Shuttle bus dents downtown university building, injures 3 HANNA SUMPTER Senior Reporter @hannasumpter

University officials and supporters cut the ribbon at the Glass Hall grand reopening.

Glass Hall now open: ‘We’re celebrating more than just a building’

A Missouri State university building was hit by a shuttle bus Friday afternoon in downtown Springfield after a car collided with the bus on Boonville Avenue.

Springfield Fire Department Battalion Chief Kevin Trogdon confirmed that the two-vehicle accident caused the bus to run off the road.The bus scraped against the Jordan Valley Innovation Center.

The bus was hit by a Honda Civic said Joe Fry, a security employee with MSU’s Department of Safety and Transportation. Trogdon was not on the scene himself, but spoke with the officer on the scene, Fire Chief David Pennington.

Three people were transported to the hospital, Trogdon said.

The damage to the building was considered cosmetic by the campus architect, said Alan Kunkel, the associate vice president of Economic Development at the Jordan Valley Innovation Center. Kunkel also said the crash chipped the brick exterior and dented a metal window frame.

A light pole on the sidewalk next to the building was also hit by the bus, Kunkel said. A traffic cone was placed where the pole previously stood.

A fence went up on campus around Glass Hall two years ago, increasing the time it took to walk to classes. That fence came down on Wednesday of last week, to the enjoyment of many students and faculty.

“It’s going to cut down my walk a little bit, but I feel like I’ll be spending more time in Glass because there are so many new spots to hang out,” Courtney Rellergert, senior market research and advertising and promotion major, said.

University allows demonstrations Homecoming king indoors, bans weapons and explosives and queen crowned in emotional ceremony HANNA SUMPTER Senior Reporter @hannasumpter

Changes to university policy will allow indoor demonstrations and ban the use of weapons at demonstrations as a reaction to “expressive activity” on other college campuses over the last few months.

The Board of Governors approved multiple changes to the Expressive Activity Policy Friday, outlining where people are allowed to be and what they are allowed to do on campus during demonstrations and rallies.

One of the changes to the policy includes allowing demonstrations and rallies to take place inside some university buildings.

Kendall Seal, one of the board members, said so long as the activities do not “disrupt campus operations and ... comply with time, place and man-

ner restrictions established by the board and the administration,” the events will be allowed inside.

“The current policy prohibits rallies and demonstrations from occurring indoors,” Seal said in the board meeting Friday. “ H o w e v e r, that policy has not been uniformly enforced in every instance.

The administration has recommended that we remove this strict prohibition and, instead, allow indoor demonstrations that comply with particular requirements.”

Restrictions to indoor expressive activity will limit

where demonstrations take place, what items are not allowed to be used during these demonstrations and for how long they can exist.

The changes to the policy presented in the board’s agenda Friday will allow demonstrations inside any university buildings, except residence halls and apartments, “entertainment and athletic facilities” and the Greenwood Laboratory School.

Demonstrations are also only allowed to occur inside so long as the demonstration is within business hours of the building.

“I feel like it is kind of disruptive,” Lauren Kinzie, soph-

omore special education major, said. “If I’m in class and I see this big rally outside of my classroom that’s going to distract me. I understand people are free to protest and everything, I just think inside academic buildings just takes away from our learning.”

According to the policy changes, demonstrations inside university buildings are limited to silent demonstrations, such as sit-ins, that “do not interfere with the reasonable operations of the specific indoor space, comply with campus instruction, do not extend beyond the business hours of the university’s indoor space, or do not otherwise violate any policy of the university.”

Sapana Subedi, a public health graduate student, said she wouldn’t mind so much if protests were related to education, but she didn’t like the

The student body was given until Oct. 27 to vote for their desired candidate.

“Being part of the student-body vote and all of the interviews … it’s nice knowing that other people in the community believe in you and they were like ‘these are the right people for this title,’” Campbell, a junior professional writing major, said.

Emotions ran high in the Cliff as the newly crowned royalty met with their friends and family. Senior Carly James and senior Molly Kate Adelmann stood to the side and waited for pictures with their best friend Cozad, a senior public relations major. Through tears, they said they’ve known Cozad through Alpha Chi Omega since their freshman year.

“I feel so happy and overwhelmed,” James, a speech-language pathology major, said. “I think it’s a really genuine win when you’re able to know so many people who are just

WALL OF FAME Six former faculty, staff inducted into Wall of Fame, with demonstrated impact on university MATT CAMPANELLI Staff Reporter @THE_MattyCamp Photos by Collin O’Connell The third floor of the Plaster Student Union is often quieter than its second-floor counterpart and is home to the parliamentary room and the PSU’s ballroom. It’s also where you’ll find the Wall of Fame.

