Polls, popularity not as influential in student votes Miguel Lewis Reporter

Election fever is in the air, and discussions of political awareness are on the rise. However, college students may not be as knowledgeable as they think they are.

A University of Nebraska survey suggests that students nationwide are not familiar with all of the candidates running. Frequently mentioned names include Donald Trump and Ben Carson.

When asked whether or not their decision could be swayed by candidate’s popularity, nearly every student responded by saying that their decision would not be based on how the polls were going, that they felt as though they were aware enough, or that they would go to their parents for advice.

At Indiana State University, students seemed to be in the same situation, with varied responses.

Senior safety management major Rodney Trigg had a statement similar to those from students of Nebraska.

“Voting is a big issue to press when it comes to college students and youth in general,” Trigg said. “Nowadays, young people everywhere are either going to vote or they aren’t, but I think that decision should be left to each individual. … Personally, I don’t think my selection will be influenced (by a candidate’s popularity).”

Students who do not consider themselves politically aware are typically unlikely to participate in the voting process.

Senior business administration major Blake Bures said he believes voting is a way for people’s opinions to be heard.

“I believe that voting is important.” Bures said. “Especially if you feel that you want to be heard. In my opinion, anyone who does not vote should not complain about anything pertaining to presidency if they did not make an effort or conscious decision to ensure that their voice is heard.”

Study finds cold medicines ineffective Nevia Buford

Assistant News Editor

Americans spend $8 billion a year on over-the-counter medicines.

But a recent study showed that over-the-counter cold medicines are not as effective as they are thought to be.

According to an article found on CBSnews.com, phenylephrine hydrochloride, an ingredient found in some OTC nasal treatment medicines, was not very effective in relieving the symptoms it was supposed to.

Dr. Donna Crawford, an assistant professor in the Department of Nursing at Indiana State University, said OTC medicines used to treat cough symptoms were not very effective either.

She also said that cough medicines can also be harmful to small children.

“The FDA has suggested they not be given to young children anymore, and part of it was because children were getting too

much of it and ending up in the emergency rooms, but then they just found that it wasn’t really that effective,” Crawford said.

Crawford recommends more natural remedies for cough symptoms.

“You can use hard candy, sipping tea or hot beverages,” she said.

Crawford also said that there are some medicines that help with cold symptoms, such as Tylenol.

But she also said that too much of the drug can be harmful and can cause permanent liver damage.

Crawford said that a lot of medicines, including cold medicines, contain Tylenol or acetaminophen, the generic name of the product.

“Tylenol’s problematic because it’s in so many medications. It’s in hundreds of medications,” Crawford said. “It’s important to read the labels because some of the cold products, for sleep

or to stay awake in the daytime, some of those have Tylenol mixed in them, and you should not have more than 3 to 4 grams of Tylenol in a 24-hour period; it damages the liver.”

Because acetaminophen is in so many medications, it is possible that people are taking too much of it at times.

“It’s quite common actually.

People do that just by accident.

They have a cold so they’re taking two or three different products and they don’t realize that they’re overdosing,” Crawford said.

Both the article from CBS News and Crawford said that OTC cold medicines were effective in the past because of an ingredient that is no longer in the products called pseudoephedrine.

According to the article, “Pseudoephedrine was being abused by people who bought it in bulk to process into meth, so in 2005 a federal law was passed adding new restrictions on its

sale.”

Crawford said pseudoephedrine purchases are carefully tracked.

“Because of the potential for that abuse, of buying products with pseudoephedrine, now they’re sold from behind the counter, and you have to have an ID if you want to buy anything with pseudoephedrine, and that’s tracked across the state. We’re each limited to a certain amount we can buy every month,” Crawford said.

Students on campus have mixed feelings about OTC medicines, and not everyone uses them.

Dailan Lewis, a freshman communication major, said, “I feel like it (cough medicine) does (work) for a little bit, but not for long.”

Kherrion Winburn, a freshman psychology major, said he doesn’t use OTC medications.

“Normally it’s a cold, so I just let it take its place,” Winburn said.

“The Claire Play” made its debut in Indiana State University’s New Theater Wednesday, featuring Maverick Schmit, a senior theater major, as ‘Devon, Cowboy and Man,’ and Annalyce Winkler, a freshman theater major with an acting concentration, as the titular ‘Claire.’ The play, written by Reina Hardy and directed by Julie Dixon, associate professor of theater, features visits from historical characters such as Greek playwright Aristophanes, astronomer Johannes Kepler and Harvard star computer Henrietta Swan Leavitt.

The set design was inspired by an 18th-century orrery, or model of the solar system.

Elite colleges look to support first-generation students Arianna Skibell

The Hechinger Report (TNS)

NORTHAMPTON, Mass.

— Audrey Olmos-Govea sat in her first sociology class at Smith College and couldn’t believe what she had just heard.

As she remembers it, a guest lecturer turned to the class and said: “You understand, you’ve all been to Europe, right?”

Olmos-Govea watched most of her classmates nod in agreement, and at that moment experienced the culture shock she’d been warned about. The Pomona, California, native had flown only once, for a collegesponsored tour. Europe was out of the question in her home; she is the first in her family to attend college, and the $15,000 a year her mother earns working as a balloon artist is the family’s sole income.

Her hand shot up in the air.

“I haven’t been to Europe,” she said. “My family didn’t take vacations. I worked every summer.”

The lecturer turned beet red and apologized. Olmos-Govea felt embarrassed. “I thought, what have I done?” she recalled recently. “I’ve just isolated myself in this small group of people. But after the fact, I knew it was the right thing to do.”

By the time she arrived on the idyllic New England cam-

pus with just two suitcases and a backpack (her roommate’s belongings required two cars), Olmos-Govea, who is MexicanAmerican, already had overcome tremendous odds that set her apart from the majority of first-generation students, who are more likely to be found at community colleges. Now a junior, she came from a town where 38 percent of residents over 25 did not graduate high school; the majority don’t speak English at home. A mentor encouraged her to apply to Smith, a top private all-women college with a combined annual cost of $63,950, not including books.

