Help for drug abuse on campus

Sycamores use counseling services for alcohol and substance abuse

STEVE WININGER REPORTER For those with drug and alcohol problems, there is help through different sources on Indiana State University’s campus.

With an increase in student drug and alcohol use, it is good to know that there is help for those who think they may have a problem. For those who choose to continue to take chances, there are consequences as well.

The Student Counseling Center offers services to students who think they may or do have a problem with substance or alcohol abuse.

Kevin Myers, a graduate student counselor at the counseling center, said all services at the counseling center are confidential.

“Students that come here [are] seeking help for a substance abuse problem, or [if] they are a minor that has an alcohol problem, [they] will not be turned over to authorities,” Myers said.

The $30 per semester or $60 per year fee that shows up on the student’s account is billed discretely as a wellness fee and does not mention it is for counseling services.

This helps students whose parents monitor the student’s finances to keep their treatment private. The counseling center is staffed with experienced licensed psychologists, social workers and graduate student counselors.

Although the counseling center has outreach programs where they have tables at orientation, the library extravaganza and the upcoming homecoming, not all students are aware that the counseling center exists, or that they do offer services for substance and alcohol abuse.

Senior history major Kenneth Atkinson said he needed help for some stressrelated issues and went to the psychology department at Root Hall to seek help. He knew there was a counseling center but it had moved and he did not know where it had moved to.

Atkinson, who is also a recovering alcoholic, said he did not know the center offered services for alcoholism until after he started receiving counseling.

Atkinson said it is very easy for drinking or drug use to become a problem without a person realizing it. He said he attended Michigan State University after high school and he knows how easy it is to get caught up in partying.

“You can’t pay attention in class when you are at home sleeping off a hangover,” Atkinson said.

Atkinson said the best advice he can give from his experience is to seek help, not just for substance and alcohol abuse, but also for any emotional issues. He said emotional issues could cause a student to become

susceptible to drug or alcohol abuse and addiction. Atkinson also said it is best just to not start drinking or using drugs.

Chief of Police and Director of Public Safety Joseph Newport said the counseling center is competent and has a great staff.

Students who do not admit they may have a problem, or, as Chief Newport said, continue “testing the systems,” may find themselves being referred to student conduct for disciplinary action.

“Unfortunately, [police] educational methods are when we are called,” Newport said.

Newport said that student conduct can refer a student to counseling, suspend or even expel a student, depending on the types of offenses. He also said that student conduct is good at determining the appropriate actions to take in each case.“If students continually break the rules, then maybe they are not a good fit for Indiana State,” Newport said.

It can be difficult to locate the counseling center if a student is not very familiar with campus or has not used the counseling center since it moved. The counseling center is still listed on the sign in front of the student clinic.

The Student Counseling Center is located on the seventh floor of the Hulman Memorial Student Union. Their hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday.

Wi-Fi issue causes temporary connection woes Kristi Ashby News Editor Indiana State University experienced trouble with the ISU-OIT-WPA wireless Internet connection that many students, faculty and staff members use on campus.

On Monday, Oct. 6, at approximately 10 a.m., the system providing the authentication service for ISU-OITWPA experienced a problem. At that time OIT staff initiated corrective measures.

The Internet connection that many people on campus did use for their Internet access will be changing from ISU-OIT-WPA to ISU-SECURE by the end of the semester.

ISU is currently experiencing issues with a network component that controls Internet access.

This affects the ISU-OIT-WPA wireless connectivity and the ISU VPN system, which allows access to the network from off campus.

All campus students, faculty and staff who are still using ISU-OIT-WPA for their wireless access were impacted by this change.

Robert Barley, the technology infrastructure service director, explained the issue with the WPA connection.

“We have not switched from ISU-OITWPA to ISU-Secure,” Barley said. “The system providing the authentication service for ISU-OIT-WPA was fully functional by 4:45 p.m. It is important to note ISU-OIT-WPA has not been removed from service at this time; however, there are plans to remove it sometime within the next few months.

Any removal of this service will be conducted in conjunction with an effective communication campaign where users are notified and provided with instructions for connecting to the ISU wireless network.”

During the period of time when ISUOIT-WPA was unavailable, users were instructed to connect to ISU-Secure.

