First Finance Committee meeting fraught with heated discussions about ISU’s budget
Kristi Ashby News Editor The newly established Finance Committee held its first meeting Friday morning in the Heritage Ballroom at Tirey Hall to discuss ISU’s budget. The Finance Committee is made up of three trustees: Randy Minas, who is the chair of the committee, Jeff Taylor and Kathy Cabello. Diann McKee, the vice president for business affairs, finance and university treasurer, was in attendance at the meeting and informed the Finance Committee where ISU currently stands financially. “The Board of Trustees decided to create the Finance Committee to provide an opportunity to thoroughly review various aspects of the University’s financial information,” McKee said. Attendees discussed many topics, including raising fees for parking permits, new academy laboratory/course-specific fees and the “97 percent” rule for budgeting revenue. The “97 percent” rule refers to how enrollment is budgeted. The enrollment is budgeted at 97 percent of the average of the past three fall semesters. Robert Guell, an economics professor, had some disagreement about the “97 percent” rule that has been used since 2012. “It has been responsible for good things and bad,” Guell said. “The good things include the ability to withstand the rescissions of millions of state allocation dollars and the ability to generate space for raises that have beaten inflation by so much that ISU salaries now exceed those at Ball State.”

Guell has some misgivings about the “97 percent” rule though and says there have been drawbacks. “We [the ISU vice presidents] have been forced to cut millions out of academic and nonacademic units,” Guell said. “ISU’s student-faculty ratio continues to rise and our academic and nonacademic personnel have been cut so much that we are now in a position where we are each teaching more students and there are fewer support personnel to back us up.” Guell believes that the current rule has underestimated revenue brought into the school and this could be damaging ISU. “This is resulting in a massive and increasing underestimation of revenue which results in a process that mandates spending cuts and/or reallocations that

are, in my opinion, damaging to the institution,” Guell said. “My colleagues and I believe that the budget of ISU should be based on a full and complete estimation of revenue and a full and complete estimation of expenses. Currently, our budget is based on revenue figures that are significantly lower than they will actually be and on an incomplete expense list. The first is significantly more than the second and so we have ended the last two years with large surpluses.” Guell suggests that Indiana State should do three things: estimate enrollment and tuition revenue based on the best projections from enrollment management, enumerate and budget for every expense that there is a reasonable expectation will exist and budget a necessary and prudent

reserve in case either the revenues or expenses surprise us. President Daniel Bradley was also in attendance at the meeting and gave his opinion of how the meeting went. “I believe the meeting went well,” Bradley said. “The goal of the meeting was to discuss how current plans will operate in the future and to see what plans and items people want to review.” Bradley also discussed what ISU could do to address the concerns with the “97 percent” rule. “It was suggested that we [ISU] make an actual estimate of revenue instead of using a formula,” Bradley said. “Doing that can lead people to be overly optimistic about the budget. We need to take optimism out of the equation.” Guell feels that some of the budget cuts are unnecessary. “The President’s process is unnecessarily mandating a university-wide cut of $1 million in the budget when there is no actual need to cut anything,” Guell said. “We may be well advised to constantly consider re-allocations, but there is no need to cut. If the President wants to mandate that each Vice President unit reallocate 1 percent of their budgets internally, that is one thing, but that is not what he is requiring. He is requiring that they cut a portion of their budget when he knows that is not necessary to achieve a balanced budget.” Indiana State University is going to look at what Guell told the Finance Committee Bradley said. “We [ISU] can look into a different equation for a closer estimate,” Bradley said.

