Open education learning at Indiana State Randy Ricci Reporter Indiana State University is offering instructors a one-time stipend to change their classes to only open-source learning materials instead of textbooks to help students save money. Many teachers on campus have already made the change in an attempt to help students by saving money. This open-source learning project is a part of ISU’s strategic plan — goal five initiative three. The goal of the project is to get teachers to switch their course to free open-source learning with items found online instead of traditional textbooks by offering the professors a one-time stipend of $3,000. This would and already has saved students thousands of dollars in textbook costs. According to a study done by Heather
Rayl, an emerging technology librarian and Jerre Cline, a research analyst for the Office of Institutional Research, the project has already saved 727 students a total of $89,654.93. That is an average of $123.31 per student. Alexandria Egyhazi, a freshman legal studies and criminology major, said she would love it if all her classes switched to open-source learning. “It would be nice to have saved the money I spent on books this semester,” Egyhazi said. “Not only that, my backpack wouldn’t weigh as much and I wouldn’t have to worry about forgetting any of my course material as it would all be on my computer.” This is only the second year and the 3rd semester of the project and only 13 Indiana State teachers have participated in the project. Jerre Cline, the research analyst, spoke about new teachers adopting the
programs. “Faculty members usually switch up the curriculum around every three years,” Cline said. “We hope more faculty members adopt this program instead of using textbooks again when they choose new options for their classes.” The students and professors both benefit with this program. The university takes the loss of paying the teachers $3,000 every time they switch a course over. The total stipend cost to the university has been $45,000 in total, but the program has already saved the students nearly double that. Part of the program includes two surveys during a class that use the open-source learning material. One is at the beginning and asks the students their familiarity with e-book and online learning, and the other is at the end of the course and asks how they liked the
open-source learning. Heather Rayl, an emerging technology librarian, talked about the student’s reception to the course. “Students and teachers tend to like the open-source items and it doesn’t negatively affect their grades,” Rayl said. “We asked the students how they think they did and actually look at their grades too.” The program has been very positive so far, grades have not dropped and Sycamore students save money on textbooks for that class. The teachers like the program but they have to find all new material that is still adequate to teach the required material but they receive a one-time $3,000 stipend. Overall the project has been a huge success for Indiana State University and they only hope to see it grow as more teachers make the switch.

Net neutrality supporters should avoid double standard
The Internet: the lifeblood of the modern world. It’s been the network that keeps us all tied together. It keeps evolving and keeps changing day in and day out. One of those changes is the legislation that may one day restrict what we do on the web. You may have noticed the “loading wheel of frustration” this week on several different websites. This is being done to demonstrate that the website want more net neutrality laws. Columnist owners If you have been stuck under a rock for the past decade or do not care about the Internet, I will explain. Net neutrality laws are laws that keep Internet providers from giving unfair advantages to the sites they own or have ownership in. The companies that it would affect are companies like Verizon and Netflix. Verizon offers fiber optic Internet access and a TV service with that as well. That means they could throttle Netflix and increase the speed of their own TV streaming service. This makes it vastly unfair for companies to offer a comparable product. Internet service providers believe they get the right to
decide which sites get increased speed. Internet activists think the Internet should be as fast as it could possibly be because it’s a tool for learning. It’s a vital tool that many schools, hospitals and municipalities need to have to get their jobs done. Net neutrality would allow companies to compete for the best product rather than worry about partnerships to get faster connection. First and foremost, I am all for neutrality on the Internet because these companies need to focus on the product they are producing and not how to get their speed up. I can understand where these companies are coming from when they want laws to protect them. Laws are meant to protect people and keep companies from making the market place unfair. These companies plea for lawmakers to protect them but they refuse to allow lawmakers to create laws to make the Internet more transparent. Laws like SOPA, or the Stop Online Piracy Act, and PIPA, the Senate counterpart to SOPA, make it harder for people to steal stuff over the Internet. Websites like The Pirate Bay, where you can download hours of illegally-obtained media, would be affected most of all. The website owners had a day of blackout, forcing
users to take a closer look into the laws and let their local lawmakers know they did not agree. These websites refused to have government oversight into what they do because it would affect their business. Yet, they want the government to protect them when it comes to the other companies imposing on their business. I feel for these net companies that have differentiated themselves from so many others to get noticed by the masses and make some money. However, I am not going to stand by and allow them to pick when they get government intervention. It is not right for them to yell, “leave me alone” then ask for their protection in a time of need. I understand that is how our legal system operates these days, but you should not get to choose when they can regulate your sector of the market. The legal system was devised to protect people and not the companies that are now deemed people as well. It’s a whole different story, and you do not want to get me started on that. I have faith that we will be able to get the laws we need to protect the people using the Internet for good and not evil. That includes corporations trying to throttle some services.
