ISU to become smoke-free Illinois governor signs law banning smoking on campus JULIA MORENO Staff Writer
The new law banning tobacco use on campuses passed by Gov. Pat Quinn will go into effect July 1, 2015. The smoking ban passed by Gov. Quinn applies to both indoor and outdoor spaces on college campuses. Quinn also signed a restriction on the use of e-cigarettes. “We want all schools to be healthy, clean and productive places of learning for Illinois’ bright young minds. This new law will improve the health of our students and encourage healthier lifestyles after college graduation,” Quinn said in a prepared release. Illinois State University freshman, laboratory science major and smoker, Hattie Geisler, thinks the ban on tobacco use on campuses is unfair. “If I’m 18, I have the right to smoke,” Geisler said as she sat in front of the Watterson designated smoking area. Geisler said she feels Watterson is her new home and her parents are not here to tell her what to do, so she should be allowed to smoke wherever she wants. Other college campuses within Illinois are already smoke-free
Wellness Gazebo debuting Tuesday LINDSEY CLARK Reporter
College universites will no longer allow tobacco use effective July 1, 2015. including Aurora University, Blessing-Rieman College of Nursing, College of DuPage, McHenry County College, Olivet Nazarene University, Rush University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, University of Illinois at Chicago and several more. But not everyone is opposed to the new law. Sophomore Paul Palloch thinks the ban on tobacco is a
good thing. He said smoking tobacco is bad for a person in general and also if someone does not want to be around the smoke, then the ban is a good thing. Sophomore Austin Howard said people should be able to smoke if they want, but he does agree that smokers should not be able to smoke close to buildings or near non-smokers.

“I live here so I have the right and it isn’t illegal (to smoke),” Howard said. Martyna Bies, junior public relations major, said she is happy about the ban on tobacco use. “Smoking makes me nauseous and it’s disgusting,” she said. Exceptions to the law include smoking inside privately owned vehicles traveling through campus.
Students are invited to come to the Wellness Gazebo on campus from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays throughout the semester. The gazebo will make its debut on Aug. 26 on the Schroeder Hall Plaza. The gazebo will be rotated throughout the week in relation to student traffic on the Quad, Jim Almeda, coordinator of Health Promotion and Wellness said. The gazebo’s schedule can also be found on Health Promotion and Wellness’s website. Sponsored by Health Promotion and Wellness, the gazebo’s main focus is to provide Illinois State University students and staff with information on health and wellness. “We’re trying to get health wellness resources on campus out and about and make it accessible,”Almeda said. The Wellness Gazebo will have brochures to give out including topics such as sleep management, stress and eating well – “things that students struggle with,” Almeda SEE WELLNESS PAGE 3
Marijuana zoning under tight security AVE RIO Staff Writer
Bloomington is planning a stringent approach to the zoning rules and regulations for medical marijuana. The city of Bloomington recently had a second public hearing on proposed zoning changes to address medical marijuana. The first hearing was not advertised enough, Frank Koehler, interim economic development coordinator for Bloomington, said. A public notice was not published for the first hearing, so a second hearing was deemed necessary. The Bloomington Planning Commission recommended allowing a medical marijuana dispensary,
where the marijuana is sold, only in very specific places. City governments can recommend specific zoning rules, as long as they do not interfere with state regulations. Bloomington’s recommendation allows dispensaries in three business categories, three commercial categories and two manufacturing categories. Cultivation centers, where the marijuana is grown, are permitted only in two manufacturing categories. Koehler said the reason the recommendation is so specific is that individuals who want to have dispensaries or cultivation centers must submit applications to the state. The form requires that the desired locations comply with local
zoning regulations. With the specific regulations and precise language, there will be less room for confusion, Koehler said. The state regulations, though, are less specific, he said. According to the state, cultivation centers must be 2,500 feet from any residential building, school or day care. A dispensary must be 1,000 feet from any schools or day cares and cannot be inside of any residential area. “You could say we took the state’s standards and amplified them,” Koehler said. Koehler said that he is aware that other cities are handling the zoning rules differently and taking a more “backseat approach.” SEE MARIJUANA PAGE 3

ISU students and central Illinois fans will have the chance to come on down as the “Price is Right Live” comes to the Peoria Civic Center on November 20. The stage version of the popular daytime television show will be filmed at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 20. The “Price is Right Live” has played to near soldout audiences for almost nine years. It has also given away more than $10 million in cash and prizes and sold more than 1.2 million tickets. Prizes have included appliances, vacations and even

Tickets are on sale at the Peoria Civic Center box office, Ticketmaster outlets and Ticketmaster.com. Prices range from $29.50 to $49.50. To be a contestant in “Price is Right Live,” a registration card must be filled out, which will be on site before the show starts. It is a random draw to be selected but everyone is eligible to participate. “If you enjoy the rush of emotions while watching the show on television, just imagine the possibilities if you were actually in the audience watching it live,” Saidman added. For more information go to thepriceisrightlive.com.
“They thought the state standards were specific enough,” Koehler said. The recommendation did pass and it will go to the Bloomington City Council for a final vote Sept. 8.

