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 first 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 offer student staff members chances to apply their skills in different aspects of a news publication, and to give students leadership opportunities.

“The bottom has a wavy pattern representative of the Wabash River and the top has a starscape,” he said. “One side has clovers to represent the lucky Irish and another has a sycamore tree. The third side has the state flower, a peony, and the fourth has the state emblem and the ISU emblem melded together. This side faces Holmstedt Hall and is a symbolic piece.”

Mary Kramer, executive director of Art Spaces Inc. said it is Zebold’s first piece in the Midwest.

“It looks like it was born to be here,”Kramer said. “Sometimes, an art piece takes time for people to feel like it belongs. Putting this [piece] up, this was an immediate ‘oh my gosh; this was meant to be here.’ I love the color and the natural element.”

Vice president of academic affairs and Provost Jack Maynard said the piece would be inspiring to students, faculty and others.

ISU students were equally impressed with the sculpture.

“I’m an art major and am knowledgeable in steel work,” Broderick Wiscaver, a senior art education major said. “It’s hard to believe that he would be able to get something so big to be a perfect sphere. I’ve worked with about an inch and a half piece of steel and had to make it into a sphere and it was not spherical at all. It’s impressive.”

“It’s imposing and organic, Jack Ciancone, senior linguistics major, said. “I like it.”

“It is Zebold’s first piece in the Midwest and it looks like it was born to be here.”

Students supply insights to Kellogg Austin Arceo ISU Communications and Marketing

When Richard Summitt II returned to Indiana State University to resume his education, he figured that he already knew what to expect from his 300-level statistics class.

He didn’t suspect that his academic endeavors would take him off-campus, east on U.S. 40 outside Terre Haute and to a bakery in Seelyville.

Several summer courses in the Scott College of Business partnered with Kellogg Company’s bakery in Seelyville. The partnership allowed students to implement the curriculum taught in an operations management course and a statistics class, while Kellogg was able to benefit from projects that directly affected the bakery’s daily operations. The operations management class implemented a “5 S” event, in which they utilized a visual management

system to organize part of the bakery. The statistics management students separated into teams and analyzed data affecting the facility’s control parameters.

“I see how the statistical analysis for businesses works a little bit better,” Summitt said about the experience. “It’s one of the classes where you can directly use it in the future.”

The operations management students learned about the 5 S process, which stands for sort, straighten, shine, standardize and sustain, said Ken Jones, senior lecturer of operations management who taught the courses that worked with the Kellogg facility.

Students learned the processes, then went to the Kellogg bakery and spoke with workers to learn

more about the site’s needs before implementing the 5 S process to one of the production areas.

“One of the toughest hurdles for the younger generation to overcome in this economic global climate is proving they can ‘do it’ on a par or better than experienced workers,” Jones said. “Many employers are somewhat skeptical on how their skills bridge to company needs. I’m trying to find ways to do that in the classroom.”

The operations management experience went better than expected, said Smith.

The 5 S events typically take several days to complete, which was made more difficult given the students’ limited time to complete a summer session course, he said.

“I think they really took the time to understand the process, understand what some operator concerns and what some possible improvements were, and they made some great suggestions as well as implemented some of their ideas,” added Smith, who graduated from ISU in 2002 with a degree in business management.

The operations management students traveled to the Seelyville bakery once a week for the five-week course. They worked several hours each time before they created a list of potential tasks they wanted to do, and in speaking with Smith, finalized the projects that they completed.

“We focused in on three or four improvements that would probably give Kellogg the biggest ‘bang for its buck,’ taking into consideration the limited time that we had to implement those measures,” Chew said. “We carried them out as planned, and everybody seemed happy. I think it was a valuable experience for both sides.”

The groups also presented their findings to several employees of the Seelyville bakery. Students in the analysis course also spoke the conclusions that they reached, which ultimately indicated that more information was needed to draw conclusions about changing some site operations.

“We gave them a lot of data to work with and we let them run with it on their own. We didn’t limit them with anything,” Smith said. “We just let them get their creative juices going, and they looked at our processes a little differently than how I ever looked at them.”

