“Celestial Schooner,” a raku fired earthenware piece by senior studio art major Craig Coursey, is displayed in at the Senior Seminar Exhibition as undecided freshman Isaac Memmer admires the many pieces submitted to the show. The exhibition was on display in the McCutchan Art Center/Pace Galleries from Nov. 9 to Dec. 2.
by Amelia Peterson agpeterson@eagles.usi.edu When Tadashi Kojima’s wife died eight-and-a-half years ago, he said he nearly died from the emotional pain and needed to find a way to regain hope in the future. “That’s why I applied to the exchange program between Tochigi, Japan, and Evansville,” Kojima said. “I left my home in Japan to study and begin a new life.” This is the inspiration behind Kojima’s painting “The Beginning
Steak ‘n Shake candidate to replace Archie’s by gabi wy news@usishield.com @ShieldsterGabi Sodexo Operations Manager Rebecca Diamond sat down with SGA and talked food. During a Nov. 19 SGA meeting Diamond told members she met with university affairs representative Aaron Gottman to discuss the future of dining on campus. In addition to discussing dining, Diamond announced that Sodexo Manager Chris Briggs will be retiring after this semester. Sodexo has been negotiating with several businesses to replace Burger King and/or Archie’s Pizzeria. “We have been in the talks with Steak ‘n Shake,” Diamond said. “That would go in place of Archie’s Pizzeria … nothing has been signed yet.” She said the process of determining retail dining is a lengthy one. “Chick-Fil-A is, of course, the one everyone wants where Burger King is,” Diamond said. “Some of our corporate people are going to meet here on Dec. 8 and hopefully then we will know something more as far as talks with Chick-Fil-A.” Steak ‘n Shake representatives will also be on campus
stone courses for art majors. The students’ work ranged from painting, to ceramics, to digital graphic and interactive media. Kojima, a senior art student at the university and teacher at the Southern Indiana Japanese School, has several other pieces on display as well, including a sculpture of a small piano titled “Memento for My Wife.” “My wife was a piano teacher, and she always played piano in my home,” Kojima said. “In this exhibition, I put ‘Fantaisie Impromptu’ by Chopin on the piano sculpture.
of My Second Life,” which marks the start of his time at the university. The painting is based on a photograph taken of Kojima looking out over Reflection Lake in the fall, three months after he came to the U.S. “The Beginning of My Second Life” was one of 145 pieces on display in the 2015 Senior Seminar Exhibition at the McCutchan Art Center/Pace Galleries from Nov. 9 to Dec. 2. Each piece in the exhibition belonged to a student in a senior art or design seminar, which are cap-
Dec. 8, and Diamond hopes an agreement will be signed on that date. Diamond said Sodexo is looking to offer sushi, probably in a Simply To-Go unit. Sodexo is also considering more fish options. “There are healthy options everywhere—except maybe Archie’s—but there are healthy options,” Diamond said. “You just have to look for them.” Diamond said Sodexo will start using a “mindful program.” There will be a specific logo to identify mindful, or healthy, meal choices to make it easier for students watching nutrition. As for pizza delivery from within campus, Diamond said Archie’s Pizzeria hasn’t been successful. “It’s operating (efficiently),” she said, “but they’re just not getting a lot of business out of it.” Since a business, likely Steak ‘n’ Shake, will replace Archie’s in the University Center, pizza delivery would no longer happen within campus and could be moved back to the C-Store. She also addressed the OZZI system and the newly implemented recyclable to-go boxes.

When I first visited (my wife’s) house, she played this music, and I was very impressed. That’s why I made the sculpture in her memory.” Kojima said he can create art freely because he feels comfortable around the professors in the art program. He had never painted before attending the university. “First I took a psychology major because I wanted to know the meaning of my life, but it was so hard to study,” Kojima said.

Alumnus Keith Jewell said donating to the USI Foundation was one of the easiest decisions he’s ever made. With Jewell’s gift of $2 million, the university exceeded Campaign USI’s goal of $50 million nearly a year ahead of schedule. Jewell finalized his donation in August. Because of multiple anniversary events taking place during September, the foundation decided to wait to announce the campaign total at a foundation luncheon Nov. 19. Between Jewell’s gift and the announcement, the total reached $55.4 million. “If you can transform the lives of others and help somebody get a good education, they will go on to make an incredible impact,” the president of St. Mary’s Health System said. “Wow, how awesome is that?” Jewell said he grew up relatively poor and was grateful to be able to attend college. “I didn’t have a lot of options,” he said. “I chose (USI) because it was affordable.” Jewell said he quickly found opportunities to thrive on campus. “I was in Lambda Chi, APB (and) the AMIGOs,” he said. “I learned great leadership skills. Doing that at USI, you can fail, and it’s still okay.” Until 1985, the university had been known as Indiana State University’s Evansville campus. Jewell was part of the first graduating class of the newly independent University of Southern Indiana in 1986. He received an undergraduate degree in accounting and later a master’s degree in business administration. After working in Indianapolis, Jewell heard of St. Mary’s need for a CEO and decided to come home.

