Supreme Court case sparks local advocacy Local educators, activists and interested residents came together to discuss the case on same-sex marriage Wednesday night AVE RIO Senior Staff

The United States Supreme Court heard arguments on Tuesday in the Obergefell v. Hodges case, which could determine whether same-sex marriage is a constitutional right. The American Civil Liberties Union of Illinois, Central Illinois Chapter (ACLU) and the Prairie Pride Coalition hosted an event Wednesday in the Normal Public Library titled “The Supreme Court’s Marriage Equality Case: Reactions and Predictions.” The speakers included Sara Benson, a lecturer in law at the University of Illinois College of Law, and Ed Yohnka, the director of communications and public policy at the ACLU. Illinois State University Associate Professor of Criminal Justice Sciences, Michael Gizzi, introduced the speakers. Benson, Yohnka and Gizzi all felt fairly confident that the court will rule in favor of same-sex marriage. The first speaker, Benson, spoke of the weight that the term ‘marriage’ has in our society versus a civil union. “How do you explain to a five-yearold child that their parents are not married, but in a civil union?” she said. “It’s hard to explain because it is something made up — it doesn’t have the same significance as marriage.” Benson said she agreed with Justice Sotomayor that we have recognized that there is a fundamental right to marriage — not marriage for black people, white people, people

in same-sex relationships — just marriage. “If we say that there is a fundamental right to marriage, how can we justify excluding an entire group of people from that institution — we can’t,” Benson said. “We are on the precipice of the Supreme Court of the United States declaring that marriage is a right that is open to all Americans,” the second speaker, Ed Yohnka, said. Yohnka also pointed out that 61 percent of Americans currently agree that people in same-sex relationships should have the right to marry. Both speakers agreed that Justice Kennedy would be the swing vote. Yohnka said that he was hopeful Kennedy would vote in favor of samesex marriage because in Tuesday’s discussion, Kennedy said that about 10 years had passed between when the Supreme Court got rid of separate-butequal racial discrimination and the laws banning interracial marriage. “I think we see that [Kennedy] thinks the nurturing time is just about right,” Yohnka said. Thirty-seven states and Washington, D.C., currently recognize same-sex marriage. The current case concerns Ave Rio / Photographer same-sex marriage bans in Ohio, ACLU director of communications Ed Yohnka, U of I law lecturer Sara Benson and ISU associate professor Michael Michigan, Kentucky and Tennessee.

Graduation is an end with endless beginnings

T

he last week of classes is about to conclude; final exams are the only item left on the agenda and graduation finally looms on the horizon for departing Illinois State University students. These next few days will seem like an eternity as we recap every memory we had at ISU over the past four years. Many of these thoughts will be personal, reminiscing about everything from late night study sessions at Milner jacked up on coffee to lifelong friendships made. Not to mention that graduating students have seen three ISU presidents, the decommission of South Side dorms and the construction of Cardinal Court and the Student Fitness Center. The feelings of doom and gloom should not suffocate these final days, but allow us the opportunity to cherish the memories we made and the people we have become along the way. The person who stepped onto ISU’s campus four years ago is not the same person

who will walk at graduation. For better or for worse, the pivotal years of 18 to 22 at ISU have broadened the perspectives of the mind to endless possibilities. Commencements, graduation parties and ceremonies will fill the days, but this time is the beginning of a new phase of our adult lives. Most of us will be leaving

the comforting cocoons entirely from our parents. College was a time where we were allowed to be independent and on our own, but still have the safety net of mom and dad if worse came to worst. Now, the world is our oyster. We have earned the long-sought-after degree. A

great deal of hard work, dedication, blood, sweat and tears went into obtaining the prized diploma. Most of us hope it will allow us to enter the workforce, preferably in our field of choice. Student loans can seem daunting and breaking into the work force is still tough, but do not let this detract from your accomplishments. This is a milestone in life to be seen as an investment. Parents have seen you go through the gamut — from watching you step on the bus to go to the first day of kindergarten to snapping pictures in your cap and gown. The journey is over. We have spent our entire lives — literally — going to class. With this in mind, appreciate the times you have had at ISU and the effort you put in to get to this stage, but look toward the future. Take a cross-country road trip, nail the job interview, move back home to hash a few items out or go back to school to acquire a master’s. All in all, you did it; be proud, and welcome to the real world. Editorial Cartoon by Athena Tapia

GRADUATING SENIORS: WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE PART ABOUT YOUR TIME AT ILLINOIS STATE UNIVERSITY?

