As a new marketing campaign aims to raise Indiana State’s presence among alumni and business leaders, the university’s academic identity is vague to its students.
The university released the “There’s More to Blue” campaign in January through a set of advertisements showing its contributions to the community and state. In the commercial spots, the university is showcased as an institution that creates graduates in the “health care” and “high tech” fields.
Indiana State students said that competing colleges such as Purdue University, Rose Hulman and Indiana University have more prominent reputations.
“I know [Indiana University] has a really good nursing program and the Kelly School of Business is also good,” said Darienne Duncan, a freshman nursing major.
Sophomore business major Austin Petersen has always heard about ISU’s education, business and nursing programs.
“The fact that the Scott College of Business is known all over the Midwest as a top business school in the region drew me to ISU,” Petersen said.
John Beacon, vice president of enrollment management, marketing and communications, said that Indiana State’s purpose goes beyond creating a familiar brand.
“We want to be Indiana’s State University,” Beacon said. “We don’t want to be the Harvard of Indiana; our goal is to serve the student who wants a good education that leads [him or her] to employment and a better life.”
Drew Harvey, a sophomore criminal justice major, said that although he considers Indiana University and Purdue University to be academically prestigious, Indiana State is a “rising star.”
“All of [Indiana State’s] independent colleges, such as education and business, are all on the rise,” he said. “I feel like we’re in hot pursuit of Purdue and IU.”
Beacon agreed and said that the perception of Indiana State has been changing for the better. “ISU was not a destination five years ago,” Beacon said. “It was viewed as a safety back-up.”
Freshman social work major Dani Brumfield said the university should be concerned, however, about its retention rate and how that appears to incoming freshman or alumni.
“ISU academics is not very good,” Brumfield said. “We have a big drop-out rate and the [grade point average] you need to graduate is very low.”
According to Indiana State’s spring 2013 enrollment summary, the top degree programs include criminology and criminal justice, nursing, kinesiology, recreation and sport
management, elementary, early and special education and accounting.
Ultimately, Beacon said, students play a part in putting those degree programs at the forefront.
“The student is responsible for understanding the programs and what they can do with them,” he said.

Three candidates have been selected as finalists for the residential life executive director position and will be visiting campus throughout the month.
A series of interview sessions will begin today with Amanda Knerr, senior associate director of residential life at Pennsylvania State University, who will be in HMSU 407 from 12:00 p.m.-12:45 p.m.
Knerr has served in her position at Pennsylvania State since 2007. During her six-year run, she has “planned and implemented university-wide change of campus orientation” and served on a committee that “enhanced the housing contract process,” according to her resume.
Prior to working for Pennsylvania State, Knerr was residential life manager for the University of Alaska and assistant residence hall director for Ball State University.
She has a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Wittenberg University in Springfield, Ohio, and received her master’s
in student affairs administration in higher education from Ball State University. Currently, Knerr is a Ph.D. candidate at Pennsylvania State University.
On April 17, Laurie Berry, director of housing and residential life for the University of Southern Indiana, will be in HMSU 421 from 12:00 p.m.-12:45 p.m.
Berry has been at USI since 1994, but was previously residence hall director with Western Kentucky University, where she received her bachelor’s in English literature and master’s in student personnel services. She is a Ph.D. candidate at Indiana State University.
Berry listed “revamping the housing program” and “establishing a resident self-help program” as part of her achievements at USI.
Mark Hetzler, director of auxiliary services at Northwest Missouri State University, will wrap up the sessions on April 19 from 12:00 p.m.-12:45 p.m. in HMSU 407.
Before beginning his tenure over auxiliary services in 2005, Hetzler held positions as director of residential life and interim associate vice president of student affairs.
Hetzler said he has encouraged “collaborative relationships with facility services to ensure a positive living and learning environment” as part of his duties and “has trained 60 resident assistants in a residence life system serving 2,200 students.”
