Gun sighted on campus Friday morning Kristi Sanders News Editor

The Indiana State University Police are looking for Jomo Kenyatta Bennett as a person of interest in connection with a gun reported on ISU’s campus Friday morning.

A campus-wide notification was made to the campus community at approximately 10:30 a.m. announcing a man with a handgun in the Rhoads and Hines Hall areas.

Bennett is described as 5 feet 8 inches tall, weighing approximately 145 pounds with a thin build.

In a crime alert from Public Safety, it stated Bennett as having, “long dreads wearing black basketball shorts. He was also carrying a red and black pack.”

ISU officers are still gathering information and the Terre Haute Police Department is also involved in this investigation.

In a release by ISU, it stated, “It is believed the man was looking for a specific person concerning a personal matter.”

Joseph Newport, the chief of police at ISU PD, is helping investigate this incident.

“The man was looking for a specific person and later fled north from campus,” Newport said.

The ISU Police request anyone with information on Bennett to contact them at 812-237-5555 or by calling the Terre Haute Police at 812-232-1311.

ISU sees increase in donations

Nevia Buford Reporter

Indiana State University has seen an increase in the amount of funding received from donations this year.

An example of this increase is a $1 million donation from the Gayle and Bill Cook Foundation that was received Oct. 15 at the Sesquicentennial Gala.

One reason for this increase is because of some of the recent events and changes that have happened on campus.

“There is a lot of excitement right at Indiana State,” said Kim Kunz, the director of external relations from the ISU foundation. “With the momentum on campus with the highest all-time enrollment, launch of the Sesquicentennial Era, new programs, No. 1 national ranking for service, and more, our alumni, friends and Terre Haute community are showing their support with philanthropic gifts to the University.”

The ISU Foundation receives gifts for ISU and works to gather funds.

“The Foundation is responsible for annual, major gift and legacy gift fundraising as well as donor stewardship, endowment management and distribution and alumni relations functions for Indiana State University,” Kunz said.

Another reason is because of the ISU Foundation’s efforts to secure additional donations for the university.

ISU to sell unused land Morgan Gallas Reporter

Indiana State University is selling the plot of land located at 836 North 6 ½ St. because the university does not plan to develop the land.

The parcel of property is a part of the land that ISU bought for future use but has not found any purpose for.

“The property was originally purchased to land bank for future use,” said Diann McKee, University Treasurer and Senior Vice President for finance and administration. “The university has no plans to develop the property, and it is located in an area of Greek housing.”

The Board of Trustees discussed what would be done about the plan during a meeting.

“It is recommended the resolution … be approved and forwarded to the Governor of the State of Indiana declaring the real estate to be surplus and requesting permission to sell the real estate for not less than the full appraised value as determined by appraisers to be appointed by the Governor,” reads

ISU has seen a rise in donations recently, evidenced in part by the $1 million donation by the Gayle and Bill Cook Foundation made at the Sesquicentennial Gala on Oct. 15.

“Because of the Foundation’s work with these constituents over the years, we are seeing a positive return on these efforts,” Kunz said. “Actually, the comparative growth the Foundation is experiencing this year-to-date is contradictory to national trends. As both the number of fundraising dollars and donors are up year-to-date, nationally other similar organizations are seeing a decline in

the number of donors, but an increase in overall giving.”

For the current 2015-2016 academic year, $1.8 million in donor-funded endowed scholarship and programmatic funds have been made available to Indiana State University. The donations received can fund many things on campus, at the discretion of the donor.

“Donors can also designate their support to specific in-

terests such as student scholarships, academic programs, athletics, experiential learning, service opportunities, facilities and other philanthropic passions at the university,” Kunz said.

Some of the university’s donors are part of the Book and Torch Society, which recognizes generous donors. Members include Sodexo, Wright Industries and many others.

Patricia makes landfall without predicted powerful punch Deborah Bonello Michael Muskal

MEXICO CITY — Across Mexico, residents and tourists exhaled in relief and began cleaning up on Saturday after the remnants of Hurricane Patricia blew toward Texas and the Gulf of Mexico.

Packing record 200 mph winds and rated a Category 5 storm before coming ashore, Hurricane Patricia barreled into the tourist-rich west coast at a speed of 165 mph on Friday evening.

At sea, it had rapidly grown to record strength. But less than 24 hours after making landfall, it had dissolved into a rainy low pressure area, carrying winds of only 30 miles per hour, a far cry from what meteorologists had called the strongest storm ever to form in the Western Hemisphere.

There were no reported deaths, but some injuries, officials said. Little damage was reported in coastal communities and resorts.

Flooding continued to be a major concern in the Mexican mountains and for Texas, where eight to 12 inches of rain were predicted. Some spots could receive as much as 20 inches, according to meteorologists.

The National Hurricane Center warned of flash flooding and mudslides in areas of the United States where as many as 10 million people could still

have to deal with the watery fallout.

Mexican officials said more than 1,780 shelters had been set up for more than 240,000 people. About 3,500 people from a small island off the coast of Colima state remained in shelters Saturday night. In addition, a 50,000-strong force had been mobilized in Jalisco, Colima and Nayarit, and at least 4,000 Mexican navy officers were dispatched to areas at risk.

“We are fortunate the hurricane … went to the mountainous areas,” Communications and Transport Minister Gerardo Ruiz Esparza told reporters.

“That lessened the impact.

The wind and water hit us but our infrastructure was able to withstand that hit. The worst went to the mountains.”

Like many on the day after, Francisco Javier Rincon Manzo, 16, returned to his family’s roadside fruit stand Saturday, near Cihuatlan but found that much of it had been blown away — the apples, watermelons and bananas gone. He had spent the night hunkered down with family members.

“We heard the winds screaming,” he said. “Roofs were flying. Tree branches too.” It lasted more than four hours. His family’s roof stayed on, he said.

Omar Rojas from the local Civil Protection office said the most serious damage was that a few stalls lost their roofs and some trees were uprooted.

“There’s been no loss of life,” Rojas said via telephone. “The

river is high and there has been some flooding, but nothing very serious.”

Mexico had prepared for the worst, with officials warning people to stay indoors and brace for Patricia, which made landfall in a lightly populated area along Mexico’s Pacific coast but avoided direct hits on the resort city of Puerto Vallarta and the major port of Manzanillo.

