ISU to honor veterans on Tuesday

Sycamores stumble ISU Senior Day foiled by South Dakota State Jackrabbits

STEVE WININGER Reporter

ROB LAFARY Sports Editor

Tomorrow, Americans will celebrate Veterans Day and Indiana State University will host events to honor the service and sacrifice for those who have given the ultimate sacrifice, and for those who have and are currently serving in the armed forces.

This year’s events will begin Tuesday at 11 a.m., beginning with a wreath-laying ceremony at Tilson Auditorium.

Dr. Daniel J. Bradley, President of Indiana State University and a veteran of the Vietnam War, will begin the events by giving a speech at the wreath-laying ceremony. President Bradley’s speech will be followed by a speech from senior Joshua Hood, a human resources major and enlisted veteran of the Air Force.

At 2 p.m., there will be a nationwide minute of silence to honor veterans and their sacrifices.

From noon until 2:15 p.m., there will be a roll call and a passing out of yellow ribbons in the fountain area. Campus and community volunteers will read the names of fallen soldiers from Operation Enduring Freedom and operation Iraqi Freedom. The yellow ribbons are a symbol of remembrance for those who have served in places far from their home.

At 7 p.m., there will be a showing of the movie “The Lone Survivor” to round out the day’s events. The movie, which stars Mark Wahlberg, is a story of four Navy Seals on a mission to take out a high-level Taliban operative in Afghanistan, which becomes more

Indiana State headed into Saturday afternoon’s contest in a pretty friendly situation as a win over No. 22 South Dakota more than likely would guarantee them an at-large FCS playoff berth at the end of the season. But an untimely inconsistent performance on both sides of the ball would derail the scenario as the Jackrabbits bested the No. 17 Sycamores 32-17 at Memorial Stadium.

For the Sycamores, now 6-4 and 3-3 in the Missouri Valley Football Conference, the chances of a playoff bid still linger, however more alarming is the status of a team that has suddenly looked uncomfortable in recent weeks after a hot start. “[I’m] very disappointed,” ISU head coach Mike Sanford said following the loss. “What I told our team was that we didn’t play good enough to win. [South Dakota State] played better than us today ... I think though that we are very capable of beating them. I think that you learn from a game like this and one of the things I want our players to learn is that we are not victims and we aren’t people who make excuses.”

With the defense holding on by a thread, Indiana State did just enough to take a 9-7 lead into the halftime break.

After a scoreless first quarter that saw both teams trade empty drives, ISU got on the board with 12:41 to go in the second quarter when the defense came up with a circus-act worthy safety. After a botched snap, SDSU attempted a dangerous punt

that was blocked by sophomore defensive lineman Conlan Cassidy into the endzone and gave the Sycamores a 2-0 advantage.

Three minutes later, after Indiana State got the ball back following the safety, senior running back Buck Logan punched one in from three yards out and paired it with Eric Heidorn’s successful point after attempt to jump out 9-0.

South Dakota State trimmed the deficit to 9-7 with just over three minutes left in the first half when running back Zach

Zenner scored on a one-yard touchdown run and Justin Syrovatka connected on the extra point.

The rest of the day would go by the wayside. Indiana State went scoreless the next 29 minutes and the Jackrabbits capitalized, using an assortment of weapons to overwhelm the Sycamores throughout the final two quarters.

Self-esteem issues a result of social media overuse Myesha Garner Reporter On the Indiana State University campus, social media sites like Facebook and Twitter play a major role in communication among students, professors, departments and organizations.

Most of the students who attend this university have some sort of social media account, whether it’s through Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Yik Yak or a number of others.

To students, however, social media is not only a means of informal communication, but it plays a role in their everyday lives as well as in students’ self-esteem.

Alexa Fonner, a junior elementary special education major, agreed that social media can have a negative effect on a student’s self-esteem.

“In a negative aspect, students may say hurtful things to one another and think that since they are not face-to-face,

there will be no consequences,” Fonner said. “These things may affect a student mentally and make them feel like they have no power or any self-respect.”

For years social media has been the root of cyberbullying, which can have a detrimental effect on an individual’s self-

esteem and confidence.

Not only can social media be potentially harmful to an individual, but it can also be addictive.

Some individuals have gone as far as to post pictures that are considered inappropriate and explicit just for

attention from others.

Arlene Doble, a sophomore speech language pathology major, said that getting ‘likes’ on a social media post is essential to some.

“I think students like to see that they get ‘likes’ on their post, but if they are concerned, I would call it addiction,” Doble said.

Although some may think social media doesn’t have a major effect on an individual’s self-esteem, it’s been proven that it does have some sort of an effect.

Studies have been done that show that social media not only affects the self-esteem, but that it can lead to other harmful habits as well.

