Students find lost items on campus

Many students at Indiana State University are helping out by returning lost items to their rightful owners.

There were five incidents on Monday where items such as bank cards, credit cards, and iPhones were turned in.

This sheds a hopeful light for students who have or could possibly lose items on campus.

If students want to find items that have been lost, there are three options to see if anyone has found a lost item.

One option is looking for the found reports on a website through the Public Safety website to see if anyone has reported returning the lost item.

Another option for students is to walk in and report the item lost at the ISU Police Department.

Officers will take the student’s report and will inform them when the lost item is recovered and the dispatchers will call so the person can pick up the found item.

The ISU Dispatch Center attempts to contact owners of the found items.

Students coming to pick up their items must have some form of identification.

Dispatchers will contact owners via telephone or a letter, which is sent to the most current address available for that student.

To report an item lost or stolen, students can also call the Dispatch Center at the university police department at 812-237-5555.

Items lost during the current month can be picked up any time at the ISU Police Dispatch Center located in the lobby of the Public Safety Building.

Items that were lost prior to the current month are placed in storage and must be inquired about Monday through Friday during business hours from 7 a.m. until 3 p.m.

Items that have been in the lost and found storage for more than 30 days are donated or destroyed.

Vets honored during ceremony

STEVE WININGER Reporter Indiana State University hosted its annual Veterans Day festivities in Tirey Hall with a wreath-laying ceremony in the Heritage Lounge.

“The wreath laying ceremony is to honor all the fallen veterans in Indiana,” said Jennifer Christian, Americorps Program Director.

Posters displayed on both sides of the walk to the auditorium depicted students, faculty and alumni who have served. On each poster, there was a brief history of the person’s service, their branch of service and their affiliation with the campus.

The Air Force ROTC color guard marched the colors in, followed by the Air Force ROTCH Honor Guard, who lined the aisle in front of the stage. The honor guard presented the Arch of Sabers that the wreath bearers walked through.

The wreath bearers, who were members of the Army ROTC program, placed the wreath at the front of the stage.

President Daniel J. Bradley, a veteran of the Vietnam War, was the ceremony’s opening speaker.

“We all owe a debt to those who have and are currently serving,” Bradley said.

President Bradley spoke of the sacrifices that those who have served and who are currently serving have made. However, it isn’t just the service member or veteran that sacrifices, it’s also their families.

“There are 23 million veterans living today, and those who are serving face the uncertainty of war, and we give them our deepest gratitude and respect,” Bradley said.

Senior Joshua Hood, a human resources major and member of the Air Force ROTC program, followed Bradley’s speech with one of his own.

Hood spoke about what it means to serve and to be part of something that is greater than himself. Hood also gave a brief history of Veterans Day and how it began. The day was originally called Armistice Day after World War I, and the name was changed to Veterans Day in

1954.

Hood described the characteristics of veterans. They have discipline, a sense of honor, sacrifice and duty.

“During my tour in Afghanistan, it was life-changing. It was not just our branch, but also all branches that worked sideby-side and I credit that with saving my life,” Hood said. “It was a life-changing experience.”

After the speech, the wreath bearers marched the wreath to DEDE Plaza, where veterans and service members would read the names of Indiana’s fallen veterans from Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom.

Sophomore Army ROTC student Nicole Fill, a nursing major, and Senior Frederick Kundert, a senior Biological medical engineer and ROTC student from Rose-Hulman University, had the honor of laying the wreath.

Both Kundert and Fill said they come from families that had members who served in the armed forces. They also both said that their family’s service helped shape who they are and contributed to both their decisions to serve in the Army. Kundert and Fill both said they volunteered to be the wreath bearer, and were honored to be doing it.

Destination home: break transportation SHAWNTALE JONES Reporter Indiana State University’s Parent and Families Initiative has partnered with Turner’s Charter Bus system, beginning the ISU Shuttle Bus for the students going home to Merrillville, Indiana, and Chicago.

The coach bus will leave on Nov. 21 for Thanksgiving break.

They will be returning back to campus on Nov. 30 from fall break.

The cost for a round trip is $99 and $63 for just a one-way for either going home or returning to campus.

Turner will arrive at their pickup departure location at ISU thirty 30 minutes prior to their departure time.

Student passengers are expected to arrive at the pickup departure location no later than fifteen 15 minutes prior to departure.

Turner will arrive at their pickup departure location at Union Station in Chicago five minutes prior to their departure time. The city of Chicago will not allow Turner to be at this location for a long amount of time.

Turner should arrive at the other locations 10-15 minutes prior to departure. Times are tentative based on weather and traffic, and shuttles will depart on time. Turner will not wait on students.

Passengers are allowed two pieces of luggage to be stowed under the coach and one small carry-on bag per seat booked. Maximum weight per piece is 50 pounds.

Bicycles, skis, or excessively bulky items are not permitted. If transporting large musical instruments, students are advised to contact Turner in advance regarding possible accommodations.

Like many other transportation services, Turner expects everyone to be well-behaved and prepared.

Turner has strict rules regarding the behaviors and items allowed on board.

Weapons, illegal substances, alcoholic beverages and smoking will not be allowed on board. All food products must be wrapped and in containers; coolers, loose ice, open containers and glass bottles will not be permitted. Socializing in coach aisles while the coach is moving is not permitted, and there is to be no loud or profane language. No music is allowed unless headphones are used.

According to the Turner website, to make reservations students are to contact Turner by phone at 812-2325252 or 800-873-5252 in order to make a reservation for a trip and to arrange for payment.

Turner will ask for each student’s ISU ID numbers. Turner will not allow

anyone to make a reservation or to ride on a coach unless they have an ISU ID number.

