decision to the schools.

The experience of Utah and Colorado does not support the claim that having more gun owners on campus increases security, according to a study last year by the Campaign to Keep Guns off Campus, a nonprofit based in Croton Falls, N.Y. In both states, crime rates on college campuses increased while the student populations dropped.

The law allows private schools to opt out, which they have, and public institutions to declare portions of a campus gun-free.

Schools across the state have been announcing policies that do just that.

Last month, Gregory Fenves, president of UT Austin, released a policy based on recommendations from a working group of students, faculty and staff. The policy keeps guns out of dorm rooms, sporting events, mental health treatment facilities and labs with dangerous

chemicals. Professors can ban them in their private offices.

But the policy does not outlaw guns in classrooms.

The question of whether guns belong there has dominated the debate over the new law. Ken Paxton, the state attorney general, issued a nonbinding opinion that schools would be breaking the law if they did not allow concealed carry in “a substantial number of classrooms.”

The working group unanimously opposed guns in classrooms but concluded that a ban would violate the new law, the group said in a statement explaining its rationale.

Its decision angered much of the faculty. Physics professor Steven Weinberg, the school’s only Nobel Prize winner, has vowed to keep his classes gun-free, even if students sue.

“A lot of students are not just supporting themselves. They’re supporting children or elderly parents.”

Sometimes, it’s older adults who lost jobs and are back in school seeking new skills so they can re-enter the workforce.

Other times, it’s traditional age undergraduates whose families already were struggling to keep pace with tuition, fees and varied others college costs from books to gasoline and then took a catastrophic hit like the one suffered

by Armento, whose father drove a bread truck before becoming terminally ill.

Armento has a 3.6 gradepoint average at CCAC, an interest in exploring public policy from a global perspective one day and has offers to continue his studies at area campuses including the University of Pittsburgh. Whether he in fact becomes the first in his family to obtain a bachelor’s degree could turn on needs outside the classroom as basic as what he can manage to put on his table.

The federal government does not systematically survey college students on issues of “food insecurity,” described by the U.S. Department of Agriculture as limited or uncertain access to adequate food, including disrupted or reduced food intake. So it’s hard to gauge the hunger problem’s extent.

But advocates say a hint lies in the growing number of food pantries on college and university campuses.

The food bank alliance now counts 276 that are operating or under development, up from 64 pantries five years ago.

“What it tells me is people are waking up to this as an issue,” Cady said.

Much of the problem appears concentrated at community colleges, whose enrollments contain higher percentages of students from the poorest households. But the list of pantries includes prominent four-year campuses, including Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State

University, Ohio State University and Syracuse University, among others.

Last week, the nation’s largest public university system took the issue to a new level with a study that yielded sobering results.

California State University found that nearly 1 in 4 of its 470,000 students on 23 campuses encountered food insecurity and 1 in 10 faced unstable housing situations.

At Penn State University, the student-run Lion’s Pantry that opened in 2014 uses social media to get the word out on the sprawling University Park campus.

“Thinking of donating?” volunteers asked in a recent tweet. “We could use these items … .”

They then ticked off a list from graham crackers to rice to fruit cups and detergent.

Those who show up at pantries are a small share of campus populations, but at large universities that still can mean hundreds of people.

In addition to CCAC South and Penn State, other Pennsylvania campuses with alliance-affiliated pantries include the University of Pittsburgh,

California University of Pennsylvania, Kutztown University, West Chester University, and Montgomery County Community College.

In Morgantown, W.Va., The Rack, a food pantry at West Virginia University, serves several hundred repeat customers in the Mountainlair Student Union and is open five days weekly, said Corey Farris, dean of students.

At Cal U, the Natali Student Center is where students can find the recently opened “Cal U Cupboard,” which operates two hours a day Mondays and Wednesday and by appointment on other days.

“Everybody has a different story,” Diane Hasbrouck, director of the center for volunteer programs and service learning, said of the mix of undergraduates and graduates who fill up tote bags. “They may not be hungry every month, but they may need something to get them through a rough time.”

The bags, by design, look like any other given out at Cal U so that students will not feel embarrassed.

Hasbrouck said it’s rewarding to help students check one worry off their

list, and even more so knowing that food as well as cash donations come from faculty, staff and other students at her school.

“There really aren’t words to describe it,” she said.

At Pitt, space in Bellefield Presbyterian Church has become home to the “Pitt Pantry,” open three days a week. The school says the 35 or so monthly shoppers constitute far less than 1 percent of the student body.

Nevertheless, campus staffer Misti McKeehen said, “Pitt wanted to take a proactive approach.”

Advocates say financial aid growth isn’t enough to absorb rising classroom costs, let alone other expenses such as rent.

Even students poor enough to receive the maximum federal Pell grant, currently $5,815 a year, still can face thousands of dollars in out-ofpocket expenses.

For families in the lowest of incomes, a median of $21,000 a year, even the lower tuition costs at community colleges can eat up 40 percent of household income after grant aid is factored in, leading to some painful choices.

