ISU president and Terre Haute mayor discuss future of Homecoming Rileigh McCoy News Editor
President Curtis and Terre Haute Mayor Duke Bennett held a press conference to discuss Tuesday’s meeting between city and university officials regarding Homecoming issues yesterday afternoon. Yesterday’s meeting was a “debrief ” of the activities of the Homecoming weekend. According to President Curtis, roughly 40 people met representing all facets of Homecoming to provide their thoughts going forward. “What we want to share with you today is we’ve committed between the city and the university to work together on this,” said Curtis. “The reason we’re starting this now is we intend the spend the next 11 months in preparation for next year with the intention to have the type of event here in the community that we’re all proud of.” Curtis explained that going forward she would like to see a safe, enjoyable, and productive Homecoming for ISU. This is something that she believes Homecoming should be. “That’s kind of the goal here,” said Mayor Duke Bennett. “To make sure that everything that we do helps get us to that
Bennett point where we need to be.” Curtis mentioned a solution to the issues of the ‘walk’ and other incidents that occur on Homecoming would be to start a service-learning project for students to provide their input. “We’re gonna have a service learning project that will begin in January with students on this campus taking on the topic,” said Curtis. “And talking about how do we study it, how do we get in touch with
Curtis other universities who have had similar situations and resolved them, find out what practices are engaged in on different campuses, and be very proactive in how we plan in events for next year.” One thing Curtis mentioned that she didn’t want to get lost in translation is the good work that students and the Terre Haute community have done to celebrate the week-long Homecoming activities. “This was my first ISU Homecoming
and I learned about the activities that take place, but this was my first opportunity to experience it,” said Curtis. “After finishing with the great parade that we had here downtown, I purposefully drove down Wabash to the stadium in order for me to firsthand see that. And it’s become very evident for us what things we need to take on.” Curtis explained that “the amount of available alcohol consumption is a challenge” and that the university plans to “take that head on.” She further went on to say that she hopes university officials and students can work together to find some alternatives while on ‘the walk’ route to “provide a healthier and more positive experience” for students. Bennett explained that from the city’s perspective, it is up to them to make sure that everything is in compliance with city code. Curtis explained that this would be a “multi-pronged approach on campus.” SGA was present at the “debrief ” on Tuesday and Curtis plans to keep them involved, as well as reaching out to Fraternities and Sororities to recognize the good work and figure out how to move forward to make Homecoming a better, safer event.
Haunting in the Hulman: bringing Halloween to you Lauren Rader Reporter
Halloween is here, and Union Board has decided to celebrate it like they have for the past four years. On Oct. 29 and 30, Union Board set up and hosted ‘Haunting in the Hulman’ in the three Dede rooms from 7-10 p.m. Each room had a different theme. As students walked in, they were asked by a grim reaper to spin the wheel. This chose the path they walked, which ultimately led to the same ending, where Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, and Michael Myers scared them. Many different scary characters spooked the students along the path as well. This event was free of admission but students brought their I.D.’s to swipe in. Students on Union Board worked this event by helping with setup, working at the desk to check people in and sign waivers, and by dressing up and acting in the haunted house. Special Events Chair for Union Board, Jalen Ellis, was thankful for his opportunity to help and plan his first huge event. “I can’t put into words what I’m most excited for about this event. I just want this event to work out. Since before I got here, I’ve been planning and trying to get this
event together and see what I’m working with.” Ellis said. “This is probably the biggest event I’ve done so far, because I got my position at beginning of the school year.” Union Board worked in collaboration with campus life to get the event set up. They purchased items from WalMart and different stores to get the full effect of a haunted house. Students looked forward to going in and being scared. “I’m looking forward to seeing the decorations when I get inside. I love the candy and the outfits. You get to be anything you want to be on Halloween that you normally can’t be,” freshman Becca Ragsdale said. “I just got into haunted houses in the past few years because my family thought they were too scary when I was younger. I haven’t been to any Union Board events, but I’m excited. Hopefully in the future I can attend more.” The haunted house was offered two nights in a row to make sure Anna Bartley | Indiana Statesman people had the chance to go.

Designers @ State hosted pumpkin carving event Nicole Nunez Reporter
Ongoing investigations into stolen vehicles Alyssa Bosse Reporter
On the evening of Friday October 26th, the Office of Public Safety sent out an email regarding two vehicles that were reported stolen. The two vehicles that were reported missing consisted of a motorcycle and a car, and both were reported on Oct. 26 to ISUPD. The motorcycle was reported missing from lot 10 and the car was missing from North 9th St near Rec East. That evening, the motorcycle was recovered with some damage. Assistant Chief of Police, Michele Barrett, said “It appears the motorcycle was pushed
from campus and ISUPD is still investigating how entry was made to the vehicle.” A suspect was arrested for the theft of the motorcycle by ISUPD; the other theft appears to be unrelated. The motorcycle case was closed with the arrest. The other vehicle was recovered Monday, Oct. 29. Barrett explained that when ISUPD first receives word of events like this, they enter all the vehicles’ information such as license plate numbers and vehicle information numbers into a database. The reason for this is that if any other law enforcement agency were to look up the vehicle’s information, it would alert them that the vehicle was stolen. Barrett along with ISUPD recommends
that, “all students lock their vehicles and keep valuables inside the vehicles and hidden” to try to prevent future incidents like this. Freshman, Shayla Huffman shared her thoughts over the past weekend’s events. “I was a bit caught off guard by the email I received on Friday from Public Safety,” said Huffman. “I thought at first it was kind of scary to think that people on campus are stealing cars. I keep my vehicle on campus and want to take more precautions to ensure the safety of my own car like making sure it’s always locked and that I am not leaving anything important in my car.” At this time the vehicle that was reported missing is still ongoing investigation and ISUPD has no further information.
