WGLT manager to retire EMA SASIC Senior Reporter
After 25 years as general manager at Illinois State University’s public radio station, WGLT, Bruce Bergethon will retire on Dec. 31. R.C. McBride will be Bruce the interim general Bergethon manager for one year starting Jan. 1, 2016. Serving as general manager since 1990, Bergethon said he knew this was the right year to retire because of similarities between himself and the previous manager and due to the station’s upcoming 50th anniversary in 2016. “I’ve been GLT’s manager for 25 years, and the previous manager, Ben Paxton, served the same number of years, so the symmetry appealed to me,” Bergethon said. “More importantly, I thought it was a good time for the station to have new, fresh leadership as it transitions into the second half century.” During the past 25 years of Bergethon’s tenure, GLT underwent many changes, including a power increase in 1992, format changes in 1992 and 2013, the launching of the station website in 2000 and an increase in annual private support from $50,000 to $750,000. He initiated many community events like Radio Faces, the Recycled Music Sale, the transportation sustainability initiative ‘Good to Go’ and the GLT Summer Concert. Additionally, WGLT has won 145 awards, including two national Edward R. Murrow Awards in 2015 and the Kaleidoscope Award for reporting on diversity issues. Despite all of the awards and recognition, Bergethon has other reasons to feel proud of his tenure. “I always say my greatest accomplishment is hiring the best staff at any public radio station in the country,” Bergethon said. Once he retires, Bergethon plans to stay in town with his wife and travel to Europe as well as other parts of the United States. As a fiddle and mandolin player, music will continue to be a big part of his life as he intends to play some more music around town. Bergethon will also continue to host Acousticity, the folk music radio show, 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Sundays. He has hosted the show since 1992. see GLT page 6

VIDETTE EDITORIAL
There’s water on Mars, so what? Discoveries of possible life on the planet are not as recent as most think
S
ince we landed on the moon, it seems like the National Aeronautics and Space Administration has been relentlessly searching for extraterrestrial life in space. Monday, the news that liquid water was found on Mars was announced. This evidence has produced exponential hope for astronauts to complete more exploratory missions on the planet. Scientists, engineers and astronauts are ecstatic about what seems to be new information, but they do not know where the water is coming from. According to a paper published in the journal “Nature Geoscience,” the NASA Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter actually
retrieved samples of streaks in the deep slopes of the surface. “The streaks proved to be formed by water due to the hydrated salt minerals that contain water molecules,” the journal said. The findings “provide the strongest evidence yet that liquid water flows intermittently on present-day Mars.” Some scientists believe that the water source might be beneath the surface of Mars because its surface is so harsh. If the water is beneath the surface, this will create new opportunities and experiments to see if plants will grow, essentially leading to the construction of greenhouses. NASA has plans for exploration on Mars in 2016 and 2020, and
has set the first astronaut mission for 203o. This is not the first time water has been discovered on Mars, nor is this the first clue that life might be on Mars. So why is this such a big deal? The hydrated particles are only noticeable during certain seasons with warmer climate. During the most frigid seasons, water cannot be detected. This finding gives off the assumption that during the warmest times of the year, the ice caps on Mars melt to produce these H20-like atoms. Although it might be a promising discovery, it is too premature for this story to be making major headlines, especially because it is so speculative. Readers have be-
gun to assume that come a crisis on Earth, we can start new life on Mars. However, the discovery is not completely new, and with the media making such a big deal about it, the story can come across as misleading. Seeing as the first planned astronaut mission to Mars is not for another 15 years, there is still a lot of waiting around to do before any conculsion can be made. This discovery, which has been known for years, does not really improve the odds of life on the inhabitable planet. Mass media reports needs to be patient on these types of topics and should wait for more substantial information or concrete facts to be released.

