Funding group adopts policy changes Nevia Buford Reporter The Student Organization Resource Funding, or SORF, is in the process of changing some of its guidelines.

SORF funds student organizations on campus for events that they host. Some of the groups that receive funding from SORF include the Honors Council, Black Student Union and various sororities.

The group used to be known as Org Funding, but the name was changed along with some of its policies. The group is run by the Student Government Association.

“It was just a new process that’s more objective instead of subjective,” said Shannon Anderson, the vice president of the SGA.

One of the changes made when the group became SORF was to open up the funding process a semester earlier.

Organizations could interview in the spring semester and receive funding the beginning of the fall semester so that they could begin planning their events immediately.

“Because a lot of times organizations hold events early on in the semester and so they wouldn’t be able to receive the funding in time for that,” Anderson said.

Anderson said that another of the reasons Org changed was because of complaints of unfair funding.

“The Greeks always trump,” Anderson said. “In Org Funding they always get more money and it was more of a popularity contest. Those were some of the common complaints.”

New funding process for graduate research

One new aspect that started with SORF is the way that interviews are conducted.

Proposals for funding are reviewed by a committee whose members do not change.

Proposals for Org Funding used to be conducted by any members who were available, Anderson said.

“Sometimes there’d be problems with ‘Someone grades a lot more leniently than other people’ so now we a SORF board made up of five people who hear all the student organizations, so that way it’s the same people and there is no difference in grading,” Anderson said.

Anderson said that the program allows more funding to a group if they host an event for students and don’t charge for tickets.

More funding is also allowed if the

event promotes diversity on campus or special interest groups.

“One of the university’s values is diversity,” Anderson said. “So just as long as it goes along with the university values… we want organizations to be making campus better. We want them to be enhancing (the) student experience.”

Members of the SGA Senate will implement the upcoming changes to SORF. Most of the changes that have been proposed by SORF are minor changes, such as clearing up wording and revising rules that did not work previously.

These changes will be voted on in next week’s senate meeting to decide if they will be accepted. The new changes will possibly come into effect in November, depending on when the new rules are decided on.

Journey of Hope

Kourtney Miller Reporter

Graduate students at Indiana State University now have a new system for applying for research funding.

To apply, students need to go to www.indstate.edu/research/ crsrc.php and click on the funding tab, then they must click on the link to graduate funding and support.

The requirements on submission include a two- to five-page application, making it known whether the graduate money would be used for travel or research.

People can apply if they are a graduate student working towards a graduate degree.

It is important to send in a completed application because students may be rejected for this money.

According to the how to apply tab, if graduate students put things out of order or are over the page limit, this could also lead to rejection. Students can apply for the fall or spring semester and requirements for applying include having a faculty sponsor and applying before Feb. 1, 2016.

Funds up to $600 are given out for graduate student research and travel.

Jenifer Pollom, administrative assistant for the Center for Student Research and Creativity at ISU, explained where the grad funding money comes from.

“We have a budget of $25,000 that is split between fall and spring,” Pollom said. “We try to be fair. We aren’t going to give one person $300 and another person $100. We try to keep it 300/300.”

The bike riders and their team began their journey in Seattle and biked across the country to Washington D.C., raising money for people with disabilities along the way.

ISU student helps coordinate cross-country ride for charity Adler Ingalsbe Reporter

Most college students spend their summers working, interning, vacationing or back at home with their friends and family. One Indiana State University student didn’t get the chance to do any of those things this summer, but said he’ll remember his 2015 break for the rest of his life.

Torin Kellett, senior recreation and sports management major and a member of the Pi Kappa Phi fraternity on campus, spent the summer months on The Journey of Hope, which is a biking adventure that starts in Seattle, Washington, and concludes in Washington D.C. The journey was first started in 1987 with about 20 people taking part, but has expanded to about 35 riders. All of these riders, from different Pi Kappa Phi fraternities across America, ride their

bikes to raise money for people who have disabilities.

Once Kellett initially found out about his fraternity’s philanthropy and what it entailed, he was immediately on board.

“When I first learned about what the Journey of Hope was the moment that I knew I wanted to be a part of the event.

This is an annual event that my fraternity, Pi Kappa Phi’s, philanthropy, known as The Ability Experience, puts on,” he said. “We travel across the United States and raise money for people with disabilities. In each city that we would stay in we would visit a local organization that helped people with disabilities in some way.”

He first began the process of preparing for the journey across America as one of the bicyclists. He spent countless hours on a stationary bike inside the ISU Student Recreation Center to prepare his legs for the long haul that he would endure.

After speaking with the organization

and members of his family, he switched roles and was officially named the team’s community relations coordinator.

In this new position, Kellett had many obligations that included anything from writing thank-you notes to the people who donated their money to the cause to helping the riders. He even had the chance to ride for a while as well.

“The role of community relations coordinator was to ensure that all of the sponsors that we stopped in each city received a thank-you note,” Kellett said.

