Rec ranked fifth most impressive in U.S. ISU’s Student Fitness Center was voted in the top fourth of the 20 most impressive college gyms in the country

Homecoming Week to highlight student spirit AVE RIO Reporter

HOLLY PETROVICH News Editor

The Student Fitness Center (SFC) is one of the newer buildings at Illinois State University, and it ranked fifth in the country for most impressive college gyms by University Primetime. Andy Read, assistant director of marketing for Campus Recreation, is honored to receive this type of recognition, but is not completely surprised. “We’re very proud of the many recreational opportunities that the Student Fitness Center provides to the Illinois State community,” Read said. When the SFC was being built almost four years ago, a lot of planning went into it, Mike Bastian, associate director of Campus Recreation said. “We have an awesome facility because we built what the students want,” Bastian said. The SFC is a 170,000-squarefoot facility, and offers many different ways to work out, making it very versatile, Read

The climbing wall is just one of the popular features of ISU’s Student Fitness Center. said. Along with the standard cardio equipment, the SFC offers a 200meter track, basketball courts, a swimming pool, a rock climbing wall and various machines and free weights. Group classes are also available. The structure and features of the SFC are visually appealing, and Read believes this is something students are drawn to. “I think one thing that sets the SFC apart is the open feel of the entire facility,” Read said. “It brings in a great deal of natural

lighting, which I think makes it a very comfortable space for a workout.” Aside from a place to workout, the SFC is also tied with ISU academics. “This makes us really unique from any other in the country,” Bastian said. “Students can go from the classroom directly to the SFC, and see what they’re learning in the books put into action.” University of Arizona was first on the list, followed by Virginia Commonwealth University, Colorado State and Ohio State.

As one of the smaller schools on the list, Bastian is honored that ISU earned this rank. “If you look down the road 45 minutes, you’ll find a school twice the size of ours, which was not even mentioned at all,” he said. Read said the staff is always working on ways to update the SFC to fill the wants and needs of the students. “I think students are looking for somewhere that is safe, clean and has variety of different ways they can exercise, and I definitely think we provide that here,” Read said.

It is that time of year again: The annual homecoming celebration has almost arrived. Stephanie Duquenne, director of Alumni Relations, said the activities of Homecoming week change over the years, but one of the key events is always the Monday Kickoff. The homecoming festivities will begin with the annual Kickoff at 6 p.m. Monday on the Quad. There will be free food and live music and the Homecoming court will be announced. President Larry Dietz will begin the night by speaking to the crowd. “It’s really a pep rally to start the week off,” Duquenne said. Also on Monday, there will be a Give the Red, Spread the Red blood drive from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in the Bowling and Billiards Center’s Activity Room. Students, faculty and staff should visit redcrossblood.org to schedule a donation appointment. The main event on Tuesday is the Redbird Rumble from 7 to 9 p.m. Duquenne said they are like the “wacky Olympics.” Students and faculty form teams and compete against each other at Hancock Stadium. From 7 to 11 p.m. Wednesday, the Homecoming Carnival will be in full swing on the first floor of the Bone Student Center. The night will include free carnival food, carnival games, psychic readings, caricature, balloons and henna tattoo artists, along with a performance by the Gamma Phi Circus. “It’s free, so students can have a lot of fun without paying,” Duquenne said. In the past there has been as many as 1400 students attending the carnival, she added. From 6:30 to 9 p.m. Friday, students are invited to dress up and attend a new event this year: Redbird Rendezvous. It is a UPB Formal in the Brown Ballroom of the Bone. Duquenne said students have asked for a dance for years, so this year they are providing one. It will include a disc jockey, dance floor and hors d’oeuvres. The Homecoming King and Queen will be crowned at the event. Duquenne said choosing the king and queen is actually “quite a process.” First, a student needs to be nominated by another student or faculty member. Then, the nominated students fill out applications

