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.

Where is the money going?

State officials recently authorized ISU tospend $35 million in existing university funding for construction and improvement projects...

Cost: $24 million Tentative completion date: July 2013

Cost: $10 millionTentative completion date: July 2013

ISU officials expect to open bids soon for a project contractor, said Diann McKee, vice president of business affairs and finance. Erickson was dedicated as a residence hall on Nov. 4, 1962, according to the ISU Archives. It currently houses various university offices and Department of Communication classes.

Cost: $1.3 millionTentative completion date: fall 2012

The house that Larry Bird built is showing its age, McKee said.Hulman Center first opened to the public in 1973 as Hulman Civic-

University Center. The roof was last replaced in 1990, McKee said. Officials have since used patching and similar methods to repair leaks and other wear and tear.

“It is to the point where we can no longer do that,” McKee said.McKee said work will be scheduled so as not to interfere with the

2012-2013 basketball season and alternative plans are being made for other events scheduled in the facility.

Indiana State University police officers arrested a woman on Thursday for trespassing, marking the individual’s second run-in with university law enforcement.

Leigha N. Horvath, 20, of 279 Victory Hill, was arrested after officers observed Horvath’s 2002 Gold Toyota Avalon pulling out of ISU’s parking Lot 9, heading south on fourth street with a taillight out.

According to an Indiana State University police report, officers stopped the vehicle east of the intersection of Third Street and Cherry Street, where Horvath could not provide her license.

After Horvath properly identified herself, dispatch informed officers that she had previously been trespassed from campus last year.

Joe Newport, the assistant police chief of Public Safety, said the original trespass warning was established after Horvath attempted to grab evidence that an officer confiscated during a drug investigation.

Horvath’s vehicle was towed Durrs Towing and she was transported to the Vigo County where she was booked for trespassing. Horvath appeared in court Thursday morning.

Indiana State University is partnering with an engineering company that created a first-of-its-kind unmanned systems simulator to train college students.

ISU is collaborating with Corsair Engineering, which created the simulator to teach students in the university's unmanned systems program. The simulator, which will be integrated into unmanned system courses next fall, was created specifically for college students to learn the basics of operating unmanned vehicles. The ISU simulator is for unmanned aircraft.

"You don't have to spend time learning how the [specific aircraft] systems work," said Doug Smith, senior vice president of Corsair Engineering, who helped install the simulator at ISU. "In this case, you're just learning the core skills associated with UAS operation and employment. It is much more efficient and cost effective."

Indiana State first contacted the company in August, after seeing another simulator Corsair had initially created for an airplane manufacturer that eventually sold it to the University of North Dakota, Smith said.

Several members of ISU's aviation technology department then began

collaborating with the engineering company, resulting in the simulator known as the Integrated Multi-Mission, Multi-Platform UAS Trainer (IM3PUT). In the simulator, multiple unmanned aircraft can be put into scenarios that simulate different terrains or times of day. The simulator also allows for additional unmanned systems, such as ground and underwater unmanned vehicles, to be added.

"We're still in the learning mode," said Jeff Hauser, a brigadier general in the Indiana Air National Guard and ISU's director of unmanned systems. "But I will tell you, it offers things for the students that we couldn't simulate any other way."

Different scenarios can be created to help students learn to use a variety of equipment, such as different sensors to analyze objects or terrain. An infrared sensor would be used on an unmanned vehicle at night, while another kind would be used during the day, Hauser said.

"So different scenarios would use a different type of sensor," he added, "and

that's where a lot of the training will come in."

The simulator was initially installed in late-March, and Hauser and Richard Baker, director of the Center for Homeland Security and Crisis Leadership at ISU, have been training to learn more.

"We received it late enough in the semester that we weren't able to incorporate it into the classwork as much as we wanted to," Baker said, "but

the students have seen it work, they've seen how it works, and it's really raised a level of interest."

While ISU faculty members are still learning more, Corsair Engineering has been in contact with them to discuss additional elements that can be incorporated into the simulator, Baker said. The engineering company also is developing scenarios.

"We're a training company, so we're obviously very interested" in strengthening the collaboration, Corsair's Smith said. "The (unmanned aircraft system) industry is one of our core areas, and we'd like to continue closely our relationship with ISU. It's a good team. They have a good vision of where they want to go."

