Balloons were released by members of the Greek community to commemerate the birthday of Emily Herzog, who died in a motor vehicle accident on May 13.
Balloons fly high for Alpha Phi sister Kristi Sanders News Editor
Balloons flew through the air as Indiana State University students joined together to celebrate the 20th birthday of Emily Herzog. Greek life came out to support Alpha Phi sisters, friends and family of Herzog by having a small ceremony in her honor. Herzog was killed on May 13 when a speeding semitractor-trailer failed to negotiate a curve, turning over onto her Mustang. Mandi Warpenburg, an adviser for Alpha Phi, attended the balloon release ceremony. “We wanted to bring Greek life together to help celebrate her birthday,”
Warpenburg said. “The balloon release is for the public to celebrate her life and there is a graveside ceremony afterward for her close friends and family.” Three friends came together to sing a few songs for Herzog such as “Over You” by Miranda Lambert, “Fishin’ in the Dark” by Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and “Who You’d be Today” by Kenny Chesney. After the songs, friends and family gave speeches about who Herzog was and how much she impacted the people in her short life.One of these people was her Alpha Phi big Marci Nodal, a junior human development and family studies major. “Herzog was always happy and loved life,” Nodal said. “This is a memorial for (Herzog) and all of us coming together is what she would’ve wanted.”
Gamma Phi Beta, another sorority at ISU, had a release last year in memorial of a passing member and had many members of Greek life help support them in their time of grief. “(Herzog) went and thought it was a beautiful way to honor their sister,” Warpenburg said. “We wanted to do the same for her.” Kelsey Clayton, a junior textile and apparel merchandizing major and part of Gamma Phi Beta, went to the ceremony with other members of her sorority. “This brings everyone together and shows our support,” Clayton said. “Even though I didn’t know (Herzog), I came to support the sisters of her like they did for us. (The balloon release) helps give closure (to the family). Even though she is gone, she will be remembered.”
Allison Herzog, Emily’s mother, is a senior ISU student majoring in human development and family studies. She spoke along with her husband about their daughter. “Tomorrow is not guaranteed,” Allison Herzog said. “One day, someday, we will see her again.” Nodal stepped back up to lead the crowd in the birthday chorus for Herzog. “She was the best little I could’ve asked for,” Nodal said. “Happy birthday Emily.” Once they finished singing, Nodal counted down to release the blue and purple balloons, two of Herzog’s favorite colors. Herzog’s favorite song, “See You Again” by Wiz Khalifa, played while the crowd watched the blue and purple balloons float off into the sky.
ISU to pur- State tackles Butler in season opener chase new air 52-17 conditioning equipment Rob Lafary Sports Editor
Kristi Sanders News Editor
The Indiana State University Board of Trustees approved a new chiller for campus. The Satellite Chilled Water Plant, in conjunction with the Central Chilled Water Plant, provides cooling support to various campus buildings through the campus chilled water loop. Diann McKee, the vice president of business affairs, explained why we need this new chiller. “(The) addition of air conditioning (is for the) Sycamore Towers over the next three-to four-year period,” McKee said. The renovation of Sycamore Towers, including the installation of air conditioning, requires additional cooling capacity to provide the cool air in these newly renovated dorm rooms. A 2,500-ton chiller is needed to meet the projected cooling load. The agenda for the Aug. 27 meeting explained why the school needs this new chiller: “The estimated cost to purchase and install the chiller, cooling towers and other related mechanical and electrical equipment is not to exceed $3,100,000.” It also stated that where funds for this expenditure would come from, “Residence Hall and university facility reserve funds will be used to cover the cost of the project.” McKee said the chiller will be purchased later this year. This new chiller should be up and running by spring or summer 2016, McKee said.
By no means was it a picture-perfect day for college football — scorching temperatures and frequent lightning delays made sure of that — but Indiana State football made the day bearable, showcasing its potential in a 52-17 bashing of Butler in the 2015 season opener at Memorial Stadium. The Sycamores racked up 496 yards of total offense in the game en route to scoring over 50 points for the first time since Sept. 14, 2013, while the defense held Butler to under 300 yards and was credited with a pair of interceptions. It was the first win for ISU in a season opener since a 57-7 win over St. Joseph’s on Sept. 4, 2010. “Great win,” ISU head coach Mike Sanford said following the game. “We’re pretty excited to open up the season with a win, especially at home. It was a weird game. I’ve been coaching a long time and I’ve never had a game like today where we didn’t even have a halftime. Our team handled the distractions well.” The distractions that Sanford spoke of involved the already-mentioned weather delays but by the time lightning hit late in the second quarter, the Sycamores already had things wrapped up in a game that was never close. Indiana State (1-0) led 3-0 after a 24yard field goal by Eric Heidorn with 10:47 to go in the first quarter then heated up soon after to the tune of three touchdowns in the final eight minutes of the quarter. LeMonte Booker scored on back-to-back drives, punching one in from two yards out before receiving

a 24-yard pass from quarterback Matt Adam for a score. Adam, who received the starting nod under center just 30 minutes prior to game time, then closed out the quarter with a 37-yard sprint to the end zone and the Sycamores led 240.
Butler (0-1) opened the second quarter with a touchdown, cutting the deficit to 24-7 but Booker answered back for ISU and the running back ventured for his third score on a 76 yard run to