Normal’s pizza selection not so prime anymore

arly last week, Prime Time Pizza announced they will be closing their doors for good in Uptown Normal. Sandwiched in between Maggie’s and Reggie’s Premium Sandwiches, Prime Time Pizza was a late-night favorite of students and local residents alike for years. This pizza joint may be closing up shop, but the memories will remain. Whether you were searching for a snack after long hours of studying, or happened to make a drunk dial at 2 a.m. for a little cheese and dough to fill your famished stomach, Prime Time Pizza would always fill the void. A “prime” location nestled within the Uptown Normal block, it was a pizza restaurant which was convenient and tasty. The departure of Prime Time Pizza marks another smaller pizza venue being kicked out of the area. Does anyone remember Redbird Pizza? If you are a freshman, sophomore or even a junior, the answer is probably no. Redbird Pizza was located on the south side of campus

where the frozen yogurt spot Cherry Berry currently presides. A student could walk in at any time of the day and buy a slice of cheese, sausage or pepperoni pizza for the low, low price of $5. Pokey Stix? Get your Pokey Stix? That’s right. Gumby’s Pizza used to be located

underneath The Edge apartments on the south side of campus where the majority of its clients ordered the delicious Pokey Stix. Essentially, this was bread loaded with cheese and great for any late night food runs. Now, Normal’s pizza options are dwindling. Most of the choices available are

large chains, highly commercialized with their ads everywhere on the television — not that there is anything wrong with these large chains. In fact, many students and local residents take quite a fancy to these pizzas. Obviously people enjoy these establishments as they are still standing and profitable in Bloomington-Normal. It simply appears the smaller or local pizza restaurants are boarding up their doors on campus. It is sad to see Prime Time Pizza go, but optimistically, something just as popular could open up shop in the vacated real estate. One of the newest shops to claim Uptown real estate is a late night cookie delivery service. By now most people have probably heard about Insomnia Cookies. They will deliver cookies to your doorstep until 3 a.m. Their doors should open soon, likely to the delight of students with sweet tooths across campus. Prime Time Pizza, you will be greatly missed as a clutch late night meal. Editorial Cartoon by Athena Tapia

Leadership beyond the climate summit is needed MY VIEW Nick Ulferts Columnist

At this point, it is a forgone conclusion that climate change is real and it no longer makes any sense to deny it. And to be clear, it is not “natural” climate change that is the problem, but man-made climate change. For a cause that should unite just about everyone, it’s amazing how divided people are on the subject, considering the large

amounts of scientific evidence that say otherwise. In fact, earlier this month the World Meteorological Organization reported that in 2013 the level of carbon dioxide in the air was 42 percent higher than in the industrial revolution. Such a radical figure is anything but natural and the reality is it’s increasing rapidly. Just last year, greenhouse gas emissions rose 2.3 percent according to the Global Carbon Project. These numbers continue to rise despite the rest of the world’s best efforts to combat them, largely because the greatest polluters (China and the United States) have ignored the problem for years. Recent events give indication that perhaps this trend will finally change, as President Barack Obama announced a new dedication to climate change Tuesday at the United Nations Summit. “We can only succeed in combating climate change if we are joined by every nation, developed and developing alike. Nobody gets

a pass,” Obama said. “It is those emerging economies that are likely to produce more and more carbon emissions in the years to come. Nobody can stand on the sidelines on this issue.” While Obama’s remarks sound great in theory, it’s hard not to be skeptical as this is not the first time Obama has sounded off on the subject. For years, Obama has made it sound as though climate change is a priority, and while he has arguably done more than any other president has in the past, it still hasn’t been nearly enough. Of course, getting bipartisan support for climate change has been nearly impossible. Republicans in Congress apparently are not moved by scientific studies and facts, or perhaps believe they are more qualified than leading climate researchers to say just what is happening in the atmosphere. “Of all the climatologists whose careers depend on the climate changing to keep themselves

publishing articles — yes, I could read that, but I don’t believe it,” Republican Rep. Larry Bucshon said when asked to research the subject of climate change himself. The “I choose not to believe for no other reason that I don’t want to” statement is a common one among climate change skeptics. While it is not entirely fair to just blame Republicans, as Democrats have not been nearly as adamant on pushing climate agendas as they should be either, it’s impossible not to point to these types of politicians who spread such misinformation. Obama’s recent declaration is assuring, but Congress cannot be trusted to act on climate change alone. It’s time for Americans to start demanding that more action be taken, as Congress has needed a strong push for a long time. Whether that means starting petitions, writing to politicians, or even just spreading awareness on social media, Americans need to become more active in fighting

