ISU’s longest teacher hits 46 years EMA SASIC Senior Reporter
After 45 years, Sociology Professor Wib Leonard has been recognized for teaching at Illinois State University longer than any other teacher. “One of the slogans of ISU is ‘State Your Passion,’ and I thought to myself, if I wasn’t passionate about teaching, researching and reading all the things that faculty do, I wouldn’t be here for this long,’” Leonard said. “There is no doubt that this is my passion.” Leonard’s academic career began when he graduated from Albright College, a small liberal arts university in Reading, Pa., in 1965 with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. He then attended the University of Pennsylvania for his combined master’s degree in sociology-psychology. He completed his education in 1970 by earning his doctorate in sociology from Ohio State University. Later that year, Leonard came to ISU and began teaching in the Department of Sociology and Anthropology. And there he has stayed for over four decades. Throughout his life, sports have always been important to him. During the early part of his career, Leonard was able to combine his two passions to help develop the sociology of sport, field and course. “The sociology of sport is one of the newest areas in the mother discipline of sociology. The first textbook was written in 1973,” he said. “When I received my Ph.D., this field virtually did not exist. I thought maybe I could combine my profession, sociology, with my avocation, which is sports.” It is not necessary to take his class to see his love for sports. Sitting in his office, athletic memorabilia is visible on almost every wall, shelf and table. A football rests behind his computer, ISU and Ohio State University banners cover his shelves and tables and he even has a faded Reggie Redbird on his forearm. His dedication to the field led to him writing “A Sociological Perspective of Sport.” In the introduction, Leonard writes, “The final beauty of writing this text resides in the fact that one of my lifelong
Wib Leonard has been teaching sociology at ISU since 1970 and does not plan on retiring soon. loves, interests, passions and activities — sports — can be fashioned into a professional contribution.” During his 46 years at ISU, he has received numerous awards of distinction, including College Outstanding Teacher. Internationally, he is known as a past president of the North American Society for the Sociology of Sport. He has also been a Faculty Representative to the Department of Intercollegiate Athletics. With an impressive career under his belt, Leonard does not know when retirement will come. For now, he said, he will take it year by year.

“Some of my fellow graduate students were married and I would ask them, ‘How do you know when you’ve met the person that’s right for you?’ They said, ‘You’ll know,’” Leonard said. “Same way with when I’ll retire; I’ll know. I’ll know when that day comes.” Ema Sasic is a senior reporter for The Vidette and can be reached at vidette_esasic@ilstu.edu. Follow her on Twitter at @ema_sasic.
Festival of India celebrates diversity, culture AUDREY ANFIELD News Reporter
Illinois State University welcomed Festival of India to the Quad Sunday for the fifth year in a row to celebrate and teach the diversity of the Indian culture. The McLean County India Association and ISU partnered together to host this annual event from noon to 6 p.m. Festival of India has been celebrated for seven consecutive years, but has only been celebrated on the ISU quad for five years. Indian culture and tradition is showcased all day through a variety events including a parade of Indian states, yoga demonstrations, meditation, traditional folk dancing, Indian clothing, henna and face painting, Indian jewelry as well as other fun events for kids. “This festival will bring more awareness to what the Indian culture and tradition is,” President of MCIA Uma Kallakuri said. “It will give an understanding globally
because people are traveling more; people are migrating to different countries.” There were several vendors selling Indian clothing, jewelry, books and food. There were also tables teaching the public about Indian culture and tradition. The Mayor of Bloomington Tari Renner and the Dean of the College of Fine Arts Jane Miller were in attendance for the lighting of the lamp. “We have cultures with similar ideas sometimes and how different they are at the same time of how similar they are. There is a lot of diversity and a lot of unity,” Kallakuri said. Established in 1979, the MCIA promotes Indian culture, values and tradition to the community as well as its members. “The Indian association is a local group of Indians that meet to provide support for the Indian