Designers @ State held a pumpkin carving event this past Tuesday, Oct. 30, to help spread the fall spirit. The event was held at 5 p.m. outside University Hall for Indiana State University staff and students. There was an R.S.V.P on Treehouse, and over 20 people attended to enjoy a fun night that included pumpkin carving and free pizza. The event helped to spread the word about Designers @ State as well. It was a “fun little thing to draw people to our organization,” said Vice President of Designers @ State, Lindsey Drake.Designers @ State is a club intended for graphic designers, but it is open for any student to join. They wish to promote design and hope to gain more members through events like the pumpkin carving night. The organization is affiliated with College of Arts and Sciences, and hopes to see more people join them for future events. With busy schedules and stressful classes, Designers @ State made a fun and free event for students to come and relieve some stress and get away from their studies. The event also provided an outlet to celebrate the Halloween season and get into the autumn spirit. The event was “something to get [everyone] into the fall spirit, to get people informed about our club, to get our name out there, and to get people interested in joining or participating in our events,” said Drake.

Trump sheds light on his legal rationale LA accuses e-cigarette for ending birthright citizenship companies of selling John T. Bennett CQ-Roll Call (TNS)
President Donald Trump on Wednesday signaled that his belief he can legally end U.S. citizenship for children born here is based on the interpretation of five words written in 1868. Democrats say the president is merely threatening to sign — as soon as this week — an executive order to end what’s called “birthright citizenship” as another way to energize his conservative base before Tuesday’s midterm elections. Such an order would surely prompt an immediate court challenge. Trump and his Republican allies, like Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, see automatic citizenship as a “magnet,” in Graham’s words, for undocumented migrants to get onto American soil and establish legal roots via an infant child. End birthright citizenship, Trump and his allies say, and illegal immigration rates will plummet. In a sign of a potential GOP internal struggle ahead, outgoing Speaker Paul D. Ryan of Wisconsin says a constitutional amendment would be necessary. “All persons born or naturalized in the United States
and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside,” states the 14th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. In a Wednesday morning tweet amid a national uproar over his Monday night announcement about the possible executive order, Trump highlighted five words within the amendment. “It is not covered by the 14th Amendment because of the words ‘subject to the jurisdiction thereof,’” he wrote, adding, “Many legal scholars agree … ..” Should he ultimately sign such an order, the U.S. Supreme Court might decide if he is correct on the former. As for the latter, it’s true that ”many” scholars disagree about most constitutional matters — but his mere claim could be enough to drive up conservative turnout in key districts and states. Trump’s goal is to limit Democratic gains in the House and pick up one or more seats in the Senate. And his every move is made with an eye toward his own expected 2020 re-election bid. The White House has yet to describe any internal legal assessment for Trump’s claims about the 14th Amendment and any power
he might have to end birthright citizenship. But there also are questions about whether his order would be legal, since Congress passed a 1952 statute codifying automatic citizenship — which other Western countries have despite Trump’s false Monday night claim to the contrary — into law. Even conservative scholars who want birthright citizenship doubt that a sitting president can do it with the stroke of a pen on an executive order. “On substance, I believe President Trump is right on birthright citizenship — the 14th Amendment does not require it. I do not believe, however, that the president may change the interpretation of the 14th Amendment, which has been in effect for decades, by executive order, as he is reportedly contemplating,” Andrew C. McCarthy, a former chief assistant U.S. attorney, wrote this week for the conservative National Review. “I am in favor of changing the current understanding of birthright citizenship, but I believe such a change must be done by statute to have any hope of surviving court-scrutiny … and even then, I give it less than a 5050 chance,” he wrote.
After discovering more than 2,600 planets, Kepler space telescope is headed for retirement Deborah Netburn and Karen Kaplan Los Angeles Times (TNS)
NASA’s revolutionary planet-hunting Kepler space telescope has run out of fuel and will be retired, the space agency announced Tuesday. During its nine-year mission, Kepler found more than 2,600 planets orbiting stars outside the solar system — including many with the potential for harboring life. Thanks to the spacecraft, scientists have learned that the Milky Way galaxy has more planets than stars. “Before we launched Kepler, we didn’t know if planets were common or rare,” said Paul Hertz, director of the National Aeroonautics and Space Administration’s astrophysics division in Washington, D.C.

and marketing to minors Javier Panzar
Los Angeles Times (TNS)
The Los Angeles city attorney is seeking injunctions against three California-based electronic cigarette companies, alleging that they sell vaping products without proper age verification and market tobacco products to underage people. Investigators at the city attorney’s office were able to purchase vaping devices and nicotine liquids from the companies online using the email accounts of fictitious minors and paying with gift cards, City Attorney Mike Feuer said. The e-cigarette companies did not ask the buyers to provide their birthdates, valid identification, or age attestation, according to court documents filed by the city attorney’s office. The injunction requests come after the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in September announced a crackdown on e-cigarette manufacturers nationwide, citing an “epidemic of nicotine addiction” among American youths. “Underage vaping is an emerging public health epidemic, and luring kids to use dangerous and addictive vaping products, as we allege here, has got to stop,” Feuer said. “In fact, kids shouldn’t have access to these products at all. The lawsuits we filed today send a strong message that if you put children at risk for the sake of profit, you’ll face serious consequences.” The companies named in the lawsuits are Los Angeles-based VapeCo Distribution, its parent company NEwhere Inc. and Santa Barbrara-based Kandypens Inc. The city accuses them of selling vaping products on the internet without the use of appropriate age-verification procedures, selling new tobacco products without FDA approval, not using child-resistant packaging, and targeting young people in their marketing. The city attorney’s office is seeking an injunction to stop those activities. The companies did not respond to requests for comment.
