Health Center offers students free care, pharmacy, women’s center Clinic looks to add 5th doctor Fall Semester after receiving permission ASHLEE HAYES STAFF REPORTER | amhayes2@bsu.edu College is a time of little sleep, and after a few all-nighters those cold and flu symptoms will creep up. That’s why it is important to know where Ball State’s Student Health Center is. “It’s good for people to know where we are and what our hours are before they get sick and really need us,” said Kent Bullis, medical director of the Health Center. The Health Center is on campus, open from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on weekdays, except Tuesday and Thursday, when it is open until 6:30 p.m.
There are four doctors and three nurse practitioners at the health center. Bullis said the Health Center has recently received permission to hire on another doctor, so they are hoping to have five doctors by Fall Semester. It is comprised of a walk-in clinic, pharmacy, women’s center, health education center and physical therapy unit for students. It is “basically free health care” said Suzanne Scheetz, a sophomore advertising and public relations major. Scheetz said she has had an overall good experience with the Health Center. The Health Center exists for students to get easy access to health care when they’re away from home. “Don’t be afraid to use the Health Center” Scheetz said. “It’s different and not what you’re used to, but it’s helpful.” Students can call and make appointments. The average wait time is nor-

the morning,” Bullis said. “Mondays are usually the busiest days, so if you can avoid Mondays, that’s a good thing.” On a normal day the Health Center sees around 180 patients. Bullis said students should bring prescription bottles and insurance information. The Health Center fee does not cover prescriptions, so having the insurance information ready is helpful. The Health Center also has its own pharmacy, but prescriptions can be taken to other pharmacies if that is more convenient. IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital is also close to campus and is another option for students. “If someone is having abdominal pain or trouble breathing [they should go to the hospital],” Bullis said. “We don’t carry the kind of narcotic prescriptions that someone with chronic pain would need, but most everything else we would have.”

TIPS TO STAYING HEALTHY IN COLLEGE PICKED BY THE STAFF AT THE DAILY NEWS
1. Look out for Little Debbie, one Cosmic Brownie pack holds 500 calories 2. Make your own salad at the Spinning Salad in Woodworth Complex 3. Take the stairs and avoid the elevator 4. Eat fresh foods in the dining halls and avoid frozen meals made in your room 5. Just because you have $7.75 to spend on dinner does not mean you should spend the excess money on honey buns and brownies 6. Bring your bike from home and use it, not just for transportation to and from class 7. Recognize that most students gain weight when they move away from home 8. Try not to use stress as an excuse to overeat 9. Spend time at the Student Recreation and Wellness Center. The facilities are too nice not to take advantage of. 10. Get out and run. Campus will be pretty in the fall. Enjoy the scenery, learn your way around and burn extra calories in the process. 11. Join a dance team: Zumba at the Rec Center 12. Get involved in a sport 13. Don’t ride the bus unless it is raining, no matter how tempting 14. Play frisbee, volleyball or basketball on campus. 15. Use an app to track your calorie intake as well as movement around campus and use that to set up a plan to lower that intake.

JORDAN HUFFER I SHOOT PEOPLE FOR FUN
I remember the year that you were born. I know that may sound like a creepy thing to say, but it’s the truth. I remember what 1995 was like. I’m an independent, or non traditional student — a 25-year-old and still in college with the rest of you. While most people go to college the fall after they graduate high school, I decided to take a six-year break before I continued my education. I feel like because of this age difference, and the fact that I have already been in the “adult world,” I have an outlook on higher education that is different from most. It basically is to take your time, to go at your own pace. Don’t force yourself into something you are not ready for. I’ve known several people who enter college before they are ready, and as a result they can’t even make it though a semester. Then, when they try to get back into school later, they run into issues with financial aid or poor grades. I always feel like these people could have benefited from just taking some time before they went back to school, or avoiding the urge to take on so many things when they first start out. It’s hard to know when you are really ready to continue your education. There can be several factors that lead to this choice, including commitment to your schooling, how sure you are about your major and, most importantly, maturity. Maturity plays a huge role in how ready you are for school. I’m not talking necessarily about being immature, just GETTING TO KNOW: not being in the right mind set to devote yourself fully to your education. I know Q: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE MOVIE? with me, personally, at age A: P robaby ‘The Royal 18 I was not really to comTenenbaums’ It’s quirky, it’s fun, mit to anything other then it’s emotional, it’s awesome. new clothing and designer Q: WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE T.V. make-up, so an attempt at SHOW? education would have been A: A vatar.