A special prosecutor has been requested to look into alleged misconduct in the public defender’s office. McLean County State Attorney Jason Chambers made the request for a special prosecutor. “Due to the unique relationship between our two offices, I felt there would be a conflict of interest, so we decided the safest thing to do was to send the case to a special prosecutor,” Chambers said. The case is suspected to be related to the recent resignation of public defender Kim Campbell, although Chambers could not comment to confirm who the investigation was related to. Campbell resigned very suddenly around Aug. 9, much to the surprise of her staff. She was not present at the meeting when her resignation was announced. In a statement to the Pantagraph, Campbell said, “I have been

With the possibility of ISU and several other public universities in the state becoming smoke-free in the next year, this is especially critical. “[The quit-smoking kits] work to try to get smokers to cut back and quit now, to make it easier,” Almeda said. The Student Wellness Ambassador Team (SWAT) will run the gazebo during the semester, which is trained by ISU student volunteers. “We want to keep students healthy
honored to represent indigent clients in McLean County courts, but it is time for me to move on to new challenges. After 15 years with the county, I would like to take some time to focus on my family and pursue new opportunities.” Campbell had worked in the public defender’s office since 2010, Chambers said. She was the top public defender for McLean County, with an annual salary of $150,000. The public defender’s office handles thousands of cases each year — it has handled about 2,000 cases so far this year, including 619 felonies and 633 misdemeanor cases. Peoria lawyer Jeff Flanagan has taken over as temporary chief public defender in Campbell’s absence. Following Campbell’s resignation, Bloomington attorney Jane Foster also parted ways with the public defender’s office. JESSICA SMITH VIDETTE

Students have busy lives and it can be easy to forget how to care for yourself.” Almeda said there are simple things students can do to ensure they are staying healthy throughout the school year. “Getting enough rest, eating well, keeping energy levels up – students can come to us and we can take all this out to them through [the Wellness Gazebo],” he said.

Ferguson streets quiet, riots’ message clear
A
s the riots are slowly beginning to settle and the streets quiet, there is hope that the message of the protestors in Ferguson, Mo. can finally be heard. Since the beginning of the chaos that has taken ahold of the community, the words “protestors” and “rioters” have been used interchangeably, resulting in a lack of empathy for those who simply desire to peacefully exercise their First Amendment rights. Images of police in riot gear and streets filled with tear gas have done little to support the protestors’ cause. The riots, which have been so sensationalized by news networks across the country, have all but completely drowned out the efforts of the peaceful protestors in Ferguson. Even worse, they have been grouped into the same category, with many viewing the protestors as indistinguishable from the rioters. Yet now, with the violence and looting finally starting to cease, attention can be paid where it should have been all along. The concerns and tension that have built in communities like Ferguson goes far beyond the death of Michael Brown. In fact, his death should never have been the catalyst for the protests, as
such protests were bound to eventually occur. Stereotyping of blacks occurs in communities everywhere in the United States. Such stereotyping can be difficult for whites to understand, as most have never dealt with suspicious gazes or treatment by law enforcement. Such treatment,
combined with a growing “shoot first, ask questions later” policy, has led to the needless deaths and injuries of several black citizens. The aforementioned stereotyping combines with many other problems in communities such as Ferguson. Among the most glaring is the level of income inequality and a wealth
gap that has “nearly tripled” in the past five years, according to an article by Tami Luhby of CNN. The report covered startling figures, including the poverty rates for whites and blacks, which is 9.7 percent and 27.2 percent poverty respectively. Such statistics have been in the center of many protests
in Ferguson. Between the inequality and stereotyping, communities like Ferguson feel alienated from the rest of the country. Simply put, the plights of these people can no longer be unheard. The issues are incredibly complex, especially in the wide variety of emotions they draw from people, thus making such topics difficult to discuss. Yet the concerns and issues that these groups of protestors have brought forth do not deserve to be ignored any longer. Now is the time to once again renew conversations as to how such racial tensions and inequalities can be amended, no matter how difficult such conversations are. “As Americans, we’ve got to use this moment to seek out our shared humanity that’s been laid bare by this moment,” President Obama said, echoing the need for the people of America to come together. The death of Michael Brown was a tragedy and the resulting riots unfortunate. However, Americans must use this time to address the many issues that divide us. Failure to do so would mean wasting yet another opportunity to bridge those many gaps.

ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH THE INTERNET SPEED ON CAMPUS?
ISU’s internet speed may never increase MY VIEW Roshaunda Coleman Columnist
During a visit to Milner Library on Aug. 1 Gov. Pat Quinn held a press conference to announce the completion of a nearly $100 million project to improve broadband Internet access around
the state. Illinois State University played a major role in developing and building the new broadband infrastructure, which installed more than 1,000 new miles of high-speed fiber-optic cable in 55 counties. The project was supported by Quinn’s Illinois Jobs Now! construction program. The project was said to have created almost 700 jobs spreading access to high-speed broadband services for schools, libraries, hospitals and Internet providers throughout Illinois.
As a student at Illinois State University we all have experienced the frustration of slow Internet service, especially during times such as midterms and finals when the Internet is being used by thousands of students at once causing the connection to slow. Ideally, this project should serve some relief to students this upcoming school year. But the question arises, will this $100 million Internet improvement project make a noticeably significant difference in the university’s broadband speed? With ISU having such a large contribution to this project it is expected that the university will be among the schools and libraries that will benefit from this project. Although a brilliant approach to
staying ahead of our ever-evolving technological generation, there is a possibility that the project may fall short of expectations on campus due to the recent increase of incoming and returning students. It is acknowledged that the increase in students alone may not seem like a viable reason for the project to be anything less than expected but according to GlobalNewsWire’s “College Explorer Study” as of June 2013, the average college student owns seven wireless devices including smartphones, tablets, laptops and game consoles. With over 20,000 students, seven wireless devices per student is enough alone to slow down any broadband network and that still does not account for faculty’s
personal and work devices along w ith the several thousand Ethernet cords connecting computers online all over the school’s campus. Taking all of this information into account, the beginning question is posed again. Will this $100 million Internet improvement make a noticeably significant difference in ISU’s broadband speed? The answer to this question is not a simple yes or no. Despite the idea that due to the muchanticipated traffic coming through the broadband network, there may not be a noticeable change in the Internet speed. However without the projects increase in speed, the network may not have been able to continue to sustain its overall usefulness.

Western trends inspire fall fashion KELSEY STIEGMAN Features Editor
Rejoice, fashionistas, fall is coming! Finally, we can all say goodbye to the same old flip flops and shorts combo, and start stretching our fashion wings by layering pieces and trying out new trends. Have you ever seen those kids wearing all black, chains and studs, and sort of admired them for being so daring? Now you can channel the bold goth look, without scaring your mom. Dark f loral prints give this style a chic upgrade. If you’re feeling especially experimental, try a dark purple or black lip with a romantic floral dress and a long, flow-y cardigan. Western style is making its way to the Midwest this fall season. Try out this look by pairing an earthy necklace with a long sleeved crop, distressed overalls and booties. Yes, you read that correctly. Overalls are just one part of the western trend that demands to be worn. If that’s a little outside of your comfort zone, fringe is another way to channel the western trend, whether it’s on a pair of loafers or a suede bag. Chunky silver jewelry is the new thing for bling and goes great with all items western-inspired. On the other side of the accessory spectrum: minimalistic gold jewelry from summer styles will be sticking with us. Small geometric earrings and dainty chains are the perfect accessories to liven-up any basic outfit, without being too over-the-top. For a night out, throw on your favorite strappy black heels, ripped skinnies and a slouchy tee. Layer on simple chains, rings and post earrings for an effortlessly cool look. Plaid is back again, but like the last few seasons, the look is being reinvented. We brought back the tiedaround-the-waist rocker look; and while ’90s inspiration is staying with us this season, plaid can now be used as a menswear-inspired piece, as well. Tuck your favorite flannel top into a pair of boyfriend jeans and throw on a pair of sneakers with some cool aviators. Sportswear is another trend you have to try and is easily mixed with menswear pieces. A slouchy sweater, silky skirt and leopard print Nikes make for the perfect cozy, yet stylish look. Jerseys are another easy way to show off your sporty style, and can be worn with basically anything, from cute heels to metallic sneaker wedges. Sporty looks can be worn with another hot trend for fall: shine. Pair shiny black harem pants with a basic tee or your favorite jersey, sleek sneakers and simple earrings. Throw your hair up in a messy bun and you’ve got a lazy day outfit, with a fashion-y twist. This look is also great for going out: just switch your comfy shoes for a pair of simple leather stilettos and a bold red lip. This season is a great time to play with your style and dress outside the box, whether you’re mixing shine with simplicity, western with plaid, or sporty with dark prints.

