Eighth Street closed this week Motorists who use Eighth Street on campus need to find an alternate route this week.

The portion of the street which runs through campus will close today for grinding and repaving work.

The street is scheduled to reopen Friday.

_______________ Correction

A sub-headline for Wednesday’s story about campus preparations for emerald ash borer misstated the insect’s presence at ISU. The emerald ash borer has yet to be detected on campus or in Vigo County.

The men, Jason Custer, 22, of 1430 N. 12th, Michael S. Denbo, 52, of 40 S. 18th St., Billy Salyer, 56, of 1332 Liberty Ave. and Billy Jay Salyer Jr., 27, of 1613 Liberty Ave. were arrested on charges of criminal trespassing, burglary, theft and theft of valuable materials.

The arrests came after ISU police officers spent several months working surveillance on the building also known as the ICON Warehouse located at 1 Sycamore Street near the Wabash River, Assistant Police Chief Joe Newport said. Newport said police began keeping an eye on the building that is owned by ISU after officers noticed repeated break-ins.

On Aug. 30, four ISU police officers were dispatched to the ICON Warehouse to investigate allegations of stolen copper pipe, copper wiring and machinery thefts.

According to an ISU police report, Sgt. Ian Loomis cleared the entrance of the building and heard a shuffling noise inside. Loomis said he spotted Billy Salyer Sr., ordered him face down and took him into custody.

When questioned, Salyer informed Loomis of two other suspects who were still present in the building on the second floor.

Three additional officers arrived to

assist Loomis and officers searched the rest of the building. Police found the two additional suspects hiding on the roof of the warehouse, and they were immediately taken into custody.

According to the report, officers observed many areas where copper pipe had been cut down from the ceiling and walls, and the insulation had been removed and left on the ground.

Upon searching the third floor, officers observed a ladder and two saws that were being used to remove the copper.

After arresting Salyers, Salyers Jr. and Custer at the scene, police learned about the involvement of Denbo. He was arrested Sept. 1.

Newport said the stolen copper can net the thieves a significant amount of money.

“Tens of thousands of dollars worth of copper have been stolen,” he said, adding that copper is commonly being sold for nearly 20 cents a pound and is skyrocketing in sales.

All of the men later appeared in Vigo County Circuit Court to answer to the charges.

The Statesman attempted to reach all of the men for comment, but the phone numbers they provided to police had been disconnected.

Book discussion slated Students, faculty and staff can discuss this year’s Fall Read selection Tuesday at Cunningham Memorial Library.

“The Freedom Writer’s Diary,” written by Erin Gruwell, is a collection of journals written by Gruwell’s California high school English students, documenting

their life struggles.

Hilary Swank starred in a 2007 movie based on the book.

The discussion is scheduled from 6 to 7:15 p.m. in the Events Area.

Gruwell will be on campus Nov. 30 as part of the University Speakers Series.

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.

Chances uncertain for permanent Communication Department chair NICK HEDRICK News editor

The search for a permanent Department of Communication chairperson, which has been off and on for about a year, is about to resume.

It is “unlikely, but not impossible” someone will be hired by Jan. 1, Darlene Hantzis, the department’s acting chair, said.

A search committee is preparing to advertise the position and gather a pool of candidates from across the nation, said Hantzis, who is also a professor of communication. The same process began last year, but it was too late to attract a large enough applicant pool, she said.

“We are hoping to be successful this time,” Hantzis said.

A permanent chair has not led the department since Fall 2010, when then-Chair David Worley went on leave and announced he and his wife Debra, a professor of communication, would both retire at the end of the semester.

John Murray, dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, convened a faculty meeting to discuss the situation. Hantzis stepped up to serve as acting chair at that time until David Worley returned in mid-October to finish the semester.

The Worley’s departure followed the Spring 2010 retirement of Communication professor Mike Buchholz as well as another assistant professor.

“At that point, we were left with only four faculty with tenure,” Hantzis said.

