Where are the cats? University slams TNR idea after cats go missing By JAMES VAUGHN News editor
environment from which they were collected.
After months of strenuous efforts to get the university to implement a Trap, Neuter and Return (TNR) policy for the feral cats on campus, administration brought down the gavel on Audrey Maxwell. No. TNR is a method of trapping feral cats, spaying or neutering them and returning them to the
The decision The final decision came from Vice President for Finance and Administration Mark Rozewski, but Maxwell was never told that he had the final say. “I have the greatest respect for her. She’s worked very hard. She’s done substantial work,” Rozewski said. “We just have a
different sense of what needs to be done.” Rozewski doesn’t think TNR is a good option for the university because he doesn’t think, from a business standpoint, it’s a sustainable program. Maxwell met with Rozewski and Associate Provost for Student Affairs Marcia Kiessling earlier in the semester. Rozewski said he would contact Maxwell after spring break with a decision. But when she returned,
Rozewski was avoiding her, she said. “I emailed him and he did not respond to me for over a week,” Maxwell said. “Immediately it was ‘no,’” Maxwell said. “Once I leave, he doesn’t trust anyone else to take over. He said, ‘There’s no possible way that you can assure me that it will be sustainable after you leave.’” But Audrey has received backing from the Student Gov-
Helfrich to retire after 36 years By PAOLA MARIZAN Staff writer The most challenging task Stephen Helfrich endured during his 36 years at USI wasn’t a construction project, but a fire in the Science Center in 1998. Electrical cables caught fire in the utility tunnel and smoke filled the building. “The biggest challenge was to get the Science Center clean and back in operation,” Helfrich said. The director of facility operations and planning will retire July 31. “I started as an engineer,” Helfrich said. “In those days, USI was ISUE (Indiana State University Evansville).” Helfrich, a graduate of Purdue University, was promoted to assistant director in 1978 when USI was smaller. From there, he has seen USI grow over the years. When he arrived, campus consisted of the Wright Administration Building, the Science Center and parts of the Physical Plant and Rice Library. One of his first responsibilities was overseeing the construction of the Physical Activities Center. “To see each building being constructed and open is very satisfying,” Helfrich said. He said he has been lucky to work at USI. He described his experience as “great” and USI as a “great place to work.” “I’ve always enjoyed the job,” Helfrich said. His predecessor, John, impacted his professional life.
A pouring in of support “If that’s their concern, she’s shown she has community support,” said Audrey Julian, ACA administrative director. “She has the backing of a tried and true rescue. When she leaves, we will help continue it.” Julian has been working close-

Community says racism still exists By ARMON SIADAT Staff writer A crowd gathered in the USI Amphitheater Friday for the 2nd annual Rally Against Racism. The event highlighted performances and speeches from student organizations and city leaders in an effort to raise awareness for racism. Attendees also took a spoken oath to help end racism by not participating in it and discouraging others from engaging in it as well. City Councilwoman Stephanie Brinkerhoff Riley issued a proclamation on Mayor Lloyd Winneck’s behalf because he wasn’t able to attend. “Friday, April 25, is Stand Against Racism Day in Photo by BLAKE STAYROOK/The Shield

The summer job market in the Evansville area is brimming with opportunity, yet many college students are stressing over finding a part time job. Meliyah Harris, a freshman marketing and graphic design major, is looking for summer employment. “It’s so stressful,” she said. “I can’t find many places that are hiring.” Phil Parker, USI’s Office of Career Services and Placement director, said he feels the summer job market is “balanced.” “It’s not an overwhelming amount of openings that we can see through the Career Center,” he said. The Career Center, however, does not keep track of how many students take on summer jobs since the university does not require students to inform Career Services every time they take one on. “As with any job search, students are going to have to work to find them,” he said. Students looking for summer jobs may not have to look too hard, though. With only about 46 percent of working college students staying in their current positions and working through the summer, many Evansville-area businesses are looking for summer help. The West Side Buffalo Wild Wings has a staff primarily made up of college students. Of the 80 percent of its staff that are currently enrolled in a university, only 40 percent will stay on through the summer. Many other businesses, on both the East and West Sides of Evansville, are seeing similar trends. Dan Williams, AMC Evansville 16 manager, said he is currently hiring summer help to replace the 30 percent of his staff that will not be working at the theater during summer break. When hiring college students for summer jobs, the qualifications for the position and the qualities of the applicant that employers are looking for are unique to each manager. “We’re looking for someone who is going to be an asset to the company,” Williams said. “We look at how well you respond to interview questions and how well you retain information given to you.” He also looks at past work experience. Other businesses, such as Old Chicago on the East Side and Papa John’s on the West Side, also focus on an applicant’s past work experience. Both businesses are currently hiring summer staff. Nicole Clifford, manager of the east side Logan’s Roadhouse, focuses more on an applicant’s personality than she does on his or her past work experience when hiring new staff members. “We look for upbeat, positive and confident people that can walk up and start a conversation with guests,” she said. “You can teach someone to serve, but you can’t teach them personality.” While an applicant’s personality is also one of the biggest factors taken into consideration by the West Side Logan’s Roadhouse, the steakhouse is primarily looking for availability. Both Logan’s Roadhouse locations are cur-