“We were so appreciative of everything that we received over the trip, and the simplest way to express our gratitude was through a small thank-you note. On top of that, I had each member of the team, cyclists and crew members write a journal each day about how their day went and the events that we took part in each day. This role was just a title for myself, but I was a crew member, and

Sycamore hashtag challenges prejudice on campus Kristi Sanders News Editor

#SycamoresDontHate is a new initiative from the Office of Student Conduct and Integrity designed to increase civility and respect and eradicate acts promoting intolerance of individuals or groups.

This initiative addresses the everyday prejudices and judgments individuals make regarding sexual orientation, religion, class, gender, social class, abilities, race, ethnicity, affiliations, interests and experiences.

Kourtney Barrett, the associate director of Student Conduct and Integrity, helped create the initiative.

“Hopefully, it will challenge Submitted photo students, everyone really, to Students at ISU have begun speaking out against prejudice using the think differently,” Barrett said. #SycamoresDontHate hashtag.

“To be aware of their biases, prejudices and judgments they directly or indirectly impose on their fellow peers, often without even truly knowing them.” #SycamoresDontHate will be back next fall with a new group of students addressing intolerance around campus.

“As a community here at State, we are all Sycamores,” Barrett said. “We should rally together, embrace our different identities and celebrate them. A huge thank-you to the students who were a part of this new initiative.

It takes courage to take a stand against intolerant acts one has experienced.”

The images will remain yearround on the ISU Student Conduct and Integrity Facebook page.

Members of the ISU community can continue to embrace the

spirit of #SycamoresDontHate by intervening when they see or hear acts promoting intolerance.

“Also, thank-you to the community for the overwhelmingly positive response,” Barrett said.

“The likes, favorites and retweets took #SycamoresDontHate further than I imagined.”

Student athletes, groups, organizations and staff were contacted with an “open invitation” to participate.

If students want to be invited to participate next year, they can e-mail Kourtney.Barrett@indstate.edu.

“There is a saying, ‘don’t judge a book by its cover,’” Barrett said.

“There is much more to a person than what meets the eye. Everyone has a story that has shaped their identity. As a community, we need to be better about listening to them.”

False alarm

Rave Guardian app provides extra security for students Dave Taylor

ISU Communications and Marketing

Students at Indiana State University now have a new tool to help them stay safe both on campus and off.

The free ISU Rave Guardian personal safety app for smartphones lets users set a safety timer to notify someone they trust to check on them when they go out. Users with the app can also contact University Police with the touch of a single button and send text messages, including photos, if they see something suspicious.

Indiana State already uses Rave instant text messaging to notify students of emergencies and other incidents on or near campus. Joe Newport, the university’s police chief, said ISU Guardian is a natural extension of that service.

“Rave instant text messaging has proven very popular,” Newport said. “We are committed to doing all that we can to ensure the safety of students, faculty and staff. ISU Guardian is just one more way technology can help keep the campus safe.”

ISU Guardian lets dispatchers at the university’s Public Safety Department or Vigo County Central Dispatch to pinpoint the approximate location of users when they call.

When off campus, users will need to remember to call 911 rather than use the service’s one-touch button.

Privacy is protected when using ISU Guardian. University police are not contacted when students set a timer for their guardian and location is displayed only when calling 911.

The app may be downloaded for both Android and iPhone devices on ISU’s website.

Most fire alarms can be prevented simply by having students be more careful when preparing food or doing other activities that may cause smoke or steam.

Some student activities can cause false fire alarms Morgan Gallas Reporter

Frequent fire alarms in the residence halls have led to upset students; however, all of the alarms could have been prevented.

Indiana State University has equipped every residential room with a smoke detector. Students conduct many activities that can cause the fire alarms to go off.

“There are a variety of reasons for the alarms going off,” said Amanda Knerr, the executive director of Residential Life and Housing.

Knerr said some alarms have been caused by students putting food in microwaves or on stovetops and then walking away, causing food to burn.

Students have also triggered alarms by straightening and curling their hair directly under the smoke sensors.

The alarms can be set off by not allowing the bathroom fans enough time to dissipate the

steam from showers.

Smoking e-cigarettes also set off the alarms because of the vapor they emit.

Additionally, smoking e-cigarettes inside the residential halls is against the hall policy, Knerr said.

“The newer building codes require a higher level of sensitivity on the fire alarm sensors than older codes,” Knerr said. “This increases the safety for students within a building but it also means that the building alarms may go off more often for situations as described above.”

The recent fire alarms were not scheduled drills.

“We do regularly scheduled fire drills in collaboration with Public Safety,” Knerr said. “We also work regularly with our campus safety specialist, Bill Fairbanks, to do regular checks of our fire alarms systems and sprinkler systems to make sure they are in good working order.”

There are many things that students can do to prevent the fire alarms from going off.

“Be attentive when cooking food in the microwaves or on the stove to make sure the food does not burn while cooking,” Knerr said. “Follow your on-campus policies and avoid smoking vapor or e-cigarettes in your room.”

