Indiana Statesman Sycamores survive Saluki comeback For ISU students. About ISU students. By ISU students.

With his team trailing by three late in the fourth quarter, Southern Illinois kicker Chris Adams sent a pooch kick sailing over the heads of the Indiana State kick-return team. With Saluki defenders bearing down, the ball — as it had for most of the afternoon — fell into the arms of ISU’s senior wide receiver Gary Owens, who promptly downed the ball to secure the Sycamores a 39-36 victory in their Homecoming game. “A great win,” a jovial Mike Sanford, Indiana State football head coach, said. “I thought our team kept fighting, kept believing despite a lot of adversity.” Adversity was the name of the game for the Sycamores — some self-inflicted, some imposed by the Salukis. Indiana State had every opportunity to push Southern Illinois to the brink but couldn’t find their killer instinct. The Sycamores went just 3-6 in the red zone, leaving points on the field that Sanford knows will be needed next week when the 4-time defending national champion North Dakota State comes to town. “We had a lot of near touchdowns that — some of that stuff blows my mind,” Sanford said. “We left probably 21 points out there on the field that we didn’t get that we really should have gotten.” That’s not to say the Sycamore offense played poorly. After putting up just 86 rushing yards in last week’s loss to South Dakota State, the ISU running game roared to life after an unusually porous showing by the Saluki defense. The Sycamore offense amassed 329 rushing yards against the sixth-ranked rush-

ing defense in the Missouri Valley Football Conference. Sophomore quarterback Matt Adam led the team with 123 rushing yards and a touchdown, a career-high mark. Junior running back LeMonte Booker tacked on 113 yards for the ISU offense. For as good as the running game was, Owens stole the show on the offensive side of the ball for the Sycamores. Owens caught five passes for 128 yards and three touchdowns. His three touchdown receptions tied the single-game record and moved him into a tie for most touchdown receptions in a season with eight. “I’m just trying to be reliable,” Owens said. “It’s really on those guys, Matt (Adam) — the (offensive line) they gave me the opportunity and time I needed to get open and so I congratulate those guys and say ‘thank you.’” Southern Illinois received the opening kick and put the Sycamore defense on its heels. With its quick, short pass driven offense, the Salukis drove down the field — with little resistance from the defense — and put the first points of the game on the board. As would become the custom for much of the game, Indiana State answered with a score of its own. A nine-play, 81-yard drive culminated in a 30-yard touchdown pass to Owens, the first of his three on the day. The Sycamores took their first possession of the second quarter 80 yards for a tie-breaking touchdown. Adam took the snap and rolled to his right, seeing a running lane, he took off and outran the defense for a 43-yard score.

Suspect Movement aims to support minority groups identified Kristi Sanders News Editor

Kristi Sanders News Editor

In an article released on Oct. 7, campus police reported an unidentified male. This man has now been identified in a press release. “A warrant has been issued for the arrest of Tyeshek Norwood for Intimidation, a Level 6 Felony. This arrest is in connection with the recent investigations of fraudulent activity in and around the ISU campus. Former ISU student Anthony McClendon had been arrested previously and is currently jailed. The warrant for Norwood requires a $25,000 bond be posted. “Norwood, 21 years of age, is described as approx. 5 feet 6 inches tall and weighing approx. 130 lbs. He is originally from the Hammond, Indiana, area but has been seen on campus regularly this semester.” Anyone with information on Norwood is asked to contact the Indiana State University Police at 812-237-5555 or the Terre Haute Police at 812-244-2200.

Members of the #FREEISU movement met with the Indiana State University Board of Trustees to discuss diversity on campus Wednesday evening. Several students created the movement and wrote a petition because they feel minority groups are not receiving equal opportunities at ISU. #FREEISU stands for Facilitating the Release of Equity and Excellence at Indiana State University. After the meeting, members of the movement felt unsatisfied by the response they received from the board. They then decided to have a public meeting to explain their cause to others on campus. The meeting was held on Thursday afternoon and students, faculty and staff came to hear about the petition. Tyler Roberson, a graduate student in student affairs and higher education, said he was upset by how the board responded to their cause. “We do feel like some things need to change,” Roberson said. “We do feel like there are some things we are uncomfortable with in classrooms. We do feel like this university can grow and can be even more than it is now … . It has room to grow though, and we want to be a part

of that growth and helping the university progress.” Another student who helped with the petition was Lakisha Johnson, a senior social work major. “The petition was created about three to four weeks ago,” Johnson said. “When we decided how to make a change on campus the petition was an idea expressed by a couple graduate students. We figured this would be the easiest and most efficient way to get the message across to others.” Johnson was also not happy with the way the board addressed the students. “I felt the same feeling I felt when I brought my concerns to others (on campus),” Johnson said. “I felt ignored and pacified.” David Campbell, the chairman of the board of trustees, discussed the meeting. “I think we have a diverse background at ISU,” Campbell said. “Part of this may be our fault for not communicating as we should. We will in the future.” Campbell discussed a new part to the surveys taken by students at the end of the semester. “It will allow students to give feedback on campus and the climate at ISU,” Campbell said. Some of the items on the petition are also goals for ISU, Campbell explained. “It’s a priority to gain and keep more minority faculty,” Campbell said.

