Katie School aids farmers in Ghana
Haunted Trail to spook public NIKKI NIGGEMEYER News Reporter
The Katie School project has also given ISU alums Adolph Okine and Frank Danquah the chance to help their native country. As Danquah explained, farmers in Ghana lack needed government support when droughts hit. “The beauty of this idea is that an index-based insurance focuses on covariate risks and so it is not only one farmer that benefits, but a group of homogenous farmers within a location,” Danquah said. “Farmers in Ghana are therefore going to have that security of protection during droughts.” Danquah and Okine gathered and analyzed data. Okine also prepared a written analysis of research papers for publication, and one recently won best research paper in the Journal of Insurance Issues 2015. As Jones, Choudhury, Danquah
The Normal Parks and Recreation Department will offer the opportunity for a fun, entertaining and spooky night on the Constitution Trail. The trail will be haunted with scary creatures starting at 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday. The Halloween weekend event is open to the public and costs $1 for admittance. Participants can begin lining up behind the Normal City Hall Annex at 100 East Phoenix Ave. The trail runs for approximately a quarter of a mile. The Haunted Trail runs from Vernon Avenue road to the Connie Link Amphitheater. The Haunted Trail event runs for two weekends. This past weekend featured a non-scary kids’ version. The upcoming scary weekend is recommended for older teens and adults. “The second weekend the characters are not out in plain sight; we add special affects like fog machines and strobe lights,” Aquatics and Special Event Supervisor Angela Malone said. “We have scary, creaky, daunting music playing on the trail and characters will be in gory, dark costumes.” Once participants begin the event, there is no way to leave the trail other than to walk completely through it. Before the participants start, however, they will be given a brief introduction of rules and guidelines to follow while on the trail. During this time, participants will be given code words to say if they are too afraid of the characters on the trail. “We have this event not to

Ghana’s economy is heavily influenced by agriculture. Nearly 60 percent of Ghanaian workers are farmers, and agriculture accounts for about half of the country’s gross domestic product. Although this industry is a key leader in Ghana, few insurance plans are available to protect farmers and banks in case of disasters. For the past few years, Illinois State University’s Katie School of Insurance and Financial Services has been working closely with Ghana to create microinsurance products that would make a disaster situation easier to handle. Director of the Katie School James Jones explained why the microinsurance products were developed. “Our purpose in developing this insurance product is to help
manage the risks of crop loss associated with rainfall,” Jones said. The microinsurance product is a low-cost insurance plan designed for farmers who earn a low income. When a poor yield season occurs, and farmers do not have enough money to pay back their loans, microinsurance repays the loans and neither farmers nor banks suffer. In 2008, the Katie School received a grant from Impact Insurance for its research. The Gates Foundation also funded part of the research. From May 25 to June 11, 2009, Jones went to Ghana to collect data for the project with two goals in mind. “One was to help collect data and information that would support our initial grant-funded project related to developing an indexedbased insurance project that could be used to manage risk for farmers
for crop losses,” Jones said. “The second goal was to seek out information about future projects that could involve both ISU students and faculty related to microfinance and microinsurance.” Throughout his trip, Jones documented his daily interactions with Ghanaian professors, chiefs and farmers on his blog. With them, he discussed different index-based insurance plans that could be created to help farmers. Jones also collaborated with Management and Quantitative Methods Professor Askar Choudhury to find ways of correctly assessing crop yields and losses. They have been using rainfall data and Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) satellite data, which place a numeric value on a field’s greenness. Both of these methods more accurately determine whether yields or losses will occur.

The Pantagraph building is included in downtown Bloomington’s redevelopment plan.

