Students who live in ISU residence halls may be subject to a search of their personal property if police suspect a crime.

ISU police engaged in the search of a student room in Cromwell Hall on Sept. 15 to track down a missing Dell Lenovo laptop. Information available through the Office of Information Technology helped police track down the computer. Police followed up on the lead, and searched the room where the laptop was located after the student gave police permission to do so, and the student was later arrested for theft.

The Sycamores went in to Saturday’s game against 24th ranked Youngstown State University at Memorial Stadium with one thing to prove: that they have gone from pretenders to contenders. After traveling to Western Kentucky University last weekend and coming away with their first win over a NCAA FBS division opponent since 2001, the Sycamores needed to prove that they were not a fluke, and that is just what they did.

Sycamores beat Penguins 37-35

The Sycamores started strong and held on to their lead to finish on top in the high scoring game against Youngstown

State university on Saturday.

Crimes and Consequences—Public Safety

While the arrest of the student may have students con-cerned about the privacy to which they’re entitled, the circumstances of this stolen laptop case aren’t always the norm.

Assistant Director of Public Safety Joe Newport said police must obtain a search warrant in order for the search to hold up in court.

Police must be able to justify the need for a warrant by demonstrating probable cause for the warrant and o� er-ing that to the judge who must sign the warrant.

Police can then use any force necessary to serve a warrant, Newport said.

Indiana State University has the right to conduct an administrative search to enforce rules, as well as criminal laws.

Attorney Lisa Decker, who is also asso-ciate professor of criminology and crimi-nal justice, said that a search is de� ned as a government o� cial “prying in to hidden places” and a seizure involves an o� cial taking custody of property.

Police have some leeway if there is an immediate threat to � e health, safety and welfare interests of citizens, Decker said. In those cases and administrative search with-out a warrant is legal.

Evidence found during an administrative search can be used in criminal court if the evi-dence found is turned over to the police.

Newport explained that administrative searches on campus are issued by the director of residential life and that police are usually present during the searches.

Students may feel violated by the prospect of having their property searched, but the residential contract stu-dents sign with the university subjects them to police searches, Decker said.

Newport said that the conditions for search and seizure vary greatly.

“� e whole subject of search and seizure, whether it be administrative or criminal, is case speci� c,” Newport said. “It’s nearly impossible to compare di� erent events because one small item can alter the facts.”

Students, their on campus residences, their possesions and/or other areas where they have an expectation of privacy are subject to search and siezure under the fol-lowing circumstances, according to the O� ce of Stu-dent Conduct and Integrity website:

Criminal Actions: When police o� -cials have probable cause to believe a crime either has been or is being committed they may conduct searches based on consent; a valid search warrant; incident to arrest; or, in the case of motor vehicles, with proper probable cause; or for purposes of inventory prior to being impouned

Administrative Actions: When

campus o� cials believe a University regula-tion either has been or is being violated, they

may conduct searches based on consent or the permission of designated University o� cials. In ad-

dition, administrative searches of residence hall rooms may be conducted by designated university o� cials as part of either an announced or unannounced health and safety inspection.

Emergency Situations: Police and/or university of-� cials may conduct searches if an obvious threat to life or property exists.

The Indiana Statesman is published Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, except during exam periods and university breaks, and is published three times during the summer. The Indiana Statesman was founded May 16, 1929, the same year that Indiana State Normal School became Indiana State Teachers College. The newspaper began in December 1879 as the State Normal News. In November 1895, the paper was � rst issued as the Normal Advance. Members of the ISU community are welcome to take a single copy of each issue of this newspaper. The unauthorized taking of multiple copies, however, may constitute theft, which is a crime, even with free publications. Thefts will be reported to campus police for possible prosecution and/or for other disciplinary actions.The Indiana Statesman exists for four main reasons: to provide the ISU community with news and information, to serve the campus as a public forum for student and reader comments, to o� er student sta� members chances to apply their skills in di� erent aspects of a news publication, and to give students leadership opportunities.