ISU to combat hate, bias
Normal’s 150th anniversary
BRENT BADER News Reporter
Illinois State University has formed the Inclusive Community Response Team (ICRT) to better educate students about hate and bias and help with those specific incidents on campus. “We haven’t experienced a lot of hate crimes,” Aaron Woodruff, ISU chief of police, said. “A lot of events occur that don’t reach the criminal level but still impact the campus climate and culture. The purpose of this committee is to address those issues that could further impact the campus community down the road if they’re not addressed.” ICRT will be supporting students facing bias-related incidents and will closely monitor campus trends that may affect the overall campus climate. Any student can report biasrelated incidents on the ICRT website or via email at ICRT@ilstu. edu. “This stuff comes from our society,” Art Munin, dean of students and head of ICRT, said. “Now we
have created a centralized place to combat it.” The committee includes individuals from 10 organizations such as Student Counseling Services, University Housing Services, ISU Police Department and the Student Government Association. When selecting individuals for the committee, Munin looked at who was usually involved in these discussions in the past. “If it came up before we’d still all respond but now we’re more organized,” Munin said. “ISU is a huge organization and now we have everyone working together, talking regularly and working in a concerted fashion.” Bias incidents can occur in many different ways, taking both spoken and physical forms. They can also be threats or actions performed through electronic means, such as email and social media. “In this day and age where social media is prevalent everywhere, it doesn’t take but one person’s negative comments to then spread quickly and start causing further issues for the campus community,” Woodruff said. see BIAS page 8

Increasing enrollment suggests bright future for ISU
O
n Sept. 3, it was reported that Illinois State University has a record-breaking freshman class for the second year in a row. This year, 3,632 first-year students enrolled, an increase of 85 students from last semester. ISU can expect to see more students coming in each year after last month’s full reaccreditation. ISU passing the Higher Learning Commission’s review with flying colors ensures that the school will remain a top candidate for students and their parents. Although many students are experiencing congestion on the Quad and in dorms, large enrollment numbers mean that many good opportunities will be provided for ISU students in the future. One of the positive aspects of having more students than last year is that more profit can be collected each semester. Additionally, tuition and housing rates increased slightly this year, which means that overall there is more money to be received. This in turn means that ISU will be able to spend more money on different redevelopment projects, departments and programs
in order to provide quality education for all 20,788 students. One major project that was announced over the summer was the Bone Student Center renovation. Although there have been no increased fees billed to students to help pay for this project, it is a sign that ISU wants to accommodate the ever-growing population. There will be more dining options available for students, and the whole building will seem
more inviting. Students will be able to take greater advantage of the student center, and there will be something for every student to enjoy. Another project still in the works is for the former South Campus dorms to be demolished and replaced with a future Mennonite College of Nursing facility. The Hamilton-Whitten and Atkin-Colby halls were no longer holding up to certain standards
to house students, so it was determined that providing nursing students with better equipment and facilities was the best way to accommodate the growing college. When this project goes underway, nursing students will be able to enjoy newer classrooms and laboratories that will further enhance their education at ISU. One of the main concerns when it comes to a growing number of students is how ISU will place all

freshmen in on-campus dorms. There has been some talk about adding more dorm buildings to campus, and though nothing has been confirmed, ISU will definitely find a way to accomodate for these growing classes. This means students do not have to be placed in cramped housing situations or temporary lounges. With more dorm buildings, students will feel more comfortable, and may not notice the large student body as they spread out. In addition to renovations and possible projects, a growing student population will result in new programs added to ISU’s already vast curriculum. Students will be able to explore their fields in new ways and take advantage of new experiences and resources that will benefit them once they graduate. While many students might fret about longer lines and little space available on the Quad during the day, a growing enrollment rate will benefit all students at ISU. Regardless of when projects will begin, this is an exciting time of change and future students should look forward to coming to ISU.