Today’s Redbird Rumble or Fumble:

climate change. The best part is it’s already starting. Protests have begun all around the world, with the largest happening in New York City. Tens of thousands marched throughout the city in what was known as the People’s Climate March and was one of the largest protests on American soil in some time. What many people don’t realize is it’s not too late to start cutting back on emissions. Deliberate misinformation and inaction from U.S. leaders has prevented the country from joining a fight that much of the world has already begun, but that doesn’t mean there isn’t still hope. A better tomorrow can all but be guaranteed if Americans just choose to invest in it by making climate change a priority.

This year, Normal’s own Rader Family Farms has some frosty visitors. The farm’s third annual scarecrow contest has an entry theme based off of the hit Disney movie, “Frozen”. Linda Rader, who owns and runs the farm with her husband, Lynn, said that the entry was put together by Snyder Real Estate of Bloomington. “Most of the entries for the scarecrow contest are just one character, but this one is a group of characters,” Rader said. “There are several pieces: around four or five characters and a reindeer. It’s real cute.” The scarecrows will be up all season while the farm is open, through Oct. 31 this year, so interested students have plenty of time to stop by. Rain does cause damage to the scarecrows at times; Rader said that the “Frozen” entry had been a bit damaged by recent storms so the creators would be coming by to fix it up. The scarecrow contest winner is decided by donations from farmgoers. People put money in

Illinois debates pumpkin for official pie ANDREW MARSHALL Staff Writer

Illinois produces more than 90 percent of the canned pumpkins in the nation and is the top producer of pumpkin products in the world. With fall upon us, the leaves are beginning to change colors and pumpkins are becoming available for purchase. Just 30 minutes away from Bloomington in the town of Morton, an idea began to celebrate the great American dessert: pumpkin pie. Representative Keith Sommer recently proposed the idea to make pumpkin pie the official state pie of Illinois. Sommer’s hometown of Morton holds an annual pumpkin festival that he hoped to honor with an introduction of this legislation last month. Official pie adoption by a state is a slow, but growing trend, Linda Hoskins, executive director of the American Pie Council, said. Pennsylvania’s is apple pie, and Maine has blueberry. Illinois is just another to join the ranks of pie-adopters. The American Pie Council is a trade organization for the pie industry made up of manufacturers, amateur and professional bakers and general pie appreciators. They see pumpkin pie as the natural choice for Illinois’ official pie. “We feel pie is an American icon

Pumpkin pie might soon be the official state pie for Illinois. and we want to preserve the art of pie-making,” said Hoskins. Dedicated to the pie cause since 1975, the American Pie Council is currently working towards establishing pumpkin pie as the official pie. Michael Mochizuki, a member of the American Pie Council, sees this as a fun way to promote Illinois agriculture, commerce and legislation. Jennifer Daly, executive director of the Morton Chamber of Commerce, talked about what this official pie proposal means to Morton. “It’s a sense of pride for us, but

NEWS IN BRIEF New site sought after for growing marijuana After being denied by the McLean County Board last week for a marijuana cultivation center in Downs, Tim Jones is now looking at a different place in the same area. Jones is now asking the Downs Zoning Board of Appeals for a rezoning of land on the south side of the community. The site is close by to “a former gravel pit from mixed residential/agriculture,” according to The Pantagraph. Illinois allows 22 cultivation centers. In the Pontiac-based Illinois State Police District 6, just one is allowed in the area, which covers DeWitt, Livingston and McLean counties. This will be a difficult feat for Jones to get passed, as there are records of at least three other people who have attempted to get state permits for cultivation centers. Requests have been received for one in Normal, another

pumpkin is also a big part of our economy,” Daly said. Pumpkins are more than just a decoration or a pie ingredient; they are a $33 million industry for Illinois. Pumpkin pie has not been claimed yet as a state pie. The only food our state has claimed thus far is popcorn, the official snack of Illinois. Sommer’s bill is expected to come up for debate next spring. Whether pumpkin pie becomes official or not the people of Illinois will always enjoy pumpkin pie, made from pumpkins grown right here in their home state.