Indiana Governor Mike Pence has stirred quite a bit of 2016 presidential speculation. Though he’s a new governor, having been elected in 2012, Governor Pence slowly became more appealing as a possible candidate following his speech at the 2013 National Rifle Association convention. As he stood before members of the powerful American lobby and executed invigorating oratorical skills, it seemed rather intuitive that, of course, Mike Political Pence would partake in the 2016 Columnist election. Following the 2008 election, and once again after 2012, pundits across the media spoke of the Republican Party’s “soul-searching.” According to the Hill at the Republican National Committee’s Winter Meeting, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal delivered a “sharp critique” saying that Republicans “must stop being the stupid party.” And as several Republicans, such as Rick Perry and Chris Christie, have appeared as forerunners to guide the party, scandal has weakened the potency of their attempts, while Mike Pence has remained unscathed. However, it seems like controversy brewing among the far right may catch up with Governor Pence. Pence, a former member of Congress, has stuck
to fiscal conservatism. According to MSNBC, Pence has cut spending, lowered taxes, continued support for the controversial “Right to Work” union law and vehemently opposed new regulations. Pence’s policy stance has made him a favorite among Conservative groups such as Americans for Prosperity, the political organization of billionaires Charles and David Koch. GOP strategist Keith Appell told Politico that Pence has a “unique quality” that would “unify the various factions in the party” if he ran for president. As part of his conservative brand, Pence denied funds for a Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, and instead proposed the expansion of the state’s Healthy Indiana Plan. Concerned with ensuring personal responsibility and putting skin in the game, the expansion alternative that will have members make monthly contributions into a health savings account, Healthy Indiana Plan 2.0, HIP 2.0, is what Governor Pence has called a “market-based, consumer-driven” program. However, many on the right are not viewing Pence’s Medicaid expansion alternative as totally in line with conservative principles. In his article for the Federalist, “Federalism Missing From Gov. Pence’s Medicaid Expansion,” J. Scott Moody cites an analysis that concludes that HIP 2.0 will have “a devastating impact” by “shrinking the private sector,” as well as “eliminating jobs” and “lowering income.” Moody goes on to explain
that HIP 2.0 further violates eroding states rights, as well as randomly reminding us that government is a “taker,” unlike the private sector which is the “maker.” Though Moody’s commentary on HIP 2.0 is somewhat silly, incoherent and loaded with stale talking points, his perspective is widely felt. The Florida-based Foundation for Government Accountability, FGA, which has set up stoppence.com, expressed on the site that they feel that Pence is “sliding to the left” and accused HIP 2.0 of being a “thinly disguised way” to expand “Obamacare entitlements.” FGA CEO Tarren Bragdon told MSNBC that Pence is a flip flopper, saying that Pence the “congressman” was “clearly conservative,” which isn’t as apparent now. Bragdon went on to say that Pence’s record on conservative fiscal policy looks weak compared to “the largest expansion of welfare in Indiana history.” With criticism that relies more on ideological talking points rather than sound policy analysis, far right conservatives are missing the point and design of HIP 2.0, to extend coverage to more Hoosiers while promoting ownership of their health care, and are already disregarding a 2016 prospect who has overwhelming potential. Rather than being disenchanted by HIP 2.0, far right conservatives should instead be impressed by the programs design that promotes state based health care programs, while promoting the health and wellness of Hoosiers.