Colbert maintains style on Late Show MY VIEW NATHAN PENN Columnist
S
tephen Colbert made his debut with the Late Show last week after nine years on the Colbert Report. Playing the role of a conservative pundit, Colbert became a great satirical voice for a generation of young people. Now, moving to CBS and replacing David Letterman as the new host of the Late Show, audiences question whether Colbert will be able to carry over his wit and political commentary. As the host of the Colbert Report, Colbert became a leading critic of conservative politics as
well as a beloved satirical character with an audience of largely young viewers. As he transfers to network late night, which has an average viewing age in the mid to late fifties, we’ll see if Colbert will maintain his style, or fall into the average late night routine. Even with younger hosts like Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon, the late night formula remains the same and feels stale to most young people. Anticipation surrounds what Colbert will substitute for his ironic political expression. In the first few episodes, Colbert did not leave much of a void to fill. At least a few of his monologues were about politics, and Jeb Bush and Joe Biden were guests. Colbert even started a signature running election joke with “undecided 2016.” This early in the show, it’s hard to tell if Colbert is sticking to his guns, or
making it clear that politics is going to be a central theme on the Late Show. In his interview with Bush, Colbert showed that his new persona isn’t going to be that of a submissive late night host either. He pressured Bush with critical questions and Colbert told him in all seriousness that he wouldn’t vote for him. His interview style is as provocative as ever. It’s completely expected that his new role won’t be as politically focused, but his first week showed that he is aimed at being the political voice of network late night talk shows. Another leading question of Colbert’s switch to the Late Show was if he could keep his wit and satirical bite while shedding his Colbert Show persona. Colbert’s solution in the first few episodes was to keep many aspects of his old character. His self-obsession is a theme that definitely car-
REDBIRD RUMBLE or FUMBLE
Compiled by The Vidette Editorial Board
Redbird Rumble: To ISU being ranked the 79th best public university in the na-

ried over to the Late Show. As Colbert said in the Bush interview: “I used to play a narcissistic conservative pundit — now I’m just a narcissist.” Viewers will find that the real Colbert persona isn’t that different from the role he played on the Colbert Report; he’s just stopped pretending to be a conservative. Without the old Colbert persona, he finally has the chance to speak his real political views on the Late Show. He is undeniably the most politically competent host in late night, and holds the ability to speak on issues with insight and experience that most hosts lack. In Colbert’s interview with Biden, he gave sincere support for Biden in his possible presidential candidacy and real gratitude for his service as vice president. Although we might have lost Colbert as a character,
he now has the chance to express his real views and opinions, which are just as interesting. For fans of the Colbert Report, we have to accept that the old Colbert persona is gone for good, along with the best of his tongue-in-cheek satire. But that doesn’t mean that the genuine Stephen Colbert isn’t maintaining his political insight and witty interview style that made us love him. Colbert’s first week in his new role as the host of the Late Show has given us a taste of what we can look forward to enjoying for years.

Text a librarian
The Student Fitness Center is definitely a place for students to check out, since almost everything inside is covered by tuition fees. The SFC offers a lot more than just workout equipment and the track.

Though many activities inside are free, there are further options available to students at a reduced cost like personal trainers and advanced fitness classes.The SFC offers flexible hours.
Have you ever been sitting at home trying to figure out how to properly cite a source you used for your research paper? Or have you ever had trouble finding sources for a research paper? Luckily for students the librarians at Milner offer an “Ask a Librarian” option. This allows students to email or text a librarian on duty at Milner who is more than happy to help answer student questions. Librarians check the computer frequently and will lead students in the right direction to help them however they can.