with essay questions, and faculty, staff and alumni score the applications. The top 12 guys and girls are then invited to the Alumni Center for interviews, where they will be scored once again. The average of the application score and interview score determine the top 5 guys and girls, who make up Homecoming Court. Finally, there will be voting on MyIllinoisState.edu where students, faculty and staff can vote to determine the king and queen. “We wanted to make it so it’s not just a popularity contest,” Duquenne said. Moving into the weekend, one of the most popular ways to celebrate Homecoming among students is to tailgate before the football game on Saturday. Kick-off is at 2 p.m. and many people tailgate from around 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. The Redbird football team will take on South Dakota State at Hancock Stadium. To celebrate Homecoming, there will be an alumni ticket discount for the football game. Tickets are $15-30 for general admission, but

Redbird Athletics will be offering tickets to alumni for $25 for the newly renovated east grandstand of Hancock Stadium. ISU alums should use the promo code “ALUM14” when purchasing tickets on GoRedbirds.com. Another Saturday event will be the Homecoming Parade. It will begin at 10 a.m. at the corner of College Avenue and University Street and go throughout the town. There will also be the annual 5K and 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk beginning at 8 a.m. on Saturday. The race will start outside the Student Fitness Center and end on the Quad. The 1-Mile Fun Run/Walk will begin after the 5K starts. New this year is a Saturday night rally bash, including food and live music by The Bygones. It will be from 6 to 9 p.m. in the Brown Ballroom of the Bone. Admission is $3 at the door. Before it all begins, President Larry Dietz and Mayor Chris Koos will light the trees in Uptown Normal to start the homecoming celebration tonight. There will be live music from 6 to 7:30 p.m. before the lighting ceremony at dusk.

On a 8-0 vote, Diana Hauman was named Ward 8 alderman after being appointed by Mayor Tari Renner.

Most creative the top Halloween costumes five Compiled by JULIA MORENO/ Reporter MCT Campus Photo

1 “Nudist on strike”

If you don’t feel like dressing up this year, an easy solution is to wear your everyday clothes and carry a sign around that says “Nudist on strike!” It’ll get some chuckles, cost you less than five dollars and you’ll be comfortable all night.

Preparing for a BOOtiful night ROSHAUNDA COLEMAN Staff Writer

While Halloween still seems far away, students have already begun searching for that perfect costume and decorating their dorm rooms in preparation for Halloween. For most college students Halloween signifies an epic night of partying and games. While partying is fun, there is more to the holiday than parties alone. Here are a few tips for making the best out of this year’s Halloween weekend. Let’s begin with dressing up. You are never too old to find a funny, scary or cute costume to go out in on this eventful night. Enjoy being able to dress up wild and crazy in the prime of your life. Start thinking about your costume now so that you can plan accordingly and give yourself enough time to to create it or order online if necessary. Dare to be different. All animal costumes of the feline species will be prowling the streets as they do every year. Find a new, unique inspiration such as pop culture, favorite movies or even comics and bring the

true element of surprise out with your costume. Avoid distasteful costumes. Costumes that may be offensive or otherwise too revealing tend to lead to bad implications. Remember this is still a place of higher education and you are the representative of your university. Low on cash? Get creative and make your own costume out of clothes and supplies that you already have. Friends and roommates are always open to helping inspire new ideas out of scratch. Halloween is about having a good time, and there are tons of fun, spooky things to do on campus, so take advantage of them. Events such as the annual Trick or Treat for Change program and The Haunting at State will be offered this year. Stay safe. Although this time is full of pranks and games, remember to always be careful. Avoid drinking unknown liquids, make sure to stay with the group you came with and, most importantly, do not walk home alone. The most important tip of all? Seize the day. After college, there are far less opportunities to go out dressed like Mickey Mouse and have unadulterated fun.