I would have left.” He said Helfrich is a very funny man and jokes about some “silly” ideas he’s had in the past. “Five years ago, we had a problem with bees around the dumpsters on campus,” Mann said. “And (Helfrich) read somewhere that if you slice cucumbers and put them around the dumpster enclosure, it would keep the bees away.” Mann said this didn’t work. He said the next day there were more bees and they had to collect all of the cucumbers with bees everywhere. “It was really funny,” Mann said. He said Helfrich has set a great example, not only professionally, but for raising his kids, too. “I saw him pour himself into his kids,” Mann said. “He gave them everything they needed to be successful.” Mann said Helfrich has been a mentor, a friend and a boss. He said 85 percent of everything on campus has been built under Helfrich’s direction. “He’ll be missed,”
Mann said. Gary Burgdorf, construction administrator, has worked with Helfrich for 10 years. “It’s gone by very fast,” Burgdorf said. “We have built some of the nicest and most popular buildings on campus.” Burgdorf said he and Helfrich are very proud of the projects they have completed. “He’s been one of the most fair men I’ve had the opportunity to work with,” Burgdorf said. Helfrich’s hobby is farming and he plans to focus on his cattle and his pigeons after retirement. He said he plans to travel with his wife and go see his daughters, too. “I plan on enjoying that,” he said. “But I will miss the staff.” Helfrich joked about working out at the Recreation, Fitness and Wellness Center, which he attends regularly and plans on attending after his retirement. “You might see me around,” Helfrich said. “Maybe bugging the people here a little bit.”

vinced that’s the problem. “It’s untrue. The cats are breeding,” Maxwell said. “It’s a multifaceted issue - he needs to address the student part of the issue and the animal part of the issue. That’s what I’ve always wanted to do. In my perfect world, I would give the (resident assistants) fliers to give to students when they find animals in their apartments so that the students know where they can put these animals.” Rozewski loved that idea, Maxwell said. He even asked her to write something up by the middle of the summer.

ly with Maxwell, who regularly asks for her advice and bounces ideas off of her. “If she’s willing to get it up and running, we’re willing to do whatever she needs us to do,” Julian said. “I don’t agree with (the university’s) decision. The problem is not just going to go away. They’re going to have to keep paying to trap these cats one way or another. This has been going on for decades. Why not try something new?” She said the organization would help Maxwell write grants. Feline Fix, another local nonprofit, offered Maxwell its resources as well. “They told me they would transport cats to the Vanderburgh Humane Society for me, and they would come out and help me trap the cats,” Maxwell said. “So that was very good for me because I know I won’t be alone if I can get this OK’d, but obviously the university doesn’t see it as beneficial to them.” Rozewski isn’t convinced. “Yeah. ... They’ll help her until they stop and the students will help her until they don’t want to anymore,” Rozewski said. “This year’s crop has an interest in it. Next year’s crop may not. I wouldn’t conflate her opinion with that of the entire student body.” After Rozewski told her no, Maxwell turned the tables. Where are the cats?
• Case suspended: No suspects listed, no leads. No follow up investigation unless new information arises. • Case cleared: The incident is resolved, suspect was identified and will be adjudicated appropriately. • Case pending: On hold, awaiting new information. • Violation of University Policy: Violation of the Studentʼs Rights and Responsibilities. • Failure to comply with a university official: Any university official, from an area coordinator to a security officer. *Residential entry: Someone walked into the residence. This is different than burglary because burglary is entering with intent to commit a felony.
Maxwell had a running log of feral cats on USI’s campus. She had tracked 11 by early March. But when the junior psychology major returned after spring break, only one cat remained. “I told him, I said, ‘OK, well I have a couple of
questions for you,’” Maxwell said. “’Do you know where these cats are? Do you know if (Stephen Helfrich) trapped them?’ He said, ‘I have no idea. He just does that when he wants to do it.’” Helfrich, director of