Both the warnings and the sparse population helped in keeping down the damage.

Patricia had surprised weather analysts with the pace of its growth, increasing from a tropical storm Thursday to a Category 5 hurricane by Friday morning, more than doubling in power and speed in less than 24 hours.

Meteorologists said it was almost a perfect example of rapid intensification as warm Pacific waters and a calm upper atmosphere fueled its growth.

In less than 16 hours, what was a dangerous storm when it hit the coast had broken apart to an unnamed tropical depression moving across Mexico. It crossed the mountains, which served as a brake.

The mountains were a key reason why the storm dissipated, Dennis Feltgen, a spokesman for the National Hurricane Center in Miami, told the Los Angeles Times. “These mountains disrupted the storm system, and they just tore it apart.

“It is also no longer over water, which is like fuel for hurri-

canes,” he said.

On Saturday morning, the Mexican tourist resorts in Colima and Jalisco were reported to be calm and free of serious damage, in what Tourism Secretary Enrique de la Madrid described as a stroke of “extraordinary luck.”

Fallen lampposts, trees and billboards, accompanied by some flooding, appeared to be the extent of the damage in coastal communities. No deaths had been reported.

Jose Trinidad Lopez, director of Civil Protection in Jalisco, said Saturday morning: “We have no reported deaths. In Puerto Vallarta, we have reports that all is calm, hotels are operating normally, the infrastructure wasn’t damaged and both national and international tourists are safe.”

But Trinidad Lopez emphasized that it was still early to know the full effect of storm in more rural, hard-to-reach areas.

“Many people remained in their homes in high-risk zones, and it’s too soon to know what happened to all of them,” he said.

‘The Claire Play’ world premiere a magical journey Libby Roerig

ISU Communications and Marketing

A play about a love-inspired magical journey is just that for its cast and director.

“The Claire Play,” a modern fable making its world premiere on Indiana State University’s New Theater stage Nov. 4-8, is equal parts challenging and thrilling, say actors Annalyce Winkler (Claire) and Maverick Schmit (Devon, Cowboy and Man).

“It’s an honor. There’s something about being the team that

puts a piece of art on its feet for the first time,” said Schmit, a theater major from Danville, Illinois. “Reina Hardy, the playwright, really put something magical together, and I hope the first time she sees it produced, it’s something she’s proud of.”

“It’s wonderful to have the opportunity, but it’s also incredibly daunting. Because there’s no one else’s take to look at, there’s no way to tell if I’m doing it wrong,” said Winkler, a theater major from Elkhart, Indiana. “It keeps you from cheating. I can’t be like, ‘Oh, I

don’t know I would feel in this situation, so I’m going to watch this production and see how they handle her emotions.’”

Director Julie Dixon, associate professor of theater, selected the play because she wanted to put on a visually spectacular production for the community.

“I thought this would be the perfect vehicle to show what we’re capable of doing. It’s a very magical play,” she said.

In addition to interpreting a never-staged script, the play’s scientifically inspired content is another challenge.

“The playwright loves science

and she loves magic. It was really challenging for me to turn myself into an astrophysicist.

‘OK, I have the weekend to turn myself into an astrophysicist.

Where do I start?’” Dixon said with a laugh.

But with science and magic come grand visual opportunities. For instance, the set design was inspired by an 18th century orrery — a model of the planets and sun — because the universe is where most of the action takes place.

Indiana State expands advertising Morgan Gallas

New proposal by Obama calls for scaling back of standardized-testing prep

Reporter

Changes have been made to the marketing strategy at Indiana State University in order to cover a greater demographic. ISU’s marketing plan is meant to attract students from around the country to the school.

“We have made a few changes for the 2015-2016 recruitment season,” said John Beacon, senior vice president for enrollment management, marketing and communications for ISU. One change is that ISU is marketing more in the Chicagoland area.

“Although we have targeted the Chicago metropolitan area for several years, we have not extended our reach, until now, to the northwest corner of Illinois, nor the central portion of the state around Springfield,” Beacon said. “We have purchased search names from SAT and sent direct mailings to high school prospects in these developing areas.”

Since getting in contact with prospective students, there has been an increase in interest from the areas contacted, specifically the Chicagoland area. The marketing plans are also advertising to a growing demographic: Hispanic populations.

“With an awareness that Latino/ Hispanic populations are the fasting growing and largest minority populations in the nation, three years ago we began targeting these specific markets,” Beacon said. “We developed a television commercial in Spanish, for Spanish speaking television channels in Indianapolis and have run commercials on them during our recruitment season.”

The plans have been seen as successful so far with an encouraging growth in new student enrollment from the Latino/Hispanic population.

“Our marketing campaigns are engineered to accomplish two goals: one, help grow our student enrollment, and two, make alumni, business leaders and legislators more aware of the contributions ISU is making on the social and economic welfare of the state,” Beacon said.

A major part of the marketing strategy is creating the Sycamore brand.

“We continue to use the same brand (of the) Sycamore leaf and the tagline “There’s More to Blue,” as they are both popular and have become our signature around the state,” Beacon said. “Building on this existing strategy helps promote our name around the state and helps build campus pride.”

The Sycamore brand has helped bring in more students than the university has ever had.

“With a total enrollment of 12,584, (which is) the highest enrollment in our history, the freshman class this fall was 2,784 students, the sixth consecutive year of the largest entering freshman classes in the past 150 years,” Beacon said. “These large classes have helped us increase our total enrollment by 30 percent over the past eight years.”

Indiana State’s next goal is to have a freshman class of 3,000 students to put total enrollment to 14,000 students by 2017, Beacon said.

“Because the number of students graduating from high schools in the Midwest is projected to be flat over the next decade, I think we will see the most future enrollment growth in online learning (distance education), with more nontraditional age students seeking college degrees,” Beacon said.

The university is working to compete for student enrollment with schools around the nation.

“While (this is) not a new marketing strategy, we are always making revisions to our existing campaign by focusing on new markets and revising our messages as we are in a very competitive market with peer institutions, (so we) need to keep our strategy fresh,” Beacon said.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration executed a significant aboutface in its education policy Saturday, calling for a cap on the amount of time students spend taking standardized tests.