Japanese School garners tenth award by Zackary willem zmwillem@eagles.usi.edu Since the founding of the Southern Indiana Japanese School, the school has won its tenth consecutive writing award. “The contest is held annually by the Japan Overseas Education Services,” Keietsu Nishimura, principal of the Southern Indiana Japanese School said. This year 219 Japanese schools abroad participated in the contest. Only 20 schools received awards. “There were 40,311 writing works such as poems and compositions submitted,” Nishimura said. “Only 500 were awarded including nine from our own school.” There are currently 53 native Japanese students from kindergarten to twelfth grade attending the school. “My students must be

Japan.” Nishimura said he does this to give his students a school life similar to one in Japan.

“We have on average 50 students each year, but we never have the same students for more than two to three years at a time,” he said. Nishimura said this is because these students are from families working for companies such as Toyota and after their assignments are finished, they will return to Japan. “While these families are here for a few years due to business, they don’t want their students to have trouble with schooling when they return to Japan,” he said.

Diamond said because the tokens within the system can be hard to keep track of, especially over breaks, Sodexo is working on a way to keep that to-go box token on student accounts instead of relying solely on a physical token. SGA members brought up the idea of having OZZI machines in the dorms for freshmen who take food back to their rooms. “We try to keep it all as close to the (dishwashing) unit as possible. I don’t know how often we would be able to send a person out there to collect the containers, and once it’s full, it won’t take any more,” Diamond said. She said a machine costs around $15,000. “As for getting one in the residence halls, perhaps in the future,” Diamond said, “but

Second grade student So Takahasi and Keietsu Nishimura, Principal of the Southern Indiana Japanese School, discuss his current drawing and writing assignment before lunch on Saturday Nov. 21st.
Nishimura is a native of Japan and has served as principal of the school since its founding. “I enjoy being principal because I can run the school in the way that will benefit the students the most,” he said. “The responsibility is large though, because I must give a high quality of education for my students.” Nishimura also teaches his students Japanese, mathematics and health using the same textbooks used in schools in Japan. “I am immensely proud of my students,” Nishimura
said. “I believe we will be able to win the competition again next year.” In 1997 the Southern Indiana Japanese School was founded by the university and the State Economy Development agency. “The State Economy Development Agency for Indiana was working hard to get overseas companies like Toyota to stay in Southern Indiana,” Linda Cleek, Executive of Lifelong Learning, said. She said the agency decided that the Japanese School would be founded in southern Indiana, and that a state
school like the university would finance it. “We decided to visit the Japanese School associated with the University of Kentucky before we financed our own school,” Cleek said. Including Nishimura there are 11 instructors who teach students at the Southern Indiana Japanese School. “They aren’t actually teachers however,” she said. “Many of them are actually undergraduate students attending our university.” Cleek said they teach as a part of a locally run program similar to the Allex Founda-

tion, which allows the students to be part-time employees for the university. “These students have to have the required background and requirements before they are selected to teach,” she said. One of the requirements is being fluent in the Japanese language because all teaching at the Southern Indiana Japanese School is done in Japanese, Cleek said. “It’s a great program,” she said, “and one that really lets students find experience when working towards their majors.”

not in the near future.” After the meeting representative Aaron Gottman said when he met with Diamond Nov. 18, he asked about changes Sodexo could make and tried to play “devil’s advocate.” “I heard a student ambassador during a tour (say) that the only healthy food on campus is Cyclone Salads,” Gottman said. “I thought that was really negative.” Gottman hopes that by creating discussion between students and Sodexo, more students will talk positively about food on campus and then increase Sodexo’s sales. “Sodexo definitely cares about their own profits because they are a business,” Gottman said. “They do care about students, but they have to accommodate themselves.”

