The Student Government Association and the American Democracy Project surpassed its goal this week in the number of students that participated in voter registrations and address changes. The goal of 100 to 200 students was quickly overshadowed by the estimated number of over 500 students who visited one of the voter registration booths on Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
“The volunteers and the students that were interested in voting exceeded our expectations,” Carly Schmitt, instructor of political science and coordinator of the American Democracy Project, said. “Our goal was to get students involved in the political process by reducing that burden of having to register.”

The Indiana Statesman is published Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, except during exam periods and university breaks, and is published three times during the summer. The Indiana Statesman was founded May 16, 1929, the same year that Indiana State Normal School became Indiana State Teachers College. The newspaper began in December 1879 as the State Normal News. In November 1895, the paper was first issued as the Normal Advance. Members of the ISU community are welcome to take a single copy of each issue of this newspaper. The unauthorized taking of multiple copies, however, may constitute theft, which is a crime, even with free publications. Thefts will be reported to campus police for possible prosecution and/or for other disciplinary actions. The Indiana Statesman exists for four main reasons: to provide the ISU community with news and information, to serve the campus as a public forum for student and reader comments, to offer student staff members chances to apply their skills in different aspects of a news publication, and to give students leadership opportunities.

ISU is making more room for experiential learning in all colleges on campus. “Experiential learning is really learning by doing, it means applying all the knowledge from class to the real world,” John Murray, dean of arts and sciences, said. President Daniel J. Bradley said the goal is to maintain 100 percent of degree programs to require experiential learning. The main emphasis is to grow the study abroad programs and to increase participation in internships and hands-on learning. “I think that you don’t learn until you do it and know how to do things. Jobs are important. There is a difference from learning things in a class and actually doing it,” Bradley said. Bradley said making sure all colleges have 100 percent involvement with hands on learning is hard to measure. ISU is taking proper steps to ensure that all degrees have experiential learning. “There is a group getting together in November to figure out how all this will be measured. It is not
easy but we will come up with ideas and a better understanding of what is needed,” Bradley said. Many colleges across ISU already have strong experiential learning programs in place. The Scott College of Business is home to Sycamore Advisors -Capstone 401 class which gives students hands-on experience that cannot be taught “I believe we have 100 percent of COB programs offering the opportunity for experiential learning, it is up to the student to find those opportunities,” Brien Smith, dean of scott college of business, said. “Our students have the opportunity to bring all that they have learned in their business classes to Sycamore Advisors and to consult in case studies.” The Scott College of Business is not the only one enforcing experiential learning, The College of Arts and Sciences also offers multiple ways to apply their knowledge from classes to the real world. “We do have the biggest challenge but we have internship programs integrated in most our majors, many classes lend themselves to it,” Murray said.
ISU students also think that experiential learning is important to their studies. Sophomore anthropology Karma Eberhardt said some students learn better by doing stuff hands on than from a book. Megan Putnam, a junior language studies major said it is unavoidable for students. It is how it is in the real world. “You don’t get a study guide for a job,” Putnam said. “You got to learn from actually doing it.”

Brief Public Safety seeks information on probable kidnapping A possible kidnapping at the Juvenile Justice Center parking lot was reported to University Police Tuesday at approximately 10 a.m. Bill Mercier, chief of police, said video cameras around the Juvenile Justice Center videotaped a woman running from University Apartments parking lot to the Juvenile Justice Center across Crawford Street. The woman attempted to open the doors of the Juvenile Justice Center but was unable to enter the building. The van entered the parking lot, and a white male ran after the woman. The vehicle was described as a silver or grey mini-van with a roof rack. He then
grabbed her arm and forced her into the van. Both individuals were described as possibly being Middle Eastern descent. The woman was wearing a red top and possibly a blue hoodie. The man was described as possibly a white male and was wearing an oversized white t-shirt and jeans. The van was last seen northbound on Route 41 from Crawford Street. Anyone with information about the incident is advised to contact either ISU Public Safety or the Terre Haute Police Department.