� e fall semester is not quite half over, but senior communi-cation major Kate Shelley has already begun searching for a job.

“I started looking this sum-mer to see what positions are out there and if those positions were in the areas I want to live in,” said Shelley, who plans to work in public relations.

Graduates of the class of 2012 won’t � ip their tassels un-til commencement next May, but ISU’s Career Center advises students to get a running start with the job hunt now.

Career Center Executive Director Tracy Powers said the � rst step of obtaining a job is gaining an understanding of the desired job � eld. From there, Powers recommends networking with professionals in that � eld.

Shelley said she has contact-ed people she knew with con-nections to public relations to get in touch with appropriate professionals.

“� e more connections a student can make within a ca-reer � eld, the better,” Shelley said. “� ey really help.”

Resources and connec-tions can be found advertised throughout campus as well as in career fairs and on the Web.

� e Career Center is de-signed to help students along

the job search. Powers said the center meets

one-on-one with students and helps them navigate through the process.

Students who are looking for jobs in health and technol-ogy � elds will have more op-tions available to them than students who are interested in other career � elds. Powers said science-related jobs are also opening up, thanks to techno-logical advances.

“Some speci� c resources that can be used are Sycamore CAREERlink under the posi-tion tab, the Sycamore Career Fair and classroom presenta-tions by career center represen-tatives,” Powers said.

Employers are rallying back to career � elds, she said, and a “record number” of employers are expected at this year’s Fall Career Opportunity Fair, set for Wednesday in the North Gym of the Arena.

Hours a� er they rolled o� the printing press, bundles of free Terre Haute “Tri-bune-Star” newspapers sit unopened in their racks early Friday evening.

Josh Harmon, the newspaper’s circula-tion director said it’s part of a new pro-gram established by the newspaper, for free copies to be available to students each weekday. � e paper is distributed to nine locations on campus, including each resi-dence hall and the Lincoln Quads.

Copies are also sent to four other col-leges and universities in Terre Haute, in-cluding Rose-Hulman Institute of Tech-nology, St.-Mary-of-the-Woods College, Ivy Tech and Harrison College.

While carriers set out roughly 900 cop-

ies at ISU each morning, only about 350 are picked up each day, Harmon said.

Harmon said the number of papers distributed to campus may decrease, de-pending on how many copies are le� un-opened.

Currently, the Tribune-Star receives no direct revenue from university distribu-tion, but Harmon said the paper hopes to create a special advertising wrap catered to college students. If advertisers aren’t found, the paper would consider whether or not to continue distributing papers to the universities.

Tribune-Star Publisher B.J. Riley said he believes the newspaper has a lot to of-fer to students.

“We reached out to the university to establish this program as a way to get the paper into students’ hands,” Riley said.

Preparations have been heavy as ISU students and sta� gear up for the home-coming parade which kicks o� Oct. 5 at 9 a.m.

Greg Lansing, the coach of the ISU men’s basketball team, will be the grand marshal at this year’s homecoming pa-rade.

Selecting the grand marshal is only part of the planning, however.

Sophomore communication major Carl Mitchell is the parade chair and is responsible for organizing the parade. He is also the community spokesman. Homecoming Committee advisor Freda Luers helps Mitchell with all his duties. “We work on the parade year round and over the summers”, she said.

According to the Indiana State ar-

chives, the homecoming parade has been one of Indiana State’s longest lasting tra-ditions since 1923.

“It is always good to see alumni come back.” Luers said.

Not only does the parade provide an opportunity for alumni to visit, but it is also a chance to observe the many changes in the parade and around cam-pus, Luers said.

With 130 units currently entered into the parade, � oat entries have not yet been revealed. Homecoming Commit-tee member Nicole Kistner is in charge of making the judges feel at home at the parade.

“It is my job to walk the judges to the di� erent � oats and to bring them to the judges table a� er seeing the � oats,” Kist-ner said.