Only tenure and tenure-track faculty have voting rights within the department to recommend an acting chair, which is then appointed by the provost. To achieve tenure—typically a six-year process—a professor must publish four substantial articles in peer-reviewed academic journals, demonstrate excellent teaching performance and become involved in some kind of community or university service, all while being reviewed each year.

Hantzis was appointed acting chair for Spring 2011 as the search for a permanent chair commenced. Even after that search failed and someone was needed for the summer, Hantzis said there was still hope the position

would be filled by the fall.

She was appointed acting chair again in June and August, at which point the department requested approval from the university to suspend, but not terminate, the search. Suspending the search gives the department permission to begin the search process once more.

University policy mandates that the process to fill a department chair vacancy begins with a nominating committee of between five and seven full-time regular faculty members who conduct the search. Six faculty members are on the Department of Communication’s committee, chaired by Jay Clarkson, an assistant professor of communication. Mike Chambers, chair of the Department of Political Science, was also appointed to help advise the new communication chair.

Clarkson said candidates would likely be screened beginning Nov. 1, with applicants narrowed down throughout the year. The new chair could start as early as Jan. 1, but as late as Aug. 1.

The nominating committee has the authority to determine its own rules of procedure, but must notify Murray when the assigned task has been accomplished.

The nominating commitee will give Murray a list of of candidates who, if not already employed by the university, should be invited for an interview. Murray must approve or disapprove any campus visit.

If the committee recommends one or more of the candidates interviewed, those names would be submitted to Murray and C. Jack Maynard, ISU provost and vice president for Academic Affairs.

Candidates are to be ranked in order of preference in the case more than one is recommended.

Murray and Maynard must agree on a candidate to be hired and recommend that candidate to the ISU Board of Trustees.

Murray said it would not matter to him whether the new chair would start in January or August.

If the current search is not successful, Hantzis indicated she would express interest in remaining acting chair.

“It’s a job I would be willing to do if I would be a service [to the department]” she said.

Internet reveals intruiging history I was recently looking up fascinating facts about food on the Internet, and ,oddly enough, I learned a lot. As a matter of fact, do you know why a baker’s dozen is 13 instead of 12?

An article on todayifoundout.com stated that in Ancient Egypt, if a baker was found to cheat customers on their food, he would get his ear nailed to the bakery door. Also, in Babylon, if a baker was found to sell a “light loaf,” he would get his hand cut off.

By the 13th century, it became common practice that if anyone asked for a dozen of something, or 12 inches, that the baker would give the customer 13 for the price of 12, just so they made sure that they didn’t cheat anyone out of their food and break the law.

These extreme measures should never have been used just because a baker might cheat a customer out of the exact amount of food on accident. Bakers are only human; they make mistakes just like the rest of us. But apparently, in the past, there was no time for

Angelina Ritter Meals on Heels

errors.

Another interesting fact I learned was that the twist ties that are always a pain to get off the loaf of bread actually mean something.

Depending on the color twist tie, it tells you how old the bread is. This helps the person who is stocking the shelves to determine what bread is old and needs to be taken off the shelf.

I personally never knew there was a reason for the various colors of twist ties. The only thing I knew was that they were a pain in the rear when I would go to open the loaf of bread.

It’s funny sometimes how you learn things in your everyday life. It may not always be the most “useful” information that I learn, but it most definitely is entertaining. Now that you’re reading this, you’re probably thinking to yourself, “Yeah, I always wondered that.” The Internet is such a great source to discover fun facts.

Sometimes, stumbling onto completely random facts and taking a break from your actual school work for a minute are good things. So I encourage each and every one of you to find at least one random fact that you did not know about food because you just might learn a little bit.

Where’s the appeal of reality television?

It’s no secret that reality television is taking over. For every brilliant drama or hilarious comedy there are 10 shows about “classy” housewives.

I am a huge fan of reality competition shows, I religiously watch “Big Brother,” and when “Survivor” first started, I was glued to the screen every Thursday at 7 p.m.

When I was 11, I didn’t go trick-orJoe treating because Halloween fell on a Wagner Thursday. I also find “Project Runway,” Tuning in “So You Think You Can Dance?” and “Top Shot” addicting, as well.

