Collecting all information on cancer GEN ZATKOFF Reporter Students all over the world either have cancer, or know someone who does. Although there still isn’t a cure, there are ways to prevent it and ways to cope.

Indiana State University has a presentation partnered with the Maple Center to show students how to prevent cancer, a better understanding of it and how it can be sustained.

Michelle Bennet, Program Administrator for the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, wants to spread the healthy vibe.

Presentations are held every Wednesday, most at Westminster Village.

Freshman Jocelyn Ortiz, a psychology major, is glad college students are getting this chance.

This is the first time many students have heard about a presentation like this, but responses have been especially positive and helpful. With such a widespread disease such as cancer, every bit of information is helpful.

Each year 12.7 million people discover they have cancer and 7.6 million people die from the disease.

This event isn’t only beneficial for those who have cancer, but also for those who would like to prevent it.

Some cancers run in the family and it’s a good idea to find out why and get ahead before it’s too late. Families all around campus grieve over losing loved ones. What is there to do afterwards?

One of the best things anyone can do is pick themselves back up and understand that just knowing signs and preparing yourself. Indiana State now has a way to make that happen.

College helps prepare students for real world STEVE WININGER Reporter Students at Indiana State University find that pursuing one’s dream of a higher education does not always come easily, but the payoff in the end is well worth it.

Some students know exactly what they want to do when they enter college, some are not sure and some change their mind about what they want to do after they start. Regardless of the specific goal, students are in college to pursue the dream of a higher education and the hope it brings about a better life after they graduate.

Many students discover after they begin their academic journey that it is more difficult than they imagined.

Sophomore communication major Emily Simpson said that she always wanted to go to college and study to be an event planner. She said she is the first person in her immediate family to attend college and success there is very important to her.

Simpson said she was certain college would be more difficult than high school, but wasn’t sure exactly how much.

“I didn’t realize it would be this hard,”

Simpson said. “This is harder than what I expected.”

Simpson cites more than just the heavy class load — she said finances are what have increased the difficulty of pursuing her dream. Besides the 18 credit hours she took last semester, she is also working two part-time jobs.

Simpson said it is definitely worth the hard work and that she has no regrets. It can be overwhelming at times, but she has no plans of giving up. Simpson also thinks that what she experiences in college is similar to how life will be after she graduates and what she experiences now will help her in the future.

“I think college is by design to help you get prepared for life after graduating,” Simpson said.

Senior communication major Trae Wilson originally came to ISU to play football. The dream he originally sought has since changed. After a coaching change and a brief transfer to the University of Indianapolis, Wilson decided to not play football once he transferred back to ISU. “My dream of football changed over the course of college,” Wilson said. “I

found that football was not as important to me as I thought it was.”

Wilson said he expected college to be hard at first, but that he figured it would get easier as he progressed.

“I did expect it to be harder than high school,” Wilson said.

Unlike Simpson, who said her greatest challenge was financial, Wilson said one of the greatest challenges he faced was time management. He said time management was hard when he played football because they were busy from very early in the morning to late in the evening.

“At first I was focused. I knew what I had to do, I was on the right track, and then all the sudden life got to me,” Wilson said. “I wanted to go out and do stuff on the weekend and did not manage time well.”

Professor Tamara Bollis-Arrington of the communication department said that the college experience has changed. “The challenges facing today’s college students are no greater or less than those my cohort and I faced in the ‘80s — but they are vastly different,” Arrington said.

Arrington said that students now have an electronic world that did not exist

when she was in college. She said they had to go to the library and physically look through documents and books to find what she needed. She also said that in the electronic world there is much more information accessible to students.

Arrington said she never got to the point as an undergraduate that she wanted to give up and quit. Arrington said that because her parents were educated and very supportive, college was a given for her, which also helped her in being prepared and getting through college.

Simpson, Wilson and Arrington all agree that some of the biggest keys to success in college are to get involved and to get to know people.

“The more people you get to know, the better your college experience will be,” Wilson said.

Simpson said that being mentally prepared is as important as being physically prepared.

“Don’t be afraid to ask questions,” Simpson said.

“Find a mentor. Find two or three if you can,” Arrington said. “Also ask lots of questions. Get to know your professors.”

School closings spell a slippery slope for students KRISTI ASHBY News Editor It’s winter and now is the time for snow and ice around Indiana State University. This means students and faculty need to know how to find out about school closings.

If it becomes necessary to close campus or cancel classes due to severe weather issues, the announcement will be made through local media, university email via ISU Connect/Special Announcement, calling the 2377777 emergency notification line, the university’s website www.indstate.edu or ISU Live video monitors.

These methods will be used to inform people about closings whether it’s an early decision made the day be-

fore or a last-minute decision made over the night hours.

RAVE text messaging alerts will be used only if severe weather develops suddenly or conditions deteriorate during the overnight hours and a decision on the university’s status is made early in the morning.

Dave Taylor, the media relations director, helps write the alerts that students, faculty and staff read.

“The university president [Dan Bradley] makes the final decision to close school or cancel classes,” Taylor said.

“If the President is not available, the Provost then makes the decision. They use the help of Public Safety and Facilities Management to decide about closings.”

This group will discuss weather issues that are coming

into the Terre Haute area and the current conditions on campus to decide whether or not classes will be held. This can include how much ice is on the roads or if parking lots can be cleared in time for students to park.

Sophomore Lindsay Roetker, a speech language pathology major, feels she found out about closings last semester more from friends and family than by finding out herself.

“I feel like RAVE alerts should be one of the first methods they use to contact students for a closing,” Roetker said. “I think it would be more efficient. ISU could advertise closings more efficiently and through different sources in my opinion, such as social media.”

ISU Community Semester: Advisers and students meet Events get students involved in Terre Haute and greet over a cup of hot chocolate Libby Roerig

ISU Communications and Marketing

Mariah Lee Reporter Indiana State University students will have an opportunity to meet with academic advisors at Hot Chocolate with University College. This meet-and-greet event will be held Wednesday on the second floor of Gillum Hall from 4 to 6 p.m.

Tracy Osborne, Director of New Student Transition Programs and Testing, said the event will help students and faculty interact.

“Hot Chocolate with University College is an opportunity for students to meet their academic advisers while enjoying a warm treat,” Osborne said.

“Students should come so that they can begin to form a good relationship with their academic adviser because advisers are more helpful than students normally perceive them to be,” Osborne said. “Advisers are more than the person you have to meet with to register for classes. They are mentors and friends.”

All the University College staff will be present at the event to meet ISU students.

“This is an informal event. It isn’t about taking care of business, it’s about forming relationships,” Osborne said.

Students interested in meeting with their advisors or just drinking hot chocolate should come out to Hot Chocolate with University College Wednesday on the second floor of Gillum Hall beginning at 4 p.m.

It’s appropriate the theme for this year’s Community Semester is “Past, Present, Future,” as the Indiana State University program is in its third year and continually looking to improve from previous experiences.

“It’s been very exciting and fulfilling to me, as the dean of the College of Arts and Sciences, to see the community be this interested about what we do,” Dean John Murray said. “We had over 4,000 people come to events in the first year, and over 5,000 come to events last year. I now have individuals asking me whether we’re doing the Community Semester again this year. People in the Wabash Valley want to see these events.”

Indeed, the university is hosting Community Semester again this year — and promising an impressive lineup of speakers and experiences.

Perhaps one of the most anticipated events is the “Anniversary of Civil Rights Act 1964: Black History Month Gala Concert,” at 7:30 p.m. Feb. 22 at the Indiana Theater. The university’s School of Music and history department will present a performance celebrating the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act. Participants can look forward to a 90-minute audio-visual experience featuring gospel, jubilee and wind arrangements, along with a performance of speeches by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. Another event marking an important anniversary — the “70th Anniversary of

the Liberation of Auschwitz: Reflections and Discussion,” at 6:30 p.m. March 5 at the CANDLES Museum — also promises to enlighten participants about the memory, history and meaning of the Holocaust.

“John Wooden: Setting the Record Straight” at 1:30 p.m. March 25, aims to do just that — present new research findings that differ significantly from the long-held standards about legendary coach and Indiana native John Wooden.

Community Semester kicks off with an opening reception 5-7 p.m. Jan. 20 at Clabber Girl, 900 Wabash Ave. Other lectures and presentations include topics such as women’s history, the Wabash River, Eugene Debs, oil research and development in Terre Haute and African drumming.

