Watterson Dining to expand The BOT approved an $8.5 million expansion of facilities, and improvements to the cooling capacity on the east side of campus BRENT BADER News Reporter
The Illinois State University Board of Trustees has approved an $8.5 million expansion of facilities at the Watterson Commons Dining Center. “Campus Dining has been planning this expansion for some time,” Dianne Feasley, registered dietitian and associate director of nutrition and culinary services, said. “The majority of the space is designed for three production areas, a cold preparation area, a ‘cook/chill’ system and a full scale bakery.” ISU will be constructing a two-story addition to Watterson on the east side of the facility, along Fell Avenue. The second floor of this addition will house the bakery as well as a private dining room and a test kitchen. “The dining room will be adjacent to a test kitchen, which will be used by our culinary staff for product testing, recipe development and training,” Feasley said. “This will be an interactive space so that students can see what is going on and be involved in some of the tastings.” Currently Watterson produces bakery items in a limited area. With this addition, it will be able to make more items, such as cookies and bagels, as well as high-end desserts. An area for a “cook/chill” system will be added on the first floor, which allows for full cooking of food followed by rapid chilling and storage at controlled temperatures. This allows food to be purchased in a less processed state and may allow the facility to purchase more local produce in the future. It also gives the kitchen greater control over its ingredients, making for

ISU will be constructing a two-story addition to the Watterson Dining Center. fewer allergens and reduced sodium levels. “The efficiency gained here should allow us to prepare more soups and have a great influence over ingredients and the nutritional content of the foods,” Feasley said. A cold preparation area will also be on the first floor, which will be used for preparation and storage of fruits, vegetables, meats and cheeses. The construction is expected to begin in about a year and continue for another year until completed. The dining area and access to food services should be minimally impacted by the construction. Watterson receives chilled water from the Southeast Chilled Water Plant for its cooling requirements. The addition is expected to meet chilled water requirements, which exceed the facility’s current capacity. The southeast facility is expected to be increased as well to meet the demand. The project is being paid for from the Campus Dining reserves, which have been accumulated for five years
to fund a project that would address these needs. “In spite of the state’s budget, we’re able to move forward on some of these projects because we’ve already located the funding,” Greg Alt, vice president for finance and planning, said. “In some cases, like this one, we’ve saved up over years to pay for it without having to raise or borrow money.” Similar projects, such as renovations on the Fine Arts Complex, Cook Hall and Turner Hall roof, are frozen due to the lack of a budget and the uncertainty of what ISU’s cuts will be. “We’re having to hold back on other projects we need to proceed with,” Alt said. “Those projects are all frozen and won’t move forward right now because the state is on their stalemate on the budget.” The last construction project at Watterson Commons Dining Center was a complete renovation, which began in the summer of 2009 and was completed in the fall of 2010 after several phases.
ISU marks high in Dept. of Ed BRENT BADER News Reporter
Illinois State University received high marks on the U.S. Department of Education’s College Scorecard. The scorecard provides prospective students and their families with relevant statistics about colleges available in the country and compares its results with the national average. On this scorecard, ISU is shown to exceed the national average in graduation rate, freshman retention rate, salaries earned after graduating and the speed by which students repay their college debt. “I think Illinois State shows up in a lot of ranking systems,” Jay Groves, University chief of staff, said. “They don’t tell the whole story but provide independent verification that we’re doing the right things.” The scorecard specifically mentions ISU’s 71 percent graduation rate and 82 percent freshmen retention rate, which is above the national average of 44 percent and 67 percent respectively, according to the scorecard. “We have a very personalized education here and a faculty which is very focused on teaching learning, and that’s why our graduation rates are higher than other places,” Troy Johnson, associate vice president for enrollment management,

said. “We also have students that are focused on finishing their education, and students come expecting to do that.” Groves attributes some of the success to ISU’s faculty and academic programs. “It’s a function of our nationally known academic programs, outstanding faculty that provides individualized attention and our student body,” Groves said. These civically engaged students are also repaying their college debt 25 percent faster than the national average. The student loan default rate rests at 2.8 percent while the national average resides at 11.8 percent, which is not found on the scorecard but does impact student repayment speed. “We’ve always traditionally had a low default rate for grads,” Dave Krueger, associate director for financial aid, said. “It probably has to do with the quality of students and our average borrowing.” ISU offers both entrance loan counseling and exit loan counseling to keep students updated on their rights and responsibilities regarding loans which may play a factor. “We’re actually looking to improve [the counseling], and we’ll hopefully make that even lower in the future,” Krueger said.

