Sophomore remembered as ‘sweet, beautiful’ by Sarah loesch editor@usishield.com @seloesch
Halee Rathgeber was always smiling. “She always had a smile on her face,” Ashley Thomas said. “Even if it was simply walking by her and waving at her she was always smiling from ear to ear.” Despite never attending school together Thomas and Rathgeber had been friends since they were eight and
Rathgeber nine years old. Thomas’s
mother worked for Rathgeber’s dad which started their friendship. Rathgeber, a 20-year-old nursing major, was found dead from a single gunshot wound to the head Monday morning at the Alcoa soccer fields in Warrick County. The Warrick County Coroner said the investigation is being considered a homicide. “We were always with each other since day one when he became my mom’s
boss,” Thomas, 21, said. Thomas said if the two weren’t at her house they were at Rathgeber’s mom or dad’s house. “We were together so much that her dad even had drawers for me at his own house because he counted me in as their family like I was one of his own,” Thomas said. The two also spent a lot of time at Skateworld, a local skate rink in Evansville. Thomas said Rathgeber
was the type of person to help others and make sure everyone was OK. “She always put her family and friends first no matter what,” Thomas said. Thomas said she will always remember a day she spent in Rathgeber’s room attempting to catch “some type of flying gerbil.” “It would fly across her room,” Thomas said. “We spent hours trying to get that just laughing and having the time of our lives.”
Thomas said the animal was hard to catch, but it was fun just to be with Rathgeber and see her smile. As the two got older they didn’t talk everyday, but Thomas said she spoke with Rathgeber only a few days before she died. “(We were) talking and laughing about how her mom takes her cat to work with her everyday,” she said. “It was just so funny to us because she’s always been that type of person to

At a number of points throughout her college career, Michaela Livengood wasn’t sure she was going to make it. In a few days, she’ll walk across the graduation
stage and be able to say she did. As a first-generation college graduate, the senior business management major said her first roadblock came with a family member pushing back from financially supporting her. “My dad is legally contracted to pay some of my tuition, but he blew up
and said it was my fault to make him pay for an education I didn’t need,” she said. “I remember sitting in the residence hall crying because I thought I had to leave.” Livengood’s grandparents ended up taking out a loan to keep her in college. “My family isn’t welloff at all, so it was a really
big deal,” she said. “There were other times that I was so close to not being able to come back because of money.” In the spring semester of Livengood’s junior year, she was diagnosed with Grave’s Disease, an immune system disorder affecting the thyroid.
Katelyn Bueltel said her family’s involvement in SGA has helped her prepare for her new role in the organization. The sophomore business administration major was elected SGA President Saturday beating out lone competitor and incumbent President Christina Lutes. “I was just really happy that the hard work paid off for campaigning and working with the exec team,” she said. Bueltel is the sister of former SGA President Alexa Bueltel and former Attorney General and Chief Financial Officer Brett Bueltel. “She is highly involved at USI, and she has a good understanding of the university and the students,” Alexa Bueltel said. “She’s very personable, and it’s easy for students to talk to her. I think that makes her a strong advocate for them.” She said her sister was open about asking questions about the position, and she is willing to adapt to anything that comes her way. Alexa said her sister was able to see a different perspective of what the position entails. “When I was SGA President, I leaned a lot on my advisors and my exec
President Bennett and Bueltel
board,” she said. “I told her to count on them and be reliant on them, but also try and make connections outside of SGA.” Alexa said she ran for President as a junior and believes her sister is ambitious for running as a sophomore. “I think she can handle the responsibility though,” she said. Katelyn Bueltel said she tried to separate herself from her sister as a freshman. She didn’t join SGA until this year. “When I first came to USI, people would ask me as a freshman if I was going to be SGA President,” she said. “I was like ‘absolutely not, no’ and here I am. I really fell in love with the USI campus and the students. I am really excited to carry on her legacy.”