At the public meeting, some were concerned with the wording of the petition. “As more students join the movement, changes will be made so the petition will represent the group as a whole,” Johnson said. “We will look into meeting with the full board in December.” Page designed by Sarah Hall

Restored Normal Hall dome unveiled; $1M gift, scholarship endowment announced Indiana State University kicked off its Sesquicentennial Era Thursday night with the announcement of a $1 million gift from the Gayle and Bill Cook Foundation during a Gala Celebration which featured the unveiling of the restored stained glass dome in Normal Hall and raised more than $200,000 to create an endowment for need-based scholarships. “This is a wonderful way to kick off our Sesquicentennial Era. We are so grateful to Gayle Cook for lending her expertise to the restoration of Normal Hall and connecting us to the Conrad Schmitt firm which has done an amazing job restoring the dome,” said university President Daniel J. Bradley. “We also are incredibly appreciative of the support we have received for our historic preservation efforts from Gayle and her son, Carl, through the Gayle and Bill Cook Foundation.” The gift from the Cook Foundation helped support aspects of the renovation of Normal Hall that fell outside of the $16 million project funded by state dollars as well as other historic preservation efforts on campus. Cook and her late husband started Cook Incorporated in 1963 in the spare bedroom of their apartment and built it into a leading international medical device company. They have restored numerous historic buildings throughout Indiana and Illinois including the French Lick Springs and West Baden resorts in southern Indiana. “It has been exciting to be a part of this wonderful project and to see this magnificent dome brought back to life. This regal setting is bound to inspire students as they study in the grand rotunda. It is an incredible building,” said Cook. Normal Hall is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is the only remaining building, which was originally constructed for use by the Indiana State Normal School. The building was dedicated as the Indiana State Normal School Library in 1910 and is now the home for University College and the Center for Student

Success. The restoration project was led by arcDESIGN of Indianapolis with Weddle Brothers Construction Companies of Bloomington serving as the general contractor. Conrad Schmitt Studios, located in New Berlin, Wisconsin, completed the restoration of the 32-foot-wide stained glass dome, the scagliola columns and decorative painting including a reproduction of Raphael’s portrait of Philosophy in the center of the dome. The fundraising event netted more than $200,000 to create an endowment to support need-based scholarships, said Ron Carpenter, president of the Indiana State University Foundation.

“We are grateful to the individuals, businesses, organizations and sister institutions who generously supported this event. In addition to celebrating the University’s 150th anniversary, we will be able to create an endowment that will assist future Sycamores in funding their education,” he said. The gala dinner featured “Reflections from William Wood Parsons” with Professor Emeritus Gene England portraying the third president of the Normal School. Parsons was also a member of the first class of 21 students when the school opened in January 1870. The Sesquicentennial Era spans from the 150th anniversary of the passage

ISU chapter weighs in on suspension of Indiana University fraternity Morgan Gallas Reporter

The Delta Alpha chapter of Alpha Tau Omega at Indiana University in Bloomington, Indiana, was suspended from their campus after a video surfaced of explicit activities being performed by active members at a party. This news came after the Zeta Omicron chapter at Indiana State University was removed from Indiana State University’s campus. Junior professional aviation flight technology major Harrison Smith was the social chairman of ATO and is now an alumnus. “Recently, a video has emerged showing explicit acts being performed by an active member of the former Delta Alpha chapter of ATO,” Smith said. There have been many different stories about what occurred in the video, which caused rumors to spread about the persons involved. “From all accurate accounts, the person pictured in the video had turned 21 the night that the video was taken

where he was surrounded by both active members and new members alike,” Smith said. The video spread around social media and eventually ended up on a popular Greek website, TotalFratMove.com. “As the video came to light, there was a lot of ambiguity and speculation about what exactly the video was of,” Smith said. “Conclusively, ATO’s nationals revoked Delta Alpha’s charter.” The Zeta Omicron chapter went through the removal process after the conclusion of the spring 2015 semester, so they empathize with Delta Alpha’s situation. “It’s unfortunate that this situation has occurred, and we express our regards to the uninvolved members and those negatively affected by the video,” Smith said. “This event is not a representation of Alpha Tau Omegas as a whole, but in turn, it is an example of a critical lapse of judgment.” ATO members combined with other fraternities and sororities to create a program that teaches students about preventing sexual assault. “ATOs nationwide have

joined the campaign to prevent sexual assault that includes 10 fraternities and sororities led by Zeta Tau Alpha and Sigma Nu,” Smith said. “The program aims to equip students with the tools necessary to create safe and supportive chapter cultures.” The program covers topics such as healthy standards for personal relationships, misconceptions about nonstranger sexual assault, intervention techniques for complicated social situations and ways to support a victim or survivor. “There is a whole website devoted to the promotion of philanthropy done by ATO chapters across the nation called ATO Roadshow,” Smith said. “Both IU and ISU ATOs are similar in many ways but most prominently, we are groups of men who had individuals who were living their personal lives affect our chapters as wholes,” Smith said. “If these events had occurred with a member on a sports team, the whole team would not be cut. One player would be removed, and the team would continue on.”