VapeCo and NEwhere operate websites and social media accounts that critics say glamorize vaping by featuring young models, cartoon characters and videos of vaping “tricks,” where smokers blow rings against psychedelic backdrops. Various screenshots of the posts were included in the filing. One of the companies’ retail websites sells liquids for vaping devices that are flavored to mimic sweet candy products like lollipops and doughnuts and come in bright colors. The FDA recently sent a warning letter to the company for marketing a liquid product that resembled a popular brand’s apple juice box. That product is no longer available. The city attorney’s office also alleges that the companies’ various Instagram accounts do not use an “age gate” feature to block minors from accessing content. The city attorney’s office also alleges that Kandypens uses product placement in music videos and in posts by “social media influences” to promote teen usage. The company has an “artists” section on its website that features videos of pop and rap stars using their devices, including one music video for rapper DJ Khaled’s song “No Brainer” that has over 169 millions views on YouTube. In the video, the artist uses a Kandypen device. The court documents allege that Kandypens does not use an “age gate” for its social media content and does not feature the FDA’s required health warning about the addictive properties of nicotine. Data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention indicate that e-cigarettes have become the tobacco product of choice among middle and high school students. In 2017, 11.7 percent of high schoolers who participated in the CDC’s National Youth Tobacco Survey said they had vaped a tobacco product within the last month, up from 1.5 percent in 2011. In addition, 3.3 percent of middle school students called themselves current users of e-cigarettes, up from 0.6 percent in 2011.
Orange County, Fla., approves $10 mill. in hotel taxes for Pulse memorial Stephen Hudak
Orlando Sentinel (TNS)
Orange County commissioners gave final approval Tuesday to a request for $10 million in hotel taxes to build a permanent Pulse memorial and museum at the site of the gay nightclub where 49 people were massacred. The support helps ensure “Pulse will never be erased,” nightclub owner Barbara Poma said. The money, which would be paid over three years, will help the nonprofit onePULSE Foundation buy land around the nightclub, south of Orlando Health System’s downtown campus, and pay design, engineering and architectural costs. Land must be acquired because the club property, about a third of an acre, is not large enough for a museum, which is an important part of the onePULSE plan. “A memorial is to mourn, a museum is to learn,” Orange County Mayor Teresa Jacobs said outside the commission chambers, where she was flanked by Poma. “This will be a sacred space that will tell the story of Pulse and our 49 angels, while ensuring future generations learn from the detrimental impact of hate, bigotry, discrimination and intolerance,” Jacobs said. “This museum sends a clear message that hate will not win and love will always prevail.”
According to the foundation’s proposal, the memorial and museum will be a place to grieve, reflect and learn about the attack on June 12, 2016, that was briefly the worst mass shooting in American history. The foundation’s funding request was one of two approved by commissioners Tuesday. The board also voted to give $4 million to help the Orlando Ballet build an auditorium. Both projects sought a small share of money raised by the county’s tourist development tax, a 6-percent levy added to the cost of short-term lodging at a hotel, resort or room-sharing rentals such as Airbnb and VRBO. Through August 2018, the tax has brought in about $257 million, $22 million ahead of last year’s pace. Hotel-tax revenues have been used to finance the Orange County Convention Center, defray the cost of the Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, upgrade Camping World Stadium and fund Visit Orlando, the region’s marketing arm. The death toll at Pulse was exceeded Oct. 1, 2017, when a gunman on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay hotel in Las Vegas rained more than 1,100 rounds onto a crowd of concertgoers at the Route 91 Harvest music festival, killing 58 people. Last month, onePULSE’s funding request was endorsed by the Tourist Development Tax Application Review Committee, which considered the proposal’s likely return on investment, its organizational plan and

ability to draw tourists. The onePULSE Foundation will receive $4 million this year, $3 million in 2018-19 and $3 million in 2019-20. According to details spelled out in county documents, the properties
onePULSE proposes to buy with the tourist dollars must be within a half mile of Pulse and at least an acre in size. The property sales price cannot be more than 10 percent higher than a county-approved appraisal.

