“Freedom Writers” viewing set The public is invited to a viewing of the “Freedom Writers” next week in Cunningham Memorial Library. The film will be shown from 6 to 8 p.m. Oct. 18 in the Events Area. Starring Hilary Swank, “Freedom Writers” tells the story of Erin Gruwell, a high school teacher who helps her at-risk students learn tolerance and inspire them to continue their education. It’s based on the book “The Freedom Writers Diary.” Swank portrays Gruwell in the film. ISU selected the book as this year’s “Fall Read.” Free popcorn will be served at the event.

Kyle Neuhoff was on his way to work at Facilities Management early Saturday morning, when he saw a man slashing the tires of a green Ford Escape. “I was probably the first one to see the guy do it,” said Neuhoff, a sophomore mechanical engineering major. Police have arrested two men in connection to an Oct. 7 incident involving the slashing of more than 60 vehicles on ISU property. The men, Lee Wilson Hickey, 29, of 1113 Seventh Ave., and Richard Kenneth Masterman, 27, of 2200 Fifth Ave., were arrested early Saturday morning. Neuhoff said he went inside Facilities Manage-

ment to contact his supervisor after he noticed three tires on his 1997 black Ford had been slashed. By the time he and the supervisor returned to the parking lot, the fourth tire had been punctured. The supervisor walked down the row of vehicles and observed that each cars tires had been slashed. It was at that time that he and Neuhoff returned to Facilities Management and contacted law enforcement. An ISU police report states, Officer Michael Colson was dispatched to ISU Facilities Management on Oct. 7 after several vehicles’ tires were reported being slashed in area parking lots. Officer Colson met with Neuhoff who then gave a description of the suspect and advised he observed the suspect walk North on
the East side of Rec East. Sgt. Brenda Edington was also flagged down by several subjects at the Ballyhoo Tavern in regards to the same incident. The police report states bar staff separated two subjects after an altercation took place. At 5:24 a.m., Officer Michael Eldred located a subject fitting the description of one of the suspects walking north on North eighth Street. The subject, later identified as Lee Hickey, was given a portable breath test after Officer Eldred smelled alcohol emitting from his person, the police report said. Hickey had a blood alcohol content of .09. The police report states that Hickey advised officers that an individual named “Ken” was involved in the bar altercation with anoth-

It was after this incident that Ken decided to slash the tires of the vehicles in the parking lots surrounding the Ballyhoo in hopes of locating the vehicle belonging to the subject he had the altercation with. The knife found by Officer Eldred was tagged as evidence. Officer Jacquelyn Smith also met with employees at the Ballyhoo and obtained a video of the suspects inside the business during and following the altercation. The second suspect, Richard Kenneth Masterman, was arrested the next day after he agreed to speak with officers and admitted to the crime, the police report said. Both suspects were booked in the Vigo County Jail and refused comment.
The Indiana Statesman is published Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, except during exam periods and university breaks, and is published three times during the summer. The Indiana Statesman was founded May 16, 1929, the same year that Indiana State Normal School became Indiana State Teachers College. The newspaper began in December 1879 as the State Normal News. In November 1895, the paper was first issued as the Normal Advance. Members of the ISU community are welcome to take a single copy of each issue of this newspaper. The unauthorized taking of multiple copies, however, may constitute theft, which is a crime, even with free publications. Thefts will be reported to campus police for possible prosecution and/or for other disciplinary actions. The Indiana Statesman exists for four main reasons: to provide the ISU community with news and information, to serve the campus as a public forum for student and reader comments, to offer student staff members chances to apply their skills in different aspects of a news publication, and to give students leadership opportunities.

Crow committee is for the birds
Chatty Cathies cross boundaries
Board up your windows, shield your children (or s o m e b o d y ’s children), hide your spouse, write your will and evacuate quickly; the crow invasion is upon us. Currently you are safe, but at the end of this month masses of redeyed, winged death beasts will perch on top of your homes, your cars and the sweet, innocent faces of your kids. Campus, especially, is at risk. A crow may stalk you as you walk to class; it’ll wait to strike when you least expect it, ripping out your very heart with its claws and holding it up for the others to see. The murder (flock) will then feast on it in front of your family…and then the crows will eat your family. They eat everything. And when they’re not terrorizing the streets, they will bury the townspeople in their fecal matter. Gobs of people will cry out among the floating debris; residents will helplessly cling to their belongings as the poopy soup sweeps them into the chaos. Finally, the four horsemen of the apocalypse will descend from the sky. But they’ll probably take a look at all of the carnage and get the hell out of there. Despite the impending doom, a group plans to battle it out against the merciless soul scavengers. The Terre Haute Crow Committee met Tuesday at City Hall, in fact. As stated in Thursday’s Tribstar article “Committee’s ‘caw’ing: Controlling the crows,” a team of volunteers has been as-

