CAMPUS, REJOICE

Ball State classes canceled Wednesday through Thursday morning.

S

tudents’ dreams came true when Ball State announced it would be canceling classes — a rare occurrence that hasn’t happened for five years.

A message sent Wednesday morning from the National Weather Service (NWS) said a wind chill warning would be in effect for several central Indiana cities including Muncie until 1 p.m. Thursday.

Ball State issued an emergency alert early Tuesday closing campus from 7 a.m. Wednesday

until 11 a.m. Thursday because of dangerous subzero temperatures.

Only essential personnel were required to report to campus, with changed hours for testing labs and dining halls.

According to a Ball State press release, Jill Coleman, associate dean of the College of Sciences and Humanities and professor of geography, said temperatures like this are “an unusual but not unheard of occurrence.”

Wind chill, according to the NWS, is “the combination of very cold air and the wind” creating dangerously cold weather. Frostbite can occur quickly and even cause hypothermia or death if precautions are not taken, its website states.

Another NWS warning sent Wednesday said minimum wind chills of 20 to 40 below zero were predicted Wednesday night and could cause frostbite on exposed skin in 10 minutes.

mployees at Paws, Inc., home to Garfield, one of the world’s mostrecognized cats, soon won’t be calling an Albany, Indiana, studio home. After nearly 30 years in its current location, employees are transitioning into a work-from-home model, said Kim Campbell Beasley, Paws, Inc. director of public relations.

The YWCA of Central Indiana in Muncie has already received items, Campbell Beasley said.

Other recipients could include Ball State and Muncie Community Schools, but Campbell Beasley said decisions haven’t been finalized.

“This is a very complex story and in a couple weeks we’re going to have something really cool to tell you, but we can’t go into details because it’s not finalized yet,” said Marc Ransford, Ball State senior media strategist. “I think there’s a Paws Inc. will no longer be housed in a building, instead possibility for some things to come to Ball State the company will continue producing work with its team but we’re not sure ... what it will be.” members collaborating virtually.

GARFIELD Continued from Page 03

The estimated 11 employees still working in the building will be out by June. The decision to close the Albany studio was a financial one, Campbell Beasley said.

“Technology has changed the way we operate our worldwide business,” she said. “Our building and the large campus … were no longer essential to our business. We felt that moving to our workfrom-home business model was the fiscally responsible thing to do.”

Campbell Beasley said Jim Davis, Garfield’s creator and the founder of Paws, Inc., began to redefine the business model roughly a decade ago.

Last year, Davis, a Ball State alumnus, made a decision to move forward with a permanent change. “[He] decided it was time to fully embrace a new way of working — one that relies on people, methods and technologies,” she said.

When you make statements like they’re closing, people think they’re going out of business, Jim’s retiring or whatever and that’s not the case.”

- JIM MANSFIELD, Executive director of the Muncie Visitors Bureau

Changing Times

Paws, Inc., had a reputation as a company where employees came to stay. For example, Campbell Beasley has worked for the company since the early 1980s.

But as employees were aging into retirement, some of the jobs those workers once held were no longer needed in a digital age. Additionally, because the company has been producing Garfield for 40 years, an abundance of art was available for use, Campbell Beasley said.

“We had a ton of resources from our book publishing, from the comic strip, from calendars, so it got to be where we weren’t really needing to create as much new art because we had so much already in our art bank,” she said.

And technological advances have changed the comic industry over the years. The Garfield comic strip went digital eight years ago, so some permanent positions like an airbrush artist and 3D molding artist were no longer needed, Campbell Beasley said.

But when conditions call for someone with special expertise, 3D molding for instance, the company looks to Marvin Porter, a former employee who comes back and works on specific projects.

The Legacy Continues Campbell Beasley stressed that even though

Garfield memorabilia is being sold at the Muncie Visitors Bureau. Jim Mansfield, executive direcotr of the bureau, said it purchased about $10,000 worth of merchandise. MARY EBER, DN soon employees will no longer work from the studio, “Garfield is very strong and alive and well.”