Kiss announce End of the Road World Tour, front-row seats priced at $1,000
George Varga
The San Diego Union-Tribune (TNS)
Kiss will go out with an extended bang, starting in January, when the hard-rocking, pyro-heavy band kicks off its second farewell tour of this century. Billed as both the End of the Road World Tour and The Final Tour Ever, the first leg of Kiss’ upcoming world tour will cover much of North America but skip Mexico, at least for now. It’s set to begin Jan. 31 at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena and conclude April 13 in Alabama at the Birmingham-Jefferson Convention Complex. All initial concert dates and cities, which were announced Monday morning, appear below. Kiss bassist-singer Gene Simmons recently told a Swedish interviewer that the tour will stretch over three years and stop on “all continents.” The California portion of the band’s 2019 tour leg is scheduled to open with a Feb. 7 show at San Diego State University’s Viejas Arena. Fans should expect to pay big bucks for the best seats for the tour. Ticket prices for the Los Angeles show range from $320 to $1,000. The top ticket price for Kiss’ other California dates are as follows: $997 in Fresno; $996.44 in Sacramento; $996 in Anaheim and $1,000 in San Diego. The $1,000 price for each front-row ticket also applies to the band’s farewell tour shows in Dallas, Chicago, Detroit and some other major cities. This may well be a record for tickets for any tour by any rock act. Beyond potential record-setting top ticket prices for an arena concert, the big question for longtime fans is a simple one. Namely, is this really the final Kiss-off? Or will another reunion tour follow sometime in the next decade by the band, which was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012? In 2000 and 2001, the four original member of Kiss embarked on what was billed as the band’s farewell tour, but wasn’t. That farewell tour followed the 1996-97 reunion tour by the four original members of Kiss: Simmons, singer-guitarist Paul Stanley, drummer Peter Criss and lead guitarist Ace Frehley. Criss left the band in 1980, followed by Frehley in 1982. Their roles has subsequently been filled by a number of oth-

er musicians employed by Simmons and Stanley. In a 2000 San Diego Union-Tribune interview to preview Kiss’ farewell tour, Stanley explained: “It’s out of respect for Kiss, and our fans, that we have to stop. I’m a big believer that it’s better to leave early than stay too late, and to quit while you’re still on top.” But more tours followed that farewell tour by Kiss, minus Criss and Frehley. In a 2009 Union-Tribune interview, Stanley was asked to reconcile Kiss’ decision to keep touring with a revamped lineup, rather than _ as he had previously vowed _ quit while the band was still on top. “Um, when I said that, I certainly believed it wholeheartedly,” he replied at the time. “But what I found as I was doing the farewell tour is that I didn’t want to stop, I just wanted to stop playing with a couple of the guys. The reason it was a ‘farewell’ tour is that it was unbearable to play with some of the guys. I realized that to stop the band (for that reason) didn’t make any sense.” By his next Union-Tribune interview in 2012, Stanley was altogether past his “quit while you’re still on top” philosophy. In a previously unpublished segment of that interview, he said: “I’ve always been of the mind that when a performer, or musician, or entertainer, has provided people with so much joy and entertainment in their lives, it ultimately doesn’t fall on the audience to decide when or whether that person should quit or not, (or) whether they are any good.
“In other words, an artist’s or performer’s right is to continue doing what they love _ and the audience’s right is to stop coming (to shows). So I believe a creative person, in any field, should continue until they feel they have nothing left to offer, not necessarily to the audience, but to offer to themselves. You can’t do anything valid, unless you first satisfy yourself. The rest is a bonus.” So why embark on a farewell tour next year? Kiss did not address the impetus for its decision in the Monday morning statement announcing the End of the Road World Tour. The statement reads: “All that we have built and all that we have conquered over the past four decades could never have happened without the millions of people worldwide who’ve filled clubs, arenas and stadiums over those years. “This will be the ultimate celebration for those who’ve seen us and a last chance for those who haven’t. Kiss Army, we’re saying goodbye on our final tour with our biggest show yet and we’ll go out the same way we came in ... Unapologetic and Unstoppable.” Will Frehley or Criss be invited back by Stanley and Simmons to perform at any of the Kiss farewell tour shows? That remains to be seen. End of the Road World Tour tickets for the general public are scheduled to go on sale Friday at 10 a.m. local time. Prices for the VIP packages have not yet been disclosed, but it’s expected they might top the $1,000 front-row ticket price.
The “very limited” Ultimate Kiss Army Experience package includes: a private backstage meet-and-greet and photo opportunity with the band and the opportunity to “(w)atch the whole show from the pit (no fans have ever had access to the pit).” It also includes a “backstage tour with your personal Kiss Concierge including access to areas that only the band and limited members of the crew can visit; beginning by “stepping foot on the holy ground that is the Kiss stage.” Those purchasing the package can can also “sit on” Eric Singer’s “drum stool at his drum kit” and “stand at Paul, Gene and Tommy (Thayer’s) microphones.” And there’s more: they can hold Stanley’s legendary Cracked Mirror guitar, Simmons’ classic Axe bass and Thayer’s signature Epiphone guitar. They can also visit the band’s wardrobe, “where you can see the band’s outfits up close and try on the real Kiss boots. “Along the way we’ll visit all areas of the Kiss production and you’ll meet many members of the crew that keeps the Kiss machine going strong,” the announcement said. Purchasers also get a host of other perks, including access to the “VIP Bar with wine, beer and the Kiss ‘End of the Road’ Signature Cocktail’” and “Lifetime Membership for the Official Kiss Army Fan Club,” which may be of less value once the band’s farewell tour concludes.
