Campus bookstore ‘bill-ding’ connections with students through duck hunt Taylor Fox Reporter
President’s Day was a rather eventful day at the campus Barnes & Noble. In an initiative to inform Indiana State students of all the opportunities available to them, Barnes & Noble hid 15 rubber ducks around campus Monday. Students who found one of these ducks could exchange it at the bookstore for various prizes. These prizes included scarves, t-shirts, phone cases, or a drink from the café inside of the store. These ducks were part of an effort to spread the message about Barnes & Noble’s Monday evening game night, which is just one of the many events available to ISU students throughout the academic year. Ashley Mason, the manager in charge of this initiative, was inspired to host this event by the low number of students ventur-
ing into the store after the beginning of each semester when they need their textbooks. This is the second duck hunt Barnes & Noble has held. They also hosted an egg hunt at the beginning of the 2018 fall semester. Barnes & Noble is continuously hosting fun events like this one and plans on having gold coins around St. Patrick’s Day and another egg hunt for Easter. “We’re here more than just for textbooks,” is the message Mason said she hopes to send to the students with events like this one. Barnes & Noble, as well as many other businesses around the Terre Haute area, have special events the first Friday of each month. At Barnes & Noble, every “First Friday” event is themed, with this upcoming March 1 being Dr. Seuss themed. There will be crafts, games and buy one get one
café drinks available. Mason highly recommends students to come check out First Fridays and really get to know Terre Haute better. Events are not the only time fun activities are accessible within the store, as there is a pile of board games in the corner of the café available for use anytime. The easiest way to stay informed of upcoming events, according to Mason, is to follow Barnes & Noble on Instagram and Facebook. Followers also get the perk of clues as to where the special items, in this case ducks, are hidden. Clues will also be posted for future hunts such as the Easter egg hunt and the gold coin hunt. These hidden items are easily found in common areas such as the Hulman Memorial Student Union, inside and outside of the recreation center, and even in the Towers.

Alumna helps students ‘Bridge the Gap’ of paying for college ISU Marketing
Indiana State University alumna Lois “Jo” Einstandig has pledged $250,000 to support the university’s need-based Bridge the Gap scholarship campaign. Finances -- not academics -- are often the reason students drop out of college. Bridge the Gap scholarships provide the funding students need between the financial resources they have (financial aid, family contributions, etc.) and their full cost of attendance. “When I learned about the financial hardships many motivated students face, it struck me as really unfortunate -- for people to want to be educated and not to have the resources,” said Einstandig of Terre Haute. “If young people are wanting to learn, let’s give them the resources to do that. Everyone deserves the opportunity to earn an education.” Einstandig gave a lead gift of $50,000 with a pledge to give $250,000 total over the next five years. “Jo Einstandig is the matriarch of our Sycamore family,” said Andrea Angel, vice president for the Division of University Advancement and CEO of the ISU Foundation. “Her commitment to students exemplifies the true meaning of being a Sycamore. Her lead gift to the Bridge the Gap scholarship campaign has inspired others to give and join Jo in educating the next generation of leaders.” Einstandig, ‘61, GR ‘67, received both of her elementary education degrees from Indiana State. She was employed with the Vigo County School Corp. She also served as vice president for Jebb’s Inc. for 20 years and vice president of Jelba Inc. in Terre Haute. The Bridge the Gap initia-
tive resonated with Einstandig because she recalls living on a strict budget while earning her degrees. “I worked and went to school while I was earning my degrees. I was able to graduate without taking out any loans,” she said. “I think that’s why I’m a little generous. I’ve lived through that, and I think you should help where you can, if you have the resources to do so.” In 2018, the ISU Alumni Association honored Einstandig with the Distinguished Alumni Award. She and her late husband, Jerry, received the Distinguished Service Award honoring their philanthropy to the university in 1997. They were co-chairs of the President’s Scholars Golf Outing committee to support student scholarships. As a co-founder of the Ladies Tee to help raise funds for female student-athletes at Indiana State, Einstandig has served on the committee since the event’s founding more than 10 years ago. She is also involved with the ISU Foundation Board, President’s Society, Book and Torch Society and Alumni Council. “The university gave so much to me. Even though Jerry didn’t go to Indiana State, we both felt like we needed to give back,” she said. “Indiana State means everything to me. I’m in the position I am today because of Indiana State.” Einstandig serves with the Union Hospital Foundation, Wabash Valley Community Foundation, Delta Gamma Sorority, 100 Women Who Care and P.E.O. She has obtained the secretary position and served on the committee for directors and board of governance for the ISU Foundation Board of Directors and Wabash Valley Community Foundation.

Black love celebrated on Valentine’s Day Nicole Nunez Reporter
This past Thursday, Black Student Union hosted their Black Love event to show support and educate others on the importance of diverse love. The African American Cultural Center was set up with tables and a plethora of Valentine’s Day decorations. Over twenty students attended and it was a wonderful night filled with education, snacks and love. The event was “ran by Black Student Union, Black Graduate Student Association and Student African American Sisterhood,” said Brandon JohnsonArmstead, Black Student Union President. “This is something Ball State University usually does every year, we usually do it
by ourselves, but this is our first time partnering with other organizations just so we can have a bigger and better event.” Many important topics were discussed to help educate student in a calm, welcoming environment. Some topics discussed included “black love, love in black relationships… different relationship topics, sex and things of that nature,” JohnsonArmstead said. Along with the serious discussion came snacks and games. “We got snacks provided, different fruit and chocolate covered strawberries,” said Johnson-Armstead, “We’re gonna have a raffle going on so people can have an opportunity to win prizes and we’ll have an opportunity to play games as well. Some prizes are candy, gift cards to red lobster and the movie the-
ater.” Students were able to learn about love and how it can apply to their own lives. “I think they can learn a little bit of something new about love they didn’t know before,” said Johnson- Armstead. “Something new they can incorporate into their relationships. Especially being a student in college, I know a lot of people do long distance relationships and it’s good to have different advice and have different perspectives from different people.” This event, among many others, help students recognize and celebrate Black History Month here on campus. By incorporating learning with a wonderful night on Valentine’s Day, we work towards becoming more inclusive and accepting.

