The Indiana State University football team defeated Butler University 48-34 Saturday in their first home game for the season.

The Sycamores offense kept the ball on the ground for most of the game. The Sycamores rushed for five touchdowns. The Sycamores rushed for a total of 224 yards on 40 attempts. Rushing leaders for the Sycamores were senior full back Brock Lough and sophomore tailback Shakir Bell. Lough was 17-131 rushing, with a career high of three touchdowns. The longest rush of 45-yards came on a scoring drive with 12:17 remaining in the third quarter. Bell was 8 for 48.

“Our plan was to run the ball,” Trent Miles, head coach of ISU football, said. “We made no bones about it. We needed to establish the run.”

The event started with the Air Force ROTC presenting the American flags and the National Anthem was then played.

Three poems were read from one member of Order of Omega, Student Government Association, and the Student Union Board; who all sponsored the event.

Rev. Jason Harshbarger, a member of Chi Alpha, said a prayer for the victims of Sept.

ing Jones and Lot 11, people continued across Spruce Street.

After passing the Lincoln Quad, people passed the library and made their way past Root and Holmstedt Halls. Walking past the Science Building and back into the Dede Plaza concluded the walk and the participants discarded their candles into bins to prevent them from being thrown on the ground. The event lasted around half an hour.

“I am a lot more pleased with the overall respect of this year compared to last year,” Vasser said. There was some talking the last few years.”

The Indiana Statesman is published Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, except during exam periods and university breaks, and is published three times during the summer. The Indiana Statesman was founded May 16, 1929, the same year that Indiana State Normal School became Indiana State Teachers College. The newspaper began in December 1879 as the State Normal News. In November 1895, the paper was first issued as the Normal Advance.

Members of the ISU community are welcome to take a single copy of each issue of this newspaper. The unauthorized taking of multiple copies, however, may constitute theft, which is a crime, even with free publications. Thefts will be reported to campus police for possible prosecution and/or for other disciplinary actions.

The Indiana Statesman exists for four main reasons: to provide the ISU community with news and information, to serve the campus as a public forum for student and reader comments, to offer student staff members chances to apply their skills in different aspects of a news publication, and to give students leadership opportunities.

In poor job market, grad school applications increase ASHLEY DECKARD Reporter

The declining job market is one reason Samantha Lopez is considering graduate school.

But that is only part of the story.

“I am considering graduate school for both economic reasons to find a better job and for my own reasons,” said Lopez, a senior special education major.

Both full and part-time graduate student enrollment dipped slightly at ISU this fall, but more graduate students are attending full-time. The number of graduate studies applications at ISU has also increased in recent years as the nation continues to recover from the Great Recession, said Jay Gatrell, dean of the College

of Graduate and Professional Studies.

“We have seen an increase in overall applications over the past few years, with Fall 2010 being the largest increase,” Gatrell said. “Additionally, ISU has experienced increases in the total number of students seeking to enroll each spring semester.”

According to the Office of Institutional Research, 2,121 graduate students were enrolled at ISU in Fall 2010. In Fall 2006, that number was 2,031.

Seniors are entering the school year amid a difficult jobs environment for the U.S. No new jobs were created in August, according to the U.S. Department of Labor and the unemployment rate remained at 9.1 percent. In July, Indiana’s

unemployment rate was 8.6 percent, according to the latest figures from the Indiana Department of Workforce.

For senior recreation and sports management major Keenen Stevenson, that means further education may look more appealing for students on the job search.

“I believe that the number of students who will have to apply to graduate school in the next years will increase,” Stevenson said.

Gatrell agreed.

“With the expansion of graduate programs at ISU, I am confident that the total number of applications will remain strong and grow,” he said. “Indeed, we have a number of highly competitive and popular programs.”

Butler University’s football team encountered a major blackout Saturday evening when they played the Sycamores.

Students, alumni and fans from around the community surrounded the ISU memorial stadium and packed the stands, ready to cheer our team to victory.

Butler must have been afraid of the dark because they lost, 34-48.