Staying involved in the community over the summer what you are going to do within your local community this summer. MY VIEW Roshaunda Coleman Columnist

Whether you are returning home for a few months or staying in town to take summer classes, it’s important that you have a plan for

Many students take the time off during the summer to kick back, relax and enjoy the weather, but summer break is the best time for students to gain experience in their desired fields, do some community service and get to know potential future employers. This season of the year is an essential time to connect with future employers and build relationships in a completely different type of environment. However, the problem remains

that many students do not continue those connections and relationships into the following academic year. Make this summer different. Set a standard for yourself and commit to the standard. College provides a social environment that keeps students’ calendars full, especially when combined with jobs and classes. However, during the summer there does not seem to be as much of an opportunity to gather with people whom they have much in common with. Use this time to build your connections and commit to a year of constant communication with

the keyholders of your future. Students forget that although academics are important, it is just as important, if not more important, to be known. The old saying, “It’s not what you know, it’s who you know” is more true than not. In today’s fast-paced society, getting a job can come down to knowing the right people, having the early experience and having the right credentials. Employers are more inclined to hire a candidate with a little bit of it all than those with just good grades. Take this summer and find as many internships, jobs and volunteer work as would be

There are plenty of exciting ways to discover your community and make the most of your summer.

Volunteer

There are few better ways to spend your free time this summer than getting off the couch and putting your skills to use in your community. There are local opportunities to match any interest, from working with kids or animals to assisting the homeless or protecting the environment. When you tell your future employer about your experience, they will recognize your passion, drive and independence. You will also pick up practical skills to put to use personally or professionally, including working with a variety of people. The Bloomington Parks and Recreation Department is a great place to find volunteer opportunities. Department volunteers work at Miller Park Zoo or the Center for the Performing Arts. Just fill out their volunteer application, available online at bpard. org, with your interests, and the department will match you with an open position.

Chipotle comes to the front door The popular restaurant has begun offering delivery service in 67 major cities across the country in a partnership with the startup company Postmates

Residents of select cities can now enjoy a burrito without leaving their home, thanks to Chipotle’s new partnership with Postmates. The San Francisco-based startup delivers goods locally using a network of over 10,000 independent contractors or couriers. Chipotle’s delivery service is now available in 67 major U.S. cities in Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, Oregon, Texas, Pennsylvania and Washington. For now, Bloomington-Normal residents will need to make the trip to Chipotle themselves. Currently, the nearest Postmates network is in Chicago. Other third party delivery services have delivered Chipotle orders in the past, but the chain has attempted to shut them down. “We weren’t sure whether the quality was going to be sufficient or whether they were following our rules,” Chipotle chief marketing and development officer Mark Crumpacker told The New York Times. Normal Chipotle manager

Ryan Yocum said he regularly sees employees from delivery service Crunchbutton picking up orders from his store. Yocum agreed there is plenty of demand for Chipotle to deliver in Normal, but the service’s success in larger cities will likely determine if Postmates expands its network.

The of f icia l par tnership, announced last week, ensures only Postmates will deliver Chipotle. The chain had already been testing the partnership with Postmates, who delivered $500,000 worth of Chipotle orders in this year’s first quarter, according to Re/Code. Chipotle Chief Financial Officer

Jack Hartung told Nation’s Restaurant News the chain currently sees 6.6 percent sales from online orders. Postmates usually charges a variable delivery rate based on distance, but Chipotle’s deal with the startup caps the delivery fee. Depending on the distance the courier travels, the fee varies from $4.99 to $7.99 per order. The delivery service operates through a mobile app and website (postmates.com). Users enter their address and select the restaurant they want to order from. A customizable list of menu items appears, where users can add items to their cart. At checkout, users either tap or click “Get it Now” to confirm their delivery. Postmates then searches for a nearby courier to head to the restaurant to pick up the order and bring it to the delivery address. Chipotle is just one of many food chains to explore delivery options amid a mobile technology revolution. Taco Bell will begin testing a delivery service this year, following the launch of its mobile ordering app in 2014. “McDelivery” is also a reality at select McDonald’s locations, and Burger King launched its own delivery service, “BK Delivers.”