For Democrats eager to defeat Trump, Kamala Harris promises she knows how to fight Melanie Mason
Los Angeles Times (TNS)
Jenny and Robert Brooks are ready to get the 2020 election season started. Sitting in the audience waiting to see Kamala Harris address her first South Carolina town hall, they spoke of how very ready they are to beat President Donald Trump. Only problem is they’re not sure what kind of candidate it will take to do it. “I’m conflicted. I pretty much support more liberal people like Kamala Harris, but we’ve got to get someone elected,” Jenny, a speech therapist, said Friday at Harris’ town hall in Charleston. She and Robert, who live in a nearby suburb, supported Bernie Sanders in 2016. But now, Robert explained, “I hope it’s someone in the middle.” Such was the test Harris faced as she embarked on a two-day jaunt through South Carolina, visiting barbecue joints and minority-owned boutiques in addition to hosting two widely attended town halls. While Harris is considered in the top tier of a crowded Democratic field, voters in this key state are still weighing whether she — or one of her many competitors — will be the best to take on Trump. “We’re desperate,” one audience member in Columbia said

Ruling affirms students rights accused of sexual misconduct roils Calif. colleges Teresa Watanabe
and Suhauana Hussain
Los Angeles Times (TNS)
Colleges and universities across California are scrambling to revise the way they handle sexual misconduct cases after a state appellate court ruled that “fundamental fairness” requires that accused students have a right to a hearing and to cross-examine their accusers. The decision last month came in a University of Southern California case but applies to all California public and private colleges, and prompted many to immediately halt Title IX investigations while they reshape their procedures. California State University, the University of California and USC, Claremont McKenna and Occidental colleges confirmed that they have made or soon will be making changes. They already had been bracing to do so. In November, U.S. Education Secretary Betsy DeVos proposed controversial new federal rules that would strengthen
the rights of the accused in sexual misconduct cases. The rules would apply to Title IX, which bans discrimination based on sex in educational programs and activities at schools that receive federal funding. At many campuses, investigations are conducted in small, private settings. Accused students are not allowed to directly confront their accusers but may pose questions through a Title IX investigator who meets separately with each of them. Officials and advocates question how academic institutions will be able to handle proceedings more common to courtrooms as well as the effects of potentially harsh confrontations between students. They also wonder about how much new funding, hiring and training will be required to adapt. “We’re looking at a potential fiasco,” said Brett Sokolow, president of the Association of Title IX Administrators. Those changes set off a national backlash. Students accused of sexual misconduct have
will be pivotal to Harris’ White House ambitions. While sticking largely to the broad themes she has laid out in her first month as a candidate, Harris tailored her message to include local issues. Advocating for “smart gun laws,” for example, she immediately called for the closing of the “Charleston loophole,”
which enabled white supremacist Dylann Roof to buy a gun after a three-day waiting period even though a FBI background check had not been completed. He went on to kill nine people at Charleston’s Mother Emanuel AME church in 2015. A bill to extend the waiting period to 10 days advanced in the U.S. House of Representatives this week. Her emphasis on climate change as an “existential threat” included a reference to the debate over off-shore oil drilling, which many of the state’s coastal communities oppose in defiance of the Trump administration, which has sought to expand the practice. “You guys are going to see so much of me here, you’re going to be sick of me by the end of it,” Harris promised her audience in Columbia, as the crowd clapped in approval. Some South Carolinians, such as Ezzell Pittman, a travel agent from Columbia, were drawn in after watching her performance at a town hall televised by CNN last month, where the California senator touted her support for a Medicare for All health care system. Pittman said the concept of universal system appealed to him, but he wanted Harris to explain her plan further. “How is

filed scores of lawsuits arguing that campuses denied them fair hearings. They have won cases in states including California, Ohio, Michigan, Mississippi and New Mexico. California campuses must immediately comply with the appellate court decision, which has sparked a wide range of reactions. “It will protect millions of college students in California from losing their education in a process that’s arbitrary,” said Mark Hathaway, a Los Angeles attorney who has pioneered much of the litigation on behalf of accused students. At Cal State Dominguez Hills, news that those who report sexual misconduct could soon be subject to confrontational hearings unnerved many students interviewed. “As it is, it’s hard to report what happened to you. … ” said Mariah Rubira, a senior who was interviewed as a witness in one campus sexual misconduct case and said the current process
The plea is poignant in its urgency, a time-is-running-out appeal published in a Baltimore newspaper more than 40 years after emancipation. Ann Whaley, 101, is looking for relatives sold away from her. Before she dies, she wants to see them. “I am very anxious to get in direct correspondence with them,” she wrote. “Anything you can do for me, an ex-slave, will be highly appreciated.” Whaley’s beseeching words — which appeared in the Baltimore Sun on Aug. 26, 1911 — are about to reach a new audience. On Monday, they will be read from a stage at Villanova University as a cast of 75 area residents and students bring former slaves’ published petitions to life in “Last Seen: Voices from Slavery’s Lost Families.” The performance will be a compilation of classified ads, letters and articles printed in newspapers in the decades following the 1863 signing of the Emancipation Proclamation: mothers searching for their children, husbands for their wives, daughters and sons for their parents, siblings for each other. “You think of emancipation as this magic wand of freedom,” said director Valerie Joyce, chair of Villanova’s theater and studio art department. “But 50 years after, (families) are still placing ads for the people they lost” in a “search that reveals the open wounds that were left long after slavery ended.” The production was born of an online database created in 2017 by Judith Giesberg, a history professor and Civil War scholar at Vil-