facilities, operations and planning, said it has been about a year since the Physical Plant trapped any cats. He said if someone suggested the Physical Plant trap cats right now, he’s not sure he’d OK it. “I’d probably say, ‘Eh, I’m not sure. We’re going to have to see,’” Helfrich said. “Since Audrey has brought this to our attention we haven’t done anything with (the cats).” ACA pulls animals directly from animal control. Each cat that comes in has a card stating where it was picked up and under what circumstances. “There are no USI cards,” Maxwell said. “There are not large numbers of USI cards at any point in time. Ever.” During an earlier meeting, Helfrich told Maxwell he had turned over 29 cats to animal control at one point, but there’s no record
on campus. “There’s not a document about it,” Rozewski said. “It’s an element of management discretion.” Maxwell asked Rozewski where the funds to trap the cats is coming from. He said it’s such a minor issue, there probably isn’t anything in the university’s budget. When Maxwell told Rozewski she wasn’t going to stop pushing for a policy, he said, “I’m not telling you to stop. I’m just telling you this is the university’s answer.” Rozewski said the university needs to get to the root of the problem, which is students bringing pets into their apartments and then releasing them. “We need to make sure they take them home or to the Humane Society as opposed to just releasing them into the woods,” he said. But Maxwell isn’t con-
Where is the solution?
As for the cats, or cat, that is on campus now, Rozewski expects them to just “go away eventually,” Maxwell said. “Um, no. These cats are going to be there for a very long time. The students are feeding them. There are dumpsters. I don’t find it acceptable to just let the cats live out there without any medical care or attention,” Maxwell said. “I don’t think (the university) is thinking of it as beneficial to the students. I think they’re thinking of it as a problem that they don’t want to really address right now. But I just don’t find that answer acceptable.” Maxwell plans to continue to move forward. “I just feel like I’ve been really polite and I felt like that would get me somewhere, but obviously I need to be addressing the public,” she said. “The public is what’s going to change the administration’s mind. I’m going to be in the free speech zone. I’m going to be passing out fliers. I’m going to be on the news. They’re going to tell me yes because I’ve worked too hard on this for them to tell me no.”