“Students put school first. They pay their tuition, they get their books and supplies and then find out midway through the semester that they don’t have enough money for food,” said Sara GoldrickRab, a professor at the University of Wisconsin and founding director of the Wisconsin Hope Lab, which studies obstacles to completing college.

A limited survey by her group and others, released in December, offered insight into the problem at two-year schools.

The study involved 4,300 community college students at 10 campuses in California, Louisiana, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin and Wyoming. It found that 22 percent had cut the size of their meals or skipped them altogether during at least three of the previous 30 days.

Thirteen percent said they had a brush with a form of homelessness, being either evicted or thrown out of their home, lived in a shelter or abandoned building or were unsure where they would sleep.

Officials said students can receive food stamps

be armed.

“Students get very angry if they feel they’re getting a grade they don’t deserve,” he said. “I have students who come in absolutely red-faced — ‘Why did I get this grade?’”

In a PowerPoint presentation on the new law last month, the faculty senate at the University of Houston made several recommendations to professors.

“You may want to: Be careful discussing sensitive topics,” one slide said.

Other recommendations: “Drop certain topics from your curriculum; not ‘go there’ if you sense anger; limit student access off hours; go to appointment-only office hours; only meet ‘that student’ in controlled circumstances.”

But Vance Roper, 38, a

UT Austin graduate student, Army veteran and gun owner who served on the UT task force, said such worries were overblown, based on inquiries the group made at schools in Colorado and Utah — which allow guns on campus — regarding grading and security.

“The feedback we had gotten was there was no adverse effects,” he said.

At the same time, he acknowledged that the law could hurt the quality of students and professors.

“That is definitely a fear,” he said. “With some people already saying they’re leaving, it’s hard to say that’s unfounded.”

Roper, who is pursuing degrees at the schools of communication and architecture, has seen the effect

up close: The architecture dean, Frederick Steiner, found a job elsewhere.

Steiner is not a gun owner, but he is the son of a Marine and police officer and grew up hunting in Ohio. His attitude toward guns is simple: “There is a place for them — an appropriate place — and that was for hunting.”

He was especially concerned about students carrying concealed guns in the architecture studios, where they spend months crafting intricate models to be critiqued. “They may be tired and very emotionally connected to a project, and then a faculty member or a practicing architect will say, ‘Well, this doorway won’t work,’” Steiner said. “Adding a firearm to a situation that’s already

stressful — I don’t see how that’s useful.

“Campus-carry was something of a tipping point for me,” said Steiner, who is headed to the University of Pennsylvania. “I

in Pennsylvania but, depending on their circumstances, may have to work at least 20 hours a week or have a child under 12 years old.

The South Campus of CCAC draws many students from the Mon Valley, which has been hardhit by the loss of steel industry jobs. More than a quarter of its students have household incomes low enough to qualify for the maximum Pell Grant.

The pantry’s inspiration, ironically, was a hoagie theft by a desperate student who was unaware that her crime in the cafeteria was caught on a security camera. Campus president Charlene Newkirk, herself a first-generation college student, decided that a bigger issue than a routine theft was at stake.

So last month, after a soft opening drew 150 students and family members, the Campus Cupboard South held a ribbon-cutting ceremony. It is the first campus pantry affiliated with the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.

On the third Wednesday of each month, desks inside a classroom are arranged in a horseshoe shape enabling patrons to browse items. A greenhouse that used to support a horticultural program no longer active at South is being used, along with an outdoor garden, to grow vegetables for the pantry.

Boxes are stored in cases of emergencies on days the pantry is not open.

“We really do look at it as a retention tool,” said Kelli Maxwell, dean of student development. “If students can’t get their basic needs met, how are they going to succeed?”

She likened it to the best form of public assistance — one intended to move people toward an educational credential that will make it far less likely they will ever need such assistance again.

For Armento, it means one less worry each month as he juggles full-time courses and work study employment.

But Abraham “Avi” Oved, the student regent, whose parents were born in Israel, said the statement “unequivocally embraces the First Amendment” while protecting students who have been called “Zionist pigs” or been told that “Zionist pigs should be sent back to the gas chambers.”

Charles F. Robinson, the board’s general counsel, told regents that the statements were “lawful on their face” as they do not impose a ban on any speech or behavior or provide a basis for sanctions against any UC member.

The issue has prompted a flood of dueling petitions, letters and articles, including 1,000 emails to UC President Janet Napolitano since the report was released this month.

The report provided no

sanctions but called on educators to “challenge” bias.

“It would be a breakthrough,” said Tammi Rossman-Benjamin, a UC Santa Cruz lecturer and director of the AMCHA Initiative, which combats anti-Jewish bias on campuses and led the drive for the UC statement.

Rossman-Benjamin said statement supporters — who include major American Jewish organizations, former UC President Mark Yudof and more than 4,000 UC students, faculty, alumni, parents and donors — had no intention of suppressing free speech.

Rather they aimed to raise awareness of how anti-Israel activities have led to harassment and hostility toward Jewish students, she said.

