Many members of the Bloomington-Normal area participated in the Buddy Walk at Carden Park & Prairieland Elementary School to bring awareness about Down syndrome.
Buddy Walk raises community awareness EMA SASIC Senior Reporter
The 11th annual Central Illinois Down Syndrome Organization’s (CIDSO) Buddy Walk brought together 562 walkers from the Normal community Saturday at Carden Park & Prairieland Elementary School. Co-chair Cheryl Crumrine explained year after year the Buddy Walk tries to educate the public on Down syndrome. “Our major goal here is to raise awareness for Down syndrome,” Crumrine said. “Another perk is that we get to make some money to support community programs.”
The goal each year is to raise $20,000, and prior to the walk CIDSO raised $7,000. Of the proceeds made from the event, 90 percent will stay in the community to support programs like Illinois State University’s Adult Literacy program, the Speech and Language program and the Heartland Academy for Learning Opportunities. As of Sunday night, the organization had raised $12,600, with donations still coming in. Although there were fewer walkers compared to previous years, Crumrine is still hopeful it will reach and possibly exceed its $20,000 goal.
This year, 19 Spirit Teams registered to participate in the one-mile, family-friendly walk to build unity and support. Some included Christy’s Caribbean Cruisers, Quinten’s Quest and Team Isaiah. Passersby saw a sea of colors as each team wore a unique T-shirt to identify themselves. Many ISU students and organizations participated in the Buddy Walk as well. The ISU National Art Education Association set up a table in Prairieland’s gymnasium for children to create tie-dye bandanas. Sophomore special education major Jacqueline Lejeune wanted to participate in the walk since it deals with her future career.
“I am part of the CIDSO organization, and I felt that it would be great to see the community I will be working in,” Lejeune said. Like many past Buddy Walks, volunteer Krysta Christensen said it is great to see so many community members come together to raise awareness for Down syndrome. “It’s been fantastic to see so many volunteers helping out today and having the community support us this year,” Christensen said. After the mile-long walk, attendees filed into Prairieland’s gymnasium to win raffle prizes. Gift baskets, gift cards, stuffed animals and toys were among the many prizes offered.
Normal hosts 12th annual Worldwide Day of Play AVE RIO News Editor
A bike rodeo highlighting bike safety for children was one of many activities at the Uptown Block Party and Worldwide Day of Play Saturday in Uptown Normal. The day included over 40 booths of free activities for kids, live music, and a reduced price of $4 admission to the Children’s Discovery Museum. The bike rodeo took place south of the railroad tracks on Parkinson Street. It included a bounce house, rock climbing with Upper Limits, and a free helmet giveaway provided by the Children’s Hospital of Illinois and Kohl’s Cares. The main part of the bike rodeo was the bike safety lessons. Children were taught the importance of helmets, riding single file on the Constitution Trail, how to tell others when you are passing them and more. Illinois State University freshman therapeutic recreation major Rachel Anderson was at the bike rodeo for a class. She handed out free water bottles to kids before they began their bike safety lesson. “I think it’s really cool to see all the kids getting really excited about learning more about bikes,” Anderson said. Kathleen and Dan Steadman, members of Friends of the Constitution Trail, a local advocacy group, agreed that bike safety is important. “It’s important that kids know how to get safely to and Jenna Kadziulis / Staff Photographer from places and they realize that they can ride their bikes Walker’s Tae Kwon Do was one of many organizations at Uptown Normal’s Worldwide Day of Play Saturday. instead of taking a car,” Kathleen Steadman, newsletter editor for the group, said.

Marlene’s first song was “Hallelujah,” originally by Leonard Cohen and featured in the movie “Shrek.” Past all the vender booths, there were two more street demonstrations on East Beaufort Street. First, Jump 4 Joy Ministry had a group of dancers performing hiphop music. The first performers were only about 3 to 4 years old, followed by middle school and high school aged dancers. After the dancing, a different group of kids took to the street to demonstrate “respect and discipline” with Taekwondo. Members of Walker’s Tae Kwon Do displayed various aspects of traditional Taekwondo and selfdefense. One of the highlights of the show was when a 3-year-old member kicked a board a broke it. “Taekwondo gives a sense of accomplishment,” Master Joe Walker said. “It’s a lot of fun, but it also demands a lot of discipline.” Walker said it took many hours of work to prepare for the show in Uptown.