Five hundred students register to vote during drive
A voting area at the Hulman Memorial Student Union (Photo by Jamie Nichols).
Voter registration booths were set up around campus at the Cunningham Memorial Library, the Student Recreation Center, and the Hulman Memorial Student Union in the morning towards the afternoon. “Most of our numbers come from the library, and that has been in part because the staff there has helped motivate our student registrars,” Schmitt said. “The energy of the staff was so high that it made more students want to register.” Reasons for registering to vote or change an address for greater voting accessibility varied among students. Understanding the importance of voting, however, was a great influence. “I was unregistered to vote,” Kendale Abel, a criminology and sociology major said. “I want more people to vote not only for president, but for other branches too. I care about the youth and everyone getting fair education.” Volunteers for the registration drive helped promote civic responsibility by engaging students in understanding the importance of voting. “Seeing students get more involved has gotten students more civically engaged,” Watkins said. “Students are starting to
understand that we do have a voice, and if we have big numbers, we can really impact what happens this year.” Registering to vote is the first step in participating in the upcoming elections. Knowing the specific voting laws for though, however, is a necessary action before attempting to vote. Individuals will receive a voter registration card in the mail approximately a week later. The voter registration card will have the individual’s full name and the polling place, the location where the student must vote. Indiana law requires voters to bring a photo ID, as well as a voter registration card. The ID must display the individual’s photo, his name, an expiration date, and be issued by the state of Indiana or the US government. “I’m proud of the ISU campus for showing up to the registration drive,” Watkins said. “It shows they understand how big of a civic responsibility it is and realize that it’s an important part of a democracy.”
Voter ID Laws in Indiana
Specific forms of ID are not listed in statute. ID must be issued by the state of Indiana or the United States government and must show the following: • Name of individual to whom it was issued, which must conform to the individual’s registration record • Photo of the person to whom it was issued • Expiration date (if it is expired, it must have an expiration date after the most recent general election; military IDs are exempted from the requirement that ID bears an expirartion date) • Must be issued by the U.S. or the state of Indiana

Rex Kendall named alumni director Dave Taylor ISU Communications and Marketing Indiana State University staff member Rex Kendall is taking over the post of Alumni Association director for the ISU Foundation. Kendall, who holds two degrees from Indiana State and is pursuing a third, has worked in the university's Residential Life Office for the past 12 years. He will begin his new duties on Monday (Oct. 1). "Rex has a true understanding of what it means to be a Sycamore. His love for and connection to his alma mater are evident and truly impressed the selection committee," said Ron Carpenter, president of the ISU Foundation. Kendall has been director of residential life at Indiana State since 2010. He previously served as associate director for 10 years and as an area director of residential life for three years earlier in his career. He has also worked at residential life offices at
Western Kentucky University and the University of Nebraska at Kearney. "Indiana State University has played a significant role in my personal development and professional success," Kendall said. "I am pleased and humbled to be selected to serve as director of alumni affairs. I look forward to working with the alumni staff, ISU Foundation, Alumni Affairs Board and the university community as we collaboratively engage our alumni and advance Indiana State's mission." At Indiana State, Kendall has been instrumental in advancing university initiatives such as The Pathway to Success strategic plan and the 50th celebration of the Sycamore Tricycle Derby, scheduled for Oct. 5. He has also served on a variety of campus committees, including the Faculty Senate and the Campus Homecoming Committee, developing connections
with not only students, but also faculty, staff, alumni and the Terre Haute community. "His experience will bring an enhanced vision and a wealth of existing alumni relationships to further the strategic direction to our alumni programming efforts," Carpenter said. "I am looking forward to Rex's leadership in advancing the Alumni Association's mission and engaging others in the life of Indiana State. We are thrilled to have Rex on board prior to homecoming-he will truly be a great addition to the alumni team." Kendall holds a bachelor's degree in political science and a master's in student personnel work from Indiana State. He is scheduled to complete a Ph.D. in curriculum and instruction in the Bayh College of Education at the end of the current academic year.