Lower gas prices help students save money Makyla Thompson Reporter Gas prices have gone down and this can affect how students are spending their money. Since the beginning of the year the gas prices have gone down. To many people this is a good thing, because that means that they are not going to be spending all of their money on gasoline. Donald Richards, a professor for the department of economics, explained that many factors can affect gas prices. “[Gas prices] fall and rise for varieties of reasons, they can rise when there are new oil discoveries and development of new oil resources and that’s happened in recent years in the United States,” Richards said. In a USA Today article, Paul Davidson, an economics reporter, said people are saving their money rather than spending all of it on gas simply because the prices are low. Davidson mentioned that the falling gas prices have not changed the way that people manage their financial decisions. The money they save from low gas prices goes toward other important things like bills and debt or even medical bills. Many are preparing in case the prices go back up or the U.S. has another recession like in the past. “In 2008 we had a very severe recession, and that was a global phenomenon which when you have a recession, income falls and when income falls people buy less, and they bought less gasoline,” Richards said. “So
8.7% 15.9% 56.5% 18.8%
I used it to pay back (bills, loans, debts, etc ...) I used the extra money on things I didn't need I saved the extra money I did not change my spending habits

it’s really a combination of those two things, a fall in demand and an increase in supply.” Gas prices have gone from $3 and $4 a gallon to around $2, and it has helped people get more for their money. “I drive a very fuel-efficient truck and I don’t drive much. I can go three weeks on $50 worth of gas, and
now it is probably less I could use $30,” Richards said. Some students used the extra money to buy much needed items in their lives, such as extra groceries. Patience Nimely, a senior health science major, believes that the low gas prices are easier on her pockets. “I pay for gas every week and I really don’t drive a lot so I spend $10 a week,” Nimely said. “They [low gas prices] help a lot, especially buying food and everything. I have more left over to spend on food and other things instead of buying gas for $5 a gallon.” Many students said they didn’t change their spending habits. Barry McCarter, a senior majoring in social studies education, said he didn’t have a car but explained how this would’ve helped if he did. “I don’t have a car so I walk,” McCarter said. “I think it would’ve made a big difference if I had a car though. I would’ve been more lenient in helping other people when they needed rides. I could’ve carpooled. I wouldn’t have saved money though. It’s gas, you’ve got to use it.” Another student tried to use his extra money wisely. Daniel Magnabosco, a senior criminology major, used the money toward credit card bills and fraternity dues. “I have a Honda Civic,” Magnabosco said. “I saved around $10 to $15 a week from lower gas prices. When I saw my bills and dues I knew I needed to save money. I starting putting the money I saved from gas to pay these two things off.”

Social networking affects future job opportunities
Morgan Gallas Reporter
Social networking and media are crucial tools for success in today’s world. Social networking involves using the people one knows to help improve each other’s present state. It’s used to share information about oneself and see other’s information. Using the two, becoming successful can be less difficult. Mat Hetzel, the assistant director of the Career Center, is knowledgeable in this subject. “We have an unprecedented way, now more than ever in human history, to connect with people,” Hetzel said. “We can connect with people all the way across the world because we put ourselves on a website.” Social media makes the world smaller by bringing people to one page on the Web. Learning to use social media to one’s advantage can lead to a rewarding experience. “The Career Center likes to focus on the idea that you can share your best qualities,” Hetzel said. “Social [media] is important for gathering information. You
and everyone else sells the best skills and traits and it opens you up to a broader market.” In today’s job market, many employers look on the Internet for what potential employees have published. “Employers will probably Google you to see what your online presence is,” Hetzel said. “Trying to clean up your accounts of pictures and other things that are unprofessional can help to maintain [your social media presence].” Social networking uses interpersonal relationships to advance both parties. “When maintaining social networks, keep people updated,” Hetzel said. “People [who] made an impact on your life want to know what’s happening in your life. It’s not a bad idea to keep them updated.” Thomas Frank of CollegeInfoGeek, a blog for college students, wrote a post about making friends in college that expands to social networking. “Be the one who’s willing to reach out and do the inviting,” Frank said. “You may just have to be the one who does this, but a one-way street is better than a street that doesn’t exist … People who like you are
people who will want to help you.” The base of social networks is friendships. It’s easy to find people who have similar interests. “Look for people who are like you,” Hetzel said. “They can share classes with you or join the same organization. The organizations are made after things you enjoy, whether it be clubs or social groups.” A warning that some may not know: do not use social media as the only way to make friends. “The problem with social media is that you lose a lot of communication over the Internet,” Hetzel said. “You lose tone of voice and body language. Don’t rely too much on social media. You need personal interactions.” Carly Prugle, a freshman studying business administration, said she uses social media and networking and hopes for it to be useful after college. “All of my professors encourage using LinkedIn and the Career Center does also,” Prugle said. “Social media is more for recreational use more than anything else right now. It’s useful because I am