A study found on casacolombia.org stated that “American teens ages 12-17 who in a typical day spend any time on social networking sites are at increased risk of smoking, drinking and drug use.”

Not only does social media affect how a person feels about themselves, but it can affect the choices individuals make.

Gender-neutral restrooms a goal for ISU’s Spectrum, disabled students Jonathon Baker Reporter Over 150 college campuses nationwide have implemented gender-neutral restrooms. The single-stall, lockable restrooms are an answer to concerns raised by the LGBT community.

Junior art education major Allen Zielinski, is the President of Spectrum for ISU’s LGBT student community and thinks this is an important step for transgender students.

“It can be especially difficult for a student who has identified as transgender to go into a male- or female-only restroom,” Zielinski said. “So [gender neutral restrooms are] important and needed on campus.”

Zielinski does understand that the process to create gender-neutral restrooms on ISU’s campus will take some time, yet Spectrum is committed to make it happen so all students feel comfortable on campus.

Alexa Mayer, a sophomore English Education major and the director of

education and outreach for Spectrum, elaborated on the difficulties transgender students experience.

“I have a lot of transgender friends who don’t want to use public bathrooms or even bathrooms on their own floor [dorm] for fear of getting bullied or worse,” Mayer said. “Besides, there are family restrooms that men, women and children can go into because they are meant for families and that’s OK.” These restrooms are not just for one group of people, however.

When the University of Massachusetts opened their gender-neutral restrooms last summer, they issued a statement about their use, “These restrooms also help families with children [such as mothers bringing sons or fathers bringing daughters to a restroom] and people with disabilities who need the assistance of an attendant of a different gender. Single-stall restrooms also more easily meet the accessibility regulations of the Americans with Disabilities Act.” So gender-neutral restrooms don’t just

benefit one group of people, but can help many.

Many students on campus, such as freshman pre-med major Jessica Slaughter, seem to be accepting of the idea of gender-neutral bathrooms.

“I don’t have a personal problem with it,” Slaughter said.

Some male students were reluctant or unwilling to talk about gender-neutral bathrooms.

Male restrooms and female restrooms tend to have different unspoken rules, like no talking in the men’s room where in female restrooms, talking is fine.

“We are on a college campus,” Mayer said. “We are adults making huge decisions about our lives. Why is a bathroom an issue? Everyone is going to the bathroom to do pretty much the same thing.”

Through the actions of other colleges across the country, it seems that it is only a matter of time until Indiana State adds some gender-neutral restrooms of its own. This future move would increase

Having gender-neutral bathrooms would not only benefit transgender individuals, but would benefit families and people with disabilities (Photo by Clipart.com).

ISU’s already diverse campus and allow greater access to restrooms for not only the LGBT community, but for families and the disabled as well.

ISU listed in top 25 most dangerous colleges Steve Wininger Reporter An increase in crime over a short period at Indiana State University does not necessarily indicate the campus is a dangerous place for students to attend.

This past year, the Business Insider ran an article that placed ISU in the top 25 for most dangerous colleges in America.

The article was based on 2011 crime data that schools reported to the FBI and CLERY report. However, near the end of the article, it was mentioned that overall, college campuses are the safest places in America.

The administration, police, and public safety work hard to make sure students are safe at ISU. Director of Public Safety and Chief of police Joseph Newport said that the shooting threats and shooting that took place earlier this semester puts focus on everything. Though public safety and the ISU police are constantly evaluating the needs of police presence and updating

security on campus, a spike in crime does not always indicate a need for more police officers.

If the campus continually grows in enrollment, there could be a possible need to hire additional officers.

“We don’t want to rush into decisions based on a few misfortunate incidents,” Newport said.

Newport said crime is not always a constant, especially when you have large numbers of new people entering the mix every year. Newport said historically, the crime rate has stayed consistent, and there will be times when there is a spike in one or more categories.

“Overall, the numbers are consistently low,” Newport said.

Newport said they are always looking at upgrading campus security, even if the growth of campus population was not as much as it is, or if there is no spike in crime.

Student senator Morgan Chaney, a sophomore biology major, believes that

the Student Government Association can address the crime on campus by talking to the students.

“The police do an excellent job of protecting students, but it is important we understand where the student concern lies,” Chaney said. She and a few other student senators are working on a survey to get students’ opinions on campus safety. “We are here to make decisions based on the student body; therefore, if the student feels unsafe, it is our duty to address the situation and find a solution.”

Crime can happen anywhere, Chaney said. Referring to the Business Insider article, she said that there are a high number of reported crimes on campus, but they are dealt with.

Senior nursing major Taylor Gilles said that she feels safe on campus. She said she is very cautious about walking alone at night on campus, but still does not feel any imminent threat to her safety.

“Sometimes I will ask a friend to escort me,” Gilles said.