Her group led the push for a statement after a series of incidents targeting Jewish students on UC

Monday, March 28, 2016 • Page 3 campuses. They included the defacing of a Jewish fraternity house with a Nazi swastika at UC Davis last year and the questioning of a student’s eligibility for a UCLA campus judicial panel because she is Jewish.

The campaign marks the latest in a series of efforts to address what RossmanBenjamin says is negative fallout against Jewish students because of anti-Israel activities.

But both the U.S. Department of Education’s civil rights office and a federal judge have dismissed complaints by UC Jewish students that such activities have created a hostile climate and violated their educational rights.

The students complained about such campus actions as mock military checkpoints set up by Palestinian-rights activists during “Israel Apartheid Week” and comments by a

professor about Israeli airstrikes.

“In the university environment, exposure to such robust and discordant expression, even when personally offensive and hurtful, is a circumstance that a reasonable student in higher education may experience,” the civil rights office concluded in its 2013 investigation dismissing complaints by Jewish students at UC Berkeley, Santa Cruz and Irvine.

The report was prepared by an eight-person working group of regents, the student regent, a faculty member, chancellor and vice provost. It includes a “contextual statement” that accepts a link between anti-Semitism and antiZionism.

“Opposition to Zionism often is expressed in ways that are not simply statements of disagreement over politics and policy, but also assertions

of prejudice and intolerance toward Jewish people and culture,” the statement says. “Anti-Semitism, antiZionism and other forms of discrimination have no place at the University of California.”

But the statement asserts that First Amendment principles and free speech must be paramount in guiding responses to acts of bias. It also includes concerns raised about bias directed at Muslims, African-Americans, immigrant-rights supporters

and the LGBT community.

The report includes 10 “principles against intolerance” that specifies that harassment, threats, assaults, vandalism, destruction of property and interference with the right of others to speak will not be tolerated.

The principles affirm the legal right to academic freedom and free speech, but say “mutual respect and civility” in debate and dialog are also important.

Academic tips and tricks Dajia Kirkland Features Editor

College can be really hard if you do not have some type of schedule, routine, good time management or self-motivation. When we get into college we step into a new place — an adult playground where independence truly begins. With our independence in college we have the opportunity to succeed within our academic career. Here are some ways to help get you walking down the stage to accept your diploma.

Junior nursing major Errick Herron says that a calendar is his best friend.

“In the beginning of each semester I go through all my syllabi and a write out my assignments, papers and tests on a calendar,” Herron said. “Then every Sunday I look through it to see exactly what needs to happen during my week.”

Writing his assignments and obligations down helps keep his life organized.

“Because I am an RA and have other priorities, I just go ahead and write out my meetings and open days in there too. Study, study, study — it’s the only way to get through,” Herron said.

Time management will be one of the best things to have in your life, during college and after. Plan out your day and figure out what needs to be done ahead of time. Even if you are going through the day by the hour because it helps, do it.

Shacara Chrisp, a junior psychology major, suggests using sticky notes.

“Over the weekend, I look through my weekly assignments, and I write notices down on sticky notes,” Chrisp said. “Any tests, assignments, papers, and even my work schedule gets written down. I post them on the back of my door; it is the only place that forces me to look.

When the door is closed, I see an entrance filled with pink sticky notes, and my life written on them.”

Chrisp continued, saying, “It is very helpful.

Write out everything that has to be done, and unless you are trying not to look, you won’t miss a thing.

Now, the only hard part comes from actually doing the assignments.”

Another good tip is self-motivation. Our parents are no longer here to remind us when to do things, and how important it is to do them. You come to school to get an education, but you also end up

‘Destination Success’ increases female tech students’ confidence in future Kristen Kilker

ISU Communications and Marketing

A pilot program that connects female technology students and mentors is underway at Indiana State University and aims to help them be more successful as students and beyond.

A recent coaching session focused on helping the students in the program fine-tune their resumes and learn how to set and obtain goals.

Sarah Wilde, career services coordinator and College of Technology liaison, jumpstarted the session with a presentation on resumes.

Afterward, students were treated to a five-minute cupcake break in honor of National Mentoring Month before a presentation by State alumna and Destination Success organizer Mary McGuire from the College of Technology Executive Advisory and ISU Foundation boards.

“From my perspective, I had a great career as an engineering manager, a blessed life — and now it’s my opportunity to give back to Indiana State and the College of Technology,” McGuire said. “When I was at Indiana State, I had a couple of mentors that were key to my success in my early career, and I think it’s important to offer the same thing to this current generation.”

McGuire serves as cochair and champion (mentor) of Destination Success

This new pilot program hopes to connect female technology students and mentors.

along with Dwuena Wyre, associate professor of human resource development, and Kara Harris, associate dean in the College of Technology.

Cheryl Roberson, program director in the defense sector of Rolls-Royce and State alumna, also helps to champion the 11 female students in the pilot program.