While many people envision unmanned systems to include drones and military equipment, many additional opportunities for non-military use exist for unmanned systems, Baker and Hauser said. They cited examples in construction and agriculture, such as hyperspectral imaging, which can determine water or chemical content in the ground where crops would be

planted.The Center for Unmanned Systems

Outreach and Human Capital Development, which includes the unmanned systems program, was named as part of Unbounded Possibilities, a multi-year, multi-million dollar initiative by Indiana State to address multiple community and societal needs.

More universities have been exploring developing programs in unmanned systems, Baker said. Still, only a few have developed a four-year major, or even a minor, which ISU currently offers. The university plans to have a four-year major available by spring 2013.

One of the reasons the field has been growing in popularity is the multi-disciplinary approach, as unmanned systems incorporates aviation, computer science, criminology, environmental sciences and psychology, among others.

"You name it, there are a lot of disciplines that can get involved in this field," Baker said, "and it all comes together in how we use these unmanned systems for the extensions of people: arms, legs, ears and sight."

For most students, college wouldn’t be possible without financial aid. Those who don’t receive much in scholarships or parental funding, have little choice but to fall back on Stafford loans, Pell grants or other state academic awards.

And the aid doesn’t merely cover steep tuition/room and board; it pays for books, groceries, school supplies, gas (for commuter students), housing off of campus or even medical emergencies. During a student’s tenure in college, “aid” becomes a modest word to describe its importance—it’s really financial “livelihood.”

But change is quickly coming to both the Stafford loan and Pell Grant, meaning higher debt for the lucky students, and a delayed education for the unfortunate.

An article on TIME magazine’s website states that subsidized student loan rates will double by July 1, jumping from 3.4 percent to 6.8 percent. The article cites the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, adding that the average Stafford loan borrower will pay $2,800 more over a 10-year repayment term after June 30. Students who take out more money and receive the maximum $23,000 will pay $5,000 more.

To make matters worse, legislation may be in the works to decrease Pell Grant funding. Cuts in Pell Grants have already been made due, in part, to the Continuing Resolution (H.R. 1), which sliced $60 billion from the federal budget in February.

Together, these changes will affect nearly 17 million students across the country.

Although, Congress has a lot on their plate, those representatives already have their college degrees and live comfortably. Politicians can’t treat student loan rates like gas prices. They can’t keep lowering the amount of aid and expect citizens to just complain and cope with it.

Nowadays, a high school diploma won’t get you anywhere in the real world. And in some places, an undergraduate degree won’t help much either. If our country has made a college education the standard, legislators’ priorities should match that.

With July only a few months away, students have already sent 130,000 letters to Congress. We urge members the ISU population to cram those mailboxes, as well, and speak up for their educational rights.

Abortion will always be a widely controversial and debated topic, yes. But I’m sick of reading about both sides and their obnoxious means of spreading their beliefs. The University of North Carolina is the latest hot spot for the tired banter.

During a book signing and discussion lead by abortion rights advocate Jennifer Baumgardner Monday, T-shirts reading, “I had an abortion” were sold. Naturally, there was a backlash, with a few students

wearing shirts that retorted, “I haven’t killed a baby.”

And here we are, talking more about the protesters than the topic itself.

Pro-lifers are upset about the “I had an abortion” shirts because wearers appear to be boasting about their terminated pregnancies. Pro-choicers are fussing because the opposing side seems accusatory and arrogant.

But who wins? This shouldn’t even be a competition about who’s better or more righteous. This isn’t a “Who wore it best?” contest. It’s a serious matter that needs to be handled as such.

There are other topics, such as smoking vs. non-smoking, where sensationalistic

advertising works. The Center for Disease Control recently released a graphic anti-smoking campaign chronicling the lives of cancer patients and voice box users. Since it began, more than 33,000 people have called 1-800-QUIT-NOW. While the images used in the ads were sobering or unnerving, they were honest. The CDC has at least strayed from pointing fingers at the tobacco companies and grown up.