YouTube’s new investment will not sit well with Millennials
Y
o uTu b e has been around for both college student entertainment and study purposes since February 2005, and continues to get more usage everyday. In recent years, YouTube added advertisements to its videos. Fortunately, users are able to skip over these advertisements after five or 30 seconds, but things are about to change for those who use YouTube on a day-to-day basis. On Oct. 21, YouTube announced a new paid ad-free subscription will include exclusives from YouTube stars. YouTube will also provide a subscription service that gives users access to elite programming, such as allowing videos to be saved to watch offline at a later time. This will also grant access to watch videos on smartphones and tablets at anytime, completely ad-free. While this may seem enticing, YouTube is taking what was once a simple, free website containing thousands of videos and making it less accessible and more expensive for users, which may turn them away.
YouTube attempted something similar to this investment in 2011; it began investing money in Jay Z and Ashton Kutcher, but it did not see the results it wanted, and put its money back toward its own product. “For years, YouTube’s fans have been telling us they want more — more choice when watching their favorite content, more ways
to support their favorite creators and, above all, the option to watch their favorite videos uninterrupted,” YouTube explained in a blog post announcing the news. Millennials have used YouTube as their “video bible” for years because of its easy access and quick results. Nobody really Googles videos anymore; they go directly to YouTube. Even
teachers use the website to show videos and documentaries that relate to the class subject. If YouTube starts forcing people to pay, it will likely lose business from one of its main market of young adults. YouTube also introduced a music streaming app called YouTube Red that will come along with this subscription. This may be a
Editorial Cartoon by Athena Tapia
perk of paying for certain website advantages, but there are already so many free streaming websites, such as Pandora and Spotify. The new subscription service, which launched Wednesday, will cost $9.99 a month for mobile web and Android, but iOS users will have to pay an extra $3 a month for other services and updates. Because Apple is such a popular company in today’s society, many will be forced to pay the extra money just because of their phone brand. Aside from the extra fees, paying around $10 a month for a service that was once free is not something many people will take lightly. The plus side of YouTube Red is it plans on providing users with more original series and films—which will put YouTube in competition with Netflix, whose prices are also increasing. Combining both music streaming and video streaming in one subscription may appeal to a broad number of users, but because many rely on YouTube for free, it will not be a simple transition for the popular video website.

Costumes are important to Halloween experience MY VIEW NATHAN PENN Columnist
H
alloween is students’ one chance all year to dress up and live life as a different person for a night. The annual thrill of becoming your favorite person, character or thing can take a lot of consideration and planning. Social norms can sometimes play too much of a role in how people feel they need to dress on Halloween. Women shouldn’t feel
like they have to dress provocatively for social acceptance or to impress anyone. It can be especially hard to dress scantily on a chilly October night. On the other hand, anyone should feel free to dress as provocatively as they want on Halloween. Slut-shaming is not the answer to make people more accepting of less scandalous costumes. Men and women alike should feel free to show off their bodies with their costumes. Halloween should be a time when students can live out their fantasies, and it’s not up to anybody to tell people how they should dress when doing so. Still, there are certain kinds of costumes that should be avoided
by everyone. Costumes that are insensitive to racial and ethnic groups and play into stereotypes should be shunned. These costumes are not only offensive, but perpetuate a larger cultural prejudice and insensitivity toward already marginalized people. So next time you are thinking of wearing that headdress, reconsider mocking people who have struggled for hundreds of years to preserve their culture. If you are looking to pick a hit costume, pop culture references are key. Everyone at the party will love to see the latest pop culture phenomenon creatively turned into a costume. With friends, you can dress as the whole cast of your favorite
movie, or you can turn the latest meme like “Netflix and chill” into a creative costume. Old pop culture references also make for a popular costume. Everyone will enjoy a little bit of nostalgia in your Halloween costume. You should also try to avoid cliché Halloween costumes that everyone has seen too many times. If you really love Mario and Luigi, Batman or the idea of being a sexy cat, go for it, but do not get upset when there are other people in the same costume at the party. It is always better to make your costume instead of buying one at a Halloween shop. Not only will you save tons of money this way, but you’ll have much more pride

in your homemade costume. Half of the fun of picking a costume is spending time finding the pieces and parts of the costume that make your creation unique from boring ones from the store. Halloween can be one of the most fun holidays of the year, especially if you have a good costume. So this year, celebrate Halloween by showing off your funniest, scariest and most clever creations.