Downtown Bloomington redevelopment plans continue AUDREY ANFIELD News Reporter
Dow ntow n redevelopment plans are underway for Bloomington, including competing boutique hotels in the Commerce Bank building and the Pantagraph building. Twin City developer David Bentley and East Peoria-based developer Jeff Giebelhausen presented ideas at the City Council meeting at 5:30 p.m. Oct. 19 at City Hall. This was a non-voting work session. The project involves four buildings; the Pantagraph building at 301 W. Washington St., a property Bentley owns at 103 S. Prairie St., the CII East building at 102 S. East St. and the Clay Dooley building at 307 E. Grove St. Bentley is in the process of buying the Pantagraph building, and several hoteliers are expressing interest in converting the office building into a hotel. The property on 103 S. Prairie St. may become The Pantagraph Professional Office Building. Mayor Tari Renner said the development projects all center on the block that would connect the coliseum to the Route 66 visitor center and museum, which is a
critical block. “The city’s participation in Jeff’s plan would be essentially floating a bond, but the bond would be paid for by the taxes that the project would produce,” Renner said. “So it would not come out of any of our current taxes. The city’s participation would be dedicating revenues that we’re not getting right now, at all, to pay for the bond.” “So if we have an increase in property taxes as we would on that site, the increase in property taxes would be dedicated to pay off a bond that would probably pay parking or something.” Renner says they are getting no sales tax, hotel and motel taxes and no restaurant taxes. Once a project is built, the city would rebate or dedicate taxes to developers as incentives for their project funding. There are plans to open a restaurant and coffee house on the first floor of the CII building, as well as convert the upper floors into upscale apartments. During the meeting, architectural drawings were presented of what the buildings could look like after these renovations. There are several hotel development options, which would mean either new construction
or renovation of buildings in the block surrounded by Washington, Center, Front and Madison streets. The hotel development options include one hotelier interested in turning the vacant Front ‘N’ Center building into a select-service hotel. “Bottom line is we’re really excited about both of these projects,” Economic Development Coordinator Austin Grammer said. “We’re excited to see interest in investment in the downtown, but we want to approach it cautiously and be good stewards of the tax payers resources of the city’s money, basically cause the city money is the citizens money so we want to make sure any assistance we provide is truly needed and will have a positive benefit for the greater community.”

No room for additional Democratic candidates
J
im Webb announced Tuesday he would no longer participate in the Democratic presidential nomination. However, he did mention that he would consider an independent bid since he believes the Democratic Party has moved away from its core values. Many people were expecting Vice President Joe Biden to take this opportunity to announce his bid for the presidency. However, Biden declared Wednesday that he would not run, saying that he does not have enough time to create a “winning campaign” due to the long grieving process he has dealt with after the death of his son. Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee announced that he would end his bid for the presidency Friday. Because former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was already having a “good week” with Webb and Biden dropping out, Chafee felt his time was done as well, he told CNN. With the departure of the three candidates, many wonder whether there is
enough time for new candidates to join the race and if it is even worth it. With how the nominations are already playing out, it seems that beginning a campaign now would be a waste of time. The Democratic presidential nomination is already head-tohead between Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. Prior to the first Democratic debate, Clinton and Sanders were the two candidates that most people were talking about. After the
enter the race at this time might bring them some media attention, but they will quickly be forgotten. When Biden announced he might run for the race, news outlets began discussing what his political agenda could consist of and how he would try to continue President Obama’s legacy. Now that he has dropped out of the race, he is no longer mentioned in news broadcasts and it seems as though he has been forgotten altogether.
debate, they were the only two that scored the highest in polls compared to Chafee, Webb and former Governor of Maryland Martin O’Malley. Even at Illinois State University, students show their support more towards the top candidates than the others. Redbirds for Bernie gathered in September on the ISU bridge to show their support and educate fellow students on Sanders’ campaign. Having another candidate
The same applies to the remaining Democratic candidates. During the debate, most questions were geared toward Clinton and Sanders, basically ignoring Webb, Chafee and O’Malley. The day after the debate these three were regarded as losers mainly because they received very little airtime. If another candidate were to enter the race, they would most likely receive the same results, if not even less coverage. The media would skip over them and return the focus back onto the top two candidates. The race to become the next Democratic presidential nominee has proven to be very up and down. One day there seems to be multiple people running, and the next day the race drops down to be between three or four people. While spots are “open” for new hopefuls to announce their campaign, they should should try running in future elections when they have a better shot of receiving equal airtime and media attention.