“It struck a passion for me that I didn’t know I had about nutrition,” she said. “Through that, I found my calling. I’ve never regretted changing from biology to dietetics.” Associate Professor of Nutrition Julie McCullough calls Crowder a humble being. “She came into class, and the students had to tell me she won Miss Indiana,” McCullough said. McCullough has advised Crowder for three years and has seen how Crowder’s platform works into her life. “She really looks for ways to take the ideas of healthy eating into really every aspect of her life,” McCullough said. Crowder once helped with a farmer’s market and gave out recipe ideas. “She got such a positive response she decided she wanted a way to get her recipes out there,” McCullough said. Crowder maintains a Facebook page, as well
as a blog, pertaining to healthy eating called Simply Sylvia. “She wanted to make a way to get her recipes out there. She’s even brought that back into the classroom,” she said. “It shows that she has such a passion and interest in healthy nutrition. It can give her opportunity to provide more information about healthy nutrition.” With the pageant over, Crowder wears a small support with sandals. Her doctor said she wouldn’t have to wear a cast unless it doesn’t get better, but she can walk – and she’ll be walking during graduation Saturday with the other 16 dietetics majors. After leaving USI and after the pageant in July, Crowder will continue her health and nutrition education at Eastern Illinois University where she will work as a graduate student and complete an internship, all while working to receive her master’s in nutrition and dietetics.
ics major will continue on to Washington D.C. July 6 to compete for the Miss United States title. The Miss United States organization focuses more on philanthropy rather than modeling, Crowder said. “I really didn’t know what to expect because it was my first time with this organization,” she said. “It has a very strong community service portion.” Crowder had a social
platform – Healthy Lifestyle Awareness – to promote throughout her time as Miss Indiana. “It goes hand in hand with my major,” she said. Crowder hasn’t always participated in pageants. “I kind of did it on a whim. This was the last year to do it before I settled down and have a career,” she said. “I knew that if I didn’t do it now, I never would.” She said the pageant wasn’t hostile or “catty.” She’s Facebook friends with all the other women in the pageant, and they send texts throughout the week to each other. “I was holding hands with my runner-up and I said – no matter what – I’m going to hug you,” Crowder said. She went to Illinois for the competition alone. Her mother, who is an accountant, was busy during the last part of tax season. “I did everything by myself,” Crowder said. “I was joking that it would only make sense that I would win, and no one was there to see me.” There was an interview part of the pageant and she doesn’t quite remember her question. “I’m going to be completely honest with you – it was like an out-of-body experience,” she said. Crowder remembered answering with how much of the pageant is about confidence. She credits USI to building her confidence. “I did not know anyone. It was four hours away, but I felt like I was home,” Crowder said. “I was really drawn to the hospitality here.” During her freshman year, she was the public relations ambassador for the National Watermelon Association
does not mean that we live in a post-racism world. Mackenzie Widener, a freshman education major at USI, said this is what resonated with her the most. Whether you want to admit it or not, racism is still an issue in our society,” she said. “It’s so easy to forget that, too. Even though you may not directly experience it, someone else is.” The event also featured speeches from representatives of the USI Black Student Union, Hispanic Student Union and Student
Government Association. Between speeches, attendees listened to the USI Jazz Band play as well as heard poetry read by students and university employees. Among the poets was Marcus Wicker, assistant professor of English at USI. Wicker read several poems including an original piece called, “Summer Visions,” which he dedicated to a friend. “The poems just made it all real,” Widener said. “To hear peers and professors perform original poems about their experiences
or their friends’ struggles with racism was moving.” The USI Counseling Center was also on hand to answer any questions and promote its services. “We offer several services throughout the semester,” said Stephanie Cunningham, counseling center therapist and outreach coordinator. “We offer monthly programs like Power Hour and Tolerance Talks, where we talk with students about how to handle and deal with discrimination.” The Counseling Service also offers individual
and group counseling year round. “We don’t have much foot traffic through the counseling center in regards to students seeking help for racism,” Cunningham said. “We continue to look for ways to make this issue more visible.” Cunningham said she would love to see the issue of racism worked into the university curriculum and individual classrooms. “It’s about dialogue,” she said. “And the Rally Against Racism is a good way to start.”

Erika Taylor, YWCA Evansville CEO, also took

Taylor, who served as the event’s host, said the rally is just the beginning. “You may hear people say, ‘I don’t see color.’ That approach doesn’t work.

