Illinois congressmen denounce Trump KEVIN SCHWALLER News Reporter | @kevschwa
U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis and Congressman Darin LaHood criticized Republican Presidential Nominee Donald Trump over the weekend following controversial comments he made toward women. Trump talked about being able to grope women because of his celebrity status in a recently resurfaced video from 11 years ago. The comments are resulting in a handful of Republican politicians denouncing the nominee. Davis, who represents Illinois’ 13th Congressional District, withdrew his support for the candidate. “As parents of a teenage daughter and teen twin boys, my wife and I teach them to respect women and that they will be judged by their words and actions,” Davis said in a statement. “The abhorrent comments made by Donald Trump are inexcusable and go directly against what I’ve been doing in Washington to combat assaults on college campuses. Because of this, I am rescinding my support for Donald Trump and asking to have my name removed from his agriculture advisory committee.” He also said he hopes Trump’s running mate, Governor of Indiana Mike Pence, takes his place as the nominee. “With the terrible options America has right now, I cannot cast my vote for any of the candidates, so I hope Donald Trump withdraws

LaHood, representing Illinois’ 18th Congressional District, has yet to announce if he is withdrawing his support for Trump but also condemned the nominee’s comments. “I wholeheartedly reject these comments and have real difficulty explaining them to my wife, mother or sisters,” he said in a statement released to the media. “They are completely offensive and should be repudiated at every level.” Trump sent out an apology and vowed to stay in the race for presidency.

Sen. John McCain, CEO of HewlettPackard Carly Fiorina and Gov. Jeb Bush, have also condemned Trump. Davis and LaHood both face challengers in the upcoming Nov. 8 election. Davis is running against Democrat and former Macon County Board member Mark Wicklund. LaHood is running against Democrat and Eureka College history professor Junius Rodriguez. Rodriguez previously called on LaHood to withdraw his support from Trump in August, like his father, Republican and former U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood, did.

Sen. Richard “Dick” Durbin, D-Ill., appeared Tuesday at Get Out the Vote at Illinois Wesleyan University hosted by Illinois Wesleyan and Illinois State College Democrats. Appearing before a small group of students, faculty and community members, Durbin fielded a variety of questions related to the upcoming election as well as current policy issues. Durbin opened by tearing into Republican nominee Donald Trump. He did so by drawing parallels between the candidate and Belarus President and strongman Alexander Lukashenko. “[Lukashenko] had an election, which was more so just a ploy to support himself,” Durbin said. “Following the election, he had anybody who ran against him jailed. I actually spent several years fighting for the freedom of his opponents.” Durbin then used the example to discuss Trump’s statements during Sunday’s presidential debate. “Saying ‘I’ll appoint a special prosecutor and have you thrown in jail’ [to Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton] represents a new low in American politics. I may, and have before, fight an elected president in four years when it’s election time, but when they’re newly elected they’re my president.” Durbin used the parallel to move into his main message of the event: the importance of voting in the upcoming election. see DURBIN page 3