Smoking is now banned on the Quad and other parts of campus. To quit, enlist Student Health Services to help find the motivation.
ISU wants to help you quit smoking BRENT BADER Features Reporter
The collective student body of Illinois State University took in a breath of fresh air when the campus became smoke free July 1, after conforming to a new Illinois law forcing all state supported schools to become smoke free. The transition has not been an easy one for students who are frequent smokers or tobacco users. ISU offers resources to students looking to quit but need additional help. “What a smoke- and tobacco-free policy does is it creates the cleanliest and healthiest environment possible for the most amount of people,” Erin Link, Communication and Marketing Coordinator at the Health Promotion and Wellness Center. “It’s not to pass judgement on those who choose to smoke or use tobacco. It just curbs a behavior that has ramifications for people other than just the users.”
ISU understands many students may need additional help when attempting to quit smoking and offers a variety of locations and resources to help. A majority of these resources are available through the Student Health Services pharmacy, which includes both over the counter and prescription medications. “We carry a variety of nicotine gum and patches you can use in lieu of cigarettes or other nicotine products,” Patrick Moraleda, supervising registered pharmacist at the Student Health Services pharmacy, said. “We carry a number of nicotine patches with different strengths depending on the number of cigarettes smoked a day.” “Quit kits” are also available through Health Promotion and Wellness at ISU, which include a pamphlet on health benefits as well as silly putty and strong mint flavored gum, which has shown to help those with hand and oral fixations. If the usual patches and gum prove
unhelpful in the fight against nicotine addiction, the pharmacy also carries heavier drugs that require a prescription to obtain. Students can set up an appointment with a physician at Student Health Services to talk about medication beyond the usual patches and gum. Student insurance does not cover most smoking cessation products but Moraleda assures that many private insurance plans do cover those products. “This really is the students’ pharmacy. We’re open to answer any questions that students have. All of our resources are theirs to use and we’re here to help in any way we can,” Moraleda said. One strategy counselors go over with students is trying to start a journal to log their process as doing so could reveal triggers for the addiction. “Whether it’s a huge stress in your life or you’re in a situation where you’d usually be smoking it quickly becomes a habit,” Link said.
“Find an incompatible replacement behavior to substitute it. You may have to alter your routine but that will then become your new normal routine.” It’s important to note that any attempt to quit smoking is forward motion in the right direction. It might not be easy at the start, but determination and focus can help immensely. “It’s different for everyone,” Link said. “Some people can go cold turkey and not need anything and some people need everything they have in the arsenal to stop. There’s no right or wrong way to do it. Sometimes it will take multiple times for someone to quit for good, and that’s okay.” For Redbirds looking to kick the habit, Link says to continue trying and taking every small step possible. “Anything working towards the goal of being tobacco free is going to better your health.”
Renovated Food Science Lab now open JAY IBARRA Features Reporter
The final renovations have been made and the Food Science Lab is now open for use. This was a yearlong project estimating at more than $750,000, funded by an allocation from the University’s Board of Trustees and from the College of Applied Science and Technology. This Food Science Lab is in Turner Hall on the Illinois State University campus. “For about fifty years, the Food Science Lab has looked the same as when the space was initially designed it was designed for homemakers, but now we are preparing people to work in commercial settings,” Dr. Ani Yazedjian, Family and Consumer Sciences department chair, said. This space really gives a good forefront for the new Food and Nutrition Management majors who need the hands-on experience of the food industry, but still in a classroom speed and setting.
Food and Nutrition Management is a new sequence option that just opened up last fall for students and now with the new renovations, they are equipped with all of the right tools to see the sequence grow. “We have this new option now called Food and Nutrition Management and that’s really preparing people for to work in the hospitality industry, so working in the business side of food. This new facility is good for both of them, but particularly the Food and Nutrition Management student,” Yazedjian said. “Our Food and Nutrition Management option is relatively new, it just started last fall. We hope to incorporate additional classes that we could see using the foods labs for. There’s definitely a lot of opportunity for continuing to grow that option. Right now since it is relatively new, we don’t have a lot of students in it yet but as the option grows there would be a need for more specific options of classes in that area.”
Casting aside the great opportunities this foods lab brings students, it has true advancement that sets this program apart from any other. “One of the other really neat aspects of the space is the use of audiovisual technology,” Yazedjian said. “There are cameras throughout the room. So in the past when students worked, if one particular group had done something, everybody had to go over to that group and look at it. But this way, we can use the cameras to zero in on the different work stations and then show it on the screen, record it, it can be used for online classes and hybrid classes as well,” Yazedjian said. These cameras are a great tool to showcase hands on learning and a great way to save time instead of running around to each station. With the technology we have these days, it makes it so simple to just upload things to the Internet, all of the instructors work from one class can be on
the web in an instant. This was imperative to have in the new foods lab’s renovations. “I don’t know how many other universities are doing this, I was at another university before I came here and they renovated their foods lab but they didn’t do anything like this. I think that we’re probably pretty cutting edge incorporating that level of sophistication in terms of A.V.,” Yazedjian said. Not only will students get to utilize this new space, but many Redbirds on campus are already reaching out in excitement about the new foods lab. There are already many organizations on campus asking how they can request the space. This project is finally complete and ready for many to use. “The other thing that we really hope to do with that space is collaborate with other University units and the community,” Yazedjian said. “We already have some discussions going on with Students Af-
fairs with bringing in a chef who would demonstrate in the Foods Science Lab and students could participate,” Yazedjian said. But ISU students are not the only ones who get to use the equipment. “We are opening it up in a couple of weeks to a community group, McClean County Family and Consumer Science Professionals, so they will be in there and we also hope to develop some collaborations with Campus Dining and they are interested in using the space for training for their own chefs because they don’t really have space like that for their own training,” Yazedjian said. “We think it’s going to be a very neat place that is helpful and transformative for both our students, but also all units across campus, the community and our alumni.” If you’re interested in checking it out, head over to Turner Hall to get a glimpse of the new Food Science Lab.