Softball’s offense stalls against Quincy by taylor o’neil hall sports@usishield.com @TayloOHall318
No. 5 Southern Indiana lost its final home game of the season after losing game two of Monday’s doubleheader against Quincy. With the loss, the team sits at 2-2 in the last four games after entering its final series of home games on a seven game tear. Game one started with USI in a 4-1 hole as the bottom of the second inning began. Starting freshmen pitcher, Jennifer Leonhardt (231), allowed four runs and six hits to the nine batters before being pulled in the second inning. Quincy added two more runs in the fourth and another in the seventh after
sophomore utility player, Caitlyn Bradley (7-3), took over the pitching duties. When the team came up to bat in the bottom of the seventh inning, it was down 7-1 and Quincy had five times as many hits with 15 compared to USI’s three. In the seventh, USI rallied back by adding six hits and six runs from the nine batters faced to tie the game and force extra innings. Senior catcher, Haley Hodges, added another home run to her growing record when she hit the ball deep to left center with USI down 7-5 for a two-run shot that tied the game at seven. “I got up there and tried to do whatever I could,” Hodges said. “I wanted to get on base, get a single or something and keep things rolling, but I’ll take a home

run instead.” With Quincy going three up three down in both the eighth and ninth innings, USI had a chance for the walk-off win as the bottom of the ninth started. Southern Indiana added a leadoff single from senior shortstop, Lexi Reese, and senior Alisha Ludwig came in to pinch run for Reese. Marleah Fossett reached base on a fielder’s choice and a throwing error by Quincy shortstop, Lindsey Greene, saved Ludwig as she was heading for second. Quincy starting pitcher, Emily Griskell (10-12), loaded the bases after she hit senior right fielder, Grace Clark, with a pitch. With only one out against Southern Indiana, junior third basewoman, Mena Fulton, walked up to home
plate ready to aim for the sacrifice fly that would send Ludwig home and secure the walk-off. Fulton entered her final at bat 0-of-4 on the day including a ground out to end the bottom of the seventh. Fulton swung at the first pitch she saw and popped up a single to left center. As soon as the ball hit the ground, Ludwig was off and running towards home. Ludwig reached the plate before Quincy catcher, Kay Bettendorf, had time to turn around and tag her giving USI the 8-7 walk-off and saving them from three straight home losses. “I had been in a pretty nasty slump lately,” Fulton said. “I was just trying to get a sac-fly or something through the infield and far enough back that we could
at least tag Alisha and get one run because that’s all we needed.” With Fulton’s hit, USI ended the day going 12-of39 (.308) at the plate after picking up nine hits in the final three innings of play. USI couldn’t follow up their miraculous comeback in game one with a win in game two. Instead, the offense only produced three hits 3-of-23 (.130) and added one run in the 4-1 loss. “Quincy went up there and they swung,” head coach Sue Kunkle, said. “They had nothing to lose.” Kunkle said she knows the team’s struggles aren’t due to any physical alignments, and instead they can be traced to a lack of confidence. “We’re in a little bit of a funk right now,” she said.
Transitions NEW STUDENT GUIDE
Quincy improved to 1626 and 8-18 GLVC after picking up the win in game two. This isn’t the first time USI has dropped a game against a sub .500 team. Of the team’s 10 losses, seven of them have been to teams at or under .500 when they played against USI. After winning game one Monday, USI (40-10, 19-7 GLVC) passes the 40 win mark for just the second time in program history and the first time since 1998 when they finished 48-17. USI ends the regular season in St. Louis with doubleheaders against Missouri-St. Louis Saturday and Maryville Sunday.

Sophomore Remembered continued from Page 1 love her animals just like Halee was.” She said Rathgeber loved her dogs and when she went home her Snapchat would have pictures or videos of her dogs running to her every time she walked in the door. “She was an amazing, sweet, beautiful young girl,” Thomas said. Thomas has started a GoFundMe for the family in an attempt to help with funeral costs. “That’s the last thing
anyone has planned in their whole entire life is to get somebody buried,” she said. After talking to Rathgeber’s mom, Thomas created the campaign in hopes the family won’t have to take any money out of its own pocket for expenses. “That wasn’t (her mom’s) worries, of money,” Thomas said. “But just helping out would be awesome.” Thomas said Rathgeber was known and loved by so many. She knows there are people who can help the
family. In the first day of its creation $8,355 was raised by 148 people. The total goal is $10,000. Thomas said she wants everyone to know Rathgeber was a great person, inside and out. “She was always there for anyone and everybody,” Thomas said. “If you didn’t know her and you needed someone to talk to she was there. She was always there to help.”