That’s not a good place to be, especially when you are 18. So take your time. Only commit to what you know you can do, but at the same time challenge yourself to try new things. That’s how you will grow and become a better person. It’s a tricky thing to do, but you will eventually find a balance. It’s your life, and you should define it as you see fit — even if that means being a 25-year-old sophomore.

Blackboard to replace other student websites
Inqsit and Gradebook will no longer be used for testing, grades in the fall EMMA KATE FITTES NEWS EDITOR click on the title of the assignment, which have a cumulative grade average | news@bsudailynews.com will take you to a submission page. From listed toward the top and assignStarting in the Fall Semester, Blackboard will become the center for everything course related, replacing Inqsit and Gradebook programs. One site will hold all of student’s class content, grades and online testing. After orientation each student will receive a username and password. We identified the main places students need to be familiar with on the website to be successful after the switch.
MY COURSES
Each course you are enrolled in is linked in this section. After clicking on the class, this holds all of its content information, often including the course syllabus and assignments. Usually at least two semester’s worth of classes are available on the homepage. Some teachers will ask for assignments to be submitted on Blackboard. To do this,
there the assignment can either be entered into the textbox on that page or selected from the browser and uploaded as a document or other file. After clicking submit, a confirmation page allows you to check that you attached the right document. Most tests work the same way. They are listed like assignments on the course’s homepage and are a link to the test. So far, if teachers want to restrict the test to be taken during class time or in a lab, they will be password protected and the password is only provided under those circumstances.
MY GRADES
The grades for each course you are taken are listed in this section. Scroll all the way to the right and click on the letter or dash next to the course. This will take you to the grades listed. Teacher choose how they want to set this section up, but most
ments listed below. This is more convenient for teachers than using a separate site for grades because the gradebook automatically links to the submitted assignments and tests.
ANNOUNCEMENTS
This will list the most recent activity on Blackboard. For example, when teachers post new content or update a due date a reminder will appear. Blackboard is also linked to your Ball State email account, and important activity will be included in an email.

GETTING TO KNOW: MICHAEL BOEHNLEIN
She told me that all I would have to do is sit in her partner’s vacant seat and take notes, and that’s exactly what I did. But after one meeting I was hooked. I had never been in a room surrounded by people from every single hall on campus talking about the school in a way I hadn’t heard before. They wanted to make changes and improve Ball State. My sophomore year I became even more involved in the organization and even more still my junior year. Each year, I learned more about myself by working with a completely different group of people. I quickly became the leader I never thought I could be, and not only is that a skill that’s helped me through college so far, but it will continue to help me throughout my life. And that’s all because I made a conscience decision to meet new people. College is a time to reinvent yourself, and getting involved and meeting new people is the best way to do that. You spend so much of your life surrounded by the same faces and the same ideas, when you get to college it’s your chance to become your own person. You realize that there are so many different kinds of people and ways of thinking out there, that you no longer believe what you once believed and in turn you’re no longer the person you used to be. Use this time to talk to people, learn about new things and find what matters to you.

EVENTS YOU MUST ATTEND
College is about more than just passing classes. Ball State features plenty of events that will distract you from the coursework you are focusing on during the semester. From guest speakers to events sponsored by student organizations, there’s something for everyone. Take a look at the top five events you need to attend during your first year on campus.
AIR JAM – OCT. 10
Students compete in an annual competition in a lip-syncing and dancing competition in John R. Emens Auditorium. Air Jam falls on the Thursday before Homecoming each year. Teams are comprised of groups from Ball State residence halls, Greek life organizations and other campus clubs and organizations. The 2012 AirJam sold out, awarding firstplace trophies to the three categories.
GUEST SPEAKERS — THROUGHOUT THE YEAR As freshman at Ball State, you may have missed the success of some of Ball State’s guest speakers in the last few years. With the help of Ball State alumnus David Letterman, the campus has attracted quality guests, culminating with Oprah Winfrey visiting with Letterman in November. He has also brought MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, Twitter cofounder Biz Stone, CEO of Burberry Angela Ahrendts, author of The Art of Innovation Tom Kelley and newscaster Ted Koppel since 2009. It will be hard to top Oprah, but expect more quality appearances at Ball State.

