Parking issues plague permit-holders Randy Ricci Reporter Parking spaces around campus this year have been extremely scarce and the lack of spaces has been tempting students to park in unauthorized lots.

Students often have to park in remote lots and walk far to their housing.

There have already been assaults and attempted robberies on the Indiana State University campus this semester.

The campus has dedicated police call stations that connect you straight to 911 if you are in danger or need a ride to your home, but to some this isn’t enough.

Jake Harris, a freshman in exploratory studies major, said he is inconvenienced by the lack of spaces on campus.

“I drive to work and after a long day I have to park way across campus and walk back to my dorm,” Harris said.

“The parking situation is ridiculous and if I have to pay so much for a parking pass, I should have more convenient parking.”

With the record enrollment of students this year, it’s no wonder that the parking is limited.

ISU has sold 3,471 student permits, 1,129 staff permits and 481 remote lot permits. That represents 5,081 cars that need to park.

There are 4,761 parking spaces at Indiana State and this doesn’t include teacher or handicap parking.

Other colleges have rules against freshmen bringing cars to campus, but freshmen like Harris, who have offcampus jobs, are then forced to find a new way to work or not work off campus at all.

The lack of parking on campus tempts Sycamore students to park in staff lots, hoping that they don’t get towed or get a ticket.

Lori Elkins, assistant director of public safety, said that ISU has issued 1,824 tickets since August 18. “[T]he last thing any college student needs is another thing to take away their money,” Elkins said.

Tickets are not the only problem; students also face their car getting towed, which is bad for college kids considering that for many it’s their only form of transportation available.

The Public Safety website states that officers will boot vehicles after five tickets, paid or unpaid. Students must pay a $50 fine plus pay all tickets in the next 48 hours to get the boot off. If not paid by the end of the 48 hours, the vehicle will then be towed.

Worrying about classes and extracurricular activities is enough; students shouldn’t need to worry about their cars getting towed as well.

There is no clear solution to the parking issues. Although the consequences they face such as towing or tickets are harsh, they are still necessary.

If you have to walk from a remote lot at night make sure to take extra caution and be aware of your surroundings and feel free to call the Campus Safety if you are scared and would like assistance walking across campus.

If you obey the parking rules, no matter how frustrating, you should not have to worry about getting a ticket or having your car towed.

Veterans cash in on service benefits

Makyla Thompson Reporter

Indiana State University helps veterans by offering programs and giving them the benefits received through military work.

Every year Indiana State has thousands of students who enroll, and between 350 and 360 enrolling each semester are veterans.

A portion of the students have come from the military to either further their education to do other jobs besides the military, or they have to get a degree in order to get a specific job in the military.

The government pays for the veteran’s education by benefits each veteran earned based on their military information The veterans can each find out what kinds of benefits they earned by using a military ID that they use in certain

computers.

Michael Caress, the Veteran Service Coordinator, is happy for the increase in veteran enrollment.

“We have computers in the veteran resource center that are cat-card acceptable,” Caress said. “[Those] currently in the military, guard or reserve can access their military information by plugging that card into the computer, and that’s the way a lot of them have to apply to get their education benefits.”

Most of the veterans on campus hang out in the Veteran Resource Center, located in the technology building.

“It’s strictly for veteran students,” Caress said. “Typically veterans like being around other veterans. It doesn’t make any difference with what branch or service they were in, but they go and they congregate in there.”

The Veteran Resource Center is

not the only place veterans can get assistance.

ISU provides two more programs that help veterans transition to life on campus.

The Student Veteran Organization provides opportunities for student veterans to get together and do activities.

They also have a Coach-a-Vet program that veterans can go to if they need to speak to someone.

The program uses upperclassmen veterans to help the new incoming veterans get used to being on campus, because being in the military and being on campus are very different situations.

Veteran John Rogers, a senior communication major, is also a veteran.

Before he came to ISU he was in the army.

“I wanted to apply for an officer’s position,” Rogers said. “To be an officer

in the U.S. Army you have to have a bachelor’s degree. I decided to go to Indiana State University to be closer to my family, and because Indiana State has an ROTC program that I was interested in.”