ISU welcomes six new Greek organizations AUDREY ANFIELD News Reporter
Illinois State University’s Greek life is welcoming six new fraternities and sororities this year. The newest additions to campus Greek life will include Alpha Omicron Pi, Phi Gamma Delta, Sigma Gamma Rho, Omega Phi Beta, Sigma Nu and Beta Chi Theta. Greek life provides students at ISU social opportunities, philanthropic projects, community service, tradition and career networking. Phi Gamma Delta is a sorority coming this fall that has never been on campus before. Sigma Gamma Rho, a NPHC historically African American sorority, will return to campus. Sigma Nu, a fraternity, returns in spring 2016. Alpha Omicron Pi is a Panhellenic sorority that has never been here before. Multi-cultural organizations such as fraternity Beta Chi Theta and sorority Omega Phi Beta are coming to campus as well. These fraternities and sororities were selected by the governing council after they had been presented to campus last year and were approved by a majority vote. “Fraternities and sororities provide a home away
from home atmosphere. More students are likely to stay in school because of better connection,” Coordinator of Fraternity and Sorority Life Alex Snowden said. None of them will be housed on campus in the fall or spring semester, Snowden said. The fraternities and sororities at ISU have an average GPA above the total average undergraduate GPA. Snowden said the network they will gain by having a global network of members through different chapters is a benefit. Fraternities and sororities last year raised $125,000 in charity and over 40,000 hours of community service. “Greek life will be great, if not the best decision anyone can make during their time at ISU,” Alpha Sigma Phi President Jonah Samp said. “Not only will they build friendships that last a lifetime, but they’ll have the opportunity to be someone you want to be and have fun doing it. Whether you are involved in the community service part of Greek life or the social part, the opportunities are great.” Audrey Anfield is a news reporter for The Vidette and can be reached at vidette_amanfie@ilstu.edu.

“It’s one thing to read a post of what is happening in Egypt, and truly another to see the former vice president of Egypt talk about it,” Assistant Director of Media Relations Rachel Hatch said. And that is exactly the opportunity Illinois State University hopes to offer to its students with the annual Fall Speaker Series that will begin at 7 p.m. Sept. 22 in the Prairie Room of the Bone Student Center. The Fall Speakers Series offers students the chance to see “firsthand the experiences of people who are changing the world,” Hatch said. Throughout the fall, ISU will be having an assortment of interesting and inspiring speakers visiting campus to discuss various issues in today’s society. This year’s speakers range from authors of books to activists who hope to shed light on their topic and bring awareness to the ISU community. The series will launch with Laura Gray-Rosendale, author of the book “College Girl.” The book discusses sexual assault as GrayRosendale narrates the tale of her brutal rape at Syracuse University over 25 years ago. Gray-Rosendale will be speaking on the topic of sexual assault on college campuses and discussing trauma theory. The series offers students the

“Our hope is that at least if we can address some of those minor things that come up, whether through social media or other means, we then don’t have any further issues down the line where it becomes criminal in nature.” Students themselves are encouraged to speak out when they see bias-related incidents and to use education as more than just a key to courses. “We can all continue growing and developing,” Munin said. “The key to diversity is to educate yourself. You can do this by seeing perspectives
chance to hear a variety of speakers bring various topics to life. The series currently has seven speakers lined up throughout the semester, ending with Pedro Noguera discussing equality in schools on Nov. 17. Other speakers include TIME’s Person of the Year, Ella Stryker, and her thoughts on how to fight Ebola and how people can continue to combat the disease in Africa. Another speaker is Nobel Peace Prize-winner and former Vice President of Egypt Mohamed ElBaradei. He will be discussing prevention of a nuclear nightmare and his belief for worldwide nuclear disarmament. “We hope to inspire students to discuss issues that impact our nation and our world,” Hatch said. By hearing talks on topics such as the Ebola crisis in Africa and sexual assault on college campuses, students are able to not only become more educated on the topic, but also learn how to get involved in societal issues that may spark an interest. The Speaker Series began with ISU’s 150th anniversary and has continued to be an annual event due to its popularity with students.