Grab your best friend and be the characters from “Wayne’s World.” Other iconic best friend duos are Jay and Silent Bob, Calvin and Hobbes, or Mermaid Man and Barnacle Boy from “Spongebob Squarepants.” If you and three other friends want to do something fun, go as The Incredibles or the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.

Don’t fret, couples! You guys can get in on the fun, too, by dressing up like famous couple Misty and Ash from Pokémon, Maeby and George Michael from “Arrested Development,” Shrek and Fiona, Popeye and Olive, or even R2-D2 and C-3PO.

4 Human Piñata

For something cheap and quick yet creative, just grab a paper leaf and lawn bag, cut it as short as you want, and then glue on rows of crepe paper streamers cut into fringe. The biggest challenge, however, is to stay away from anyone dressed as a baseball player or caveman.

5 Stick Figure Person

This is probably the most anti-costume costume. Dress up in a white, long-sleeve shirt and white sweat pants, and then use black Duck Tape to create a stick figure body on your white clothing. Top it off with a round, white smiley-face mask made using a paper plate, rubber bands or string and a black marker.

the top five Things girls love for fall

Ave Rio/Staff Photographer

Poetry is a form of self-expression for many students on campus and some speak at poetry readings hosted by the English Department.

Colorado poet gives aspiring writers valuable advice GIANNA ANNUNZIO Staff Writer

Many writers strive to create a new poetic world through the rebirth of old text, hoping to produce a unique and successful piece. Though this seems far-reaching for inexperienced writers, poet and University of Colorado-Boulder English professor, Ruth Ellen Kocher, was willing to reveal valuable information regarding her style at a poetry reading last week co-hosted by Illinois State University’s Creative Writing Program and Publications Unit. As a guest speaker, Kocher brought the audience to a greater understanding of her writing process, and how she gained the inspiration to write. What is one to do when they have no muse to inspire their writing? Kocher told her audience about the struggle this question once posed. The poet eventually found her inspiration deep within historical Italy. She described her trip to Italy as a search for literary enlightenment, while engaging in wide-spanning sightseeing. After coming across several historic landmarks, an ancient Corinthian column was the piece that sparked an emotional connection. Kocher told the story of the column, explaining that its design was inspired by a basket of acanthus leaves once placed atop

the grave of a slave girl. Without warning, inspiration struck, and the drive to fictionally tell the slave girl’s story was set in motion. This inspiration eventually lead to the publication of her book “domina Un/blued.” After inspiration took a firm hold, Kocher hoped to reinvent herself through a new process of writing. She displayed “domina Un/blued” as an experiment in “palimpsest writing,” or writing made by destroying its original format. Duriel E. Harris, an ISU English professor who has taught poetry writing and poetics, shared her thoughts on the process of erasing her writing. “The type of process Kocher used in composing ‘domina Un/blued’ has been used by other writers and seems to be increasingly popular in this contemporary moment,” Harris said. “The process is a type of ‘deformation’ in which the writer’s own work is used as a ‘source text’ from which to create new work.” In an attempt to uncover the hidden past, Kocher felt that she must put a similar process onto her writing — destruction and rebuilding. To do this she would delete poems she had previously written — forever — a huge feat for a poet. Kocher said that it brought her much sadness to have to erase a poem she

was fond of. Despite this, she stuck to her process, and enacted this demolition onto her work. She compared the textual destruction of “what already was,” to looking at historical sights in Italy. As an example, she recounted the sight of an ancient Italian monument, describing its years of being partially demolished and restored. The years of rebuild were visible as the building’s reconstructions chipped away with age, revealing what once was. When styling her poems, Kocher uses unique formatting, revealed in certain lines of “domina Un/blued.” On one particular page, the poem’s words were complied into two columns of text: one English and one Italian, both offering translations of the same line. Besides Kocher’s physical structure, her philosophical, almost lyrical language is what makes her poetry unique. At certain times, her poem’s lines read almost as prose, giving her poetry a more narrative feel. Within the process of historical searching, traveling, researching and translating, the outcome of Kocher’s process is praiseworthy. Though every writer finds inspiration in different places, Kocher’s commitment to her process is a quality all writers should possess.