No online payments offered or accepted and no walk-ons will be permitted. Legal name, address, telephone number and ISU email address are required at time of reservation for each student traveling.

All reservations must be turned in to Turner’s office a minimum of two weeks prior to the trip date, at which time Turner will make a determination if the trip will go and what size motor coach will be used.

All reservations received just two weeks prior to the trip or thereafter will be placed on a waiting list and those on the list will be notified no later than 72 h o u r s prior to the trip.

Sophomore psychology major Jasmine Williams said she learned about the shuttle on ISU’s website.

“I recommend this for all students because the bus is always on time, enjoyable service and convenient for students although they do not have plug outlets,” Williams said.

Sophomore and health science major Bryanna Washington thinks the bus is safe and better than the Greyhound.

“I love the fact that they call to make sure you’re coming or not before actually departing,” Washington said.

Studying abroad improves after-college job opportunities HELENA WALKER Reporter Studying abroad can improve students’ chances of getting a job after college.

Some of the questions students have are still unanswered, such as how studying abroad affects what jobs students get after college and it can help in a job interview.

Companies are looking for someone who’s adaptable.

Studying abroad is an experience that can help open students’ eyes to future job opportunities.

Teresa Dwyer, assistant director for employer relations, said that

independence, self-confidence and the ability to become resourceful those are skills that make for successful employees.

“If you have those skills it will help set you apart from others and you become of value to an employer,” Dwyer said.

“And when students come back and they are planning a job search their world has expanded so they consider more job opportunities that they might not have considered before.”

Christine Strong, the study abroad director, thinks that studying abroad can help students mature.

Strong said that being in the study abroad program helps students become

more marketable so that they can to find a job faster and that the study abroad program helps your become more culturally prepared.

“You can always bring up points and talk about it in an interview,” Strong said. “Smart students bring it up of how it can better their career and better the company they are interviewing for.”

Britany Vancil, a student who wants to study abroad, thinks that studying abroad helps students become fluent in another language, which is advantage in the workplace.

“This experience can makes it easier to communicate with others and helps

you make more connections in the professional world,” Vancil said. “Study abroad also helps you become more marketable to employers.”

Vancil wants to study abroad to become fluent in Spanish and experience another culture firsthand.

She wants to study in Seville, Spain, to learn more about the Spanish language.

She’s taking some Spanish classes and the rest of her foundational studies so she can focus on Spanish.

Students wanting to study abroad can sign up now until March 1 for the Summer 2015 deadline and from now until March 15 for the Fall 2015 deadline.

Seasonal jobs help students gain experience KRISTI ASHBY News Editor Breaks, both winter and summer, can be great times for college students to get seasonal jobs or internships.

The Career Center has lots of resources on their page on the Indiana State University website to help students locate internship opportunities.

Staff members at the Career Center encourage students interested to make an appointment with their career advisor to help them through the process.

Not only do seasonal jobs give students professional experience that can be listed on a resume, they also help students to develop transferable skills.

Kyle Moore, a career advisor at the career center, gives advice for Sycamore students looking for seasonal work.

“Transferable skills are skills you gain from an experience that can be useful in other experiences,” Moore said.

Even if you’re not planning on going into retail after you graduate, the retail

“

experience gives you transferable skills like communication, customer service, attention to detail and problem solving, just to name a few. “ E m p l o y e r s consistently tell us that ISU grads have the hard skills and are very smart, but sometimes lack those soft skills, which more seasonal jobs can help develop,” Moore said.

There is also a possibility that a seasonal job could turn into a full-time job offer if the employee does well.

Andrew Dryden, a sophomore chemistry major, doesn’t like missing the holidays with his family but said he needs the money.

“The seasonal jobs out there are pretty rough,” Dryden said. “It’s nice to go

home for the holidays to have a great season with your family but jobs, like say retail, require you to work Black Friday, Thanksgiving, and other holidays. It is nice though that there is a market for these jobs so students can make money.”

Even if it doesn’t turn into a permanent job, students can gain the experience and have a connection to a supervisor to help them build professional networking.

However, some students don’t want to work because they don’t want to miss the holidays.

Raquel Cervantes, a junior speech language pathology major, thinks seasonal jobs are good for students.

“This helps students get spending

Not only do seasonal jobs give students professional experience that can be listed on a resume, they also help students to develop transferable skills.

money over break,” Cervantes said. “I’m not working over break though because I need a break. This can be a downfall because students can’t get the time off they need during the holidays.”

While some students are more concerned with relaxing over the break, others are just going to miss their families.

“It’s going to suck,” Dryden said. “I’m going to miss time with my family but I do need the money.”

One note when listing a seasonal job on a resume is students should be sure to indicate near the employment dates on their resume that the position was seasonal.

“Employers can be weary to hire people who have several short employment periods,” Moore said. “Indicating a position was seasonal helps put the employer at ease knowing the job was only supposed to last a month, not that the student quit or was fired after only a month.”

Students show mixed feelings toward flu shots MAKYLA THOMPSON Reporter Many students are not getting the flu shot, and are risking their health, said Richard Knox from National Public Radio.

Richard Knox, a reporter for NPR, got information from three colleges and determined that one out of four college students get the flu.

The three colleges included Northeastern University, the University of Minnesota and St. Olaf ’s College.

A benefit of getting the flu shot is that students are less likely to get sick. The University of Minnesota and St. Olaf ’s College had researchers follow more than 12,000 students and Knox said they found out that for every two people who got the vaccination there was one fewer day of flu-like symptoms.

Students who avoid the flu are also less likely to miss classes.

Blaine VanCleave, a junior physical education major, said he has not gotten

“

the flu shot.