The goal of the Wall of Fame is to showcase former faculty and staff members who have made an impact on students or at Missouri State University.

Six former faculty and staff members were inducted to the Wall of Fame in a ceremony held in the PSU west ballroom on Friday, Oct. 27.

The first class was inducted in 2002 with 100 people having been inducted since then, the director of the PSU, Terry Weber, said. Weber also serves as chair of the Wall of Fame Selection Committee.

Dr. John Catau worked at MSU from 1978 to 2012. Catau taught geography at MSU, and is now faculty emeritus in the Department of Geography, Geology and Planning. Catau also served as the first director of the Center for Assessment and Instructional Support.

Catau credited his friend Dr. William Cheek, part of the 2013 Wall of Fame induction class, as one of the reasons why he originally came to MSU. “Bill’s the reason I’m here,” Catau said. “I was looking

idea of potentially allowing political rallies inside university buildings.

Another addition to the policy strictly prohibits the use of weapons and many other items for expressive activities on campus. The list of items includes ammunition, explosives, body armor, helmets, mace, masks, vehicles and torches.

“The administration undertook a review of this policy in light of expressive activity on college campuses over the pass several months and years,” Seal said.

According to NPR, three people were killed in

for a job and Bill helped me get a job here.”

Catau and Cheek attended Michigan State University for graduate school where they shared an office. Catau said the students at Missouri State were one of his favorite things about working at the university.

“I’ve loved working with the students in particular and

connection with white supremacist rallies in Charlottesville at the University of Virginia and 35 were injured. According to the Wall Street Journal, Florida’s governor declared a state of emergency ahead of the appearance of a speech by Richard Spencer, a white nationalist, at the University of Florida. Though there wasn’t any violence, the school spent more than $500,000 on security, the Journal reports.

Seal said in the board meeting feedback to these changes was used during the process of changing the policy.

“I would also like to note, feedback from both faculty and students in the review process of this expressive activities policy was in the affirmative,” Seal said.

“The programs and planning committee voted unanimously to recommend that the board approve the proposed revisions to (the) governing policy.”

that’s another reason why I think (Missouri State) is such a special place because we do value students so much and so much of what we do is for the students,” Catau said.

The late Dr. John Bowdidge worked at MSU from 1975 to 2009 as a professor in the College of Business. Before a career as a professor, Bowdidge worked in television and radio. His daughter Holly Bowdidge-Childress and son Mark Bowdidge received the award on their father’s behalf.

Bowdidge-Childress said the traits that made her father a good teacher also made him a good parent.

“One thing he was known for was being an entertaining professor,” Bowdidge-Childress said. “He was also a very entertaining father.”

Marilyn Chana worked from 1994 to 2011 in different roles on campus, with her most notable position being administrative assistant to the vice president of Student Affairs.

Chana helped develop and implement the Citizen Scholar Award.

Chana said it wasn’t just her bosses that made her job enjoyable, but it was also the students she interacted with.

“There is no way I could have done my job without those people that I hired,” Chana said.

Dr. Bruce Johnson taught agribusiness at MSU from 1978 to 2009.

Johnson said one of the reasons he came to MSU was because he had been working at a research institution and he wanted to do more teaching. u See FAME, page 3

Will Allen coming to campus CARISSA ALFORD Staff Reporter @carissabalford Farmer, author and businessman Will Allen is coming to Missouri State Thursday, Nov. 2, to discuss his journey through agriculture.

Freshmen are required to read Allen’s book, “The Good Food Revolution” due to its theme of sustainability – the same theme as the public affairs mission for Missouri State – to give them a better sense on what the school is about.

Freshman Helene Houston, majoring in hospitality with an emphasis on tourism, said she believes that while the book doesn’t have a big effect on her transition to college life, it offers a different perspective on where her food comes from.

“I read it to be informed and understand what it’s like to be able to afford fresh produce in struggling areas,” Houston said.

iPhone X production issues could harm producers, consumers JONATHAN PETESCH Columnist @thepeach1999 Over a month ago, Apple showed off its new iPhone X and gained mixed reactions from the public. Many, like myself, criticized Apple for pricing the device far too high and for lacking much change.

Now, as the iPhone X is on the verge of being launched, Apple is facing production issues and might not be able to ship the amount of iPhone X’s needed on launch day.

This production problem started with a lack of OLED display panels and problems with the ones which were available. As reported in a recent article from The Verge, at the beginning of production, Apple faced an issue where defects were being created in the OLED while trying to bond them to the rest of the display.

The article also reports that Apple has had issues regarding their Face ID technology, which is one of the focal points of the new phone. In

total, Apple will apparently only ship 20 million units this year which, if it happens, will deal a crippling blow to Apple’s revenue.