“One of the first telephone calls I made was to (President) Linda Bennett,” he said. “I said, ‘I don’t know you, but I want to know you.’ We’ve established a great relationship.” Jewell said reaching the campaign goal is a testament to the university’s strong leadership. “(USI is) life transforming, not only for people like me, but also the community,” he said. “We’re able to help people have an education, earn more money and create jobs. I hope USI will continue that tradition.” Jewell will serve as a 2017 USI Foundation director. Foundation President David Bower said the organization and campaign’s purpose is to aid the university financially in any way needed. According to Campaign USI’s website, $14 million will go to ‘enriching the stu-
dent experience’ through scholarships, experiential learning and campus support. $7 million will go to academics, $7 million to athletics, $12 million to community partnerships and the remaining to any other university needs. Bower said the board couldn’t be more excited to reach the campaign goal. “I’m tremendously pleased and grateful to alumni, faculty and the business community,” he said. “I can’t say how grateful we are (to see) higher education transform.” Bower said seeing private gifts impact students and faculty makes his job fulfilling. “There’s been nothing more of a contribution to the community than the university in the past 50 years,” he said. “When students come, they leave a different person. There’s nothing more important in life than education.”
briefs Study to examin Hoosier taxes The university’s Center for Applied Research has been chosen by the Indiana Economic Development Association to perform a statewide study on tax incremental financing. The study is anticipated to be released and completed early 2016. The study is led by Perry Burnett, Sudesh Mujumdar, and Mohammed
Khayum. This independent analysis will examine the various positive effects of Hoosier tax incremental financial funding, strengths and weaknesses of the tool, and opportunities to improve the tool.
Mini-grant program Southwest Indiana Area Health Education Center, hosted by the university’s Nursing and Health Professions department, has granted
more than $17,000 in funding as part of its 2015-2016 MiniGrant Program. The funds are given to nine tax-exempt organizations in the area. Organizations from surrounding counties that promote health careers for youth and engage health professions students were eligible to receive a mini-grant. Some of the organizations that will be receiving the mini-grants are the Dare to Dream Mentoring Program, YWCA of Evansville and St. Mary’s Medical Center.

Alumnus co-creates food finding app by Amelia Peterson agpeterson@eagles.usi.edu An alumnus co-founded a new coupon app, to help save people money, support local restaurants and answer the question: where should we eat? The Dough Deals app is free to download. Each day it features coupons for three different restaurants, one for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Users of the app simply need to show the coupon on their phones at the restaurant to redeem a deal. Bradley Davis, co-founder of Dough Deals, said the app will be based on geolocation. “If you’re in New York and open the app, for example, then it will be responsive to the location and show local restaurants in the area,” Davis said. Not only is the app free to download, but restaurants are not charged to be featured on Dough Deals. “Groupon and all these other places generally get paid, so the restaurant that has the most money gets the most face time. It’s hard to find local restaurants because they don’t have the money to advertise,” Davis said. “With us it’s different.” Local restaurants partnered with Dough Deals, choose the day of the week they would prefer to be featured and decide on a deal to offer on the app. “The percentages are mostly based on the restaurant, but we try to keep it around 20% off,” Davis said. “Users get an additional percentage off

if they use the app to share the restaurant on Facebook or Twitter.” Occasionally Dough Deals features promotional deals, such as an upcoming coupon at Azzip Pizza where users of the app can receive free breadsticks when buying a pizza. Davis said the app is meant for anyone over 18 and the user base changes depending on the location of deals. “It just depends on where the restaurant is,” Davis said.
“We target a very broad range of people. We pride ourselves on that, but it’s also what makes it difficult.” Davis said the Dough Deals team is continuously working to improve the app based on user response. “This is something really cool that’s happening in
coding a little app. It’s a lot bigger than that.” “Groupon and other similar apps are convoluted and include many other options like entertainment and business,” Cole Raven said. “So we wanted to make a very simple app that only helps people figure out where to eat.” Raven, co-founder of Dough Deals, said 40 local restaurants currently work with Dough Deals, and five