Private bathroom doors should be kept closed after showers so that the fans can dispel the steam from showers.

Hair tools should be used away from sensors, at appropriate temperatures. They should be turned off immediately after use and allowed to cool thoroughly.

Should a student accidentally set off an alarm, they should go directly to the front desk and report what happened.

“While Public Safety and Residential Life can identify the source of the alarm (from) the fire panel, it does help us if we know the source of the false alarm from the student and shortens the length of time that the building has to be evacuated and students inconvenienced.”

Students are warned that they should never attempt to cover a smoke detector.

“Covering the smoke detectors creates a significant safety situation for the student in the room and the remainder of the community,” Knerr said. “In a situation where a real fire is present, covering the smoke detector delays the sounding of the alarm and wastes precious seconds needed for students to safely evacuate the building.”

Students can look up “mock residential hall fires” to see how quickly a room can be consumed with fire and smoke so that they know how crucial it is to evacuate, Knerr said.

Students need to evacuate the building once an alarm sounds.

“While it is easy to assume (the alarm) as another ‘false alarm,’ that may not be the case,” Knerr said. “It is important that every alarm is treated as a real fire and that students move quickly outside to a safe gathering point to wait (for) further instructions.”

Career fair sees record attendance Morgan Gallas Reporter

The Career Center held their last career fair of this semester, drawing its largest attendance in Indiana State University history.

The fair took place on Sept.

23 in the Hulman Center, which is a different location from the usual Hulman Memorial Student Union. The change occurred because of the magnitude of the event. “(Career fairs) try to connect job seekers to the actual employees,” the assistant director of the Career Center Matt Hetzel said.

“We had approximately 155 registered organizations. We also had one of the largest number of students to come to the career fair (with) approximately 1,125.”

Getting such a high number of businesses to attend was the work of the Career Center’s employer relations team with their coordinator, Amy Kingery. She contributes the fair’s turnout to ISU’s progress.

“Indiana State has a lot of recent improvements: our enroll-

ment is growing, the new It’s On Blue campaign, so I think all of that helps get employers to want to come to campus,” Kingery said. “We also have an amazing team at the Career Center with our employer relations team.”

The employer relations team goes out and talks to employers to get them to consider coming to the career fairs and recruiting

ISU’s students.

Career fair success can be measured in many ways such as the number of jobs and internships students obtain or whether students learn anything from the experience. The ISU Career Center measures it in the latter.

“There (are) a lot of different factors that go into (measuring success),” Hetzel said. “Gener-

ally speaking, students are successful. From a career exploration standpoint, students do earn internships and students do earn jobs from going to the career fairs. Networking is where we want students to be successful.”

Career fairs are a good way to practice “elevator pitches,” or two or so minute interviews stating the best qualities about oneself, Hetzel said. “(Businesses) are trying to do mini-interviews with candidates to learn a little bit about them and maybe collect a resume,” Hetzel said. “Career fairs try to get students networking in person to make themselves more than just a piece of paper or an application.”

The Career Center will be holding their Spring Career Fair next semester as well as a health care, criminology and teacher recruitment fairs. “(Career fairs) are a wealth of opportunities,” Hetzel said. “It’s a good way to get some facetime with people and gain networking which makes all of the difference in people’s careers.”

Ways to make money as a college student Dajia Kirkland Features Editor

Let’s face the fact: college isn’t cheap. There’s room and board, textbooks, supplies, loans to pay back and the amount spent on food is an endless abyss. With so much of our money going out and not as much coming in due to the limited supply of jobs on campus, college students are more than eager to find easy ways to make money.

Luckily, the Statesman has got you covered. Here are four ways to make extra cash as a college student. SliceThePie.com will pay for your opinion on music you already listen to. Music is all around us. With so many variations of beats and structure of lyrics, music acts as a creative and emotional outlet for many. We all unconsciously review the songs we hear, whether we know them or not.

However, what if you got paid for doing just that? With Slicethepie you can. Write reviews over a playlist of songs that is designed specifically for you through a music genre survey. Begin your playlist and start making money by writing reviews about an endless number of songs.

Another way to earn money just by giving your opinion is through OpinionOutpost.com. Take surveys over electronics, medicine, politics, sports, advertisements, appliances or even food to gain points and be rewarded with gift cards and cash. The more you participate, the more cash you earn. Surveys are simple and easy to complete and can range from 5 to 15 minutes to take. Users of Opinion Outpost can also put their names in a quarterly $10,000 drawing. Why is giving your opinion so important? Companies want consumers’ thoughts so they can make their products bigger and better. Start earning easy money by just giving your opinion.

Have any extra clothes that you can’t find the space for or just don’t want? Sell them for cash at Plato’s Closet. Plato’s Closet is a gently used clothing store that buys and sells top brand clothing such as North Face, Abercrombie and Fitch, PINK, Nike and many more for prices nearly half their original amount. Bring in your unwanted clothes and accessories — such as purses and bags — to be given cash back on the spot.

