Statesman changes publication days Rileigh McCoy News Editor Fall 2018, the Indiana Statesman will be moving from publishing three times a week down to twice a week.

Students will be able to pick up copies of the Statesman on Tuesday’s and Thursday’s starting on August 28. As a result of a decline in sales in the advertising department, the Statesman will be moving down to publishing twice a week to support advertising sales.

The Statesman will also be making these changes to better support the student body and campus coverage.

“Three times a week is a pretty ambitious publication schedule, we think that two times a week will still let us be very visible on campus, let us fully report on events and activities and trends and issues on campus,” Dr. Philip Glende, student media executive director said. “And concentrate more on making each edition better, that is certainly the hope.”

Dr. Glende explained that this is not an unusual change among college newspapers.

“Other newspapers elsewhere in the state, college newspapers, are reducing their publication cycle for many of the same reasons,” Dr. Glende said. “For us, I think it presents an opportunity to beef up the papers.”

Glende further explained that among newspapers in general, advertising revenue has taken a nosedive in the last decade. As a part of this, the Indiana Statesman has also been a part of this.

“Our revenues have also declined,” said Dr. Glende.

“Part of what we’re doing here is recognizing that it costs a lot of money to put out a newspaper. This is something of a cost cutting measure, but it is also an opportunity to focus our energies more tightly in producing a smaller number of better newspapers.”

The Indiana Statesman will be published twice a week starting from next year.

According to Dr. Glende, advertising sales for the Statesman is highly concentrated in the Monday and Wednesday papers and will now be more concentrated in the Tuesday and Thursday publication days.

Claire Silcox is the Editor-in-Chief of the Indiana Statesman for the academic year of 2018 and 2019.

“I think that switching from three days to two will benefit the paper a lot,” Silcox said. “We can spend more

time collecting story ideas and content, plus it will give us more time to get more in-depth articles, which is something that can be difficult when we publish so often.”

Silcox explained that she is not sure how students will react to this change, but she hopes it will be well.

“Hopefully the fact that the paper will have more original content will help boost our pickup rates around campus,” Silcox said.

A new gender-neutral boutique created by Zach Moore had its first trial run on May 3.

Gender-neutral boutique, Out-Fitters, comes to campus for a test run Alexandria Truby Reporter To test run a gender-neutral high-end boutique, graduate student of graphic design, Zac Moore, is launching “Out-fitters” in the Personal Gallery on Thursday May 3 from 4-6 p.m.

This project was funded by an ISU Art Gallery grant proposal for $500. The grant funded the racks and other hardware for the pop-up store but Moore has also put his own money into the project.

“The goal of the project is to provide students with gender free clothing. To offer free and accessible androgynous and gender inclusive options that better reflect peoples’ personal gender identities,” Moore said.

The clothes were donated and are available for free at the launch and from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. every day until Friday May 11.

“It’s presented in a way that is like a high-end boutique and not a traditional Salvation Army or Goodwill style so that it makes these people feel important and valued so that is a designed experience. This is all focused to express that they are normal and they can have access to the same experiences that traditionally gendered people do,” Moore said.

Moore said that he believes that a lot of people don’t feel represented and included and that this project is to give those people a place to be who they are.

“Clothes don’t change the world but the person that wears them might,” Moore said. “I don’t care who you are, when you put on a suit, you act and carry yourself differently and people will treat you differently.

It’s the same as when you wear a

T-shirt or a scarf. What you wear affects how you go through the world and how you are treated.

Allowing people to feel comfortable with what they wear allows them the confidence to feel better and express themselves more freely.”

Moore said that there is research to back that misrepresented people will act and feel different when they are unable to express themselves. When they can express themselves they have lower risks of mental heath issues, and are more likely to make better decisions.

“The idea is not new. There are places in San Francisco and Chicago that cater specifically to queer people but this is the first one here in the area designed to provide this kind of experience at such a high-end aesthetic,” Moore said. “I was inspired a lot by a class that focuses on public health and public art and how art can influence the way we live and our decision-making.

That helped me to design how the project works and how I go about accomplishing my goals.”

Moore hand-designed the tags and bags with a stamp to make the store as polished as he wanted.

“All of the design is very intentional,” Moore said. “In using the typeface, it was designed in such a way that it doesn’t have a gender. The drybrush script that I use is firm but it is still handwritten which is both masculine and feminine which is telling of the project. Branding is very important and designers are like the gatekeepers to branding. We get to decide what things look like and why they are effective.

The new Health and Human Services building os holding an open house on May 11th.

Health and Human Services building open house set for May 11 An open house to explore the first completed phase of the Health and Human Services Building - the largest state-funded project in Indiana State University’s history - is set for 1-3 p.m. May 11.

The event, which is open to the public, will kick off with remarks at 1 p.m. Guests are asked to enter through the Fourth Street entrance. Light refreshments will be provided.

In July 2016, the university broke ground on the silver LEED-certified project, which includes major upgrades to improve temperature control and air quality in the building as well as technology improvements.

Interior space reconfiguration enables academic programs to function more efficiently, and an 87,000-square-foot expansion will house new and existing academic programs.