“This series a great fit for the College of Arts and Sciences, because it literally delivers the content from the arts and sciences to the community of Terre Haute and the Wabash Valley,” Murray said. “By having lectures, concerts, panel discussions, etc., available to the community [virtually all for free], the community can see how the disciplines in arts and sciences are relevant to their lives and to the world!”

Community Semester was created from the idea of a themed semester, putting a Sycamore spin on it, of course. After all, community engagement is something the Indiana State does best, so introducing similar programming was a natural fit, organizers say.

“It’s also a way to reassert the unique mission of arts and sciences — what do

we do in relation to the rest of ISU,” said Isaac Land, associate professor of history and Community Semester facilitator.

Collaboration — between university departments and community organizations — remains integral to Community Semester.

“Although we all basically know that Indiana State plays an important role in the life of Terre Haute, the Wabash Valley, the state and beyond, the Community Semester provides a forum to highlight those vital links,” said Steven Stofferahn, associate professor of history and facilitator of the first two Community Semesters. “For my own part, coordinating the program allowed me to see and appreciate those connections more clearly than before and got me even more excited about the ongoing work of the College of Arts and Sciences.”

Many of the Community Semester events are designed to occur off-campus — such as a Native American-themed event at Dobbs Park Nature Center — which helps ease some difficulties and anxieties about navigating the campus and parking.

Experiential learning — another of Indiana State’s mantras — fits in nicely with the goals of Community Semester, too. For example, this year, Lisa Phillips, associate professor of history, will copresent with history majors about the Vigo County Home, also known as the Poor Farm. And the African drumming event, is “as much about teaching kids as it is about drumming itself,” featuring Indiana State students working alongside faculty, Land said.

Soup and Substance lunch opens doors for ISU commuters Nathan Kasper Reporter This Wednesday Indiana State University’s Commuter Services will host their annual Soup and Substance lunch. This event will take place in the Commuter Lounge in Hulman Memorial Student Union from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m.

ISU’s Commuter Services hosts this event monthly and usually features a particular service offered by ISU to students who commute to campus. Free

lunch is provided as well, usually by Sodexo dining services. Sometimes, there are even prizes to be won.

This event provides commuter students with the opportunity to meet other commuter students and Commuter Services staff members, as well as provide opportunities to get involved in different ways on campus and give commuter students a voice at ISU. Heidi Kasper, a freshman pre-veterinary major, said she enjoyed attending Soup

and Substance events last semester. looking to make new friends or just “I liked having the event in the a hungry college student, Soup and commuter lounge because it’s nice to Substance is for you. relax and have lunch in a smaller, quieter area,” Kasper said.

There is, however, a downside.

“They have a great selection of food, but it goes really fast, so I think they need to have more. If you’re not there right when it starts you’ll probably be too late,” Kasper said.

State sends students to Summer Symposium Indiana State University is partnering with Association for Educational Communications and Technology to organize the AECT-LKAOE 2015 Summer International Research Symposium in Shanghai, China.

The symposium, which takes place June 17-19, will be hosted at East China Normal University to discuss learning and knowledge analytics in open education with university and other school faculty and students across the globe.

“It will be truly international with scholars in educational technology from around the world presenting at the symposium,” said Dr. Feng-Qi Lai, Indiana State professor in the department of curriculum, instruction and media technology as the symposium’s planner and general chairwoman. “When people leave the symposium, they will get a great amount of knowledge about educational technology. It will help all attendees in developing their own programs at their institutions and guide them in the direction of where the field of educational technology is headed.”

Proposals have been submitted from people in the educational technology around the world, including 11 of Lai’s doctoral students at Indiana State: Donna Crawford, Brian Zuel, Haisong

Ye, Xiaoxiao Feng, Jean Trusedell, Lijun Cui, Lisa Hughes, Bradley Countermine, Renee Bauer, Lei Zhang, and YeonHee Chae.

Lai will also serve as a special session speaker, along with Phillip Harris, Association for Educational Communications and Technology; Richard Cornell, University of Central Florida; and Youqun Ren, East China Normal University.

Keynote speakers will include: David Wiley, Brigham Young University; Curtis Bonk, Indiana University; Jan Herrington, Murdoch University; and John Traxler, University of Wolverhampton.

Invited speakers will be: Michael Spector, University of North Texas; Yanyan Li, Beijing Normal University; Xiaoqing Gu, East China Normal University; Vanessa Dennen, Florida State University; Jianli Jiao, South China Normal University; Marcus Childress, Baker University; Ana Donaldson, Walden University; Stephen Harmon, Georgia State University; Yan Li, Zhejiang University; Robert Branch, University of Georgia; Wilhelmina Savenye, Arizona State University; Robert A. Reiser, Florida State University; Kaili Wang, Shenyang Normal University; M. David Merrill, Utah State University; and Ke Zhang, Wayne

State University.

Lai, who is one of the founders and a former president of the Society of International Chinese in Educational Technology [SICET], spent a decade doing service for AECT — the most prestigious academic organization in the educational technology field.

In 2004, SICET became an affiliated organization of AECT and in 2015 started its first international conference as an AECT division in the U.S., where it has been held every year.

“All of the AECT conferences and symposiums had happened inside the United States, but there was a push to make it a truly international conference by hosting it in another country so the symposium was held in Taiwan in 2013,” Lai said. “I was asked if I could get a university to host the symposium in 2015 in China. I came to the U.S. from China, I was a born and grew up in Shanghai and for 10 years was a professor at the university in Shanghai, where I have former students working in various educational areas.”

Lai spoke to officials at East China Normal University about the prospect of hosting the symposium, which she said they found impressive because AECT is well-known in China.

e m o c Wel S

s t n e d u t

“If a university can host a conference for AECT, it enhances the university’s name,” Lai said.

She sent AECT a formal proposal, including a theme, rational and keynote speakers, and was reward for her work when AECT’s executive director and the board accepted her proposal and made the symposium a partnership with Indiana State and President Dan Bradley was invited as one of the honorary chairperson.

“Because our students are the most important people to have in academic activities, I also encouraged our students to submit proposals and guided them in how they needed to do research for the presentation proposal,” Lai said.

While there’s still work to be completed before the event, Lai’s glad to see everything coming together.

“I’m happy when I think about it because I believe it is worth my time and effort,” she said. “I look at this as my contribution to global education, especially in the educational technology field.”

Rec Center to preview Group X programs

ADLER INGALSBE Reporter

The Indiana State University Recreation Center will be ringing in the new semester by holding a Group Xpo Wednesday from 5 to 7 p.m. on the Student Rec Center’s basketball courts.

Kimberly Monte, Assistant Director of the Recreation Center, wants people to give Group X classes a chance.

“The goal for doing the Group Xpo is to get students and faculty to give the Group X classes that will be offered during the spring semester a chance in hopes of them wanting to participate in the regular classes,” Monte said.

“The objective is to showcase our program, give people a sample of the types of classes offered, and generate interest from people who have not tried a Group X class,” she said. “By holding the Xpo in the gym it lets us showcase the types of workouts our classes offer and highlights our fantastic instructors.”

Hannah Stiller, recreation sports fitness graduate assistant, said there will be a preview of each class lasting close to 15 minutes with students and staff being able to try out however many they want.

“Group Xpo is about giving Rec Center patrons an idea of what our Group X program includes, without forcing everyone to participate in a full class,” she said. “The classes featured in the Xpo only last 12-15 minutes each in order for participants to try as many classes as they want. If they don’t like the class, a new one will be featured 15 minutes later.”

“There are several different instructors teaching during the Xpo. We try to highlight and feature as many of our instruc-

tors as possible so our patrons can get to know them before deciding to take a full Group X class,” Stiller said.

Meghan Mattingly, a Zumba instructor at the Rec Center, said she is looking forward to the Group Xpo and emphasized that she and the other instructors want to create a fun environment while helping patrons live a healthy life.

“I am demonstrating my Zumba class, which is a cardio endurance class that revolves around dancing. I love teaching at the Rec and I know all of the other instructors are just as passionate. We want people to enjoy a healthy lifestyle and keep people fit; that’s why we offer endless classes at the Rec,” she said.

There will be a total of eight classes being taught.

“Tabata and SRC 500 Boot Camp are the new classes that we are offering. Tabata is an interval-style class and the SRC 500 Boot Camp class is geared to help patrons prepare and train for our SRC 500 Fitness Challenge coming up on March 7. Other classes featured will be Zumba, Abs, Body Pump, Total Body Workout, Yoga and Kettlebells, but they are not new to our program,” Stiller said.

