There are several different parts along Constitution Trail that make it the unique bike path Bloomington-Normal residents love.
Celebration in honor of Constitution Trail Marking its 25th year as one of the longest paths in Bloomingon-Normal, WGLT is hosting a party featuring live music and prizes throughout the trail JULIA MORENO Staff Writer
It has been a quarter century since an abandoned railroad line running through Bloomington-Normal was transformed into the popular, multi-purpose Constitution Trail through the twin communities. So what better way to celebrate that fact than with a big party? A local public radio station WGLT will sponsor the GLT Trail Crawl on Saturday, a celebration of the 24-mile-long Constitution Trail’s anniversary that will include free live music and prizes. Three bands will play at
various stations along the trail between 3 and 5 p.m. Linda Healy, Events and Promotions Director for GLT, says the 25th anniversary celebration was to “show our appreciation of the trail.” Three musical guests will be performing along the path. One of the bands that will perform will be the Aduki Trio, a jazz band that will be playing at the Tipton South Shelter, which is just north of General Electric Park close to General Electric Road. Another group that will play is The Old Men Boys, a blue grass ensemble appearing at the Allers Shelter, located across from Connie

Link Amphitheater. Car parking is available in the Connie Link parking lot right off of Linden Street in Normal. The third musical guest is Dave Berchtold, an acoustic blue guitar player who will be playing at Atwood Wayside, which is by the intersection of the trail and Jefferson Street in Bloomington. Prizes will be raffled off by WGLT, such as overnight stays at The Chateau and Eastland Suites, gift baskets from Jeffrey Alans, a local eatery basket filled with gift cards, cycling gear from Vitesse Cycle, movie passes and retail and grocery gift cards.

runners, walkers, and bikers that winds through Bloomington-Normal, was the brainchild of the late Hugh Atwood, a Bloomington Alderman in the early 1980s. At the time, the Illinois Central Gulf Railroad had just abandoned the line through the communities and Atwood saw this as an opportunity to bring to life his vision of a community scenic trail. The railroad tracks were removed and the first part of the trail was constructed in the mid-1980s. According to Dr. Robert Bradley, a retired Illinois State political science professor and

VIDETTE EDITORIAL BOARD
Enrollment increase has some negative impact
I
llinois State University is a crowded school. That much is clear anytime one enters Watterson Dining Center or the Student Fitness Center. Increasing overall enrollment by 20 percent will do that, and while ISU seems to be bursting at the seams with students, one has to wonder just where ISU is putting all these students and where they are going to eat. To be clear, a large incoming freshmen class is a problem most universities would like to have. As the number of college-ready high school graduates continues to decline, most colleges are struggling to keep freshmen enrollment numbers up. This year, ISU added 3,589 freshmen compared to 2,981 last year. Transfer student numbers have increased as well. It was only two years ago that ISU greeted what was formally the largest incoming freshmen class ever. To have that record beaten so soon is a good sign for the future, though there is no guarantee that such large figures will continue annually. Still, ISU is clearly a university that is looking to grow. Just last spring, ISU was one of the few schools listed as a possible longterm candidate for a Big Ten addition. Even more recently, ISU has moved up seven spots in the national rankings of best public universities, jumping from 81st to 74th. Having such aspirations and accreditations means ushering in more and more students. If that is the case, then accommodations need to be made to fit such numbers. For starters, the dorms are simply overcrowded. Filling lounges, previously used for leisure and study, should not become a norm. Lounges are not necessarily the most desirable living accommodation, and the lack of
space has led to constant shuffling as students are relocated at a whim. “It’s not fair to move anyone out of their space after they have been adjusted,” freshman La’Shay Bell said. Bell is not the only freshman to take notice, as a side effect of the student surplus has been the uncertainty of moving to another building. “This could be fixed by possibly opening up other dorms or not accepting as many students,”
freshman Becca Welcome said. If ISU is to continue to accept large freshmen classes, then building another dorm is a natural solution. Attempting to eat at Watterson around noon is nearly impossible and dinner hours are not much better. There simply is no other convenient place to eat without trekking to Tri Towers or burning through flex dollars at the Bone Student Center. Initially it was decided
that off-campus students were not to be allowed a meal plan which was considered was unfavored by most students, especially given how important meal plans are to many existing students. Thankfully, the policy was revoked and some meal plans were offered to off-campus students. Still, the problem persists that there are not enough dining centers since South Side was closed, as the construction of Cardinal Court did not provide any dining services. The University of Illinois has a total of six dining centers for over 32,000 undergraduates. ISU has only two for over 18,000 undergraduates, most of which are eating at Watterson for lunch if they have a meal plan. While ISU still enjoys a 19-to-1 studentto-faculty ratio, it’s clear for most that the university needs to find better ways to accommodate all students. “We guarantee spots for students with two or less years out of high school, which is the majority of our freshman class. So, there’s no need to panic, no hotel rooms that will be filled with ISU students,” Rachel Kobus, ISU coordinator of Marketing & Assessment, said. True, there are not students in hotels now. And yes, every student has a living space, even if it is a tight one. But if ISU wishes to continue to grow, which it absolutely should, then the lack of dorm space and dining centers needs to be addressed. “I personally believe that you should put all the overcrowded students an in enclosed, four -walled room, and place a plague in the room,” freshman athletic training major Kelsey Pajor said. “Those who survive deserve free room and board in a dorm of their choice. Survival of the fittest. If I learned anything in Bio 101, it’s that Editorial Cartoon by Athena Tapia science should decide.”