1 Pumpkin Spice Lattes Starbucks has created arguably the best part of fall: the Pumpkin Spice Latte. After pumpkin spice became a phenomenon fueled by screeching college girls, coffee shops across the nation began advertising new special fall drinks that are irresistible, but none more adored than Starbucks’ original. College girls live for that zesty pumpkin spice flavor, somewhere in between heaven, the smell of fresh fall air and the sweet taste of a pumpkin pie blended into hot, tasty coffee deliciousness. Thanks to girls with fall fever, Starbucks will be raking cash like the leaves that fall from the trees.

2 Grandpa Sweaters Girls go crazy over a giant, cozy, warm sweater during fall, and the uglier the better. If it looks about ten times too big and you wonder if it may have been stolen from your grandpa, it’s a college girl sweater for sure. This obsession is somewhat understandable, because wearing an oversized sweater makes you feel like you’re trapped in a giant bear hug. However, the best part about grandpa sweater weather means that you don’t have to wear real pants. Which brings us to the next thing college girls love about fall.

3 Leggings Skinny jeans and yoga pants have joined forces to create the single most important item in any girl’s closet. Leggings can be worn in just about every setting, according to college girls. You can dress them up or dress them down. Leggings are the perfect roll-outof-bed item that says, “I tried to get dressed up this morning, but not really.” Leggings are a stylish loophole invented as a way for girls to escape the social norm of wearing pants in public and the unbearable restrictions that wearing jeans causes.

4 Scented Candles If Bath & Body Works or Yankee Candle has a sale during the colder months, you can bet that there’s an infinity-scarf-clad, riding-bootwearing college girl first in line. She may even be sipping a Pumpkin Spice Latte. For girls, candles are happiness in a jar and when it comes to picking out the perfect fall scent for your apartment, there is no messing around. This is likely because most fall candles smell like baking desserts. During fall, seasonal scents sell out fast, so backup candles are essential. If you’re doing it right, your apartment should smell like Pumpkin Spice Candy Land.

5 Scarves Scarves are basically the statement necklaces of the fall. You can never have too many scarves, because you need one to match every single outfit, whether or not the ensemble actually calls for a scarf. Girls don’t care whether it’s 80 degrees outside — if the first day of fall has come, it’s scarf season no matter what the temperature. College girls look forward to scarf weather more than seeing Ryan Gosling with his shirt off, and that’s saying something.

can’t seem to catch a break. After catching his wife cheating on him and losing his job, he spends the better half of the week trying to hide the fact that his life is falling apart. He is joined by his sharptongued sister, Wendy, who is played by Tina Fey, and his two bickering brothers. Supervising the week of grief is their mother Hillary, played by Jane Fonda, who’s capitalized on her children’s upbringing by writing a book about them. Add in a collection of wives, husbands, neighbors, plus some colorful townies and the house is perpetually full as the family tries to settle old feuds and mourn the loss of their father. The movie follows the book pretty closely, thanks to author, Jonathan Tropper, who also wrote the screenplay. What the movie misses, however, is the intricate details and thoughtful narration that made the book an emotional powerhouse. The movie is also noticeably missing an extensive back-story about the oldest brother Paul, one that raises the stakes of the family feud much higher. Overall, the film was well done.