STUDENT LIFE EMENS AUDITORIUM PERFORMANCES — THROUGHOUT THE YEAR
Similar to the guest speaker series, the artists and performances Ball State has attracted have increased in quality over recent years. Ball State landed Grammy award-winning artist fun. in January and the late legendary country singer George Jones in March for his farewell tour. Not to mention the number of other performers who have graced the stage in the last year, including comedian Brian Regan.
CARNIVAL — APRIL 2014
The Late Nite Carnival is the biggest event of the academic year for Late Nite and is open to students, faculty and friends. The carnival features a variety of rides, games and food and encompasses Ball State’s commuter parking lot C-1. Carnival has survived poor weather in the last couple years, with attendees still willing to brave cooler temperatures.

MCKINLEY MILE — APRIL 2014
Similar to Indiana University’s Little 500 and Purdue’s Grand Prix, the McKinley Mile is a 24-mile race around campus open for student, professional and local cyclist teams. The event also has small chariot races and a onemile race, the Benny Dash, for fun. Last year they added a DJ and bouncy houses for spectators.
MUNCIE GRAS — MARCH 2014
For the over-21 crowd, Muncie Gras embodies the New Orlean’s Mardi Gras festivities. The event has been around since 2001 and has since grown into one of the most anticipated parties in the year. It is coordinated by the Muncie Downtown Development Partnership and features more than just drinking — it also provides different music and games to enjoy.

The Village will look slightly different to returning students due to redevelopment.

The University Square block will open up much more space after redevelopment. Retail areas will be expanded, and 220 apartments will be available. Chase Sorrick, owner of Investment Property Advisors, said in March the company has plans for a multi-million dollar venture in the Village. Ellison, owner of Redbird and Cleo’s, said the temporary location for the bars will be used to introduce a new business when they return to their original locations. “We are going to open a whole new concept of a bar and a restaurant there,” Ellison said. “We’ve toyed with a couple of things that does not exist in the Village.”

QUESTIONS FOR BALL STATE FOOTBALL STEVEN WILLIAMS EDITOR-IN-CHIEF
|
editor@bsudailynews.com
Despite making its first bowl game since 2009 and returning many of its core on the offense, Ball State still will face some hurdles as it looks to win its first bowl game in school history. The Cardinals finished 9-4 in 2012, just coach Pete Lembo’s second season leading Ball State. Here’s four questions Ball State will look to answer in the 2013 season. 1. WILL BALL STATE WIN ITS FIRST EVER BOWL GAME IN 2013? The Cardinals have been to six bowl games in its history but have lost each one. Additionally, only one of those six was even a competitive game. Even the 2008 team that went undefeated in the regular season under former coach Brady Hoke lost its Bowl game handily. Ball State is going to need to improve its defense if it wants to earn its first ever bowl victory. The Cardinals have given up an average of 45 points in its three bowl games since 2008.
2. WHEN DOES COACH PETE LEMBO LEAVE?
DN FILE PHOTO BOBBY ELLIS
It’s really not a matter of if, but when. Ball State coach Pete Lembo’s name has been floating around coaching searches since he turned around a struggling program in just his second year to a 9-4 record. His name was mentioned in the Purdue job before it hired former Kent State coach Darren Hazell after Kent State’s breakout year. Lembo is likely looking for the right opportunity and could follow a similar career arc as Hoke if he doesn’t get blown away by any offers. If Ball State improves on its 9-4 record in 2013, expect athletic director Bill Scholl to be conducting a search for his Lembo’s replacement after losing him to a bigger school.
DN FILE PHOTO JORDAN HUFFER
3. HOW DO YOU REPLACE THE WHOLE OFFENSIVE LINE?
Ball State had one of the most consistent offensive lines in the nation in 2012, largely thanks to its five senior contributors, four of them regular starters. Senior quarterback Keith Wenning went largely untouched in 2012 as he was only sacked 14 times, good for 15th in the nation. Before 2012, Ball State relied largely on its passing game and may be able to survive a more inexperienced line if it can still block well enough to run the ball like it did last season. Expect the offensive line to be the x-factor in 2013.
4. DOES THE DEFENSE MAKE STRIDES
DN FILE PHOTO BOBBY ELLIS
In 2012, the offense was playing at an incredibly high level. It doesn’t look like it will slow down much in 2013 because of the balance between run and pass. The defense, however, was bittersweet. Statistically, it was a sieve but managed to make some big stops late in games. The Cardinals were 94th in the nation in points allowed at 32 points per game. It lost senior linebackers Travis Freeman, Kenneth Lee and Tony Martin but will get another year of experience for its young secondary. Another year for defensive end Jonathan Newsome could provide a spark too.