The Group Xpo at the Rec Center is free with giveaways for participants.

‘Charlie’: Free speech bids adieu Millions rally across the world in support of French satirical publication, but to what end?

Many of you have likely heard about the Charlie Hebdo attack; if you haven’t, here is a quick recap. Charlie Hebdo is a French satirical magazine that pokes fun at everything, similar to MAD but with slightly less sophomoric humor.

Recently Islamic gunmen stormed the magazine’s Columnist headquarters, shooting and killing several people. This was followed by attacks on police officers and a kosher supermarket.

Naturally, many people have gathered around to support Charlie Hebdo and the 17 people murdered in the wake of this tragedy. In fact, the rally of support that took place recently had participants numbering over three million, making it the biggest rally in French history. There were also rallies held in England, Germany, Canada, the U.S and Spain, all specifically rallying in support of freedom of speech and coexistence — as opposed to potentially being anti-Muslim. Madrid even had a rally of Muslims holding signs saying “not in our name,” decrying the actions of the gunmen.

A powerful gesture, but what does it ultimately do? Jim Norton, in an article for Time magazine, argued that while the support and sentiment following the attacks is nice, it does feel too little too late.

We should be more supportive of unpopular or uncouth speech before there is a tragedy, or at least acknowledge them as courageous before they take a bullet.

Plantu, one of the major satirists for

Jake Porter

the magazine, has stated that Hebdo will continue going strong, and the magazine as a whole has stated that they will not give in because they “can’t allow stupidity to win.”

Still, I have heard others actually say they’re disappointed the magazine didn’t get shut down, or that the shooters didn’t take more out because they feel the magazine often has sexist or racist jokes. So what are we to make of all this? IS freedom of speech worth dying over? Are people complacent toward struggle unless our mortality is proven to them? Is violent action justified if you want something changed?

In four words: yes, yes, Gods no. Freedom of speech is worth dying and fighting for, not because “gay jokes are awesome” or something to that effect, but because without free speech, there are no new ideas, no philosophies and no cultures that we can find, create or use to better life for someone or everyone. And sure, fart jokes and satire might not seem like much in the grand scheme of things, but can you imagine what life would be like if everything was politically correct?

Boring as math class, that’s what. Life would be dull and boring and nothing would ever get done because everyone would be too worried about offending others.

A favorite quote of mine is Stephen Fry’s “People say ‘I’m offended by that,’ so what?” Being offended doesn’t give you or anyone else special powers. It just means you can’t handle that someone doesn’t agree with you or take everything about you seriously, so you demand that everyone else change their attitude so you — one person out of seven billion —

can feel slightly more important than you likely really are.

Remember, dear readers, you are not special in any way outside of the capacity of control you have over yourself, and someday you will die and the universe will move on, and that’s OK. Bad jokes and satire are just as necessary as idealistic rhetoric or unbiased news because it helps remind us to not be so serious.

Which brings me to the people who want Charlie Hebdo shut down because they don’t like the mean words they read.

What I get a kick out of is that the people who are hating on Hebdo are liberals who usually promote tolerance. Let me clarify: freedom of speech does not mean “freedom to hear only what you want to hear.” That’s the definition of freedom to censor.

If we want free speech, we are going to have to deal with hearing things we don’t want to hear. I despise modern country music with such passion I’m contemplating having my epitaph read “A pox on Dierks Bentley.” But if someone showed me a petition t o g e t rid of country music, I’d tell them t o get bent because I know others like the terrible music that I hate, and I don’t see why they — and those whose livelihoods rely on the country music industry — should be subjected to my will when they haven’t done anything wrong aside from

offending my sensibilities. Like I said before, who cares?

So what about Jim Norton’s observations on people’s apathy toward unpopular speech? Well, unfortunately it’s a side effect of freedom of speech that when people hear things they don’t like, they’ll usually ignore it. Then crazies come in and kill folk instead of just ignoring it, and the ignorers feel terrible for the dead.

It’s important to remember that people as a whole are sheep, and apathy is just easier than delving deep into the philosophical question of whether or not gay jokes are appropriate for TV. It sucks, but that’s the simple truth.

So what is the point of people rallying in the millions to show support for 17 dead people? The point is to say, “We don’t care what you say, you should be allowed to say it.” That’s the greatest sentiment in the world, and we should all join those millions in remembrance and honor those who were killed for the “crime” of having an opinion and the courage to let it be known.

Vaccines important to staying healthy, reaching goals Zachery Davis

Columnist

As the new semester starts, we find have goals we want to accomplish.

Some people want to get an internship or job. Seniors are on their way to graduation. We are just hoping we can make it through the semester, doing what we need to without problems. But if we get sick suddenly it can slow us down, maybe even block us from our goals.

So what can we do to not

get sick?

To avoid getting sick we need to consider all of our options. There are some simple, widely accepted things we can do, such as washing our hands, eating healthy and cleaning regularly.

Just as everything else there are also some controversial methods to help ward off illness. The one that springs to mind first is the vaccine.

Many people don’t want to get vaccines for various reasons. Some people don’t morally believe in vaccination while others think that the vaccine itself will get them sick, but there are multiple reasons why everyone should keep up to date with their vaccines.

The first reason vaccines are important is probably the most obvious: it helps keep you from getting sick. A vaccine gives your body a method of creating antibodies for diseases.

Vaccines work by introducing a weakened or dead version of a germ, which brings illness into the host’s body. These germs are unable to fight the host’s immune system, so the body immediately overpowers them and gains the information it needs in the form of antibodies to fight off the disease in the future. So no, the vaccines cannot make a host ill. Of course you can always gain the same antibodies by getting infected by the disease

itself, but then you are sick and at risk to become permanently disabled or even die. Is it really worth the risk?

Getting vaccinated can not only reduce your risk of getting sick, but it can help reduce the risk of others getting sick as well. When you can avoid getting sick you don’t have to expose others to the same germs, which helps maintain their health and keep their risk of infection down.

This is especially important for those who are regularly around infants and toddlers. In this age bracket the immune system is not yet able to fight off a lot of diseases. Many illnesses can easily kill a child this young.

It’s extremely important to be vaccinated if you are around young children to decrease the chance of them getting exposed and sick. So by helping yourself you are also helping keep others healthy and safe.

Not only is there a practical reason for having vaccines, but it greatly widens your chances to get into a school or maintain a job. Vaccines are becoming a standard necessity in the world just to live. As a matter of fact, Indiana State University requires the Measles, Mumps and Rubella, tetanus vaccine and others and requires tuberculosis tests for certain students.

Jobs will also require specific vaccinations based on the risk of being exposed to a certain disease. For example, those who work in the medical field require a much larger array of vaccinations because they are exposed to more pathogens. People who work with a lot of metal may be required to have a tetanus vaccine.

Everyone should keep their vaccination records up to date. Whether you decide to do it because you don’t want to get sick, you are worried about others or you just want to land that job, vaccinations will help you accomplish what you want one way or another. Help us all out by doing it.

College: a time for growth, grades and gratitude Many think of college as the necessary stepping stone from high school into a respectable profession.

Our higher education is shaped by the people we meet and the experiences we have within a select time frame, whether it be short, long or unfinColumnist ished.

While there is endless knowledge to be gained and applied, college isn’t defined by the end-pages of our ridiculously priced textbooks.

It’s what happens between the lines that define our experience individually.

College is not only the continuation of our education, but the combination of failure, success and fear.

Within it lies not only the opportunity to earn a degree, but to learn incomparable lessons that exceed any given title or earned GPA. As a sophomore in college I have started to compile a running list of lessons, memories and moments packed with passionate vitality that sum up, thus far, my growth as a student, friend and individual.

Out of them all there are three that I have found prove the most powerful and are able to withstand controversy and overcome failure.

The friends you make in college

Kirstyn Quandt

challenge you.

Politics run high school. From the court to the classroom, a last name and the success, or lack thereof, from siblings creates your identity before you get there yourself. Life isn’t fair and as a high school student it becomes painfully evident before you have time to brace yourself for its impact.

This truth shapes those years in a way that can hinder or elevate the experience.

It’s easy while you’re enduring these struggles to build up hate towards those you believe are against you, but looking back you will find that it doesn’t do you any good to waste your time and energy. Instead, it adds fuel to a very dangerous fire.

From your roommate to your first class with 30 new faces, you come to realize that college attracts a multitude of personalities, backgrounds and ideas.

Without thinking, you quickly align yourself with others who share similar interests through outside organizations and study groups within classes.