The licensing and/or syndication for Garfield is active in 111 countries and the comic strip is translated into 40 languages. And it’s estimated some 200 million people read the comic strip each day, according to the Garfield website.

But Campbell Beasley said Garfield’s reach extends well beyond a daily comic.

“We’ve got a number of really big projects we’re working on, we’ve got a movie in development, we’ve got a new animated TV series in development. They’re animating it now and it’ll be released in the fall,” Campbell Beasley said.

Additionally, a musical is being licensed around the world. And Paws, Inc. is working with Six Flags Entertainment Corporation on a couple of Garfield children’s areas in China, Campbell Beasley said. One theme park is set to open this year in Zheijang and Six Flags Chongqing is scheduled to open in

2020, according to information provided by Six Flags.

“This is a great opportunity for Garfield to entertain families and children,” said Garfield’s creator, Jim Davis, in a press release about the parks.

“Six Flags and Riverside have an extraordinary project planned and to have our characters featured is an incredible honor.”

Garfield Closer to Home

While Garfield’s international presence grows, local fans can get their fat cat fix at the Muncie Visitors Bureau.

Jim Mansfield, the executive director of the Muncie Visitors Bureau, said the organization purchased about $10,000 worth of merchandise.

“It was a hodgepodge of everything,” he said.

At the visitors bureau, there’s no question about whether Jim Davis contributes to tourism in Muncie. Mansfield knows he does.

“Garfield has been quite instrumental in bringing

05 people into our community and certainly for us going out seeking conferences, conventions, things of that nature, as well as leisure travelers coming in,” he said.

Muncie Visitors Bureau took on the Garfield logo in the early 2000s. It’s a licensee of Paws, Inc., which allows the bureau to use the Garfield logo and access the digital art library of Garfield images.

“Jim Davis and the folks at Paws, Inc. have been very generous to allow us to use the Garfield image as a marketing tool,” Mansfield said.

When people see the Garfield image, “it seems to pique their interest,” he said.

Mansfield has been concerned that people will get the wrong impression when they hear the word “closing.”

“When you make statements like they’re closing, people think they’re going out of business, Jim’s retiring or whatever and that’s not the case,” Mansfield said. “We [Muncie Visitors Bureau] didn’t want to put that out there and have people take the wrong impression, so we’ve just continued to build it up and let people know that we’re very happy to have him part of our plan.”

An attempt to contact Jim Davis via. Paws, Inc. spokeswoman, Campbell Beasley was unsuccessful. However, she emphasized the health of Paws, Inc. “We’re still working hard, as we say, to take care of the cat.”

OTHER INDIANA CLOSURES

Continued from Page 01

The last time classes were canceled was 2014 when a snowstorm dropped a foot of snow and dipped temperatures below zero, according to a Daily News story.

Students missed the first Monday and Tuesday of the spring semester that January and were later told they had to make up the missed days with Saturday and Friday evening classes.

The weekend classes weren’t popular, spurring a petition to be made against them.

Dan Jacobsen, a Ball State telecommunications alumnus, remembers making up his classes the first two Saturdays of February.

“For my TCOM class, I think we came in, watched a film for an hour and wrote a one page essay,” Jacobsen said. “I also had PFW (physical education) swimming at 8 a.m. that semester, so that Saturday class was pretty annoying too.”

Kylie Leonard, a Ball State communications alumna who graduated in 2017, said attendance for the weekend classes was “nonexistent.”

“Most people used that as one of their personal days,” Leonard said. “I remember one of my classes [that] typically had 50 people was down to about six, including me.”

Senior Media Strategist Marc Ransford said there are currently no university-wide plans to make up for lost class time.

One of the last times Muncie saw temperatures and wind chill this low in 2019 was in 1994, according to Daily News archives. There were below zero wind chills on Jan. 18, 1994, and NWS urged people to stay indoors. However, classes weren’t canceled.

Instead, then-President John Worthen said he had received no medical advice that it would be dangerous to have students out on campus.