The $64 million project’s second phase, which includes renovation of classrooms and labs in the 1960s-era Arena building, is expected to wrap up spring 2019.

The renovation and expansion project addresses the critical need for classrooms and laboratories to support the rapid growth the College of Health and Human Services has experienced in recent years. It now educates more than 2,700 undergraduates, 750 graduate students and employs 93 full-time faculty and 55 full-time staff.

The facility will help mold the 21st health care professional by bringing the different health care disciplines under one roof, aiding in inter-professional education and allowing students from various health and wellness disciplines to participate in collaborative learning.

“This new building ... is concrete evidence in the investment of the state of Indiana in the health, health and wellness and social services workforce needs of Indiana,” said Caroline Mallory, dean of the College of Health and Human Services. “The College of Health and Human Services is where students come to become professionals, where the

faculty teaching scholarship and career-readiness, and where the public can be assured that we are using their resources to improve the quality of life for all of Indiana.”

Health care professions are some of the fastest growing, high-wage jobs in Indiana, where 11 of the careers on the Indiana Department of Workforce Development’s Hoosier Hot 50 Jobs list are in the health care field, including registered nurses, which is ranked No. 1.

A study released in 2017 by the Association of American Medical Colleges projects a shortage of between 40,800 and 104,900 doctors nationwide. By 2030, the study estimates a shortfall of between 7,300 and 43,100 primary care physicians and non-primary care specialties are expected to experience a shortfall of between 33,500 and 61,800 physicians.

Cinco de Mayo celebration Kayla Rogan Reporter Cinco de Mayo will be celebrated on campus this Friday at noon, to recognize Mexico’s victory over the French Empire at the Battle of Puebla in 1862.

“La Casita, is responsible for hosting this program, which has as reason to be that students create awareness and appreciation of important events for the Latino community as it is May 5,” said graduate student Jorge Zurita Valdebenito.

During this battle, the French

had over 6,000 troops under General Charles Latrille de Lorencez. These men planned to attack Puebla de Los Angeles.

However, Juarez gathered over 2,000 men to stop the French.

The Mexicans and indigenous people were outnumbered, but still had victory over France.

After the Civil War, the United States helped Mexico and the French left Mexico alone.

In Mexico, Cinco de Mayo is celebrated with traditional military parades. Many of the people in Mexico also recreate the Battle of Pubela. Cinco de

Mayo is not a federal holiday, so many businesses are still open.

However, there are some people who do not work on the day.

The celebration usually happens in Puebla where the battle took place, but there are other regions of Mexico that celebrates Cinco de Mayo.

“In the United States, Cinco de Mayo is sometimes mistaken for Mexico’s Independence Day (the most important national holiday in Mexico) which is celebrated on September 16,

Students stage another walkout over guns — this time in favor of them Michael Livingston Los Angeles Times (TNS)

When tens of thousands of high school students across the country walked out of class last month to protest gun violence, many expressed relief that their voices were finally being heard.

Will Riley felt like his voice was being drowned out.

And so the 18-year-old senior at Carlsbad High School in New Mexico set out to organize another walkout — in support of gun rights and the Second Amendment.

On Wednesday morning, he led “Stand for the Second.” Riley said in a Facebook video that the demonstration included 300 schools in roughly 40 states, but those figures could not be verified.

“Unlike the previous walkouts, these are for the Constitution and for the Second Amendment,” Riley said.

“What we’re asking for is that we have equal representation to the other side on this issue,” he said. “The best way we can make our voices heard is to do this in the same platform.”

The demonstrations were significantly smaller than the National Student Walkouts March 14 and the March for Our Lives 10 days later, with participation in the hundreds rather than the tens of thousands. The schools tended to be in rural areas, from Oregon to Pennsylvania.

In some schools shown on a map on the event web site, officials said they had no knowledge of walkouts. The map was later take down from the web site. In other schools, only a few students participated.

In most walkouts, students left class at 10 a.m. for 16 minutes — one minute less than the March walkout for the 17 students killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Fla., in February. The walkout Wednesday was 16 minutes to avoid appearing disrespectful to those victims, according to the web site.

At Kearney High School in Nebraska, sophomore Braden Rich tweeted a picture of himself and 11 students wearing white “Stand for the 2nd” T-shirts.

“It was great to see that we as a school wanted to stand up for our rights!” he said in an email.

At California High School in San Ramon, southeast of Oakland, students sang the national anthem and held American flags.

Some held a large black flag featuring an assault rifle and the words “Come and Take It.” “I wanted to get the message out that there are kids my age who support the Second Amendment,” said Dennis Fiorentinos, an 18-year-old senior.

Fiorentinos said the conversation about gun control should be steered toward mental health and “failed government bureaucracy” rather than banning assault rifles.

“I don’t need to buy an AR-15, but it’s a right I should have,” he said.

“I want the politicians in charge to look at what the people want and not just take one side,” Fiorentinos said.

The rallies did not ignore the issue of school safety. In a video posted to Twitter, a student at California High School said increasing the number of surveillance cameras and officers in school could suppress mass shootings on campuses.

Since the massacre in Parkland, several

states have passed gun control laws with bipartisan support.