Mike Condon thought the email was a joke. Why would Planters, the nation’s seminal peanut brand, want to make a beer with Condon’s tiny Chicago suburban brewery, Noon Whistle? Why would Planters want to make a beer at all? But sure enough, the email was real, and the unlikely result — Mr. IPANut, an IPA featuring 800 pounds of peanuts and the iconic, monocled Mr. Peanut on the 16-ounce can — was released last week. Mr. IPA-Nut will be available for about one month only in Illinois, at the Noon Whistle taproom and in four-packs ($9.99) at better beer stores. The beer is an unlikely pairing of global conglomerate The Kraft Heinz Co. — manufacturer of Velveeta, Jell-O and Kool-Aid, in addition to Planters and other bedrock brands — with a 3-year-old brewery that made fewer than 2,000 barrels of beer last year, none of which was sold beyond the Chicago area. “I said to them, ‘You guys know this is the kind of beer we brew, and this is where we distribute?’ ” Condon said. “And they were like, ‘We’re good with that! That’s what we want!’ ” Planters’ director of marketing, Ashley Tople, said Kraft Heinz, which is headquartered in Chicago and Pittsburgh, wanted to merge the classic pairing of beer and peanuts with a local brewery “that would collaborate with us and let us be part of it.” Noon Whistle brewer and co-founder Paul Kreiner hashed out a handful of ideas that he thought would lend themselves to peanuts. The list included obvious choices, such as imperial brown ale (Kreiner was thinking of a peanut brittle brown ale) or stout. It included more challenging options, such as peanut hefeweizen. At Planters’ request, he also sketched out a possible peanut IPA — which is what the company ended up choosing. One factor that attracted Planters to Noon Whistle was its deft touch with IPA, Tople said: “If we were going to bring a Planters beer to market, we wanted it to be unique and different.” Mr. IPA-Nut is certainly that. The increasingly crowded craft beer industry has seemed to add just about every conceivable ingredient to every style of beer, but peanut IPA has remained a rarity beyond the occasional small-scale experiment — and for good reason. IPAs tend to veer fruity and bitter — not obvious bedfellows for rustic nuttiness. “I like that they picked an IPA be-

Lives are upended by preventable hiking accidents
OPINION
Thursday, Nov. 1, 2018
John McKinney
Los Angeles Times (TNS)
Two hikers died last week after falling from Yosemite’s Taft Point, located high above Yosemite Valley. What exactly happened is still unclear, but they almost certainly stepped off the trail, past the guardrail and passed warning signs before tumbling hundreds of feet over the cliffs. As a hiking expert, my favorite part of the job is encouraging people to trek up to places like Taft Point. But now my enthusiasm for the great outdoors is tempered by worry. There’s been an exponential increase in the number of lost hikers, injured hikers and, worst of all, hikers who die on the trail. In recent weeks, we’ve learned of a California woman who slipped and fell to her death while taking selfies on a trail high above Lake Superior in Michigan, and thrill-seekers suffering severe injuries while leaping off cliffs into shallow pools — just to put the video on their Instagram feed. Why do otherwise smart people do such dumb things in the great outdoors? Bad hiking advice pollutes comments on hiking blogs, Facebook posts and Yelp reviews, so it’s tempting to blame social media. The fault, however, lies not in Instagram stars, but in ourselves. It’s a disconnect from nature, a lack of even basic survival skills, and poor judgment that cause most troubles on the trail. I recall a particularly horrible incident in the summer of 2011 when three college students stepped past the guardrail at the top of Yosemite’s 317-foot high Vernal Fall and into the Merced River. Other visitors pleaded with them to get out of the water, but one hiker slipped and started a chain reaction that ended with all three falling to their deaths. The next day ABC World News called me, as a hiking expert, to comment. “My heart goes out to the families of the victims, as well as to the horrified onlookers who witnessed the tragedy,” I said, “while my head cannot comprehend the decision of the three hikers to step past the guardrail at the top of the falls and into the raging waters.” Since then I’ve had to deliver similar responses when asked about hikers killed and injured at 35-foot Eaton Falls above Pasadena and slender Tangerine Falls in the foothills above Santa Barbara, as well as hikers who died of heat stroke on tame trails in the Santa Monica Mountains and Hollywood Hills. Lately, though, I’ve gotten more blunt. At a recent talk at the Adventure 16 store in West Los Angeles, my hiker safety talk de-evolved into a rant about tourons (tourists-morons) on the trail. I’ve abandoned all subtlety in my guidebooks: “Don’t climb Eaton Falls; people have recently been injured and killed doing this.” And “Last place you want to be in an electric storm is atop Half Dome, forced to make a hurried descent over slippery rock while holding on to wet metal cables.” I’m haunted by the lives turned upside-down, or ended, by hiking accidents that can be prevented. National Park Service studies of accidents that required the agency to launch a search and rescue operation determined that the vast majority of these accidents wouldn’t have happened to people with rudimentary outdoors knowledge, better preparations and the proper gear. It’s crucial that those of us with hiking wisdom to share greatly increase our efforts to teach others trail sense and tips about getting along in the natural world that were once routinely passed down from one generation to another. Good hikers know how to manage in cold weather and hot, choose hikes matching their abilities, and can identify poison oak. They wear proper footwear and apparel and carry the Ten Essentials (including sun protection, headlamp, first aid kit and plenty of water). And they have an understanding and respect for the natural forces of wind, water, sunlight and yes, gravity. The best way to learn trail safety is to go out with an experienced hiker. I was fortunate to learn from the Scout leaders who took Troop 441 on trails throughout Southern California. I’ve also been fortunate to have opportunities to pass along best practices while hiking with my own children, youth groups and school kids of all ages. I encourage trailwise veterans to do likewise. We need to step up and help newbie hikers enjoy the wilderness but also stay out of harm’s way. Caution them: A national park is not a theme park. And there’s more to smart hiking than carrying a smartphone and hoping you have cell service to dial 911.

