COLLEGE AND POLITICS Election year sparks interest across campus and the nation about student involvement in our electoral process ALICE BRUMFIELD Reporter As the presidential election heats up with the conclusion of both party conventions, the university is abuzz with conversations about politics. Last Thursday, Indiana State University took its first step towards the discussion by hosting the first of a series of events on campus by the American Democracy Project, a program sponsored by the American Association of State College and Universities. According to the their website, the American Democracy Project, is “a multi-campus initiative focused on higher education’s role in preparing the next generation of informed, engaged citizens for our democracy”. The first of the events was an opportunity for students to volunteer for different local and state wide campaigns. The goal is to try and get students more involved in politics. “Getting involved is important because when kids our age aren’t involved, they can’t help make the decisions that are going to affect them the most… if we don’t do something to get what we want, then we can’t sit back and complain,” ISU student Michelle Guest said.

Continued From Page 1 Jay Clarkson, a communication professor at ISU, has a very similar opinion to Guest’s on the importance for students to be involved in politics. “[When students get involved] they don’t have other people making decisions for them,” Clarkson said. “Politics is about civic responsibility and being a citizen, and if students don’t get involved then they won’t be represented.” Politicians often pass legislations that affect college students, but since many students don’t keep up with politics, they won’t know how it would affect them until later. “As far as presidencies and the government, they make a big change in our lives, so it’s up to them as far as how we live,” Tiffany Ingram a freshman said. Politicians have been courting the college voter throughout this political season with both the Republican and Democratic Party speaking emphatically on issues they feel are of concern to college students. Cindy LaMar, a veteran campaigner for Richard Murdock, who is currently running for the United States Senate, said topics of concern for this election period include the $16 trillion national debt. “This is on every one of your backs,” Mar said. “Every one of you will have to help pay that off. Every man,
woman and child will have to pay $50,000 just to pay off that debt.” Another issue being highlighted is the mounting student debt in the country. The issue was addressed by both President Barack Obama and Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. “A family should not have to set aside a college acceptance letter because they don’t have the money,” Obama said in his speech at the Democratic National Convention held in Charlotte, N.C. “A government has a role in this. But teachers must inspire; principals must lead; parents must instill a thirst for learning, and students, you’ve gotta do the work.” In response to a question from a college student in the crowds during a campaign stop in Massachusetts, Romney had a different outlook on the debt situation. “I’m not going to promise all sorts of free stuff that I know you’re going to end up paying for,” Romney said. “What I want to do is give you a great job so you’ll be able to pay it back yourself. And I want to get the government off your back, so you can keep more of what you earned.” This is why many professors will stress the importance of voting to their students. “There are so many issues that affect students such as
student loans, the jobs, the economy. All of these things affect students so that unless you vote, they will have no voice or representation in government,” Carly Schmitt, a political science professor said.
“[The National debt] is on every one of your backs. Every one of you will have to help pay that off. Every man, woman, and child will have to pay $50,000 just to pay off that debt.” Cindy LaMar, campaigner for Richard Murdock

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.

Library Extravaganza returns to ISU on Wednesday Hannah Michaels Reporter
The 10th annual Library Extravaganza takes place Wednesday at the Library Events area to promote the usage of the library’s resources and services. The event will begin at 10 a.m. and last until 3 p.m. Students will be provided with free pizza and soda, and each student will have the opportunity to win prizes varying in sizes. “We want to promote the services and resources so students will know what kind of help they can get,” said Dean of Library Services Alberta Davis Comer. “We also want to help new students who come to ISU feel more comfortable to come back to the library.” Various organizations and departments on campus, such as the office of information and technology and the recycling center, will set up tables during the extravaganza for students to learn about. “We will have entities from across campus come and tell us what they do,” said Comer. “Students go to ten tables and hear a short talk about that resource.” A card will be provided at the welcome table for students to write their contact information on. Students can go around to tables to learn about each organization and will then have their card stamped. A card with ten stamps can be given to the prize table to enter into a drawing. “Smaller prizes will be given every half hour throughout the event,” said events coordinator Dara Middleton. “The grand prize will be drawn last.” A small prize will be given when entering the event, and two flat screen televisions will be rewarded as the grand prizes. “I went to the extravaganza my freshman year,” said junior English major Allison Crawford. “There was a bunch of activities, and it was helpful to know where everything was. I use the library once or twice a week to check

At the extravaganza, I learned there are some good areas to study.” Cunningham Memorial Library is also celebrating the recent change in hours. The library is now open 24 hours Sunday Thursday, on Sundays opening at noon and closing at 7 p.m. on Friday. Saturday it opens at noon and closes at 5 p.m. An expressed interest by the SGA and other groups helped
promote the extended hours. The library may also attract more students to use its services and resources. New furniture was purchased to allow more comfortable studying and addtional electrical outlets. Library services is now partnering with OIT to create a setting that is more accessible to students’ electronics, especially laptops. Comer said the Extravaganza is estimated to host around 5,000 students, but the event
hopes to see a larger number come and learn about the library. “I think once people come to their first extravaganza, they’ll want to come back to the next one,” said Comer. “It’s a lot of fun.”