We at the Indiana Statesman are proud that our students showed so much school spirit, and we commend the Student Government Association for organizing the Blackout.

Saturday’s game was extremely sucessful because of the team and because of the exciting and postive atmosphere.

The Sycamores put in a lot of time, dedication and effort to achieve a great game.

We, as students, owe them our encouragement and thanks, and we did a fine job of doing just that Saturday.

The Statesman hopes that the Blackout sparks a trend that continues throughout the season.

Don’t allow the momentum to die off. Win or lose, we should show up to every single game, prepared to root for the blue and white.

Good luck this year, Sycamores.

We’ll see you at the game.

No bite for ‘Dogs’

Unpopular music

This Friday, we will be treated to yet another remake of an American film.

Although, if I were the actors in this new version, i.e. James Marsden (X-Men, Hairspray) and Kate Bosworth, I’d Megan be a bit intimiStenftenagel dated, since the original starred What’s none other than playing the legendary Dustin Hoffman.

“Straw Dogs,” which first opened in 1971, tells the story of a mild mannered mathematician who… well I don’t honestly know. I’ve read the plot synopsis of the original, and I don’t really understand the point of the film at all.

I’m not against this film because it’s violent. I like a good horror film every once in a while. I just feel like this movie is trying to put together genres that shouldn’t be mixed.

The plot elements that the filmmakers are trying so vainly to mix are the everyday man and extreme violence. In some cases it works.

Take, for instance, “The Punisher.”

A man’s family is brutally murdered, and he exacts his revenge. Another great example is “A History of Vio-

lence,” where Viggo Mortensen defends his family while looking ruggedly handsome.

On second thought, let’s back this train up a bit. Frank Castle, the man with an attitude from “The Punisher,” was a force to be reckoned with who was trained in all the scary styles of fighting. Viggo Mortensen’s character was actually living a double life and was not just an innocent civilian.

Trying to pair the everyday man and extreme violence/revenge just doesn’t work.

When thrown into this situation, the everyday man ceases to be the everyday man, which in turn kind of defeats the whole purpose of what the film makers were trying to do in the first place.

You don’t just go from being a normal, mild-mannered person to someone who brutally slaughters people.

That usually means that there was something nasty buried there in the first place.

I would like to see this film, just to see what they try to do with the plotline. I think I would rather watch the original though.

Watching Dustin Hoffman kill people is a little more unsettling than watching Cyclops when he has a bad day.

I will give a warning, however: the original had a rape scene that rivaled some of the stuff in “A Clockwork Orange.” It’s a messed up movie, folks,

Molly Sefton Sounding off

Every time I turn on the radio there is a 50 percent chance of me saying, “Oh hey, I really dig this song,” and a 50 percent chance of me giving my radio a disgruntled look and just shutting it off.

I blame part of my distaste for what is hip and happening on being raised on phenomenal bands like Genesis, Fleetwood Mac and Dave Matthews.

Looking at those bands and some of the ones that are fresh on the scene, it makes me wonder how on earth we can have so many different kinds of popular music, yet the only ones really getting played are covers and music without much talent.

When I went looking for a Beatles song on the web, I saw more versions of the Glee cover than I did the actual song, and that is disheartening because there is so much new music out there and a lot of it is pretty good.

No, Bieber, I am not referring to you.

We don’t hear it much because different people doing pretty much the same things rule the charts. But, that does not mean that that is all there is to music today.

There is so much out there now we didn’t have before that it is harder to sift through it all and pick the good from the bad. And if we are all being honest with ourselves, we know there

is a lot of the bad.

The 90s had the Macarena, and we currently have girls telling us the days of the week and teaching us how to spell. It is just how it seems to go.

I know that most people don’t listen to just one type of music, but I also know that not everyone has listened to every kind of music, and that is a bit of a bummer.

For those of you that tell all of your friends that you like everything because it is “all good,” you are wrong on two counts. First, you probably haven’t listened to bagpipe dubstep or any bolly-wood. Although, if you have listened to anything similar to it I give you all the credit in the world and will, from now on, consider you cultured. Second, not everything that is popular is good.