Walt Disney Co. archivist Dave Smith, an ‘unsung hero’ who cataloged company secrets, dies at 78 Daniel Miller
and Todd Martens
Los Angeles Times (TNS)
For almost 50 years, those within and without the Walt Disney Co. had a simple response when it came to almost any question regarding the history of the entertainment giant: “Ask Dave.” Whether seeking obscure ephemera, wondering whether Prince Charming has a real name or needing a long outof-date contract, Dave Smith no doubt had the answer. Smith, who created and maintained the Walt Disney Archives for 40 years, died Friday, the Walt Disney Co. said. While the company did not release an official cause of death, those who knew him said he had been in fragile health for much of the past year. He was 78. A steward of the company’s vast repository of intellectual property, Smith cataloged the company’s secrets and debunked myths. The archives, housed at Disney’s Burbank headquarters, have long been essential for animators, executives and Imagineers in need of research help — or inspiration. In an industry that’s notori-

ous for neglecting its past, Smith stood out as perhaps the most respected, if unheralded, member of a small group of in-house studio historians. Smith is cred-
ited with helping Hollywood understand the cultural value of its past, starting at Disney in 1970 when rival studios were auctioning or dumping their histories.
“This was an era in the movie business where everything that went into the history and the making of films was regarded as a means to an end and dispos-
able,” said Jeff Kurtti, a veteran of Walt Disney Imagineering. He referenced MGM’s infamous 1970 auction, which the Los Angeles Times once described as an “18-day wake for Hollywood.” “That was the same year Dave came into Disney and said: ‘Look at this stuff. This is important,’ ” said Kurtti, who wrote numerous books on Disney and was instrumental in constructing and curating San Francisco’s Walt Disney Family Museum. Smith retired in 2010 but continued to consult for Disney. He was beloved for his willingness to share the company’s history. From the early ‘80s until his death, he answered fan questions via his “Ask Dave” column, most recently published by the company’s fan club publication D23. “After some years behind the scenes at the studio, he became a somewhat more public figure with the rise of Disney fandom and the existence of regional and national conventions — gatherings where he was greeted as a kind of hero,” said film critic and historian Leonard Maltin. Smith was considered by many to be the world’s foremost expert on the company.

indianastatesman.com DISNEY CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2 “People tell me I am,” Smith told the Times in a 2016 interview. “Then again, I don’t know all these facts in my brain … . I look them up in the files of the archives.” In a statement, Disney Chief Executive Robert Iger called Smith an “unsung hero” of the company’s history, noting the archivist’s rescue of “countless documents and artifacts from obscurity.” “We are indebted to him for building such an enduring, tangible connection to our past that continues to inspire our future,” Iger said. Smith was born and raised in Pasadena, the son of educators. A fateful trip to Disneyland in 1956 when Smith was 15 years old forever tethered him to Disney. As Smith told the Times in 2016, he spotted Walt Disney walking through the newly opened theme park and worked up the courage to ask for his autograph. The mogul demurred, saying he didn’t want to draw a huge crowd — but promised to mail Smith an autograph if he would write him. Smith did his part, and Disney followed through. “I’ve always wondered, what if he would

I think this change would just push people back into silence.” Suzanne Taylor, University of California’s interim systemwide Title IX coordinator, said UC began exploring how to create a “fair and compassionate” hearing model after DeVos unveiled her proposed rules, but Taylor said the court ruling has given that effort “more urgency.” She said the process will take time, but the university expects to issue an interim policy in the next few weeks. Under UC’s current process, questions from both accuser and accused are submitted to the Title IX investigator, who may choose not to ask some questions deemed “harassing.” “Obviously we have to comply with the law, and we will,” Taylor said. “We’re really going to do everything we can to protect both our community

The questions I could have asked him. It would have saved me a lot of time!” After earning a bachelor’s degree in history and a master’s degree in library science from the University of California at Berkeley, Smith was able to reunite with Disney. In 1970 — four years after the animation tycoon died — the company hired him to be its first archivist. When Smith created the archives, it was a one-man operation; by 2016, the workforce had grown to 24 people. Paula Sigman Lowery was hired by Smith in 1975 after graduating from UCLA’s librarian program with a specialty in children’s literature. While continuing to consult today for the company, she recalled that during her 20 years working closely with Smith, he would engage the staff in many of his passions, from U.S. history to musical theater and travel, which came with slide shows of his expeditions at lunch. He also made sure new hires under-