A common theme that has been echoed by many faculty, police, and students such as Gilles, is that safety is not just the university’s responsibility. It is also the responsibility of the student.

Gilles said she could probably report someone if they had a weapon, or knew they were going to commit a crime, but it would also depend on the situation.

She said that students would be afraid they would become a target if they were to say something.

“There is an unwritten code of silence among many students,” Gilles said. “I don’t think anyone wants to be labeled a snitch.” Crime has increased this year, Gilles said, and she believes this based on the number of RAVE alerts she has received compared to past years.

Police do a good job of keeping students informed and it helps when they know what is going on so they can plan accordingly, Gilles said.

Statesman Poll In a recent poll conducted on the Indiana Statesman’s website, students, faculty and staff were asked if catcalling is socially acceptable.

OPINION

Gender shouldn’t determine acceptance How often have we heard that men and women have completely different roles?

That men have to do all the heavy lifting and that women belong in the kitchen?

Have you ever Columnist seen a boy who plays with dolls and doesn’t get made fun of, or a girl who likes football?

All of this is because of society.

Society boxes people into roles based on sex and gender.

For those of us who don’t fit perfectly inside the box, society will try to smash us in until we do. Is conforming really that important?

What I’m talking about is gender roles. This is not to be confused with a person’s sex, which is whether they have a male or female body.

Gender is how that same person identifies.

The issue we see starting from birth is if someone is born into a male body, they are expected to have a male gender — the same applies for females.

Society doesn’t allow room for a male body with a female gender or vice versa. But really,

is that fair?

Having a different gender than sex isn’t bad. It’s completely harmless and often these people are some of the most accepting you will find.

Society puts such an emphasis on gender and gender roles that we forget there are people behind them. There is absolutely no reason to hurt them, to ostracize them because they don’t fit into society’s little box.

Feminists are very common these days. Many believe that women don’t belong in the kitchen and that women shouldn’t have to wear dresses or makeup, shave, or cross their legs when sitting.

After all, women are supposed to be the emotional and fragile, or so society dictates. But that is not always the case. There is nothing wrong with not wanting to cook or dress a certain way.

Really all they are saying is “society is wrong” — and it is.

Not too often we hear about males breaking their gender roles. Men are traditionally seen as strong, smart and emotionally closed off.

They’re not supposed to cry and they’re supposed to be made of dirt, nails and puppy dog tails.

But this isn’t always the case. I, for example, played with baby dolls when I was younger.

I liked a lot of the “girl shows”

and I found skirts and dresses very comfortable — and still do.

I will be the first one to cry at a sad movie and I will be the last to lift that heavy box. I never conformed to the gender roles society forced upon me.

I fought them tooth and nail and I still do.

But others aren’t so stubborn.

There are many people out there who are afraid to speak out and act against such roles. They are afraid of all the things that might happen to them. And at least for right now these fears are understandable.

They are afraid to be who they really are because society says otherwise. So what do we do to help everyone be who they really are?

We need to start accepting everyone. Liking someone and accepting them are not the same thing, however. You don’t have to like them to accept them, but everyone should be accepted for who they are.

I’m sure if all of those men who are scared to go to a movie because they’ll cry and all of those girls who would rather play in mud had just one person who would accept them, then everything would be better.

No matter who they are or what gender they identify as, they deserve to be accepted the same way we all are.

‘Die with Dignity’ is about the decision, not the method

Suicide has fallen back into the public debate recently in the form of Brittany Maynard. For those of you who like to avoid news involving death, Brittany Maynard was the public face of the “right to die” movement.

This movement fights for giving the terminally ill the right to choose Columnist assisted suicide. Brittany Maynard had terminal brain cancer and became a sort of public figure when she announced her plans to kill herself under the Oregon law allowing assisted suicide, and when she chronicled her “bucket list” via social media.

On Nov. 1 she finally got her wish to “die with dignity” when she took prescription medicine and posted a final Facebook status update. This event has led to some intriguing reactions.

Many are praising, practically worshipping, her and her decision, while some argue that her death was still a cowardly suicide, citing that they — or their family members — also have a terminal disease and plan to fight it to the bitter end. Meanwhile, a select few take

Jake Porter

offense with not her, but her admirers.

Evidently, some supporters of the “dying with dignity” ideal have begun calling those who let a terminal disease kill them “dying with ignorance.” This has led to many — the New York Times and myself, for instance — to explore this strange phenomenon of the “ideal death.”

Personally, I have seen both sides — out of respect, the people I write about shall remain anonymous. I have a family member who has had a brain tumor since he was a teen; he was informed by physicians that it was terminal and he had maybe a few months to live. With the help of proper medication and keeping his health ideal, his body apparently said “bollocks to that” and lo and behold he is in his early 40s now.