I understand those reality shows because there is a point. A certain number of people are competing for a substantial amount of money.

It’s pretty basic.

What baffles me is the appeal to shows such as “Jersey Shore,” “Keeping Up With The Kardashians” and “The Real Housewives” series.

I’m not trying to say that if you watch those shows you are less of a person, but I don’t understand why watching other people live their “lives” in front of a camera for no reason is so appealing.

And the crazy thing is all these shows are popular. There are so many of these shows because enough people watch them.

Some people I talk to say it’s their guilty pleasure, which I understand.

I would imagine watching these human beings live their sad little lives would make you feel better about yourself.

In fact, I am ashamed to say that I would watch “The Biggest Loser” because it made me feel skinnier, but once they lost all the weight, saved their lives and became better

“I am so happy that the eight kids from ‘Jon and Kate Plus 8’ have the decontruction of their parents’ marriage on DVD so they can watch it whenever they want.”

human beings, I lost interest.

“Teen Mom” is a very popular show on MTV, which followed the lives of four teenage moms as they faced the challenges of their first year of motherhood.

I know of many people who love this show, and they do so because they like to watch these girls struggle with motherhood.

And I am so happy that the eight kids from “Jon and Kate Plus 8” have the deconstruction of their parents’ marriage on DVD so they can watch it whenever they want.

But never fear because there is an antidote. There are shows that exist that combine the appeal of people living their lives, and they are actually good people doing worthwhile things with their lives.

“Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List,” “Intervention” and “The Deadliest Catch” are all reality shows that have more meat on their bones.

In the end, it’s up to you. If watching “The Jersey Shore” is what makes you happy, then by all means keep doing what you’re doing. But try a different show and see how it compares.

Vinyl out-rocks the competition Molly Sefton Sounding Off

Every morning, I wake up, start my coffee, put my Pop-Tart in the toaster and turn on the best invention to ever be conceived. That’s right, ladies and gents, a record player.

You know how your parents listened to records and actually had to get up in the middle of an album to flip it over?

Well, those ancient machines called turntables are what I consider to be the best way to listen to music.

I have mentioned before that my parents raised me listening to the oldies, and I am still stuck on those bands today.

What they also gave me was an ear that was extremely sensitive to the presentation of music.

When I was a kid, I could tell from the other side of the house whether my dad was listening to a CD or vinyl just by the slight differences that were in the sound—a perk of growing up as a musician and as the daughter of someone who works in high-end electronics.

My favorite things about a record player are the sounds it produces and the character it adds to the music (as it probably should be since the quality of the listening experience is kind of the point). Sometimes it has a bit of pop and crackle that can add a certain ambience to a band or singer.

There is nothing like listening to an old Ella Fitzgerald or Ray Charles album on vinyl because those blemishes in the grooves of the vinyl just make it sound that much more authentic, as though you are sitting in a lounge twenty feet from them.

What about modern bands?

How does the vinyl add to that listening

experience?

“My favorite things about a record player are the sounds it produces and the character it adds to the music.”

The recording process has changed, and there is a large amount of technology used on music even before it gets released. So it is hard to say that there is a legitimate difference in the quality in that regard.

It pains me to admit it, but I must.

We have gotten so good at fixing all of the details on a recording that there isn’t really a difference in that respect, and a lot of the differences that do exist reside in the quality of the pressing of the vinyl and the equipment you are playing it on.

The techies of the music world seem to still be split on the advantages of vinyl as opposed to an MP3 or CD. And the old argument will probably never be put to rest because there are so many things that go into the production of CD digital files and vinyl that they will both always have good and bad attributes.

Even so, I will still remain faithful to my record player regardless of its lack of portability.

If you have never had an encounter with an old school turntable, you are missing out.

ISU Panhellenic Field Day brings sororities together Jessica Neff Reporter

Members from ISU sororities worked together and played games at the first Panhellenic Field Day. The event consisted of a multitude of games including ping-pong ball relay, potato sack race, leap frog and balloon relay race with free food provided by Jimmy Johns.