University of Notre Dame: closed 7 p.m. Tuesday until 1 p.m. Thursday Purdue University: closed Wednesday Indiana University: closed Wednesday Butler University: closed Wednesday until noon Thursday University of Indianapolis: closed Wednesday Indiana Wesleyan University: closed Wednesday and until 1 p.m. Thursday Taylor University: closed 5 p.m. Tuesday until 5 p.m. Thursday Franklin College: closed Wednesday until noon Thursday Martin University: closed Wednesday “This is no threat at all since people ski in weather like this all the time,” he told The Daily News.

According to the report, wind chills were also predicted to range from 15 to 25 degrees below zero, with a wind chill of 46 below zero on the morning of Jan. 19, 1994. Still, classes continued.

Coleman said record low temperatures in Muncie were on Jan. 18, 1994, with minus 29 degree temperatures and wind gusts of 20 miles per hour, creating minus 60 degree temperatures.

Several other Indiana universities also have classes canceled until midday Thursday including the University of Notre Dame, Indiana Wesleyan University, Butler University and Franklin College, with Taylor University being closed until 5 p.m.

Both Purdue University and Indiana University announced closures in the late afternoon Tuesday for their main campuses in West Lafayette and Bloomington, respectively.

‘There’s not a lot of people like him’ Despite his experiences, Steve Bell saw the passion in his students at Ball State.

“I will never forget it,” said 2004 Ball State graduate Tom Kozrowski.

“He said, ‘Thomas, you’re one of the best sports shooters I’ve ever seen.’ I’m getting chills right now just even saying it.”

Throughout his career, Steve Bell, professor emeritus and the first Edmund F. and Virginia B. Ball Endowed Chair in Telecommunications in the College of Communication, Information, and Media (CCIM), was able to both witness history and see the future in his students.

Born Dec. 9, 1935, in Oskaloosa, Iowa, Bell graduated from the Medill School of Journalism

I don’t think there’s a single person on our faculty who didn’t enjoy working with him and wasn’t proud to consider him a colleague.”

- MICHAEL SPILLMAN, Interim chair of the department of telecommunications and lecturer of telecommunications at Northwestern University in 1967 and started working at a radio and television news station.

He then joined ABC Radio News soon after, according to a press release.

Bell was the Hong Kong bureau chief for ABC when he covered the Vietnam War. He also covered various 20th century events including the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert Kennedy; the Watergate break-in; and the Newark (New Jersey) Riots.

“With the level that he was at, with the things he did, with the resume he had, his ego should have been through the roof,” Kozrowski said.

After returning to the United States, he became the news anchor for ABC’s “Good Morning America” until his retirement in 1986.

Bell joined Ball State in 1992 as the endowed chair and later taught in the Department of Telecommunications until his retirement in 2007, according to the press release.

telecommunications, worked with Bell, and said, despite his various accomplishments, he did not come across as pretentious.

“I don’t think there’s a single person on our faculty who didn’t enjoy working with him and wasn’t proud to consider him a colleague,” Spillman said.

Kozrowski said Bell was always willing to help and always made time to answer questions — whether it was after class or in Bell’s office.

Bell also did not turn away from those who said hi to him, and would stop to have a conversation no matter who it was.

He also said Bell spent hours helping to finetune Kozrowski’s portfolio reel, which led to a job offer the morning after Kozrowski sent it to a news organization.

“Anything that I needed from him, he was there,” Kozrowski said.

Despite only meeting him a few times, Paaige Turner, dean of CCIM, said Bell was a “kind,” “gracious” and “supportive” individual.

“He cared so deeply about the department and field of journalism,” Turner said. “He wanted to make sure our department was providing the best education to our journalists.”

Turner added Bell believed in teaching the “ethical, thorough journalism that he actually lived his whole life by.”

Today, Kozrowski is a camera operator and freelancer, and has worked with CBS Sports, the Big 10 Network and ESPN. He said he would not have been where he is now without Bell.

“He wanted to pass his knowledge,” Kozrowski said. “That tells you what kind of man he was.”

BIG LEAGUE POTENTIAL Ball State Baseball will look to rely on its three draft-worthy pitchers for success in 2019.

Zach Piatt Assistant Sports Editor Seven frames cover the east wall of head coach Rich Maloney’s office in the Ball State Student Recreation and Wellness Center. They represent the start of something big.