Both groups benefited from the work. While students experienced applying their lessons directly to a business scenario, the Kellogg bakery also received direct benefit from the 5 S improvements, along with receiving the statistical information, Smith said.

“It was not only that,” he added. “It was personally rewarding for everyone at the plant who got to work with them.”

Students show difficulties with college level writing

ElizabEth DawEs ReporterWith difficulties in writing at ISU a growing concern ISU

faculty attempts to trace the cause and think of what can be done to solve this.

The average SAT writing scores for ISU is 444. For 2011-2012 48.58 percent of first-time, first year freshmen scored between 400-499 on SAT writing out of a scale of 800. On a national level, the average SAT writing score for 2011 was 489.

Some ISU faculty view that admittance of students who are not adequately prepared may be a reason for the difficulties experienced with college writing.

“ISU cares only about numbers,” Patrick Barcus, English instructor, said. “Quality is not as important as quantity when it comes to enrollment here, which is why we have such a problem with retention. Many of our students come from school systems that are failing at the pedagogical level, and thus they produce unprepared students. ISU does not seem to care ... As far as ISU is concerned, if you have a pulse and a way to pay for tuition, you’re in.”

Joshua Powers, interim associate vice president of student success, said ISU is a college for students who have struggled in high school, from low-income families and first generation college students. Therefore, these students aren’t as prepared as the university would like and it is not a question of sub-standard

intelligence. “My guess is that most students aren’t receiving the necessary

instruction in middle and high school,” J.D. Wireman, English instructor said. “They struggle because they simply aren’t prepared to do college-level work, and many of them exhibit problems in their writing that probably should’ve been resolved years earlier.”

According to a study from the National Center for Education Statistics, twenty-seven percent of twelfth-graders perform at or above proficient level. Fifty-two percent perform at the basic level and twenty-one percent below basic level. The study added that kids from inner city schools score lower than kids from suburban, rural, and small town schools in writing.

One common problem in writing is the impact of text and social media shorthand, the language used by many students to fit all they need to say in 160 characters or less.

“There’s no question texting is the new language of the 21st century, and it clearly impacts student writing, though not entirely in a bad way,” Wireman said.

However, not all professors agree with Wireman. Barcus said that he addresses problems with students using text language in their writing swiftly.

“Usually only at the beginning of the semester in freshman

courses, which I address immediately,” Barcus said. “I once had a student end all of her sentences in a paper with the smiley-face emoticon. Ironically, I did not find it funny.”

Nonetheless, students who struggle with writing are not without help as ISU provides different outreach programs with the tools to help students. The most popular resource being the Writing Center located on the first floor of the Cunningham Memorial Library.

“The Writing Center is the primary resource at ISU, and is probably underutilized by students,” Wireman said. “Tutoring is available, and some instructors in the English department are willing to provide feedback on student writing, even for students not enrolled in their courses.”

Indiana State University senior Sara Pfister knew about the great learning opportunity in teaching at an ISU summer science camp long before she ever took advantage of it as a college stu-dent.

She attended the camp when she was six years old and she even talked about the experience with her dad, who once was an ISU student teaching at the camp.

Pfister was among the elementary education majors who taught children attending the annual summer science camp at Indiana State. In the camp, which is open to students entering kindergarten through seventh grade, the aspiring educators teach the young pupils a variety of science topics and also lead the students on several field trips. The camp is part of a course the elementary education majors take to provide teaching expe-rience.

“Science is so important ... and it’s something that is so often overlooked in our schools because we have so many students we have to teach and there are so many standardized tests we have to teach,” Pfister said. “This gives children an opportunity and students like me an opportunity to explore things that we don’t get to do in a normal school year.”

In the two-week long camp, the ISU students develop the les-son plans before teaching them to the students. The classes fea-ture “inquiry-based lessons” and hands-on activities to help the children learn the curriculum, said Eulsun Seung, assistant pro-fessor for science education and chemistry at ISU and director of the camp.