Senior studio art major Bailee Chilman’s piece “Sane” is admired by faculty and students during the Senior Seminar Exhibition in the McCutchan Art Center/Pace Galleries.
“Next I took communication studies, but my English isn’t very good so I couldn’t explain myself. Finally I changed to a studio art major. Painting and drawing gave me inspiration and healing.” Kojima said he has enjoyed his time at the university and appreciates how much he has grown while living in Evansville. “My friends told me when I came here I seemed older, but now I seem younger and more energetic,” Kojima said. “I agree with my friends’ opinions.” Jenna “Citrus” Rueger, a graphic design major, had three pieces in the exhibition: “Take Over by Happiness Journal Series,” “Paper Circle Skirt” and “Jars.” The first of her projects, “Take Over by Happiness Journal Series,” includes three journals with covers made through graphic design. The first of the journals is titled “becoming past,” the second “and now” and the third “the future.” “Take Over by Happiness’ focuses on infusing positivity into every day,” Rueger said. “By creating journals that are frequently looked at, such as class notebooks or daily diaries, positive and calming thoughts can be integrated with brief reminders.” “Paper Circle Skirt” and “Jars” are both photography pieces, a medium that Rueger said she has enjoyed working in since high school. “Throughout my life photography has always played a role, although as I have grown its role continues to change,” Rueger said. “When I was in high school, I longed to be a people photographer. Now that we’ve grown together,
Evansville, and it’s really hitech,” Davis said. “We have world-class developers working with us in California and the app is based in Evansville. That doesn’t happen often, and it’s a big deal. We don’t want people to think that we’re working out of our garages
restaurants are added on average each week. “It used to be we’d call (the businesses), now they call us, or they go to our website to sign up,” he said. Raven said Carne Asada, a new local barbeque restaurant, messaged the Dough Deals team on Facebook after partnering with the app to tell them that they had their best business day ever because of Dough Deals. “My favorite part of running Dough Deals is getting feedback from restaurants and hearing how many customers used our app,” Raven said. “That’s what makes me feel good about it.” Dough Deals, which exclusively features local restaurants, has almost 2000 users in Evansville. Raven said he and his co-founders are paying to have the app completely redesigned in order to take it nationwide. “It will look much more professional because we’re preparing to expand to other cities—Bloomington, Louisville, St. Louis, Nashville— the surrounding area and the region,” Raven said. “We don’t think it’s ready to go nationwide the way it looks right now, so we’re paying to get it completely redone.” Since its founding Sep. 28, Dough Deals gained an average of 1000 users per month. Considering the current interest in location-based advertising, Davis said he and his cofounders expect Dough Deals to continue to grow.
photography acts as a conduit for transitioning fine art into design.” Rueger said she has enjoyed her time at the university because of the supportive professors and interesting art projects. “During a summer class I suggested that we do an art house project, and our professor let us run with that idea,” Rueger said. “That was definitely my favorite project as an art major.” In the summer of 2014, Evansville Brownfields Corporation provided an unoccupied house for Associate Professor Hilary Braysmith’s Art 489 class. The class created three separate art rooms inside. “We played with perspective in that project,” Rueger said. In one room, for example, Rueger said she and her classmates painted vertical stripes on the walls. On opening day, models painted with similar stripes stood or sat in the room so that they blended in with the walls. Rueger said she would like to create more art houses in the future, particularly as a graduate student. She plans to attend graduate school for art immediately after graduation if she receives a scholarship. Otherwise, she will continue accepting freelance projects and working as a photographer for Studio B Photography in Mount Vernon. Bailee Chilman said her sculpture in the Senior Seminar Exhibition, “Sane,” came from feeling stressed as a college student. She had quite a few notebooks filled with notes from classes she had attended during her first three years at the university, so she
decided to incorporate those into her art. “I didn’t really want to throw them away since that’s kind of like throwing away all of my time and energy,” Chilman said, “so I decided to incorporate those notes into something that I would see and could appreciate.” Chilman made a plaster cast of her entire body and covered it with her notes from previous classes. In the sculpture her mouth is open and torn blue books are streaming out. Chilman said this is meant to symbolize the idea that college students don’t have time to fully process all of the information fed to them during their courses. “We’re just spitting back the information without taking it in and digesting it,” Chilman said. She said being an art major has taught her to appreciate her mistakes because they have often helped her to learn more about her craft. “You build something, something breaks, you figure out that’s not the way to do it, you do it a different way, it breaks,” Chilman said. “In the end, it’s a good thing because you learn from those mistakes.” She feels ready to continue on to graduate school to study art therapy so that she can help people and work in the health field while incorporating art into her work, Chilman said. “My time at the university has been stressful — not just classes, but life in general,” she said. “I’ve been through a lot and grown a lot, but I think it’s also inspired me to create a lot of awesome artwork.”
A Shield reporter ran down the hallway of the Technology Center at 2:50 p.m. Tuesday shouting, “Is anyone a Toby Keith or baseball fan?” Five minutes later, two students replied, “I am a fan.” Don Mattingly, the Miami Marlins manager, will host a fundraiser “An Intimate Evening With Friends,” which will feature a cocktail reception, a question and answer session from Mattingly and Albert Pujols, who played for the Cardinals for 11 seasons and country singer, Toby Keith who will conclude the event with music entertainment. Marcus Gribbins, a fresh-
man undecided major, said he is a Toby Keith fan and respects his music. “All of his songs are very patriotic … and ‘American Soldier’ is my favorite song, because of the snare drum,” Gribbins said as he demonstrated the drum beat. Gribbins said he believes it’s a great fundraising event, but feels students should be able to attend. “I just think it should be cheaper,” Gribbins said, “because we live with no money right now and people don’t understand that.” Breanna Rutz, a sophomore theatre and English teaching major, said she understands the price of tickets since it’s a charity event. However, she said if she could afford it she would attend.

“(The event) is not going to be majorly (Keith), it’s an entire event and that’s why I would basically go, because of him,” Rutz said. “I like music that’s country and he is country.”