A Young Man’s Guide to College
Don’t settle for simple: Strive for spectacular
Jack is a 33-year-old man who works as a cashier at a grocery store. He can’t buy a house because he has a tendency to avoid all possible things that, like a mortgage, could complicate his life; plus he can’t afford it. Anna, his girlfriend, doesn’t love him and he doesn’t Columnist love her. The two of them being together just made sense because they got along well, were from the same town and probably didn’t want to burden themselves by daring to discover if there was someone else more fitting to be with. Why can’t Jack buy a house? He settled. Why is Jack lacking a fulfilling relationship? He settled. Easy ladies, I’m certain Anna settled too. I’ll talk more about that later. You see this all the time! People settle and are immovable from the comfort provided by their complacency. We guys settle when we marry because it just makes sense to propose if you and your girlfriend dated for a long time, right? If we aren’t self-aware when we graduate college, then we may be walking into the ever-so easy trap of settling when it comes to our career.
Ben Ramseier
You settle every time you hang out with friends who don’t really respect you and they sometimes get you in trouble at parties. Settling for simple, non-fruitful things leads to life reigning over you, instead of you taking charge. Let’s settle the marriage thing first. If you’re not in love with the girl or you don’t even see a possibility of the two of you getting married, then why are you in a relationship that could lead to a superficial proposal? You are not only wasting your time, but you’re not being man enough to step up and cut things off to save her effort and time also. It may sound harsh now, but we’re still in college and in the long run, it will turn out better for the both of you. Here’s the truth: girls have better intuition than us guys. Therefore, they are Yoda-approved lie detectors and can tell when something is off. They will be able to interpret your realization of your own settling issues and they can definitely tell if they don’t love you. Congratulations, since you were too much of a coward and thought breaking up would complicate things, you have now inherited a lifelong complication through a lifelong commitment. Don’t waste your time and especially a girl’s time with cowardly complacence. If you need to, break up and free the two of you from the possibility of being bound
with heavy regret. Who knows, she might beat you to the punch. Personally, settling at a job scares me. I’m not only talking about small jobs like McDonald’s, I’m talking about a career at a company where I hate my job description. But hey, at least it sounds like it would be an easy job to acquire and it would pay for what I need to survive. I hope that’s not you, is it? Settling for a simple job that will pay for simple necessities just to get by? One thing that I think all of us have observed is that those who settle won’t smile as much as those who chose a path that didn’t welcome them initially and required much sacrifice. Yet those who trek the unfriendly path will remain optimistic while recovering from tripping over roots of self-doubt, tussling through branches of gossip, and being weary of self-entitlement prowling in the shadows. Why will these types of people smile more in the end? They have a vision and their vision provides a vitality that those who settle will never get to experience. Nor will the people who settle get to experience the joy from a hard-earned reward. I understand that we’re college students and we may have to settle for a job upon graduation. But, be selfaware enough to know which direction
you want to go. You don’t need to know every single detail; the direction is all you need to think about for now. Figure out a direction in which you want to go for a career and then ask yourself what can you do now to start moving in that direction. It’s fine to have a job that pays when you get out of college, but make sure you are not lacking vision. How do you avoid settling? Self-worth. You have to respect yourself enough to realize you deserve your visions — only when hard work is applied of course. Once you figure out your selfworth and what inspires you, then the idea of sacrificing vitality provided by your vision for the solace of settling in complacency sounds ridiculous. There are times to settle for simple things though. There’s nothing like hanging out with some close friends at a bonfire with a cold beer in hand instead of going out. Throw the football around with your nephew. Enjoy a competitive game of pick-up basketball. Learn a new song to play on your instrument. Simple things are to be enjoyed simply and unforced. On the other hand, settling for simplicity in more meaningful areas of life is repressing your acknowledgement of your self-worth, thus making you stagnant. A stagnant life sounds really boring to me.