Along with the pressure of making a great � oat for everyone to see, there is

Posner coming to ISUStatesman editorial

It was recently announced that Mike Posner and

the Brain Trust will perform on Saturday, October 15, as a part of the Homecoming

festivities. Posner, who broke into the scene last year with his debut album, “31 Minutes to Takeoff,” became

a Top 40 success after releasing the singles “Cooler Than Me” and “Please Don’t Go.” Also, Posner has collaborated with hip hop star Lil’ Wayne and performed on shows such as “Ellen” and “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.” However, the most desirable quality about Posner is that he caters to the college community. A list of tour stops on his website, mikeposner.com, includes Ohio University, Grand Valley State University in Michigan, Xavier University

in Ohio, Williams College in Massachusetts and St. Joseph’s University in Pennsylvania. Prices for the

concert at ISU are $8 for students and $12 for the general public, which are considerably

lower than the ticket costs for OU ($25-35) and GVSU ($15-25). We are

pleased that Spotlight Entertainment has recruited an artist who’s familiar with the college environment and that the concert will be affordable for students. However, we hope that this event doesn’t detract from the real purpose behind H o m e c o m i n g week. Events like the parade, trike race and concert are meant to bring students together and encourage them to cheer on their football team. And while it’s cool that Posner is coming to town, the focus should remain on the players and the game. Regardless, we want students to enjoy the show.

Have you ever wondered what it takes for a band to be considered truly great?

Well, I have, and for that reason I decided to look up a list of the top 100 artists of all time as seen on VH1.

As I expected, The Beatles were at the top of the list. They are still selling records 50 years later, and you cannot

go into a music store without seeing something with their faces on it. I am completely okay with this as I wish that I could magically make them

all appear in front of my apartment and serenade me with “I Want to Hold Your Hand.”

Following directly behind them was Michael Jackson, which made me smile because he was one of the few people dubbed as musical royalty, and, if the chart is any indication, he really was the “King of Pop.”

It was surprising to me that Elvis was barely in the top 10 (sitting at num-ber 8) since he is given credit for the existence of rock ‘n’ roll, but I always thought “The King” was a little overrated anyway.

A few of the other shocks to me being that Nirvana, while still good, was ranked higher on the list than Queen. Both were higher up than Pink Floyd, who I always thought of as the primo band of their time.

The real shocker to me was that Justin Timberlake was on the list. This for-mer boy-bander-gone-solo was not someone who I ever envisioned having much musical impact. I was under the impression he would fizzle out and be forgotten like the rest. Well played, JT, well played.

Not only did he manage to find himself on the list, but he managed to sur-pass bands who I thought would be pretty high up there like Coldplay and Earth, Wind, and Fire. This is my evidence that Kidz Bop has more power than it should, and we need to put it to rest.

While this chart in no way affects my musical choices, it is still fun to look at how music has impacted us and how we as a general population view what is good music.

Even I must admit that there is an amount of accuracy to a chart that val-ues Beyoncé more than it does Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers. The best part for me though is to see who stands the test of time and has truly lived up to their anticipated shelf life.

Two weeks ago, I shared who I thought would prevail at the 63rd Prime-time Emmy Awards.

As I sat down to watch the red carpet and the awards, I began receiving texts and Facebook messages asking me what channel the awards were on. Once I told them FOX, I was shocked to learn that apparently no one on campus has access to that channel.

At first, I thought it had to be a problem with Time Warner Cable, but I quickly realized that wasn’t the case, seeing how I was watch-

ing FOX on a television that had Time Warner Cable. My only conclusion is it must have something to do with

the cable on campus. It broke my heart that my fellow classmates couldn’t en-

joy the telecast. The golden women have been given out, and it’s time to

evaluate what happened. There were surprises left and right, starting with the first award of the night.

Julie Bowen from “Modern Family” won Best Supporting Actress in A Com-edy Series, beating the frontrunners Jane Lynch and Betty White.

This was just the beginning of the “Modern Family” domination. The show went on to win in every category it was nominated in: Best Supporting Actor (Ty Burrell), Best Writing, Best Directing, and Best Comedy.