McGuire’s data-andoutput based presentation revealed how to set goals that are specific, measurable, attainable, realistic and timely (or SMART).

McGuire also revealed her own personal trick for sticking to goals — finding an “accountability buddy” to promise results to and

count on for support.

The students learned to apply McGuire’s process to their own personal goals, which they revealed to the room after a 10-minute goal-setting exercise.

Brianna Francis, a junior computer engineering technology major from Port Charlotte, Florida, plans to apply for internships so she can secure one for this fall.

“Having the one-on-one sessions with my mentor is really nice because it reassures me and motivates me, and we can set goals together so it’s not all on me,” Francis said. “So, it’s nice to collaborate and get things done with an ‘accountability buddy.’ It’s

very encouraging.”

Geena McFaul, a senior safety management major from St. Anthony, will settle for nothing less than a B for her final semesters, so she can graduate with a GPA of 3.5 or higher.

“It’s just nice talking with Mary and everything, especially being a female in a more male-dominated field. It makes a big difference,” said McFaul of her mentor McGuire. “It’s good to express that and get feedback and personal stories. It can be intimidating knowing you’re the only female in a career, but it’s also like a motivation, too.”

Francis says that as a woman in science, technology, engineering and math

(STEM) field, the future looks “very bright,” and she hopes she is invited back to the program next semester.

McGuire says she chose her career because she loved what she was doing and stayed with it.

“I never looked at it as being a women — it was me. If we can build a passion in these ladies to go after their goals — and let them know that they can do it — that is really what my goal is,” McGuire said.

“No matter what you do, you’ll have issues, but it’s how you approach them.

Having a positive attitude, setting goals will make you very successful in your job, and also in life.”

At 10 years old and riding in the back of a stationwagon, Brent McPike’s passion for music began when he heard Peter Frampton’s “Do You Feel Like I Do” on the radio.

“The sound of that electrical guitar hit me like lightning,” said Brent McPike, associate professor in Indiana State University’s School of Music.

McPike, who grew up listening to artists such as The Beatles, Peter Frampton and KISS, has been playing the guitar ever since.

Growing up, his grandfather taught him how to play guitar, which eventually led him in the direction of completing his bachelor’s and master’s degrees in music.

His experiences have varied from jazz bands at Butler University all the way to Busch Gardens in

Virginia.

During his time at Busch Gardens, McPike got to play at the same time as Grammy-winner Victor Wooten.

For years McPike has been teaching guitar les-

sons and has had students go on to be successful musicians. His students taking lessons range from elementary aged students to adults.

“I’ve always enjoyed my career so much as a teacher

because I always got to deal with elementary, college and even older adult students. I’ve always enjoyed that I was teaching students at different stages of life,” McPike said.

One of McPike’s current

students is Yong Joon Park, associate professor of elementary, early and special education in the Bayh College of Education.

Park has been taking lessons through McPike’s students and McPike for more than two years.

“He is energetic, he is passionate and he is a caring person. He truly cares about music, music education and future musicians.

He cares about his students,” Park said.

Park integrates the guitar into plans for his classes at Indiana State.

“Hopefully in the future on campus many faculty and staff members, if they’re interested, will learn to play. I truly recommend Brent; he is a good teacher,” Park said.

Private lessons with McPike are available through the Community School of the Arts. Call 812-237-2528 for more information.

Robert De Niro reverses course, yanks anti-vaccine film from Tribeca lineup Steven Zeitchik

Los Angeles Times (TNS)

Facing a growing outcry, Tribeca Film Festival cofounder Robert De Niro has decided to remove a controversial anti-vaccine film from the gathering’s lineup.

Just a day after the actor revealed that he had personally pushed for a showing of the film, titled “Vaxxed” and directed by the polarizing anti-vaccine activist Andrew Wakefield, De Niro reversed his position.

“My intent in screening this film was to provide an opportunity for conversation around an issue that is deeply personal to me and my family,” De Niro said in a statement Saturday after-

noon. “But after reviewing it over the past few days with the Tribeca Film Festival team and others from the scientific community, we do not believe it contributes to or furthers the discussion I had hoped for.”

Tribeca caused an uproar earlier in the week when it announced that “Vaxxed” would be screened at this year’s festival.

The movie alleges a “cover-up” by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention over the measles, mumps and rubella vaccine increasing the risk of autism — a position that has been widely discredited by the scientific community and criticized for leading to a dangerous drop-off in MMR vaccinations.

Recent years have

brought an increase in measles outbreaks, including a high-profile series of cases tied to Disneyland in 2015.

The festival’s decision to give Wakefield a platform — he was also invited to speak as part of a postscreening discussion — was radioactive from the start.

Social media reaction was swift and negative, and many science bloggers spoke out against the decision.

The New Yorker medical journalist Michael Specter told the Los Angeles Times that it was “shocking” and “disgraceful.” “This is a criminal who is responsible for people dying,” Specter said.

L.A. Times columnist

Michael Hiltzik was also an outspoken critic.

