So you think you know your Illinois State University campus, eh? Each Thursday, The Vidette features a unique view of a reasonably common site on campus. If you think you know where the photo was taken, email your response to vidette_birdseye@ ilstu.edu. We will draw a name from the correct submissions, and the winner will receive a pair of Vidette sunglasses. The winner from last week was Mike Pudge. The photo was of the outside of Schroeder Hall.

STEP-UP meeting to highlight fellowship

FOR THE KIDS
ISU’s second annual Dance Marathon looks to build upon the success of last year’s event Jessica Smith Staff Writer Looking for a way to give back to the community while getting fit and having fun? ISU’s second annual Dance Marathon will be held from 12 to 10 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 8 at McCormick Hall in the Student Fitness Center. Dance Marathon is a student run organization that raises money for the Children’s Hospital of Illinois in Peoria. There are Dance Marathon groups throughout the nation, each benefitting a children’s hospital close to them. Senior Chelsea Gutchewsky started the ISU group with some friends last year after transferring to ISU. She had previously been involved with the organization’s University of Iowa group during her first two years of college. “Iowa’s event was 24 hours — no sitting, no sleeping, no caffeine. It sounds miserable, I
know. But I can honestly say that it was one of the most inspirational 24 hours of my life,” Gutchewsky said. What she found most inspiring was meeting some of the children from the hospital. “Even though most of them had spent a majority of their childhood in the hospital, they were the happiest kids I have ever met,” she added. After transferring to ISU last year, Gutchewsky was disappointed to find that ISU didn’t have a Dance Marathon group. She and a few friends took matters into their own hands. “We contacted faculty from Dance Marathon organizations in other states, faculty from ISU, faculty from the Children’s Hospital, families involved with the Children’s Miracle Network…” “It was a lot of work considering we really had nothing to work with, but it was still extremely worth it and I am so happy that I, along with all of the other students involved, never gave up on
it,” Gutchewsky said. At last year’s premiere event, about 55 students participated and raised over $6,000. In addition to plenty of dancing, the event this year will include performances by dance teams, cheer teams and bands. A DJ, games, free food, and visits from families and children that have been involved with the Children’s Hospital in the past will also be stopping by throughout the day to tell their stories. Students can register up until the day of the event at www.helpmakemiracles.org/event/ dancemarathonilstu/. There is a registration fee of $20, which will go to the hospital. Students are encouraged to raise $100, but it is not mandatory. Students who register will also receive a free Dance Marathon T-shirt. For more information, contact Chelsea Gutchewsky at cngutch@ilstu.edu or visit the organization’s Facebook page, Illinois State University Dance Marathon.
The STEP-UP (Summer Teacher Education Partnership for Urban Preparation) program offers education students the opportunity to secure a paid summer internship in Chicago. The meeting will shed light on what STEP-UP is all about and inform students on what requirements they should meet in order to be selected for the internship. For summer 2014, the program will run from June 21 through July 18. “STEP-UP is a one-of-a-kind immersive experience where students learn to become highly effective teachers in Chicago,” Dakota Pawlicki, operations manager for Chicago Teacher Education Pipeline, said. “[The internship program] puts see fellowship page 6

Growing pains: Becoming an adult MY VIEW Chris Chipman Columnist
We are getting to that age where we are about to enter a new stage in our lives, where we settle down with a career and start the “adult” portion of our existence. I recently changed my major, and because of it I have been in an incredibly reflective
mood lately, and it got me thinking,” What will my life look like in five to 10 years?” “Will I be happy?” I’m sure other students have thought about this once or twice, and my vision of my own future scares me a bit. It might sound cliché, but I think my vision scares me because of one reason: I really do not want to grow up and enter the world of monotony the adult world tends to consist of. I look at my parents, while I respect them for what they do, I see people who are stuck in a neverending cycle of tediousness that chips away at their psyche. They never can just take a break because of the everyday burdens that adult life dumps on them. Bills pile up, projects are due for work and they
are dreading every minute of it. They worry about the most trivial things that really have no importance in the grand scheme of it all. I might be sounding a little cynical here, and there are instances where adult life can obviously be rewarding, but from personal experience and observation of other adults, I have come to the conclusion that most of them are just plain fed up. Their priorities are not straight anymore, and they worry themselves to death about essentially nothing of importance. These adults do not seem happy, and it makes me worried about becoming an adult because I do not want to lead a life similar to this. I do not want to settle for mediocrity, and pretend to be happy about it. Now, let us compare my bleak vision of the future to the life we currently lead. We are living in a time where many great memories are
nificant other for the first time. You will relive these memories because they were important to you; what gave your life meaning. I fear that adult life will take away these experiences, and I am not ready for that. I guess it boils down to this: I want the same satisfaction out of my future as I have with my current life. Living an unhappy life does not sound appealing to me, and I’m sure this is a commonly held belief on campus. I worry about adult life, and paralleling the examples of it I have observed along the way terrifies me. I would rather live every day to the fullest than slave away for the next 80 years.