A generous financial aid and scholarship package made it possible.

In recent years, though, a growing number of costly, selective four-year institutions are trying to help high-achieving first-generation students such as Olmos-Govea survive and thrive. Nationally, just 31.6 percent of first-generation low-income students (and 47.8 percent of low-income nonfirst-generation students) who enroll in a four-year college will graduate within six years, according to the most recent data from the Pell Institute. Those in the bottom income quartile, like Olmos-Govea, have only a 9 percent chance of graduating by age 24.

At Smith, where 19 percent of this year’s freshmen are firstgeneration students, efforts include a designated orientation program that encourages them to connect and learn about campus resources before classes begin.

Many of these colleges — among them Amherst, Hamilton and Franklin & Marshall, and some large public universities — are recognizing the array of challenges that keep first-generation students from graduating. In addition to financial strain, such students may be less prepared for the demanding course loads, have difficulty navigating the complicated college system and be afraid of asking for help.

“Last year I was talking to a student who was homesick.

I started talking to her like I would any other homesick student,” said Marge Litchford, assistant dean of students at Smith and founder of their first-generation orientation program. “But then I realized she wasn’t going to see her parents for the whole year because she couldn’t afford to fly home. And they couldn’t fly to visit her because they were undocumented.”

Over Labor Day weekend in Northampton, about 12 new Smithies sat in a circle inside a small green house, listening to Smith President Kathleen Mc-

Cartney recount her own experiences as the first in her family to go to college. McCartney said her guidance counselor declined to write her a letter for Dartmouth, instead encouraging her to apply to local state colleges.

Because Tufts University was around the corner, McCartney applied and was accepted.

She described the struggle of living at home and working part-time while taking classes.

After her talk, one student asked whether the group could take a photo with the president.

“I could tweet it out,” McCartney said to enthusiastic agreement. “What should it say?”

Students volunteered suggestions, and they decided on: “Hanging with my people @ smithcollege #FirstGenSmithies” Angel Perez, vice president of enrollment and student success at Trinity College in Connecticut, said he sees more support and acceptance for first-generation students now than when he graduated from Skidmore in 1998.

“When I went to college I don’t know that I would have broadcast that I was a firstgeneration college student, or even fully understood what that meant,” said Perez, who grew up in the South Bronx. “I’m just so shocked that students are willing to talk about it so freely.”

Smith’s Angela Lool, a chemistry major from Los Angeles, said there are still difficult situations that unfold “behind the scenes” that she keeps to herself.

For example, her parents don’t speak English, so it’s up to her to complete all financial aid forms every year.

“My parents see that I get frustrated and then my mom starts crying and she says, ‘I’m sorry, I can’t.’ And then my dad tries to calm me down. Sometimes it ends bad because we just start yelling at each other,” Lool said.

“I know it’s hard for them because they can’t understand. We get through it, but it’s hard.”

Overall, first-generation students are hardly well represented at competitive fouryear institutions. A University of Michigan study found that when looking at the bottom half of income earners, only 14 percent of their children attend the most selective colleges. A mere 5 percent of those from the lowest income quartile attend elite schools. There are exceptions: In California, nearly half of freshmen in the UC system this fall are among the first in their family to earn a degree, University of California data show.

Obama rejects Keystone pipeline Sean Cockerham

McClatchy Washington Bureau (TNS)

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama on Friday rejected the Keystone XL pipeline, moving to bolster his environmental legacy after reviewing for seven years what has become the nation’s most heated political dispute over climate change, jobs and energy development.

The decision was largely based on international politics, coming less than a month before the president goes to Paris for global climate talks. Obama has been pressing other nations to act on climate change and said approving the pipeline “would have undercut that global leadership.”

Obama has become far more assertive on environmental issues in his second term, and the decision will be a key part of his legacy as he prepares to leave office after next year’s presidential election.

His rejection of the pipeline may not mean the long national debate over Keystone is over, though.

TransCanada, the company seeking to build the pipeline, said it is considering reapplying for the presidential permit.

The success of a new application would depend on who is in the White House.

All the major Republican candidates running for president support Keystone, while Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders oppose the project.

“Today, misplaced symbolism was chosen over merit and science — rhetoric won out over reason,” TransCanada CEO Russ Girling wrote in a statement.

Speaking from the Roosevelt Room in the White House, Obama said Friday that he rejected the pipeline after Secretary of State John Kerry told him the State De-

partment review had determined that it was not in the national interest.

“The pipeline would not make a meaningful long-term contribution to our economy,” Obama said. “Shipping dirtier crude oil into our country would not increase America’s energy security.”

Keystone was expected to create thousands of construction jobs, but only about 35 permanent jobs.

Obama’s decision brought an immediate backlash from business groups and Republicans, with GOP presidential candidate Jeb Bush tweeting that “the Obama Admin’s politically motivated rejection of the Keystone XL Pipeline is a self-inflicted attack on the U.S. economy and jobs.”

Obama said the political debate on the merits of the Keystone pipeline had become “overinflated.”

“All of this obscured the fact that this pipeline would neither be a silver bullet for the economy, as was promised by some, nor the express lane to climate disaster proclaimed by others,” he said.

The State Department’s review, which attracted nearly 5 million public comments, concluded that the 800,000-barrel-a-day pipeline would have little impact on greenhouse gas emissions or the economy. State Department officials said the international perception, though, would have been that approving Keystone was inconsistent with U.S. leadership on climate change.

Kerry said the critical factor in his determination that allowing the pipeline was not in the national interest was the consideration that “moving forward with this project would significantly undermine our ability to continue leading the world in combating climate change.”

The pipeline was proposed to run 1,179

Using hands-free devices while driving just as dangerous Morgan Gallas Reporter

Using a phone while driving is dangerous even when hands-free.

A study found that hands-free devices used while driving are as unsafe as texting and driving.