“I haven’t really had time to go to the hospital … to get it,” VanCleave said.

“I just usually do my normal thing. I always wash my hand too after I get done using the bathroom.”

He also thinks that the school should promote the flu shot better so students across campus can be more informed.

“To promote it I think they should show the bad effects of the flu and that would definitely influence me to get the shot,” VanCleave said.

Some people who got the shot felt that they got sicker because of it, while others believed it helped keep them healthy.

“I got the shot a couple years ago, and after that I haven’t had anything

wrong with me,” VanCleave said, “but it just depends on the person I guess, it depends on what they do after the shot.”

Students should take precautions to help keep themselves and others healthy, such as washing and sanitizing hands, stifling sneezes and sanitizing shared surfaces such as light switches and door knobs.

“People go to the bathroom [and] then they don’t clean up after themselves,” VanCleave said. “If they are sick they could just sneeze and then of course grab the knob or something like that and that next person can come in contact with it.”

Laurielle McFerson, a sophomore

“To promote it I think they should show the bad effects of the flu and that would definitely influence me to get the shot.”

Blaine VanCleave

political science major, has gotten the flu shot.

“I got the flu shot because my mother said I should get it so I won’t get the flu,” McFerson said. “The doctor said it will build up my immune system.”

McFerson said that she got sick even though she got the vaccination this year.

“I don’t think is important for students to get the flu shot, because it’s pointless,” McFerson said. “If you get the flu just let your body fight it off naturally. When I got the flu shot, [one of] my side effects was a cold-like sickness.”

Breanna Bernacki, a freshman athletic training major, wishes she had gotten a flu shot this year. She said she has asthma and has always received a flu vaccination to help prevent a serious illness such as the flu from affecting her lungs.

“I usually get a flu shot because I know I get sick easily,” Bernacki said. “I noticed recently that I didn’t get my flu shot because I got sick. My parents have always encouraged me to get flu shots.”

OPINION Legalizing marijuana

Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2014

Alaska and Oregon vote to approve marijuana use On Tuesday the states of Alaska and Oregon voted to approve marijuana legalization.

In Oregon, personal p o s s e s s i o n , manufacture and sale of marijuana by people 21 and over was legalized. They allow commercial Columnist also regulation within the state, which is, in a way, like Colorado’s rules and regulations regarding the drug’s legalization.

Alaska treats marijuana the same as alcohol and uses a state board to control the regulation of the drug industry.

Alaska had very obscure laws regarding the regulation after a 1975 Supreme Court ruling that allowed people to keep marijuana at home.

Then in 2000 and 2004, the legalization legislation didn’t receive enough votes to pass.

The new situation showed that 52 percent of voters were for legalization, according to the Rolling Stone.

Though Tuesday’s election approved the legalization, the law will not be officially passed until 90 days after the election is certified.

Jakob Howey

Washington D.C. also approved that “anyone at the age of 21 and older [can] possess at least two ounces of weed for personal use and grow up to six cannabis plants at their own home.”

Since the drug has no taxation policy on it and since voters can’t implement taxes themselves, the legislation states that people can give up to about an ounce of cannabis to another person but cannot sell it to them.

The problem in Washington D.C. is that, since it’s a district not an actual state, politicians may overrule the vote.

While weed is becoming more legal in the northern U.S. especially, Florida voted down a measure that supported only medicinal use for the plant.

This vote actually had 58 percent approval, which is only two percent below the minimum percentage that would make the vote an actual constitutional amendment, according to National Public Radio.

On the other hand, while Florida declined the allowance for medical use of the plant, the United States territory, Guam, passed a law allowing medical marijuana use.

While 23 states and Washington D.C. have passed laws for the medical use of marijuana, Colorado and Washington have passed laws for recreational use of Alaska and oregon Continued on PAGE 7

Washington District of Columbia legalizes recreational marijuana

In the recent midterm election, two more states and Washington District of Columbia legalized recreational marijuana. According to CNN, five other states are planning to present laws to legalize recreational marijuana on the next Columnist ballot in 2016.

Many states are legalizing the recreational use of marijuana or are moving towards the legalizations.

As more and more states legalize and work to legalize marijuana individually it progresses the national movement for legalization.

Activists for the legalization of recreational marijuana were exceptionally excited about the victory in Washington D.C. because it’s in the national government’s backyard.

They will be forced to think about it and it will directly affect them. It’s not a complete victory though, because Washington D.C. is not a state and has a unique government system.

Congress has the power to overrule the new legislation allowing

recreational use of marijuana, but the nation will have to wait and see if they are going to take a stand against recreational marijuana in the district.

It is important to remember that while individual states are legalizing recreational marijuana, it’s still illegal on a federal level.

Additionally, even in places that have legalized marijuana it’s still possible to be arrested by federal agents, but this is not very common. According the Washington Post, the Obama administration has stated that where it is legal they will not pursue marijuana crimes as long as the states have a good control over the sale and use of marijuana.

The more states that create legislation to legalize recreational marijuana the more the national government will be pressured to make a national decision on the issue.

Currently, with the growing number of states in favor of legalizing, it seems like there is a good chance that in the near future the prohibition of marijuana will come it its end.

Counterculture tackles tattoo taboo “Miami Ink,” “LA Ink,” tattoo models, tattoo magazines, tattoos on me, tattoos on you, tattoos on your friends, tattoos on Grandma.

Once looked down upon and considered taboo in some regions, tattoos have definitely made their way into the mainstream, and with Columnist good reason. Skin art is a beautiful form of self-expression, but like everything else, the practice should be approached with caution.

With tattoos now being one of the most common ways to show what we love, we forget about other options that exist.

Marijuana.