She said she did not know yet whether any closed cases would need to be reopened. Cal State, USC and Claremont McKenna College expect to issue interim policies soon. Occidental College has made changes. Stanford already allows cross-examination in a hearing. The case that triggered the ruling involved Bryce Dixon, a former USC football player who was accused of sexually assaulting a female student in 2014. In a Jan. 4 decision, a three-member panel in the Second Appellate District unanimously found that Dixon was denied a fair hearing. The appeals court reversed a trial court ruling that Dixon had violated the student code of conduct and USC did not
appeal. The court ruled that in cases where students are facing “serious discipline,” such as a suspension or expulsion, and the credibility of witnesses is key, a university must permit cross-examination of “adverse witnesses” at a hearing either in person or via such means as videoconferencing. The person who investigates the case, the court said, cannot also decide whether the allegations are true. That model, used by USC and many other universities, the court ruled, improperly “places in one individual the overlapping and inconsistent roles of investigator, prosecutor, fact-finder, and sentencer.” The court ruling appears to allow cross-examination through a neutral intermediary, but DeVos wants to let students or their attorneys on both sides do the questioning. Scores of universities, including the UC and CSU systems, have voiced opposition to such direct questioning.
stood that a job in the archives was not a place to explore one’s fandom. Disney archivists were strictly forbidden from being Disney collectors themselves. “He said this right at the very beginning,” she said. “If you’re interested in Disney and working at the Walt Disney Archives, you can’t be a collector yourself because that’s a conflict of interest. You can be interested, and you can be passionate about a certain aspect of it; yet if there was any sort of a fan interest, it had to be subdued subservient to your overall interest in what you were preserving.” Smith spent decades stocking the archives with a trove of valuable items. The collection includes such varied artifacts as Walt Disney’s parents’ marriage certificate from 1888; the original script for “Steamboat Willie,” Mickey Mouse’s debut; ticket No.1 to Disneyland; and a 20foot model of the Black Pearl ship from the first “Pirates of the Caribbean” movie. All of it has been preserved alongside more mundane material such as training manuals for theme park workers and DVDs of recent films. “He liked seeking out things — the

Smith wrote several books, including “Disney A to Z: The Official Encyclopedia.” The fifth edition, published in 2016, clocked in at more than 850 pages. Smith also served as a debunker of false tales about Disney — including apocryphal yarns about the company’s founder — and told the Times he relished his role as keeper of the “true facts.” “That’s one thing the archive has always tried to do,” he said. Lowery said such a mission had two key effects. One, it allowed academics and researchers to find accurate info, resulting in serious writings that advanced pop culture as a work of art. Second, it aimed to instill a deep sense of tradition in those who joined the company. “That was really the key mission of the archives, so that people working on projects today for tomorrow would know what they had available to them,” she said. “We always believed that you can’t know where you’re going unless you understand where you’ve been.” Smith is survived by his sister.

The database, which continues to grow as more ads are transcribed, has been a boon to the keepers of family histories. The Rev. Dr. Mark Kelly Tyler, of Mother Bethel, found a great-great-great-greatgrandfather, the Rev. J. W. Devine of Pittsburgh, mentioned in an ad as a contact for former slaves seeking their families. Last spring, Giesberg and Jerrido traveled to
Yale University for a conference on digitizing African-American history, where they met a faculty member who suggested using the ads as the basis for a theatrical project. Back at Villanova, Giesberg and Joyce set it in motion, with the hope that other schools will be inspired to follow suit.

the local economy, dining at a famed Charleston barbecue restaurant and purchasing a sequined multicolor jacket at a Columbia clothing shop, explaining it could be a good choice for upcoming gay pride celebrations. While Harris barnstormed South Carolina, her campaign was touting a trio of high-profile California endorsements.

Music Dept. hosts 45th Jazzfest Lauren Raider Reporter
The 45th annual Jazz Fest was held in University Hall Saturday, Feb. 16. Students from Indiana and Illinois came and registered to play in this festival. Registration started at 7 a.m. and performances by the jazz bands started at 8 a.m. Students walked around to get everything set up. Phi Mu Alpha, a music fraternity, set up this event with the help of Kappa Kappa Psi, faculty advisors, and students. “We are one of the fraternities that help with the jazz fest. It’s mainly ran by the sinfonia, but we help out. It takes a lot of cooperation and work between the fraternities and between all of the different faculty that help. Our coordinating advisor, Dr. Eddie Ludema, normally helps coordinate everything and then the sinfonias have one person that helps.” Chris Emmert, Vice President of Programs for Kappa Kappa Psi, said. “It takes everything getting out to all the bands around the counties and everything that here. It all comes down to working well with the directors and with different people just to get everything working together.” This event took a lot to get together. The Jazz Festival was packed full of events from middle and high school band performances, clinics and professional performances. Students walked around from homerooms, to warmups and then to their performance. Music is a big part of ISU. The school of music hosts events from kid friendly concerts to professional music performances. The arts are big on campus. A high school student explained her feelings towards jazz music, and being involved in her jazz band but has requested to remain anonymous. “The reason I enjoy jazz so much is because playing jazz music lights a fire inside my soul. Typically, I am a classical musician, but when I’m performing jazz, a groove just consumes me. Being surrounded by people who share the same passion as you is incredible, the feeling of knowing where you
belong is indescribable” she said. “The jazz world is the most lax yet stern environment to be a part of; it’s the moments where you play with people who feel what you feel and judge what you do. But there is no greater feeling than putting on a show you’re proud of. That is why I continue to pursue playing jazz. It is rewarding, and beyond worth it.” Many students feel the same way about music, because it is an all-consuming environment. Every student walked around with a smile after their performance. Music is a big part of middle and high school for many students, and ISU facilitates that by hosting events to grow bands in Indiana and Illinois. ISU also hosts famous performers that come and teach students. Chris Potter, a famous composer, musician and soloist, came and performed in the University Hall Theater. He has been creating his own music and has appeared on many albums. He performed with the ISU Jazz En-
semble, conducted a clinic and performed an evening concert with the Indiana All-Star Band. Jamey Aebersold, a jazz master and educator, also attended the event with a special clinic. He developed an extensive amount of material for students on fundamentals and improvisation. The awards ceremony was before the evening concert. Logan Williams, the Student Coordinator, explains how bands can register in the future. “Usually they register online, or they send in registration through the mail. They tell us what kind of band they are and when they want to play and we have to figure out the mass schedule,” Williams said. “We have 13 bands, but we usually have more. Last year we had 24, I believe. This year it was a little lower because there was another festival that moved their festival to the same weekend, so they had to pick and choose where they wanted to go.” Regardless of the conflict, the
Oscar telecast will be longer than three hours, producer concedes Frank Lovece Newsday
The producers of the Academy Awards are conceding that despite hopes otherwise, this Sunday’s telecast will run more than three hours. Meanwhile, the Motion Picture Academy separately announced that Bette Midler and Queen will perform and recent Grammy winner Kacey Musgraves will present at the ceremony. “We were hired to deliver a shortened show,” said Donna Gigliotti, co-producer with Massapequa Park native Glenn Weiss, in a New York Times story published Sunday. “How do we do that so you’re not seeing award, award, commercial, award, commercial, award? So boring.” Yet after the Academy reversed course on Friday and said four categories consigned to commercial breaks would return to the live show, the organization asked her if the telecast could still be contained with three hours. “The answer was no,” Gigliotti said. She had hoped the Academy’s decision to forego a host _ after Kevin Hart resigned following past homophobic tweets and jokes for which he has apologized _ would have presented a way to end the show by 11 p.m., when viewership drops off significantly. She said the show at least would begin presenting awards sooner than usual without the need to allot time to a host’s opening monologue or sketch. Eight people from outside the movie industry are being brought in to lead presentations about certain films, the Times said. Tennis champion Serena Williams will address last year’s remake of “A Star Is Born,” one of eight films vying for best picture.