He received a bachelor’s degree in management from Eastern Illinois University and a master’s of science in counseling from Missouri State University.
Indiana State University’s executive for residential life and housing search committee will determine who will fill the position once the sessions conclude.
The campus community is invited to attend and speak with each of the candidates.

At Indiana State University affordability is one of the top priorities for its students. One way this is emphasized is through the university’s ability to grant scholarships to its students.
This past week in the March 25 publication of our paper, news broke that the ISU Foundation will have less money to give to departments for scholarships. The reason given was that a number of endowments were underwater and in order for them to recover the foundation had to reduce the amount of money they can award.
The ISU Foundation is in charge of managing the university’s investment funds, and from the looks of things, they haven’t done a very good job of managing them.
President Daniel J. Bradley said that the foundation “continued to spend out of some of the funds that were down...I think in retrospective they wish they had better policies”.
As a result of these “less than prudent” policies the university and donors have to help bail out the ISU foundation. Bradley said $300,000 of aid will be provided to help alleviate the situation.
Ron Carpenter, the current president of the foundation, has said one of the possible reasons for the previous administration’s continuous spending was because they were in the middle of a big, multi-million dollar campaign that was attempting to increase enrollment and retention here at ISU.
Carpenter said also that it wasn’t uncommon for higher education institutions to spend during the recession even though some funds were underwater.
Now the university is post-campaign the foundation seeks to go back to a more “prudent” spending policy to ensure those funds recover. Yet, in hindsight shouldn’t the foundation have been prudent all along?
Indiana State is not a big time college like Purdue or Indiana universities and yet they try to spend like they are. They want to be, and that’s understandable. However, the big wigs in the administration offices need to understand that all that spending to attract students here means nothing if ISU cannot successfully keep its commitment to being an affordable, valuable four-year institution.
One of the reasons that people come here is due to affordability. Scholarships are a huge part of that and their protection should always be top priority.
Students are much more likely to stay at a school that helps them financially rather than go to a school that doesn’t.
What those in the offices of the administration don’t seem to grasp is that, as students, if a school isn’t offering us enough money, we will go to a place that will give us money. It’s all well and good to lure us in with fancy buildings and high-tech welcome centers but a scholarship in
hand is worth more than the pretty “brick and mortar” of the university.
Stephen Aldrich, associate professor and chair of the scholarship committee for earth and environmental systems, said that “not being able to award scholarships really hurts the students. It is unfortunate.”
All that we as students and staff can do now is hope that the irresponsibility of the foundation’s spending won’t affect us too badly in the coming years. We have to hope that they will make a speedy recovery. The foundation is currently working on the situation. Better late than never.
They need to remember, though, that their top priority is to the students. Without us there is no alumni, meaning no donations, no need for a foundation. It is in their best interest to ensure we have the funds to complete our education.

Going to the dentist should be an easy thing. You should be able to trust your dentist, and above all you should know that it’s a sterile office.
Medical professionals should follow all sanitary guidelines, and to conduct a safe practice.
But 7,000 patients in Tulsa, Okla. have to get tested to discover if they have been exposed to hepatitis or HIV.
According to CBS News, Dr. W. Scott Harrington, an Oklahoma oral surgeon, has been accused of unsanitary practices and possibly exposing 7,000 patients over the past
six years to hepatitis or HIV. On Saturday, nearly 420 patients were tested for
Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C and HIV. Along with the unsanitary practices, when an Oklahoma State University student had his wisdom teeth taken out at this office, a dental assistant that did his IV sedation was not licensed to do so.
After the state Board of Dentistry filed a 17-count
complaint, inspectors found several problems in Harrington’s office, such as needles being reinserted into drug vials after being used on patients and dental assistants administering sedatives to patients, which only the doctor is licensed to do. There were also expired drugs found in a medicine cabinet in the office.
