Fight the statistics this October Olivia Gilbertsen Reporter Breast cancer is a disease that will develop in about 1 in 4 U.S. women over a lifetime, making raising awareness about the disease and the protection methods available an important aspect of fighting the statistics, according to breastcancer.org. “Breast cancer is a malignancy that can spread to affect other organs of the body,” Jean Swearingen, medical director at Student Health Services, said. Due to the large number of cases of breast cancer in the U.S., individuals can take preventative measures to avoid undetected breast cancer, or breast cancer in general. “A self [at home] breast exam can be done by anyone,” Swearingen said. “Instructions on how to do this can be obtained through Student Health Services, either by handout or students can be taught by a provider.” However, Swearingen said there is controversy over the effectiveness of self breast exams. “Risk of breast cancer increases as women age, so regular self exams may become more useful over the age of 40,” she said.
Swearingen added that general breast awareness is recommended by some medical societies, which may include self exams starting around age 20. “A woman who notes a lump in her breast after a self exam should have it examined closer by their medical provider,” Swearingen said. She noted that most often, a lump is not cancer, but should be checked out by professionals to be sure. It is also important to be aware that some women are at higher risk for breast cancer than others. “Some women may have an increased genetic risk of breast cancer. Other risk factors beyond genetics include hormonal factors, obesity and excessive alcohol intake,” Swearingen said. Although breast cancer is typically thought of as a disease affecting females, males may also be diagnosed with breast cancer, though it is very rare, she said. There are about 2,240 new cases of invasive breast cancer expected to be diagnosed in men in 2013. A man’s lifetime risk of breast cancer is about 1 in 1,000, according to see cancer page 8

Florida Georgia Line to continue first headline tour in Champaign holly petrovich News Editor
Florida Georgia Line will be continuing its first headlining tour, “Here’s to the Good Times,” at the State Farm Center in Champaign. The concert will be at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, with opening acts from country artists Colt Ford and Dallas Smith. Jennifer Larson, assistant athletic director for sales and marketing at the University of Illinois, said they were lucky enough to have a great relationship with the band’s touring manager, which allowed U of I to host the show. “It’s a great market for country music and a perfect fit because here we are in the heart of the country,” Larson said. Ticket prices range from $16.75 to $36.75, but there are only a few tickets left. “One of the benefits of this concert is it’s very economical,” she said. “It did well for us because the show came close to selling out.” This allowed the State Farm Center to keep the prices low, making it affordable for students in the area. From a marketing standpoint, Larson explained that little advertising was needed to promote the show due
to the popularity of the band. Radio stations 90 miles out featured advertisements for the show, but only ran for about a week and a half due to soaring ticket sales. “They are a very popular band. … They have one hit everyone knows, whether they’re a country fan or not,” she said. Florida Georgia Line was founded in 2009 by Brian Kelley and Tyler Hubbard. The band’s first hit, “Cruise,” hit the Top 10 charts after just 14 weeks of being released, and has sold over one million singles since then. The album, “Here’s to the Good Times,” includes 11 songs, with at least four hit singles. “They are doing well and are going to get bigger,” Larson said. Taylor Kampert, sophomore at the University of Illinois, is very excited to attend the concert this weekend. “I’ve seen Florida Georgia Line as an opener and they were great, so I’m really excited to see what they can do now that they’re headlining their own tour,” Kampert said. Larson is expecting a great turnout at the Arena for the show. “We are very excited to host it; it’s our first sell-out of the season, so there will be nine to 10,000 people in the arena,” she said.

Donations aid the battle against breast cancer tyrianna jones Staff Writer There are thousands of breast cancer organizations nationwide asking for donations to help the cause, but where exactly do all those proceeds go? The National Breast Cancer Foundation (NBCF) puts their money toward helping affected women and giving them educational resources. “Eighty-six percent of our proceeds go towards programs, patient services, mammograms and research,” Diana Trieu, Data Coordinator for NBCF, said. “The other 14 percent goes towards fundraising and management.” Trieu explained that the 86 percent includes breast cancer education programs and other awareness materials such as the “Early Detection Plan” and “Beyond the Shock.” The foundation constantly works with hospitals they have partnerships with in order to assist women in getting mammograms. They also encourage perspective donors to contribute $100 so women can get their mammograms for free. Susan G. Komen for the Cure is another well-known organization that partners with Zumba for the “Party in Pink” charity event.

administered by Komen and be led by a team of distinguished scientists. The study will look at the effects of a compound in flaxseed called lignin on pre-menopausal women in order to find a safe and low costing solution to breast cancer prevention. The Young Survival Coalition is another organization that aims to help
young women who are affected by breast cancer. The coalition does a variety of programs and provides free resource kits that give women a rundown of their diagnosis whether they are newly diagnosed or survivors. Erin Hawkins, manager at the New York office, said a lot of the coalition’s proceeds go towards an
annual conference. The conference gives 500-600 women the opportunity to attend free workshops and seminars. There are also classes, training and support groups provided. To donate to any of the listed organizations, visit their websites: nationalbreastcancer.org, komen.org, youngsurvival.org.