Halloween treats ‘to die for’
Personal mummy pizzas All you need for this treat are two English muffins, a jar of pizza sauce, a few sliced black olives and cheese sticks cut into strips. Separate the muffins into halves and bake them for five minutes at 380 degrees. Spread a spoonful of pizza sauce onto each half and place two sliced olives in place for eyes. Lay the cheese strips across the faces to look like mummy bandages. Bake the Halloween mummies for 7-8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted.
As children, a meal of Tootsie Rolls and M&M’s is ideal, but it now takes a little more substance to satisfy college students; these Halloween treats are easy to make and a bit more filling than candy corn. “Boo”nana pops For this treat, get one banana, one cup of white chocolate, eight chocolate chips and four Popsicle sticks. Cut the banana in half lengthwise and then in half again. Insert a Popsicle stick into
the end of each banana and lay them on a wax paper lined cookie sheet and place them in the freezer until hard. Melt the white chocolate in the microwave 30 seconds at a time. Dip each banana into the chocolate, scraping off the excess chocolate from the back of

the banana. Quickly add the chocolate chips for the eyes before the chocolate hardens. Return bananas to the freezer until hardened.

Candy corn punch Equal parts yellow Gatorade, orange soda and lemonade Vitamin Water are needed for the candy corn gradient. Fill a pitcher with ice and pour in the orange soda until one-third of the container is filled. Slowly pour the Gatorade directly on the ice and let it trickle down on top of the orange soda until it fills two-thirds of the container. Finally, pour the lemonade on the ice and let it trickle down on top of the Gatorade. Compiled by SUSANNA DOELHER

The slow process of the one-cent tax increase in Bloomington-Normal is beginning to take shape as Normal begins to form more solid ideas of where the public will see the money go. “We are first looking at the needs in the community that are not being met,” Mark Peterson, city manager of the Town of Normal, said. Those gaps in the community include mental health services, Connect Transit, economic development, investment in businesses and also various other departments such as the community’s Parks and Recreation department. The most certain result of the tax increase will be going to invest in mental health services in the Twin Cities Behavioral Health. Peterson said the state and federal government the past couple of years have cut back on such programs such as mental health services. Once the government began to cut back on these programs, the Twin Cities took an inventory of the local community programs and found “some very serious gaps,” Peterson said. Another gap includes current problems with local transit. Residents may see money going toward helping improve Connect Transit services they currently offer. Currently Connect Transit only runs until 1 a.m. and does not offer services on Sundays. “We understand the needs of
students on ISU’s campus, and if they do not have a car, this may be their only form of transportation,” Peterson said. Money from the tax increase will help expand current transit services. Plans include expanding hours to Sundays and offering later services past 1 a.m. Residents may also begin to see changes in various departments run by the Town of Normal. Remaining money may be split between various departments in town, including the Department of Parks and Recreation. “The different departments were told to propose projects they would like to see if they were to be given any money,” Angela Malone, aquatics and special events supervisor for the Town of Norma,l said. Malone and other members of the Parks and Recreation department gathered information and came up with several improvements they would like to see, including changes to the Fairview Family Aquatic Center. “We would like to broaden who we are attracting to our water park,” Malone said. Currently, the water park mostly attracts younger kids. Malone said they would like to see more middle school and elementary aged kids. Proposed changes include an improved concession area, to offer more fresh and on-the-spot options, and a climbing wall. Money raised by the tax increase may also go toward improving roads in Uptown and plans for a new library.