Another complaint stated that an instrument used for patients was rusty, the dentist, having neglected the proper sterilization, and the office autoclave—a pressurized cleaner—had gone six years without being certified and was not used correctly.
An old friend and patient of Harrington, Suzy Horton, could not believe the accusations that are being made against her friend.
She stated that his practice was “just as professional as anybody’s. The kind of person they’re portraying in the news is not the kind of person who sends you a Christmas card.”
On another note, apparently Harrington is too chicken to stand up for his mistakes; Harrington could not be reached. His two properties have been still and his office closed.
If you were to call his office, you would get an
answering service that refers callers to the Tulsa Health Department. Jim Secrest II, Harrington’s malpractice lawyer, has not responded to any phone messages.
Many people don’t think twice about the cleanliness of their medical professionals’ offices. The place may look nice on the surface, but it’s what happens behind the scenes that matters.
We expect that our medical professionals will be courteous enough to have a legal practice where they are extremely clean and sterile. Unfortunately, today we cannot trust everything we see. As college students we are taught to over-analyze almost everything; this is a good quality when it comes time to select a medical practice.
Everyone should be careful and not overly trusting with their health care providers because things like this can happen anywhere. Be skeptical of the places you visit, the people you’re around.
If something looks suspicious in any way, leave. Your health and well being are not worth the risk.
Don’t hesitate to question your medical providers
As a technology-driven generation, we crave the newest and the latest from the Internet.
One week it’s “Grumpy Cat” and the next it’s suddenly being interested in human rights and the Supreme Court.
Websites such as Tumblr, Reddit and Imgur deliver the newest crazes via user-submitted content. Most users to these sites are proud to have their oh-so-clever user name attached to their “hilarious” cat photos and images that have clearly gone through rigorous Photoshop treatments.
However, there are days where users just don’t want to be named or they have in mind a post that they know would offend or create quite the stir on the Internet and in turn, real life.
What happens on the Internet does not always stay on the Internet, especially when there are Twitter accounts that relate directly to the community in which users live.
Recently, there have been numerous accounts appearing on Facebook and Twitter that bare titles such as “ISU Crushes,” “ISU Confessions” and “ISU Admirer.” These sites allow students to submit their
innermost secrets to unnamed administrators that post them to these accounts for the public to read.
Since the invention of the Internet, it has allowed users to omit their identity and disassociate themselves with their public thoughts. However, this is leading to a society that takes no responsibility for the thoughts produced. If you chose to remain anonymous, then you are showing the world that you don’t stand behind your thoughts and have no way to defend them because you don’t even have a name or any kind of identity.
Somehow the blanket name of “anonymous” allows people to get away with things that they would never say in front of their grandmother or in a polite, cocktail party setting. Etiquette has flown out the door with the gift of Internet anonymity.
The childhood advice that we should treat others they way we would want to be treated applies to this situation. A more advanced way to think about this is philosopher Immanuel Kant’s theory of the categorical imperative that says people should not perform actions unless they want those actions to become universal law.
In this instance, either nothing or everything must be anonymous on the Internet. There is no point to keep identities hidden when it comes to posting content to websites that are hell-bent on sharing information amongst users.
If you like someone, just tell that person. If you think “inspiring” posts about war heroes are boring, then comment about it. If you don’t care about human rights, then shame on you because you’re a human and should probably care about those things.
I do recognize that the Internet is a place to share ideas, but when those ideas spill over into cyberbullying, then hiding behind anonymity won’t save you for very long. Currently, there is no legal consequence for those that post offensive comments, but websites do offer users to report these actions to the administrators of the sites.
There is a fine line between choosing to be anonymous online because, while you think it is saving face for you as an Internet user, it may be hurting others as an unintended consequence. However if you are intentionally hurting someone through your lack of identity, you are proving the “Greater Internet F***wad Theory” to be true.