Students hear Court of Appeals case
Brianne Hofmann Reporter On Wednesday morning, an Indiana family brought their case before the Indiana Court of Appeals as ISU students and faculty watched. The original trial case involved a 4-year-old girl, K.L., who was removed from her mother’s home early on due to behavioral issues. Tippecanoe County Department of Child Services (DCS) placed K.L. in the care of her father’s sister and brother-in-law, Ann and Glen Black. In March 2010, however, DCS removed the girl from their residence without warning or a court order, citing a 20-year-old child abuse complaint against Glen Black. K.L.’s family sued DCS, but the trial court dismissed seven of the lawsuit’s eight counts, asserting that DCS had “quasi-judicial immunity.” In addition, the trial court ruled that the family, excluding the girl’s father, “lacked standing to sue” in the first place.
Unlike a trial court, which is primarily concerned with innocence or guilt, attorneys Mike Wilkins and Justin Roebel were focused on the application of civil law, Bob VanSickel, professor of legal studies and political science said, prior to the hearing. Once Wilkins and Roebel concluded their arguments, they, along with Chief Judge Margret Robb and judges Cole Bradford and Rudolph Pyle, held a question and answer session with the audience. Inquiries couldn’t relate to the case itself, but participants elaborated on their individual histories, the judicial process and the preparations required for an appeal hearing. Junior Will Moore was among the many political science majors in attendance said that any student, regardless of concentration, could benefit from going to see the appellate court.
“A lot of students think there’s only trial court,” he said, adding that the misconception often comes from the television and film industry. VanSickel agreed, stressing that the opportunity to witness an appeal court hearing is “hugely important” because it gives students a more realistic idea of how the judicial system operates. ISU was the 17th site in the 2012 Court of Appeals of Indiana’s Traveling Arguments tour. According to their website, oral arguments are normally held in the Indiana Statehouse, but are occasionally brought to educational institutions across the state to “enable Hoosiers to learn about the judicial branch.” The annual visit from the court drew a large crowd of students, but VanSickel thought the turnout could improve next year. “I really wish more students would come,” he said.

Oh, Apple, you’ve done it again! Apple consumers, this article is not for the faint of heart. If somebody told you it was a happy little fairy tale, that it was just your average article with not a care in the world, somebody Jon lied. This article is an Stephens article which analyzes what companies do Think with their products About and how you, the consumer, are being It led like sheep to the slaughter. Mac people are considered foolish and naïve as compared to those who use Microsoft. It’s like the age-old question has been revamped for the 21st century: Pepsi or Coke? And now it’s not just Microsoft in on the question, Samsung has stepped up too. Samsung and Microsoft have combined their efforts and have created the Windows phone. Apple even accused Samsung of copyright infringement. And now, after all the jealous court hearings are finished, Apple releases the iPhone 5. We know why they released it. It’s economic in principle and practice. “Ooo a shiny new iPhone, let me throw
out my iPhone 4s I bought two months ago and get this one!” Real people do that. All the new iPhone has going for it is that the screen is bigger. I will admit I do want one, but then I think of the advancements it has and stop. The maps are messed up on iO6, which the iPhone 5 runs on. I would rather know where I’m going instead of looking at a map reminiscent of the dream world in Inception. Not all Apple products are bad, and this one isn’t bad either. Bad is state of being and inanimate objects don’t have character. So the question we must ask is this: why buy it? And that question goes even deeper into another meaning: why are we buying things that we don’t need in order to impress people we don’t care about? That’s all the iPhone 5 really is for. People use it to impress their friends, family, co-workers and bosses. It’s a tool used to manipulate others into liking you. For the male readers: a girl won’t be impressed because your
phone is a huge touch screen, she would rather get to know who you actually are. For the female readers: now that your new iPhone is “thinner, lighter, and faster” than your previous one, you may become even more of a social media junkie than you already are, in turn ignoring the guy who is trying to talk to you face to face with real speech. If people, including myself, were less worried about the newest updates and rather on the world around them, things might actually get done. People say that this generation cares the least about anything. That’s not true. We care about ourselves and our products. So let’s put down the phone, pick up the trash and try to clean up the world around us because soon enough we will be running it.
“If people, including myself, were less worried about the newest [iPhone] updates and rather on the world around them, things might actually get done.”