Legend of Ange Milner lives on BRENT BADER Features Reporter
Some say ghosts and spirits linger in the same places their physical forms resided for most of their lives. If this is true, it is no surprise that Angeline Milner’s ghost is said to have been seen multiple times in Williams Hall in the ’70s and ’80s. Many even believe her presence is still felt today. Milner, or Aunt Ange as she was known, grew up in Bloomington and without any formal education was tutored by her mother. After helping catalog and organize specimens for the natural history lab, she was hired by Illinois State University in 1885 to pull all of its collections together to catalog and organize it into one spot, becoming ISU’s first library in The Old Main Building. ISU was so thrilled with her progress that she was kept on staff despite her original position being temporary. She maintained the collection and purchased other additions. “She had no formal background in libraries, so she went to conferences and she learned what was going on,” Angela Bonnell, head of government documents at Milner Library and resident Aunt Ange expert, said. “She started teaching instruction lessons to students and those instruction models were then emulated and recognized worldwide.” This was before instruction classes and teaching students to properly navigate the library was

Angeline ‘Ange’ Milner was a librarian within Williams Hall before she died in 1928. Many say her presence has stayed on the ISU campus. as commonplace as it is today in Milner Library. She was present during a formative era for libraries and she wrote to many publications. Bonnell herself, who was studying for her thesis about the first 50 years of federal depository library status, based some of her research on what Milner had been writing at the time. “I wouldn’t have been able to have any good sources without her,” Bonnell said. “It’s through my studies that I learned of her and read her work, and she’s just a fascinating person.” Over time she built a large staff, and the library moved a couple times to accommodate the growing collection. The mod-
est library grew from just 2000 pieces to around 4000 during her time at ISU while she also grew her relationship with the student body. “Students cared so much for her that if the weather was inclement they would walk her home from the North Hall library to make sure she was okay,” Bonnell said. When Milner died on Friday, Jan. 13, 1928, the library closed for the day and services were held on campus. In 1976 they opened the first Milner Library, which is known today as Williams Hall, to recognize her contribution to ISU. It was once the books were being moved from Williams Hall to the current Milner Library that
people began seeing her ghost. The older books remained in Williams at the time and as student workers from the library went to retrieve the books, they spoke of strange indiscernible noises and visual distortions in the stacks. Joan Winters, a library operations assistant, spoke to the Pantagraph in 2000 claiming to have seen a ghostly 4-foot-10 frail figure standing in the stacks. “They liked her,” Bonnell said. “Nobody was scared or frightened.” All of the books were officially moved from Williams to the new Milner in 2007, or placed in the North storage facility, and the ghost stories ended as the stacks area was left vacant and remains empty to this day. Whether or not her spirit remains drifting through the campus remains a mystery, but her presence on campus is felt so strongly it is as if she has been in the library the whole time. The pillars she established for ISU early on, as well as her philosophy, remain the foundation of the library today. “She spent a lot of her time and commitment to students, the same philosophy and the same traditions and the same commitment is still very much our building blocks of this library,” Vanette Schwartz, social sciences librarian at Milner, said. “We still try to fulfill student needs and make those commitments to students to help them be successful in their education and hopefully in their long term careers.”

The ghost of Angelie Milner in Williams Hall
Located on 1207 N. Main St., Illinois Wesleyan University’s international house has been known to contain sightings of the original owner’s wife, Mrs. DeMange. It is said that late at night on certain evenings, the woman appears in a full-length mirror dressed in her favorite red gown, and prepares herself for an elaborate ball. Although she herself cannot be seen, her reflection in mirrors is clear in the moonlight. Residents of the hall say feeling a presence following you up and down staircases is not uncommon, as they wait for DeMange’s scarlet red return.
In the heart of Illinois State University’s campus, Williams Hall has been said to possess the ghost of Angeline Milner, a dedicated librarian within ISU’s original library. After her death in 1928, a new library, Milner Library, was built and named in her honor. Though as time passed, several of the old books Milner had previously filed would see less use. These works were kept in Williams Hall, where sightings of her ghost were reported by several staff members. Many who visited Williams Hall have witnessed extreme temperature drops and a paranormal presence.