In 2015, Apple sold around 13 million units of the iPhone 6S and 6S Plus in the first weekend. That’s over half of the estimated supply that will be available for the iPhone X for the remainder of 2017, which sold in only the first weekend. In Q4 2015, Apple sold a record 48 million iPhone 6S and 6S Plus units.

Preorders became available on Friday Oct 27 at 3 a.m., though availability for launch day pickup became unavailable within 30 minutes.

Apple’s website now says it will ship in five to six weeks, placing preorder delivery around mid December while the iPhone X is slated for release in stores on Nov 3.

This shows that Apple has ran out of its allotted preorder stock already, which is most likely caused by its production shortage. It could be produced by simply a large demand for the iPhone X, though we don’t have definitive numbers for supply or demand yet.

We also don’t know how many devices will

be available in stores on launch day. It can almost be assured Apple has some stock reserved for those who prefer to come in store to buy their new phones.

However, with so many preorders online, it also remains to be seen how many will be showing up at their local Apple Town Squares to pick up a device.

Camping outside your chosen retailer overnight to be first in line at 8 a.m. has been going out of practice for a while now.

I imagine Apple isn’t planning on having many devices on hand for walk-ins on launch day due to demand shifting online for preorders.

They should have a few if that’s your plan for getting a new iPhone, however.

Nonetheless, Apple seems to have a problem on their hands, especially for launch day, and has very few ways to fix it at this point.

Apple will be losing out on a lot of money until they can fulfill demand for their latest device and consumers are going to have to wait to receive their new device, unless they were one of the few dedicated enough to be up at 3 a.m.

University budget cuts need to stop CHASE STOCKTON Columnist @CStockton41 I know at this point, the regular college student would flip to the next column, thinking “I don’t care about budget cuts.”

Well, you need to, and I’m going to tell you why this budget cut will affect you as a student at Missouri State. So, listen up.

As you may know, Gov. Eric Greitens just signed his first budget, in which he cut $250 million in spending, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Normally I would be praising the governor for cutting spending, but like most political stories, there’s a catch.

According to an April 19 article from University Communications, MSU is set to

GLASS Continued from page 1 The project has taken five years, Dr. Stephanie Bryant, dean of the College of Business, said, and is still a work in progress. Many students, such as Rellergert, are excited for the building to be open.

“I am so pumped,” Rellergert said.

“This was a selling point whenever I first wanted to come to Missouri State. They said that it was all happening and I was really excited.

While having to walk around the construction was a good time, I’m ready for me to be able to use all those new study spaces and get all that new natural light in the building.”

Bryant said everything Missouri State does is for the students, including the renovations on campus.

“Nothing is more important to us than student success,” Smart said.

As the largest academic college at Missouri State, the College of

Business graduates are some of the most sought after in the business world. Over 200 companies come to recruit at Missouri State and it has graduates working all over the world, according to Missouri State’s website.

“Whatever (my family) have accomplished in life is due in part to the education I got here,” Glass said.

Glass, a graduate of Missouri State and former CEO of Walmart, said he talks about Missouri State, no matter where he goes, even in China.

“Everywhere I go, people want to talk about Missouri State,” Glass said.

Our business students must be able to solve real business problems, Bryant said, and the building will give Missouri State students an advantage in the business world by allowing them the space needed to think about real world problems.

“We now have a space that reflects the quality of our programs,” senior Brandon McCoy, economics major and student body president, said.

FAME Continued from page 2

Johnson said he went from teaching five hours a year to 24 hours a year and primarily taught agricultural business at MSU. “I found out about what that teaching was right away,” Johnson added.

Johnson was also involved in athletics while at MSU and served as the Missouri State faculty academic representative for 15 years.

“I look at the people who are on the (Wall of Fame) and I wonder if maybe I belong there,” Johnson said.

see a nine-percent reduction in state funds for 2017-2018.

First thing’s first: President Smart, I applaud you.

MSU students already know you’re the greatest university president, but you and your staff handled this flawlessly. You managed to only need a two-percent raise in tuition costs, according to University Communications. That is truly amazing, considering the deficit you were working with.

This trend of cuts is something that absolutely cannot continue. Less money to the university means that, over time, more programs will cease. Programs that, in most cases, have huge effects on students.

Just this year, for example, the SOAR program had one less leader than in years past. This means that there are fewer leaders

“I know [Lily] has learned a lot from this experience,” Adelmann, a child life development major, said.

“This is really humbling for her. I know she’s probably like ‘oh my gosh am I worthy of this?’ and she really, really is.”