“Coming from the army to a campus was a big culture shock,” Rogers said.

“In the military things are stricter than they are here in college, so it can be challenging for veteran students to adjust.”

Elizabeth Brochin, a sophomore majoring in speech language pathology, said she’s glad these veterans get the chance to further their education.

“I think everyone deserves an opportunity,” Brochin said.

“I think it’s a great opportunity for veterans to be able to continue their education just like everyone else. It’s what they deserve.”

Harassment on campus Kristi Ashby News Editor Harassment reports have been filed at Indiana State University and these acts are happening across campus.

This is a serious crime on campus and all students, faculty and staff are encouraged to report any discrimination or harassment immediately.

The most recent report of harassment filed at public safety was on Sept. 9 at 1:36 p.m. and happened at Blumberg Hall.

Indiana State University prohibits discrimination and harassment and has released this discrimination and harassment policy outlining the forms of harassment “based on arbitrary considerations of such characteristics as age, color, disability, ethnic, sex, marital status, national origin, race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or veteran status, and also prohibits retaliation against one who complaints of such discrimination or harassment.”

Danielle Vorhees, a freshman athletic training major, thinks harassment and discrimination are two separate problems.

“I think harassment is being pushed out of your comfort zone,” Vorhees said. “Like anything that makes you uncomfortable and you’re not okay with. Discrimination is picking apart other people for who they are or their differences.”

If you feel that you or anyone else have been harassed or discriminated against while on campus please call or go to the public safety department to report the offensive behavior.

Students facing discrimination or harassment can contact the Office of Equal Opportunity by calling 812-2378954.

Sycamores can also contact the University Police at their administrative office at 812-237-7829. If it is an emergency call ISU police dispatch at 812-237-5555.

‘Swatters’ cause mass mayhem for livestreamers So there’s a new phenomenon some of you in the Internet gaming community might be privy to: Swatting.

It’s made possible by livestreaming — where someone streams a live session of themself playing a video game. idea behind this Columnist is The that viewers can talk and interact with the person playing the game; sometimes they help the player through a certain level, other times they just chew the fat and ask the player questions.

Most people who host livestream gaming are professional YouTube users — “YouTubers” — who make game walkthrough or “Let’s Play” videos for a living; this is an easy way for the fans to feel like they can be a part of their favorite video producer’s life and help them out.

Jake Porter

Here’s where Swatting comes in. It only works when the Player is streaming a game that contains violence — or at least has gunshot audio at some point.

The Swatter will call the police and claim they heard gunshots at the Player’s location.

Often the Player will have a mailing address on their profile or a personal website for business purposes.

This allows the Swatter to make the call seem more real, and they will call the police branch closest to the address they find.

Responding to reports of gunshots, the police branch sends in the Swat teams to bash in doors and save lives.

Some of these are stopped before it gets serious, but this is unfortunately not always the case.

Twitch streaming player Maxcuster X experienced Swatting when someone reported his “Call of Duty” livestream session with his wife.

Maxcuster realized what was happening when his daughter noticed a

cop car outside their house.

When he stepped outside with his wife, he found his house surrounded by eight cop cars, the police chief and a Swat response vehicle.

The person who made the Swatting call claimed to be Maxcuster, also claiming he was drunk, had killed his wife and a cop and was planning to kill his daughter.

Thankfully, since the real Maxcuster walked out with his supposedly-dead wife, cooler heads prevailed and no one was hurt.

He was, however, still cuffed and sent to the station for questioning due to procedure.

The guy who made the Swatting call was still on the phone claiming to be Maxcuster even as the real Maxcuster was being questioned by the police.

As of now the caller has not been caught but is still being hunted by the FBI. An entire gaming group known as ‘The Creatures’ was Swatted in the office

building they were using.

Their camera was left on, recording the entire Swatting. Luckily no one was hurt.

The problem with this form of harassment is that there is no way to prevent it outside of avoiding the Internet.

This isn’t funny; it puts people’s lives at risk and it wastes tax dollars and public resources.