How to unload your work load ALEX JENKINS Staff Writer
Keep a day planner
Over scheduling is a common problem many college students face. It is no easy task to juggle being a full time student, a part-time job, your favorite RSO and of course, a social life. Here are the best things to do when you have so much to do.
Like lists, day planners are just as beneficial. If you are daunted by your schoolwork and extra curricular activities, make a weekly schedule. Plan what you are doing each day to remind yourself what is due when and where you need to be at what times. A daily planner can be a life saver, especially if you tend to forget things.
Make a list
Take timeouts
Making lists of all of the things you need to accomplish is a great way to keep yourself organized. Lists can help remind you of your responsibilities and keep you on track. Writing a list is a great way to step back from your overwhelming tasks at hand. Organize it by urgency and after completing each one, check it off the list. It will keep your priorities straight and crossing off your projects will feel rewarding.
Don’t be afraid to take breaks, because you don’t want to wear yourself out. Once you have finished a particularly difficult task, reward yourself with something you enjoy, like a short shopping trip or a much-needed nap. Time is limited, so use it wisely. Taking care of yourself should always be a priority. ISU Alum, Kevin Sullivan, said, “When I was at ISU I always prioritized in order to get everything done efficiently. My suggestion to students is to not bite off more than you can chew and always make some time for yourself to preserve your sanity.”
Get organized Working in a chaotic environment isn’t the best way to get things done. Take the time to organize your desk and backpack, making sure to keep everything in a certain place. You will spend less time trying to find your pencils if you keep them in the same pocket every day, plus you’ll avoid being the jerk who asks to borrow one every day. Organizing your computer desktop will also remove some of the chaos from your life. Make a file for each class and keep your papers, syllabi and other important projects in a designated virtual folder. Not only will you save paper, you will also have a back up copy saved just incase.
Avoid procrastination As appealing as an “Orange is the New Black” Netflix marathon sounds, procrastination doesn’t get you far. Procrastination always leads to scrambling to make deadlines and cramming all night for tomorrow’s big exam. Getting things done early will help eliminate stress and increase productivity. And after you’ve gotten all your studying in, you can spend all night with your favorite #OITNB characters.
Prioritize Deciding what tasks need to be completed first is important. You want to make sure that everything is done on time and completed to the best of your abilities. Picking the easiest tasks first will help you get the ball rolling and get you started on completing your To-Do list. That being said, picking the hardest task first will get it out of the way so you no longer have to spend your day dreading it. Either way, deciding what is most important is a great way to complete your tasks.

Paul McCartney is final performer at Candlestick Park GIANNA ANNUNZIO Staff Writer
Paul McCartney took the stage at San Francisco’s historic Candlestick Park Thursday, Aug. 14. As several generations of fans would agree, McCartney’s performance attested to his constant musical energy and vigor, even at the ripe age of 72. That being said, this was no ordinary performance. After 54 years, this was the final show to ever be performed at Candlestick Park. On Aug. 29, 1966, The Beatles performed to an enormous crowd at Candlestick Park. This concert not only left an impression on music history, it also marked the last live show the Beatles would ever perform together. One can practically picture the scene: the wide-reaching stage, hysterical fans and a raspy outof-date sound system. In a promotional video for his Out There tour, McCartney stated he had some, “very special memories,” playing in Candlestick Park, holding dearly the memory of the last time The Beatles would take the stage live. As monumental as the venue was, all good things
must come to an end. “It’s sad to see the old place closing down,” McCartney told fans in between songs. “But we’re going to close it down in style.” Dr. John McHale, a professor in the School of Communication, wholeheartedly supports the decision to have McCartney play the final show. “It is very fitting that Paul McCartney should be the last performer to play Candlestick Park,” he said. “The Beatles final live performance at Candlestick was a momentous turning point for the history of modern music. The Beatles were pushing musical boundaries in the studio that could not be adequately replicated on the stage.” During the recent concert, several photographs from the historic 1966 performance were shown on screen behind McCartney and his band. Even prior to the concert’s beginning, collages of nostalgic photos were shown onscreen throughout the stadium. Most photos displayed the fab four themselves, while also including photos with other musical icons like Jimi Hendrix and Mick
Jagger. The set list for Candlestick’s final show contained several famous tracks, including Little Richard’s “Long Tall Sally,” the last song the Beatles performed at the 1966 concert. “The Beatles’ last live performance at Candlestick Park marked a turning point in their evolution as a cultural force,” said Dr. McHale. “They were now free to explore the new territory in sound in ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ album and songs like ‘Strawberry Fields Forever’ or ‘Penny Lane.’” Up until AT&T Park was built in 2000, Candlestick Park, also refered to as The Stick, was the main venue for San Francisco’s concerts and sports teams. As difficult as it may be to let this historic venue go, it seems only appropriate to have had McCartney blow out the final candle. “I am personally a huge Beatles fan and in general, the Beatles are one of the greatest bands in the world,” said junior English major, Paige Domantey. “I wouldn’t want any other artist closing out Candlestick Park than Paul McCartney.”