Professor awarded $210k grant
DURBIN continued from page 2
“Take the number of years in your life and divide it by four,” Durbin said. “That’s how many presidential elections you get to vote in. Don’t miss out.” Following his remarks, Durbin opened the floor to questions from students and community members. Questions fielded involved the senate race between Tammy Duckworth and Mark Kirk, the ongoing state budget crisis and concerns about the Voting Rights Act, among others. Durbin had strong words for state politicians involved with the ongoing budget crisis. “What really strikes me about the budget crisis is the affect it’s having on universities downstate,” Durbin said. “I recently met with the president of Carbondale’s Chamber of Commerce, and he explained that the town is paying the price for reduced enrollment. The budget impasse affects the most vulnerable people in Illinois, and I hope to see both parties in the state government complete their responsibility to agree on a new budget.” When asked by an audience member if relations between Democrats and Republicans were “the worst they’ve ever been,” Durbin conceded that they were. “The tenor and tone of the Republican campaign scares me to death,” Durbin said. “Unfortunately I don’t think it’s going back in the bottle on Nov. 8. I really hope that the Republican party finds its footing after the election.” Durbin closed the event by remarking again on the importance of respecting the political process and the legitimacy of elections within the United States. “There’s this mentality that if you don’t jail your opponent once you win, you question the results of the election. We see this a lot in developing countries,” Durbin said. While Durbin dismissed such behavior in American politics as dangerous, he did reference the controversy surrounding Russian involvement with political information leaks. “What Russia and others are doing is calling into question the security of our election process,” he said.
KATELYN PROVOW News Reporter
Illinois State University chemistry professor Andy Mitchell has been awarded a $210,000 grant to work with students to explore “organic synthesis” research. Undergraduate and graduate students are mentored by Mitchell in organic synthesis, which allows the young chemists to construct entirely new compounds. Organic chemistry is the study of the structure of carbon-based compounds by means of organic reactions. Mitchell noted the most important goal is to teach students the basic foundations of chemistry and for them to learn the proper techniques to handle organic compounds in the lab. “They’re learning problem solving skills. They’re learning how to ask those questions, learning how to solve or answer those questions, and sometimes there’s a chance my students will go on to do organic synthesis for the rest of their lives,” Mitchell said. Under Mitchell’s mentorship, students will work with cycloadditions. These are formed through chemical reactions where two flat pieces are added together to form a three-dimensional ring. “Three-dimensional structures are very important in chemistry and in our bodies,” Mitchell said. “We are three-dimensional creatures ourselves.” The $210,000 grant funds the opportunity for Mitchell to work closely with six students and pay for chemicals that can be very expensive without this reward. In the lab, the students will work to learn the basic research of organic chemistry. These

Andy Mitchell (top right) will use the awarded grant to study organic chemistry. compounds in the future have the possibility of leading scientists to new medicines. “It’s different than any class anyone’s ever taken. When someone does research, they’re actually learning on the job and that could be both fun and challenging because by definition we’re trying to do new things,” Mitchell said. “So students are faced with reactions that won’t work, for example, and that could be frustrating, but what we’re trying to teach them is to say ‘this is a reaction that may or may not work.’” In addition to the mentorship, the grant includes outreach activities, and one of those is involvement in the Illinois
Summer Research Academy (ISRA). The ISRA is a week-long program faculty can sign up for to mentor current high school students. “[Mitchell] provides a life affirming and aspiration ally achievable goal for the students to see themselves as scientists in the future,” Director of the Center for Mathematics, Science and Technology Dr. William Hunter said. “He puts a very congenial human face on scientific research and scientists.” The research academy allows high school students to work with hands-on research projects and use techniques they have not been able to experience yet.
McLean County History Museum restores bird’s eye view ALI RASPER News Reporter | @alirasper4
The McLean County Museum of History in downtown Bloomington has recently restored one of its most prized possessions: the 1873 bird’s eye view print of Bloomington. The print started deteriorating and became almost impossible to make sense of. After exposure to sunlight, mold, humidity, possible water damage and other factors for 143 years, materials begin to fall apart very easily. The museum decided to restore it after the International Questers Organization donated $1,500 for the restoration of the priceless print. Without the help of the International Questers, the museum would not have been able to make this possible due to a lack of funds. “Of course we would not have been able to do this without the $1,500 donation from Questers, which is a local antique group,” Bill Kemp, the librarian at the museum, said. “Without Questers, there is no restoration of the bird’s eye.” The Questers is a non-profit organization dedicated to the study and preservation of historical objects. Graphic Conservation Company on the south side of Chicago is responsible for the restoration. The process took one year to complete.
“It’s wonderful because we didn’t have air planes back then so getting an aerial view is a very rare thing,” volunteer George Perkins said. The print was created by Augustus Koch, who toured the Bloomington community to provide a detailed record of what the land looked like at the time. The bird’s eye view shows the street grid along with houses, schools, buildings, factories and more. “This bird’s eye really is a wonderful snapshot of what Bloomington looked like more than 100 years ago,” Kemp said. Citizens of Bloomington refer to the print when trying to find out information about the 19th-century Bloomington. “It’s a valuable tool. It’s an accurate map of Bloomington in the year 1873,” Kemp said. The 143-year-old print was re-hung in the museum’s library reading room, where it will stay for visitors to observe, on Monday. The museum is also looking into the possibility of uploading a photo online for people to look at it with easy access. Museum workers are overjoyed with the restoration of one of Bloomington’s priceless artifacts. Employees are fortunate to own a piece of history, considering the uniqueness of the print. “There are not many extant copies of this bird’s eye that we know,” Kemp said.