According to USA Today, “a study by the Texas Transportation Institute released in April … found that texting while driving using a voice-to-text application was just as dangerous as texting manually.”

Texting and driving has never been a safe practice; however, people still do it because they see the risk as being separated from them.

Dr. DeVere Woods, the chair of the Criminology department at Indiana State University, explained why people separate themselves from the risks.

“Most people do not really understand, appreciate or consider the risk,” Woods said. “It is too remote. It won’t happen to them.”

People find instant gratification in sending and receiving text messages, which is why they continue to text and drive.

“They likely have successfully texted while driving many times before, so the danger is not real to them,” Woods said. “In many ways, we are substituting technology for human interaction.”

Communicating through technology is a fairly new way of staying in contact with people, and it has completely changed the communication structure. “(Texting) is more self-centered,” Woods said. “We lose the visual cues and body language of traditional conversations and interpret the words we receive through our own limited perspective.”

Dr. Virgil Sheets, chair of the Department of Psychology at ISU, said technology expands commu-

nication by putting communication over safety.

“People are more important to us than other things in our environment, (such as) the other cars on the road,” Sheet said. “Risk is an abstract quality that we don’t process well. Even if we ‘know’ the fact that there is risk, the risk for us, answering that text right now, today, is infinitely small and will impact our perception.”

A major part of the problem is that people assume they are great drivers.

“This situation derives from some common myths,” Woods said. “Most people think of themselves as good drivers, while in reality most American drivers are low-skilled and undisciplined.

Speeds on the German Autobahn can be less regulated because Autobahn drivers tend to be more disciplined and often higherskilled.”

Another problem is that people assume they can multitask while driving.

“Propelling a motor vehicle down the street is reasonably easy,” Woods said. “Good driving — where you anticipate problems before they happen, detect a loss of traction before it is obvious, or regain control after an unexpected problem — requires skill and concentration.”

Driving is not any easy task because there are so many factors that factor into it.

“People can only concentrate on one thought at a time,” Woods said. “Safely maneuvering a 3,000-pound vehicle though congested traffic requires concentration. Anything that impedes a driver’s concentration becomes a threat.”

In Indiana, it is illegal for any person under 21 years of age to drive while using a phone — hands-free or otherwise.

miles from the Western Canada oil sands in Alberta to refineries in Texas. Environmental groups seized on government estimates that the Canadian oil results in 17 percent more planet-warming carbon emissions than other sources of oil.

Newly elected Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau expressed disappointment over Obama’s rejection of the pipeline but said the decision would not damage ties between the countries.

“We are disappointed by the decision but respect the right of the United States to make the decision,” he said.

The decision will have little impact on energy markets. The world has changed dramatically in the seven years since the pipeline was first proposed. Skyrocketing U.S. oil production helped create a global supply glut that sent oil prices plummeting, threatening the viability of expensive Canadian oil sands projects and raising questions about the need for the pipeline.

Other pipelines have been approved in the meantime and energy companies, tired of waiting for Keystone to be approved, increasingly have turned to rail as an alternative for shipping oil.

Keystone nevertheless remained a political obsession for Republicans, who used it as an emblem of development, and environmentalists, who made the project a test of resolve on climate change.

Congress this year passed a bill seeking to force Obama to approve the pipeline, but the president vetoed the bill.

“It’s become painfully clear that the president is more interested in appeasing deep-pocketed special interests and extremists than helping tens of thousands of Americans who could have benefited from Keystone’s good jobs,” Senate Ma-

Millions vote in Myanmar’s first free election since 1990 Stuart Leavenworth

McClatchy Washington Bureau (TNS)

IRRAWADDY DELTA, Myanmar — Ever since this country’s military nullified the result of the 1990 general election and put the winner, Aung San Suu Kyi, under house arrest, millions in Myanmar have waited for the day when they could put Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy in power.

That day may have arrived. Voters by the millions on Sunday flocked to polling stations, by foot, bus, taxi and bicycle in the cities, and in long-tail boats in the labyrinth of channels known as the Irrawaddy Delta.

Enthusiasm was high for the country’s first contested general election in a quarter century.

“I am very excited,” said May Thinzar Cho, a resident of Pandaing Village who was voting for the first time. “This is very important day for my country. I want to help bring about change.”

Final results of the election may not be known for several days, and the military could thwart the outcome.

Still, there was a sense Sunday that the voting was being carried out in a credible manner and would be honored by the current government.

“In the last election (2010), there was some manipulation,” said Tin Moe Khing, a resident of Toe Nayi village, an Irrawaddy town with about 2,000 people. “This time we hope it will be a fair vote.”

Myanmar’s path to democracy has been ill-starred since the man considered the nation’s founder, Aung San, was assassinated six months before the British granted what was then known as Burma its independence in 1948.

The opportunity to overturn the 1990 arrest of his daughter, now known as “Mother Suu,” was a major factor for many of Sunday’s voters.

Daw Hywe Yi, a tailor in Toe Nayi, said her neighbors support Aung San Suu Kyi because she visited the village back in 1989, and also because she is Aung San’s daughter.

“Back in 2010, we voted for the lion,” said Daw Htwe Yi, referring to the symbol of the ruling party, the Union Solidarity and Development Party. “But not much has changed since 2010, so this year we are voting for the star and peacock” — the symbol of Suu Kyi’s National League for Democracy.

Toe Nayi village is about 30 miles west of Yangon, the capital. A small motorcycle track connects this village to the outside world, but nearly all basic provisions must be brought in by boat.

The villagers are poor, many living in thatched stilt houses and subsisting on fishing and farming.

They have no household electricity, other than the car batteries that run their television sets.

Recently, villagers said, the USDP helped bring solar panels to many households, allowing them to have electric lights for the first time.

Despite that largesse, few people could be found Sunday who supported “the lion.”

Those who voted for the USDP in the 2010 general election said they had done so only because Suu Kyi’s party was not on the ballot. USDP boycotted the election for being rigged.

Turnout was strong in Toe Nayi.