ISU products and logos promote labor rights MY VIEW NATHAN PENN Columnist
L
ocal clothing stores have recently stocked up on Illinois State University spirit wear as student and alumni purchases tend to increase around Homecoming. Even now that Homecoming Week is over, the Quad will continue to be flooded with ISU hoodies and T-shirts, but few actually think about where that apparel originally came from. In the globalized world that we live in, unfair labor practices that are often involved the mass pro-
duction of textiles can easily be overlooked, but ISU is doing its part to help defeat this problem. Illinois State is a university affiliate of the Fair Labor Association (FLA), an organization dedicated to finding solutions to end abusive labor practices. By setting labor standards, monitoring companies and holding them accountable for labor abuses, the FLA works to expose abusive companies and establish abusefree supply chains. By working to ensure that a product is made free from abuse from start to finish, the FLA and its affiliates show commitment to finding ways to end widespread labor abuse. With its affiliation to the FLA, ISU shows its dedication to promoting labor rights internationally. Any product that features
an Illinois State logo must live up to labor standards set by the FLA. ISU requires any non-local company that wants a license to make products associated to ISU to be a licensee with the FLA. ISU’s commitment to fair labor practices shows how local organizations can make decisions that have global impacts. In the globalized world that we live in today, seemingly small decisions can have significant effects. ISU’s efforts to ensure its products are made ethically is a progressive policy that sets the standard in the community on how to address labor rights. The University’s merchandise policy emphasizes the issues of international labor rights to the campus and the local community. It may be easy to ignore the supply chain of products manu-

factured far from home, but local leading organizations that stress good labor practices should be revered and followed by the community. ISU’s concern for workers’ rights should be viewed as a call to action for students and the public to change the way that we consume and think about the way our products are made. Unfair wages, unsafe working conditions and other labor abuses threaten human dignity around the world, and it’s every consumer’s duty to recognize these issues and make efforts to change purchasing habits. When a community leader like ISU makes commitments to labor rights, it pushes other organizations and individuals to also think globally. We must be willing to admit that many of the products we value are made immorally. We must

4 dead in Oklahoma State homecoming parade Most sources report that nearly 50 people were injured and four died Saturday after a woman drove her car into the crowd during the Oklahoma State University Homecoming parade. The woman is suspected of driving under the influence. Adacia Chambers, 25, of Stillwater, Okla., struck an unoccupied motorcycle of a police officer who was working security during the parade and proceeded to drive into the crowd. Stillwater police say eight people were airlifted to hospitals with critical injuries.
OSU President Burns Hargis discussed canceling the Homecoming game Saturday afternoon against Kansas. The game was played as schedule, with a moment of silence before kickoff to remember the victims. OSU players knelt on the sideline during the moment of silence. This is not the first tragedy that happened in connection to OSU sports programs. Ten were killed in a 2001 plane crash while returning from a basketball game in Colorado. Also, in 2011, OSU women’s basketball coach Kurt Budke and assistant Miranda Serna were killed in a plane crash in Arkansas.

Democrats push for auto-voter registration The Democrats of the Illinois Senate have proposed a plan to automatically register qualified residents to vote when they apply for a driver’s license or some other form of identification. According to the Pantagraph, Sen. Andy Manar of Bunker Hill, said his proposal to change Illinois from a traditional “opt-in” voter registration state would reduce red tape, save money and increase voter participation. “The current process creates an unnecessary barrier for citizens to exercise their fundamental right to vote, and it’s an insufficient use of taxpayer dollars” Manar said. In spring of last year, Oregon was the first state to adopt an automatic voter registration program. However in its approval process it was met with opposition and no Republicans voted to approve it. There have also been general concerns with this idea, like more trouble at the driver’s license bureau, voter fraud and worries surrounding non-citizens being able to vote.