ISU-Secure has been available to all ISU campus users since August, and there are no plans to either change its name or remove it from service.

ISU-Secure is more up-to-date, has enhanced security features and uses different authentication technologies than ISU-OIT-WPA. There were some issues with the WPA connection, but OIT was able to fix them that same day.

Virtual Private Network users were not able to access campus systems until this issue was resolved.

In an email sent to all students through the ISU Help Desk, students were warned of the changes that would be taking place this semester. This email was sent at the beginning of the fall semester.

If anyone on campus has issues connecting to the wireless internet, they

can contact the help desk during its normal business hours at 812-237-2910 or go to Stalker Hall in room 009 to visit the Student Computer Support Center.

ISU officer receives Carnegie Medal for 2012 rescue Dave Taylor

ISU Communications and Marketing Chris Heleine isn’t a coin collector, but he’ll find a special place to display a new coin bearing the likeness of industrialist and philanthropist Andrew Carnegie that he is about to receive.

An Indiana State University police officer, Heleine is among 21 individuals from the United States and Canada announced Tuesday by the Carnegie Hero Fund as the latest recipients of the Carnegie Medal for risking their lives while saving, or attempting to save, the lives of others.

Heleine was recognized for pulling an

Indiana State student to safety after the student’s car struck several other vehicles and caught fire in a campus parking lot.

When Heleine first got to the car, he opened the rear passenger door and saw the student slumped over the steering wheel.

He used a fire extinguisher against flames that had advanced to the front passenger door and was able to pull the student to safety moments before flames spread throughout the car and other nearby vehicles.

The student, Mark McKinley, was hospitalized for his injuries, and Heleine inhaled smoke but fully recovered the

next day. A medical incident caused the crash, police said.

Receipt of the Carnegie Medal marks the third time Heleine has been honored in connection with the Nov. 14, 2012 incident.

“I really didn’t think I’d be getting anything this long after it happened.

It’s pretty cool that something I did a long time ago still has an effect on the community,” he said. “It’s nice that there are organizations out there that take the time to thank law enforcement for what they do.”

Joe Newport, chief of the Indiana State University Police Department, said the

recognition reflects well not only on Heleine, but on the entire university force.

“Chris was in the right place at the right time that day, because while his shift was just about to end, he took it upon himself to take one more swing through campus in his patrol car,” Newport said. “All of our officers are professionals who understand that they have chosen a career where they may need to put their own lives on the line to serve and protect others. We’re proud of Chris for his actions and we know any of our officers would have done the same thing.”

Pence promotes Healthy Indiana Plan

During the summer, Governor Pence’s proposed expansion of the Healthy Indiana Plan to Healthy Indiana Plan 2.0 that would expand coverage to three hundred thousand low-income Hoosiers generated a lot of interest.

With its use of Medicaid expansion funds, HIP 2.0 was hailed Political Columnist as “innovative” by the Pence administration, while far-right opponents lamented the plan entirely because it uses “ObamaCare” funds. Amid support and criticism, the Pence administration submitted the plan to the federal department of Health and Human Services for review, negotiations and a highly desired approval.

Julian Winborn

Though many have responded positively to the plan and it has garnered nationwide attention, Health and Human Services is not so impressed. According to the Indy Star, after meeting with Health and Human Services Secretary Sylvia Burwell, Governor Pence stated that “differences remain.”

The Healthy Indiana Plan 2.0 relies on a high-deductible health savings account format that requires enrollees to make monthly contributions; advocates for the plan say that it encourages consumers to have a stake in their healthcare choices.

However, the federal government is not willing to approve the plan with the monthly contributions that the poor would have to make.

This recent announcement of negotiation struggles sheds more light on Governor Pence’s open letter to President Obama that was published last Thursday in a Fort Wayne newspaper, a day before

the president’s visit to Indiana. In it, Pence “respectfully” asks for the president’s support in “achieving a timely approval” for the Healthy Indiana Plan. Pence goes on to detail how the plan has “empowered” enrollees, cites its popularity and mentions its “bipartisan” support in the General Assembly — which has a Republican supermajority. Though on the surface this letter is a legitimate plea, it definitely has a politically calculated motive.