created, shared and cherished. We are surrounded by all our peers, and have freedom at our fingertips. Yes, college is still hard work, but we are submerged in an environment where so many great people reside, which may never happen again to the same extent. We and our friends will eventually part ways, and life will, frankly, never be the same again. One of my favorite films, “American Beauty,” discusses the possibility of life after death being a stretch of memories that you relive over your lifetime. What kinds of memories will this infinite stretch consist of? I doubt you will relive the thousands of times you got up for work and half-consciously drove to just to sit behind a desk all day. No, you will relive the times where you and your friends took a road trip for spring break without a care in the world, or how you met your sig-
Do you see yourself being happy in five to 10 years when you are no longer in college?

A Baker three-pointer from the corner forced the Redbirds to call a time out, after which another three-point play by extended WSU’s lead to 41-33. “We were fired up going into half time and we had some momentum, we were talking about just staying focused and coming out on the second half and winning the first four minute war, but we came out flat and that hurt us,” Hunter said. WSU’s lead reached double digits due to a flagrant foul by Wills and a two-for-two performance at the free throw line by Baker with 13:36 left in the contest. A jaw-dropping dunk by Cotton
over John Jones was answered by a 9-0 Redbird run, bringing WSU’s lead down to double digits. The Shockers countered the Redbirds’ run with one of their own, scoring five points and shutting the ’Birds out of the game. Heading off the court, Muller hopes his team can learn from this game and continue to improve. “To beat a team like that you have to play 40 good minutes and we didn’t,” Muller said. “We have to fight and claw and play as hard as we can at all times to beat that team … we’ve got to learn from it.” The Redbirds hit the road on Saturday to take on Indiana State. Tipoff is scheduled for 5:05 p.m., this Saturday at the Hulman Center in Terre Haute, Ind.

into practice what students learn in coursework on campus. It also prepares students for a long career in teaching and increases their chances of being hired upon graduation,” he added. The fellowship gives students a chance to intern for four weeks during the summer to come to Chicago to coteach in a classroom. Other prospects include working with community organizations, taking seminars and living with host families during the four weeks. All current teacher education students that are set to student teach in Fall 2014 through Spring 2016 semesters are eligible to apply to STEPUP. Students must have a 3.0 GPA in
both their cumulative and major. The Friday meeting will provide education majors with the chance to get their questions answered, hear about the program in greater detail and learn from past participants. The summer program is part of the TEACHER+PLUS (Teacher Education and Assessment Continuum for Highneed Educators and Resources + Principal Leadership for Urban Schools) Project, which helps prepare teachers in the Chicago public school system. The Chicago Teacher Education Pipeline is sponsoring the event. The deadline to apply for the program is Feb. 7. Applications can be downloaded at TeacherPipeline.IllinoisState. Edu/Resources. Students can contact Dakota Pawlicki at dmpawli@ilstu.edu with questions or for more information.

THE ’BIRD
Quick ways to end your cash crisis Surprise expenses seem to sneak up on everyone. From a parking fine to those concert tickets you just can’t live without, here are some solutions that ISU students use to combat their financial worries. Donating plasma:

A creative way students are making money is by donating plasma. According to the American Red Cross website, plasma is one of the key blood components needed for modern medicine, and they are willing to compensate for donations. Dariyan Thillen, sophomore and graphic communication major, said she has donated plasma about seven times. Thillen said her experience was pleasant, fun, rewarding and virtually pain free for the 40-minute process. “I received $50 my first time donating, $60 the second time and $80 the third time. After that the standard rate was about $35 … they also would send me coupons in the mail with $10 bonuses,” she said.
Working crazy shifts Many students will work odd hours that others would generally opt out of just to make some dough. Tiffany Cook, senior and secondary mathematics education major, worked at a 24hour Steak N’ Shake during her college years. “I would work overnights all the time, especially when I first started,” Cook said. “I would start at either 9 or 10 p.m. and work until around 7 a.m. and then would have class that morning.” Cook said she thought working odd shifts for the extra money was worth it because she needed money to pay bills and rent.