“Revenge porn” is on the rise due to the prevalence of Snapchat and other photo-sharing or social media apps. Sexting, or sending intimate pictures and messages, has become a norm in today’s relationships.
‘Sexting’ and ‘revenge porn’ made more prevalent due to electronic media Morgan Gallas Reporter
Student Conduct and Integrity finds that students who are victims of revenge porn cases are not likely to report what has happened. “Revenge porn,” or the sharing of private or intimate pictures to cause one harm, is increasingly more of a problem for young people as technology becomes more accessible. “(The office of Student Conduct and Integrity) has very little information on revenge porn,” said Craig Enyeart, the director of Student Conduct and Integrity. “We know that it occurs; we just don’t have a lot of raw data because people don’t often come to us.” Because sexting has become a relationship norm, revenge porn is easier to do. When revenge porn happens, students are not likely to report it because of the feelings behind it. “They feel ashamed or embarrassed, so they would rather the problem just go away on its own or over time than come to us for help,” Enyeart said. “Often times, it’s contingent on ‘don’t say anything
A&M band member receives 4-year sentence in hazing death Elyssa Cherney
Orlando Sentinel (TNS)
ORLANDO, Fla. — A Florida A&M University band member who played a role in the hazing death of a fellow student in 2011 was sentenced Friday to four years in prison. Caleb Jackson pleaded no contest to manslaughter and felony hazing in 2013 for his role in the death of drum major Robert Champion in Orlando. Jackson faced as much as 35 years in prison. Fifteen former FAMU band members were charged in Champion’s death. Dante Martin, the accused ringleader, received the harshest sentence of 6 years in prison. Most were sentenced to combinations of community service and probation, including three men convicted of manslaughter and felony hazing in a June trial. Jessie Baskin, another former FAMU band member, was sentenced to nearly a year in jail. The state is appealing that sentence. Baskin has since been released from jail. © 2015 The Orlando Sentinel.

to anyone or I will pass (the photographs) out.’” That fear of distribution causes students to feel that they cannot tell anyone that there is a problem. Students are cautioned that once information is first passed out, what happens to it is out of their control. “People use Snapchat and many other media outlets for different reasons, but they don’t always realize that once you send anything to someone, it really is in (that person’s) control,” Enyeart said. “Indiana doesn’t have a law against sexting or even revenge porn. They don’t even have an unlawful recording statute in the criminal code.” Indiana State University has a policy that protects students, faculty and staff from unlawful recording. “One of the things that the university did to help was when we reviewed our Student Code of Conduct, we put a policy into effect that if there is nonconsensual recording when there is an expectation of privacy, the person who recorded is subject to disciplinary action,” Enyeart said. If a student is the victim of revenge porn, they have the option to report it.
“We look at the circumstances around (the case) because no two situations are the same,” Enyeart said. “We obtain a police report and review it for possible policy violations within the university’s code.” Enyeart said if the problem occurs in an established relationship that has gone into a sexual violence or sexual misconduct area, then the Title IX coordinator will investigate the case and go through the process from there. “If (the case) is a standard conduct problem, Student Conduct and Integrity will review it and find any possible violations within it and talk to everyone involved to get to a resolution,” Enyeart said. “There isn’t a cookie-cutter answer to what happens because each case is so different.” If a student is found at fault for publishing revenge porn, the consequences can range from a discussion to a warning all the way to a suspension to a separation from the university. Revenge porn is perpetuated because culture allows and accepts it. “Culture promotes (revenge porn) because it’s what you see in the movies, you see it in the news, and ev-
eryone uses social media which is a big platform for it,” Enyeart said. “In the past, (giving out sexual photos of oneself) just wasn’t possible because you’d have to take a picture, go somewhere and get it printed, then hand it to the person. That is what sexting used to be. Now, we use the phrase ‘electronic courage.’ It frees people up to do things that they usually wouldn’t do like sexting.” Student Conduct and Integrity advises students to contact the police if they are victims of revenge porn or sexual misconduct. “Our number one advice is always go to the police,” Enyeart said. “If students feel like the images or information is being used to elicit further sex acts or misconduct, then the police need to be involved.” If your intimate partner uses an ultimatum — such as distributing sexual images — as a way to keep you in the relationship, please use one of ISU’s many resources to get help. Contact the police, Student Conduct and Integrity, the Student Counseling Center, the victim advocate (Aimee Janssen-Robinson) or a trusted teacher.
Not enough evidence to charge former student in rape case Gabrielle Russon
Orlando Sentinel (TNS)
ORLANDO, Fla. — A former University of Central Florida student will not be charged with a crime after he was accused of raping a student he met at a Sigma Nu fraternity party. The same man was videotaped months later chanting, “Let’s rape some b ... “ at the Sigma Nu house, a video of which went viral. The state attorney’s office said Tuesday that there is insufficient evidence to make a sexual-assault case against the man and that alcohol-clouded memories and made it impossible to prosecute. “Unfortunately, when alcohol is present, it is very difficult to have everyone remember the facts,” said spokeswoman Angela Starke of the Orange-Osceola state attorney’s office. In an interview, the woman said she was angry about the state attorney’s decision not to prosecute.
“I feel like I’m not being heard,” said the woman, now 19, who is not being identified by the Orlando Sentinel because of the nature of the case. A University of Central Florida police report said the alleged sexual battery occurred the evening of Oct. 2 at the off-campus Sigma Nu house and the morning of Oct. 3 at a dorm room. On Tuesday, the state attorney’s office released more details. The man and the woman, who had both been drinking, “make out and touch each other” at the fraternity party, according to the state attorney’s office report. The man drove the woman, her roommate and another fraternity member back to campus. The man said he and the woman had sex in her dorm room. The report does not say whether the man called it consensual. The woman later talked to the man and other witnesses to piece together what happened, the report said. Afterward, the man and alleged victim saw each other and texted, the re-