About 670 of 1,100 registered voters cast ballots by noon, and Daw Zar Zar Than, a local elections official and

school headmaster, said she expected a surge in the afternoon, when a rise in delta tides would make it easier for people from surrounding villages to boat over and cast ballots.

“People are really enthusiastic to vote, and I am happy to see that,” she said. “They know they have the chance to choose their next leader.”

There’s a possibility those hopes might be dashed. Under Myanmar’s Constitution, written by the former military junta, Suu Kyi can’t be chosen as president, since her two sons hold British passports.

And though she has said she will serve “above the president” if the NLD wins, her party would need to get 67 percent of the seats in Parliament to rule outright.

If they get less, the ruling party of President Thein Sein might be able to cobble together a coalition to choose the next president, possibly Thein Sein himself.

In Yangon, an epicenter of support for Aung San Suu Kyi, lines stretched down a city block Sunday morning as people prepared to cast ballots in the city’s Dagon Township.

Some showed up an hour before the polls opened at 6 a.m.

Yin Htwe, who works at a cafe in Yangon’s People’s Park, was bussed over to the polls by her employer, along with dozens of fellow employees.

At 8:30, she could be seen standing ramrod-straight in line, clutching her purse and smartphone, anxious to cast her ballot.

“I am very happy,” she said.

“I finally have a chance to vote!”

Expectations that Obama was going to reject the Keystone application grew in recent weeks.

TransCanada this week asked the State Department to pause its review of the project — a strategy that could have pushed a decision to the next president.

But the Obama administration refused.

Environmental groups were ecstatic when Obama announced Friday that he

Franklin & Marshall, where some 17 percent of this year’s freshmen class are firstgeneration students, expects 87 percent will graduate within six years — the same as the general population. At Amherst College, 17 percent of this year’s freshmen class is first generation and 94 percent are expected to graduate within six years — not far from the 96 percent rate overall.

Some of the efforts come at a time of increased attention to first-generation students, from federal and state policymakers, foundations and President Barack Obama’s push, along with first lady Michelle Obama’s Reach Higher initiative and the “I’m First” video she released in 2014 describing her own firstgeneration experience at Princeton.

was rejecting Keystone.

“That gives him new stature as an environmental leader, and it eloquently confirms the five years and millions of hours of work that people of every kind put into this fight,” said Bill McKibben, founder of the climate group 350.org.

Sen. Barbara Boxer of California, the top Democrat on the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee, also praised the decision, saying the pipeline “would have brought the filthiest oil known to humankind into our country in large amounts.”

Obama’s decision represents a singular

All efforts matter, said Richard D. Kahlenberg, a senior fellow at The Century Foundation.

“I still think it’s important what small liberal arts colleges do to improve socioeconomic diversity because our leadership class disproportionately comes from a fairly small set of selective four-year colleges,” Kahlenberg said. “Our democracy is stronger if more of our leaders have experienced firsthand the struggles that come with having grown up in a family where the parents haven’t gone to college.”

At Smith, where the orientation program began five years ago, officials say graduation rates for first-generation students have been consistent over the past 10 years: 86 percent in four years. Litchford said the program is aimed mostly at increasing their sense of belonging and empowerment, and Lool — who took advantage of Smith’s first-generation orienta-

moment for the nation’s environmental movement, as what began as a fringe effort to stop a little-known project seized the international stage.

The Obama administration took seven years to decide on Keystone.

The timing of Friday’s announcement is significant, both because of upcoming climate talks in Paris and the political cover offered by low gasoline prices.

While the State Department concluded Keystone would not impact gasoline prices, the public might be less forgiving of a president who blocks a high-profile energy project at the same time drivers

tion — said that if the program weren’t there, she’d probably be ashamed of revealing that her parents didn’t go to college.

“It made me feel like you’re not alone. It’s OK to be first generation,” she said. “When I talk to my parents or anyone back home about college, they’re really proud of me. And when they feel proud of me, I feel proud of myself.”

Perez of Trinity wants students to know that it’s OK to ask for help. “Often students who are first generation become almost terrified because they feel like maybe everyone around them knows something that they don’t,” he said. Sometimes, he added, “the best support can sometimes come from students themselves.”

“Today, we’re continuing to lead by example,” Obama said, announcing his decision to reject the project, “because ultimately, if we’re gonna prevent large parts of this Earth from becoming not only inhospitable but uninhabitable in our lifetimes, we’re going to have to keep some fossil fuels in the ground rather than burn them and release more dangerous pollution into the sky.” ©2015 McClatchy Washington Bureau.

booth, a woman told Emily — who like her sister is attending Smith with financial aid and scholarship help — that she owed a balance of more than $2,000 for Smith’s health insurance, on top of a late fee.

“I saw Emily’s face fall and turn red when the woman accused us of not paying on time,” Olmos-Govea said. “It was nerve-wracking. It’s just as an example of how scary this whole process can be for people like Emily and I who have no clue how to navigate this stuff.”

The sisters explained that they qualify for that fee to be waived, and they had submitted the paperwork a month before. The woman confirmed that Smith had made the error. But before Emily signed a document stating that all the paperwork was in order, Olmos-Govea asked the woman to write a note confirming they didn’t owe any money.

The discomfort Olmos-Govea felt as a new student at Smith has been eclipsed by newfound confidence. And Smith has learned lessons as well; spokeswoman Stacey Schmeidel said in a statement that she was glad Olmos-Govea spoke up honestly in her freshman year, and she hoped that it helped shape classroom discussion.

“Being here,” Olmos-Govea said, “has taught me how to handle myself in those situations. It hasn’t made me any less scared. But Smith has taught me to question. ... It’s up to me to voice what I’m feeling and advocate for myself. Because nobody else is going to do it.”

ISU, Terre Haute community to remember Holocaust in weeklong event Meghan Hayes Reporter

One of the most violent nights against Jewish people happened on Nov. 9, 1938.

Many Nazis in Germany and Austria torched hundreds of synagogues and ruined over 7,000 Jewish businesses and demolished Jewish cemeteries, hospitals, schools and homes.