Selling concert tickets
Looking for an easy way to make some extra cash? Buying and selling concert or sporting event tickets for profit is quick and convenient for fulltime students. Ron Dicker of The DailyFinance suggests researching event presales, buyer trends and additional fees (hint: Stubhub keeps 15 percent commission, $5 service charge plus possible shipping fees). Then research multiple resale sites including eBay, Craigslist, StubHub and RazorGator to compare going ticket rates. Dicker said Clark Howard, author of “Living Large in Lean Times,” advises checking out SeatGeek.com to compare ticket rates from different vendors simultaneously.

Working in telemarketing Students at ISU are also opting to work in a form of telemarketing at the ISU Fundraising Center. This job requires many phone calls ending abruptly and an abundance of rejection. Will McCambley, manager for Telefund, a company that works with ISU in helping to get donations from alumni, said he employs about 23 students starting at $8.25 per hour. Students do not make commission but they do have the opportunity for bonuses each month. “I think this is a great student job, but it can be quite hard,” McCambley said. “Students deal with a lot of rejection. There are occasional hang-ups but there is really never any yelling because we only call alumni.” Sam Flory / Photographer

Recycling Cans

Recycling aluminum cans is an easy way to pick up some extra cash at the end of the week. While you and your roommates are picking up after a party or movie night with friends, rinse out all of the leftover aluminum cans and place them in a clean separate bag. Behr Iron & Metal located in Bloomington will take your aluminum cans and give you 50 cents per pound. This may not sound like a lot, but think of the number of cans you and your roommates see over the weekend either when drinking soda or out at parties. Offer to help clean up the next day, remind your friends to save their cans for you and set up a recycling bin in your apartment to remind your roommates not to toss their can of Diet Coke after they have finished with it. According to Behr employee Pam Martinez, dropping off cans at the recycling center could not be easier. “All you have to do is drive to our location, and take the ramp on the north side of the building. You’ll see a sign and you can unload your cans inside,” she explained. Compiled by Kayla Stroner / Features Reporter
Delivering newspapers Other students may work extremely early shifts to make some cash. Alison Gratz, junior and dance performance major, delivers newspapers for the Vidette. “I think delivering newspapers is very easy money. It’s simple and repetitive and you learn [to get it done as fast as possible],” Gratz said. She explained the part-time job with early mornings pays for her groceries, and that she would work another job with odd hours if the opportunity presented itself.
Detasseling Never heard of it? Then you’re probably not from around here. This summer job is perfect for you if you’re an early riser who enjoys making money and isn’t afraid to battle the elements. The concept of detasseling is pretty simple. You just walk through the rows in a corn field and pull the male reproduction organ (the tassel) out of each corn stalk, so the plant can’t pollinate. The detasseling season only lasts a few short weeks, so you won’t be working your entire summer away. People ages 12 and up can participate and no past experience is required. The hours are reliable and workers are almost always paid above minimum wage. So if you don’t mind early mornings, corn rash and miserable heat, take a whack at it. Detasseling will teach you the true meaning of a hard-earned dollar.

ISU suffers loss despite fan showing
Richard Sherman: yawn and move on ZACK FULKERSON Sports Columnist

The ISU men’s basketball team fell to No. 5 Wichita in a 70-55 decision Ryann hoffenberg Sports Editor The shock value from last night’s men’s basketball game lay within the stands where 9,510 fans, dressed head-to-toe in red, packed in to see the Redbirds battle the Wichita State Shockers. Redbird Arena, with a capacity of 10,200, had not been this full since the 2010 contest against Bradley. After maintaining the lead throughout the first half, the Redbirds struggled from beyond the arc, finishing one-for-25, and eventually fell to WSU, 70-55. “We played really good the first half, competed as hard as we could, we came out the second half and did not play with the same intensity, and they did,” ISU Head Coach Dan Muller said. Leading the ISU scoring campaign were Daishon Knight with 12 points and Bobby Hunter with 10. Knight also topped the Redbird rebound count with, grabbing eight. The Redbirds got off to a quick start, with Paris Lee and Zach Lofton making layups off of Shocker turnovers. ISU’s beginning run was
interrupted by Shocker Fred Van Vleet, but the Redbirds maintained the lead with a jumper by Hunter. Wichita threatened the Redbird lead by evening the score at 8-8, but with a layup and a stint at the free-throw line, Tony Wills increased the gap by four. The two teams inched within points of each other with WSU’s Cleanthony Early and Ron Baker connecting on a three-pointer and a jumper, and Lofton making a layup. ISU led, 23-20 with 4:24 left in the half. The Shockers tied the game at 23-23 thanks to a three-pointer by Tekele Cotton and a layup by Darius Carter. Seconds later, a jumper by Lofton brought ISU back on top with 41 seconds left in the half. After an ISU time out, Reggie Lynch dropped a bounce pass to Hunter who scored a layup at the buzzer. The Redbirds headed into the locker room with the lead, 2825. Wichita State emerged in the second half with a 10-1 run to take the lead back for the rest of the game. Nick Thompson/Photographer