Samsung Note7 explosions spark conversation
S
amsung Galaxy Note7 users should take their phones out, slowly place them on the ground and run far away before they explode. Initial reports from Samsung dating back to August detail that Note7 phones were catching fire and exploding, likely due to a battery problem. To solve this problem, Samsung presumably fixed the issue and reinstated the Note7 with replacement phones for those with the older version. Unfortunately, the problem was not solved, and the phones continued to spark conversation across the globe until Monday when Samsung released an official statement recalling all Galaxy Note7 phones with no current plans to reintroduce the item at a later date. According to the release, “Consumers with either an original Galaxy Note7 or replacement Galaxy Note7 device should power down and stop using the device and take advantage of the remedies available.” An electronic failure of such magnitude has people from all over the globe worried, but the fact of the matter is that this problem likely would not have occurred had Samsung taken proper time to test
the Note7 before releasing it to the public. While always trying be the first person with the next big thing, proper testing and review is often lost along the way. Take the iPhone 6 Plus release, for example. In 2014, Apple released their newest iPhone, and with that came reports of phones bending in users’ pockets. The laughable instance was coined “Bendgate,” and Apple had to
recall all affected products. Though Apple stated that this problem was not likely to occur in everyday use and only few reports were made, the problem still existed and created something of a controversy over whether or not the iPhone 6 models were as durable as their earlier counterparts due to the slimmer design. Yet again, this was another case where proper trial and error would have likely found and resolved the
problem. Not surprisingly, this need for speed when developing new products and ideas is not new. Dating back to the Space Race, the United States and Soviet Union were competing to discover our Milky Way neighbors. This need to always be onto the next big thing before anyone else has resulted in many tragedies, including the U.S. Challenger shuttle explosion that took place in Janu-

ary 1986. The Challenger shuttle exploded during its launch, killing all astronauts on board. After thorough investigation, it was found to have been caused by an O-ring failing to seal due to cold temperatures. This was easily preventable, but management did not want to wait any longer for the launch to take place since it had already been delayed numerous times. Even after warnings, the Challenger launched anyway, and the disaster ensued. This type of behavior is not only seen in major corporations. It is seen everywhere, every day, even on Illinois State University’s campus. Students rush through their work to just “get it over with,” with no regard to whether or not it is their best work. If the Note7, iPhone 6 and Challenger disasters teach us anything, it should be that the “get it over with” mentality is not just a juvenile thought. It does not disappear once college ends and real life begins. “Getting it over with” may only mean a classroom report now, but five years down the road who knows where your peers will be working and what kinds of products will be in their hands.