Dozens of Jewish people were killed and many others were injured in what later became known as Kristallnacht — “The Night of Broken Glass” — for all of the glass shattered during that night.

The morning after, around 30,000 men were arrested and sent to concentration camps.

This is seen as a turning point in the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany.

In remembrance, Indiana State University and the Terre Haute community have hosted a week of lectures, music, dramatic performances, exhibits and films for Indiana State students and the surrounding area to experience, called “Night of Broken Glass: Remembering the Holocaust.”

Events will be held each day from Nov. 9-14, at ISU and around Terre Haute.

Brad Venable, associate professor in the Department of Art and Design who had a hand in this week’s preparation, said he hopes that “those in attendance will have a greater appreciation for, and knowledge of the Holocaust ... and that what they experience by attending will broaden their perspective to see the current events in the world in a new light,

Alexandra Cousteau to speak at Indiana State Alexandra Cousteau will speak at Indiana State University’s Tilson Auditorium at 7 p.m. Nov. 18 as part of the 2015-16 University Speakers Series.

Cousteau, a National Geographic “emerging explorer,” filmmaker and globally recognized advocate on water issues, continues the work of her renowned grandfather, JacquesYves Cousteau, and her father Philippe Cousteau Sr. She has mastered the remarkable storytelling tradition handed down to her and has the unique ability to inspire audiences on the weighty issues of policy, politics and action.

Cousteau is dedicated to advocating the importance of conservation and sustainable management of water in order to preserve a healthy planet.

She seeks to inspire and empower individuals to protect not only the ocean and its inhabitants, but also the human communities that rely on freshwater resources.

Born into the family business, Cousteau joined her parents in Easter Island on her first expedition at just four months old.

By the age of three, she had toured Africa, exploring Egypt, Tunisia, Uganda and Kenya in the arms of her father. And like her father, she is one of the few who learned to scuba dive with Captain Cousteau himself at the tender age of seven.

It is against this backdrop that Cousteau weaves the romance of adventure and discovery into a modern call for action. Fluent in English, French and Spanish, she is rapidly building a significant global audience of her own.

By coupling traditional media tours and film with social media platforms, Cousteau has helped non-government organizations as well as government and corporateled water programs engage record audiences for action.

Indiana State University aviation students got a glimpse of their potential future when ExpressJet, the world’s largest regional airline, brought one of its planes to the university’s Flight Academy at Terre Haute International Airport.

For three hours, students had the opportunity to examine the Bombardier CRJ200 from nose to tail and ask questions of pilots, flight attendants and maintenance staff who traveled with the plane.

Students spent the most time checking out the flight deck and its sophisticated electronics.

“This is a wonderful opportunity to meet with professionals in the industry and get their opinions, see what it’s really about, get to play around and walk about the aircraft,” said Kevin Geiser, a freshman professional flight technology major from Schererville who said he “fell in love” with aviation when he visited a local airport as a Cub Scout.

“It makes me remember why I want to become a professional pilot in the first place,” said Colton Hooper, a professional aviation and supply chain management major. “Flying in a tiny two-seater plane can get a little boring at times, but then when you get to see what the final end product will be it’s a great opportunity.”

Darrin Greubel, a 1991 Indiana State aviation graduate who has been with ExpressJet for more than 20 years, noted that the airline has agreements with ISU and other colleges and universities to offer conditional employment

to graduates who meet certain requirements.

“We create a pathway where the young person can go to school, perform well and build flight time. When they graduate, they’ve got a job waiting for them,” Greubel said. “That’s a big deal for the students, a big deal for the school and a big deal for the parents, who often make a big investment in their student’s education.”

Greubel said ExpressJet, which has 8,500 employees and operates planes for American, Delta and United airlines, regularly visits partner flight schools as a way to give back to education as well as build a pool of potential future employees.

Courtney Madden, manager of corporate communications and culture for ExpressJet, said students interviewed while still in school are partnered with existing pilots who graduated from their school who are dubbed “EPIC Ambassadors,” the acronym standing for “ExpressJet Pilots Inspiring Careers.”

“These are pilots, not recruiters, and students can reach out to them, ask questions, learn a little bit about the airline line, have someone in the industry they can talk to,” Madden said.

EPIC ambassadors “can write a letter of recommendation and students build a great networking connection to the industry,” she added.

Indiana State aviation graduates can expect a great future with ExpressJet, Greubel said.

“When we hire pilots from Indiana State, they are successful with our company. They perform, they are welltrained and have a great education,” he said.

Wednesday wreath-laying ceremony to celebrate Indiana, ISU veterans Michael Jiles Reporter

“On this Veterans Day of 1961, on this day of remembrance, let us pray in the name of those who have fallen in this country’s war and most especially, who have fallen in the first World War and in the second World War, that there will be no Veterans of any further war; not because all shall have perished, but because all shall have learned to live together in peace.”

- John F Kennedy Wednesday, Nov. 11 is Veterans Day, a holiday celebrated by honoring those who have served in branches of the United States Armed Forces, including the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and the Coast Guard.

These extraordinary people are the ones we call veterans. Because people tend to get the two confused, it is important to understand that Veterans Day is not the same as Memorial Day. Veterans Day is a day for celebrating all U.S. military veterans, “while Memorial Day is a day of remembering the men and women who gave their lives and those who perished while in service,” said John F. Kennedy.

Along with that, one should also know about wreath-laying ceremonies. A wreath-laying ceremony is the gift of flowers arranged and fastened in a ring to be laid on the graves of fallen soldiers.

This Veterans Day, Indiana State University will be having a Veterans Day wreath-laying ceremony with arch of sabers, honoring veterans of all wars. The ceremony will be held in the Heritage Ballroom in Tirey Hall at 11 a.m. All are invited to attend in support of both living and deceased veterans who made sacrifices for our freedom.

There will be a guest speaker, Dr. Doug Herrmann, who is a Vietnam veteran. There will be a reading of the names of Indiana fallen soldiers from Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom.