As for the ISU chapter, the new members have connected through weekly chapter meetings and sisterhoods, to meet and bond with the group, and also to inform the members about AOΠ, its founding, and its philanthropic opportunities, explained Votaw. “As an organization, nationally and internationally, AOΠ fosters sisterhood and relationships,” Votaw said. The chapter also focuses on equality for all. “First and foremost we support equality. Our founders believed in equality for all religions.” These standards are upheld in its chapters across the nations, an also in Canada, along with their mutual philanthropic goals. AOΠ supports research for arthritis, and Strike Out Arthritis is a philanthropic event they hold in some of their more than 130 chapters. The AOΠ chapter at ISU will be working towards increasing awareness of its opportunities for new members on campus. Although it is not officially a chartered group, the organization will initiate its members in January of 2016, upon receiving its charter status.

Carl’s Ice Cream Travel a little further down College Avenue and you will find a little taste of your own hometown parlor near the Illinois State University campus. If you’re a townie, you’re probably familiar with the tasty ice cream cones and the seasonal ice cream flavors that Carl’s brings, but if you’re not from Normal, coming to Carl’s really helps you feel like you’re back in your own hometown again. If you go, you don’t have to take a group, but whatever you do, if you’re in soon, ask for their pumpkin ice-cream bars — think of fall meeting a Klondike bar. Pick one up and you won’t be disappointed.
Fusion Brew Just on the outskirts of campus, you can find Fusion Brew to get your close seasonal flavoring fix. It has a wide variety of milk teas, slushes, snows, a large selection of chais, loose-leaf tea, ice-blended coffee and a full espresso menu.

With almost 25 different creative options of sweet or savory crepes, your mouth will surely water and leave you wanting more. There are so many crepes to choose from; you can even make your own. Not into crepes all day long? They also have lunchtime paninis to satisfy your midday cravings.
LaGondola Spaghetti House One of its slogans is “the best deal in town,” and boy is it right. LaGondola Spaghetti House has week-long specials that are so good; no college kid could pass them up. A personal favorite of mine is all you can eat spaghetti Fridays with meat sauce and fresh bread for only $4.55. What is better than spending your long sad week of classes with your mouth full of $4.55 homemade spaghetti? Compiled by Jay Ibarra /Features Reporter

Study abroad offers many opportunities for students
Bret Farrell/Staff Photographer
ISU offers a variety of study abroad programs that can help students gain invaluable academic and travel experience. REBECCA DAVIS Features Reporter
Chances are you know someone who has studied abroad through one of the Illinois State University programs. Those who study abroad return with new cultural information and stories from different countries that may encourage you to consider planning a trip of your own. There are many reasons why studying abroad can benefit you personally and why every student should consider this option for their education. One of the main reasons students decide to travel to another country for school is to use the travel opportunities that may not be as available after graduation. Programs at ISU allow students to travel in a price range that fits their budget by offering more affordable program and exchange options. Studying abroad also helps broaden educational horizons and increase students’ understanding of the world around them. “Before I studied abroad all I knew was Illinois and other parts of the U.S. Studying abroad helped me learn so much about my major, other people and countries, and myself,” senior deaf education major Elise Sundberg said. “It’s something I think everyone needs to experience.” A study abroad program is also ideal for students, as the options available to them are seemingly endless. Study abroad programs run throughout the entire year, including the summer term, and can fit into anyone’s schedule. Depending on major and GPA factors, there are
many different locations available to choose from, so the most difficult decision in the entire study abroad process may be determining a destination. Studying abroad is also beneficial to students on a professional front, and gaining new cultural experiences can put you ahead in the work force. “When students study abroad they gain a lot of skills, such as independence, leadership skills and intercultural communication and so while that is a personal benefit it also has a translatable career benefit, because our society today is very connected,” Study Abroad Coordinator Samantha Potempa said. “We have multicultural workforces, so students that become future employees can relate to other people and understand other cultures, which is very much valued and needed in today’s work force.” Learning in different places also allows students educational benefits that they might not otherwise receive. In addition to earning academic credit, those who study abroad learn a separate set of skills by simply adapting to a new environment. “Also, you can gain academic credit when you study abroad, so from major to minor to general education, you can be in another place and get credit for it,” Potempa said. For more information on studying abroad, visit StudyAbroad.IllinoisState.edu. There are many reasons why students should study abroad, varying from personal to academic to professional, as well as for future endeavors.