Dating advice: learn from the past
Ask for dating advice and you shall receive. I am not an expert, but I do realize that true gentlemen are scarce and some girls have psychotic tendencies. I will never understand why accepting a Facebook friend request is grounds for a couple to argue. Columnist However, we often don’t know what is special until we experience it for ourselves, so resting on the skepticism of our past may seem acceptable. Even when we do find something worth keeping, we sometimes let it go because we think something better will come along. Searching for “better” is a symptom of commitment phobia. We don’t want to become comfortable with one person because we are afraid of settling or missing out on true love. In fact, the more time we spend searching, the less time we are devoting to turning admiration into something long-lasting. Recently, meeting someone wonderful has put into perspective multiple things for me including my own happiness and

what should and should not be stood for in relationships. It’s easy to look back now and see where I misinterpreted or took things for granted in the past, but as said by the wise monkey Rafiki in “The Lion King,” “Oh yes, the past can hurt. But the way I see it, you can either run from it or learn from it.” While you may have been in a past relationship that was unhealthy due to a plethora of reasons, if you are out of the relationship, be out of it. Don’t let your mind continue to wonder what could be because it can’t and don’t ponder what you should have done because you didn’t. It’s a waste of both your and someone else’s energy and time to sulk in the past, especially when you find an opportunity to move forward. My latest favorite comparison is that a relationship is like an ice rink. It’s hard to handle and easy to fall when you’re left in the middle on your own but when you’re supported and encouraged by another it becomes a test of courage and spontaneity. While we all know that it takes courage to initiate a relationship, it also takes a committed partnership to keep it afloat. If you ever find the effort scale slipping
in one direction as opposed to being equivalent on both ends, your relationship necessitates attention. It’s better to be single and pursuing Pringles instead of in a relationship where you are consistently initiating every attempt to communicate and see one another. If you commit to being in a relationship, actually be in one. I don’t mean show up from time to time when it is convenient for you, but be there wholeheartedly. When your boyfriend or girlfriend is talking — actually listen to them and be engaged. I would much rather have someone tell me I’m being a tad bratty and that I need to apologize to someone as opposed to receiving insincere head nods that really only mean you have no interest in what I’m talking about. Relationships shouldn’t be a “job” for either party involved and as we encounter more experiences and gain more opportunities in our lives, our partners should be there to encourage these, not hinder them. Once you’re in the relationship, there are a few things you can look for that help gauge whether or not your relationship is on track. For example, if your dinner dates are consistently half-off apps, we may have an issue.

It is published Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays during the academic school year. Two special issues are published during the summer. The paper is printed by the Tribune Star in Terre Haute, Ind.
It is understandable that everyone has a budget but let’s spruce it up a bit and keep an element of surprise in the relationship. There are only so many mozzarella sticks that can soothe an angry heart. Similarly, if you go weeks without hearing from your significant other, they didn’t drop their phones in the toilet repeatedly; they just simply don’t have their priorities straight when it comes to your feelings. Don’t settle for a part-time partner. Instead, communicate how you are feeling as soon as something feels off. It may be a misunderstanding or it may be something deeper that can be fixed with effort. So why do relationships fail? I would love to list out a scientific formula that incorporates the correct amount of effort combined with a definitive amount of time spent together that could give you a partner for life. But in reality, sometimes we choose to date douchebags. Simply put — think with your head and heart combined and don’t be afraid to be single if the time isn’t right. Rushing into a relationship will end in heartbreak but waiting could end in something wonderful.

