Pi Kappa Alpha to return in Spring 2014 By CIDNIE CYDNEYBREWINGTON Staff Writer
Alumni of the Eta Tau Chapter of the Pi Kappa Alpha Fraternity (PIKE) plan to re-colonize by Spring 2014 after their chapter was closed in January 2010 due to an accumulation of $7,286.12 in debt to the national headquarters. Gregory Parker, media
contact for the Eta Tau Alumni Association, explained the reason for the debt as “a numbers game.” “House numbers got so small and the debt was getting too big. They are good guys; there are not enough of them,” Parker said. To re-colonize means before the Eta Tau chapter can re-establish, they must go through a trial period to
make sure national standards are upheld. “Then they can be established as a PIKE. Nothing is guaranteed, everything is earned,” said President of the Eta Tau Alumni Association, Luke Yaeger. Forty years worth of alumni are backing the re-colonization by forming committees to raise money and organize. “The alumni
are ready and active. We’ve been running and gunning ever since,” said Bill Gregoricus, first president of the fraternity before it became a chapter. Contrary to rumors, the Eta Tau Chapter was not suspended by the national organization in January 2010. The alumni closed the chapter themselves with the full intention of
re-colonization. “Closing the chapter was a strategic decision that the [Eta Tau] Alumni Association made. We decided that a temporary discontinuance of operations was in the best long term interest,” Yaeger said. “It’s good to have a lay-off. It gets rid of the stigmas. [It’s] a fresh start,” Parker said. “Even though we are silent,
we are not dead.” “[We want to] silence [the rumor], reorganize, and come back strong,” the first president of the established Eta Tau Chapter, Tom Mik said. TAS

Fraternity and sorority recruitment on the rise By BRIAN BIGELOW Assistant News Editor
Almost 5 percent of APSU students are members of a fraternity or sorority. APSU is home to 10 fraternities and six sororities, not including greek-lettered academic organizations on campus. Each fraternity and sorority is governed by a council and overseen by a corresponding national organization. These include the Pan-Hellenic (PC), Interfraternity (IFC), and National Pan-Hellenic (NPHC) councils. “Most [new members] are freshmen for IFC and PC organizations, but most NPHC organizations traditionally do not take students classified by credit hours as freshmen,” said Brianna Lombardozzi, the

APSU Coordinator of Greek Life. “For Fall 2010, 33 percent of new members were classified as a sophomore or higher based on their earned credit hours.” In general, fraternities and sororities receive the most new recruits during the fall semester. Recruitment numbers tend to drop during the fall from around 150 new Greek members to 50 during the spring. According to the fraternity and sorority academic reports for each semester, there have been more female undergraduate students enrolled in APSU during every semester since spring 2007, sometimes exceeding the number of male students by more than a thousand. But there have been more fraternity members than

Students have problems with D2L By SHERRI TIDWELL Guest Writer
Some APSU students are currently unable to access online classes through the link provided by APSU OneStop – causing them to fall behind in the first few weeks of school. Not knowing why they cannot log into D2L or how to log in directly (rather than through OneStop) many students have missed class work and deadlines. “When I first start a semester,” said Jamie Salley, a senior sociology major, “I’m always nervous about whether or not I picked the right classes or if I’ve taken on too much at once. When I tried to log into D2L and was unable to for several days, I became even more frustrated.” The synchronization between OneStop and D2L was disrupted by

APSU Provost Tristan Denley said on Friday that he will send an e-mail letting the faculty know about the broken link so they may be aware if students say they have this problem. “As far as making exceptions (for missed work), I would very much hope [the professors] would,” Denly said, in regard to teachers granting extensions for missed deadlines due to the broken link.

Republican Smith introduces bill to redefine rape
Staff Writer
Abortion is always a heated subject. With opposing sides unwilling to budge this hot issue, we find ourselves truly in the line of danger. As a college student, I rarely involve myself in politics unless absolutely necessary, and I often don’t have time to watch hours of C-SPAN. However, I am obligated to bring you news as it affects you.