TOP 3 MUST-SEE FOOTBALL GAMES DAKOTA CRAWFORD SPORTS EDITOR
|
sports@bsudailynews.com
The 2013 Ball State football team will return 13 starters, including senior quarterback Keith Wenning, senior wide receiver Jamill Smith and junior wide receiver Willie Snead. Last season the Cardinals posted a 9-4 overall record with a 6-2 mark in Mid-American Conference play, earning a trip to the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl in St. Petersburg, Fla. The upcoming season has several enticing matchups. Here are three games that no Ball State fan should miss.
1 2 3
SEPT. 28 – TOLEDO
In 2012, Ball State upset then No. 23 Toledo Rockets in a thrilling game on election night. Junior running back Jahwan Edwards scored the go-ahead touchdown on a 15-yard run with 1:43 remaining in the game. Though the Cardinals led 24-17 in the third quarter, Toledo was able to tie and eventually take the lead early in the fourth. After the Rockets jumped ahead 27-24, Ball State tied the game with a field goal with 9:41 remaining in the fourth. Then Edwards heroically stepped in to cap off an 11-play, 86-yard drive, pushing Ball State ahead. The defense ended the game by forcing Toledo to turn the ball over on downs.
OCT. 12 – KENT STATE – HOMECOMING
In last season’s October meeting at Kent State, the Golden Flashes handed Ball State a loss in the closing seconds of a shootout game. The Golden Flashes led the entire game, but with 5:38 left in regulation Ball State would take control for the first time. A 6-yard pass from Wenning to Connor Ryan put the Cardinals ahead 43-42. Kent State responded and went on to kick the game-winning field goal with just five seconds left on the clock. The matchup should be an exciting one in 2013, and fans should be especially fired up for the 2013 Homecoming game.
NOV. 6 - CENTRAL MICHIGAN
This MAC contest is already slated to air on ESPN2 as two of the conference’s top contenders compete at Scheumann Stadium. Though Ball State controlled last season’s game with relative ease, Central Michigan never completely allowed the Cardinals to pull away. A 38-17 advantage with 14:55 remaining quickly turned into a 41-30 game. This year’s matchup will be pivotal in MAC standings, as it is Ball State’s second-to-last home game and its sixth game in league play.

4 QUESTIONS FOR THIS SEASON: BASKETBALL DAKOTA CRAWFORD SPORTS EDITOR
1. WILL WHITFORD PAN OUT?
The Ball State men’s basketball team ended the 2012-13 season with a 15-15 overall record, and an 8-8 mark in Mid-American Conference play. It was the last year of a lack-luster Ball State era, as newly hired Athletic Director Bill Scholl fired head coach Billy Taylor at the close of the season. Now a charismatic James Whitford, hired from the Arizona basketball program, will take the helm. The program’s 19th head coach has already brought in a completely new staff and is making a splash with his recruiting class as well.
2. CAN SENIORS PROVIDE LEADERSHIP?
The team will return seniors Majok Majok and Jesse Berry. Majok averaged 31 minutes per game last season, and will play an important part in the Cardinals’ 2014 campaign. With 321 points, he was the team’s third-leading scorer, and led the team with 295 rebounds. Berry was second on the team with 345 points on the year. Matt Kamieniecki chipped in 20 minutes per game, and was the team’s third-leading rebounder. The seniors will be looked upon to provide a sense of continuity despite the coaching changes.

3. CAN CARDS STEP FORWARD, AGAIN?
The women’s basketball team posted an overall record of 17-16 with a 12-4 mark in Mid-American Conference play. In his first year with the program, head coach Brady Sallee was able to turn things around for Ball State. The season was capped off with an appearance in the WNIT Sweet 16. The season was extremely successful in comparison to seasons past. The team posted identical records of 9-21 overall (4-12 MAC) in both 2009 and 2010.
4. WHO WILL CARRY THE LOAD?
Sophomore guard, Nathalie Fontaine led the team in scoring and rebounding as a freshman with 423 points and 146 rebounds. She shot .471 from the floor, but also turned the ball over a team-high 112 times. Senior Brandy Woody was second on the team with 359 points, and led Ball State with 80 steals on the year. The team grew together through a surprising tournament and regular season run. A mix of young scoring and veteran leadership, will be important moving forward.