Technology can do some pretty cool things. One of them is make someone who would otherwise sound like an orangutan trying to mate sound like she actually has vocal talent.

I admit I have three different versions of “I Wanna Hold Your Hand”

by The Beatles and I don’t have any real ska music.

I am not saying that every one should like every thing that has ever existed in the music world. I am saying that there is so much more to discover, and with all the ways to access music it’s a shame that what is popular doesn’t cover the full spectrum.

And the Emmy goes to...

On Sept. 18th at 8 p.m., FOX will broadcast the Emmys live. It’s the day we have all been waiting for. Well, okay maybe not all of us, but it is definitely the day I have been waiting for.

You see, the awards season is to me as the NFL season is to others. I don’t know what it is about award shows, but they are my drug. My favorite thing to do is try to predict the winners. For the Oscars, my family throws a party and everything.

However, for the Emmys I keep it more low-key, I usuJoe ally only enter an online pool or something. It differs year to year.

Wagner So who will win what this year? Well, I have done my Tuning in homework, and I think I have a pretty good idea of how things are going to go.

Let’s start with comedy. “Modern Family” is the favorite to win Best Comedy Series. This show won the award last year, and it doesn’t look like any other show is going to de-throne the champ this year. However, if any show would pull an upset it would be “Glee.”

As far as the acting races go, that’s where things get a little more interesting. For Best Actor it seems that Steve Carell will FINALLY win for his role as Michael Scott on “The Office.” He faces stiff competition from Jim Parsons from “The Big Bang Theory”, and Louis C.K. from “Louie.” But since this is Carell’s last season on “The Office,” and it is the academy’s last chance to award him for his work on the hilarious sitcom.

For Best Actress my official pick is Laura Linney for “The Big C.” The

argument being made is that this show isn’t exactly funny and that it is a “dramedy,” but last year Edie Falco won in this same category for the same type of show. A possible upset would be Amy Poehler for “Parks and Recreation”.

Next, we have Best Supporting Actor; “Modern Family” set a new record for having four actors from their show getting nominated in the same category. Of the four, I think Ty Burrell has the best chance of winning. Possible upsets are Burrell’s costar, Ed O’Neill, and Chris Colfer from “Glee.”

For Best Supporting Actress, the strongest contender would appear to be Jane Lynch from “Glee.” Lynch is also the host of the awards this year, which is a great boost for her, although it didn’t work for Neil Patrick Harris two years ago. Lynch’s biggest competition is from Betty White from “Hot In Cleveland.” I can’t go into much detail about the others because I am running out of room, so I will just give them to you quick and dirty: Best Drama Series: “Mad Men” Possible Upset: “Boardwalk Empire” Best Drama Actor: John Hamm “Mad Men” Possible Upset: Steve Buscemi “Boardwalk Empire” Best Drama Actress: Julianna Margulies “The Good Wife” Possible Upset: Elisabeth Moss “Mad Men” Best Supporting Actor: Josh Charles “The Good Wife” Possible Upset: John Slattery “Mad Men” Best Supporting Actress: Margo Martindale “Justified” Possible Upset: Christina Hendricks “Mad Men” Best Movie/Miniseries: “Mildred Pierce” Possible Upset: “Downton Abbey”

Quick food options for busy students If any of your class schedules are like mine, then you probably need something to eat that’s fast and filling.

Late morning classes make it a little hard to eat breakfast if you’re not a morning person who likes to get up extra early to go eat in the dining halls. If that doesn’t fit your description, maybe lunch is more your area. Maybe you have classes close together and don’t have time to run to one of the dining halls to eat.

If either of these pertain to you, and you’re tired of eating the same food every single day, then I have a world of for you. Here is a list of filling snacks that Angelina opportunities are quick and easy to make on the run in between classes.

Ritter Ramen noodles: They’re a staple in the college student’s Meals on diet and are easy to make. Just add water.

Hormel chili dip and chips: This may sound kind of heels gross, but if you love cream cheese and chili, this is the snack for you. All you need is a can of Hormel chili without beans and a block of cream cheese in a bowl. Put it in the microwave for a total of about two minutes.

