Inside Out shows film on why ISU shouldn’t be a hunting ground for sexual predators Nicole Nunez Reporter
Inside Out hosted their showing of, “The Hunting Ground” this past Tuesday in DEDE 1 at 6 p.m. The film is a documentary that discusses sexual assault on college campuses. It depicts stories of sexual assault victims from all over the country from a multitude of universities. “ … the stories told in, “The Hunting Ground” are eye opening. It introduces a new perspective about universities and how they handle cases of sexual violence. I encourage anyone to attend and to keep an open mind while watching,” said Inside Out President, Nathaniel Koehler. The documentary discussed how only a small number of sexual assault victims actually report the incidents because they are afraid, or because the university makes it very difficult for students to successfully report. Even those that do report are often brushed off and nothing is done to the perpetrator. Universities are a brand and can be more worried about their image than the wellbeing of their students. “I am hoping students leave the Hunting Ground showing with a better understanding of how sexual violence occurs on campuses and on how victims often have to go through significant obstacles after the incident,” said Koehler. “Overall, I just want viewers to gain a little more knowledge on the topic and become more

because it is about issues of sexual violence across college campuses. Showing it supports our mission as an organization by educating others. By educating others about some of the things victims have to deal with and go through will hopefully help reach our end goal of preventing sexual violence on this campus,” said Koehler.
“Inside Out is formally known as Inside Out: ISU Men Against Sexual Violence, but anyone can join. We are a small organization dedicated to helping prevent sexual violence and educating others about the issue of sexual violence,” said Koehler. Inside Out meets every Thursday at 7 p.m.

House passes gun legislation with GOP add-on Todd Ruger
CQ-Roll Call (TNS)
House Democrats on Wednesday succeeded in pushing through the chamber a bill to expand background checks for firearm sales, but not before some procedural gamesmanship from Republicans. Last year, Congress approved two gun-related measures about background checks and school safety in a spending bill. But Wednesday’s 240-190 vote, mostly along party lines, was the first time in decades that the House passed a standalone gun control bill. Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., succeeded in forcing an amendment, in the form of a motion to recommit, that would require U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement be notified when an undocumented immigrant fails a background check when attempting to purchase a firearm. The vote was 220-209. The bill is a priority for the new Democratic majority in the House, but the Republican-controlled Senate is unlikely to take up the measure. The bill would expand required background checks to all firearm sales, aimed at covering sales at gun shows, online or in other private settings — with some exceptions such as hunting, law enforcement and gifts to family. Currently, only licensed fire-

King of New York, a co-sponsor who had backed similar legislation in recent years. The House approved an amendment from Rep. Madeleine Dean, D-Pa., to clarify that people who are at risk of committing suicide would not be required to run a background check to give their gun to someone else. The Trump administration already issued a veto warning on the bill, saying burdensome requirements in the bill do not sufficiently protect Second Amendment rights. The White House also criticized the bill for not including exemptions such as giving a gun to a neighbor while on vacation or domestic violence victims who needed to protect themselves. At the House Judiciary Committee, Republicans heavily criticized the bill as a burden on law-abiding citizens that would do nothing to stop mass shootings. Allen J.

To draw more foreign visitors to U.S., Visa Waiver Program may get tougher-sounding name Hugo Martin
Los Angeles TImes (TNS)
In hopes of convincing lawmakers to allow more foreign visitors into the U.S., top tourism officials are turning to a marketing tactic more common in the business world: a rebrand. The nation’s Visa Waiver Program now allows travelers from 38 countries to visit the U.S. without visas. But tourism officials worry that security concerns may keep lawmakers from expanding the program to add more countries. And so the trade group for the nation’s travel industry is pushing a new tougher-sounding name: the Security Travel Partnership. “A lot of folks see the word ‘waiver’ and think of an overzealous third-base coach waving folks into the country,” said Jonathan Grella, executive vice president at the U.S. Travel Association. To pull off the rebrand, the trade group is trying to get bipartisan support from lawmakers in Washington, D.C., to rename the program and expand it to include nine new countries, including Poland, Argentina, Israel and Brazil. “We hope rebranding can give us a fresh start to allow the program to be reconsidered on its merits,” Grella said. The rebranding plan is part of a bigger tourism-boosting effort among travel and tourism leaders who say that the U.S. is slowly losing its position as the most popular destination for international tourists.