A wreath-laying ceremony is where a wreath made of flowers is laid on a soldier’s grave.

Animal testing is outdated, imperfect

Monday, Nov. 9, 2015 Page designed by Grace Adams

Ryan Ballinger Columnist

Many products such as cosmetics, chemicals and even bath products are tested on animals. Sometimes it gets in their eyes and can harm them enough to make them lose hair or even their lives.

It has been made “legally OK” as long as “reasonable good” comes out of doing the supposed testing. I say any kind of animal testing is wrong because we have so many new inventions now.

Why can’t one of those inventions help us test products without using animals?

One thing I have found is that alternatives exist, such as human cells or artificial skin.

Many scientists and experts try to say it’s not enough to test on just cells in a petri dish, that we need to test products on something with an immune system and central nervous system. My counter to that is why not create a program that does that?

We have already tested so much that we can create algorithms that display what has happened with common products in the past; it should help us see the potential harm in the new products.

A second reason why we should ban animal testing is because some medicine that is tested on animals may harm them but help us.

This can be misleading and cloud our ability to find a cure for a disease. For example, aspirin is dangerous to some animals, but it helps relieve headaches in humans and provides other benefits.

A life-saving drug called FK-506 almost got ‘shelved’ — or dismissed — because of animal testing. The drug can help with lowering the chance of a transplanted organ to be rejected, and it almost didn’t come to be because of the effect it had on animals during tests.

Who knows how many other drugs were put aside just because of the way they affected animals?

A third and important reason that we should take away animal testing is because 95 percent of animals used for testing are not even protected by the Animal Welfare Act. The Animal Welfare Institute explained that the AWA “applies to animal carriers, handlers, dealers, breeders and exhibitors in addition to research laboratories, and sets minimum standards of care that must be provided for animals — including housing, handling, sanitation, food, water, veterinary care

Tall tales: Carson’s claims too good to be true

Joe Lippard

Assistant Opinions Editor

When people vote for president, they usually look for someone they think they can trust. Nixon lost the presidential election to John F. Kennedy in part because of his demeanor and appearance during televised debates.

One of George W. Bush’s biggest drawing points was that the American people felt they could trust him. He seemed like a guy you could just sit down and have a beer with.

In elections since then, we’ve endured many politicians trying to make themselves seem like ordinary people.

It’s become much more common for politicians to try to separate themselves from establishment politicians. They’ve tried to distance themselves from the political game by showing their family lives more, like Sarah Palin and her reality TV show, or by coining phrases like “Joe the plumber” to show they care about the middle class.

This hasn’t been effective in every case; President Obama won because

TESTING CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

he promised change from the Bush administration’s blunders internationally and domestically.

But while it hasn’t won them the presidency since Bush, trying to seem more trustworthy than Democrats has been the shtick of the Republican Party for a number of years.

This honesty and trustworthiness may have gone up in smoke for one Republican hopeful; it seems that GOP presidential hopeful and party frontrunner Ben Carson has had some issues telling the truth. Since showing that he is a candidate worth researching by polling so high, it has been found that numerous claims of his have little to no evidence to support them.

The biggest lie Carson is found to have told in recent days is an account that he gave detailing a meeting that he supposedly had with General Westmoreland at a parade on Memorial Day 1969, who offered him a full scholarship to West Point based on his performance in his time in ROTC. Carson declined, deciding instead to pursue medicine. Politico reported on this story, and they found that West Point had no record of Carson ever applying to or being nominated for the school.

The Detroit News also found that General Westmoreland was in Wash-

ington D.C. on Memorial Day. Official Army records show that Westmoreland met with Henry Kissinger that morning, laid a wreath at a memorial service around 11 a.m. and then later that evening had a boat ride on the Potomac.

It is not possible for Carson to have met General Westmoreland on Memorial Day 1969. Army records do show that Westmoreland was in Detroit on Feb. 18, 1969 at a dinner honoring a Vietnam veteran, but there’s still no evidence that Ben Carson was present nor ever met Westmoreland.

Since being confronted with this evidence, Carson’s campaign manager Barry Bennett has since changed his tune, now saying in an interview with MSNBC that Carson met Westmoreland “in February, not in a Memorial Day parade.”

This February date contradicts the claim that Carson has made since writing it in his autobiography “Gifted Hands” over 20 years ago.

Not only were Carson and Westmoreland not even in the same city on the day Carson recounted in his autobiography, West Point doesn’t even offer scholarships. Ben Carson said specifically in his autobiography that he “was offered a full scholarship

to West Point.” West Point offers free schooling as long as the student serves in the military after graduation.

Since then, Carson has been playing extremely defensively since these revelations have come to light. He has cried out against the media, claiming that it was biased for fact-checking his basic claims. A large part of Carson’s appeal to evangelical voters is his ragsto-riches, violent troubled teen to accomplished presidential hopeful story.

More central points in his tale have failed factchecking. When interviewing some people who actually knew Carson as a child, CNN found that none of them ever heard about his violent past as a troubled teen. None of his classmates could recall the incident where he purportedly tried to stab a classmate (Carson now says it was a family member). None of his classmates could corroborate his story about hiding white students in the biology lab to shield them from race riots.

Carson also told stories of a time when he attended Yale, when all of the finals for his Perceptions 301 class were supposedly burned. A retake was announced, and Carson said

Can the world’s coral be saved?

David Helvarg

Los Angeles Times (TNS)

Two Steps is a perfect snorkeling spot on the big island of Hawaii. Black lava rocks step down twice into the clear waters of a small bay where, on a good day, you’re guaranteed to see brightly colored fish and green sea turtles shoaling through myriad forms of coral in shades of brown, green, yellow, pink and purple.

But if you happened to visit last month, you would have found about 30 percent of the corals bleached wedding-cake white.

It’s a sure sign that the ocean is heating up. Overly warm water causes living coral polyps to expel the photosynthetic algae — called zooxanthellae — that give them their varied colors and about 70 percent of their nutrients.