Another surprise occurred when Melissa McCarthy won Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for “Mike and Molly.” McCarthy leap frogged over Laura Linney and Amy Poehler to

claim the prize. Over in drama, Peter Dinklage’s win for Best Supporting Actor for “Game Of Thrones” was

a pleasant surprise. The biggest upset for me was when Steve Carell lost for the sixth straight time in Best Lead

Actor in a Comedy Series. This was also Carell’s last season on the popular sitcom, so he leaves the show never winning an Emmy.

The award went to Jim Parsons from “The Big Bang Theory” instead. I’m not saying that Parsons doesn’t deserve the award, but he won last year,

and it was Carell’s turn. It was widely thought the Academy would honor Carell for his exiting per-

formance. Much like they did over in Best Lead Actor in a drama Series. Kyle Chandler from “Friday Night Lights” came out of nowhere, taking

down Jon Hamm, Steve Buscemi, Timothy Olyphant, Michael C. Hall, and Hugh Laurie to win.

What worked for Chandler was “Friday Night Lights” had just finished its last season.

My theory is that the character of Michael Scott can, at times, be annoying and hard to watch. The character itself is very unappealing to voters.

If I were to make a prediction, I would say that Carell will come back for a couple episodes on “The Office” and win in the Best Guest Actor category.

This brings another Emmy race to a close. If I have learned anything, it’s that these awards are the hardest to predict, but that’s where

all the fun lies.

Upsets galore on Emmy night

Joe WagnerTuning in

Hollywood views the audience as being quite stupid. We need pretty actors to entertain us and simple plot lines so that our feeble minds won’t blow up.

I know this, I accept it and it’s ok. However, I do not condone giving up the entire plot in the trailer,

which is why the movie “Dream House” confuses me so much. This movie at a glance interests me quite a bit. It has Daniel Craig, the

new James Bond, and Rachel Weisz from the “The Mummy.” I gained a newfound respect for Daniel Craig when I went to see

“Cowboys & Aliens” this summer, and it wound up being quite a good movie.

If Daniel Craig can make me like a movie that ridiculous, then I think we’ll be ok.

So being the interested movie patron that I am, I looked up the trailer for “Dream House, and was immediately confused and a little angry.

The trailer starts off fairly creepy with the couple’s little girls getting scared and things going bump in the night. Then the husband goes to investigate the man behind the mur-ders that happened in their house, and it’s him.

Yeah, if this doesn’t scream spoiler I don’t know what does. And this earth-shattering little scene happens halfway through the trailer.

Either the filmmakers have never heard of “Shutter Island,” which has basically the same premise, or this isn’t actually the plot twist of the movie.

After that scene is revealed, he goes back home where his wife embraces him. He turns to her and tells her that she and the girls are dead.

So now it’s essentially “The Others,” and we still don’t have an original plotline. It’s really hard for me to determine whether or not I want to go see this in the theater. On the one hand, it has confused the heck out of me so far, and I want some resolution.

I want to know what will become of Daniel Craig and his handsome family. Is there a chance that this is all some kind of terrible hallucination created by the house and they will all come to and leave that terrible place?

On the other hand, if they’re already ghosts and he’s been in a mental institution then there isn’t really anywhere else for the story to go.

Is he going to commit suicide to be with them? Or will he just go back to the hospital? Their kindly neighbor, played by Naomi Watts, continues to talk to him throughout the film. Maybe he will forgive himself if he did indeed kill his family, and the neighbor will help him put his life back together.

Hopefully if any of you decide to see the film this weekend you won’t already know the entire plot line. Maybe it will present an engaging, surprising story that will captivate its audiences opening weekend.

Nevertheless, I’m sure it will prove to be entertaining, even if the people who put to-gether the trailer are a bit dimmer than most.

‘Dream House’ feels like déjà vu

MeganStenftenagelWhat’sPlaying

“I’m not saying that [Jim] Parsons doesn’t deserve the award, but he won last year, and it was [Steve] Carrell’s turn.”