DO YOU THINK THERE IS A NEED FOR AN ADDITIONAL DORM ON ILLINOIS STATE’S CAMPUS?
9/11 challenge to ISU: It’s still a day to remember MY VIEW Roshaunda Coleman Columnist
Thirteen years ago, America experienced one of the most tragic events in history. Sept. 11, 2001, often referred to as 9/11, marks the date of a terrorist attack against America by 19 militants associated with Islamic extremist group
al-Qaeda. The extremist group hijacked four airliners and carried out suicide attacks, using planes, against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed in a field in Pennsylvania. Almost 3,000 people were killed during the attacks in New York City and Washington, D.C., along with over 400 police officers and firefighters.
As the 13th anniversary of 9/11 makes its appearance, the many families that were directly impacted will be taking time to visit the memorial of their loved ones at Ground Zero in New York City, the Pentagon Memorial in Washington and the National Park Service in Pennsylvania as they do every year. Those of us whom may not have been directly impacted will go about our daily lives as if it were just another day. Some may have conversations about terrorism or even about how sadly horrific that day was but will leave those conversations and continue about their day without giving it a second thought. I challenge the students, faculty and staff of Illinois State University to stop for a moment in their busy day and join the rest of Americans who, by presidential proclamation, are called to observe Patriot Day each
Sept. 11 with a moment of silence for those innocent lives, police officers and firefighters who died trying to protect the citizens of their country. Many other Americans will be serving their communities in honor of 9/11 as part of the National Day of Service and Remembrance. Be proactive and join them on this day even if it’s just sending thank you letters to soldiers and veterans. This is the day that all Americans should come together as one, even if just for the day, in honor and remembrance of all of the lives we lost on that fatal day. Roshaunda Coleman is a sophomore broadcast journalism major and columnist for The Vidette. Any questions or comments regarding her column can be sent to rrcolem@ ilstu.edu.

board member of Friends of the Constitution Trail, “Atwood was a real visionary.” The route was officially named the “Constitution Trail” in honor of the celebration of the 200th birthday of the United States Constitution on Sept. 17, 1987. The trail’s grand opening was on May 6, 1989. In 2009, the Friends of the Constitution Trail installed six signs honoring and describing important parts of the U.S. Constitution and how it relates to every day American
life. For example, the Preamble to the Constitution is the focus of a sign at Rosa Parks Commons while the Bill of Rights is spotlighted at Connie Link Amphitheatre. Article One is featured at Tipton Park, Article Two is highlighted at West 9 Wayside, Article Three gets the sign treatment at Keith Rich Memorial near Rollingbrook Park and Article Five is described at Atwood Wayside. “It’s an outstanding feature for Bloomington-Normal,” Bradley said. “It’s an opportunity for people to walk in nature.”