Last month, Maryland, Rhode Island and Vermont passed so-called “red flag laws” allowing family and law enforcement officials to get a court order to temporarily seize a person’s guns.

The laws are aimed at people who have exhibited patterns of potentially dangerous behavior.

Laws banning bump stocks, devices that essentially turn semi-automatic guns into automatic ones, have also seen more support. The gunman who killed 59 people at a country music festival in Las Vegas last October used a bump stock.

Riley said he enjoys target shooting and believes that legislation restricting gun ownership infringes on the people’s rights.

“Natural rights are not up for debate.

They are not up for a vote,” he said in a video posted on Facebook. “They cannot be taken away. They can only be violated and that’s a terrible thing to do.”

E. coli outbreak linked to romaine How will Michigan State pay for lettuce kills 1 in California Nassar victim settlements?

Geoffrey Mohan Los Angeles Times (TNS)

Tainted romaine lettuce has been blamed for one death in California, as federal health officials added more than 20 more victims to the worst E. coli outbreak in more than a decade.

The person who died in California has not been identified by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which expanded its tally of victims Wednesday to 121 in 25 states.

Health officials say the contamination so far has been traced to romaine lettuce grown in the area around Yuma, Ariz. — part of the growing region that produces 90 percent of the nation’s winter lettuce, and which has largely stopped growing the winter crop.

Last week, the CDC said whole head romaine lettuce from Harrison Farms near Yuma has been linked to eight cases among prisoners in a Nome, Ala., detention facility. At least a dozen other locations are under scrutiny for possible links to the remaining cases, according to the Food and Drug Administration.

The FDA is “examining all possibilities, including that contamination may have occurred at any point along the growing, harvesting, packaging, and distribution chain.”

The FDA noted that the other cases were linked to restaurant salads in which romaine lettuce was the only common ingredient.

There has been no recall, in part because the lettuce traced to the Yuma farm, harvested between March 5-16, would be far beyond its 21-day shelf life, and no more lettuce is being grown on Harrison’s fields, officials said last week.

The winter lettuce season in the Yuma area and the adjacent Imperial Valley in California is largely over, and no other growing region thus far has been linked to any illnesses.

The most recent spate of illnesses began April 21, about a month after the outbreak first was reported, the CDC said.

Three more states were added to the outbreak map: Kentucky, Massachusetts and Utah, the agency said.

More cases can be expected due to delays in onset, identification and reporting of illnesses, the CDC has warned.

The strain of E. coli has been identified as one that produces strong versions of Shiga toxins, which bind to blood cells and can destroy organ linings — a scenario that has sent 52 people to hospitals, including 10 with kidney failure, the CDC said. That hospitalization rate is far higher than usual, the agency added.

Federal health officials are advising consumers to throw away and avoid eating Romaine lettuce, especially if its origin is from Yuma, Ariz., as investigators try to figure out the cause of an E. coli outbreak that has killed one person and sickened 121 others.

When each of Mark Thomas’ daughters entered high school, he made a deal with them — he’d pay for their college tuition if they’d find scholarships and jobs to cover the rest.

Two of his three daughters have taken advantage of the deal to head to Michigan State University. His third daughter is a high school sophomore who wants to follow in her sisters’ footsteps.

That means Thomas is used to writing checks to MSU — and it’s why he’s going to be very interested in what happens in closeddoor mediation sessions between the university and lawyers for Larry Nassar victims, which started last week in New York City.

“I think the survivors deserve huge payouts,” Thomas said while on campus visiting his daughters. “MSU could have stopped him (Nassar) decades ago and they didn’t.

But I worry about how MSU is going to pay for those settlements.”

Thomas and other parents and students concerned about tuition costs aren’t the only ones carefully watching. State legislators have said they don’t want any tuition money or state aid spent on settlements. Several financial rating firms have either lowered MSU’s outlook or placed it under investigation as they wait to see a dollar figure.

As for MSU? The university isn’t commenting directly on how it’ll pay.

Kurt Stepnitz|Michigan State University

Michigan State University interim president John Engler.

“It’s really premature to comment on any possible or pending lawsuits payments,” spokeswoman Emily Guerrant told the Detroit Free Press. “While MSU is committed to reaching a fair settlement through mediation, those efforts are not finalized yet.

In his testimony before the Senate, (interim President John Engler) said that is the first step. So we have no comment beyond that right now.”

In many ways, MSU is entering uncharted territory. There’s no exact comparison — although Penn State, with its Jerry Sandusky case, comes closest.

Sandusky was convicted of sexually assaulting boys while a coach at Penn State

and officials there covered it up.

“One clear difference between the two schools’ lawsuits, however, is the number of plaintiffs,” Roy Eappen, a senior analyst for Wells Fargo Securities wrote in his first quarter higher education review.

“Penn State has at least 35 accusers and the university has paid out $109 million.”

That’s just over $3 million a victim.

MSU is facing roughly 300 victims, according to figures in court records. At $3 million a person, that’s $900 million.

So can MSU handle that type of payout? That’s up in the air, financial experts said.