Abortion can’t be approached in the same way. It works for smoking because it’s generally acknowledged now that it isn’t great for one’s health (hence the Surgeon General’s warning neatly printed on each pack). But with abortion, the question truly lies with when life starts—that answer hasn’t been scientifically

set in stone yet. If attention is what UNC’s

students wanted, they certainly got it. I applaud everyone involved for moving beyond the ol’ sidewalk chalk messages method. However, their T-shirts aren’t that much of an improvement. They’re basically on the exact level of those quirky shirts with messages like “I see dumb people” or “I’m not anti-social, I’m just anti-stupid.”

If either side really wanted to fuel the debate, they could have resorted to walking up to one another, giving their views on the topic and listening to the opposing side. I thought that’s how arguments were supposed to be.

Sycamore Sessions hosts last event of school yearAAron Abel Assistant features editor

Anyone was invited to come and socialize while listening to a variety of music genres performed by talented ISU students at the last Sycamore Session of the year last night at 7 p.m. in the Sycamore Lounge.

“The Sessions offer the audience a place to come, relax and listen to music without having to pay anything,” Sycamore Sessions co-president and junior electronics media major Cynthia Ban said.

The show included free food, a raffle, a comedy skit and a diverse array of music.

“Students play a variety of genres here,” said Glenn Skinner, committee member and student affairs and higher education graduate student. “Country, rap, soul, acapella… everything is played.”

Freshman music performance major Jeff Richardson performed an original acapella piece called “Vacation” during the show.

Richardson has performed two times before at the Sycamore Sessions, and uses the event to stay in practice, he said.

“It really is a lot of fun, I like the casual and welcoming atmosphere,” Richardson said. “I fell like everyone has a good time, and the committee works real hard to keep the program going.”

Junior operations and supply chain management major Justin Gardner attended the event for his second time, this time performing an acoustic cover of “I’ll Be” by Edwin McCain.

“I have a lot of fun here,” Gardner said. “I just wish there were more performers.”

The sessions took place four times this semester but the committee hopes to hold them more often next year, Skinner said.

Co-president and junior communication major Tia Timberlake has been a part of the organization since its start last spring and hopes to get more members on board for next year.

“We’re looking for more committee members for next year,” Timberlake said, “especially freshman and sophomores so the event continues to grow.”

Timberlake hopes they’ll be able to hold at least one big event next semester in one of the Dedes.

“Hopefully we can get more performers on a bigger stage with a bigger audience next year,” Timberlake said.

While the committee looks to expanding in the future, Timberlake said she is happy with how the Sessions have gone this year.

“It’s gone smoothly, and it’s been a lot of fun for everyone involved,” Timberlake said, “and everybody loves free food, right?”

Students took the stage in Sycamore Lounge Thursday night for the last Sycamore Sessions event of the year. Talents varied from comedy skits, raps and original song compositions. Free food and a raffle were provided (Photos by Clara Doti).

Donaghy Day continues traditions at ISU

ISU facility and students participate in Donaghy Day by assisting in spring clean-up around campus (Photo courtesy of ISU Communications and Marketing).

Jessica Neff Reporter

Students, faculty, staff, alumni and all other members of the Indiana State University community have and will come together to give back to the community of Terre Haute and the Wabash Valley for Donaghy Day.

Donaghy Day has been a tradition that was started in 1976 under President Richard G. Landini. It was named after 1912 alumnus and professor of life sciences, Fred Donaghy.

The spring Donaghy Day will be taking place Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The kickoff event will be at 8:30 a.m. at Tirey Hall’s patio.

“We will be thanking the volunteers and announcing the Sycamore Service Challenge winners; we had a decent turnout of students involved in the challenge [600+],” said associate director for the Center for Community Engagement, Heather Miklozek. “There will also be over 500 potted pansies to be distributed in order to be planted or to be put inside in order to make [the surroundings] more beautiful.”

Miklozek has been contacting agencies over the past two to three months.

“The center contacts businesses and agencies that we have assisted before, or a part of Ryves Hall or AmeriCorps,” she said.

There are currently more than 400 people signed up to participate in Donaghy Day, Miklozek said.

Registration for the event was online through the Center for Community Engagement website.

After the kick-off event, participants will be designated to their respective service projects and places.

“Landscaping and painting will be two popular outdoor activities,” Miklozek said. “Clearing files and boxing up stuff for the places that will be moving to new facilities will be happening inside the buildings. Anything that people consider to be ‘spring cleaning’ will be the activities.”