Music and art festival to rock Danville ALEX JENKINS Staff Writer
Attention music enthusiasts and art lovers of the Midwest: Danville, will be hosting the first ever Phases of the Moon Music and Art Festival. The festival will be a four-day event in Kennekuk County Park, beginning Thursday and continuing through Sunday. Kennekuk Park is 3,000 acres of amazing scenery including lakes, hiking grounds and turn-of-thecentury architecture. At the park, popular folk and new age artists perform on four outdoor stages. If you’re in need of a little feel-good music, artistic inspiration or relaxation and rejuvenation, Phases of the Moon is the event for you. The festival will host what 23-year-old co-founder Sam Shear likes to call “100% organic, feel-good music.” Shear told Last.fm Originals the most important thing about the festival is not the music but the four goals they hope to achieve.
They want to provide 100% organic, feel-good music, awe-inspiring artwork, a strong sense of community and finally, t he c onscious collective.
Shear a n d his fat her founded Terrapin Ridge Productions and from there created the idea of fusing music and art together into one four-day festival that others in the community can take part in and enjoy. The lineup for Phases of the Moon includes artists
such as David Gans, The String Cheese Incident, Widespread Panic, Lunar Landing Conspiracy and Grace Potter & T h e
Nocturnals. You can hear some of these tunes on the Phases website by listening to the Phases Radio. Phases of the Moon is not just a music festival. They are combining music, art, camping and even yoga. The festival provides a great space to feel one with the
earth through hiking, fishing and exploration. They also offer a sanctuary that will act as a retreat for relaxation. There will also be a collection of expert healers and instructors to give massages, yoga lessons, meditation instruction and more. Art is a big part of this festival and Phases of the Moon will feature nationally known artists as well as local and even performance artists. If you are an artist or know an aspiring artist, you can submit an application to join the showcase on the festival website. Tickets are on sale now ranging from $46 to a full weekend at $270. You can enter a contest on Instagram to win free tickets by taking a photo of yourself holding the f lyers that you can find around campus and use the hashtag #SeeYouAtThePhases. Find out more information about directions, ticket sales and the lineup at phasesofthemoonfestival.com.
REVIEW
Fall Out Boy’s new single ‘Centuries’ showcases their new sound GIANNA ANNUNZIO Staff Writer
The widely anticipated release of Fall Out Boy’s new pop power-ballad single “Centuries,” has finally been unveiled. Cryptic implication of a song release was prominent recently across the band’s several social media platforms. Hints ranging from “blacking out” their Facebook and Twitter, to sending messages in Morse code swept the band’s profiles. But finally the wait is no more; the track has dropped. The song’s specific genre is difficult to distinguish, especially when considering the band’s recent strive for evolution from their usual sound. “Centuries,” opens with a quiet “doodoo-doo” catchy vocal hook, borrowed from 1987 hit “Tom’s Diner,” by Suzanne Vega. Progressing from this initial introductory beat, a build up of Patrick Stump’s lead vocals enter the field, yelling the headstrong lyrics against an unyielding alternative-pop beat. As anticipated as this song was, the reviews are mixed — many fans are still stuck in the past, continually wishing Fall Out Boy would return to their more original “punk” sound. “Centuries,” displays a definite pop vibe and certainly does not reflect much of the band’s earlier albums, like their debut “Take This to Your Grave.” Nonetheless, Fall Out Boy seems to have produced this song with greater musing in mind than their concept album. “Centuries,” is about something much greater — becoming immortalized within the music industry and striving to be remembered “for centuries.” Although Fall Out Boy has no plan of returning to their concept, it is seemingly in good faith. The band is in the midst of an ongoing musical evolution, hungry to explore every end of the spectrum; Fall Out Boy is never confined to genre singularity. The new single articulates the struggle of having musical aspirations, also touching on how adolescent aspirations of thriving within the music industry are often dismissed. According to the offical FOB Facebook