According to H.R.3, an extension of the Hyde Amendment, which only allows tax payer dollars to be used for abortions in the case of rape, incest or maternal death, it will change the definition of rape to only include forcible rape.”
Last semester I wrote an article about my personal experience with rape. I had many people come up to me afterward and share their story with
me. I found out quickly that even close friends had taken a walk in my shoes. I learned earlier this month an abortion bill introduced by New Jersey U.S. Representative Chris Smith (R), and backed by an astonishing 173 House members, has a provision that will redefine the conventional definition of rape. According to H.R.3, an extension of the Hyde Amendment, which only allows taxpayer dollars to be used for abortions in the case of rape, incest or danger of maternal death. It will change the definition of rape to only include forcible rape
(www.govtrack.us). This bill will completely void date rape, druginduced rape, and statutory rape. If a woman is drugged or raped and has no bruises or signs of an altercation, she will not be defined as a rape victim. If this bill is passed, a rapist will essentially have to beat the defiance out of the victim in order for taxpayer funds to aid the victim. Online petitions are circulating, especially at www.moveon.org, which is at the forefront of peoples’ opposition of this bill. I plead to all of you, dear readers, to sign a petition, tell your friends, write your state representative
and do anything and everything it takes to bring down this bill. If you live in Clarksville, you can write Representative Joe Pitts (ep.joe.pitts@ capitol.tn.gov), and ask him to consider you, your wife, girlfriend, mother, daughter or sister when he votes on this bill. Many will dismiss this article and simply assume something as devastating as rape will never happen to them or their loved ones, but with statistics showing one out of every six women will be the victim of an attempted or completed rape (www. rainn.org), the threat is very real.

circulate a petition for the removal of Chick-fil-A as an on-campus vendor on the grounds they support organizations with anti-gay marriage agendas. The website-based petition gained 13,720 signatures after several stories surfaced, noting “the restaurant’s deep connections to anti-gay organizations like Focus on the Family, the National Organization for Marriage, Exodus International, and the Pennsylvania Family Institute.” The donation of food items to a meeting for the Pennsylvania Family Institute happened to be the red flag that set bloggers and other gay-marriage advocates on a crusade. Chick-fil-A is a notoriously religious company, well known for their support of family and relationship building and even closing on Sundays for church purposes. But students at IUSB feel
the company has taken this support too far, alienating LGBT students and any of those that sympathize with the LGBT movement for equality. The petition resulted in the suspension of Chickfil-A as an on-campus food vendor and has since spurred other universities to do the same. The PR Newswire website published the official statement of Dan Cathy, COO of family-run business Chickfil-A, in which he defends the actions of his franchise. “We have no agenda against anyone,” Cathy said.“While my family and I believe in the Biblical definition of marriage, we love and respect anyone who disagrees.” Cyber commentators have had their say on networking sites such as Twitter and Facebook.

to your customers, we support your family values and know that you mean no ill-will to those with other opinions.” While opponents have left comments such as,“Never again will I enjoy your spicy chicken sandwich.” But the controversy has not yet appeared on the campus of APSU. So here I stand, bringing it to the eyes of The All State readers. Chick-fil-A has been accused of supporting organizations that shun the idea of gay marriage. Evidence has been gathered; it can be found nearly anywhere, and primarily in this article. We can choose to ignore it or we can choose our stance. We are the reformers of the world. This is a call to arms — not to petition, nor to protest or even blog. This is a charge for students of APSU to be aware, to gather knowledge and to take a stand. TAS