Various events will take place over the next four and a half years to commemorate the university’s history and pay tribute to its numerous contributions to the community of Terre Haute, the State of Indiana, the nation and the world. Several publications are also planned including a new scholarly history of the University authored by Dan Clark, associate professor of history. “We also want to recognize the residents and officials of Terre Haute.

LGBTQ discussion series provides faith perspective Kristi Sanders Features Editor

United Campus Ministry at Indiana State University is having open discussions on a four-part open discussion series. There will be two more discussions held at the Campus Ministry: “Transgender: The Last Frontier” on Oct. 21 at 5 p.m. and “To Come Out — or Not” on Oct. 28 at 5 p.m. Free meals will be provided to all those attending. The discussion that took place on Oct. 14 was called “What Does a Gay Marriage Look Like?” During this discussion David Rose and Philips Ewoldsen, a gay couple who have been together for nine years, showed videos and experiences from their marriage.

“We wanted to share (the ceremony) with our family and educate the community,” Ewoldsen said. The couple goes to a very diverse church. “It’s an open and affirming church,” Ewoldsen said. Ewoldsen thinks that it is important for him to stand with his beliefs when other Christians do not agree with his choices in life. “I think it’s really important that when Christians disagree with us, we respond with love and not hatred,” Ewoldsen said. Williams Hughes, a retired professor in the music department from ISU, is on the program committee for this set of discussions. “People have a right to their ideas but many Christians do not approve of same-sex marriage,” Hughes said. “The

point of this is to give a faith perspective. This lets people know there is more than one way and hate is not the only response.” Rose said he thinks this discussion is important for all to hear and take part in. “I think it’s important to share our story,” Rose said. “Gay marriage is not different than heterosexual marriage. It’s nothing to fear; it’s something to celebrate.” Ewoldsen is also a member of the board for the United Campus Ministry and was part of putting this discussion together. “It’s an important topic to deal with,” Ewoldsen said. “Many believe church is anti-gay. People need to know part of the Christian community is supportive of this.”

Debate broadcasts connect students with politics Miguel Lewis Reporter

With elections right around the corner, The American Democracy Project at Indiana State University found that it would be beneficial to hold a live broadcast of both the Republican and Democratic debates. Presidential debates are typically a way for candidates to showcase what it is that they bring to the table in terms of United States Progression. Graduate assistant and leader of The Democracy Project Allison Ramsey said, “I believe it is important for students to sit in on a presidential debate because it allows them to become more informed about the candidates and their position on issues in today’s society.” In previous years the youth generation has always been encouraged to vote if they are at least 18 years old. However,

NORMAL HALL CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 has been supportive of our institution’s growth and development starting with the 1,500 citizens who signed a petition in 1866 asking the city council to appropriate $50,000 and land so that Terre Haute could become the site of the new normal school,” Bradley said. “Indiana State and the community of Terre Haute are inextricably linked. This partnership has resulted in enhancing the quality of life for our residents, driving economic development, stirring revitalization of the downtown and the riverfront and, most importantly, providing opportunities for higher education to

not all youth understand why it is important to participate in the upcoming presidential election. “It is important that I watch the debate, because I need to be informed about the political structure of this country, beginning with who will be leading this country in 2016,” said senior math major Dillion Beard. Some believe that if one does not participate in the presidential election, there is no right to complain about the work of current or past presidents. The American Democracy Project hopes to get people involved in the political system so that they can make responsible decisions as American citizens. “First, people complain about how things are done, people say that they are treated unfair and that they are not getting the help they deserve as Americans,” said senior public relations major Jordan McNeely. “By watching a presidential debate we gain a better understanding on

how the candidates can help us.” Accompanied by the hashtag #journey2theWH, The Democracy Project aimed to make an impact by using mediums of social media including Facebook and Twitter. There were also refreshments for those who participated in the viewing and discussions during commercial breaks to talk about some of the key points. Students were encouraged to attend future events and invite friends out to become informed about politics and the upcoming elections. “We will be having other events similar to this debate showing,” Ramsey said. “The next one will be the Republican debate taking place Oct. 28. ADP is also planning on sponsoring a number of events throughout the next year leading up to the presidential election. We host events such as these to encourage students to get to know all the candidates upon the arrival of Election Day, so that

they may make a well-informed decision at the polls.” The American Democracy Project is all about pro-action. They want students to vote, to know how to vote, know why to vote and to make well-informed decisions about who they’re voting for. They want to help students understand politics and what is going on around them. “It is extremely important for young people to vote because what our legislators do does have an effect on everyone — old or young,” Ramsey said. “Voting is also a great way to encourage civil engagement. By maintaining a basic understanding of what is happening around us, and informing ourselves on what we can do as citizens is a powerful tool.” “I hope that by the end of the debate or by any ADP event that students are able to walk out more informed and engaged on what’s happening in politics and society.”