ISU attempts to combat worldwide prejudice I llinois State University has an ongoing mission to promote and celebrate student, faculty and staff diversity. Stated in the Division of Student Affairs mission statement, ISU’s values are “exemplified in our commitment to ensuring that policies, programs and services are inclusive and reflect the diversity of our community.” In honor of celebrating everyone’s unique cultures and backgrounds, ISU has also taken steps to combat prejudice. In today’s society, it is even more necessary to bring awareness to these issues. Last Wednesday, students had the chance to attend ISU professors Cynthia Edmonds-Cady and Christopher Gjesfjeld’s seminar “Openmindedness/Overcoming Stereotyping and Prejudice.” Throughout the presentation, Cady and Gjesfjeld discussed how people around the world hold inner biases that lead to discrimination and steps that people can take to overcome prejudice by having an open mind. This seminar comes shortly after 14-year-old Ahmed Mohamed was arrested in Irving, Texas, for bringing a clock he made to school. With dreams of becoming
an engineer, he wanted to show his English teacher his creation, but she thought it was a bomb and called the authorities. By the end of the school day, Mohamed was marched out of school in handcuffs and put into juvenile detention. The clock was comprised of a power source, circuit board and digital display. While his engineering teacher complimented him, he advised him not to show
it to others, almost predicting the events that would take place later that day. Many are questioning why Mohamed was arrested for bringing a harmless clock into school. Was it due to his name, his Muslim faith or his ethnicity? Did his teachers believe it was a bomb because of inner prejudices? People on Twitter started showing their support by using #IStandWithAhmed to spread word about the incident.
With incidents like these happening, the seminars ISU holds are coming at the best time to educate people in overcoming prejudices. Over 20,000 students from many backgrounds walk on ISU’s campus each day. It is important to educate all students on different cultures, religions, ethnicities and other subjects so they are more accepting and do not discriminate against people that are different than they are.
Editorial Cartoon by Athena Tapia (@Athena_Tapia)
The prejudice seminar was a good start to bring awareness to the issues that people are facing every day. Other events have been held at ISU to expose new cultures. The Festival of India took place Sept. 13, where students and members of the Normal community got to experience Indian culture and tradition in the community. Additionally, the International Seminar Series has weekly presentations that explore issues and ideas from around the world. These events, and many others held throughout the year, prove ISU is taking several steps to promote acceptance and diversity among the student population. Unfortunately even in 2015, people still have to worry about educating the public on accepting others as many still hold prejudices. However, it is refreshing that these issues are recognized as important problems that plague our society, and that many are discovering ways to combat them. Students should be proud they attend a university that is dedicated to bringing together people from all backgrounds and discussing these issues to the campus and community.

Pope’s visit symbolizes changing Church MY VIEW NATHAN PENN Columnist
P
ope Francis’ visit to the United States last week symbolizes not only a changing Roman Catholic Church, but a changing religious culture in the United States. In a nation where religion has always been a significant cultural value, the Pope’s visit comes during a time when a growing number of Americans claim no religion at all. Despite his popularity, Pope Francis will have to work hard to make the Catholic Church appear welcoming, and in
step with modern values. The U.S. still remains home to more Christians than any other nation in the world. What it means to be Christian is changing for many people. Christians, along with the majority of Americans, are embracing a more tolerant perspective. Gay rights, feminist values and social equality are becoming important ideals Christians now look for in religion. This is why the Catholic Church has fallen short for many religious people today. Failing to modernize, the Church has driven away many progressive thinkers. The Catholic Church’s stance on homosexuality and women’s role in the Church has repelled those who value equality. Concerns over these issues were largely left unaddressed until Pope Francis was appointed
to the papacy in 2013. Since then, Pope Francis has gained popularity for his progressive stances on social justice, his tolerance toward gay Christians and his role in international diplomacy. Despite keeping in line with many traditional Catholic and Christian views on contraception, abortion and euthanasia, the pope’s views are progressive for the papacy. With this brand of Catholicism, the pope has attracted attention for bringing a progressive quality to one of the world’s most powerful leadership positions. The pope’s progressive policies have not been met with enthusiasm by everyone. Many people still hide behind Christianity as a way to acceptably voice intolerance. The pope’s outspoken stance on climate change and social issues have also been controversial among the American
People no longer are looking to religion to tell them what is right and wrong, they are looking to find a welcoming community that focuses on acceptance. Last week’s papal visit solidified the success of Pope Francis’ forward thinking vision for the Catholic Church. As the United States becomes more diverse and tolerant, discriminatory forms of Christianity are seen as unacceptable by a growing number of people. Pope Francis’ efforts to rebrand the Catholic Church are necessary for it to survive in the modern world. Nathan Penn is a junior political science major and a columnist for The Vidette.