nomic turmoil in Europe, trade tensions in China and harsh anti-immigrant rhetoric by President Trump have all been blamed by tourism leaders for putting a chill on what was a dramatic surge in foreign visitors to the U.S. starting in 2010. Although international travel grew 6 percent worldwide last year, international travel to the U.S. rose only 2 percent, with the flow of visitors from China remaining flat compared with the previous year, while trips from Germany to the U.S. dropped 7 percent in 2018, according to statistics released Tuesday by the World Travel & Tourism Council, a London-based nonprofit that researches and promotes tourism.
Ernest Wooden, chief executive of the Los Angeles Tourism and Convention Board, said his group is focusing on attracting travelers from India and South Korea with the help of online ads that feature Korean actor Daniel Henney and Indian actresses Malaika Arora and Sonam Kapoor. “Attracting international travelers continues to be a top priority for the Los Angeles tourism industry as these travelers typically stay in the destination longer and spend more while here,” he said. Foreign travelers are highly sought after by tourism officials because they spend up to four times more per visit than a tourist from within the U.S.
Limit on state and local tax deduction will hit 11 million taxpayers, Treasury finds Jim Puzzanghera
Los Angeles Times (TNS)
The new limit on the state and local tax deduction will hit nearly 11 million taxpayers nationwide this year, according to a report by a Treasury Department inspector general. It is the government’s first estimate of the effect of capping the popular deduction at $10,000, a key and controversial provision in the Republican tax bill championed by President Trump. An unredacted version of the report released Wednesday also showed that Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin and other officials last year prioritized halting efforts by California and other states to help residents circumvent the cap. Deductions for state and local taxes, known as SALT, were unlimited before the Republican tax bill took effect last year. Because of the new $10,000 limit on single and joint filers, Americans will be unable to deduct about $323 billion in state and local taxes that exceed the limit, according to the report by the Treasury inspector general for tax administration. Many of the 10.9 million filers who will be affected by the cap are in California, New York and other states that tend to vote Democratic. They have higher state income taxes, property values and real estate taxes, all of which fall under the SALT limit. “The cap on state and local tax deductions was one of the most harmful pieces of the Republican tax overhaul,” said Rep. Richard E. Neal, D-Mass., who requested the Treasury report and released the unredacted version revealing the role that Mnuchin and other officials played in trying to stop states from providing workarounds for the limit. A Treasury spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. There was no state-by-state breakdown in the Treasury report. But an analysis by the conservative Tax Foundation found that the deduction allowed Cal-
But if current travel trends continue, China may surpass the U.S. as the world’s biggest travel economy within the next decade, according to the council. Travel and tourism contributed an estimated $1.6 trillion to the U.S. economy last year, compared with $1.5 trillion generated for the Chinese economy, according to the council. By 2030, travel and tourism is expected to pour $3 trillion into the Chinese economy, thanks to a burgeoning middle class that is expected to travel heavily within and outside of the country. The U.S. is expected to benefit from $2 trillion in travel and tourism spending by 2030, the council said. Even if Washington lawmak-

ifornians to reduce their combined taxable income by $101 billion in 2014 — one fifth of the total value of the deduction nationwide. The wealthy reap the most benefits from the state and local tax deduction. But many of the people affected by the cap in California and other high-cost, high-tax states are middle-income earners. The limit is highly unpopular in states where it hits hard and is a reason why Internal Revenue Service figures show tax refunds are down 16.7 percent so far this year compared to last year, although Treasury changes to withholding tables to put more money into workers’ paychecks after the tax bill took effect is the main reason. Bill Forsythe, 57, a hospital radiology technologist in San Jose, said he and his wife were unable to deduct all the $14,000 in property taxes on their home and their state income taxes from their federal return this year. That helped lead to a $9,000 combined state and federal tax bill this year after they had received a $6,000 refund last year. Not all of the 11 million taxpayers affected by the cap will pay higher taxes, because the law also increased some other deductions along with lowering marginal rates across the board.
But the cap was always viewed as a money-raiser by Republicans, who argued that it disproportionately benefited the wealthy. Democrats said the decision was political, noting that Trump carried only three of the top 10 states for SALT deductions in the 2016 election. Establishing the cap was a key way to raise additional revenue as part of the Republican tax overhaul, which official government estimates said would increase the federal budget deficit by $1.5 trillion over a decade because of the money lost by slashing rates for businesses and individuals. The cap will raise about $673 billion over a decade, according to the Tax Foundation. Elected officials in California, New York and other states tried to provide creative workarounds for residents hit by the limit, such as by allowing people to get credits for charitable donations that offset property tax payments. But the IRS moved quickly to outlaw them. The inspector general’s report found that the IRS Office of Chief Counsel prioritized issuing guidance to block the workarounds. The IRS proposed issuing a press release announcing the guidance, but Treasury officials decided to is-