When you find someone who has the same academic drive and sense of humor, you realize that friendship isn’t a Monday-through-Friday commitment like high school projected it to be.

“

Instead, it’s a long-lasting connection that you choose and grow alongside with.

My two best friends are strong, intelligent women who challenge me day in and day out to not only excel as a student but as a sorority woman, family member and friend.

I was fortunate enough to meet them both my freshman year and it is their continuous faith and encouragement that constitutes a true friendship, one that can only be found in the midst of finding yourself in college.

Not everyone came to college for the right reasons.

While your priorities may be straight, not everyone shares your values and willingness to learn.

It’s evident from your first class when the person next to you is asleep on their textbook as you are scrambling to copy the PowerPoint notes verbatim.

Instead, many people are here for all of the wrong reasons. It’s important to differentiate between those wanting to challenge themselves and those here to slide by and take others downhill with them.

As the seats get farther back in the classroom, often so does the motivation.

However, the beauty of college is that

Leaving home causes you to assess your priorities and what you are going to put total mind, soul and heart into.

ISU WELCOME BACK

everyone finds their niche.

The “Breakfast Club” mantra still holds true in that here will always be the jock, the nerd, the basket case, the princess and the criminals.

But in college you have a choice, and who you choose to surround yourself with not only speaks to your character, but can forecast the success of your college experience.

I should have thanked my parents a lot more.

It was easy in high school to let petty drama and miniscule worries consume your day-to-day life.

Leaving home causes you to assess your priorities and what you are going to put total mind, soul and heart into.

When a four-hour drive turns into 13, you realize just how fortunate you were living at home.

From home-cooked meals to free laundry, what once seemed sufficient is now craved.

Text messages have quickly transformed into long phone calls and what seemed like a long winter break doesn’t seem so long anymore.

There isn’t a day I go without talking to my mom on the phone and sometimes my rants necessitate multiple chats per day.

It’s amazing to reflect and realize how much I took for granted just a few years ago.

Even if I said ‘thank you’ up until my college loans were paid off, it still wouldn’t be enough.

Achieving goals a matter of attitude, action Everybody has their element; just like fish do better in water than in the air, some Sycamores do better in the Science building than in the Rec Center. No matter what your lane is, you have to have a vision. We have all been asked “where do you see yourself in five years?” The answer to that question is where your vision lies.

Here’s a handful of tips that will help you reach that vision quickly and with a good attitude.

Be flexible; you want to reach your Columnist goals the best way you can. This means that although not everything you want is before you to begin with, you can use what you do have in order to succeed. Analyze your situation and deliberate on your best course of action.

Make choices that lead you toward your vision. Only you can define the steps to take in order to protect your

Mason Moton

future. If you want to keep a six-figure job that drug tests employees, then don’t smoke weed while you hang out with your friends. Protecting your future requires strength not to do the things that threaten the likelihood of you getting what you want. Granted we all think differently, but with the right perspective we all can get to our dreams more quickly.

Rely on your connections and distance yourself from distractions. Friends and opponents will always be around.

Some you make sooner than others, but as long as you remain who you truly are, not trying to impress others by pretending to be something you are not, you will be able to see the difference between the two and live happily.

Tragedies happen, both nationally and nearby, but it’s important not to get engulfed in emotion. Don’t let the unexpected lead you away from what you expect.

Don’t let tragedies trip you on the road to your vision.

See the good in what you do. It’s hard to make sense

of some things, but if you want to continue with a good attitude, then you have to make sense of some things by realizing the most good that can come out of what happened. Developing the negatives makes for better pictures.

Choose the path where you will reap the greatest rewards. Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. had a choice to make once he graduated college.

It was either go and preach in the North where everything was copasetic or go in the South where there was certain danger and uncertain peace. Don’t let fear turn you from your vision.

As a Sycamore Visionary, you must walk the route that leads you to your goals, regardless of its difficulty.

You have to learn to live your dream. One thing about achieving is that the road is made to run you ragged.

It’s a climb, and you and I cannot have the luxury of simply walking up that hill. If we remember why we started climbing in the first place, we can hold out until we reach the top.

Starting the new year with new safety measures As the months get colder we all hunker down and bundle up — for some, though, that means to strap up. I am talking about carrying firearms or concealed carry for personal protection.

This is a hot-button issue for many Americans from all walks of life. Some think everyone should carry a gun and others think that if no one had them then everyone would be safe from violent crime.

Yet, just as New Year’s Eve was just getting started, a law-abiding citizen Columnist was gunned down in a Wal-Mart in Blackfoot, Idaho. This shooting was not because of some gang war or drug deal gone wrong but because a woman had mishandled her firearm — she was shot by her 2-year-old child in an accident that could have been avoided.

The mother of the 2-year-old child had a concealed carry permit and carried a handgun in her purse on a regular basis. She would carry her gun to protect her and her three small children if the situation would arise. On this unlucky morning she left her child and gun unattended in the cart while shopping. This terrible mistake caused many to question the current gun laws that we have in place.

Many believe that we as law abiding citizens should either have our right to carry taken away or make the process much more difficult to get a concealed carry

T.C. Wampler

license. As an avid gun rights activist I do not think strict gun control would make people safer, nor would abolishing the second amendment do anything. These laws would only make it much harder for regular people to obtain firearms to use in case of emergency.

In the case of the mother being shot in Wal-Mart, no one is at fault except the mother. As harsh as that sounds, she left her child unattended with a loaded weapon inches away from them. I support her choice to carry the weapon and use it for self-defense but she should be keeping it on her person, not in her bag.

When something like this happens, the anti-gunners run back to the drawing board to explain how strict gun laws make it much harder for people to obtain guns and could have prevented this from happening.

Except when we talk about criminals and their ability to obtain illegal weapons easily.

Strict gun laws do not make it hard for criminals to walk down the street, see their criminal buddies and get a weapon. But for you and I the process is long, hard to navigate, and creates more problems than it is worth. The way I was taught from a young age is that safety is key with real, fake, bb or paintball guns. We should not be looking for strict laws but more training for those getting the gun.

I am deeply proud to live in a country and state that allows me to go to the gun store and purchase any weapon I want with the correct paperwork. Safety training will always be better than any sort of gun law making it hard for someone to purchase a weapon.

With winter upon us, many are beginning to strap down with new choices of protection (Photo by Clipart.com).

There are examples all around the nation of strict and lax gun laws.

In 2011, Illinois had 377 firearm murders while Indiana had 183 deaths. Since Illinois had such strict laws in 2011 why are their firearm death rates almost 100 more than Indiana? I think the discrepancy is because of the changes in how each state has their own laws and justify them in their own way. Yet, we can see that there is a difference between the two states so close to each other and so far apart at the same time.

Axelrod to kick off second stretch of University Speakers Former presidential adviser David Axelrod will kick off the second half of the 2014-15 University Speakers Series at Indiana State University at 7 p.m. Feb. 5 in Tilson Auditorium.

His topic will be “Witness to History: Leadership Lessons from a Presidential Adviser.”

From the financial crisis and the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan to the fight for health care reform and the unsettled situation in the Middle East, the Obama Administration has been faced with issues of enormous consequences.

As President Obama’s senior adviser, Axelrod worked 20 feet from the Oval Office and now gives audiences a behind-the-scenes look at life in the White House and what he has learned from his experiences on the world stage.

Axelrod served as senior strategist to President Obama’s campaigns in 2008 and 2012, as senior adviser for the Obama-Biden transition and senior advisor to Obama during his first two years as president. He had previously served as a top political adviser to President Clinton.

He is now director of the Institute of Politics at the University of Chicago and is a senior political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC. He was recently inducted into The American Association of Political Consultants’ Hall of Fame.

During his time at the White House, Axelrod was the administration’s most frequent presence on the influential Sunday television talk shows. He also appeared several times on “The Tonight Show,” “The Daily Show with Jon Stewart” and “The Late Show with David Letterman” just to name a few.

From 1988 to 2008, Axelrod was

David Axelrod

the founder and senior partner at the consulting firm AKPD Message and Media, based in Chicago. In that capacity, he managed media strategy and communications for more than 150 local, state and national campaigns, with a focus on progressive candidates and causes.

In 2006, Axelrod ran the independent expenditure media program for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, helping Democrats regain the majority in the House of Representatives. That same year, Axelrod served as media adviser to Deval Patrick, who was elected Massachusetts’ first Democratic governor in 16 years and the state’s first African-American governor.