According to the article “F as in Fat: How Obesity Threatens America’s Future 2011,” 33.8 percent of adults and 17 percent of children ages 2-19 are obese.

It might not sound like a lot, but that 17 percent of children come out to be 12.5 million

children. To my surprise,

Missis-sippi had the highest obesity rate in 2010.

A total of 34 percent of the state is obese.

However, Indiana isn’t too far behind. Indiana sits at 29.6 percent.

Looking around your classrooms, you may find that fact hard to believe.

The United States just keeps getting more and more obese, but why?

Today’s society lives off of fast food. 25 percent of Americans consume fast food each day.

Don’t get me wrong, I am the type of person who loves McDonalds, Burger King, Taco Bell and pretty much everything, but when I found out that Americans spend nearly $100 billion per year on fast food it made me disgusted.

We need to take action now to reduce obe-sity in America.

Things that could help reduce obesity in-clude eating more home-cooked meals, exer-cising two or three times a week and lowering our stress levels.

Adults, especially parents, play a big role in becoming healthy.

Children look up to adult figures and will follow in their footsteps.

I know it is hard to give up fast food. I

would love to be able to go through McDon-alds every day for a BigMac and fries, but it’s not possible. I would gain weight like crazy, and in turn lose my self- esteem.

Studies have shown that obese people have low self-esteem, and are often depressed.

At Indiana State, we need to make a change, and cut down on our fast food intake.

The difference in the amount of people I see in the Commons compared to the dining hall is significant.

I understand you have classes back to back, and the Commons seems like the best choice, but in the

end, it is worse. It is alright to

treat yourself to the Commons every once in a while. I know I do.

But every day is a little much.

Everyone jokes about when you go to

college how you will gain the “Freshmen 15.”

But what about the sophomores, juniors, and seniors?

They are the ones in the commons the most because they are allowed to use their credits whenever they what, whereas the freshman are not.

So for everyone out there wanting a change; go ahead and be different.

Obesity is a growing problem

AngelinaRitterMeals on Heels

I discovered over the summer that a man I worship and love, Anthony Bour-dain, despises the fast food industry.

Bourdain, best-selling author and host of the Travel Channel’s “No Reser-

vations,” laid out his hatred of all things quick and fatten-ing in the chapter “Lower Education,” found in his book “Medium Raw.”

His exact words were: “Personally, I don’t care if my lit-tle girl ever recognizes [Mickey Mouse or Jesus]—but I do care about her re-lationship with Ronald [McDonald]. I want her to see American fast-food culture as I do. As the enemy.”

And while I adore this man, his style and nearly anything he puts into print, I absolutely had to disagree with him. Fast food culture isn’t the enemy; we are.

PETA (People for the Ethical Treat-ment of Animals) also stands on Bour-dain’s side of the cutting board, but for entirely different reasons. They’ve launched a site for children, petakids.com, that has begun a crusade against the golden arches, as well as KFC.

PETA’s argument?—Ronald and the Colonel are too mean to the chickens.

“Did you know that millions of chickens are killed by McDonald’s sup-pliers each year?” states the website.

PETA also provides the children with a “cute” chicklet drawing with the hopes that the kids will fill the thought bubble on the page with pleas for bet-ter poultry treatment. Some examples they give include “I Am Not a Nugget” and “Help me!”

Here’s the bone I’ve got to pick with Bourdain and PETA: this war they’re waging against the fast food industry,

regardless of their reasoning, is un-necessary. I commend Bourdain and his efforts to make his daughter eat healthier. I understand, to a degree, where PETA is coming from. This na-tion devours fast food in excess and could improve slaughter methods.

First, though, it isn’t entirely Mc-Donald’s fault that the obesity issue is affecting more youth. Children aren’t climbing behind the wheel of a car and high-tailing it over to the restau-rant; their parents are driving them. Their parents are purchasing the food, grabbing those red trays and setting them on the table. If adults are so con-cerned about their pudgy offspring, they should try ordering items off of McDonald’s “healthier options” menu. Yes, Mickey D’s has that. Shocker.