many who might otherwise go unserved,” he added. Bradley pledged that the institution would continue to place an emphasis on driving economic development. “Indiana State will continue to meet the workforce needs of the state’s economy by providing well-prepared graduates and increasing degree attainment among adults. We are also focusing on ways to improve the career-readiness of our graduates,” he said. The creation of the Indiana State Normal School in 1865 was a major development in ensuring that the state had the teachers needed to provide a free and common system of education for all,

Bradley noted. “It really was the beginning of teaching as a true profession. “Indiana State’s history of serving a diverse body of students will also be recognized throughout the celebration.” Indiana State has been an inclusive university since its beginning. Our first African-American student enrolled the summer that the Normal School opened in 1870. The first class had more women than men. Many of our students came from lower-income families which remains true today,” Bradley said. “Indiana State is the epitome of why public education was created. Providing opportunity to improve one’s lot in life is a noble and important mission and one that Indiana

State continues to fulfill.” Provost Emeritus C. Jack Maynard and Teresa Exline, chief of staff in the Office of the President, are co-chairs of the Sesquicentennial Celebration. Committee members include: Brad Balch, Candy Barton, Michele Boyer, Cheri Bradley, Paul Bro, Ron Carpenter, Stephanie Jefferson, Rex Kendall, Teddy Lenderman, Jeff Lorick, Cinda May, Chris McGrew, Connie McLaren, Santhana Naidu, Fred Nation, Al Perone, Nancy Rogers, Kevin Runion, Tom Sauer, Michael Shelden and Katie SutrinaHaney.

Homecoming Parade connects ISU, Terre Haute community Meghan Hayes Reporter

The Blue and White Homecoming parade isn’t just your average parade — it’s a tradition. Every year many adults, kids, students, alumni and even their dogs come together to watch and to support Indiana State. Kids eagerly line the streets catching candy and beads while dancing along to the music as the floats pass by. College students and other people participating in The Walk pass by, stopping every now and then to see the floats as well. Some floats seek to raise awareness, such as the Autism Awareness float, while others are there to show all the things each organization has to offer within our great community. The Homecoming Parade exemplifies great pride in Indiana State University. Homecoming was created as a way to get former Indiana State students and graduates to come back once a year to reconnect with other former students, with current students and to reminisce about old times while getting to still see what’s happening in the community today. The parade is an opportunity to gather these people together. Whether as a first time or an annual tradition, the parade has something for everyone. Megan Vangilder, who has been to the parade before, said she “comes for her kids and because it’s just a fun atmosphere.” She also likes “seeing the crazy college students.”

Many organizations and stores throughout the community such as churches, dance clubs including cheer and gymnastics, music stations and restaurants decorated floats or otherwise took part in the parade. The “Frozen” float was one of the many crowd favorites as children jumped up and yelled, “Look, Mom. There’s Olaf!” Children also enjoyed mascots such as the big ice cream cone for Yogurt In Love and the Christmas Mouse. Organizations did whatever they wanted with their flatbeds, which resulted in a number of interesting and creative floats. One float had live music playing, and Baesler’s Market even drove a gigantic shopping cart with people inside dressed like fruits and vegetables. “You could tell that people really enjoyed throwing candy out to the kids, and the reactions on their faces were priceless,” said first-time attendee Christian Clayton. “I saw one group of people even made a sling shot and filled it with candy and launched it out into the crowd. Although it was cold, it was definitely worth it to come out and watch and support ISU.” This event was one of the many ways to get students and fans pumped up for the football game that followed later in the day, especially with the help of the Indiana State Marching Sycamores. The Blue and White Homecoming Parade brought the Terre Haute community and the surrounding areas together for a fun and unforgettable Saturday morning.