LOST AND FOUND Pets and families reunite with help from Facebook page
“Pop Psychology” Neon Trees Available on iTunes
All of these pets have been reunited with their families with the help of Evansville Lost Pets Facebook page.
By BOBBY SHIPMAN Features editor Brewski enjoys running around in circles, playing and chasing birds. He is known for being rather lazy and rarely lasts the entire trek when going on walks with his family and usually has them carry him home. Brewski is Starla Kuper’s shih tzu and first “baby,” who has been a part of her family since her marriage five years ago. Brewski went missing a few weeks after the Kupers moved into their new home. “I was absolutely heartbroken that he was gone, so were my husband and daughter,” Kuper said. “It was like losing a family member.” Unable to find him after scouring the neighborhood, a friend of Kuper informed her about Evansville Lost Pets, a Facebook page dedicated to reuniting owners with their missing animals. Kuper began posting on the page daily. About five days later, a lady responded. Brewski was found. “I felt bad when we did go to her house to get him back because her sons really liked Brewski. They were sad to give him back,” Kuper said. “They even changed his name to Baby Jesus.” The night before Brewski’s escape, Kuper’s husband gave him a bath and had forgotten to put his collar back on, which listed their contact information.
“I know for a fact that Brewski would not have been found if I (had) never posted on Evansville Lost Pets,” she said. Jennifer Nunning said she can relate to the pain of losing an animal and how terrifying it can be. The USI occupational therapy assistant program instructor has two pets of her own and has come into contact with many people who have lost or found a pet through her years of work at Evansville Vanderburgh Animal Care and Control (EVACC). “I am just passionate about animals - especially animals who need help,” she said. Nunning began her work for EVACC as a volunteer taking photos for the website petfinder.com, which helps owners adopt found pets. She and friend Collette Purcell created the Evansville Lost Pets Facebook page in December 2010, shortly after Nunning’s black poodle mix Sophie ran away. “I had been on Facebook for a while, and I thought, ‘Well, why don’t we try this and see if it works,’” she said. “There were people that were kind of nay-sayers and thought, ‘That wont work.’ I don’t know that I thought it would work, but it took about ten minutes to start a Facebook page.” Her connections at EVACC and the Vanderburgh Humane Society (VHS) helped Nunning spread the word quickly through the animal-rescue community.
In 2010, the band Neon Trees made their debut with the song “Animal,” which had considerable mainstream success. Since then, they have been able to maintain a steady following and release two albums, the newest of which is “Pop Psychology.” While still maintaining much of the soulful vocal styling and power-pop approach to music, the album delves further into the new wave and alt-pop genres, demonstrating a strong ‘80s influence. This influence becomes even more evident with the aesthetics surrounding the album. The cover art is retro. The bright colors and spunky clothes beckon comparison to past cover art - maybe an album by David Bowie - while possessing a distinctively modern quality. The four promotional music videos released for the album keep this aestheticism. Each video,
however, is designed to fit the corresponding song accordingly, as the album still manages to be sonically diverse. The albums strongest points are definitely in songs like lead single, “Sleeping with a Friend,” and second single, “I Love You (But I Hate Your Friends),” both of which are infectiously catchy pop tunes. The former takes an R&B approach to alt-pop music, while the latter playfully merges new wave with a powerpop chorus reminiscent of Head Automatica. The slow, emotional ballad, “Voices in the Hall,” comes as a nice change in pace toward the middle of the album with its atmosphere creating the same bittersweet feeling you get when listening to Alphaville’s “Forever Young.” The album’s weakest points are in songs like closing track, “First Thing’s First.” Though the verses are introspective and soulful, the chorus is extremely cookie-cutter and doesn’t come close to doing the song justice. At its best, “Pop Psychology” might be Neon Trees at its best. At its worst, I just don’t care.

Rating 4.5/5 Brewski, the shih tzu, was found within five days with the help of Evansville Lost Pets.
Evansville Lost Pets has more than 9,000 fans. Nunning said her and Purcell spend many hours each day working on the page, but that it would be pointless without the page’s many followers. “It’s like 9,000 plus people all working together to get these pets home,” she said. “That’s why it works- because it’s a community effort.” She said Evansville Lost Pets also dedicates much of its time to educating people about the proper procedures to follow when rescuing or searching for a pet. The page does not have its own set of rules but follows VHS and EVACC regulations. Evansville Lost Pets also refers people to these organizations when rescuers want to adopt un-
claimed pets. Nunning said she encourages rescuers to use caution when returning pets because, although it seldom occurs, some people will claim pets having ill intentions. “You can ask for pets’ records or a picture, or you can request to meet them at their vet’s office or animal control,” she said. “Don’t just turn over that dog if you don’t feel comfortable.” Evansville Lost Pets has facilitated the rescue of roughly 3,000 lost pets with some reunitings occurring as quickly as seven minutes. “We have 16 reunited albums with 200 animals in them a piece,” she said. “(I’m) Not saying it’s only due to the page. It’s all a team effort.”

Their folky-blues-pop sound is on trend with many other acts like The Civil Wars and Mumford and Sons, but is still very different in how they serve up their sound by pacing the album like a four course meal instead giving you everything up front like a buffet. The instrumentals of the first track, “Diamonds,” welcome you to the record with great power, but the introduction of their vocals makes you want to stay. After hearing “Diamonds,” I was hooked and excited as to what I would hear next.
“You and I” is a great back-and-forth between Ramirez and Sudano that is a perfect representation of their sound and range with a dominate kick drum through the whole track, keeping you engaged. Although the album is great and each song could stand on its own, I miss the energy that brought me to listen to the album in the first place. “Diamond” and “Home” are the only songs that got my toes tappin’, but that’s my only problem with the record. I like their more upbeat folk sound. “Diamonds” is their first full-length studio album after their “Heart Beats” EP, which hooked many fans after it’s success. After listening to this record, I can see why.