ers agree to expand the Visa Waiver Program — under whatever name — the program mandates that the country sending travelers to the U.S. must adopt several tough security measures, such as including a digital chip in each passport with biometric information about the traveler. Expansion of the program seemed to have the support of President Trump, who met with top tourism officials in September, Grella said. At that same meeting, he said, tourism leaders urged Trump to either tone down his anti-immigrant rhetoric or at least make it clear that the U.S. still welcomes international tourists. “A lot of people who are curious and interested and desirous of coming to the U.S. may not feel we are welcoming enough to them,” Grella said. Tourism leaders are also pushing lawmakers to refund Brand USA, a promotional tourism campaign launched in 2011 that is funded by private donations and fees charged to international visitors who register for visas to enter the United States. Funding for the program was diverted to the general fund last year; supporters hope its funding will be renewed next year. To push their message to Trump, the U.S. Travel Association plans an extremely specialized marketing campaign with billboards that tout the U.S. as a welcoming travel destination to foreign tourists. The campaign, to launch this week, will be exclusive to West Palm Beach, Fla., home of Trump’s favorite vacation spot, the swanky Mar-a-Lago resort.
Walt Disney Co. has cleared one of the last major hurdles in its quest to buy much of 21st Century Fox. Brazil’s antitrust regulator, Cade, after a proceeding Wednesday, approved Disney’s $71.3-billion deal after Disney agreed to sell a sports channel in Brazil. The South American government’s conditional approval of the deal moves the Burbank company significantly closer to gobbling up Fox’s prolific production studios and channels — a process that could be completed as early as next week. Disney’s takeover of Fox is expected to transform not only Disney but also the entire entertainment industry. The Disney-Fox combination would create an entertainment Goliath of unprecedented scope and reach. It will help realize the vision of Disney Chief Executive Bob Iger, who began scooping up valuable entertainment brands more than a decade ago to build a company rich in content — and consumer appeal. To win the Brazilian government’s approval, Disney agreed to divest the Fox Sports channel in Brazil, an asset that Disney had hoped to consolidate. Part of the appeal of the Fox transaction was expanding Disney’s exposure internationally now that the U.S. entertainment market is mature. Forcing Disney to give up that channel was important to Brazilian regulators because Fox Sports maintains the rights to popular South American soccer competitions. Disney already owns an ESPN Brazil channel, which it launched nearly 30 years ago. Brazilian officials were worried that Disney would have too much control in the TV sports market if it owned the two popular channels. “Currently, there is only one
big-screen rival capable of competing with these channels,” Cade said in a statement issued in Portuguese. The divestiture of Fox Sports in Brazil “aims to eliminate competitive concerns in the pay TV sports channel market.” The regulator worried that if Disney operated the two channels that “would leave the payTV sports channel segment even more concentrated, with a high likelihood of Disney’s exercise of market power,” Cade said. “In addition, there would be potential for reducing the quality and diversity of available sports content, as well as increasing costs that could be passed on to consumers.” Disney also plans to relinquish the Fox Sports channel in Mexico, according to Bloomberg News. Mexico has been another major holdout in the deal approval process. Brazil isn’t the first regulator demanding that Disney shed some sports channels. Last summer, the U.S. Justice Department told Disney that it would not be allowed to own Fox’s 22 regional sports channels, including Prime Ticket and Fox Sports West in Los Angeles because Disney also owns the majority of ESPN. So Disney is auctioning off those Fox Sports cable channels. European regulators in November asked Disney to sell its 50 percent stake in the A+E Networks, which include the Lifetime and History channels. (Disney is keeping its A+E stake in the U.S.) Disney had hoped to finalize its Fox purchase, first unveiled in December 2017, by early this year. But it hit a roadblock while trying to secure Brazil’s approval. Disney petitioned the Brazilian agency for approval back in July, but the process slowed. Complicating matters, Cade meets only once a month to consider such transactions — so Disney was eager to stitch up that regulator’s approval this week.

‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ is being revived by Fox — with a twist Yvonne Villarreal
Los Angeles Times (TNS)
Guys, Kelly Taylor is back. Sort of. Members of the original cast of “Beverly Hills, 90210” are returning for a six-episode event series on Fox, the network announced Wednesday _ setting off a million text exchanges among diehard fans, no doubt. Nineteen years after the popular young adult drama wrapped its run, Jason Priestley, Jennie Garth, Ian Ziering, Gabrielle Carteris, Brian Austin Green, and Tori Spelling are reuniting on TV. And in a twist that surely beats that time Kelly joined a cult, the actors will not exactly be reprising their roles from the original series. Instead, they will play heightened versions of themselves. Here’s how Fox explains it: “Jason, Jennie, Ian, Gabrielle, Brian and Tori reunite when one of them suggests it’s time to get a ‘Beverly Hills, 90210’ reboot up and running.

It premiered on Fox in 1990 and ran for 10 seasons _ and launched the spinoff “Melrose Place.” The series was rebooted in 2008 by the CW and featured a new cast of young actors, as well as old favorites Garth, Spelling and Shannen Doherty reprising their roles as Kelly Taylor, Donna Martin and Brenda Walsh, respectively.

Kebab Grill: a new taste in Terre Haute Nicole Nunez Reporter
Next week, Terre Haute will be welcoming a new restaurant on 3rd street. Kabab Grill is a Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisine to help expose a new culture to the Terre Haute community. The restaurant is family owned and the first of its kind. They chose Terre Haute because there is “no middle eastern cuisine in Terre Haute so we chose to start here,” Rakan Batman, owner of Kabab Grill said. “We are the only restaurant like it.” The Batman family is originally from Syria, but has resided in Fishers, Indiana for many years. “[I am most excited about] making new friends, getting to know about students, about colleges, and different religions,” Batman said. “It is a friendly and family welcoming environment,” said ISU student Amy Vandevelde. “They seemed like they were excited about having a variety of customers.” Kabab Grill already has over 70 likes and followers on Facebook. They are open from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and 10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sundays. There are over twenty different dishes that the family is excited to share with the Terre Haute community. The menu includes seven appetizers and nine sandwiches all for under $7. “The menu looked very appetizing,” said Vandevelde. When asked what his favorite dish was, Batman responded, “all of them.” He recommends the “Chicken Shawarma… it’s like chicken with garlic sauce, pickles tomato and we also serve it with rice, similar to gyros.” “We will provide the best food, the best service we will provide lots of good cuisine,” Batman said.
ISU student takes social media to new levels
How Tik Tok has opened opportunities for Griffin Johnson Lauren Rader Reporter
Tik Tok is a new sensation that many people have gotten hooked on, and this goes for Griffin Johnson as well. Johnson is a sophomore here at ISU in the nursing program. He is active in his fraternity, Sigma Phi Epsilon, and serves as Vice President of Recruitment. While doing all this at school, he also manages his multiple social media accounts, including his Tik Tok account. Tik Tok is a media platform that allows people to share short videos with music and acting. It has become very popular among young people in the last couple months. “Social media has changed my life not only with the friends I have made, but the ability to affect and change my fans’ days and lives,” Johnson said. “I love social media for the opportunities and people I have been able to meet. I am currently about to start my tour this weekend in Orlando, Florida. I am also moving to LA for the summer.” Tik Tok has opened up opportunities for Johnson and he is excited to see where it will take him. Many people spend multiple hours a day on applications on a phone. Videos on Tik Tok can circulate through different apps such as Snapchat and Instagram through ads and fanpages. Fame can come from one video or one hundred, but it all depends on the platform and the
content displayed. “The best way to stay humble is to interact with your friends and to keep media out of day to day life,” Johnson said. “I personally try to disconnect my social media from my real life friends and plug into media on my own time. This helps me keep a feeling of being normal on a daily basis.” Keeping friends and school a priority when managing social media can be hard, but Johnson reassures people that it is a daily journey. Staying close with friends and working hard in school are very valuable to him.