Peanut butter and jelly: It’s the classic sandwich that is quick and easy. You just need bread and, of course, peanut butter and jelly.

Macaroni and Cheese/instant potatoes: You can buy the individual microwaveable cups of both at Wal-Mart, and it only takes a few minutes to make.

Pizza rolls: If you have a mini refrigerator with a freezer, you can buy a bag and heat up as many as you want whenever you want.

Pop tarts: These are always a good choice if you wake up late for class or if you miss out on breakfast in the dining hall because as you know breakfast is the most important meal of the day.

Cereal: This is more for the non-morning people who have just enough time before class to sit down for a few minutes and eat.

Warm Delights: If you are the kind of person who loves desserts, then this is for you. They come in a variety of flavors including hot fudge brownie, molten caramel cake and chocolate chip.

Parfaits: If you have a little extra time, but you’re not too hungry, you can get a little fancy and make your own parfait. Yogurt and your favorite fruits are all you need.

These are just a few different snacks that are quick and easy to make when you aren’t able to go the dining halls or maybe you’re not too hungry for a full meal. This gives you some different ideas to change up your normal routine with the same old boring food.

Spice up your week with a new variety of foods that are delicious, filling and easy to make.

Honors Program helps students explore campus, Terre Haute Tia Muhammad Reporter

On Saturday, the ISU Honors Program took their first Saturday Stroll of the year through campus and downtown Terre Haute.

Saturday Strolls has been an annual activity for honors students since the fall semester of 2007. Introduced by Marilyn Bisch, an honors and classical studies professor, the strolls are an attempt to familiarize freshmen with the city of Terre Haute and ISU campus.

Inspired by her own experiences as a Terre Haute native and ISU alumna, Bisch hopes to educate students about the history and culture of Terre Haute beyond the classroom and textbook.

“It not only gives students a better appreciation for Terre Haute, but it promotes exercise through walking,” Bisch said.

Bisch started the stroll on the path extending from the fountain. ISU was once filled with streets in the 60s with one main road in the area

that students walk through today–the fountain. The path from Fifth and Chestnut streets to Eighth and Chestnut streets was once a busy street filled with traffic.

Throughout the stroll, Bisch made it a point to stop and explain buildings and their origin to the students. She also told stories behind the unique artifacts that have been a mystery to students for years.

The stone artifact that sits just outside the Science Building is the mythical interpretation of Prometheus, who gave fire to mankind. The name Prometheus actually means “forethought” in which modern interpreters have related the meaning to the gift of arts and sciences.

Other stops along the stroll were ISU’s Art Gallery featuring a permanent collection of the WPA Art Collection, the Swope Art Museum, the Condit House, the Ohio Building, Fairbanks Hall, Deming Hotel and Tirey Hall, the original Student Union Building.

The original Student Union Building was above and below ground. Students often hear

about the underground tunnels on campus, but there are actually buildings underground too, Bisch said.

“There was a part of the Student Union underground that I believe had a Hardees,” stated Bisch as she pointed toward the grass top patio in front of Tirey Hall.

The Saturday Stroll concluded at the complementary Annual Altrusa Chili Cook-off that donates all proceeds to community-based education programs and organizations in Terre Haute. The students and staff enjoyed cups of chili and the local festivities as the stroll came to an end.

“I enjoyed myself; I wanted to find a sense of comfort from the town since I’m not from here and I did,” said Emily Barrett, a freshman athletic training major.

The next Saturday Strolls are scheduled for Oct. 22 and Nov. 12 at 11 a.m., beginning in front of Einstein Bros. Bagels in the Commons.

All Honors Program students, staff, faculty and friends are welcome, Bisch said.

Upcoming Events: • Student Volunteer Fair Wednesday 10 a.m. - 2 p.m.

Dede Plaza • Yellowman Play Wednesday and Thursday 7 p.m.

African American Culture Center • Every Third Thursday Thursday 7 p.m.