anywhere from $300 a semester to $100 a month. Those are already some large sums of money, and when you stack elevated housing fees for Reeve Hall, it could become a financial burden to join a sorority. The state will only allow you to take out so many loans, and if you don’t have scholarships or grants, your refund may not cover your dues. This could force some girls to take on an extra job on top of increased time spent doing homework and charity events. Reeve Hall has many different housing options that vary in price, but they still tend to be more expensive than their non-sorority counterparts. The Lincoln
Quads and Erickson Hall are considered “premium” housing with group bathrooms, as stated on ISU’s website. The Quads are $4,628.25 a semester; the Reeve Hall price for similar premium housing is $4,882.25 a semester. To live in Burford, Hines or Jones you will pay $4,883.25 a semester for a double room with a semi-private bathroom. In Reeve Hall you will pay $5,393.25 a semester for equal living conditions. Reeve Hall can run as much as $7,178.25 a semester for the most expensive room. Most sororities require their members to live in Reeve for at least one year. So, if you can’t afford Reeve Hall you should not join a sorority, as very few exceptions
to this rule are made, as Alpha Omicron Pi president Kalee Allen stated in a recent interview. “New members will be required to stay one year in the new hall,” Allen said. “We make exceptions, but if you can’t [afford to] live in Reeve Hall, you might not be able to join a sorority.” These rules and prices are creating an economic divide that is not good for lower-class students who may not be eligible for as much funding. This means that these sororities are not nearly as diverse as they could be. This kind of economic discrimination goes against everything that Indiana State University stands for.
Lower-income students snubbed by Greek life
Statesman Editorial
Many students choose Indiana State University due to our rich Greek life options. While they aren’t for everybody, they still remain incredibly popular, and this year would seem to be a good year to join a sorority with the building of Reeve Hall. But Reeve Hall is also one of the most expensive housing options on campus. Many girls join a sorority to meet new people but one large drawback of joining a sorority is the dues you have to pay each semester. As a new member you will pay anywhere from $200 to $700 depending on the sorority, and as an inducted member you can pay

Homesickness ‘shaken, not stirred’ into submission Genese Zatkoff Reporter Thirsty to know what’s happening on campus? This Tuesday the Mocktail Mingle was held in Dede 1. This event was geared towards getting the students at Indiana State more socially active. Student wellness associate director Joni Clark shared why students usually attend. “Generally the freshmen and sophomores are a little homesick after these first few weeks; this event is so
everyone can mingle and try [nonalcoholic] drinks,” Clark said. There were games, prizes and a wide arrangement of non-alcoholic drinks to try, including sangria, ombre cocktails and Island Splash. Students were highly encouraged to go mingle and see what life is like outside of their dorm. Those who went had an enjoyable time. “At first I expected this to be really awkward, but then I realized everyone felt that way so it made it less awkward,”
senior recreation management major Amanda Engle said. This event was held for the students to practice social skills and discuss similar interests. On top of that, there were free drinks. “I wouldn’t change anything about this. I loved meeting new people and mingling without the pressure,” freshman and computer science major Jaspreet Grewal said. One of the many volunteers there was senior Mary Davis, a public health major.
“I’ve had a lot of students just come up and start talking to me,” Davis said. “I was really surprised by how casual and laid-back everything was.” “I was a little hesitant about going because I didn’t know what to expect. But I’m glad I went. I got a free water bottle out of it so it’s a win-win,” freshman and computer science major Elijah Smith said. Students can keep up with various activities by visiting the school website and looking at the signs posted all around campus.