In 2004, when President Obama was a member of the Illinois state senate, Axelrod helped him defeat a primary field of six other Democrats and go on to a landslide win in his U.S. Senate campaign.

Before entering politics in 1984, Axelrod spent eight years as a reporter for The Chicago Tribune, where he covered national, state and local politics.

In 1981, he became the youngest political writer and columnist in the paper’s history. He also served as the Tribune’s City Hall bureau chief.

Active in charitable work in Chicago, Axelrod has supported Special Olympics and Misericordia. In 1998, he and his wife, Susan, helped found Citizens United for Research in Epilepsy [CURE], which has raised more than $26 million for scientists searching for a cure.

Like all University Speakers Series events, Axelrod’s appearance at Indiana State is free and open to the public. No tickets are required.

CANDLES Museum welcomes new technology for exhibit Kristen Kilker

addition to lectures from Kor herself.

The tablets are professionally done, visually appealing and appropriate,” Chambers said. “They [the students] just did a great job. Whenever I had questions, they could answer them or find the answers, and it’s just been a really positive experience.”

The students and the university also benefited from the task. During one of their final class meetings, students shared their feelings on the project.

“It was a really cool experience to be able to tell [Kor’s] story and allow other people who come to the museum to experience that as well,” said Brandon Tryon, a senior computer engineering and information technology major from Coatesville, Indiana.

For some of the students, Wuerzburger noted, the project was their first volunteer experience.

Gregory valued his experience with CANDLES and the class, which has a big impact on the students’ career goals.

The hands-on work also benefited

students significantly.

“A big thing for me was that I took the start-up class for this last semester, so I kind of learned how to work with it, and being able to work and create something for the community was definitely a positive way to look at taking the class,” he said. “It opened up the idea for something I could potentially turn into a career. It was extremely interesting and worth my time.”

Kate Daiker’s role in the project made the senior information technology major from Columbus, Indiana, realize that she enjoyed relaying information from the technical. She was among several students who opted to take the class multiple semesters.

“One of the biggest things was that it showed me one thing I really want to do when I get my job.” Daiker said. “I like being able to figure out requirements and being able to talk between people who don’t know much about technology and the people dealing with technology — so being able to translate that is one thing

you kind of learn doing this, which is really fun.”

Trey Holland, a junior information technology major from Peru, Indiana, enjoyed returning to the course because “even though you’re doing the same stuff, it’s not really the same each time — it’s been a different project that has different goals, different struggles and everything, so it’s just kind of a big learning experience so it’s nice. You work with different people each time.”

At the end of their class, Chambers arrived with pizza as a way to show her gratitude for the student’s work.

The benefits of the partnership between the university and CANDLES — whose shared goal is to educate and enrich the community — are as diverse for the partner organizations as for the students.

“ISU has a wealth of resources both in terms of its faculty and the students who come from all over the world, so together it makes sense to work on human

When Terre Haute’s CANDLES Holocaust Museum and Education Center was preparing for the grand opening of its new permanent exhibit, founding Director Eva Kor and Dorothy Chambers, the museum’ program director, knew exactly what they wanted for the important night.

“We didn’t want to just have posters on the wall,” Chambers said. “We wanted to do something different, relay information in a different way; more interactive. And we wanted to put information on tablets.

None of us at the museum have any sort of computer background, per se, so we were trying to figure out for quite a while how we were going to do it.”

An Indiana State University student who works at the museum part-time knew about an Android applications class in the university’s College of Technology.

Chambers contacted the instructor of the class, Jared Wuerzberger, and the CANDLES Continued on PAGE 15 full-time lecturer in the department of computer engineering technology was happy to have his class take on the task of designing a series of applications to guide museum visitors using tablet computers.

Wuerzburger and his class were surprised and, at first, skeptical that such an amazing opportunity had ended up in his inbox, but they followed Chamber’s lead and came out of the 12-week process with the tablet applications that would make “Choices: the Holocaust through Eva’s Story” everything that the museum hoped it would be.

“There are three different apps,” said Jacob Gregory, a junior information technology major from Mooreland, Indiana. “Three different exhibits that we did all display a different chunk of information.”

One tablet is an audio recording of Kor’s recollection of her time at Auschwitz, the Nazi Concentration and Extermination Camp operated in German-occupied Poland.

The other two tablets are video clips; one detailing the history of the rise of Nazism, and the other application focusing on the controversy that surrounded Kor’s decision to forgive the Nazis.

The audio-visual experience enhanced the already-interactive approach the Students trying out the new technology system at the CANDLES Museum using tablets to gain a more interactive learning experience, museum takes to educate visitors, in created by ISU technology students.

issues, issues of social justice and awareness — things of that nature,” she said.

Chambers said it benefits the museum greatly any time students at any level become involved.

“It’s important for us to be strong in the community — we will only thrive if the community supports us, and conversely we hope that we can contribute to the university,” she said. “The more young people we can get involved in the museum, the better, not only in terms of our message, but in terms of the freshness and different ideas that keep us in touch with what’s going on.”

“CANDLES and Indiana State have long worked together but formalized a three-year partnership last spring, and both sides have been seeking ways to strengthen the relationship, forge new ties,” Chambers said. “We’ve been doing lectures and other things, but this [apps project] is really, I think, one of the most important aspects of the partnership, that we can do things like this together.”

Wuerzburger noted that Indiana State has a history of volunteering and adding to the Wabash Valley in whatever shape

Wuerzburger’s application class, though fairly recent, has always been willing to aid any organization that asks, though at this point the class has been fulfilling projects unfunded.

“We would love any kind of funding or devices,” he said. “[The students] are either using personal devices to do testing on or the department has tablet computers that we can use, but this project was weirdly unique in that these aren’t applications that the public would see unless they go to the museum. So we designed these applications for a certain brand and a certain model of tablet for free. Dorothy Chambers purchased these on behalf of the museum and gave them to us so that we can do the work.”

However, the class remains unfettered and willing to make these sacrifices to help the community, Wuerzberger said.

ISU superb for oceanographic research Professor and students study benthic foraminifera Indiana might not be the first place one would think of to conduct oceanographic research, but for South American doctoral student Jorge Cardich, who has his choice of institutions worldwide, Indiana State University is the perfect spot.

Cardich spent two weeks in Terre Haute recently, collaborating with geology professor Tony Rathburn and his students and examining some samples Rathburn had collected off Costa Rica.

“My main goal was to get more samples for my Ph.D. thesis, and it went all perfect. I also wanted to discuss some of my results with Tony and define better how my work is going,” Cardich said. “I work with very small organisms from the sea bottom called benthic foraminifera. My work consists of better understanding their ecology and determining environmental indicators based on the species.”

The Costa Rica samples Rathburn has were of particular interest to Cardich, as this area of the ocean is one of the focuses of his research at the prestigious Universidade Federal Fluminense in Rio de Janeiro, where he is a student.

“The particular oceanic areas where I work are ... characterized by extreme or total oxygen-deficient settings [oxygen minimum zones or OMZ] and are linked to global climate changes through biogeochemical cycles,” Cardich said. “How these OMZs have changed in time is the center of attention for paleoceanographers and paleoclimatologists, and we can depict these changes from using benthic foraminifera.”

Rathburn and his students say the relationship is mutually beneficial to Sycamores.

“In the lab, we have another graduate student working on a project in an oxygen minimum zone off the coast of California,” said Ashley Burkett, a spatial

and earth sciences doctoral student in Rathburn’s lab. “I think this is a great opportunity for both of them to have some good conversations with other students focused on the same area of research.”

Burkett, of Toledo, Ohio, helped collect some of the samples Cardich examined and based her masters research and an important portion of her dissertation on other samples collected in the same region.

“When I first arrived at ISU, I assisted another student in picking a sample from the Costa Rican oxygen minimum zone,” she said. “The memories of picking those samples still stick with me. There were so many foraminifera in the sample, I was just amazed!”

This is Cardich’s second visit to Indiana State. Rathburn and Cardich met at a

foraminifera conference in Germany when Cardich was a masters student in Peru. That encounter prompted him to train in Rathburn’s lab in 2012, and in 2013, Rathburn gave a weeklong workshop in Peru for South American graduate students, including Cardich.

Rathburn has also served as an advisor for Cardich’s graduate work, both master’s and Ph.D. “The U.S.A. brings many benefits to me talking about science. For my working area, I can tell that most of the high-level institutions, universities and laboratories and scientists are located here,” Cardich said. “I [revere] Tony for his support and admire him for all the work he’s done. He’s always been a really excellent person, professor and friend.”