sembled to tackle the crow problem. Last year, the committee had a budget of $18,000, most of which went toward launchers, high-visibility vests…and fireworks. What better way to combat the crow crisis? As the birds are devouring our internal organs and carrying first-born babies to their nest to feed, they can celebrate the country’s independence. Year round. Don’t you understand, Terre Haute? Crows are smart creatures. Flashy lights and loud noises may phase the birds at first, but they’ll be back. And even though they look like they’re scattering out of fear, what they’re really doing is mocking you. Another fact you might consider is that crows remember faces. A study conducted by Dr. John Marzluff of the University of Washington in 2008 proved that. So, volunteers, as you’re kicking off your fancy fireworks show, the crows are watching you, and they’re remembering who you are. They also know your home address, social security number, birthday and mother’s maiden name. Crows have migrated to Terre Haute for many years by the thousands. And while the city is hopeful about driving the pesky birds away, I can’t help but feel like it’s a lost cause. I mean, while we’re at it, why don’t we just assemble a task force for other bothersome animals. Deer and squirrels are pretty prevalent around Vigo County. I wouldn’t mind seeing a pigeon committee either. Instead of spending nearly $20,000 on annoying birds, we should be spending that cash on ammunition for Terre Haute’s real issues. We can start with jobs and crime.

In previous articles, “Polite Society” has focused on the individual: how one dresses, speaks and walks. However, this week the main goal will be to achieve more polite social boundaries such as the longevity of conversation. Often, people do not adhere to or even recognize boundaries. However, those who do are looked upon as genteel and respectful. The length of any conversation has a least two perspectives: Speaker A, let’s call him Johnny, and that of Speaker B, Hal. For example, Johnny leaves his dorm room in the hopes of chowing down on a very nutritious Whopper from his beloved Burger King. All the while, an acquaintance, Hal is enjoying a brisk fall walk in the shade of the sycamores. On the paths of a small campus, the two bump into one another. Now, Johnny’s perspective plays a little something like this: “Oh no, not this guy again! He once talked to me for a half hour about the cycles of iguana reproduction. Maybe I can avoid him.” This simultaneously occurs with Hal’s perspective, which sounds a bit different. “Hey,” he thinks, “there’s that sweet dude from my biology class that loved my views on iguanas!” Johnny exchanges a few words before Hal endulges himself with a fully endowed description of his strange colored mucus that afternoon, stating a possibility

of a cold, sore throat or mono, all the while hacking loogies uncomfortably close to Johnny’s face. Whenever he can get a word in, Johnny mentions he is meeting a friend in the Commons. He continuously glances at his watch. He taps his foot and looks about the sky in grave disinterest. All these social cues are obviously meant to portray Johnny in a state of needing and wishing to leave. But Hal is just not getting the picture. He throws around a hypothesis that his promiscuous roommate probably gave him mono. Then again, he added, the issue might be his seasonal allergies; Oh and that reminded him, he needed to get facial tissues! After an entire hour of interjected reasons for leaving and one terribly awkward goodbye with a guilty exchange of phone numbers, Johnny is finally free to embark on the burger journey. See the boundaries broken here? While Johnny has the expectation of a short and sweet conversation, Hal views the opportunity as much more personal. The lesson learned from this situation is to look out for social cues. When someone states they “need to leave” or they are “in a hurry,” take it for gold and be on your way. A tapping foot and wandering eyes means you might want to find new friends. Bottom line, search for these boundaries within social situations and begin to create a more polite society.

Can music, politics coexist? Everyone has a political opinion that they take to the polls and use to support their candidate or party of choice. Everyone also has an alternative way to support their political objectives, as well. They can work on campaigns or write strongly worded letters to their legislatures as a way to participate in the political process, but what about musicians? Famous musicians have a power that your average Joe doesn’t, and that is the ability to widely share their political ideals. I can’t create a hit song that speaks about my personal political philosophies and have it go multiplatinum like “P!nk” has with her song “Dear Mr. President.” Nor can I just talk to a newspaper about what policies I support and actually have someone listen to me as some artists have. Those who are in the limelight and constantly in the public’s eye have ample opportunity to tell the world want they think and have it reach the masses. However, with great fame comes responsibility. While musicians are entitled to their voice and opinions like every one else, they have to be careful about how they present themselves and how educated their opinion is. If their opinions are extreme and people follow to a point that it is dangerous, it is an issue. If they don’t back up their opinions and say they like someone because he has a cool tie, they will be heavily scrutinized and the rest of the media will most likely have a field day telling everyone just how uneducated