eventually realized this and began to help him work out his lines at table readings. Winkler had always struggled in school, but he didn’t discover why until he had his son tested for dyslexia. Winkler noticed that he had all of the same symptoms as his son, and at 31 he was finally diagnosed with the disorder. Winkler then talked about working with dyslexia. “You never get over your dyslexia; you learn to negotiate with it,” Winkler said. At the end of the talk, Winkler read a selection from one of his books, “I Got A D On My Salame”, and when he was finished many of the audience members were in
tears. Winkler went on to address issues in education. “We could not make it more difficult for teachers,” he said. “Up to seventy percent of incarcerated [people] are dyslexic. With the exception of psychopaths, they probably just fell through the cracks.” “How [children] learn has nothing to do with how brilliant they are.” Winkler is also very passionate about promoting children’s selfesteem. “You cannot joke with children. Find another way to talk to children because they absorb [criticism] like a sponge or a vacuum cleaner.” Winkler received multiple standing ovations and several applause breaks.

Victory Bell battle against Ball State looms Sycamores swing
for sweet season Kevin Jenison ISU Athletic Media Relations
Indiana State won against Tennessee Tech last Saturday and they are hopeful to hit Ball State hard this Saturday (Photo courtesy of ISU Communications and Marketing).
Tyler Sanders Reporter A rivalry will be renewed on Saturday in Muncie, Indiana, as the Indiana State University Sycamores battle the Ball State Cardinals for the Victory Bell inside Scheumann Stadium. The Sycamores, hoping to get above the .500 mark for the first time in two seasons, will battle the Cardinals, a longtime nemesis since the teams first met in 1924. ISU has not won the Victory Bell since 1987 and will look to gain it back as the two teams finally hook up after an 11-year hiatus. The Terre Haute gang has not won in Muncie since 1982. Ball State, 1-1 on the year, is coming off a disappointing 17-13 loss at Iowa last Saturday but boasts a variety of options when they meet Indiana State this weekend. A key for the Cardinals will be the running game. Look for Ball State to go to running back Jahwan Edwards to get the run game going. Edwards had 81 yards rushing against Iowa. Second-season quarterback Ozzie Mann however will control the tempo of the game. Against the Hawkeyes, he was 15-30 passing for a total of 129 yards. Mann will be wearing No. 15 for the Cardinals. The man that Mann will target will be KeVonn Mabon, who had three receptions for 44 yards a week ago. Big play potential is there as he had a single play go for 26 yards.
Zack Ryan and Eric Patterson will anchor a tough Ball State defense that prides on its protection against the pass. Ryan had a great game against Iowa as he recorded a total of 10 tackles, seven solo and three assisted. Patterson also had an outstanding game, as he had nine tackles that were all solo tackles. Patterson had a total of two tackles for loss that added to a negative 11 yards. For Indiana State, the passing game will continue to be key as the blue and white progress towards a more consistent offensive effort. Mike Perish threw for almost 400 yards as he had a total of 383 yards against Tennessee Tech last week. In doing so, he was 26-34. He threw for three of the seven touchdowns. Alongside Perish’s turnover-free outing, Saturday’s win over the Golden Eagles marked one of the senior’s best performances as a Sycamore. The key target for Perish is Gary Owens who was just a yard short of 200 receiving yards. Owens long play came on a third and 45. That play was for a total of 79 yards and a first down. To go along with that catch, Owens had five other catches. In the red zone, the Ball State Cardinals will need to watch out for tight end Jamar Brown, who had two touchdowns against Tennessee Tech.