Jessen Miller and Tai Thrasher, last year’s king and queen winners, were welcomed to the field on Saturday to help crown Campbell and Cozad. Thrasher expressed her happiness in seeing another Alpha Chi take the crown in 2017.

“I’m just really proud of her,” Thrasher, now a graduate student at MSU, said. “She helped me a lot last year throughout my campaign and she was there to support me through it all. Yeah, she’s a year younger than me, but I look up to her a lot as well. I know how much work she’s put into this so it’s rewarding to watch her win.”

The king and queen agreed the actual week of Homecoming was a lot less enduring than the weeks before.

After they finished painting banners, visiting organization meetings, and creating promotional content, they got to ride out the last week by attending events and having fun with the other members of royalty court.

unacceptable.

We, as a society, should be putting education at the top of our priorities instead of taking away its resources. Less money could mean less technology, research and teachers.

This causes a rise in the student to faculty ratio and simply not being able to support students in the way MSU can now.

A lot of people, the governor included, need to take a step back and reprioritize where they want to cut spending. Education is simply not that place, and I will not sit back and let it happen.

MSU is my home and the home to so many others. MSU is preparing my future and shaping me into a contributing professional. MSU is not somewhere that politicians should use as a place to cut spending as an attempt to get votes. Period.

But, they both say they’re exhausted.

“I feel like it’s honestly really surreal,” Campbell said. “It’s hard to describe. I’m definitely excited and happy about it but at the same time I’m just sitting here like ‘is this actually happening?’ and also ‘oh my god I wanna go home and take a nap.’”

So what’s next for Missouri State’s new king and queen?

Campbell said he’s excited for all the future events he’ll get to attend as royalty in the next semesters.

“Emceeing Greek Week will be cool and we’ll get to promote Missouri State spirit in that way,” Campbell said. “I would like to try and make it to everything I can, because like [Crooke] said, ‘you’re kind of like the face of Missouri State in a way.’ I don’t want this to be, like, the pinnacle of Missouri State for me yet, there’s plenty left.”

Cozad said she also plans to enjoy the fun aspects of her victory, such as emceeing, and that she wants to use her new title as a platform.

“What’s next for me is continuing to serve Missouri State,” Cozad said. “I wanted to use this platform to do a lot of good for Missouri State, such as raising awareness about things that are going on around our campus in our sports and organizations.”

Cozad said this win is a great honor for her because she gets to represent Missouri State after all it’s done for her over the past few years.

to deal with the larger group sizes and less individual time with incoming students. This affects their orientation experiences.

Here on campus, while students might not think they feel it a lot this next year, we will. We all know President Smart will work tirelessly to prevent our education from being affected, but the more the university loses money, the more this changing landscape in higher education becomes inevitable.

Here’s the simple truth: Education is part of a successful society. The more educated someone is, the more they can contribute.

Doctors, lawyers, teachers and many more professionals all require a substantial, quality education to perform their tasks.

Without enough money, MSU can’t live up to its full potential, and that is simply

HOMECOMING: The MSU community showered the campus with spirit, celebrating the past and future.

FIFTY YEARS LATER: Golden Bears return to MO State EMILY COLE Staff Reporter @EMCole19 With all the festivities surrounding Homecoming, it might be hard to remember the real reason we celebrate.

There’s a football game, a parade and tailgating at BearFest Village, along with plenty of other activities over the weekend. But Homecoming is for more than the current students — it’s for the alumni as well.

One annual Homecoming event for a special group of alumni is the Golden Bears luncheon.

Golden Bears are alumni that attended MSU at least 50 years ago. Every year the organization invites all qualifying alumni back to campus for lunch. This year, the class of 1967 was invited for the first time on Saturday, Oct. 28. Also in attendance was Dr. Arthur Mallory, university president from 1964 to

1971.

“We host the luncheon to welcome these loyal alums back to campus to share highlights of all of the exciting things happening at Missouri State,” said Lisa Clark, director of planned giving, who helped host the event. “We enjoy staying connected with our alums and friends from all generations. We love hearing their stories about their time at MSU, their favorite professors and what brought them to Missouri State.”

Attendees of the luncheon ranged from the class of 1967 back to graduates from the 1940s. There were close to 250 alumni present in the PSU Ballroom.

One member of the class of 1967 that attended was Sidney (Tomb) Kendall. She graduated as a theatre education major with an English minor. Her classes were in the basement of Carrington, then called the “A Building,” or Administration Building.

The campus has changed a lot since Kendall attended, and she is impressed with what MSU has become. “I’d like to come back to school!” she said.

While attending MSU, which was still Southwest Missouri State College at the time, she served as president of Delta Zeta sorority, was a member of the Ozarko Queen court, did two seasons of Tent Theatre, and was a member of the honorary drama fraternity Alpha Psi Omega and the Panhellenic Association.