Modern dating practices stress us out
As a culture, often our traditions and customs change. These changes happen over time and with each generation. These changes can be as simple as how we dress or as drastic as whether women can hold a job, but one thing that nobody seems to is changing is how Columnist realize our relationships work. Some of you may ask a question about why we need to focus on these changes if we get along just fine with these groups, and the answer is simple: health, ease and happiness. Dating has changed a lot, and much of it has not been for the better. I’ll admit that older systems weren’t perfect, but they were more effective and helped people keep a better peace of mind. Everything from what a date means to how to handle an argument has
Zachery Davis
changed, and so many problems have risen because of it. Up until the mid to late 1900s dating was a lot different than it is today. A single date didn’t automatically mean two people were intimate. Often it was just lunch together or going to a movie, no obligation necessary. In that time it wasn’t unheard of for people to have dates lined up with a different person each day. They understood they were looking for someone compatible, not necessarily someone easy. Work was required so work they did. Effort was put into relationships and marriages. They didn’t talk from the second they woke up to the second they went to bed, but instead they talked a half hour here and there. They went on a date or two a week and they weren’t around each other constantly. When they didn’t agree often compromises were made or they simply agreed to disagree. This is healthy and it helped them get along. Today our practices for relationships
are different, and they’re worse. Today people try to practically attach themselves to their partners. With new technology people want to talk 24/7 and it’s not healthy. If you talk all the time eventually there’s nothing left to talk about. Nobody agrees one hundred percent, so naturally arguments occur. Now instead of sorting out these arguments couples let a single argument determine the fate of a relationship. If a couple argues they push it aside and move on, a very unhealthy practice. Eventually it comes up again, and when this loop repeats a couple times they sever the relationship. What’s more is that these fights that go unresolved today lead to anxiety and increased stress, which is very unhealthy. Did you know that people under 30 who aren’t married are at an increased chance for depression? Many people under 25 who haven’t found their ideal partner are at an even higher chance. Often this depression can cause pain, insomnia or even suicidal thoughts. All
these problems stem from one thing: dating. Since we’ve changed dating to be too serious from the start we have messed it up and now these issues are more common. People are having trouble finding good partners, making dating the cause. That isn’t to say the old system was perfect, but I am saying that it was better. It didn’t lead to as much stress, anxiety and depression. Two family friends of mine have been together for 55 years, though they’re always bickering. They resolved their arguments and they didn’t let disagreements get in the way of their happiness. They always gave me the same advice that made their marriage work, the same principles that we seem to have forgotten today: don’t go to bed angry, don’t be afraid to disagree and don’t let people treat you like trash. We have strayed away from our old system of dating and it has led to so many problems for individuals. This change wasn’t a good one and we need to go back.
‘2 B or not 2 B’: text speak changes language
When you pick up your phone — every 23 seconds — you are most likely looking at a text message. And like most of the messages sent today you find abbreviations like LOL, OMG and WTF. These abbreviations of words, sometimes three or more, are killing our Columnist written language. It may not seem like an issue but it could be. We all remember reading Shakespeare’s “Romeo and Juliet” in freshman English class. Did you have a book that had the original text and modern-day translation side-by-side? This is because in Shakespeare’s time he had some 3000 everyday words to draw from, where as we only use about 300. These are common words that everyone uses and back in the 1600s they generally
T.C. Wampler
had a much larger vocabulary. Yet, here we are today with the Internet literally at our fingertips and we use shorthand to write to one another. With the largest knowledge base to draw from in history we have no reason to tell people “OMG. LOL. I’ll brb” when we can be so much more eloquent. Is it really our fault for using this kind of shorthand? In the early days of texting you only had a certain amount of texting space because it was hard for companies to send the unique code from phone to phone. That meant a new language had to be developed so people could save space in their messages. They could then write a 140- or 160-character message that had a lot of detail but fit into one message. Once texting became the primary form of communication we had an unlimited amount of space, but that would not change the way we would talk to each other because it had become part
of who we were. Then came Twitter, a way to inform followers of your status in 140 characters. Twitter changed social media much like Facebook, but it did it in a way where all you had to do is send a few words and everyone knew how you felt and what you were thinking. In my opinion everyone thought very little, due to the amount of space you had to write. When people started to speak how they were texting it became an issue with me. For me the shorthand was a way for me to use words how I would talk in normal conversation as a way to convey tone or inflection. For instance, using “aight” instead of “alright” because “aight” is a more laid-back way of telling someone it’s OK or it’s just fine. A much easier way of telling someone that you laughed out loud is to type “LOL” instead of “HAHAHAHAHAHA.” Texting has always had one downfall and it’s not with its language. We all
have had trouble importing sarcasm, inflection and tone in our messages. Without the ability to have italics and bold in messages this becomes increasingly harder to do with our primary form of communication. So, as texting grows so does the growth of emojis, the tiny little pictures of faces, food and things. These pictures have allowed many people to know how you’re feeling when sending a text and can infer your inflection with one little picture. I think texting is great because it’s quiet, discreet and not as cumbersome as answering a phone call. I find it much easier to pull my phone out and send a quick text to someone with a snappy response of complete words, with the exception of “LOL.” But I found it hard to have the tone of what I say, usually my sarcastic comments, to make it via text. But now I use my emojis, sparingly, to let everyone know when I am rolling my eyes and laughing at their misfortune.