USI, best yourself
By BRENNA WU Staff writer
As the year winds down, students are getting ready for finals, organizations are closing down business and students are counting down the days until summer vacation. As a freshman, this year was awesome. USI welcomed me with open arms, and I truly feel as if I am a new member in the Eagles family. I look forward to my upcoming years here at USI. To the graduates, I congratulate you on all of your successes and look forward to hearing from some of you in the future. I already have next school year in my mind and what I want to accomplish, what I want to join and how I plan on studying better. Student organizations, I want to challenge you to be bigger and better next school year. The one thing freshman complain about are weekend events. Every organization should plan events for a specific week and have all of the students get involved in USI - not just APB or SGA or the RFWC. Other organizations should think of something to plan. I also want to challenge the library, as well as academic skills, to set up something for students who are struggling. Yes, there are always tutoring hours and people willing to help students, but some struggle to even get there because they choose not to. We need to look into something mandatory to get these students on the right academic track. Maybe academic skills needs to look for a certain night a week mandatory for students who may have a D or below in a certain class. I want USI to become bigger and better than what it already is. Upcoming seniors, make your mark on USI as you conclude your final chapters here. And for classes after them, look for opportunities to lead. Let’s finish this year strong so we can look forward to a new spectacular school year! Have a good summer Eagles!
Goodbye, USI By JESSIE HELLMANN Opinion editor I’m sitting here at my desk in The Shield Office thinking about how lucky I am and crying. And trying to shove the crap I have accumulated in this place into little boxes. And crying. I literally can’t understand how four years have gone by so quickly. I mean, I’m completely perplexed – if one of you can help me understand this mysteriously quick passing of time, I would appreciate it. I think I’ve been sucked into a black hole. When I walk across the stage in the Physical Activity Center Saturday, I know a collective sigh of relief will issue throughout the crowd. I will no longer
be here to ask the administration hard questions they don’t want to answer (but don’t worry, I have trained my predecessors well). In all honesty, I had my doubts about USI when I came here, but the reasons I stayed are far more different than the reasons I came. I stayed because I truly work for one of the most hard-working student newspaper staffs in the nation (back to back best Division II Newspaper in the state, holla). I stayed because the opportunities you can receive at USI are endless if you have the drive and determination necessary to look for them. You get what you put into your college experience. So even though I tell
myself I’m not ready, I know USI wouldn’t kick me out of this place if I wasn’t. Not only did I learn important things in textbooks, I grew as a person. Who I am today is completely different than who I was four years ago. So to quote my spirit animal and faux-Indiana native Leslie Knope/Amy Poehler, “Great people do things before they’re ready. They do things before they know they can do it. Doing what you’re afraid of, getting out of your comfort zone, taking risks like that – that is what life is.” This is my challenge to you: continuously push yourself outside of your comfort zone because only then are you truly living.
Changes a-coming By SHANNON HALL Editor-in-Chief College changes you or at least that’s what everyone told me when I first started. I hated calling help lines for my laptop’s multiple breakdowns. They gave me mental breakdowns. Now if I have any problem with an electronic, my fingers are dialing the number before I realized what I’m even going to say. It’s a reflex now. A four-page paper took days to compose. Ha. I wrote a six-page paper two weeks ago, and it took me an hour and a half. (Yes, it had some slight editing problems, but I got that bitch done). College does change people. But it’s not like you become a whole new person. I still love wearing my “Dark Knight” t-shirts. But I can’t wear them when interviewing the governor or heading out to a house fire. College makes you rethink things. Thanks to some amazing professors who support women, I’ve looked more through a feminist lens - like when Elsa from “Frozen” wore the sexy dress. It didn’t need to have a slit that went all the way up to her
thigh. She was gorgeous anyway. Not all changes are necessarily for the better though. Thanks to my career path, I see shootings all the time, and it’s making me more desensitized to them. Since I’ve started working at The Shield, I’ve watched with the rest of the U.S. when mass shootings have happened. I was in the Courier & Press’s newsroom when the Purdue shooting occurred. Unfortunately with all those circumstances, it’s made me think about what I would do if something like that ever happened any closer to us. It makes me feel prepared, but it makes me sad that’s how I’m readying myself for the “real world.” College is supposed to prepare you for the real world, and I guess it has - but not in the way I expected. I’m ready to go forth and conquer with my new self, but I’m always making sure that the girl who loves to dance in the rain to relieve stress stays a part of who I am because she’s a part of me and I need her just like I needed the change.