Indiana State ranked number three in service learning
Students traveled to Henryville, Indiana to assist with relief efforts after a tornado hit in March (Indiana Statesman file photo).
Dave Taylor ISU Communications and Marketing Indiana State University not only remains among the top universities in the nation when it comes to community engagement, it’s continues to climb higher in the rankings. This year’s Washington Monthly College Guide ranks Indiana State third among 281 national universities when it comes to community service participation by students and the level of university support for service learning. The ranking is an improvement from last year, when Indiana State ranked fourth in university support for service learning and 32nd in community service by students. Indiana State is in the top 20 percent nationally in the overall rankings by the U.S. politics and government bi-monthly nonprofit magazine, which also takes into account research and social mobility - recruiting and graduating low income students. Washington Monthly offers “a different kind of college ranking,” its editors wrote in the publication’s September/ October issue. “This one asks not what colleges can do for you, but what colleges are doing for the country. Are they educating low-income students, or just catering to the affluent?
Are they improving the quality of their teaching, or ducking accountability for it?” The 2012 Washington Monthly College Guide confirms Indiana State is achieving one of the main goals in its strategic plan: to increase its already strong commitment to community engagement, said university President Daniel J. Bradley. “These rankings clearly reflect the commitment our university has made to providing access to quality education that includes doctoral-level programs and research and an emphasis on community service,” Bradley said. In 2011, students, faculty and staff at Indiana State provided an estimated 1 million hours of community service, with a total value of $8 million, according to an analysis released last week of the university’s economic and cultural impact. This past year, Indiana State students have been involved in such service learning projects as: • Three trips to the Henryville area of southern Indiana to assist in clean-up and rebuilding following a devastating tornado • A university-wide effort with faculty and staff to paint and
clean-up Garfield Park in Indianapolis • Alternative Spring Break trips to help individuals ranging from the homeless and poor to nursing home residents, immigrant children, veterans and native Americans in various locations throughout the southeastern U.S.

Last month, on the day before the start of classes for the fall semester, more than 1,200 students served community
agencies throughout Terre Haute on Donaghy Day, a day devoted to community engagement and campus and civic improvement.” Indiana State’s community service ranking is the highest among six Indiana universities on the Washington Monthly list and its overall ranking of 54th, up from 78th in 2011, is the highest among public universities in the state. Only Notre Dame ranks higher overall, at 16th. Indiana State was among the first universities in the nation to be recognized by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching in a special category of colleges and universities that are committed to both an academic approach to community collaboration and extensive outreach and partnerships. ISU has also made the President’s Higher Education Community Service Honor Roll every year since it was launched in 2006.

Statesman editorial
ISU: Daycare from day one Indiana State University wants you to succeed. In fact, we want you to succeed so badly that we’ll hold your hand from the minute, nay, three weeks before you start classes up until the moment we hand you your diploma. How do we do this? The Academic Opportunity Program, The Learn, Engage, Achieve, Persist program [LEAP], Project Success and ISUcceed are all programs harbored at ISU to aid in student persistence. Here is a quick description and analysis of each: AOP is the largest of these programs and is designed specifically to help individual students who are conditionally admitted [students with below a high school GPA of 2.5] via academic advisement, mentoring and tutoring. While many successful students have come out of this program, the program as a whole leaves much room for improvement. In a story in the Nov. 11, 2011 edition of the Indiana Statesman, director of the Student Academic Services Center David Wright said, “Probably 50 percent of the [AOP] students make it.” The story states, “According to ISU’s Office of Institutional Research, first-year retention rates for conditional admits are nearly 20 percent below the retention rates for unconditional admits.” Academic Opportunity Program Coordinator Cynthia Evans recognizes this problem, as well as a potential solution to the problem, “Yes, it is true that retention of Academic Opportunity Program students is not great. If actual consequences were imposed on students who do not comply with the rigors of participating in the program, more students would most likely be retained.” If only 50 percent of conditionally admitted students persist onto graduation, then the AOP drags our retention percentages down every year that our average percentage is above 50 percent. Associate Vice President for Student Success Joshua Powers says that we have set a 2017 goal for a 70 percent retention rate of first year students. This will be a difficult goal to achieve if we continue to admit these high-risk students. LEAP is a by invitation only program for
entering freshmen. The program provides “In high school, they don’t have to know instruction in the basic skills needed how to study; we still give them everything to succeed in college over the course of they need; we still baby them too much.” three weeks.

