The Indiana Statesman is published Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, except during exam periods and university breaks, and is published three times during the summer. The Indiana Statesman was founded May 16, 1929, the same year that Indiana State Normal School became Indiana State Teachers College. The newspaper began in December 1879 as the State Normal News. In November 1895, the paper was first issued as the Normal Advance.

Members of the ISU community are welcome to take a single copy of each issue of this newspaper. The unauthorized taking of multiple copies, however, may constitute theft, which is a crime, even with free publications. Thefts will be reported to campus police for possible prosecution and/or for other disciplinary actions.

The Indiana Statesman exists for four main reasons: to provide the ISU community with news and information, to serve the campus as a public forum for student and reader comments, to offer student staff members chances to apply their skills in different aspects of a news publication, and to give students leadership opportunities.

ISU: RAVE alert system effective Students: System lacks timeliness Chris Sweeney

!

News editor Two Indiana State University students were confronted at gunpoint late Wednesday night just off campus, but ISU officials did not issue a campus-wide RAVE Alert until almost ten hours after the incident occurred.

The victims told police they were crossing the Long John Silver’s parking lot near the intersection of Fourth and Ohio streets about 11 p.m. when a “white female with shoulder length blonde hair pointed a gun at them and demanded the drinks they were carrying,” according to the RAVE Alert.

The suspect was sitting in an “older model silver colored vehicle” and was accompanied by another female the students could not describe, according to the alert. The students were able to flee the scene without injury. ISU and Terre Haute Police are seeking further information about the incident and the alert did not indicate the suspects had been apprehended.

Despite the students reporting the crime an hour after it occurred to ISU Police, authorities waited until Thursday morning to notify the campus community. A RAVE Alert was sent via text message and e-mail at 9:15 a.m., describing the incident as an “attempted robbery” and directing people to Public Safety’s website for more details.

Public Safety director Bill Mercier said he believed it was unnecessary to activate the RAVE Alert system so late at night.

“It wasn’t that significant and didn’t pose an immediate threat,” Mercier said. “I thought it

could wait for the morning.”

According to the Indiana State University Police Department’s annual security and fire report from 2011, the Department of Public Safety shall make “timely warnings” under the heading “crime alerts” when the Chief of Police or his/her designee affirms that the offense presents a threat to the university community.

The purpose of the alert is to provide information in a timely manner to aid in preventing similiar events, the report also states; but students disagree with the time lapse in which the alert was issued.

“I feel like we should have been alerted beforehand,” said freshman business major Austin Robbins. “There are still a lot of people out at that time of night, and where it happened wasn’t far from campus.”

Freshman elementary education major Ashley Buchannan also agrees, saying “It was kind of pointless sending us an e-mail this morning.I would want to know after it happened, not almost 12 hours after it happened.”

Diann McKee, the vice president for Business Affairs would not comment on the issue because she was unaware of the specifics of the incident, but did say work may have to take place before the alerts are issued.

“Sometimes public safety needs to conduct background work or investigations before the alert can be issued,” she said. “Again, I’m not sure about this case because I don’t know all the details.”

“I feel like we should have been alerted beforehand. There are still a lot of people out at that time of night, and where it happened wasn’t far from campus.”

Statesman editorial College Board and Act Inc. reform security admists scandal: Society’s standards pressures students to cheat.

A cheating scandal on Long Island, New York, is forcing the College Board and ACT Inc. to re-evaluate and tighten their security during SAT and ACT testing.

Last fall, 20 students were busted after participating in a scam in which teens hired stand-ins for as much as $3,500 each. The imposters showed up with fake IDs to the testing sites and took the exams for their paying customers.

Although, students already show identification before the exams, new stipulations would require them to submit heads shots of themselves in advance with a test application. The head shots will then be printed on their admission tickets and the test site rosters.

In addition, scores and attached photos will be sent to the test takers’ high schools so guidance counselors and administrators can check the identities.

Nassau County District Attorney Kathleen Rice, who is heading an investigation against the Long Island scammers, feels that security changes will put academically honest students at ease.

“Millions of college-bound students who take the SAT and ACT each year can have a new confidence that their hard work and preparation will be rewarded and not diminished by cheaters,” she said.