Water2Thrive aims to end thirst

On The Street

Do you have any end-of-the-year wishes for students?

Compiled by: Nikki Niggemeyer/Staff Writer

“Go out there and make us proud.” Jeffrey Courtright, Public Relations in the School of Communication

“A farewell message for graduating students is, boy you better do something important. You have a great degree. Go make the world better. Social justice should be important to you, so get-erdone; the world needs you. A message for returning students is play hard. I hope your summer is full of adventure and challenges and growth, and come back ready to work hard next fall.”

Water2Thrive holds annual walks to raise money for the African water crisis. They use the money to build wells for drinking water. GIANNA ANNUNZIO Reporter

Obtaining clean water in rural Africa is a grueling task: women and children walk over three miles everyday to collect it, with trips sometimes lasting up to four hours at a time. While spreading awareness of this global water crisis, Illinois State University’s Water2Thrive assists in raising money to construct water wells for those in need. Founded in April 2015, Water2Thrive’s main focus for providing aid lands on their “Water Walks” designed to raise money for the organization. The global “Water to Thrive” organization originated in 2007 in an Austin, Texas bible study group. Upon learning of the clean water struggle in Africa, the team aimed to help by raising money to assist in cleaning Ethiopian wells. Although Water2Thrive will be responsible for organizing future walks, their original curator was former ISU politics professor Andrew Matthews. By beginning Water2Thrive, the group hopes to continue carrying out Matthews’ annual tradition. Although the walks are similar to most fundraising walks, the Water Walk incorporates an unconventional aspect. At these walks, students carry jugs of their own, paralleling the daily walk Africans make to collect usable water. In 2012, for example, Water Walk participants walked two miles with their jugs until reaching a creek behind Parkside Junior High. Tiesha Whitsey, a junior political science major, is the president of Water2Thrive. Although Water Walks are the RSO’s central priority, she says the group may hold other events as the coming semester unfolds. Since the RSO’s establishment occurred less

than one month ago, Whitsey urges students to join the cause in the coming semester. “Since we are recently established I will say [we have] around 10 members and we are recruiting more,” Whitsey said. Though their regular meetings have been scheduled biweekly during the academic year, the group will decide future times next semester. Even without being an official member of Water2Thrive, all students are welcome to participate in aiding the cause. “You don’t have to be involved in this RSO to participate in the Water Walks, but we would love new members,” Whitsey said. Since some of the wells in Africa are built off the group’s fundraising, every dollar raised helps. “Not only do we want people to donate, we want them to be involved with the walk,” Whitsey said. “The walk is just a glimpse of [the distance] Africans walk every day to get water. This walk can change the way you view things.” Thinking about joining Water2Thrive? Keep tabs on their Water Walks by following the group’s Instagram (@water2thrive.isu), Twitter (@Water2Thrive) and Facebook (Water2Thrive ISU). If there are any further questions, students can contact the group by email at water2thrive.isu@ gmail.com.

‘Assassins,’ a chilling performance MARIDSA CHOUTE Staff Writer

A show filled with laughs, tears and dozens of emotions, “Assassins” entertained an audience at Illinois State University four nights in a row. “Assassins” is a musical that tells the story of individuals who have or have attempted to assassinate U.S. presidents. It takes a very unique approach to their stories. The show began with a musical number where the assassins were given prop guns. Each were initially cautious to take a gun, but they all took them. John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated President Abraham Lincoln, was the last to receive his gun. After assassinating Lincoln, Booth’s story unfolded, portraying him writing in his diary about why he decided to kill the