SAGA founder Blaine Halford talks about his experience being a member of the LGBT community in Evansville and how that has differed from his experience living in Louisiana.
by riley Guerzini news@usishield.com @rguerzini
Blaine Halford is no activist, but he said it’s important for people to be aware of bullying against those in the LGBT community. Halford, a freshman computer science major, along with members of the Sexuality and Gender Alliance (SAGA) and Students for Gender Violence Awareness (SFGVA) helped raise $170 from selling artwork at the International Day of Silence silent auction in Carter Hall this past Wednesday. The International Day of Silence actually takes place April 21, but the event was held this past Wednesday to
gather more participation. The day is meant to bring awareness to the effects of anti-LGBT bullying. SAGA President Kayla Dick said eight of the 12 paintings, digital prints and drawings were sold and 12 percent of proceeds were donated to the Trevor Project, a crisis line primarily for LGBT individuals. Halford, who is from a town south of Baton Rouge, Louisiana, said Evansville treats the LGBT community differently than his home town. “(Evansville) is an extremely accepting place,” he said. “Its one of the major reasons I enjoy being here. The people are kind. They are caring.”
Halford is the founder of SAGA. He said he started the group after realizing there wasn’t an LGBT group on campus. “I went to complain and before I could actually complain, they asked me ‘how would you be interested in actually starting one and I said ‘sure,’” he said. “We needed one.” Members from SAGA and SFGVA were joined by representatives from the Tri-State Alliance (TSA), “a primary social service and educational organization that serves the diverse gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender communities of Southwestern Indiana,” according to the organization’s website.
The event also featured a speech from TSA President Wally Paynter, who said LGBT bullying has become a major problem in Evansville. Paynter mentioned the death of Central High School student Roman Kellough, who fatally shot himself outside of the school in early January. Paynter said the TSA sent over 100 letters to Vanderburgh County Superintendent David Smith demanding that he recognize Kellough’s death as a consequence of LGBT bullying. “Our goal is to raise pressure,” he said. “We need to make sure that they know this won’t go away.”

“One of the big things I really want to push is student safety here on campus,” she said. “The last thing I want is for a student to be harmed in any way simply because they didn’t know what to do.” Bueltel said she hopes to make SGA more external and focus on outreach instead of working internally. “We do a lot of asking from students to come to us,” she said. “I want to meet them at the halfway point and go to them as well.”

“I had a lot of problems staying awake, I was groggy and I had anxiety and depression,” she said. “I didn’t know what was going on, and at first they thought I had thyroid cancer.” Once she was diagnosed with Grave’s, Livengood chose to remove her thyroid, and now she takes regular doses of the hormone the thyroid produces in lieu of an actual organ. “It held me back from my schoolwork and my job,” she said. “We’re still trying to figure out what the right dosage is, and when it’s not right, I sometimes can’t get to class or move at all.” Livengood said through her health struggles, teachers have been understanding. “They let me take the time on days like that, and my friends have always been there to make sure I’m doing okay,” she said. “When I need support, there’s people around for it.” Although Livengood has struggled through her college career, she said she’s changed for the better. “I’m definitely not the person I was when I came here,” she said. “I’ve learned through mistakes.” One of those mistakes came when Livengood was fired from being a Resident Assistant for drinking on campus. “It sucks, and you feel the repercussions of your mistakes,” she said. “But I know mistakes don’t define you, they just help make you.” Since then, Livengood has held positions in Alpha Kappa Psi, the campus’s business fraternity, and she completed an internship with Sherwin Williams. After graduation, Livengood has a confirmed full-time position with Sherwin Williams. “There were times when I went to my advisor and just cried in his office,” she said. “I thought I was going to fail or get kicked out of school completely. This is a place somewhere I never thought I’d be able
to be.” Livengood said she’s proud to be the first college graduate in her family. “It’s so weird that I’m the first one,” she said. “It’s so exciting and an honor. My family talks about it way more than I even do.” Livengood said her family, specifically her mother, has been her biggest source of motivation. “My mom has always made sure I have what I needed even though we have so little,” she said. “My family was counting on me to finish school. It kept me going, knowing they believe in me.” Livengood also has friends who support her wholeheartedly. “(Livengood) is passionate about everything that she does,” senior criminal justice and psychology major Elizabeth Hall said. “She’s really dedicated to her work.” Hall has known Livengood since they both started at the university as freshmen, and now they’re both graduating together. “Throughout her time here at USI, it’s been up and down for her,” Hall said. “She knows things happen, and maybe it’s not the road she would choose to go down, but a new road will always open.” When Hall and Livengood walk across the graduation stage April 29, they’ll be doing so with 1,495 other graduates. The Pott College of Science, Engineering and Education will hold its ceremony at 9 a.m., the College of Nursing and Health Professions at 12 p.m., the Romain College of Business at 3 p.m. and the College of Liberal Arts at 6 p.m. The graduate student ceremony will be held at 6 p.m. April 28. “USI meant a fresh start for me,” Livengood said. “It’s provided more opportunities than I could get anywhere else. When I’m old and wrinkly, I’ll show my grandkids where I went. I’ll always look back on it and be proud.”