ISU Aikido club teaches students defense
Adler Igalsbe Reporter
Indiana State University is showing off its Japanese culture with an Aikido club that is made up of students, faculty and local Terre Haute community members. Ashley Haack, the club’s president, said Aikido is a form of self-defense that does not involve hurting someone, but instead solving whatever problem there is without any clashes. “Aikido is a martial art that is not about harming an attacker, but instead is about resolving conflict using very little violence or physical force,” Haack said. “Because of that, during practice we work together to learn the art of defense and attack through breathing and relaxation techniques as well as using your core rather than brute strength to affect the balance and momentum of an opponent.” Haack said they stress the ability to relax when they are put into tough situations and work on that during their
practices. “Aikido training is mental as well as physical, emphasizing the ability to relax the mind and body even under the stress of dangerous situations,” Haack said. “This is necessary to enable the practitioner to perform the enter-andblend movements that underlie aikido techniques, wherein an attack is met with confidence and directness.” While they practice being relaxed and comfortable under the different circumstances they are put in, the club also works hard on Aikido techniques. The activity was started almost 100 years ago in Japan, and was then brought to Indiana State by Jerry Hargis, the club’s instructor. “Aikido was founded by Morihei Ueshiba in Japan in the 1920s [and was then brought to ISU] by our sensei Jerry Hargis,” Haack said. “The goal of the founder of the art was to create an art that practitioners could use to defend themselves while also protecting their

Honors students game the night away
Kayetlin Shady Reporter
The Leadership Engagement Activities Fun committee executive board of Pickerl teamed up with Sycamore Gaming in an attempt to get students involved. Madison Scott, a sophomore language studies major and programmer for the LEAF executive board, said she wanted a way for the hall to come together. “We wanted something to get everyone to come down and get involved and to just have a good time,“ Scott said. The game night gave students a relaxing evening to hang out with friends, meet new people and have fun with free food, music, board games and video games. Scott said that students should come to events such as game night because it’s an opportunity to meet others and have fun. “It’s a great way to get and know your student body. The more events you go to the more connections you can make. It’s also a way to relax and enjoy yourself, because college can get really busy.
Overall it is a great way to get involved on campus and with your residence hall,” Scott said. The LEAF board felt as though they were struggling to get students involved and the game night was designed to draw more students out — and it did exactly that. The atmosphere was filled with laughter and good memories. Noah Cacovski, a sophomore history major, gave the evening a “two thumbs up.” Morgan Bowley, a freshman speech pathology major, said she felt more connected to her residence hall. “I really like game nights and getting to know people so I would definitely come to events like this more often,” Bowley said. The LEAF board has also started a tally system as an incentive to get students involved. Marissa Clifford, a freshman elementary education major, explained the system. “If a student comes to a general meeting, community service program, a program put on by the hall such as