Sloan Jones Reporter For authentic vintage t-shirts with a cowboy twist, look no further then thrift store Cowboy Vintage in downtown Terre Haute. Patrick and Mary Feild established Cowboy Vintage ten years ago, and since have been running it as an online business. According to their website, the business began through a “dating activity” in which they shopped for vintage clothing together, ultimately leading to too much product to keep. They began selling it on eBay, and the selling became successful enough to start a business. The name of the business comes one of the Feild’s favorite 1989 films called “Drugstore Cowboy” starting Matt Dillion. Although at one time the store was available to the public, it is now run through an office and is visited by appointment only. The online store is always accessible. The store carries vintage clothing items such as old concert t-shirts, westerns, sports jerseys, jackets, ladies blouses and dresses. The Feild’s first became interested in selling vintage clothing by using the popular site E-bay, but Patrick Feild says he has always had an interest in old things. “Clothing is easier to come by, but I’ve always been a fan of old things, old movies … I’ve always had a taste for it,” Patrick Feild said. The couple likes to find pieces that are from the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s and e ‘90s, but their favorite decades for clothing are the ‘60s and the ‘70s, “or
anything polyester,” Patrick Feild said. Finding vintage band t-shirts have become a specialty item for Cowboy Vintage. “Our favorite things to find are original concert t-shirts, which can be pretty difficult to find. But when we do, it’s a real treat,” Patrick Feild said. Feild explains that many t-shirt factories have issued t-shirts that are made to look vintage, but a real vintage item is much more valuable. He suggests that when buying an authentic band t-shirt, look at the manufacturer, print and the seams; all of these factors can determine the age and the value of the shirt. As a thrift store, nearly each item has been previously worn unless otherwise stated. The Feild’s ensure that they are washed and inspected prior to sale, and that minor wear and tear is natural. Each product is sized according to the actual dimensions of the item because of the inconsistent sizing throughout the decades. Students receive a 15 percent discount on all purchases. Although they do not have an open storefront, their office is located at 7 South 6th Street, suit 208.

Paranormal Activity 4 to be released in theaters
Thomas Beeler Reporter The next installment of the Paranormal Activity series is right around the corner, hitting silver screens Oct. 19. Based on recent trailers, fans can expect the same formula as the first and second films. The story continues five years after Paranormal Activity one and two. This film takes place in 2011. This one centers on a young teenager named Alex, played by Kathryn Newton, her mother, boyfriend and little brother, Wyatt. Alex’s family moved into the house across the street from Katie. Katie killed her boyfriend Micah in the first film and her sister and sister’s husband in the second after being possessed by a supernatural force that has followed Katie and her sister their entire lives. With Katie is her nephew, Hunter, now called Robbie. Katie took him away in the mysterious ending of the second movie. Alex and her boyfriend began filming Robbie creepily standing outside of her house at night. Soon after Katie is rushed to hospital and Robbie moves into Alex’s home and befriends Wyatt. This is where the supernatural activity begins. Directors Henry Joost and Ariel Schulman follow the same structure of the first three films. Starting with little happenings here and there and slowly become more frequent and noticeable. In all three movies one aspect take stays in true, which is the unintended detection system each family seems to have. In the first and third movie the family used video cameras to see the invisible entity. In the second the family dog and their baby was used as an alert to make the audience aware of the supernatural force presents. The fourth utilizes iPhones, web-cams, Skype and Xbox Kinects to try to reveal the ghostly entity. This film also follows the same trend as the first two films. The third created more questions that fans wanted answers to and extended the mythology of the series unlike the others. The other two kept the traditional horror movie tactics with unsettling
movements of objects around the house. Freshman and undecided major Michael Peavy said that even though the movie will follow the same plot as the previous films, he still plans on going to see it. “I think it’s still going to be exciting,” he said. “It might have the same moral at the end, but it’s the entertainment that is going to catch everybody.” Peavy also said that since he didn’t believe in any type of paranormal activity, the film’s freight was diminished. “It wasn’t scary to me, because I don’t really believe in that stuff,” he said. “Either way, it’s still good for entertaining.” According to eoline.com, the series seems to holding strong with the third movie making $26.2 million its opening night and $56 million opening weekend in 2011. Much like other forms of entrainment the fourth is predicted to make Joost and Schulman enough for a fifth movie.