Pictured are Thomas Howard, Jeff Urban, Larry Bigbie, Bryan Bullington, Luke Hagerty, Brad Snyder and Kolbrin Vitek — every Ball State Cardinal drafted in the first round of the Major League Baseball First-Year Player Draft.

A whole wall dedicated to seven guys.

Maloney coached all but two of those first-rounders during his first stint with the Cardinals from 1996-2002.

The three-time Mid-American Conference Coach of the Year has been back at Ball State’s helm since 2013, and he has seen his players inch closer and closer to becoming another on that wall.

Colin Brockhouse was drafted twice as a pitcher, once in 2016 in the 37th round and again in 2017 in the 24th round. Evan Marquardt followed him in 2018 as he was selected as a pitcher in the 20th round. The bar has been set high, but Maloney believes the pitchers he has now are going to push it even higher.

‘NO BULL’ Ball State Men’s Basketball moves on after rattling loss to No. 18 Buffalo.

Jack Williams Sports Editor While the official Running of the Bulls takes place every July in Spain, there’s another herd 3,700 miles west that has been running for the second-longest home winning streak in the nation.

Tuesday, No. 18 Buffalo (19-2, 7-1 MAC) ran Ball State Men’s Basketball (11-10, 2-6 MAC) right out of the building for the Bulls’ 21st straight win at home and the Cardinals’ third straight loss, 83-59.

While the Cardinals aren’t hanging their heads after facing one of the top teams in the nation, head coach James Whitford said the team has let the simple things get away from them these past few games.

“If we’re going to win at Buffalo, and we’re playing without Brachen, Ish and Trey, we’re not going to do it on a night that we go 2 for 23 from behind the arc,” Whitford said. “I thought we competed and played hard, but I didn’t think that we always played well. The key for us to get there is to do the little things that we were doing three weeks ago.”

Three weeks ago, the Cardinals were coming off a double-overtime loss to Eastern Michigan, sitting 1-1 in conference play and 10-5 overall. Since then, the Cardinals have gone 1-6 in conference matchups, the worst start to conference play since

“No doubt about it. From a talent standpoint, this is the most pitching depth with talent I’ve had since I’ve been back,” Maloney said. “It’s not even close compared to where we were before. We’re getting a lot of pro interest right now like we’ve never had.”

Three starting pitchers in particular are what Maloney described as his “horses” at the top of the rotation: junior John Baker and sophomores Drey Jameson and Kyle Nicolas. Although he said any of the three could be the team’s No. 1, Maloney pegged Baker as the Cardinals’ ace going into the season because of his experience.

Baker earned All-MAC Second Team honors in 2018, striking out 118 batters in 95.1 innings pitched. He also spent that summer as a member of the Cotuit Kettleers in the Cape Cod Baseball League, recognized by college coaches and professional scouts as the best amateur summer league in the country. While there, Baker won three games with a 2.38 ERA, striking out 31 in the process.

the Cardinals’ seven-win season in 2015. Three of the last seven games have been lost by fewer than six points.

“I think that this is a combination of a variety of reasons, but some of this is from us being a little rattled by the way results have gone,” Whitford said. “Unless you’ve played the game, you don’t understand the emotional and psychological pressure that you feel when you’re frustrated out there. As that happens, you get away from all the other things.”

The team struggled in various facets of the game. The Cardinals shot for another season-low 8 percent from three alongside turning over the ball 18 times, leading to 14 Buffalo points.

Ball State ended up fouling out two players — sophomore forward Zach Gunn and redshirt junior guard K.J. Walton. Walton made up the bulk of the Cardinals’ points, downing 18 in the game before finding the bench. To pour more salt on the wound, senior center Trey Moses would end up leaving the game with an apparent knee injury after a collision.

“Tonight, our shot selection was bad, but in all fairness, Buffalo had a lot to do with it,” Whitford said.

“They started playing ‘no catch’ where they would deny every catch across the board. It messed us up, and sometimes we couldn’t move the ball at all.”