Florida governor not attending NRA convention Gray Rohrer Orlando Sentinel (TNS) Gov. Rick Scott, who is being sued for signing a bill imposing new gun controls, won’t be attending the National Rifle Association convention, which starts Friday, an aide for his U.S. Senate campaign confirmed Thursday.

Scott, now a candidate for the U.S. Senate against incumbent Democrat Bill Nelson, attended the NRA’s annual meeting in Atlanta last year as a featured speaker. He was advertised as

a speaker again this year by the NRA for its convention in Dallas this weekend. Then came the mass shooting in Parkland, resulting in 17 students and staff members dead.

In the immediate aftermath of the shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School on Feb. 14, Scott’s image was removed from NRA’s website promoting the convention. At the time, though, Scott aides didn’t say whether the governor would accept an invitation from the group.

The NRA is suing Scott for

signing the bill that imposes restrictions on gun purchases.

The new law, passed in response to the Parkland massacre, bans bump stocks, increases the minimum age to buy a rifle from 18 to 21 and places a three-day waiting period on all firearm sales.

Scott’s new position on gun laws is a substantive shift from last year, when he spoke at the NRA convention.

“We (Republicans need a larger majority in the U.S. Senate.

We need a majority that has the intellectual capacity to compre-

hend these three words in the Constitution: shall not infringe.

What does shall not infringe on the people’s right to bear arms mean? It means shall not infringe. It’s really not very complicated,” Scott said.

Democrats aren’t convinced of Scott’s breach with the NRA, and note he still embraced the group last year, nearly a year after the massacre at the Orlando Pulse nightclub that left 53 dead.

“Rick Scott didn’t have the courage to stand up to the gun lobby for seven years and now he’s trying to hide his record of

putting himself and the gun lobby over the interests and safety of Floridians,” Florida Democratic Party spokesman Sebastian Kitchen said in a released statement. “In the 612 days between Pulse and Parkland, Rick Scott did nothing to address gun violence but used the 2017 NRA convention to essentially announce his U.S. Senate campaign, proving he has no interest in keeping our communities safe from gun violence.”

Professor of the Week: Dr. Kenneth “Ken” Brauchle Alexandria Truby Reporter Dr. Kenneth “Ken” Brauchle is retiring this year after serving as Dean of Extended Learning for almost eight years.

What brought you to ISU? The job. My passion in education is serving the non-traditional or returning student. When I accepted the position, it was to create a new unit focused on outreach and online education, both of which were prominent in the strategic plan.

What are your plans after you retire this year? My wife and I are returning to Idaho to get closer to our grandchildren and the mountains. While we have enjoyed our time in the Midwest we have lived most of our adult lives in the west and miss the wide-open spaces.

How do you feel about retiring? I am looking forward to it.

I have many hobbies that I just haven’t had the time to pursue in recent years. Being able to spend more time outdoors and away from a computer screen is getting more appealing every day.

What have you been involved with during your time at ISU? Growing online education has been my major focus but I have also been deeply involved in strengthening our partnership with Ivy Tech on a statewide basis, furthering opportunities for students to receive credit through credit for prior learning, expanding College Challenge, our dual enrollment program and other outreach activities.

What is your favorite memory of your time at ISU? The people. My job puts me in contact with people all over the univer-

sity and I find them to be good, hard-working people who believe in what we do as an institution. From the president to the groundskeepers, everyone seems to have pride in what they do, as they should, because it takes all of us to make this work.

What advice do you have to undergrad or graduate students?

Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. There is a whole university that wants to see you succeed and will support you. But, learning takes real work and you will only get out of your education what you put into it, so work hard.

I noticed that you have been the Dean of Extended Learning for almost eight years now. What do you have to say about your time as the dean? The time has literally flown by. This has been a very fulfilling position. It isn’t often that you are hired to build an organization from the ground up and given a great deal of latitude in that creation. With the help of countless people across the university, we have been successful in building an organization that serves students, faculty and the community. This is the highpoint of my career in higher education. I feel great about going out at the top of my game.

There are two types of people in the world. What are they? If I had to pick only two types I’d say talkers and doers. I hope others would place me in the second category.

What changes did you bring to the distance education programs of the university? My team has really made major advancements in the number and variety of totally online programs available to ISU students and has

ISU Communications and Marketing

Dr. Kenneth Ken Brauchle

helped faculty improve the quality of those programs through instructional design support and technological improvements.

What is your favorite movie/ TV show? NCIS. I love Gibbs and his rules.

What will you miss most about ISU? My Extended Learning team. I’m blessed with a mission-focused, fun-loving staff of 16 people who are devoted to serving our audience. I’ll miss interacting with them.

What is your favorite quote or motto? “Lead, follow or get out of the way.”

Favorite author? Thomas Sowell, a political economist. His books make me think and see old issues in new ways.

Where is your favorite place

to do work? My office in Tirey Hall. I have a corner office on the southeastern corner of the building. When my windows are open, I get serenaded by the birds and the trains.

Who is your role model? My father. He is one of the most selfless people I know. He is 93 and still is more concerned with helping others than himself.