REVIEW
Audible Bobiverse sequel impresses, infuriates
‘The Space Between Us’ offers interesting plot Available on DVD May 16
Available on Audible “For We Are Many” by Dennis E. Taylor was one of my most anticipated book purchases of 2017, so much so I pre-purchased the audiobook simply so I would be able to download it the minute of release. Unfortunately, it seems both the author and the audiobook engineers were in just as much of a rush to release the story. The first book, “We Are Legion (We Are Bob)” tells the story of Bob Johansson, a nerdy software engineer who ends up cryogenically frozen in present time, only to awaken as an AI copy of himself 100 years later. This digital representation of all of Bob’s thoughts, memories and feelings is crammed into a Von Neumman probe (ships with 3D printers capable of replicating items at the molecular level) and told to go find colonizable planets to save humanity. “Legion” broke the mold between its fascinating story of a man coming to terms with his inhuman existence while also copying himself many times over, creating many distinct variations on what makes a Bob “Boblike,” and a stellar performance from audiobook narrator Ray Porter. “For We Are Many” expands on many plot threads from the first novel and serves as a wonderful middle book in a trilogy. If read in physical or e-book form, I’m sure it would’ve kept my interest beginning to end, but as a sequel to the winner of Audible’s “best sci-fi book of 2016” award,
I find myself massively disappointed with the quality of the finished product. The audio quality drops at least once per chapter due to poor audio mixing, with Porter’s voice going from sounding like he’s in the same room as you to the audio quality of a Skype call with someone in an Antarctic snowstorm. It sounds as if Porter flubbed a few lines and nobody noticed until far too late to book an actual recording studio for him to redo said lines, and then tried to make due with alternate tech. I listen to audiobooks during 12 hour drives for work, and even over the tire noise and rattling cargo, I found myself clearly able to distinguish between the normal mix and pick-up audio. There is also the hot-button topic of pronunciation. Without delving into spoiler territory, the first novel had reason for Porter to say the name Archimedes many times, and Porter said “Arc-him-id-eez” for the entire recording. The Archimedes problem was irritating as hell. There are many words in the English language where there is room to wiggle with
pronunciation; Archimedes is not one of them. Many negative comments were written in reviews of the first book because of this, including some from me as I ground my teeth listening to the umpteenth “Arc-himid-eez.” Unfortunately in an attempt to correct the Archimedes problem, either Porter or the engineers directing him decided to change his pronunciation of a few lesser words in which there was room to wiggle with pronunciation, leading listeners to be both excited about Archimedes and sad that suddenly the characters are calling AMI programs “amys” all of the sudden. Before you look down at my final score, please keep in mind the actual content of “We Are Many” is exactly what I wanted out of a sequel, lots of fun plot developments, new alien races, a legitimately scary antagonist is introduced as the Big Bad for the series’ finale and many laughs are had along the way. Dennis Taylor delivered a lot in a relatively short amount of time. The actual content of the book is a solid 4.5 star book, I’d just suggest getting ready to be pulled out of the universe several times per chapter by the nagging audio problems. As fast as this sequel was crapped out, the third Bobiverse book drops in August. Here’s hoping Audible Studios realizes where its bread is buttered and does a couple of proof-listens.

Musical delivers timeless tale beautifully
Astonishing. From the acting, to the vocals, all I can only applaud the cast of Little Women. The musical, which was performed on campus April 20-23, centers around the lives of the four March sisters and tells their tale of growing up. The cast did a beautiful job telling the four sisters’ stories. Maggie Brown, who played Beth March, the third sister, portrayed the gentleness of her character
with ease. Her performance was nothing short of natural. When I was a sophomore in high school, our musical department performed Little Women. This served as my only experience with the story. Watching this story now, with these performers, hit home for me as I thought about all of the wonderful memories that I share with my own sisters. It reminded me to cherish the little moments. I laughed and I cried. The music made me want to