You can also make money by selling your Instagram pictures.

Taking pictures is an act that everyone in this day and age is acquainted with. With apps such as SnapChat and Instagram, capturing photos is second nature. However, did you know that you could sell your pictures for cash? By taking simple background pictures of items such as nature or animals, you can receive cash. Things like the default picture in photo frames that you buy are what the pictures are used for. Make money by capturing the simplest of photos.

ISU honors and empowers Wounded Warriors Dave Taylor

ISU Communications and Marketing

For two years after Army veteran Chris Wiese came home from Iraq with a traumatic brain injury, he isolated himself inside his house and did nothing. Nothing that is, except drink — and relive the horrors of war, especially the blast from an improvised explosive device that ended his second tour of duty.

“I didn’t care about myself when I came back from overseas,” said the Champaign, Illinois, man who suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder.

“I just felt like the world did a 360 on me, and I couldn’t trust the world. I was scared to go out in public because I was scared what (was) going to happen.”

But now, the Wounded Warrior Project is helping Wiese recover and begin, however slowly, to once again live a more normal life, he said during a recent Wounded Warrior event at Indiana State University’s Sycamore Outdoor Center.

“They help me get out of the house and actually do things,” Wiese said, his girlfriend Shardai Shelton at his side. “What we’re doing right now is almost like a free vacation.”

A fellow veteran with the Wounded Warrior Project helped Wiese find a new friend — his service dog Kilo. The two played fetch at Sycamore Lake.

Shelton rode the Outdoor Center’s zip ride. The couple’s children played games, and a clown made them balloon animals.

More than 40 veterans and their families attended Indiana State’s fifth Wounded Warrior event. All but the first one have been open to veterans’ families. Make no mistake about it: Families suffer along with their veterans.

“Family definitely helps because they support me,” Wiese said. “I would never have come to functions or anything by myself.”

“It means a lot,” said fellow Army veteran Tim Carter of Indianapolis, who tallied three tours of duty in Iraq. “It allows my family to connect with other families and me to connect with other warriors to just share our experiences and share things that we’ve overcome. Not only has the soldier endured a lot but the families have as well.”

Talking with other injured veterans at Wounded Warrior events about their shared experiences also aids recovery, said Wiese, who is coping much better than in those first two years following his 2010 return stateside.

ISU Communications and Marketing

Chris Wiese, an Army veteran from Champaign, Illinois, prepares to ride the zip ride during a Wounded Warrior Project event at Indiana State University’s Sycamore Outdoor Center on Sept. 27.

Still, it’s much easier for him to talk with others who have served than with “ordinary people off the streets,” he said.

“They look at me with all kinds of different weird looks. I get these things in my head like they think I’m a killer or they don’t know what I’m talking about or I’m telling lies. You feel more comfortable talking to (veterans). You feel like family.”

Alberto Lopez, outreach coordinator with Wounded Warrior Project, said the organization’s goal is simple.

“To honor and empower Wounded Warriors,” he said.

“Getting them out and interacting in the community with other people, other veterans who have served and other resources in the community, like Indiana State University, and just letting them know what resources are out there for them to utilize.”

Don Rogers, professor and chair of the department of kinesiology, recreation and

sport and director of the Sycamore Outdoor Center, said the 80-acre wooded and lakefilled facility near Brazil hosts many events for students and the public, but “none of them is more special to us than the Wounded Warrior program.”

Rogers, a Navy veteran, said the university “took things up a notch” this fall at the request of the Wounded Warrior Project office in Chicago, which wants to use the Indiana State event as a model for the rest of the country.

Hence the clown, games and Boy Scouts providing a variety of activities for children.

The event, and others like it, also helps Indiana State students planning careers in recreation therapy, recreation management and sport management.

“It’s not something you script and overly direct. You set things up for them to have opportunities. You put them in there and you kind of get back out of the way and let them

have the experience,” Rogers said. “Later when they talk about it, they are so exuberant.

They are clearly touched by it.

There’s no doubt they see the educational value. It helps reaffirm their commitment and passion to a field where they can do this sort of work.”

While several Indiana State University students helped out at the event, Nicholas Mason, a senior recreation and sport management major from Fishers who has served in the Air Force, was on hand primarily as an observer in preparation for leading a university-run Wounded Warrior program next spring.

“Being a veteran myself, I’ve seen firsthand how going overseas and coming back home can affect people differently,” he said. “It’s good to have these kind of outlets where you can be around people who’ve sort of experienced the same thing and be able to talk to them and just not keep it all bottled up inside.”

ISU’s radio station offers students volunteer opportunities Nialah Boykin Reporter

Indiana State University’s radio station, WISU, is ready to equip students with real-world experience in a wide variety of media fields.

Students are encouraged to volunteer at the radio station to have hands-on experience and to also have fun.

