Redbirds Await Sycamores in St. Louis Desmond O’Sullivan Reporter

As Arch Madness gets underway, Sycamore men’s basketball heads into St. Louis to take on the third-seeded Illinois State Redbirds in the State Farm Missouri Valley Conference Tournament in their hopes to win the MVC Championship and secure a berth in the NCAA Tournament. Indiana State (14-16, 8-10 MVC) and Illinois State Redbirds (18-13, 12-6 MVC) have split their season series 1-1, with the Sycamores taking the first meeting 77-65 and the Redbirds taking the most recent game 7850 in Normal, Illinois. They will be facing a Redbird squad that is coming off of one of their worst losses of the season, delivered by the No. 1 seeded Wichita State Shockers, 74-58. The Sycamores won their last regular season game against the Bradley Braves 7758, snapping a six-

game losing streak. The Sycamores will be looking to improve upon their performance from last year’s MVC tournament when they were dispatched by the Loyola Ramblers in the quarterfinals, 81-53. The Redbirds have gone on to postseason action for the last two years, making it to the College Basketball Invitational semifinals in 2014 and the second round of the National Invitational Tournament in 2015. The Sycamores have gone on to postseason action twice in the past three years, advancing to the first round of the NIT in 2013 and 2014. Both teams have plenty of incentive for winning this quarterfinal. Neither the Sycamores nor the Redbirds are guaranteed a national postseason berth because of the fact that they both don’t possess strongenough regular season records to help ensure them spots in the tourney, making this quarterfinal a must-win. The Sycamores will once again be looking to their

star players Devonte Brown, Brenton Scott, and Khristian Smith for a spark to propel them to victory. Seniors Brown, Brandon Burnett and Smith will especially be wanting to make their marks on this game to give themselves the best chance of not making this game their last one as Sycamores. Brown and Scott led the Sycamores in scoring against the Bradley Braves with 24 points and 11 points respectively and will be looking to build on that momentum in their performances against Illinois State. Turnovers treated the Sycamores well with the Braves committing 15 turnovers to ISU’s eight. Foul trouble was present for both teams, but was even more so for the Braves as they committed 27 to 22 by the white and blue. DeVaughn Akoon-Purcell and MiKyle McIntosh led the Redbirds in their losing effort against the Shockers with 15 points from Akoon-Purcell and 14 points from McIntosh. The Redbirds found

themselves powerless to shore up the Shocker att a ck and fell behind quickly in the first half, and aside from a mild comeback, the game was dominated by Wichita State. The Redbirds committed 25 personal fouls to WSU’s 16, and McIntosh fouled out of the game with five personal fouls. The Redbirds also committed 17 turnovers to Wichita State’s six. The matchup will take place at the Scottrade Center in St. Louis, Missouri at 9:30 p.m. on Friday. It will also be available to watch on MVC TV, The Valley on ESPN3 and the WatchESPN app. Radio coverage is available on 95.9 WDKE.

ISU Athletic Media Relations

The Indiana State Basketball trio of Devonte Brown, Brenton Scott and Everett Clemons have earned postseason honors today (March 1) from the Missouri Valley Conference. The all-conference selections are voted upon by the league’s head coaches, sports information directors and a media panel. Devonte Brown and Brenton Scott were named to the All-Missouri Valley Conference Second Team while Everett Clemons picked up a spot on the Missouri Valley Conference All-Newcomer Team. Brown and Scott make it a school record nine consecutive years in which at least one Sycamore has earned all-conference recognition. That is the third longest stretch among the current membership of the Missouri Valley Conference. Brown and Scott were the only teammates to both finish in the Top 5 for league only scoring average during the 2015-16 campaign. Brown has been named to the AllMVC Second Team for the second consecutive season. In 2015, he was also named the Missouri Valley Conference’s Most Improved Player.