Another run at National Tournament
Photo by BLAKE STAYROOK/The Shield
Infielder Andrew Cope is up to bat at a home game.
By CHRIS PROCACINA Sports editor Baseball Head Coach Tracy Archuleta and his team are in familiar territory. Currently sitting just outside the top 10 teams in the nation with an No. 11 ranking, the Eagles (36-8) hope to make another run at the National Tournament. Sophomore catcher Ryan Bertram hopes his team can finish strong and
win the conference outright. Despite dropping four of the first six games to start the season against California State University and Grand Valley State University, the Eagles are now playing their best baseball. The team matched a school record 15 game win streak beating Division I University of Evansville for the first time since 1988 and the first time in “The Battle at the Braun.”
“(Teams in California) get to practice outside all year round. You never want to make excuses - but you could tell the speed of the game - they were kind of used to it, but we played them tough,” Bertram said. “We came back home and played Grand Valley, who is a nationally ranked team as well, so we played two really tough teams early on, and I think that helped us realize where we need to be.”
The strong record and ranking of the team has brought back memories of the 2010 National Title season. “I remember watching the National Championship game, and I think the main thing we got to know from the guys on that team is that they loved to compete and loved to win,” Bertram said. “I think that’s something we’ve instilled in ourselves - just wanting to be a team play-
er and do anything to help the team win.” Archuleta and his team have their focus locked on the upcoming conference games in a hopes of finishing atop the GLVC. Still, he said this year’s team has the intangibles. “Every team has a little bit different personality, but the one thing that is common with all teams that have been successful is they’re a team - a group of people that get along.
There’s good chemistry,” Archuleta said. “That’s probably one of the things that I have noticed that has been very similar to successful teams of the past.” The team will finish their regular season with fellow GLVC member, University of Indianapolis, Friday and Saturday with back-to-back double headers.
Tennis teams wrap up seasons Women’s golf finished second By BRADIE GRAY Staff writer
Both of the USI men’s and women’s tennis teams battled through a tough 2013-2014 season. The men, however, managed to come out on top. “I’m surprised that we were 18 and 7,” Men’s tennis coach Chris Crawford said. “We didn’t play up to our potential this year.” The men’s team earned a 5-3 Midwest Region victory against the University of Missouri-St. Louis. and ranked fourth in the NCAA Division II Men’s Tennis Midwest Region. The lone senior on the team, Santiago Lopez, and sophomore Jack Joyce
earned All Great Lakes Valley Conference Men’s Tennis Honors and the team as a whole placed third in the GLVC match. As far as recruitment for next season goes, Crawford says that the men will be a completely different team next year. “I expect us to be one of the best, if not the best team in our conference next year,” Crawford said. The women’s team won 8 of their 23 matches this season. After a five match losing streak, the team earned a 7-2 victory over Great Lakes Valley Conference foe, Saint Joseph’s College at the Evansville Tennis Center. “We were not as productive as I was hoping to
be.” Women’s tennis coach Keely Porter said, “We had a lot of talent and a very young team. We struggled after spring break with keeping our practices consistent because we really do play like we practice.” The women closed out an 8-14 season with two 9-0 shutouts. “I think I have been here for 24 years and this is the second year that we haven’t made it to a conference tournament,” said Porter. The 24th-ranked men will continue their season Saturday against Wayne State University during the opening round of the NCAA Division II Midwest Region No. 1 Tournament.