At the same time, I know people who have made agreements with their families that if they were rendered comatose or too sick to do it themselves, their family is supposed to end their life for them; a couple of them got their wish. So in my opinion, either option is completely viable.

What I find interesting about all of this, however, is that this debate is nothing new.

Hunter S. Thompson, arguably the most important journalist of the 20th century and an inspiration to writers worldwide,

killed himself in 2005. According to family members, it was likely due to severe and chronic medical problems and pain.

Backing this up is him being quoted as saying that he “would feel real trapped if he didn’t know he could commit suicide at any moment.”

He had also written a suicide note stating that he needed to start “acting his [old] age.” Of course, there are differences between the two suicides — mainly that Thompson didn’t have cancer and he used a gun.

However, the theme of “dying with dignity” is prevalent in both.

Of course, that’s just it, isn’t it? If these people really wanted to die, why not just blow their brains out or take a long walk off a short pier?

Why bother making a movement to make assisted suicide legal if suicide is there; what are they, squeamish? Well, my oddly insensitive reader, not everyone who wants to commit suicide is physically able.

Not everyone is like those I knew, who were willing to make their families technically commit murder as far as the law is concerned. Some might even argue that if the person hasn’t committed suicide before being rendered helpless, it’s not dying with dignity; and that’s what I

think everyone in this debate is forgetting.

“Dying with Dignity” isn’t about being the one to physically pull the trigger, or even committing suicide. A dignified death is simply one that is on your own terms. This debate often reminds me of the Vikings who, if condemned to death, were allowed to choose the method of execution.

Part of this was because how they faced their demise determined whether or not they’d go to Valhalla — Viking heaven — but also because it meant that even to the end, it was their choice.

That’s all anyone who’s in this movement wants, to meet their maker on their own terms. If you want to try and live forever or if you want to die before you’re 49, fine; but that should be your choice no matter what.

You could argue the issue of suicide supposedly being a sin. If we were a faithbased country, that might be one genuine argument. Fortunately, we aren’t faith based. I’ve heard some people say that if assisted suicide were legal, we could just kill whomever and claim it was assisted suicide.

Fine, make it so the soon-to-bedeparted sign their own death certificate or something. There is no logical or moral reason to make assisted suicide illegal in our society.

Low voter turnout reflects lack of faith in political process

In the land of the free and home of the brave, it is our patriotic duty to vote for our officials. We all know just how cutthroat the political world can be with the smear campaigns and leaks of corruption but it is still important to voice your opinion and vote.

However, I’m not too sure just how many Americans believe that.

When Election Day came, I was stuck at work all day and had no chance to get out and vote. As I expressed my feelings Columnist with my co-workers, I found out that some felt the same as me and others did not have a care in the world about participating. Flabbergasted, I expressed my displeasure with those who do not vote and told them, “It’s your right to vote and voice your choices.”

They scoffed at me and told me it was also their right not to vote. I was stunned because I had no rebuttal to a perfectly logical answer like that.

Yet, I began to think about all of those who might feel the same way and just how something like that might affect the voting during midterm elections.

I combed the Internet until I found an article that

T.C. Wampler

explained it to me in English. I found that usnew.com had an article about voter turnout during this past election and the one from 2010. Out of the eligible voters in America, we had 36.6 percent turnout this year and 40.9 percent in 2010. Yes, you read that right — only about a third of the eligible voters in America voted in midterm elections.

Excuse me while I tear out my hair in fury. For anyone thinking I am a hypocrite, just know that I hate myself for not voting and I really wish I had been a part of it.

However, those of us who do not vote cannot complain about the officials in office. But why are these things happening?

From my conversations with people on campus, it sounds like they are tired of the gridlock in government.

Then they lose faith in the system and they do not care enough to go to the polls and vote, thus giving in to the gridlock. From the looks of this election, we are in for a lot more.

Our political system is made of two primary groups, Republicans and Democrats, and they fight for the majority in the House and the Senate every midterm.

This time Republicans took control of the Senate and the House remained in their control.

Now that Republicans hold two-thirds of the power of

government, President Obama might be in for a rough two years.

Many die-hard Democrats are screaming “run to the hills, Martha” and some want to stand their ground and dig in. Not being the most politically tuned-in person, I do try to keep up with what is going on and the day after the midterms President Obama gave a speech.

As I watched the press ask their questions I tuned into the President’s answers. He said, “the Republicans are going to have to be willing…” again and again.

Now, I was always taught that you catch more flies with honey than vinegar but it really sounds like the President has a bone to pick with the Republicans.

Yes, they have put hard resistance to a lot of his policies but he has the opportunity to end this by offering them deals. It takes two to tango and that is what these officials are doing.