It swayed frantically between broad comedy and overly sentimental moments but never turned into an after school special. The movie gets a major lift from its excellent casting. However, the movie’s biggest pitfall is that it gets stuck in scenes that are too sappy to be earnest. The brightest spots of the movie come from the impressive acting that cuts through the sentimentality of the script. Adam Driver’s take on the reckless younger brother could have fallen into sitcom pratfalls but he brings a warm and wise nature to the role. In a smaller role, Ben Schwartz plays a much-needed comic relief as the family’s too-cool-for-Shiva. The well-seasoned cast never outshines one another and they use the material as best they can. While “This Is Where I Leave You” may not be a movie you want to spend a whole week locked in a house with, it certainly is nice family to visit.

ISU gains experience Women’s golf takes 14th against Fighting Illini at Golfweek Challenge JOHN BUTKUS Sports Reporter

Even though the Redbird hockey team fell short against the University of Illinois this weekend, it gained some quality experience against a Division I opponent to prepare for the rest of the season. One area that the ’Birds improved on was their goaltending. Illinois has a dangerous offense and junior goaltender David Krienke was tested this past weekend. The netminder gave up five goals to the Fighting Illini on Friday night, but responded in a big way on Saturday and only gave up an impressive two goals on forty-eight shots, putting his save percentage at .958. Three of those goals on Friday were given up in the third period alone, but many saves were made on power play opportunities to keep the Redbirds within reach throughout the game. Another area that the ’Birds were impressive in was keeping up with the speed in the Division I level. When playing up against DI teams, the speed of the game is significantly faster, but with the way the Redbirds played over the weekend, it doesn’t seem like it will be much of a challenge for them. ISU came out fast on Friday, scoring first and keeping the game close. If ISU can keep that fast style of play up, they will not have trouble having success against some of the better DI teams this year. The score from Friday night was 5-3 in favor of the Illini and on Saturday the ’Birds fell again, 2-0. One thing that can account for ISU’s success is team chemistry. “I think the rookies have gelled with the veterans pretty easily and pretty well. We have a little more team chemistry at this point of the season than most teams probably do. Our offense has also been a big factor Archive Photo and it’s something Junior ISU captain Connor Anderson we’re hoping to keep building on as the season progresses and we get everyone healthy,” captain Connor Anderson said. “I think the team did a great job working out during the off season. You can tell everyone put the work in. We also have come together and got to know each other right away, and it is showing with our chemistry,” freshman forward Tim Talty said. Team chemistry is one of ISU’s strong points and will be key in their success the rest of the season. Another aspect of the game that is important for success is playing solid defense, especially against tougher DI opponents. “The main thing I think we all have to work on is our coverage and overall play in our defensive zone. With the skill we have up front we should be able to put up a consistent amount of goals but when we start playing stronger competition or run into a hot goalie, our play in our D zone will be the difference between winning and losing,” Anderson said. The Redbirds continue their season this weekend against Robert Morris on Friday and Saturday. The puck will drop for both games at 7:30 p.m.