He became the 37th member of the Indiana State Basketball 1,000 Point Club earlier this season and was named the MVC Player of the Week for his 26 point and 24 point scoring efforts against Southern Illinois and Evansville on January 25. He finished fifth in the league with a 15.8 ppg average while his 16.9 ppg scoring average in league contests ranked third. Brown’s 4.9 rebounds per game ranked 14th while his 4.9 average in league contests ranked 15th. He hit 79.9 percent of his free throws in league play to rank ninth. He opened the season with 25 points against IUPUI to go with four assists and three steals. Brown converted a conventional 3-point play with eight seconds remaining to secure a 67-66 win over Hofstra which sealed a third place finish in the Paradise Jam. He

tied for the team lead with 20 points and pulled down 10 rebounds to post his first career double-double in the win over IllinoisSpringfield. Brown set a school record with a perfect 14-14 effort at the free throw line in leading the team with 24 points in the win at Saint Louis. He achieved a new career-high with 27 points, including a personal 9-0 first half run and a halftime buzzer beating 3-pointer in the road win over Drake. He tied for the team lead with 24 points in the home win over Evansville to go with six assists and five re-

bounds. On Senior Day, Brown scored 24 points and pulled down seven rebounds to defeat Bradley. Brown has always had a knack for getting to the free throw line over his career and had one of best seasons in doing just that as a senior. This season he visited the free throw line 247 times and ranks sixth nationally while his 188 free throws made ranks eighth-best in the country. His 188 free throws made is fourth-best for a season in the history of the program while 247 trips to the charity stripe are third best. He is just 20 more free throw attempts away from Jerry Newsom’s school record set in 1967-68. For his career, Brown’s 610 free throws made ranks fourth best while his 422 free throws made is tied for fifth. Scott picked up his first career all-conference honor when

he was named to the AllMVC Second Team. In 2015, Scott was named the MVC Freshman Of The Year as the leading vote getter on the all-freshman team. He finished the season sixth in the MVC with a 14.9 ppg average while his league only average of 15.8 ppg was fourth. He made 77.7 percent of his free throws to rank 10th in the league while his 77.6 percent mark in MVC games ranked 12th. Scott’s 1.1 steals per game average was tied for 10th. He owns a 39.7 3-point field goal percentage to rank seventh in the league while his league only mark of 40 percent was fourth. He hit 2.4 3-pointers per game and 2.7 trifectas per league contest to rank second in both. He paced the team with 19 points and added three assists and two steals in the win over Ball State. Scott poured in 25 points and pulled down a career-best nine rebounds in leading the Sycamores to a home victory over Illinois State.

He then scored a career-best 30 points as he knocked down six 3-pointers in the Sycamores’ come from behind victory over Northern Iowa. Scott led the team with 24 points, hitting four first half 3-pointers at Wichita State. He recorded 24 points in the win over Evansville, 17 of which came during the first half as he hit six 3-pointers including one of the opening possession as the Sycamores ran the “Picket Fence” which was featured nationally on Yahoo! Sports and ESPN. Scott’s 73 3-pointers made this season ranks third-best in the history of the program while his 184 attempts is fourth. Just a sophomore, Scott is already attacking the ISU career charts as his 132 made threes over his first two seasons ranks seventh-best over the course of Sycamore Basketball history. Brown and Scott are joined on the AllMVC Second Team by DeVaughn Akoon-Purcell (Illinois State), Montel James (Loyola) and Wes Washpun (Northern Iowa). On the All-MVC First Team are Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet (Wichita State), D.J. Balentine and Egidijus Mockevicius (Evansville) as well as

Sex video lands Minnesota football players in hot water Amelia Rayno David Chanen

Star Tribune (Minneapolis) (TNS)

A video of a sex act appeared on the social media sites of University of Minnesota freshman guard Kevin Dorsey on Friday night, sources told the Star Tribune and the Associated Press. Dorsey was one of three players, along with fellow guards Nate Mason (sophomore) and Dupree McBrayer (freshman), who were held out of Sunday night’s game against Illinois for “violating team rules,” a university statement said. The video has since been deleted, as has Dorsey’s Twitter account. Minneapolis police told the Star Tribune they are not involved in a criminal investigation, and the AP’s unnamed source said the three players are not under investigation. University spokesmen declined to make President Eric Kaler and interim athletic director Beth Goetz available to address the situation Monday, but senior associate athletic director Chris Werle acknowledged that investigative action was being taken. “We’ve seen some of the things on social media and we’re looking into it,” he said, adding that he wasn’t aware of any related reports or complaints to the school.