Main Street College talk to explore false memory The College of Arts and Sciences (CAS) will present the fourth Main Street College event at 7 p.m. Monday at the Illinois State University Alumni Center, Room 118. The event is free to the public, and a reception will follow. Professor of psychology Dawn McBride will present her talk Did that Really Happen? Understand False Memory. The talk will explore the concept of false memories and examine factors that influence their creation. McBride will also examine famous cases of false memory and research findings. McBride explained her hope that the public will understand that false memories are a natural occurrence in peoples’ lives. “Because memory is not simply the replay of a stored video in our minds, we can make errors when we attempt to retrieve an event and that reconstruction goes awry,” McBride said. “Thus, in cases where it is important that memory is accurate, like with eyewitness memory, we want to know how best to avoid these errors.” The interests and work of McBride’s students drive much of her research on false memory, she explained. “Currently, Emilee Green, a Bone Scholar, is conducting a study on the factors that inf luence
the misinformation effect in eyewitness memory for her honors thesis in my lab,” McBride said. “In addition, a graduate student and former ISU undergrad student Diana Steakley-Freeman is conducting work looking at the influence of mood and stimulus valence on the creation of false memories.” CAS Dean Greg Simpson created Main Street College. He explained that he wanted to host a series of lectures where ISU professors could present their research to an audience not familiar with that certain discipline. “People in your area will know why something is interesting, but people outside won’t,” Simpson said. “Every scholar should be able to talk to an intelligent outsider, somebody not in the university at all, certainly somebody outside of their own discipline, and explain to them this is what I do, this is what it means and this is why someone should care about it.” Main Street College lectures occur once a semester, and each one profiles a new research area. Past talks focused on the psychological and sociological purposes of World War II era cinema, modern humans sharing DNA with Neanderthals and public health concerns in drugs, foods and vaccines.

It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to figure out that’s a good deal.
Unlike his fellow debaters who spoke on their qualifications, morality and family life, Sanders opened the debate with a simple platform presentation on major issues like climate change and income inequality. Sanders criticized Cooper for addressing Clinton’s email scandal, saying, “The American people are sick and tired of hearing about your damn emails. […] Let’s talk about the real issues.” After the debate, former Virginia Gov. Jim Webb and former Rhode Island Gov. Lincoln Chafee dropped out of the race. Numbers for former Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley remained above 1 percent. Democrats who watched the debate said Chafee had the worst performance, followed by Webb, then O’Malley. Polling showed Clinton still leads on major issues in the presidential race. Clinton stands as the candidate most trusted to handle the economy, income inequality, health care, race relations, foreign policy,
gun policy and climate change. Sanders follows Clinton on income inequality, health care, the economy, climate change and race relations. Biden, despite claiming he will not run, takes second in foreign policy and gun policy. The CNN poll pitted Clinton and Sanders against the top Republican candidates for a general election. In a race between Sanders and businessman Donald Trump, 53 percent of registered voters said they would choose Sanders, compared to 44 percent for Trump. Given the choice between Clinton and Trump, 50 percent would vote for Clinton, with 45 percent for Trump. Sanders would garner less support against former neurosurgeon Ben Carson, though the vote is closer between the two, with 46 percent for Sanders and 48 percent for Carson. Pitted against Carson, Clinton would earn 47 percent support, with Carson at 48 percent. The next Democratic debate will air on CBS Nov. 14. from Drake University.