s the first semester of school gets more hectic and classes begin to pick up speed, students find it more difficult to visit their family back at home. However, this weekend, families of Illinois State University students have been invited to campus to spend time together for Family Weekend. Family Weekend has been a tradition at ISU for over 10 years. It is a great time for all family members to connect with their loved ones and enjoy each other’s company. Stress is inevitable at this time of the year, but being around those you love can help relieve it. One of the main events for families is tailgating before Saturday’s Redbird football game against Northern Iowa. ISU hosts several other events throughout the weekend to ensure students and their relatives get the full college expereince. For a full list of events, visit www.FamilyWeekend.IllinoisState.edu. Although this weekend is mainly about showing your family a good time, there is an opportunity for families to get an inside look at their child’s academic life at ISU as well. Ten of the university departments will be open on Saturday for open houses, including the College of Education, College of Business, School of Communication and Mennonite College of Nursing. Aside from all the campus events, students should take advantage of having their families around to show them the hidden gems of Bloomington-Normal. There are several restaurants and shops that any family can enjoy. Now is the time to check out that fancy italian restaurant you’ve been dying to try but can’t fit into your college budget. Before your family comes, make a list of things you may need. Especially if you don’t have a car on campus, ask them to take you to the grocery store or mall to stock up for the next few weeks. Family weekend only happens once a year, so make sure you get through that checklist of activities and places to visit before the weekend ends. Although most ISU students are from Illinois, going for a long time without seeing your family can be hard. Family Weekend is great opportunity to catch up and show them what your home away from home is like. Kamara Turner is a sophomore mass media major and a columnist for The Vidette.

Former VP of Egypt speaks at ISU BRENT BADER News Reporter
Former vice president of Egypt and Nobel Peace Prize-winner Mohamed ElBaradei spoke to Illinois State University students and local community members about nuclear disarmament Wednesday evening at the 50th anniversary of the Adlai E. Stevenson Memorial Lecture. As a former vice president of Egypt and a former director general of the International Atomic Energy Agency, ElBaradei shared his feelings about the need for a global initiative with the audience during the Fall Speaker Series event. “War, tyranny, and poverty, like many other human conditions, are of our creation. They depend on the environment we construct and the mindset we cultivate. We need to break this vicious circle and we need a global initiative based on trust, dialogue and mutual respect, not on humiliation and diktat,” ElBaradei said. ElBaradei spoke to the audience about the importance of respecting others in this quest despite the histories the two powers may share. “We have to have respect for human dignity, adjust our mindset

Kim Jong-un. “I would say there is no one size fits all,” ElBaradei answered. “You clearly have to try every possible way to put pressure on these people but you have to keep talking to them. If you try forcing change for the outside in a country that has been under complete pressure for 60 to 70 years, it won’t work. You cannot move into democracy overnight, democracy is not instant coffee.” ElBaradei left the audience with a final plea to the world stage that it should work together as the problems that they face have no borders.

With the many memories made the past 25 years, the faces of WGLT will be something he will miss the most. “I will miss seeing all the good GLT folks every day, but I expect to remain friends with most of them,” he said. “Oddly enough, I’ll probably miss the constant fundraising that we need to do in public radio, but I’m not going to miss getting up at 4 a.m. during fund drives.” Interim R.C. McBride already has plans to improve the station. “WGLT is coming up on its 50th anniversary, and my job will be to steward the station as best I can to ensure it’s around for another 50,” McBride said. “That will involve continuing the production of great unique and compelling content, but we’ll need to work hard to leverage digital platforms to make that content more readily available to our current audience and make potential new listeners and readers aware of what we’re doing.” McBride said Bergethon leaves behind a great legacy at the station. “Try having coffee with Bruce and you’ll notice that everyone in town seems to not only know him, but also to like and respect him,” he said. “He’s a tremendous broadcaster and a better person. He and his team at GLT have created something wonderful.”

NuGrad helping seniors find dream jobs GIANNA ANNUNZIO Features Reporter
Imagine finding the job of your dreams. This may be a bit overwhelming, but working alongside a team of supporters who aim to help can ease the career-hunting struggle. This is where NuGrad, an Illinois State University studentfounded business, enters the scene. With fulfilling student career needs as its number one priority, NuGrad searches for and connects top college talent to jobs fitting with student interest and personality. Although the regular job search routine usually involves settling for an unsatisfying entry-level job, NuGrad acts as a personal agent for students. Jack Sutherland, an entrepreneurship major, is one of NuGrad’s three founders within ISU’s college of business. He explained that the idea for the business began out of the student’s typical problems with job searching. “There’s all this stress involved, no one really has your back, and chances are you’re not really talking about it or thinking about it enough,” Sutherland said. “We know students are worth a very good position at a company, they deserve a chance at a position they want, and they shouldn’t just take a job because it’s a guaranteed salary. They should take a job they love, and that fits their personality the most.” NuGrad’s goal is to connect the top students at several schools, by first understanding more about their personality. “We don’t really care about GPA and the résumé. What we care about is their passion, if they’re hardworking, and if they