Upon entering Wolf Field, the sorority members were asked to sign in and were given

a yellow shirt with a listing of all nine sororities on it surrounding the Panhellenic Crest.

“We have had a great turnout, but with girls having intermural football games, people are coming and going,” said Naia Elmore, a member of Alpha Omicron Pi. There was a mix of multiple sororities on campus being represented at the field day.

The girls were also given a number on their hand and divided into eight teams of approximately five members.

“We were divided into one person from

most every chapter, and teams seven and eight won every event,” said Melody Stevens of Gamma Phi Beta.

The event was supposed to last until 4 p.m. but was rained out at 2 p.m. However, the rain did not completely ruin the event.

“We finished most of what we wanted to accomplish before the rain. Our objective was to get members of all chapters talking and getting to know one another,” said Tracy Machtan, assistant director of Student Activities and Organizations.

Upcoming Events: • Performing Arts Series: Letters Home Wednesday 7:30 p.m.

Excise Police to increase presence in college towns ALEXA LARKIN Features editor

Indiana State Excise Police are increasing its presence in college towns, and Terre Haute is no exception.

The agency has increased the number of excise officers working throughout the state in order to prevent underage possession and consumption of alcohol.

According to a press release from the Indiana State Excise Police, officers issued 252 tickets, 125 of which were for illegal possession or consumption of alcohol at The Scheid Diesel Extravaganza 2011 in Terre Haute, Ind., during the weekend of Aug. 26. Officers also filed 15 charges of inducing minor to possess alcohol or furnishing alcohol to a minor.

During the same weekend, Excise Police officers also patrolled

the ISU campus and surrounding areas, according to the press release. Police gave attention to the campus area because students were returning for the new school year.

During a separate incident in late August, Indiana Excise and ISU Police officers cited 35 minors for illegal consumption.

“The Indiana State Excise Police is committed to keeping Indiana communities safe by aggressively enforcing the underage drinking laws, especially in communities with college and university campuses,” Indiana State Excise Police Superintendent Matt Strittmatter said in the press release announcing this incident.

“Our agency will continue to work aggressively to do its part to reduce the underage drinking rate in Indiana by working with campus and local law enforcement agencies.”

Excise police have also been

very active in Bloomington, Ind., especially at events related to Indiana University.

During the past two weekends, almost 100 people have been cited for illegal possession or consumption of alcohol in tailgating areas at Indiana University football games.

Excise Police officers will continue monitoring alcohol consumption on university campuses across Indiana and safely enforce the statutes that prohibit underage individuals from consuming alcohol, Strittmatter said.

Kilroy’s Sports Bar in Bloomington was also cited for allowing a minor to loiter and furnishing alcoholic beverages to a minor, according to a State Excise press release. These charges were issued in relation to missing IU student Lauren Spierer.

Number of charges issued at Scheid Diesel Fest: Illegal possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages: 125 Public indecency: 3 Public intoxication: 3 Possession of false ID: 3 Inducing minor to possess alcohol or furnishing alcohol to a minor: 15

Cody Adams Reporter

As both teams took the field for the start of the game, fireworks exploded, upsetting one little girl and causing her to cry, a feeling Western Kentucky fans would share by the end of the night.

Sophomore running back Shakir Bell had a career day, running the ball 28 times for 221 yards and 2 touchdowns. Bell’s 221 yards marks the fifth best rushing total in Sycamore history.

The Sycamore defense caused four fumbles and recovered three of them, with one leading to a scoring drive in the third quarter.

Senior quarterback Ronnie Fouch finished the day with 227 yards completing 14 of 24 passes attempted, three touchdowns and one interception.

Senior Lucas Hileman, who plays centerfield for the Sycamores baseball team, joined the football team this past week as a punter. He proved to be a difference maker as he punted two times in the first quarter and each time changing the field position, helping the defense tremendously. Hileman punted five times for a total of 197 yards and a 39.6-yard average throughout the game. His longest was a 50yard punt, and he put one punt inside the 20-yard line.