Social media is a good way to stay connected and share ideas as well. Johnson says he gets his ideas during class, and he lets his mind wander farther to gain more ideas. He just started using social media heavily his senior year but began getting serious for his New Year’s resolution. “Honestly, I am taking it day by day. I started this journey in January and have stumbled in the right areas to get me over 100 thousand followers in two months,” Johnson said. “I never expected to be here, but I have embraced the journey and I am ready for what is to come.”
Ghost causes mischief in Studio B Karen the ghost makes her mark on Indiana State University and Dreiser Lauren Rader Reporter
Many students involved in Sycamore Video believe that Dreiser Hall is haunted, but the studio on the first floor seems to have a spirit of its own. Studio B has been having weird disturbances that cannot be explained. Many make excuses, but Karen, the studio ghost, makes herself present any chance she gets. Karen is known all through Sycamore Video as the Ghost in Studio B. The airy, bright space wouldn’t be assumed to have a ghost, but the weird experiences speak for themselves. Tell-Tale Tours describes Karen the Studio Ghost in more detail, but she is widely known around campus. “One day in particular I was in there by myself and I was adjusting and unplugging a camera and it started to move, like somebody was in the control room moving it. I freaked out,” Senior Sports Producer with Sycamore Video, Michael Winstead, said. “That was the biggest thing that’s happened
to me. We’ve also heard weird noises. Some of the stuff you just ride off as weird coincidences.” Many students said they experienced a tap on the shoulder or cold spots in the studio and around the building in general. Small occurrences can turn into much more than cold spots. “I didn’t really want any experiences with Karen. This is not something that I seek out on my own, but stuff has just happened,” Katie Higginbotham, an officer at Sycamore Video said. “A couple times now, when I have been here by myself, I’ve had some really weird experiences. They always seem centered around the second and third floor bathrooms,” Higginbotham said. “I was here really late at night with one of the officers, and I know we were the only two people in the building because it was around 3 am. I knew I was going to walk into this bathroom and the lights were going to be on. Not only were the lights on, but the sink was running. I’ve had a lot of experiences like that in there.” Dreiser is a very old building and many original features are still in tact.

Students enjoy the technology in Studio B in the basement of Dreiser, but some feel the spirit of Karen the ghost, with cold spots and even the feeling of someone tapping them on the shoulder.
There are narrow spiral staircases in the basement that lead to dark and uneasy hallways. The atmosphere switches from light and airy to dark and mysterious. The origin of Karen is that she was someone who loved the theater and she gravitated
back here after she died. We can never know for sure, because the paranormals’ existence is widely questioned. “Some people could be making this up, but every time I think that to myself, something weird happens. It’s part of the wonder of it, I think,” said Higginbotham.

Tasting 10 craft beer classics: Flagship February shines light on brands left behind Flagships are faltering. Fortunately for them, there’s Flagship February. The monthlong initiative, launched in a burst of social media inspiration by Canadian beer writer Stephen Beaumont, is meant to highlight “the flagship beers that got us here,” according to the Flagship February website. “Here” is a nation rife with more than 7,000 breweries _ and another 1,000 or so in Canada _ which offer seemingly endless options for beer drinkers. Those options stand in blessed contrast to the landscape of a generation ago, when fewer than 100 breweries churned out a handful of brands that accounted for most of our beer drinking. The early antidotes to that bland landscape were craft breweries, most of which were built on the identity of a single beer _ a flagship. Anchor Steam. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. Samuel Adams Boston Lager. Fat Tire Amber Ale. Lagunitas IPA. But the recent proliferation of choice means a dizzying array of options, which leaves many of the old-school flagships as afterthoughts. The numbers bear that out. Fat Tire sales were down 17.5 percent last year, according to Chicago-based market research firm IRI Worldwide. Boston Lager was down 13.7 percent. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, down 5.5 percent. Lagunitas IPA, Stone IPA and Shiner Bock were all down between 1.6 and 3.5 percent. A handful of oldschool flagships remain
strong _ the right styles of beer for still-growing breweries _ but most have met headwinds. Enter Flagship February. To remind us of the quality that we now largely take for granted (and to nudge a certain demographic beyond lurching from shiny new thing to shiny new thing), Beaumont and a handful of writers are highlighting a different flagship each day this month. It got me thinking. It also got me tasting some classic flagships I haven’t tried in years. While I’ve been as guilty as anyone of overlooking the old standbys while keeping up with the latest hazy IPA or pastry stout _ or hoppy stout or helles lager or wild ale _ it was a pleasure to circle back to these beers. For this exercise, I focused on the classic flagships available in Chicago: those at least 20 years old and those that have been, and continue to be, a particular brewery’s dominant brand. I landed on 16 beers, all recognizable to veteran beer drinkers (and must-trys for newer beer drinkers). I assumed some would seem like relics from another time and be best left behind. But the truth is none truly disappointed; each had its merits. Their collective longevity is no fluke. But that doesn’t mean they’re equally worth drinking. For that reason, I’ve divided the beers into three groups: “Still essential” (speaks for itself), “Keep it in rotation” (buy a six-pack once or twice a year) and “Ballgame beer” (if you come across it at a sporting event, concert or backyard barbecue, have at it).
Most of these beers are best when fresh _ no more than 4 to 6 months old, which can be a challenge for beers arriving from hundreds or thousands of miles away _ so check those packaging dates. Here they are, by category, then in alphabetical order: Still essential Allagash White Brewery: Allagash Brewing, Portland, Maine Released: 1995 Verdict: A classic Belgian-style witbier years ahead of its time. Fortunately American taste buds have caught up, and Allagash’s flagship _ it’s about 80 percent of the brewery’s production _ is dialed in as ever: bright, fruity, lemony, grassy and refreshing. I’d recommend this even to people who think they don’t like beer. Dortmunder Gold Brewery: Great Lakes Brewing, Cleveland Released: 1994 Verdict: Exquisite balance throughout this dortmunder lager: hearty yet crisp, muscular yet bright, complex yet accessible, and plenty of weight without sitting heavily on the palate. Fat Tire Amber Ale Brewery: New Belgium Brewing, Fort Collins, Colo., and Asheville, N.C. Released: 1991 Verdict: I’d largely written this beer off. My mistake. Having this classic amber ale fresh at the brewery last year reminded me of its evenhanded genius, and now that Fat Tire is bottle fermented, it stays fresher and brighter longer. Its malty middle and tidy, lightly fruity finish make it endlessly satisfying. La Fin du Monde Brewery: Unibroue, Chambly, Canada