One of her favorite memories from her time in college was during one season of the Tent Theatre. “We did a play called ‘The Rainmaker.’

There was a severe drought in Springfield, and when we were rehearsing, singing the songs about rain coming, it started raining outside. And we all ran outside and went singing in the rain.”

Recently formed Black Alumni Council builds foundation HANNA SUMPTER Senior Reporter @hannasumpter The Black Alumni Council is coming together to give back to the university. The council kicked off their efforts over the weekend at Homecoming and invited alumni back to celebrate.

Eight African-American alumni created the first Black Alumni Council affiliated with the Alumni Association three months ago, with the goal of giving back and creating opportunities for students.

Once the council formed a constitution and worked out formalities with the Alumni Association, they were able to focus “150 percent” on Homecoming, said George Winston, an officer from the Black Alumni Council.

The council held multiple events throughout Homecoming Weekend. A meet and greet was set up for council members and others to meet

and get to know one another and to get everyone settled in for Homecoming celebrations on Saturday.

“We’re all excited to be here,” Ilyce Murray, council member, said. “I’m on board with recruitment and supporting students.”

Events on Saturday included Omega Nu Omega’s 2nd Annual Putters and Pearls Golf Tournament, the homecoming parade and tailgating before the Bears’ football game.

Michelle Fuller, the public relations council member, said Friday during the meet and greet event that she expected a “substantial turnout,” despite the “limited time” the council had to plan everything.

“So next year we’re expecting bigger and better because we couldn’t reach as many people as we wanted to,” Fuller said. “It’s only up from here.”

Now that the Homecoming events have passed, the

council is setting their sights on expanding the council and working toward their future goals. “(We’ll) begin to look at ways in which we can gather more individuals in different pockets of the country,” Winston said.

“We know that there are larger populations of alumni.

So, whether that be St. Louis, Kansas City, Dallas, Atlanta (or) Chicago — wherever we might feel that there’s a concentration of MSU graduates that happen to be African-American, then we want to try to start developing some type of outreach.”

The council also hopes to be able to give back to African-American students by providing resources, networking opportunities and professional training.

“Homecoming is not our only event, it is not going to be our only thing,” Aaren Muex, the secretary of the u See ALUMNI, page 5

On one wall, an image of Professor of Art and Design Cedomir Kostovic sits in the lower-left corner of a poster. A speech bubble covers the rest of its remaining space. It says, “You have something to say?

Make poster!”

Each design in the room was created or inspired by Cedomir, expressing a style of minimalism and metaphorical expression toward social issues. Some posters alluded to racism, others to distress, domestic violence and love.

On Friday, his artwork hung in the Student Exhibition Center alongside works by dozens of his former students. They acted as a commemoration of the professor’s twenty-fifth anniversary at MSU. As colors leapt from the faded white walls, attendees circulated the rooms deep in thought, holding cups of cab-

ernet and hushed conversations. Yet the most prominent figure in the room was an aura of reverence for the featured professor.

Cedomir came to the U.S. in 1991 from former-Yugoslavia to share his passion for graphic design, and after visiting several other universities, he accepted an offer from MSU the following year. Now, his students in the Department of Art and Design know him as Cedo.

“I tell (my students), ‘Ch-edo!

Like cheddar cheese!’” he laughed.

The closing reception served as an opportunity to express the department’s mission to create opportunities for

art and design students, while various designs for the logo “25+” represented an ongoing legacy.

Cedo called the posters emotional pieces that connect visual art with issues people can respond to. He also said he’s thankful for the support of his former students.

“Everybody can find themselves in (visual art),” Cedo said. “I see in (the posters) … passion to talk about social issues that move them, moving beyond what’s expected and pushing (the) limits.”

Student Exhibition Center director Megan Frauenhoffer called the reception a portrayal of Cedo’s passion as a teacher and artist, referencing col-

Tri Sigma. She graduated debt-free. Abbett pointed out how different the financial situation is for students now, a majority of whom graduate with a lot of student loans.

Dean of Library Services Tom Peters gave a presentation to the Golden Bears about the history of Missouri State’s campus. Some of the now nonexistent parts of campus he mentioned were popular with the alumni during their time.

An outdoor pool used to be next to McDonald Arena, near

where the Freddy courtyard is now. Many of the alumni said they swam frequently in that pool, for fun or as part of the physical education requirement. Another common hangout spot was Half-A-Hill Tavern, located at Battlefield and Lone Pine where Bambino’s now stands.

During the luncheon, Golden Bears recognized six new members of the Grand Bears, alumni who either are over 90 years old or graduated over 70 years ago.