At ISU, contributors will be naming the Performing Arts Building and planting a tree outside it, as well as planting trees and flowers around campus, Miklozek said.

“We have invited all faculty members to partake,” she said. “Some students choose to volunteer during their class time and others work around their schedules. We encourage faculty to use Donaghy Day as credit for class, and we have slips that prove that the student was participating in Donaghy Day which is why [he or she] was not in class.”

Sophomore textile, apparel and

merchandizing major and Alpha Sigma Alpha member Elizabeth Lynch remembered her experience with Donaghy Day during her freshman year.

“It was really neat because all the [residential assistants] in the dorms encouraged us to go as freshmen,” Lynch said. “We went to West Vigo and painted the gym. I met so many people; it was really fun, and it makes you feel good about yourself because it’s for a good cause.”

Lynch said she really wants to do it again and was unaware that it was happening tomorrow.

Now that she knows, Lynch said, “I’ll send out a mass text and some of my sisters and I will do it tomorrow.”

Senior communication major Joshua Trotter was also unaware of the event.

“I did it my freshman year, and we went to Ryves Hall as a floor program [in the

dorm],” Trotter said. “I didn’t want to go, but my roommate was going and most everyone on my floor was too. We had fun with the kids [at Ryves].”

Trotter lives off-campus and believes that a mass text message to the entire student body as well as teachers offering extra credit for participation in Donaghy Day would increase the interest and participation in the event.

“It would be a great incentive to do good for someone else, if I got something in return,” he said.

Miklozek believes that Donaghy Day is a great event and an opportunity for people who do not get involved with volunteering to do so. There are many first-time volunteers who come to the event and hopes that they continue with their service.

“[Donaghy Day] is a way to show an example of how students can get involved

in their own community upon graduation,” she said. “It provides support and reaches out to the Terre Haute and Wabash Valley communities. I hope that 100 percent of our students contribute to service and volunteering before they graduate.”

“I met so many people; it was really fun, and it makes you feel good about yourself because it’s for a good cause.”Elizabeth Lynch, Sophomore textile, apparel and merchandizing major

Finch, Powers, receive Dreiser Research and Creativity Dave TaylorISU Communications and Marketing

Two Indiana State University faculty members have been honored with the 2012 Theodore Dreiser Distinguished Research and Creativity Award.

Alfred Finch, professor of biomechanics, and Joshua Powers, professor of educational leadership, received the award during the university’s Faculty Recognition Banquet Tuesday (April 17). Named for the early 20th century author who grew up in Terre Haute, the Dreiser Award recognizes full-time ISU faculty members who have made outstanding contributions to their disciplines.

Finch served as a research biomechanist at the 1982 National Sports Festival for, the International Track and Field Coaches Association at the 1996 Atlanta Olympics, for the USA Track and Field elite hurdler development Program and at the U.S. National Track and Field Championships since 1998. He worked 10 years as the research bio-mechanist for the USA Track & field Elite Hurdle Development program, and filmed the 2003 National Collegiate Athletic Association Cross

Country Championships.Under Finch’s leadership, the ISU

biomechanics laboratory was the first program in the country to utilize real-time streamed data in class instruction of neuromuscular concepts. Finch evaluated the effectiveness of a new golf putter design and an angled sprint starting block prototype on running kinematics. He developed a wireless video streaming network capable of handling up to three video streams collected during a track competition

Finch developed research lines in exercise physiology early in his career and later developed a diverse research focus on sport performance, ergonomics, rehabilitation, and equipment prototype evaluation. He has conducted a series of biomechanical research studies that examined the effectiveness of an active traction prototype which had received FDA approval for rehabilitative applications.

His efforts have produced 50 refereed research publications, 51 refereed research abstracts, 97 research presentations, two internationally-published software programs for body composition determinations and computerized

exercise prescription, a software program for biomechanical video analysis, and statistical post-hoc procedures, seven court litigation technical reports, 23 DVDs of elite sport technique analyses, a kinesiology laboratory workbook, and 43 grants representing an added value to the university’s biomechanics laboratory of approximately $750,000.