The move comes amid growing opposition from teachers and many parents who assert that high-stakes testing has classrooms focused on rote preparation and has squelched creativity.

The announcement breaks a pattern of more than a decade of efforts by the Obama and George W. Bush administrations to emphasize standardized tests as a primary way to hold schools and teachers accountable for what students learn. Education reform groups as well as civil rights organizations have backed testing as a way to ensure that school districts provide better instruction to poor and minority students.

But in the new policy, the administration acknowledged the focus on testing was “consuming too much instructional time and creating undue stress for educators and students.” It called on states and school districts to cap the time spent on assessments at no more than 2 percent of classroom hours and pledged to ask Congress to enact the limit into law.

“Students do best on highquality assessments that actually measure critical thinking and complex skills when they have been exposed to strong instruction, which should be the focus” of the school day,

U.S President Barack Obama calls for a cap on the amount of time students spend taking standardized tests.

the Department of Education wrote in a memo outlining its new plan.

The change in policy also has a major political implication. The administration’s push for testing has alienated teacher unions, which are a major force in the Democratic Party, creating a breach that has proved troublesome for the party’s front-runner in the presidential race, Hillary Clinton.

The country’s two major teacher unions voiced support for the new plan.

President Barack Obama announced the policy shift in a video posted on Facebook.

“Learning is about so much more than filling in the right bubble,” he said, calling for tests to be high-quality, a limited part of the curriculum and just one measurement of a student’s progress.

The Obama administration’s new effort to streamline

testing is an attempt to roll back some of the mandates of the No Child Left Behind Act implemented during the Bush administration. Such changes are also in discussion on Capitol Hill, where amendments to the law are under consideration that would preserve annual reading and math exams but end their status as the sole measure of how schools and teachers are performing.

Critics of testing requirements welcomed the administration’s move but cautioned that much more needs to be done to overhaul educational assessments.

“Now is the time for concrete steps to reverse counterproductive testing policies, not just more hollow rhetoric and creation of yet another study commission,” said Bob Schaeffer of FairTest, a group that advocates for better educational testing.

The American Federation

of Teachers, the largest union representing classroom instructors, also favors less testing.

“The fixation on high-stakes testing hasn’t moved the needle on student achievement,” Randi Weingarten, the group’s president, said in a statement.

“Testing should help inform instruction, not drive instruction. We need to get back to focusing on the whole child — teaching our kids how to build relationships, how to be resilient and how to think critically.”

The issue of how much and how often students should be tested is one that education officials and parents have grappled with for years.

Of equal concern to many is how much time students spend preparing for tests, particularly since the enactment of the No Child Left Behind

Does Berkeley astronomer’s downfall signal shift in attitudes over sexual harassment?

Katy Murphy and Thomas Peele

The Oakland Tribune (TNS)

BERKELEY, Calif. — In the world of astronomy, Geoff Marcy was considered otherworldly, like the dozens of planets he discovered in distant solar systems.

But in a flash last week, the white-hot glare of social media revealed the darker side of the University of California, Berkeley professor, a titan in the field who sexually harassed aspiring female scientists. And just as notably, it exposed how many of his colleagues and institutions appeared to know about his behavior — but were either too intimidated or indifferent to stop him.

After years of inaction, it took just five days for an international firestorm to force Marcy to resign from his prestigious posts at UC Berkeley and the $100 million Breakthrough Listen project to study extraterrestrial intelligence.

The question many are asking now is: Is Marcy’s undoing simply a rare example of the stars aligning? Or does his swift departure signal a profound shift in how soci-

ety reacts and responds to sexual harassment and abuse on campus and in corporate boardrooms?

What’s so extraordinary about Marcy’s case is that once it made headlines “so many people across the board were able to publicly say, ‘I know this guy is in the running to be a Nobel laureate, and I don’t think he should be in our field,’” said Robin Nelson, an assistant professor of anthropology at New York’s Skidmore College and who published a study last year on sexual harassment in academia.

Nelson said she senses a groundswell of changing attitudes over sexual harassment behind the digital expressions of moral outrage over hashtag GeoffMarcy.

Ever-greater numbers of women in the workforce, growing activism against campus sexual assault and high-profile exposes of rape and harassment in the military have shined a bright light on similar issues, Nelson said.

Increasingly, the public is fed up — not only with the harassers but with institutions that look the other way.

Two women said in interviews last week with the Oakland Tribune that they tried to

report Marcy for similar behavior when he taught at San Francisco State University in the mid-1990s. Both were sickened to see that he was found to have harmed other students at Berkeley — yet allowed to keep his position.

Preet Dalziel, who now lives in Walnut Creek and teaches at a Bay Area high school, said she worked for Marcy as a graduate student; he was also her master’s thesis adviser. At first, Dalziel said, she tried to ignore off-color comments and back rubs he would give to other students. But one day, as they were looking at code on his office computer, she said, he touched her breast.

Dalziel said she went to report what happened to the campus sexual-harassment officer, but was discouraged from filing a formal complaint. Her classmate Lynda Williams told the newspaper she also reported behavior from Marcy that made her and other students uncomfortable, but that she, too, was talked out of pursuing the matter further.

Dalziel had aspired to work at NASA but left the astrophysics field, disillusioned — and convinced she could not get a good reference from the mentor she tried to accuse of

harassment.

She said she hopes the outcry over UC Berkeley’s response forces universities to take their students’ complaints more seriously.

“It just kind of hurts me because it’s not right,” she said.

“I don’t want professors to feel that they can get away with this stuff because they have tenure or they did something great.”

Marcy, 61, has not responded to repeated requests for comment, including to the allegations made by Dalziel.

Asked about the assertion that students’ claims about Marcy were swept under the rug, San Francisco State spokeswoman Adrianne Bee said the campus had no record of complaints against the faculty member, who was an adjunct professor there until the College of Science and Engineering terminated his appointment on Wednesday.

Like the disgraced comedian Bill Cosby, who enjoyed a pristine reputation before dozens of women slowly came forward to accuse him of drugging and sexually assaulting them, Marcy seemed untouchable.

He and his researchers are

In 2005, he shared the $1 million Shaw Prize in Astronomy, describing in his acceptance speech the ultimate goal of the work — to discover life elsewhere in the universe.