If we keep thinking that our votes do not matter, then the 36.6 percent who did get out and vote get to keep making the decisions about our future. I surely do not want only a third of the population making all the decisions about who gets into office. For all we know, those who voted were friends of these politicians. Now we — yes, I am including myself — have contributed in gridlock.

Comedy group to help relieve end-of-semester stresses Gen Zatkoff Reporter There’s a new source of entertainment on the Indiana State University campus.

This time it’s a comedic group called “Why You Laughing?”

With fall break and Dead Week upon us, it’s easy to get stressed out. Students are buckling down and finalizing their grades before it’s too late, and they may need a little bit more than a quick “study break.”

Why You Laughing? is a comedybased organization here to keep the students laughing and from taking life too seriously. The majority of the things they joke about are simple college problems to provide the campus with a humorous outlook on college life and college issues.

They try to do at least three to four events every semester. When it comes to their shows, they tend to be more creative.

Jarid Riddle, a sophomore in Sports Management and founder of Why You Laughing?, wants to bring a smile to campus.

“Since laughter cannot be categorized, our mission is to bring positive energy and smiles to the faces of ISU,” Riddle said.

“We have one motto we say before every show and after every practice and that is to ‘KEEP EM LAUGHIN’,” Riddle said.

Although they already had all their shows this year, their next one will be Feb. 8. Information about this show will be posted all around campus closer to this date.

The general audience is the students of the Indiana State campus, but some faculty members also make appearances.

The purpose of the group is to bring college issues and situations to light from a comedic point of view.

Freshman Eric Cunningham, a legal studies major, enjoys the non-seriousness of the group.

“I like that there’s a group on campus that isn’t so serious. College is already serious enough, so I applaud the people who can be comedic about it without offending others,” Cunningham said.

Features Movie screening a part of Veterans Day events

Monday, Nov. 10, 2014

Mariah Lee Reporter In honor of Veterans Day, Indiana State University and American Democracy Project will be holding a screening for the movie “Lone Survivor” Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Dede 1. The movie screening will offer pizza, popcorn and refreshments for guests.

“Lone Survivor” is an R-rated actionadventure starring Mark Wahlberg, Taylor Kitsch and Emile Hirsch.

The story is about Marcus Luttrell — played by Mark Wahlberg — and his team setting out on a mission to capture or kill a Taliban leader named Ahmad Shah, in a mission that took place in late June 2005. Marcus and his team are left to fight for their lives in one of the most valiant efforts of modern warfare.

“Lone Survivor” is based on a 2007 nonfiction book of the same name by Marcus Luttrell and Patrick Robinson, which is one of the reasons this film was

chosen to be shown on Veterans Day. Jennifer Moranch, a second-year graduate student majoring in student affairs, likes how the movie has a true story behind it.

“We chose to show this film because it is based on true events of real soldiers.

In fact, the film even shows footage of real veterans at the beginning and end of the movie. We thought it was also a newer movie that could draw in people,” Moranch said.

Some students haven’t seen “Lone Survivor” but are interested in seeing the movie to support the troops.

Junior social work major Katheryn Snowden said she likes supporting our troops.

“I’ve never seen ‘Lone Survivor’ before but I’m looking forward to seeing it because I support our troops and I’d like to see what they go through,” Snowden said. “‘Lone Survivor’ is primarily about the

unflinching bravery of SEALs executing their mission and looking out for one another, even as they’re coming to grips with the reality of how this thing is going to end,” said Richard Roeper of the Chicago Times.

“The event is co-sponsored by Veterans Affairs, and it would be nice to see students come out and show their support for our veterans. I’ve seen the movie. It’s an intense movie, but I think it’s worth the watch,” Moranch said.

Moranch thinks it’s important for students to support American troops.

“Students should come because it is important for people to take a moment and realize how much veterans have done for our country. As the movie will show, soldiers have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country and our freedoms. I think the movie can make it more real for students than simply hearing it in the news or reading it somewhere,” Moranch said.

Student actors discover personal connections in ‘The Color Purple’ Libby Roerig

ISU Communications and Marketing Shalynn McNeal had been at Indiana State University only about a week when she was walking around campus and heard music playing. Intrigued by the sounds, she investigated.

“It was really bright, and I saw all the people through the reflection in the glass.

There was music playing, and I was like, ‘I think I’m going to go in there.’ And I did,” said the social work major from Michigan City. “I didn’t know what it was. I just walked in here. And when I came in, they’re like, ‘The Color Purple’ auditions,’ and I’m like ‘Really?’ It must have been meant to be.”

McNeal had heard about auditions for the upcoming production — set for Nov. 13-Nov. 16 in Dreiser Theater — while attending freshman orientation and later saw flyers around campus.

“I wasn’t going to try out for it. My friends kept encouraging me, because I’ve done musicals before,” she said. “I went in, didn’t have a song [prepared], just thought of the first thing that came to my head and auditioned.”