Local spotlight: Judson Hill
Joseph Paul Reporter Judson Hill has utilized a short number of months to write, practice and record as they prepare for their debut show and the release of their first album. The band has four members: bassist Steven Lee, lead singer Alexa McFadden, a junior nursing major, guitarist Marc Rogers, a senior marketing major and drummer John Rogers, a freshman information technology major. Although the band hasn’t been around long, they have performed and recorded with each other several times as back-up for various country artists. After they split off and began what was originally a studio project Marc Roger’s home studio, Judson Hill now plans to tour and get their name out starting with their first show on Saturday at Show-Me’s. In addition, they have already released a single titled “One Summer Night” to many major online music distributors like iTunes and Amazon. The song is part of their upcoming fulllength album expected to release in November. After receiving good feedback from their single, which was released about two months ago, the band has patiently anticipated their upcoming show at Show-Me’s, practicing three to four hours a time and more frequently as this Saturday approaches. They expect to have a better turnout than other performances planned for this year. “It will be like our first impression for Terre Haute,” McFadden said. The band will continue to play about once a month at Show-Me’s under an agreement with the owners of the bar and restaurant. However, finding other places to play in town can be tough because most bars and venues aren’t geared toward the band’s style of music, which is a mixture of country and pop, reminiscent of Lady Antebellum and Keith Urban. “Most of the time we have to venture out a little bit,” said Lee. They plan to perform throughout the Wabash Valley in towns like Rosedale, Rockville and Clinton, and throughout the state in Evansville and Indianapolis, where there is a bigger following for their genre. Finding time to practice, record and potentially drive to gigs around classes has been difficult for the band. But their love for music is why they wouldn’t want to be doing anything else.
“It’s fun. If you have the talent and the time to do something like this, then why not?” McFadden said. “This is the time to do it.” While each member of the band draws from different influences, there are some similarities in their interests. John Rogers, Marc’s little brother, said one of his biggest influences on drums is Ringo Starr, while Lee said he’s inspired by Paul McCartney; both are the last two living members of the Beatles. John Roger’s real passion for music came when he switched from bass to drums about two and a half years ago. “I really enjoy hitting things,” he said, laughing. “Really, it’s just kind of in my blood, I guess. Everybody in my family is a musician.” Marc Rogers has played guitar for 11 years and operates a home studio that he’s used to record Judson Hill, along with several other groups. He said some of his biggest influences are those on the production side of music like Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys. In the future, Rogers hopes to become a Nashville recording artist like his father. “This is what I want to do for a career,” he said. “I want to move to Nashville … but this band is a priority, too.” McFadden’s musical role models include singers like Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift. Although McFadden began singing in 6th grade, she only just got serious about writing lyrics and performing when she joined the band in July. Since then, hours in practice and recording have been a learning experience for the lead singer. “We really started buckling down on [writing] and recording and everything,” she said. “We have had some late nights in the studio.” These late nights have been spent perfecting the band’s upcoming album in order to have a quality product for fans, publishers and, of course, record labels. “We have the big-time in our mind,” Marc Rogers said. “But we have also have the smaller step that leads up to that.” Judson Hill first of the monthly shows at Show-Me’s will be on Saturday at 9 p.m.