With the letter’s release just a day before the president arrived in Indiana, its embellishment with various positive facts about the healthcare plan and Pence’s plea “for the sake of low income families,” the governor seems to be setting the stage for blame to be placed on the president if the plan is not approved or moves slowly.

With HIP 2.0 generating 2016 presidential buzz around Governor Pence, if his plan fails or is dramatically altered through negotiations, the letter will show

that he fought for the original principles and format of the health care plan.

According to the Indy Star, various advocacy groups for the poor such as the National Health Law Program are calling for changes to be made to the plan’s monthly contribution requirement, and with HHS remaining on that same page, Governor Pence’s hands might be tied.

Pence has firmly established his opposition to expanding Medicaid to insure more low income Hoosiers because he sees Medicaid as “broken,” if HHS does not approve the plan with its contribution requirement and Pence does not make any changes to it to accommodate HHS’ desires, Pence may be seen as willing to sacrifice the uninsured to push a political point.

Whether a political point is proven or not by the Pence administration or HHS, the primary goal is to expand health care to Indiana’s uninsured.

Ebola hitches a ride to the US, spreads fear of epidemic Last week a person in Dallas, Texas, was diagnosed with Ebola Hemorrhagic Fever, commonly known as just Ebola. This has caused people to worry, and the way some news outlets covered the story has increased the irrational fear. Ebola isn’t a threat in developed Columnist nations because of the technology, knowledge and sanitation developed nations have.

The man diagnosed was the first person

Kelsey Golden

in America to contract Ebola. According to ABC, he is Thomas Eric Duncan, a Liberian Citizen who was in America visiting family. He caught the virus in Liberia but did not show symptoms until he was in America.

It can take anywhere from 2-21 days for the Ebola virus to show symptoms, but a person is only contagious when they are symptomatic. Ebola can only be transmitted by contact with bodily fluid of an infected person.

It is hard to contract Ebola; only 10 people in America are at “high risk” of getting Ebola from Duncan, and 50 are at potential risk. All of the people who are at risk have been quarantined. None

of the quarantined people have shown symptoms.

Most people who are at risk are health care workers and family members.

Duncan contracted Ebola from a pregnant woman he was helping in Liberia before he came to America; he drove her to three hospitals where she was denied care, and she died the next day.

The Center for Disease Control is monitoring the patient closely and updating the list of people at risk daily at noon.

It is almost impossible that Ebola will become wide-spread like it has in West Africa. In America, we have proper tools for sterilization, isolation and many well-

trained doctors who legally cannot turn away patients in an emergency room.

West Africa does not have these things, and therefore the virus has been able to spread.

Many people in West Africa do not have access to medical facilities, and even if they do find medical help, there is no guarantee that they will be given care.

Lack of education about the disease and how to prevent infection is also a major contributing factor to its spread in West Africa. Families of people infected with Ebola are most likely to contract the disease.

Families often care for the sick people, Ebola Continued on PAGE 5

EBOLA CONTINUED FROM PAGE 4 and this causes them to get Ebola themselves. In addition to this, many places in the region practice traditional burial techniques that involve handling the deceased, and this could lead to more people becoming infected.

The current patient infected with Ebola is being cared for in isolation. His family is also being isolated for 21 days, which is the maximum incubation time of the Ebola virus. The CDC and Texas Health Department are handling everything very well. They are finding a contracting company to sanitize the apartment.

They are also trying to find the best way to dispose of the patient’s clothes and

bedding. The family of the infected patient is on house arrest for the quarantine time to prevent anyone else from becoming infected. If they leave the house, they will be arrested. Fear of an Ebola outbreak in America is irrational. There are too many systems set up to keep Americans safe.

The CDC is handling the situation very well and is adamant that there is not going to be an outbreak of Ebola in America.

We have clean hospitals with good sanitation techniques, knowledge on how to prevent diseases from spreading and well trained doctors to care for the sick properly. All of these things make it so an outbreak is not going to happen.

Student body bleeds for Terre Haute community Marissa Schmitter Reporter Indiana State University students didn’t bleed blue like usual, but instead bled red for a cause.

As part of the kickoff for homecoming, a blood drive was hosted in Dede II and III by the Indiana Blood Center.

Usually the people who run the blood drives are begging students to donate, but that certainly wasn’t a problem at this time around. In fact, ISU students had to wait to give blood.