president. Booth explained that Lincoln ruined the lives of many when the Civil War began, but, of course, Booth’s reasons have personal motives. Perhaps one of the most powerful performances of the show came from junior theatre major Graham Gusloff who played Samuel Byck, the person who hoped to kill President Richard Nixon. Gusloff, clad in a Santa Claus suit, gave a monologue about his reasoning for wanting to kill the president that can only be described as chilling. The intensity and emotion that Gusloff portrayed left the audience silent. Even though the topic of “Assassins” is morbid, it also had a comical approach. Characters Ly nette “Squeak y” Fromme and Sara Jane Moore, both of whom attempted to

assassinate President Gerald Ford, were examples of this. Fromme, played by freshman music student Erika Clark, was the girlfriend of the infamous cult leader, Charles Manson. Moore, played by theatre major Kelsey Kott, kept the audience entertained. Kott’s role as Moore was intriguing because she was a mom who toted around a giant purse with a gun in it. They tried, but failed miserably, to kill President Ford. Another great performance came from a grad student named Colin Lawrence. Lawrence played both the Balladeer and Lee Harvey Oswald. Lawrence’s performance as Oswald, the man who assassinated President John F. Kennedy, was incredible. SEE ASSASSINS PAGE 12

And so thinking about that, regardless of your major, I would encourage you to think about giving back; not only to ISU but giving back to your community and giving back to wherever you go and to teach those that come after you about your skills, your major and about your education itself and about what is really important in life.” Ellis Hurd, School of Teaching and Learning

Last minute college bucket list items Compiled by: Mollie McDonnell/Senior Staff

Climb the rock wall at the Rec

For four years, you have been eyeing this wall with fear. It goes up three full floors and even though you are afraid of heights, it has always piqued your interest. This makes it a great choice to add to your last minute bucket list. It gets you out of your comfort zone without going too far. Take a break from studying for finals and climb the rock wall. It is a great workout and it is another activity to cross off the bucket list! You can kill two birds with one stone.

Hit up the last Pub Wednesday Even if you have attended every other Pub Wednesday of the semester, this one may be the most important, and you will not want to miss it. This is your last chance to go out on a Wednesday and see those familiar faces you will miss once you graduate. After graduation, it is no longer acceptable to start drinking at 4:00 on Wednesday afternoons. Get it out of your system now and cherish the memories with your fellow Redbirds.

Go to a Redbird ball game Sure, you are aware there is a baseball team at Illinois State University, but are you aware of their record, or who is on the team? The answer to that question: most likely no. This is the perfect time to head out to Duffy Bass field and see the Redbirds live in action. Who does not love a nice sunny day spent watching a baseball game? Grab yourself a coke and a hotdog and bask in this little taste of summer. Take this time to relax and have some fun before you get tossed out into the real world.

Order late night grub

GO TO VIDETTEONLINE. COM TO SEE THE ANSWERS TO THIS PUZZLE.

Unless you are planning on moving to a big city after graduation, odds are that this is the last time you will be able to order a snack to be delivered at all hours of the night. At home, most places are only open until about 9 p.m., which rules out any chance of getting your favorite food delivered after a long night out. Take advantage of this while you can and order some D.P. Dough or Insomnia Cookies for a late night snack. Savor the greasy goodness while you can!

Go on a bar crawl If you have made it through the last four years without going on a house or bar crawl, this is the last opportunity you have to fully live out your college years. After college, people who like to spend their entire days in bars are often referred to as alcoholics. Avoid this label in the future and cross this off the bucket list while you can. If you do not know of any bar crawls going on, grab a few friends and create your own. The best part is the fun shirts you can design.

Continued from page 11

As one of the strongest singers in the show, Lawrence portrayed Oswald’s story about feeling helpless with gusto. Oswald was joined on stage by other assassins including Wilkes Booth, who convinced Oswald to go through with the assassination. This was absolutely the climactic moment in the show. The cast did a wonderful job of keeping the

suspense even though everyone in the crowd knows that Oswald did commit the murder. A crowd favorite was the lighthear ted act where Giuseppe Zangara, played by sophomore Alejandro Raya, attempted to kill President Franklin D. Roosevelt. The ensemble performers sang a song called “How I Saved Roosevelt.” Each member boasted about how they saved the president from near assassination. Overall, “A ssassins” was a

two-hour long musical that was worth the watch. The cast was composed of incredible singers and did wonderfully in each part they portrayed. The costumes were also perfect for each indiv idual character and the designer did a great job. It really helped bring the audience into the moment.