Student travels to Auschwitz with Eva Kor Sarina Bayer ISU Communications and Marketing When she arrived at Auschwitz in Poland, Rebekah Dickey, a senior English education major at Indiana State University, from Paris, Ill., thought that it wouldn’t get to her. But even 65 years after Soviet troops liberated the Nazi death camp, Dickey said, “You can literally still smell death.” At the tracks just outside the gates at Auschwitz Birkenau, Dickey saw hundreds of cardboard cards as family memorials placed around the tracks. At that moment, the trip to Auschwitz moved from history books to personal experience for Dickey. “Now when you talk about the Holocaust it’s different because I have been there, said Dickey. “It feels that everything I did while I was there got imprinted on my mind. Even as I look at the pictures I can remember what it smelt like, what it sounded like, what was going on at the time that I took the picture and I hope that it is always that clear.” Dickey traveled to Auschwitz in July as part of a tour group with CANDLES Museum and Auschwitz survivor Eva Kor. While studying at ISU, Dickey attended a Holocaust study class taught by Ann Rider, associate professor of German and woman studies. Rider urged Dickey for years to study overseas and to experience the history and culture of Poland and the Holocaust first hand. “Her message made a personal impact and when I went there it made me more worldly aware. I didn’t expect it to be that different from the U.S,” Dickey said about her trip to Auschwitz. Dickey received the Eva Mozes Kor Scholarship to help pay the trip’s cost because of Dickey’s dedication to Holocaust study, and because of the strength of her project, according to Rider. The scholarship supports students who are doing Holocaust-related research and require travel. “We were especially pleased to award the scholarship to a student traveling with Eva Kor and the CANDLES Holocaust Museum to Auschwitz,” said Rider. Dickey admires Kor, who survived the Auschwitz Nazi death camp where millions were murdered and where Kor had endured medical experiments along with her twin sister. Now, Kor regularly returns to Auschwitz, to tell others her story and to explain how she forgave her captors. “Forgiveness is an act of self-healing by healing the wound of the past; self-liberating, by stopping to feel as a victim I am no longer limited by my painful and demeaning experiences, and I can try to strive for new, and enriching endeavor’s; and selfempowering, by realizing that I have the power over my life, and my happiness. I believe that anger is a seed for war, and forgiveness is a seed for peace,” Kor said. Dickey, too, felt the power of forgiving others. Throughout school she felt unpopular and would rather curl up and read a book than go out and play at recess. She found it difficult to fit in with her classmates. After her eighth grade literature teacher brought her class to CANDLES, Dickey listened to Kor’s story and it began her interest in the
Holocaust. “When I first heard Eva speak it really helped me because a big part of her message is forgiveness, not for the people that did the crime but for you. Because if you forgive the person that hurt you, you’re no longer the victim anymore because you’re the one that has the power to give your forgiveness,” Dickey said. This experience of going out of the country for the first time, made a personal impact on Dickey while she had the chance to be amongst the culture, food and people in Poland. “This was a once in a lifetime experience, that nothing will equal as far as Holocaust studies”, Dickey said.

Craig Padgett Reporter The Indiana State men’s and women’s cross country team will be heading to South Bend, Ind. for the 57th annual Adidas Notre Dame Cross Country Invitational. Races begin at 2:30 p.m. They will be competing against 11 universities ranked in the top 30 in the nation. The meet will mark the unofficial beginning to the Sycamore’s drive for the NCAA division I national cross country championship this November. Women’s The Sycamores will be near the top of the
competition of the varsity “Gold” race and will be looking to put their mark on the field. “We were 4th a year ago in the Gold race at Notre Dame, and it seems that the race may be down in both quantity and quality compared to past years,” said head women’s cross country coach John Gartland. Gartland said the team’s main competition will be coming from Eastern Michigan of the Mid-America Conference, Calvin College who is ranked 8th in the NCAA division III national lists.
TCU sitting 7th in the South Central Regional and Texas Arlington who is 15th also in the South Central Regional will be in the competition. “I just hope we can improve on our 4th place finish from a year ago and shoot for the top two,” Gartland said. The Sycamores will be led by the front four, junior Jessica Zangmeister, sophomore Nicole Lucas, junior Kalli Dalton and senior Hanna Mercer. They will look to senior Leeann Michl to help add some depth to the team.