THEATRE REVIEW
Play sews stunning attire to seamless acting by BOBBY SHIPMAN email goes here @twitterhandle Yards of pastel taffeta ruffled about the stage but did not detract from the sidesplitting performances by USI Theatre students during the opening night of “Tartuffe.” The Molière play begins with Orgon in his Parisian home, where is his daughter Mariane is betrothed to the pompously perverse Tartuffe. Each character was draped in loud but luxurious pieces that spoke volumes about the theatre’s costuming capabilities. USI student AJ Jones headed the costume design and elegantly constructed what is probably the program’s most ambitious couture. My only quibble with the attire was Dorine’s (Aimee Grace) costume, which resembled what would happen if a pop-punk princess fell into a lace curtain while sporting an old fashion shower cap then vomited on herself. This outfit may be why Grace stumbled out of the gate—not literally, of course—although she quickly recovered and as the play went on and gave a pleasing performance. Wrapped in her silky cloud of obsidian, Madame Pernelle (Ashliegh Lane Dulik) visits Orgon, her son, at the start of the plot. Dulik ruled the stage with poise and a knee-wobbling leer that seared through

Orgon (Andrew Duvall), Madame Penelle’s son, peeks out from under the table to Elmire (Enjoli Drake), Orgon’s second wife, in the Tartuffe dress rehearsal on Tuesday night at the performance center. Tartuffe is a comedy production written by Molière and translated into English verse by Richard Wilbur.
her gothic makeup. Despite her tickling stage presence, the rest of the onstage cast blundered toward the play’s commencement. They recited Molière’s lyrical lines in a bit of a singsong that detached them from their acting. But that didn’t last long and the cast soon struck their rhythm and created one of the tightest chemistries I’ve seen from a university production. Cameron Ward as Cléante delivered his delightful, fastpaced lines, accentuated by dainty wrist movements, with an ease and power that would hold up against an episode of “Gilmore Girls.” Taylor McKee and Craig Belwood played Mariane and her beau, Valère. McKee’s
hysterical antics were spot on and meshed seamlessly with Belwood’s melodramatic tantrums. The two were authentic comedic compatibility. Andrew Duvall’s performance as Orgon, although spotty, was strong and believable. He shone brightest in his funny moments, both intentional and when he acted through a run in with a pesky and un-adhesive mustache. Maximilian Spears also proved particularly comical as the Orgon’s ego-inflated son Damis, who carried a big sword that failed to mask his shrill shrieks.

as she charmingly flashed her silly side, among other things. Finally there’s the uncomfortably droll Tartuffe played by Austin Tenbarge, whose permenantly arched eyebrow was persistently on point in a way that gave new meaning to the term stink eye. Tenbarge successfully disgusted the audience on a godly, or godless may be more appro-
priate, level as the falsely religious suitor. Director Eric Altheide should be proud of his accomplishments with “Tartuffe,” as he has taken campus theatre to new heights. Despite the play’s ambitous dialogue the plot fumbles and comes to an anticlimatic halt at its conclusion that not even the best actors
could have spiced up without a complete re write. On its opening night, the cast of “Tartuffe” may have started a little rough, but they quickly tightened their needles, stitching together a whimsical, fabulous even in its flaws, and impressive production.

Dinosaur film warms the heart In theaters now
“The Good Dinosaur” has one of the most confusing openings I’ve seen in a Disney movie. Director Peter Sohn appears in front of some concept art to tell the audience how he’s created a movie with the intention of telling a story so well through nonverbal communication that you could watch it in a language you don’t know and still understand its message. A noble intention, if not poorly presented. Asking the audience to think about how smart this film is for telling a story through nonverbal communication is as questionable as if J.J. Abrams popped up in front of his “Star Trek” reboots and told audiences he was super proud of how many old “Star Trek” references he’d written into the film. The audience is then blackmailed into looking for that specific thing. For what it’s worth, “The Good Dinosaur” does deliver
on Sohn’s outlook in spades with a tiny voice cast of 19 people, three of which are “young” versions of main characters. This might not seem like a small cast until compared to a more mainstream Pixar film, “Inside Out,” for instance. While the main cast seems to be only eight people, supporting voice actors bump the count up to over sixty different speaking roles (both main
and incidental background) throughout. “The Good Dinosaur” does a wonderful job of telling a coherent story through nonverbal communication. If there are any legitimate problems with “The Good Dinosaur,” they lie within certain Pixar tropes that I cannot discuss in the review for fear of spoiling the plot. Without running the risk of giving any plot away, I’ll simply say that if you’ve seen several computer animated Disney movies in the past decade, you can easily guess what’s going to happen to each character within minutes of meeting them. The story itself is interesting and moving at times, but sometimes the film leans a bit too heavily on tricks Pixar knows has worked from using them in past movies. That said, any kid you take will love it, even if they bawl their eyes out during certain scenes.