After announcing the three players were out Sunday less than an hour before tip-off, coach Richard Pitino did not elaborate about the reasons after the 84-71 loss. A university statement on Monday said that “private” information was protected and that it could not share additional information about the discipline of the individual studentathletes “at this time.” Chatter about the video exploded on gopherhole.com, a longtime university sports fan website, two days earlier. Several users who claimed to have seen the video offered many details, said Nadine Babu, co-owner of the website. Babu said she had not seen the video, but she did see two screengrabs. Darren Wolfson, a sports reporter for KSTP-TV who frequently covers the university, also tweeted that he saw the video and recognized Dorsey. He wrote that he “saw the video and can clearly identify one of the guys.” One longtime Gophers fan told the Star Tribune he also clearly recognized Dorsey’s face in a video. The person, who requested to remain anonymous, said he watches every Gophers game and has seen Dorsey up close at AAU events as well. The discipline of the three players on Sunday is the lat-

est in a string of player-related troubles since Pitino took the helm in April 2013. Last season, transfer Zach Lofton was dismissed for “failing to meet the expectations and obligations of the team. Less than a month later, sophomore Daquein McNeil was arrested for allegedly committing two counts of felony assault against his girlfriend. Earlier in February, senior guard Carlos Morris was dismissed for “conduct detrimental to the team.” Dorsey was also suspended for one exhibition game in November for “failing to meet his academic obligations as a student-athlete.” Heading into Sunday the Gophers looked to be turning a corner. They had won back-to-back games, including an upset over No. 6 Maryland at home, a victory that ended the Gophers’ historically bad 14-game losing streak. Mason — the team’s leading scorer and assist man — along with McBrayer and Dorsey played a major role in the mini turnaround and are a big factor in the perception of a better future ahead.

a coaching staff we do not take lightly and that we stress daily to our student athletes. In this instance, these student-athletes failed to meet the standards we have set.” The Gophers have two games left in the regular season before traveling to the Big Ten tournament in Indianapolis next week. Minnesota plays Wisconsin on Wednesday before wrapping up the schedule at Rutgers on Saturday. Mason leads the team with 13.8 points and 4.5 assists per game while the three combined for 26.5 points, 7.4 rebounds and 8.4 assists a game. The trio also represents the only true guards with scholarships on the roster. “Coach Pitino and I have had extensive discussions during the last several days, and I support his decision to suspend three student athletes for the remainder of the season,” interim athletic director Beth Goetz added in the statement. “The privilege of representing the University of Minnesota comes with great responsibility and we hold all of our studentathletes accountable.”

Star Tribune (Minneapolis) (TNS)

University of Minnesota basketball guards Kevin Dorsey, Nate Mason and Dupree McBrayer will be suspended for the remainder of the season, the team announced on Tuesday. The three were benched on Sunday for the Gophers’ 84-71 loss at Illinois. Two days earlier, a sex video appeared on the social media accounts of Dorsey. The university has not yet confirmed whether the video is related to the suspensions. Neither Mason nor McBrayer were identified in the videos, which were removed shortly after the posting. “After careful and continued consideration, I am suspending Kevin Dorsey, Nate Mason and Dupree McBrayer for the duration of the season,” coach Richard Pitino said in a statement. “I believe this is the best thing for the basketball program as we strive to build a strong and respectful culture each and every day. “We do our best to continue to consistently teach, educate and serve all of our student-athletes. It’s a privilege to be a member of the University of Minnesota basketball program — something as

Health and Human Services building to be renovated Tyler Davis Reporter

The College of Health and Human Services (CHHS) facility, located on North Seventh Street next to University Hall, is set to receive a $64 million renovation/expansion pending final approval.