Second, filling children’s heads with visions of bloodied, screaming chick-ens is a tad morbid, isn’t it? While it’s unfortunate that those chickens didn’t get to say goodbye to their families before they were slaughtered, they’re just chickens. Like cows and pigs, they were created to be eaten one way or the other.

The fast food industry is on the same level as the tobacco industry. It’s been proven scientifically that smok-ing or chewing is harmful and addic-tive. Yet, people continue to purchase cigarettes and other nicotine products by the bushel, knowing fully that it can cause cancer.

But who gets the blame? Who gets berated by protesters, families and politicians? Tobacco companies do.

The fast food industry is under fire because somewhere along the way, the country collectively made some bad choices. We wanted our food to be quick and cheap.

Now, we’re seeing the consequences of those choices, and we desperately want to blame restaurants like Mc-Donald’s.

Talk about biting the hand that feeds us.

More than 30 African-American students were awarded Saturday for their academic achievements.

� e African-American Culture Center sponsored the � e Aca-demic Achievement Awards Cer-emony & Luncheon to recognize individuals and groups of African-American students who have ac-complished high levels of achieve-ment during the past year with at least a 3.3 GPA on a 4.0 grading scale.

� e awards ceremony is de-signed to motivate underclassmen toward higher levels of personal at-tainment. � e event also supports interest given to African-Ameri-can students by African-American faculty, sta� and community mem-bers in the development of skills and talents. In addition, it encour-

ages both individual and group participation in African-American awareness by promoting active in-volvement in programs, activities and organizations relevant to the African-American heritage.

“� is is our second annual awards ceremony,” said Stephanie Je� erson, director of the Cultural Center. “We are de� nitely going to continue this every year recogniz-ing our students in their academic achievements.”

“It is good that they are acknowl-edging us,” said sophomore Com-munications major Day’Jonnae Riggins, who obtained a 3.4 GPA “It gives us that extra push.”

Riggins is an honor student from Gary, and a graduate of Lew Wal-lace High School. She was accept-ed to a variety of schools but chose Indiana State University where she received the most scholarships for her academic excellence, she said.

� e brown house on Indiana State’s campus is not as random as new students may think–the house happens to be the residence of Indiana State University’s President Daniel J. Bradley and his wife, � rst lady Cheri Bradley.

� e Condit House was deemed a Historical American Building by the Library of Congress and the Smithsonian Institute, according to the University Archives’ website.

President Bradley’s house is formally known as the Condit House. University Archives says the Condit House is “the oldest structure on campus, a well preserved Italianate structure, Condit House, was built in 1860.”

� e Condit house has endured many years in harsh Midwestern weather without having to undergo extreme renovations that would alter the building’s historical structure. Architect Jabez Hedden and contractor Lucien Houriet were the minds behind the structure of the 151-year-old house.

� e Condit House was not always home to Indiana State Univer-sity’s president. Until the early 1990s, the Condit House was residence to Reverend Blackford Condit and his wife, Sara Louise Mills Condit.

Standardization is the key to improving the American banking system, ISU alum-nus Jon D. Greenlee said in a speech Thurs-day.

The Scott College of Business hosted their Leader in Action presentation in the Hulman Memorial Student Union. The event was titled, “After the Crisis: The Transformation of Financial Services”.

Greenlee, a 1985 finance alumnus, was the speaker for the night. He is manag-ing director of KPMG’s Financial Services and has more than 24 years of senior bank regulatory experience, according to ISU’s RSVP flyers for the event. Greenlee spoke in regard to the American banking system and changes they are expected to undergo in the future.

Greenlee traveled to ISU from Wash-ington, D.C. with his wife and mother. He began the presentation by commenting on being back on ISU’s campus and the impact ISU made on him in the past.

“There are a lot of positive changes being

taken at ISU,” Greenlee said. “ISU played a pretty big role in my career.”

Greenlee discussed the state of the econ-omy and the role the banks play.