“That hand-waving in favor of ‘dialogue’ can shield a lot of damaging mischief,” he wrote.

On Friday, De Niro revealed that he, and not the festival’s programmers, had been the one to schedule the film, citing interest in the issue stemming from his child, who is autistic.

It was unclear what prompted the about-face such a short time later.

De Niro in the statement sought to downplay the effects of the negative publicity.

“The festival doesn’t seek to avoid or shy away from controversy,” he said.

“However, we have concerns with certain things in this film that we feel pre-

vent us from presenting it in the festival program.”

Where this leaves Wakefield remains an open question. The activist could still seek to hold a separate screening in New York outside the festival on April 24, the day it was scheduled.

He also could use the decision as proof of a conspiracy against his theories.

“Once you give someone a platform, it’s very hard to take it away,” Specter said earlier in the week. “It creates a martyr.”

Still, he said that the outcome was far preferable to the alternative, which would have given Wakefield a seal of legitimacy.

“It is comforting to know that in the end, Mr. De Niro and his colleagues at the festival responded to data

and science rather than to emotion and fear,” he wrote in an email. “Many children will benefit from this decision.”

Wakefield did not immediately comment via social media or a representative.

His Twitter page Saturday afternoon continued to tout the festival appearance.

“Please go now to the Tribeca Film Festival site for the whistleblower documentary VAXXED and thank them,” read the Tweet at the top of his feed, which included a link.

The link went to a defunct Tribeca page; the film had been removed from the festival’s website. ©2016 Los Angeles Times.

Movie review: Nothing new in ‘My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2’ Katie Walsh

Tribune News Service (TNS)

Back in 2002, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding” became a bona fide cultural phenomenon, a romantic comedy that mined the cultural specificities of the Greek heritage of unknown writer and star Nia Vardalos.

The film picked up an Oscar nomination for Vardalos’ original screenplay, everyone began adding “My Big Fat” in front of various nouns, and we all learned a thing or two about the versatility of Windex.

Fourteen years later, Vardalos and gang are back again for another wedding, but this time, it’s to drastically diminished returns.

The screenplay feels as if it was written the year after the first film’s success, just with a few jokes about Facetime inserted for 2016 topicality. The rest of the jokes either don’t land or feel about as fresh as a twoday old spanakopita.

The first half of the film is incredibly rough, a stilted, awkward affair where all the timing is off and none of the half-hearted physical comedy or Greek puns truly land.

Part of this is due to Var-

dalos’ performance.

She plays Toula with a dull, listless, deer-in-theheadlights gaze.

This is clearly a choice for the story — she’s lost the romance and zest in her relationship since being a mom to teenager Paris (Elena Kampouris).

At the urging of her Aunt Voula (absolute MVP Andrea Martin), who reminds her she was “a girlfriend before a mom,” she finally puts on makeup and makes out with her husband, the WASPy lumberjack Ian (John Corbett). This seems to wake her up a bit.

Still, the film has much ground to make up after the rocky start.

While the marketing for the movie seems to suggest that her daughter is the one getting married, that’s a bait and switch.

In actuality, it’s Toula’s parents who are having another big fat Greek wedding, after discovering that their Greek marriage certificate was never signed.

Once the wedding swings into gear, “My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2” finally finds its footing.

Vardalos, as a writer, chooses to celebrate Greek culture by consistently placing the family as other,

with people who want to prosper in life and develop a small study group.

Furthermore, relax; do not stress yourself out. You want to succeed with ease, and when you find what works for you, it will be easier to get through your academic career.

using uptight blonde white women — judgmental neighbors and snooty wedding planners — as the foils to illustrate their ethnicity as different or distasteful, their habits and customs as weird or strange.

Eventually, Toula stands up to them and they accept their Greek neighbors, but in the melting pot of America, it seems like this exploration of culture sets

different kinds of people apart as much as it brings family together.

There’s also the matter of the film’s reliance on traditional marriage as a cultural institution and carrier of tradition and ritual.

While some of the female characters express hesitation about it, ultimately, they all must embrace this type of coupling in order to come together.

Not to mention the antiquated ideas about sex (“keep your knees together,” they admonish Paris) paired with the aggressive TMI about Aunt Voula’s intimate life.

If you liked the first film, there’s more to enjoy from these characters, and the devoted longterm relationship between Toula’s parents (played wonderfully

by Lainie Kazan and Mi-

chael Constantine) has its truly sweet moments.

But there’s nothing fresh brought to the table, and it lacks the element of surprise and discovery of the first film.

It’s just another 90 minutes with this group of characters, and unfortunately, that’s not enough. ©2016 Tribune Content Agency, LLC. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, LLC.

Entrepreneurship a form of social change

Mason Moton Columnist

If every startup can employ at least five people, the problem of growing unemployment will be solved.

I don’t know who may read this, whether young or old, single or married, scared or brave, but this article is about social change.

Have you ever logged onto the Blind Entrepreneur? It is a website started by a good friend of mine named John Grzybowski who is a young entrepreneur.