Advancements aim to combine all buildings that provide educational studies for health students, in order to bring the functions together under one roof. As stated in the operational/capital budget executive summary, “The CNHHS Building is inadequate for the type of

innovative programming needed by the College to meet the state’s wellness needs. Many of the mechanical, electrical, and lighting systems that exist in the building are original and have been extended well past normal expected life cycles.” In order to adequately

address the need to house programs in a facility that better supports higher learning, Indiana State has once again enlisted the help of “RATIO Architects,” who also accepted a bid to carry out the Cromwell Hall renovations, beginning in May. RATIO will “provide architectural and

engineering services for the project.” The CNHHS Building currently totals almost 300,000 square feet, however “the first phase of the expansion/renovation project would add 87,000 gross square feet to the existing facility to house classrooms, laboratories,

seminar rooms, office and service space to accommodate new academic programs in the College,” according to Senior Vice President of Finance and Administration Diann McKee. The additional square footage would also include

How to get over the Career Center event helps students mid-semester slump find scholarships, internships Mustafa Mustafa Reporter

Almost everyone has heard of the sophomore slump, the deadly disease that hits your grades like a wrecking ball, but what about its lesser known sibling, the mid-semester slump? Does it not deserve attention as well? They might both share the same last name and they might both be horrendous but one of the good things about the mid-semester slump is that unlike its older and more popular sibling, it does not usually last too long. Here are a few ways to help you decrease that time or avoid the slump in its entirety. 1. Do not procrastinate: One of the big reasons grades drop right around the middle of the semester is because students finally realize that their organizational system is not working as efficiently as they would have wanted it to. Class projects that are not due for a few months are ignored, homework assignments due in a couple of weeks are procrastinated and one by one these thing accumulate. Eventually they start to build up, with deadlines quickly approaching at the middle of the semester that is when the old friend slump comes into play. 2. Treat yourself: Breaks are usually given in the middle of the semester, a few weeks before that students start feeling tired and worn out. At that point everyone

has a right to treat themselves to a nice day out, but what happens when that day coincides with that 10page research paper that is worth half the grade for the class? You either take care of yourself and flunk the paper or ace the paper at the cost of your soul. An easier solution would be to schedule a day every week, or if that is too much, then only few hours where it is only you and yourself. 3. Get Involved: Sometimes the slump does not come because you don’t have enough time to do everything; sometimes it is because the motivation to succeed you had at the beginning of the semester is gone. That project is worth 30 percent of your grade? That’s not that much — there’s still 70 percent left. That’s what comes from a lack of motivation, this lack might not have even stemmed from a drop in grades. A great way to beat it would be to leave the four walls that go by the name of home and venture into the world. You could make friends, go places and be alone doing things you enjoy. There is an activity out there for everyone, just find the one that fits. The mid-semester slump is real, it hits everyone in one way or the other. It might not happen every semester but it will happen at some semester. Following these steps will help, and with a beast like this, every little bit of help counts.

The Indiana State University Career Center hosted a scholarship information session on Monday evening in the Career Center classroom for students seeking internships. Students walking in to the Career Center around 5 p.m. were greeted at the front desk by Jack Kendall, a graduate student who is a part of Focus Indiana Internship Scholarship program. He told students that attendance would be taken inside, knowing ahead of time that an Allied Health Science class had to attend for credit. Jack Kendall explained the reasons how being part of the scholarship application process can be beneficial. The Career Center can conduct a mock interview for any student, then give said student feedback and tips for how to improve their interview skills. Students took notes and were provided literature at the end of the event, stating the requirements of the programs and the certifications. The three scholarship opportunities discussed at the event were Focus Indiana, Out of State and the Rex Breeden Internship Scholarship Program. Rex Breeden, a class of 1942 graduate of ISU, served as a member of the ISU Board of Trustees from 1973 to 1992. One year before he left the board, Breeden established a scholarship to rec-

ognize the changing educational environment. At first, this scholarship was only given to students graduating from Columbus East, Columbus North, and Springs Valley High School, but later on in 2010, the criteria were revised to include students in the College of Arts and Sciences. “Mr. Breeden passed away last year yet anybody wanting this scholarship will complete a thank you letter to the surviving family,” Jack Kendall added along with further requirements, “businesses will hire based on the stamp of approval from Indiana State (University) based on the Sycamore Career Ready Certificate.”

Applicants must submit their resume to Sycamore Career Link along with both a cover letter and the resume critiqued for professionalism by the Career Center. The student must also complete 200 hours of practical experience, such as the things accomplished at the internship. Jack Kendall talked about the resources at an ISU student’s disposal. He gave the attendees of the information session a demonstration of how to use Career Shift, a website that provides research tools for job hunting. Kendall also praised MyPlan.com for its helpful tools for placing people into satisfying careers.