“I am extremely honored to receive this award because of all the scholarly/creative accomplishments of the previous recipients,” Finch said. “I chose to work at ISU because I wanted to join an institution that truly valued and supported the scholar-researcher model. ISU has afforded me the opportunity to build world-class motion analysis laboratories in which I can examine almost every facet of human performance and has fostered great real-world interactive learning experiences for students in my classes in order to prepare them for successful professional careers.”

Finch holds a master’s degree in biomechanics and a Ph.D. in exercise science, both from the University of Maryland at College Park.

Powers teaches in the Bayh College of Education’s higher education doctoral program, where he specializes in higher

education finance and policy, the law of higher education, and university entrepreneurship. Chair of the department of educational leadership between 2005 and 2010, Powers currently serves as a faculty fellow in the Office of Academic Affairs as special assistant to the provost for academic initiatives since his return from a year-long American Council on Education fellowship in 2009-10.

Powers’ research on entrepreneurship in higher education and technology transfer have resulted in more than 60 peer reviewed articles, monographs, book chapters, and scholarly papers appearing in academic outlets such as the Journal of Higher Education, Research Policy, and the Journal of Business Venturing as well as publications such as the Chronicle of Higher Education, Inside Higher Ed, and Change Magazine.

“Being selected for the Theodore Dreiser Award is such an honor knowing that it comes from one’s peers,” Powers said. “As a scholar, it is humbling to be recognized for contribution to knowledge, a core part of what it means to be a faculty member.”

Powers holds doctoral degrees in higher education administration and business from Indiana University - Bloomington.

ErnEst rollinsSports editor

The 2012 State Farm Missouri Valley Conference Women’s Golf Championship will be held for the first time in Terre Haute this weekend.

For three days, 10 teams from across the MVC will be competing for the women’s golf conference title at the Country Club of Terre Haute for three rounds.

The MVC office, in a pre-championship poll, chose the Sycamores to finish in sixth position in the tournament. In a press release by ISU Athletics Media Relations ISU women’s golf head coach Greg Towne said the result of the tournament is unpredictable but playing at home is an advantage.

The lineup for the Sycamores include juniors Christina Beyerl, Emily Dixon and McCall Christopher and two of three freshmen, Amanda Smith, Gina Della Camera and Erinn Sutton. Juinor Reece Feducia will miss the tournament as well after sitting out the spring season to recover from an illness.

The Missouri State Bears are the favorites to take the 2012 Championship. The Bears secured 10 first place votes, a perfect score. The Shockers of Wichita State were selected to finish second with the Southern Illinois Salukis chosen for third

and the Illinois State Redbirds in fourth. The Sycamores’ best finish in an MVC tournament was third place in 2010.

The highest an individual Sycamore ever finished in the tournament was in 2011 by Feducia. According to ISU Athletics Media Relations website Towne views the league to be more balanced than ever before and who comes out on top is wide open.

The championship is scheduled to tee-off at 8:30 a.m. on Sunday and over the next three days tee-off at the same time.

ISU NASCAR Kinetics hosts race viewing party Richelle KimbleReporter

Indiana State University’s NASCAR Kinetics Marketing in Motion team is holding their final event at Buffalo Wild Wings on Tuesday, April 22, from 12:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The viewing party is the last of three major events that will determine their national rank.

Indiana State is one of 18 schools participating in the national NASCAR Kinetics competition. The program is available every fall and spring semester for teams up to five students from each participating school. This year’s team at Indiana State is unique in two ways: there are only four participants, and they are the first all-women squad to participate in the four years it has been offered at ISU.

2012 team members include Kyliah Noe-Means, Eden Dillman, Lauren Morgan and Scheyanna White. The class is offered for motor sport marketing minors only, and is advised by Dr. Joyce Young and Dr. Kim Bodey.

The three major assignments for each team include two case studies and a viewing party. Each of these assignments involve NASCAR directly; NASCAR representatives judge the case studies and attend the viewing party. The overall decision is based on how each marketing team solves the cases presented to them, and their overall efforts and success in putting together the viewing party.

NASCAR Kinetics Marketing in Motion allows college students to have hands-on experience with major, real life companies like NASCAR. The assignments are real stimulations, and engulf the students in a comprehensive sales and marketing strategy that will help increase sales of specific sponsors. The students offer a fresh perspective to the company, and gain an opportunity to emerge themselves into a career benefitting experience.