According to a 2004 cartoon by Mike Krahulik and Jerry Holkins on penny-arcade.com, the addition of anonymity and an audience turns a normal person into a “Total F***wad.” Just like if you gave a mouse a cookie then he’ll ask for a glass of milk, if you let Internet users remain anonymous, they will troll, or post provocative content, to websites daily. Come out from behind your cloak of anonymity and don’t be “that guy.”

A group of Indiana State University technology and engineering education students talked to each other over walkie-talkies as they recently journeyed to Columbus, Ohio, in a three-car caravan.
Though the conversation eliminated the potential boredom created by the travel, the topic of conversation— questions about technology and engineering education —prepared them for one of their activities at their destination: an international conference for technology and engineering educators.
Two groups of Indiana State technology and engineering education students won second place in competitions at the 2013 International Technology and Engineering Education Association Conference.
Cody Eaves, Shayna Otto, Daniel Lewellen and Paul Bennett won second place in the technology challenge, a bracket-style elimination tournament in which university teams answer questions about
technology and engineering education. Molly Joseph and Colby Boyer, junior technology and engineering education and construction management major, garnered second place in a teaching lesson competition for their lesson on the history of aerodynamics and aviation.
“It’s a really big deal for us,” said Boyer, “It was a really good feeling that all the hard work finally paid off a little bit, and get some recognition.”
Boyer and Joseph were part of a team that won a teaching competition at ITEEA’s regional conference in Indianapolis last October.
At the international conference, they created a 10-minute teaching presentation in which they discussed the properties of aerodynamics, along with the similarities and differences in planes that have been created through the decades.
“I think it’s a really big deal to have this on a resume ... ,” said Joseph, “It shows that
we know how to do our job really well.”

The university has not performed as strongly in previous conferences, Colby and Joseph said. While the group reviewed a bit while traveling to Ohio, the quiz-bowl competition also has been one that a few members of Indiana State’s team are familiar with.
“I think [the award] just reflects on the content that we are getting out of the College of Technology,” said Lewellen, a senior technology and engineering education major, who has been competing in the competitions for the last three years. “A lot of the questions that we had were ones that we may not have heard in our tech ed classes, but in the various technology classes we have had.”
Indiana State was well-represented at the conference. Kara Harris, associate professor of applied engineering and technology management and technology and engineering education program coordinator was one of three keynote presenters to discuss the organization, along with challenges and ITEEA’s future.
“The most important thing that our future hinges upon is people and the relationships we have with those people,” said Harris. “We need to really focus on our students, whether those be secondary students, post-secondary students or past students, and help them grow professionally.”
The additional highlights added to what was already expected to be a promising conference for Indiana State. While at the conference, Joseph received the $1,000 award from the international Foundation for Technology and Engineering Educators she won several months ago.
The scholarship was awarded based on her interest in teaching, academic ability and faculty recommendations.” I just couldn’t believe it was offered to me,” said Joseph, president of Indiana State’s chapter of Technology and Engineering Education Collegiate Association and president of the Females in Technology student group. “I was really excited about it, actually, just to be recognized.”
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 8 Holocaust survivor Eva Kor to speak Tuesday
Holocaust survivor Eva Kor will discuss the ethics of medical e x p e r i m e n t a t i o n on people during a presentation on Tuesday at Indiana State University.
Kor, who as a young girl survived medical experiments conducted in a concentration camp by “The Angel of Death” German SS officer and physician, Josef Mengele, she will speak from 5 to 7 p.m. in Hulman Memorial Student Union, Dede III. Her presentation, which is free and open to the public, is part of the annual Ethics Week programming, which is organized and hosted by students in Networks Financial Institute’s Professional Development Program.
“Part of what I want people to get out of Eva’s [Kor’s] presentation is hearing about the Holocaust from a survivor because I don’t think the history books do it justice,” said Chelsea Abanathie, junior operations and supply chain management. “I also want to show that the topic of ethics isn’t only for business students. Decisions regarding ethics and social
responsibility present themselves in everyday life and in all occupations as well. That was one of our goals for this year’s conference.”