If the bleaching lasts too long, the cor-

als starve to death.

All of Hawaii’s coral reefs are bleaching this year, a “really serious problem,” said Sheila McKenna, a marine ecologist at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park.

And a problem that seems to be accelerating.

With the return of a strong El Nino in the Pacific Ocean and the continued effects of global warming, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has just declared the third global coral bleaching event in history (the first two took place in 1998 during an earlier El Nino and in 2010). Ninetyfive percent of U.S. corals, which are mostly concentrated off the coasts of Hawaii and Florida, are likely to be exposed to conditions that can cause bleaching.

Tropical coral reefs cover less than 1 percent of the ocean, but they are home and nursery to 25 percent of all marine species; billions of fish, mollusks and other creatures rely on reefs for their

food and shelter. Their beauty generates tourism dollars, and they act as barriers providing storm protection for millions of coastal residents.

Unfortunately, they are especially fragile in the face of pollution, ocean acidification, overfishing and climate change. Most are not expected to survive this century.

There is some hope. Emerging science suggests coral reefs that are fully protected from pollution and overfishing are more resilient to the impact of climate change.

That’s one reason a coalition of Hawaii-based groups is calling for an emergency moratorium on the collection of aquarium-trade fish off their reefs.

At the same time, those who care about coral are looking at triage — not every reef will survive.

At Honaunau (Two Steps), it was even worse. Almost all the beautiful plate coral along the drop-offs was bleached. Yesterday I dove Ho’okena (Beach) and all the cauliflower and antler coral was bleached. I was completely blown away. … When I left in mid-September all seemed fine.

TESTING CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 and protection from weather extremes.”

The AWA does protect at least 1,134,693 animals, but leaves about 25 million other animals exposed. Examples of these would be rats, mice, fish and even birds, which aren’t protected by the AWA. Doesn’t every living thing deserve to live a peaceful life? I think so. I also think that it’s not worth the life of another living thing to protect mine.

When it comes down to it, animal testing is cruel and

unusual punishment toward animals. With all the inventions we have, there has got to be a way to make something that can test toxicity or potential dangers of medicines.

We also do not know how these medicines could affect us because some medicines affect us in different ways than animals. Lastly, the AWA does not protect many of the animals used in testing today.

These are reasons why animal testing should be banned, because every life, no matter how small, should matter.

VOLLEYBALL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 7 things up going into the break. Coming out in the third, Indiana State never trailed and got five of Nalls’ kills in the set to win 25-19. While ISU kept it close, it never held a lead in the fourth set as Loyola used a 6-1 run to cap it off and force a decisive fifth set, 25-17.

The Sycamores trailed for much of the fifth as they finally tied things up on another Nalls kill at 11-11.

It would take extra points in the deciding set, as junior outside hitter Bree Spangler broke a 14-14 tie with a kill while she combined with Burdette to put away the set and claim the victory.

CARSON CONTINUED FROM PAGE 6 that “about 150 students” walked out with the intent to cheat on the test, leaving Carson alone in the room. The professor approached him with a photographer from the school paper. The professor then gave him $10, telling him they were searching for the most honest student in the class.

This story doesn’t hold up to scrutiny either; on Sunday, Carson posted an article on Facebook from the Jan. 14, 1970, edition of the Yale Daily News that talked about a radically different event.

A class of Psychology 10 was told by a parody newspaper that their tests had been destroyed and

Kynedi (Nalls) posed a threat and helped us to a much-needed win,” Sycamore head coach Traci Dahl-Skinner said. “I think our block was good tonight, but tonight was a game of runs but in the end we played some better defense, which helped tremendously. This was such an important win and the goals for this team is to win out and tonight definitely helped us kick start that.”

the students would have to retake it. The article says that “several” students fell for the fake article.

The issue with Carson’s account is that he said specifically in his autobiography that the incident happened during the year after his sophomore year, but the article cannot possibly be from any other year but his freshman year.

Carson graduated high school in 1969, less than a year before this article was written. In addition, the paper says the class was Psychology 10, not Perceptions 301. The Wall Street Journal even confirmed that there was no Perceptions 301 class at the time Carson attended Yale.

In addition, the article gives the

room number where the test was administered as WLH 203, which is a small, 28-person classroom in Harkness Hall, not the auditorium Carson described in his book.

In the end, I feel like these revelations will come to hurt Carson.

He’s not the honest, trustworthy person he pretends to be, and I think the American people will see that.

There might be no such thing as bad publicity if a person is a celebrity, but for a presidential candidate, bad publicity exists and it’s very powerful.

Ben Carson has shown himself to me as a dishonest man and certainly one that I cannot trust in the White House.

Game Two Indiana State Volleyball took its first conference series of the season as it swept Bradley (25-6, 25-19, 25-23) on Senior Night at ISU Arena.

Junior right side Kynedi Nalls led the Sycamores again on Saturday night with nine kills on a .318 hitting clip and junior

middle blocker Melody Burdette added eight.

Sophomore libero Stephanie Bindernagel for the 16th straight match had double-digit digs with a match-high 16.

Senior setter Erika Nord led the team in assists in her final home match of her career with 16 while redshirt senior Carly Wishlow capped hers off with an .800 hitting percentage (4-0-5).

Indiana State came out on fire in the first set, hitting .344 as a team and cruising to a 25-6 victory.

The Sycamores hit their best in the second when it collected a .357 hitting percentage with Nalls, Burdette and senior middle blocker Cassandra Willis all adding three kills each en route to the 25-19 victory.

The Braves gave ISU a run for its money in the third as it led by as many as three after an Afton Sobasky service ace.

But the Sycamores chipped away and climbed back using a 5-1 run to take a 21-17 lead. The Braves threatened late as it tied the match at 22-22 but a kill from Nord and a service error clinched the win for the Sycamores.