port said, without providing further details. In January, the woman saw him at a bar and punched him three or four times in the face. In February, the woman reported a sexual assault to police. On Tuesday, the woman declined to talk about what happened that night. But she explained why she waited four months to report it, saying she “hit a low point” during winter break and decided not to be silent any longer. “This past year has totally changed me as a person,” she said, adding that she was in her first semester of school when the incident happened. “I’m not the same person as I was before this.” She doesn’t trust men, she said, and her grades suffered, an issue because she wants to go to medical school. “I’m trying to make a comeback,” she said. “I’m trying to not let this impact me as much as it did in the past.” The man did not graduate and is no longer in school, UCF of-

ficials said. Last month, a university discipline panel, in a separate case, ruled Sigma Nu should not be held responsible for his “rape” rantings, which he made after coming home from a bar months after the encounter with the woman. The panel pointed out the other Sigma Nu members tried to calm him down. At Florida campuses, rape allegations rarely result in prosecutions. A Sentinel investigation last year found 16 rape cases were reported in two years at UCF, but only four cases led to arrest. No one was convicted. “A lot of the cases, alcohol is involved. That’s one of the big issues. Most of the time, it’s an acquaintance, it’s some type of party, so it doesn’t fall into that, what you see in some jurisdictions, where it’s a stranger attack,” UCF Police Chief Richard Beary told the Sentinel at the time. ©2015 The Orlando Sentinel.

Members of the ISU College Chapter of the NAACP were honored with the Game Changer Achievement Award for Juvenile Justice.
NAACP honored Jamina Tribbett
ISU Communications and Marketing
The NAACP college chapter at Indiana State University was honored with the Game Changer Achievement Award for Juvenile Justice at the organization’s 2015 national convention in Philadelphia this summer. Indiana State’s NAACP is a civil rights advocacy organization that prides itself with being a resource for students who have been discriminated against on campus and educates them about issues that not only concern juvenile justice but also education, health, economic justice and civic engagement. The Game Changer Award is issued to an NAACP youth and college division that has advo-
cated on issues concerning juvenile justice and educates the community on juvenile-justicerelated subjects. “Young people need to understand that their actions can decide their futures,” said Anthonisha Haggard, past president of the campus NAACP chapter. “If they do not know the law or their constitutional rights, our criminal justice system may fail them.” Juvenile justice has become a hot-button topic in the recent years because of an increase in police brutality reports. “In some cities, there are very high police-to-population ratios,” Haggard said. “How can you trust the dozens of officers policing your neighborhood? Young people’s lack of education about their rights as citizens can
put them in a dangerous situation.” Valerie Hart-Craig, a 2003 graduate from Indiana State and the group’s advisor, also won the award for Youth Advisor of the Year for region three at the national convention. This award is issued to adults who exemplify excellent leadership and provides guidance to young people and their civil rights endeavors. “When did we start being afraid of our own children?” Hart-Craig asked. “The black and brown community has lost community. It is because of this that we have done a disservice to our children. We fear to which we do not know.” Hart-Craig, who was the previous president of the Terre Haute branch of NAACP, offers
herself as a resource to scholars across campus. “Ms. Val is the middle ground between old school and new school,” said Vanessa Lima, past treasurer of the campus NAACP chapter. “She takes our history and helps us apply it to our current situations in order to enlighten and mobilize students.” The campus NAACP chapter’s effort to educate students on issues has resulted in solidarity demonstrations around campus. In the past, the organization has orchestrated a die in protest in honor of Eric Garner, a Silence for Injustice protest for Trayvon Martin, and a Black Lives Matter forum and march around campus. Members of Indiana State’s NAACP say they intend to tackle juvenile-justice-related issues
this semester as it relates to the rights and safety of students on campus. “We are in the midst of planning our annual event called 411 on the Five-O,” said Joshua Tidwell, current president of the campus NAACP. “We invite local police officers and attorneys out to inform students of their rights and guide them through how to interact with law enforcement. The event not only educates our students but allows them an opportunity to communicate with officers in a safe environment.” General body meetings of Indiana State’s NAACP are at 5 p.m. Thursdays in room 416 of the Hulman Memorial Student Union and are open to the public.
The ‘Big O’ Oscar Robertson to speak at ISU Sept. 14 Dave Taylor
ISU Communications and Marketing
Indiana State University will kick off its 2015-16 University Speakers Series with an appearance by basketball legend Oscar Robertson Sept. 14 at 7 p.m. in Tilson Auditorium. The Indianapolis native forever changed the game of basketball — on the court and in the courtroom. Voted “Player of the Century” by the National Association of Basketball Coaches, he has also distinguished himself as a social activist, a labor leader, an international ambassador for basketball, a business owner, a mentor and teacher and a phi-
lanthropist. On the basketball court, the 6’5” Robertson set new standards of excellence at every level and is considered the greatest all-around player in the history of the game. The first big point guard who could score from anywhere, rebound, pass and play defense, Robertson created the template for such later NBA stars as Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James. He was Rookie of the Year in 1961, Most Valuable Player in 1964, a 12-time All-Star, and MVP in three All-Star games. He is enshrined in the International Basketball (FIBA) Hall of Fame, the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame and
twice in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, as an individual and as co-captain of the 1960 U.S. Olympic gold medalist team. Robertson attended Crispus Attucks High School and the University of Cincinnati. In only his second NBA season with the Cincinnati Royals, in 1961-62, he set a record that still stands when he became the only player to average a “triple double” for an entire season (30.8 points, 12.5 rebounds, 11.4 assists). He came within seven rebounds of averaging a tripledouble for the 1963-64 season. He holds NBA records for triple doubles in a season (41) and a career (181), and in rebounds
by a guard. He was the first player to lead the league in assists and scoring in the same season. He led the league in assists six times and free throw percentage twice, and is the only guard ever to lead his team in rebounding. As the longest-serving president of the NBA Players Association from 1965-74, The Big O made an even more lasting impact on the game with a class action anti-trust lawsuit against the NBA, seeking changes in the draft and the league’s reserve clause. A 1976 legal settlement, known as the Oscar Robertson Rule, helped NBA players become the first professional athletes to achieve free agency,
forever changing the balance of power in professional sports and leading to a new era of expansion, growth and prosperity for the NBA. Robertson was one of five cofounders of the NBA Retired Players Association and served as its first president from 19921998. In 1997, when his daughter Tia’s kidneys were failing, he made the assist of a lifetime by donating a kidney to her. He also became an advocate for kidney disease prevention, health and wellness, and organ transplantation on behalf of the National Kidney Foundation. Robertson’s appearance at Indiana State is free and open to the public.
Indiana State researcher helps solve 30-million-year mystery Libby Roerig

