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.

Indiana State University’s physician assistants Master’s program has produced its first class of 29 graduates.

After beginning the program in January of 2010, the first participants have completed the initial phase of the programs.

“The white coat received at the ceremony signifies completing classroom work and going into the professional, clinical world,” said Richard “Biff ’ Williams, dean of the college of nursing.

Due to accreditation, the program has a limit of admitting 30 graduates.

However, the program receives a few hundred applications. When the program was being developed, it was modeled after other physician assistant programs that already existed, so ISU’s program is very similar to others.

“The difference of our program is what makes it unique. It is housed in the department of physical therapy, occupational therapy and athletic trainers, so there is an interprofessional aspect and a rural focus because there are a certain number of clinical rotations that have to be completed in small or underprivileged communities,” Williams said.

Graduate Matthew Thimling, recipient of the “Future of Professionalism” award, agrees with the uniqueness of ISU’s program.

“The ISU PA program stands out from every other PA program, in my opinion, because of its strong emphasis on rural healthcare while training students to provide the best possible patient services,” Thimling said.

The didactic phase of learning in various courses lasting 15 months is followed by a clinical phase, which spans a period of 12 months.

There are sites for clinical rotations all around central Indiana, and further sites can be options as long as the location is approved. During these rotations, graduate students shadow and work with physician assistants or medical doctors for hands on experience, Williams said.

“From a personal standpoint, the program did an excellent job of teaching me the skills I’ll need to not only diagnose and treat patients, but to also effectively communicate and develop relationships with those around me. The ISU PA program has set a high standard of expected care from their students, and I believe it’s really going to show as we work through our clinical year,” Thimling said.

Trafficking/from page 1

Ella dEla PEnaFeatures editor

Governor Mitch Daniels signed a bill Monday strengthening human trafficking laws in time for a potential spike of crime surrounding Super Bowl weekend.

The legislation tightens up Indiana law, making it easier to prosecute human traffickers as a class A felony, which can result in up to 50 years in prison.

Alongside the bill, Indianapolis and surrounding cities, including Terre Haute, are preparing the public for signs to watch out for in regards to human trafficking.

Saint Mary-of-the-Woods invited hotel managers and staff, cab drivers and the local community on campus to learn about human trafficking trends and prevention techniques.

“We have to come up with something, and it starts with education,” Sergeant Jason Brentlinger of the Terre Haute police department said at a human trafficking workshop hosted by the Sisters of Providence Monday afternoon.

Brentlinger spoke with experience and events he saw take place during his days in the Marine Corps.

“I was 18 years old in Okinawa, [Japan],” Brentlinger said. “There were 13 to 14-year-old girls. I’ve seen it first hand, and it disgusted me.”

Human trafficking is a $32 billion global industry and is the fastest growing criminal activity in the world, Brentlinger said.

There are several efforts happening across Indiana in hopes of reducing demand for trafficked persons, CEO of Indiana Coalition Against Sexual Assault, Anita Carpenter said.

Local churches, faith organizations and state entities have been working for the past several months on several projects, including SOAP. The SOAP project is working with area hotels to put soaps with stickers containing information and the national hotline number in bathrooms, Carpenter said. More than 16,000 bars of soap are expected to be distributed this week.

The Indiana Trafficked Persons Assistance program has also been working on collaborative efforts regarding the Super Bowl. Law enforcement and services providers have been training and coordinating efforts for the big game, said director Carleen Miller.

“Many community organizations have come together to build awareness and do outreach to the community,” Miller said.

According to the National Attorneys General Training & Research Institute, 59 prostitution arrests were made before and during the event. Eleven of the arrests were suspected of being human trafficking during the week leading up to the 2011 Super Bowl.

“We have to stop it,” Brentlinger said. “This is slavery. We’re hitting hard and heavy now.”

Those who believe they are witness to human trafficking can call the National Human Trafficking Resource Center at 888-373-7888.

“I was 18 years old in Okinawa. There were 13 to 14-year-old

girls. I’ve seen it first hand, and it disgusted me.”

2,515 trafficking investigations were opened by the Department of Justice anti-Trafficking Task forces between 2008

and 2010. of those, 239 were cases opened in the midwest.

651 trafficking investigations were opened up by the U.S. immigration and customs enforcement in 2010, which resulted in

Students in fear of prosecution for underage drinking will soon have the law on their side. The Indiana Lifeline Bill, which pertains to overconsumption, is being ratified in the Senate and House of Representatives.