they are. They also are obligated to have their facts straight and present educated opinions. Artists can use their fame for a lot of positive things like MTV’s Rock the Vote campaign, which used celebrities to encourage the younger generation to get politically involved and participate in their civic duty. The organization encouraging voter registration, called Americans Coming Together ,also had musical help from Bruce Springsteen, Dave Matthews, John Mellencamp and a variety of other artists who were glad to help support political causes. There are other ways they can be politically active like Missy Higgins who has taken a stance on gay rights policy and Rob Thomas who has also taken that stance and called those who were against gay rights bigots. Granted, it was either on a webcast or Twitter, but that does not matter as much as the content. I find their arguments valid in that they are eloquent and educated and can support themselves. As far as I am concerned, Higgins saying that fighting over sexuality rights is stupid when we have bigger issues to attend to, like trillions of dollars in debt and millions of jobless Americans is a valid argument. As is Thomas saying that if you don’t believe in gay rights you are a bigot because while you are entitled to your own views and opinions, you are also taking away someone else’s rights in the process, and that is not OK. These artists are entitled to say what they want the same way we are, and while they have a responsibility as influential characters in our society, we also have a responsibility as a general public to form our own opinions that either agree or disagree with our favorite singer or songwriter.
“Those who are in the limelight and constantly in the public’s eye have ample opportunitty to tell the world what they think and have it reach the masses.”
Where there’s a smoking ban, there’s fire Four years ago, I first stepped onto ISU’s campus as a freshman. Back then, you couldn’t walk to class without passing through a cloud of smoke, especially if you had a class in Root Hall. Students would smoke right outside the doorway, blocking the west entrance to the building. With ISU’s smoking ban, these issues are greatly reduced. Despite some troubles enforcing the ban, smoking is much less prevalent on campus outside the designated smoking islands. Restricting where people can smoke has been an increasing trend in past years—on college campuses, in cities and in entire states. In fact, 27 states have enacted smoking bans—but not Indiana. In the past legislative session, however, some legislators fought to change that. Currently, state law prohibits smoking in many areas such as government buildings and schools. A comprehensive ban on smoking in all enclosed public places has yet to be attained. If a smoking ban was proposed in the last session, what stopped it from becoming law? The original bill had bipartisan support and came out of committee—the first hurdle in the legislative process—looking strong. However, when the bill came to the House floor for amendments, many exceptions were proposed and passed. These exceptions included casinos, bars, and private clubs. The legislators who proposed the amendments emphasized that children would still be protected with the exceptions, since they are not permitted in casinos and bars. This was the most important purpose of the bill—to protect children from second hand smoking. Nonsmokers who did not wish to be subject to secondhand smoke could simply choose to avoid bars and casinos that permitted smoking. Opponents of the exceptions insisted that another group
Aurora Dreyling The Pink Elephant
was being forced to involuntarily endure secondhand smoking—the workers in those bars and clubs that permitted smoking. Despite objections by the bill’s original supporters to the exceptions, the bill passed the House and moved onto the Senate. Critics of the smoking ban supporters have accused them of insisting on 100 percent of nothing instead of taking a partial percentage of something. Due to the position of the smoking ban’s supporters, the bill did not become law. While my feelings on the ban are mixed, I think the critics are missing something. Currently, smoking has largely been phased out. I can’t remember the last time I entered a restaurant and was given the choice of sitting in the smoking or nonsmoking section—the entire restaurant was nonsmoking. The only place smoking is an issue is outside or in the kinds of places that would be excluded under the amendments to the ban such as bars or casinos. So, if smoking is confined to places that would be excluded anyway, how could the ban be anything more than symbolic? Perhaps supporters of the ban were in an all-or-nothing situation regardless. Good arguments can be made on both sides of the smoking ban issue. Those who work at bars and casinos choose to work there—they are not forced to accept jobs there if they are not comfortable working in that kind of environment. Many jobs have hazards, and choosing to work there is choosing to accept that hazard. On the other hand, smoking is extremely harmful. All sorts of diseases trace their roots to smoking, including lung cancer. As a nonsmoker who abhors being in the presence of smoke, it is upsetting to have to choose between visiting a bar with friends and breathing clean air. Smoking is on its way out as more and more people recognize the horrific consequences of smoking. Does the General Assembly really need to pass a statewide smoking ban? Letting local entities make those decisions is the most sensible at this point.