Trump tries ending birthright citizenship Joe Lippard
Opinions Editor
Republican President Donald Trump doesn’t seem to actually know much about the Constitution he’s sworn to uphold. In an interview with Axios, Trump posited that he can just repeal the Fourteenth Amendment with an executive order. “It was always told to me that you needed a constitutional amendment. Guess what? You don’t,” Trump said in the interview. Right off the bat here, we see that Trump didn’t exactly know what he was talking about. The president cannot simply nullify constitutional amendments with an executive order. It takes an act of Congress to change the US Constitution, according to Article V. One man should never have a final say what does or doesn’t get included in our nation’s most important document. But of course, Trump wasn’t done. Axios told him that that was actually not necessarily the case, to which he just insisted on it, saying, “You can definitely do it with an Act of Congress. But now they’re saying I can do it just with an executive order.” I would really like to know whom this “they” is. Who is telling Trump that the Constitution has changed in the last few weeks and that he’s now allowed to just repeal constitutional amendments how he sees fit? Because “they” should probably not be working for him any longer. Later in the interview, Trump said, “We’re the only country in the world where a person comes in and has a baby, and the baby is
essentially a citizen of the United States ... with all of those benefits. It’s ridiculous. It’s ridiculous. And it has to end.” In actuality, and Axios points this out, there are 30 out of 35 countries in the western hemisphere that give birthright citizenship to people, according to a study from Harvard University. The only five countries to not guarantee birthright citizenship are the Bahamas, Haiti, the Dominican Republic, Colombia and Suriname. This either shows a complete misunderstanding of the issue on Trump’s part, or that he’s trying to manipulate people into agreeing with him. Trump’s calls to end birthright citizenship encourages white nationalists, according to the godson of ex-Ku Klux Klan Grand Wizard David Duke, Derek Black. Black has denounced Duke’s white nationalism. He told Newsweek, “The government itself is carrying through a lot of the beliefs [white nationalist groups] have and a lot of the goals—things like limiting immigration, and as of today, the goal of ending birthright citizenship. That has been a goal of white nationalists for decades, like explicit: this is what they want to do.” This is extremely troubling. Regardless of Trump’s opinions on race, the fact that his agenda only affirms and even encourages white nationalists is a huge problem. White nationalists have killed American citizens in our own country, like Heather Heyer, a name that Trump and most of the GOP seem to have either forgotten or never known.
We don’t need to give violent extremists any more encouragement. Even some of Trump’s congressional allies seem to have turned on Trump on this particular issue. House Speaker Paul Ryan told WVLK, a local radio station, that Trump “cannot end birthright citizenship with an executive order.” The president responded to this slight criticism in the most tactful way, of course, tweeting, “Paul Ryan should be focusing on holding the Majority rather than giving his opinions on Birthright Citizenship, something he knows nothing about! Our new Republican Majority will work on this, Closing the Immigration Loopholes and Securing our Border!” Of course, now Trump acknowledges that it takes an act of Congress to change the Constitution. And of course, he also just conveniently doesn’t want to hear Ryan’s opinion now that they disagree on one thing. Since Trump has been informed that he cannot, in fact, repeal a constitutional amendment with an executive order, he now says that he’s prepared to send up to 15,000 troops to the border to deter a caravan of asylum seekers. According to NPR, there are about 5,000 troops in Iraq right now. In what world do we need up to three times as many troops to “defend” against a caravan of sick and tired masses yearning to be free? It seems that if Trump cannot end birthright citizenship, he is determined to prevent people from entering the country for any reason.
Trump reverts to form in the face of Pittsburgh’s tragedy Timothy L. O’Brien
Bloomberg News (TNS)
“I was elected to represent the citizens of Pittsburgh, not Paris,” President Donald Trump said last year, when he explained why he was withdrawing from a global climate change accord. Eleven Pittsburgh citizens were murdered just days ago because they were Jewish, and the president traveled to their city on Tuesday, his wife and children in tow, to pay his respects. He visited despite the fact that leaders of both political parties declined to join him on the trip, and despite requests from many local Jewish residents and community leaders that he stay away. “The gunman who tore apart our neighborhood believed your lies about the immigrant caravan in Mexico,” said a statement from one Jewish group. “He believed anti-Semitic lies that Jews were funding the caravan.” A cluster of Pittsburgh residents gathered Tuesday near the synagogue where the murders occurred, awaiting Trump’s
arrival. “Words have meaning,” they shouted. Of course they do. And in the slow, torturous weeks leading up to the midterm elections the president has unleashed a torrent of words. He has packaged them to appeal to his political base, he’s crafted them to smack of the racism, vitriol and division he’s trafficked in for decades, and he’s deployed them in increasingly desperate measures reflecting his frustration and recognition that events – and perhaps the electorate – are conspiring against him. “Republicans are doing so well in early voting, and at the polls, and now this ‘Bomb’ stuff happens and the momentum greatly slows – news not talking politics,” he tweeted recently. “Very unfortunate, what is going on.” Let’s parse that tweet. The president – referring to a series of pipe bombs sent last week to a media organization he purports to loathe, CNN, and a handful of Democratic political opponents and critics he has routinely slagged – calls it “this ‘Bomb’ stuff.” He regrets the bomb stuff, but not because lives were at risk. He
regrets it because he felt he had favorable political momentum and life – via the actions of an unhinged bomber enamored of Trump’s noxious sloganeering – got in the way and changed the discussion. “Very unfortunate.” The bomb threats gave the media a subject to cover that evoked the more virulent contours of the American landscape. They also reminded voters of the political violence Trump has often stoked while also distracting them from two bits of demagoguery he already had been unspooling. The first of those efforts involved describing a caravan of Central American migrants thousands of miles from the U.S. border as the latest threat to national security (“an invasion of our Country”). Trump, without any evidence, described the migrants in mid-October as populated by “criminals and unknown Middle Easterners.” This wasn’t his first attempt to sensationalize that threat, either. He warned of a different caravan threat back in April. Although that group eventually dissipated, chatter about it among Trump supporters and friendly media pundits set

in motion a new myth that the president never bothered to dispel: The caravan was funded by a wealthy Jewish financier, George Soros. As attention turned away from Trump’s manufactured caravan threat, he recently heightened the drama by ordering more than 5,000 soldiers to the southern border to intercept the “invasion.” Operation Faithful Patriot, as the mission is reportedly to be named, promises to be tricky: It’s clearly a political ploy (raising the question of why taxpayers rather than, say, the Republican Party, should shoulder the cost of deploying the troops) and the military is largely forbidden from getting involved in domestic law enforcement anyhow. Trump’s second effort to stir up the white voting bloc that shares his fear of outsiders and people of color came early last week when he let it be known that he was a “nationalist.” Trump, who once kept a volume of Hitler’s speeches by his bedside and has invoked Nazi and Stalinist phrases to smear his critics, surely under-

NASA FROM PAGE 2 in liquid form. Even more common is a type of planet that is missing from our own solar system — so-called super-Earths that are larger than our planet but smaller than Neptune. Kepler has also revealed that many solar systems are far more crowded than our own. One of its most tantalizing discoveries was the TRAPPIST-1 planetary system, home to seven rocky Earthsized worlds a mere 39 light-years away. All seven of these planets are closer to their star than Mercury is to the sun. Kepler has overcome mechanical difficulties in the past. But without the fuel needed to conduct further science operations, NASA opted to end the mission.