the game night each residence earns a tally mark. If the residents as a whole earn 1,000 tally marks by the end of this semester the executive board will pay for a foosball or pool table for Pickerl Hall,”
Clifford said. The next general meeting for Pickerl LEAF is Thursday, March 5. Pickerl will also be hosting a bake sale on March 2 and 3 for Relay for Life.

Matthew Keith Columnist OK guys — let’s face it. There are not a lot of options when it comes to fashion. We have jeans, t-shirts, pants, shorts and that’s about it. While there are a lot of other alternative fashion choices, they tend to be a little too much. Some of you might not care about fashion and think that walking out in sweatpants is just fine, while others might like to slip into their favorite pair of khakis when heading out to class. It can be kind of frustrating choosing between looking nice and feeling comfortable, but who says that you can’t have both? Many affordable stores have come out with a style of pants called the “jogger.” They have the fit and design of sweatpants but look like and updated version of your favorite chinos. Joggers taper right at the ankle with elastic just like sweat pants but look more put together. This style of pants is very versatile you can throw them on when you’re running late to class or slip into for a night out. Your favorite button up T-shirt or tank will look great with them so you’ll never have to worry. OK, now it’s time for the ladies. Spring is a lot closer than you think. This means that it’s almost time to stash away the jeans and boots and bring out the dresses. This spring, flowy
bohemian-style dresses are in. Any type of print or color will do — you can make a statement with boho prints or you can be classic and choose floral. What’s great about dresses is that they can be a versatile companion to any woman’s closet and you can make them work no matter what the weather. If it’s a bit chilly, try throwing on a jean jacket and boots for a relaxed and comfortable look. A little bit sunnier? Throw on some strappy sandals and you’re ready to go out. The best part about this trend is that it’s been around for the past couple of seasons, so you’re bound to have at least one in your closet. That way you can still keep up with the trend on a budget. If you don’t have a billowy dress to wear, stores like Forever 21, rue21, and H&M have them for cheap. Here is the trend that everyone can look forward to — floral. It appears every spring so it’s a timeless trend that you can look forward to every year. Of course, there are tons of clothing for women that have these fun prints however there hasn’t been much for men — at least until now. Many clothing stores have hopped on the ‘floral for men’ trends that have been seen on the runway and have brought them to the masses. The print now comes in hats, shirts, shoes and even pants. I know a lot of guys may be a little hesitant to try this trend because they want to keep a tough image, but I advise everyone to try new things because you never know what you may like.