Politicians aren’t trying hard enough for the youth vote Michael Laub In the Democrat’s corner
I would like to think that the youth of this country is like a sleeping bear; it spends a lot of time doing nothing, but when awoken, it can do amazing things. This has been true for many generations, where a youth movement or some sort of counter culture revolt started great social change. That is what I would like to have believed, but after observing my fellow generation, I have noticed that we are not really like a sleeping bear but more like a fat guy. The fat guy complains a lot about where he lives and where he is going. He also describes what he would do if he were in charge, but he is far too lazy and bloated to actually do anything. The youth that I have seen willing to change this nation have been lost within the fat rolls, suffocated by the fleshy waves of ignorance and laziness. The lack of a central movement and willingness to change has left this nation’s youth to be crippled and unable to do much of anything for the country. Now, how does a politician deal with this and get campaign support? Well, most politicians don’t spend much time trying to get the college vote or even spend much time with the youth. This is because the youth are extremely unreliable and don’t vote. Most students on this campus don’t agree with the politicians these days, are not registered to vote and don’t know their own Senators, even though it is a Google search away.
Not to say that some students are not politically aware, but they are so few in numbers that it is better for a politician to just do a few speeches for colleges and hope that one or two of them go to the voting booths on election day. You might say to me that you are not a disinterested youth and you want to get involved in politics, but you don’t know how to get involved in the political process. Well, I am here to tell you that there are several youth groups on this college campus that actually deal with the campaigns and a lot more on the web. On this campus we have College Democrats, College Republicans and other political/ideological groups. The campaigns are not going to focus or do much for the youth if the youth does not show an express interest with the political groups. In the last presidential election, the Obama Campaign took more of a stance with the youth, but really didn’t do anything personally. The campaign committee gave money out to college political groups who supported Obama and let them handle their own campaigns around college campuses. This gave the college students more incentive to do their own campaigning, and the campaign doesn’t have to give up valuable resources to deal with the youth. I am suspecting that this campaign cycle is going to be the same. Just give some interested college students some money and pamphlets to campaign with, and Obama and the other members of the party would just go to a few college campuses to give the occasional speech to the “voting” populace.
“Youth are extremely unreliable and don’t vote.”
Candidates rely on electronic media to get votes Leia Zoll Let’s Get Political
This election is more of a digital age than President Barrack Obama’s infamous campaign funding of online donations. Republicans are geared towards the 21st century and the young voters that prowl the social media hubs. Republicans have been surfacing on the web in the most unsuspected areas, tweeting with the intent of catching the eye of the young voters and hoping that their statuses are popping up on your home page. “You have to take your message to the places where people are consuming content and spending their time,” said Mitt Romney’s online director, Zac Moffatt. “We have to recognize that people have choices, and you have to reach them where they are and on their terms.” This year’s presidential hopefuls are clogging the walls of Facebook by posting videos of speeches, statuses and discussions. And they’re meeting you on your playing field to win your vote this coming election. This year’s Republican candidates have jumped on the social bandwagon, embracing Twitter with a passion that even a boy band couldn’t conceive. As Moffatt puts it: “The campaign site may be headquarters, but it needs digi-
tal embassies across the web.” The question is, is tweeting appropriate for the next president of the United States? Is this the new standard we hold our commander and chief too? Do we expect each candidate to give their opinions in 140 words or less from now on? Bringing a message to the public and targeting youth for the upcoming election is fine and dandy, but short text should be unacceptable for the next man or woman to occupy the oval office and the highest position in American government. I would hope to see “responsible tweeting” at the least. Does America find this angle effective and appropriate? I do believe the following months will tell. I commend the GOP for taking the issues to the voters in a most unlikely, yet so far effective, manner, and I do applaud those who remember who they are and what they are running for as to prevent the “txt lingo.” Let us hope our candidates can reserve their dignity on such a nonrefined social media such as MySpace, Facebook and Twitter. The Candidates of 2011 are sniffing out the young ‘ins. Let’s see if there are any more ways they find to reach the new generation. What could they possibly do next? Political rallys at skate parks?

This year’s theme, “It’s Showtime Sycamores,” is to be incorporated in every aspect of Homecoming 2011, including the poster, the float and the dance for Sycamore Sync, along with multiple other facets. Participating within organizations is one way for students to get more involved with Homecoming activities, rather than going to events on their own. Each organization is to decide on one movie that includes some dance number or song in order to coincide with the designated subject of “It’s Showtime Sycamores.”
The ISU Homecoming website states Sycamore Sync. will be held on Tuesday, Oct. 11. In this activity, sororities, fraternities and resident halls are paired up with one another, and they are to perform an individually constructed dance routine that is a mash-up of multiple songs from the designated movie with dance sequences that go along with each song. The torch light parade takes place on campus today. Fraternities and sororities march around campus holding a torch until they end at the pep rally. The Tug-Of-War will take place Thursday. Girls are against girls and guys against guys. This is
one of the most sought-after occasions because of the amount of competition that arises amongst the participants. The Trike race takes place Friday. Students are divided into teams and they race adult-sized tricycles around a track, 30 laps for females and 42 laps for males. The parade will take place Saturday. Different student organizations compete for the best float. Following the parade, students and faculty go to the football stadium and traipse around Tent City where organizations have tents set up to welcome their alumni back to campus. “Tent City has progressed throughout my years at ISU,” se-
nior political science major Marley Hancock of Alpha Phi said. “The crowds & participation has increased and we would like more participation outside of the Greek community.” The close of the day is usually the football game, but this year, it is the Mike Posner Concert, which adds a turn of events and is creating great excitement for students, faculty and locals alike.