“The context of the camp is a little different from a regular classroom, because the children in the camp are very knowledge-able and interested in science, which encourages ISU students to have motivation and confidence in teaching science,” Seung said.

For ISU senior Katelynn Moats, the chance to teach kids in the kindergarten to second grade age group gave her some insights as she prepared to start student teaching.

“I heard from other students who had previously taken the course, and they highly recommended it and said how much they enjoyed working with the students in a camp atmosphere,” said Moats, who is from Terre Haute.

The ISU students taught the camp during the day, and after the sessions, they met to discuss their experiences.

“We’re with the kids for 10 days for the total camp, and hav-ing that time is essential,” Moats said. “I’m really learning how to

teach science, and how to make it fun, and to meet every individu-al’s needs in the classroom.”

The camp attendees were di-vided into three different age groups: kindergarten through second grade, third and fourth grade, and fifth through seventh grade.

Each class had age-specific projects and activities; on the camp’s final day, for instance, the oldest class presented their group science projects, while another group launched rockets outside to watch how each one soared into the air before a parachute opened to help it glide safely (usually) to the ground.

“Being able to learn the theory of teaching science and actually teaching science are two com-pletely different ballgames,” said Pfister, who is from Terre Haute. “Being able to know how impor-tant ... it is to be inquiry-based and having students creating in-formation as students rather than being given information by a teacher, they will remember that, and they will be using that as their education progresses.”

The summer science camp first started in the 1970s, and has since “become part of the community,” Seung said. While the camp costs $100 per student, the cost does not cover the full amount of the camp, which is also partially funded by the ISU Center for Community Engagement.

Some of the young camp attendees enjoyed the experience. For Jack McClelland, the camp provided an opportunity to learn about science while spending time with some of his friends from school who were also in the camp.

“We did a lot of stuff,” Jack McClelland said. “I really liked the

field trips that we had.”During the two-week experience, the campers took four field

trips, included stops to the Indianapolis Children’s Museum and the Exotic Feline Rescue Center. While Jack McClelland enjoyed a field trip to a cavern as his favorite, his brother Dane McClel-land enjoyed the trek to the Indianapolis museum the most.

“I came here last year, and I thought it was so much fun that I would like to do it again,” Dane McClelland said. “The people were fun, and we did a lot of cool stuff.”

The opportunities Indiana State affords its students are vast beyond our perception. Some of the best and brightest students and professors in this country walk our sidewalks every day. Some of the best and brightest professionals hang Indiana State University diplomas on their walls. This university is great in so many respects. But it is view of the editorial staff here at the Statesman that is may be changing, that ISU has already begun stooping towards the level of a community college, a level that we should be clearly and definitively above.

ISU is sincerely attempting to extend a quality education to as many students as possible, and this is commendable.

Interim Associate Vice President for Student Success Joshua Powers said that four things make ISU unique in terms of its student population.

“We have a large number of low-income students, a large number of minority students, some of our students by traditional measures had some struggle in high school, and we have many first generation college students, and those are unique,” Powers said.

A downtrodden economy has led to an increasingly competitive job market, thus increasing the necessity to receive a four-year degree. Powers understands this.

“The implications of not getting a degree have never been stronger,” Powers said.

While this is certainly true, when did it become the responsibility of Indiana State to provide those who had some struggle in high school with a degree?

ISU is commonly known as a place where students can get a quality four-year university education at an affordable price, hence the appeal to low-income individuals with a less than ideal high school history.

However, not everyone is ready for college and it is not our job as a four-year campus

to get them ready. This should be left to the community colleges. ISU seems to ignore this understanding, favoring money and enrollment numbers over the quality of its student base. We may learn down the road that admittance of too many inadequately prepared students will only be a burden to us in the long run.

We are not the Harvard of Indiana; we never have been. But that doesn’t mean we should set up shop at the opposite end of the spectrum. Unless of course, that’s the niche we wish to fill.