At the UC Santa Cruz Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics’ “Evening with the Stars,” celebrating the university’s 50th anniversary in August, Marcy was “the star,” lecturing on behalf of his alma mater at the Lick Observatory. As for the brilliant professor’s darker side?

“We didn’t know,” said Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz, chair of UC Santa Cruz’s Department of Astronomy and Astrophysics.

Yet others, like Harvard astronomy professor John Asher Johnson, who was one of Marcy’s key assistants at Berke-

ley, revealed on a blog post last week that his “inappropriate actions toward and around women in astronomy is one of the biggest ‘open secrets’ in astrophysics.”

But not until Oct. 9, when BuzzFeed News revealed UC Berkeley’s investigation into his behavior in a story titled “Famous Berkeley Astronomer Violated Sexual Harassment Policies Over Many Years,” did the magnitude of Marcy’s other side catch up with him.

Four women accused him between 2001 and 2010 of repeatedly kissing, groping and giving unwanted massages to students, according to a complaint filed with the university.

“While I do not agree with each complaint that was made, it is clear that my behavior was unwelcomed by some women,” Marcy wrote on his faculty page before resigning last week in his only public comments since the scandal broke. “It is difficult to express how

the Board of Trustees meeting notes.

The land has not yet been appraised, so the estimated value will not be known until the appraisals are complete.

Even though the land is vacant, the university still must maintain the lot, which is one reason they are going to sell the land.

“Because of limited usage and cost of maintenance, said real estate is no longer needed for university purposes, and it would be in the best interests of the university to sell said real estate at this time,” read the Board of Trustees meeting notes.

The money made from selling the land will go back to the university for future use.

“Funds from (the) sale will go back into a revolving land purchase account for future land purchases,” McKee said.

law and the more recent Common Core academic standards.

Students now spend up to 25 hours each year taking tests, according to a study released Saturday by the Council of Great City Schools, which reviewed the country’s 66 largest school districts.

The study found that between kindergarten and the 12th grade, students are given about 112 standardized exams.

For the average eighth-grader, the council’s report said testing alone amounts to 2.3 percent of classroom time. That did not include additional time spent preparing for the tests.

But the council did not reveal whether that was too much or too little, as each student is different. “How much constitutes too much time is really difficult to answer,” said Michael Casserly, the council’s executive director.

Obama’s move was welcomed by Clinton, who has been caught between the push by teachers unions to relax testing requirements and a White House that

painful it is for me to realize that I was a source of distress for any of my women colleagues, however unintentional.”

But revelations that UC Berkeley had earlier let Marcy off with a warning after concluding that he had serially harassed students, led to countless blog posts, news articles and calls for his firing spread at breathtaking speed.

“We are extraordinarily disappointed in our institution for protecting an alleged serial predator who allegedly harassed both undergraduate and graduate students,” read an op-ed in the Daily Californian signed by more than 20 student leaders and alumni. Suddenly, critics of a powerful figure and an even more powerful institution had their own gathering force and strength in numbers. Now, many are watching to see if universities will learn from their treatment of Marcy and start to change.

On Wednesday, campus Chancellor Nicholas Dirks wrote in a statement that

Marcy’s behavior was “contemptible” and pointed the finger at the university’s faculty discipline system, saying it needed to be re-examined.

The next day, UC President Janet Napolitano convened a joint committee to do just that, writing to the regents: “The recent internal investigation that substantiated charges against a tenured Berkeley faculty member for repeatedly sexually harassing students has highlighted the urgent need to review university policies that may have inadvertently made the investigation and resolution of this case more difficult.”

Williams, a physics professor at Santa Rosa Junior College, said she is dubious how quickly things will change.

“That is the real story here. Not just Marcy,” Williams wrote in an email.

“The whole system of complaint and grievance in academia is corrupt because women have to go to administrators whose job it is to make it go away.”

had shown little sign of backing down.

“Standardized tests must be worth taking, high-quality, time-limited, fair, fully transparent to students and parents, just one of multiple measures and tied to improving learning,” the presidential candidate said in a statement, adding that she “embraced” Obama’s new initiative.

As Clinton courted the unions for their endorsement of her pursuit of the Democratic nomination, the rank and file resisted. Her reluctance to map out a detailed policy agenda that would scale back testing requirements and slow the spread of charter schools was a major sticking point.

Clinton had been vague about her education plans, using language that signals she is troubled by the proliferation of testing without pledging any concrete steps to scale it back.

When the American Federation of Teachers endorsed Clinton early in the summer, there was an intense backlash from members who do not trust she would steer the Department of Educa-

tion in a new direction.

The National Education Association, the nation’s largest union — which also backed Obama’s plan — only endorsed Clinton after she upended her schedule to appear at its Washington headquarters to make a personal appeal to its board. The leaders of the union’s New Jersey and Massachusetts chapters had urged withholding an endorsement until candidates were more specific about education policy.

But along with the politically powerful teachers unions — a key source of boots on the ground in an election — Clinton has been grappling with equally influential forces on the other side of the debate. Obama administration school accountability measures have proved popular not just with parents, but also with some of Clinton’s most generous donors.

Workshop gets students interested in STEM fields DJ Reynolds Reporter

The two-day Terre Haute Ignite! Scholar Workshop took place at Myers Technology Center Friday and Saturday. The event was a hands-on interactive session featuring activities from NASA’s curriculum and covering science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) topics.

The workshop was hosted by Adrienne Fernandez, content lead of NASA Ignite!, Sonny Kirkley, director of Ignite! STEM and Bev Bitzegaio, the outreach director of the College of Technology.

Ignite! Scholars is a program to train undergraduate students who have a keen interest in working and teaching young people through summer camps and afterschool programs.

It gives undergrads an opportunity to lead fun hands-on activities with K-12 students who are in need of positive role models.

The focus is on STEM topics, but one does not need to be a STEM major or an expert of the topics to participate.

The program is a statewide effort that offers many benefits such as providing training to become an observer or to integrate STEM activities into classrooms or programs and otherwise providing ongoing support.

They provide support that helps students select activities and work through issues.