actually are a great student.” Sutherland said. “We take that information and then put them in front of as many recruiters as possible.” For students, applying to NuGrad is free and comes down to simply discussing job opportunities with other students like themselves. “We ask questions that would normally be kind of uncomfortable, like sort of ‘tell me about yourself’ which is the hardest question to answer,” Sutherland said. “But we do that because we’re able to see what these students are saying and understand if they really are great. If a student is willing to “open up” within their application, this quality becomes a huge selling point for Sutherland. “[It helps in] Showcasing these students to recruiters or showcasing their profiles online we create for them,” Sutherland said. Once a student’s application is accepted, the NuGrad trio begins the process of introducing them to people in their industry. “We introduce them to people we think could help them find a good suitable job, or people who can provide advice around ‘is this career really for me?’” Since NuGrad’s pilot launch two weeks ago, the business has warranted almost instant success. After beginning with ISU students to test and validate the business and its revenue models, the founders began running into unexpected positive feedback. “We’re at 6 schools right now and we don’t know how that happened, so we’re sort of organically growing out because it’s
a common problem,” Sutherland said. “Organically somehow we’ve grown to Texas and Ohio; that’s why we’re super excited about it and want to get the word out as soon as we can, because it’s very fulfilling the things we’re doing with the students,” Brett Gilbert, an entrepreneurship and HR double major who works alongside Sutherland as a founder of NuGrad, said. He attributes some of the business’s expanding success to social media. “Once we initially launched it, we’d just kind of go to our friends at different schools and on Facebook and send them a message about the business,” Gilbert said. “I think it was just a lot of support that way either just inviting people and it just starts to spread.” Since the launch, NuGrad has over 30 students at ISU, and plans on showcasing their profiles at the next career fair. “We’re going to be reaching out to these companies at the fair before they come down and say, ‘Hey we have this list of who’s really good at ISU, take a look at these people, and let us know if you want to be introduced’ and we’ll make the introduction.” Overall, Sutherland believes students deserve to have confidence in their job search regardless of their major or personality. “You may be shy, you may be incredibly extroverted. But we know that students deserve to have confidence and that they are great, and there is a job and company out there that fits your personality and wants you to come work for them,” Gilbert said. “It’s just a matter of finding them. That’s why we’re here, and that’s why we want to help.”
FLAME empowers feminist activists
LACEY MESCH Features Reporter
A movement is clearly underway at Illinois State University’s through a club known as FLAME: the Feminist Lead Activist Movement to Empower. Their mission is to put a stop to sexual violence and inform the general public on the harsh realities of the damage it causes in many individuals’ lives. According to their Facebook page, they want to give students the opportunity to reexamine all aspects of their lives and consider how they have been socially constructed along lines of gender, race, class, ability, age, heteronormativity and ethnicity. The club is open to all individuals fighting for equal rights among every gender line. Delaney Auth, president of FLAME, mentioned its general assembly meetings that take place the first Thursday of every month. “Our general assembly meetings are important because we like to hear from our members about their opinions on current feminist issues,” Auth said. Along with these meetings, FLAME has some events planned for this year. At 6 p.m.

Oct. 26 at the Bone Student Center, FLAME will hold a march for victims of assualt. Survivors and speakers will share their
stories and experiences before heading outside to stand up for a safe campus. The march concludes with a candlelit vigil and
safe spaces for discussion. This organization also annually celebrates a day in February known as “V-Day” which is a movement that works to encourage feminism and equality all around the globe by following different people from different places and getting to know their stories. V-Day is a part of “The Vagina Monologues,” a production of Eve Ensler’s script to raise awareness of domestic violence and abuse which correlates with the global VDay movement. This movement has been successful due to the tragic experiences women globally have come forward about. FLAME is working to spread the awareness of the movement and promote equality among women in the area and on campus. “As far as progress, we hope to gain new members and grow our numbers,” Auth said. “We would also like to improve our social media presence and explore new fundraising and community involvement opportunities.” Be sure to keep up with the organization and watch out for their upcoming feminist blog, “Hissy Fit.”