The women’s golf team looked to bounce back from a lackluster finish at the Cardinal Cup this week as the team headed west for the Golfweek Challenge. A comeback however, would not happen, as the Redbirds continued to struggle despite looking so promising in the beginning of the season. The team continued to battle consistency, as up and down performances led to a 14th place finish, tied with Georgetown University. The Golfweek Challenge is no ordinary tournament. It is played on the Red Sky Golf Club’s Fazio Course in Wolcott, Colo. The course itself is incredibly difficult with elevations of 6,535 feet and steep slopes that make every shot a challenge. Altitude change is another difficulty that can constantly drain energy if unused to its effects. Throw in a tournament field that includes threetime Golfweek Challenge champs Pepperdine University as well as powerhouse schools Louisville and Tennessee, and the Redbirds were faced with by far the most daunting competition of year. Despite the adversity, the Redbirds entered the competition eager to improve on last year’s 15th place finish and last week’s disappointing finish at the Cardinal Cup. Coming into the tournament, seniors Hayley Guyton and Lauren English had been solid in previous tournaments while freshman phenomenon Abby Luchtenburg continued to surprise with her play in the previous two tournaments. All eyes were on ISU star Brianna Cooper, whose impressive season included a first place finish at the Redbird invitational and an 11th place finish at the Cardinal Cup. Unfortunately, the Redbirds struggled in the first day of the tournament, as the team finished in 9th place with team score of 307. Cooper continued right where she left off in the Cardinal Cup, shooting a stellar one under par and placing tied for sixth overall. Day two would prove to be even more frustrating however, as the Redbirds shot a team score of 321 and slid to 12th place. Guyton rebounded from the previous round to score a 78 on the day, moving her into a tie for 58th individually. Luchtenburg could not capitalize on her first round score, as she and sophomore Maggie Ambrose shot 85 and dropped in the rankings into a tie for 68th and 72nd respectively. Cooper was able to carry the team with a score of 74 on the day, moving into sole possession of 5th place overall. “We didn’t play very well today, which is disappointing after putting ourselves in a good position,” head coach Darby Sligh said. “We know where we made our mistakes, and it’s important that we fix them Wednesday and move forward. Hayley and Brianna held us together, and I hope their solid play continues.” Yet day three was the most brutal of all, despite comeback efforts from Luchtenburg and Ambrose, who were able to improve with scores of 75 and 76 respectively. Cooper had her worst round of the tournament, as she ended the final round with a score of 80, dropping to 24th on the individual leaderboard. Guyton and English could not help carry the team as both ended the round with scores in the eighties as well, giving them a 14th place finish. Pepperdine University would ultimately claim their fourth Golfweek Challenge title, with Tennessee and Denver coming in at second and third.

Redbirds ready to rally for Homecoming See how ISU Athletics and student athletes will be celebrating Homecoming Week Compiled by Vidette Sports

Football The currently 2-0 Redbirds will take on the 3-1 South Dakota State Jack Rabbits on Saturday Oct. 4. Key players to watch out for on offense are ISU’s quarterback Tre Roberson, running back Marshaun Coprich and wide receiver Lechein Neblett. Players to look out for on defense are linebacker Pat Meehan, linebacker Alex

Donnelly and defensive back Mike Banks who have all had great starts to the season. “It’s always been important for us to win at home; ever since I came here we wanted to have a home field advantage,” head coach Brock Spack said. “We got a little string [of wins] going.” Kickoff is scheduled for 2 p.m.

Swimming/diving “I am very excited for the 201415 season,” ISU head coach Steve Paska said. “As I anxiously await the start of our first segment of the season, I’m very impressed with the work ethic the team has

put in during preseason workouts. The 2014-15 schedule is definitely a tough one, but I’m confident we will tackle the challenge of competing against some outstanding swimming and diving programs.”

Hockey “Homecoming weekend is going to be one of our busiest weekends of the season,” junior captain Connor Anderson said. “We usually only have games on Friday and Saturday but we actually have a game on Sunday as well that weekend. I know I have some family coming

down for the games so I’ll spend some time with them and go out to a few dinners. Other than that I don’t think we’ll have too much time for normal homecoming activities, just getting some rest between games and coming ready to play the next day.”

Gymnastics “I’ll probably tailgate and then go to the game. Go Redbirds!” ISU gymnast Riley Childress said.

Track and field “We’re having a team tailgate and then we’re going to the game,” ISU track member Tyler Rippel said.

Volleyball

Women’s tennis The women’s tennis team will be traveling to Des Moines, Iowa for the MVC Individual Championships.

On Friday, Oct. 3, Redbirds will travel to Terre Haute, Indiana to take on the Sycamores of Indiana State. The ’Birds split the season series with the other ISU last year, with both home teams coming out on top. This will be the only action Illinois State will see homecoming weekend. The players are eager to continue through their MVC play, but are very excited to go to the football game as well. “We have a game at Indiana State on Friday night so we will be there.

But when we get back Friday night I am sure we will all go to the game on Saturday,” Kaitlyn Early said. In the past, the team has also participated in the annual homecoming parade which goes throughout the campus. “A couple years ago we sat in the back of someone’s truck and threw out candy. This year I think we are walking in the parade so it will be cool to be a part of it. I think other teams are doing it and I think it is a cool team experience,” Early said.