Released: 1994 Verdict: It’s remarkable that any North American brewery has been able to make a tripel _ another classic Belgian style _ its flagship for so long. But leave it to those progressive Canadians. La Fin du Monde certainly holds up: fruity with a touch of spice, and it dries out just enough to be ideal with a meal. One of the few beers on this list that isn’t necessarily best fresh. Keep it in rotation Alaskan Amber Brewery: Alaskan Brewing, Juneau, Alaska Released: 1986 Verdict: Effortless easy drinking reminiscent of Fat Tire. A bit fruity and a bit nutty, with a bit of toffee character. An ideal pairing with food. Dale’s Pale Ale Brewery: Oskar Blues Brewery, Lyons, Colo., and Brevard, N.C. Released: 2002 Verdict: I broke the 20year rule for 17-year-old Dale’s, which is worthy of veteran flagship status not just for mainstreaming cans in craft beer, but also for updating the notion of
a flagship pale ale: bigger, rounder and fruitier than the Sierra Nevada classic. Speaking of which ... Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Brewery: Sierra Nevada Brewing, Chico, Calif., and Mills River, N.C. Released: 1980 Verdict: Light-years ahead of its time and arguably the most important American beer of the past 50 years. It holds up decades later as a fairly modest and restrained take on pale ale by contemporary standards, showing light fruitiness balanced by a lightly resinous, toasty malt and drying finish. No gripe here. Can be particularly tough to find fresh in Chicago, unfortunately, though The Beer Temple sometimes has it in optimal shape on draft. Spotted Cow Brewery: New Glarus Brewing, New Glarus, Wis. Released: 1997 Verdict: Spotted Cow is not New Glarus’ flashiest beer, but there’s good reason that it’s the beer that built the brewery. From the bottle or can, Spotted Cow is easy-drinking simplicity. Poured into a glass, it

shines, its fruity aromatics (think melon and citrus) leaping out. Available only in Wisconsin _ not that that stops Illinois folk from getting it into their refrigerators. Shiner Bock Brewery: Spoetzl Brewery, Shiner, Texas Released: 1903 Verdict: Well-executed, one-dimensional malt forwardness. And, yes, abundant at Astros games (even if Anheuser-Busch is coming after Shiner with a bock of its own this season). Brooklyn Lager Brewery: Brooklyn Brewery, Brooklyn, New York Released: 1988 Verdict: A fair amount of malt in this lager _ skewing more toward caramel than toastiness _ and pronounced piney-perfume bitterness make this beer heavier than many contemporary lagers and less interesting than most hop-forward beers. It sits heavy on the palate and gets fatiguing. But, yes, I’d gladly drink one at a Yankees game (while, of course, rooting against the Yankees).