According to the bill, those who are underage, publicly intoxicated, consuming alcohol and transporting it must complete a diversion program to avoid prosecution. Individuals who drive under the influence or people who don’t cooperate with emergency officials won’t be protected, though.

Bill Mercier, director of public safety, has said that a downside to the law is that people can view it as a “free pass.” The guilty could avoid jail time or a tarnished record as long as they comply.

However, there is a limit to the number of times individuals can complete the program. And as Mercier also added “it encourages students to reach out for help” and hopefully teaches them a lesson.

Ultimately, the bill’s concern is with the safety and well being of underage drinkers. College students, especially, often put their pride before their health if the police are potentially involved.

With the bill, life takes precedence over punishment. Young people make mistakes and the law is willing to forgive that as long as they take responsibility and educate themselves.

Indiana bill gives underage drinkers

second chance

Statesman editorialMcDonald’s and

I have a history that runs as deep as the fryer.

I can distinctly remember the first time I bit into the cheap, sloppy goodness of a Big Mac. And, without peeking, I could identify any item on the McDonald’s menu (both breakfast and lunch) by combo number and price. I am a McFan—loud and proud.

However, Stacey Irvine, a 17-year-old

British factory worker, has me beat. The young lady has eaten nearly nothing but chicken nuggets for the past 15 years and, recently, it finally caught up to her. She collapsed at work from malnutrition and was rushed to a hospital.

Once news broke of Irvine’s strange diet woes, McDonald’s super salty nuggets came under attack. A ten-piece order of McNuggets contains 900 mg of sodium, 3/5 of the recommended daily amount, according the msn article, “A McNugget-only Diet?”

In the same article, Dr. David Katz, founding director of Yale University’s Prevention Research Center, points the finger at the fast food industry stating that it “creates a preference for very salty foods with the high salt content of [its] products, then creates products to satisfy that preference.”

It shouldn’t be a secret to anyone that McDonald’s is the epitome of unhealthy. They print nutrition labels on their packaging now, though, and even offer alternatives such as salads, yogurt and fruit. But if you want something with more sustenance, you’re in the wrong

place. McDonald’s is in the fast and frugal market, not the fitness business. So why are people still acting surprised about the ingredients or the long-term effects?

The employees at Micky D’s didn’t sprinkle the fries with cocaine, and the CEO certainly didn’t hold Irvine down and force feed the nuggets to her.

This is a classic case of bad parenting and poor judgment. Open and shut.

Irvine was initially exposed to McNuggets when she was two years old. Who drove her to the restaurant and bought them for her?—her mother. At least until Irvine was “mature” enough to make her own decisions, her parents had to have been enabling the chicken addiction. It’s extremely hard to believe they were oblivious to her deteriorating condition, as well.

It’s common sense that if one eats an item repeatedly over time, whether it’s healthy of not, one isn’t receiving all of the vital nutrients. That’s why there needs to be versatility in a diet; that’s why the basic food groups exist.

Irvine, regardless of her age, is a victim of negligence. Her family had the power to instill proper eating habits early, but chose not to, endangering Irvine and hindering her growth and development. Instead, by allowing her to ingest McNuggets daily, Irvine’s parents convinced her that nutrition wasn’t a

priority. We’re becoming a society that’s

obsessed with finding scapegoats—the fast food industry is all too familiar with that—but McDonald’s shouldn’t be on trial in this situation. When parents take their children out to eat and they walk up to the counter, they’re the ones in control.

They’re the ones who decide whether to give their children life or to take it away.

Forget about taking the risk of tracking down a dealer to buy weed, meth, or a baggie of your favorite pharmaceutical drug. Why not go to your local mini-mart and pick up some bath salts? I mean, something legal that we can ingest for a high, with no risk of drug charges—I’m in...not.

Bath salts, also called Ivory Wave, Bolivian Bath, White Lightning, Hurricane Charlie, Mystic or Tranquility is the up-and-coming

drug to get high on. No, I’m not talking about Epsom salts, which you actually bathe with. I’m refering to the powdered street drug that mimics the effects of meth or cocaine, but contains the ingredients MDPV (methylenedioxypyrovalerone) and mephedrone which can cause chest pain, heart attack, stroke, hallucinations, paranoia and suicidal thoughts and tendencies. People across the country are snorting, injecting, smoking and ingesting bath salts (in food and drink).