So what niche do we wish to fill? If we wish to be the school for struggling high school students, then let’s be that. But we cannot forget about the 800+ honors students enrolled here this year. We are a very diverse institution, but colleges aren’t usually like this, and there’s a reason for

that. And that reason is simply because you can’t satisfy everyone. We can’t spread our focus over so large a spectrum without running the risk of spreading our resources too thinly, or disheartening students who see the value of their degrees dropping due to foot-dragging students and the resources we pour into keeping these student’s heads above water.

The primary goal of Indiana State University shouldn’t be 14,000 students by 2017, or 70 percent retention by that same year, it should be to define ourselves. We need to choose who we want to be and embrace that identity. Once we do that, we need to market that image candidly to the next 2,000 students we plan on enrolling over the next five years. Whether we want to be the institution of opportunity, the school for struggling high schoolers or the Harvard of Indiana, every student who walks through our doors should be aware of Indiana State University’s role in higher education.

Statesman editorial

Embracing our role in higher education

“The primary goal of Indiana State University shouldn’t be

14,000 students by 2017, or 70 percent retention by that same

year, it should be to define ourselves.”

An editorial ran in the Statesman on Monday, Sept. 10 titled “I screwed up, but that’s okay” compared the dismissal policies of three universities (Purdue, USI and Ball State) with that of Indiana State University’s. We stated, “Students at Ball State must acquire no less than a 2.0, or else risk dismissal.”

While this is true, we neglected to understand that this comparison wasn’t apt in the context of our argument. This is strictly because Ball State and the other universities mentioned will place students who fail to meet this minimum GPA requirement on academic probation for the next semester, requiring them to meet a certain GPA threshold each subsequent semester in order to maintain enrollment. This is altogether different than ISU’s dismissal policy, as first-semester students at ISU will be immediately dismissed without a probationary semester if their GPA is not at or above .85.

Nevertheless, we hold lower minimum dismissal GPA standards than any other major university in the state.

I am unashamed to say that I haven’t been following the 2012 presidential election closely. I haven’t showed interest in any political election, for that matter. Ever. The only president I really liked was Bill Clinton—this was in the mid-1990s, when I was eight and based my opinion on his Arkansas accent, which I thought sounded grandfather-y.

But as I’ve grown, Facebook and other forms of media have turned me away from learning anything more about our government and what makes it tick.

Forgive me if I don’t want to sound like every other 20-something on the web, posting novel-length status after status about my “dislike” of Governor Mitt Romney’s take on the 47 percent. If I wanted to restate what the Huffington Post, Fox News or some meme on Pinterest tell me to think, I would’ve joined the rest of the “copy and paste” generation years ago.

Then it dawned on me yesterday: This presidential election reminds me of the “Twilight” saga. Sadly, for the first time, I began to deeply ponder America’s troubling relationship with Romney and

President Barack Obama. What better way to explore a topic you hate, like politics, than to compare it to a book series you hate tenfold? Stay with me here.

The American people collectively behave like Bella Swan—an expressionless teenage girl, waiting to be shaped, wooed and moved to action by a man. After a negative experience with former President George Bush, she expects Barack “Edward Cullen” Obama to swoop in and save us. She needs a man—er, president—to take charge, to make America into the woman—ahem, nation—she was meant to be. But early into his presidency, she discovers that, surprise; Obama is just another young and lusty vampire politician, sucking her dry of trust.

Enter Mitt “Jacob Black” Romney, a silver-haired, wolf-man, who shape shifts to ward off those sinister vampire politicians America’s fallen so in love with. America wants to be protected at this point, she want to feel safe with the prospective beast-in-chief, but she ultimately return to “Obama Cullen.” Why? Because she’s grown accustomed to his mysterious vampire vibe, and wolves act insane, victimize her and have shady tax histories.

The press serves as the crazed tween fan base, blogging their own sappy fantasies of their ideal presidential

candidates and paying special attention to outward appearances, of course. Both sides continue to fuel each other, leading onlookers to wonder which is worse—the characters or the followers?

Everyone, including those disillusioned fans, thinks they know what “true presidency” means. Even if an attraction to a candidate seems wrong and ill informed, it doesn’t matter; the relationship’s misunderstood and the naysayers are only trying to break it up.