The website offers personality, interest and skills assessments for accurate placement. Kendall emphasized that the scholarship was open to everyone, saying that about 80 percent of applicants receive the scholarship. He told the session audience that internships are good experience and that it is never a bad thing to show your face to a company. “Internship is a foot in the water to test the temperature of the career field you want to go into,” Kendall said. “Having an internship early in your collegiate career can help you choose the right major for your preferences.”

Women’s History Month Colloquium Rileigh Roberson Reporter

In order to show students how the equality of men and women has evolved in the legal system, Linda Maule, Associate Professor in Political Science and Women’s Studies, spoke at the Women’s History Month Colloquium in the Library Events Area on Monday, Feb. 29. The Women’s History Month Colloquium is a weeklong event that explores the strides women have made throughout history in order to gain equal rights and privileges among men. The programs

provided throughout the week include individual seminars, panels and films. Events will be located in the library until March 3. Maule’s seminar unpacked not only some of the obstacles that kept women out of the judicial system, but also some examples of women who pushed through boundaries that were thought to be impenetrable. Her favorite character she found while looking at the history of women judges in the appellate courts was Florence Ellinwood Allen. Maule was fascinated by her due to the fact that she became

the first female appellate court judge to be elected in the highest court in the state in 1922. Her fascination was fueled because women were typically not permitted to attend law school until around 50 years later. Although the legal system, including the courts, are required to remain objective, Dr. Maule argued that it is still important to have female representation on appellate court panels. Having a diverse panel on an appellate court allows cases to be heard that may not have been heard in the past for various reasons. “It is hard to compare

myself to Judge Florence Ellinwood Allen,” Maule said, adding that she hopes her “role as dean serves as a reminder to female students that they can aspire to any and all leadership positions.” “I schedule my class sessions for the colloquium and I try to find a guest speaker who will address topics and themes that we cover,” gender studies professor Ruth Fairbanks said. Fairbanks is involved in the colloquium events each year, and this year her gender studies class sponsored the event by creating artwork that deals with womens’ history and

rights. She hopes that her students “caught some of Dr. Maule’s excitement over (women in the judicial system), and over the study of women in the past in general.” Freshman Communication student Caitlin Spier attended Dr. Maule’s session and plans to attend more sessions, including the films that will be shown. “If I were denied from an opportunity because of my gender, I wouldn’t know how to react,” Spier said. “The possibility of that seem so distant yet it happens every day in our country.”

Other events this week include the film “Standing on my Sister’s Shoulders,” which discusses women’s involvement in the civil rights movement and many other speakers who address other social issues involving gender inequality. “The more diversity on these bodies the more likely just outcomes will result,” Maule said. “We all have insights and blinders as a result of our multiple identities, and we serve the public good better when we work collaboratively with others who hold different insights and have a different set of blinders.”

Managing midterm stress

Kirstyn Quandt Columnist

Midterms are a stressful time for everyone. Not only are your sinuses running amok when the Indiana forecast fluctuates between snowy and sunny every other day, but you’re completing massive midterm study guides while also trying to maintain any semblance of a social life. Then, in the meantime, you’re planning Spring Break with all of your friends and wishing you could do everything and anything other than study business statistics. As an adamant planner with sticky notes galore and my Lilly Pullitzer planner always by my side, my entire to-do list covers the front of my agenda on a weekly basis. Yes, it is slightly overwhelming, but there is nothing better than slashing an item off the list. And if you need a little confidence boost to get the ball rolling, start off the list with an item you’ve already accomplished — sneaky yet brilliant. Coping with academic stress is all about balance. Much like anything else in life, too much of one thing causes burnout and too little of another, especially in school, can lead to forgetfulness and missed assignments. Therefore, if you’re not into jotting reminders down like me, there are other ways to get it all done just in time for the memorable Spring Break you have planned with your friends. So start with a timeline. Spring Break is roughly two weeks out and your midterms and presentations are probably taking place this week and/or