Final voting for the 91st Oscars is now underway.
No other outsiders were named. Meanwhile, the British band Queen, now fronted by the late Freddie Mercury’s stand-in, Adam Lambert, will perform on the show. The biopic of Mercury is a best-picture nominee. On Saturday, Midler tweeted. “So, (drum roll) Ladies and Gentlemen, I will be chanteusing (that’s singing) on the Oscars on Feb 24 ... the nominated song

The same day, country singer Kacey Musgraves, who won four Grammy Awards this year, including album of the year, tweeted a link to a news story reporting that she will present an award.
Approximately 40 students spent their Valentine’s Day at a trivia night meeting new people, answering trivia questions and making bracelets. This event was put on by the Student Union Board, Center for Community Engagement in Dede I from 7-9 p.m. Many groups of friends came to this event since they did not have Valentine’s Day plans. The trivia questions were being announced through the microphone at the front of the room and whoever knew the answer had to quickly stand up before others had the chance. If someone stood up and did not know the answer, the next person seen standing got to answer until someone answered correctly. The trivia questions were over broadly selected topics. There were prizes for whoever got the most trivia questions right at the end of the night. “I did not know many of the answers to the trivia questions, but it was cool to so how intense some of the other students got over the questions. I am glad I came to this event, because I was able to meet some new people and I already knew some of their interests by the trivia questions they answered,” said freshman Gustavo Vargas. For students who did not want to participate in the trivia questions, there were separate
tables set up for bracelet making. There were wide varieties of beads lying out, along with string to construct a bracelet. Students took several different unique ways of doing this. Some made bracelets with their names; some made friendship bracelets, and others made inspirational bracelets with motivational terms. Emily Flener, senior and ASE of Rhoads Hall, was interested in making motivational bracelets. When asked why she chose to do this she shared that she did a similar activity in her building. “The activity I hosted for my building was meant to get the students to think about the things they value in college. Most students do not have a strong answer to this question and this activity was meant to find a deeper meaning of why they are in college. This taught me a lot about the students in my building and I think it gave them the opportunity to get to know each other better as well,” said Flener. This activity was meant to make students think about their values and what means the most to them, while giving them the opportunity to relax and enjoy time with friends. The Union Board plans to host more events like this in the future. Check out the campus calendar online to find more events similar to this one.

How a pot of beans can change the way you think about cooking Dickerman’s hearty bean soup, veggie tacos, crostini ... It’s the kind of holistic, intuitive approach to cooking that can take a long time to develop on your own. It’s also the kind of approach that can use a little renewal _ some fresh ideas, new thoughts _ if you’re already there. And even an old friend like beans can be inspiring. ___
Bethany Jean Clement The Seattle Times (TNS)
A pot of beans: Cooking doesn’t get much more basic than that. Beans might be cute (especially pretty heirloom varieties), and well-made beans make a tasty, cheap side dish. But that seems to be about the extent of it. What are beans going to teach you? A novice cook can learn a lot from a pot of beans _ and while this might sound funny, a more experienced cook can have a lot of fun with one _ from Seattle food writer Sara Dickerman’s new “Secrets of Great Second Meals: Flexible Modern Recipes That Value Time and Limit Waste.” Dickerman’s “Lazybones Beans” take four and a half hours (or even overnight) to cook, but only about five minutes to put together. They’ve got a little special stuff thrown in _ a chile pepper, a whole head of garlic, herbs _ to make them extra-tasty, but they’re basic at heart. It’s where Dickerman goes from there _ where she can take you and your beans _ that’s interesting. “WHERE TO PUT YOUR BEANS ONCE YOU HAVE COOKED THEM” shouts a section after the recipe. This sounds funny, too, but what follows makes eminent sense: Dickerman says to use your beans lots of different ways, like, “Simply, as a side dish; Soupily, to add heft to a soup or stew ... “ I love her neologism “Saladly,” where she says beans would love to be put with “a sharp vinaigrette” and veggies (fresh or cooked), or in a green goddess salad, or a warm bean salad. Some of the beyond-side-dish bean-serving suggestions carry page numbers for specific recipes; some are simple one-liners, like, “Smoothly, blended up with olive oil, lemon juice and garlic” for a hummus-type spread or dip. “LEARN TO LOVE YOUR LEFTOVERS!” the cover of “Secrets of Great Second Meals” screams, and you can also approach the book from another way around: a handy chart in the back asking “What’s on hand?” Even