But much like Bella, America is still a naïve girl who doesn’t know what she wants. Until she grows up, realizes she’s more than the “man” she’s with and becomes comfortable in her own skin, her tacky romantic saga in politics continues.


“The American people collectively behave like Bella

Swan–an expressionless teenage girl, waiting to be

wooed and moved into action by a man.”

According to the Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia, the definition of a gentleman is a man whose conduct conforms to a high standard of propriety or correct behavior. But the days when men would hold doors open, pay the bill at a restaurant with no trouble and offer their coat are just blissful memories of the past.

Kiara Johnson, an ISU junior and President of S.I.S.T.E.R.S Too recognizes that traditional gentleman actions are not prominent in today’s society.

“Most women are so not used to guys holding doors or pulling out chairs, that when they do, we really don’t know how to react, I would probably get mad or something, I haven’t met one like that,” Johnson said.

Although Johnson said most women have no idea what to expect from men, especially when it comes to going out on a decent date, Indiana State junior Antonio Robertson gives a male perspective that differs.

“I still hold the door open for women and cover the bill on dates, I do all of that, but some women just do not appreciate it. I don’t like it when they treat it as something I’m supposed to do for them, I don’t understand it,” Robertson said.

Robertson thinks there is a direct correlation between the media’s portrayal of a man and how men treat women in real life. For example, with reality TV shows such as “Love and Hip Hop of Atlanta” displaying men like Stevie J treating women with lack of respect and getting away with it, it makes the lack of chivalry look ‘cool.’

“The media has a big influence. Famous people have a big influence on the way we treat women, when we look up to them and see them doing something, even if it’s disrespectful to women, it’s easy for some men to be influenced by that,” Robertson said.

Johnson believes a well-mannered gentleman is someone for keeps, while a callous, cocky partner is more often just someone good enough for now — that is, until a better man comes along.

“The problem is most men now don’t even look for long term relationships anymore, they just look for one night stands and sex buddies, so being a gentleman just goes right out the window from the beginning,” Johnson said.

Johnson received good insight from her grandmother on the idea of how being a gentleman was founded in a time when women were considered the weaker sex incapable of progress without the aid and support of a man. She said some of the outdated social norms included the belief or practice that it is a man’s responsibility to provide for his family and that a woman should stay home to take care of the children.

“In my house it was totally different compared to back in the days when my mother or grandmother grew up,” Johnson said. “It was just me, my mom and my sister. We did everything, like took out the trash and carried our groceries into the house. Some things that men are supposed to do for me now, I have a hard time letting them because of the way I was brought up in my house. I’m just independent.”

Roberston believes that today, men have somewhat given up their roles as providers, but are not developing their roles as good companions for women. Women can juggle having a career, paying bills and caring for the children, but that does not mean that men aren’t still needed to make them feel beautiful and well, like women.

“In my house, I was raised by my mother, she taught me to treat women with respect. I treat women like queens, because I would want a man to treat my mother like a queen, anything less is unacceptable,”

Robertson said.Today’s society is no different from that of long ago in the sense that

should someone break certain social norms, no matter how outdated they are, society will scoff and jeer at him or her. But Robertson feels like it is ok for men to take on some of the roles that were once for women. Women want men who care to help them out and treat them with respect.

A survey done on ISU’s campus shows the prominence of gender roles in relationship and the demand from young women in heterosexual relationships to have the same type of male interaction as ‘back in the day.’ Approximately 50 students were polled, revealing the top ten actions that makes a man a gentleman. The results included opening doors for women, minding their manners, courtesy carrying, respecting boundaries that a woman has set, helping with duties, taking pride in their appearance, and giving women plenty of compliments.

These actions all fall under the traditional hegemonic male qualities that decades of gender stereotyping has created.

Johnson believes that being courted by a true gentleman shouldn’t be too much to ask for, but is fairly difficult to find.

“I want to be treated how the woman was treated in the movie ‘The Notebook,’ but, honestly, I think that will never happen,” Johnson said. “If you set your standards too high, men will think you’re asking for too much and just move right on to the next one.”