Flush health insurance plans down the toilet
One of the most critically acclaimed television shows of all time just ended. Breaking Bad’s series finale has left TV fans wondering if another television show of its caliber will ever be produced again. What made this television show Emmy-worthy was its ability to question humanity’s moral compass and critique America’s flawed health care system.

F
or those who have not seen the show, Breaking Bad follows Walter White, a middle-aged man who is diagnosed with cancer. Due to his current financial situation and his astronomical medical bills, White enters the world of drug production to fund his cancer treatment and ensure his family’s financial future. The show perfectly exemplifies what Americans have to tolerate when they fall chronically ill. It is not out of the realm of possibility for an American facing a wall of medical debt to find themselves in a situation similar to Walter White’s. Desperate times call for desperate measures, as they say. This Editorial Board believes the entire health care system is flawed, and needs some revamping. According to an article published by CNN.com in 2009, a study was conducted which concluded that more than 60 percent of American bankruptcies are caused by overwhelmingly high medical bills. It gets worse: three-fourths of the 60 percent had health
these people in unimaginable debt. When people with private insurance get severely ill, they cannot continue to work, therefore losing the insurance that
was provided through their employer. The lead author of the study — MD Steffie Woolhandler of Harvard Medical School — is highly critical of the American health care system. She said, “You’re one illness away from financial ruin in this country.” It seems the best way to avoid devastating medical bills is to live in a bubble. Even routine outpatient medical procedures can cost thousands, so it’s nearly impossible to avoid debt. An Article on CBSnews.com from Sept. 6, 2012 is perfect evidence of routine medical procedures costing Americans thousands of dollars they don’t have, even if they do have insurance. The article details an Arizona woman who was stung by a scorpion. She arrived at the hospital after being stung, and was administered two shots of anti-venom. The bill for her treatment totaled $83,000, at more than $40,000 per dose. She had insurance, but it only covered $57,000 of the total bill. That left her with an out-of-pocket expense of $26,000. Not many Americans can pay these high fees. Life is already expensive enough as it is, and medical expenses can easily ruin lives in a blink of an eye. Not to mention, insurance is supposed to serve as a security blanket for the ill, but evidence has shown that in some cases it serves little purpose at all. Suffering such consequences for being ill is completely unfair. Insurance does not work either, so it is time to hypothetically flush the whole system down the toilet and start over. Right now, chronically ill Americans have two options: obtain thousands of dollars of debt or die. There is something seriously wrong with that.

So far in 2013, 232,340 new cases of breast cancer were diagnosed in the U.S. **
Breast cancer is the second leading cause of death in women after lung cancer; each year approximately 220,000 females in the United States are diagnosed, and more than 40,000 die. * Women are diagnosed with breast cancer more often than any other kind of cancer. *
It is possible for men to get breast cancer – about 2,150 males get breast cancer each year, killing approximately 410. * It is more likely for non-Hispanic white women to obtain breast cancer, followed by African American women and then Asian/Pacific Islander women. **

CAC raises money and awareness
the top five Ways to ‘think pink’ in October for breast cancer awareness
1 Accessorize with pink