religious right, where capitalism has become intertwined with Christianity. But the pope’s message can succeed in America with a younger generation who is more concerned with social justice and tolerance. The progressive tenants of Pope Francis’ message resonate most with young people. Illinois State University, which has over 20 religious organizations, has a diverse and thriving religious culture that already emphasizes a message of acceptance and the importance of social issues. Even as Christianity’s reputation for intolerance and bigotry is driving more Americans away, young people are still finding ways to celebrate their faith while not discriminating against others. This is why Pope Francis’ openminded teachings are meaningful to people around the world.
If Pope Francis came to Illinois, would you try to meet him?

Gov. Bruce Rauner is calling on Democrats to make a move, as Illinois is about to enter the fourth month with no state budget. Rauner has not not met with legislative leaders to discuss the budget since May.
State budget still unsettled NIKKI NIGGEMEYER News Reporter
The Illinois state government is about to enter into its fourth month without a budget and Gov. Bruce Rauner is calling on Democrats to make a move. “He is calling on majority Democrats to support his legislative agenda or ‘immediately’ pass their own balance budget,” Gov. Rauner said in a press release. According to a memo to legislators, Republicans said it would be the first time they have gone four months without a budget. The Republican governor and the Democratic-dominated legislation have different ideas on what to do with the 2016 fiscal year budget. While the Illinois government struggles with settling on a budget, the state is unable to pay bills. Schools will remain open and programs will remain running. However with a lack of a clear budget, many social service agencies will be seeing some major
effects in the next month. As the state continues to disagree, state workers and their families suffer. Public Safety Inspector at the Department of Labor Bill Szerletich said the Governor’s office has informed the state workers that their dental and health insurance claims will not be paid until the budget is passed. “In the meantime, I must find a way to pay for medical and dental upfront […] and possibly cause us to make a decision for food or medication,” Szerletich said. The governor and the legislative leaders have not met for a meeting to discuss the budget since May, before the budget needed to be passed Szerletich said. The state has been without a budget since July 1. Capital Development Fiscal Executive Steven Heaberlin works construction for state and public school buildings such as ISU’s. “When there isn’t a budget we don’t have money for construction and we have to shut down 90 percent of our projects.” Heaberlin said. However, many state programs
have been able to pay their workers, but will begin seeing the major negative effects of the lack of state budget in the next upcoming months. As the state continues to run with no budget, state programs and services reserve funds are depleting. Typical services paid for by the government are required for state workers to do their job. Examples such as gas reimbursements and rental car services are having to be paid for out of pocket by state workers. “The impasse has put this same strain on all state workers and the morale has decreased tremendously,” Szerletich said. “This merry-go-round has got to stop,” spokeswoman for Senate President John Cullerton Rikeesha Phelon said. Not only will state workers suffer due to the budget, programs that support vulnerable citizens that need help in Illinois will also suffer including young children and elderly citizens. Currently there is no planned date for legislatures and the governor to meet to discuss the budget.