Winner, new sculpture name announced ALEXA LARKIN Reporter
In the eyes of ISU student Tyler Miller, the ISU Foundation office will be washed with a wave a renewal on Nov. 4, when the sculpture outside of the building is dedicated. The ISU Foundation created a competition to name the sculpture being built outside of the new office at the corner of Fifth and Cherry streets. The name created by Miller, freshman automation and control engineering major from Elkhart, was chosen as the winner. Miller submitted the name “Renewal.” The name was chosen from over 100 submissions made to the contest by Indiana State students and alumni, as well as Wabash Valley residents, said Kim Bloch, director of communications for the ISU Foundation. “It was important that the title for the art was meaningful and overtly Indiana State,” said Gene Crume, ISU Foundation president. “Renewal is this name as it will be a nice complement to people’s experience at the sculpture.” The sculpture name had a double meaning, Miller said. The first is that the sculpture reminded Miller of a wave, and waves move in a continuous cycle, one after the next, he said. This cycle made him think of the cycle of freshman and seniors, one
group coming into the school and renewing the sense of school spirit, while the other leaves. The second influence for the name came from Miller’s idea about going to college. “College gives you that chance to make up for [mistakes] by bettering yourself and furthering your education and experience to benefit the world around you,” Miller said. “Therefore by renewing yourself, it benefits everyone.” Miller visited a few other colleges but chose to renew himself at ISU because that is where he felt the most connected, he said. Once Miller had chosen to attend ISU, he began looking for ways to get involved before he moved to Terre Haute, and that is when he found the Facebook page promoting the competition. Miller’s prize is a VIP Homecoming package, including ISU apparel and a $100 gift card to the ISU bookstore. The white steel and blue glass marble sculpture was designed by artist Tim Upham of Fort Collins, Col. An ISU Foundation press release stated the sculpture will be done in time for the dedication, hosted by the ISU Foundation and Art Spaces on Nov. 4 at 3 p.m. at the ISU Foundation office.
Briefs
Indiana State professor to speak at national operations, supply chain management conference: An Indiana State University faculty member will speak at an upcoming national conference on operations and supply chain management. Ken Jones, a senior lecturer in the Scott College of Business, will present “Building a Culture of Passion and Engagement in the Classroom” during the upcoming Advancing Productivity, Innovation and Competitive Success (APICS) conference in Pittsburgh later this month. Jones will discuss how to create projects and partnerships with companies and other external partners to teach students. “I want to get the word out; this is what ISU is doing,” Jones said. “We’re really engaging our community business partners to bring real projects into the classroom and give our students a unique experience, something they might not get at other schools.”
The ISU Foundation partnered with Art Spaces in conducting a nationwide search for artists to design the sculpture and selected Upham’s design from more than 120 submissions. (Photos courtesy of ISU Communications and Marketing)

Designated Walker and SoberRide programs active Homecoming weekend: During Homecoming, Indiana State University is working to ensure the safety of other students by encouraging responsible drinking through its Designated Walker and SoberRide programs. Both programs, which will be in effect during Indiana State’s Homecoming weekend, are a result of a collaborative partnership between the Dean of Students office, the Student Counseling Center, Student Health Promotions, ISU Police, Pepsi, and the Fleschner, Stark, Tanoos and Newlin law firm. “The Designated Walker program is an example of students taking care of each other,” said Aimee Janssen-Robinson, outreach educator with Student Health Promotions. “Designated Walkers can still accompany their friends and have fun on
The Walk and at Homecoming. They just don’t drink.” In addition to enjoying beverages provided by Pepsi and food provided by local merchants, Designated Walkers underwent Step Up training, where they learned about alcohol awareness and bystander intervention techniques. Indiana State’s Designated Walker program debuted in 2009, with 31 participants. This year, 76 students have completed the training necessary to serve as Designated Walkers. SoberRide will be entering its second year of operation with Homecoming 2011, providing free transportation to the campus area. SoberRide will have two 20-passenger buses providing transportation on Saturday. Service will begin at 11 a.m. on Saturday and continue through 3 a.m. on Sunday. Indiana State students who are concerned about driving themselves or riding in a car with another driver who may have
been drinking can simply text GOISU and their location to 99000 and a bus will be alerted to the need of a ride. Students will need to show their ISU ID card to utilize the service. “This is a safe, one-way ride home for students within Terre Haute,” said Bill Mercier, ISU police chief. “The service is not a shuttle service to bars and parties. Students are limited to one one-way ride per night.” For more information please contact Janssen-Robinson at 812-237-3939.