Luckily, most of these incidents have ended peacefully, but mark my words, someone is going to get hurt or killed.

When that happens, it doesn’t matter who’s responsible.

Someone in the government is going to decide that enough is enough and our liberties on the Internet or gaming are going to be shut down.

People are already fighting over net neutrality; Swatting is not a good thing for Internet freedom.

People getting hurt over a prank is all they need to bring in Internet and gaming bans and regulations.

Appearance plays more important role than previously thought In a world where we are all connected with Snap Chat and selfies we all care about personal appearance to a degree.

But think about all those people you see on the news every day about whom you don’t give a second thought.

What about the people the radio?

Columnist onYou construct an image about them from just their voice and

T.C. Wampler

how they act on the radio.

I can remember meeting one of my favorite radio show hosts for the first time.

It was Bob from “The Bob and Tom Show” and I was so disappointed when I finally met him, not because he wasn’t funny but because I had built an image of him in my head and he did not meet that expectation.

Think about every political election since 1960 and how much appearance played a role.

Every candidate has to look and act their best because their pictures are

posted all around the Internet and cast on all the news channels every day.

The election between John F. Kennedy and Nixon has been coined as the first election to be decided by television.

Women swooned over JFK’s handsome looks while the radio listeners were drawn to Nixon’s strong voice.

The nation was divided because the radio played to Nixon’s strengths while TV played to JFK’s. When JFK took office it was clear that TV was now the deciding factor for every presidential election.

The media are always reshaping the

way we view public people. They can warp the ideals and even use it for evil.

But when you are one of the most powerful people in the land it’s hard not to be judged on the things you say, do and wear on TV. Just recently President Obama came under fire for wearing a tan suit during a press conference.

The media ran with the story of Obama wearing something “unbecoming” of a president and they didn’t focus on what happened in the conference.

Banning books blocks basic human rights, beliefs According to the Constitution of the United States of America, the first amendment guarantees all of its citizens the freedom to express themselves.

Of course everybody has a different way in which they release this expression.

One of the most common forms of expression throughout history is by means of written books.

But what happens when the public doesn’t approve of these books? People Columnist try to ban them.

By challenging whether a book is allowed to be read, one challenges the author’s right to think and express their opinion.

Who are we to deny them this basic human right?

Books allow us to share our imagination and keep records. They provide readers and authors a way to escape reality.

Some books, such as the “Aeneid” records beliefs and myths as well as teach a life lesson.

Others, such as George Orwell’s “Animal Farm,” are used to make political and societal statements. But even these books are challenged.

According to the American Library Association, Orwell’s “Animal Farm” has been challenged many times as people have attempted to ban it.

They say it is too graphic, inappropriate for the age group and generally disagree that it makes a political statement.

It is almost as though Orwell himself is on trial because he disagrees with the way things are run.

Another great example of challenged books is the infamous “Harry Potter” series by J. K. Rowling.

Why do people try to ban such a simple series?

It is said to be extremely violent, inappropriate for

Zachery Davis

Appearance Continued from PAGE 4

This is when appearance takes precedence over everything else and I think it is the worst thing we can do.

The United States of America was founded to escape persecution and now we are no longer listening to what others have to say, instead focusing on looks.

This shallow view on our political system is not an effective way of doing things.

We are electing officials because they look good, not for what they stand for or how much they know. It is the same thing as when you try to get a job and the employer says you need more work or life experience before they will hire you.

List of popular banned books “Gone With the Wind” – Margaret Mitchell “The Great Gatsby” – F. Scott Fitzgerald “To Kill a Mockingbird” – Harper Lee “1984” – George Orwell “A Farewell to Arms” – Ernest Hemingway “Brave New World” – Aldous Huxley “Animal Farm” – George Orwell “The Lord of the Rings” – J.R.R. Tolkien “Slaughterhouse-Five” – Kurt Vonnegut “Cat’s Cradle” – Kurt Vonnegut “A Clockwork Orange” – Anthony Burgess “The Jungle” – Upton Sinclair

the age group, uses witchcraft and contains religious connotations that the general public opposes — even though that is also guaranteed in the first amendment.