Illinois State University is hosting Ron Mallon for a Philosophy Colloquium 4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 9 in Stevenson Hall, Room 401A. Mallon is a philosophy professor from Washington University in St. Louis. He was invited by the ISU Department of Philosophy to share his ideas with ISU students regarding his theories. The colloquium will touch on many of his different theories and ideas. He will be discussing and elaborating on minimal identities, social intuitionism and the robustness of social kinds with students from the philosophy department. “The talk is about cognitive representations or mental representations of human groups like races and about how different views about the way those mental representations connect with how our behavior works,” Mallon said. He will draw on social categories fully and consider recent evidence in contemporary issues that favor the importance of minimal identities. “The work on minimal identities produces behavioral differences among people where they divide in-groups from outgroups merely on the basis of minimal labels,” Mallon said. “So if you just went into a room of students and you just divided the students up into even student numbers and odd student numbers and put them on opposite sides of the room, the students would almost instantly separate by various psychological measures.” “Even though the division is conspicuously arbitrary, it’s kind of an interesting psychological literature,” Mallon said. He also proposes a model of the
relationship between minimal identities and our explicit theories of social kinds and engaging social intuitionism in moral psychology as a model. “There’s this other literature in psychology that suggests that the reason that people interact differently with different groups is because we represent the groups differently, so like we have different beliefs about the group so the reason men and women are treated differently is because we have different ideas about what men and women are like. The reason people take members of different races differently is that we have different representations about what the typical properties of members of different races are like and so on.” Mallon argues that if we assume the model is essentially correct, there are structural considerations for why minimal identities do not offer social interventions for category reform or elimination. “The first theory is that people differently treat people because of these representations and the second theory is that people differently treat people because of the content of their theories about the groups in which they take people to belong,” Mallon said. “So the talk is really about discussing, comparing and contrasting these two approaches to understanding human group race cognition and how they might relate to one another,” Mallon said. “I think it’s interesting to think about how binding some psychology upon the human behavior intersect with contemporary social issues.” Audrey Anfield is a news reporter for The Vidette and can be reached at vidette_amanfie@ilstu. edu.

Is social media use fatal for professional future?
Bret Farrell/Staff Photographer
Are your social media profiles harming or helping your professional future? Clean up your act if you want to be successful in the job search post-graduation. JAY IBARRA Features Reporter
Social media is something that can follow you around forever. Every like, share, repost and photo may have an effect on your future career. It’s a chilling consequence to understand in the moment, but the content you’re mindlessly engaging in can make a lasting impact in the eyes of an audience that may employ you one day. These platforms are tools which we use to spark our networking résumés into full force when we apply for jobs. If you are readily applying for internships, service work or jobs, you should consider your social media accounts the second you submit your resume and application. You may not voluntarily be submitting them, but once they are out for the world to access, you should sift through the
content and think about what you would want your potential employer to see and whether it is a good representation of the company as well as yourself. “The career advisers all have very good stories about how they have seen social media affect a student’s career,” Mike Minton, associate director of Student Relations at the Career Center, said. “For example, one former recruiter told me that she had to make a decision between two students for an intern. She was up late at night trying to finalize her decision, and was upset she would have to tell one of them ‘no.’ So she hopped on Facebook. Both students had previously maintained appropriate accounts, and profile pictures. One of the students changed his profile picture. The picture was of the student dressed as a hot dog, showing the student playing beer
pong. Needless to say she did not offer that student the position.” This shouldn’t be discouragement from having social media pages. A lot of good can come from using different platforms; they show sides of you that you may not have expressed in an interview setting. “Career Center staff has witnessed several positive examples,” Minton said. “We invited an employer to do a LinkedIn presentation for our staff. She did a random search for Illinois State students, and brought up one in particular. He had an amazing LinkedIn profile, so I contacted the student to ask him how his job search was going. He informed me that many employers were contacting him via LinkedIn because of his profile. The student graduated in August and had a full-time
job waiting for him immediately upon graduation,” Minton said. Over the past several years, this generation has adopted the idea that there is an untouchable shield surrounding our accounts, which allows us to post content to social media without any repercussions. It’s a daunting reality that may be partly to blame on pop culture. From Miley Cyrus’ constant topless Instagrams to Wiz Khalifa’s numerous tweets about marijuana, our influencers show online that it’s okay to openly discuss these topics so candidly. Social media feels safe, because everyone is sharing the same videos and posting the same “hotdog playing beer pong” profile pictures. But at the end of the day, you control your social media sites. You have the final say and can manipulate a profile however you want it to showcase you. There’s
so much pressure on society to constantly update your profile picture or post drunken snap stories and Instagram challenges. There will always be a trending topic for you to talk about. You can engage in that topic, but think about your future while you do. “Be cautious and only post what you feel comfortable with your grandmother seeing online. It is way too easy for employers to search the various social media platforms. When they do search, you want them to find positive results,” Minton said. Think before you post. Social media is a game and if you play your cards right, you might just walk away with a job. Act before thinking or your social media posts could have lasting negative effects on your future job search.