Sycamores smash Salukis in Saturday game Rob Lafary Sports Editor It’s been common throughout the season to see Indiana State men’s basketball come back from a disappointing loss only to pick up the pieces and quickly return to its winning ways. The trend continued on Saturday. After suffering a setback on Wednesday at Missouri State, the Sycamores rebounded at the Hulman Center, disposing of Southern Illinois 78-58 to pick up their 14th win of the season and their 10th win in Missouri Valley Conference play. The victory also ensures that ISU maintains its thirdplace spot in the conference, now a game ahead of Evansville who suffered a loss at Wichita State on Sunday. “Really pleased today,” Indiana State head coach Greg Lansing said. “Obviously winning by 20 is something that happens often for us this year. We have not had many games that have been decided by more than a few points with [Southern Illinois]. They always play us tough, they always play hard. We played well, we played well on both ends of the floor and we had a lot of good contributions. It was a huge game for us.” With a height advantage on the inside, the Sycamores quickly went to work in the post in the first half as Indiana State’s high-low offense played to the hand of senior forward Justin Gant. Gant scored the team’s first four baskets on the inside to combat the Salukis’ Anthony Beane and Deion Lavender. Southern Illinois led early 11-8 but a 3-pointer by freshman Tre Bennett brought ISU out to a 13-11 advantage at the 12:39 mark. The Sycamores never trailed again. Indiana State led 20-15 with 8:35 on the clock but its good fortunes soared soon after when a flagrant two foul was called against SIU’s Bola Olaniyan after he struck Gant in the face on the Salukis’ side of the floor. Following protocol, Olaniyan was ejected from the game and left Southern with an even greater height disadvantage, which the Sycamores used. ISU led by as much as 16 before the break and led 37-23 at intermission. Gant scored 14 points in the first half while Indiana State scored 20 points in the paint. For Lansing it was the start his team needed after last Wednesday night. “I think [Gant] was probably frustrated with how he played at Missouri State, I think he was 1-for-7 or 1-for8,” Lansing noted. “Justin’s a good player and we play through him and Jake Kitchell so much because they’re such great passers and they can bring the bigs away from the basket. This is the time of year where you want to see your best players playing well and he did a good job of getting us out of the gate.” The start of the second half shifted attention away from the inside game and put it on the guards as Southern Illinois’ Anthony Beane and Indiana State’s Brenton Scott traded jabs.

The latter eventually won the battle as Scott scored the Sycamores first 11 points of the half, negating Beane’s nine points and keeping ISU on top by double digits at 48-35 with 15:42 to go. Scott’s performance in the second half, a 14-point outburst, earned high praise from his head coach after the game. “I said at halftime that we were playing awfully well and Brenton only had two shots,” Lansing said of the freshman guard. “I probably shouldn’t have said that to Brenton because he was going to make sure he got his shots up but he’s a good player. When he makes the right plays for himself and for others he’s really good and he’s continuing to improve on the defensive end. Brenton Scott should be freshman of the year in the league.” The rest of Scott’s teammates followed suit for the fi-
nal 15 minutes. Indiana State led by 26 with three minutes to go and came up with the 78-58 win soon after. Indiana State shot 49 percent from the field and 50 percent from three-point range. Scott had a team-high 17 points while Gant added 16 and Devonte Brown scored 10. Bennett had a teamhigh nine rebounds. Southern Illinois was led by Beane’s 22 points with Lavender adding 10. The Salukis shot 41 percent from the floor but were a dismal 4-15 from behind the arc. SIU was also outrebounded 38-26. The Sycamores now await No. 13 Wichita State on Wednesday night for the final regular season home game. The game will also serve as senior night as ISU honors Gant and Kitchell at the conclusion of the game.