Tips for staying healthy as the weather changes MY VIEW KAMARA TURNER | Columnist
I
t’s October, which is also known as everyone’s favorite time of year. It’s the time of pumpkin spice, fuzzy sweaters and, of course, awkward weather changes. During this time of year, it’s very common for people to catch colds because of the drastic weather changes. In the morning it will be
chilly outside, but as the day goes on it starts to warm up. Picking out the right outfit to suit the weather roller coaster is a challenge. Dr. Kittu Jindal Garg, M.D., an international medicine specialist at the Cleveland Clinic, said, “Rhinoviruses and cornoavirsues — the two agents that typically cause the common cold — replicate more easily in cool, but not too cold, so spring weather.” Those who suffer from bad allergies in the spring may also experience these same symptoms during the fall and winter because their immune system is already under attack. Sometimes people may mistake their allergies for a cold. This is
also known as “hay fever.” This term stems from the time farmers would collect the hay at the end of the summer and become sick from what they thought was fever but was actually exposure to allergens in the fields. Over-the-counter supplements such as Vitamins E, C and zinc have not shown to help users get rid of the common cold, despite the rumors that they do. The only things that can help with fighting common colds is staying clear of germs. Washing your hands is very important because cold viruses can live on human skin. To dodge seasonal sickness, follow the same advice all fall that keeps you healthy year-round.
“Having a healthy lifestyle is known to reduce your risk of getting colds,” Dr. Garg said in The Weather Channel article. “If you get a moderate level of exercise, and you have good sleep patterns — you’re sleeping well and sleeping enough — and not under too much physical or emotional stress [you’re less likely to get sick].” As a lover of summer, I have learned the hard way how to dress for cooler seasons such as fall and winter. Not only do I stay away from germs, but also staying physically and mentally healthy is an important factor. Another main cause of the common cold is lack of Vitamin D, which is provided by the sun.
In the winter months, there is a lack of direct sunlight to our skin. When our bodies don’t get enough Vitamin D, it weakens our immune system and we catch colds and the virus spreads quicker. Dress appropriately for the weather, get enough sleep and eat healthy and you are more likely to win the common cold battle many suffer from during this time of year.

Zombies Alive to scare Urban Warfare to combine excitement of zombies and paintball CASEY CHAN Features Reporter | @chancasey93
Z
o m b i e s make great villains in movies and video games. While we may never have a zombie apocalypse in real life, there is an event taking place in Bloomington that gives us a glimpse of what that future would be like. Urban Warfare Paintball will host its fourth annual Zombies Alive event from 6-10 p.m. Oct. 27 through Oct. 31. Accompanied by a haunted house that is sure to frighten anybody who goes through it, Zombies Alive will arm participants with a .68-caliber paintball gun and 50 glow-in-the-dark paintballs, while escorting participants through a maze filled with zombies left and right. Live actors are cast for the role of the zombies, and while they are not armed with paint-
ball guns themselves, they are doing everything possible to make sure the groups do not make it to the end. This gives participants the opportunity to live out some well-known movies and TV shows such as “The Walking Dead” and “World War Z.” Urban Warfare is now located at 10424 E 1400 North Rd. Bloomington and is a much larger venue for all the paintball glory that goes on inside. The credit for this crazy event goes to Urban Warfare Manager Jason Miller. “We want to give the people of Bloomington something they can’t find anywhere else,” Miller said. “It’s an awesome experience and it’s even better with friends, so get a group together and get ready to light up some zombies.” There are a few rules and safety precautions to follow when participating in Zombies Alive. Each participant will don an over-the-head safety protection mask and will be escorted

The time warp will happen again Oct. 27 through the 29 at Normal Theater. “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” (RHPS) is becoming a Halloween tradition after 12 years of its performance at Illinois State University. RHPS was released in 1975, starring Tim Curry (Dr. FrankN-Furter) and Susan Sarandon (Janet). The musical follows two newlyweds after their car breaks down. With a storm in motion and no ride in sight, both must venture to a bizarre estate of the mysterious Dr. Frank-N-Furter. This cult classic involves nudity and unique characters, but since its release has transformed into a theatrical performance. Audience members who dare to partake in the event also participate in various traditions that have accumulated over the years. In fact, many Rocky Horror fans go to performances often. Co-director Lauren Guttschow is now working on RHPS for her fourth year. She said she enjoys doing the show and has seen the movie several times. “Rocky is as unique as it can get. We love the show this much that we get up there and do it ourselves! It’s a real passion project.” Guttschow said. Each year has a different theme the shadow cast (cast that performs with the movie as the film plays behind them) follows, and this year is about sticking to the original. “This performance is back to basics. We are really putting our time and money into making stuff we can use year after year. More props and funny gags,” Guttschow said.