ISU professor conducts research on veterans NIKKI NIGGEMEYER Features Reporter
The reintegration of war veterans is often overlooked, yet can be a difficult process for families to endure. Illinois State University Psychology Professor Mark Swerdlik decided to shed some light on the topic. Mark In 2008, Swerdlik Swerdlik received a $55,000 grant from the National Guard Association to conduct research on the reintegration and adjustment of war veterans and their families. Swerdlik and his colleagues have been working on a series of studies. They have already conducted five studies and are
working on a sixth. “Each study contributes something different to our research each time,” Swerdlik said. Completed studies range from topics such as deployment-related stress and resilience of families of National Guard soldiers to parent’s perceptions of the educational needs of children with a deployed parent. The grant was received through the National Guard Association. Swerdlik and his colleagues work hand-in-hand with the National Guard to decide what type of research they should be conducting. “They tell us what kind of topics they would like more information on and we investigate, conduct the research and send them the results and implications of that research,” Swerdlik said. Another study was about counselor characteristics assessments determining
which traits returning National Guard soldiers find most desirable in mental health practitioners. Before this study, Swerdlik and his team thought the number one desired trait would be personal experience with war. To their surprise, they discovered the most desired trait actually included previous client experience with other war veterans and their families. Other desired traits included counselor professionalism and military knowledge. Soldiers wanted a counselor who could help them reintegrate into day-to-day society. The same goal was what inspired Swerdlik to take part in this research. “We wanted to try to contribute to our service members in trying to help them ease their adjustment back from war,” Swerdlik said. “I feel like this is a small way for us to say thank you and help facilitate their
adjustment.” Although the research being conducted is an ongoing series, Swerdlik and his team are beginning to see a trend within their studies. They are discovering that an adjustment needs to be made in the reintegration process of war veterans; the process needs to be personalized to each individual. “Each soldier is different. For example, you can’t classify all war veterans with children in the same category,” Swerdlik said. “Some veterans can be married with children, while others could be single trying to raise their child.” “Each individual soldier is different and therefore the most positive reintegration results would stem from more personalized reintegration programs” Swerdlik said. “I have gotten the chance to work with soldiers and I have been very impressed with their service to our country.”

Put a major emphasis on minors ALYSSA GROH Senior Reporter
During your college years, choosing a major is a prime decision to make, but choosing a minor isn’t often on most students’ minds. Minors can be just as important as majors to help students land their dream jobs. Although not all majors require students to declare a minor, it is an extremely beneficial addition to a resume, Julie Navickas, journalism and public relations majors adviser, explained. “Minors are traditionally a benefit to most students,” Navickas said. “They help you to be more successful, show you have taken an initiative and makes you more marketable and versatile.” Applying for a minor is different for each department at Illinois State University. To find out what is necessary for a minor application, log into your My.Illinois State account, click the Apply to Major/Minor tab under the Academics tab and select the minor of your choice. Follow the directions on the application. Each application is different, as some minors require an essay and some simply just ask you to enter your name, year and GPA,

electives,” Navickas said. The University requires students to have 120 credit hours of university-wide electives, and general education classes will not fill that requirement alone. This is why declaring a minor is a great decision, as you are required to take a certain amount of elective classes to complete the minor, Navickas explained. Nicole Alonzo, junior communication major with a minor in business environment and sustainability, said choosing to declare a minor was one of the best decisions she has made. “My minor helps me understand the business side of my major and gives me more knowledge on the business world which is something I can use at any job I may have,” Alonzo said. Choosing the right minor can help you be a more marketable candidate in your job search postgraduation and can help you learn invaluable skills to add to your degree. When picking a minor, think about what could benefit your education instead of taking the easy way out.