Abanathie, who is minoring in German, wanted the C.A.N.D.L.E.S. Museum founder and 1990 Indiana State graduate to speak after watching “Forgiving Dr. Mengele,” a documentary that chronicles Kor’s path to forgiveness after the horrors she endured.
“Even though this might be a sensitive subject, it’s something that
should be heard,” Abanathie said, “especially with the advancements in medical technology today.”
While the presentation is free, people will have the opportunity to become members of C.A.N.D.L.E.S. The Friends of C.A.N.D.L.E.S. membership is $9 for seniors and Indiana State students, and $18 for community members.

As the lights rose, the rhythmic tapping of soles to music began to fill Tilson Auditorium and audience members were greeted with the sight of colorful yellow costumes.
TAP – The Show, a tap dancing troupe from Texas, performed last Wednesday at Indiana State University for students and faculty. The mix of dancers and singers took to the stage covering various music genres. Audience members were treated to various styles of tap dancing such as movements set to a stomp piece and an array of colors, costumes and props such as white screens, umbrellas and chairs.
Donille CAnnon, a criminology major said, “I love how the tapping is so synchronized with the music and everything goes well together.”
Various singers also acted out scenes as part of the performance with dancers in the background. There were a number of solo acts to accompany the rhythms of the tapping shoes as well. Audience members at times joined in and sang along with the performers.
“I’m really glad I went to this show, I love and kind of music, so this was definitely one that I enjoyed,” Cannon said.

The Sycamores fought hard in their first meeting against Bradley as the Sycamores’ 20th ranked fielding defense allowed the Braves to score first in the second inning. The Sycamores responded later in the game with a pair of singles from junior Shelby Wilson and sophomore Megan Stone.
Sophomore utility player Ashley Dickerson advanced both runners ahead by one base. This gave senior Alex Lucas the opportunity to give the Sycamores the lead by hitting a two
RBI double into left center field for a 2-1 lead. The Sycamores efforts continued to get better for the ladies as junior Morgan Allee hit her second career homerun in the top of the seventh for a 3-1 lead. However, the Bradley Braves didn’t back down and scored two runs in the bottom of the seventh sending it to extra innings, then hitting a two-run homerun to win the game 5-3 over the Sycamores.
After a close game in the first match up against Bradley, the Lady Sycamores tried to tie the series 1-1 on Friday night. Scott started at the pitcher position for the second game as well in their second battle versus the Braves. Scott pitchesd four innings allowing four hits and sending two batters to the dugout with a strikeout. ISU went into the second inning trying to penetrate the Braves defenses with a single from freshman Abbie Malchow. Another single from senior Halee Myers got Malchow to third but she didn’t further.
The Sycamores could not get things started this game as the
defense allowed two runs but could not respond on offense causing a 2-0 loss to the Braves.
ISU goes for a win in the final game of the seriesThe lady Sycamores looked to get the final win of the series
to avoid a sweep from Bradley. Bradley scored first with two doubles with two outs in the
bottom of the second inning giving them a 1-0 lead. Wilson hit a single as Stone followed up with a two RBI homerun over the center field wall for her fifth of the year, tied the game, 2-2. This sent the game into extra innings after failing to move runners on the corners with one out. As the Braves came to the plate against the Sycamores defense, they loaded the bases and later singled to take the win in a close game.
Although the ladies took a lost, they look forward to their match up against Big Ten opponent Indiana University at 6 p.m. Tuesday.

WACKY WEATHER
FOR ISUWithin a week, Indiana State students have gone from wearing boots with a hat and scarf to wearing cargo shorts with sandles and a light jacket. Most students are familiar with the reputation Indiana has for its “bipolar” weather, and recently, it has lived up to that reputation. According to The Weather Channel, the rest of the week will bring warmer temperatures with highs of 59 degrees expected by Saturday.