The Indiana State women’s golf team will tee off their season this weekend as they compete in the Western Illinois University Autumn Invitational on Saturday and Sunday. The 36-hole tournament will be played on the Harry Mussatto Golf Course located adjacent to the Western Illinois University campus. “We have had some pretty fierce competition to see who will be the five making the trip to Macomb this weekend,” Greg Towne, Indiana State women’s golf coach said. “It came down to the final hole of the qualifying round Tuesday.” The senior-laden Sycamores will send five athletes to the competition including seniors Gina Della Camera, Amanda Smith and Erinn Sutton. Joining in will be junior Shelby Williams and sophomore Marissa Uradomo. “The team has been working hard on their games and this tournament begins a two-month period where we continue to improve their skills for the spring season,” Towne said. THE COURSE: The Harry Mussatto Golf Course at Western Illinois University has been serving the campus community and the city of Macomb for over 25 years. It stands as one of the finest 18-hole golf facilities in the state of Illinois. The golf course was designed by Ken Killian and Dick Nugent, two of the finest golf course designers in the business. The facility features teaching stations which include a driving range, putting green, practice bunker and two practice holes. The rolling terrain of the Lamoine River Valley provides spectacular views and elevation changes, rare for this part of Illinois. Stadium features greet the golfer with beautifully sculpted mounds and carefully preserved forests of oaks, hickories and cottonwoods. The course also features Ken Killian’s trademark of bunkering and creative water hazards that are sure to challenge golfers of all skill levels. THE WEATHER: The Macomb area received 3.5 inches of rain on Tuesday and Wednesday, which will make for a soggy yet playable course. The forecast for Friday’s practice round is for mostly cloudy skies with a high of 61 degrees and winds out of the north-northeast at 11 Continued on PAGE 10

The defense looks to keep improving as they didn’t allow a single point to Tennessee Tech. Tsali Lough will look to have another great game after having a total of eight tackles. Five of those tackles were solo with the other three being assists. Jordan Wallace hopes to continue his good defense as well. In the game against the Golden Eagles, he had a total of seven tackles. One of those tackles was a sack for a loss of three yards. To go with that, he had five solo and two assisted tackles. One spot that the Sycamores will look to improve will be the special teams, whose mistakes resulted in the 14 points scored against ISU last Saturday. In the previous game, both of Tennessee Techs touchdowns came while on special teams. The Sycamores had a punt blocked in the end zone for a touchdown and the following series saw the Sycamores’ punt returned 72 yards for a score. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. Saturday with the game being broadcasted live online at ESPN3. The radio broadcast can be heard on 95.9 WDKE.

WEEKLY PLAYBOOK:
Week 2 promises punch, big plays Zach Rainey Reporter
After an exciting opening week of NFL football, week two continues the trend of exciting matchups. So buy your drinks and snacks now and warm up the seat of your chair. Here are this week’s best games to watch. Miami at Buffalo — Usually this face-off is not what many of us consider a “must-wwatch” game, but these are two teams that I think are ready to take the next step into being competitive in what’s been the New England Patriots’ division for the past decade. Look at the running game of both teams. If CJ Spiller takes that leap that everyone in the organization has been hoping for the past few seasons, the Bills could be a legitimate threat. As for the Dolphins, if Knowshon Moreno can have a season similar to last year running the ball, this could be an interesting division late in the season. New England at Minnesota — This is an intriguing matchup because it
features two teams that had shocking performances in week one; one for better and one for worse. The Patriots look to get back to their winning ways against the Vikings, but their weakness lies in their run defense and arguably the best running back in football, Adrian Peterson, plays for the Vikings. The Vikings are looking to prove that they belong in the tough race for the NFC North crown. Philadelphia at Indianapolis — The Colts host their home opener on Monday night against the Eagles, who escaped an upset to the Jaguars last week. With the Eagles having some offensive line injuries right now, it’ll be crucial for the Colts to get in Nick Foles’ face. We saw last week that Foles panics when he gets pressured, but when he has time he can pick the defense apart. LeSean McCoy is due for a big game this week. He didn’t have as many touches as he would’ve liked last week due to his
team being down most of the game. The Colts had a difficult task in week one, having to face the best offense in the NFL. They showed a lot of life in the second half, falling just short of a miraculous comeback on the road. Like the Eagles, this team has some offensive line issues as well. Trent Richardson doesn’t have the “make it happen” ability that McCoy does, so it’s crucial that he gets a hole to run through. Atlanta at Cincinnati — Both teams managed to come out of week one with 1-0 records. The Falcons are proving that when their offense is healthy, they are tough to stop. If you like big plays, then this is the game you want to watch. Both teams have a young, big-play receiver that they like to use. Julio Jones is trying to get back on track from his shortened season last year and AJ Green is looking to continue to be one of the most consistent young receivers in the game.