In addition to Citra hops (a lush, fruity IPA staple), he employed Wakatu hops, picked for what Kreiner perceives as lime-citrus character, to balance the peanuts. “I liked the lime-honey mingling,” he said. “I didn’t want it to be a smack in the face of peanuts. I don’t think anyone wants that.” Instead, he wanted the peanuts “faint in the background.” That’s the precise reason Mr. IPA-Nut succeeds beyond its nov-

Trump hasn’t been one to let tragedy force him to put self-aggrandizement or politics aside. In the wake of the international outcry that greeted the recent murder of Jamal Khashoggi, Trump was more eager to defend Saudi Arabia against critics wondering about the kingdom’s role in the journalist’s death than he was about getting to the bottom of the affair. Whatever sense of goodwill or national unity Trump may have been trying to create on Tuesday by visiting Pittsburgh was tempered by statements that Axios published the same day in which the president said he planned to end birth-
“I thought of it as the little spacecraft that could,” said Jessie Dotson, a Kepler project scientist at NASA’s Ames Research Center in Mountain View, Calif. “It always did everything we asked for, and sometimes more.” The space telescope will remain in its current orbit, which is a safe distance from Earth, officials said. Though Kepler is retiring, NASA will continue its search for planets outside the solar system. In April, the space agency launched the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite, or TESS, to look for planets around 200,000 nearby stars. Future missions, such as the James Webb Space Telescope, will further investigate these planets to see if there are any indications of life. elty status — it is far more IPA than peanut. And it’s a very well-made IPA. Pouring a turbid amber color due to all those peanuts, Mr. IPANut, which is a managable 6.2 percent alcohol, boasts an aroma that’s unusual, but wholly welcome: earthy, malty, fruity-citrus sweet and a hint of caramel. On the palate it nails an interesting and unlikely balance: floral and fruity upfront, giving way to rustic malt character, light peanut saltiness and then a touch of bitterness, all wrapped in a silky body. On the can, Mr. IPA-Nut is all novelty. What’s inside the can, fortunately, is a hearty IPA ideal for cold weather. right citizenship in the U.S. via an executive order. (Because the 14th Amendment deems anyone born in the U.S. a citizen, and Congress is in charge of granting citizenship, the president has no hope of meeting his goal through an executive order; on the other hand, he successfully used the media to telegraph to his supporters that he was still trying to make America a home for his kind of Americans.) Amid all of this, it appears that Trump advisers don’t believe Republicans will keep control of the House of Representatives and are instead targeting their efforts on shoring up vulnerable Senate seats ahead of next week’s midterms. That’s a scenario the president himself certainly recognizes even if he’s unlikely to fully embrace it until election results are in. In the meantime, expect the Nationalist-in-Chief to continue to traffic in the campaign tactics he knows best: fear, bigotry and exclusion.

Sycamores run on the field with South Dakota Coyotes in 2016. ISU meet South Dakota again Nov. 3 at Memorial Stadium.