What three words would you use to describe yourself? Ethical, focused and entrepreneurial What is the most frustrating thing you see students do? Some don’t appreciate the privilege of being a full-time student and fail to put their learning first. I made that mistake myself fifty years ago and paid a price for it.

What did being a dean mean

to you? Having the autonomy to try new ideas and launch new initiatives has been very rewarding. The best part has been the honor and responsibility of leading a team that is doing great things and changing lives.

What do you hope ISU continues to improve on? Serving the post-traditional or adult student.

There are so many people whose lives can be enriched by getting a second chance at higher education.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go? New Zealand. From the videos and photos I’ve seen, it has great natural beauty. It’s on my short list of places to visit.

The Academy votes to expel Bill Cosby and Roman Polanski Rachel DeSantis New York Daily News

Say goodbye to Hollywood, Bill Cosby and Roman Polanski.

The Academy announced Thursday that both the disgraced comedian and the scandal-plagued director have been expelled from the prestigious organization.

“The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences’ Board of Governors met on Tuesday night and has voted to expel actor Bill Cosby and director Roman Polanski from its membership in accordance with the organization’s Standards of Conduct,” the organization said in a statement.

“The Board continues to encourage ethical standards that require members to uphold the Academy’s values of respect for human dignity.”

The decision comes one week after Cosby, 80, was found guilty on three counts of aggravated indecent assault against former Temple University staffer Andrea Constand.

Constand was one of more than 50 women to accuse the man formerly known as “America’s Dad” of sexual assault.

Still, Cosby mostly made his name on the stand-up circuit and on television. His film projects, including the 1990 film “Ghost Dad,” were few and far

between — unlike accused child rapist Polanski.

Polanski, a five-time Oscar nominee, was arrested in Switzerland in 2009 on a three-decade-old warrant stemming from the 1977 rape of a 13-yearold girl.

The 84-year-old had been living as a fugitive before his arrest, as he fled the United States in 1978 while awaiting sentencing after pleading guilty to the rape as part of a plea bargain.

Polanski was released a year later after Switzerland rejected the United States’ request to have him extradited.

Still, Hollywood hadn’t turned its back on Polanski entirely.

Despite the director’s checkered past, he was awarded with a Best Director Oscar in 2003 for “The Pianist,” and in 1981 was nominated for the same award for “Tess.”

Presenter Harrison Ford accepted Polanski’s trophy on his behalf at the Oscars ceremony, as the “Rosemary’s Baby” director was still a fugitive.

“The Academy congratulates Roman Polanski and accepts this award on his behalf,” Ford said.

The win was met with a rousing round of applause and an extended standing ovation from the crowd at the 75th annual cer-

commemorating the Cry of Dolores that initiated the war of Mexican independence from Spain,” Valdebenito said.

This holiday has spread to the United States where many Mexican-Americans have their way of celebrating this specific day.

They celebrate with bringing knowledge and awareness in the U.S. of their culture and heritage. Some of the largest festivals are in Los Angeles, Chicago and Houston. These celebrations help to bring the community together every year.

The holiday is relatively minor in Mexico itself but is a commonly know holiday in the U.S. Traditional food is usually served for the celebration. The traditional foods include tacos and mole poblano. Also, there are different kinds of music including mariachi music that comes from Western Mexico.

Plenty of students of all races can come to support the event.

The outbreak is the worst of its kind since 2006, when about 200 people were sickened by contaminated spinach from the Salinas Valley, the CDC said.

Symptoms include severe

The clothes left over will be used in the next iteration of the pop-up shop. Moore’s goal is to have an event at the fountain in the fall semester and involve more people. He is also looking into a partnership with the textiles, apparel and merchandising program to create ready-to-wear pieces that are intentionally androgynous in nature.

“If your gender doesn’t conform, why should your clothes?”

Moore said.

MSU FROM PAGE 2 scandal relative to Michigan State,” Eappen wrote. “In addition, Michigan State is a more tuition-dependent institution.

The reliance on health care revenue by Penn State likely helped insulate the school against concerns in loss of enrollment.”

Penn State runs a medical system.

MSU brought in $859 million in tuition revenue in 2016-17, according to its audited financial statements. That’s 29 percent of its total revenue of $2.9 billion.

If MSU’s reputation has suffered from the scandal, it could see a drop in the number of students enrolling, which could lower that income.

On the other side of the ledger, the university has $1.1 billion in outstanding debt. Ashley Ramchandani, a credit analyst with S&P Global Ratings, said it considers MSU to be in good shape

stomach cramps, vomiting and diarrhea that can be bloody. People usually get sick two to eight days after ingesting the bacteria, and most people recover within one week, the CDC said.

Here is the agency’s advice to consumers: — Do not eat or buy romaine

lettuce unless you can confirm it is not from the Yuma, Ariz., growing region.

— Product labels often do not identify growing regions, so do not eat or buy romaine lettuce if you do not know where it was grown.

— This advice includes whole

heads and hearts of romaine, chopped romaine, baby romaine, organic romaine, and salads and salad mixes containing romaine lettuce. If you do not know if the lettuce in a salad mix is romaine, do not eat it.

financially with debt and could likely add some if needed.