mph. Saturday’s first round will see sunny skies with a high of 64 and winds from the north at 7 mph. The final round on Sunday will see mostly sunny skies with a high of 67 and winds from the south-southeast at 7 mph. FIVE SENIORS LEADING SYCAMORES THIS SEASON Five student-athletes are in their final season of competition for Indiana State University including Gina Della Camera, Andrea Frankiewicz, Margaret Harper, Amanda Smith and Erinn Sutton. Shelby Williams is the lone junior on the team that also has two sophomores in Megan Berube and Marissa Uradomo. Joining the team this year is freshman Dawn Turner. “I would love to have this group of seniors around for another year,” Towne said. “They have worked hard, listened well and improved with each season. I am excited to see how their competitive nature and their leadership will develop this season.” Smith capped her junior campaign by tying for second at the 2014 MVC Championship, tying the school record for low round with a 68 in the third round of the MVC Championship, and setting the school record for low 54hole tournament with a 219 at the MVC Championship. She also holds the sixth-best 36-hole tournament round with a 150 at the 2013 Butler Fall Invitational. With 14 career top 20 finishes, Smith has seen her scoring average drop from 81.6 as a freshman to 77.1 after her junior campaign. Sutton began her Sycamore career with an 85.1 per round average and is one of the most improved players on the team, dropping her average to 79.2 after her junior season. She posted her first top-10 finish at the Indiana State Spring Invitational where she tied for fourth. She has five top-20 finishes over her career. Della Camera has been a steady performer for Towne throughout her first three seasons and dropped her average from a freshman mark of 83.3 to 82.1 after her junior campaign. Her best finish last year was in the Indiana State Invitational where she tied for 15th, her third top-20 career finish. Frankiewicz has been seeing more

playing team with each passing season and has gone from an 86.8 average as a freshman to 84.7 as a junior. Harper is the fifth senior on the team and has also made steady improvements in her golf game. While not playing in a tournament as a freshman, she did compete in one as a sophomore and two her junior year. SYCAMORES TO COMPETE IN 10 TOURNAMENTS DURING 20142015 CAMPAIGN The Sycamores will compete in five tournaments in the fall and five next Spring culminating with the 2015 Missouri Valley Conference Women’s Golf Championship at the Burlington Golf Club in Burlington, Iowa. The April 2015 championship is hosted by the University of Northern Iowa. One of the highlights of the 20142015 season is the Indiana State Spring Invitational which will be conducted April 12-13 at the Terre Haute Country Club. The Sycamores are the defending champions. Four new tournaments are on the schedule this year with three coming in the fall including this weekend’s WIU Autumn Invitational in Macomb, Illinois. The Sycamores will also play in the Saluki Shootout in Carbondale, Illinois, Sept. 20-21, and the Diane Thomason Invitational at Iowa City, Iowa, October 4-5. After a year’s absence, the Sycamores will return to the Payne Stewart Memorial in Springfield, Missouri, October 13-14, and conclude the fall for the third straight year with the Charles Braun Invitational in Boonville, Indiana, October 27-28. Indiana State opens the spring portion in Tennessee March 16-17 when they compete in the Bobby Nichols Intercollegiate at Sevierville, Tennessee, for the second straight year. Indiana State will then venture out east to compete in the Low Country Intercollegiate at the Moss Creek Golf Club in Hilton Head, South Carolina, March 20-22. April’s stretch run begins with the Bradley Spring Invitational in Peoria, Illinois, April 3-4 followed by the Indiana State Spring Invitational April 12-13 and concluding with the MVC Women’s Golf Championship April 1921.