Pledge to be a good father
Erin Bradshaw Columnist
When we think of who is going to stay home with a newborn baby, our minds immediately go to women. Women are required to have at least 12 weeks of unpaid leave. Generally, we assume the man is the one to have to continue working while the mother stays home to watch the newborn. As of today, fathers are only entitled to two weeks of paid paternity leave. That’s about enough time to make sure your new baby isn’t sick, hold it a couple times, then head back into the role of being the breadwinner. However, this doesn’t leave much time for a father to be a dad. They work nine to five presumably five days a week, giving them about four to five hours at night to see their newborn. Giving new fathers only two weeks of leave feeds into the idea that they are the ones who are supposed to be working all the time and not at home with their wife and baby. Two weeks is not enough time to take care of the new mother and baby. This also assumes that the mother is reluctant to reenter the work force. We are at a day and age in which, more than ever before, women are attending college and entering the work force. Who is to say that both parents aren’t going back to work, or that the father isn’t the one staying home? In Sweden, both the mother and father are provided 16 weeks. Paid. Having ample time and not having to worry about finances allows the family to grow together and get used to their new lives. Sweden also had essentially universal childcare. According to TIME magazine, each family pays about $18 dollars a month out of pocket instead of upwards of $1000 like in the United States. It is no surprise that Sweden is in the top five for education, health care and protection concerning children. However, there is a company trying to extend its arm in hopes to help the U.S. ungenerous paid leave. According to WTHI-TV 10, the famously known body
OPINION
care brand, Dove, has started a Paternity Leave Fund. The goal is to raise over $1 million dollars over the next two years for dads who do not have paternity leave, or unpaid. This fund is trying to give each new father $5,000 in grants, in order to have more time to stay at home with their new family. Other large corporations, like Wal-Mart, have also made efforts to extend their paternity leave policies. A staggering statistic of only 15% of workers in the U.S. receive paid leave. In order to possibly receive these benefits, men must sign the pledge on Dove’s website. The first years of a child’s life are the most important. During this time, is when they develop a bond with their mother and father. If the father is absent during this crucial time, it could have negative consequences for the future. Although there are many factors into how a baby grows cognitively, the paternal relationship is extremely important. Studies have found that children, whose fathers engage with them at a young age, develop much better cognitively than those whose fathers did not. This does not mean simply playing football in the backyard. Engaging includes reading to your children, doing problem-solving activities, and introducing them to new things in life. By doing so, you as a father are also positively developing your child’s emotional development. The sooner you build a strong, foundational relationship with your child, the more likely that relationship will continue to be strong in the future. Fathers are equally as important as mothers, they just play different roles. Toxic masculinity must be thrown out the window. Now more than ever, we are seeing fathers being sweet and emotional with their children instead of being firm and strict. In both girls and boys, it is important for mothers and fathers to be emotionally involved with their children. Playing the “macho man” role does no favors to your children. Be as involved as the mother is in your child’s life. Often times, you hear of women reading new mother books or going to mommy and me yoga classes. As a father, you should be as equally active as the mother. Parenting is an equal partnership and team effort. Sometimes being involved is hard when you lead such a busy life. The important thing is to try your best.

Compared to other professions, the military welcomed women sooner than most. The first woman enlisted in the military in 1917, and by 1948, the Women’s Armed Services Integration Act was passed to permanently allow women to serve in all branches of the military. Today, women make up 16 percent of the enlisted forces. In 1970, Anna Mae Hays became the first woman in the U.S. Armed Forces to be promoted to a General Officer rank, opening the door for many future female generals and admirals. In 2016, Air Force Gen. Lori Robinson became the highest ranking woman in U.S. military history when she took over as leader of U.S. Northern Command.
Temporary appeasement
Tessa Shepard Columnist
You must have your hair to up to certain regulations when in the military; for women, hair can be a bit more challenging than compared to men. Some common choices of hair styles for females in the navy are short bobs, pixies, close chops (think about the military boating school instructor in SpongeBob), naturally straight hair or straightening their hair every day and a limited amount of options for buns. Although, imagine if you were in their shoes. If your hair is not naturally straight, do you really want to spend hours straightening it every day? So now you have fewer options; you can have cornrows, a wig (bob), multiple braids that form a bun or two braids that form a bun. These were the majority of the options women could choose from, we can see how the regulations seemed easier for some and harder to accomplish or maintain for the rest of
the female Naval fleet. July 11, 2018, these new rules and regulations were announced, yet the catch is that the rules are not set in stone. The ultimate decision on your hair is based solely on the CO’s opinion. This meaning that one fleet can have a more relaxed CO, while others may choose to stay in the past. The new hairstyles include ponytails and braids, alongside with many others. According to Military.com, the only rule is that the hairstyle must stay out of the way of safety gear and their hats must still fit flat on the top of their heads. Some of you might be thinking, “Why is this so important?” If you look back at what has been happening to the military in the past decades there has been a lot of negative press regarding women and this can’t help but feel like a small victory or a small distraction. The fight for women’s voices to be heard in the military has been a long challenging journey. Over all, ignored cries for help within the female military service is a far more serious action to be taken towards sexual assault and harassment. What does this have to do with new hair regulation, you may ask? Hold tight and you will see. According to Time.com, the mental health rate among female military personnel is ex-
tremely high in the depression category. This is relevant in both women that are actively serving and women who are now veterans; they shared some stories in this article that was alarming. We all know the #MeToo campaign, but did any of you know about the #NotInvisible campaign to raise awareness of the sexual assault cases going ignored in the military? Bet not. In this article, it stated that if someone reports a case of assault or harassment they are looked down on 58% of the time. Countless numbers of women and even some men will never report a case; however, two factors were the most apparent. First, many women or victims who reported being rape were discharged from the military, not perpetrator who raped them. Second, the suicide rate among female veterans is 250% higher than the average citizen. These facts are absolutely terrifying and they go to show how the military is in need of some new regulations and rules, not just new hairstyles. Therefore, here is where I loop it back to the hair. Yes, I think it is amazing that the Navy has made new rules for women so they can express themselves more while still following the