I do believe in the medical benefits for the marijuana plant. There are active chemicals in the plant called phytocannabinoids.

The cannabinoid with the most reputation — the famous or infamous THC — is the cannabinoid that gives one the “high” of marijuana.

The full name for this ingredient is called delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol.

The cannabinoids affect the central nervous system and the immune system, and also cause psychoactive effects.

Medical News Today explains how there is such a chemical called cannabidiol. This active ingredient relieves stress, physical pain, and decreases

losing some interest in it one day.

Today, you may want that tattoo of the evil ripped-up teddy bear smoking a cigar, but in the future, how will you feel about it and how will it affect your standing with potential employers?

Many establishments still feel that tattoos should be hidden as part of the dress code, but such ideas are beginning to change.

With this counterculture phenomenon, it’s becoming increasingly difficult, even in the corporate world, to dismiss someone’s skills and abilities based on body art. Unfortunately, this isn’t the case for every field. So, before you move forward with the naked pinup girl tattoo on your forearm, here are some things to consider.

Before the job prospects, before what your friends think and before what is trending in pop culture, consider yourself.

Speaking from experience, I have gotten more than one tattoo before college that I wasn’t so fond of and I had to opt for cover-ups. What led to

inflammation. One can receive all of these without getting the “high” of delta-9 THC. Obviously, there have been rumors on how medical marijuana works, how some believe it cures cancer and arguments about legalizing it nationwide.

For medical purposes, there are still many cannabinoids that doctors are researching and how they affect the body.

These cannabinoids we know about affect the body by blocking cell growth, cutting off blood supply to active tumors, provides antiviral activity, relives muscle spasms, minor spinal cord injuries and seizures by multiple sclerosis.

Also, it lowers eye pressure, potentially preventing glaucoma.

All of these results seem quite

my regret was the fact that I didn’t take the time to think it all through and ask myself some important questions.

What do you believe in and what will your ink mean to you? Why do you want this tattoo so badly?

Will you be proud to look at it and show it to others for many years to come? These are important questions to ask because they can save some regret in the future.

Sure, there are always the options of cover-ups or laser removals, but they’re painful and can have complications.

Also, both options are ultimately more expensive, so why not try to get it right the first time?

Some of the worst tattoo motivations are those of humor and a current emotional state.

Sure, your tat may be the funniest thing ever, but there may come a time where the joke is on you.

With the emotions of love, anger and frustration, you may feel super strongly now, but what about if or when those feelings subside?

amazing to people who actually know these facts; however, if we all think outside of the box, we do not need to smoke it to get these results. This is why many states approve of medical marijuana, in fact.

There are other methods of extracting the healthy ingredients from the plant and avoid giving people the bad ingredients that don’t do anything but harm the person.

Smoking the plant, just like smoking tobacco, still burns the plant, releasing many more chemicals that are not needed for the body.

So, consider this next time you decide to smoke it — it’s not all that healthy.

The smartest way to do this is to research the medical benefits on it and go somewhere to get treatment.

You don’t want to be stuck with the mark of a bad memory.

Now, depending on your career goals for the future, think about where your tattoos will place you among your competitors and within your field.

If you think there may be negative consequences, it doesn’t mean that you can’t get the tattoo you want, but it does mean that you should be cautious of where you put it. Avoid the neck, hands and any other areas that will be easily noticed at the workplace.

This way, no matter what you decide to have tattooed on your body, it will be no one’s business but your own and you can avoid unfair judgments and job rejections, which unfortunately do still exist.

At this point, some of us already have tattoos and, if not, we’re planning on getting one or more.

In the end it’s all a matter of personal choice and some of us do best to learn by trial and error or just life experience in general. So, ink as you please — just think about it first. Really, think about it.

heroine or meth.

It’s not possible to overdose on marijuana; a person would suffocate from the amount of smoke they were inhaling at one time before they were able to overdose from marijuana.

Alcohol — which is legal and has been for decades — is more dangerous than marijuana.

When sold to adults and regulated properly, marijuana is not dangerous.

Marijuana is not only not dangerous but its sale and taxes help the economy and government.

According to Forbes magazine, Colorado made 3.5 million dollars in tax revenue just in January 2014 alone.

This is not to mention the numerous other financial

benefits that come from the legalization of marijuana.

There are licensing fees and other fees that businesses will spend to sell marijuana.

With the legalization of marijuana also comes the added benefit of fewer people in jail because they are no longer being arrested for possession of this drug.

Fewer people being arrested means less tax money spent on housing them in jail.

As the nation moves toward the legalization of marijuana it’s clear to see that there is little downside and much upside.

States legalizing recreational marijuana come as tiny victories in the effort to legalize.

I hope in the near future that we will see national legalization and regulation on marijuana.

Alpha Phi shows love for Women’s Heart Health Adler Ingalsbe Reporter Alpha Phi is one of the numerous sororities at Indiana State University.

Alpha Phi was founded at ISU on May 9, 1964 and is currently made up of 78 women, of which 33 were picked as new members this year.

Kate Ash, president of the Alpha Phi, believes her women all have certain qualities and love the different things that they do.

“Sisterhood, service, scholarship, loyalty, leadership and character development are what make up the girls of Alpha Phi. It is a group of sorority women who inspire each other to be the best we can be. We are very passionate about our philanthropy, Women’s Heart Health,” Ash said. “[Alpha Phi is] very involved on campus. We participate in all Greek activities, play intramural sports, participate in other philanthropies, do community service, and host our own philanthropy events, to name a few,” Ash said.

Alpha Phi’s philanthropy deals with Women’s Heart Health.