As serious as Rathburn, his students and Cardich are about their research, the

visit wasn’t entirely confined to the lab.

“We have tried to show him around Terre Haute while he is here,” Burkett said. “We managed to go to the Terre Haute Symphony Orchestra Christmas performance, visit the reindeer at the Vigo County public library and visit friends at 7th and Elm.” During his last visit, Cardich tried his hand at snowboarding. It didn’t go so well, he said with a laugh, so this time they skipped that excursion.

“We introduced him to some winter comfort foods,” Burkett said. “He has tried three different types of chili [spicy, sweet and Cincinnati style], homemade chicken pot pie, apple cider and even homemade pumpkin pie!”

Student-scientists study sea-floor seeps Elise Lima ISU Communications and Marketing Methane seeps — ever heard of them?

You might have this past summer. That’s when the national news media featured stories about a recent discovery of hundreds of methane seeps — where methane gas bubbles up from the sea floor — in the North Atlantic Ocean. The discussion about this scientific find typically turned to important questions about the methane’s impact on climate change, but there is another interesting question about methane seeps.

What are the creatures and ecosystems that exist there?

Researchers at Indiana State University have been studying methane seep ecosystems for a number of years, making trips underwater to investigate the unique association of organisms that live there.

On their most recent trip to study seeps, Indiana State scientists made a big discovery regarding a tiny creature that lives in both seep and non-seep habitats.

In collaboration with Scripps Institute of Oceanography and California Institute of Technology, an Indiana State professor, graduate and undergraduate students embarked on a series of cruises to the methane seeps near Oregon and Costa Rica in 2010. With little previously known about the biological communities living in and around the rocks common in these deep-sea environments, researchers pursued a variety of investigations to learn more about the organisms and ecosystems at different seep habitats and nearby non-seep environments.

One investigation, led by Indiana State professor Tony

Rathburn and doctoral student Ashley Burkett, stumbled upon an overabundance of a microscopic organism — a species of “benthic foraminifera” — that could change how scientists understand past environments.

“We found over 1,000 individuals of this specific species,” Burkett said. “The species is really interesting for us, and it’s used to figure out what the climate was like in the geologic past.”

Living on the sea floor, benthic foraminifera are microscopic creatures that produce an equally microscopic shell. The particular species of foraminifera that Rathburn and Burkett found was previously thought only to live in environments with high levels of dissolved oxygen. When scientists have found the shells of this creature in the fossil record, they have thought that the presence of the species indicated a well-oxygenated environment at a specific time in geologic history. With that idea in mind, scientists have developed a concept of what the ocean and climate was like in the past.

So, finding this species in abundance in both seep and non-seep environments where oxygen is limited was unexpected. Based on their research, Rathburn and Burkett speculate that it’s not the abundance of oxygen that determines where these creatures are located. It may simply be that they’re present where there are hard surfaces on the sea floor for them to live on.

“Scientists have used the presence of the species as an indicator of well-oxygenated environments,” Burkett said. “But this may not be the case. It may have been that there was an absence of nice rocks to colonize in the soupy sediments of poorly oxygenated environments.”

This important find was also just as unintended as

it was unexpected. Rathburn and Burkett came upon these foraminifera while conducting a multifaceted seafloor experiment.

Their original intent was to determine how long the tissue of foraminifera would remain on the sea floor after death. But to their delight, they got more than they asked for thanks to, of all things, plastic.

For their original experiment, they had placed test subjects inside a steel cage wrapped in plastic mesh, and this contraption was pushed half way into the sea floor sediment. Rathburn and Burkett chose the plastic mesh because it was durable, easy to use and wouldn’t deteriorate quickly. But it turns out that the mesh was a foraminifera magnet — after a year on the sea floor, the creatures had colonized on the plastic.

“We pulled the cages up [from the sea floor], and I started to disassemble them. We were looking at the tops of the cages and commented that there was all this goo on them .... One of us said, ‘We should look at this.’”

And look she did. Using a microscope, Burkett examined the “goo” and discovered this unexpected creature.

Many hours were spent painstakingly picking off all the foraminifera — about a thousand of them — from the cages, and examining the data.

Burkett presented her surprise findings this past October to the scientific community at a meeting of the Geologic Society of America in Vancouver, Canada. The response was positive.

“At this meeting, we shocked people with our results,” Rathburn said. “[Our research] will shake up our ideas about how to use these creatures in the interpretation of the environments of the past.”

Indiana State a leader in service learning again Dave Taylor

ISU Communications and Marketing The prestigious Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has reaffirmed Indiana State University’s status as a national leader in service learning.

The foundation included Indiana State among a select group of colleges and universities to once again receive its community engagement classification for 2015.

Announcement of the designation, which is valid for 10 years, caps a yearlong process in which faculty and staff prepared an extensive application documenting the university’s progress in strengthening and expanding its commitment to incorporating community collaboration, outreach and partnerships in academic programs since first being awarded the classification nearly a de-

cade ago.

Indiana State demonstrates “excellent alignment among campus mission, culture, leadership, resources and practices that support dynamic and noteworthy community engagement,” Carnegie Foundation President Anthony Bryk said in a letter to university officials.

Only 62 institutions received the designation when it was created in 2006. Following today’s release of the 2015 classifications, more than 360 colleges and universities are included in the community engagement category.

“It is heartening to see this level of commitment and activity,” Bryk said.

“Clearly, higher education is making significant strides in finding ways to engage with and contribute to important community agendas.”

Unlike the foundation’s regular clas-

sifications, which rely on national data, the community engagement category is elective, meaning colleges and universities chose to put themselves under added scrutiny.

Indiana State has strengthened its commitment to community engagement in a variety of ways since the original classification, university President Dan Bradley noted. In 2008, the board of trustees approved a new mission statement that incorporated public service, and the university’s strategic plan adopted in 2009 and revised in 2013 includes explicit commitments to experiential learning and enhanced community engagement.

Experiential learning is now a core component in all academic programs and merit scholarships are more strongly linked to community engagement. The university has also brought community

and business engagement, the Career Center, extended learning, conference and event services and Hulman Center under a community engagement and experiential learning unit launched in 2009.

In 2011, eight interdisciplinary centers and institutes were selected for inclusion in an Unbounded Possibilities initiative designed to strengthen areas where the university is especially well-suited to have a positive impact on the community.

“Indiana State has been involved in community engagement since the university was created 150 years ago,” Bradley said. “These actions and others, along with the hard work of dedicated faculty, staff and students who share the university’s commitment, have been recognized in many ways, including Washington Carnegie Continued on PAGE 19

indianastatesman.com CARNEGIE CONTINUED FROM PAGE 18 Monthly magazine’s No. 1 ranking for student community service each of the past two years and the 2013 designation

by The Nonprofit Leadership Alliance as the Sprint Campus of the Year.”

The university’s application to the Carnegie Foundation was focused on assessing how the campus had grown and enriched community engagement efforts since its initial application, said Cat Paterson, faculty fellow with the Center for Community Engagement.

“Indiana State University purposed to embrace partnerships and collaborate with the community,” Paterson said. “A plethora of evidence exists from across campus that we have made great strides in accomplishing this purpose. Examples mentioned in the application include the strategic plan, curricula of every college and program of study, faculty tenure and promotion policies, grant procurement, the Community Service Leave policy, the Ryves Neighborhood Partnership, various campus organizations and the dedicated work of students, faculty, and staff.”

“When writing our application and assembling the documentation,” Paterson said, “I never struggled to find examples

Wednesday, Jan. 14, 2015 • Page 19 of how the university is engaging the community.”

During the 2012-13 academic year, the period used for the application, more than 7,000 Indiana State students participated in 1, 245 service-learning courses taught by 279 faculty members from 28 academic departments.

The university has also significantly increased its commitment to community service in its federal work study program.

During 2012-13, nearly 33 percent of work study wages were spent on student jobs with community service components, compared with just 12.6 percent in 2008-09.

Faculty and staff are already working to further strengthen Indiana State’s community service commitment in anticipation of the next Carnegie classifications in 2025, Bradley said.

“We have accomplished so many strategic plan objectives in the areas of community engagement and experiential learning that we are adding new objectives,” he said. “We are developing students with an eye toward the community and a passion for service. We are fostering a culture that helps to develop and enrich our communities.”

Sycamores slog through early-season slump Rob Lafary Sports Editor I’m not one to carry a rabbit’s foot in my back pocket or freak out when a black cat crosses my path, but I do believe that the words “bad luck” aren’t just of mythical proportion.