“There is a transformation of financial services,” Greenlee said. “It is not just a US agenda, it is a global agenda.”

In reference to the American banking system, Greenlee touched on the changes necessary in order to work towards im-proving the system.

New regulatory expectations, increased capital and funding, proper management and less discretion were a few examples provided.

New ATM charges and increasing loan rates may be seen in the future as banks ad-just to new system changes.

These changes could affect many ISU students planning on applying for credit cards or taking out car or house loans in the next few years.

“There is a lot of pressure on the govern-ment,” Greenlee said. “It is a big challenge.”

On the Sept. 17 game against the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers, sophomore running back Shakir Bell ran for 221 yards and two touchdowns, which propelled him to fifth place on the all-time list for number of yards rushed in a game in Sycamore history. Bell finished Saturday’s game against the Penguins with 256 yards and four touchdowns with a 12.2-yard average. His efforts propelled him to the number one position on the all-time rushing list for the Sycamores with 225 of the 256 amassed in the first half of play.

“Shakir was outstanding,” Trent Miles, ISU football head coach said. “He is an outstanding individual and player, but those guys up there blocking and those receivers blocking down field for him did a great job also. They were able to come out and set a tone offensively and then defensively. I thought we came out and set a great tone.”

Senior quarterback Ronnie Fouch threw 17 passes completing 11 of them for 189 yards and 1 touchdown pass to sophomore wide receiver Leonard Riston.

On the Sycamores’ first possession of the game, they were on the scoreboard in just one play as Bell ran for 69 yards. The next time the Sycamores

had the ball, Bell would have another rushing touchdown and two carries. Bell had 100 yards and two touchdowns in the first quarter, giving the Sycamores the lead with 11 minutes to go in the quarter. The defense was dominant in the first quarter forcing Youngstown State to punt on their first three possessions.

“Our defensive tone early help set the stage for the offense to be able to do what they did, so we kind of fed off each other there and jumped out,” Miles said.

The Sycamores scored again following an 11-yard touchdown pass from Fouch to Riston with 4 minutes remaining in the quarter. The Penguins would retaliate with seconds to go in the quarter, and the quarter would end with the Sycamores up by 14 (21-7).

Bell continued his dominance going into the second quarter with a 61-yard touchdown run with just 15 seconds off the clock and a 51-yard run with four minutes remaining in the quarter. The Penguins continued to remain close, and the Sycamores would go in to half time with a 34 to 21 lead.

The third quarter was controlled by each teams’ defenses as they held the opposing team from scoring.

With 13 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the Penguins found the end zone on a one-yard touchdown. The Sycamores extended their lead with a 22-yard field goal from sophomore place kicker Cory Little, but, with just 1:21 to go in the game, Youngstown State quarterback Kurt Hess found a receiver in the end zone to make it a two point game, 35 to 37.

Youngstown State had one last chance with an onside kick. However the kick would not travel 10 yards, and by rule, the Sycamores would get the ball with one minute remaining, allowing them to just run out the clock.

The Sycamores’ win over Youngstown State gives them their first win over a ranked opponent since 2004. It also gives the Sycamores their first three- game win streak since 1996.

The Sycamores move 3-1 for the season. They travel to South Dakota State this weekend to face off with the Jackrabbits. That game is a scheduled for a 2:05 p.m. kickoff.

ISU vs. Bradley University

Indiana State University women’s volleyball team defeated Bradley University 3-2 (29-27, 21-25, 22-25, 25-21, 15-13) Friday night.

In set one, ISU took the lead after breaking a tie score at 3 with a rally that ended with a kill from sophomore outside hitter Monique Mor-ris assisted by sophomore setter Loni Mack-inson. ISU was winning set one 19-12 before Bradley started to catch up. The Braves came back to tie the score at 23-23, then had a ser-vice error that put ISU back in the lead at 24-23. The score tied four more times before ju-nior outside hitter and right side Morgan Dall broke the last tie at 27 with a kill assisted by Mackinson, putting the Sycamores in the lead 28-27. An attack error by Bradley ended the set 29-27, ISU.