those comfortable enough in the kitchen to figure out what to do with, say, leftover chicken will probably find something new: Beyond chicken salad or enchiladas, the curious cook is referred to recipes for congee, fritters, a tomato-ginger curry, a “Braise-y Tomato Sandwich” and more. Your beans, according to the table, can take you to
LAZYBONES BEANS From Sara Dickerman’s “Secrets of Great Second Meals: Flexible Modern Recipes That Value Time and Limit Waste” Time: 4 { hours (5 minutes active) Makes about 3 cups 1 cup dried beans, such as cannellini 1 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste 1 small whole dried chile, such as chile de arbol or japones 1 garlic head, top one-third cut off 1 carrot, peeled 3 or 4 thyme sprigs 1 bay leaf 1 tablespoon olive oil 1. Preheat the oven to 275 degrees Fahrenheit. 2. Rinse the beans well; drain; and place them in a 3- or 4-quart ovenproof saucepan with 6 cups cold water, salt, chile, garlic, carrot, thyme, bay leaf and olive oil. Cover the pot, and cook the beans for 4 { hours (when they will be tender) or even overnight (when they will be very tender). You can also use a slow cooker on low for this method; if so, start checking the beans around 6 hours in. (Note that before cooking in a slow cooker, kidney beans should be boiled for 10 minutes, just in case your slow cooker isn’t hot enough to kill a potentially stomach-upsetting toxin, phytohemagglutinin, known as kidney bean lectin.) 3. Taste and season with more salt if necessary. Pluck the thyme sprigs, chile, garlic head and carrot out of the broth, and let the beans cool in their broth. To store, refrigerate beans in their broth in an airtight container after cooling; they keep well for 3 days, or you can freeze them in their liquid. Strain before serving. Note: You can use both the cooking broth and the cloves from the cooked garlic in soups and bean purees.

Fear is the No. 1 reason for writer’s block Tessa Shepard Columnist
The worst words for anyone trying to write a paper of any kind are the words “writer’s block.” I am a writer and I love writing whether people read what I am working on or absolutely no one does. Writing calms me down and allows me to think clearly. Yet, I am going through a hard time because I have the worst writer’s block. I have written three articles and I do not like any of them, I will never send them to be published because I cannot even get through them myself. Perhaps the best way to work through this is to write about it in hope that it will allow me to write again and maybe help you. I know I am not the only college student going through a dilemma, so maybe I can help others with methods to push through. According to Goins Writer, there are 14 tricks to help. There is a section called, “timing” which states that perhaps it is not the right time for a writing assignment. That is great on paper but my professors do not care if the “timing” is off, because I have deadlines and dates that I have to make. The next method is to “go for a walk.” If you are like me, you love
nature but the fact that it is 20 degrees outside makes going for a walk miserable. In just about any other season, especially in the summer, I can say that going outside does help with my writing. For me it is taking my dog on a walk or something simple like walking outside and feeling the sun on my face. According to Business Insider, being outside helps fight depression and helps with memory. In this article, they explain when people spend more than one day outside doing activities such as camping; they found lower levels of cortisol in their blood than before they spent time outdoors. Cortisol is a chemical in the body that is a sure sign of stress. Another suggestion the authors of the article stated is “to get your blood flowing” by doing physical activity. Specifically for this article, I am currently doing 15 jumping jacks and 10 sit-ups and see if writing becomes easier. Whew! I’m back and once I let myself catch my breath, I am actually more able to get my thoughts out. Which makes sense because your brain is an organ that needs good blood circulation in order to work at its best. Yet another example from the article is to change your surroundings. I am going to step out of my room, go somewhere different,
Commentary: New York dodged an Amazon bullet. Wisconsin still faces a bazooka Tim Culpan
Bloomsberg News
Amazon.com Inc.’s decision to ditch its plans for a New York headquarters doesn’t augur well for governments and corporations intent on using taxpayer money to fund job-creation schemes. Many in New York, and on the left, are celebrating their victory over big, bad Amazon; they should spare a thought for the people of Wisconsin who are stuck with the boondoggle known as Foxconn. From the outset, I warned that it was a deal with all the hallmarks of Terry Gou deal-making. Gou is the founder and chairman of Foxconn Technology Group, the Taiwanese electronics giant that makes Apple Inc. iPhones and almost every other tech gadget in the world. From Brazil to Indonesia, and throughout China, Gou has a history of schmoozing with politicians who become enchanted by his zeal and are left with the belief that their beloved town will become the next iPhone City. My parody letter from Gou to President-elect Donald Trump served as a warning. That didn’t stop Scott Walker, the governor of Wisconsin at the time, from becoming the latest leader to be hypnotized by the perceived greenbacks and glory from cozying up to Foxconn. The result was one of the largest corporate welfare packages in U.S. history, with Trump himself happy to take the credit. What Amazon got out of New York pales in comparison to the largesse Wisconsin offered Foxconn. In its Nov. 13 press release announcing the New York deal, Amazon noted that it would re-
ceive $1.525 billion of direct incentives based on the creation of 25,000 jobs — $61,000 each. That figure climbs when you consider other incentives and tax credits. The initial deal with Foxconn had Wisconsin dishing out as much as $1 million per job. Amazon announced that it would invest $2.5 billion in Long Island with $10 billion in incremental tax revenue over 20 years as a result of that investment and the jobs created. Foxconn said it would invest $10 billion in Wisconsin to manufacture high-end LCD panels for televisions, computers, cars and other devices staffed by an initial 3,000 jobs that would rise to 13,000. Not even Terry Gou would be bold enough to claim they would assemble iPhones in the state. That $10 billion figure should have been the first warning sign for the people of Wisconsin — including those responsible for looking after the interests of its citizens — because it’s more than Foxconn spends in five years worldwide. Amazon’s $2.5 billion figure looked relatively sedate, but deserved close examination. Also worthy of inspection is the salary claims each made. Amazon said its jobs would have an average salary of $150,000 a year. According to data compiled by Glassdoor, level II software development engineers at Amazon earn an average of $115,917 a year (going as high as $158,000), while warehouse associates pull in $26,775 annually. Remembering the law of averages, for every job paying $100,000, Amazon would need to create a job paying $200,000 just to maintain that magic $150,000 figure.