MSU also ended the last fiscal year with $1.1 billion in unrestricted net assets. That’s money that isn’t legally contracted to a certain project, but often is set aside for particular projects.

It’s like a family’s savings account where money is set aside for a new car, a new roof for the house and other projects. It can be switched to something else, or to cover an emergency, but that means those projects can’t be covered.

The two biggest chunks of what MSU has set aside its unrestricted net assets for are infrastructure ($557 million) and programs ($400 million).

So what else can MSU dig into to get its money? That depends, experts said.

The school has an insurance policy with about $39 million of coverage. Penn State had to sue its insurance company to get it to pay. Even if MSU’s company

pays right away, there could be a lot of money still needing to be paid.

“The only real option is borrowing the money,” said Robert Kelchen, a professor specializing in higher education finance at Seton Hall University.

He is unaware of any public university that has ever declared bankruptcy, largely because states would step in and bail it out. However, he doesn’t think MSU is in any danger of that, thanks its reserves and ability to borrow funds.

There are several lenders out in the market that likely would let MSU borrow money. However, the interest rate MSU would pay would depend on the various ratings agencies and how they see MSU’s finances.

If the money is borrowed, then payments would have to be made.

All of that is why Engler has been saying, including during a legislative hearing in March, that

tuition is going to have to handle the costs. That didn’t sit well with some state senators who have put a provision in the higher education budget — which has yet to be passed — saying no tuition money or state aid can be spent to settle.

The school could raise tuition rates on out-of-state students or graduate students to generate more revenue, Kelchen said, but that carries risk as well. If prices jump, would those students want to go to a school whose reputation has taken a battering in recent months?

And so Thomas and his daughters will wait.

“We love MSU,” Thomas said.

“My girls are getting a great education here. But I don’t see why they have to pay because the administration covered up everything. Fire everyone who knew and didn’t work. Don’t pay them big payouts when they leave and delay some projects.”

Meek Mill to focus on criminal justice system in six-part Amazon Prime docuseries Nick Vadala The Philadelphia Inquirer (TNS) Philly rapper Meek Mill’s experience with the criminal justice system over the past decade will be the focus of an upcoming six-part documentary series from Amazon Prime, Amazon Studios announced Thursday.

Mill has partnered with Amazon for the series, which will chronicle the rapper’s highly publicized legal odyssey, as well as examine the “negative effects [of] long tail probation” in urban communities, according to a release. Produced by Jay-Z’s Roc Nation and The Intellectual Property Corporation, the untitled series aims to provide an intimate look at Mill’s life, career and trip through the criminal justice system.

The series is expected to premiere on Amazon Prime in 2019. It will be organized into six hourlong episodes that follow Mill’s story from his childhood up through his most recent legal troubles.

“I’m grateful for this unique opportunity to share my story,” Mill said via a release. “Not only will this documentary give viewers an unprecedented look at my life, but it will also allow me to use my public platform to highlight the need for criminal justice reform.”

liams, was recently released from Chester State Correctional Institution on bail after being sentenced to two to four years of jail time. Judge Genece Brinkley issued the sentence in connection with a 2008 drug and gun case.

The Pennsylvania Supreme Court secured Mill’s release on bail last month as

a measure of “extraordinary relief ” due to the Philadelphia District Attorney’s Office’s concerns about the credibility of the rapper’s arresting officer. Following his release, Mill spoke with NBC’s Lester Holt on Dateline, saying “I don’t feel free.”

“I ain’t feel free since I caught this case at the age of 19. And me, I just pray. I

believe god is my first lawyer. I always believed that,” he said. “I got a lot of important people depending on me. And I’m not talking about them people, public officials, I’m talking about the men that’s depending on me going through the same thing I’m going through.”

Goodwill Hunting

The Presidency is a Presidency, not Reality TV

Joe Lippard

Opinions Editor

A few weeks ago, I went home for the weekend to visit my parents, and while I sat and watched the local news, there was a story on the local station about President Donald Trump firing Andrew McCabe, the acting FBI director. The banner across the bottom of the screen read, “Who will be the next to leave the Trump White House?”

This really struck a chord with me.

This local news station was treating the United States presidency like it was some reality show. Like we were just waiting on baited breath for the next person to be voted out on “Big Brother: White House Edition.” The presidency should not be reduced to being marketed to people like the latest reality television show to come from the mind of Mark Burnett.

It was around this time that I began thinking about how the media as a whole treats Trump’s presidency. The president should be held accountable by the press, not merely watched by it. When Trump goes

out and says that he fired Comey because of “this Russia thing,” and later denies that, the press should call him out on his lie.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that I think the news should be editorialized. We have opinions sections in newspapers for a reason. However, when Trump or White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders are answering press questions and they blatantly contradict what they’ve said previously, the press corps should question their words to their faces. This happens sometimes, but not nearly often enough.

Comedian Michelle Wolf seems to at least partially share my sentiment.

On Sunday, she hosted the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. A comedian traditionally hosts the event and roasts everyone in attendance. A few years ago, even President Barack Obama got in on it and poked fun at a lot of people. This was exactly what Wolf did, including some words for the press.