And as for the witchcraft, we pretend we are witches, goblins and ghouls every year for Halloween.

But “Harry Potter” still brings a feeling of joy, peace and an urge to stay close with your friends and fight for what you believe in.

But why do people see so many things wrong with books like “Harry Potter” and not see the good in them?

The same should be done for these candidates who want our vote.

It becomes a crippling system when we hire people for what they look like rather than what they can do for our country, company or the American people.

I think we should blur out the faces of candidates who want to run for office to force people to listen to them instead of how good they look in front of a camera.

We are visual creatures and we want things that look nice.

A good appearance allows you get further in a job interview, yet it should not be the deciding factor.

Good-looking individuals are afforded an easier life than someone who does not meet the appearance expectations.

According to a team of researchers at Ohio State University, the human mind processes bad things quicker and easier than their comparable good. This shows to be a major problem when evaluating if something is good or bad.

Nevertheless, whether or not humans have a negativity bias, by banning books we are suppressing the right to information and the right to freedom of expression.

Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas said, “If we don’t believe in freedom of expression for people we despise, we don’t believe in it at all.”

I cannot think of a better way to word that phrase.

Everybody has the right to express themselves, even if the thoughts and opinions expressed are fought over and disagreed with.

We cannot suppress one of the most basic human rights to freely express our beliefs. That is exactly what happens when books are banned.

So how do we solve such a big problem? For starters we need to train ourselves to overcome the negativity bias.

We need to learn to appreciate the good as well as the bad. We need to stand up for one another and our basic rights. We need to agree to disagree and we need to do so without malice.

If we keep challenging books we eventually will live in a society where information is withheld from us and we will not know why.

We won’t be allowed to ask questions and we won’t be able to think freely for ourselves.

We will effectively live in Orwell’s “1984” and Ray Bradbury’s “Fahrenheit 451.”

So whether or not you are challenging a book or disagreeing with a statement, remember: an opinion is an opinion whether or not you agree. And we are all entitled to our own ideas.

We create these superficial barriers that only the elite can afford to get through.

I have seen time and time again where people find a reason to not like or hire someone and it usually comes down to personal appearance.

I will admit that when I see people come into my workplace for an interview and they do not dress their best, I judge them.

I fall victim to the very thing I wish to eliminate from our society. It is hard to not think of someone’s personal appearance when you have to work around them or deal with them, though it’s especially hard when you have judge them fairly against others.

Blues Fest brings 2 nights full of beer, chow, dancing Mariah Lee Reporter The 14th annual Blues at the Crossroads occurred this weekend on Friday and Saturday night. Blues at the Crossroads is an annual blues music festival that downtown Terre Haute hosts every year. Blues at the Crossroads is more commonly referred to as Blues Fest by locals.

Blues at the Crossroads was held at the intersection of Wabash and 7th.

The entrance fee was $10 for a bracelet, $5 for Indiana State students with IDs and free for those under the age of 16.

Shelley Rubinacci, manager of The Verve and staff coordinator of Blues Fest, said that the turnout was great. “It was a really great turnout. All the businesses along Blues Fest had a benefit.”

Although seating was limited and bringing lawn chairs was recommended,

both nights were packed, Rubinacci said.

This year’s festival showcased 17 blues bands.

One band in particular, The Reverend Peyton’s Big Damn Band had the dance floor completely packed.

Oktoberfest shines light on German culture Andrew Christman Features Editor The 42nd Annual Oktoberfest took place this weekend at the Clabber Girl Plaza and was an overall success.

Those in attendance could relax and enjoy a mixture of German and American food, as well as enjoying American and German beer on tap for those who were of age.

Helga Phillips, one of the founders of the Terre Haute Oberlandler Club, said that the Blues Fest taking part nearby didn’t hurt Oktoberfest in the least.

“Blues Fest didn’t hurt us this year,” Phillips said. “It might have helped us because people were in the area.”

Phillips also said that due to how close Oktoberfest was to campus, Indiana State was very involved this year.