If the council is able to grow and expand their capabilities, their ultimate vision is to help students monetarily.

which we can create endowed scholarships or raise funds to put toward an endowed scholarship that would be a benefit to students who are on the campus at this particular point,” Winston added.

laborative efforts between his work and the work of his former students.

She said the extensive variety of artwork in those collaborations was the most rewarding element for her when helping organize the reception. "(Cedo) is very passionate in bringing design out for students to see in different ways,” Frauenhoffer said. “Seeing that influence years after students have graduated just shows how strongly they took to his teaching.”

For MSU alumnus Lucas Roy, Cedo’s guidance led to him opening a multimedia studio in New York City called Studio Mercury after he had graduated in 2002 with a Bachelor’s of Fine Arts.

He credited his success to the tireless determination he had developed under Cedo’s guidance. Fifteen years after his graduation, he wanted to give back to his former professor. “(Cedo) showed us how to stop that ‘not good enough’ mindset and understand that you have the power to get there and find success,” Roy said.

“Missouri’s just one small piece of an entire world, and I wanted to be a part of that conversation.”

Roy also highlighted the importance of designers developing a mindset of confidence and being exposed to a diverse philosophy.

“Confidence is what leads to independent designers,” Roy said. “I remember when other students in my class landed internships in New York City, and we were all so excited for them.”

But even while receiving praise from alumni and faculty, Cedo remains humble. He

said a sense of comfort and support was evident from his first visit to MSU, and that the faculty’s diversity was one of its most appealing factors.

“I saw the graphic design program, and it felt almost like home right away,” Cedo said. “(The reception) is not just a celebration of me, but also of the department, and my experience is just a way to initiate that.”

Bears, Lady Bears use practice scrimmage to prep for season BLAINE WHEELER Staff Reporter @Blainewheeler As the Homecoming parade came to a conclusion down John Q. Hammons parkway, Bears fans entered JQH Arena to get their first look at the 2017-18 men’s and women’s basketball teams.

The scrimmage, the second event of Homecoming, was attended by an estimated 1,000 fans.

The Lady Bears were the first to step on the court to play three 10-minute quarters against a men’s practice squad.

It was the first time the women’s team played in front of fans this season, and head coach Kellie Harper said the jitters created some mistakes from her team.

The men’s practice squad beat the Lady Bears 38-36.

“I think sometimes when it’s the first time in front of fans in a game like situation, players can lose themselves a little bit and lose their focus, so yeah, I had a couple of emphatic teaching moments,” Harper said. “But for the most part, I wanted them to play through today and kind of get this under their belt and we will be a better team tomorrow because of it.”

Harper’s bunch saw impact from new faces. Freshman guards Brice Calip and Elle Ruffridge showed they’re adding scoring potential in the backcourt.

“Brice is very physical and very strong, we saw that quite a bit today,” Harper said. “You know she is not afraid to get in there and mix it up.”

Harper later spoke about another freshman, redshirt center Emily Gartner, that she “would anticipate having her for the season opener.”

Returning star and preseason Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Year Liza Fruendt and the other eight returning players from last season played a scrappy 30 minutes of basketball.

Senior forward Audrey Holt makes her move on Oct. 28. for 122 of the 151 starts from last year.

The Lady Bears played in a close scrimmage against Arkansas, Sunday, Oct. 29. This was not open to the public and no scores were released. However, after the scrimmage, Harper said

she thought the team played hard and shot the ball well, according to Missouri State.

The women play its first exhibition game of the year, on Sunday, Nov. 5, at JQH Arena vs. Lindenwood Uni-

versity at 2 p.m.

Immediately following, the Alize Johnson-less men’s basketball team took the court in an above-the-rim, emphatic fashion. Dunks and fast breaks and “big boy” basketball were

all showcased in the opening warmups to be continued in the scrimmage.

The men played three 10-minute quarters separated into teams of six.

After each quarter, the rosters were changed to create different looks.

The scrimmage however, was highlighted by the sheer athleticism and depth the men’s team has, mostly shown through newcomers.

Junior forward Reggie Scurry hit a turnaround jumper to win the first 10-minute scrimmage for the grey team.

Senior guard J.T. Miller scored in bunches during the contests, at one point scoring six points in nearly ten seconds with a three and fast break score plus a foul.

As a group, the newcomers and the depth they add to this team was a new factor that makes Paul Lusk excited.

“We don’t have Alize right now and I still think we can be a really good team. We aren’t a really good team right now, but I think we can get there even without Alize.”

Lusk’s focus entering the season remains on rebounding.

“Probably, whoever doesn’t rebound is not going to be out there ... if you are going to rebound, you are going to play,” Lusk said.