Students in the program have a distinct impact on the young people they work with while also exploring teaching and mentoring, doing service, building their resumes and sometimes even earning course credit.

On the first evening of the workshop, an activity called Spaghetti Anyone?, also known as the Marshmallow challenge, was presented.

The challenge involves a group of four people who are given supplies — typically 20-30 spaghetti noodles, a pile of small marshmallows, tape, string and one bigger marshmallow — and are tasked to

“It will be gorgeous,” Dixon said. “It has a very dreamlike feel. We’ve tried to create this magically shifting space. It’s the idea that the universe can magically accommodate whatever Claire wants to happen.”

Fables are a way to explain “the really big things in life,” Dixon said. And this one, like most folktales, offers a cautionary tale.

“Things don’t work out very well for (Claire) in the end,” Dixon said. “When a god grants your wish, you need to be careful what you wish for. It’s a folktale in some ways about how sometimes you get what you want — and it’s not what you wanted at all. Be careful when you say you’re done with life,” as Claire does.

Because the play is about its namesake’s emotional journey, most of the first act is a monologue for Winkler.

“It’s not so much the memorization or the lines themselves, but it’s keeping things moving things forward,” Winkler said. “There’s parts where it’s just pages of talking, and you have to keep everyone’s attention and get the ideas across.”

Schmit’s characters vary from Claire’s childhood love Devon, Cowboy and Man, who is the god character.

Switching gears from being a 10-year-old boy with a terminal illness to a god is tough to balance, he said.

Dixon has been in contact with Hardy, the playwright, to ask a few questions, but only when absolutely necessary.

“I’ve tried to keep my correspondence with the playwright to very simple detail things. I don’t want to bother

The challenge utilizes the Engineering Design Process: Identify the Problem, Brainstorming, Design, Build, a cycle of Test, Evaluate and Redesign and Sharing the Solution.

It is an activity that gives youths more freedom in materials and gives more open-ended challenges.

her,” Dixon said.

Hardy will be in attendance for one of the productions — which production is a mystery to the cast, however.

“I’m going to be nervous because we want to make her proud and do justice to the beauty she’s written,” Winkler said. “I think it will be nerve-wracking to meet her, but it’s also going to be incredibly interesting. She’s going to have seen the show, and there’s going to be a discourse, something to talk about — ‘I loved this. You didn’t do this.’ I’m excited.”

Schmit joked that Hardy will question him being cast, but then added “I’m excited.

I’ve never had this opportunity before.”

“The Claire Play” is the second main stage production showcasing new work this season.

The first was “Willy Shakes Pair,” which featured three renditions by Indiana State advanced playwriting students Tim Dick and Nancy Jane Thompson.

“The (theater) department has always had a commitment to new work,” Dixon said.

Winkler says she hopes the audience takes away an appreciation for love and a greater respect for the universe.

“If we get done late and it’s dark, I want them to walk out of the theater and look at the stars,” Winkler said.

Performances are 7:30 p.m.

Tickets are $10 each, with up to 50 seats available for presale, noon-4:30 p.m. Nov. 2-6 in the New Theater lobby, 536 N. Seventh St. All other tickets will be available for purchase beginning 90 minutes before each performance.

Indiana State students’ admission is free with a valid student ID. For more information, call the ticket office at 812-2373333.

Attendants were paired into groups and the groups were instructed to assign a role to give a purpose to each person.

Each role was made so that it was far less likely to dominate the learning environment or have someone be pushed aside.

This also helps foster teamwork among members and allows them to collaborate before calling on an authority.

The activities included a drawing of the solar system, a relative distance tape to give an idea how far each planet is, dough models of planets to give an idea of sizes

of planets compared to others, rotation activities to demonstrate the four forces of flight (lift, gravity, thrust and drag).

The day was finished with building an at-home replica of the CanadArm2 that is on the International Space Station and an attempt at building a safe lander that can land without hurting the passengers (marshmallows).

University police officer recognized

by Special Olympics Indiana An Indiana State University police officer has been named Law Enforcement Torch Run Officer of the Year by Special Olympics Indiana.

Sgt. Jacque Smith was recognized for her more than 15-year commitment to Special Olympics as a member of the Torch Run program, Tip a Cop and for her leadership in ensuring security for the annual Special Olympics Summer Games on the Indiana State campus. Smith was the key officer involved in the Terre Haute Polar Plunge in 2014, helping to raise a record $35,000, and was a torch carrier at the Law Enforcement torch Run National Conference that year.

Smith “has made a huge impact on Special Olympics Indiana for years,” Anita Bean, executive director of ResCare/Normal Life of Indiana, wrote in nominating Smith and Tammy Hurst, assistant to the chief of police at Indiana State, for Spirit of Special Olympics Awards.

“It is impossible to pick between the two of these ladies,” Bean wrote. “It is evident that (they) have each played a significant role in the support of Special Olympics and have exemplified the spirit of the organization,” she said. “Because of their continued efforts, enthusiasm and commitment, they have reinforced the partnership of Special Olympics Indiana and Indiana State University — a partnership that is vital to the participation of all Special Olympic athletes in Indiana.”

Hurst often served as the Terre Haute Polar Plunge Committee’s communications officer Bean said, “basically keeping the members all in line and informed. Her enthusiasm has always been unmistakable.”

Sustainability Day set for Oct. 29 Libby Legett

ISU Communications and Marketing

If you’re looking for an inexpensive Halloween costume this year, join the sustainability festivities and create your own out of recycled materials.

The second annual Campus Sustainability Day celebration will be held 11 a.m. to 8 p.m.

Oct. 29 at Indiana State University’s Hulman Memorial Student Union Room 421 and the Community Garden House, 219 N. 11th St. “I wanted something fun, something to celebrate the work done in order to raise awareness about sustainability at ISU,” said Olivia Underwood, events coordinator for the university’s Institute of Community Sustainability.

“For Halloween, you see people spend lots of money on Halloween costumes. By reusing materials and creating your own mask for Halloween, it is free.”

Underwood, a senior theatre major, has planned many activities for students and faculty to highlight sustainability on campus. Activities include “Weigh the Waste,” “Lights, Camera, Fashion Recycled Fashion Show,” “Eco-Rep Halloween Party” and more.

Underwood’s interest in sustainability began in the university’s Community Garden.