Fall Speaker Series released BRENT BADER Features Reporter
In an effort to bring innovative and enlightening speakers to the Illinois State University campus, ISU is hosting a Fall Speaker Series from Sept. 22 to Nov. 17 that will include Nobel Peace prize-winner Mohamed ElBaradei and TIME’s Person of the Year for 2014, Ella Stryker. “We really like the speaker series as it engages others in cutting edge stuff,” Rachel Hatch, assistant director of media relations at ISU, said. “Attendees will walk away with newfound knowledge of current events.” The series is intended to provide the community with a free and accessible platform, which can encourage discussion, create new ideas and continue the college’s goal of appreciating learning as a lifelong process. This year will include the 50th anniversary of the Adlai E. Stevenson Memorial Lecture, which will feature ElBaradei. “The Stevenson Memorial Lecture started as a memorial for Illinois Governor Adlai Stevenson after he passed away about 50 years ago,” Hatch said. “ISU and Wesleyan University worked together with Bloomington-Normal to find leaders to present at the 50th anniversary of the inception of Adlai E. Stevenson Memorial Lecture.” The talk, titled “Preventing a Nuclear Nightmare,” will take place at 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Center for the Performing Arts at ISU. ElBaradei is the former vice president of Egypt and an advocate for nuclear disarmament. Also a part of the series is Ella Stryker, a former teacher and current health promoter with Doctors Without Borders. The talk, entitled “The Heath Educator’s Role in the Effort to Control Ebola,” will deal with her experiences in combatting the West African Ebola outbreak. The talk will take place at 5 p.m. Wednesday in the Prairie Room of Bone Student Center. When looking for speakers to present at the lecture series, ISU took a close look at finding relevant and interesting speakers. see SPEAKER page 10

A harpist performed at the ISU Planetarium in celebration of the Harvest Moon and total lunar eclipse. She will also perfeorm for Family Weekend under the stars.
Harpist performs beneath eclipse AUDREY ANFIELD News Reporter
Harpist Ann McLaughlin performed Sunday at Illinois State University’s Planetarium in celebration of the Harvest Moon and total lunar eclipse. The concert began between 7 p.m. and 8 p.m., which Planetarium Director and Astronomer Thomas Willmitch said was “in the early stage of the eclipse where really nothing much is happening as far as the eye is concerned.” The plan was to move outside in the good weather and start looking at the eclipse shortly after 8, and begin playing as the moon moved into the dark shadow of the Earth. “Normally the moon rises about fifty minutes later from the next, right now the moon is rising about thirty minutes late and so what that does is it gives you a little bit of extra moonlight and although that’s not significant now, in the past when the farmers were taking in the harvest, it was quite helpful,”
The Vidette The_Vidette
Willmitch said. “It has to do with the moon’s geography with the orbit.” The full moon passed directly through the Earth’s shadow, resulting in a total lunar eclipse. “Basically, the moon rise times are delayed a little bit around the time of the particular full moon,” Willmitch said. The last time there was a total lunar eclipse of a super moon was 30 years ago, and there will not be another one for 18 years. There will be plenty of other eclipses between now and then, but in celebration of this special event, the Planetarium did something different. Instead of the usual star-party where they set up telescopes so those in attendance can watch the moon, they held this concert. There were telescopes after the concert so people could watch the eclipse as well. McLaughlin will also perform at 7:30 p.m. Friday and at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Saturday for Family Weekend. Admission is $4 for adults and $3 for children ages 5-12. Tickets are $2 for ISU
students, seniors and children ages 3-4. “It’ll be her music under the stars and we’ll have a number of special effects taking place as well throughout the concert under the dome,” Willmitch said. McLaughlin is a harpist from the Urbana area. She is currently performing a multimedia project called “Scheherazade”, a solo show integrating classical and new music with theatrical lighting and video projection. McLaughlin is currently a doctoral student at the University of Illinois. The Planetarium is located on the eastern end of Felmley Hall of Science at the intersection of School Street and College Avenue in Normal. For more information, read the Planetarium’s Skyline or call (309) 438-5007. Audrey Anfield is a news reporter for The Vidette and can be reached at Vidette_amanfie@ilstu. edu.