‘Crimson Peak’ is haunting but hollow Michael Phillips

Chicago Tribune (TNS)

You may come out of the 1901-set Gothic chiller “Crimson Peak” humming the production design (by Thomas Sanders), or singing arias about the clothes (Kate Hawley, costume designer), or composing symphonies of praise for the mellow, honeyed menace of the cinematography (Dan Laustsen). If looks made the movie — and they can in the right circumstances — this movie would be made. “Crimson Peak” represents not-quiteright circumstances. It’s the latest from co-writer and director Guillermo del Toro. The fantasist is best known for “Pan’s Labyrinth,” and he works very close to his subconscious when his cinematic and storytelling instincts are serving him well. But “Crimson Peak” is frustrating from nearly every angle. It lets the audience race ahead of the reveals, while struggling to put all that tantalizingly rich atmosphere to effective narrative use. The title suggests a particularly gory mountain-climbing movie, but that’s another story. It begins in Buffalo, New York, re-created here with lovely digital effects and good old-fashioned art direction featuring lots and lots of bowler hats and bustles. Aspiring short story writer Edith Cushing (Mia Wasikowska), named cheekily after the Hammer horror stal-

Tom Hiddleston and Jessica Chastain in “Crimson Peak.”

wart Peter Cushing, can see dead people, her late mother especially, who’s given to sudden vapory appearances and cryptic warnings regarding a crimson peak of some sort. Edith has one respectable suitor, a nice doctor (Charlie Hunnam, who gave up the “Fifty Shades” franchise for this?) who smells a rat when his romantic rival hits town. The interloper, Thomas Sharpe (Tom Hiddleston, simultaneously hammy and restrained — how do the Brits manage that so easily?), seeks backers for his clay-mining operation

back home in England. The clay in question is crimson, and the plainly haunted family estate, Allerdale Hall, creaks and groans atop a hill, which is very nearly a … peak. Aha! Sharpe’s sister Lucille (Jessica Chastain, having as little fun as is actorly possible) harbors a not-so-secret secret, and looks like she’ll be killing any minute in every scene. The complicated motivations behind what del Toro intends as a perverse love story serve to clutter, rather than energize, the present-tense action.

Universal Pictures/TNS

Once the action moves to England, and Edith consents to marry her dashing untrustworthy Thomas, the heroine becomes a standard-issue damsel in various sorts of distress. Not even the film’s occasional bursts of ultra-violence, or the endlessly oozing red clay, or Hiddleston crying a red tear, or Chastain swanning around in one flaming crimson ball gown after another, can infuse this gorgeous bore with anything like red-blooded suspense. ©2015 Chicago Tribune.

before they hightail it out of here, taking their money with them. Inevitably, we’ll have to raise taxes. Let’s look at what these counties pay: Denmark’s taxes are at 60.2 percent, Germany’s are at 39.9 percent with an additional 5.5 percent solidarity tax on top of that, and France’s tax rate average is 41 percent but goes as high as 75 percent. In the United States our tax scale starts at 10 percent for low-income people and goes all the way to 39.6 percent. Sanders’ plan includes more additional taxes including a Wall Street tax, Social Security tax hike, a new payroll tax and an increased estate tax. Raising the minimum wage sounds appealing to most, but raising it to $15 an hour like Sanders proposes may have unintended consequences. Take Seattle, for example. They raised the minimum wage to $15 an hour, which resulted in companies scheduling workers fewer hours and working them harder to make up for low staffing. If companies don’t lay off or cut hours, their other alternative is raising the prices of their products, which affects the consumer. The senator’s plan for free college includes lowering interest rates around 2 percent and being able to refinance your current student loans to the new interest rate. The estimated cost per year is around $75 billion. To pay for it, his proposed tax plan would impose fees on stock trades and bonds. A report by the Tax Policy Center found the plan would raise around $51 billion per year. This will discourage people from trading stock or buying bonds, and we all know what a bad stock market can do to the economy. I may be selfish, but I’d much rather pay for my own college than pay for everyone else’s for the rest of my life. Sen. Sanders seems to really care about the everyday American. He supports the FAMILY Act, which guarantees every employee 12 weeks of paid family and medical leave. The presidential candidate has in the past stated he wanted to expand Social Security benefits and provide paid

Democratic debate spotlights Sanders

Under a President Sanders, everyone will ‘Feel the Bern’ Pe o p l e who have met me know that I’m pretty political. I meet people from all walks of life on campus and a subject that Columnist usually comes up is, “Who are you voting for in 2016?” I hear all sorts of candidates’ names and what they think of other candidates. A name that usually comes up is Bernie Sanders. It’s really not a shock to me to hear on a college campus. 54 percent of collegeage voters favor the selfproclaimed Democratic Socialist. That’s 28 percent higher that Sanders’ rival Hillary Clinton. This brings me to a few questions. Why do millennials favor Bernie Sanders? What are his issues? And is a Sanders Presidency good for this country? First off, before we can find the answer to why millennials like Sanders, we must look into his views on the issues. His biggest target and what fires up most of his supporters is his view on the top one percent. There’s no secret that he thinks the rich and wealthy should pay more than the rest. One of the top reasons Sanders gets college students’ votes is because he wants to make college tuition-free and students debt free. He says we need to get big money out of politics. Sanders also wants to raise the minimum wage to $15 an hour over the few years and wants to mandate paid family leave. All these things sound great, but there’s always a price. His issues are a part of his vision to make the United States more like countries like Germany, Denmark and France. These countries provide free college, have universal health care and a high minimum wage. My problem with all these programs is their high price tags, and these countries have high tax rates to pay it. People who support him state that the rich will foot most of the bill, but you can only tax the rich so much