ISU renames Center for Performing and Fine arts, honors late President Dave Taylor

Communications and Marketing

Indiana State University has recognized one of its longest serving presidents by naming the Center for Performing and Fine Arts in honor of Richard Landini.

The ISU Board of Trustees approved the name change Tuesday. Landini, Indiana State's eighth president, served from 1975 to 1992 - the third longest tenure in the university's more than 140-year history.

Landini's legacy is still evident throughout the Indiana State campus, said current ISU President Daniel J. Bradley.

"During his tenure, the general education curriculum was enhanced, admissions standards were raised and redefined and several national honor societies were chartered. More than 20 new undergraduate and just as many graduate programs were created, including a master's in public administration, a master's in nursing and a doctorate in psychology," Bradley said. "A $55 million master plan was also developed, resulting in the construction of numerous campus facilities and the transformation of an urban campus into a beautifully-landscaped, pedestrian friend-

ly environment."

Landini also created Donaghy Day, a campus-wide clean-up and beautification day, and Sycamore athletic teams achieved significant success during his presidency, Bradley noted. The 1979 men's basketball team, led by Larry Bird, was runner-up in the NCAA Division I Basketball Tournament and the men's gymnastics team, led

by Kurt Thomas, won the NCAA National Championship.

"Dr. Landini retired as president in 1992 but continued teaching until his death in 2004," Bradley said. "It is fitting and proper that the university recognize him via the Richard G. Landini Center for Performing and Fine Arts, a landmark building that exists today because of the campus master plan he championed."

Mike Alley, board president stated, "Dr. Landini's impact on ISU has been dramatic, and his vision continues to be felt today.

It is appropriate to commemorate Dr. Landini's legacy in this fashion, as one of our longest serving presidents."

In other actions, after honoring the university's eighth president, trustees approved a new five-year contract with Bradley, Indiana State's 11th president.

Now known as the Richard G. Landini Center for Performing and Fine Arts, the building was remamed by the ISU Board of Trustees on Aug. 30. (Photo courtesy of ISU Communications and Marketing) The contract, which runs through June 30, 2016, replaces one that had been in place since Bradley became president in 2008.

"We have been pleased by the manner in which President Bradley has addressed the challenges of recent years. He has clearly moved this institution forward," Alley said.

The new contract does not provide an immediate increase in base pay. Instead, it calls for Bradley's base salary to be increased consistent with future general salary adjustments for all other university employees and encourages him to remain in his position for the five year term of this contract.

Trustees also authorized an agreement with Thompson-Thrift Development to provide pre-development and planning services for off-campus housing in downtown Terre Haute and to negotiate master

lease terms, subject to final approval by the board and state officials.

"The university's Strategic Plan calls for the development of student housing downtown to create a positive impact on the retail environment and offer more market friendly options to upper level students," Bradley said.

Any proposed project would include retail space on the first level to be managed by the developer or other third party with upper floors containing student housing to be operated and managed by the university.

Indiana State officials announced last spring a request for qualifications to identify developers with an interest in off-campus housing. University officials recommended Thompson-Thrift from among five firms that submitted qualifications.

School of Music holds tribute concert for Sept. 11 Joshua Julian Reporter

Every year the School of Music holds a tribute concert for Sept. 11, 2001 but now, after 10 years, the feeling of hope was more present than ever.

Hundreds of students, faculty members and people from the community came together Sunday evening at Tilson Auditorium to take part in the event.

The faculty and students of the School of Music put the concert together. Scott Buchanan, director of choral activities; William Davis, Symphony Orchestra director; and Roby George, director of bands, led their students through several pieces in the course of the evening.

The concert commenced with an ar-

rangement of the “Star-Spangled Banner” and ended with a performance of “America, The Beautiful.”

In between numbers, Nancy Cobb Lippens, director of the School of Music, addressed the audience with comments and recollections of her feelings about the event.

“Sometimes, when an event is so tragic, words fail us, and we turn to music,” Cobb Lippens said. This sentiment seemed to be shared by the entire audience.