“You guys are obsessed with Trump,” Wolf said. “Did you used to date him? Because you pretend like you hate him, but I think you love him… He’s helped you sell your papers and your books and your TV. You helped create this monster, and now you’re profiting off of him.

If you’re going to profit off of Trump, you should at least give him some money, because he doesn’t have any.”

Wolf ’s act caused quite a bit of

turmoil in the media. A lot of cable news personalities, including “Morning Joe” co-host Mika Brzezinski, tweeted their condemnation of the bit. Their criticism focused on what they called an “attack on Sanders’ appearance.”

However, that’s not what Wolf did.

She said that Sanders “burns facts, and then she uses that ash to create a perfect smoky eye. Like, maybe she’s born with it, maybe it’s lies.”

For one thing, she straight up called Sanders’ eye shadow perfect, so I find it kind of hard to see how she attacked her appearance. For another thing, I feel like cable news outlets and their personalities used this as an excuse to get upset.

And Wolf isn’t entirely wrong.

When Trump was dead last in the polls during the campaign, 24-hour news stations still couldn’t stop talking about him. These stations kept him in the public light, even when he had no chance of winning. Now those same news stations now have news to cover 24/7, since Trump or someone connected to him does or says something dumb almost every other day.

At the end of the day, the biggest complaint that I have is that the 24hour and sometimes even local news stations make this mess of a presidency out to be some big viewing spectacle. It shouldn’t be considered entertainment to watch people drop out of the Trump administration like flies.

Growing up, I hated Goodwill. I didn’t want to be seen wearing some stranger’s hand-medowns, but sometimes that’s what we could afford. I hated the very distinct smell of Goodwill. I hated how gray everything looked. I hated how outdated everything looked.

Who knew that that would become the style?

I noticed in high school, the trend of thrift shopping surfaced. Macklemore’s song “Thrift Shop” came out. Everyone wanted to be hip and try new styles, but rarely did anyone pull it off. I definitely wanted to fit in with the new look, but I also still really disliked Goodwill.

Since then, my views have changed. I’ve now come around to the idea of stranger hand-me-down shopping, but I do tread the waters carefully.

I’ve come to find out that it all depends on the day, on the specific store, on the keen eyes; if any one of those is out of place than you probably won’t have as many or as good finds.

Some people have this sixth sense. I’m not talking about seeing ghosts, but rather Goodwill gold.

A friend of mine could walk into a store and find 10 decent, purchasable items within the first five minutes of walking down one aisle, while I’m shuffling through a rack, taking second and even third looks at different pieces of clothing to see if I’m missing the part that makes it wearable.

Some things you can usually depend on being at a Goodwill, including comfortable flannels from the men’s section, which are actually flannels and not just a plaid blouse button up. There’s always a good shot at finding a decent wind breaker or fall coat, as well as sweaters and crewnecks, also prob-

ably found in the men’s section. It’s nice to try to look in the book and movie section – sometimes they have some real keepers.

Jeans and cute shirts are usually a toss-up. Sometimes the only jeans you can find either fit wrong or fit just right in one position, but don’t bend because they have no give in them whatsoever.

One thing you should never look for in a Goodwill are shoes. I would never trust wearing somebody else’s – who I don’t know – shoes. Plus, they, for the most part, look especially dingy and brown. No matter what color or type of shoe they are, they’re all brown.

I obviously have gone to Goodwill enough to know all of this; however, I still have yet to feel bold enough to try and rock the whole “I’m a thrift shopper” look. While I go there often, I only have a handful of things I own that are actually from there. A flannel, a turtleneck 90’s sweater and a jean jacket.

I have donated more to the Goodwill than I have bought from them.

I’ll donate to them over Plato’s Closet any day, who are so picky with what they take in. They’re like the poodle of donation stores, snooty and with a certain image. Goodwill is like a beagle, generally nice and down-to-earth, low maintenance and generally loyal.

I’m glad that throughout the years my opinion on the Goodwill experience has changed from cringy to enjoyable. I would definitely say, if you haven’t tried it yet, to give it a go and venture into your own Goodwill hunting spree.

And while I’ve heard some horror stories about Goodwill sales leaving a customer or two with scabies, I think that was just some bad coincidences. If it scares you, just wash everything before you wear it. I’m still going to shop there, especially because I’m going to be the definition of broke after graduating. I may not have any choice but to shop there.

I still may not be able to rock the fur coat or stiff jeans, but I could wear a flannel every day.

Times change and so does the Statesman Grace Harrah Editor in Cheif As the Editor in Chief, this publication has been a part of my life consistently three times a week, for the past year. An announcement was made to the Statesman staff recently that next year the publications will be printed twice a week instead of three. Although this does not seem like a major change to many, for me it was still shocking news that I was not expecting. Working for the Statesman has been a life-changing experience, where I discovered my love for journalism. As the Editor and a journalist, that has never

changed and my passion for this publication has only grown stronger as the time has passed.

The Indiana Statesman was one of the few left university publications in Indiana that has stayed printing three times a week. Many major university publications such as Indiana Daily Student, Ball State Daily and the Observer have reduced their printing to twice a week or have completely transformed to an online outlet. The changes that have taken part in the world of journalism and publications is nothing new. At the Statesman, we have evolved to a more digitally friendly publication, including the start of our

newsletters and online website that allows students to get updates along with having the convenience of being able to read the articles anywhere.