next. Map out when your exams take place and instead of spending all of your time studying one particular subject the day before and moving to the next, organize your materials and when one subject becomes too overwhelming take a break and go to the next. The trick is to make your breaks productive as well. Most times we will feel overwhelmed and guilty for binge-watching Netflix while we should be studying (unless it’s Scandal because that is always acceptable); however, try and utilize your breaks to get every other, non-academic segment of your life together. Whether you decide to clean your room, do some laundry, exercise or go grocery shopping, the more you spend your “break” time being productive, the better you will feel at the end of the day. Now that is not to say that naps are not allowed because this week has enough stress to make us want nothing more than our pillow and a big candy bar. So take your naps and enjoy them but don’t sleep the day away. Furthermore, be active in your study habits. If your method is notecards, be diligent in learning them and try different approaches. It’s obvious that you learn as you write so write them down first, type them to learn the points further, and then keep reviewing until the material sticks. And always remember that in the end, your professors are the ones grading the exams, which is a feat in itself. So while you may develop some anger, remember they don’t have it quite so easy either. So study hard, gets lot of sleep and eat your breakfast — preferably not PopTarts: your answers won’t have substance if your breakfast doesn’t.

Television decision Are you in charge of your choices?

Casey Ewart Columnist

After their first year in college, everyone should have heard of MBTI. If you have not, it is a personality test that stands for Myers-Briggs Type Indicator. According to the MBTI, you can either be an extrovert or introvert, a sensor or intuitive, a thinker or feeler and judger or perceiver. Extrovert or introvert is how social a person is. Intuitive or sensor is how you would view the world. Judger or perceiver is the type of lifestyle structure you have. Thinker or feeler is what you choose to base your decisions off of, according to Myers-Briggs.

There should be a third option to what you base your decisions off of. People watch television a lot. Nielsen’s most recent “Total Audience Report” indicates that “Americans aged 18-24 watched a weekly average of 15 and one-half hours of traditional TV during Q3 2015.” That being said, people tend to base their decisions off movies they watch. We have grown up in a time where Bonnie Mckee sings “I was raised by a television,” in her song, “American Girl.” Television is what we all have learned from in some form or another. For example, romance movies or what some people might call chick-flicks, basically tell women what a relationship should look like. They give you a fake perfect relationship that all women look up to and in their minds say “that’s what I want.” It tells the guys to give gestures such as climbing

up the fire escape with roses from “Pretty Woman,” or from watching “The Bachelor” and “The Bachelorette” one can find many pick-up lines or date ideas. Recreating a scene from your girlfriend’s favorite movie would be unforgettable. Movies and shows do not just help with deciding on what type of date you should have Friday night or to come up with gestures or pick-up lines. They also help deciding what type of career you want. They make every moment in life look so easy on the screen. You find people like Patrick Dempsey or “McDreamy” and decide you want to become a surgeon because you could be just like him. A lot of television shows are crime shows. That being said a lot of people are being introduced to the criminal justice field through television. One should keep in mind that careers are not

as smooth and easy as they appear on television. Most people just let the televisions make decisions for them, no matter what the decision is. If a movie or show broadcasts “Do not try this at home,” more than likely someone out in the world will decide that they should try it. Hint: if the television says do not try it, you should probably listen. Some people can watch television and not base their decisions off it. They may choose to be unique and be that one person who decides for themselves. Not all people follow the crowd and make decisions based off movies but there are a few. Some people base their decisions off facts. Others just use their gut instinct. Feeling, thinking and television should be the three options that a person would base their decisions off of. What do you base your decisions off of?

Teachers are standing up for their beliefs Mason Moton Columnist

Everyone muffles their feelings and opinions In order to “fit in,” “not to shake the boat,” and “keep their jobs.” But the question about honesty arises when you think about the millions of professionals who feel a sincere need to make a statement, but don’t. For example: in 1995, at Harvard University, 27 year old Barack Obama gave a speech on behalf of the African-American professor of law Derrick Bell,

who was resigning with intent to show how he disapproved of the university’s hiring bias in not having equality among its tenured professors, as well as to live in accordance to his belief in doing something intended to make a difference. This example is especially vivid, because in order for professor Bell to stand up for what he believed in, he had to make the sacrifice of one of the highest paying teaching positions in the country. His sacrifice showed impact, as it was covered by national news media, and Harvard University presses have released information that states its current faculty is comprised of 26 percent women and 17 percent minorities. What this professor did mimics the actions of many famous