But aren’t Rice, the College Board and ACT Inc. overlooking the real problem, here? The students who paid the stand-ins were willing to shell out thousands of dollars. Even if those students are made of money, it looks like an act of desperation.

High schoolers often view the SATs and ACTs as the make-or-break factors of their college careers. The higher the scores, the better the chances of receiving scholarships, acceptance into prestigious programs and, most importantly, respect. In turn, there’s immense pressure to perform well. It’s no wonder that cheaters exist when society gives them incentive to. Would someone fork over nearly $4,000 just to pull one over on the system? Or would someone rather pay that much and go to extreme lengths for the ultimate prize—intelligence?

As long as society continues to weigh and measure a student’s worth based on his ability to write a grade-school essay or solve a math problem, cheaters will run rampant. And while increased security may temporally fix the issue, it won’t silence the resounding question on every student’s mind: does a test really define my value to a university?

“It’s no wonder that cheaters exist when society gives them incentive to.”

Cuts during off season show the ugly side of the sporting industry

Town calls on fashion police to impose pants ban

Do you know what football is teaching us right now?: Business isn’t personal, loyalty is over-rated and the familial bond of a team is non-existent in the face of failure and contract re-negotiations.

Players are really just property to be thrown away or traded up. Franchise owners experiencing a bad season are Tiffany more comparable to a tsunami Freeman during spring-cleaning, than a composer trying to reach Public the rhythmic balance of an Domain orchestra. And even the players themselves see players as chess pieces to be violently dominated and check-mated off the field of play.

Football is the American sport. It’s part of our legacy—our history of what can be accomplished with hard work, team work and the strong moral heart of a good ol’ American.

But we take advantage of what it means to be American, of what it means to be a family. We sometimes forget all that our country has done in its short history to overcome adversity, and we take advantage of how much privilege we have compared to other countries. We are one of the greatest nations on earth, and what do we do? We turn on ourselves, on our families, on our teams.

Sports news has not shown our finest hours as of late. On March 7, Jim Irsay, owner of the Indianapolis Colts, finally decided to let go of MVP NFL quarterback Peyton Manning, in the hopes of securing the next-big-thing, First-Round-Draft-pick Andrew Luck on April 26. Not only did we lose Manning, the center of the Colts game, but Irsay cleaned house of most of the names we Hoosiers have gotten used to rooting for on Sundays: Gary Brackett, Melvin Bullitt, Dallas Clark, Joseph Addai, Jeff Saturday, Pierre Garcon, and Jacob Tamme, not to mention the Polians and Coach Jim Caldwell, and for what? To cut costs.

Irsay made the Colts unrecognizable to cut costs! Tsunami Irsay, force of nature that we’ve seen since the close of the season, has brushed aside silly things like loyalty to the man who helped build a SuperBowl winning team, or the bonds of a family-like team that brought

Hear ye, hear ye, beltless hooligans: Merrillville, Ind., wants you to pull up your trousers.

Officials in the northwestern town have realized that the city’s biggest threat is crimes of fashion. According to Merrillvillle Councilman Don Spann, many residents have taken offense to low-riding pants and believe clothing rules are necessary.

The town is mulling over an ordinance that would ban those pants and impose possible fines those who wear their bottoms more than Brianne for three inches below the hip in public places.

Hofmann Council President Shawn Pettit agrees with Lake County residents, but thinks the ban Write and the should only apply at parks and other townowned property.

Wrong It could be said that all violators are on notice—Crocs-trotting, bra strap-showing and tube top-wearing perpetrators aren’t safe either.

And for that matter, if you’re still sporting the Ugg boots and tight leggings look, you might as well lock yourself in. That offense is especially punishable.

It would be annoying to walk down the street and be bombarded with flashes of people’s underwear, but if we’re going to ban a stupid trend, we should ban everything else that bothers us too: crying babies, people who talk during movies, Taylor Swift, alarm clocks, drivers who focus more on their cell phones than the road, pigeons, group work or glitter.

Merrillville citizens should consider themselves lucky actually.

Because there are people who don’t always like to wear underwear too. It isn’t like everyone’s getting a free peep show. The underwear exposure isn’t physically harming anyone.

It isn’t up to a city of old fogeys and strict parents to decide what everyone wears. What is that going to lead to?—A “Footloose” scenario where you have youngsters escaping to abandoned warehouses out in the countryside to dance out their feelings and wear baggy pants to their hearts’ content.