Fall Out Boy released their new single “Centuries” to iTunes on Monday. page, “That some kids from the Middle of Nowhere, USA can make a mark or will scream long enough until the world listens is amazing” and was the primary drive behind the song’s meaning. “It’s all just to prove to the next kid that she can pick up a guitar and know that it is a weapon,” they said. The sound “Centuries” presents not only a statement about the band’s evolving musical identity, but also the amount of power that Fall Out Boy has while they continually reinvent themselves. “We don’t feel any urge to turn the clock back,” the band wrote. “We crave something new, [to find] our place in it all.” That craving is strongly exhibited within the song’s commanding, almost formidable intensity. The evident passion embedded within “Centuries” could make even veteran fans of Fall Out Boy consider the track an enormous statement of the band’s present musical contentment. The track also pays tribute to Chicago, Fall Out Boy’s hometown. A hyperlapse video of scenes panning over the city’s

magnificent landmarks was released with the song. Captivating shots of “the Bean,” Millennium Park, Lake Michigan and the city skyline pan across the screen. Some say the song reflects a sound from FOB’s 2008 studio album “Folie a` Deux,” an album that showed the band’s affinity towards musical experimentation. Others insist that the track would be the undeniable lovechild of “Folie,” and Fall Out Boy’s 2013 comeback album “Save Rock and Roll.” For the band though, “Centuries” is something wholeheartedly new. “[‘Centuries’] is us passing along the story of how we feel right before we step on stage,” the band said. “Trading feeling small and human for all the sweat and grit and sheer power of belief it takes to stare down a giant. Sometimes if you scream loud enough, the world will listen.”

Miley Cyrus is known for her wild antics, but is now turning to a more artistic form of expression

Miley Cyrus shows her craft creations at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week ALYSSA GROH Staff Writer
Though 21-year-old pop star Miley Cyrus may be more famous for how she presents herself rather than her music, she continues to shock everyone. It all started when she reinvented her look, then came her twerking performance at the VMAs, then more recently released her nude “Wrecking Ball” music video. Miley continues to express her self without shame and recently designed her own art collection which was shown earlier this week at Jeremy Scott’s runway show at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City. Cyrus’s collection includes colorful rave-style beaded bracelets, sculptures dedicated to her deceased dog, and even a 5-foot -tall bong and a vibrator. This pop star is not afraid to express herself even if it results in her being judged negatively by society. Cyrus, who posed naked for the cover surrounded by stuffed animals, told V magazine that the reason she started making this art collection was to cope with the terrible year she had. She claimed that every thing kept getting
worse, and everything that could go wrong went wrong. In order to deal with losing her dog and her breakup with ex-fiancé Liam Hemsworth, she decided to create art. She used her artwork to remember her dog,
“My fans will be into it, especially because I’m involving them. It’s building connections with people.…And this is giving me happiness, so that’s all I have to focus on.” Miley Cyrus Lloyd, and to express herself with things that made her happy. She also explained why she isn’t afraid to be a little crazy and out there: It means she has made an impact on everyone and her name will be known. “My goal in life: to not die a pop pop dumb dumb,” said Cyrus in her interview with V Magazine. Everything she used to create her art, Miley collected on tour,
whether the items were given to her by fans or things that she found at an airport. “My fans will be into it, especially because I’m involving them. It’s building connections with people.…And this is giving me happiness, so that’s all I have to focus on,” Cyrus said. The vibrator used in the collection was given to her by a fan, who threw it to her while she was on stage, with a joint attached to it. She explained that she does her artwork while she is high; it would be much weirder to do it if she was sober. She was up until seven in the morning doing nothing anyway, so she figured she might as well smoke weed and do something, like design her art collection, which is where she got the name “Dirty Hippie.” Although she has never taken an art class, she is dedicated to her art. She claimed that if she wasn’t so busy on tour she would dedicate more time to her art, and blow others’ art away. Whether you are a Miley Cyrus fan or not, be sure to check out her twitter for updated pictures of “Dirty Hippie” that will be sure to make your jaw drop.