Volunteering benefits students by offering training through student directors and preparing students for their careers.

When volunteering there is no formal recruiting process. Richard Green, radio station manager, advises students to come in and speak with him or a student director to start their exploration of the many opportunities offered.

“I have had a great experience with the volunteers. Most people who come want to learn and we want to offer a home away from home,” Green said.

Students who volunteer are the first to be evaluated for hire once a position opens at the radio station.

There are student director positions that will eventually need to be filled, and also DJ and sports

Walking the legendary Camino pilgrimage DJ Reynolds Reporter

On Sept. 30, the library hosted a showing of the documentary “Walking the Camino,” the story of six people walking a medieval pilgrimage. The event was hosted by David Cook, the president of the Camino and Dr. Lisa Calvin, ISU professor. The documentary focuses on six individuals walking the Camino de Santiago, a journey completed by many to enhance self and/ or spiritual cleansing.

The six individuals are Thomas, Annie, Wayne, Misa, Sam and Tatiana.

The pilgrims from the film are from different backgrounds around the world such as American, Canadian, Danish, Brazilian, Portuguese and French.

The Camino is served

as a religious pilgrimage from different points that end at the Cathedral of Santiago de Compostela in the city of Galicia, Spain.

Many people from around the world come to Spain to walk the 500-mile Camino, but it’s not always with a religious or spiritual purpose. People have been walking the medieval Camino for over 1,200 years — through rain, heat, wind and the cold just to get to the end.

The documentary has inspired hundreds by watching how people with unfortunate lives have found peace and also themselves after they have completed their walk.

Thomas, one of the people featured in the documentary, said walking the Camino was “like setting a tough goal for yourself and finding a way to achieve it.”

ISU polite in the face of zealotry

Friday, Oct. 2, 2015 Page designed by Sarah Hall

Statesman Editorial

With a new semester comes the return of Brother Jed and his crew, preaching at students from outside the Performing Arts Building.

Hilariously enough, though, Brother Jed and company have been running around to other college campuses causing chaos.

We here at Indiana State University are fairly used to Brother Jed’s antics, as we have been dealing with it for years now. However, other campuses seem to lose their minds over their combative techniques. DePauw University students attacked Brother Jed and Co. in retaliation to their tactics.

DePauw gave them exactly what they wanted — a rise from students.

We here at ISU may get heated, but we at least usually avoid physical assault.

There are students attempting to have Brother Jed removed from campus for a year, but this effort is — honestly — probably fruitless.

The fact of the matter is that nobody goes about this situation correctly.

Brother Jed and Co. will never reach the students they want to. Yelling at students about their sins is not going to change their minds and will only inflame them.

Students yelling back at them are also in the wrong, as no amount of shouting will change their minds either. A petition may temporarily have them removed, but they will most likely be back. If we really want them to leave, we need to just ignore them.

If they don’t have an audience to preach to, there is no reason to be here. Screaming at them only encourages their behavior and convinces them that we need the salvation they claim to bring.

As unhappy as some students may be about their presence, they do have a right to be here and speak their mind. As a college campus, we should be more accepting of different viewpoints and opinions, even if we think they are using their religion as an excuse to be hateful.

While Brother Jed and his company of zealots may have had good intentions at the beginning, it’s starting to feel like a show put on for the sake of putting on a show.

They have been increasingly inflammatory as their popularity has increased, suggesting that it is, in fact, all for show. We should feel special that they seem to prefer our campus, but we also need to remember how to be respectful.

The way we treat these people shows the world who Sycamores really are. We should distinguish ourselves by treating them with the respect that they don’t show us.

Regardless of how much you disagree with them, remember to respect them. It is also wise to think about what ends you truly want to meet and make a decision from there about whether or not to argue with them. Most of the time, it simply isn’t worth the time.

His colleagues all said they were shocked. Apparently some tears were shed. The resignation comes right afColumnist ter Pope Francis’ visit to Congress. Since then, speculation has abounded in regard to who will replace him.

It is very possible that the Tea Party could secure the spot for someone of their choosing. The website for “Fortune” magazine listed their top three picks for new speaker, and two of their picks have strong ties to the Tea Party.

They list Reps. Jim Jordan from Ohio and Tom Price from Georgia.

Both of these men have voted at least once in favor of a government shutdown in order to get what they want, and Jim Jordan has been a strong proponent in using “strong-arm tactics” in particular.

But the top candidate right now to replace Boehner is Kevin McCarthy.

He is currently the House majority leader. He’s more of an establishment choice than Jordan or Price. The issue with McCarthy is that the Tea Party will probably see McCarthy’s willingness to work across the aisle on some issues as some sort of extension of Boehner’s work.

The only thing that seems to be in McCarthy’s way is the Tea Party. A couple of years ago, the Tea Party Caucus did not meet, causing many to question whether or not the Tea Party was still active. It has become clear since then, however, that they are indeed still ac-

tive. In politics today, if a Republican is willing to work across the aisle on even one issue, the Tea Party will decry the politician as a “Republican in name only” (RINO) and campaign strongly against the politician. Compromise has always been a part of politics, and by maintaining a hardline stance against any compromise at all, the Tea Party has at least kind of stalled progress in our political system.