Fall 2016 fashion trends
Faux fur, flannels and fresh fabric combinations make their way into fashionistas’ hearts this year MADDIE WILLER Vidette Blogger | @MaddieWiller
A
s always, the fall kickoff brings endless amounts of faux fur, oversized sweaters and pumpkin-flavored everything. Fall fashion is one of the most versatile seasons to style. With the wrap-up of New York Fashion Week, there is plenty of style inspiration that has made its way into fall fashion trends this year. This fall, styles are coming full circle, rooting from ’90s inspiration with a few holdovers from fall 2015.
This season’s trends are bolder than in past seasons. From the ever-controversial choker to cropflared jeans, these trends are pushing the comfort zones of many. The choker has been a statement piece equally loved and hated by fashionistas alike. Whether it’s a choker or a knit scarf, having something around your neck has become a popular trend. “Just make sure something is around your neck this fall to add a little extra oomph to everything from button-down blouses to cocktail dresses,” Gina Vericella Crevi, owner of gigi BOTTEGA Boutique in downtown Bloomington said.
If a scarf is more your style, you can still get creative with the way you wear it. Try draping it over your shoulders for a makeshift cardigan feel or tie it in a knot and rock the latest trend: the neck scarf. For color palettes, jewel tones are popping up everywhere this season. This palette is being highlighted through different outlets such as emerald green slinky slip dresses, maroon velvet booties or plum suede skirts. Pantone Fashion Color Report revealed colors dusty cedar, aurora red and lush meadow are projected to be some of the front-runners, all of which
fit right into the jewel-tone family. Somehow every year fall favorites manage to sneak their way back into the following season. Fall 2016 is bringing back plaid tops, suede fabrics and thoughtful layering. Although, this season layering intentionally has a new meaning than in years past. Pattern mixing has been a huge breakthrough trend in street style fashion. This season, not matching is the new matching when it comes to layering your chunky knits, graphic tees and favorite plaids. Trying out new color palettes and texture combinations are standing at the forefront of fall
fashion trends. Turning the focus to footwear, fashion trends are straying away from the riding boot this season. Instead, trends have pushed focus onto Chelsea and ankle booties. This fall playing with texture has made its way from head all the way to toes — literally. From velvet ankle booties to transparent heels, trying out fresh fabric combinations is all the rage. As one can see, the best part of fashion is making it your own. Take any of these trends and give it a unique spin for a fresh and fun fall style.
Fix It Friday gives community chance to decrease textile waste MICHAEL FARCA Features Reporter | @farcamichael
Sept. 23 marked the first Fix It Friday at Illinois State University. Fix It Friday is an outreach program where ISU students provide free sewing and mending services for students and community members who have clothing that need repairs. The location changes for every event, and events currently take place every other Friday. Coordinator of Fix It Friday Lauren Barker said this is so that the group can reach different areas of Bloomington-Normal. “It is not a service exclusively for ISU students. The program was started this year by myself, Maddie Willer (who is interning for the Office of Sustainability) and professor Elisabeth Reed”, Barker said. “Ultimately, we wish to provide a service, but also we want to teach people about post-consumer responsibility and the benefit of extending the life of your garments.” Professor Elisabeth Reed believes Fix It Friday is much more than a fun and efficient way to bring more usage out of your clothes. Anna Gallagher | Vidette Photographer “This is an effort to educate and help consumers ISU students Hailee Campbell and Evie Hansen sew at Fix It Friday’s first event. to FIX their clothing rather than to be so quick to discard them. We want to give back to our commupromote sustainable fashion,” Reed said. nity, decrease the amount of clothing and textile waste and Barker said the goal is to promote sustainability in regards
to the fashion industry and to educate people on the impact of not taking the time to fix their clothes, throwing them in the trash or donating them. “Neither option is sustainable. Secondhand markets don’t take the time to mend donated clothes, so really either way it ends up in a landfill. It just depends on whether the consumer is directly or indirectly throwing it away,” Barker said. “While educating people about making sustainable fashion choices, we hope to also teach them basic skills (if they are willing and interested to learn) that would allow individuals to want to fix their clothes themselves.” The next Fix It Friday will take place from 8 a.m. to. noon Oct. 21 at the Coffee Hound in downtown Bloomington. “Everybody is invited to these events and they are welcome to bring any clothing items in need of repairs. This service is available to anyone, so feel free to bring an item that might have a rip or is missing a button … and our skilled fashion students will make it new again,” Reed said. Anyone interested in attending one of these events can follow the Fix It Friday Facebook page to see where the group will set up sewing machines next.