Streaking Sycamores host South Dakota Garrett Short Reporter The Indiana State football team hadn’t won two conference games in a row since 2014. Until now. The Sycamores (4-4) host South Dakota (3-5) on Saturday. ISU has won two games in a row, while the Coyotes enter the weekend on a three-game losing streak. ISU executed in every aspect of the game last week against YSU. Special teams was solid with kicker Jerry Nunez being named MVFC Special Teams Player of the Week. ISU also took home MVFC Newcomer of the Week honors with quarterback Ryan Boyle and Defensive Player of the Week going to Griffith, who returned a fumble 80 yards for a touchdown in the
win. After beating Southern Illinois and Youngstown State, ISU is focused on making a playoff push. “We’re trying to get to the playoffs and get some more wins on top of that,” said linebacker Jonas Griffith. “It’s on to South Dakota now.” The Coyotes are much different than Youngstown State. While the Penguins are a team that likes to keep to the ground, hence the 238 rushing yards against ISU, South Dakota is a team that thrives when passing. South Dakota quarterback Austin Simmons leads the MVFC in completions, attempts and passing yards. Stopping the aerial attack is a main focus for the Sycamores. “They have a fast-tempo offense,” said Griffith. “They do throw the ball a lot and
Medrano, Workman named to MVC CC Scholar-Athlete Team Andrew Hile Athletic Media Relations ST. LOUIS - Akis Medrano and Alli Workman have been named to the Missouri Valley Conference Scholar-Athlete Teams, the Valley announced Tuesday morning. Scholar-Athlete honors require athletes to meet performance standards, as they must finish among the first 20 runners at the conference championship and hold at least a cumulative 3.2 GPA and be a sophomore in good athletic and academic standing to earn a spot on the team. Akis Medrano earned All-Valley honors at the MVC Championships in Peoria Saturday by placing third in the men’s 8K race with the third-best time in school history of 24:06.30. The senior currently holds a 3.25 GPA in criminology and criminal justice. For the women, Alli Workman earned All-MVC Honorable Mention honors with her 14th place finish and time of 17:53.50, the 16th-fastest 5K time in Sycamore history. Workman currently has a 3.91 GPA in health sciences. Twenty-eight women’s and men’s student-athletes met the criteria. Bradley had the most honorees, with six men and three women. Between the two races, every MVC School is represented. The Sycamores will be back in action Nov. 9 at the LaVern Gibson Championship Cross Country Course, as they host the NCAA Great Lakes Regional at 11:15 a.m. ET.
Men’s basketball plays Rose Hulman Thursday Indiana State Basketball opens the 2018-19 campaign with its lone exhibition contest on Thursday, November 1 as they host Rose-Hulman. Tip-off is set for 7:00 p.m. (ET) from Hulman Center in Terre Haute, Ind., and will not be televised. The game will also be broadcast on WIBQ 97.9 FM as well as streamed (audio) on GoSycamores.com. Jim Shaw/Royce Waltman Classic Set For Thursday Night, All Tickets Are $5 For Habitat For Humanity Thursday night’s exhibition game against Rose-Hulman will once be tabbed the Jim Shaw/
Royce Waltman Classic in honor of the former head coaches for both RHIT and ISU. Jim Shaw was the head coach of Rose-Hulman from 1994-2014 when he compiled a 303-221 career record over 20 years at the helm of the program, including a mark of 82-29 over his final four seasons. His career winning percentage (.578) ranks second in school history.

getting after the quarterback is going to be huge.” The big story last week was the loss of running backs Christian Covington and Ja’Quan Keys. Despite the injuries, ISU had no issue moving the ball against the Penguins racking up 125 rushing yards and 476 total yards. Boyle was the star throwing for 351 yards and three touchdowns, but Mallory knows a 26-point win means it was a team effort. “I’m always going to talk about the offensive line,” said Mallory. “It’s the most veteran group we’ve got on the football team and they’re really showing it.” Mallory and company are excited to be home, but what makes their return to Memorial Stadium even sweeter is they just won two gritty games on the road.
Combining a game in front of a home crowd with a South Dakota offense that is second-to-last in the conference in scoring, and ISU looks poised to win its third straight game. Mallory has always stressed defense. Looking at the conference leaders, the team’s focus has paid off. Griffith and senior linebacker Katrell Moss rank first and second respectively in the MVFC in tackles. ISU also boasts the top spot in fumbles forced and fumbles recovered. Going against an offense that hasn’t topped 20 points in either of their last two games, ISU’s defense has to be excited about putting their stamp on this game and helping the team get over .500. Kickoff on Saturday is set for 1 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3.
SEC puts big spin on first College Football Playoff rankings Matt Murschel Orlando Sentinel (TNS) Defending national champion Alabama earned the No. 1 spot in the first College Football Playoff rankings released Tuesday night. The Crimson Tide have been the overwhelming favorite throughout the season, earning the No 1 spot in both the Associated Press and coaches’ top 25 polls. Clemson came in at No. 2, followed by another SEC team in LSU at No. 3 and Notre Dame at No. 4. The top four teams qualify for a spot in the two semifinal games on Dec. 29. This is the 26th time an Alabama team has made an appearance in rankings since the formation of the playoff system in 2014. Ohio State and Clemson also are tied with the Crimson Tide for the most appearances in the rankings. Michigan came in at No. 5, with Georgia, Oklahoma, Washington State, Kentucky and Ohio State rounding out the top 10. The 13-members of the selection committee meets weekly to rank the top 25 teams. This is the first of six weekly rankings released by the selection committee, with final rankings to be revealed on Dec. 2 when the four semifinal teams will be announced along with teams participating in the remainder of the New Year’s Six bowl games. The two semifinals, which rotate yearly, will take place in Miami at the Orange Bowl and in Dallas at the Cotton Bowl on Saturday, Dec. 29. The remaining New Year’s Six games will be played at the Fiesta, Peach, Rose and Sugar bowls. Undefeated UCF, which was ranked No. 12, was the top team from the Group of 5 conferences. The highest-ranked Group of 5 conference champion earns a spot in one of the New Year’s Six Access Bowls. The College Football Playoff National Championship Game is slated for Monday, Jan. 7, at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, Calif. The selection committee is composed of Rob Mullens (chairman), Frank Beamer, Paola Boivin, Jeff Bower, Joe Castiglione, Herb Deromedi, Ken Hatfield, Chris Howard, Bobby Johnson, Ronnie Lott, Gene Smith, Todd Stansbury and Scott Stricklin.