humanitarians before him who saw a cause that they felt emotional about and did whatever they could do to be a part of the solution and not the problem. Professor Bell considered the risks of his decision, and saw that the benefits outweighed the losses, moreover, he placed the lives and futures of others before his own. What was it that stopped the Harvard administration from reasoning with Mr. Bell? I am sure they tried to persuade him to stay, but why couldn’t they make a compromise? Surely he didn’t want to be unemployed that badly? Situations like these reflect the definition of hard-heartedness. But, 20 years later, after the death of Mr. Bell, a change has been made, but it could have been made

sooner. Across the country in Wheaton, Illinois, a political science professor, Mrs. Larycia Hawkins, was recently suspended for standing up for her beliefs. In an attempt to draw closer to her Muslim neighbors and make a connection with the faith that can sometimes be viewed as opposed to Christianity, Larycia Hawkins wore what is called a hijab at her Christian university campus, and made comments on her social media webpage that attempted to draw links between the two faiths that were supported by Pope Francis. Her quote that was opposed by Wheaton College was “I stand in religious solidarity with Muslims because they, like me, a Christian, are people of the book.”

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.

Wheaton College replied by stating: “While Islam and Christianity are both monotheistic, we believe there are fundamental differences between the two faiths, including what they teach about God’s revelation to humanity, the nature of God, the path to salvation and the life of prayer.” Here again, we have a professor standing for a humanitarian cause, and a university being negligent of that cause. By not recognizing professor Hawkins’ intentions and giving her a semester-long suspension, students at Wheaton College protested for her reinstatement and for the university to apologize for the way they treated her. In a press conference in downtown Chicago, following the suspension,

over two dozen Christian clergy members joined professor Hawkins in her acceptance of the suspension and showed their support for what she was trying to do — bring people together. Humanitarians are often met with opposition for their good intentions: whether it be that they are trying to create opportunity for underrepresented groups or trying to work toward cultural understanding. For every good cause there is a negative effect, but in the words of Martin Luther King, and in remembrance of his sacrifice for social justice, equality and peace: “Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.”

Student managers important to Sycamore success Adler Ingalsbe

Assistant Sports Editor

Sitting behind the Sycamore bench in their blue and white collared shirts, the Indiana State men’s basketball student managers have the best seat in the house. Unlike the fans in the stands, Zach Pullum, Thomas Herber, Elliott Touloukian, Ben Huff and Brandon Roberson are at work. Prior to the Sycamore faithful arriving to the Hulman Center, the group of managers had already checked off several boxes on their daily to-do list. Huff, in his third year as a student manager for the team, said after the five of them get to the arena one and one-half hours prior to the team’s shootaround, they have numerous duties before the players arrive. “(Once we get to the Hulman Center, we) pass out gear, dust mop the court, bring balls out, set the clock, change and wait for the players to come out,” he said. Pullum, in his fourth and final year as a student manager, said once shootaround is completed, they all have a meal before getting things ready to go for the start of warmups and tipoff. “After walk through we have pregame meal and after that is over we get stuff passed out in the locker room and the jerseys set out and get our stuff ready for the game,” Pullum said. “After we get (that) stuff done we wait until the first player shows up and is ready to go to the floor.” When the warmups conclude, the national anthem is performed and the starting lineups are announced, the five of them take their seats behind the bench and get ready for the game. Each has their own role on the team and specific duties assigned to them. Pullum, the senior member of the group, keeps the statistics for the coaching staff and is the one that gives head coach Greg Lansing the whiteboard to draw up plays on during timeouts. Huff said his responsibilities depend on whether or not the game is nationally televised. If they are, he and anoth-

er manager film the game. If they aren’t, he gives out water and towels to the players and places stools around in a circle for Lansing and the players to sit on during timeouts. Unlike Huff, who only films the games when they are televised, Roberson is the man behind the camera for every game, with the footage he gets being used for the players and coaches to analyze their play and fix mistakes that may have been made. Touloukian’s obligations as a student manager are keeping the shot charts for both Indiana State and the opposing team, bringing the stools out for timeouts and assisting the athletic trainers with hydrating the players. Another role Touloukian plays for the team is getting into the locker room before halftime to get the player’s warmups placed in front of their lockers, as well as making a batch of Gatorade and pouring them into cups. Unlike the Duke University student managers, who sprint across the court to