On opening kick off, Sycamore sophomore

running back and return man George Cheeseborough was struck following a 23-yard return and laid motionless on the field after the pile cleared. The crowd was silenced as the ambulance came on to the field and took Cheeseborough off on a stretcher to a Kentucky hospital. Assistant athletic director John Sherman said Cheeseborough was moving all extremities but did have some tingling in his shoulders. Cheeseborough stayed the night in a Kentucky hospital and returned home Sunday afternoon.

Play resumed with the Sycamores scoring in their opening possession. On a third down with seven yards to go, Fouch found senior wide receiver Justin Hilton, on a 70yard pass that put the Sycamores in scoring position on the 14 yard line. On the next play, Fouch threw a pass to Hilton again in the corner of the end zone, giving the Sycamores the lead at 7-0. The rest of the first quarter was a defensive battle.

The Hilltoppers were threatening to score in the second quarter, however, the Sycamores defense kept the Hilltoppers out of the end zone, forcing a field goal.

On the ensuing offensive possession for the Sycamores, sophomore running back Shakir Bell hit a massive hole created by the offensive line, and from there it was only open field in front of Bell as he scampered for a 46-yard touchdown with 5:46 to go in the second quarter.

With just 20 seconds to go before the half, the Sycamores senior cornerback Larry Carter intercepted a pass setting the Sycamores up on another scoring drive that culminated with a 43-yard field goal attempt with two seconds left, placing the Sycamores on top, 17 to 3.

In the third quarter, with 9:47 remaining, the Sycamores scored on a 27-yard touchdown pass from Fouch to Hilton

once more, extending the lead to 24-3.

The Sycamores continued to get on the scoreboard with sophomore kicker Cory Little making a 42-yard field goal and Fouch throwing a touchdown pass to senior tight end Alex Jones following a recovered fumble.

The Hilltoppers would get on the scoreboard a couple more times in the second half, but the Sycamores would close the game out with Shakir Bell on a 14-yard touchdown run with 7:58 remaining for a final score of 44-16.

The Sycamores move to 2 and 1 on the year, as they get ready to host the conference opener at Memorial Stadium this weekend as Youngstown State visits the Sycamores Satuday. Kick off for that game is 2:05 p.m.

The Indiana State men’s cross country team finished third while the women finished fourth at the 2011 Indiana Intercollegiate meet at Indiana University (IU) on Friday.

The top four runners for the men returned to competition strong at IU’s challenging course, after resting at the Mid-America Opener, taking the top four finishes for the Sycamores.

“IU is normally a tough course, but because of the dry weather, the ground was hard which made it a little faster,” senior runner Jeremiah Vaughan said.

Vaughan led the Sycamore men through the 8K course with a fourth place finish in a time of 25:00. Junior Dustin Betz was close behind, finishing with a collegiate personal best of 25:12 and placing 10th.

The other Sycamore top finishes

included senior runner Craig Padgett in 13th place with a time of 25:17, junior runner Albaro Escalera in 14th with a time of 25:21, and senior runner Tyler Kent in 18th with a time of 25:37.

The men placed third with 59 points behind their strongest competition in Indiana, Purdue (35 points) and Indiana (40 points).

“We struggled working as a team this year,” Vaughan said. “Purdue did not, which is why they ended up beating us.

This gives our team something to work on together throughout the season.”

For the women, six of the lady Sycamores finished the 5K race with a collegiate personal record, a high feat for such a difficult course. Senio runner Kacie Klem again led the women to the finish line with a personal best of 18:01, placing fifth. Her finish placed her 16th on ISU’s all-time best list and marked the second best finish for the Sycamores at the

Following Zangmeister were three Sycamores who set collegiate bests: junior runner Andrea Prusz finished 24th in 18:33, sophomore runner Valerie Burns 25th in 18:54, and freshman runner Nicole Lucas 26th in 18:56.

The ladies finished fourth with 90 points. Outrunning the Sycamores was Indiana (19 points), Butler (53 points), and Purdue (78 points), three highly Jeremiah Vaughn, senior runner competitive schools in Indiana.