sing along, and the dancing made me want to dance the night away. Speaking of choreography, this was Matthew Moore’s first time to choreograph a musical at USI. I felt the choreography fit the era of the musical well and added to the overall impact of the story. This production made me think about life, and the people I love. I look forward to what the Performing Arts Department will bring about in the future.
Released officially in early February and shown on campus only last week, “The Space Between Us” tells an interesting story about a boy named Gardner Elliot who is the first person to be born on Mars. Sixteen year old Gardner longs to visit Earth, where his internet friend Tulsa and mysterious father live. When Gardner gets the opportunity to visit Earth, he goes all out and breaks all boundaries set for him to be able to explore the wondrous new planet and to find out all the secrets about his origins. To be honest, my first impression about “The Space Between Us” was that it was going to be a romantic movie with the interesting plot device that one of the characters grew up on Mars. Of course there’s nothing wrong with romantic movies, it’s just that generally they’re not my cup of tea. However, upon watching the opening of the film, my first impressions vanished immediately. The beginning of the movie opened with a scientific conference involving sending the first group
of humans to Mars to see whether it was possible for humans to inhabit the planet if inevitable chaos ever swept over Earth, which made me seriously consider whether a plan like this could actually work and if it was a good idea. The incorporation of scientific theory and exploration was a very eye-opening and thought-provoking experience. Not much later, we were introduced to the main protagonist Gardner. I didn’t really get much of a feeling for Gardner’s character until he arrived on Earth, in which his adorable awkwardness and curiosity shown through when trying to adapt to being around humans living on Earth for the first time. His awkwardness and innocent oblivion made for great comic relief and quickly made me develop an attachment to him. Not long after, Tulsa was introduced. Although some small aspects of her introduction were confusing and not well explained, I found her character admirable with her tough yet also soft personality.
The movie as a whole was enjoyable. I came out liking it more than I initially thought I would. The lighting and the camera shots of the movie were not mindblowing, but were pretty decent and pleasant to watch. There were many familiar actors in the film that did great portrayals of their characters and nicely executed emotional scenes and expressions. If I had to point out something in the film that I didn’t quite fancy, the only thing I can really say is that the movie fell victim to insta-love. But of course this is expected in a movie that’s only two hours long, so this didn’t really bother me that much. It was to be expected for the two main characters to fall in love in a short timespan. Although I would say “The Space Between Us” is nothing extraordinary, it does exhibit it’s own uniqueness and will entertain those who choose to watch it. If you’re interested in a movie with an interesting plot yet some familiar movie tropes, then be sure to check out this “The Space Between Us.”

‘Bates Motel’ falters in end Just as Norman Bates stumbled as he took his last breath, Bates Motel stumbled in its series finale. After glowing reviews of this series’ season 5 episodes, particularly the penultimate one, my disappointment came as a surprise to me. But perhaps it shouldn’t have. I take for example renowned series Breaking Bad. Amazing show, but controversial and disappointing as it concluded. A friend posed the question: “has any series finale really been good?” With a track record of me adoring 4 seasons and the majority of season 5, perhaps my bar had been set too high. But Bates Motel concluded in a way incredibly similar to Breaking Bad, leaving fans distraught about the lack of justice found in the ending. At the end of the penultimate episode of Bates Motel, Alex Romero (Nestor Carbonell) takes a detained Norman Bates (Freddie Highmore) hostage to find Norma’s body. When the two find it in the woods, Alex turns his back on Norman to speak a heartwrenching final goodbye
to his dead wife. Norman comes up behind and kills him swiftly. There are three problems with this scene, one of which I’ll get to later. The first is that Romero has not been built as a character to be dumb enough to turn his back on a deranged murderer. The second is that Norman Bates has been established as mentally ill, and there’s no hint of that delusion when he kills Romero. It’s an act of cold-blood, and it’s pointless and unsatisfying. The final scene is where Bates Motel really draws the parallel to Breaking Bad’s ending---Norman Bates is killed by his brother Dylan, and he dies in peace. Following his final breath in his brother’s arms, he joins his mother in heaven. Here lies my final problem with the end of the Romero scene--- Norman, the deranged serial killer, got more closure and peace

than the tortured former sheriff. Bates Motel isn’t a series where I’d expect everyone to get a happy ending. It was expected that Romero would die, but the show treated him like a side plot that didn’t need justice in the end. That’s not the Bates Motel I’ve come to know and love. One of my greatest loves for this show lies in its ability to make me sympathize with a serial killer. In this final episode, I didn’t any longer. The simple choice of not showing Norman as deranged or influenced by his insanity in killing others in this final episode made all the difference. I hadn’t realized how subtle it was before, but the finale changes how I viewed my previously favorite character. The flaws in this final episode lie not with the acting; the performances in the finale were as emotional as ever. It simply wasn’t written well, and it felt disjointed from the parts I loved so much. In the end, Romero didn’t get his closure, and I didn’t either.