That’s why I was skeptical of returning for the spring semester at Indiana State.

Not because my grades were low, my roommate was awful or because I was homesick, but because I have been afraid that my return, along with the return of most of the student body, might spell trouble for the Sycamore men’s basketball team.

Rewind the clocks back to the last time students were on campus for a full week and the men’s team was in action.

The date reads Dec. 3 and head coach Greg Lansing sits at his postgame press conference with a somber look on his face and a lowly tone to his voice after watching his team get flat out embarrassed by a ranked Butler team 77-54.

Calling it the worst loss he has been a part of in his time in Terre Haute, the crushing blow sent Lansing and company’s record to 3-4, later becoming 3-5 that weekend when things got even worse in Muncie, as the Sycamores watched a lead evaporate in a 70-63 defeat to in-state rival Ball State.

Despite it being early on in the season, much hope seemed to be lost and a team with such promise in the preseason all of a sudden had no direction at all.

But with the arrival of winter break came new beginnings; and while students were basking in laziness at home, the hoopsters were putting in work and taking on a winning identity.

Outside of a 78-68 home win against Truman State on Dec. 16, Indiana State limped through the rest of its nonconference schedule with a 1-3 mark but took a turn for the best when the Missouri Valley Conference season kicked off.

Beginning with a thrilling 63-61 win at Illinois State, the Sycamores have gotten off to a 4-0 start in the MVC for

the second-straight year.

Other wins include a double overtime upset of Evansville, a 71-56 victory at home against Missouri State and most recently, a 59-56 win at Southern Illinois, highlighted by Devonte Brown’s buzzer beater that ended a three-game skid in Carbondale.

Much of the improvement stems from a more cohesive Indiana State unit on the floor. No longer expecting a Jake Odomesque player to make a triumphant return, a group of role players from a year ago have banded together and combined their talents to make for some gritty basketball on the floor.

Six different Sycamores are averaging seven points per game or better with

three players in double figures midway through the season.

Brown leads the way at 12.4 ppg but Khristian Smith and Brenton Scott are close behind, averaging 11.5 and 10.7 respectively. Smith also shares teamhigh rebounding honors with senior workhorse Jake Kitchell at 5.3 rpg.

The bench has also given more productive minutes.

Individual statistics may not look impressive but the work of Tre Bennett, Grant Prusator, Alex Etherington, TJ Bell and Brandon Murphy has steadily improved throughout the year. Bennett, who has started four games in 15 apperarances, leads bench production with 7.1 ppg and sits behind Smith in free throw

percentage at 74 percent.

With the rest of the year being dedicated to playing against conference opponents, Indiana State’s marathon continues against the MVC. Games against the likes of defending champion Wichita State, Northern Iowa and a rematch with Evansville still loom but the Sycamores are once again a threat to sit atop the standings by March after erasing early season struggles and doubts.

Indiana State, now at .500 on the season with an 8-8 mark, hosts Illinois State tonight at 7:05 p.m.

Women’s basketball savors early-season success Zach Rainey Reporter The Indiana State women’s basketball team started the season on fire and has stayed hot as they enter the 2015 portion of the schedule.

The Sycamores won 10 of their first 11 games and are now in the midst of battling a tough Missouri Valley Conference schedule.

ISU has had multiple stellar performances so far this season, such as the close game against St. Louis that resulted in a 63-60 victory. Senior guard Chelsea Small scored 18 points on 8-of-12 shooting and went a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line in the win.

Two days later, the Sycamores had another impressive win, beating Butler 66-51.

The big story in this game was how the bench was able to contribute 39 points and helped the Sycamores distance themselves from their opponent. Junior

guard Alexis Newbolt went 5-for-8 from behind the arc and led Indiana State with a career-high 15 points. In this game, 10 different players were able to score a point for the Sycamores.

The game that the Sycamores circle on their schedule every year is the matchup against in-state rival Indiana, which was made more special this year for the fact that the Hoosiers were led by former ISU head coach Teri Moren.

It was the Sycamores’ turn to travel to Bloomington on Nov. 30 for the matchup.

Regulation wasn’t enough to declare a victor between these teams, so the two went to overtime where the Sycamores were able to pull out a hard fought victory.

It was their first win against Indiana since 2004. Senior forward Jasmine Grier came off the bench and scored 18 points and dished out a team-high three assists along with Racheal Mahan who added 14 points and 10 rebounds for her first double-double of the season.

Nine different Sycamores posted points

on the afternoon. Defense kicked in for Indiana State, forcing an IU season-high of 22 turnovers and held the nation’s second-highest scoring team, who averaged 94.8 points per game, to just 61 points on the night.

As students left for the winter break, head coach Joey Wells and company traveled to St. John’s University in New York for the St. John’s Chartwells Holliday Classic and upended Southern Methodist University 64-55 in the first round.

Chelsea Small led ISU with a career-high 20 points and team-high seven rebounds while Racheal Mahan, Cierra Ceazer and Rhagen Smith each had eight points.

This put the Sycamores in the championship game against the host Red Storm who entered the title match ranked 25th in the country.

The Sycamores defeated St. John’s 7367 in double overtime to win the classic.

That also made it the Sycamores’ 10thstraight road win of the year at that point, which tied a program record that was set

in 2005-06 and still ranks as the NCAA’s second longest active road win streak.

Indiana State also posted its first win over a ranked opponent since the 2007-08 season when it defeated No. 17 Vanderbilt on Nov. 14, 2007. The 10-1 mark in nonconference play is also the best in program history, edging the 8-1 record in 1988-89.

Jasmine Grier scored a team-high 21 points and six rebounds as she helped Sycamore non-starters account for 54 points on the afternoon.

Racheal Mahan led on the glass with a season-high 11 rebounds and added nine points.

While the Sycamores lost two straight on the road to begin conference play, they’ve won two straight games at home and look to continue their winning streak on Friday night at Southern Illinois.

The Sycamores will play again that Sunday against Illinois State before coming home for a three-game home stand against Drake, Northern Iowa and Evansville.

ISU football team nationally ranked for 2014 season Ace Hunt

ISU Athletic Media Relations The Indiana State Sycamore football team has finished nationally ranked in both FCS Postseason Polls as announced in the days following the National Championship Game, which was held in Frisco, Texas, on Jan. 10.

The Sycamores are ranked No. 18 in the final FCS Coaches Poll.

It is tied for the program’s high-water mark in that national poll during the 2014 regular season. In The Sports Network Poll, the Sycamores finished No. 19. This marks the first appearance by the Sycamore football program in the postseason national polls since 1995, when Indiana State finished No. 24.

It is the highest postseason ranking for the Sycamore football program in the FCS Polls since they finished No. 5 following both the 1983 and 1984 campaigns.

Since 1982, the Sycamores have appeared in just four final national polls.

The FCS Playoff Committee released

the final national rankings prior to the postseason from 1982-1992 when The Sports Network took over the process. A post-playoff poll was not implemented until 1994.

Indiana State finished the 2014 campaign as owners of four wins over teams that appeared in either or both of the final national polls.

Two teams ranked ahead of the Sycamores, No. 10 Northern Iowa and No. 17 Liberty, both fell victim to Indiana State over the course of the season. The other two wins over ranked teams came against No. 21 Eastern Kentucky in the first round of the FCS Playoffs as well as No. 22/25 Youngstown State in the final weeks of the regular season.

The Sycamores wrapped the 2014 season with an 8-6 record, the most victories for the program in 29 seasons of Missouri Valley Football Conference play.

Indiana State enjoyed the biggest turnaround in college football as they improved their victory total by seven from 2013 to 2014.

The Sycamores earned their first FCS Playoff berth since 1984 as well as their first postseason victory since 1983.

Indiana State’s final game of the season was played on December 6 — the latest a Sycamore football team has ever played a game.

One big reason for the Sycamores’ success was the play of senior quarterback Mike Perish, a second-team All-MVFC performer, who finished his career with the school record for pass completions, attempts, yards and touchdowns. He also owns the single-season record for pass completions, attempts, yards, touchdown passes and total offense.

On defense, junior linebacker Connor Underwood was named a First Team All-MVFC performer and picked up First Team All-American honors from The Sports Network as well as Second Team All-American plaudits from the Associated Press. He finished the season with 94 total tackles, including new school records for quarterback sacks with 13.5 and tackles for loss with 25.

He also now owns the school record for career quarterback sacks with 28.5 and is just two away from Kyle Mitchell’s standard for tackles for a loss with 52.5.