Royal Suite: the price of comfort
The Shield is the first record of history at USI. As the university celebrates its 50th anniversary, The Shield looks back at events and issues we covered throughout the past five decades.
The Royal Suite, located in Showplace Cinemas East on Morgan Avenue, promises dinner and a movie in a relaxed adult-only atmosphere for a slightly higher ticket price. For $14 ($11 for matinee screenings) customers get the ability to order food and drink before and during the film. All the cramped seating of a normal theater layout is replaced with spacious mechanical leather reclining chairs, while a new projector and screen provide a crystal-clear image. A vast improvement over the occasional scratch or smudge on some of Showplace’s other normal screens (I’m looking at you, Screen 1 in Henderson). As a frequent moviegoer, one of the biggest improvements Showplace has brought with their Royal Suite is a simple change in protocol: the Suite dims house lights while trailers for new movies are shown. Between the great fidelity of the Suite’s new screen and the dimmed lights, one
can actually see the trailers as they are meant to be seen. Normal operating procedure at Showplace Henderson, the closest theater to me, is to simply leave the house lights on full blast, washing out any color or clarity trailers have to offer. As far as the physical features the Suite has to offer: each chair comes equipped with two cupholders, allowing one to kick back and sip on their $4 soda or $7.50 cocktail in maximum comfort. Ordering is simple enough — press a big shiny button on your armrest and a server will swiftly appear. The process is so fluid and simple one almost forgets that the menu is priced pretty high, even for movie concession standards. A large bucket of popcorn with unlimited refills for $8 is not a bad deal, paying $5.50 for a “mound of fries” that looked suspiciously like the same serving of fries a friend received as a side with their $13 cheeseburger (neither of which particularly drove our

tastebuds insane with glee) isn’t as exciting. I highly suggest the Royal Suite for those special occasions when a movie demands to be seen in high definition with zero chance of loud children and teenagers ruining the experience. Something historic like the new “Star Wars” film or artistic like Alejandro Iñárritu’s “The Revenant” demand a certain amount of respect from the audience, and the Royal Suite provides the necessary peace, quiet and comfort to achieve that respect. “Dinner and a movie” turns into a better-than-average movie, and that’s okay. As much as I want to support concessions sales so theaters stay profitable, I’d advise against eating at the Suite. Given Showplace East’s close proximity of many good restaurants, I don’t see any logical reason to pay a premium for “meh” bar food. Just make sure to do your part and shell out for some popcorn and soda now and

‘Tis the season | morgan falconer | The Shield
‘Tis the thought that counts by Morgan Falconer mefalconer@eagles.usi.edu No one is immune to the Christmas cheer. There are a lot of things to be joyful about at Christmas, the trick is to not get stressed out and just enjoy the holiday. Gift giving can be made simple if broken down into easy chunks. Step One: Who gets the gifts. I know this is the part where I’d say “Everyone!” but let’s be realistic. No one with a part-time minimum wage job can afford to get more than about 15 people presents over $20. So in order to keep costs down
the recipient cap should reflect the paycheck. Set a limit. Make a list. Check it twice. Decide who gets top priority and then go shopping. Step Two: Going Shopping. Once the list is set, it’s best to do some reconnaissance. Find their wish lists. Ask their family. Do some digging. Pretend it’s a spy mission. That’s what makes it fun. It’ll help distract from the ever dropping back account balance. Amazon has a lot of good potential presents, but don’t count out other specialty websites. Etsy has a lot of handmade items. Other sites that specifically sell one type of products like sweaters should be taken into consideration.
School and work: an economy of hours by Osman Bien Aime orbienaime@eagles.usi.edu School can be challenging enough as it is, but when a full-time, or even part-time job is thrown into the mix, a student’s semester can suddenly become an exercise in creeping deadlines and chronic exhaustion. I started my first real job three years ago, out of necessity. Turns out, mowing lawns didn’t provide enough gas money for a forty-minute daily commute to campus. I still remember my first day on the job. I texted a friend about it, excited over doing what I thought was “an adult thing.” “Oh my God, talking to customers and folding shirts is so much fun! I’m so tired now! Working sure is hard!” I’d worked three hours that day. Years later, the idea of a three hour shift is hilarious, as working toward a Bachelor’s degree and working almost 50-hour weeks is the norm, made possible by overnight shifts at a more recent job. Basically, most of my day is split between being on campus by day and sitting behind
the desk at a hotel by night, with a few hours of downtime in between. That time is split between homework and trying to get some sleep. But, the clerical nature of my job, along with my night hours, results in long periods of downtime between interactions with guests. This gives me plenty of time to open up my laptop, pull out my textbooks and notes and work on homework. Though it leaves me a restless zombie shambling into class the next morning, it’s no longer an intimidating prospect to stay on top of my classes and still have money to fuel up for my 40-minute commute. Whether it’s waiting tables, stocking shelves or delivering pizzas, just about all of us manage work in addition to our studies here at USI. I know it gets stressful as the semester draws to a close, and holidays can be a nightmare, but look on the bright side. We’ve got two full weeks left, after which we can all sit back, relax a bit, and spend a little hard-earned money on ourselves and our families.