The nurses kept asking students if they had a clear schedule the rest of the day because so many students were waiting in line to donate blood and the line to register was snaking out the door.

The Indiana Blood Center has been in partnership with Indiana State University for over 10 years, providing blood to local hospitals such as Regional and Union.

Shelly Shearer, a field representative with Indiana Blood Center, likes giving back to the community.

“We’ve been doing this for more than 10 years,” Shearer said. “It is a great way to give back to the community.”

The process of giving blood takes about an hour. Students must first register. Once they register they get a medical check, and if the student does not get deferred for various reasons,

they proceed to give blood. Students are required to have a snack and drink afterwards so that the Indiana Blood Center knows the students are well after donating a pint of blood.

Donating just one pint of blood can save up to three lives. Last year approximately 150 units of blood were donated between the two days of the drive, which saved many lives within the Terre Haute community.

Although many of the students who donated blood are a part of a sorority or fraternity, many other ISU students stepped up too.

“Thirty percent of the blood we collect comes from educational systems,” Shearer said.

Klaudia Rogers, a sophomore human development and family studies major, is the blood drive chairperson for the homecoming committee.

“Last year we had around 250 students, so this year I’d like to go over that. Of course it saves lives, but it also shows how kind-hearted people can be for a good cause. I definitely want to be involved again. It’s been great!” Rogers said.

Freshman Jamie Maloy, a criminology major, is glad she donated blood.

“I want to help people. I feel good knowing other people will have my blood to save them,” Maloy said.

Freshman Steven Vischak, a communication major, also participated in the blood drive.

“We were encouraged through my fraternity to donate, but I have a rare blood type so I try to donate blood every 60 days. I have donated about 20 times,” Vischak said.

Monday’s blood drive produced 101 units of blood donated from ISU students, which can save up to 303 lives.

“We are very pleased with those results,” Shearer said.

ISU should also be pleased with the results. ISU is number one in community service, and giving blood is one of the best services to give.

Many hope that ISU and the Indiana Blood Center will continue their partnership and save even more lives by students giving just a pint of blood because it’s a great homecoming tradition that unites students and the community.

Low-budget horror flick a unique experience Kylie Adkins Opinions Editor “The Town that Dreaded Sundown” is a movie made in documentary fashion in 1976. It had an incredibly low budget, but it was loosely based on a true story, taking place in Texarkana. It is set in 1946 Arkansas.

The supposed killer was never caught, but he murdered at least five people and attempted to murder at least two others.

I have always felt that the 1970s had the best horror movies, and this movie

did not let me down. You can hardly tell that they had a low budget, and they do a fantastic job of releasing the tension through humor. There isn’t too much gore, but the script does a great job of explaining what you do not see. As it is a period piece, in a sense, it is also an interesting introspection into how things were done way back in the day.

The movie only shows who the murderer is once, and even then they don’t come out and say that he is the guy, so it leaves a bit of mystery that is nearly

unheard of in modern horror films.

They succeed in keeping him hidden through a mask, and by only showing his pant legs. The murders are not gruesome but unique, including one murder done with a trombone.

Documentary movies nowadays are typically produced on the found-footage fashion, such as “The Sacrament” or “The Blair Witch Project.” This movie, however, was more theatrical. Due to the low budget, the movie uses many locals as actors.

While this movie is shown every year in Texarkana, it is not very well known in the rest of the country, but that is starting to change because Ryan Murphy is producing a remake to come out in the next couple of weeks.

The remake would also appear to be more of a sequel than a remake since it is about the killer returning. As to whether or not it will be made in the same documentary style is as of yet unknown, but I for one will be disappointed if it is not.

Environmental Club represents ISU in Climate March Kristen Kilker ISU Communications and Marketing “To change everything, we need everyone.”

That was the rallying cry as “climate marches” took place worldwide in the name of climate change, preceding a meeting of more than 100 world leaders to discuss the issue.

A trio of Indiana State University students took part in the Sept. 21 march in New York City to show fellow students that they are serious about climate change, and that joining the club can allow environmentally conscious students to make an impact.

“It’s everybody’s issue, and it’s going to increasingly become everybody’s issue as time goes on,” said Zach Nickerson, president of the Sycamore Environmental Action Club and a senior from Columbus majoring in chemistry and biology.