If you’ve ever wondered why the Antarctic is cold, scientists say you can thank the powerful Antarctic Circumpolar Current. The ACC, as it’s known, is a unique surface-to-bottom current that flows eastwardly around Antarctica and keeps it cold and dry. How it came to be, however, has stumped paleoceanographers for decades. “To establish ACC, you have to completely change continental geography — you have to open the Drake Passage between South America and Antarctica, have to open the Tasmanian Gateway between Australia and Antarctica,” said Jennifer Latimer, associate professor of geology at Indiana State University. “Then, it’s even more complicated, because it has to be deep and you have to have the right kind of winds to start the current. So, the timing of all of this has been really difficult to nail down.” Latimer is part of a team of researchers who say they’ve unlocked this secret of the current’s origin by studying markers
in sediment cores from the ocean floor and collaborating with tectonic plate researchers from the University of Tasmania and University of Sydney. Their findings were published in the July edition of the scientific journal “Nature.” Scientists have determined the Drake Passage opened anywhere 45 to 20 million years ago and the Tasmanian Gateway, which connects the Indian and Pacific oceans, opened 35 million years ago. Those conclusions were clues, but “just opening the gateway isn’t enough to start the ACC,” she said. “This (research) helped to show the gateway was initially open and water flowed from the west, and then it later, after this whole-scale reorganization, started to flow towards the east, which we said was the initiation of the ACC 30 million years ago.” Latimer was a graduate student under the tutelage of famed paleoceanographer James Kennett as a shipboard scientist on Ocean Drilling Program Leg 189 expedition in 2000. Latimer later brought with her to Indiana State samples from sediment core extracted during Leg 189, and while at the International Conference of Paleoceanography in 2010, she talked to
University of South Carolina colleague Howie Scher about the data from these cores. Their collaboration revealed ratio shifts in the neodymium isotopes — socalled chemical fingerprints — of the fossils in these sediment samples and indicating the formation of the current. “It’s another piece of the story that helps us better understand the development of the climate system since about 30 million years ago,” she said. “We know what’s happened over the past 30 million years in terms of how the ice sheets have grown or retreated, and we know what’s happened in terms of (carbon dioxide). But not knowing when the ACC started makes it harder to interpret some of those past changes in climate. Now that we can nail down when that happened, it helps us understand climate change since then.” In the 1970s, Kennett theorized why east Antarctica has ice sheets. Latimer says their recent findings support this 45-year-old theory, which has been the source of some scientific debate. “Right after we sailed on Leg 189, there was a lot of controversy, because there was this evidence of westward-flowing current, and we couldn’t figure out how
to reconcile that with Kennett’s original ideas,” she said. “This (new research) shows you can have both — you can have this initial west-flowing current that turns around and switches.” The change is a consequence of being at the exact right spot — both in terms of latitude to have a deep connection between the Indian and Pacific and in terms of the winds, Latimer said. “The opening of the Tasmanian Gateway and the establishment of the ACC coincides with the development of permanent ice sheets on east Antarctica,” she said. Part of the difficulty determining the current’s origin is getting sediment cores from the right locations and from the right times isn’t an easy task. From the time of writing a proposal for an expedition to actually boarding the ship can take longer than a decade, Latimer said. As a graduate student, Latimer also researched the Drake Passage, saying it opened about 30 million years ago. It turns out she was on to something. “When all this came out, my adviser called me and said, ‘We were right! We were absolutely right!’ So, that was kind of fun.”