A lot of times, these other sites have better deals. If the spy work turns up nothing, consider what kind of gift card they would like. When in doubt choose Amazon for gift cards, it could help with books later. Step Three: Delivery. Wrapping the presents is a step that I’ve always stressed about. My wrapping skills are amazing now because I was so stressed. I’m not going to say that I was so upset with my poor wrapping skills that I took a class, but… I did. No one is going to care. Often times my friends hand me the present unwrapped. They just plop it into my hands and I’m always happy.
I’m never thinking, “Man I would definitely like this present better if it was wrapped up to look like a cupcake,” I’m usually just thinking, “Sick, a T-shirt, I bet it’s so comfy.” And If that doesn’t work, just slap it in a bag. Shop somewhere that puts merchandise in gift bags, like Sephora or White Barn. Step four: Have fun. I know this goes without saying, but keep the holiday light hearted. The people are the heart and soul of the season, not fuzzy socks and pajama pants. Make someone happy, but also enjoy being around the people who care.
Not ready for Christmas by Vanessa roach vrroach@eagles.usi.edu From increased workloads, finals looming ahead and normal holiday stresses of choosing and affording gifts for friends and family, many students become too stressed to enjoy all the wonderful things holidays offer. “There is always homework, tests, papers or something due the day I get back from Thanksgiving break. Even on Christmas break I’m working or stressing about how I am going to afford books and gifts,” said junior business major Henry Lichaj. As soon as the first day of November hit, I had a plethora of wish lists flood
my inbox. It’s depressing because I love my friends and family and want to get them all something nice, but my meager funds are telling me to calm down. This year I propose a solution to this problem. First of all, only buy what one can afford. Start by asking friends and family for ideas of gifts that is at or under a certain amount. To make it fair, ask them to likewise spend no more than the agreed amount on your gift. Gift cards or splitting the cost of a gift with another friend or family member is also a good idea. Gift cards may seem like a thoughtless, easy gift but everyone loves them. Now one may get their
mother something a little more personal, but for Aunt Mildred who lives in Texas it’s the perfect gift to stuff in a cheap holiday card. Everyone has priorities, but be sure to make time to enjoy the season. Even if it’s the little things like drinking a peppermint mocha, or making gingerbread houses with your roommates, have some fun. After all, Christmas is only once a year. So smile, take a deep breath and make some memories. Most importantly remember: it’s not the cost of the present, it’s the moments spent with loved ones that matter the most.

People come first, politics come second One of humanity’s greatest qualities is our ability to help others, even at the detriment of personal comfort. Volunteers will rush to sites of natural disasters to help rebuild, clean former combat zones of dangerous material or donate blood to help offset an epidemic at a moment’s notice. Yet, the second social media is brought into the equation, everything goes to hell. Now the word “refugee” has an unwarranted negative connotation and a fresh wave of racist assumptions swept the internet. Last month a terrorist attack in Paris sparked a huge debate over the trustworthiness of refugees from Syria. This is particularly ludicrous given that the gunmen and suicide bombers of the Paris attacks were neither refugees or Syrian. Well, one guy had a fake Syrian passport, but that re-
ally shouldn’t matter in the age of instant news updates. In normal situations I keep both Facebook and Twitter feeds relatively unfiltered when it comes to harmless content shared and posted by others. Something that directly conflicts with my personal political or social leanings doesn’t necessarily prompt me to unfriend or unfollow someone. There is something to be said for having a bit of variety in life. Just because someone has different views on a position, it doesn’t automatically mean they’re wrong. Well, unless they take their beliefs to an extreme. For more than a week people whom I’d originally thought of as being nice, normal human beings immediately transformed into assholes, spouting the same “keep them away” rhetoric about the handful of Syr-
ian refugees entering the U.S.that made the rounds during the Bush administration. I could use this as an excuse to launch into a political speech … so I will. Regardless of feelings toward those of the Muslim faith, or feelings toward someone purely over their home country or skin tone: the United States of America has a statue in New York Harbor beckoning the world to “give me your tired, your hungry, your poor.” It’s kind of a jerk move to turn away a bunch of tired and hungry poor people after setting that precedent. Before hopping on the next big outrage, such as the Planned Parenthood terrorist, consider if your message involves the treatment of people more so than a political idea or group. Underneath it all, we’re people first.