With outcries lately over neighborhood watch programs, education reform and taxes, residents might consider focusing their efforts on problems that matter instead of treating their town like an uptight high school.

the Colts members to work as one unit. Those things are personal, human, and football is just business, right?

What has happened to the American pasttime? What has happened to playing the game for the sake of having a good time and making the fans roar? Just like everything else today, football seems to have become all about business; all about the money.

Speaking of games being all about the money, Boy have the New Orleans Saints shamed the NFL with their atrocious bounty program.

According to recent ABC news coverage, under consent and acknowledgement from Coach Sean Payton, the Saints’ players participated in a bounty program with a goal of “knocking out” opposing teams’ players during games.

The going rate for a “knock out,” where a player was injured to the point of being out for the remainder of the game, was $1500 paid to the injuring party. And another $1,000 if the injured player had to be carted off the field. Saints were consciously making the decision to go above and beyond to cause harm to other players, and accepting payments in the process. That is sick.

Football is dangerous enough without aiming for career-ending hits.

Not only have the Saints brought shame to their team and disgusted their fan base, but now, every injury will be questioned from hence forth.

Football should be the way it used to be when a group of guys got on the field just to play a little ball and get their competitive juices flowing.

It shouldn’t be about who can make the most millions, or who can cause the most personal injury, or who can decimate a roster with a flick of a pen. Football should be about Americans coming together to appreciate a tradition that has been built; appreciating a group of guys who lay their lives on the line with each game, and work as a team, as a family, to triumph over the opposing team, while still being able to line up and shake hands when the score is tallied.

The game should be more like youth football where everyone may not win a trophy, but everyone comes out of the game not at odds but with a sense of accomplishment and belonging and pride as their fans cheer from the stands, win or lose.

Football is about the heart of Americans, not the greed of businessmen, and we need to remember that.

“It could be said that all violators are on notice— Crocs-trotting, bra strap-showing and tube top-wearing perpetrators aren’t safe either.”

Jessica Neff Reporter

Members of Alpha Sigma Alpha (ASA) sorority got pied to raise money to design the new apartment-style dormitories that will be built in the pay lot between Lincoln Quadrangles and Hulman Memorial Student Union.

On Wednesday, Greek life community members supported ASA members in their fundraising event by paying three dollars to pie any member of the sorority or four dollars to pie a specific member at Wolf Field.

“This is an annual event, and it is our fourth year doing it this year,” said freshman biology major and ASA member Emily Dransfield. “The money will be going into our housing fund for the interior design of the townhouses that [Residential Life] will be building.”

At least 100 people pre-paid for tickets with hopes to raise $600 through the event, Dransfield said.

Misty Bonk, sophomore family and consumer science major, participated in

the event.

“I do it mostly for my sorority because I hold ASA to the highest,” she said as she was pied for a second time. “We tried to put the word out this year, and the warmer weather helps out, as well.”

Brooke Wardle, junior communication major and Student Government Association vice presidential candidate, was pied three times during her time supporting her sorority.

“I have participated every year and have been pied every year,” said senior elementary and special education major Kyleigh Brown. “It’s a fun activity, it raises money and it brings people together in the [Indiana State University] community.”

Any participants who don’t get pied by a paid individual receives a pie in the face by a fellow sister, Brown said.

“I was going to pie one of the ASAs in the face, and I got blind-sided,” said sophomore sport management major and Kappa Alpha Order member Matt Rayner as he was pied in the face. “I bought a ticket from a member and wanted to support the ladies of ASA.”

African Global Night teaches culture to students Day’Jonnae Riggins Reporter

Students, faculty, and staff experienced African culture through theater in University Hall Auditorium, Saturday evening.

The African Student Union held their second consecutive African Global Night after a four year break.

“The Indiana State University community have not had the opportunity to see what Africa is all about so it is important for them to see what goes on in Africa,” president of the African Student Union Veronica Larbi said.

Participants were expected to see the roots of African culture as well as the constant developmental status of the countries.

“Africa has technology and has developed as western countries have, and there is no difference between them,” Larbi said. “Our culture is unique.”

Sophomore social work major Jahnee Carpenter was impressed by the uniqueness seen through the picture slideshow in the beginning of the show.