Sycamore baseball falls to Vanderbilt in weekend series Game One The Sycamores gave the defending National Champions all they could handle Friday night at the Charlotte Sports Park. Vanderbilt won 3-2 on a walkoff single by Rhett Wiseman. The loss drops the Sycamores to 2-2, and Vanderbilt improves to 3-1. The Sycamores struck first in the second inning. Andy Young muscled a double down the left field line then advanced to third on a wild pitch. Freshman Tyler Friis stepped up and delivered the sacrifice fly to score Young. ISU tacked on another in the third inning. Connor McClain was walked and Landon Curry followed with a single to left field. Jacob Hayes the hit a high chopper to the left side of the infield and legged out the infield hit. McClain hustled around and scored from second on the play. Both runs came off of Carson Fulmer, a preseason Baseball America First-Team AllAmerican. Vanderbilt battled back in the bottom of the fifth inning. The Commodores tied the game up when Wiseman laced a double to center field, scoring two. The Sycamores threatened in the top of the ninth, loading the bases with one out, but were unable to score. Vanderbilt was able to load the bases in their half of the inning. Wiseman again supplied the offense with a single up the middle to score Tyler Campbell to give the Commodores the win. Ryan Keaffaber picked up the loss, his first of the season, throwing 0.1 innings, allowing two hits and a run. Jeremy McKinney had another impressive appearance out of the ISU bullpen, throwing 3.1 innings, allowing one hit and striking out four. Ben Bowden earned the victory for the Commodores. Bowden threw 0.2 in-
nings and struck out one batter. At the plate, Curry led the Sycamores going two-for-four. Friis finished one-for-two with an RBI and walked once. Game Two The Indiana State Sycamores knocked off the No. 1 Vanderbilt Commodores by a score of 8-1 Saturday afternoon at Charlotte Sports Park in Port Charlotte, Florida. It is the highest-ranked team that the Sycamores have ever beaten. ISU is now 3-2 and Vanderbilt drops to 3-2. The Commodores got the lead early, scoring one in the bottom of the first inning. Dansby Swanson started the game with a leadoff double and scored on a Zander Wiel single. The Sycamores evened the score in the fifth inning. Jeff Zahn smashed a double over the head of the right fielder; ISU used three walks to plate Zahn with Jacob Hayes picking up the RBI. The Sycamores broke the ballgame open in the sixth inning. Andy Young led off with a double down the third baseline that was misplayed by the left fielder allowing him to take third base. Connor McClain drove in Young on a single to right to give the Sycamores their first lead. Kaden Moore drove a double to left center to score McClain and Landon Curry followed with a single to right to drive in Zahn and Moore. Young also earned an RBI drawing a bases loaded walk to bring home Curry. Tyler Friis then singled to centerfield to plate two more runs to give the Sycamores the commanding 8-1 advantage. Jeff Degano earned the win for the Sycamores. Degano threw 7.0 innings, allowing six hits, surrendering one run and striking out five. Michael Eberle closed the door on Vanderbilt, throwing 2.0 innings, striking out two.

Degano and Eberle only allowed one base runner from the fourth inning on. At the plate, ISU was led by Zahn who finished two-for-four with two runs scored. Moore added two hits, a run and an RBI. Derek Hannahs finished two-for-three with a run scored. Game Three The Indiana State Sycamores dropped the rubber match with the defending National Champion Vanderbilt Commodores by a score of 6-0 Sunday afternoon at Charlotte Sports Park in Port Charlotte, Florida. The loss drops the Sycamores to 3-3, while the Commodores improve to 4-2. The Commodores scored in the first inning for the secondstraight game. Lead-off hitter Bryan Reynolds got on with a single then advanced to second
after an ISU error and moved to third on a fielder’s choice. Zander Wiel tapped a ground out to second to score Reynolds to give the Commodores an early advantage. Vanderbilt got another run in the second inning, aided by two walks and a hit batter. Reynolds came up with the sacrifice fly to score Will Toffey to put the Commodores up 2-0. The Commodores added three more in the bottom of the sixth inning. After ISU’s Austin Conway retired the first two batters of the inning, Vandy rattled off fourstraight hits, highlighted by a Jeren Kendall two-run double to left center, putting the Commodores up 5-0 after six innings. Vanderbilt tacked on an insurance run in the eighth inning on a pinch-hit single by Ro Coleman to score Toffey.
The Sycamores managed just four hits in the contest. Landon Curry, Jacob Hayes, Tyler Friis and Connor McClain with one hit each. On the mound, the Sycamores used six different pitchers. Greg Kuhlman started and picked up the loss, pitching just 1.1 innings, allowing one hit, two runs, one earned and walked two. Austin Conway came on in relief, tossing a career-high 4.1 innings, allowing four hits, two runs — both earned — and striking out three. The Sycamores return to action on Wednesday when they travel to Clarksville, Tennessee, to play Austin Peay in a midweek matchup before taking on Georgia Tech in a three-game series over the weekend.