Amidst all the negatives and the blaring Queen music inside Alumni Arena on Queen night, there were some positives. Redshirt freshman center Blake Huggins took up Moses’ position after he went down to post six points and 10 rebounds over the course of 19 minutes. Huggins’ time on the court could be key if Moses is out for an extended period of time.

“I thought Blake was great and really gave us a

Baker recognizes his team is looking to him to be top dog, but he wasted no time mentioning that he’s not the only one who will turn some heads this season.

“I guess I feel like I’m kind of ‘the guy,’ but we got a lot of good arms on the team,” Baker said.

“There’s a few guys that could be ‘the guy’ … Our guys are electric.”

For him to get 10 rebounds in 19 minutes, I thought that was great.”

In the loss, the Cardinals put two in double figures, seeing Walton with 18 and redshirt junior Tahjai Teague with 13. Huggins led in rebounding with 10 followed by Gunn at nine.

Just as the horns that chased them off the court, Whitford said the team is taking “no bull” from this game.

“No B.S.” Whitford said. “These guys are really good and are the most athletic team we’ve ever played. That includes Purdue and Virginia Tech, and they’re certainly as good as both those teams.

You can definitely make the argument that they are the best of both those teams.”

Sebby said he often imagines what it would be like to be on the opposing team facing Jameson for the first time.

“We send him out on Saturday, and they’re like, ‘This guy’s a Saturday guy?’” he said. “Then he throws the first warp-up pitch, and they’re like, ‘Woah, that was kind of hard.’ Then he just keeps doing it for 7, 8, 9 innings — it’s pretty special.”

Then there’s Nicolas, who Maloney crowns as “the most talented of the three.” Nicolas was Prep Baseball Report’s 2017 Ohio Player of the Year coming into Ball State and was third on the Cardinal roster in both starts and innings pitched last season.

As long as the pitching staff stays healthy, Maloney said his team has a great opportunity to put together a memorable season with his three horses each starting a game over weekend series.

“The other teams won’t like facing [those] three guys. I promise you that,” Maloney said.

The Cardinals will open the 2019 season Feb. 15 in Tempe, Arizona, in the Grand Canyon University Classic.

What’s poppin’ in Indiana Starting in 1952, popcorn and Indiana have been fostering a long history together from large popcorn corporations to funky popcorn flavors. Indiana also has popcorn festivals and a town named Popcorn. 12 Trent Reeder, owner of Bob’s Comic Castle prepares for the day by putting out new comics Jan. 16, 2019, in Muncie, Indiana. Reeder originally opened Bob’s Comic Castle with his former business partner, Bob Ford. JACK HART, DN

From Marvel to DC Comics, Trent Reeder, the owner of Bob’s Comic Castle, has been expanding his comic book knowledge since elementary school.

Jack Hart Reporter Located in a hidden back corner of White River Plaza, Bob’s Comic Castle can be considered one of Muncie’s hidden treasures.

In his store full of boxes filled to the brim with comic books, 52-year-old owner Trent Reeder sits behind the store’s counter eager to answer any questions with his neverending knowledge of comic books, from the

Golden Age of comic books to what he calls “the mess of Marvel Comics.”

Reeder said his interest in comic books began when he was in elementary school.

Reeder would read his friends’ comics, and soon, he began joining his friends in their visits to the local comic book store.

Eventually, he and his friends began collecting comic books together. Other than a brief break in middle school, Reeder said he has been collecting comic books ever since.

In 1991, Reeder met his former coowner, Bob Ford, after the comic book store Reeder had been working at went out of business. Ford, who had been working in the same building, spoke to Reeder about an opportunity to open a new comic book store.

“He talked to me and said, ‘You know how to run the store; I know the numbers,’” Reeder said. “So we opened up a new store and named it Bob’s Comic Castle.”

Student uses talent to ‘empower, spark, liberate’ Through his own business, Ball State junior Jalen Lee works to help his classmates by motivating them with speech.

Kayla Jackson Reporter From a young age, Ball State junior Jalen Lee has had a gift for speaking.

“I was put on this earth to use my voice to impact people’s lives and to empower people,” Lee said. “My goal with speaking is to empower, to spark and to liberate.”