Wide arrays of musical styles were performed during the concert. One of which came when the Symphony Orchestra performed “Symphony, no.3, opus 6,” by Henryk Gorecki, with the help of singer and School of Music professor Colleen Davis.

The running theme of the concert

su|do|ku

was hope. As stated in the program, “we have all managed to find deep within us a powerful hope and resolve to get better; to make things whole again. This message of hope is eternal.”

Some audience members were even moved to tears by the combination of Concert Choir’s performance of “Kyrie,” by Rene Clausen and the digital photos being projected on the walls of the auditorium. These photos were, at first, portraits of the aftermath of the crash and then segued into images of the rebuilding process.

The audience as a whole seemed to enjoy the performance. An audience member stated that it was a wonderful way to pay homage to the tragedy, not by wallowing in grief, but by looking forward to the future.

“History will be kind to me, for I intend to write it.”

- Sir Winston Churchill

Geometry

We have jokes...

On this morning a woman and her baby were taking a bus. As she entered the bus the driver says “Wow that is one ugly baby.” The woman deeply hurt just continued on the bus and found a seat next to an elderly man. The man asks “What’s wrong you look mad?” She replied “I am. That bus driver just insulted me.”

“You shouldn’t take that from him.” the man replied. “He’s a public worker and should give you respect. If I was you I would take down his badge number and report him. “You’re right sir I think I will report him.” The elderly man says, “You go on up there and get his badge number. I’ll hold your monkey for you.”

Indiana Intercollegiate Championships

(Photo by Tyler Smith) The passing game for the Sycamores was led by senior quarterback Ronnie Fouch, throwing 10 consecutive completions and falling one short of the school record of 11 set by Jeff Miller in 1985. Fouch closed out the day 15 of 18 for 232 yards with a 26-yard touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Donald Spencer in the third quarter.

The team’s offensive line played well giving up no sacks.

“I was very pleased with our O-Line today,” Fouch said. “The O-Line really wanted to put our offense on their backs today and prove that we can pound the ball and run our run game with the efficiency of picking up big yards on the first down.”

The Sycamores special teams also aided in the victory. Sophomore wide receiver Leonard Riston had a

92-yard kick-off return with 14:15 remaining in the second quarter regaining the lead for the Sycamores at 17-14. The Sycamore punt team never took the field.

The defense got off to a slow start as the quick passes by the Bulldog offense put Butler on the board in the first half. The shift came in the second half as the Sycamore defense forced four consecutive punts in the half. Following those punts, the Sycamores scored with each possession change.

“I thought our coaches did an excellent job at halftime coming in, making their adjustments on defense and getting with the players and getting them going, and I think you saw the type of defense we can be in the third quarter and half the fourth,” Miles said.

Leading the Sycamores on defense was linebacker Jacolby second half, and the Bulldogs were forced to punt for the first Washington and junior linebacker Aaron Archie with 13 tackles time. This began a series of four consecutive three and outs for each. Junior defensive end Ben Obaseki recorded the only the Bulldogs with each change of possession resulting in a scoring quarterback sack of the game for a loss of seven yards.

ISU received the ball on opening kick-off. On the team’s first possession of the game, the offense found the end zone after moving the ball 67-yards in 6 plays. Obaseki got the Sycamores on the board first with a 2-yard touchdown run.

The Bulldogs quickly responded on their first possession under the leadership of senior quarterback Andrew Huck. The Bulldogs evened the score in seven minutes, on eleven plays.

The Sycamores fumbled the ball twice on their next position.

The second fumble being recovered by the Bulldogs sent the defense back on the field. The subsequent drive by the Bulldogs would end with just 3 points as they were held to a 30-yard field goal.

Trailing for the first time of the game (10-7), Riston shifted momentum in favor of the Sycamores with a 92-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the second quarter.

The Bulldogs continued to move the ball well against the Sycamore defense, regaining the lead following the kick-off return in just 12 plays.

In response, the Sycamores ran the ball with Lough. Lough had 10 carries on the Sycamores’ drive, amassing a total of 65-yards and his first touchdown of the game with 1:26 left before the half.