“I’ve always been interested in their garden. I just really like the idea of a community garden,” Underwood said.

The garden plots are provided free, as are tools, water and sometimes seeds. Gardeners

then donate 10 percent of their produce to a Terre Haute charity.

For efforts like the garden, Indiana State was selected the last three years in a row by the Princ-

eton Review as one of the most environmentally responsible colleges in the U.S. and Canada.

“By holding this celebration for sustainability, I see it as a call-

ing out to the community saying you can do even more. This is a celebration for the initiatives we have all taken on this campus for sustainability,” Underwood said.

How to plan for disaster

Zach Davis Columnist

if you live in a multilevel residence. If you are stranded, this kit can give you supplies to last for a few days.

Create an emergency plan. Make sure everyone knows the plan so that you stay together. It is important to stay as a group to help each other if a catastrophe hits. Also, make sure your plan covers different disasters.

For example, if a tornado hits you should get to the lowest and sturdiest place you can, but move to the highest floor for a flood. Designate a place that everyone will meet.

Have a plan for your work and if you are away as well.

Always keep a list of contacts you should have in case of emergency.

The list should have people you can trust to help you, and you would help, plus emergency departments for your area. In the case of an emergency, these people can come take you to the hospital or help you with necessities, such as shelter and food, if something were to ever happen. These contacts can be your first line of defense or first step to recovery. Review these contacts every six months to assure they are up-to-date. If anything changes, try to input it as soon as possible. Keep them updated on your contact information as well. It is good to have a full name, phone, address, relatives and their contact information and any health issues you may have. If you were to be found incapacitated, this information can be given to paramedics so they can be informed of your health issues.

Do some research and find out what kinds of disasters your area is prone to. It’s kind of silly to focus on a blizzard if you are in a tropical area.

Here in Terre Haute, our main focuses should be floods, blizzards and tornadoes. We are in a flat area with a river running through town, greatly increasing our chances for a flash flood. We are also

Hurricane Patricia, one of the strongest hurricanes ever recorded, appeared on Thursday in the Eastern Pacific. The hurricane developed in the span of a day from a tropical storm to a catastrophic Category 5 hurricane. Winds were hundreds of miles an hour with a massive potential for destruction.

Thousands of natives and tourists in the path of the awesome storm had to be evacuated and moved to shelter. Luckily, the storm diminished as quickly as it grew, and there have been no confirmed deaths reported due to the hurricane as of Saturday.

Even though this storm won’t get to us, it is still a reminder that a disaster can happen any time, without warning.

All we can do is prepare for the worst and hope for the best. I will offer some suggestions for how to prepare and handle an emergency if one happens to arise.

The first thing you should do is prepare an emergency kit. Find a waterproof bin that can fit all of your supplies securely. Put in the bin a few days’ worth of canned and dry food, kinds that are already prepared or at least easy to make; some battery operated, waterproof flashlights with extra batteries; a battery operated radio to listen for emergency announcements; a thoroughly stocked first-aid kit; a way to easily make fire, such as lighters or matches; a knife and some blankets.

Keep the emergency bin in an easily accessible location for everyone in the household. Consider having one on each floor PLAN CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Trump turns against Muslims Joe Lippard Columnist

Donald Trump, being infamously well-known for his disdain for Hispanic people, appears to be looking to add another group to the list of people who won’t vote for him. In an interview last Wednesday with Stuart Varney of Fox New Business, Donald Trump had some interesting things to say about Muslims.

Varney brought up the fact that in Britain, proposals have been made that would take away the passports of citizens who leave the country to fight with the Islamic State group, to which Trump replied, “Absolutely.

Good, good.”

Varney then got around to a proposal that might seem extreme. He pointed out that some British politicians have even suggested closing down mosques. Varney asked Trump, “Would you do the same thing in America?”

Trump replied, “I would do that.

Absolutely, I think it’s great.”

Varney seemed taken aback by Trump’s readiness to be so antiMuslim. “Can you close a mosque?” he asked. “We do have religious freedom.”

Trump replied that he hadn’t heard of mosques closing. “It depends, if the mosque is, you know, loaded for

bear,” he said. “I don’t know. You’re going to have to certainly look at it.”

Trump seriously said that he would close down mosques, provided that they were “loaded for bear,” whatever that is supposed to mean.

He would target one group of people just because of their religion.

Trump’s talk got the attention of New York representative Peter King, a famously anti-Muslim politician.

King has been quoted as saying that Muslims are “an enemy living amongst us.” King said that Trump “is talking before he knows what he’s talking about.” He continued, “I have been critical of people in the Muslim community, but the fact is you can’t be shutting down mosques.” Yes, Mr. Donald Trump got the man who said that we should be “finding out how we can infiltrate” mosques because there are “too many” of them to say that he’s gone too far.

Obviously, I disagree with Trump closing down mosques. That’s an extremely blatant violation of the First Amendment. It’s more blatant than Ben Carson censoring speech on college campuses. It frightens me to face the fact that the Republican frontrunner is basing his entire campaign on a fear of the Other. He divides people based on race like few other candidates ever could. Rape is a problem in America? According to him, it’s Mexicans. Terrorism is a threat to the United States? According to Donald Trump, it’s the Muslims. The United States isn’t doing as well as some other countries financially? Trump (and quite a few Republicans) claims that it’s solely the Democrats’ fault. The Chinese do “better” than us because economics is apparently a competition.

TMS/Wright

It seems that Donald Trump is quick to blame everyone but himself, his buddies and his base.

Trump is using nationalism to win the GOP nomination in a way that we’ve seen few other candidates do it. I really hate to make the comparison, but before World War II, Adolf Hitler blamed the Jews for Germany’s troubles. Now, flash forward to 2015, and Donald Trump blames Hispanics for rape and other violent crimes. Deport all Mexicans?

Tell that to top Nazi officer Franz Rademacher, who proposed the deportation of every Jew in Europe.

Rademacher proposed moving the Jews to Madagascar and governing the colony as a police state, which Hitler approved. He wants to close down mosques, while Chancellor Hitler ordered the demolition of synagogues.

Now, am I saying that Donald Trump, of all people, is as bad as Adolf Hitler? Of course not. But Trump is using the same strategies to get into power that Hitler did. He is using the same rhetoric about different groups of people.