child care. I have no doubt these programs would help people, but, once again, everything comes with a price. To pay to expand Social Security, Sanders’ plan calls on raising the cap on taxable income from $118,500 to $250,000. Sanders claims the plan “will bring in enough revenue to expand benefits by an average of $65 a month.” Under President Sanders, if you made $250,000, you’ll be taxed more in 2017 than you did in previous years. He supports a Medicarelike health insurance for all with a price tag over $9.5 trillion over the next 10 years. I feel universal health care is a great idea, but do we want to trade one poorly planned health insurance plan for another? Money Morning Staff Research concluded the total bill of Sanders’ plan adds up to $12 trillion over the next 10 years, and his tax proposals would only bring in $4 trillion. I have to admit, it sounds nice for everything to be provided for you, but politicians on the left try to create a feeling among citizens that the government will provide for them. This is dangerous thinking. We need to change the mindset in people who would much rather work under a certain amount of hours per week so they still qualify for their government aid. A government that can control the population through dependency can leave the population vulnerable. The government programs were never created to be dependent on, rather they were created as a safety net, to help if you ever needed it. Today’s generation may say I’m insensitive, but they have adapted and accepted a world ruled by political correctness and the thought of “someone else is paying for it.” We need to change the current mindset, and we need to return to the attitude our grandparents had that with hard work, doing the right thing and staying humble, you live a satisfying life. Before you make a decision in 2016, become an informed voter and learn about all the candidates on both sides.

Tuesd a y night, the first Democratic presidential debate aired on CNN. C onColumnist tenders on the stage included big names like Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders, but joining them on the stage were other less-known candidates like Rhode Island governor Lincoln Chafee, Maryland governor Martin O’Malley and Virginia Senator Jim Webb. At the beginning of the debate, Bernie Sanders started his introduction by not introducing himself, but by positing that campaign finance is one of the biggest issues plaguing American democracy today. In her introduction, Hillary said that raising wages was a very important part of her campaign. She was the only candidate to bring up women’s or LGBT rights. O’Malley focused his introduction on, in his own words, “economic injustice.” Chafee pointed out Rhode Island’s economic well-being and the fact that he’s had no scandals as proof that he would be a good president. Jim Webb focused on his military experience and experience in the Senate to make the point that he would be a good president on foreign policy. Things started off with a question to Hillary asking if she’s been consistent with her views. She said, “I’ve been very consistent throughout the course of my entire life.” But is this true? I don’t think it is; she had been against gay marriage until 2013, when she finally changed her stance. Clinton has said before that she doesn’t want to work with the Russians in order to resolve conflicts in Syria, but last week, she said

that the Russians would have to be a part of her proposed no-fly zone over Syria in order for it to work. She has gone back on her own decisions multiple times, admitting that she made the wrong choices. In regard to gun control, Clinton opposed national gun registration in 2008. Now that she’s running against Bernie Sanders, a man who is much farther left than Hillary on most issues, she has started moving more that direction, promising to use executive orders to tackle the gun issue. Candidates were then asked about Russia and Vladimir Putin. Clinton said that the United States has to “stand up to his bullying,” while Sanders advocated for not getting involved in the region and setting up a coalition of Arab countries to take care of these issues. Chafee then chided Clinton for voting to go to Iraq, while saying that “I did my homework” and reminding everyone that he voted against the Iraq War. Sanders said that he had been skeptical about the war since the beginning. He said that he doesn’t support the use of force in some circumstances. A question was asked to Hillary about whether or not she can accurately represent the views of middle class Americans to which she responded that she had humble beginnings and that everyone should have the same opportunity. O’Malley jumped in and said that he wanted to break up the big banks, which Clinton did not want to do. Clinton said that the banks should only be broken up “if they pose a risk,” seemingly ignoring that the same banks are currently engaging in the same risky behavior that led to the Wall Street crash. O’Malley seemed to be strongly advocating for breaking up the big banks, and it’s practically one of the most important aspects of Bernie Sanders’ campaign.