and see if this idea helps. Fifteen minutes have passed and I am now sitting in the new Human and Health Services building on campus and will write the remainder of this article here. Another suggestion is to “play” so I am going to pull out some purple sparkly slime and play with it in public like a seven year old. After about five minutes, all I can say is I now need to wash my hands and I want to play with more stuff and not finish this article. That backfired.

So why should it for us writers? We need to identify the real reason for the words not flowing in order to overcome writers block and write. In many of the articles I have read they say that fear is the number one reason for writer’s block. Will my article win the Pulitzer Prize? No, but I am not sorry for writing it. Maybe my underlying hold-up was my fear of producing an unworthy article. I appreciate what I have learned and hope it will help someone who reads this.
The history that doesn’t make it into our textbooks Erin Bradshaw Columnist
Christopher Columbus did not discover America, the Vikings did. We all know that some of the information in our history books isn’t completely factual because it can depend on perspectives and how the story is reiterated. It is also known that there are key parts of American history left out of those books. Over the years, bits and pieces of unfortunate American history have been released. We now know that slaves were a part of building the Washington monument, and that Japanese people were put in internment camps after Pearl Harbor. There were also some events in history we were never taught and happened not that long ago. Between the years of 19321972, there was a group of African Americans in Macon County, Alabama that were forced into a group study for syphilis. The study initially began when there was not a treatment for syphilis, but then extended after the treatment was discovered. There were 600 men tricked into this study under the premise they would be receiving free medicinal help with the disease. Most of these men were illiterate sharecroppers, making them easy to take advantage of. The U.S. Public Health Service, appointed by the government, conducted the study. The president for the duration of this study was Franklin D. Roosevelt. Subjects were given placebos such as supplements and generic headache medicine. PHS also convinced physicians working in this county not to treat the men, despite the cure, penicillin, being discovered in 1947. Researchers at the Tuskegee Institute claimed in order for them to accurate information,

He said his way of overcoming writer’s block is to and I quote, “I treat writer’s block as the myth it is.” This article is amazing to read and I strongly encourage you to look it up but he says that writer’s block will only effect writers and no one else. He used an example of someone calling into work and telling the boss that they cannot come in because they have writer’s block and how that would never slide:

they couldn’t help the men who died or suffered severe health issues from the study. It took until 1973 for the case to be brought to Congress, in which the survivors of the case received 10 million dollars as compensation. How this continued for so long, nobody knows. The Nuremburg Code was created in 1947 following the prosecution of Nazi Officers which stated that research conducted on human subjects had to be voluntary. However, this apparently did not apply to African Americans. Following this horrible occurrence, it took until 1997 for former President Clinton to issue an apology to whom the study effected. Another similar study occurred between the years of 1946-1948 in Guatemala. A U.S. study caused over 700 citizens were intentionally infected with syphilis as well as being exposed to many other sexually transmitted diseases without their consent. The study wasn’t uncovered until 2010 when Susan Reverby, a historian, was doing research on the Tuskegee Study and found records on this study, which she then shared with the government. After uncovering this study, former President Obama personally called the Guatemalan president to apologize for the horrific experiments. During the same time period, many American families, working for Ford Motor Company, were sent over to Gorky, Russia during World War II. The Werner family was one of those families. A book called Dancing Under the Red Star is the story of Margaret Werner, the only American woman to survive Stalin’s gulag. Her story begins with her family being faced with the decision to stay at the Ford factory
in Detroit and be poor, or move to Gorky with the hopes of being more prosperous. Her family left for Russia in 1932 with over four hundred other Ford workers and their families. Upon arriving, they were put in poverty stricken areas, a product of the communist regime, and given little to no food and housing. After living in the area for a while, family members began to disappear. Margaret’s father was arrested for having committed “treason.” The American government offered them no necessities. Many of the families starved to death because of lack of money or poor conditions. The Germans soon began to bomb portions of Russia, including the city these families lived in. They had to take cover in hide with no help from Russian or American officials. After the war ended, many thought the terror was over. This proved not to be the case. Margaret was unjustly arrested and taken from her mother. She sent to a labor camp, Inta, in Northern Siberia in 1948. It was until 1961 that she finally returned to the United States. By this time, Henry Ford was already dead. Besides having involvement in Russia, he also was involved with Germany, which was concealed by Washington at the time in order to protect Wall Street Elites. Many people aren’t aware of this event which is a part of American History. Some of us are blind to history that happened right here in our own country. We are only taught what the government thinks we need to know and not what we should know, good or bad. Instead of simply accepting the information given to you, do your research and find the facts.