The sad part about all this, however, is that it’s working. While recent polls in Iowa show Trump slipping and losing ground to Ben Carson, his anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim, anti-minority rhetoric has gotten him this far; he claims he wants to “make America great again,” a campaign slogan from Ronald Reagan’s presidential campaign in the ‘80s, but the actions he’s talking about taking — deporting millions of people, closing down mosques — affect real Americans in adverse ways that run contrary to his motto of making America “great.”

Don’t let curfew laws put a damper on Halloween fun

Ryan Ballinger Columnist

Curfew laws are in place for many reasons and many states have their own versions.

Indiana’s law mandates anyone younger than 15 be inside

after hours; this includes public places such as parks, fast food joints and other public places that may be open late. Curfew laws help keep juveniles out of trouble, so with this in mind I agree with them.

I think that reasonable times and rules should be in place, not only to control bad behavior, but to keep our teens safe from the harm that may come from strangers as well.

With Halloween around the corner, teens should know of the Indiana curfew laws so they know what time to be home and off the streets to avoid problems.

The age in Indiana is 15-17 years old; any age younger must be with an adult or inside before 11 p.m.

This time can vary according to the day, Saturdays and Sundays 15-17 year olds need to be inside between 1 a.m. and 5 a.m.

On Sunday nights to Thursday nights children need to be in before 11 p.m. Friday through Saturday, they can be out late until almost 1 a.m., but need to be home at 11 p.m. on Sundays because it’s a school night.

For children who are younger than 15 years old, the Indiana curfew is always 11 p.m. until

5 a.m. without the presence of an adult — someone who is 18 years or older.

Nothing bad will happen for breaking the curfew law; however, you may get in trouble if it happens a lot.

Police often have the power to either arrest the minor or take them home.

After many times the officer can also release papers to the court, causing parents to be fined and to approach the situation in more legal terms.

As I said earlier, Halloween is coming, so knowing the curfew law will help parents know when

their kid needs to be home.

If you plan on staying out late, make sure you are with your younger brother or sister, that way they are not only on time but safe.

If they are older and embarrassed by going with you, then inform your guardians about the curfew laws.

That way they can set a time as to when they need to return home so that problems do not arise on Halloween night.

Getting candy is fun and exciting, so let’s make sure it’s done at the right time — while being mindful of the curfew.

hand. Stay in a safe, high area until directed otherwise.

If you are facing a winter storm, get to an indoor area. Keep your car and house stocked with necessary supplies and make sure you have food that can be used cold, if necessary. Be sure to have a cooler in case of power loss so your food can be kept fresh. Do not light a fire indoors or use any sort of fire-based cooking method indoors. These fires release carbon monoxide into the air, a gas that can be lethal if it builds up to a high enough concentration.

If a tornado were to hit, begin by finding the lowest, safest room without windows. The room should be sturdy and it should be a central location everyone can gather. Make sure everyone knows where to be ahead of time and practice drills to make sure everyone knows what to do. Listen to your local news station during storms to keep updated on threats. Also, keep aware of tornado warning signs: dark, greenish clouds; a cloud wall, which is created when the base clouds of a thunderstorm reach lower to the ground; high winds

with loud noises and the classic funnel cloud. Make sure you also know what your town’s warning signal is — usually a siren.

another, this time a facemask penalty, and NDSU soon after scored on a 13 yard pass from Stick to R.J. Urzendowski.

“The penalties hurt us … a lot,” Sanford noted. “It kept drives going for them. Penalties came back to haunt us today. It reared its ugly head and we’ve got to get that under control.”

Indiana State (4-3) never threatened again and Stick put the finishing touches on the Sycamores with: 33 to go in the third quarter, using a 15-yard rush and another extra point to go up 28-

14. Neither team scored in the fourth quarter as the Bison defense continued to work its magic against ISU’s offense while the NDSU offense spent as much time as possible killing the clock.

Both quarterbacks did most of the damage in terms of total offense for each team, a testament to the performance of both defenses. Stick was credited with 250 of NDSU’s 369 total yards while Adam amounted to 161 of ISU’s 201 yards. Neither team featured a running back or wide receiver with 50 yards or more.

Aside from ISU’s defense, which was highlighted by a Lonnell Brown interception and a Katrell Moss forced fumble and recovery, the biggest positive of the game came from Umeh, who turned in his best performance as a Sycamore to date. The punter averaged 46.3 yards per boot and had three punts for over 50 yards.

Indiana State returns to the road this upcoming Saturday and continues its brutal Missouri Valley Football Conference slate at No. 3 Illinois State. Kickoff is slated for 1 p.m.

Johnson scores a goal and adds an assist in victory over Loyola Sycamore Soccer defeated the Loyola Ramblers 2-0 behind an impressive performance from senior Kate Johnson.

Johnson assisted on the first goal of the match, and added an insurance goal in later to give the Sycamores a 2-0 victory. It marks the first Sycamore Soccer victory over Loyola since 2001 and the first under Erika True.

Indiana State improves to 6-9-1 on the season, and 1-3-1 in the Missouri Valley Conference. Loyola falls to 6-7-4, and 1-2-2 in the Valley.

Indiana State tallied nine shots in the contest, with Katie Wells and Sydney Lovelace each earning two shots, with Sydney Loesing, Maggie Richard, Maddie Orf, Brice Bement and Johnson adding one shot each.

Brittany San Roman turned in another stellar performance in goal, earning four saves in the contest, including three in the first half.

San Roman turned away a flurry of shots to end the first half, as well as a diving save in the first 20 minutes to keep the game a 0-0 tie.

The Sycamores took the lead in the 41st minute. Kate Johnson took the ball up the right side of the box and played it in front to Sydney Loesing.

Loesing was able to turn and fire a shot past the keeper to give the Sycamores a 1-0 lead heading into halftime.

Indiana State survived a scare at the end of the first half; the Ramblers were able to fire off three shots within the box to end the half, with a shot going off the post and San Roman earning a save in the process.

ISU added to the lead in the 74th minute.

Sydney Lovelace took a ball up the left side and played it back to Johnson who ripped a shot from 25 yards out over the keeper to give the Sycamores the 2-0 result.