He began his marketing business around 2008 and has been fighting ever since.

When I met him in 2013, he was conducting interviews with interesting people in Philadelphia to attract traffic to his website mantears.com.

Now, he is focused strictly on young entrepreneurs.

One thing I won’t forget him telling me is how difficult it is to start a business young.

He told me about the older people making it a challenge for him to get his foot known as Dino Enterprises into the marketing business’s door.

Looking at his Facebook page now, I’d say the three years time has been good to him.

Another friend of mine went against his father’s wishes of going to medical school to open his own art gallery, Work of Art Studios.

He told me to be a star you have to shoot for them.

From a global perspective, East Timor, a new country that won its independence from Indonesia

in 2002, is seeing its share of young people living out their dreams.

A 32-year-old used his savings and help from friends to do what he loves, which is to cook outside.

He can’t afford a truck so he calls his business a mobile kitchen. It’s like a gas stove on wheels.

Other young adults like him have left government jobs to open cafés.

Some have used the internet to sell culturally unique clothing that is only found in their parts of the world.

States in India are designing new policies for universities to become hubs for entrepreneurial ideas.

Critics call these policies experimental. Officials say that they are logical attempts to revitalize economy.

Young people are more daring and risk taking, so they are wanting to capitalize on these qualities to gel together the ideas and talents of the youth in order to use them commercially.

Not everyone who graduates has to move on to corporate jobs.

Joshua Davidson, 22, is a CEO of his own company called ChopDawg. The company helps entrepreneurs and businesses make their great ideas into realities.

Guy Vincent, 28, is the CEO of Publishizer. The company is a crowd-funding platform for publishers and authors.

Ted Cruz suggests policing Muslims

Joe Lippard

Assistant Opinions Editor

Last Tuesday, a terrorist attack rocked the city of Brussels.

As most politicians do, statements were issued from presidential candidates soon after.

Responses were largely typical, with Democratic candidates Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton stating that we should not seek to divide people based on their religion in the wake of these attacks, while Republican candidates blamed Muslims for the attack.

Donald Trump said that Muslims weren’t doing their part in reporting suspicious activity, while Ted Cruz actually stole the limelight for a brief moment.

In a statement issued from his campaign, Cruz suggested that “We need to empower law enforcement

to patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods before they become radicalized.”

The same statement also decried “political correctness.”

The statement immediately drew criticism from political opponents.

President Obama, having just returned from a trip to Cuba, pointed out that Cruz’s father, who was a Cuban refugee, fled the same type of surveillance that his son is now suggesting.

President Obama said, “As far as the notion of having surveillance of neighborhoods where Muslims are present, I just left a country that engages in that kind of neighborhood surveillance, which, by the way, the father of Sen. Cruz escaped for America, the land of the free.”

New York Police Department Commissioner William Bratton wrote in the New York Daily News, “We already patrol and secure Muslim neighborhoods, the same way we patrol and secure other neighborhoods.”

He continued, “We do not ‘patrol and secure’

neighborhoods based on selective enforcement because of race or religion, nor will we use the police and an occupying force to intimidate a populace or a religion to appease the provocative chatter of politicians seeking to exploit fear.”

I think that Cruz’s suggestion is completely absurd.

In the United States of America, a country that often prides itself on guaranteeing its citizens freedom of religion, a leading candidate to take the highest office in the country suggesting that police officers should specifically target a group of people based on their religion is ridiculous.

What makes all of Cruz’s talk even worse is his history of advocating for special treatment of Christians — he rallied for Kentucky county clerk Kim Davis in 2015 after she was arrested for refusing a court order to issue same-sex marriage licenses — while also advocating for treating Muslims as second-class citizens of sorts — in 2015, Cruz also suggested only taking in Christian refugees from

Syria while refusing Muslim refugees.

Cruz seems to think that the only people who should be free to practice their religion are Christians, which is a problem considering Cruz’s supposed love for the Constitution that guarantees equal protection to all people regardless of their religion.

We’ve seen this kind of policing before.

In Germany, police patrolled ghettos to prevent uprisings before and during World War II. Luckily for us, and I suppose unluckily for Cruz, we don’t have specific areas where Muslims live.

We don’t segregate people into ghettos based on something as petty and inconsequential as religion.

We like to think of America as a civilized, “first-world” country.

Yet we still have politicians like Ted Cruz who seem content to propose discriminatory measures against people just because they don’t like a religion.

It’s absurd that we still allow this kind of talk in our political discourse.

Don’t be afraid to try out new music Jim Kreinhop Columnist

Music, you’ll find, is something that is enjoyed by most everybody on the planet.

Listening to music is inherent in our behavior. For thousands of years, cultures around the world have traditionalized a plethora of different sounds or genres: classical, jazz, rock ‘n’ roll, hip-hop or dubstep, to name a few.

Many people can appreciate all types of music, such as those listed above, while others are more se-

lective.

I have reverence for a number of genres; I swim softly in a Brazilian river of rhythms, I bang my head to the high speed of heavy metal and I gesture powerfully with my right hand while I rap into my left hand as if I’m holding a microphone.