Illini remain undefeated with a 42-34 victory against Western Kentucky
ISU’s 1989-90 men’s basketball team reunites for 25th anniversary
STEPHANIE FISHER/SPORTS REPORTER
Members of the 1989-90 Illinois State Men’s Basketball team gathered for a Redbird for Life (RB4L) reunion last Saturday at Redbird Arena. Celebrating their 25th anniversary, the 1989-90 Redbirds gathered for a social event in the Redbird Legends Room, along with tours of the campus’ updated facilities. After going just 6-9 to the midpoint of the season, the 198990 team won nine of their final 12 regular season games to end up tied for second place in the Missouri Valley Conference. ISU went on to win the MVC Championship, defeating Southern Illinois in front of a record-crowd at Redbird Arena, the lastever MVC tournament held in Normal. The Redbirds secured a sport in the NCAA tournament where they met defendingchampion Michigan. “That whole year was nothing but great memories,” former ISU head men’s basketball coach Bob Bender said. “These players were incredible. Now, seeing them with their families, seeing the success they’ve had, it’s not surprising.” Along with the social event and campus tours, the 1989-90 MVC Championship group of players, coaches, managers, and staff also attended Saturday’s ISU football game, 62-0 blowout win against Mississippi Valley State.
Illinois quarterback Wes Lunt threw for the 2 touchdowns while receiver Taylor Barton scored for 6 in a returned interception last Saturday, taking away the win with a 42-34 score against Western Kentucky. Lunt had a record day, throwing 35-50 for 456 yards and had one interception for the Illini, who are now 2-0 on the season. Barton picked off Western Kentucky quarterback Brandon Doughty late in the fourth-quarter to earn a 77-yard touchdown that sealed the lead for the Illini, and put them up 35-27. The momentum throughout the game constantly teetered between each team, as Doughty threw 297 yards, and two touchdowns. Although the Illinois led the majority of the game, Western Kentucky came up dominant in their defense, as they forced an interception and a fumble, which led to cornerback Wonderful Terry recovering the football for a 95-yard touchdown. The Illini return to action and look to improve to 3-0 against Washington in Seattle this Saturday. Game time is slated for 3 p.m., and the game will be televised.

SPORTS BRIEFS: Running back Ray Rice released by Baltimore Ravens and suspended by NFL indefinitely for punching wife Three-time pro bowl running back Ray Rice was released by the Baltimore Ravens and suspended indefinitely by the National Football League on Monday. The news of Rice’s suspension comes the same day a graphic, disturbing video surfaced of Rice knocking out his wife with a blow to the head in an elevator from earlier this year. The video was first reported by media outlet TMZ. Previously, Rice had already been suspended for two games by the NFL. However this suspension was raised indefinitely following the release of the
video where Rice strikes his fiancée at the time. The Ravens and head coach John Harbaugh told reporters that the team had not seen the video before it was released by TMZ. Rice, 27, said in a press conference in July that his actions were “inexcusable” and that he and his wife were seeking counseling. The fight between Rice and Janay Palmer happened inside a hotel elevator in Atlantic City, NJ in Feb. Rice and Palmer then married on March 28. The Ravens made a statement to all fans saying that any Ray Rice jerseys and merchandise can be returned and exchanged at stadium stores. Before Rice can even consider playing again in the NFL, he will have to seek out commissioner Roger Goodell for approval. The shocking video of Rice’s knockout blow to his wife can be viewed at TMZ Sports. JOSH TOLENTINO/SPORTS REPORTER