Why is such a potent drug being legally sold in convenient stores all across the country? Because it is marketed “not for human consumption” and labeled for bath salts or plant food.

So let me get this straight. People of reasonable intelligence levels are ditching the drug dealers to legally purchase a $20 high in a bag that is labeled “NOT FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION,” and then ingesting the chemicals into their blood stream to alter their brain chemistry.

A bottle of bleach and rat poison are labeled “not for human consumption” too.Fox news published an online article discussing a guy in Louisiana who snorted

some bath salts and three days later, after craving the constant ingestion of the drug, he slit his own throat in front of his father and sister. But he missed some major arteries in the slice and dicing, so he shot himself in the head. He was 21-years-old.

The same article described another man in Mississippi, a pro with drugs like heroin and cocaine, who tried bath salts, and was so terrified by the hallucinations and delusions that he sliced his own face and stomach, and now has the scars to

haunt him the rest of his life. Bath salts are not a smoke-a-doobie-before-class type of drug. The chemicals in

bath salts are stimulants that affect the neurotransmitters in your brain and cause intense cravings for more bath salts. People have been indulging on bath salts for three or four days before they end up in the emergency room, if they make it to the emergency room.

The Huffington Post describes a story about a man in Washington who took his wife for a high speed joy ride before shooting her in the head and then turning the gun on himself. Bath salts were found on the couple. If this isn’t bad enough, the investigating officers found the couple’s five-year-old son had been suffocated with a plastic bag at their home.

KSBW shared news of a guy in California who drove his car onto the on-coming traffic ramp and maneuvered his car for a head-on-collision with another vehicle, killing a 49-year-old woman and escaping without a scratch. Once sober, he has to live with the manslaughter he committed while high on bath salts.

In Indiana, Fox 59 news aired a story about a 14-year-old girl who overdosed on bath salts while partying with friends. She started vomiting blood and was then dumped on the yard of a friend’s house by the supposed “friends” she was riding around with.

According to Fox59, bath salts were outlawed by the Indiana General Assembly on July 1, 2011, but these drugs are still on our streets, and with a “codeword,” available in certain convenient stores.

If drugs are on your to-do-list, and you aren’t strong enough to skip that task, then please get help in order to avoid hurting other, innocent people.

Let me clarify: when I say “don’t hurt other people,” I consider slicing your own throat in front of your family a form of causing pain to others. I consider causing a head-on-collision a form of hurting others. I consider suffocating an innocent child with a plastic bag a form of harming others.

Senior faculty member Randy Mitchell will be performing his annual solo recital Thursday at 7:30 p.m. at the Center for Performing and Fine Arts, located on Seventh and Chestnut streets.

Mitchell, an Indiana State University alumnus, has been teaching trombone and euphonium to Indiana State University students for 22 years now. Throughout the years, he has taught many classes for music majors including music appreciation, music theory and jazz procedures.

His most significant aspect of teaching is the one-on-one time he spends with his students during private instruction, Mitchell said.

Senior music education major, Ben Schepers, is one of Mitchell’s students.

“Dr. Mitchell is one of those professors who has the rare talent of being both a top notch performer and a great educator,” Schepers said. “He is always willing to go out of his way to help his students and genuinely cares about them and their well-being. It’s been a pleasure and an honor working with him for the past four years.”

Mitchell’s recital is something he considers to be a “personal ethic.”

“I spend so much time teaching students how to play these instruments,” Mitchell said. “Having a yearly recital is a way that I can prove my competency to them and show them that I can talk the talk and walk the walk.”

This year, Mitchell has decided to do something different with his recital.

“Usually I plan a big concerto and base everything around that. This year, I’m having a bit more fun,” Mitchell said. “The concert really displays that. Instead of playing these

elaborate pieces, I’m playing some very pretty, fun pieces of music. My students might play these songs in the future, so I’m giving them the opportunity to hear some of the literature.”

Mitchell’s recital will be held in Recital Hall in the Center for Performing and Fine Arts. The event is free and open to the public.

“Dr. Mitchell is one of those professors who has the rare

talent of being both a top notch performer and a great educator.”

Members of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity will be auctioning themselves o� to the highest bidder for four hours of community service.

� e eighth annual Rent-A-Pike fundraising event will be held on � ursday from 7-10 p.m. in Dede I.