SOARE seeks to gain student voting majority on Sustainable Campus Fee Committee By GREGORY JONES Guest Writter
Since 2007 every student at APSU has been billed $10 per semester along with tuition to contribute to the Sustainable Campus Fee (SCF). This fee was created in response to a 2006 referendum that indicated 64.30 percent of the student body was in favor of APSU increasing its energy efficiency and producing or purchasing renewable energy to offset the environmental and human health hazards posed by burning fossil fuels — the university’s chief source of energy. To manage and administer the SCF, the Sustainable Campus Fee
Committee (SCFC) was created, composed of both student and faculty members. Proposals highlighting renewable energy, energy efficiency or sustainability are submitted to the committee by students and faculty for consideration. APSU is one of many universities in Tennessee with similar committees. MTSU, UT, TTU and ETSU also have such committees. Unlike some of these other institutions, there is a somewhat inconsistent manner in which the funds are accumulated and the manner in which they are allocated at APSU. This does not necessarily mean the funds
are being used for purposes other than originally intended when the SCF was created, but rather there is an inconsistency between who is supplying the funds and who is distributing the funds. The Tennessee Board of Regents Guideline B-065 explains the committee shall be “comprised of an appropriate ratio of students, faculty and staff.” Until a university forms a precise definition, the ambiguous use of the word “appropriate” may be mistaken, thus the students may be misrepresented in deciding how to allocate their own sustainable fund. According to APSU’s August 2010 report of Standing
Committees, Advisory Committees and Councils, the ratio is defined as four voting students, two voting faculty members, one voting staff member, a student affairs representative and a committee chair (manager of environmental health and safety). The Students Organized to Advance Renewable Energy (SOARE) has developed a proposal thatwill reform APSU’s current guidelines for the SCFC. Under the model of other universities across Tennessee, SOARE will recommend students possess a four to one voting majority on the SCFC, with other faculty and staff members holding advisory
positions. Additionally, the chairperson shall be appointed from a department or position that does not possess a direct or foreseeable ability to use SCF funds beyond the intended use for sustainable campus projects or programs. We are interested in student feedback about this reform and urge any compelled students to issue responses about this change by contacting the university, provide comments to The All State referencing this letter, visit with SOARE at our weekly Tuesday meetings at 4 p.m. in MUC 308 or attend SCFC meetings, which are open to the APSU community.

b e w r r r ies t S Strawberries have a history of medical uses. The ancient Romans used them to alleviate symptoms of fainting, kidney stones, inflammation, diseases of the blood, liver and spleen, throat infections, bad breath, attacks of gout, melancholy and fever.
Strawberries are the only berry with seeds on the outside. On average, a strawberry has 200 seeds.
Strawberries are a symbol of perfection and love. Folklore says if you split a double strawberry in half and share it with a member of the opposite sex, you’ll soon fall in love. Medieval stonemasons carved strawberry designs on altars and around the tops of pillars in sacred places such as churches, as a symbol of perfection.
Strawberries are grown in every state of the Union. California has 23,000 acres of strawberries planted each year producing approximately one billion strawberries.

80TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE ALL STATE
1930s standards for ‘news’ remain By CIDNIE SYDNEY-BREWINGTON Staff Writer
To celebrate the 80th Anniversary of The All State, Marlon Scott and I will be sharing a tidbit of information about The All State every other week for the next year. For those of you who read the last article, you now know how TAS got its name and who came together to make the first issue. But now you may be thinking, “Well, that’s cool. But what did the first issue cover? What was the news in 1930?” In the last article, Scott wrote, “The front page was all text, divided into five columns. One of the first stories was about its own creation headlined “All State Staff Named.” This is true, the earliest newspapers very seldom used pictures, and if they did, they were black-and-white. But this particular issue had no pictures at all — not even the advertisements had pictures. Instead the advertisements were simplistic; just boxes with words of
various sizes designed to catch the eye. The headline of the top news story for this issue reads, in bold black block letters, “Claxton Hailed President.” But there is no article to go along with that headline. Instead, underneath, another headline reads in smaller letters, “Faculty and Student Body Welcome Him In Exercises.” The “exercises” spoken of was the ceremony in which this second president was received by the students, faculty, and staff. The rest of the front page consists of five more main stories, covering a pep rally, a theatre performance, the result of a weekend football game, the start of women’s basketball practice and, as Scott wrote in the last article, the origins of TAS. There are also six shorter stories on the front page ranging from All State subscriptions, to student government, to more sports. The second and fourth pages of this first issue were continuations of the stories from the front page. The third page served as a sports page.

Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. to speak at Unity Celebration By RAVEN JACKSON Staff Writer
On Wednesday, Feb. 9, an awe-inspiring man and fierce environmental defender will give the keynote speech for the annual Student Affairs Unity Celebration. Robert F. Kennedy Jr. will speak at the Memorial Health Gym at 7 p.m. on the topic “Our environmental destiny.” The event is free and open to the public. “The annual Student Affairs Unity Celebration is a campus wide event that provides the opportunity for students, faculty and staff to come together and hear about various social issues affecting today’s society and to bring awareness and thought to
these issues,” said Tammy Bryant, director of student affairs programs and services. Kennedy was chosen for his dedication to environmental conservation. “The attempt is made each year to select a speaker with a bit of a different message for our audience. Environmental issues are vast and affect citizens every day. On campus there have been many recent changes implemented in an effort to be environmentally friendly and promote green initiatives on campus,” Bryant said. Kennedy was named one of Time Magazine’s “Heroes for the Planet,” after his victory in assisting Riverkeeper, New York’s environmental clean water
advocacy group founded in 1966, spear head the fight to restore the Hudson River. “Mr. Kennedy has a reputation as a defender of the environment through legal and other efforts, and he has spent a great deal of time and energy in combating threats to the environment. He is also a clinical professor and supervising attorney at Pace University School of Law’s Environmental Litigation Clinic,” Bryant said. Following the speech, students may pose questions to Kennedy. There will also be a book signing following the keynote where books will be available for purchase as well. “There is no better place than a college campus to hear diverse viewpoints and learn
about many different subjects. The Unity Celebration is just one of these events, and my goal is that the members of our campus community will hear the speaker’s message and experience, think about these issues, and determine what it means for them individually.” “By bringing the speakers to our campus, many more students, faculty, staff, families, and community members have the opportunity to hear and learn about these issues,” Bryant said. Due to security, no bags or backpacks will be permitted inside the Memorial Health Building during the speech. For more information on the event contact Student Affairs at (931) 221-7341. TAS

Packers ‘steel’ Super Bowl XLV victory Marlon Scott
Senior Staff Writer
Since the teams were determined for Super Bowl XLV on Sunday, Jan. 23, the matchup of the Pittsburgh Steelers against the Green Bay Packers had been analyzed from every conceivable angle. Finally, the clock was striking 5:30 p.m. Central Standard Time on Sunday, Feb. 6. I, like the reported 162.9 million other home viewers, was armed with a plate full of tasty food with no nutritional value ready for the kick off of the game. Although I was not wearing black and yellow, I was rooting for the Steelers to win in a close game. 11:05 first quarter: Steelers won the coin toss, but as expected, neither scored on their opening drives. These two defenses were too good to give up points early and I would have been surprised to see any trick plays by the offenses. 5:56 first quarter: Packers offense in Steeler’s territory. Looks like they might score first. Cameras show Alex Rodriguez chilling in his suite with his date. He is the man. I wish Cameron Diaz was feeding me at the Super Bowl. Probably make these wings taste even better. 3:44 first quarter: The Packers score first. Jordy Nelson catches a 29-yard touchdown to cap off a nine play, 80-yard drive. 3:22 first quarter: The Steelers make the first turnover of the game. The Packers’ lead jumps to 14-0. Nick Collins intercepts Roethlisberger’s pass, dashes 37 yards and dives into the end zone. End of the first quarter: Big Ben converts a first down. One second he looks hurt, the next, he is scrambling for the first down. The Steelers are down, but not out. 11:08 second quarter: The Packers’ defense clamps down and the Steelers are forced to settle for a field goal. The score is 14-3 and I along with many Steelers fans are starting to lose our appetite. 4:28 second quarter: Roethlisberger threw another interception. Plenty of time left in the half for Green Bay to increase their lead. 2:24 second quarter: Aaron Rodgers makes his second touchdown pass to Greg Jennings. I can not believe the Steelers are down 21-3. Now I am not hungry, but the spicy wings give me an excuse for the tears. 0:39 second quarter: Finally, something to cheer about. Roethlisberger and Hines Ward almost single-handedly drive 77 yards to score before halftime. Ward flashes his infamous smile, but his team is still behind 21-10. Plus, Packers get the ball to start the second half. Halftime: Two turnovers are the reason the Packers are leading 21-10. Charles Woodson was out for the game with a broken collarbone. Maybe the Steelers offense can take
advantage of his absence. However, it won’t matter if the defense does not stop Rodgers. 10:19 third quarter: These are the Steelers I expected to see. The defense makes the stop. Then the offense runs the ball. Mendenhall and Moore ran over the Packers defense. Mendenhall makes the last 8-yard run to the end zone to bring the Steelers within four points, 17-21. 9:00 third quarter: The Steelers are gaining momentum. The defense made another stop and gave the offense a chance to take the lead. 4:29 third quarter: Green Bay defense stops Steelers at the edge of field goal range. Suisham missed the 52-yard field goal attempt. The Packers hold on to the lead and keep everyone on the edge of their seats. End of the third quarter: One quarter of football left in Super Bowl XLV with only four points separating the two teams. Its time for clutch players to make clutch plays. Also last chance for a break. Go to the bathroom, refill the cup and grab the last chicken wing. 14:50 fourth quarter: Clay Matthews forces a Mendenhall fumble. The Packers recover with good field position. That may have been the play of the game. 11:57 fourth quarter: It only took three minutes before