Speaker sheds light on Ebola outbreak Time Magazine’s 2014 Person of the Year, Ella Stryker, spoke about the Ebola outbreak in African countries on Wednesday at the Bone Student Center. “The human eye cannot see the Ebola virus itself, but the human eye can see the yellow plastic suits, the chorine being sprayed inside houses and the ambulances leaving with their loved ones but then never coming back,” Stryker said. Stryker spent 18 months with Doctors Without Borders in Guinea, where she tried to tackle and prevent the spread of the Ebola virus. She was the representative for thousands of people who fought the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. In her speech, Stryker touched on what she saw while in Africa as well as the challenges she faced while trying to prevent Ebola from spreading. Ebola is a contagious disease, but Stryker says with the use and knowledge of good sanitation techniquesit can be easily prevented. She said the virus can only be spread by the bodily fluids, including blood and urine, of an infected person and get inside a person’s mucus membranes.

Jessi Dwyer/ Staff Photographer Time Magazine’s 2014 Person of the Year Ella Stryker came to ISU to speak Wednesday.
Mucus membranes include the eyes, the mouth and the nose. The Ebola virus can be removed with soap and even high heat. “To stop an outbreak is simpler, well it should be,” Stryker said. The response to the Ebola virus in Africa was “denial,” Stryker said. The virus was not handled in the typical way most outbreaks are handled and therefore got out of control. In America, convincing a person to get a vaccination is easy because a person has easy access to proof and scientific information that proves it is necessary. However, in Africa, the only way to help people is to gain their trust. “Trust is built in Africa based on hand shakes and endless cups of tea,” Stryker said. But in order to work safely in Africa, it means to not
touch anything. “How are you supposed to build trust if someone comes into your house with rubber boots and refuses to shake your hand and refuses to drink your tea,” Stryker said. Stryker said it is hard to tell people to not take care of their loved ones while they are sick, but that is the way the virus spreads. The hands-on experience Stryker gained while in Africa is what convinced the Department of Health Sciences to ask Stryker to speak at ISU and to receive the Ann E. Nolte Scholar Award presented through the department. Department Chair of Health Sciences Jeff Clark said, “we want to show students an example of what cutting-edge research and experience can do.”

Family weekend at the ’Birds nest ISU athletes discuss the importance of family and how they prepare for the special weekend “Family means support and love. They’re people that are always there for you. If they can’t be, it could be my family at home or my soccer family. My family is coming down. My sister plays D3 soccer and she’s playing against Wesleyan this Saturday, so we’re all going to the football game then going to her game.”
Ali Farkos Women’s Soccer
“90 percent of our team is international so it’s hard to get our family to our matches. My family is back home at Czech Republic. I really miss and love my family. It’s hard on international athletes but we make a family bond.”
Jana Kustkova Women’s Tennis
“We know there’s going to be a big crowd and it will be an electrifying atmosphere. It does a lot, you always want to play hard and put on a show in front of your family and the fans. Family is why I am here today, I’m very grateful for them.”
“We have a big meet at Notre Dame on Friday, and we are all going to the football game on Saturday as a team. I have my blood related family and team family. They’re people you spend a lot of time and have a tight bond with.”
Teddy Corwin Football
Tyler Morse Men’s Cross-Country
“My parents are coming down, the first game they’ve been to this season, It’s kind of a family atmosphere everywhere on our campus. It’s definitely a family atmosphere in our football program, too, we like to think of ourselves as a football family. And of course, there’s always dysfunction in families, so the dad of the family (me), has to kind of kick them in the behind sometimes. I love family day, it’s very unique to our school. I’ve been able to do what I do because of the support of my family. We live a football life, and my family lets me do that.”
“My family is coming down for our big game Friday morning. After the game, we’re probably going to go to the pumpkin patch and spend the whole day together. My family will always be there for me and stand by me no matter what I go through.”
Abby Van Deventer Women’s Soccer
Brock Spack Football head coach
“Family is number one. Without them, I don’t think I could do what I do. We go through so many obstacles and my parents are my rock and support when I need them.”
Sarah Paulson Women’s Tennis
“Family is everything to me. My ISU family here and family back at home. They’re my rock and what gets me through my day.”
“I don’t know where I would be without my family. My family is the greatest support system. I am strong because of them.”
Danci Cha Gymnastics
Taylor Clayton Swimming and Diving
“Family is a very important part of my life even though they are not close. It’s nice to call the guys my second family here at ISU.”