All-MVC preseason polls released JOSH TOLENTINO Sports Editor
The MVC revealed its preseason polls Monday, which predict the Illinois State University men’s basketball team to have a fourth-place finish, while ISU guard DeVaughn Akoon-Purcell was selected to the All-MVC Preseason Team. Wichita State’s backcourt duo of Ron Baker and Fred VanVleet and Evansville’s D.J. Balentine and big man Egidijus Mockevicius round out the rest of the All-MVC Preseason Team. Tabbed ahead of ISU are Wichita State, Evansville and Northern Iowa. A senior wing from Orlando, Akoon-Purcell was named MVC Newcomer of the Year last season after leading all MVC newcomers in scoring (12.8 ppg), finishing seventh in the
league and second on the team to Daishon Knight. Akoon-Purcell is the first Redbird to earn MVC Preseason Team honors since Jackie Carmichael prior to the 2012-13 season. Following a 22-13, 11-7 finish last season, the Redbirds return 50.6 percent of their scoring, 54.5 rebounding and 61.8 percent of their assists and steals. Head coach Dan Muller’s squad boasts six returners (Paris Lee, MiKyle McIntosh, Tony Wills, Justin McCloud, Deontae Hawkins, Akoon-Purcell), five freshmen (Keyshawn Evans, David Ndiaye, Matt Hein, Elvis Harvey, Roland Griffin), graduate transfer Quintin Brewer, walk-on Javaka Thompson and transfer eligible Nick Banyard. “We’re going to play fast on both ends,” Muller said. “I like the direction we’re headed. Paris and DeVaughn have been
terrific, consistent leaders.” A crowd of 2,922 fans were treated to a sneak peek of the men’s and women’s team at Hoopfest on Doug Collins Court at Redbird Arena on Friday. The ’Birds were able to display their athleticism in a dunk contest and scrimmage, giving the Redbird faithful a preview of how fast they can potentially play this season. ISU hosts Southern Indiana Nov. 8 at 2 p.m. for its sole exhibition game and will kick off the regular season with a 9 p.m. CST tip off at San Diego State Nov. 13. The ’Birds begin MVC play Dec. 30 against Missouri State at Redbird Arena. For a full breakdown of all MVC Men’s/Women’s basketball preseason polls and teams:

Young leaders of the pack
Underclassmen Kiley Walsh and Trent Wallace help lead rest of Redbird golf progam toward success RYAN KENNETT Sports Reporter
In most cases, upperclassmen are the leaders in college sports. But in the case of the Redbirds women’s and men’s golf teams, sophomore Kiley Walsh and freshman Trent Wallace took the reigns and led both of their teams for the fall season. Walsh came into the season as the No. 24 player in the MVC rankings as she posted a score of 19-over-par, which tied her for seventh in the MVC Championship in the spring. Walsh also led her team in individual scores in every tournament that the fall schedule had to offer. Although she does play golf in her spare time quite often, Walsh also loves to do yoga to get her mind off
of things. “I do yoga wherever I am at,” Walsh said. “Yoga has given me a mindset that there are times in everyday life that you can have peace in everyday life. Sometimes it’s tough to be out there when you’re not shooting as well as you want. It allows me to think I am playing Division-I golf with my best friends and that everything is going to be ok.” When it comes to influences for Walsh, she doesn’t have to look too far as her biggest influences are the people who have always been supporting her throughout her life: her parents. “Even though I am the baby of the family, they still travel all across the country to come and watch me at all my tournaments, no matter how far
I am. We have gotten to the point where even through highs and lows, life off the course continues to go on and they never put pressure on me. Even if I have a bad round, they always find positives for me.” Every time Illinois State Univeristy has to play in a tournament against MVC rivals Bradley, Walsh has to not only play against a tough opponent, but she also has to play against her sister Allison, who is a senior golfer at Bradley. “Being able to play against Allison in four tournaments is a big motivation for me to do well and have a lot of positive vibes on the course, knowing my sister is there as well.” For Wallace, life off the course consists of hanging with his teammates and studying. But on the course, he
led his team in four of the five tournaments this fall, including a second place finish at the D.A. Weibring Intercollegiate. Along with finishing second, Wallace also took home the award for MVC men’s golfer of the week for his performance. “[I have been] working hard in practice and incorporating some of the mental things that coach Kralis always says to us,” Wallace said. “I have done a good job of focusing and staying in the moment to make sure my scores are as low as they can be.” As spring comes around, Wallace knows that his team has got what it takes to do better than the fall schedule. “We aren’t playing to our full potential. When spring comes around I think we will pull together
and put up better rounds than what we did in the fall.” Playing at Weibring is always a fun time for the players, but Wallace enjoys playing at one of the courses that is featured every year in the PGA. “Firestone in Ohio is one of the nicest courses out there. It was cool to be out there and do what I love on one of the nicest courses in the world. I enjoyed playing at the same course as some of the greats like Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson and Jordan Speith.” Ryan Kennett is a sports reporter at The Vidette.