Struggles of being a woman in college REBECCA DAVIS Features Reporter
There are a lot of things to worry about as a college student. Classes, due dates, tests, schedules, work, internships and social activities are all things collegiates are thinking about during the school year. But something that seems to slip the minds of many is the gender inequality that can happen on campus, something occurring at schools around the country without anyone ever realizing it. So what’s it really like to be a woman on a college campus? There are some big changes between genders that some may have never noticed in the past. The most commonly discussed difference between men and women on a college campus is safety. Statistics show that one out of five college students will experience rape or sexual assault while they are in school, and the chances of that one in five being a woman is very high, and it is estimated by the National Sexual Resource Center that 20 to 25
AWHCARE.COM
percent of women on a college campus have faced sexual assault. “I definitely think women on campus have a higher chance of being assaulted than men,” Women’s and Gender Studies Program Undergraduate Assistant Bailey Schmid said. Some women may have never experienced sexual assault or violence on campus, but are still aware of its affects on others. “I can’t speak for all women, but my personal experience on campus has been fortunate, but I cannot walk alone at night on my campus without fear,” Women’s and Gender Studies Program Graduate Assistant Jamie Pitts said. Another problem that may arise for women pursuing a higher education is the possible unequal treatment in their majors or work environments due to their gender. In some cases, women on campus have to work harder to achieve the same level of respect as a man who is doing the same thing as them. “I’m here for an education which a lot of people don’t seem to understand that trying to
2111 EAST OAKLAND SUITE B BLOOMINGTON, IL 61701
FIND US ON THE VIDETTE APP
achieve the same level of academic status as men is hard when you’re a woman and even harder when you’re a woman of color,” Schmid said. Becoming involved in programs that support and advocate gender equality makes it easier to combat and recognize sexism at school. RSOs such as F.L.A.M.E., or Feminist Led Activist Movement to Empower, are open to individuals seeking to educate students about gender equality. “I’ve experienced setbacks, but the environments I’ve chosen within WGS, FLAME and Greek life have been nothing but empowering. I say I have been fortunate because I became involved with these organizations early in my academic career,” Pitts said. The first step to beating the gender inequality present on college campuses is to learn about social injustices and find ways to combat them. Educating yourself and others is a sure fire way to recognize the struggles of being a woman on campus.

Men’s XC takes championship, women’s places second JOE RODEWALD Sports Reporter
The Illinois State University men’s cross country team took home the Country Financial ISU Invitational title, edging out Iowa 80-79, while the ISU women placed second at the invite Friday at Weibring Golf Club. ISU Director of Track and Field/ Cross Country Jeff Bovee was pleased with his team’s effort on the course. “I was very proud of everyone today, everyone competed hard,” Bovee said. Bovee was especially proud of the women, as he thought they competed well despite looking a little sluggish throughout the meet. “I thought they looked a little tired to me, but that falls on me,” Bovee said. “We came in hitting it a little too hard in practice this week. With that being said I was really proud of the way the girls competed today.” Despite energy levels being low for the women, the results still show success. “I think it was an average day for us, but we still beat two Big Ten schools. We fell to Loyola, but hats off to them, they ran a heck of a race. […] We have a lot of room
to grow and get better as a team. In cross-country, they don’t keep a regular season record. We’re in a really good place for the postseason, I’m excited.” The women were lead by Kelly McShea and Haley Goers, who finished sixth and ninth, respectively. Rounding out the top five for the ’Birds were Erica Brown, Ashley England, Haley Verbeke with Ariel Michalek, Megan Krolak and Kimberly Sanden right on Verbeke’s heels. The depth the Redbird women bring to the course is phenomenal, as the Redbirds’ seventh runner beat many opponents’ fourth runners. The ISU men were also impressive Friday night, as senior Tyler Morse notched his first collegiate win with a time of 24:38. The team took home its first championship in years. “This is our first team championship in a long time, perhaps since we started hosting meets here in 2007. It’s been a while. [The men] had some snap in them today, that’s probably why they came out on top, I’m really proud of them. It was a close battle up front with Iowa. To beat them back-to-back weeks, I’m thrilled. Iowa beat us by quite a bit last year, it really shows how hard the guys have worked and how far