“We host four philanthropy events each

year including: Eat Your Heart Out, Move Your Phi’t, Dodging Out Heart Disease and a Red Dress Gala,” Ash said. “All proceeds from events go to the Alpha Phi Foundation, which provides support for cardiac care research. Heart disease is the No. 1 killer of women across North America.”

Courtney Cripps, incoming chapter president of Alpha Phi, likes how the sorority becomes your second family.

“There are so many reasons why Alpha Phi means so much to me. It gives opportunities to its members by giving us leadership roles and offices within our individual chapter and with international programs like Emerging Leaders Institute,” Cripps said. “Despite these reasons that make me love my sorority so much, the top of that list would be that my sisters are my extended family.”

Sara Latini, a member of the Alpha Phi sorority, believes the women who surround her in the group have helped her become much more comfortable in her own skin.

“Being a member of Alpha Phi means surrounding myself with a group of inspiring, supportive and passionate young women. They have allowed me to

feel more confident with who I am, while encouraging me to strive to do better,” Latini said.

Leah Connolly, vice president of marketing for Alpha Phi, likes the knowledge she has gained while being in the sorority.

“Being a member of Alpha Phi means to me being a part of something and representing something bigger than just myself. It means being loyal to my chapter and sisters, being selfless and giving back to others and gaining strong friendships,

experiences, and life skills that will be [beneficial] to my future,” Connolly said.

Kayla Tudor, member of Alpha Phi, said being associated with this sorority means much more to her than just having friends to go out with on the weekends, it’s like having another family.

“Being a member of Alpha Phi means more than just going out on the weekend.

Being a member of this great organization is about being a family. I have truly found my home away from home,” Tudor said.

This means that the Sycamore Safe Zone program and the Office of Diversity are working together to provide a more welcoming and friendly atmosphere to the Indiana State’s LGBTQ community.

To do this, the Office of Diversity and the Sycamore Safe Zone program have created a series of Safe Zone workshops to give people who may not be part of the LBGTQ community, or even those who are, a chance to participate in the Sycamore Safe Zone.

Joel Phillips, the Sycamore Safe Zone program coordinator, wants to encourage people.

“The Safe Zone workshop is a one-hour workshop that encourages the exploration of personal and cultural identities, privilege, and what it means to be an Ally,” Phillips said.

“As Safe Zone graduate assistant, my goal is to provide educational

opportunities to student/staff/faculty and community members by attending a safe zone workshop. These workshops are open to anyone who wishes to attend and are free of charge.” Phillips said.

“The workshops are split into three levels because not many people have the time to attend a three-hour training and the goal is to reach as many people as possible. The Safe Zone Program relies heavily on our facilitators of our events and I would like to take them for volunteering their time to not only participate in the facilitator training but to facilitate the workshops,” Phillips said.

“Students, faculty and staff are able to attend safe zone workshops to gain more knowledge about the LGBT community,” Phillips said.

People can even become more involved in the Sycamore Safe Zone by becoming an Ally or a Facilitator.

A Sycamore Safe Zone Ally is someone who helps prevent discrimination by “being willing to act on behalf of, in support of or in coalition with someone else.” According to the Sycamore Safe Zone website.

A Sycamore Safe zone Facilitator is a graduate student, faculty, or staff member that will be trained to facilitate a Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3 workshop.

Phillips is excited about the potential of the Sycamore Safe Zone and the promotion of diversity on campus.

“Safe Zone means a lot to the ISU campus to show anyone, whether student, faculty, staff or potential student, that Indiana State welcomes you for who you are regardless of race, gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, and wants you to spend your time at ISU focusing on getting the best educational experience possible,” Phillips said.

Sycamore Diversity offers Safe Zone workshops

Nathan Kasper Reporter The Sycamore Safe Zone is offering several Safe Zone workshops on Nov. 13 and 18 in HMSU Room 227.

These workshops are free and open to all students, faculty, and staff at Indiana State University.

The Sycamore Safe Zone program coordinators try to schedule two or three workshops a month, but student groups have the option of requesting a workshop by visiting the Office of Diversity’s website and completing the request for presentation form.

According to their website, “The Sycamore Safe Zone is an ally development program created through the Office of Diversity to establish a campus that is safe and affirming for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and questioning [LGBTQ] students, faculty and staff.”

Environmental Science Club spruces up Terre Haute LIBBY ROERIG

ISU Communications and Marketing Three things Indiana State University is best known for — experiential learning, community service and trees — came together recently when students volunteered to beautify a Terre Haute neighborhood.

Jeffery Stone, assistant professor of environmental geosciences and advisor to the Environmental Science Club, teamed up with the city’s urban forester, Sherlye Dell, who was planning a tree-planting event in Edgewood Grove near Indiana State’s Memorial Stadium on Oct. 25.

Stone saw the opportunity for students to get some hands-on learning while participating in a community service project and started making necessary connections at the university, including Erika Smith, an environmental science major from Greenwood.

“The neighborhood was in a desperate need of trees,” Smith said. “The old trees

were dying out due to recent construction and old age.”

The neighborhood’s older residents, who aren’t able to plant new trees themselves, agreed to water and care for the trees. It requires three years of maintenance for a new tree to get established, Stone said.

“The trees in the neighborhood are not only for aesthetics, but serve a bigger purpose for Edgewood Grove,” said Natalie Erlenbaugh, a sophomore human and environmental systems major from Indianapolis. “Tree-lined streets are less prone to crime and auto theft, and the trees will reduce excess runoff into the streets after heavy rainfall.”

Of the 70 volunteers, about half were from Indiana State. The group planted more than 40 trees in three hours.

“In my neighborhood, I’m a little bit of a hero,” Stone said.

While Stone acted as a link from his neighborhood to the university, Smith was the connection to the students, he said.