Aryn Newsom. Newsom tallied four saves in 82 minutes of play. The Redbirds firing offense showed up on the stat sheet as the team outshot NIU, 25-9 in total shots. Despite the impressive showing from the Redbirds, Roff believes there is a still lot of room for improvement. “The main focus is to learn from this game. The first half was tremendous for us,” Roff said. “We’re going to put together the best 90 minute effort we can.” The Redbirds will hit the road en route to College Station, Texas to take on Sam Houston State on Aug. 29 and Texas A&M on Aug. 31 before returning to Illinois to challenge DePaul on Sept. 3.

NICK ULFERTS Sports Reporter
A few months ago, it would have been difficult imagining that dumping oneself with a bucket of ice water would become a national phenomenon. Some $62.5 million dollars later, that’s exactly what it has become. From professional sports players to former U.S. presidents, the fundraiser for Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), more commonly referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease, has gone viral and swept the nation. The rules are simple. Within 24 hours of being challenged, the participant is tasked with dousing ice water over their head and then donating $10 to ALS research.
Failure to do so means donating $100. Joining the cause are several of Illinois State’s very own athletics programs, each team putting their own spin on the challenge. After being challenged by former ISU coaches Mark Kingston and Dana Ford as well as former ISU star forward Jackie Carmichael, men’s basketball head coach Dan Muller went above and beyond by being drenched with seven buckets of ice water by the team. “Prayers go all out to all those suffering from ALS and all those suffering from neurological diseases,” Muller said before the basketball team gleefully began dumping ice water on him. Players Tony Wills, Reggie Lynch and Nick Banyard also took part in the challenge. Joining Muller was the ISU football coaching staff, who each took turns jumping in a tub of ice water for the cause. Their version of the challenge was specially dedicated to linebacker Pat Meehan’s father Mike, who passed away from
ALS in 2013. Perhaps the most ambitious rendition of the challenge came from ISU’s hockey team, who accepted their challenge on the ice rink. Players David Krienke, Jeremy Gaddo, and Jagger Colarossi sat underneath a goal post on the ice as they were drenched in freezing water. Taking up a similar challenge for a different cause was the women’s basketball team, led by coach Barb Smith, who participated in the Cold Water Challenge . Like the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, the Cold Water Challenge involves being drenched with freezing cold water, but with the proceeds going towards the Kay Yow Cancer fund. Videos of the football, basketball and hockey team’s ice bucket challenges can be found on GoRedbirds.com along with many other ISU sports teams participating as well. Be sure to check them out, and if you’re brave enough, participate in the challenge yourself.

The Red team was highlighted by Emily Schneider who led the team with 11 kills and nine blocks.

It wasn’t long before the Redbirds struck again. In the 26th minute, Paige Jarsombeck, a sophomore transfer from Creighton fired towards the goal. Annala blocked the forward’s first attempt, but a second effort from Jarsombeck gave the Redbirds a rebound goal and a 3-0 lead. Not even a minute later, the Redbird attack was on the move again. Junior midfielder Ali Farkos beat Annala with a goal to the upper left handed corner to give the Redbirds a commanding 4-0 lead going into halftime. Head coach Drew Roff was impressed with his team’s performance, referencing their patience on the offensive side of the ball. “Our movement was very good … we really worked on that final pass. It takes a lot of time to get the chemistry down.” Roff said.
The Illinois State soccer team dominated NIU, 4-1 in their season opener on a hot and muggy Friday afternoon at Adelaide Street Field. Coming into the first game of the season, the Redbirds were looking for some muchneeded offense and found just that. Going scoreless in preseason play, the Redbirds came out firing on all cylinders Friday. Sophomore midfielder Dagny Olson broke the scoreless drought early in the sixth minute when she found the back of the net, beating Husky keeper Amy Annala. Just ten minutes afterwards in the 16th minute, Olson assisted fellow striker Rachel Tejada to increase their lead 2-0.