“I saw the land, the dress and the culture compared to what is usually portrayed on television,” Carpenter said.

Exploring the rich culture of Africa at global night was a way to enjoy the culture that people don’t usually get a chance to see, Larbi said.

“I think it is important for ISU students to know about African culture [and] all different cultures.

It’s important to be well rounded,” said sophomore recreation management major Whitney Tipton.

Senior insurance major Julie Alig liked the different of showcases that explored the African culture.

“I like the variety of exposure in the African culture and the opportunity to see young people embrace it,” Alig said.

Tickets were five dollars for students and ten dollars for faculty and staff. The proceeds went into venue, advertisement, African artifacts and prizes for students, as well as an African meal provided in the lower level of the African American Cultural Center.

Air force ROTC undergoes changes, sees improvement Jessica Neff Reporter

Lieutenant Colonel Mark Adkins, commander of the Air Force ROTC (AFROTC) program at Indiana State University, has instituted a new mindset for the cadets since coming to ISU in August, and the cadets are adapting well to the changes and improving.

“Our mission is to develop quality leaders in the Air Force,” Adkins said.

“Upon graduation of the program, cadets will become second lieutenants in the Air Force.”

The AFROTC program offers courses to all years at ISU. In the freshman and sophomore years, cadets take the equivalent of Air Force 101, in which cadets learn all about the Air Force, Adkins said. In the junior and senior years, cadets hone their leadership skills.

“The AFROTC program has given me multiple opportunities to expand as a leader, and I have learned so many life skills from this program,” said sophomore communication major and cadet Katy Karmazinas. “I expect to learn a lot more valuable lessons as my time in the Air Force Reserve Officer Training Corps continues and branches into an active duty Air Force career.”

The AFROTC program is a onehour class for two credit hours, as well as physical training (PT) attendance required twice a week.

“Cadets were receiving an average score of 85 on their PT tests upon my arrival on Aug. 1 of this school year,” Adkins said. “Now the average is a 91 with a new emphasis on PT. The mindset has changed.”

“The program has offered me discipline, the opportunity to meet some great people and great leadership skills that will benefit me in the future,” said sophomore language studies major and cadet Eric Foster. “Many of the skills I learn in the program can be used in other areas of my life such as organization, how to make the best use of my resources and how to work with others as a team.”

Upon the beginning of the new school year, approximately 50 freshmen are recruited as ISU cadets, but 50 percent are lost by the end of the year, Adkins said. Retain rates of approximately 90-95

“The biggest area the program needs to focus on is recruitment. The detachment is growing smaller and we could use more cadets,” Foster said.

Adkins encourages students to be in organizations outside of the AFROTC program.

“I am involved with other organizations, although some of my extracurricular activities are in conjunction with the AFROTC at Detachment 218,” Karmazinas said.

Karmazinas stays busy by keeping involved in several organizations

alongside AFROTC, including color/ honor guard, drill team, warrior faith and pushup crew for ISU football.

Foster is also involved in outside organizations, including Lambda Chi Alpha.

“We [AFROTC] are a tight-knit group,” Adkins said. “We tell parents that we are a small family and encourage both the ‘uneasy’ and the ‘understanding’ types of parents to trust us and the program.”

Those interested in joining the AFROTC program or wanting to gain more information can contact the AFROTC Detachment 218 at 812-2372657 or e-mail isu-det218cadre@mail. indstate.edu.

Briefs School of music to present spring choral show today The Indiana State University School of Music will present a spring choral showcase concert at 7:30 p.m. today in the University Hall Theater.

The concert features the Women’s Glee Club, Sycamore Singers and concert choir. The concert choir, under the direction of Scott Buchanan, will perform a diverse program of works that are both sacred and secular in nature. Composers featured include Felix Mendelssohn, Ola Gjeilo, Jeffery Ames, David Childs and Eric Whitacre. The choir will be accompanied

by Curt Pennington.

Jason Fishburn, Anna Buck and Katie Ulrich will serve as soloists, and Katie Richard, Kyle Lutes, Nate Spellman and Jacob Rowe will be featured instrumentalists.

The Women’s Glee Club, under the direction of Colleen Davis and graduate

assistant Kaleb Abbott, will perform works by Handel, Mozart, Schubert, James Gordon and Andre Thomas.