4 QUESTIONS FOR THIS SEASON: BASEBALL & SOFTBALL DAKOTA CRAWFORD SPORTS EDITOR
1. WILL MALONEY’S SUCCESS CONTINUE?
The Ball State baseball team re-signed coach Rich Maloney prior to the 2013 season. He had been with the team from 1996-2002. In returning to Ball State, Maloney acquired a team that had won just 29 games in 2011 and 2012 combined. Midway through the 2013 campaign, Ball State had been unable to break the .500 threshold. A 17-19 record, with a 6-9 mark in Mid-American Conference play made it seem as though the Maloney’s return meant little to the team’s overall success. But then things started falling into place. A seven-game win streak led to the Cardinals winning 14-of-18 to end the season. The Cardinals final record of 31-24 was impressive for Maloney’s first year. The question moving forward: Can he repeat?
2. CAN PITCHERS CONTINUE TO GROW?
Sophomore right-hander Scott Baker was named the MAC Pitcher of the Year after a breakout season. Baker’s teambest 2.18 ERA allowed him to accrue a 12-2 record. Baker led the team in appearances, but junior T.J. Weir contributed an increasing amount as the season progressed. Weir took on a double role as a starting pitcher and an important part of the batting rotation. Weir averaged .284 at the plate, and led the team with seven home runs.. If the pair can continue to grow, Ball State’s defense will be well-equipped moving forward.

3. CAN CARDS MAINTAIN POTENT BATS? The Ball State softball team led the Mid-American Conference with a team batting average of .312 in the regular season. Junior Jennifer Gilbert led the MAC with her individual average of .451 at the plate. The successful regular-season campaign earned Gilbert MAC Player of the Year honors. Taylor Rager’s .403 batting average, and 48 RBIs were both second for the Cardinals. Each of these power hitters are entering their senior years, and will need to play like it if Ball State hopes to capture an illusive MAC Tournament Championship in 2014.
4. CAN PITCHERS KEEP BALL STATE BALANCED?
A pair of freshman pitchers, Nicole Steinbach and Kelsey Schifferdecker proved to be a dynamic duo. Steinbach threw a league-best six complete-game shutouts, and owned a teambest 2.19 ERA. Schifferdecker’s ERA of 2.87 and her 61 strikeouts were second on the team. The young pitchers competed at a high level, and look to offer balance for a Ball State team that has lacked pitching prowess in the past.

4 QUESTIONS FOR THIS SEASON: VOLLEYBALL DAKOTA CRAWFORD SPORTS EDITOR
1. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO WIN?
The Ball State men’s volleyball team finished the 20122013 season with a 20-5 overall record and a 9-5 mark in Mid-American Conference play. The Cardinals ranked as high as No. 9 during the season, and finished the year ranked No. 15. Going into the MIVA Tournament, the team had won 12-consecutive matches and appeared to have a great head of steam going into the year’s most important stretch of matches. Ball State advanced to the MIVA semifinals before falling to No. 12 Loyola, who they had defeated just one week earlier.
2. CAN BALL STATE REPLACE ITS SENIORS?
The Cardinals will return seniors Matt Leske and Kevin Owens. Leske was Ball State’s top blocking player with 133 total blocks. Owens led the team with 94 sets played and was second with 125 total blocks. The Cardinals will lose Greg Herceg and Tommy Rouse. Both played more than 90 sets on the season. Herceg was the team’s leader in kills, and Rouse had more digs than any other Ball State player with 272 on the year.

3. CAN THE TEAM STAY HEALTHY?
The team struggled to stay healthy in 2012. Marquita Marshall suffered a torn ACL early in the year. Lauren Grant, who was viewed as a key player in the preseason, missed the end of the season to an arm injury. Other key players like Jacqui Seidel and Kylee Baker missed time as well. Though frequent injuries kept the team from its full potential, a healthy roster in 2013 would likely result in success similar to that of two years ago.
4. WHO WILL REPLACE KARA BATES? Though it was rare, in the event that Bates did not perform at her typically high level, the Cardinals struggled as a team. Bates became a go-to player at the outside hitter position for Ball State in 2012. She led the team with 3.59 kills per set and added 248 digs on the year. One player that fill in for Bates is junior transfer student Alex Fuelling. She was a redshirt during her sophomore year and will be eligible for Ball State in 2013.