FATHERHOOD Continued from Page 12
The sincerity with which Glass talks about Jayden and the smile that breaks across Newbold’s face when mentioning Kennedy and Jaden, truly show how special fatherhood has become to each of
them. When everything is said and done, it is by far the most important “job” they have. “It’s honestly the best thing that ever happened to me, it changed my life,” Newbold said. “It gives me extra motivation. I love them and I’m out here grinding for them.”

The Redbird volleyball team dropped its first two matches of the MVC season over the weekend.
Volleyball drops first two Valley games JASON KLAER Senior Staff
After not losing a single MVC match last season, the Illinois State University volleyball team begun this conference season with a pair of road losses. Friday night, the ’Birds were taken down by Missouri State, 26-24, 25-15 and 25-19. Ashley Rosch earned 10 kills and 11 digs while Jordan Weatherless recorded a team-high 19 assists and 14 digs. Ali Line, Jaelyn Keene and Aly Dawson contributed six kills each. Head coach Melissa Myers credits the Bears team for its play down the stretch.
“After the first 20 points of the match, we were unproductive on offense,” Myers said. “Missouri State played solid defense and made some great saves, and we also made several unforced errors.” Although ISU kept it close in the third set, cutting the lead down to three, the Bears were able to take the final set to win the match. After this loss, ISU was looking to find its first conference victory against the Shockers. Although it took one more set than the previous night, the ’Birds were defeated by Wichita State in four sets, 27-25, 25-23, 25-23 and 25-22.
Rosch and Dawson had a combined 28 kills, while Lexi Varga contributed 10. Jacqueline Twing recorded 39 assists, and Courtney Pence led ISU with 17 digs. Myers thought the attitude of the team was in the right place although three straight sets were dropped. “This was a competitive match with a great atmosphere,” Myers said. “We did some good things that we can definitely build upon, but ultimately, [WSU’s] offense was too effective tonight.” For the first time in three weeks, the ’Birds will flock back to Redbird Arena to host Drake Friday and Northern Iowa Saturday.
After being ranked in the Top 25 in the American Volleyball Coaches Association Division III weekly poll, the Titans traveled to St. Louis to face Washington University. The Titans were defeated in three sets, suffering their fourth loss of the season. The Bears won the three sets by an average of 10 points. Rachel Burkman recorded six kills, while Kyleigh Block contributed five. Colleen Rynne led the team with 13 assists and two service aces. Hitting just .023, IWU struggled at the net, committing several unforced errors. The Titans will have the weekend off before heading to Chicago Tuesday to take on North Park University.

La’Darius Newbold (left) and DraShane Glass (right) each balance life as college football players, students and the most important job of all: fatherhood.