7 signs you need more sleep Your body shows many subtle and bizarre clues Jeff Cattel
greatist.com (TNS)
Turns out we could all use a little more shut-eye: Four in 10 Americans don’t get the recommended seven hours of sleep per night. As a result, we’re pretty familiar with the signs that our bodies need more rest: endless yawns, heavy eyes and sleeping in on the weekends. But when you go from a few restless nights to more chronic sleep deprivation — where sleep debt accumulates over weeks — you tend to not realize how tired you are, says Joseph Ojile, M.D., medical director at the Clayton Sleep Institute. “With fatigue and sleeplessness, we are by nature impaired,” he says. “So that also means our self-awareness and judgment is off.” Luckily there are some subtle (and slightly bizarre) signs that reveal when we’re truly sleep-deprived. One, you rely on clichés. Do you find yourself peppering platitudes (“What goes around comes around” or “It is what it is”) into everyday conversation? No, you haven’t switched bodies with an old fogy, you might just be sleepy. Studies have shown that the act of pulling an all-nighter can mimic the levels of impairment we feel when we’re drunk, Ojile says. “When you’re impaired, you rely on crutches, the things you know,” he says. “That could mean cliches or anything that is rote and will allow you to stay in conversation without expending much
energy.” And it’s not just cliches. Sleep-deprived people start to sound drunk, with slurred speech, trouble finding words and excessive giddiness, says Terry Cralle, the national spokesperson for the Better Sleep Council and author of the children’s book “Snoozby and the Great Big Bedtime Story.” Two, you’re unusually moody. You’re usually a pretty patient person, but now you have the shortest fuse. Little things, like people being late or missing deadlines rile you up, and that’s totally normal for someone who’s sleep-deprived, says Robert Rosenberg, M.D., a sleep medicine specialist and author of “Sleep Soundly Every Night, Feel Fantastic Every Day.” One study even showed that people who were low on sleep struggled to accurately read facial expressions; they started seeing non-threatening people as threatening. As you can imagine, this would send most people into an emotional tailspin, thinking the world is out to get them. Three, you get sick all the time. You just got over one illness, and the next thing you know, another cold has you down for the count. Your body isn’t railing against you (even if you ate a few too many helpings of chili cheese fries last weekend), but your immune system is weaker and struggling to fend off the germs you come into contact with every day. Case in point: One recent study found
that people who got fewer than five hours of sleep per night were four times more likely to catch the common cold than those who slept for six. Four, you have a serious case of the munchies. Find yourself digging into a pint of ice cream right after you polished off some late-night pizza? Your hunger just can’t be sated — and there’s a perfectly good explanation for that. Studies have found that short sleeps lead to a lowered level of leptin (the hormone that decreases your appetite) and an increased level of ghrelin (the hunger hormone). Talk about a bad combination. Even worse, another study found that participants who slept four-and-ahalf hours for four consecutive nights showed increased insulin sensitivity and an elevated risk for diabetes — even though they didn’t change their diet. Five, you can’t seem to make a decision. Some choices are always hard to make (Netflix or Hulu?), and then there are days when every decision seems like it’s do or die. If you’re low on sleep, you’ll have less blood flow to the pre-frontal cortex, the area of your brain responsible for critical thinking. At the same time, there’s hyperactivity in the amygdala, which is wired for our responses to fear. “This leads to all sorts of problems with executive function,” Rosenberg says. “That includes things like decisionmaking, planning, organizing and paying attention.” Six, you lose your libido. “Who wants
to be intimate when they’re sleep deprived?” Ojile says. And he’s got a point. For those of us who are low on sleep, the only thing we want to do when we crawl into bed is, well, sleep. Our sex drives seem nonexistent. For men, studies have found that sleep deprivation can lower levels of testosterone, which also lowers their interest in being intimate with their partner. Seven, you’re breaking out like crazy. If you wake up in the morning with acne clustered around your chin, don’t think your high school years have come back to haunt you. It’s a perfectly normal reaction to being sleep-deprived or overly stressed, says Jennifer Reichel, M.D., a board certified dermatologist and advisor to RealSelf. Poor sleep habits can start to make skin less firm and hydrated — in a word: older. We have cortisol to thank for that. The hormone spikes in people who are stressed and sleep-deprived, and it can break down skin collagen, which stops it from being its usual smooth self. Sleep is hugely important to your body. Sure, we all love that well-rested and alert feeling, but there’s plenty of stuff happening behind the scenes too, from repairing damaged skin cells to flushing out toxins that build up in your brain. If you notice one of the aforementioned signs, it’s time to start thinking about your quantity and quality of sleep. Luckily, most of the time, these issues are reversible with a concerted effort to catch more zzz’s.