Fast fashion quick to harm Easy access to trends negatively affects environment MADDIE WILLER Vidette Blogger | @MaddieWiller
W
ith the fast-paced lifestyle that Americans have become accustomed to, it is easy to get wrapped up in all of the movement. Fashion has managed to keep up with this pace through the adaptation of fast fashion. Fast fashion has individuals consuming on a level that has never been seen before. The disposability and cloudiness behind fast fashion retailers has consumers in the dark and is leaving the environment to suffer. The overconsumption of clothing happening in America today is affecting much more than consumers realize. The point where consumers decide they have had enough seems to be unreachable. Constantly, people are being influenced through media, fashion trends and news that stems from our need to conform. Fast fashion brands have tossed the fashion calendar out the window. The two-season calendar the industry used to abide by is no longer
existent. New products are hitting the racks weekly, if not daily. As convenient as it is to stay on trend while on a budget, where are costs being cut so shoppers can pay $3.99 for a T-shirt? The fast fashion industry has turned a blind eye to safe working conditions and fair pay in exchange for building an empire. “Our clothing is produced in so many places, and brands lack transparency with these processes,” associate professor Elisabeth Reed said. The culture of fast fashion is to produce a mass amount of an item for the cheapest price possible, which tends to result in outsourcing to factories overseas. The harsh conditions that factory workers face on a day-to-day basis are not on our conscience because production is outsourced, resulting in the theory “out of sight, out of mind.” Consumers need to educate themselves to understand the effects of overconsumption. Unfortunately, the harmful effects of fast
fashion do not stop there. The amount of textile waste that comes from the result of overconsumption due to fast fashion is unimaginable. Reducing textile waste is crucial to sustaining the environment. “Granted, the shirt we contemplate buying is already on a store’s rack, but refusing to buy it in the first place will signal a decrease in market demand resulting in subsequent reduction in following manufacturing cycle,” Andrew Verderber, program developer in the office of sustainability, said. Fast fashion seems to be increasingly prevalent and unstoppable. Whether fast fashion continues or not, fashion will always exist in our world. The potential for a shift toward quality over quantity and for educating customers on what they are truly buying are all steps in the right direction to reducing textile waste.

There’s no question Illinois State University has quite a bit of history in the Bloomington-Normal area. It all started in 1857 when Gov. William Bissell signed a bill to create a school in the town of Normal and establish the Board of Education of the State of Illinois as its governing body. From there, Jesse W. Fell brought the campaign to the city of Bloomington and was able to obtain a financial backing of $141,000. Abraham Lincoln, who was the attorney for the board, created a bond guaranteeing Bloomington citizens would fulfill their financial commitments, and thus Illinois State Normal UniverIF YOU GO sity was created and WHAT: Spread the became the Red exhibit first public WHEN: Daily through institution Jan. 27 of higher WHERE: Turner Hall education in the state. 126 COST: Free It wasn’t SPECIAL NOTES: The until 1968 exhibit shows how that the fashion has changed school at ISU from 1930officially changed its 2010. name to Illinois State University, as the institution was expanding more toward a full liberal arts curriculum. From 1857 to 2016 the school has seen some drastic changes, not only in the way the campus looks, but how its inhabitants, the students, dressed as well. The Lois Jett Historic Costume Collection (LJHCC), which is a part of the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences at ISU, is giving students the chance to take a look at what some of ISU’s alumni were wearing back in the day with its Spread the Red exhibit. Running through January 2017, the exhibit is held in Turner Hall room 126. It features attire from not only the students, but administrators and faculty as well. It allows viewers to see how ISU and fashion changed from 1930 to 2010. Associate professor Jennifer Banning, Ph. D, serves as the advisor for the LJHCC and said she feels it is important for students to see what this school was like back in the day. “The Spread the Red exhibit gives students the opportunity to see how much our campus has really changed over the years,” Banning said. “There is so much history in these outfits and the LJHCC wants to share them with the ISU community.” Lois Jett, a professor in the Department of Family and Consumer Sciences, created LJHCC in 1962. The group has a very impressive collection of over 2,000 items, featuring a variety of clothing and artifacts dating all the way back to 1840. Corrine Norris and Torre Ricossa, LJHCC interns and seniors in the fashion design and merchandising program, put the exhibition together. Gallery hours are 10 a.m.-noon Monday, Wednesday and Fridays and 1-3 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday. The exhibit is free to students and the surrounding community.