Game Preview
After dismantling Western Illinois to take first place in the MVFC, another ranked matchup awaits as No. 3 Illinois State faces No. 21 Indiana State ZACK CARPENTER / Sports Editor
THREE KEYS TO WIN Lather. Rinse. Repeat. The Redbirds keep getting tested and keep passing with flying colors. With the matchup against Indiana State, they will need to get up again and be ready for their fourth top-25 matchup in the last five games. It doesn’t look like the tough schedule has affected the ’Birds very much, as they keep running through talented opponents.
Welcome back Teddy After missing six-plus weeks with a foot injury, All-American defensive end Teddy Corwin saw limited action in last week’s win over Western Illinois. Corwin should see increased snaps this Saturday, so look for him to provide an explosive attack either from the edge at defensive end or inside at defensive tackle.
NUTS AND BOLTS
PLAYERS TO WATCH
SPACK’S COMMENTS
REDBIRDS Illinois State (6-1, 4-0 MVFC) has already faced one of the nation’s toughest schedules in the FCS’ most competitive conference, and it doesn’t get any easier Saturday. The ’Birds will be looking to hold onto the top spot in the Missouri Valley Football Conference while trying to lock down a 17th straight win at Hancock Stadium.
REDBIRDS Teddy Corwin finally got back into action last week against Western Illinois. After missing the previous five games with a foot injury, the All-American defensive end is looking to put a spark into a front four that has already been working at an elite level of late. Corwin adds an even more electrifying element to the mix.
“[This week] is par for the course; the cannibalism continues. That’s life in the Missouri Valley. We have a really good team coming in here, a team we had a really tough game against a year ago. It will be another challenging game for us.”
SYCAMORES Indiana State (4-3, 2-2 MVFC) has done what it was supposed to do so far in the conference season -- beat who it’s expected to beat (Missouri State, Southern Illinois) and lose to who it’s expected to lose to (South Dakota State, North Dakota State). The Sycamores are looking to play huge spoilers, but they have a big task against one of the best teams in the nation.
SYCAMORES Connor Underwood is a name that should sound very familiar to Redbird Nation. Underwood, an All-American senior linebacker, is the younger brother of former ISU LB Colton Underwood, one of the most successful players in the history of the program. The younger Underwood, who has been hampered by a hamstring injury this season, is currently the Sycamores’ all-time leading sacks leader (30.5).

ILLINOIS STATE 42 INDIANA STATE 17 After trailing for the first time at Hancock last week against Western Illinois, the Redbirds stormed back with 27 unanswered points against the Leathernecks to put to bed any doubt as to who is the top dog in the conference.
Expect another blowout victory as the ’Birds capture a 17th straight victory at home to extend the nation’s longest home winning streak. They should easily handle a Sycamores team that doesn’t have enough on offense or defense to
Lay the wood Although the linebacker has been slowed by injury this year, Connor Underwood is one of the most talented players in the MVC. Underwood, who has racked up 20 tackles, 4.5 tackles-for-loss and two sacks, will need to provide an explosive edge for the Sycamores and be in the backfield disrupting Tre Roberson and Marshaun Coprich’s one-two punch on the read option. He will also need to chase down Roberson on the QB’s notorious scrambles when plays break down. Let Matt at ’em Starting QB Matt Adam has gotten it done through the air with 1,349 yards passing with a 14:5 TD/ INT ratio. He isn’t shabby on the ground, either, with 367 yards rushing and three touchdowns, including an 81-yard run.
Remember last year
PREDICTION
Connect on the deep ball QB Tre Roberson has not been hiding who his deep threat has been this season. Anthony Warrum has been targeted downfield early and often the past few weeks. The junior WR has been on fire, with 16 catches for 450 yards and six TD over the past three games, and has 10 TD on the year.

THREE KEYS TO WIN
stop the No. 3 team in the nation. The ’Birds are in the middle of battling through a brutal schedule, but that is only motivating them each week to come out and take care of business on the field. The real ISU takes the W.
In a rough, grind-it-out game last season, the Sycamores just barely let an upset bid slip away as the ’Birds escaped with a 2018 win in Terre Haute. Indiana State will have to have a repeat performance—and hope the Redbirds struggle and let them keep it close.