ISU graduate and current professional singer, Sarah Stone, will appear as a guest soloist. Andrea Marlowe serves as the accompanist for the ensemble while Janelle Huber and Jacob Somers will be featured instrumentalists.

The Sycamore Singers will open the concert with music from the late 16th and early 17th centuries. Two distinct genres from that time period will be represented. Works by Thomas Morley, Orlando Gibbons, John Bennett and John Dowland will represent the English madrigal genre. These will be followed by three Latin motets written by Italian composers Andrea Gabrieli, Francesco Soriano and Giacomo Carissimi.

These selections, along with many

others will be performed by 24 members of the Sycamore Singers during an upcoming trip to Florence, Italy. During May 13-21, the group will have four performances in the historic Italian city, Santa Maria De’Ricci Church, Teatro di Cestello Theater and at St. James American Church.

The trip is the culmination of Buchanan’s sabbatical project of early Baroque music by lesser-known Italian composers. The chorus will perform five or six works by those composers, complemented by English madrigals and Americana music.

Admission to the event is free and attendance by campus and community members is encouraged. For more information, contact the School of Music at 812-237-2771 or the Choral Office at 812-237-4590.

The Indiana State university athletic administration reviewed its recruiting policy last year and the effects are being felt presently.

Last August, ISU re-evaluated its recruiting policy in regards to scholarship limits. There is now no limit on the amount of scholarships given out. The Tribune Star reported that Ron Prettyman, Director of Athletics, believed the change would put ISU on the same level as other schools.

Prettyman said that in the past ISU was amongst one of the few universities at the Division I level that restricted their coaches recruiting ability in terms of acquiring the best student-athletes available.

“Many other universities were using that as a negative recruiting tactic against us, by telling prospective student athletes that we could not recruit the best quality student athletes that are available, therefore, if they go to Indiana State, they will not be surrounded with other quality student athletes,” Prettyman said. “This was a difficult hurdle for coaches in years past. While our recruiting efforts and philosophies have not changed, other schools can no longer make the case that we cannot recruit the best quality

student athletes that are available.”

Prettyman said the new policy gives coaches a broader scope; however they will continue to look for NCAA Division I student athletes locally before looking statewide, regionally, nationally, or internationally.

“Coaches are continuously looking for the best prospective student athletes that they can find to participate in our program and to represent Indiana State University” Prettyman said.

Prettyman said the other aspect of this new pol-

“While our recruiting efforts and philosophies have not changed, other schools can no longer make the case that we cannont recruit the best quality student athletes that are available.”

Ron Prettyman, ISU Athletic Director

icy is the budget. Currently, there have not been any major problems with the new policy because coaches are maintaining their same approach to recruiting. Last year’s budget for student-athletes was $3,080,454.28 (actual dollars expended) and this year’s budget is $3,077,539.25 (actual dollars spent as of today, 3-21-12). Prettyman said the budget is approved by the process with a recommended and presented budget request through the Vice President for Administration and Finance, then to the President and ultimately approved by the Board of Trustees.

The majority of the money is received through the University’s annual budget. Prettyman added that there are also fund raisers and philanthropic contributions in coordination with the Indiana State University Foundation.

However, there are student athletes that qualify for federal financial aid and these students receive their federal money first then the scholarship money that is not covered by the government. Prettyman said the budget for student athletes is impacted over the semester as individuals drop classes or leave school for various reasons.

Continued On page 13

www.indianastatesman.com

Continued from Page 12 This causes the budget to waver along with how many are from the State of Indiana, how many are regional and how many are from outside of the region, and several other possibilities.

Angie Lansing, assistant athletic director, said the calculated number of recruits that accepted scholarships in the past year was 80 student-athletes.

Of these students, 43 were out-ofstate, 24 were in state, and 13 were from Kansas, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nebraska, North Dakota, or Wisconsin (not considered in or out).

As for how many students that were actually recruited is unknown.

“We recruit hundreds of studentathletes each year; this is a difficult thing to track” Angie Lansing said.

Even though this gives ISU a more fair advantage, it still has not changed the process dramatically. Choosing the right player is still a struggle; in fact with the limits removed it makes the decision harder.