Redbird women’s tennis finishes individual season on top of Valley NICK DAMIANI Sports Reporter | @nGDamiani
The Illinois State women’s tennis team shined at the Missouri Valley Conference Individual Championships in Missouri this weekend. The Redbirds won two MVC championships while also grabbing four third-place finishes. The team was led by senior Marcia Tere-Apisah, who won both of the titles after she finished off Evansville’s Diana Tkachenko 6-4, 6-0 to claim the flight two singles title. Tere-Apisah and
partner junior Veronika Golanova dominated Wichita State’s Ting-Ya Hsu and Tanaporn Thongsing 8-4. This is the Redbird duo’s second consecutive conference title. “I am very happy with the way we played this weekend. We had some tough matches on day two and really rebounded nicely on the final day,” head coach Maja Kovacek said. Tere-Apisah finished the weekend undefeated on the way to her third MVC championship since transferring to the Redbirds in 2015 from Georgia State. After last season’s
doubles championship, the singles title is a first for the team’s lone senior. “I think her success comes from her will to win. She experienced some success last season and she really wanted to get back to that point this year,” Kovacek said. Golanova finished a strong weekend with a third-place finish in flight one singles. Junior Valerija Gercar earned a third-place finish, defeating Evansville’s Theodora Soldatou 7-6(5), 6-3. Sophomore Jana Kustkova grabbed a third-place finish in flight four singles, knocking off
Missouri State’s Phoebe Boeschen 6-4, 3-6, 10-8. Freshman Jelena Karla Vujicic grabbed a third-place finish in her first MVC tournament action. She and Kustkova defeated Evansville’s Chieko Yamada and Theodora Soldatou 8-4 in the flight two doubles consolation title. Vujicic has begun her college career with a first and third-place finish in her first two tournaments. The Redbirds showed improvement in their singles play in this season’s conference tournament.
Last year, they won just the singles flight seven title. The doubles teams took a small step back after bringing home two doubles championships last season. The Redbirds return to action in two weeks when they head to the ITA Midwest Regional in East Lansing, Mich. “We don’t know who is going to get to play there but the ITA always brings out some of the best players we are going to see. So it’s going to be fun to see how we play against them,” Kovacek said.
ISU volleyball returns to Nest for weekend action DEB BETHEL Sports Reporter | @theDebBethel
After being on the road for three matches, the Illinois State volleyball team (12-7, 5-2 MVC) will be back at Redbird Arena to continue Valley Conference play at 7 p.m. Friday against Missouri State (14-7, 5-2 MVC) and at 1 p.m. Sunday against Wichita State (13-5, 6-1 MVC). Missouri State is similar to ISU with an identical conference record; however, the Bears are on a fivegame winning streak. MSU leads the all-time series over the ’Birds, 48-46. Last season, the teams split 1-1, with both winning in a sweeping fashion. The Bears have a full returning starting lineup, sans one
setter, which again is equal to the Redbirds’ full returning starting lineup. Wichita State is on a three-game winning streak and recently swept Southern. Although the Redbirds have a winning series record against the Shockers, 34-28, back-to-back losses last season and a WSU winning streak might set the ’Birds back. The Redbirds’ team talked about the importance of defending their home court throughout the season, and this weekend’s play will not include easy sweeps. However, ISU has kept a good conference score so far and is working to keep the intensity level high throughout each set of a match, so each match could be won by either team.