The Bulldogs got on the board again with another field goal four seconds before the half making the score 21-20 ISU. Senior full back Brock Lough on a 45-yard touchdown A revived Sycamore defense took the field starting off the run. (Photo by Tyler Smith)

drive for the Sycamores.

The first scoring drive saw Lough find the end zone following a 45-yard run. Lough would score another touchdown with 12:47 remaining in the fourth quarter. Another scoring drive for the Sycamores took 36 seconds. In two plays, the offense covered 46-yards. Senior quarterback Ronnie Fouch threw a 26-yard touchdown pass to Donald Spencer. On the Sycamores’ next possession with 1:39 remaining in the third quarter, Obaseki ran a couple yards for the touchdown following an 11-play drive.

With this, Indiana State jumped to a comfortable 48-20 lead.

The Bulldogs scored a couple more touchdowns before the game ended with a Sycamore victory.

The Sycamores are on the road this weekend as they travel for their second road game of the season against Western Kentucky.

Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday at 7 p.m., and the game will be televised nationally on ESPN3.

“Our plan was to run the ball.

We made no bones about it. We needed to establish the run.”

Students ‘blackout’ Butler at the Memorial Stadium Ernest Rollins Sports Editor

The scene at the Memorial Stadium on Saturday resembled a mini-homecoming more than the first home game of the season.

Individuals camped outside the stadium, some from as early as 10 a.m. Students, alumni, faculty and Terre Haute community members tailgated before the scheduled kick-off at 2:05 p.m. Sycamore supporters grilled out, played corn hole, painted faces and participated in other activities. The Indiana State University Marching Band paraded around, performing an assortment of melodies to the gathered crowd.

Butler University’s marching band, mascot and cheer squad were also in attendance at the game. The Bulldogs are one of the few teams that travel to the Memorial Stadium with their cheer squad adding to the feeling of a homecoming game, rather than just a regular game.

In attendance at the game was ISU alumnus Brandon Hooks.

While at ISU, Hooks played for the football team and said that he cannot remember a turnout such as this for an opening game.

“Indiana State loves a turn out like this because the more people that come out for the Indiana State football game, the better they play, hands down,” Hooks said.

Students and local community members came out dressed in black as part as the promotion by the Student Government Association to ‘blackout’ Butler University.

President Nick Utterback said the association hoped to motivate students to want to come out and support the team when they proposed the ‘blackout’ theme for this game.

“We all knew it was a blackout, but just to see that support from our fans and students was great for us,” senior quarterback Ronnie Fouch said.

According to ISU Athletics Media Relations a total of 7,128

attended the football game. In that sea of fans were large student sections in black attire cheering on the Sycamores as they won their first game of the season. “[The crowd] really got us going offensively,” senior full back Brock Lough said. “The first thing we notice is the student section as players when we come out on the field.”

Statesman Q&A

The Statesman got together with junior thrower Felisha Johnson. Johnson won the women’s weight throw early spring when she travelled to College Station, Texas for the 2011 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships.

Her championship throw was 74’2. At the ISU vs Butler game on Saturday, the ISU athletic department honored Johnson by presenting her with a championship ring for her achievement.

You were honored Saturday for your achievement this past Spring when you won the women’s weight throw competition at the NCAA Division I Track and Field Championships. How does it feel to be recognized in front of your peers and members of the Terre Haute community?

It feels amazing. Just to see all the support for the community was great.

How have you been preparing yourself to achieve those goals?

How long have you been competing?

Six years.

Training over the summer and working hard in practice.

At any point prior to spring this year, did you ever think you were going to be a national champion?

What has your training been like?

No, not until after nationals. I still could not believe it, only after I was up at the award stand.

Just working hard and dedication.

Since our coach left, we have been just working hard as a team and encouraging each other, especially the freshmen. Just keeping a positive attitude.

What are your goals for the future?

What motivated you to begin throwing?

Winning conference. I think that we have the right team to do that this year.

I needed some thing to do after basketball season ended.

What do you believe it takes to be a champion?

Who are people you look up to?

Friends, family and teammates.