She tapped the help of the Environmental

Science Club, as well as Greek Life.

“I learned about the amount of perseverance and determination it takes to plan an event as grand and magnificent as this. I also learned that people in the community are willing to come together to help out if it is a cause that affects and interests them,” Smith said. “This was

my first hands-on event working with the Terre Haute community outside of just Indiana State University, and I look forward to planning and help coordinating events in the future.”

Stone, too, said he anticipates future collaborations with the city and urban forestry department.

Students ready to ‘Take Back the Night’ Mariah Lee Reporter The annual Indiana State University Take Back the Night March will be held tonight.

Take Back the Night is a sexual violence awareness event sponsored by the Women’s Studies 450 class.

Donations for Take Back the Night will go to the Council on Domestic Abuse.

“Take Back the Night is an annual event put on at universities across the country to stop sexual violence and domestic violence,” said Katherine Fredlund, an assistant professor in the English department.

Holli Bell, senior criminology major, said that she is looking forward to the event.

“It’s to help people who have been victims of domestic violence and sexual assault so we are trying to take back the night for them and empower them and make them feel like they’re not alone” Bell said.

“Take Back the Night is going to be

educational and fun,” Fredlund said. “The resource fair will have organizations both on campus and off that deal with gender violence and sexual violence issues … students looking to volunteer would be able to find a place to do that students who are in need of support would find a number of people willing to support

them.”

A rally will take place in Dede I at 6:30.

“That’s when the fun starts,” Fredlund said.

There will be a guest speaker for Take Back the Night and students from the Women’s Studies class will be doing a slam poetry session.

Afterwards, Take Back the Night participants will march to end gendered violence and sexual violence.

“Although many people consider sexual violence a woman’s issue, sexual violence is an issue that everyone should care about,” Fredlund said.

Since the 1970s, Take Back the Night has focused on eliminating sexual and domestic violence in all forms.

Thousands of colleges, domestic violence shelters and rape crisis centers have held events all over the country.

Sarah Combs, a senior criminology major, said that people should come to Take Back the Night because it’s fun and educational.

“It’s going to be a great event. There is going to be slammed poetry and it’s going to be very fun and educational and it will help people on campus who have been victims, might be victims or maybe know victims.” Combs said.

Meet your meat: tour sheds light on animal cruelty Tyler Sanders Features Editor Each and every year, 10 billion land animals are killed for food in the United States alone.

A tour called 10 Billion Lives, put on by the Farm Animal Rights Movement, stopped by Indiana State University’s campus to educate students on meat industry practices that are often cruel to the animals.

Angie Fitzgerald, a 10 Billion Lives tour operator, wasn’t a vegan her entire life.

“When I was a little kid, I ate meat just like all the other families in the world.

As I grew up, I learned more about the process and effects it has on your body and decided to give it up,” Fitzgerald said.

Fitzgerald, who is from California, has been part of this organization for three years.

FARM puts on two other tours besides 10 Billion Lives.

“We are here to educate people on the

reality of the meat, milk and egg industries in this country,” Fitzgerald said.

The group has been all across the country.

“We want people to understand that animals feel pain just like humans and that they are not being treated properly,” Fitzgerald said. “The animals that people eat are not coming from Old McDonald’s farm, they are coming from horrible situations.”

We as people can limit the number of animals killed each year by not eating as much meat, Fitzgerald said.

One thing the 10 Billion Lives tour recommended doing is starting a nomeat Monday.

No Meat Monday is just what it sounds like — a day that is to be set aside where no meat is consumed.

“If we don’t buy as meat as the consumer, the stores will not need as much meat, which will cut down on the amount of animals killed,” Fitzgerald said.

Simon McNair, a junior theater major, already knew some things about animal cruelty in the meat industry.

“It is incredible what human cruelty is capable of,” McNair said.

“We don’t see them with minds and understanding because they don’t have the same level of intelligence as us,” McNair said. “We turn a blind eye to this because the cruelty is not against human beings.”

Doing research on your own can help to improve your mindset about this topic as well, Fitzgerald said.

“Animal cruelty is horrible and I am glad that there is a group like this to educate people,” McNair said.

Loren Hart, 10 Billion Lives tour assistant, is happy that he decided to join this organization.

He’s only participated for a year, but he hopes to raise awareness about the issue.

“We are just hoping to raise the awareness about animal lives on farms

and to encourage people to eat more vegan meals,” Hart said. “One thing that impressed me on this tour, is the amount of students who say they plan to change their habits and how receptive the students are,” The main thing that Hart is taking away from this experience is the inspiration.

“So many people have told us they are glad they saw this and are disappointed in what they saw and that is inspiring to me,” Hart said.

Pigs, cows, chickens and turkeys can all feel pain but every year more and more are brutally killed for food in the U.S. Each year, 12 billion hens and baby chicks, 51.4 billion chickens and turkeys, 1.2 billion pigs and 281 million cows and steers are killed each year to satisfy human’s demand for meat.

Sycamores sure to shine in upcoming season Rob Lafary Sports Editor

The Indiana State women’s basketball team has lost its top three scorers and head coach from a year ago, but the personnel on the floor remains all too familiar.

With former assistant coach Joey Wells grabbing the reins from former Sycamore success Teri Moren and seven seniors returning to the roster, the defending Missouri Valley Conference regular season champions and NIT participants are hungry for even more success during the 2014-2015 season after a 20-12 campaign during the 2013-2014 season.

“We have seven seniors but we lost a lot with our top three leading scorers gone,” Coach Wells said during ISU’s Media Day event on Nov. 3. “One of the big questions always is, how are we going to replace that? We have been trying to figure out how to do that and we feel like we have a handful of girls who can step up and do it. That’s very rewarding to see that we can do that and I’m excited for this team to show that.”