As iron sharpens iron: Inspiring the world to greatness
Humanity today is driven by impulse. “Buy this, sell this, eat this and use this” are cultural ways that are being produced by media and society. We let others determine the course of our lives. If our actions are only reactions based off of information we have been given, something is wrong. Why should humanity only react to influence? Why not create it? Indiana State University is creating influence by professionalizing the student work force, preparing them for real-world jobs. Professors are training students in the art of education–not a mere Jon “I teach you this and you can only have learned when you repeat Stephens it back word for word.” Influence is creating influence. “As iron sharpens iron…” as the saying tell us. They are creating a world Think where their teaching is having students About comprehend and apply the lesson. The professors are influencing to greatness. It Why not then, in your own life, seek to influence others? Apprentice, disciple or whatever you wish to call it, be it. Be influential to those around you. Live a life that is marked to the full. Take chances and stand up for something or take a chance and give up something because in all reality it is not a worth it. College is not completely about learning so that one day you can make money. It is not simply about being a good citizen and learning as much as you possibly can so that you can one day give back to community. Those are grand ideals, which you can achieve but even more so college is about experiencing a journey. The way people walk throughout their lives is determined by the ferocity in which they wish to be great. Humanity has the ability to be so fantastically brilliant that most people sell themselves short and never live up to their full potential. There is so much more to life than just the small glint we see from the day we are born until the day we
die. Lives should be lived in order to be great. We should seek to inspire in order to achieve goals that will benefit the future. If you’re a Christian, great. However, Gandhi said, “I like your Christ but I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike like your Christ.” Christians, live lives that are testimonies to Christ and what you believe. If you are an Atheist, great. Live your life according to moral standards that uphold truth and justice and the good of those around you. If you are Muslim, Hindi, Buddhist or whatever you call yourself, work together for good. Inspire one another to a new humanity in which we all work together to achieve a common goal. Enough of the petty arguments and bigotries for which we splice ourselves from our true community and more of unity and peace. ISU is acknowledging diversity and has programs in which students can participate to become more involved in the campus community. Look at the diversity around you. Respect and create a new place in your life for the new community. Be involved in the LEAF meetings in your halls. Be involved in the walks and marches and speakers that are come to campus to tell you that you don’t have to live according to a standard that has been placed on you by another person. Be an influence and create something great just like campus is creating for you. We are known as the most tolerant generation. We are tolerant of new culture and new ideas. As for tolerance on stupidity we seem to fall short (e.g. “YOLO”), but the lesson is the same. Inspire and influence to greatness and stop living in the box. Stop living in the shadows of the cave where you hide from the light, and step out in the light to a world in which you have a say and where things can be great. But only if you try. And you must try to begin the adventure which is known as a purpose-driven life.
“Look at the diversity around you. Respect and create a new place in your life for the new community.”
Common courtesy: As valuable as common sense and almost as scarce
In the Lenox Gift-Giving and Etiquette Survey, one third of U.S. respondents rated American’s manners as poor, yet eighty percent of the same rated their own manners as excellent. Since September is the month of common courtesy, according to the “Calendar of Minor Holidays,” let’s explore ways to practice good manners. Common courtesy and good manners are essential for making good first impressions and lasting reputations and they don’t require a lot of effort on your part. The following tips will give you food for thought and some basic Cathy courtesies to practice. When you meet or greet someone: Trout • When you meet someone, smile warmly, make eye contact, Dear and greet them enthusiastically. We all like to feel that others are glad to see us. Cathy • If you are going to shake hands with somebody, make a good impression by doing it correctly. Firmly (no limp fishes, please) grasp their right hand with your right hand and pump two or three times and then let go. A sorry handshake has ruined many a prospect. • Greet them appropriately and give them the respect that is due them according to their station in life or their place in yours. Call people in authority and people who are much older than you by their last name, preceeded by Dr. /Mr. /Mrs. /or Ms. as in Dr. Smith or Ms. Jones. In conversation: • Please and Thank You go a long way. Use these phrases always. Try “You’re Welcome,” “Excuse Me,” and “Bless You.” • Don’t interrupt. Wait your turn, everybody has something to say. While waiting your turn, actively listen to what the other person is saying. When walking or driving: • Be five or ten minutes early. At least be on time. The other person’s time is as
valuable to them as yours is to you. Being chronically late is irresponsible and shows a lack of respect for the other individual. If you must be late or reschedule, call the other person as soon as you know, so that they can adjust their schedule as well. • Hold the door open for those people behind you. Ladies, I am speaking to you as well as to the men. • Offer to help a stranger if there is no danger involved. When dealing with strangers, even as a good samaritan, choose your opportunities to help carefully. Do not compromise your own safety for any reason. • Stay on the right side, on sidewalks, in hallways, in stairwells and on the road, unless you are passing. • Let others go first when you can. If someone else lets you in front of them, acknowledge their generosity with a sincere “Thank You” or if driving, “the wave.” The ability to put people at ease is an invaluable talent that comes with the practice of common courtesy. Your reputation is irretrievably linked to what others think of you, which is often based on your common courtesy skills. The Golden Rule of “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you” is a good guideline to follow when you are unsure of how to proceed in a tricky circumstance. Another strategy when you are unsure of what to do in any given etiquette situation, is to watch the others around you. If everyone at the table is doing the same thing, you may want to join in also. Most of the basics you already know, you just need to put them into practice every day. Eventually, being courteous will just come automatically and you will not even have to think about it. Being courteous will open up opportunities you are not even seeking. Studies have shown that it is even effective at decreasing bullying. I have several times in my life been offered job opportunities when I was not even looking because a business owner overheard me being courteous to another. It will make you a better person, make others like you better and improve your life immeasurably.