McNeal said she thought the play would be a good distraction for her freshman year, something to keep homesickness at

bay. What she got, however, was much more — a support group who helped her through some typical first-year troubles.

“Everybody really took me under their wing, ‘Shay, you okay?’ ‘What’s going on?’ ‘You need a place to stay?’ ‘What do we have to?’ They really helped me through that,” said McNeal, who plays Nettie.

The student-led and produced production is also the university’s first

all African-American company. The talented cast draws students and faculty from all backgrounds and majors — not just theater.

“Some people in the play are theater majors, but you would never know that, because they’re on the same level as you, as far as being helpful,” said Jonathan Posley, a criminal justice major from ‘The Color Purple’ Continued on PAGE 7

Indianapolis.

For theater major Ylana Aukamp, who plays the character Shug Avery, it’s an opportunity to share what she’s learned.

“It’s kind of weird to take the front seat instead of the back seat, and you have to now be the teacher and explain to them what certain things mean, how the audience will interpret what you’re doing and how you move — it’s really, really different from being a student,” said Aukamp, a senior from Indianapolis. “But it was very fulfilling as well, because you get to see how much you’ve learned. So it’s been very refreshing and a little rewarding to my craft.”

Posley said he’s been trying to get into his character, Mister.

“The toughest part about being Mister is being outright rude, violent, all that. It’s kind of a struggle, because that’s not me as a person,” Posley said.

Only with the help of the cast and crew was he able to tackle the material.

“I’ve gotten really close with one of the directors. His name is Charles,” Posley said. “Initially, we met with him helping me get into the character of Mister, helping me realize his presence, his stature, his tone of voice, everything. From then on, helping me become most comfortable, we grew close.”

Michael Arrington, associate professor of communication, also has trouble relating to his characters of Old Mister, Pa and the African Chief.

Hood, who introduced President Bradley at last year’s wreath-laying ceremony, will be speaking Tuesday after President Bradley about what it means to serve and be a veteran.

“Veterans Day is not only remembering those that served, but also those who are currently serving,” Hood said.

“Veterans Day is a celebration of service, and a solemn reverence of those that have given their life in defense of this country,” Hood said.

Hood is in the Air Force ROTC program at ISU, and at the end of the year, he will continue his service to our country when he is commissioned as an officer in the Air Force.

“ISU is definitely a veteran-friendly school.

Color Purple’, and he said the best thing about the male characters in the film was that some of them had the decency to die in the end,” Arrington said. “I get to go on stage and try to embody some of the worst people I’ve ever encountered in literature. This is not Mr. Rogers by any means, and in fact, in talking to my daughters about this performance, I had to let them know, ‘This is Daddy pretending to be someone.’”

Such mature material brings tough scenes for other members of the cast — whether it’s a fight scene or a moment that just hits home.

“A pretty difficult scene for me is where Nettie gets taken away. At one point, I was taken away from my mom, so it kind of brings me back to that particular moment,” said Samantha Smith, a freshman psychology major from Gary. “Thank God I didn’t have to be raised in a foster home, but when Nettie’s taken away from Celie, I can definitely relate. I was Celie at one point in time, so that definitely does bring back painful memories.”

Smith’s mother is now among her biggest supporters and has made her participation in the play possible, as she watches Smith’s 2-year-old son during rehearsals.

“She might shout me out too much, like, ‘Mom, it’s not a track meet, it’s a play!’”

For Briana Payne, a sophomore communication major from Indianapolis, the production has also deepened her connection with her mother. “[‘The Color Purple’] is my mother’s favorite movie. My mother went through something similar in her life, like Celie, so for the longest time, I couldn’t understand,” said Payne, who plays one of the church

I have received great support from the campus since I have been at ISU and have never even heard a student say anything bad about veterans,” Hood said.

Both of the ROTC programs at ISU support the Veterans Day activities that the university puts on every year.

“I come from a family with a history of service to our country. My dad served in the Air Force and an uncle [is] in the Marines,” freshman English major Logan Boggs said.

Boggs, who is unable to serve in the military because of a disability, believes that it is very important to acknowledge those who serve.

“Service members serve us, and it is important we acknowledge their service,” Boggs said. “There are veteran students, faculty and alumni, and it is important they know that their service was, and is, appreciated.”

ladies. “I remember the first night we had our readthrough, at the end, I started to cry ... because I see a relevant link between Celie finding her strength and the type of person my mother is and what she’s come from.

I sometimes call my mother, and I’m like, ‘Mom, I get it now.’”

Participating in the production makes Smith want to contribute more and to learn more about history, she said.