Today, he is using his gifts to pursue his goals through the business he created, J. Lee Speaks and Associates.

Lee said his father, Wesley Lee, was his motivation to start on the path he believes he was destined to walk — the path to becoming a motivational speaker.

His father pushed him to create his first video on Father’s Day, June 17, 2018. The video was one of many in his “Set the Tone Sunday” series.

“Once I had the courage to post my first video, it literally took off from there,” Lee said. “I started to gain momentum with my videos and content.

At first, I had no idea that my brand J. Lee Speaks would blow up to the point that I’m at now.

“It was just something I was passionate about.

It was something I was gifted at. And it was something that I loved to do. I just wanted to shoot some videos and put them out for social media trying to motivate a couple people.”

Over the course of his journey at Ball State, Lee has been very active on campus with activities such as being an orientation leader, a resident assistant (RA), a board member of the Student Conduct Board, director of Live Entertainment for University Program Board, a prince of Ball State’s 2017 homecoming court and president of Ball State’s Delta Iota chapter of Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity.

With every new challenge he takes on or new group he joins, Lee said he acquires new leadership skills and is able to hone in on his unique ability to speak.

One of Lee’s orientation pupils, Zoe Nunley, said she most likely would not have applied for her job as an RA if it were not for Lee. “He told me about how to become an RA,” Nunley said. “He was the first person to pique my interest in the job. His enthusiasm and excitement for the job sparked my interest immediately.”

While Nunley said she isn’t sure if he remembers her because she was one of 500 orientation students, she said Lee still left a lasting impact on her life.

Beca Mussatti, hall director of Botsford/ Swinford Hall where Lee was an RA, said she was not surprised by Nunley’s story. Mussatti has had the opportunity to observe his impact on 57 other Ball State students.

I was put on this earth to use my voice to impact people’s lives and to empower people. My goal with speaking is to empower, to spark and to liberate.”

“Jalen is very good at building relationships one-on-one with people, connecting with them and learning their story,” Mussatti said. “That’s [one reason] why his residents love him because he did build that one-on-one connection with them and get to know them on a deeper level.”

Since starting J. Lee Speaks and Associates, Lee has hosted 27 events including “Master U” seminars, “Empower U” workshops and one-onone coaching. To date, Lee has gained more than 5,000 followers on his Instagram site.

“If I can spark the eternal flame to change the world, that would be great,” Lee said. “I will use my voice until I die. I will speak my life into the lifeless.”

Trent Reeder, owner of Bob’s Comic Castle, often sees an empty shop in Muncie, Indiana. Reeder said he has had to “dip” into his savings multiple times to help the business. JACK HART, DN

A few years later, Ford had to sell his portion of Bob’s Comic Castle because he suffered from Alzheimer’s. In 1994, Reeder took over the store and has been running it alone ever since.

Reeder said Bob’s Comic Castle’s business was booming throughout the ‘90s and early 2000s, but since then, business has died down.

“A lot of it has to do with the way people are reading comics now,” Reeder said. “Everyone is going digital nowadays, and it doesn’t help that the comic book industry isn’t doing well.”

Sometimes barely “breaking even” with expenses, Reeder said he has had to “dip” into his own savings to keep the business open.

“I don’t know what I would do if I left the store,” Reeder said. “This is all I have done since I graduated college.”

As one of few comic book stores in the Muncie area, Reeder said he still has quite a few regular customers. Some customers come once a week or every two weeks. Some come only once a year.

“You never know what kind of day you are going to have,” Reeder said.

David Barnette, the owner of the Wizard’s Keep Game & Hobby, said he was a former customer of Reeder’s before the Wizard Keep moved into White River Plaza. “[Reeder] has great customer service,” Barnette said. “He just loves what he does.”

Whenever Barnette walked into Bob’s Comic Castle, he said he was a fan of the relaxed feeling of the comic book store.

“You don’t go hang out at Walmart and talk about if Spider-Man or Batman is better,” Barnette said. “You go to a comic book store to meet likeminded people.”