“ISU students usually come a little later in the evening,” Phillips said. “We also had Pi Kappa Alpha come and help us set up and tear down like they always do for us.”

Phillips added that the Terre Haute

Oktoberfest was a hit among community members and students alike as all gathered at the Clabber Girl Plaza to enjoy German culture and food (Photo by Gary Macadaeg).

Police Department was a great help as well.

“THPD really helped us this year by checking IDs and making sure that there weren’t any problems,” Phillips said.

“However this is always a really good crowd and we don’t have any problems here.”

Phillips said that she is very fond of ISU and really encourages students and staff to come out next year.

Karl Drabney, president of the Terre Haute Oberlandler club, also said that Oktoberfest was well-attended.

“Blues Fest didn’t hurt us as a lot of people came here to eat,” Drabney said.

“Here, we are free unless they want to drink or get a little something to eat and our prices are reasonable.”

Drabney said that THPD was there for security.

“They did an excellent job, just as they always do,” Drabney said.

Several ISU students were also in attendance this weekend at Oktoberfest, like junior biology major Rodney Lockman and junior biology major Stephen Jones.

“I’ve never been before and it’s in easy walking distance,” Lockman said. “I have to say that I really like it here and really wanted to try some of the different beers and relax. It’s a lot of fun.”

Jones said that he didn’t really have anything better to do.

“I just came with Rodney [Lockman] and came to experience it,” Jones said.

The Oberlandler Club will also be hosting Strassenfest in the spring.

SPORTS

Sycamore soccer suckerpunches Chicago State The Indiana State women’s soccer team earned a decisive 7-0 victory over the Chicago State Cougars Sunday afternoon in front of 200 fans. It was the first regular season match at home in the 2014 season. ISU improves to 2-4-2 on the season, while Chicago State drops to 1-7.

Brittany San Roman played a full game in net for the Sycamores recording just two saves. The ISU defense allowed just three shots during the match. Gabby Klemp and Lexy Larson split the match for the Cougars. Klemp played the first half and allowed two goals while saving six. Larson played the second half and gave up five goals while saving just four.

Offensively for the Sycamores, Sydney Lovelace was the point leader on the day, tallying two goals and adding two assists for a six-point afternoon. Sydney Loesing, Kate Johnson, Maddie Orf, Natalie Vaught and Elle Steele all added goals for the Sycamores. Orf, Johnson and Molly McKee added one assist each. ISU had scored six goals all season prior to Sunday’s competition.

Lovelace scored the first goal of the match in the 15th minute. She took a shot from the outer edge of the box and it was able to scoot by the Cougar keeper for the goal. Loesing added the second goal when McKee sent in a cross to the far post and found Loesing who was able to head it past a diving keeper in the 26th minute.

In the second half, Elle Steele recorded her first goal of the season when Lovelace placed a beautiful corner kick eight yards in front of the net and Steele was able to head it home in the 54th minute.

Johnson scored her third goal of the season on a through ball from Orf and beat the keeper from seven yards out in the 65th minute. Orf and Johnson switched roles on the next goal, which saw Johnson play the ball back to Orf who ripped a shot from twelve yards out to beat the keeper to the far post still in the 65th minute.

Again in the 65th minute, Lovelace was able to dribble through the young Chicago State defense and drilled a shot near post that was deflected off the keeper’s hands and snuck by for the goal.

Natalie Vaught finished up the Sycamore scoring in the 86th minute when Lovelace was able to get behind the defense again. Lovelace’s cross found Vaught’s foot for the final goal in the match.

ISU returns to the pitch Friday, Sept. 19 at 7 p.m. as they face Western Kentucky at Memorial Stadium.

ISU rings Ball State’s bell Ace Hunt ISU Athletic Media Relations The Indiana State football team used an attacking style of play to recover from an early deficit and made a fourth quarter defensive stand as time expired to earn a thrilling 27-20 road victory over Ball State in front of 15,860 fans inside Scheumann Stadium Saturday. The win returns the Blue Key Victory Bell to Terre Haute for the first time since 1987.