New sorority members race to their new sisterhoods. (Photo courtesy of Fraternity and Sorority Life at ISU).
Jessica Neff Reporter The finale of the fall recruitment season was this past Sunday in which the newest members of the sororities, current sorority members, Panhellenic Association executive board members, alumni members, chapter advisors, members of the student activities and organizations department and other bystanders watched as the new girls ran home to their sisterhoods. Tracy Machtan, student activities assistant director, acted as emcee and announced the sororities’ names, counting down as the new girls ran into the arms of their sisters. “Our sororities as a whole had a very successful recruitment,” she said. Members of the Panhellenic Association executive board agreed. “Recruitment went really well. We had a large number of girls get the opportunity to find a Greek home,” Sarah Riley, senior elementary and special education major and president of the Panhellenic Association said. A difficulty that new and current members of the sororities had was the rain last Friday night. “The process went very smooth until we got caught in the rain Friday night. After taking a two hour rain break, we were ready to go again,” Riley said. “Nothing could get in the way of the girls going through recruitment. They wanted to keep going to rounds just as much as the active members wanted to keep going on with the night.” Katie Fiwek, junior elementary and special education major, acted as the Panhellenic vice president of recruitment and found herself with a large problem when the rain came. “We had to put all rounds on pause and split all sorority women and potential new members into different rooms to make sure every sorority would get the same amount of time to talk with the women,” Fiwek said. “We were delayed over two hours by the time we were allowed to start up again.” Fiwek said that despite the rain, all of the sorority chapters did an awesome job making sure everything remained on track.
“For my first time going through recruitment on the disaffiliated side, it was very neat and a learning experience,” Riley said. “I saw the recruitment process through a different set of eyes. Of course, it was a very busy week. But a very successful one as I also got to run home to my Alpha Sigma Alpha sisters.” Recruitment is different on the Panhellenic perspective because we see a different side of each potential new member going through recruitment, Fiwek said. “We see the emotion that each woman shows for the chapter as well as the heartbreak when they have to narrow down sororities for the next day of rounds,” she said. Fiwek also said that Rho Gamma’s and Panhellenic Executive Board members are here to be mentors to the Potential New members throughout the recruitment process. “We are also here to be unbiased and this is why we have been disaffiliated from our chapters since the beginning of school. We make sure we do not sway any potential new member to go a specific sorority because of the affiliation we are.” Fraternity men were bystanders and watched the pandemonium that took place as girls were united with their sisters. Jay Reeves, a junior communication major and a Pi Kappa Alpha member, was one of the onlookers. “I’m one of Alpha Phi’s sweethearts so of course I wanted to go see the new girls,” Reeves said. “I am also friends with many sorority girls, though, so I like seeing all of the girls come together and get so excited for recruitment and then to see the new girls go to their ‘new home.’” Reeves also said that the recruitment event brought a smile to his face. “When I saw the girls run to their ‘new home’ I felt happy for them, unless they got trampled by their new chapter and fell to the ground like some did. Then I felt sorry for them.”