� e event started within the past ten years by Pi Kappa Alpha alumnus Josh Hall. Senior marketing major and Pike alumnus Sam Lewis said it was inspired by another organization’s similar idea.

“Our goal is to raise $3,000 for Relay for Life,” sophomore communication major and philanthropy chair, Bart Stucker said. “We raised almost $2,000 last year.”

Members of Pi Kappa Alpha fraternity will be divided into groups and be put up for auction during the event.

� e event is geared towards sorority involvement through advertising because they show the most interest and participation said sophomore elementary education major and Rent-A-Pike chairman, Jay Reeves. Each team will give four hours of community service to the highest bidder.

“I divided the guys up by request. I mixed up older and newer members,” Reeves said. “� e pairings are also based on the level of socialization within the Greek community.”

Some Pike members taking part in the event are participating for the � rst time.

“I am a little anxious that I have to stand up in front of people,” freshman criminology major James Trackwell said.

� e participants will be wearing formal attire to the event.

SmartMoney magazine editor James B. Stewart to speak on campus

Paula MeyerISU Communications and Marketing

James B. Stewart, author and editor-at-large of SmartMoney magazine, will take the stage Thursday in Indiana State University’s Tilson Auditorium in conjunction with the University Speakers Series. During his presentation, he will discuss the breakdown of ethics that exists in our society today. His presentation is being co-sponsored by the Scott College of Business and Inside INdiana Business.

Stewart features his insights into business and investing trends in his weekly column, “Common Sense,” which also runs in the New York Times.

He is the author of the New York Times bestseller, “Disney War: The Battle for the Magic Kingdom,” which won the Loeb Award for Best Business Book and was named one of the best books of the year by Barron’s. His Heart of a Soldier was named “Best Book about 9/11” by TIME. His other bestsellers include Blood Sport, Blind Eye and Den of Thieves, the definitive account of 1980s Wall Street insider trading scandals.

His new book, “Tangled Webs: How False Statements are Undermining America: From Martha Stewart to Bernie Madoff,” is a revealing investigation of the perjury epidemic in America, which he suggests is symptomatic of an alarming breakdown of ethics that compromises our judicial system as well as business, government, academia and medicine.

While at the Wall Street Journal, Stewart won a Pulitzer Prize in 1988 for his reporting on the stock market crash and insider trading. Stewart is a graduate of Harvard Law School and DePauw University. He lectures frequently on values and ethics in American business and politics. He is a member of the New York bar and holds the Bloomberg chair at the Columbia School of Journalism, where he is a professor.

A book signing and reception will follow Stewart’s presentation, which will begin at 7 p.m. The program is free and open to the public.

Now in its 31st season, the University Speakers Series has brought the likes of Ralph Nadar, Gerald Ford, Sister Helen Prejean, Amy Tan, Nancy Grace, Andy Rooney, Robert Ballard, Carole Simpson, Marlee Matlin, Maya Angelou, Jim Lovell, Garrison Keillor, Bob Woodward, Robert Osborne, Mitch Albom and Andrew Young to the campus of Indiana State.

ISU students will not have access to the Student Recreation Pool for an undetermined period of time.

About 5 ‘o clock on Friday night there was a call from the lifeguard on duty saying there was a hole in the pool. Following a preliminary analysis of the situation on Monday with general contractors the problem is the laminate on the pool floor lost its seal with the concrete director of recreatinal sports John Lentz said. “If you envision your living room wall with paint bubbles in it,” Lentz said.

“Can you repair it by just fixing the areas that are bubbled are do you have the scrape the whole wall and repaint it.”

To date, there is no projected estimation of the cost or how long it will take to repair the pool. In addition, there is concern that the problem extends beyond that one area. Lentz said contractors from Hammond Construction Inc. found “hollow spots” in other areas of the pool and hot tub upon examination suggesting, that it is a growing issue.

“We don’t know how to present what we are up against yet,” Lentz said. “It is a pretty significant issue.”

College Sports MythsMyth 3: Colleges spend equally on their students and student athletes

Fact: Spending per athlete is more than six times spending per student.

Spending on athletics continues to rise while academic spending remains steady. Expenses for athletics in 2008 were between $80,000 and $90, 000. An increase of approximately $30,000 from 2005.

On the other hand, academic spending remained relatively above $10,000 from 2005-2008.