“This is a marketing program that gives us hands on learning, while allowing us experience what it would be like in a motorsports career,” White said.

The two case studies this year involved NASCAR sponsors Fathead and Campingworld; the first case study was a written report, and the second was a video presentation. Following the first case study, ISU’s team was ranked fifth in the nation. The results from the second case study have not been released yet. However, the team has high goals for their overall ranking.

“I think we have a good shot at making the top three,” Morgan said. “We knew going in that the first case study was going to be the weakest, and we know that the video and viewing is where Indiana State is the strongest.”

In 2010, ISU won the national competition, giving motivation to this year’s women to continue the school’s success.

The grand prize for the winning team will receive an all inclusive trip to Charlotte, North Carolina for the NASCAR all-star race. The winning participants will also have VIP privileges that allow them to meet the racers and workers. The winning team will be announced on May 2nd.

ISU’s Kinetic Team’s viewing is focused on marketing Mrs. Brown M&M and incorporating NASCAR’s Sprint Cup series race.

Come support ISU’s local marketing squad April 22 between 12:00 p.m. and 5:00 p.m. The race will be shown on the televisions at Buffalo Wild Wings, and there will be plenty of door prizes and giveaways. A DJ will be providing music, and ISU’s team will also be providing limited free wings and Coca-Cola company will be providing free drinks.

TERRE HAUTE, Ind.—The offense of the Indiana State softball team (16-25, 3-13 MVC) roared to life in the bottom of the fifth inning, scoring five runs, to give the Sycamores a doubleheader split over the Redbirds of Illinois State (25-20, 10-7 MVC) Wednesday at Price Field.

“This group of girls has worked extremely hard this year and today we beat a great team,” head coach Shane Bouman said. “We are excited for this weekend.”

Game One:The Sycamore offense struggled to get going in game one of

the doubleheader against Illinois State as the Sycamores got their first base runner in the bottom of the second inning on a walk by senior Olivia Andres.

Freshman Megan Bunting entered the game to pinch run for Andres and advanced to second on a sacrafice bunt by junior Alex Lucas but she could get no further as a foul out and groundout ended the inning.

The Redbirds put up two runs, only one earned, in the top of the fourth inning to take a 2-0 lead over the Sycamores. The Redbirds then extended their lead in the top of the seventh inning off an unearned run to take a 3-0 lead.

Freshman Megan Stone led off the bottom of the seventh with a single but the Sycamores could not claw their way back into the game as they fell by a final score of 3-0 in game one.

Despite getting the loss, senior Lindsey Beisser pitched the complete game, giving up just one earned run and striking out three.

Game Two:The Sycamore offense struck early in game two as Andres

crushed her third home run of the season over the left center field fence to give the Sycamores a 1-0 advantage in the bottom of the second inning.

Neither team was able to do much on the offensive end until the Redbirds came back to tie the game in the top half of the fourth inning to make it 1-1.

The Sycamore offense made a statement in the bottom of the fifth inning, however, as they score five runs in the frame to take a commanding 6-1 lead.

With one out, freshman Ashley Dickerson fueled the Sycamore run with a double followed by back-to-back singles by Bunting and sophomore Alex Baumgart. After a groundout, senior Hailey Tinsman and sophomore Shelby Wilson hit back-to-back singles followed by an error on the Redbirds, allowed the Sycamores to jump out to their largest lead of the game at 6-1, one they would not give up.

Beisser, who pitched both games of the doubleheader, allowed no hits and just two base runners over the last two innings to secure the Sycamore win.

Andres finished game two going 2-3 at the plate with an RBI and run scored. Tinsman, Wilson, and Baumgart also each added RBI’s for the Sycamores.

Beisser finished the day with a 1.00 ERA over 14 innings of work, allowing just two earned runs.

The Sycamores will return to action on Saturday when they wrap up their home portion of their 2012 schedule against the Shockers of Whichita State.

COMMONS FLASHED

Music drowned out the normal lunchtime conversation in the Commons Thursday as ISU music students performed Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody.” The 12 students rehearsed all semester preparing for the performance that took place at 11:25 a.m. Shocked Commons-goers responded to the performance with screams and applause (Photos by Jamie Nichols).