“We didn’t always have control of the first game, and our thing is we want to make sure we maintain control,” Traci Dahl, ISU women’s volleyball head coach said. “We pulled off that first game, but the thing about it is we were up by a good lead, and we let them crawl back, and we can’t let that happen.”

Set two and three did not end in favor of the Sycamores. Bradley got a far lead in the second set, but ISU kept fighting. ISU was down 12-22 but had two back-to-back rallies that brought their score up to 21-23. The rallies included four kills from Dall and one kill from freshman middle blocker Samantha Kersting. ISU came close but not close enough; Bradley finished the set out with two kills ending the score at 21-25, Bradley.

The Sycamores jumped to a 6-1 lead in the third set, including a service ace by Kersting. ISU remained in the lead until the score was tied at 20 where Bradley took over. ISU’s final two points came from a Bradley service error and senior middle blocker Stacy Qualizza’s kill assisted by Morris. The set ended 22-25, Brad-ley.

Even though Bradley scored the first point, ISU gained back control on the fourth set and never lost the lead. It was a close game and tied three times.

“Fourth game, I think we were all just angry, we knew we could win,” Morris said. “I think we went into the fourth set with the mindset we’re not going let any balls drop, we’re going to put these balls away, we’re going to definitely block them. So we went into it with confi-dence, and that definitely played to our advan-

tage,” said Morris. Morris shut down the Braves with two kills

in a row, assisted by Mackinson, ending set four’s score at 25-21, ISU. ISU and Bradley went into set five tied 2-2; it was anyone’s game.

ISU was down 4-9 in the fifth set. The Syca-mores stepped up and had a five-point rally getting them within one. Bradley lost the lead after five consecutive errors putting the score at 14-13, ISU. The Sycamores finished off the Braves with a kill from Dall assisted by Mack-inson, ending set five at 15-13, ISU.

“In the fifth set being down like that, that showed true heart, and I felt that we had some key players that were new to the lineup that stepped up,” Dahl said.

ISU had 69 kills on the night. Morris broke her career high once again with 22 kills. Ker-sting had a career high as well with 10 kills. Mackinson led in assists with 58, and senior defensive specialist Kiya James led with 27 digs.

ISU vs. UNI

Indiana State women’s volleyball fell short of a victory against 14th ranked University of Northern Iowa last Saturday, final set scores being 11-25, 11-25, and 17-25.

“Regardless of the scoreboard, I feel that some of my key players made some really good moves tonight,” Dahl said. “I feel good about some of the plays where we had our hitters one up, and we annihilated the ball on those particular plays, and that’s going to help us in the future with the teams we are playing.”

ISU was first on the board in set one, but did not score again. Dall had a kill assisted by Mackinson. The Panthers rallied for a lead of 2-13. With

two kills, a service ace by Mackinson, and six Panther errors brought the Sycamores score to 11 but was not enough to catch up to UNI. Set one ended 11-25, UNI.

ISU had a slow start in the second set. The Panthers led the Sycamores 5-0 but were stopped with a kill by sophomore outside hitter Ashley Owen assisted by Mackinson. Mackinson assisted Morris for a kill, senior middle blocker Stacy Qualizza for two kills and Dall for two kills. Although the Sycamores put up a tough fight, UNI took the win of set two at 11-25.

ISU kicked off set three with a kill by Dall, assisted by Mackinson, but did not score again until Owen had a kill bringing the score to 2-7. Morris had 5 more kills,

Kersting had a kill, and Dall had two more kills on the night. UNI won set three with a score 17-25, winning the whole game.

“We are going to get better in practice everyday and just try to better ourselves individually, and then we will come in as a team,” said senior defensive specialist Kiya James.

Morris lead the Sycamores with eight kills, Mackinson lead with 20 assists and tied with James with nine digs. The Sycamores return to the ISU Arena Oct. 7 to take on Southern Illinois University.