Continued from Page 12 Also, returning and ready to run is senior Kylee Thacker. “We will be getting Thacker back after some sickness and we will have Leeann Michl, 800 meter national preliminary qualifier, again for us,” Gartland said. “The front four has been running very well as of late in both meets and practices so I have very high hopes for us.” Gartland said that, this meet is one that could be very winnable for ISU. They have great front running, as well as tight pack that should really carry this team. If the team can a emerge victorious on Friday, it should be a great spring board to more great things as the season progresses toward the MVC championships and the NCAA Regional. “Notre Dame is a great pre-conference meet for the team,” Zangmeister said. “We will be in the Gold division again this year which we were 4th in last year. I think that we could compete very well in the Blue division but we will still have to fight for a top 3 spot in the Gold division, which I think should be our goal as a team.” Men’s “This race is a very important part of our season,” said senior Albaro Escalera. “It will help us gather points towards qualifying for nationals by beating some quality teams. It will also be our first really competitive meet of the season and will set the tone for the remainder of our racing.” ISU will be a part of the nation’s best this weekend, which
can be both a good and a bad thing. “We have plenty of targets to shoot for,” Head men’s cross country coach John McNichols. “Our first goal will be to beat as many great lakes region teams as possible, and then when will set our sights on the nationally ranked teams. In a meet like this top 15 would be good, but top 10 would be extraordinary.” The Sycamores will be looking to Escalera and fellow senior Dustin Betz, as well as freshman John Mascari to lead them in this race. “Our top three are running really well right now, and everyone saw that at the Indiana Intercollegiate,” McNichols said. It is necessary that the Sycamores have a full team effort to beat the ranked opponents to gain points toward nationals. Strong races will be needed by the 4-5-6 runners to ensure success, look for freshman Taylor Head, sophomore Tristan Selby, freshman Gabe Ocasio, sophomore Milton Brinza and senior Corey Hahn to fill those spots. “Our next three runners were not quite up to par due to illness, but that is past us and they look good,” McNichols said. “Now we’re healthy, the team looks good from the first man to the eighth man.” If they are to go out and make the top 10 in this meet they will be on the right track for big things when they head to

Madison, Wis. for the NCAA Regional meet in November. “I think this is a great opportunity to prove what kind of team we really are,” McNichols said. This meet will certainly set the tone for the Sycamores as some of the older runners know the consequences of not running well at Notre Dame, and what they can lead to down the road. “In 2009 when we were 4th most years that would be enough to get out of the Great Lake Regional, but instead we provided as a stopper to teams behind us,” McNichols said. If Indiana State can run well this weekend they will set themselves up to avoid that fate yet again.

Sycamores are visiting the dog pound Friday night

Jared McCormick Reporter The Sycamores are looking toward their contest this weekend against the Salukis of Southern Illinois University. Kickoff is scheduled for Saturday 7:05 p.m. The game will be nationally televised on ESPN 3. The Sycamores hoping to break the current nine-game winning streak that the Salukis have over them. The series record is also held by the Salukis. They are ahead 26 wins to Indiana State’s 23. The records for both teams are 2–2 but the Salukis are 1–0 in the Missouri Valley Football Conference, upon a defeat of Missouri State, while the Sycamores are 0 – 1 in conference play, from the loss to South Dakota State University. The Sycamores will look to even out their record in The Valley with a win against the Salukis. The Salukis will not bow down in this game. Their home streak against the Sycamores stands at 15 wins and nine losses. The Salukis will look towards their quarterback Kory Faulkner to lead their team. He is currently ranked third in
conference passing averaging 231.8 passing yards per game and total offense with an average of 232.5 yards per game. Faulkner’s numbers also have him ranked 11th nationally. Other notable offensive weapons of the Salukis come from their rushing attack. Mika’il McCall is their leading rusher and is ranked sixth in the conference with 72.8 rushing yards per game and eighth in the conference in all-purpose yards 103.0 yards per game. The Sycamores are going to look to establish the ground game early. The last running back to record over 100 rushing yards , in the past nine meetings between the two teams was the Sycamores’ own Shakir Bell who did it last season, 137 rushing yards, in a loss to the Salukis. The Sycamores will also need to protect their quarterback because the Salukis Jayson DiManche is leading the conference with 6.0 tackles for this season and he is ranked seventh nationally with 4.0 sacks leading into this game.
The Sycamores will try to establish the run game early because they count on Bell for about 42.5 percent of their offense. The Sycamore’s defense will also try to be heard this weekend because they are only allowing 14.0 points on average per game. ISU senior linebackers Aaron Archie, 49 tackles, and Jacolby Washington, 47 tackles will look to continue their outstanding numbers that they have accrued in this early season. Archie’s 11.75 tackles per game have him leading the MVFC and he is tied for seventh nationally. The Sycamores want to turn their current streak against the Salukis into a win this weekend. The current nine game winning streak that the Salukis hold came off of a nine game win streak that was held by the Sycamores. After the contest on Saturday, fans will see if history is to repeat itself with a flip in momentum, or if the Salukis can continue to dismiss the Sycamores.