Indiana State improved to 2-1 on the season while Ball State fell to 1-2. Each time the two programs have met since 1940, the Blue Key Victory Bell goes to the victory. While today’s meeting was the first since 2003, it proved to be Indiana State’s first victory over the Cardinals since 1987 and its first in Muncie since 1982. Additionally, it marked Indiana State’s first win over a FBS program since a 2011 victory at Western Kentucky and its first over a Mid-American Conference program since a 2001 win at Eastern Michigan.

The Sycamores were led by the courageous play of senior quarterback Mike Perish who went 25-of43 passing for 317 yards and three touchdowns. He made a great majority of his pass completions facing an aggressive pass rush from the Cardinals. For the second consecutive week, Gary Owens was Perish’s top target with seven reception for 107 yards. Kyani Harris caught three passes for 57 yards and the winning 28-yard touchdown with just under four minutes remaining.

A.J. Johnson added one catch for 25 yards — a touchdown and Issac Beverstock made a two-yard touchdown reception.

Defensively, Connor Underwood tallied 12 total tackles, including two and a half for a loss and 1.5 quarterback sacks. He added a fumble recovery and a pass breakup. The Sycamore defense had a pair of quarterback sacks and made six tackles for a loss in the contest.

The two teams finished with exactly 361 yards of total offense but the difference in the game was a late second half turnover — the only one of the game.

The Sycamore special teams — specifically Connor Underwood — recovered a fumble and ISU used the turnover to score with four seconds before the half to regain a 17-14 edge.

The fumble by Ball State just before the half made the Sycamores plus-seven on the year in the turnover department and have now outscored their opponents 41-0 in points off turnovers.

Indiana State scored on their opening drive as the Mike Perish found Gary Owens three times and

moved all the way down to the Ball State 24-yard line.

Eric Heidorn booted a 42-yard field goal at the 11:15 mark of the first quarter for a quick 3-0 lead.

A 61-yard kickoff return from Ball State set the Cardinals up in Sycamore territory on their first drive and Jahwan Edwards scored from one-yard out as BSU surged ahead 7-3 at the 8:46 mark.

Two teams locked horns in a defensive battle as each team punted twice before Ball State went ahead early in the second quarter on a 23-yard touchdown pass from Ozzie Mann to Jordan Houge with 9:31 remaining before the half for a 14-3 advantage.

The Sycamores responded in a big way with four consecutive plays of more than 10 yards, including a 25-yard strike from Perish to AJ Johnson with 7:51 remaining in the second quarter to draw Indiana State to within 14-10.

Indiana State’s defense would bend but not break as Ball State would drive inside the 40-yard line twice late in the quarter, each time resulting in the Sycamores being pinned inside their own five-yard line. Osborn Umeh fumbled the snap with just over one minute on the clock but got away a 47-yard punt.

Also fumbling on the play was Ball State’s Aaron Hepp, whose miscue was recovered by Connor Underwood and suddenly the Sycamores found themselves in Ball State territory.

Quickly, the Sycamores faced fourth down, but Buck Logan raced around right end for 14 yards to keep the drive alive. Perish then found Sampson Levingston for 14 yards to move the ball inside the 30-yard line and the Sycamores called a timeout with 13 seconds left. A pass attempt from Perish to Gary Owens was incomplete, but Ball State was flagged for pass interference, which gave the ball to the Sycamores at the two-yard line. From there, Perish found Issac Beverstock for a two-yard play-action touchdown pass and after the extra point from Heidorn, the Sycamores owned a 17-14 lead at the half.

After the half, the Indiana State defense forced a three-and-out. Ball State’s Kyle Schmidt was able to muster a 28-yard punt and the Sycamores took over at the BSU 43-yard line. Facing third down, Perish found Levingston for a key 25-yard catch which moved the ball down to the 15-yard line. That would be as far the Sycamores would get on the drive and Heidorn came in to boot a 38-yard field goal with 10:57 remaining in the third quarter to extend the lead out to 20-14.

Ball State drove deep into Sycamore territory twice late in third quarter, but came with just a 40-yard and 25-yard field goal as the team’s entered the fourth Football Continued on PAGE 10