Let upperclassmen board swap by Bailey Meenach bemeenach@eagles.usi.edu
As a freshman, I loved “board swapping” my meals. I thought this was the greatest program because I didn’t want to eat at the Loft for every meal. I chose my meal plan as a sophomore with hopes of using this program, but my expectations were shattered when I learned that this pro-
gram was not available with upperclassman meal plans. Now as a junior, my parents prefer that I still get a plan with meals available, so that if I run out of munch money I can still have meals. However, the disadvantage to this is that my schedule doesn’t correlate with Loft hours. That means I used my munch money up pretty quickly.
Here’s to you by Sarah loesch editor@usishield.com
I can say with the utmost sincerity that this year was the hardest year of my life. Of course, I’m young. There’s always time for a reign of chaos to sneak up on me when I’m 42, but for right now, 21 has been rough. Personally, professionally and academically I struggled. It all seemed to tie into the other and wanted to be bothersome all at the same time. I spent the majority of fall semester in tears, attempting to hide them from people who would have tried to take my stress upon themselves. I spent the rest of the time feeling like I wasn’t enough. Praise from anywhere was a fleeting feeling. No one had the ability to be louder than the voice in my head. A while ago, someone whose opinion matters greatly to me said I was “the most emotional person” they knew. I didn’t take it as an insult or a compliment. It seemed more a statement of fact. But this year it was more of a barrier, causing me to question and dive deeper into issues than I should. If something went wrong I could easily twist it into
somehow being my fault. All that said, this year also taught me more than any other year of my life. It taught me my limits (oh, how I tested them) and solidified my passion for journalism. It showed me that even in my hardest year I’m surrounded by luck and love — the two biggest things that have gotten me to this point. The issue you are reading is my last as editor-in-chief. I’ve cherished this organization, and the people in it, more than they could ever imagine. It’s awarded me connections, confidence and confidants, all of which I hope last past my December graduation. This is my meager attempt at a thank you. Thank you to the people who kept me going this year whether you knew it or not. A surface level problem was very rarely that for me this year. The talks, meals or even simple texts we had often helped me through a day. They probably offered me much more than the simple distraction you hoped to provide. This year will fade; my memories of it most likely will too. But I can guarantee my love and respect for all of the people The Shield brought into my life, directly or indirectly, will not.
So, I have been stuck eating meals at the Loft whenever I get the opportunity. Allowing upperclassmen to use the board swap program would allow flexibility to our meal plans. I do not see why freshman meal plans are the only options that receive this benefit. Students have many meals that do not get used by the end of the semester because the Loft’s hours
make it extremely hard to use them. Many students are outraged by the inflexibility of our meal plan options. I encourage Sodexo to take a serious look at this, as many students have considered dropping their plans in order to save money. This request can be answered by giving the board swap program to upperclassman meal plans.
This program would save students money, because a normal meal at the Loft is around $12, whereas a board swap meal is around $8. Another way to look at this request is to change the Loft’s hours. Many students need to use meals over the weekend but only have the option to do so in the morning. Adding a dinner session