“It made me realize that I need to be more of a credit to my race than just being a good citizen,” said Smith, who plays Celie. “It exposed me to the hardships that women did have to go through back in those times, and they were hard, especially being an African-American woman. And it actually made me want to learn my history, my family’s history and look up a lot of that background.”

And she wants even more for her young son’s future.

“A lot of the people think ‘Oh, he’s an AfricanAmerican boy, you should put him in sports’ and things of that nature. But I want him to realize that women can play an important part on this earth, and as a mom, I want him to realize our family history,” Smith said. “So I believe as he gets older, I’m going to start incorporating some of those lessons in my teachings for him ... and not just to listen to the stereotypical ‘Hey, go into sports!’ Maybe you want to learn an instrument?

Go and explore, just like I did with theater.”

Tickets for “The Color Purple” may be purchased noon-4:30 p.m. Monday-Friday in the New Theater lobby. Tickets are $20 or admission is free with a valid student ID.

Sycamores light up the court against the Thunder Ace Hunt

ISU Athletic Media Relations Indiana State put three different scorers into double figures as the Sycamores earned a 68-54 victory over Trine in front of 4,875 fans inside Hulman Center.

While exhibition victories do not count against official won-loss records, the Sycamores improved to a perfect 9-0 under fifth-year head coach Greg Lansing in exhibitions, counting three wins in the 2012 Bahamas tour.

Khristian Smith led the Sycamores 21 points as he hit 7-of-10 shots from the field, including a 3-pointer and six free throws. Justin Gant added 18 points as he went 6-of-10 with a trio of 3-pointers to go with eight rebounds.

Freshman Brandon Murphy was impressive in his Sycamore debut as he scored 13 points of the bench and was a perfect 3-of-3 from the field.

The Sycamores owned a 40-26 edge in rebounding, including a 9-5 mark in second chance points.

For the game, Indiana State hit 20-of45 shots from the field for 44.4 percent and was 24-of-34 from the free throw

line for 70.6 percent.

Indiana State made 24 free throws while Trine had just nine total attempts from the charity stripe.

Khristian Smith recorded the Sycamores’ first basket of the game just over a minute in with a long jumper to stake Indiana State to a quick 2-0 advantage. After Trine leveled the score two possessions later, Justin Gant stepped out with a 3-point basket to push the lead to 5-2.

A personal 5-0 run by Justin Gant included a driving layup and then his second 3-pointer of the contest with 13:20 left in the first half to run the lead out to 12-6.

Gant then grabbed a defensive rebound and Tre’ Bennett found TJ Bell down low as the lead swelled to 14-6 which forced the Thunder to call a timeout.

A thundering dunk from freshman Brandon Murphy with 11 minutes remaining in the half, came off an assist from Devonte Brown as Indiana State score nine out of 10 points in a row and then Kitchell made it an 11-1 run and the 18-7 advantage on the next possession.

Murphy stayed hot with two free throws and another lay-up in succession

as the cushion grew to 23-9 with 9:30 on the clock.

Leading 26-12, sophomore Grant Prusator hit a pair of free throws at the 5:28 mark stretch the Indiana State lead to 16 points.

Brown answered a Trine 3-pointer with a driving lay-up as the clock ticked under four minutes remaining for the 31-15 advantage.

Smith’s driving layup with 44 seconds on the clock followed by a Brandon Murphy steal and dunk with 28 seconds remaining pushed the lead out to 36-15 before Trine’s Ben Syroka scored before the buzzer as Indiana State held a 36-17 lead at the break.

Murphy led the Sycamores with nine points at the half while Smith and Gant added nine.

Indiana State hit 12-of-24 shots in the first half for 50 percent while limiting Trine to just 7-of-29 for 24.1 percent shooting.

Trine scored first after the break but Smith answered with a free throw and field goal to run the lead out to 39-19.

Smith and Gant made it a 7-0 Sycamore run with 17:39 remaining in the game the Sycamores led 43-19.

The Thunder whittled the Sycamore lead down to just 48-34 as they scored 15 of the next 20 points before Gant drained a pair of free throws at the 11:17 mark and Smith connected on a trifecta to run the lead out to 53-36.

After surrendering five points in a row, Gant answered the call with a triple as the clock ticked under eight minutes and the Sycamores regained a 56-41 lead.

The cushion grew to 59-41 on Gant’s conventional three-point play at the 7:45 mark.

Bennett’s defensive rebound and quick outlet to Smith was the counter to a Trine field goal and Indiana State led 6243 with 6:13 to go.

But the Thunder would not go away as they scored nine of the next 10 points until Murphy hit a pair of free throws with 2:06 on the clock to restore a 65-52 advantage.

Tre’ Bennett rounded out the Sycamores scoring with a layup at the 29-second mark to secure the 68-54 win.

Indiana State begins the regular season on Friday when the Sycamores travel to IUPUI. Tipoff at the Fairgrounds Coliseum is set for 8 p.m.