The change that will take place next year will not affect the impact that I believe the Statesman has for ISU and the student body. I will always believe in the power of journalism and the importance of getting the stories out to the readers along with informing the readers of the campus and local news from student perspectives. Change is often a good aspect of journalism and as the world around us adapt to a more digital and less traditional form of publications, we will always have

the stories to tell along with passionate journalists that will deliver them.

The Statesman will always have an important role at Indiana State, giving students such as myself, an incredible opportunity to grow as a journalist and deliver the stories of campus life. As long as the Statesman is still a continuing publications, the true purpose of the newspaper will always be apparent, no matter the changes taken into action.

As more publications evolve to a more digital age, the ambition of sharing stories will never change at the Indiana Statesman.

Clay Dungan (6) led ISU at career high of five base hits with three runs driven.

Baseball Travels to Carbondale For Weekend Series Sherrod Reed Reporter

The Indiana State baseball team begins its series against Southern Illinois this Friday in Carbondale. As they approach the last stretch of this season, the Sycamores will fight hard to keep their winning record and to secure the highest seed possible. During their last game against Butler, ISU gave an impressive performance, managing 17 base hits and beating the bulldogs 11-4.

The win was vital in boosting the team’s

overall confidence and morale, with multiple players pulling their respective weights and contributing to the victory.

Clay Dungan led ISU at the plate with a career high of five base hits along with three runs driven in. Close behind him was junior Luke Fegen, clubbing three hits, including a double and two RBI. Still, it wasn’t until the third inning that the Sycamores set themselves apart from their competitors. Their bats seemed to connect with everything that came in their strike zones as the end of the inning put the Bulldogs into a seven point deficit, ultimately costing them the game.

Taking a peak into the Saluki’s last game, University of Illinois beat them rather soundly, allowing them only one run that entire game. To their credit, Southern Illinois did fight back hard, however with a wind-aided three-run homer by Dorin Turchin, their opponents managed to score five times in the fourth inning which made it hard for ISU to recover.

Despite this disappointing game for Southern, they had won six consecutive games prior and still maintain a better overall record than Indiana State. Some shared traits between the Salukis and the

Sycamores are the facts that both teams have competent batters and both teams have an energy that kicks in late game.

The Missouri Valley Conference is in for an action packed weekend of baseball as this three-game series promises to be an exciting one. Friday night’s away game starts at 6:30 p.m. at Itchy Jones Stadium, and with less than a dozen games left on the season, this weekend series is certainly a must see for baseball and college sports fans alike.

Four Sycamores named to MVC Women’s Track 25-Year Team Andrew Hile

Athletic Media Relations

Holli Hyche, Omegia Keeys, Erica Moore and Katie Wise have been named to the MVC Women’s Track 25-Year Team, the Valley announced Thursday morning.

Team composition for each sport has been determined by a 25-person committee (two representatives from each MVC institution and a panel of five voters from the Conference office). The team composition includes years in which league teams competed under the MVC umbrella during the past 25 years (1992-2017) and does not include competition from the current season. The voting panel determined a ‘Top 10’ from a list of 25 finalists. Four of those top10 honorees come from Indiana State, with Holli Hyche being the top vote-getter.

The Missouri Valley Conference was founded in 1907 and is the nation’s second oldest Division I athletics conference.

Women’s sports were incorpo-

rated into the MVC in 1992, having previously competed under the Gateway Conference banner from 1982-92. In August 2017, the Conference announced its 2018 Hall of Fame Class, which featured three women (in the six-person class). A total of 22 women’s athletes, coaches and pioneers have been honored by the MVC as part of the Hall.

Hyche, arguably the most decorated athlete in ISU track and field history, competed at Indiana State from 1991-1994, winning seven national championships during her tenure. She was also a 10-time All-American, 11time MVC champion, six-time All-MVC honoree, owns four championship records, four alltime records and is a five-time track MVP. Hyche also owns the school records in the 60-meter dash, 100-meter dash and 200-meter dash (indoors and outdoors).

Joining Hyche are fellow standout sprinters Omegia Keeys and Katie Wise. Keeys was an athlete for ISU from 1994-1996, earning All-American honors twice,

winning three conference championships, was a five-time MVC honoree and competed at the 1995 Pan American Games. She is second in school history in the indoor 200-meter dash and third in the 100-meter dash and outdoor 200-meter dash.

Sprinting for the Sycamores from 2013-2016, Wise earned All-American honors four times, was a nine-time MVC champion, six-time All-MVC honoree, three-time Most Outstanding Athlete and is a championship record holder. Wise holds the second-best time in school history in the 60-meter dash, 100-meter dash and outdoor 200-meter dash, as well as third overall time in the indoor 200-meter dash.

400-meter dash and hurdler standout Erica Moore was also honored as a member of the MVC Women’s Track 25-Year team. Moore was a member of the track and field team at Indiana State from 2007-2010 and owns the school-records in both the outdoor 400-meter dash and 400-meter hurdles. On top