Silly Indiana laws a result of lawmakers overstepping bounds
Tips on how to get through the stress We have quite a few ridiculous laws in Indiana. Some of you may not even know they exist, but I assure you they do. The sheer quantity shows how America has way too many Columnist laws, and silly laws at that. One funny example that kind of got me by surprise says that anyone who wire-walks or does a puppet show cannot receive money for it. If they do, they get fined $3 under the Act to Prevent Certain Immoral Practices. Another example that I found was that in Indiana, pi equals 3. Now, we all know from math that pi is 3.14 — Indiana’s general assembly proposed this law in 1897, and it was then postponed in the senate, where it still remains today. Another strange example is that it is illegal to be sexually aroused in public. This law was made mainly to make sure that sex was not done in a public place, but it also covers flirting and touching. In today’s society we usually just frown upon it, but it was made a law because people just could not help themselves. The next example is that you cannot sell cars on Sunday. This is funny because you can also not sell alcohol on Sundays, so if you think about it, Sundays would be the best day for someone to buy a car, since they can’t buy alcohol. The next couple laws might be enough to make you laugh: it’s

illegal to catch a fish with one’s bare hands. The law was made to ban certain kinds of fishing, such as electric current, nets and apparently bare hands. The law even goes on to say that anything else that poisons or stupefies fish is also prohibited. Mustaches are illegal if the bearer has a habit of kissing other humans. Oral sex is also illegal in the state of Indiana. Also, drinking from your bottle at the bar can lead to your arrest. Well if you had many more and got out of control, then that law would make a lot more sense. The last couple laws will maybe put the icing on the cake, such as drinks on the house are illegal. That’s right, a bar is not allowed to give you free drinks, but when we turn 21, we all get free drinks. That law is apparently not working very well in my opinion. It is also illegal in the state of Indiana for an 18-yearold to have a passenger under the age of 17 who has no shoes or socks on. That driver could also be arrested for statutory rape, because the passenger is missing vital articles of clothing. This makes me think that some laws are crazy and need to be taken from the list or modified to make them better understandable. It’s amusing to see what people do that gets someone else riled up enough to pass a law. These examples show that sometimes weird things can be passed through state lawmaking and that we need better politicians and lawmakers in the future. I think that from these laws, we can learn to not make the same mistakes the past lawmakers did.
T w o short years ago I was exactly where you are now, registered for sorority recruitment and waiting for the moColumnist ment you hear about — the moment you enter a house and know that the women in front of you are your sisters. The moment that the values they hold so dear align with yours, the sisterhood they share speaks to you on a personal level, and their philanthropy is one you aspire to support and learn more about. No pressure, right? It may sound overwhelming, and you may be overthinking every outfit and conversation throughout the next week. But, when the stress builds up just remember that the women sitting across from you at each house are just as nervous, if not more nervous than you are. So how about we all take a second before this crazywonderful week and breathe. Let each chapter’s experiences resonate with your own and as you meet more women each night, build connections that go deeper than surface level. That is when you will find your home with an amazing group of women. Throughout the week you may find yourself exhausted, hungry and a bit emotional,

all of which are completely normal. Heck, I’ll be feeling the same way for the third year in a row. But no amount of lost sleep compares to the feeling of a group hug of 60plus women on Bid Day. Until then, here is some advice that will hopefully help you keep your sanity. 1. Be yourself. While sorority women may look well put-together and uniformed, we are a big bunch of quirky women with larger than life personalities. So show yours. Don’t be afraid to joke around and ask questions. Just as you are getting a feel for which sorority you fit in best with, so too are the women speaking to you. Whether you’re a bit nerdy like me, artsy or athletic, every sisterhood is a compilation of unique personalities that yours will add incomparable value too. 2. Keep an open mind. Cliché — yes, but this is true. You’ve already heard comments about sororities on campus and what many perceive to be their reputations. But push all of that talk to the back of your mind and go in completely open. My mom would always say that she dreaded prom dress shopping with me because I pictured the exact dress with the exact neckline and color that I wanted and was then disappointed with everything that didn’t fit the specific criteria. This applies here as well. If you go in with preconceived opinions, you lose the opportunity to connect with women and form your own.
3. Trust that gut feeling. When you know, you know. There will be a moment, a look, a conversation, or something completely unrelated that happens in the upcoming week that leaves you in utter disbelief of your clarity in the process. For me it came when I was able to talk to the woman who is now my big about Legally Blonde and exchange quotes for fifteen minutes straight. Silly of course, but that was something she continued to remember about me and it made that connection stand out from the rest. 4. Choose for yourself and not for your friends. It is easy to talk to your roommate or your best friend and hope to join the same sorority. While it works out for some, the process is ultimately one that speaks to each woman on an individual level. You should listen to yourself and when something feels right, hold onto it even if it means going in an opposite direction of a friend. When I decided to join a sorority, I didn’t know what I would get out of the process. I hoped for friendship and growth as an individual. Never did I think I would grow so close with a beautifully unique group of women, get the opportunity to be a leader in my chapter and be a part of a community that holds us to a higher standard. Ladies, prepare yourselves. This week is unlike any other, and by the end of it, you’ll truly have a home away from home.
‘Cultural appropriation’ not bad if done respectfully Part of being human is having culture. We all live within a culture, and there are hundreds on this planet alone. Many people are proud of their culture and display it through flying flags, going to clubs or helping out with a bake sale for their We take time to Columnist group. follow cultural traditions like celebrating holidays or celebrating milestones of age — like someone’s 21st birthday. Lately in media we have seen a lot of people being accused of cultural appropriation for anything down to the clothes a celebrity is wearing. But what is cultural appropriation? Cultural appropriation is the act of taking a part of someone else’s culture and adding it to yours. Often it’s seen as a bad thing, or at least recently it has. Is cultural appropriation really that bad? First, let’s consider what culture is. Culture is all the behavior we learn as