The iPhone 5 hits store shelves, sets new standard for Smartphones

The present hotcake in the Technology market is the iPhone 5 from Apple. The new product offers high competition to the existing smartphones from Samsung, Motorola and HTC.

There are two important factors that contribute to the iPhone 5’s unique and superior development: it’s design and components.

The iPhone 5’s design includes features that make it more advanced and coherent to the user. The screen is both longer and larger, and the design is feather-light and slim.

The screen is 2.3 inches wide with a little longer screen than the previous product; it has grown by half an inch and is made up of 176 tiny pixels. These larger screens are more compatible for websites, books, photos, movies and maps. It is thinner than before with a thickness of 0.3 inches and it weighs only four ounces. The phone also has ‘Gorilla Glass,’ which is scratch resistant, on the front, but the back glass has been replaced with metal to make it more durable. These features are enhanced with upgrades in sound, speed and camera, as well.

The color reproduction of the screen has been made better than the previous iPhone. The front-facing camera of it captures high-definition videos, and the 8 MP camera at the rear face includes a new panoramic mode, allowing users to take wider photos.

The new phone is now available in black and white.The battery life is also extended, and has eight hours of talk time and eight hours

of browsing. Further, the components of the iPhone 5 include new technologies that speed up the

phone, including a superior A6 processor. The major difference between the iPhone 4S and 5 is the integration of the 4G LTE, which produces speeds 10 times as fast as its 3G predecessor.

With its upgraded and new processor, the iPhone 5 includes a new GPS/maps app and new talents for Siri. Siri now answers questions about current movies, sports and restaurants and has one-tap canned responses to incoming calls, such as “I’m driving — call you later.”

Though, Android and Windows phones offer more brilliant features like huge screen and many other features, Apple has its own bunch of apps which other Smartphones doesn’t offer, which makes it a unique Smartphone in the current tech world, offering very high competition with its ever improving technology and software.

The compatibility of the iPhone 5 is the only downfall of the product. Although

there are plenty of accessories that fit it, there is a new design to the connecter that limits the compatibility with existing docks and chargers. Apple is selling the new adapter, called the Lightning Connector, for $30. The new phone jack is much smaller with a width of 0.31 inch instead of 0.83. In addition to it, there is no right side up.

The iPhone 5 hit the market on Friday and had people lining up outside of mobile stores nationwide. Junior pre-law major Zach Watkins waited in line at the Verizon store in Terre Haute to receive the new iPhone 5.

“I decided to drive to the Verizon store to see what the line looked like,” Watkins said. “It was surprisingly short. I ended up being 20th in line at 7:15 a.m. Once the store opened at 8 a.m., I walked right in, told them which iPhone I wanted, and I walked out with it in less than fifteen minutes.”

Although, he did say that the supply of the new phones was short of the demand. As a previous HTC Rezound user, Watkins knows the advantages of the iPhone

products.“I wanted the iPhone 5 because I think it is the phone I am going to stick with for

a long time,” he said. “I like this compared to my past Android phone because it is a smoother interface and everything is much more user-friendly. I just think the iPhone is a more fluid experience.”

Saturday, the Sycamores had their first taste of competition from the Missouri Valley Conference when they faced the Jackrabbits of South Dakota State. The Sycamores battled throughout the game, but they ended with a loss. Some individual Sycamores had stand out performances, but when the final buzzer blew, it just was not enough. The Sycamore’s record now stands at 2-2 and they are 0–1 in the MVC.

The Jackrabbits of South Dakota State house the nation’s leading rusher Zach Zenner, who rushed for a total of 237 yards. Zenner’s longest rush was an 87 yard run in the fourth quarter,

which led to another SDSU touchdown to put the game out of reach for the Sycamores.

The Jackrabbits ended with a total of 348 yards of offense. The stout defense of the Jackrabbits held junior tailback Shakir Bell, who was the second ranked back in the nation, to a season low 54 yards off of 18 carries.