Lady Sycamores dunk Southern Indiana in exhibition match Overcoming a slow start in the first half, the Indiana State Women’s Basketball team came away with a 7239 exhibition win over Southern Indiana on Friday at Hulman Center in front of 2,215 fans.

Senior forward Jasmine Grier led the Sycamores with 22 points as she scored 15 of those points in the second half. As a team, Indiana State shot 56.0 percent in the final frame to finish 42.6 percent from the floor on the night.

The Sycamores shined on the defensive end, posting 19 steals and forced 28 turnovers while holding the Screaming Eagles to a 7.1 percent mark from behind the three-point line.

Senior guard Stephanie Wittman added 11 points for ISU while senior forward Rachael Mahan put in 10 points. Wittman led the team with eight rebounds as the Sycamores out-rebounded USI, 41-35.

Grier and Wittman each chipped in four steals on the night, while senior guard Travecia Franklin dished out a team-high five assists.

ISU hit a lull in the first half, as it didn’t score for an eight-minute stretch near the end of the period. A feed from Franklin to Mahan broke up the scoreless streak with 1:33 to play as Indiana State took a 23-15 lead at the break.

A 9-0 run helped the Sycamores open up the second half a separate itself from USI with help from a threepointer by Greir and bucket by Wittman.

All available players saw action for ISU in exhibition play, as it got seven points from senior forward Chelsea Small and six from junior college transfer Alexis Newbolt.

Indiana State also went 73.1 percent from the freethrow line including a 7-for-8 performance from Wittman.

The Sycamores open the 2014-15 regular season next Friday against Saint Louis. Tip is set for 7:05 p.m. in the Hulman Center.

shook free in the third quarter, using its height advantage over ISU’s secondary and a variety of slant route plays to take the lead for good with 7:14 left in the frame.

Quarterback Austin Sumner, who was off-target for much of the first half, turned to athletic wide receiver Jake Wieneke and connected on a 91-yard pass play that was followed by an extra point. The Jackrabbits led 15-9 heading into the final 15 minutes.

Syrovatka’s 46 yard field goal to open the fourth quarter extended SDSU’s lead to 18-9 but the Sycamores marched down the field with some authority on the next series, threatening to cut the game back to one-possession from the Jackrabbits two-yard line.

What followed was a much-debated call that doomed ISU’s momentum on the series. Logan made a dive for the endzone from the two and appeared to have crossed the plane when the ball popped loose from his outstretched hands. South Dakota State piled on top of the ball and was awarded possession after the official ruling on the play was a fumble.

Zenner capitalized on the opinionated

Monday, Nov. 10, 2014 • Page 9 Sycamore woe two plays later, sprinting 94 yards to bring the Jackrabbit lead out to 25-9.

“I’ve just gotta take better care of the ball,” Logan said of the fumble. “You can’t leave it in the ref ’s hands. There’s no excuse. I’ve got to hold on to the ball.”

Sumner hooked up with Wieneke again with five minutes to go, this time a 31-yard pass play that put the game out of reach. Indiana State added a late touchdown with 11 seconds left when senior quarterback Mike Perish sailed a short pass to Buck Logan from two yards out. A two-point conversion followed that finalized a 32-17 score.

The touchdown pass was Perish’s 40th of his career, tying the career-touchdown mark set by Jeff Miller in 1985.

Indiana State gained 322 yards of total offense but was held to under 200 until the fourth quarter.

Perish struggled mightily, going 27-of-47 for 183 yards including his record-setting touchdown pass and an interception. Sophomore wide receiver Robert Tonyan Jr. was his top target, catching six passes for 74 yards.

Logan rushed for 92 yards on 19 carries including touchdowns of both the rushing and receiving variety.

The Sycamore offense got thumped by the Jackrabbit defense on Saturday, turning in an anemic performance en route to a 32-17 loss (Photo by Gary Macadaeg).

Defensively, the Sycamores allowed SDSU 510 yards of total offense with Zenner doing most of the damage. One of the FCS’s all-time-great running backs went for 193 yards and two scores. He also had four receptions for 26 yards.

Sumner finished the day 21-of-35 passing for 298 yards and two touchdowns.

His first half struggles amounted to two interceptions, both picked off by junior defensive back Mark Sewall.

Wieneke was the top receiver, leading the way with six catches, 172 yards, and two touchdowns.

Indiana State now faces a critical season-end stretch with two games remaining.

The Sycamores go on the road this weekend to Youngstown State and travel to Western Illinois the Saturday after. It’s safe to say both games are must-wins in order to reach the playoffs.

“This is a four-step process in the month of November to reach the playoffs,” Coach Sanford said. “We won in week one and had a setback today. We have to win the next two games and the dream is still alive.”