Patricia Murphy: Hillary Clinton is running again, sort of Patrica Murphy
CQ - Roll Call (CNS)
Patricia Murphy: Hillary Clinton is running again, sort of By Patricia Murphy CQ-Roll Call Democrats have four qualified, tough, smart, female senators running for president. And that might be a problem, because they just tried that against Donald Trump and it didn’t work in 2016. It’s not that Sens. Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar and Kirsten Gillibrand wouldn’t each make an excellent president. Like Clinton, it’s clear that they have all put a great deal of thought into how they’ll run and how they would lead. They’ve done the hard work of designing policy-specific platforms; they’ve built their early organizations; and all four have put together travel-heavy, strategic early-state rollouts. So far, they have come off as professional, earnest and conventional _ in other words, so similar to Clinton that it’s hard to see why the results of their campaigns against Trump would be any different than hers was. I’ll add right now that it’s completely unfair to compare the female candidates only to one another, and equally unfair to compare them to Clinton, as if simply being a woman puts them all in one campaign lane and male candidates in another. But consider what voters know about each of them from their very first presidential introductions _ four women, all Democrats, all senators, all lawyers, and all promising to address income inequality, the cost of health care, climate change, and the country’s broken campaign finance system. Likewise, Clinton, a

Indiana State retires jerseys for Boeglin and Nicks David Cruz Sports Editor
It was eventful weekend for ISU athletics and a huge day for No. 22 as Melanie Boeglin and Carl Nicks came back for the festivities of Alumni weekend at the Hulman center. ISU welcomed back 21 former players and managers and three former head and assistant coaches as they all joined in the celebration of Nicks’ and Boeglin’s outstanding achievement. Boeglin is one of ISU’s most prolific scorers as she still holds the most points in a single game with 46. Nicks attended ISU in 1976 as a freshman and returned to ISU his junior year after spending a year in Florida. He help the Sycamores reach the Final-Four as well as to make an appearance in the NCAA National Championship game. Boeglin had an outstanding career at ISU being the Jack Stiles MVC Player of the Year, including a MVC Defensive Player of the year in 2006. I had a chance to catch up with her before tip-off against Loyola-Chicago. “I am just super excited, I mean I’m beyond humbled for this recognition but to be able to share this moment with friends, teammates and family members and the entire Terre Haute community really means a lot to me.” Boeglin was overjoyed with emotions when she first got the phone call that she was getting the opportunity to see her No. 22 hang in the rafters of the Hulman center. “Oh my goodness, I was in tears it was such an amazing thing to hear. To receive such an honor at such a young age it is
incredibly humbling.” Boeglin will now be one of four players, including Carl Nicks, who thinks that adding two more jerseys will set a precedent for future athletes at Indiana State, “I think back to my playing days, and every gym you went into you looked up in the rafters and you saw the names and who was being recognized, so I think that last impact on the program and other athletes coming in here playing against Indiana State, is an awesome legacy to be part of.” An interesting fact about Boeglin is that both of her parents graduated from Indiana State. She describes her feelings about not only putting that name up there for herself but for her family too. “Honestly that is the best part of it. My parents sacrificed so much throughout my career. They were literally at every game, home and away, so for them to get to cherish this night with me is so special. They get to come to games now and see my number in the rafters so I hope they take a lot of pride in that.” The following day Mr. Nicks got his share of the spotlight before the men’s basketball team faced off against Loyola as well. “I had some honors in my life, but this is by far is one of the biggest. I am overjoyed and excited, it is an unbelievable feeling and great honor to be going to up as one of four all time players and to be up their with my former and respected teammate (Larry Bird) is even bigger honor.” He also gave us his insight on what his achievement means to current and future players that more than two numbers
Sycamores baseball opens 2019 season with clean sweep of Jacksonville University Jay Adkins Reporter
The Indiana State Sycamores Baseball team opened their 2019 season in Jacksonville, Florida with a three-game sweep of the Jacksonville University Dolphins. It’s the first time the Dolphins have been swept in sessions stadium since the 2014 season. It’s also the first opening-season sweep by the Sycamores since Indiana State swept Texas Southern University in 2010. The Sycamores started off the weekend with a dominating 7-1 victory Friday night. Indiana State went into a high-scoring frenzy early in the matchup, with five runs in the first two innings. The Sycamores outhit Jacksonville 10-6. The Dolphins left nine runners on base while the Sycamores stranded six runners. In Saturday’s matchup against the Dolphins, the Sycamores went into an even bigger scoring frenzy, scoring 13 runs to go up 2-0 against the Dolphins. Junior catcher Max Wright led the Sycamores with three hits, including a double while driving in four runs. Senior pitcher Tyler Ward struck out three dolphins and allowed a pair of runs in the outing. Redshirt sophomore starting pitcher Collin Liberatore held Jacksonville scoreless in