Cross country concludes Robert says teams focus on ‘keeping positive’

For live coverage of basketball games
by Sarah loesch sports@usishield.com @ShieldsterSarah Johnnie Guy isn’t pleased with how the men’s cross country season ended. “I think it went pretty awful for pretty much everyone,” the senior engineering major said. “Everything went wrong that could have.” In the second to last race of the season Guy came down with flu-like symptoms. After he completed that race he was not able to run for a few days. Several other players on the team also became sick leading up to the final race. Guy said it took him a long time to recover and he felt leftover exhaustion. Two of the runners who usually run in the top five had disappointing days and another runner fell and was “trampled” by the rest of the pack, Guy said. “Pretty much everyone had a bad day on the same day,” he said. Coach Hillyard said he thinks if everyone was 100 percent that day the race may have gone differently. “It’s definitely good to be good, but you have to be lucky sometimes,” he said. Women’s runner Emily Roberts said she thinks the men could have run better races on a different day. “You never know when you’re going to have a bad race,” the sophomore exercise science major said. “I think they just ran to the best of their ability.”

Junior business major Alyssa Moore runs during the Stegemoller Classic at Angel Mounds in Evansville, Sept. 4. The team finished the NCAA Division II Championship in 10th place this season.
Despite a rough race day the men’s team managed to end the NCAA Division II Championship in 10th place. Guy said the end of the season was a result of “a lot of bad luck” for the team because the team improved all throughout the season. The women’s team also finished the championships in 10th place and Guy said the men’s team was thrilled for the women. Roberts led the women’s team and finished 5th out of the 247 participants. “Emily had the race of her life,” Guy said. “Coach (Hillyard) said she could be top five, but I’m not sure anyone believed it.” Guy said Roberts worked hard throughout the entire
season and it paid off. “We went crazy,” Guy said. “We did not expect (the finish) at all.” Hillyard said the women’s season finished on a high note. “She’s been progressing ever since she stepped on campus a year ago as a freshman,” he said. “I was really happy to see it come together, but it wasn’t a surprise.” Roberts said the team tried to treat the championship like any other race and there wasn’t too much more pressure than normal in the season. The team worked out and ran mileage leading up to the race so that the team would peak at the same time, Roberts said.
The Verbal Commitment By Sarah Loesch
Come see what I see
I see a lot from my seat at the press table during basketball games. I see which players quietly sing the National Anthem to themselves and which players crack jokes the whole time. I see how quickly players calm down when reacting to a call after their coach yells from the sideline. I see the puzzling amount of wasps who attempt to fly the court during every game. I see the smiles, the mouthed cuss words, the handshakes and the frustrated furrowed brows. I see how often crowd reaction affects players and game momentum.
Therefore, it would be nice to also see a butt in every seat. Players feed off of the crowd and it’s hard to do when there isn’t one. During Saturday’s loss to Midwestern State University, the men’s team made a couple of runs to put them in position for a comeback. Both runs seemed to find extra fuel in the feet stomping and hand clapping that thundered from the stands. If those runs amounted into a win, the players would have accounted the excitement of the crowd as part of their motivation in pushing back. If I was a betting woman, I would bet even with the loss
they would partially credit the crowd for those runs. While there could always be more support, more noise and more faces in the crowd, at least the men’s games attendees could be considered a crowd. Sometimes I look up at women’s games and wonder how I ever got so lucky as to be invited to such an exclusive event. Then I remember it isn’t exclusive and I definitely didn’t need an invitation. Most of the other attendees just like to arrive fashionably late in time for the men’s game. I don’t want to just say this is blatant bias for men’s
“I tried to change my racing to save a little bit more for the end,” Roberts said. “I think I was just able to hold on better (toward the end of) this race.” Roberts finished the race in 20 minutes and 13.30 seconds. With that success in mind she can now shift her focus to the track and field season and take some lessons with her. “(I’ve learned) just to keep a more positive attitude toward racing,” Roberts said. “These past races I have been focused on keeping positive even if the conditions aren’t positive.”

That’s when I think the confusion begins. The women sweat up and down the court for 40 minutes the same as the men do. The game ends with a final buzzer and the team with the most points still wins. There aren’t a lot of differences that create room for disparities in entertainment levels. The women are 4-1 right now, junior forward Hannah Wascher is averaging about 16 points per game and multiple other players have averages in double figures. From where I’m sitting both men’s and women’s games are entertaining for a lot of different reasons, whether it be the physical play, the interaction between players or those wandering wasps.