He’s come a long way in his development and that’s a great sign for him.” The efforts from second man and seventh overall finisher Jeff Bajema were crucial to the Redbirds’

success Friday. The ISU program will try to build on the results from Friday’s meet and look for more success on both sides. “Fantastic stuff from both sides today; it’s a great stepping stone for our program.” Next up for both the men and

Volleyball raises banner, wins Redbird Classic, 3-0 JASON KLAER Senior Staff
For the second consecutive weekend, Illinois State University earned a record of 3-0 and finished first overall in a round-robin tournament. The ’Birds hosted the Country Financial Redbird Classic, taking the title and bringing their current win streak to seven matches. The 2014 MVC Championship banner was raised before ISU’s match against IUPUI Friday night. “It was emotional for me because it brought back a lot of memories,” senior Ashley Rosch said. “Seeing
The Vidette The_Vidette
the banner go up kind of re-fires you and makes you want to go out and do it again.” Jaelyn Keene is ready for the rest of the 2015 season, but reflecting on past success for a short moment was well worth it for her. “Obviously we are focused on this season,” Keene said. “It was great to have that tonight because it had us motivated to play tough.” In their first match, the Redbirds took care of Youngstown State in three sets with scores of 25-16, 25-16 and 25-20. Keene led the ’Birds with 12 kills. ISU swept IUPUI, 25-14, 25-21,
and 25-17. Aly Dawson and Courtney Pence each recorded 13 digs. In the tournament finale, ISU went four sets with Toledo. After handily winning the first two sets, Toledo struck back, avoiding a sweep. ISU’s high energy in the fourth set propelled the Redbirds to a 3-0 weekend mark. ISU won by scores of 25-13, 25-19, 18-25 and 25-15. Jacqueline Twing was pleased with the amount of energy the team came out with to begin the final set.

No place like home Redbirds bounce back to demolish Morgan State, 67-14, in front of record crowd in home opener JOSH TOLENTINO Sports Editor
In the first ever sell-out at Hancock Stadium since the 2012 renovations, 13,391 fans witnessed a dominating Illinois State University (1-1, 0-0 MVC) win in a 67-14 rout over Morgan State (0-2, 0-0 MEAC) Saturday evening. Following a 31-14 loss at Iowa last Saturday, the Redbirds showed up rejuvenated, ready to pounce on the Bears in their record-breaking home opener at Hancock. It was the 14th consecutive win at Hancock Stadium for the Redbirds. ISU is a perfect 14-0 at home since the renovations. “It felt amazing to play in front of a big crowd, especially at home,” senior quarterback Tre Roberson said. “To get the energy going early, we used the energy from the fans to get the win tonight.” Roberson had a strong performance, completing 9-of-13 passes for 259 yards and a career-best four

Marshaun Coprich tallied three touchdowns, upping his career total to 39 total TDs, tying the ISU record. touchdowns, but it was All-American senior running back Marshaun Coprich who stole the show. Coprich rushed for 130 yards and three touchdowns on 20 carries. His three rushes to the end-zone broke the school record for career rushing touchdowns while tying the ISU all-time total touchdowns record, upping his career mark to 39 scores. “It means a lot, all the hard work we’ve put in, it’s paying off,” Coprich said. “The success we’ve built up and gained, we’re just going to keep building more.” After not being able to find the end zone the first couple possessions, ISU kicker Sean Slattery booted in a pair of field goals at the 11:36 and 7:00 marks of the first quarter, respectively, to put the Redbirds up on the board early, 6-0. An impressive Redbirds defense forced a Bears three-and-out the
following possession. The ensuing punt attempt snap went over the head of MSU kicker Chris Moller and into the back of the end-zone forcing an ISU safety to increase the Redbirds lead to 8-0 with 5:29 remaining in the first quarter. From then on, it was no looking back for the ’Birds. Following the free kick, Coprich rushed in for his first one-yard TD, putting ISU up 15-0. Roberson then found sophomore wide receiver Christian Gibbs on a 70-yard fly route TD, increasing the ISU lead, 22-0, at the end of the first quarter. “The cornerback kind of sunk in, we were set up in a run formation,” Roberson said. “Gibbs used his legs and burned him. It was a great play by him.” Head coach Brock Spack enjoyed seeing the multi-dimensional of-