Erika True, the women’s head soccer coach, said the new policy has impacted her recruiting process.

True said that nothing has changed besides the budget because soccer is an “equivalency sport.” The soccer team was able to give 14 scholarships that were able to be filled and some of the players have partial scholarships. The soccer department stays around this same amount of scholarships every year.

True said she looks for talent first and foremost, but as the recruiting process continues she looks for the personality of the players, high academic students, and “a good fit” for their program. It is important to make recruits feel comfortable when they visit the campus.

When recruits come to campus they spend a lot of time with us coaches, meet people within academics, view facilities, have a chance to really sit and meet with our players and a final wrap up meeting with the head coach, True said. This is usually the time that we find out if the school is the right fit for the recruit and the recruit a right fit for our program, True said.

Recruits don’t get direct contact

until July 1 going into their senior year, True said. The student then has a conversation with the coach over the phone. True said after the senior recruits sign on the first Wednesday of February we are allowed to text.

On September 1 of the recruit’s junior year, we can finally start writing emails and letters to recruits.

True said this process is not the same for every sport. This is largely due to the how big the program is at the University. However, the process student-athletes go through is fairly similar because they are all playing “at the highest level they possibly can play at, showcase themselves at top tiered events, write letters to colleges, make phone calls to coaches and send videos of their play” True said.

Joel McMullen, Assistant Athletic Director for Compliance, said there are a wide variety of restrictions on nearly every aspect of recruiting such as “communications, benefits, evaluations, camps, visits, etc.”

McMullen said.

Briefs Lucas Named Prarie Farm and MVC Scholar-Athlete of the Week For the second time in the last three weeks, junior catcher Jeremy Lucas has been named the Prairie Farms / Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete of the Week as announced by the league office.

Lucas hit .385 (5-for-13) last week, tallying a team-leading seven RBIs and four runs scored. The ISU junior was also named the MVC Player of the Week last week, after leading the team to their 15-1 victory at Missouri on Wednesday with a 2-for-4 effort at the plate with four RBIs and two runs scored as the Sycamores topped the Tigers, 15-1, their first victory over UM since 1995.

In ISU’s weekend series at Evansville, the West Terre Haute, Ind., native and West Vigo High School product drove in both runs and hit a double in ISU’s 2-0 victory on Friday

before scoring a pair of runs on Sunday in another ISU shutout win. ISU picked up the series win at UE, their first road series win since the 1998 season.

Lucas was also named the MVC Player of the Week and Prairie Farms / MVC ScholarAthlete of the Week on March 13, after ISU swept Eastern Illinois and Indiana in midweek action before taking all three games of a weekend series against UT Martin.

For the season, Lucas leads the team with six home runs, 34 RBIs and 40 hits while placing second in batting average (.404, 40-for-99) and runs scored (28). In the classroom, Lucas carries a 3.54 GPA while majoring in Recreation and Sport Management.

ISU Baseball defeat the Ball State Cardinals, 14-3 Derek Johnson Reporter

The Indiana State Sycamores baseball team traveled to Ball State Wednesday afternoon where they took down the Cardinals, 14-3, at Ball Diamond.

Freshman Kyle Rupe (5-0) started on the mound for the Sycamores and earned the victory, allowing two runs on six hits to go along with three strikeouts in six innings pitched.

Freshman Landon Curry led the Sycamores at the plate with two hits and five RBIs, including a grand slam homerun. Junior Robby Ort added three hits.

With the win, the Sycamores improve their record to 21-5 overall, while the Cardinals drop to 4-16 on the season with the loss.

Indiana State jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the second inning to ignite a stretch of runs in five consecutive innings as junior Jeremy Lucas led off the inning with a bunt down the third base line followed by an error that sent Lucas to third and put junior Casey McCurdy on first. Senior Lucas Hileman and sophomore Tyler Wampler brought the runners home, recording back-to-

back RBI singles to put the Sycamores on the board.

Senior Kyle Burnam and Wampler drove in runs in the third, as well as a double-steal that scored McCurdy from third to stretch the Sycamores’ lead out to five.

The Cardinals managed to tack on a run in each the third and fourth innings, but the Sycamores added two runs in the fourth and another in the fifth to take an 8-2 lead heading into the sixth inning.