Three former greats inducted into APSU Hall of Fame APSU Sports Information Three former Austin Peay State University greats were inducted into University’s Athletics Hall of Fame, Saturday morning. Adrian Henning, a twotime first-team All-Ohio Valley Conference forward who led the Austin Peay State University men’s basketball team to back-toback league championships and a 2003, NCAA tournament appearance Paige Smith, who helped lead the Lady Govs basketball team to a trio of NCAA tournaments also during the early part of this decade, and Ryan Bennett, one of the best two-way catchers in APSU history who helped lead the Bat Govs to their first NCAA tournament appearance in 1996, were honored Saturday morning during a ceremony in the Dunn Center front lobby. Their respective inductions saw the Austin Peay Athletic Hall of Fame membership grow to 97. Henning, who currently plays professionally in Mexico and all over the world, was unable to attend Saturday morning’s ceremony, but arrived Saturday night to be honored with the other two inductees at halftime of Murray StateAPSU contest. Henning would become part of a four-year senior class at Austin Peay that won 81 games, including a trio of 20-win seasons. Henning, in fact, was the leading scorer (15.5 ppg) on the 2002-03 Governors basketball team
that captured the OVC tourney championship and advanced to the 2003 NCAA tournament against Louisville. The Memphis native ranks 12th all-time in career scoring (1353 points) and 11th in rebounding (661). He is third all-time in blocked shots with 105. His numbers aside, his leaping ability and corresponding dunks were legendary. At the same time Henning was the focal point of the Governors’ success, Smith was enjoying similar glory as a Lady Gov. Smith is Austin Peay’s seventh all-time leading scorer with 1324 points. She also ranks in several other Lady Govs’ categories, including three pointers made (258/2nd), free-throw percentage (.852/2nd), assists (435/3rd), steals (177/7th), minutes played (4144/1st), games played (122/3rd) and games started (119/1st). Smith was a member of the OVC All-Freshman team in 1999-00. The 72 threepointers she made still stand as a Lady Govs’ freshman record as does her .873 free-throw percentage markand a three-time OVC alltournament team member. The Livingston, Tenn. native owns three of the Lady Govs’ Top-10 single-season freethrow percentage marks. Bennett was born to be a catcher. His brother Gary was a minor league catcher with the Philadelphia Phillies (on the way to a doubledigit season major league career) when Ryan arrived in
Clarksville. As a junior, he earned team most valuable player honors and honorable mention All-OVC when he batted a team-best .356-31 points higher than anyone else-while leading the team in RBI (43). He paced the team with 25 extra-base hits, including 17 doubles. He also had just four errors from the catcher’s position, particularly impressive since he was known as someone who was not shy about attempting to pick off runners at both first and second bases. Bennett was consistently good in 1996, earning firstteam All-OVC after being named honorable mention the previous season. He opened that season with an eight-game hitting streak and later had three other nine-game hitting streaks. Despite playing the game’s most taxing position, Bennett ranks seventh all-time in batting average (.339), with his 211 career hits ranking ninth and 54 doubles ranking third. He also is ranked ninth all-time in RBI with 125. He would go onto a sixyear minor league career with the New York Mets and now owns a medical supply business in Austin, Texas. TAS