In their closing statements, candidates mostly repeated what they said at the beginning of the debate. Some candidates, like Jim Webb, seemed moved by Bernie’s rhetoric to the point of saying that money in politics “is poisoning our political process.” Sanders and Chafee both advised going to their campaign websites and possibly donating to their campaigns. It seems to have worked for at least Sanders; according to Huffington Post, he raised over $1.4 million between the time the debate started and 3 a.m. Eastern time. Campaign staffers said that they received at minimum 44,000 donations averaging around $31 per donation. Since the debate, there seems to be a bit of a disconnect in who people think won it. The mainstream media is calling it a victory for Hillary Clinton, while Bernie Sanders seems to be the real winner. Sen. Sanders’ performance at the debate not only won him the CNN, Fox News and Fusion focus groups (he even convinced some Hillary supporters to join him), but he also won Time magazine’s poll, in addition to Slate’s, Drudge, Daily Kos and countless other online polls, both locally and nationally, by a very large margin. But for some reason, the New York Times, New Yorker, CNN, Politico, Slate and Vox all said Hillary won. Why? My guess is that it’s because these corporations see Bernie as a threat. The wealthy have gotten comfortable in this country, and they’ll do almost anything in order to keep their positions, even if it means pushing a candidate who the public doesn’t really support. Hillary may seem as though she’s against big banks and corporations, but they’re her largest donors. She’s not a leader for all the American people; she’s a leader for the wealthy American people.

Domestic violence affects more than just women Some people think that domestic violence can only be committed against women by men, but this is certainly not the case. Domestic violence is violence used against a spouse to gain control or show dominance. Contrary to popular belief, it can happen to gender, race or sexual Columnist any orientation. Domestic violence is still a big problem in the United States. In fact, one in four women will be subjected to it, and women between the ages of 18-34 are at the highest risk. Some think that domestic violence can only happen between couples, but this is also false. Domestic violence can also happen between mother and son, daughter and father, or any other

combination. This widens the cases and chances for anyone to be a victim because of drug use, mental issues or other many problems within a family. Statistics show that 60 percent of cases happen in the home. Victims may receive the brunt of the damage, but this also affects children. Statistics show that children in domestic abuse households suffer from abuse 3060 percent of the time. It also shows that children are more likely to suffer from physical and emotional health issues once they are older. This has also shown that children are more likely to learn that behavior in the future and repeat the cycle with their families. There are 10 important signs of domestic violence that may help you save a friend from harm to their relationship health. The first sign would be your partner starting to not trust you. In other words,

they claim you’re cheating or disloyal. The second sign is if they do things to make you feel worthless. They never answer your calls, they say openly that you are worthless and treat you as such. They will also tell you things such as, “You don’t need friends; you have me.” The third, forth and fifth signs go together because they escalate the violence. These signs are hitting, threatening to hurt you and also threatening to hurt themselves. They do this to get what they want, or to make you do as they want. This is usually the step that everyone can see on a person’s body or body language when the other is around. Signs six to 10 are the second stage of domestic abuse; these are also visible to close friends and relatives. They will try to control who you see, isolate you, pressure you into unwanted sex, control access to your money and lastly stalk you and call you constantly. This can warn

a victim that this may be a relationship gone bad and to seek help. The best way to help someone in this situation is to not try to confront the abuser, as this will often anger them and make the victim at risk of more abuse. Try instead to confront the victim in a non-pressure way. This helps them understand that you mean no harm, even if they refuse to believe that they are being abused. Domestic abuse can happen to anyone. It is just more rare to find cases for men and easier to find statistics for women because one in four women are victims. Children can also be exposed to higher risk of health problems such as depression or anxiety. There are also many signs that can show that someone is going through domestic abuse, but since it is mostly unreported, it’s hard to stop it before someone gets severely hurt.

Volleyball trumps Evansville, falls to Southern Illinois

Soccer fights for double overtime tie Junior goalkeeper Brittany San Roman earned nine saves in a 0-0 tie with the UNI Panthers on Sunday afternoon at Cedar Valley Soccer Complex in Waterloo, Iowa. Indiana State is now 5-9-1 on the season, and 0-3-1 in the Missouri Valley. UNI is now 5-7-4 overall, and 1-2-1 in the Valley. “I think as a defensive unit we played very well today,” Head Coach Erika True said. “That is showing up with the shutout. We had quite a few opportunities inside the 18-yard box today that we probably should have capitalized on a bit more than what we did. The good news is that we are creating opportunities but the bad news is that we did not get the final product today.” Kate Johnson and Maddie Orf led the Sycamores offensively — both recorded four shots. Johnson had two on-frame while Orf added one. Sydney Lovelace added three shots, with one on-frame. Katie Wells came in off the bench and earned two shots, while Maggie Richard and Brice Bement each added one shot. San Roman played the full 110 minutes in-goal, recording nine saves in the contest. The Sycamore defense allowed 28 shots to the Panthers, but earned the third shutout of the season. Indiana State held an 8-3 advantage in corner kicks over the Panthers but were unable to score. ISU had six players play the full 110 minutes. Wells and Elly Freesmeier each played 83 minutes after injuries took out two starters for the Sycamores. The Sycamores return to action on Saturday at 8 p.m. at Loyola Soccer Park as ISU faces off the Loyola Ramblers in Chicago. Story by ISU Athletic Media Relations.