Looking at a list of Tea Party Republicans, it becomes clear that those in the Tea Party Caucus are often the ones who advocate for shutting down the government in order to get their way, rather than compromising and working together for the betterment of the country. Since the Caucus started in 2010, Tea Party Republicans have included Michelle Bachmann, Louie Gohmert, John McCain, Marco Rubio, Mitch McConnell, Rand Paul and Ted Cruz. Ben Carson, while not having officially been part of the Tea Party Caucus, is now being pushed as the Tea Party’s choice for Republican presidential candidate.

The Tea Party has done major damage to the Republican Party. It has not only divided the larger political field between Democrats and Republicans even further, but it has also divided the Republican Party itself. By riling up a small, more conservative part of their base, the Tea Party has, in essence, created a smaller party inside the Republican Party, which is an issue.

For instance, in 2012, Tea Party Senate candidate Richard Mourdock beat out the incumbent Richard Lugar and won the Republican nomination for one of Indiana’s Senate seats. Richard Mourdock, having said that becoming pregnant from a rape is “something that God intended,” predictably lost his seat to current Democratic Sen. Joe Donnelly. It is perfectly possible that someone who was not as far right

as Mourdock — Richard Lugar, for instance — could have won the election against Donnelly, but because the Tea Party had divided the Republican base, they lost the election.

Not only is the Tea Party disconnected from the establishment Republican Party, but the Tea Party is also disconnected from the American people. According to Gallup, 60 percent of Americans believe that same-sex marriage should be protected the same way that traditional marriage is. On the other hand, 37 percent of Americans are against same-sex marriage, which is the official position of the Tea Party.

A majority of Americans (47 percent) believe that gun control laws should be stricter than they currently are, compared to the 38 percent of Americans who believe that laws should be kept the same as they are now. Sixty-five percent of Americans agree that illegal immigrants should be allowed to become United States citizens if they can meet certain requirements over a number of years, compared to 19 percent who believe illegal immigrants should be deported.

With these numbers, it becomes easy to see that the Tea Party is severely disconnected with voters. It’s not difficult to see why they’ve had trouble winning some elections in recent years. What I don’t understand, however, is how such a fringe group of a major party still holds such sway in the party. The Tea Party still has several politicians in Congress, such as House Majority Whip Steve Scalise.

These Tea Party politicians represent a minority of Americans, yet they claim to represent the best interests of all Americans. If the Republican Party wants to maintain relevancy in the American political scene, it would be best for them to move away from being so easily swayed by the Tea Party.

Clinton still in hot water over e-mail scandal

As many of you know, Hillary Clinton has gotten herself in some hot water over this email scandal.

Many people don’t understand the severity of Columnist this incident, so they often overlook the issue. Let’s break this down for the people who need to be brought up to speed.

When Hillary Clinton was appointed secretary of state, a position now held by John Kerry, she chose not to use the

Anthony Michalisko

email account that the government had provided.

Instead, the secretary of state purchased her own private server and did all her state department and personal business through this server.

Some people may not think anything about this, but let me tell you how bad this is. The secretary of state deals with a lot of top levels of information and intelligence.

The government provides top level officials with secured email accounts that provide more protection than a server that someone may go purchase.

Hillary Clinton knowingly disregarded the normal practice and went out and purchased one for herself.

Since there was only low-

level protection on Clinton’s server, many experts fear that countries like Russia and China may have hacked it.

When the server was subpoenaed, Clinton said she had over 30,000 personal emails deleted. That’s where she was caught.

The FBI announced that they found top-secret information in the deleted emails. Clinton said many times that no emails had been marked classified, knowing that the intelligence community never marks the emails classified. The person who receives the email should know by reading the material what level of classification it is.

This steams me because General Petraeus was railroaded when the administration found

out that he had leaked classified information to a reporter.

Yes, it was wrong of him to do so, but I feel Hillary will get out of this with only a few bumps and bruises.

There were at least 12 classified emails the FBI recovered, three of which were at topsecret clearance. Some of the emails stated that the account had been attacked by Russianlinked hackers at least five times.

Here’s what I think will send Hillary running to the seamstress for a bright orange pantsuit: According to United States Code Title 18 Part 1 Chapter 93 Section 1924, unauthorized removal and retention of classified documents or material by “an officer, employee, contrac-

tor or consultant of the United States” will result a fine and/ or imprisonment of up to one year.

After all of this evidence, I still think Clinton will find her way out of this one. To many people, a Clinton scandal is no shock.

We’ve been dealing with the Clintons for years. I believe that Clinton will be brought up on charges and be forced to drop out of the race.

Joe Biden will then be endorsed by President Obama.

As for Hillary’s good service to the administration, she will be pardoned by the president.