Editorial: Safe parking for homeless students? The Times Editorial Board Los Angeles Times (TNS)
Obviously, it’s hard to get through college if you have to worry about whether you will eat on any given day or where you will sleep at night. But that’s the situation that many students in California face. Surveys of the state’s community college students have found that about 1 in 5 have been homeless during the previous 12 months. That means they’re sleeping in a car, couch-surfing with friends, or living in an abandoned building or out on the street. Although there are also homeless students in the University of California and California State University systems, the numbers are significantly higher at community colleges. The community college system is vast, encompassing 2.1 million students spread across 114 campuses. Many are lower-income, juggling jobs and family and school. Some campuses already have food banks and offer assistance to students enrolling in California’s food stamps program. Providing housing, though, is more challenging. Only 11 community colleges have any form of dormitory housing on their campuses — and most of those are
rural colleges. Assembly Bill 302, by Assemblyman Marc Berman (D-Palo Alto), aims to help. It would require community colleges to allow homeless students who are living in vehicles to park overnight in campus parking facilities. The students would have to be enrolled in classes and in good standing at the college. It’s not known exactly how many students are living in their cars. This is a well-intentioned idea that could offer modest but much-needed help to homeless students. It echoes a similar 2016 state law that requires community colleges to make showers in athletic facilities available to homeless students even if they’re not enrolled in physical education classes. That law seems to be working well. But the homeless-student parking bill raises a host of complicated questions that need to be answered before it goes forward. Would the students have to move their cars out every morning — and if not, is there a risk the parking lots would become permanent encampments? Would the law guarantee space only for students living in their cars, or could homeless students also sleep in the parking lots in
tents? (The bill is so vaguely worded at the moment that it just offers homeless students “overnight access” to the parking facilities.) What kind of security would all this require? Who would pay for it? What about bathroom facilities? How do you assuage the concerns of the surrounding community, or of other students? And is this something that ought to be imposed on colleges even if they oppose it? What if they raise reasonable objections? The chancellor of the community college system has not yet taken a position, but officials say they are working with Berman’s office to address concerns. One easy fix: Specify in the bill that this is for students in vehicles, not tents. Berman’s office should also reach out to the League of California Cities to make sure communities understand that the parking lots would be open to homeless students only, not to other homeless people. The colleges have made it clear that they want to grapple with the issue of homelessness and near-homelessness among their students. This is one way to do that. In the Los Angeles Community College District — which did a survey showing that 18.6 percent of its students

had experienced periods of homelessness — officials have yet to take a position. L.A. City College, which is part of the L.A. Community College system, has been exploring the possibility of allowing some overnight parking by its homeless students. College officials might look at Cypress College President JoAnna Schilling’s efforts to launch a parking program for homeless students living in their vehicles. Schilling has mapped out a plan that would park students in one lot — near the campus security office — and set up portable bathroom facilities. Students would register with campus security and agree, in writing, to a set of rules, including no use of drugs or alcohol. Schilling is still conferring with local officials and community groups about the plan. Safe parking is not a solution to homelessness. But, properly and carefully undertaken, an initiative such as this one could offer much-needed assistance to students who are already working on improving their lives by getting a college degree, and who deserve what help we can offer.

Sycamores golf team visits S.C. for Kiawah Island Classic Athletic Media Relations
The Indiana State women’s golf team shaved nine strokes off their opening round total to move into a tie for 31st place after the second round of the 2019 Kiawah Island Classic. The event is a three-day, threeround event being held at both the Osprey Point (Par 72 – 5,984 yards) and Oak Point (Par 72 – 5,977 yards) Golf Resorts. Indiana State’s round of 306 is nine strokes better than their 315 team showing on Sunday and helped them improve their standing by seven spots. The Sycamores are tied with Presbyterian with a two-day total of 621 which is tied for 31st. “We made a nice improvement today,” head coach Greg Towne said. “Sierra Hargens got her score down to four under on a difficult course. Everyone else fought to save shots. We are looking to keep moving up the leaderboard tomorrow.” Hargens finished with an even par score of 72 after tallying an 81 on the opening day. Her two-day total of 153 is tied for 101st place. She got her score down to four under with two holes

Rally falls short in 9-7 loss to Western Kentucky Athletic Media Relations
Indiana State scored six runs over the final three innings but the comeback effort fell short in a 9-7 loss to host Western Kentucky in the final game of the Hilltopper Classic in Bowling Green Monday night. Western Kentucky (10-2), which has now won five straight, took an 8-1 lead into the fifth inning. But that’s when the Sycamore bats started to get hot and the spark came from a little sparkplug herself. Bailey Martin, who tied a career-high four hits and three runs scored in the game to lead Indiana State (7-3), hit a solo home run to right center in the fifth. The next inning it was Martin again, this time with a single that would, aided by a WKU error, score two runs. That error – WKU’s lone miscue on the day – would allow the speedy Martin to score. And it was Martin again in the seventh with a two-out RBI single to score Becky Malchow from second with Mann sending her home in the next at bat. That, following a Hilltopper pitching change as Shelby Nunn took the circle, brought the tying run to the
plate in the form of Bella Peterson, who crushed the ball to left field but it was caught for the final out. Nunn (1) claimed the save for WKU while Kennedy Sullivan (7-0) maintained her perfect record on the year. Abbey Kruzel (0-1) was charged with the loss after allowing four runs on four hits in 1 2/3 innings pitched in the circle. Arielle Blankenship allowed four runs in two innings in relief but only one of those was earned as Indiana State matched a season-high three errors. PLAYER OF THE GAME Bailey Martin gets the nod after tying a career-high four hits, hitting her second home run of the season (and fourth of her career), tying a career-high three runs and driving in another three, matching a season-high mark. STAT OF THE GAME Senior leadership. Indiana State’s three seniors of Shaye Barton, Brooke Mann and Bailey Martin combined for 10 of Indiana State’s 15 hits, all five of the team’s RBI and three of the seven runs. In all the senior trio was 10-for-13 (.769) at the plate. PITCHERS OF RECORD Win: Kennedy Sullivan, Western