Game One A slow offensive night halted the Indiana State Sycamores as it dropped a four-set decision (9-25, 25-22, 20-25, 26-24) to Southern Illinois on Friday night inside ISU Arena. ISU was led by junior right side Kynedi Nalls who tallied 16 kills, and senior middle blocker Cassandra Willis led with a .500 clip (9-1-16) but the rest of the offense struggled as it put together its second-lowest hitting percentage of the season (.123). Three players notched double digs in the back row led by junior Shannon Murphy (12). Nalls also led the way on the block with four combined (one solo, three assisted) as the Sycamores’ defense also tied its second-lowest block outcome of the season with just five on the night. ISU struggled in set one, putting just nine points on the board. It moved on successfully in set two, as it got help from a 5-0 run midway through. SIU threatened after a Sycamore block error, but ISU rebounded on a kill by redshirt senior Carly Wishlow and posted a 25-22 victory in the frame. But the third set fell the Salukis’ way as it separated itself in the set by a 7-2 run after the score was knotted at 1515. ISU fought hard in the fourth as it exchanged 12 ties throughout but a SIU kill and ball handle error sealed the match. Game Two Indiana State posted four attackers and four players in the back row in double digits to help guide it to a four-set win over Evansville (24-26, 25-12, 2522, 25-11) on Homecoming Saturday inside ISU Arena. Three Sycamores led the attack with 12 kills — redshirt senior Carly Wishlow, junior Kynedi Nalls and sophomore Sarah Peterson. Senior setter Erika Nord and sophomore libero Stephanie Bindernagel shared the lead in digs with 14 each as Nord notched her 10th season double-double with 48 assists. Wishlow also led ISU on the block with six (one solo, five assisted) and senior middle blocker Cassandra

Willis led with a .667 hitting percentage (10-0-15), a new career-high. Both teams hit above .300 in the first set but Evansville needed an extra point to win the frame 26-24. In the second, the Sycamores took control by hitting .483 in the frame as Peterson knocked in five kills. ISU opened the set and took a commanding 8-4 lead and weren’t to be caught as it won 25-12. After the break, ISU picked up its blocking efforts as it tallied 10 of its 11.0 total in the match in the final two sets. The Purple Aces threatened in the

third when it rallied from down six to tie things up at 21-21. Following a Sycamore timeout, Peterson hit one home and Wishlow added another to move it to set point as Nalls slammed the victory point home to win 25-22. A negative hitting percentage by UE was no match for the hard hitting Sycamores who again posted a .481 on four kills each from Nalls and senior middle blocker Cassandra Willis to win the set 25-11 and the match.

Sycamores compete among country’s best at Pre-Nationals Tyler Wooten

Indiana State cross country raced against some of the best distance runners the country has to offer on Saturday at the Pre-National meet, hosted by the University of Louisville. The Sycamore men began the day in the elite Red 8K race, where ISU finished 40th of 42 among 11 nationally ranked teams and two-time defending national champion Edward Cheserek of Oregon. Cheserek actually finished as the runner-up behind Virginia Tech’s Thomas Curtain. Fellow All-American and Sycamore John Mascari finished 30th out of 288 at a new ISU 8K-best time of 23:44.7. Mascari has continually shown improvement this season since returning from a back injury that knocked him out of the NCAA Outdoor Championships last season, even after breaking the all-time MVC 10K record. Outdoor All-American David Timlin also set a new personal best 8K in 112th place at 24:22.4. “We did not have a good day as a team,” said ISU head coach John McNichols. “Mascari was not satisfied with his race, despite setting a new best. This is a team sport, though, and we have a lot to do to get ready for a very tough MVC Championship.” Meanwhile, the Sycamore women finished 13th out of 35 in the unseeded Black 5K race.

Sophomore Taylor Austin led the way again with her fourthstraight top-15 finish, this time in 12th at 21:09.8. Brooke Moore was again ISU’s No. 2 in 46th at 21:45.8, her second-straight top-50 finish. Indiana State will have two weeks to prepare for the Mis-

SALUKI CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 On the ensuing kickoff, the Sycamores tried to catch the Salukis napping, squibbing the kick in an attempt to recover it. Southern Illinois wasn’t fooled and recovered the kick at the Indiana State 47-yard line. Seven plays later the Salukis found the end zone to knot the game at 14.

ISU came out of the half touting a 17-14 advantage and took their second drive of the third quarter 79 yards for a score. Adam found Owens for a 17yard strike that extended the ISU lead to 24-14.

Southern Illinois and Indiana State each scored once more before SIU took over for their final drive of the game trailing 39-28. With three minutes remaining in the game, the Salukis took over from their own 25-yard line. Driving the length of

the field, they found the end zone and set up a must-have two-point conversion attempt. Southern Illinois redshirt freshman Matt DeSomer took an end-around in for the two points, setting up Adams’ on-side kick attempt. After the ISU recovery, all it took was three rush attempts and a kneel-down to ice the victory for the Sycamores.