Illinois State Percy Family Hall of Fame’s 2015 class inducted with ceremony
Illinois State University’s women’s soccer team dropped its second straight MVC contest Sunday in Normal. Evansville overcame a 1-0 deficit to defeat the Redbirds 2-1 after a goal by Nicki Baham in the 93rd minute in overtime. The loss moves ISU’s record to 5-9-2, 2-3 in MVC play. With one game left to play, the ’Birds find themselves in fourth place in the MVC. The first half produced no score and only two shots-on-goal, but the ’Birds seemed to have control of the game, generating six shots and five corner kicks in the first 45 minutes. “I thought we played very assertively in the first half,” head coach Eric Golz said. “I thought we did a really good job of dictating and pushing the tempo both from an attacking perspective and defensive perspective. I don’t think it really generated dangerous chances for us, but we liked the way we were playing.” In the second half, the action picked up. In the 67th minute, Lauren Koehl ripped a shot past Evansville goalkeeper Whitney
Biggs off of a pass from Kelli Zickert to give the Redbirds a 1-0 lead. “In the second half I thought we scored a fantastic goal,” Golz said. “The goal we scored was something we talked about at halftime so the girls did a great job executing.” It would be the only goal the Redbirds would score, as the tide changed after Koehl’s goal. Evansville’s Colleen Dierkes scored 13 minutes after Koehl to tie the game up, then the overtime goal from Baham gave the Purple Aces the winning goal. “I thought we could’ve scored a couple of other goals, but that’s the way it goes,” Golz said. “I think after we scored, the game changed. I thought we were really timid. I thought we were playing not to lose rather than playing to win. We needed to keep attacking and push the tempo, and we didn’t do that.” Evansville lead in shots, including 6-4 in shots-on-goal. Senior midfielder Ali Farkos and defender Abby Van Deventer were honored prior to kickoff in celebration of Senior Day. The Redbirds will conclude their regular season play Thursday when they visit Indiana State in Terre Haute, Ind.

The 43rd class of Illinois State University’s Percy Family Hall of Fame was inducted in a ceremony Saturday. The class features some of the most successful athletes in the University’s history. The five athletic members include Brian Anderson (golf), Kristi Cirone (women’s basketball), Liina Suurvarik (women’s tennis), Laurént Robinson (football) and Neal Cotts (baseball). Anderson was a four-time AllMVC member as well as a 2004 MVC medalist. Cirone is still ISU’s all-time lead scorer and was named a three-time MVC Player of the Year throughout her stellar career. Suurvarik was a four-time MVC

No. 1 singles champion as well as a four-time All-MVC selection. Robinson was one of the most decorated players in the history of the Redbird football program. The receiver racked up 192 career receptions with 3,007 yards (both school records) and added 29 touchdowns. The All-American was also a standout in the NFL, ranking second in the league in touchdown receptions (11) with the Dallas Cowboys in 2011. Cotts was a First-Team All-MVC pitcher and was a 2005 World Series champion with the Chicago White Sox. During the 2005 season in Chicago, Cotts was named Setup Man of the Year, an award given to a pitcher who was outstanding out of the bullpen in a reliever’s role. The lefty reliever continues to see Major League baseball success
as he recently became a member of the Minnesota Twins organization. He will head into the 2016 season hoping to earn a spot on its roster in another reliever’s role. In addition to the five players, Rudy Klokkenga was honored with the Campbell “Stretch” Miller Award after he served several volunteer roles in the ISU athletics department for over a decade. The award, named after a former Redbird who broadcast ISU games in the 1940s and was a member of the St. Louis Cardinals’ broadcasting organization, celebrates contributions from those who did not play or coach but were still crucial to the school’s success. The six were honored in a ceremony Saturday in the Bone Student Center as part of the Homecoming weekend festivities.