beat Mike Krzyzewski and the players to the locker room at the half, Pullum sends Touloukian in with about two minutes remaining on the game clock, giving him enough time to get everything prepared for the team. Following the game, the m a n a g e r ’s jobs aren’t finished. Pullum said the five of them have more work to do before they can head home for the night. “After the game, we wait until all of the players have left so that we can make sure the locker room is picked up, then we leave and take the laundry over to our equipment room and either wash it that night or get it ready for our equipment manager to wash the next day,” he said. The managers are also present at each of the team’s practices, where they get

things ready before practice and clean up afterwards. “Getting ready for practice, (we) pass out gear for the players, get the floor ready, change in our practice apparel and rebound for players,” Roberson said. “Cleaning up (after practice, we) pick up the court, make sure we have all of our equipment and sort laundry at the end of the day.” One or two will always travel with the team but with a few of them staying in Terre Haute, the workload can be even heavier. “When we are on the road, we wake up, have breakfast and then we normally go to walk through at the (venue) we play at (that day),” Pullam said. “After walk through we come back to the hotel, collect the gear

that the players wore and wait at the hotel until we have pregame meal. After pregame meal we normally have between two hours to hour and a half to have the stuff on the bus before we go to the game.” “At the game, we do our normal routine. Sometimes we do different things, depending on how many managers we have on the trip. On road trips we handle the food for each game by going out to the bus (two hours) after the game, get it sorted out and make sure that everything is there. After the game we collect everything that the players wore and get the locker room cleaned up before we leave to head back. On the bus we make sure that the players have everything that they need and help out with anything that needs to be done on the ride home.” While most of the hard work the student managers put in on a daily basis is behind the scenes, it doesn’t go unnoticed by the players. Junior forward Kalen Alexander said the five student managers are a big

part of the team and all of the work that they do for the men’s basketball team is appreciated. “They’re really a part of the team,” Alexander said. “They put in a lot of work, from staying late and doing laundry (to) packing and unpacking all of the gear. They ensure that we, as players, are taken care of and we greatly appreciate them.” Putting in all of the work as volunteers while also being full-time students can be extremely difficult, but Huff said it is all worth it because he loves the job and the people he gets to spend time with on a daily basis. “Yes it is hard work, all volunteer experience, stressing, time consuming, little to no social life, but I love this job because I have developed relationships with coaches and players that can help me in the future for jobs,” Huff added. “Interacting with these guys makes my day even better. Yeah, we joke around a lot but that is what being a family is about.”

tions. Clemons made an immediate impact this season with the Sycamores and was named to the Missouri Valley Conference All-Newcomer Team. He became the first Sycamore since 2001 (Matt Renn) to record at least 15 rebounds in a game when he pulled down a careerhigh 16 at Southern Illinois. Clemons finished the

season ranked fifth in the MVC with a 6.3 rebounds per game average and his 6.9 average in conference games was fourth. He dished out 3.0 assists per game to rank 11th in the conference while his 2.8 mark in conference games was tied for eighth. Clemons pulled down 4.8 defensive rebounds per game to rank fourth

in the conference and his 5.1 defensive rebounds per league game was fourth. His 1.1 steals per game ranked ninth-best while his 1.9 offensive rebounds per league game average was sixth in the MVC. He pulled down 11 rebounds in the 67-66 win over Hofstra at the Paradise Jam. Clemons hauled in 12 rebounds and scored

seven points with five assists and three steals in the home court victory over Illinois-Springfield. He tallied 13 rebounds to go with five assists in the win over Illinois State. Clemons scored nine points and led the team with seven rebounds in the home win over Evansville. He recorded his first career double figure scoring

effort by posting 13 points at Loyola and then tallied a season-best 14 points at Illinois State and added nine rebounds. Joining Clemons on the All-MVC Newcomer Team were Dequon Miller (Missouri State), Anton Grady and Markis McDuffie (Wichita State) as well as Mike Rodriguez (Southern Illinois).