Going digital: classrooms transition
SHALEENA BARKER Features editor
With digital media use on the rise, many wonder if it will soon translate to the classroom. A study conducted by the University of Maryland stated students have become addicted to digital media and social networking. Their study found that most students felt isolated from their peers without the use of these tools. The study also found that students spend an average of 12 hours a day on some type of media device. Indiana State instruction management major Joel Fleming said it would be easier to ask him when he’s not on the Internet than it would be to ask him how much time he actually spends. Accounting major Chaleise Everly agrees. Everly claimed that with everything the Internet offers she spends around five hours a day online. “We’re on the Internet now even when we’re watching TV,” Everly said. This reliance has many people wondering how this will spill over into classrooms. Many professors have taken to using instruments like Twitter and YouTube in their lectures. “I have classes that use things like YouTube,” Everly said, “It’s nice when you have something that complements what you’re learning.” Though many professors are starting to use these types of methods, some students are wary of what this could mean for their education. Junior Art major Josh Fiscus claimed he understands the allure of using these tools in the classroom to reinforce ideas. However, Fiscus admits, he’d hate if everything were to become digital and placed online. “Once teaching goes online, you lose the personal interaction,” Fiscus said. “You lose the perspective of being taught by someone.” This is a direction Jeffrey Perkins, director of Student Video Production and instructor of Electronic Media, thinks school may be taking. Perkins maintains that it is important for students to be comfortably familiar with these tools because things will only become more digitized. “There are some exceptions, but you can almost guess a person’s age by how they gather and access information,” Perkins said. He went on to say that if this is how most students interact, it makes sense to incorporate it in the curriculum.
In order to accomodate students, ISU has set up several computer labs which are open 24/7 throughout the school year while class is in session. There are a total of five computer labs across campus. (Photos courtesy of ISU Communications and Marketing)

Richelle Kimble Reporter
ISU cross country is home of the only coaching duo in the MVC to be admitted to the track and field All-Centennial Team. ISU men’s head coach John McNichols and ISU women’s head coach John Gartland are among only nine others in MVC history with this honor. McNichols began his career at ISU in 1982 and since then, has earned seven MVC Cross Country Conference Titles, making up almost half of his total 15 MVC titles. He has been named the MVC Cross Country Coach of the Year seven times and the Great Lakes Region Cross Country Coach of the Year. Last year, McNichols conquered his first triple crown by sweeping the cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field seasons in a dominating victory. “It’s just so tough winning a conference title. It’s the pinnacle of why we do it,” McNichols said. “Winning all three titles was really, really a proud moment for our coaching staff.” Gartland joined the Sycamores in 1988 and has led his teams to two MVC cross country titles and 10 track and field titles. He has been named MVC Conference Coach of the Year 10 times - one of which was in cross country - and NCAA District V Coach of the Year four times for track and field. In 2010, Gartland passed the women’s track and field program to former ISU athlete Angie Martin, but remains as women’s cross country head coach and track and field assistant. Gartland’s most memorable moment is the conference championship of 1991.
“We had lost our number one runner, Debbie Ramseyer, due to an injury, and it looked like it was going to be a terrible year,” Gartland said. “[None of the other teams] were running strong at the conference meet, and we snuck into the first place spot.” Under the duo’s leadership, several high caliber athletes have developed, including two current employees at ISU: Angie Lansing, Assistant Athletic Director, Angie Lansing, and Assistant Track and Field Coach. Geoff Wayton, Lansing was named All-Region in 1996 and claims the fourth best 5k time in ISU history. Wayton was named All-Region in 1996 and 1997 and is listed third in the Sycamore 8k record book. Through marital ties to Wayton, Jessica Crowder joins the community of successful athletes and Sycamore careers. Crowder will soon be inducted into the All-American Hall of Fame for her 47th (30th American) place finish at the 2003 NCAA Cross Country Championships. Crowder sweeps the ISU records in the 4k, 5k, and 6k. Though training always adjusts according to personal and group needs, the base training at ISU since the 1990’s has dramatically altered. The frequency of meets has declined to every other weekend, and consequently, the training volume has increased for the men, and the intensity has increased for the women.
Cross Country/15