The Indiana StatesmanThree Times a Week

Monday-Wednesday-Friday

Look your best.

After possibly one of the most disappointing seasons in recent history the only thing left for the Indianapolis Colts to look forward to is the Super Bowl they will be hosting in about one week. This is a team that, under quarter back Peyton Manning, enjoyed 10 seasons of at least 12 wins or more in a 13-year stretch (11 of them reaching the playoffs) and one Super Bowl championship. After losing Manning to a neck injury in the offseason the Colts failed to not only make the playoffs again, but failed to win the first 13 games and finished the season an abysmal 2-14.

This season had a domino effect on the Indianapolis Colts organization as owner Jim Isray essentially cleaned house with the firing of major staff including head coach Jim Caldwell, team Vice Chairman Bill Polian, and General Manager Chris

Polian. Owner Jim Isray is obviously going a new direction with his team and he holds the number one pick overall in this year’s upcoming draft.

What could this mean for quarterback Peyton Manning?There is much speculation circulating that this pick will be used to take Stanford

quarterback Andrew Luck. If this pick is in fact made, then a very sticky situation will begin for the Colts as Manning is due $28 million by March 8. A decision must be made on whether or not the Colts will keep their star quarterback. It is very apparent that both Manning and Luck cannot co-exist on the Colts roster due to both financial

reasons and the decision to have one of the star quarterbacks ride the bench. If the Colts do in fact cut Manning before the March 8 deadline, then where could he land?

Peyton Manning has accomplished much in his career as a Colt, making 11 Pro Bowls, an NFL-record four league MVP awards, one Super Bowl Championship (as well as being named MVP of that Super Bowl), and numerous NFL records. He has been recognized as one of the best NFL quarterbacks of all time. It is obvious from these facts that any team in the NFL would be lucky to land him as their quarterback. The early leaders look to be the Washington Redskins, Miami Dolphins, New York Jets, and the Arizona Cardinals. These teams have all expressed an interest in Manning despite his potentially career threatening neck injury. All of this lies in what the Colts decide to do with their

future Hall of Fame quarterback. Will they cut ties with him late in his career similar to how the 49ers did with Hall of Fame quarterback Joe Montana? Or will they find a way to keep both Peyton Manning and Andrew Luck, while possibly compromising the team’s financial future? Or will Manning retire from football, leaving only the “what if ’s” to be pondered by the NFL faithful?

This seems to be the most interesting storyline in the upcoming 2012 NFL offseason, but if I were the owner of the Indianapolis Colts and I found out Manning will be able to play this year, I would trade my Andrew Luck pick for all it’s worth and ride out Manning’s career with another first round signal caller waiting in the shadows. I just believe the Colts parting ways with Manning will be the worst decision this franchise could possibly make for the man who built the image this team has gained and fans have adored for so long. Manning has proved he can win with this team, and the Colts have proved they can’t win without him. I do agree the Colts must move forward, but cutting the face of this franchise and the NFL is not the way to do it. Especially when all their hope is invested in a player that has never taken an NFL snap.

The previous contractor, L&W Construction, which built the pool, was unavailable for consultation due to bankruptcy.

As a result, ISU is currently looking for another pool contractor to advise them on the matter.

An alternative scheduled has been developed with the Arena Pool for students wishing to engage in aquatic activities. Students looking to engage in aquatic recreation will have the Arena Pool in the HHS building located on 5th street. Student Recreation Center currently has in place a schedule for the upcoming week available.

“The challenge will be that pool is just a six lane rectangular pool,” Lentz said. “There will be a lot of sharing between lap swimmers and recreational swimmers.”

Lentz said the pool schedule will not be identical to this schedule and the hot tub and sauna will be unavailable.

ISU Physical Education graduate student Bridgett Campbell said the closure of the pool at the Student Recreation Center is impacting her workouts a little but she is coping.

“Monday this place [Arena pool] was a madhouse at lunch time,” Campbell said. “It was just totally packed and just because they don’t have all the lane lines it made it a little bit kind of clustered when you were trying to swim.”

The entrance to the Arena Pool is through the showers of the men’s and women’s locker rooms.

The swim schedule for the upcoming week is available on the Indiana State University Recreation Center website at http://www.indstate.edu/recsport/index.htm. For more information about pool hours and classes contact Chelsea Carlen at (812) 237 8974 or her email address [email protected].