humans, from art and music to science and communication. Culture can only be learned one way: by socializing and learning. The only way any culture can spread is to share it with people. Think about that. Culture can only grow by socializing with others and learning more culture. Culture is meant to be shared. This cannot be stressed enough. Artists don’t make paintings to be seen by only a few people and musicians don’t write songs to entertain a specific number of people. Churches always want new people in the congregation and colleges always want to enroll more students. Each of these examples is a different way we share culture. Of course we are going to find things in common and cultures might even have areas where their beliefs overlap. But the culture only grows by spreading their cultural practices to more people so others can adopt the culture, or at least parts of it. Since culture grows in such a straightforward way it would seem safe to assume that cultural appropriation is inevitable.
And it is. If you adopt a new phrase, a tradition or even a recipe then you are appropriating a culture. But there is nothing wrong with adopting a part of a culture. After all, that is how we are programmed. When you are around your friends, someone often makes up a funny phrase or word, and after they say it often enough, you will catch yourself starting to say it. So now there are two people following a practice. Then, after you two use it enough, the rest of your friends catch on. Soon the entire group is using the new saying. Quickly that spreads to their friend’s friends. Now stop and think. One person said something funny, now we have a group of people doing it. That is how culture spreads. By taking in pieces of another culture we are only saying we like that part of the culture so much we want to be a part of it ourselves. Is that really something negative? Adopting culture isn’t a horrible thing by itself. The negative meaning comes when the culture that is getting adopted is insulted or perverted in a negative

way. If I were to meet someone who really liked a certain word because it was fun and harmless and I started using that word as an insult instead, I would be putting a bad meaning on a piece of a culture. And this is where we find the fine line between good and bad. Cultural appropriation has a negative meaning because some people don’t respect the cultures from which they borrowed. Instead they make a traditional gown meant to represent a cultural status and make it a sexualized piece of clothing. But not everybody does this and we need to be willing to see the difference. It is important to learn about different cultures. We are bound to meet people from different places and traditions and maybe even make friends with the same people. We may pick up new habits or phrases, or we could end up spreading our own. Culture is meant to be shared with each other, so why are we going to try to change that? It is okay to adopt different aspects of culture as long as you do so in a respectful way.

Orf scores winning goal in Sunday victory Indiana State University Soccer defeated Eastern Illinois 1-0 Sunday afternoon at Memorial Stadium. The Sycamores improve to 3-3 on the season, while the Panthers fall to 1-4-1 on the season. ISU evens the all-time series at 6-6-2 with EIU. Erika True is now 4-0-1 against the Panthers in her seven seasons at the helm, and the Sycamores are 5-0-1 in the last six meetings. The Sycamores scored the only goal of the contest in the ninth minute of action. Kate Johnson dribbled up the far right side of the box where she played a ball in front of the net to Maddie Orf. Orf connected on a shot and hit it over the head of the EIU keeper to give the Sycamores the early lead. It was Orf ’s third goal of the season. Indiana State surrendered nine shots during the contest. Brittany San Roman, who played all 90 minutes in net, recorded a save on the one shot on frame. The Sycamore offense was led by Orf, who had three shots, two on frame and the goal scored. Elly Freesmeier also recorded three shots, while Maddie Schaak added two. Maggie Richard, Kate Johnson, Kasey Wallace, Brice Bement and Lauren Weigel each tacked on one shot. Johnson added an assist and is now tied for the team-lead with two on the season.