Stop the Salukis MVFC bottom-feeders Illinois State and Southern Illinois seek first conference victory Saturday at Hancock Stadium RYAN KELLY | Senior Reporter | @rkelly1122
THREE KEYS TO WIN Start fast This is seemingly a key to a Redbird victory every week. This year’s team has been notorious for starting slow and trying to play catch up. Scoring first will take some pressure off the Redbirds, who are desperate to get back in the win column.
D-line pressure SIU allowed six sacks last week in the loss to South Dakota State, and four the week before against Northern Iowa. Dalton Keene, B.J. Bello and the defensive line need to put Straughan on his back a few times to help slow down the relentless Saluki passing attack. Keep Kolbe upright Jake Kolbe was sacked six times in each of the last two games for the Redbirds. If the offensive line can give Kolbe time, he has the ability to pick apart opposing defensives, but that is a big if. Kolbe, when under pressure, is more prone to turning the ball over, which is a fantastic recipe to lose ballgames, which ISU fans have seen in the past four outings.
NUTS AND BOLTS
PLAYERS TO WATCH
SPACK’S COMMENTS
REDBIRDS Illinois State (2-4, 0-3 MVFC) has lost four straight games for the first time since 2004. The offense has managed to score just 16 points the last two games combined and failed to score a touchdown in the 20-6 defeat last weekend against Youngstown State. Quarterback Jake Kolbe and the offense need to get back on track if the Redbirds want any chance at making a run to the playoffs. SALUKIS Southern Illinois (2-3, 0-2 MVFC) is coming off of two straight losses to ranked MVFC opponents in Northen Iowa and a shootout defeat at home against South Dakota State last weekend 45-39. SIU is 0-2 in road games this season. SIU leads the MVFC in passing yards with over 1,600 yards.
REDBIRDS James Robinson is coming off of his first career 100 rushing performance for the Redbirds. The freshman had 14 carries and averaged 7.3 yards per carry against YSU. Robinson is facing a SIU defense that allowed 212 rushing yards two weeks ago against UNI. Look for Robinson to lead the ’Birds rushing attack again this week to help balance the attack and take pressure off Kolbe and the passing game.
SPACK: “They are a lot different than last year. They are a 4-3 structured team while also being more over and under. They are more tradtional now than they have been in the past. They used to be a 3-4 and mix it up but that has changed. They play a lot of corner coverage. They are different from how they have played in the past. They are in transition as well. They are on the right track and getting better every week.”
SALUKIS Josh Straughan has 1,608 passing yards this season, which is the best in the Valley. Last week the senior threw 50 times for 380 yards and two touchdowns, his second straight week of throwing more than 300 yards. The 6’2’’ quarterback will look to feast on the Redbird secondary who gave up 303 passing yards two weeks ago against North Dakota State.

PREDICTION ILLINOIS STATE 37, Southern Illinois 31 The Redbirds win in a shootout at Hancock Stadium Saturday night and get back in the win column. If ISU has not learned that coming out fast is important by now, then the team never will. Kolbe and the
offense will be able to move the ball against the suspect Saluki defense. Same could be said for the Saluki offense and the massive passing attack they possess. The Salukis streak of giving up 30-plus points
will continue. Whoever has the ball last will be the winner of this contest, look out for Jake Kolbe and Anthony Warrum to have monster games. ISU’s hopes to make it to playoffs will survive another week.
THREE KEYS TO WIN Air raid SIU is leading the MVFC in passing yards and are taking on a Redbird secondary with the exception of last week and the win over Northwestern that has been suspect this season. SIU heavily favors the pass over the run, so expect more of the same Saturday night.
Take the crowd out The ISU fans have to be restless after the turn of the tide since that big week two victory over Northwestern, which feels like long ago. If SIU takes an early lead, the Redbird crowd will be taken out of the game and not be a factor.
Get some stops SIU has allowed 30 or more points in three of the team’s five games this season, including two straight weeks. The last two weeks the Salukis have let up a whopping 87 points and 970 total yards. ISU’s offense has struggled recently but has shown the ability to move the ball down the field at times. The Salukis defense could have its hands full with the balanced Redbird attack.