I enjoy a diverse range of music, but I’m picky about what I think is good music.

I like music that sounds like it was written with some thought behind it, whether that thought influenced how the guitar or drums were played, how the lyrics were written, or how the song itself was arranged.

As a musician myself, I like to hear what other artists have to say with their instruments.

If you write a song on guitar, show me what you can really play, show off a

little.

Not every song can be a cookie-cutter, 4-chord, verse-chorus-repeat tune that doesn’t grab, or even reach for the listener’s attention.

Play in a different time signature, play a guitar solo.

Your guitar has so many frets on it, with six strings, there’s a lot you could be playing: find it and play it.

If you sing and write music, don’t write another love song.

To me, writing love songs is taking the easy way out because it’s such an overdone subject that half the songs on the radio are about someone’s “oneand-only.”

Where’s the creativity in writing about an experience as common as having a girlfriend?

Lots of people have girlfriends, and thank God

they’re not all writing songs about it.

I want to hear a different story, one with detail, plot twists and without filler words like “hey,” “alright,” and “oh, yeah,” again, because this is lazy literature.

I find it very unfortunate that there are so many singers who can’t write and writers who can’t sing, although it’s not in their job descriptions.

A poor characteristic of mine is that I tend to speak condescendingly of music that I deem talentless, non-provocative and boring, like techno music.

The electronic sound does not interest me for a couple reasons: the melodies and rhythms are monotonous and repetitive and the songs aren’t recorded, they’re constructed on the computer.

Therefore, these songs lack a human element.

It is published Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during the academic school year. Two special issues are published during the summer. The paper is printed by the Tribune Star in Terre Haute, Ind.

If a band records music on real instruments, you’ll be able to hear the nuances of each instrument when they are played lightly or heavily, you’ll be able to hear the imperfections that appear almost inevitably, which make the songs sound human.

Whereas songs that are created by arranging sound clips on a beatmaking software, such as Fruity Loops, sound like what they are: electronic.

The songs sound robotic and non-human, which, I’ll grant, is the intended effect. I just don’t like it.

However, I’ve started to realize that the way I categorize music is biased. It goes like this: music I like is good and music I dislike is bad.

In my life, I’ve set a high standard for the music I find respectable, and it may have something to do

with my own musicianship.

Since I’ve written songs in a garage band and on my own for five years, I can easily detect who put a lot of thought into what they were writing and who didn’t.

But music isn’t primarily about competition; it’s about enjoyment.

Whatever music you listen to, you do so because you like it.

You don’t listen to it because of how it affects others around you, you do it for you.

You could disagree with what I think makes music good or bad, and the best part is that we’re both right.

We like what we like, and we can’t explain that.

Music is never inherently right or wrong, but it’s here, so enjoy it while you are, too.

Baseball drops series with Indiana in extras Ashley Dickerson

Game One Indiana State Baseball hosted in-state rival Indiana on Friday night under the lights at Bob Warn Field.

The Sycamores led after six innings, but would fall to the Hoosiers by a final score of 7-5.

The Sycamores struck first, scoring one in the bottom of the first inning as senior Kaden Moore singled to score senior Andy DeJesus.

The lead would not last long as the Hoosiers then loaded the bases and cleared them with a grand slam, putting them up 4-1.

Indiana State scored three more in the bottom of the third after juniors Tony Rosselli and Cody Gardner hit back-to-back singles to plate junior Hunter Owen and senior Kaden Moore, while Rosselli made his way around to third off a Hoosier miscue and eventually scored on Gardner’s single, putting Indiana State on top, 5-4.

Answering in the top of the sixth and seventh innings, the Hoosiers put up three more runs to go ahead of the Sycamores, and would hold on to win 7-5.

In the loss for Indiana State, Gardner led the offense with a perfect 4-for4 performance at the plate and knocking in one run.

Rosselli hit his second homer of the season, and finished 2-for-3 at the plate with two runs scored, two RBIs, and a walk.

No. 12 senior catcher Kaden Moore dives into second base during a game against Indiana University.

The Sycamores left eight runners stranded, as the Hoosiers only stranded three.

Game Two Sycamore Baseball continued the series with instate rival Indiana that ended with the Sycamores on top, taking game two by the score of 5-1.

Leading Indiana State on the mound was junior Ryan Keaffaber who kept the Hoosiers at bay, improving to 2-2 on the season.

The Sycamores out-hit the Hoosiers, tallying 12 total hits throughout the game.

The Sycamores and Hoosiers battled back and forth for the first three innings for a chance at scoring the first run of the game.

The Hoosiers threatened, putting a total of six runners on in the first three innings, but the Sycamore defense remained solid behind Keaffaber.

Indiana State would

draw first blood, scoring one in the fourth inning, and holding off the Hoosiers as they threatened in the fifth and sixth innings.

The Hoosiers plated one in the bottom of the seventh inning, before the Sycamores exploded to score three in the top of the eighth.