Sophomore Anastasia Carter won the third ever individual GLVC title in USI history with a two-day score of 145 and earned All-GLVC honors.
By CHRIS PROCACINA Sports editor During the GLVC Championship April 2627, the women’s golf team had something more to play for than a tournament title. Head Women’s Golf Coach Don Bisesi made one trip with his team at the beginning of the year. They traveled to Las Vegas earlier this season as he continued his fight against cancer. The team has been motivating themselves to make their coach proud. After their performance, proud may be an understatement. Sophomore Anastasia Carter captured the third ever individual GLVC title in school histo-
ry with a two-day score of 145 and earned All-GLVC honors. The team, as a whole, finished second in the tournament and tied for their best finish of the year. Capping off their success was a selection for the NCAA Division II East Super Regional. Senior Taylor Merriss knew prior to their successful run at the GLVC Tournament hosted in Waterloo, Illinois that the team had yet to play their best golf. “We haven’t put our best course together yet which, hopefully, we can do in conference,” said Merriss, who finished 44 out of the 70 competitor field.
Fellow USI golfer Allison Koester finished 11th while Kaelyn Ligenfelter finished close behind in 13th. “Now he’s back on chemotherapy, but that’s pretty much all we know,” Merriss said. “He tells us all positive things so we don’t worry.” “I miss everybody and the whole athletic department has been really nice to me. I’m ready to get back out there and get back in the mix,” Bisesi said prior to the season. He will be cheering on his team as they compete at regionals May 4-6 at Purgatory Golf Club in Noblesville, Indiana.

An ‘unforgettable’ journey 73 percent of graduates to walk Saturday By JAMES VAUGHN News editor “Unforgettable,” Jordan Morrison said about his four years at USI. Morrison, who is graduating with a bachelor’s degree in nursing Saturday, will receive the President’s Medal, the highest honor awarded to a graduate. “I could not have accomplished what I have without my wonderful supporting family, my faculty and peer mentors, all of my classmates and all of the lifelong friends that I have made here,” Morrison said. “This award belongs to them as much as it does to me.” Once Morrison, who holds a 3.8 GPA, finishes finals next week, he will begin a new adventure in the Surgical, Trauma and Cardiovascular Intensive Care Unit at Deaconess Hospital’s main campus. Once he passes his state board examination, he will be able to work as a registered nurse within the unit. “I love interacting with new people and I love being able to help and offer support to those that need it during delicate times,” he said. “I’ve had wonderful experiences with other nurses in the hospital setting and I think it’s amazing the difference they can make in patients’ and families’ lives.” On top of his degree in nursing, Morrison completed a minor in Spanish studies. He said the pressures to go out and have fun were always there. “Luckily, I was able to
remind myself that I was at USI for my education first and foremost,” he said. He had to learn time management skills in order to have fun and spend time with his friends. Morrison is a first-generation college student, but he said that doesn’t mean his parents didn’t do all they could to provide for him. “My parents were wonderful providers and supported us in anything that we did,” he said. “My family was and continues to be very close, and my parents always encouraged all of us to continue our education and personal growth. I was very fortunate to grow up with such positive mentors as parents and four older brothers to look up to and admire.” If Morrison could tell his freshman self one thing, it would be to make the most of every opportunity in college and cherish every moment. “It has gone by very quickly and I will miss all of the experiences I had here at the university,” he said. Morrison is just one of 1,487 students eligible to graduate this weekend and 73 percent of those students are walking. “That’s the highest number we’ve ever had,” said Cynthia Brinker, vice president for government relations. Forty-eight percent of the graduating class walked in 2008, she said. Something new this year is a flower vendor. A canopy will be on hand Saturday for families who

want to show their support by purchasing bouquets for their graduate. “A lot of people will go to Schnucks or something,” Brinker said. “This way it’s convenient.” Last year, Brinker told The Shield she keeps an eye on graduates’ shoes. This year, she recommends everyone do it.
“It’s the one thing I find most interesting,” she said. “Some are more elaborate than other ones. You see everything from flip-flops to platform heels.” Graduation candidates in the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Nursing and Health Professions each received up to eight tickets for their
guests. The university announced a couple of weeks ago that no extra tickets would be available. “The LA has a 79 percent participation rate. Over 300 students are participating,” Brinker said. “So that’s the reason. They’ve exhausted the allotted number of tickets.” However, the university
will live stream all of the undergraduate ceremonies in the University Center East Conference Center. For the first time, the university created a hashtag for the ceremonies. Students and families can tweet at #USIGrad.