Visiting New York City was “quite an experience” for Nickerson, as it was for Jordanna Bilyeu, a junior elementary education major from Crawfordsville and head of the club’s education outreach committee.

Bilyeu noted that, living in small-town Indiana, “you don’t see many people actively fighting for climate change or the environment.”

The most interesting part of participating in the march, the students said, was seeing more than 400,000 people — old and young, of different national, racial and economic backgrounds — in a single place, in a single day, in a single city, marching for the same reason: to bring awareness to climate change and convince others that it is a cause worth fighting for.

Nickerson and Bilyeu said the experience further fueled their drive and it personally inspired Nickerson to increase outreach education and arrange more opportunities for participation in events such as the People’s Climate March, which is something that Nickerson would, he said, definitely do again if it became an annual event.

The club’s tenacity proved another message from the club to fellow Sycamores.

“Don’t be afraid to do something—be active in things you’re passionate about, and don’t just make yourself solitary on this campus. You’re an adult and you should just go out there and do things,” Bilyeu said.

Information on the Sycamore Environmental Action Club is available by contacting Nickerson at znickerson@sycamores.indstate.edu.

NFL week 6 promises explosive matchups Zach Rainey Reporter In week five we saw the last of the undefeated teams fall. Don Shula and the undefeated 1972 Dolphins team can take a sigh of relief early this year, but that does not take away from the fact that there are still some dynamite teams in the NFL. Here’s who to watch in week six.

Bears at Falcons This is the offensive game of the week. The Falcons have struggled the past two games against the Vikings and the Giants, but the Bears have been giving up a lot of points lately and their secondary is hurting. The Falcons have some of the best receivers in the NFL with Julio Jones and Roddy White. They added speedster Devin Hester who they could have run down the field every time and lob it to him and get a decent amount of yards per game. Steven Jackson had one of his best games in a while last week against the Giants.

The Bears had Matt Forte show his first signs of life the past two weeks. While he still isn’t really getting it done on the ground — because the Bears don’t disguise their looks at all — Forte is getting it done by catching passes and turning them into huge gains. Brandon Marshall has been hurt the past few games since the 49ers game, so he hasn’t played as well as the Bears need to be successful.

Alshon Jeffery hasn’t picked up the slack as much as the Bears were hoping, but he has been dealing with his own injury issues. Falcons win 35-28.

Cowboys at Seahawks Remember in the preseason when all of the “experts” were saying how bad the Cowboys would be and how their defense would be the worst in the NFL? When they dropped their opening game to the 49ers it seemed like they would all be proven right. Since that game, the Cowboys have won four games in a row, being led by DeMarco Murray. Murray is currently on pace to have a 2,000 rushing yard season and is further along than Adrian Peterson was the year he was pursuing the singleseason rushing record. I’m not saying the Cowboys are going to win the Super Bowl or even win this game, but they shouldn’t be taken lightly, and with how open the NFC East is, I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Cowboys sneak their way into the playoffs, considering they were a win away from making the playoffs last year.

The Seattle Seahawks are coming off of a Monday night win against the Washington Redskins. I know some people are probably panicking about the Seahawks not blowing out the Redskins like everybody thought.

To put it in perspective, the Seahawks had three touchdowns called back due to silly penalties. That is something that is fixable and is not something to panic over. Despite giving up a good chunk of yards to Desean Jackson, the Seahawks defense looked like the Seahawks defense. With how well Dallas has been playing, I think this will be a great game, and definitely the game of the week to watch. Seahawks win 28-17

Giants at Eagles After week two, the Giants looked dead in the water.

They had no one who could catch the ball, their running game was struggling, the offensive line was letting up pressure on Eli Manning and the defense just looked depressing. Since then, the Giants have found themselves.

Manning has his new favorite target in tight end Larry Donnell and the defense has come to form. Although running back Rashad Jennings is out until around week eight or nine, Andre Williams will fill the role just fine.

As a senior last year at Boston College, Williams had 2,177 yards and 18 rushing touchdowns. This will be a great NFC East matchup and the Giants could earn a tie for second place with a win this weekend.

The Eagles offense hasn’t been everything we had hoped for. We thought they were a team that would put up about 35 points per week while giving up around 28 points and that LeSean McCoy would pick up where he left off from last year when he led the league in rushing. This hasn’t been the case. They have been getting their points on the defensive end. The Eagles have five defensive touchdowns in the last two weeks.