The Bears, with the added height with 7-foot-2 center Tanveer Bhullar, are showing early indicators of being one of the better rebounding teams in the country.

Lusk sees that potential and is making it a factor.

The question that is still looming about one of the Bears’ best rebounders, Johnson, and whether he will be ready to play at the start of the season.

The pre-season Missouri Valley Player of the Year has been out of full-contact practice for a few weeks with an MCL sprain.

Lusk gave no set date for Johnson’s return but said he was “doing great.”

The men’s basketball team plays its second exhibition game Wednesday, Nov. 1 at JQH Arena vs. Southwest Baptist at 7 p.m.

The MSU swim and dive team defeated Drury over Homecoming Weekend.

MSU swims past Drury on Homecoming weekend MIKE VOLDING Staff Reporter @Mikethekid65 The Missouri State swimming and diving team celebrated homecoming weekend by taking down its across town rivals the Drury Panthers.

On Friday, Oct 27, the Missouri State men’s team dominated the pool with a team score of 144-87. While the women scored a victory as well, defeating Drury 135-107.

Junior Artur Osvath dove back in and aided in the Bears’ victory, taking first in the 200-yard individual medley with a time of 1:48.98, while also placing first in the 200-yard butterfly with a time of 1:47.94.

“Today felt really great,” Osvath said. “I wanted to be a little faster on the 200-fly, but I think that the 200 IM was really good.”

Osvath was not the only Bear to have two first-place finishes, as senior Sydney Zupan achieved the feat, as well. Zupan finished first in the 200-yard freestyle with the time of 1:52.12, as well as the 200-yard backstroke with the time of 2:02.39.

“It felt really good to get those two wins,” Zupan said. “We had a hard week of training this week, so coming off of that it was nice to see the team perform so well in all of the areas.”

Osvath and Zupan were not the only Bears on the victory board, as junior Minki Kang, junior Loretta Stelnicki, sophomore Vikte Labanauskaite and sophomore Antonio Thomas all finished first in their respective races.

“I was super excited with how the team did tonight,” Zupan said. “We were down a couple of people so we all stepped up in places that we needed to and we all got behind one another to come out with the victory tonight.”

As for the diving portion of the duel, Missouri State swept the men’s and women’s divisions.

In the men’s, freshman Michael Claunch took first place in the 1-meter diving, with Bears’ freshman Connor Cox finishing in second.

For the women, freshman Ashley Yarbrough took first place in the 1-meter, with freshman Dayana Popa finishing in second and sophomore Payton Smith with a third-place finish.

“I thought that we had really good energy out there tonight,” Bears’ head coach Dave Collins said. “We had some really good swims at the top, we won some events — which is what you have to do to win these meets — but our depth was key.

“We had some really nice second, third and fourth place finishes that were really important to me.”

The Bears now have their eyes locked on their big mid-season tournament, the Purdue Invitational Tournament.

“We have to tighten up some of the details before Purdue,” Collins said. “We have to work on our starts, turns, breakouts and finishes. But our fitness level is really good, so we just need to work on the details.”

The tournament starts on Friday, Nov. 16 and goes until Sunday, Nov. 18, in West Lafayette, Indiana.

New defensive titan in the Missouri Valley Conference, Valparaiso University, failed to live up to expectations, falling to Missouri State University 3-1. “(Valpo has) a lot of floor defense and a lot of long rallies,” head coach Melissa Stokes said. “We are working to be good on floor defense.”

Valpo showcased that defense early on, but it didn’t last long.

The Bears fell behind quickly in set one. After scoring the first point and trading off points with Valpo for a bit, the Crusaders dominated.

After a 7-7 tie, Valpo busted out an 8-1 run to bring the score to 15-8. A few points later, the Bears began their comeback, however they didn’t do it alone.

The seventh woman for the Bears came from the other side of the net. Senior Taylor Graboski committed three attack errors in the Bears 10-1 run.

Graboski, usually a middle hitter, set up on the right side each time she committed an error.

The issue came from the positioning of her hand when she went up for a kill. Each ball cut right from the court because she would hit to the left of the ball instead of the center.

The Bears capitalized on their rally and took set one, 25-21.

Valpo tightened an already solid defence in set two. Mirroring set one almost exactly, the Bears took the first point followed by a service error.

Valpo’s mid to late set defense ultimately sealed the deal for them however, winning 25-22.

The Bears found the key to breaking Valpo’s defense in set three: sophomore Aubrey Cheffey.

KAITLYN STRATMAN/THE STANDARD

Senior Lily Johnson slams the ball over the blocker, scoring for the Bears.

Cheffey’s strength comes from her ability to notice an empty backcourt, then burn the defenders with a hard kill.