The Sycamores were not satisfied with a 4-1 lead over Indiana, as the pair of senior Andys would combine to score another run.

Senior Andy DeJesus singled, stole second, and then reached third on a wild pitch before senior Andy Young doubled to plate him.

Leading the offensive charge for the Sycamores was Dungan, who went 2-for-4 with one RBI, Owen who was 2-for-4 with two runs scored, and DeJesus who was 2-for-5 with one run scored.

On the mound for Indiana State, Keaffaber did the

gether two very strong relay races toward the end of the action on Saturday.

First, the distance crew of Brittany Neeley, Jessi Conley, Aleksey Green and Brooke Moore took a crack at breaking Indiana State’s all-time 4x800-meter relay record and came fairly close to doing so.

The quartet finished third at 8:59.32, becoming just the second sub-9:00 relay in school history behind the 1995 record of 8:48.97 – which included current ISU interim director of athletics Angie Lansing.

The Sycamore women also had a strong showing in the 4x400-meter relay to close out the weekend festivities.

Jamie Newsome, Ahmanah Woods, Demetra Camble and Oschtisha Jackson finished fourth overall at 3:45.57 — three

seconds faster than ISU’s best in the event this past indoor season.

In the field, the Sycamores were able to sweep the open pole vault titles with a win by freshman Kim Jackson.

Following a win by freshman Riley Smith on Friday, Jackson took today’s crown with a leap of 3.50m (1105.75).

Sophomore Jessica Melchi also placed in the topthree at 3.35m (10-11.75).

Also placing high in the field was senior Whitney Walker in her first javelin outing of the season.

Walker finished third overall at 37.73m (123-09), with junior Colby Johnson also making it through to finals at 35.70m (117-01).

Indiana State will make a much shorter trek next week to nearby Eastern Illinois for the Big Blue Classic on April 1-2.

1-0.

The Hoosiers answered, matching with a homer from sophomore Logan Sowers to tie the game at one.

The tie would not last long, as the Sycamores broke out in the fifth inning, scoring two more to extend the lead 3-1.

The scoring campaign began with junior Cody Gardner taking a free pass to first before senior Andrew Gutierrez moved him to third on a double to left field.

Gardner would trot home safely on a sacrifice hit from senior Andy DeJesus. Junior Hunter Owen then went to work, doubling to plate another run and putting Indiana State up 3-1.

Indiana’s Sowers then struck again as he crushed his second home run of the game, a two-run shot, knotting the score at 3-3.

The Sycamores threat-

ened again in the seventh and eighth innings, but would not score.

The final game of the series went into extras, as the Hoosiers and Sycamores remained knotted at 3-3.

In the 10th inning, Indiana would win on a walkoff, two-run homer from junior Tony Butler.

Freshman Tyler Ward threw five complete innings for the Sycamores, giving up only three hits and walking none.

Young tallied his second bomb of the season, while Gutierrez went 2-for-4 with two doubles on the day.

RALEIGH, N.C. – Senior All-American hurdler Adarius Washington claimed victory in the 110-meter hurdles as the Sycamore men’s and women’s track and field teams closed out their stay at NC State for the Raleigh Relays on Saturday.

After a dominating open on Friday, both Washington and junior Marcus Neely finished high in the hurdles on Saturday, finishing first and fourth in the event. Washington improved ever-so-slightly from his 13.68 on Friday to 13.67, which currently ranks him No. 2 in the NCAA and No. 1 in the entire East region – almost assuring the senior Indianapolis native a slot in the NCAA East Regional meet at the end of May. Washington has proved he still has room to grow, though, as his overall career best is 13.58 – the No. 4 time in Indiana State history that was run at last year’s Drake Relays.

Meanwhile, Neely – who ran a massive PR of 13.83 on Friday – finished fourth at 14.10. Neely’s performance Friday still holds up as an impressive one, putting him fifth in the nation and fourth in the East Region right now to put him in good contention for regional qualifying as well.

Washington was also a member of a solid men’s 4x100-meter relay squad that ran the best time at ISU in two years after clocking in at 41.11. The crew of Washington, Scott Schreiber, Tristan Parmley and Jaynard Keys improved on last year’s time by nearly half a second.

The Sycamores weren’t done in the relays, though, as the ISU women put to-

work for eight complete innings and an out before sophomore Jeremy McKinney entered to close for the Sycamores.

The win improved Keaffaber to 2-2 and earned the team their fourteenth win of the season and the second over a Big Ten foe this season.

Game Three Indiana State Baseball (14-11, 0-0 MVC) continued their battle with Indiana (12-10, 0-0 Big Ten) in a 10-inning match-up on Easter Sunday.

The Sycamores had the early lead, but would fall to the Hoosiers 5-3 in extras.

Early in the game, the Sycamores threatened as junior Kyle Moore doubled in the top of the third inning with two outs, but would not score until the top of the next inning as senior Andy Young crushed his second long ball of the season over the center field wall to put Indiana State up