Men’s Basketball seniors to be recognized this Saturday in the Hulman Center Emari Washington Reporter
Seniors to be recognized this Saturday The ISU men’s basketball team is set to host the UNI Panthers Saturday evening at Hulman center. This will be a night to remember for the guys, as it is senior night at Hulman Center. The seniors who will be celebrated during senior night will be Allante Holston, Devin Thomas and Emondre Rickman. It is anticipated that many Terre Haute residents will come out and support these seniors on what could possibly be their last home game of the year. The last time these two squared off the game was neck and neck until the end where the Sycamores ended up falling to the Panthers 69-64. The Panthers home court advantage and their late game efforts ended up pushing them over the hump. The Sycamore’s are still trying to find that spark to light their fires for the post season and this is a great chance for them to make a statement. The Sycamores have been averaging about 70 points per game with a lot of help from their senior guards. In their last meeting Jordan Barnes recorded a nice double-double with 15 points and 11 rebounds. Both teams are at a close dead even in overall standings and they reside in the same conference, any fans attending will get a game of sheer effort from both sides of the court. Being that Jordan Barnes is

ranked third in the MVC in scoring with 17.2 points per game, you can expect a similar performance Saturday. The coaching from both sides is going to dictate the outcome of this game. Both coaches are on the hunt for the W and neither will go down without a fight. It
is clear that ISU’s Greg Lansing has faith in his team regardless of them being .500. Coach Lansing believes that down the stretch UNI, “stuck to their game plan and were a better UNI than we were ISU.” Showing that he still has faith in his team while still paying re-
spect to their opponents, Coach Lansing also touches on the belief that going against UNI you have to have “good patience” in order to win against this team because of how sound and disciplined they were in that game. UNI is coming off a four game win streak in conference play
the team is fired up for Thursday evening inside Hulman Center. They can expect the Sycamores to be matching their same energy, so come out to represent and celebrate the ISU basketball team as they get ready to enter their post season!
Sycamores Baseball prepares for first home game of the season Jordan Koegler Reporter
Athletic Media Relation
Infielder, Mitch Barrow, batting in past game of the 2019 season.
Continuing an undefeated record this far into the season, Indiana State baseball will host Austin Peay State University at Bob Warn Field Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The Friday game will begin at 2 p.m. and both the Saturday and Sunday games will begin at 1 p.m. The weekend games will mark the first home game for ISU this season. Indiana State are on a seven game winning streak, it will be an intense game to see if the trees can continue the winning streak against Auburn this coming weekend. Last time the Sycamores were in action was Wednesday, Feb. 27 in an away game against Western Carolina. The Sycamores and Catamounts played each other twice within the last week. ISU is
demonstrating top key players and continues to remain strong. The trees hold a trio of strong pitchers on the mound. Germy Guerrero, Austin Cross and Jake Ridgway have all been powerful coming out of the bullpen so far this season. An ISU junior infielder, Mitch Barrow, is a top batter for the Sycamores. He has hit two home runs this season. Senior outfielder, Luke Fegen, is a key hitter for the Sycamores. He has a hitting average of .299 and will continue to be a strong player offensively and defensively for Indiana State. On the other side, Austin Peay has a current record of 2-4. They have a two game winning streak. The last time the Governors were in action was against Vanderbilt Wednesday, Feb. 27.
Garrett Spain, an outfielder
freshman, is a powerful hitter for the Governors with a batting average of .458. Indiana State pitchers are going to want to pay attention to the pitches they are throwing at Spain this coming weekend. David Martinez, a catcher for the Governors, is in the top line of the teams batting and is a leader after two weeks into the season. He has a .467 hitting average and he has a .579 on-base percentage. Austin Peay starting pitchers are Jacques Pucheu and Josh Rye. The two are proficient at throwing strikeouts. ISU hitters are going to need to keep an eye on the pitches being thrown when up to the plate to bat during the threeday weekend games against the Governors. The first game between the two teams will begin Friday, March 1 with the first pitch being thrown at 2 p.m. in Terre Haute at Bob Warn Field
Women’s Basketball looking for sweep against Evansville Jay Adknis Reporter
This Friday, the Indiana State University Sycamores Women’s basketball team will stay home to compete against their rivals, the University of Evansville Purple Aces. This is the second matchup of the season between the two rivals. The first matchup ended with a 76-69 road victory for Indiana State. The Sycamores are currently 11-15 on the season and are coming off of a 96-77 road loss to the #24 ranked Drake University Bulldogs. For the Sycamores, junior guard Ashli O’Neal leads the team in points per game (12.9), assists per game (2.6), and steals per game (2.5). Senior forward Ty Battle leads the team in rebounds per game and blocks per game with 5.7 and 0.8, respectively. Senior forward Regan Wentland leads the team in minutes per game with 31.6 minutes.

The Purple Aces are coming off a brutal loss against UNI as the final score was 95-46. The game was already decided by the end of the first half, as the score was 46-22. Evansville looks to redeem themselves against the Trees so they can build their confidence back up before season’s end. The Indiana State Sycamore women’s basketball team will compete against the University of Evansville Purple Aces this Friday at 7 p.m. at the Hulman Center. The game can be watched on ESPN+ and it can be heard on the radio at WIBQ 1230.