Cheffey looked like she was on the same wavelength as her setters tonight, only setting the ball to her when they noticed the same empty backcourt.

“It’s really good that we also have outsides that know how to put the ball away, that makes their blockers not able to which side to go to,” Cheffey said.

Bears took set three 25-18.

Valpo’s defensive woes continued in set four. This time around, the Bears won through a team effort.

A key player, not only in this set but the entire match, was senior Lynsey Wright.

Wright has a unique ability in that she can reposition herself around the ball in midair to get a perfect angle.

A good example is when there is a whole midcourt ver-

sus the backcourt. When going up for a kill midcourt, Wright goes up and at the last minute jolt her body to the right side of the ball, achieving a kill nearly impossible to dig.

When looking to the backcourt, she hits the ball head on, using her strength to blaze the ball past the defenders.

The first half of the set saw strong competition from the teams, but Valpo eventually crumbled from the offensive onslaught.

Senior Lily Johnson, who recently became the 11th player in NCAA history to achieve 1,500 digs and 2,100 kills, took a more supportive role this set, setting up multiple kills.

The Bears sealed the win with back-to-back aces from freshman Emelie Orlando. The Bears closed out set four, 25-19.

The Bears take on University of Southern Illinois Saturday Nov. 4 at 7 p.m.

On a cold and windy Saturday night, the Missouri State men’s soccer team fell to the Loyola Ramblers on its senior night 2-1.

Going into the match, the Bears

knew there was a possibility of clinching first seed in the Missouri Valley Conference tournament. The Bears could clinch if they won against Loyola, or if Drake or Central Arkansas lost its matches on Saturday.

Thanks to a Bradley upset against Central Arkansas, the Bears received the first seed placement in the MVC tournament.

The Bears got the scoring started in the eighth minute of the first half, when freshman forward Josh Dolling scored his fourth goal of the season from 12 yards out.

“It was great to get a goal early on,” Dolling said. “I scored in our last game and I scored in this game, which is a positive, but when you score a goal you usually want to win. So that is disappointing, but we go again next

The score remained tied well into the second half, until the 68th minute, when Bears’ senior goalkeeper Liam

“I thought that the we did well in some areas and poor in some other areas,” Hiebert said. “That means we are going to have to reevaluate some things by looking on the film, there were some individual mistakes that we could have taken care of.

“But as a team, as a general rule of thumb, we can bounce back after tough losses like this, but we will be ready for Drake next week,” Hiebert said.

After the game, Bears’ head coach Jon Leamy said they made some mistakes, but they are going to bounce back because there is still another game to be played.

“Tonight was a hard-fought game against two good teams — and we knew it would be — but there was a lot of emotion in this game with it being senior night,” Leamy said. “We came out, we scored a goal but they pulled one back and they were able to capitalize on one of our mistakes, as good teams do.”

For Breiten, it was more about the team improvement than her own accolades.

“Really fun event today, lots of good talent out there,” Breiten said. “We really improved as a team and worked really hard and this was the best year we’ve had in awhile and we’re really happy with the improvement.

“I’m blessed enough to have a team that pushes me that I can train with, and obviously Jessi Allen who I can look up to and all these girls are really great role models and we push each other to be our very best.”

The Missouri State women’s cross-country team finished in fifth place and placed two runners in the top 13 at the 2017 Missouri Valley Conference Championships in Springfield Saturday.

The 5-kilometer meet was held at the Springfield Underground.

As a team, MSU came up with 122 points — the most by the Bears at the Valley meet since 2011.

“To see us move from sixth to fifth and have our best day when it really counted, that is what you want to see as a coach,” MSU head coach Jordan Fife said. “Just really proud of the full-team effort today and it was a very good step forward.”

Senior Jessica Allen paced the Bears to finish in third place overall, claiming All-MVC honors. Allen ran a 17:22.06 5K, just 15 seconds behind first-place finisher Lindsey Brewis of Loyola.

“It was good to see Jessi finish in the top three and represent Missouri State up front,” Fife said. Allen also earned the MVC Elite 18 Award, which is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average that finished in the top 10 of the MVC Cross Country Championship.

“The goal was to just put myself into a good position in the beginning, up there in that top group and take the first loop pretty relaxed, and I executed that pretty well,” Allen said. “Third is a huge improvement. ... I got 22nd last year; I put a lot of work in over the summer, tons of hilly, long runs. “(I) Pushed myself harder than I’ve ever pushed myself. I wished I would have had a little bit more at the end to try and get first.

My breathing was a little affected by the cold.”

Redshirt freshman Grace Breiten earned All-MVC Honorable Mention as she finished 13th with a 17:58.34 result.