Final illustration SHIELD Editorial Board

Unfortunately, it’s my time to graduate from the university and The Shield. Page six has been my baby for the last two years (except for this week since it’s page five). Every week I’ve designed it, produced its illustrations and cartoons and even changed its house ads. To say the least, it has been an irreplaceable experience. Visuals are necessary when it comes to distributing news these days. Illustrations and graphics are the first thing a reader sees when they pick up a newspaper. Visuals draw people in and promote readership, and sadly I can’t do them anymore. I’ve been amazed at some of the feedback I’ve received since I started doing weekly illustrations on the opinion page. Several teachers who read the paper have told me how they enjoyed the way my drawings add interest and life to the articles on the page, and it’s not because the artwork was any good, but because it gave them something fun
to look at amidst a sea of text. I never would have realized this potential if I had not applied to work for The Shield. Having to draw nearly every week for the paper has improved my illustration skills. I hate to admit it as an art major, but I’m very lazy when it comes to drawing on my own time. I don’t keep a personal sketchbook to practice in, so consequently I am slow to improve. Being a good illustrator requires technical skill but also a fair amount of wit and creativity to teach or communicate the message of your subject. I very much lacked the latter when I started at the newspaper. Every week I have been confronted with new stories and opinions to illustrate. In the beginning, it was really tough to visually represent an uninspiring monologue about someone’s political views. But the more you are challenged, the more you grow. Now at the end of a twoyear stretch of weekly challenges, I find I have a lot more confidence and creativity during the ide-
ation stage of planning an editorial drawing. The Shield has been a great outlet to apply what I have learned about art and design at the university. There are things we learn in class that don’t make sense until you realize you need to apply them in a real-world situation. To the immature art student, principles of art and design like balance, emphasis, value and form just seem like theoretical obscurities that nobody needs to bother with if they have enough raw talent. Good art and visual communication hang on this theoretical framework. As art students, these things aren’t exciting to learn, but they can make our work 100 percent better. As I head out into the “real” world, I feel grateful to have a portfolio full of interesting illustrations and boosted confidence in my drawing ability as a result of the past two years at the Shield. I’m going to miss page six… and all the other Shield staff too of course.

‘Leave the program better’ Softball splits series on Senior Day
Senior Haley Hodges prepares to swing at an incoming pitch during the team’s Senior Day game.
by Taylor O’Neil hall sports@usishield.com @TaylorOHall318
On softball’s senior day, No. 5 Southern Indiana split a pair of games against Truman State before the festivities could begin. The day started off prom-
ising with the team entering game one with its highest national ranking in program history and a seven-game win streak that stretched back to April 8. With freshman pitcher, Jennifer Leonhardt (23-1) in the circle for game one, Southern Indiana took the
win 9-5. Leonhardt pitched 6 1/3 innings and sophomore utility player, Caitlyn Bradley (3), picked up the save after pitching the rest of the seventh inning extending the win streak to eight games. Senior Lexi Reese took over game one on offense.
seniors were honored. “I had been in a slump in the games before that,” Reese said. “I came out with a new mindset. I felt like we were seeing the ball a whole lot. I was seeing the ball better and hitting for us is contagious.” Reese, who transferred to USI after spending her freshman year at IU, said she’s thankful the team accepted her as soon as she arrived in 2014. “I couldn’t ask for any better senior day teammates,” Reese said. The team went 13for-31 (.419) at the plate in game one, which is its second best day at the plate during the month of April and nine runs is the most the team has scored since March 24 when they scored 10 against Trevecca Nazarene. They followed up the most prolific day on offense in the past month by being outscored 7-3 in game two and finished 5-for-26 (.192) at the plate compared to Truman who went 13for-33 (.393). “I think we had a lot of really good, solid Photo courtesy of Photo services contact line drives, right to (the Truman players),” Sue Kunkle, She started the day by hitUSI’s head coach, said. ting a home run to left cen- “We had four hard hits to ter in the first inning which the third basemen and one put USI on the board.

Kunkle said when TruThough she only had one man pitcher, Lauren Dale hit over the last five games, (15-6), started throwing a Reese came up big on the changeup, the offense startday her and the four other ed struggling to get hits. She
said the defensive mistakes also took the team out of the game mentally. Kunkle said even though the team split the games with Truman, it was still an important day for the team as they honored the senior class. “Our team’s a family,” Kunkle said. “I feel it’s like when you lose a big chunk of your family and they move on. It’s like dropping your kids off at college for the first day and saying goodbye to them.” She siad It’s going to be especially sad when the teams steps out on the field for the first day of practice next season and players that have been staples on offense and defense will no longer be putting on their jerseys or lacing up their cleats “I always tell them to leave the program better than they found it and they all have,” Kunkle said. Haley Hodges, who had witnessed three other Senior Day’s before taking part in her own Sunday, said it’s always a tough day because the underclassmen players have to say goodbye to their graduating teammates. She said it’s a different feeling because she’s one of the players being honored this time instead of cheering her senior teammates on as their families join them on the field for gift giving and picture taking. “It makes these past four years feel more real,” Hodges said. “They’re giving us a thank you for being seniors and sticking around for four years and for the marks we’ve left on this program. It’s an honor to be recognized like that.”