Rodgers throws his third touchdown, an eight-yard bullet to Jennings. Packers go back up by two scores, 28-17. Three Steeler turnovers turned into three Packer touchdowns. 7:34 fourth quarter: Break out the terrible towels. Roethlisberger threads a needle 25 yards to Mike Wallace for a touchdown. Then a great play call to make the two-point conversion. It is a three-point game. At this point everyone had their excuse to miss work on Monday, Feb. 7, ready. 2:07 fourth quarter: Packers forced to settle for a 23-yard field goal. The stage was set. After the kickoff, the Steelers started a drive on their own 13 yard line behind by six points (25-31), with one timeout and less than two minutes remaining in the game. This is why people love football. 0:56 fourth quarter: Roethlisberger receives the snap in the shotgun formation on fourth down and five. He throws to Mike Wallace and the ball falls incomplete. The Steelers’ chance at the Lombardi trophy falls incomplete as well. A single chip falls to the ground unheard as cheers erupt from Green Bay fans around the world. The Packers defeated the Steelers in Super Bowl XLV, 31-25. Rodgers was named MVP. He completed 24-of-39 passes for 304 yards and three touchdowns. TAS

Lady Govs win battle against Murray By MARLON SCOTT Senior Staff Writer
The Lady Govs earned two home victories in a row when they defeated Ohio Valley Conference rival Murray State, 69-59, Saturday, Feb. 5. The Lady Govs came out hot and kept the Racers in their rear view mirror the entire first half. The Racers made some pushes, but were unable to make the final pass before the finish line. “It was a game of runs. We made some good runs, Murray made some good runs; Murray is a tremendous team,” said head coach Carrie Daniels. “I don’t think their record at all shows the type of team that they are. You have got to give them a lot of credit.” “We knew they weren’t going to go anywhere, they were going to give us a tough game and give us all we that
can handle,” Daniels said. That’s exactly what they did. Five Lady Govs scored double-digit points. Junior guard Whitney Hanley led the team with 19 points and seven rebounds. Junior center Jasmine Rayner and sophomore forward Meghan Bussabarger both scored 12 points. Seniors Dalila Thomas and Brooke Faulkner added 10 points each. Mariah Robinson led the Racers with 17 points. Jessica Winfrey was one rebound away from a double-double with 16 points and nine rebounds. The Lady Govs shot 40 percent (12-of-30) from the field and 100 percent (6-of6) from the free throw line in the first half. They led by as much as 12 points and went into halftime ahead by five, 33-28.
However, Mallory Schwab opened up the second half with back-to-back threepointers that gave the Racers their first lead of the game, 34-33. They would regain the lead again with 13:29 remaining in the game, 43-41, but it was short lived.
“Not to take anything away from them, but we didn’t play our best tonight.” Down 24-22 at halftime, the Govs watched Murray State race on a 20-8 run the first eight minutes and 43 seconds of the second half. The run put the Racers up 48-30. We knew that Isaiah Canaan could stick the ball in the basket and he had a big half and that didn’t help our cause either,” said Loos. The Govs countered with a 19-8 run to cut the Murray State lead to 56-49 with 2:18 left in the game. However, the Govs could not completely close the gap. Murray State closed out the game on an 11-9 final run to take the victory. Murray State dominated
the offensive glass 11 to 4. They also scored 18 points on Govs turnovers. “We have trouble scoring in the half court if we don’t turn people over and we didn’t tonight. We can have some trouble scoring and that leads to some of those dry spells,” said Loos. “Four (offensive) rebounds, that isn’t enough, the offensive boards haven’t been our main problem it’s been on defense, surprising.” The Govs did control the paint. They outscored the Racers 36 to 28 in the area led by Will Triggs 15 points and seven rebounds. The Govs shot an ice cold 2-of-13 (15 percent) from the three-point line and 6-of11 from the free throw line. Josh Terry’s 17 points led

Hanley capped off a Lady Govs’ 8-0 run with her own three-pointer. It established a lead that APSU would not relinquish the rest of the game. “I’m very proud of my team for not giving up. I thought that we definitely made plays when we had too.” “Players stepped up. I thought the difference in this game was we attacked.” The win improves the Lady Govs to 9-16, 8-5 OVC. They are currently ranked fourth in the conference with five games remaining in the regular season. They get one week of rest before taking on eighth ranked Tennessee State Saturday, Feb. 12 at home on Dave Loos Court. “We are going to enjoy this. I’m just really proud of them for pulling through.”