Members of the ISU RSO Colleges Against Cancer (CAC) sell shirts on the Quad to raise money to support cancer research.
Kelley Bowles Reporter With October being breast cancer awareness month, The Vidette wanted to acknowledge an RSO on campus that works hard to raise cancer awareness on campus. Colleges Against Cancer (CAC) is an RSO and nonprofit organization at ISU that works with the American Cancer Society. Its goals are to promote the missions of the American Cancer Society and get our generation involved in cancer awareness. CAC does several events throughout the year to help raise proceeds toward cancer research. This month they will be have activities to promote breast cancer awareness. They also have the “Great American Smoke Out” in November, and Skin Cancer Awareness week around Spring Break. The biggest event CAC has is “Relay for Life,” which takes place April 25th and 26th this year. “Relay for Life” takes place on the Quad and is an event held by the American Cancer Society that, each year, raises an enormous
amount in funds toward cancer research. The relay started in 1985 after Dr. Gordy Klatt walked and ran for 24 hours around a track in Tacoma, Wash., raising around $27,000 for the American Cancer Society. The following year 340 supporters joined the overnight event and it has been building into what is now a nationwide event. Today, more than four million people in more than 20 countries participate in “Relay for Life.” Colleges Against Cancer currently has 500-plus chapters, and anyone can join. At ISU, the group meets in the Bone Student Center every Tuesday and is always looking for new members. “Everyone is so willing to help because we have all been affected by cancer, whether it’s a family member, a close friend or even themselves. We all know the impact cancer can make in our lives, and we want to find a cure,” Katie Elsen, junior music business major and co-chair of CAC, said. CAC is often reaching out to local businesses to partner with for fundraisers. This year they have
worked with Cherry Berry and DP Dough, and Tuesday they teamed up with the Music Business Organization to host an open mic night at Coffeehouse. If you missed these events, there
“Everyone is so willing to help because we have all been affected by cancer, whether it’s a family member, a close friend or even themselves.” Katie Elsen Junior music business major and co-chair of CAC
are several more to attend coming up. Since this is breast cancer awareness month, CAC will be at Milner Plaza on Wednesday and Thursday with a table to promote breast cancer awareness. The group will have T-shirts, other giveaways and information about more upcoming events. They will also be at volleyball and soccer games to promote the teams’ “Pink Games” and at the end of October, CAC will
be having a fundraiser with Meatheads to raise money for “Relay for Life.” Being a part of CAC has several benefits including leadership, service and can be a good résumé item. It is also a great way to get involved with the campus. By signing up for “Relay for Life” students can form teams and come together to help fight for a cure. CAC fundrasies for all types of cancers, and hosts activities big and small to work toward a greater understanding of them. There is still plenty of time to become a part of “Relay for Life” and students can help raise money for several different organizations that American Cancer Society supports. If you would like more information on the RSO itself, or becoming part of “Relay for Life,” you can email them at isurelay4life@yahoo.com “If finding a cure isn’t enough, then do it because you love to help people. The money doesn’t just go towards research, but it goes towards wigs, Hope Lodge, Road to Recovery, Look Good … Feel Better and Reach to Recovery,” Elsen said.
ZTA to host breast cancer awareness 5K Kelley Bowles Reporter
Sunday, Zeta Tau Alpha (ZTA) sorority will be having their annual 5K marathon for breast cancer awareness. ZTA is a social sorority on campus and has a run/walk every year as their philanthropy event. ZTA focuses on breast cancer education and awareness, and each year they are able to raise a significant amount of money for the cause. “Seeing that we are all women it is important to spread awareness. It is very rewarding to see how much money we raise for this cause.” Katie Cunningham, a Zeta Tau Alpha member and coordinator for the event, said. ZTA partners with the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation. Susan G. Komen was started in 1982 by Nancy G. Brinker when she promised her dying sister Susan G. Komen that she would do
everything she could to bring an end to breast cancer. Since this foundation started, it has raised more than $2 billion in proceeds that have gone toward breast cancer research and have had a hand in several major advancements in treatment. Although this is a philanthropy event for ZTA, you do not have to be in Greek life to participate. “A lot of Greek life participates but we want to make it a community event,” Cunningham said. Before the walk/run itself, there will also be a guest speaker, who is a breast cancer survivor, as well as a balloon ceremony. The ceremony lets attendees honor someone they know affected by breast cancer by releasing a balloon into the sky. ZTA has been doing several other things as part of their “pink week” — an entire week devoted to their philanthropy and breast cancer awareness. “The main reason I am participating in the event is because my
aunt was diagnosed with breast cancer, and our philanthropy is the main reason I joined Zeta,” Jennifer Pawelski, member of Zeta Tau Alpha, said. In order to help raise awareness, ZTA has been handing out pink ribbons to students on the Quad. The sorority also recently had a fundraiser at Meatheads where 10 percent of each purchase went toward breast cancer education. Those who signed up early for the race could also receive a free T-shirt with registration. If you have not registered for the event yet, you still can. Registration is open until Saturday. The cost is $25 for non-students and $20 for students. If you do not want to do the entire 5K you can register to walk one mile for $15. The event will be taking place at 8 a.m. on Sunday at Tipton Park in Bloomington. Young America Realty will be providing prizes for the winners of the race. First place winners
receive $250 cash, second place winners receive a sports watch and third place winners get a $50 Dick’s Sporting Goods gift card. Since October is breast cancer awareness month, be sure to check out this great event that goes toward an amazing cause. It is a great way to get involved with the students and community, while helping researchers get one step closer to a cure. PREVIEW
DETAILS WHAT Zeta Tau Alpha 5K run/ walk WHEN Sunday at 8 a.m. WHERE Tipton Park in Bloomington COST $20 for students, $25 for non-students, $15 for one mile walk
The quickest way to gain attention and to make others think about breast cancer is to wear a shirt or accessory. On Tuesday, ZTA gave out “think pink” ribbons on the Quad. Besides T-shirts or ribbons, many stores sell products whose proceeds go toward breast cancer research.
2 Support Local Fundraisers
ISU’s local Barnes & Noble will be “picturing a cure” each week on its Facebook page. For each like, comment and share the store will donate $1 to Young Survival Coalition. Colleges Against Cancer’s ISU chapter will also be raising money in a fundraiser at Meatheads on October 29. Even a simple choice of where to eat could be a small step that makes a big difference. To make a bigger, more personal commitment, consider registering for ISU’s “Relay for Life,” which will be held April 25, 2014.
3 Attend a Sporting Event
Support ISU’s Volleyball team on Saturday for its annual “Paint the Arena Pink” game. Admission will be $1, as will refreshments such as pink lemonade and hot dogs. The soccer team will be holding its pink game, “Kick for a Cure,” on Sunday when they play against Loyola. Admission is free. Show your support for both the Redbirds and for breast cancer research and show up for one of the games.
4 Throw a Party or Game Night
A growing trend among women is Bunco parties for breast cancer. These parties typically include a group of women playing a simple but competitive game called Bunco, paying into a pot in order to play, and receiving prizes at the end of the party. Start making this game a trend among your college friends and donate the money to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation.
5 Raise Awareness
Encourage your girlfriends to practice preventive measures to combat the harsh reality of breast cancer statistics. Spread the word on how to fight back against this disease that affects millions each year.