Best ways to spend your summer Travel

ALYSSA GROH Reporter

With the extra money you earn at your summer job, take some time off and treat yourself to a nice vacation. Take a short vacation and go camping nearby with friends or explore a different state. Head up to the Wisconsin Dells, rent out a few rooms with friends and spend the weekend riding waterslides and getting a nice tan. If you are feeling really adventurous, travel to a different country and experience a new culture. You could also go on a mission trip and help those who are less fortunate.

Get a summer job Summer is the perfect time to get a job and make some extra money. Spending three months doing nothing can get a little boring, and a job will keep you busy and maybe help you make some new friends. If possible, make sure to find an internship or job relating to your major. If you don’t need an internship to graduate, getting experience is still a great way to beef up your resume. Serving jobs are also great options because you make quite a bit of your money from tips. Another great job for summer is one where you can work outside and enjoy the summer weather. Being a lifeguard, camp counselor or nanny is always fun.

Danci Cha gymnastics

BY JOSH TOLENTINO SPORTS REPORTER

Major: Community health education with a minor in public health

Hometown: Milwaukee, Wis. What is your favorite pre-game meal?

A salad with yogurt and fruit. Coach Bob loves getting us sandwiches and subs, too, but I love salads.

What are your goals for your senior year?

To lead by example for the rest of the team and for all of us to be more confident in ourselves.

You guys fell to Lindenwood the first time you faced them but beat them the following week. Explain what your team did that week to overcome them and receive a higher score.

We went in knowing what we were up against, so we had a better idea of what we had to do. We were also more comfortable with the equipment since we competed on it before. Archive Photo

All-around junior gymnast, Danci Cha, performs a flip during her routine.

Ultimately, Lindenwood ended up winning conference. Explain what happened at the MIC Championships in Denton, TX.

We hit a mental hurdle when it came to some of our routines, specifically bars. We were pretty consistent and progressively got better throughout the season. We really just need to work on our confidence and be completely unified as a team.

You guys will be losing your captain next season, senior Sami King, who was very consistent on the beam. How will the team be able to overcome this loss?

Sami was one of our strongest gymnasts, and it’s really sad to have her leave us. But, we had a lot of talented freshman this year, and we have a lot of incoming girls who are really strong on beam and will be able to help contribute and lead us to success.

Who do you want to credit for your success?

My parents and coach Elizabeth Hamm. She really pushed me to do well in all aspects in life. She taught and watched over me in the classroom and in the gym. Special thanks to Chris Chueng for helping me with my floor routine this season. Lastly, I also want to thank all my supporters and friends. Without them, it wouldn’t be as fun. Having my friends at meets gives more of a purpose to do well.

What are some specific routines you would like to improve next season?

I want to perfect the tuck full in on my floor routine, a lay out full on the vault routine, a full out double lay on my dismount for bars, and a three series on beam.

Why do you enjoy gymnastics?

It allows me to challenge myself physically and mentally while I perform. All in all, it’s just a lot of fun.

Redbird seniors: Time to fly away Senior athletes give their final thoughts on graduation, their Redbird careers and life after ISU

“I feel accomplished to be graduating with a degree in biochemistry while being a student-athlete. I can still remember my first day on campus as it comes to a close, and I can’t believe where the time went.”

“I am super excited to start my career and move back home to Canada. It has been a huge learning experience for me, and I am looking forward to using it in my new job, which is in Toronto where I will be a swing, fitness, and nutrition coach.”