Differences and similarities between ISU generations
(Photo courtesy of ISU Communications and Marketing).
Richelle Kimble Features Editor While every university across the United States sets a sense of individual definition upon establishment, each incoming freshman class embodies a differing constituent of identity. This identity stems from a generation’s facets including social life, popular culture, campus structure, and technology; each rich, prominent aspect of an incoming college class is part of a dynamic process that warps every generation’s college experience. The national issues, worldly events and local structure all play an important role in how each generation experiences college. For example, while at first the thought of attending ISU 50 years ago doesn’t seem to institutionally differ, the college experience was shaped by the Vietnam War and counterculture era; imagine attending ISU and attending a local sit-in in support of civil rights, a women’s suffrage march or hearing about Ken Kesey’s acid tests in California. It is clear that this particular college experience is significantly different than today’s. Not to mention the technological developments, the heightened student enrollment, more educated professors and changing expectations of students that have affected ISU’s college life over the years. Angie Martin, a 2002 ISU graduate, gives the perspective of a college experience a decade ago. One of the main national events during this time include 9/11, which according to Martin, stirred campus
attitudes and made college students more aware of national security and government international affairs. Specifically, she recalls running in a cross country meet later that week and hasn’t forgot the emotion the National Anthem triggered for everyone. “Honoring our flag and having a moment of scilence before the meet was very emotional for everyone there,” she said. Technologically, the launching of Wikipedia and the Apple iPod were major catalysts to the change in college lifestyles during 2001. These advancements also aided the boom of broadband Internet, which began a major usage expansion in 2000. These developments were released at the end of Martin’s college career. “I really didn’t know much about the internet when I first came to ISU,” Martin said. “[Now], the Internet age has progressed us so fast and it’s scary to see where it is going to take us next.” Martin spoke of her backpack containing nothing more than a notebook and pencil compare to now where she sees students carrying a laptop or iPad. She also said that headphones were uncommon now with the spike of portable music players, this is hardly uncommon. Martin said that instead of students taking notes on computers, they would take paper notes or tape record their professors. She also said that she would run with a portable cd player instead of a mp3 player.
Additionally, Martin said that she didn’t aquire a PC until her fifth year of school. “There was one computer at the front desk of Mills that we would take turns checking e-mail on,” Martin said. “But really, [the computers] were primarily used for typing papers.” Within the last five years, ISU has seen more technology work its way into classrooms and lecture halls such as the tablet computer and social media. The iPad is slowly replacing the now ‘bulky’ but once highly portable PC’s. Some classes are beginning to require social media accounts, such as twitter, as a way to communicate about homework, events, and deadlines. The recent ISU mobile app now allows students to access their courses, email, campus events, directory and other endless campus related information. Even from Martin’s generation, this is a major advancement that has aggressively changed the way students interact with both the university and each other. Kelby Scrougham, a senior communication major, said that the technology is woven into her everyday routine with teachers, courses, and peer communication. She recognized how everything now a days is aiming to be accessible through Smartphones. “One of my professors has Skype and Twitter in order to reach out to his students and notify us of class assignments,” said Scrougham. “And technology has connected everything to our phones, making it incredibly easy to communicate.” Further, each decade brings new style influenced by popular culture to the campus scene. While things such as dress, nightlife, and personal identity vary from student to student regardless of the national trends, the prominence of style on campus today has increased from when Martin attended school. “My freshman year I would throw on my running clothes because I was a student athlete, but jeans and a t-shirt was the norm back then,” she said “Now, it seems like students get more dressed up for a day in class.” In regards to specific changes at ISU, the alteration of the campus structure naturally effects students’ college experience. With renovations occurring so frequently, even the small decade gap from Martin’s generation to Scrougham’s has experienced major structural differences. Among them is the relocation of major resource centers such as the Admissions center, the addition of buildings such as Federal Hall, University Hall, the Technology Building, and the arrival and depletion of
computer labs. Martin also spoke of “the wall” in front of Mills Hall where student would go hangout between and after classes. She said it was more prominent in her college years for students to loiter socially in front of their dorms and greet people. This wall was torn down in 2010, thus removing social traditions that Martin experienced from today’s generation experience. Despite all of these changes, there are certain traditions that ISU has not removed from their agenda; the tradition established at ISU ensures a communal identity and implants a common ground for all ISU alumni to stand on. Some of these traditions include the March On! fight song, which has been the university’s anthem since 1939 and the yale blue and white colors that symbolize ISU, which made their appearance in 1899. Other traditions that engage the ISU community include Donaghy Day, which has been a longstanding tradition since 1976, Homecoming, which made it’s first appearance in 1919 originally known as Blue and White Day, and the Book and Torch ceremony which was established as a graduating tradition in 1865. “I feel connected to past generations even though I don’t know them,” said Scrougham. “It’s neat thinking that my parent’s friends were once sitting in the classrooms that I am now.” Regardless of the generation, the elements of ISU adhere to one another and establish the complexity of a community. It is clear that students graduating decades apart at ISU will have experienced different college lives; however, each student has a common trait after receiving their diploma, thus forever linking ISU’s generations: the pride of being a Sycamore.

