YESTERYEAR: Carlton Theater by Pat Sides
This photo was taken in late 1959, when the Carlton Theater at 216 Main Street was about to be razed to make room for a parking lot. The theater had opened with fanfare on Christmas day in 1937. A newspaper article noted the building’s “strikingly beautiful and daring front,†which was composed of polished black glass and highlighted with red and gold, colors that matched the lavish lobby. The Carlton opened during the Great Depression, when at least ten other theaters were operating in Evansville. Film historians have argued that this dreary era created the demand for films, which enabled audiences to temporarily forget their worries and gave rise to the “Golden Age†of Hollywood.
Wy Named Editor In Chief For USI Student Newspaper
The University of Southern Indiana’s Student Publications Committee has selected Gabi Wy as editor in chief of USI’s student newspaper, The Shield, for the 2017-18 academic year. She will replace current editor, Sarah Loesch.
Wy ‘18, from Newburgh, Indiana, is majoring in journalism and criminal justice studies. She currently serves as features editor at The Shield, where she has worked since 2015. She also serves as an intern at the Evansville Courier & Press, where she covers breaking news and features.
Wy, who began working with The Shield as the News Editor in her freshman year, looks forward to the opportunity to establish the importance of journalism more than ever. “I hope to continue to be an uplifting presence in the newsroom as the next editor-in-chief,†she said.
“I would not have gotten so quickly and so deeply involved at The Shield if someone had not taken the time to introduce themselves and let me know what The Shield was, so I would like to be that bridge for other people.â€
Wy named several areas she would like to emphasize during her time as editor, including recruitment of new Shield staff, better pre-planning for stories and a more robust presence on social media. “Social media is now a primary way students and America’s population are consuming their news, and we need to be mindful of that and utilize the accounts we have,†she said.
In a written recommendation, Philip Marcelo, a reporter for the The Associated Press said of Wy, “I have no doubt she has what it takes to lead the paper and hold her peers to the highest journalistic standards.â€
Applications for positions at The Shield are available online or in The Shield’s office. To get involved, call 812-465-1682, or visit the office in the lower level of University Center East, Room 227.
Government Agencies Collaborate on Sexual Predator Video Release
Today the Indiana Department of Education, the Indiana State Police, and the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of Indiana announced the release of an impactful training video designed to educate and inform school leaders and staff about sexual abuse.
The video will be distributed by the Indiana Department of Education to all Indiana school corporations, encouraging them to share with all members of their staff.
“Keeping Indiana’s students safe is a top priority,†said Indiana State Superintendent of Public Instruction Dr. Jennifer McCormick. “Our goal is that every teacher, administrator, and coach in Indiana sees this video and is then better equipped to identify dangerous behavior patterns that may put students at risk. This powerful video is one way to get the message to those who can help identify and stop this behavior.â€
“Protecting innocent children remains a top priority of this office,†said United States Attorney Josh Minkler.  “We prefer to protect them through prevention and education but if not, sexual predators will face the hammer of federal prosecution.â€
Indiana State Police Superintendent Doug Carter said, “Parents, as well as elementary to high school age youth, expect teachers to be role models and mentors.†Carter continued, “Administrators and teachers need to know and recognize signs of child exploitation and what action to take when such abuse may be occurring; this video provides the guidance needed to address such circumstances.â€

Ivy Tech Community College Evansville Nursing Program Ranked 2nd in the State
Ivy Tech Community College’s Evansville campus was recently ranked 2nd in Indiana as a best nursing program by registerednursing.org. The Associate in Nursing graduates from this campus over 2011-2014 scored an average of 97.17 when taking the RN licensing exam.
“We are so proud of the success of our students,†said Ivy Tech Evansville Chancellor Jonathan Weinzapfel. “The pass rates here in Evansville indicate the high quality of our programs and graduates, and the high demand for these graduates in area hospitals and other health-related facilities proves the success of the preparation our students receive.”
The 2nd place ranking is made by examining the NCLEX-RN licensing pass rates. According to registerednursing.org’s website, NCLEX-RN exam pass rates for all RN programs were collected for five years, 2011-2014, if available.
- Once non-qualifying programs were filtered out, pass rates were analyzed and were averaged together and weighted by the recency of the exam.
- If a school’s overall pass rate was the same as another school, additional characteristics were considered like the number of students taking the exam, and the number of years of exam data available.
At Ivy Tech, the Associate of Science in Nursing (ASN) degree can be completed in two years once a student is admitted into the program. Individualized tutoring and mentoring is provided by Ivy Tech faculty, and graduates are consistently in high demand throughout the state. After completing their ASN, graduates are qualified to work in hospitals, nursing and residential care facilities, home health care, physician offices, schools and health departments. Or, graduates who successfully pass the NCLEX-RN, may also continue their education by transferring to a four year university where they can enter BSN or MSN programs to earn bachelor’s or master’s degrees in nursing. Ivy Tech has over 20 transfer partner colleges and universities for its graduates to choose from.
Dean of Ivy Tech Evansville School of Nursing Gail Lindsay, said the faculty at Ivy Tech Evansville is unmatched in their dedication to the students. “Every day I see students and faculty who are working together to help the student be successful. Many of our students come to us with life challenges they are overcoming and still, they bring everything they have to the table and obviously, as the pass rates show, work to reach their end goal.â€
In Indiana, 55 schools were analyzed for all five years, with 20 being ranked. Only 8 other states in the nation had more schools ranked than in I