Departed seniors Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir and Anna Munn took their 14.2 and 12.2 points per game, respectively, when they graduated, while Marina Laramie’s 9.9 points a contest have transferred to East Carolina University, leaving the Sycamores with a bit of a juggling act. But that’s where the veteran status of several role players from a year ago comes in alongside a new batch of talent ready to make an immediate impact.

Racheal Mahan, a 6-1 senior forward, headlines a frontcourt that boasts seven different players over six feet tall. Mahan averaged 9.4 points and seven rebounds a

game during the 2013-2014 season while becoming the 21st member of the 500 Rebounding Club. Mahan also enters this year with a 64-game scoring streak.

Another post presence and senior teammate, 6-0 forward Jasmine Grier, started in the team’s final 12 games a year ago and is expected to make even larger contributions. Grier averaged just over five points a game and pulled down 3.3 rebounds per outing while shooting 38 percent from the three-point arc.

Her 21 points in the WNIT first round against Marquette last March ended her individual season a high note.

Expect 6-1 senior forward Chelsea Small to also be in the conversation of frontcourt threats. A transfer from American University, Small became eligible during the spring semester in 2014 and quickly adapted to the Sycamore way.

The Denver, Colorado native averaged 6.2 points and 4.8 rebounds per game in 24 contests, posting two double-doubles against Missouri Valley Conference foes Drake and Northern Iowa.

Indiana State’s greatest challenge could lie within its backcourt as most of the point production from the guard spots exited Terre Haute with the losses via graduation and transfer.

Natasha Zurek, a 5-9 senior guard, appeared in 30 games and started 10 of them last season but averaged just 1.9 points on 27 percent shooting from the field. The same could be said for 5-9 senior guard Stephanie Wittman who averaged 4.3 points in 25 games. Wittman though could be a potential perimeter threat as she 11-of-28 from three-point range for 39 percent.

Alexis Newbolt, a newcomer to the Indiana State squad could also play a factor as the season progresses. A 5-6 junior college transfer from Moberly Area Community College and Cincinnati, Newbolt was NJCAA All-America honorable mention selection last season, averaging 18.3 points, four rebounds and four assists per game. She scored six points in the Sycamores’ 72-39 exhibition win over the University of Southern Indiana this past weekend.

The Sycamores officially open the season this Friday at home against Midwest foe St. Louis and round out opening weekend action Sunday when they visit Butler at historic Hinkle Fieldhouse but the team that takes the floor the first couple of weeks may not resemble the team that

steps out onto the court during the latter part of December and during the MVC season. Coach Wells said health will be a big factor when the season opens up.

“We have 15 young ladies on our roster and on the first day of practice 13 of them were in uniform,” Wells said. “Since then, the most we have had in uniform is 11.

We have two big pieces of our team that are scheduled to get off the injured list in the middle to late part of December. With that being said, with the core group we have we still feel like we can go out and compete against a very tough schedule.”

Tipoff against the Billikens on Friday is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. at the Hulman Center. The game can be heard on WIBQ 1230 AM and watched through the Big East Digital Network.

How important is it to have seven seniors on this year’s team?

I think it’s real important. Leadership is really important on any team and us having seven seniors … it’ll be a challenge at times but the coaches look to us to lead the team. If that’s not done then it’ll be disappointing but it’ll be a challenge to impress the coaches and the team both.

How can the team step up in light of losing its top three leading scorers?

I’ve been put in this position before and I mean it’s not just me … it’s a lot of people on this team. We lost three scorers but at the same time we’ve got many on this team who can step up and score points.

We got girls who can step up and shoot; make the extra pass and rebound.

What are the expectations you have for yourself this season?

I just expect to go all out and have some fun and do what I’m capable of doing.

How much potential does this team have?

This team is as capable as hard as we work and I feel like we have a hard working group of individuals all-around.

I feel like we have a group of people who understand their role and are ready to play that role. The expectations from others may differ from how we see them so we have to come out and work as hard as possible.

First-year Sycamore coach Joey Wells believes the team will still be able to succeed even with losing three top scorers (Photo by ISU Communications and Marketing).

One-on-one with Sycamore senior Racheal Mahan

Rob Lafary Sports Editor How excited are you to start the 20142015 season?

It’s been set in but I’m excited because this is my last year. We’ve got a good group of people here and we’ve got Coach Wells back so I think it is pretty exciting. In the polls we didn’t get predicted as high as we thought we would so we just got to come out and show people what we are capable of being.

Season schedule highlights 2014-15 must-see games Jeremy Beaver Reporter Last season, the Sycamores went for an amazing 20-12 record. The Lady Sycamores went 14-4 in conference play and were knocked out of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament in the second round after a 58-66 loss to Drake. However, with the amazing season the Sycamores had, there are still some games that could have helped their season that they hope to redeem this season.

Friday, vs. Saint Louis Billikins The Sycamores will host the Billikins in their season-opener this upcoming Friday. Coming off of a big exhibition win, 72-39, against Southern Indiana this past Friday, the Sycamores have a lot of energy going into the game against Saint Louis. The season-opening game is always a critical game because it can really set the tone for the season.

Sunday, at Butler Bulldogs At one point, the Bulldogs were

nobodies when it came to the sport of basketball. However, in recent years, Butler has become a decent team when it comes to basketball. The Sycamores pulled out a 62-56 win against the Bulldogs last year.

Sunday, Nov. 30, at Indiana Hoosiers The Sycamores travel to Bloomington later this month to take on Indiana rival IU. It’s no question that, when it comes to basketball, IU is one of the most dominant teams in both men’s and women’s. Last season the Hoosiers finished with a 21-13 overall record and were knocked out in the fourth round of the NIT tournament. A win over the Hoosiers would most certainly help the Sycamores make a name for themselves in the women’s basketball division.