Sycamore seniors linebackers Aaron Archie and Jacolby Washington combined for 21 tackles. Junior safety Larry King also contributed ten tackles.

Sycamore sophomore quarterback Mike Perish threw for 27 completions out of 46

attempts and only had one interception. The defense of South Dakota State held the Sycamores to only 242 yards of total offense.

The Sycamores started in a hole and could not recoverer it. The Jackrabbits were the first to score and the Sycamores did not put points on the board until a field goal in the 14th minute into second quarter. The score going into half was ISU three and SDSU ten.

The Sycamores tried to come back in the second half of the competition but they just would never recover.

The Indiana State volleyball team picked up a win Friday, beating conference foe Bradley,3-1, changing their season record to 3-10 and Missouri Valley Conference record to 1-2. The team Saturday also faced another conference team, the Northern Iowa Panthers.

ISU vs. Bradley“All the players really wanted to come out and

beat Bradley tonight,” said head volleyball coach Traci Dahl. “We have always felt like we could do it, we just needed to change a few things and three of our players stepped up.”

The match began with ISU behind by three points. Sophomore Kyla Thomas changed the flow of play, putting the Sycamores on the scoreboard. They then took control of the lead, 8-7, after an error by Bradley. ISU continued leading the set with an ace from senior Shea Doran. The Sycamores soon took the first set, 25-20.

ISU seemed to be in the driver’s seat, before squandering a late lead in the second set, allowing Bradley to take the set 25-22.

Bradley would keep things close in the third. Doran gave the Sycamore three kills, hurdling them out to an early 6-1 lead. The Bradley Braves tried to sneak back up, but ISU held their own, maintaining the lead of 14-13. An error by Bradley and another ace by Doran aided ISU to capture the third set, 25-22.

On fourth sets both teams were going back and fourth until, freshmen Cassandra Willis and Victoria Swigart took the lead 3-2 with their kills. Unlike the other sets, neither had an advantage. Senior Christie Fullenkamp delivered two kills along with Thomas’ three, bringing home the fourth set and the match for the Sycamores.

ISU vs. Northern IowaISU looked to keep up its winning ways

Saturday, as the Sycamores welcomed Northern Iowa to the Arena. But the Sycamores could not replicate the result from the previous night, dropping the match in three sets.

ISU kept it close early in the first set. Fullankamp started the match with a kill scoring the first point. UNI was able to pull away halfway through, taking the set, 25-14.

In the second, Swigart added a kill to her count. Freshman Ashlen Buck helped ISU score another point with an ace, also with the aid of an attack error from the Panthers ISU seemed to be a the verge of victory in the third, but quickly fell 25-9.

On third set, ISU took a 1-0 lead early. That would be the Sycamores only lead of the set, however, as UNI was able to take the lead and never look back, winning the third set, 25-12.

The Sycamores’ record now stands at 3-11, with a 1-3 record in the MVC. The Sycamores return to action next Friday, Sept. 28th, as they host Illinois State at 7 p.m.

The Sycamores did gain some momentum in the third quarter off of a 12 yard rush on fourth down from senior punter Lucas Hileman on a fake punt play. The Sycamores ended the drive with a two yard rushing touchdown run by Bell. This would turn out to be the last time the Sycamores would score in the game.

The Jackrabbits of SDSU would score one more time in the

fourth quarter and would walk away with the victory. The final score was ISU 10 SDSU 24.

ISU Head coach Trent Miles said that this game served as a wakeup call to the team.

“The team fought, but they were undisciplined at times they needed to be disciplined and that led to their defeat,” Miles said. “We’re not out of this yet.”

Coach Miles is still optimistic

about their chances in the MVC. The Sycamores head to

Carbondal, Ill. next Saturday agaisnt the Salukis of Southern Illinois University. The Salukis are rivals in the Missouri Valley sitting 2-2 seasonal record and 1- 0 in the Missouri Valley Conference. Kickoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. at McAndrew Stadium.

“The team fought, but they were undisciplined at times they needed to be disciplined and that led to their defeat. We’re not out of this yet.”