Scott Cameron has been chosen to become Illinois State University’s head swimming coach, ISU Director of Athletics Larry Lyons announced Tuesday. Cameron will take over for long-time coach Steve Paska. Paska announced his retirement in Decemeber, and it will take effect July 31. “I am absolutely thrilled to become part of the staff at Illinois State,” Cameron said. “I’m excited to hit the ground running and continue to build upon the success that Steve Paska has built over the past 30 years.” Prior to Illinois State, Cameron served as an assistant women’s swimming coach at the University of Idaho since 2012. Before that, Cameron held many positions, including assisting the men’s and women’s teams at the University of Michigan betwen 2008 and 2012. “We are very excited to have Scott join the Redbird family and take over leadership of our swimming and diving program,” Lyons said. “We feel that he is an excellent fi for the wellestablished culture of the program. We believe that his passion for the sport and desire to grow the program will be very positive for the young women moving forward.” During his time at Idaho, Cameron fulfilled his duties as assistant coach by recruiting for the team and coordinating the academics of the program. He planned travel for the team as well as delevoped a video program to evaluate the performance of the team members. Under Cameron’s assistance, Idaho improved its conference standing significantly, finishing as high as second in the Western Athletic Conference [WAC] Championships in 2014.

In the classroom, Cameron’s team excelled as well, consistently posting a team gradepoint average above 3.0. Cameron helped the Idaho team set 26 school records and win 12 individual WAC titles. Ten of Cameron’s athletes met the NCAA’s ‘B’ cuts, and one even qualified for the NCAA Swimming and Diving Championships. Before Idaho, Cameron held roles at Michigan including assistant coach, manager of operations, video manager and camp counselor. At Michigan, Cameron helped with training, recruiting, and managed a video program as a volunteer assistant coach during the 201112 season. He handled day-to-day and travel arrangements as the manager of operations the year before, while also managing equipment. At the club level, Cameron has coaching experience with Club Wolverine, based in Ann Arbor, Mich., from 2008 to 2012. With the Wolverine Club, he worked with swimmers of all ages, including Olympic athletes from the United States, China, Trinidad and Tobago, Barbados, Ireland and Serbia. Cameron earned his bachelor’s degree in 2009 from Grand Valley State, where he studied movement science with a coaching concentration. He finished his master’s degree in education in 2014 in Idaho with a focus in adult organizational learning and leadership. “I would like to thank Mark Sowa, head women’s swim and dive coach at the University of Idaho, for helping me to prepare to become a head coach at the Division I level,” Cameron said. “I would also like to thank Larry Lyons and Cindy Harris at Illinois State University for believing in me and giving me this opportunity to become the next head coach of the women’s swimming program.”

The Illinois State University men’s golf team finished up their season on Tuesday, sending Tyler Gentilella to the final round of the Missouri Valley Conference Championships where he tied for 10th place on the individual leaderboard with a team-low score of 68. The Redbird team also broke the top 10, finishing in ninth place.

Gentilella shot five birdies during the third round, including three-straight for a threeround score of 223 (73-82-68). ISU finished with a best single-round score of the tournament with 300 Tuesday at The Club at Porto Cima. The team shot a total score of 929 (314-315-300). ISU golfer Jordan Fahel, along with Gentilella, were named to the all-conference team at the end of the season. Both Fahel and Gentilella finished the season with a top-to-stroke average in the MVC. Since the team was projected to finish in second place, head coach Ray Kralis had hoped for a better outcome for the season. “This was a painful way to end the season,” Kralis said. “Our performance was unacceptable and one that should be a strong motivator for the guys with eligibility remaining. This is certainly not the legacy I want any of us to leave, especially when you consider how strong we have been historically in the MVC. We are the ones that need to own it and return next year ready to do something about it.” Wichita State, the MVC favorite, finished in first place with a total score of 864 (287-286-291) followed by Northern Iowa (298-296-307) and Southern Illinois (309295-307). The Panthers and the Salukis tied for second place at the end of the tournament. The Shockers took the tournament with a 37-stroke win, the largest in the league since 1962. This win marks Wichita State’s eighth -straight MVC title. The Shockers’ eightstraight titles are second only to Oklahoma State’s record of nine-straight MVC titles. The Redbirds will return to action for the 2015-16 season in September.