Yes, another Clinton will get away, but the plus side to this is she’ll never be president — and that’s good enough for me.

Sycamores and Bears collide in MVC opener Rob Lafary Sports Editor

Most days that I attend an Indiana State football practice, head coach Mike Sanford is in a pleasant and talkative mood. Wednesday night though was a different story.

What kind of mood he was in? I’m not sure. His Sycamores are 2-1, ranked No. 21 in the FCS polls and are coming off of last week’s bye week much more healthy and rested, so one would assume everything was A-OK. But a somber look on his face and a rather distant mind suggested otherwise.

The only thing I can think is that Coach Sanford sees something the rest of us don’t see — the fact that his football team has nowhere near played up to potential.

Not that ISU has played badly. The above-mentioned feats so far this season are agreeing that the Sycamores have played above-average football four weeks into the season.

But for someone as driven as Sanford who has made lofty expectations with his team, his words reiterate the fact that his group has yet to scratch the surface.

“I see us as a team that kind of has a lot to prove,” Sanford said after practice on Wednesday. “We still haven’t really done anything. We beat Butler, we lost to Purdue and didn’t play very well and we had to scramble to beat Southeast Missouri State. It was a good win, an encouraging win, but we have a lot to prove. I’m excited about it. I think there’s a lot of positives there but based on what we’ve done, we’ve got a lot to prove heading into conference play.”

The chance to prove something inside the Missouri Valley Football Conference starts with Saturday’s game on the road at 1-2 Missouri State.

After the Sycamores defeated the Bears in ESPN Top 10 style last year with the infamous “Circle of Death” play on a kickoff return that set up Eric Heidorn’s game-winning field goal in a 20-18 victory, the Springfield gang hopes for a little payback.

“Missouri State is a really good football team,” Sanford said of Saturday’s opponent. “What’s happened with them to date is no indication of who they are. We have a ton of respect for them. We lost to them soundly two years ago and last year

HOPE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 that meant that I was in charge of making sure the cyclists were hydrated and nourished properly and to ensure they were following all of our policies and procedures as well.”

After receiving the title of community relations coordinator, he flew out to Seattle where the journey across the United States would begin.

In just 75 days, Kellett and his team traveled 4,280 miles and went through numerous states, including Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, Kansas, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, West Virginia, Virginia — the final destination being Washington D.C. At the start of the trip, he had some difficulties adjusting to his role and being away from family and friends for such a long period of time, but knew he could always talk to them when he needed and eventually got quite comfortable with life on the road.

“It was difficult at the beginning of the summer,” Kellett noted.

“Whenever I was having a tough day I could always text my family or my fraternity big brother. They were all so supportive. However, as time went on, it became easier to get up early and start my day.”

While he was able to travel to and through several states and see some unique landmarks and stadiums, he said the best part of the trip was being able to help people out on a daily basis.

“Being able to see the impact on each and every person’s face that we helped was one of the best things about the trip,” Kellett said. “Our visits brought so much joy to so many different people and it was so rewarding.”

While he isn’t sure if he’ll be able to be a part of the Journey of Hope in the summer of 2016, he knows that he had the ride of a lifetime.

“I wish more than anything that I could return for a second summer,” Kellett said when reflecting on the experience. “However, the time commitment proves to be a difficult hurdle to get over, (but perhaps) one summer in the future I will be able to return and do the Journey of Hope again. The Journey of Hope was truly a growing experience for me. I learned a lot about myself, working with a diverse group of people and even people (who) aren’t the same as I am.”

we had to do the Circle of Death play and kick a field goal. It’s tough to win on the road so we’ll have to bring our best game with us.”

The Bears rank toward the bottom of each statistical category in both the MVFC and the FCS, but two of their three games have come against FBS opponents, ultimately giving the team a deceiving look on paper.

Missouri State dropped a 63-7 game at Memphis to begin the year and were equally pounded by Arkansas State the following weekend, 70-7.

MSU won its first game this past weekend, winning 21-13 at home against Division II school Chadron State.

The team has allowed an average of 508 yards per game against opponents while the offense has mustered up just 291 yards per game.

Of that, only 132 yards come through the air.

Each side of the ball though for Missouri State does present a weapon.

On offense, running back Calan

Crowder ranks as the eighth best running back in the MVFC. Crowder, a sophomore, has carried the ball 39 times for 211 yards for an average of around 70 yards per contest.

On the defensive side, it’s junior linebacker Dylan Cole who has done most of the damage for the Bears. Cole ranks 25th nationally with 10 tackles per game.

He has 30 tackles this year with 3.5 tackles for a loss and two pass breakups.

“They (Missouri State) are a spread team on offense,” Sanford noted. “They’ve got two quarterbacks, a really good running back and one of the best offensive lines in the league. On defense, they’ve gone to a 4-3 defense instead of a 3-4.

Cole is an excellent player and they are a very good team. We’ve got our work cut out for us.”