Underwood finished 22nd in the MVFC for tackles per game with 6.7, third in sacks, and second in tackles for a loss. His four fumbles forced led the team as well as the league. Underwood finished ninth nationally in the Buck Buchanan Award voting, which is awarded annually to the FCS Defensive Player Of The Year.

In total, eight different Sycamores were named all-conference, three were listed as academic all-conference and three more were named to the MVFC All-Newcomer team.

Second-year head coach Mike Sanford was named the American Football Coaches Association [AFCA] Regional Coach Of The Year. He will be honored tonight at the national convention in Louisville, Kentucky.

Sanford finished ninth in the voting for the Eddie Robinson National Coach Of The Year Award.

Two professors pen nonprofit how-to guide KRISTEN KILKER

ISU Communications and Marketing Two Indiana State University professors are out with a new guidebook for nonprofit leaders that promotes campus and community partnerships for addressing many of the challenges their organizations face.

“Cooperate-Advancing your nonprofit organization’s mission through college & community partnerships” was authored and edited by Nathan Schaumleffel, associate professor of kinesiology, recreation, and sport and campus/executive director of the Nonprofit Leadership Alliance Certification Program, and Tina Kruger, assistant professor of applied health sciences, in league with Indiana Campus Compact and its faculty fellows program.

While there may be a pre-existing plethora of nonprofit how-tos, this guide focuses on opportunities that potentially arise when nonprofits and colleges work together, Schaumleffel said.

“The whole premise of the book is that nonprofits need more,” he said. “There are about two million nonprofits in the United States and they’re all competing for resources, and all of them need more.

They need more money. They need more volunteers. They need more staff. They need more time. They need more office space. They never have enough to meet community needs and a lot of them are really struggling. Unfortunately, most nonprofit organizations look past one of the best resources right in their back yard, which is a local college or a university.”

In order to get the most out of a college-nonprofit partnership, Schaumleffel stressed, all parties must have their needs met.

When the goals of a nonprofit and a university overlap, that can mean lowcost or free resources to the nonprofit, experiential learning opportunities for students that achieve learning outcomes, and achievement of academic objectives and professional development goals of professors.

The guide also spares readers tedious re-information by specializing its focus on executive directors, board members,

volunteers, and staff who are already well-aware of the fundamentals of nonprofit leadership. Written by nonprofit leaders, it pays great attention to the obstacles that hit small- to medium-sized nonprofits especially hard — such as fundraising and volunteer management.

The foreword of the 153-page book was written by Nonprofit Leadership Alliance president emeritus Michael Cruz and current president Susan Schmidt.

The book was published by Indiana Campus Compact and co-authored by other faculty fellows from DePauw University, Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis, Purdue University-Calumet, and the University of Indianapolis as part of a 2-and-a-half-year engaged scholarship initiative.

“Engaged scholarship ... [combines] faculty roles of teaching, research, and service,” according to the New England Resource Center of Higher Education.

Since many contributors had oneyear fellowships, it was Schaumleffel’s responsibility as Senior Faculty Fellow and editor to manage the project from conception to publication, as well as provide content. While Schaumleffel leadauthored all but one of the chapters, he credited Kruger for her enormous con-

tributions to the project, acting as leadauthor on one chapter and co-author on another.

“The group decided as a whole that the book was something that made sense because it fills a void that’s out there,” Kruger said, “where community partners may want to work with faculty on campus but they don’t always know how — what they can ask for, how they can go about asking for it. There are a lot of books written to encourage faculty involvement with community partners, but not a lot from the other side.”

Kruger is director of the gerontology certificate program at Indiana State. She uses her knowledge of gerontology to benefit her students and community, as well as make an international impact.

For her individual project as a Faculty Fellow for 2012-13, Kruger oversaw students in her health promotion aging class while they surveyed older attendees at Dine with a Doc. Visiting two locations in Vigo County, the students asked participants about the topics that concerned them most, focusing on the ways Senior Education Ministries-the sponsor of the event-could provide them with a better quality service.

The project was highlighted in Chapter

“

One of “Cooperate” to illustrate a successful college-nonprofit organization partnership.

During the summer of 2014, Kruger also took an international community engagement and service-learning trip to Finland where she and others looked into nursing homes and senior health care abroad, and other issues that are important in the field of gerontology.

Indiana Campus Compact supports higher education’s efforts to help students become active and informed citizens through service-learning and community engagement. The only statewide higher education association dedicated specifically to campus-based civic engagement, it includes public, private, two-year, and four-year learning institutions. It also offers scholarships to faculty and students with similar project goals.

Since the funds from previous Faculty Fellow class projects helped seed “Cooperate”, Schaumleffel said that any profits from the book will return to the Indiana Campus Compact Faculty Fellows program for future projects.

The book can be purchased on Amazon at http://amzn.com/0692296190 and is available in both paperback and Kindle e-book format.

“The book [is] something that made sense because it fills a void that’s out there.”

ISU commencement leads Sycamores into the future The path that will lead hundreds of Sycamores into the future may have seemed foggy as they went from being “students” to “alumni” of Indiana State University at last semester’s winter commencement.

But Joy McCall of Richton Park, Illinois, who delivered the 2014 winter commencement student address at the ceremony, urged her fellow graduates to trust that what they’ve learned during their time at Indiana State will help make the path much clearer.

“Here at ISU, you made the personal choice to challenge yourself and reach significant goals,” she said.

“I am sure that all of us at some point in time, have experienced feelings of doubt or inadequacy, but let me reassure you that those attitudes cannot stand very long in the light of greatness. I encourage you all to step outside of yourselves, and use your individual gifts, along with the skills that you have obtained here at ISU to inspire others to strive toward the goal of ‘self-actualization,’ to fulfill your full potential and help others become all that they can be.”

More than 800 graduates who completed requirements for bachelor’s,

master’s, educational specialist and doctoral degrees this summer and fall and were eligible to participate in the ceremony now have the chance to influence changes in the world.

But, McCall warned, it will require “stepping outside of the familiar to push the change we want to see.”

“The recipe for lasting change does not exist within our comfort zones so we must practice the act of altruism,” said McCall, a nursing major. “We must be selfless and show concern for others.”

Luckily, she said, the around 700 graduates who participated in the ceremony at Hulman Center have plenty of examples, like American greats Martin Luther King Jr., Oprah Winfrey and John F. Kennedy, to show them how to make positive changes for future generations.

“Even if their efforts were not going to personally benefit them, they still pushed to advocate for future generations,” McCall said. “We are the beneficiaries of their work, so let’s strive just as they did, for a higher goal, and do the same for those who will come after us.”

They also have fellow Sycamores who can show them the way, like the commencement’s alumni speaker Todd

Osburn.

A Terre Haute native, Osburn graduated with an accounting degree in 1985. He lives in Chicago and is founding partner of Greyrock Capital Group.

Osburn’s success since graduation, he said, is due to a combination of effort, attitude and kindness.

“My first job after graduation was at Roadmaster Corporation, located in Olney, Illinois. It was a terrific experience for me for a number of reasons, one of which was that the owners believed strongly in developing their employees through continuing education and brought in guest lecturers and numerous individuals to teach seminars on a wide range of subjects,” Osburn said.

He noted that the first seminar he attended was a Dale Carnegie seminar, author of several books in the early 1930s and ‘40s on leadership and traits of highly successful people.

“I’ll be honest, I don’t really remember any specifics about the seminar other than at the time I thought the whole thing was kind of nonsense and as such I didn’t pay as close of attention as I probably should have,” Osburn said.

“But as the years have passed I’ve

learned to appreciate the instructor who was a pretty sharp guy. You see, at the end of the seminar he passed out a dollar bill to each of us and had us write in bold letters the word ‘terrific’ across the dollar.

His objective was that it would serve as a daily reminder to have a positive attitude, to have a ‘terrific day’.”

In the spirit of his instructor, Osburn tucked a dollar bill inside each graduate’s diploma cover and on each bill wrote the words “effort,” “attitude,” and “kindness”.

“My hope is, first, that you resist applying it towards a beer at the Bally or the Copper Bar after the commencement is over and, second, that you find a way to hang on to it and maybe make it part of your daily routine as well,” he said.

“I somehow managed to not spend mine and 28 years and at least a half dozen moves later, including three cities, I still have it. It sits on my dresser at home, as it has for the past 20-plus years, where I see it each morning. It’s a part of my daily routine and for me it’s a trigger that sets the tone for each day. It’s my reminder to have a terrific day and to make the most of it.”