fensive attack. “You’ve got to have balance, you can’t be one dimensional,” Spack said. “You’ve got to be a threat both running and throwing the ball. We’ve got more than one guy who can do it.” Morgan State responded with a two-yard rushing TD by Orlando Johnson to put the Bears on the board 22-7 to begin the second quarter. But it didn’t take long for the ISU to respond. Roberson connected with wide receiver Anthony Warrum on a oneplay, 57-yard TD drive, upping the ISU lead to 29-7 at the 14:02 mark of the second quarter. Coprich capped a 12-play, 91-yard drive, breaking loose for a 22-yard touchdown at the 5:17 mark of the second quarter. “I knew the O-line and I were capable of breaking the records,”
Coprich said. “It’s a long season and we have a lot more work to do.” The Redbirds entered halftime with a commanding 36-7 lead, but weren’t finished yet. Coming out of the half, Roberson found Warrum in the corner of the end-zone, zipping him a low bullet pass for a three-yard TD, putting ISU up 43-7. “Coach Spack said ‘just because we had a big lead at half, doesn’t mean we should settle down,’” Roberson said. “We didn’t take our foot off the gas pedal, we came out and kept accelerating.” Minutes later, Coprich rushed in another one-yard TD, padding the ISU lead 50-7. Roberson found Warrum on a 34-yard TD reception at the 8:52 mark of the third quarter. It was the shortest (six seconds) and third one-play scoring drive of the night for ISU. Morgan State went on to score a touchdown later in the third quarter, while Slattery nailed another FG and backup RB George Moreira added his first career TD for ISU for the final score. ISU finished offensively with a whopping 488 yards compared to 256 yards for the Bears. On defense, Alex Donnelly picked up four solo tackles along with a forced fumble. A shadow to Saturday night’s game was defensive end Teddy Corwin. The senior captain was sidelined on crutches with a foot injury. He is listed as week to week. ISU travels to Charleston this weekend to take on Eastern Illinois (0-2, 0-0 OVC), a team the Redbirds have not beaten at O’Brien Stadium in Spack’s tenure. Kickoff against the Panthers is slated for 7 p.m. Saturday.

A moment of silence and ceremony in honor of the seven victims who lost their lives in the Apr. 7 plane crash outside Bloomington-Normal, was held prior to Saturday’s kickoff against Morgan State. Family members of the seven fallen men (Aaron Leetch, Torrey Ward, Scott Bittner, Jason Jones, Andrew Butler, Terry Stralow and Thomas Hileman), gathered at midfield alongside Athletic Director Larry Lyons, football coach Brock Spack and the entire Illinois State University football team.
“It’s been such a trying time for our community,” Spack said. “We knew all those guys. I’m glad we did what we did tonight. To see all those kids tonight along with their families, it was a good opportunity of healing.” A memorial entitled “Redbird Remembrance,” was dedicated and revealed in a private ceremony Friday evening. Redbird Remembrance is located near the north entrance of Redbird Arena. The memorial consists of a plaque describing the memorial, seven columns in a fountain and a back wall with the seven names. Built-in seating and lights allow visitors to stop
by Redbird Remembrance at any time of day. “I’m glad we could do something like this,” Spack said. “All those guys will be sorely missed. Our administration, Larry Lyons and his staff has handled everything impeccably. There’s no playbook for something like this. It was a beautiful evening tonight and we played well. That’s what we could do.” 13, 391 fans packed Hancock Stadium in the first ever sell out since the 2012 renovations. Spack was grateful for the community showing up to support the team as well as the family members. “I loved our crowd,” Spack said.
“The fans showed up early like we asked them to. They were very supportive. I know the families appreciate it, they needed that.” The ceremony highlighted the lives of the seven men with brief descriptions of each of them and their importance to the Redbird community. “We felt that we had a duty to honor these men, support their families and strengthen the Redbird bond,” Lyons said. “The permanency of the memorial is to honor their legacy with dignity and respect.” In addition, ISU student-athletes and coaches will be wearing a patch
on game days dedicated to the seven men. The patch is designed with the initials of the seven men with a Redbird over the number seven. Senior defensive end Alex Donnelly knew Saturday night was more than just football. “It was a great remembrance and atmosphere for the kids and the families,” Donnelly said. “They’re the ones we played for tonight.” Josh Tolentino is a senior journalism major and Sports Editor at The Vidette.