Between interceptions, fumble recoveries and even blocked punts, the Eagles are proving their defense is not to be overlooked. I think LeSean McCoy is too good to continue struggling like this, but if it keeps up and the defense starts not being as sharp, the Eagles could take a dip. I like the Eagles in this game. Eagles win 28-24.

College football heats up as teams battle for championship spots Jeremy Beaver Reporter Notice an unprecedented shift has taken place this week in the world of college football as some of the nation’s top-ranked programs went down in a blaze last week in a series of shockers.

With teams continuing to fight for a spot in the four-team national championship playoff, expect some of this year’s most enthusiastic battles this week.

No. 2 Auburn at No. 3 Mississippi State Mississippi State might be prepared for their toughest challenge yet when they go toe-to-toe this Saturday against their SEC rival Auburn. Bouncing back from a losing season in 2013, the Mississippi State Bulldogs have shocked a lot of

people with the position in which they are currently standing. This is the highest Mississippi State has ever been ranked and they are prepared to defend it after coming off two big SEC West wins against LSU and No.14 Texas A&M. With ESPN’s College Gameday and Mississippi State’s quarterback Heisman hype surrounding campus, the Bulldogs have a lot riding on this game. But this game will not be an easy ride for the Tigers, either. Last year, the Bulldogs fell short to the Tigers by only four points. Auburn can expect an even harder challenge from their conference rival, especially since it is on the Bulldog’s turf.

No. 9 TCU at No. 5 Baylor TCU travels to Waco, Texas, to take on their Big 12 conference rival Baylor. TCU

looks to upset Baylor after coming off of an impressive defeat of No. 11 Oklahoma, a university known for its football program. If TCU loses, they could suffer and potentially fall back down inside the Top 25 rankings.

No. 4 Ole Miss at No. 14 Texas A&M Aggies With Texas A&M coming off of a rough upset to Mississippi State last week, the Aggies are going to have to work hard to prove their contention in the Top 25.

Although they will be in the Lonestar State, it is not going to be a cakewalk. The Aggies had an impressive game against Mississippi State but got outplayed. Texas A&M quarterback Kenny Hill threw for 365 yards and four touchdowns, but on the other hand, threw three interceptions.

If Texas A&M wants to beat the Rebels and move up in the rankings, they have to avoid the turnovers because Ole Miss will be sure to capitalize. Last week against No. 7 Alabama, Ole Miss quarterback Bo Wallace threw for 251 yards and three touchdowns. The team had no turnovers and upset the Crimson Tide.

No. 12 Oregon at No. 18 UCLA Oregon comes off of a loss to conference rival Arizona last week and hopes to return to their winning ways against a stout UCLA squad. The Ducks look to redeem themselves and keep their spot in the Top 25 as they prepare themselves for one of their biggest matchups yet.

The Ducks collected their first loss last week when Oregon’s quarterback Football Continued on PAGE 9

www.indianastatesman.com

Football Continued from PAGE 8

Marcus Mariota threw for 276 yards and two touchdowns. The Ducks would be outplayed by Arizona’s running back Nick Wilson who had 13 carries for 92 yards and two touchdowns. The Bruins also look to keep their stance and win streak going in the Pac-12 this week.

No. 13 Georgia at No. 23 Missouri As Missouri continues battling for the top slot in the SEC, beating their rival Bulldogs would not only help them in achieving that, but would also help them in moving up in the rankings. Missouri losing 13 starters has made their team a long shot in defending their division championship; however, they are making

Wednesday, October 9, 2014 • Page 9

a stance. Currently 4-1, Missouri has kept their heads high in hopes of once again taking the SEC title back home for the second straight year. Last week, Missouri struggled pulling out a win against the South Carolina Gamecocks, and many wonder if they will struggle against the Bulldogs this week. Tigers quarterback Dylan Thompson threw for only 139 yards and no touchdowns. Their scoring relied heavily on their run game when the Tigers running back Russell Hansbrough had ten carries for 43 yards and three touchdowns.

Looking at the glass half full, the Tigers gave the Gamecocks the worst game South Carolina has played statistically in the program’s history.