The Sycamores return to action on Thursday as they take on the Illinois State Redbirds at Memorial Stadium at 7 p.m.

Sycamore mistakes costly in loss to NDSU Rob Lafary Sports Editor

All wounds hurt, but sometimes the most painful wounds are those that are selfinflicted, caused by silly mistakes and a lack of awareness.

Such was the case for Indiana State football on Saturday afternoon.

While playing four-time defending FCS national champion and eighth-ranked North Dakota State was a brutal enough task, it was a series of poor judgment and lack of onfield maturity that doomed the No. 18 Sycamores throughout as the No. 8 Bison (5-2) capitalized on the miscues and walked out of Memorial Stadium with a 28-14 victory.

“Very disappointing for the loss for the Sycamores today,” ISU head coach Mike Sanford said following the game. “We had an opportunity, we were knocking on the door … it was 14-14 and we were right there.

We put ourselves in some bad situations today.”

Those bad situations varied through four quarters of football for ISU, but one of the worst situations, which was field position on the offensive side, started immediately when kick returner Marlon Fleming stepped out of bounds on the opening kickoff and set up the Sycamore offense at its own two-yard line. It would be a problem that existed nearly the entire game and allowed North Dakota State to not only excel on the defensive end, but also get off to an early start.

“Our returning of kickoffs was not acceptable,” Sanford said of the return team’s woes.

“We had one at the beginning of the game and then one later that put us in bad field position. We’ve got to be better at that.”

After the Sycamores’ initial series, the Bison scored on a

Junior wide receiver Robert Tonyan Jr. attempts to haul in a pass from sophomore quarterback Matt Adam in Saturday’s 28-14 loss against North Dakota State University.

29-yard touchdown run by redshirt freshman quarterback Easton Stick, who started in the place of injured AllAmerican Carson Wentz and the ensuing extra point gave NDSU a 7-0 lead that paced the visitors for much of the first half.

A combination of superb punting by Osborn Umeh and solid ISU defense kept NDSU at bay for much of the second quarter and kept the Sycamores in contention but the Bison again struck and did it late in the second quarter when Chase Morlock punched one in from two yards out and

Cam Pedersen’s point after made it 14-0.

But that’s when the Sycamore offense finally came to life, even if momentarily. Up against a dwindling first half clock and needing a score, ISU quarterback Matt Adam put together an impressive drive before halftime and capped it off with a 13-yard touchdown pass to Andrew Main with just 10 seconds remaining.

The Sycamores trailed 14-7 at halftime.

But Adam wasn’t finished just yet and after the defense held on NDSU’s first series of the second half, the quar-

terback went right back to work. Going to his strong suit — his feet — the sophomore recorded the team’s longest run of the season and sprinted 81 yards to the endzone for a score that soon tied the game at 14-14 when Eric Heidorn’s point after was good.

However, the wheels again came off, and for the first time all day it was the defense that hiccupped. As good as the offense had been for a little less than 10 minutes going back to the end of the second quarter, any momentum built up was

Kynedi Nalls led the Sycamores with 16 kills on a .500 hitting percentage.

Junior right side Kynedi Nalls led a trio of Sycamores but they couldn’t overcome the Missouri State Bears in five sets (25-20, 14-25, 23-25, 2519, 11-15) on Friday night inside ISU Arena.

Nalls led with 16 kills on a .500 hitting percentage (16-2-28) while junior middle blocker Melody Burdette had 15 and redshirt senior Carly Wishlow added 14.

Senior setter Erika Nord had her second straight double-double night with 57 assists and 10 digs as sophomore libero Stephanie Bindernagel led the back row with 19 digs.

It marked the fifth straight time and seventh time in the last eight matches the two teams went to a decisive fifth set.

ISU took the opening frame behind five of Burdette’s kills and a .355 team hitting percentage for the 25-20 win.

In the second set, Indiana State never really found its footing, trailing quickly 4-12 and called timeout.

Missouri State seemed to cruise through the set as it had just one hitting error on a .565 clip to win the set 25-14.

After the break, ISU rallied let in the third as it tied things up at 23-23 after a block by Wishlow and Nord. But Missouri State rallied for the next two points and the set win 25-23. Set four went the Sycamores’ way, with Burdette once again leading in kills with six.

Leading by just two, Indiana State capped the set off on a 7-2 run for the 25-19 victory.

Pushing the match to another decisive fifth set like they had done so many times before, the two teams traded six ties and three lead changes.

Despite the 7-7 tie at the midway point, Missouri State charged ahead on a couple of Sycamore attack errors and finished the match off on a kill by reigning MVC Freshman of the Year Lily Johnson.

The two teams were evenly matched

in nearly all areas of the match, but couldn’t put it away in the decisive fifth set. The Sycamores had the score knotted at 7-7, but attack errors along with a service reception error helped the Bears put the victory away.

Indiana State Volleyball couldn’t fend off the Missouri Valley Conference’s top team as it fell 0-3 to Wichita State (18-25, 22-25, 24-26) in action at ISU Arena on Saturday evening.

Junior outside hitter Kaebra Pledger led ISU with nine kills while junior right side Kynedi Nalls and junior middle blocker Melody Burdette each added eight.

Junior defensive specialist Shannon Murphy and junior libero Stephanie Bindernagel each had a team-high 11 digs in the loss.

The Shockers took advantage of a .179 hitting clip by the Sycamores in the first set as it led by as many as nine after a service ace.

Indiana State stopped WSU on four set points with a kill and block from Pledger. But ultimately the visitors got the ball to fall in the first as ISU fell 18-25.

In the second, Indiana State pressured the top team in the conference as it got back-to-back kills from senior middle blocker Cassandra Willis to come within two at 21-23.

But the Shockers came through and put away the match 25-22. Indiana State had its best chance in the third as it led late after sophomore defensive specialist Danielle Waedekin laid down a service ace.

The Sycamores forced extra points as Wishlow nailed one down from the middle and tied it up at 24-24. But Wichita State capitalized on an ISU attack error and a service ace to cap off the match.

Despite leading the match with a .234 hitting percentage, Indiana State didn’t have any hitter in double figures on Saturday night. ISU also posted six service errors total in the match.