Anne Foster gives glimpse into a professors’ duties
Joseph Paul Reporter The first few weeks of class after a long summer break can be hectic for students, but people often overlook the demanding responsibilities of their professors. Those who have class with Indiana State history professor Anne Foster may not realize that her job extends much further than the classroom. “The classroom time is not really the main part of our job,” she said. “Actually, it’s all the parts that come together to prepare to be in the classroom.” Foster said most professors teach three to four classes a semester, most of which require them to adapt their lectures, conduct research and familiarize themselves with new texts in order to keep classes relevant. This semester, Foster is teaching two sections of the history department’s undergraduate level methodology class as well as an upper level class. Since one course has adopted a new text, she has been reading through it in order to prepare for the classroom. Another methodology course uses a case study that Foster is not familiar with, requiring her to conduct some background reading into various articles and books that relate to the study. “I have to read them just as much as the students have to read them,” she said. Along with class preparations, ISU professors are required to do a service of some kind at the department, college and university level. These services include serving on department committees or as a student advisor. Faculty is then evaluated by their effort and work within those specific areas of service. Also taken into consideration during evaluation is a professor’s service outside of the university in local communities.
Within the history department, Foster is a student advisor and serves on the budget, curriculum and grievance committees. She is an advisor for the interdisciplinary program in the College of Arts and Sciences and also serves on the Institutional Review Board, which reviews research for the university. Research is the third area in which ISU faculty is evaluated. Foster said most of her research constitutes reading articles and journals that have been published in her area of study, as well as archival documents. Foster organizes this research into articles, which are presented at various conferences or published in journals. One of Foster’s recently notable works was her book, titled “Projections of Power,” published in 2010. In her book, she describes the United State’s relationship with colonial Southeast Asia in the early 20th century. “[It is] specifically about what happens during that time period, which is when nationalism is starting in that area and the United States is growing in power in the same area at the same time,” she said. While so much research may seem tedious, Foster said it’s what made her fall in love with her profession. Originally from Ohio, she attended American University in Washington, D.C. for her undergraduate degrees in history and international studies. There she had the opportunity to use materials from the national archives and the Library of Congress for her research papers. “To get to hold papers that Franklin Roosevelt signed, it just was so exciting,” she said. “I think that was a great experience just to be in this place where so much

history was made and to really get a chance to study it from the beginning.” From Washington, D.C., Foster moved to Ithaca, New York and received a master’s and doctorate degree from Cornell University in American and Southeast Asian history. Foster was teaching at a small Catholic college in New Hampshire before she decided to return to the midwest and join the ISU faculty. She now lives in Bloomington, Indiana and commutes to work, another factor that adds to her busy schedule. “Some students have this image that I only work when they see me here,” she said. “They don’t know that if I’m in my office with my door closed, or if I’m in the library or if I’m at home working with materials; they don’t see me working so they don’t think about me working.” While professors like Foster take care of their responsibilities in and out of their classroom, it’s up to students to hold up their end of the deal in order for the Anne Foster, ISU associate professor learning process to occur effectively. Foster (Photo courtesy of Indiana State said that while some students may not University magazine). exactly want to be in class, she encourages them to keep an open mind and learn as understand that that’s not completely much as possible. “It would be lovely if everybody brought realistic,” she said. “But if you bring that a high level of enthusiasm and desire to open mind, maybe you’ll learn something.” learn the subject to every class, but we all