The joys of fatherhood
Newbold and Glass tackle parenthood and student-athlete status ZACK CARPENTER Sports Editor
“They say I should be a strong man / but baby, I’m still filled with fear / […] I just wanna be a good dad / Will I be? I have no idea.” The words from hip-hop duo Macklemore and Ryan Lewis’s new hit single “Growing Up” are a powerfully constructed string of lyrics that echo Macklemore’s impending fears of becoming a father. His wife recently gave birth to a baby girl, and Macklemore decided to share his thoughts with the world — thoughts that resonate perfectly with at least two people in Normal. La’Darius Newbold and DraShane Glass are two standout defensive backs for the Illinois State University football team. Both hailing from Texas, they have each done an outstanding job: Newbold in his first season after transferring from Texas Tech and Glass in his second year out of Garland High School. Throw all of their success on the football field for the Redbirds aside for their most important off-
the-field job: fatherhood. Newbold and Glass strive to be the best role models they can be to their young children. Glass, father to 3-year-old Jayden, tries to express that sentiment to his son every day. “I do everything for him and try to have a positive impact and influence on him,” Glass said. “It’s heartwarming [being a father]. Everything that you do is for him.” Newbold was already a father to 1-year-old Kennedy, his daughter, who recently celebrated her birthday last Thursday. Then on Tuesday, Sept. 8, he welcomed a new addition to his home: his son Jaden, born in Texas. So far, Newbold says, taking care of Jaden has not been too stressful. “He sleeps a lot,” Newbold said with a laugh. “He hasn’t been a hassle yet, he just eats and sleeps a lot.” “I’m gonna be there for your first breath / I don’t know if I’ll be there for your first step.” With the children of both fathers living in Texas, having such a long distance between them has
been the most taxing on Newbold and Glass. “Being away from them is the hardest part,” Newbold said. “That was an easy question. Just being away and being unable to be with them physically. Being so far away and being apart from them, missing little things like putting them to bed, things like that are tough. But thank God for iPhones and FaceTime.” “Trying to take care of football and school is hard and being worn out with that, then remembering to call and check on him [is tough],” Glass said. “The distance is the hardest part with him being in Texas.” Fortunately for Glass, he will get the chance to see his son fairly soon. Jayden will be coming to Normal for the Homecoming game against Western Illinois Oct. 24. “Put in so many hours, I just want the outcome / To be something that I can look back and I can be proud of/ Don’t wanna be a dad that’s living in FaceTime / but I’ve got a world to sing to and you at the same time.”
Both players are adamant that everything they do is for their kids. Once you have a son or daughter, all of the focus is on them, and the work you put in every day into everything you do is to be a positive influence for them. For a man, not much else can compare to the fear of impending fatherhood. But at the same time, nothing can compare to the joy it brings. And if you ask either one of these players, all of the terrifying things that accompany being a parent are completely worth it. “It’s a life-changing experience,” Newbold said. “I wouldn’t change it for the world, honestly. When I have a rough day at practice, I just FaceTime my little girl and just seeing her smile makes me smile. I mean it’s great. Honest to God, I can’t even lie, it’s the best feeling in the world.” “Laughing with him, playing with him, watching him smile and just having fun with him is the best part [of being a father],” Glass said. “I know a lot of dads aren’t there [for their kids]. Just being there is important to me to help him grow up.” see FATHERHOOD page 11
Illinois State University soccer opened up MVC play Saturday night, falling to Drake 3-2 in Normal. The Redbirds squandered a 2-0 second-half lead, giving up three goals in 14 minutes. Lauren Koehl and Emily Dickman accounted for ISU’s tallies, while Rebecca Rodgers and Sarah Grace Nicholson scored for the Bulldogs. Throughout most of the game, the ’Birds looked solid. A strong attack coupled with stingy defense had ISU leading 1-0 at halftime and 2-0 early in the second half. Koehl muscled the ball past
Drake goalkeeper Brooke Dennis off an assist from Ali Farkos, and Dickman launched the ball into an empty net thanks to a gorgeous crossing pass from Sara Stankoskey. “I thought we played really well at times,” head coach Eric Golz said. “We created a number of chances and scored a couple of fantastic goals.” The final 20 minutes of the game, however, was all Drake. High pressure from the Bulldogs led to two shots squeaking by ISU goalkeeper Vanessa Niestrom, both coming within three minutes of each other. Shortly after, an ISU pass popped over Niestrom’s head and into the net for a goal, which gave Drake the lead.

Kiley Czerwinski looks for room to score during ISU’s 3-2 loss to Drake. “We had a few lapses on defense that cost us,” Golz said. “We were caught sleeping a couple of times and we paid for it.” The Redbirds outshot Drake 21-6 for the night, including 9-5 in shots-on-goal. “On the whole, I thought we played really well. Take the lapses away and it’s a different game.”
The ’Birds will look to even up its conference record 7 p.m. Wednesday night when they square off with Loyola. The four-time defending MVC champs maintain the same mindset as always when it comes to Valley play. “The expectation is to win the championship.”