Sycamores suffer five-set loss to IUPUI Tuesday evening
Miguel Lewis | Indiana Statesman
ISU’s volleyball team battles it out against IUPUI Tuesday night, the game debuting on ISU’s ESPN3.
ISU charged ahead in the first few sets but ended up falling short Despite a 2-0 lead, Indiana State Volleyball couldn’t hang on as it dropped a heartbreaking five set match (25-22, 25-15, 22-25, 20-25, 5-15) to IUPUI on Tuesday evening in the team’s home opener of the 2015 season. Junior opposite hitter Bree Spangler led with a game-high and new season-high 18 kills while junior right side Kynedi Nalls brought down a new
career-high 17 kills on a teamhigh .406 hitting percentage. As a team, Indiana State combined for a .233 hitting percentage but a lackluster performance in the final two sets sealed the team’s fate. Indiana State (5-3) won set one, 25-22, behind seven kills from Spangler and a .750 clip from redshirt senior Carly Wishlow, as IUPUI hit flat in the frame with a .000 hitting
percentage. Taking command in the second set, the Sycamores worked its way to a 25-15 victory and 2-0 lead in the match. Spangler officially hit her 22nd career double-double in the frame, as she pulled down six more kills in set two. ISU looked to complete the match sweep for the first time since 2002 and despite a comeback late in the set, they couldn’t
ISU finishes second at Early Bird Invite Senior John Mascari won the men’s 8,000-meter while sophomore Taylor Austin paced the women as Indiana State Cross-Country kicked off the 2015 season at the Evansville Early Bird Invite on Saturday morning. Men Senior John Mascari paced the field as he won the opening 8,000-meter of the season at the Cross-Country Course at Angel Mound. Mascari came in with a winning time of 24:28.7 while teammate David Timlin came in next for the Sycamores in sixth place (26:04.3). Redshirt sophomore Levi Taylor came in narrowly behind Timlin with a 26:04.4 and Daniel Swem was eighth overall (26:36). As a team, Indiana State finished just five points (30) behind winner Louisville (25). Marshall (73) and Evansville (115) came in third and fourth, respectively. Women Sophomore Taylor Austin guided the Sycamore women to a second-place team finish. Austin came in fourth overall (18:30.1) while teammate Brooke Moore picked up a seventh-place finish in her career debut (18:53.8). Louisville took top honors with 17 team points followed by the Sycamores, Marshal (87) and Evansville (100), respectively.

Once play resumed, Jonathan Treloar closed the half for the Bulldogs with a 39-yard field goal but the Sycamores 3110 advantage was more than enough to carry them through the rest of the game. But just in case it wasn’t, ISU added some cushion to the lead in the third quarter. Adam hit wide receiver Gary Owens from 53 yards out and Booker recorded

(David) Timlin and (Levi) Taylor raced together the whole way and (Daniel) Swem was not too far behind and showed how well his summer training went.” Women’s Coach Kyle Walsh “We did a nice job of working in groups and progressing through the race. We dug ourselves a bit of a hole early in the race by starting too far back, but the women remained competitive by moving up each kilometer. Taylor Austin did an his fourth touchdown with a 25-yard run. After a 75-yard run by Butler’s Matt Shiltz that resulted in a score, the Sycamores closed out the game with a twoyard run by Marlon Fleming, marking his first career score with nine minutes to go in the fourth quarter. Determining what was most impressive about ISU’s win is hard to figure out but the offense certainly put up the flashiest of numbers, including 303 rushing yards on 34 carries. Booker made up for 140 of those yards but Adam ran for 65 while Roland Genesy and Fleming ran for 53 and 35 respectively.

We’ve got a long way to go but we hope to see great improvements when we return on Oct. 31 for the MVC Championships.” Story by ISU Athletic Media Relations
“I thought it was a positive start,” Sanford said of the team’s offense. “We were very strong on the front line and obviously LeMonte Booker was very good and very effective. Roland Genesy was a positive as well. And I thought Matt Adam at the quarterback spot today made some big plays, which is good.” The Sycamore defense spent over half of the game out on the field, but the minutes didn’t seem to bother the group much. ISU kept Butler off-balance and had its way against the Bulldog offensive line. Lonnell Brown had a team-high nine tackles, including three for a loss.

Mascari named MVC CrossCountry Athlete of the Week Tyler Wooten
ISU Athletic Media Relations
Sycamore All-American senior John Mascari has been named the Missouri Valley Conference Male Cross-Country Athlete of the Week, the Valley announced Tuesday afternoon. Mascari, recently picked to finish fifth at the national meet by Track and Field News and as a potential national title contender by the USTFCCCA, won his first race of 2015 last Saturday at the Evansville Early Bird Invite. Despite extremely hot conditions, Mascari ran a smooth 24:48.7 in the 8,000-meter to beat out Louisville’s Japhet Kipkoech by nine seconds for the win. This was Mascari’s first action since suffering a back injury during the 2015 outdoor track season, during which he broke the all-time MVC 10,000-meter record but had to miss the national meet due to his injury. Mascari led a contingent of five Sycamores that finished in the top 10 en route to a second-place team finish behind Louisville by five points, who was ranked seventh in the tough Southeast region entering last week. Next up for both the Sycamore men and women is the Indiana Intercollegiate meet, which will be held in Terre Haute on Sept. 18. Tsali Lough had seven stops while Connor Underwood had six and recorded his first sack of the season. “Our defensive front needed to control the line of scrimmage,” Sanford noted. “I felt like they did that, especially early in the game. I can’t say enough about our defense. We were able to stop them and put them in obvious passing situations.” Indiana State now sets its sights on FBS in-state foe Purdue in the team’s first road trip of the season. The Boilermakers, who fell in their opener to Marshall on Sunday, host the Sycamores at noon on Saturday.