Winning with Warrum No. 3 Illinois State continues its winning ways following another huge showing from Tre Roberson, Anthony Warrum in 48-28 Homecoming win over No. 20 Western Illinois JOSH TOLENTINO Sports Editor
Illinois State University head football coach Brock Spack laughed when asked if he expected this type of production from junior wide receiver Anthony Warrum. The MVFC Offensive Player of the Week hauled in four catches for 170 yards and three total touchdowns as No. 3 Illinois State (6-1, 4-0 MVFC) defeated No. 20 Western Illinois (4-3, 2-2), 48-28, Saturday in front of a third consecutive sellout crowd at Hancock Stadium. “I expected it a year ago,” Spack said. “He’s a very good athlete. It was another grind it out win.” On an overcast, windy Homecoming, the Redbirds played a back-and-forth game with the Leathernecks throughout the first half. Quarterback Tre Roberson scored on the Redbirds’ second play from scrimmage, rushing in a career long 65-yard touchdown, which put ISU on the board early at the 13:27 mark of the first quarter. Roberson finished with 8-for14 through for 211 yards and two touchdowns, adding two more touchdowns on the ground off 11 carries. “When Tre can run and also make great passes, it really opens up holes for the both of us,” senior running back Marshaun Coprich said. WIU signal caller Trenton Norvell responded with a nine-play, 47-yard drive and a five-yard touchdown to Lance Lenoir, tying up the score 7-7. “They’re used to playing in tight games,” Spack said. “Everyone’s giving us their best shot and our players now that. They survived the onslaught. It’s what happened to us

Tre Roberson finished with 211 total yards and four touchdowns.
Devon Moore scored untouched on a 10-yard rush, putting WIU up 28-21, with 8:25 left in the third quarter. It was the first time the Redbirds have trailed at home this season. It didn’t take long for the Redbirds to respond as they maintained their composure and answered almost immediately. Roberson scored another 65-yard touchdown. It capped a short three-play, 77-yard drive. ISU went on to score 27 unanswered points during a dominant second half by the Redbirds. Coprich continued to control the ground game with 29 rushes for 206 yards and two touchdowns, including a career long 83-yard rush to the house. “Having experience, we’ve been down before,” Coprich said. “We play tough opponents. We can’t get too hostile in the huddle. We just took it play by play.” Former ISU players Cameron Meredith, Nate Palmer and Laurént Robinson were honored prior to kickoff as captains for the coin toss. Robinson was inducted to the ISU Hall of Fame during a ceremony, Saturday morning. With both the Chicago Bears
and Green Pay Packers on their bye weeks, Meredith and Palmer were part of a handful of ISU football alumni who made the visit for Homecoming weekend. Meredith and Palmer will see each other again when the Bears face the Packers on Thanksgiving. Defensive lineman Teddy Corwin and wide receiver Christian Gibbs both made their returns Saturday after being held out for several weeks with broken foot and cracked clavicle injuries. “It was good to be back on the field,” Corwin said. “Not 100 percent yet but it felt great to be back.” Saturday’s win extends ISU’s winning streak at Hancock to a perfect 16-0 since the stadium renovations. The 16 straight home wins mark the most in all of FCS football. Since their week one loss to Iowa, the ’Birds have been on a roll, winning six straight games, including three games over nationally-ranked opponents. Sitting solely a top the MVFC in first place, ISU hosts another nationally-ranked opponent and MVFC foe, Indiana State (4-3, 2-2), Saturday. Halloween kickoff against the Sycamores is set for noon.
It took her 96th swing of the weekend for Ashley Rosch to commit her first error during the Illinois State University volleyball team’s two matches. Rosch’s first error occurred in the second set of ISU’s victory over Missouri State. “After Tuesday’s match against Indiana State where I had eight errors I got a little upset with myself,” Rosch said. “Jordan [Weatherless] did really well tonight and yesterday so I got some really great sets and see great openings thanks to my middles; it is just a big thanks to my entire team.” Overall, the ’Birds swept the Bears to earn their seventh win in the MVC. After winning the first two sets by an average of over 10 points, it took a combined 62 points to decide the third. Nine out of the 11 tie scores occurred in the final set, with each team facing set points.
“It is all about staying calm in that last part of the third set,” Lexi Varga said. “Staying confident in your team is also important. The plan was to side out the current point and do not worry about the next two points or the point after that.” Ali Line hit .750 with nine kills and a solo block while Jaelyn Keene notched 12 kills with four block assists. Varga contributed 14 kills while hitting .387 with only two attacking errors. Courtney Pence led the way for digs, recording 18. Rosch had a match-high 15 kills and Weatherless earned 44 assists versus MSU. Although the first match of the weekend went nearly two and a half hours, the Redbirds fell in the decisive fifth set against the top team in the MVC, Wichita State.