According to McNichols, in the early 1970’s, the men used to run between 90 and 100 miles per week. With 10k competition more frequent, athletes were forced to prepare for meets weekly. Now, with many season races slimmed to 8k and ran alternated weekends, the men are able to run from 100 to 110 miles per week. Gartland has been focusing on the quality of workouts as opposed to quantity. This includes the lowering of weekly mileage from high fifties to low forties for the women. The intensity of his training has been increased in order to adhere to the varying weaknesses and strengths of his athletes. Additionally, the coaching staff believes the increase in training and performance is partially credited to the “internet era.” Athletes are able to compare workout progression online and are aware of other’s hard work, creating a domino effect of high performance. The facilities for ISU cross country have also transformed. Prior to the creation of the LaVern Gibson Cross Country Course in Terre Haute, ISU reserved Hulman Links public golf course for their home meets. Though, the races were limited. Gartland stated that the coaching staff was forced to pull strings with the Mayor to gain privileges. The last meet held at the course was the 1991 MVC Conference Championship. The LaVern Gibson Course was built on donated land previously used as a landfill. ISU had no affiliation with the development of the course. The course was intricately designed and built to format a championship course. Features such as the parking lot location, high fence, natural amphitheatre, placement of the chute, press box visibility, subtle hills, and the route and distance of the loops were carefully considered. “We created a model, so when schools build a course, they build it like we did,” McNichols said. Wayton, having had ran on the course several times, described the course as “fair.” “The athlete that is the most fit will do well out there. I think what NCAA values is when you have championships, you have fair championships - a crisp, clear format where champions are crowned,” he said. Wayton was among the first to race on the course. ISU men won the first race held on the course in 1996. “It was a big source of pride. We really valued how much time and energy was being put into
“There is no sport more wholesome than cross country, and Terre Haute is now associated with that.” JohnMcNichols,ISUmen’scrosscountry head coach
cross country,” Wayton said. The LaVern Gibson course has sprouted cross country popularity in Terre Haute. The city has been the host of the NCAA Division 1 PreNationals and NCAA Division 1 Cross Country Championships since 2004. “[The course] has totally changed the perception of our running program. It became emission not only for our teams but for our community,” McNichols said. “There is no sport more wholesome than cross country, and Terre Haute is now associated with that.” Following the construction of the LaVern Gibson course, four hotels have been built in Terre Haute. Though the relation is not directly proven, it is feasible to say the busy fall season created more revenue and economic wealth for the city. Since Wayton’s recruited class began the streak of MVC success, the men’s cross country program has been at a constant rise, progressively getting more competitive under McNichols‘ coaching. ISU men have been crowned champions in five of the last seven conference meets. The men have been tabbed in the 2012 MVC pre-season poll to take first at the upcoming championship meet. Five of the seven championship runners are returning, and the men are filling in the two lost spots with plenty of depth. “The goal is to be in peak shape for conference. We’re the favorite coming in, but we still have a lot to accomplish,” senior and returning AllConference runner Craig Padgett said. For the women, MVC success has been constant. The highest conference finishes occurred in the early 1990s, and since, Sycamore women have remained competitive for no lower than sixth place. Under Gartland’s reign, 21 conference finishes have been fifth place or higher, and only two have been in sixth. “This year is probably the best shape everyone has been in, and as a team our lead group has been bigger,” senior runner Kelsie Slater said. “We are training hard, and plan to be contenders for a top three spot.” The path paved for current ISU cross country runners is one with dignified pride, and the athletes are left with a successful reputation to continue. With a top-notch facility, experienced coaching, and passionate athletes, the ISU cross country program will continue to rise to new triumphs.

Student-athlete committee organize t-shirt swap SHELBY YOUNG Reporter
Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC), is putting together a t-shirt swap fundraiser during homecoming week. “We serve as a liaison for all the athletes and administration, but a big portion of what we do is community involvement. We raise money for local charities, do a food drive and try to get more involvement in the community from the student athletes,” said Kasey Kahle, president of SAAC. The t-shirt swap table will be set up by the fountain between the hours of 10 a.m. and 2 p.m. all homecoming week. The table is also selling bracelets that say, “Bleed Blue,” for $2. “If anyone brings in a shirt, sweatshirt, hat, any apparel from another school, we will give them a free ISU shirt in exchange for their shirt. All the traded in t-shirts will then be taken to various Goodwills and thrift stores as a donation. We will take any apparel, not just t-shirts, but we only have t-shirts to give out,” said Kahle. The event is sponsored by SAAC, SGA, UniversiTees, Commuter Student
Services, and the Center for Community Engagement. SAAC designed the T-shirts and UniversiTees printed them. “Students are tired of seeing other school shirts worn around campus, so they decided to put this on,” said Jeremy Ploch, the assistant academic coordinator for ISU Athletics and SAAC advisor. “We hope to get more school spirit on campus, remove a lot of the representation of other universities on our campus and to make a donation to charities,” said Kahle.

The ISU “Underdogs”