Indiana State opened the game wide open, scoring six runs in the sixth. With the bases loaded, Curry blasted his first homerun of the season over the right field fence for the first Indiana State grand slam since the 2010 season. The Sycamores added two more in the inning to take a 14-2 advantage into the seventh.

Ball State managed to add another run in the eighth, but it wasn’t enough to slow down what has been a consistent offense from the Sycamores.

The Sycamores will resume conference play this weekend when Illinois State travels to Terre Haute to take on Indiana State in a three-game series beginning on Friday at Sycamore Stadium. Junior Jeremy Lucas at the plate for the Sycamores (Photo courtesy of ISU Communications and Marketing).

First pitch is scheduled for 6:30 p.m. at Bob Warn Field.

Second annual Locks of Love Charity this Saturday Jaylyn Brown Reporter

ISU’s women’s soccer team is hosting a Locks of Love charity event this weekend. This is the second annual Locks of Love tournament for the Sycamores that consist of seven teams playing soccer for the whole day. Kelly Shulman, a junior interior architecture design major, said the whole day is dedicated to the Locks of Love organization.

This organization uses the donated money and hair to create hairpieces for children under the age of 21 that are suffering from a long-term medical hair loss from any diagnosis, Shulman said.

“I’ve been growing my hair out for a year now to hopefully get it cut if it’s long enough” Shulman said.

The organization will receive all of the money donations from the entire day, Shulman said. Hair cutting does not take place until 10 a.m. and is not just open to students, but the community as well. Shulman added that multiple hair stylists will be assisting in the hair cutting of 10” or more for Locks of Love.

The idea of this event was created by head women’s soccer coach, Erika True.

“We wanted to do a big event that would raise money and awareness to a great cause. We started it last year and it

was a great success” True said.

This event has a lot of expectation because last year there was a lot of involvement from the community and youth organizations, True said.

“Last year there were many players and some coaches from all of the teams, including ISU’s team, that donated their hair and others throughout Terre Haute” Shulman said.

This event is co-sponsored by the Union Board in which they will be volunteering, donating, and advertising, Shulman said. The tournament will take place at Memorial Stadium at 8 a.m. promptly. The teams in attendance are Rose-Hulman, St. Joseph’s, Ball State, Purdue, Saint Louis and IUPUI.

“We wanted to do a big event that would raise money and awareness to a great cause.

Softball close mid-week play splitting doubleheader Thomas Hardesty

Assistant sports editor

After losing ten games in a row, including a tough loss to the Fighting Illini Wednesday, the Sycamores came to life last night in Indianapolis to defeat the Indianapolis University-Purdue UniversityIndianapolis in the second game of their double header.

The Sycamores took a hiatus from MVC play when they traveled to Champagne, Ill., Wednesday to face the Fighting Illini. Freshman shortstop Megan Stone, who has been hot this season for the Sycamores, went 3 for 3 against the Illini, singling in the first and later scoring.

It was a close contest until the fifth inning, when the Illini rallied to cross the plate another four times, and the Sycamores were never able to overcome the deficit.

The Sycamores packed up again the next day and headed north to Indianapolis to take on the Jaguars of IUPUI in a double header.

The first game was a tough loss for the Sycamores, as the Jaquars came out on top by a close margin, 2-1.

The second game was quiet as both teams left multiple runners on base with no one crossing the plate until the fourth inning, when the Sycamores breathed some life into their game.

Freshmen Megan Stone came into pinch run for Beisser, who started the inning off with a walk.

Andres then punched one over the infield to double, sending Stone to third. Connely bunted, scoring Stone and advancing Andres to third base. Myers hit a sac-fly to left field that scored Connely, putting the Sycamores up 3-0.

The Sycamores left two runners on in the fifth, but added onto their lead in the 6th by scoring another three runs thanks to a homer by Heller and hits by Scott and Ketner.

IUPUI finally responded in the seventh inning, but it was too little too late as the Sycamores held on to win, putting an end to their 11-game losing streak.

The Sycamores hope to carry their success against the Jaquars all the way to Omaha, Neb., this weekend as they face the Blue Jays of Creighton (14-13) in a three-game series, starting Freshman Megan Stone getting ready to run to base for ISU softball (Photo courtesy of with a double-header scheduled for 1 p.m. on Saturday.