’Birds to face Penguins in MVFC play Saturday Dan Fox Sports Editor
Play is starting to heat up in the MVFC and Illinois State (2-3, 1-1) versus Youngstown State (5-1, 1-0) is sure to be a scorcher, as the ’Birds try to put the red-hot Penguins on ice. “The Missouri Valley this season is starting to crank up now,” Brock Spack, head football coach, said.
“We’re going into the middle of the schedule — the heart and soul of it. We’re all trying to set ourselves up for a push to November.” The running game of both teams is going to be a point of interest for fans. Redbird tailback Marshaun Coprich is coming off of the best game of his career. He ran through, between and over WIU defenders for career highs in carries (24), yards (124) and touchdowns (3) on Saturday. Youngstown State has a yardagemonster of its own at tailback. Martin Ruiz, freshman from Tampa, Fla., has
been putting up huge numbers all season for the Penguins. In six games, he has rushed for 491 yards on 88 carries and 10 touchdowns for an average 5.6 yards per carry. With quarterbacks, it is going to be a rookie versus veteran matchup. Redbird redshirt freshman quarterback Blake Winkler is coming off a strong showing last Saturday against WIU where he went 20-for-29 for 234 yards, two touchdowns and zero interceptions. For the Penguins, senior quarterback Kurt Hess has been showing his skills and experience with 1190
passing yards and 11 touchdowns so far this season. “[Winkler] is getting more comfortable,” Spack said. “He made some very good throws on Saturday. He threw the ball very well, for the most part. He had some freshman moments out there. [But] it’s just part of the growing pains you have when you’re dealing with a redshirt freshman quarterback.” The Redbirds are coming off their strongest defensive effort of the year, holding Western Illinois offense to 21, while YSU’s defense was able to hold
off Indiana State for a 35-24 victory Saturday. “Defensively, they are very physical up front, and they’re going to be a handful for us,” Spack said. “They have always been very physical and tough and it won’t be any different this year.” This will be the 23rd meeting between ISU and YSU. The series has been split down the middle with each team winning 11. The game will be broadcast live at 6 p.m. on Comcast SportsNet Chicago Plus.

It’s just a way we can show them how much we care.” O’Shaughnessy likes to make his support of cancer awareness and research obvious throughout the month of October, sporting things like pink sweatbands, sleeves and gloves on the gridiron. 111 W.

James O’Shaughnessy: playing
the game for a cause
tawni ricketts Sports Editor For tight end James O’Shaughnessy, Breast Cancer Awareness month hits close to home. O’Shaughnessy is not only playing for a cause throughout the month of October, he is playing for his family. “My aunt just finished radiation, hopefully [the breast cancer] doesn’t come back. My stepfather was diagnosed with prostate cancer a year and a half ago, and he’s still working through that, and both of my grandfathers died of
in life,” he said. “Namely, with my aunt, we were all really understanding of the process and what she was going to go through. “Something emotional like that — it’s something that brings you closer, especially never really knowing how it’s going to turn out. It sheds a light on what’s important in life, especially with family.” O’Shaughnessy, as an individual, has participated in numerous cancer awareness events and fundraising activities with members of his family, including several 5Ks, but for him, being able to show support as a team through

As the fall season approaches and the seasonal colors change, one particular color stands out: pink. October is Breast Cancer Awareness month and sports teams all around the nation are taking part.