ISU’s volleyball team prepares for a set (Photo by Mae Robyn Rhymes).
Thomas Beeler Sports Editor ISU vs. Miami (Ohio) Last Friday the Indiana State volleyball team traveled to Oxford, Ohio to compete in the Miami Tournament at Miami University. The Sycamores gained two winning sets then eventually fell to the Red Hawks in the opening match of the tournament 3-2. The Sycamores lost the first set, but battled back, gaining a 6-2 advantage due to five errors by the Red Hawks. Points during the first set were going back and forth until the Red Hawks took the lead 19-12. ISU couldn’t break the Red Hawks lead and lost the first set 25-19. The Red Hawks took the second set with a score of 25-22. The Sycamores gained an early lead 6-3 and eventually took over and won the third set 2522. They nearly held the entire lead throughout the fourth set 22-18 over the Red Hawks. Miami then began to close the gap 23-22; however, they suffered a service error and attack errors; giving the Sycamores the push they needed to win set four 2523. Similar to many games this season, the
Sycamores forced a fifth. The Sycamores fell behind early 5-2. The Red Hawks took the victory from the Sycamores winning the match 15-8 . ISU vs. Temple University Early in the contest against the Temple University Owls, the Sycamores fell in the first set (25-21). They then came back in the second set and tied the match. With the help of an ace service by freshman Ashlen Buck and a block by senior Shea Doran, the Sycamores went up 24-20. Freshman Cassandra Willis gave ISU the second set (25-20) with her extra point. The Owls wouldn’t take this lying down and made a comeback in sets three and four to win the match 3-1. Through completion Doran had 14 kills, and Buck had14 digs. Freshmen Erika Nord put up 28 assists. ISU vs. Chicago State Later that day, ISU did battled Chicago State where they increased the is season record to 2-8 by taking the victory. The match began with a kill from
junior Molly Murphy, then the Sycamores took the lead 10-8 in the first set with Doran’s three kills. A kill from freshman Victoria Swigart widened the lead to 14-8. Eventually the Sycamores took the first set 25-16. In the second set, ISU tied the score 7-7 with Chicago State. ISU then broke the tie with a score of 17-11. An error from the Cougars and kills from Doran and Murphy helped give the Sycamores the second set 25-17 leading the match 2-0. With the aid of Doran’s 16 kills, Buck’s 11 digs and Nord’s 37 assists, the Sycamore took the final set and match winning 3-0. Doran was named AllTournament for her efforts during the three-match tournament. Southern Illinois and Evansville are the Sycamore’s next competition as they begin their Missouri Valley Conference play on Friday in Carbondale, Ill.

Hard work and long hours for ISU marching band Thomas Beeler Sports Editor When weather is in their favor, the marching band can be seen and heard practicing at Kennedy Field. Many students on campus witnesses the halftime performance by the Indiana State Athletic Marching Band and Color Guard during ISU’s football games. “Camp is rough,” junior Sloan Jones, one of two color guard captians, said. “It’s the hardest time of band.” The marching band holds an annual camp for all potential band members and color guard members. The camp is held on campus in the Center of Performing and Fine Arts and the color guard group tries to find space to where they can do spins. Camp is held for an entire week before classes resume for the fall semester, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. The camp’s purpose allows the band to learn the songs they will be performing throughout the football season and for the color guard to learn the different routines, motions and maneuvers they do with their flags and rifles. Sections of the marching band are broken up into to three major portions: the winds, color guard and percussions. Band Director John Williams gives an inside view into the preparation and execution that goes into every performance. This is his first year as a professor/director of the athletic marching band after completing his master’s program here at ISU from 2007-2009. Williams said that a practice on a non-game week usually runs about six hours a week, two hours a day on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Practice begins 3:10 p.m. with 20-30 minutes of warming up. The instrumental portion does some non-traditional stretches to warm-up. For example, they would play some longer notes and some easier songs with their instruments to get the facial muscles working, also getting their hands and fingers moving. Jones said the color guard focuses on more of a traditional physical warm-up with a lap around the field, stretching and a flag warm-up that takes about ten minutes. They review some routines and the entire band comes together for rehearsal, much like a football or track and field team comes together during a game or a meet. On weeks they have a game day, where they perform on Saturday, they’ll rehearse from six to eight hours a week. They also run through routines an hour to two hours on Saturday morning before the game. “The reason why color guard was put into marching band was to give a visual aspect to the show,” Jones said. “We’re supposed to represent what the music is and what’s going on.” Williams said on game days the band will show up to Memorial Stadium at 10 a.m. They move into the stadium at 10:15 -10:30 as the football team
finishes their morning run through. They have the field to walk through routines and review songs for an hour. “Practicing at the stadium gives me a chance to have a higher perspective and view of what’s going,” Williams said. “We’ll run through no more than a shorten practice. So we’re condemning a practice to an hour instead of two hours.” After a lunch break, the band then forms into a parade line marching around the tailgating area on the outside of the stadium visiting various tents and dignitaries that are there while playing peep tones to liven the mood. “The marching band’s purpose is to provide entertainment and to make Memorial Stadium a college football The marching band puts on a performance during halftime at Saturday’s football atmosphere,” Williams said. game (Photo by Hilary Zeigler). The band performs a halftime show and a concert after the football game concludes for their families and friends who came to watch their loved ones preform. The band performs every home game and will travel if location and funding allows it. Many game days for the band can be longer than expected as Williams explains. “The IU trip was a 12-hour day, actually a 13 and a half hour day,” Williams said, “We got to campus at 2 p.m. and we arrived back to campus at about 3:15 a.m.” If students are interested in joining the marching band the only step is to sign-up for the course when students would normally sign-up for classes and pay a course fee. Any student at ISU can join the marching band and walk on with no experience required. For instrumental music education majors two semesters of marching band is required for graduation. The color guard works differently by holding try outs after the Winter Guard International world finals. Tryouts are usually in April and are held for an entire day. The captians examines skills with the flag and rifle. They recommend any participants to have some high school experience before trying out. “We are one of the faces of ISU,“ Willaims saids. “When you think of Purdue or Indiana you think of the athletics first and somewhere in there is the marching band.”