Ernest Rollins Sports editor
All of us have seen that movie that is described as “the underdog story.” Think any Rocky movie, “Remember the Titans” and “Little Giants.” It is Hollywood’s go-to storyline when their well of creativity runs dry because it is tried and true, warming viewers’ hearts as it reflects that American ideal that, through hard work, commitment and dedication one can overcome the odds and be successful. Forget the glitz and glamour of the cliché Hollywood feature and tune into the sports sections of any local publication for a true, realworld example of “the underdog story” model at work. The Indiana State University football program is the embodiment of what hard work leading to success. Cue the flashback to the dark days when ISU football was at its lowest in history. The program struggled to even win, and each game, the team was dominated by its opponents, allowing as much as 62 points to be scored. The team got national recognition because they had the longest losing streak in the nation at 33 games. The turning point came at the 2009 Homecoming game against the Western Illinois University Leathernecks. In a hard fought victory, the team came from behind, winning 1714 and breaking the losing streak. For many of the 6,028 people in attendance at that Homecoming game, it was like the team had won the national championship. Students, faculty members and
Terre Haute community members stormed the field in elation, encircling the Sycamores and screaming frantically. Since that Homecoming game, the program has continued to work hard, moving from winning one game to having a winning season to now, as the team enters Homecoming 2011 nationally, ranked and with a 4-2 record. The team is coming off a loss against the University of Northern Iowa last Saturday, but that game is a thing of the past. Our Sycamores know the sting of defeat better than anyone, and they have a thirst for victory. I believe the team understands how far they have come but are not arrogant enough to say they have made it or that they are the absolute best. Unlike Hollywood, there will be no unrealistic, incredible feat like the team winning the national championship, but it does not diminish for a second the progress they have made these past two years. Therefore, as students of this institution that these players so proudly represent every time they take to the gridiron, I say we let our team know that we are proud of them and their accomplishments and that we will stand behind them through thick and thin. As athletes, they feed off our encouragement because they want as badly as we do to have a reputable football program. So, this weekend, as they exit the tunnel and look up to the stands, let them see our royal blue and white, hear our roar of appreciation and feel our excitement. Let them know that we the students of ISU are behind them, because this is our house.

Former Sycamores to be inducted into Hall of Fame Hall of fame Continued From PAge ONe Wayton competed for ISU women’s cross country and the women’s track and field team from 2000 to 2005. In her time at ISU, Crowder finished 47th at the 2003 NCAA Division I Cross Country National Championships. The finish earned Crowder All-American status and to date remains the only member of the women’s cross country in Sycamore history to be named an AllAmerican. “She was a big sweetheart. She was a hard worker,” Angie Martin, former teammate and current ISU women’s track and field head coach and 2010 Hall of Fame Inductee said. “She was very focused in every thing she did from academics to track to even her friends. She took good care at balancing everything in her life.” In addition, Wayton established Sycamore records in the 4K running in a time of 14:17 at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course. The time is also the course record. She is the record holder for the 5K and 6K at 17:09 and 20:52, respectively and the LaVern Gibson course record holder in the 6K at 21:18. Former track and field hurdler Aubrey Herring won the 2001 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships in his tenure competing for ISU Men’s Track and Field from 1997 to 2002. Herring earned seven All-American recognitions and was unbeaten in the Missouri Valley Conference during his time at ISU, winning four 60m and 110m hurdles at indoor and outdoor conferences, respectively.
Herring established records for both Indiana State University and the MVC. He still holds the MVC Indoor Championship record in the 60m hurdles at 7.55 set in 2000, the 110-meter hurdle record at 13.47 set at the 2001 Outdoor Championships and the All-Time 110 meter hurdle record of 13.36 in 2001. “He really made me a believer right from the beginning that he just had a unique talent not only at being a gifted athlete but his mental approach. He was just so confident, and because of what I witness, I was always confident in him. I just always expected him to be right at the top of the race and win,” John McNichols, ISU men’s track and field coach, said. Not many remember the days when Indiana State had a wrestling team, however, Effner was a dominant force for ISU on the mat during his time at ISU from 1984-1986. Effner competed at the NCAA Championships three times, finishing sixth in 1985 and fifth in 1986 and competing in the 142 pound weight class. His efforts earned him All-American status, and his career total of 128 victories is third on the Indiana State All-Time list. Former wrestling coach Fran McCann coached ISU wrestling from 1977 to 1984. While at ISU, McCann established a 71-45-1 record and took the team to the NCAA Championships in 1982 where the team finished seventh. McCann coached Indiana State All-Americans including the
1982 National Champion Bruce Baugmartner. He also coached All-American wrestlers Bod Dickman and Jack Effner. With a record of 94 wins in 17 years, Dennis Raetz is the winningest football coach in the history of Sycamore football. Under his leadership the Indiana State football team was ranked number one in the I-AA poll, winning nine consecutive games before losing in the I-AA playoffs in 1984. The team made the I-AA playoffs once more under Raetz in 1983 with a season record of 8-2, advancing as far as the quarterfinals. The Indiana State University baseball team saw great success under head coach Bob Warn. The Sycamores won six Missouri Valley Conference championships (1979, 1983, 1984, 1986, 1989, and 1995). The team also made six NCAA Tournament appearances and a College World Series appearance. In his time at ISU, 90 players made it into professional baseball with 21 going on to compete in the Major Leagues. The six former Sycamores will be inducted formally into the Athletics Hall of Fame on Oct. 13. They will also be recognized at the Homecoming game against Western Illinois University Saturday.