’Birds prep for Notre Dame Invitational tim carroll Reporter

Tyler Morse looks for success this weekend after coming off of a strong cross coutnry season.
Illinois State’s track and field team is preparing to travel to South Bend, Ind., Saturday to compete in the Notre Dame Invitational. The Redbirds are hoping to open a few eyes to some of the better teams by having a big performance against some of the better teams in the country. Seniors Curt Jensen and Akil Mills will look to show the rest of the throwing field that they belong among the nation’s best around. Coach Elvis Forde has high expectations for his two throwers. “For our throwing events we will have Akil Mills and Curt Jensen, and everyone has heard about Curt. Obviously, he has some big things he wants to do this year in the shot put and weight throw,” said Forde. “We expect those two to continue to do well.” Jensen won the shot put and Mills won the weight throw competition last Friday when the Redbirds took on Indiana State. The Redbirds will also look to hold their own in the running events, as many of the distance runners are coming off a strong cross country season in which they finished third
place in the Missouri Valley Conference. “Ryan Rutherford, coming off of the cross country season, is going to do some exciting things this year, along with Tyler Morse, Aidan Askin, Dave Eckhart and Sean Senf,” Forde said. On the women’s side, the distance team also features many cross country runners including Rachael Brewer, Kristen Zillmer, Haley Goers, Kelly McShea and Kaley Ummel all looking to not skip a beat heading into Saturday. Forde is counting on them for a big performance. “The girls have done great over the last couple of years,” Forde said. “That distance crew for the past few years has done really well for us.” The Redbirds also will rely on Jianna Williams in the throwing competitions, as she is coming off a second place finish in the weight throw and third place finish in the shot put last Friday. Shandel Ellis will look to impress as well after finishing first in the 200-meter dash at Indiana State. The Redbirds will not only be taking on Notre Dame, but Southern Illinois and more of the country’s best. It will truly be a challenge for them as they look to improve once again in their performance.
You’ve all seen the tape. After a “I saw that coming” play where Seahawks’ corner Richard Sherman slapped an errant pass into the hands of a teammate to seal Seattle’s spot in Super Bowl XLVIII, he delivered a postgame interview which sent the stuff into the proverbial fan for football fans from coast to coast. Every major news outlet in the country has aired the 17-second clip of Sherman shouting into the microphone while FOX’s Erin Andrews stands visibly baffled, shaken and speechless. After we get a few points out of the way, it’s time to yawn and move on. First of all, let’s not act like Sherman is the only NFL player who’s a bad sport. Showboating and clownery are common across the world of professional sports. Michael Crabtree — whom the batted pass was intended for — wasn’t exactly acting like a role model either. Go back and look for yourself. You’ll see Sherman tried to extend what appeared to be a good sport’s handshake to Crabtree, just before the 49ers receiver shoved Sherman by his facemask. Neither one of these guys acted with much class. And we all know that tensions are high — especially in division rivalries and when those games are conference championships. No doubt that Crabtree and Sherman were jabbering back and forth at each other all night long. Who knows what kinds of things they said to each other when no microphones were on. Maybe all of it was in good fun. Maybe they really hate each other. Who knows? But it certainly isn’t the first time (and it won’t be the last, either) that two players from rival teams — playing in a heated competition — will say nasty things about each other. This isn’t to excuse the behavior; it’s just to accept reality. Why is that a reality? Well, frankly, because football is actually a game where two teams of athletic men put on mountains of protective gear and then beat the living hell out of each other. They literally smash each other into the ground to distinguish the part of the game where one play ends and the next begins. Usually, at least once a game, somebody gets walloped so bad they have to be dragged off the field. And we’re all getting excited over some guy shouting about it after the fact? Give me a break. The Twitterati was quick to call Sherman every name in the book within seconds of the interview. Classless. Punk. Jerk. Thug. Those are amongst the pejoratives that can be published in this paper. But anyone who calls him these names just isn’t thinking the situation through. Imagine you just made the winning-play of a game which will take your team to one of the most watched sporting events in the world, and tell me again how much class you would’ve handled it with. What’d you want the guy to say? “Yeah, we just went out there and gave it 110 percent.” Wake me up when that interview is over. Continue reading online