ISU Golf finishes fourth in fall season opener Kevin Jenison ISU Athletic Media Relations The Indiana State women’s golf team finished fourth with senior Emily Dixon moving up to lead the Sycamore effort by tying for 11 th in the individual standings of the IU Fall Kickoff which concluded today on the Indiana University Golf Course in Bloomington, Ind. “We had five girls in the 70s today,” Greg Towne, Indiana State women’s golf coach, said. “The girls are buying into the approach that in order to be great they have to own their swings and not settle for short term fixes.” Dixon shot a two-over par 74 in today’s second round to finish with a 152 total and tied for 11th. Sophomore Amanda Smith shot a 79 to finish with a 155 total and in a tie for 14th with senior Christina Beyerl shooting a 78 Sunday to finish with a 158 total and in 16th. Junior McCall Christopher posted a 79 in the second found to tie for 18th with
a 160 total. Sophomore Erinn Sutton was the fifth member of the Sycamores to shoot in the 70s as she carded a 79 in the second round, a vast improvement over the 89 she posted in the opening round as she finished at 158 and tied for 36th. Sophomore Gina Della Camera posted an 81 Sunday to finish at 161 and tied for 20th while sophomore Andrea Frankiewicz posted an 85 to finish at 167 and tied for 32nd. Maggie Harper had a 94 in the second round to finish at 187 and in 63rd place. “One of our players went with an entirely new grip today and Emily stuck with a swing change despite topping her first three shots,” Towne said. “She ended up with the low score of the day and a big break through.” The host Hoosiers took the top two spots as they split their team into two squads with the “A” team posting a
36-hole total of 590 and the “B” team coming in at 598. IUPUI finished third with a 617 total while Indiana State finished at 625, Southern Indiana “A” 642, DePauw 654, IPFW 667, Valparaiso 691, Franklin College 692, and Southern Indiana “B” 692. Indiana’s Elizabeth Tong was the meet medalist with a 36-hole total of 145. IU’s Pamela Burneski and Rosie Davies tied for second with 146 totals. “If we keep taking care of our individual skill issues then the team can break through that 300 mark and join a select few teams with the ability to shoot those scores,” Towne said. The Sycamores will have just about two weeks to work on the skill issues before returning to action on Sept 17 and 18 at the Chicago State Invitational which will be played at the Harborside International Golf Club.

ISU soccer battled in Las Vegas last weekend Victori Pachauer Sports Reporter ISU vs. Indiana University The lady Sycamores play at IU this Wednesday at 7:30 p.m. Erika True, head coach of the women’s soccer team, said that it will be a challenging, yet great,game. This is not theonly time the soccer team has faced a team in the Big Ten Conference. ISU has faced competition from Purdue, Nebraska, Ohio State and Illinois. The ISU women’s soccer team traveled to Las Vegas, Nev. this past weekend to compete in the Univeristy of Neveda, Las Vegas Nike Invitational. True said that the three-hour time difference along with such dry heat definitely affected their performance, but overall they enjoyed their time spent in Las Vegas. ISU vs. Montana
On Friday in Las Vegas, ISU played against Montana. ISU lost with the score being 1-0. ISU entered the game with 3-3-0 record as Montana has a winning record of 4-3-0. Freshman goalkeeper Erin Mitchell had a total of six saves during the game. Montana managed to have more total shots (10) than ISU (6). Montana also led the corner kick, six to ISU’s five. ISU vs. Sacramento State On Sunday, the Sycamores played against Sacramento tying with a score of 0-0 and changed their record 3-31. True said that regardless of the score, it was a game well played. The Sycamores took 26 shots during the final game. ISU came close to scoring off of
a free kick from sophomore Marisa Windisch. She also led the team with four shots. Freshman mid-fielder Sydney Lovelace took three shots as well. “Lovelace played very well this past weekend,” True said. “Junior Shelby Troyer played many minutes in many positions.” The defense of the women’s soccer team has been anchored by senior Kourtney Vassor, who is also captain of the team. The soccer team will play at IUPUI on Friday at 7 p.m. and have a home game on Sunday at 1 p.m. against Miami of Ohio University.