“We had some great senior energy coming off a nice pregame banquet for them and they came out and ran the show tonight,” ISU Head Coach Traci Dahl-Skinner said. “This team is really buying into the remainder of the season and getting back to where we were early on. We had some blips in the third set but we were able to finish off the match and get our seniors out with a win.”

13-9, but the Tigers came back to take a one-point lead at 18-17 as the clock ticked under the 10-minute mark.

Van Scyoc’s second trifecta of the first half pushed the Sycamores ahead 22-18 at the 8:36 mark, but once again DePauw battled back. The visitors led by a 33-29 with 4:57 to go but a jumper from Scott kick started a 6-0 run which netted the Sycamores a 35-33 lead on a Khristian Smith lay-up. A Luke Lattner bucket with 2:36 remaining cut the Sycamore

lead down to one point, but a conventional 3-point play by Smith stretched the lead out to 40-36 with just under a minute remaining before the half. Smith scored against with 18 seconds remaining. DePauw turned it over and Everett Clemons finished off the half with a layup just before the buzzer for the 44-36 lead at the break.

Khristian Smith led the Sycamores with 14 points at the half, as he hit 6-7 shots from the field. Overall, the Syca-

mores shot 45.9 percent from the field before the break and overcame seven 3-pointers in the opening stanza for the eight-point lead.

Indiana State opens the regular season on Friday, Nov. 13 when they host instate rival IUPUI inside the friendly confines of Hulman Center.

Indiana State falls 59-13 at UNI Tyler Wooten

ISU Athletic Media Relations

No. 17/20 Northern Iowa jumped out to a 38-0 halftime lead and never looked back as No. 23 Indiana State fell 59-13 to the Panthers at the UNI-Dome on Saturday.

The Panthers (5-4, 3-3 MVFC) had an average starting position at the ISU 45 in the first half as their defense helped propel the UNI offense to a huge first-half lead over the Sycamores (4-5, 2-4 MVFC) and helped pile on in the back half as well.

“I don’t know what to say,” said ISU Head Coach Mike Sanford. “That was not the Indiana State Sycamore football team that I know that played out there today.”

UNI QB Aaron Bailey — a transfer from the University of Illinois — scored five total touchdowns on the Sycamore defense. However, the Panther offense didn’t need much help as their defense scored two touchdowns on their own — a 30-yard interception return for a touchdown in the second quarter and then a 77yard interception return for a score with 4:24 remaining in the game.

Those two pick-sixes were just a small part of the issues that plagued the Sycamores

No. 1 Junior runningback LeMonte Booker.

on Saturday, which also included 12 penalties for 114 yards and two fumbles lost to push ISU’s turnover total to five on the day.

“Way too many penalties, way too many mistakes, way too many turnovers, way too many punt returns,” Sanford said. “It started off bad with some false starts, and then it just went from bad to worse.”

Not to mention, Indiana State — already banged up entering today’s contest — suffered a bevy of injuries.

ISU was without star wide receiver Gary Owens and freshman safety Haki Woods prior

to kickoff due to concussions, but also received injuries to LeMonte Booker, Antonio Broadus, Sampson Levingston and — once again — AllAmerican linebacker Connor Underwood among many others.

“We have a lot of guys beat up,” Sanford said. “I have no idea how many are out or how long-term some of them are. I know we have a lot of guys hurt, and there’s too many of them for me to even comment on.”

However, the Sycamores did look good in the opening stages of the second half. Af-

ter stopping the UNI offense, ISU put together a nine-play, 80-yard drive that ended with a 12-yard trick-play touchdown from WR Kelvin Cook to SportsCenter Top10 veteran Robert Tonyan Jr. Tonyan again ended as ISU’s leading receiver with 80 yards on three catches.

Speaking of trick plays, ISU has scored on four different trick plays this season and has had three position players complete a pass: Gary Owens, TD; Kelvin Cook, TD; Robert Tonyan, 42-yard gain.

ISU’s final touchdown came not much later in the third quarter at the 0:54 mark, when Matt Adam hit Levingston for a 42-yard score — a career-long for Levingston.

Adam — despite throwing three interceptions — had a solid day with 214 yards and a touchdown. He has thrown at least one touchdown pass in all 10 of his career starts.

Indiana State returns home for its final two games of the season against Western Illinois on Saturday and Youngstown State on Nov. 21.

“We’ve got to look at it, evaluate it, learn from it, grow from it and we have to come back,” Sanford said. “We have two more games left, both at home starting with Western Illinois next week.”

Volleyball claims victory on Senior Night Ace Hunt

ISU Athletic Media Relations

Game One Indiana State volleyball snapped a five-match losing streak as it defeated visiting Loyola in five sets (25-23, 1825, 25-19, 17-25, 17-15) on Friday night inside ISU Arena.

Junior Kynedi Nalls led Indiana State with a career-high 18 kills while junior middle blocker Melody Burdette added 13. Sophomore libero Stephanie Bindernagel once again led the back row with 15 digs. Redshirt senior Carly Wishlow racked up seven blocks while junior outside hitter Bree Spangler led the match with four service aces. Sophomore setter Rachel Griffin added 24 assists as she split time with senior setter Erika Nord who dished out 23.

It was a match of flip flop inside ISU Arena, as the Sycamores avenged an earlier loss in the season to the Ramblers in the win. ISU narrowly took the opening frame, 25-23, as it kept LU at bay in the final points of the set. The Ramblers would come within one at 24-23 but Nalls drove it home coming out of a Sycamore timeout to seal it.

In the second, the Sycamores fell behind after Loyola went on a 9-3 run and secured the victory 25-18 to tie

Indiana State used a 21-point performance from senior Khristian Smith as four different Sycamores reached double-figure scoring en route to a 9171 victory over visiting DePauw in exhibition basketball action on Saturday afternoon inside Hulman Center.

Smith hit 9-11 shots from the field, including his lone 3-point attempt to pace the Sycamores with 21 points.

Also in double figures was Matt Van Scyoc who scored 13 points with a pair of first half 3-pointers while Brenton Scott came off the bench for 12 points and added five rebounds.