Game Preview
In one of the marquee FCS matchups this weekend, No. 4 Illinois State squares off against No. 6 Northern Iowa in front of a sold-out crowd, Saturday at Hancock Stadium ZACK CARPENTER Sports Editor
NUTS AND BOLTS
PLAYERS TO WATCH
SPACK’S COMMENTS
No. 4 Illinois State (2-1) will have the benefit of a second straight electrifying, sold-out crowd when the Panthers come to town Saturday for the Missouri Valley Football Conference opener for both squads. After UNI gave the Redbirds their lone regular season loss in 2014 during Week 8 at the hostile UNI Dome, ISU got revenge with a 41-21 win in a second round playoff win at Hancock Stadium.
Marshaun Coprich could be in this spot every single week. But after being the workhorse for the ’Birds in the second half of their win against Eastern Illinois two weeks ago, the All-American running back will once again be given the ball early and often out of the pistol and shotgun formations off draw plays and read options—the main staple of this Redbird offense.
“They’re a very good team— they always are so you can count on that. Offensively, they’re a little bit different than they were in the past—they’re up-tempo, no huddle. They’re very well disciplined and well-coached—we’ll have to play very well, protect the football and play a very clean football game to have a chance to win.”
Aaron Bailey, a transfer from the University of Illinois, is a flashy playmaker from the quarterback position. He is mainly a run-first threat, and he best utilizes his skillset by getting out of the pocket on run-pass options. If the ’Birds shut him down, it will be a long night for the Panthers, who use Bailey as their No. 1 offensive weapon.
TV: Game will be broadcast live on ESPN3 at noon as part of The Valley on ESPN.
THREE KEYS TO WIN SWITCH IT UP In the win against Eastern Illinois, offensive coordinator Kurt Beathard decided to churn the ball with Marshaun Coprich play after play. It was a game the AllAmerican was able to dominate, but it left the ’Birds inherently predictable. When they did pass, there was no one who could cover Anthony Warrum. They will need to establish their physical identity with the run, but they will need a more balanced attack on Saturday against a team far superior to EIU. HANDLE THE PRESSURE Linebackers Brett McMakin and Jared Farley are two studs for the Panthers’ pass rush. ISU’s offensive line will have its hands full guarding the two. McMakin has recorded a team-high 31 tackles, including a sack and 3.5 tacklesfor-loss, while Farley has added 28 tackles. STAY KEYED IN With the up-temp attack the Panthers will throw at the ’Birds, it will be crucial for them to stay focused on the constantly changing packages and matchups that UNI will be using. ISU will need to have their keys on defense completely locked in.
THREE KEYS TO WIN
No. 6 Northern Iowa (2-1) will be coming in fired up. Coming off wins over No. 7 Eastern Washington and No. 17 Cal Poly, the Panthers will be running into yet another elite team in the Redbirds. ISU and UNI’s lone losses this year came against FBS foes in Iowa and Iowa State, respectively.

PREDICTION NORTHERN IOWA 35 ILLINOIS STATE 31 All good things must come to an end, right? The Redbirds are working with a 14-game home winning streak at Hancock Stadium, but Saturday will be the day it ends. A sold-out crowd will once again back ISU, but the Panthers
are used to playing in front of loud, raucous environments and will not be intimidated. With AllAmerican defensive end Teddy Corwin expected to miss the game with a foot injury, Aaron Bailey will scorch the ’Birds with his legs and make key dump off throws to
his backs and receivers, who will utilize their speed in space. It will be an exciting, fast-paced game that will come down to the wire. But Tre Roberson and Marshaun Coprich’s playmaking skills will not be enough to shut down the Panthers.
DUAL THREAT UNI uses a two-quarterback system with Ilinois transfer Aaron Bailey as the No. 1 threat, who is known for using his legs as his primary weapon. He is the Panthers’ leading rusher through three games and will take off early and often instead of hanging around in the pocket. He will need to improvise by rolling out and scrambling for extra yards outside the tackles. He is no slouch as a passer either, but Sawyer Kollmorgen has a bit of a stronger arm as their No. 2 QB. KEEP UP THE TEMPO The Panthers are known for trying to use a lightning-quick, no-huddle attack on offense. They will need to try and confuse the ISU defense with fast plays and get them scrambling to figure out the right matchups, which could lead to break away plays. SCREEN GAME UNI utilizes the screen game very efficiently, dumping it off to either Tyvis Smith at running back or Daurice Fountain on wide receiver quick screens in space. Establish this attack, and the Redbirds will be in for a long day.