On the flip-side, ISU is just hoping to continue to grow, and do so with a much healthier roster.

Linebackers Kendall Walker and Antonio Broadus, cornerback Kevin Beacham, right tackle Preston Collier and defensive

end Alec Lyons all make their return to the depth chart after suffering various injuries.

Running back LeMonte Booker, linebacker Connor Underwood and defensive end Conrrad Nicholls will be gametime decisions on Saturday but still have a shot at playing, Sanford said.

Aside from that, Sanford believes his team’s execution is not in question, but would like to see a little bit more production from his group on Saturday, especially on third down situations.

“I think in general we need to improve on third downs,” Sanford added. “We need to be better on third down conversions and we have to do a better job on third downs on defense and getting their offense off the field. That’s a situation and that’s probably the number one thing we have to improve on.”

Kickoff on Saturday is set for 3:05 p.m. at Robert W. Plaster Stadium.

The game can be heard locally on 95.9 WDKE or seen worldwide on ESPN3 and the WatchESPN app.

Lovelace refuses to let ACL injury define her career Two years after tearing her ACL, Sydney Lovelace is having her most productive season in Sycamore Blue, scoring seven goals and earning three assists through 10 matches in 2015.

Despite the injury, Lovelace has earned a place in Indiana State soccer history, being one of the most productive players in school history.

During the 2013 season, Sycamore Soccer won the most matches by an ISU team and earned a second place regular season finish in the Missouri Valley Conference and a runner-up finish in the MVC tournament. However, Lovelace tore her ACL in the 12th match of her sophomore season at Memorial Stadium against MVC rival Illinois State and was lost for the final seven matches of the season.

Prior to the injury, Lovelace had scored two goals and assisted five more during her sophomore season. Lovelace had already etched her name into the record book after her freshman season. She earned All-MVC Second Team honors as well as All-Freshman team honors after scoring four goals and finishing third in school history for shots taken in a season (59).

After her injury, Lovelace knew that there was some work to be done to rejoin her team in 2014.

“My recovery from my ACL was right around eight months.” Lovelace said, “I was ready to go just in time for summer workouts so I stayed in Terre Haute that summer to get my fitness back.”

Lovelace maintained a positive attitude throughout the rehab process after the injury.

“After it happened I only let myself get upset about it for a day or so then I immediately started thinking about my comeback.” Lovelace said, “I tried my best to work as hard as I possibly could during rehab because I knew if I didn’t, I wouldn’t be able to come back as strong as I was before.”

ISU Communications and Marketing

Lovelace (in blue) chases down the ball in ISU’s match against Marshall in Memorial Stadium.

“Sydney bounced back better than any player I have ever seen after an ACL injury,” said head coach Erika True, “She did her rehab the right way and had a great mentality the whole time.

She has become a better player since.”

In her comeback season in 2014, Lovelace led the team with five assists, and finished second on the team with four goals scored.

Lovelace started all 17 matches and finished second on the team with 13 offensive points in 2014. However, the Sycamores had a disappointing campaign, finishing 4-10-3 and 1-5 in the MVC. Lovelace and ISU have already equaled the win total from last season during the 2015 campaign, though as they are currently 4-6. Lovelace has scored seven goals and tallied three assists during her senior season. The seven goals are personal best in a season and is tied for fifth-most in a season at ISU. Lovelace has been one of the top offensive performers in Sycamore Soccer history. She

ranks in the top 10 all-time in all career offensive categories, including points (47), points per game (0.8), goals (17), assists (13), shots (150) and shots on goal (62). She also holds the school record for offensive points in a match (seven) and recorded Indiana State’s firstever hat trick this season after netting three goals and assisting another in a 6-0 victory over Chicago State on Sept. 18.

“After setting the record against Chicago State I was really excited,” Lovelace said.

“Since my freshman year it has always been one of my personal goals to hold some kind of record here at ISU and to finally accomplish this goal is just a really good feeling.”

Lovelace used the offseason to continue to improve her skills on the pitch. During this past summer, Lovelace played with the Dayton Dutch Lions in the W-League, a women’s pro-am soccer league with teams all over the nation.

“I played with girls from huge conferences and even some national team players from other countries,” Lovelace

said. “Being in the training environment all summer, along with doing a lot of fitness and strength work, helped me take my game to the next level.”

Lovelace and the rest of the Sycamores are ready to take their shot at reaching the MVC tournament again in 2015. The Sycamores reached the tournament championship during the 2012, and 2013 seasons before missing the tournament all together in 2014.

“We need to stay focused and forget about last year. It is a new year and nothing else matters but what we do starting against Drake,” Lovelace said. “If we come out and play as a team and everyone plays to their full potential there is no doubt in my mind that we will be very successful.”

Lovelace and the Sycamores start their conference schedule Friday night in Des Moines, Iowa, as they take on the Drake Bulldogs at 8 p.m. at Cownie Soccer Complex in the first MVC match of the 2015 season.