Thursday, Dec. 4, at IUPUI Jaguars The Lady Sycamores take on the Jaguars in Indianapolis just three days after taking on IU in Bloomington.

IUPUI pulled out a four-point win last season against the Sycamores. A

redemption win against Butler, IU and IUPUI would all be a great boost for the Sycamores.

Friday, Jan. 2, at Wichita State Shockers The Sycamores kick off their conference play against the Shockers and look to keep their record in the Missouri Valley conference as high as last season’s. Last season, the Sycamores split the series against Wichita State — first losing 83-63 and then winning by 63-51. Conference games are always important in determining where the Sycamores will be placed in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament.

Sunday, Jan. 9, vs. Bradley Braves Indiana State takes on the Bradley Braves in early January in the first conference home game of the season.

Last season, the Lady Sycamores defeated Bradley by 13 points in both meets. Indiana State hopes to repeat last year’s sweep against the Braves by taking a win at home.

Sunday, Jan. 11, vs. Loyola Ramblers Indiana State will be playing their second conference game in a row at the Hulman Center against Loyola just three days after playing Bradley. The Sycamores went 1-1 last season against the Ramblers. However, they picked up the tiebreaker against Loyola when the Sycamores beat them in the first round of the Missouri Valley Conference, knocking the Ramblers out of the tournament.

Friday, Jan. 23, vs. Drake Bulldogs A big competitor in the Missouri Valley conference, Drake will take on the Sycamores at the Hulman Center for the Sycamores third conference home game of the season. The Sycamores also swept the Bulldogs in the regular season.

However, the Sycamores are looking for redemption after the Bulldogs won the important game beating the Sycamores 66-58 in the second round of the Missouri Valley Conference tournament, knocking the Sycamores out.

Attendance woes an advantage for foes

Alex Modesitt Editor-in-Chief

If the Indiana State women’s basketball team plays a game inside the Hulman Center, but no one goes to watch it, did it really happen?

Of course it really happens, but it’s apparent that many ISU students and residents of Terre Haute don’t care that they have a team playing down the street that was the best team in the conference during the regular season and was a fraction of a second away from winning a classic first-round matchup against Marquette in the WNIT. I know these things because I was there.

I know that you weren’t there because night after night the whole building was near-empty.

Take the WNIT game, for example.

Possibly one of the biggest games women’s hoops at ISU has ever hosted, certainly the biggest in town last year, and only 1,130 of you could even bother yourself enough to crawl out of whatever hole you were in to support your hometown team.

Think I’m being a little dramatic? Fine, let’s look at the Lady Sycamores’ game against Drake. I’ll give you a hint; the attendance was between 249 and 251. Did you guess that 250 people from a school of 13,000 students and a metropolitan area of 61,000 showed up to the game?

If you did, then congratulations, you’re smarter than President Obama’s foreign policy advisor.

The Hulman Center seats 10,200, so for

The Hulman Center is shown with very minimal attendance for an Indiana State University women’s basketball game (Photo by ISU Communications and Marketing).

those of you keeping track at home, the Drake game filled a whopping 2.5 percent of the seats. Or to take it a step further, if everyone was spaced out equally, there was one person for every 40.8 seats. Still don’t believe me? OK, the seats at the Hulman Center are approximately 22 inches wide, so again, if everyone were spaced out evenly at the Drake game, your nearest neighbor to your left or to your right would have been a cozy 74 feet away.

It would be pretty hard to share popcorn from that far, wouldn’t it?

By now you probably agree that ISU’s attendance numbers for women’s

basketball are as ugly as a Rose-Hulman grad, but surely the defending conference champion’s numbers are better than most of the teams in the Missouri Valley Conference, right? Wrong.

Raw attendance numbers can be deceiving. Counting people at the door is all well and good, but if you have 2,000 people in a 20,000-seat arena, it won’t feel as full as say, 1,500 people in a 5,000seat arena. That’s why I base my MVC attendance rankings on a statistic I call Percent of Arena Filled — or PAF. PAF measures how full a stadium seems. Like the illustration earlier, it

spaces everyone out equally and measures the concentration of attendees, only in this case a high number is better than a low. Essentially saying that no matter the raw attendance numbers, 10 people in 20 seats is always better than 1,000 people in 2,500 seats.

Indiana State comes in at fifth place in the MVC for women’s basketball with a PAF rating of 22.12. This translates to roughly 1 person for every 5 seats. This doesn’t seem bad, but when you see that Drake, the fifth-best team in the Missouri Valley Conference last season, had a PAF rating of 34.34, 12 percentage points better than the conference-champion Sycamores, it puts into perspective how poor ISU’s attendance has been.

Women’s basketball may not be the most glamorous sport on campus, but the young women who comprise ISU’s basketball team deserve a lot more support than what they’re currently getting from this university and the Terre Haute community.

Teams should dread coming to the Hulman Center, knowing full well that a rabid fan base is ready and willing to scream, shout and cheer their team to victory. They should fear The Forest, knowing that nothing is going to come easy when they’re on offense on the north side of the arena, staring into a crazed student section.

Unfortunately, that’s not reality. Instead, we have trees in the Hulman Center, with no one there to see them rise or fall.

Indiana State University honors veterans

Indiana State University commemorated Veteran’s Day on Tuesday by observing the Nationwide Minute of Silence, the reading of the names of Indiana’s fallen soldiers, as well as a wreath-laying ceremony. ISU also showed the “Lone Survivor” Tuesday evening (Photos by Larry Garland).