Popcorn facts many pop-ably never knew Indiana and popcorn have a long history together that continues to pop and expand.

Tier Morrow Features Editor In Indiana, popcorn companies have been popping up since 1952, starting with Orville Redenbacher.

Today, Indiana ranks second in popcorn production with $3 billion in corn sales, according to the Indiana Department of Agriculture.

Although popcorn only takes a few minutes to make in the microwave, the snack endures a long process from the field to the table.

First, popcorn seeds must be planted in separate fields from other types of corn, especially sweet corn. They must be left in the field until the very end of growing season to ensure the kernels are as dry as possible. When farmers think it is almost time for harvest, they shell a few kernels and pop them to check for taste.

When ready, the corn husks are shelled, and the kernels are stored in airtight containers, where the popcorn can retain its “popping quality” for a few years. When the popcorn reaches its designated company, it is either bagged to be sold in the supermarket or it is popped and transformed.

CRAZY popcorn flavor possibilities: S’mores Buffalo hot wing Cotton candy Dill pickle Razzleberry

There are multiple large popcorn production companies in Indiana, along with smaller gourmet shops.

FUN popcorn shop names:

Pop Around the Clock - Vincennes, Indiana Fresh POP’D Popcorn Company Indianapolis, Indiana Popcornopolis - Indianapolis, Indiana Just Pop In! - Indianapolis, Indiana Poptique Popcorn - Columbia City, Indiana Poppin’ Off Popcorn - Knox, Indiana While Indiana has all of these popcorn companies, what makes it stand out is Popcorn, Indiana. Yes, there is a real city called Popcorn.

Popcorn, Indiana, has a population of 42 people. The town got its name from the amount of popcorn the area grew, and in turn the brand name for its product is Popcorn, Indiana.

Along with stores and a whole town dedicated to popcorn, there are also two festivals dedicated to the consumption and creation of popcorn: the Van Buren Popcorn Festival and the Valpo Popcorn Festival.

The Van Buren Popcorn Festival began in 1973 and occurs every year in August, according to the event’s website. The festival includes a popcorn parade, “Kernel Klassic 5K” and a scarecrow contest. The Valpo Popcorn Festival began in 1978 and has grown to include 250 arts and crafts booths, 35 food booths and a five-mile popcorn panic, according to the event’s website.

For those who enjoy popcorn daily — plain, not gourmet — one serving can amount to 70 percent of the recommended daily amount of whole grain, according to popcorn.org. Popcorn can also be good for diabetics because it can help delay hunger, help with weight control and help control blood sugar.

FUN FACTS about popcorn:

• Americans consume 114 billion quarts of popcorn each year • 70 percent of popcorn is eaten in homes and 30 percent outside (in movie theaters, stadiums, schools) • Many companies use dry gelatin to color and flavor popcorn • Popcorn CAN be grown in a garden • It would take 352,000,000 popped kernels of popcorn to make a trail from New York to Los Angeles • Popcorn comes in two shapes: snowflake and mushroom. Movie Theaters use snowflake because it looks bigger, and mushroom is used for confections because it doesn’t crumble • The world’s largest popcorn ball was created at the 2013 Indiana State Fair; it weighed 6,500 pounds and was 8 feet in diameter Facts from popcorn.org.

OUR VIEW: Student media holds an important part in journalism, everyday life Our rights as student journalists must be protected.

REBECCA SLEZAK, DN PHOTO ILLUSTRATION

Editor’s Note: This editorial was published as part of Student Press Freedom Day January 30.

To learn more about the movement, visit splc.org/ student-press-freedom-day.

A journalist is a journalist.

Put “student” in front of journalist and nothing changes — we are journalists.

During the month of January, we celebrate Student Press Freedom Day, hosted by the Student Press Law Center (SPLC), to reflect on why student press is important and needs to be protected.

Since 1922, first with the introduction of the Easterner and then the evolution to The Daily News, Ball State students have accepted the responsibility and adopted the ethics of journalism. We are watchdogs, gatekeepers and storytellers. We seek to inspire and inform — we stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before us.

Nellie Bly exposed the inhumane treatment experienced by those in mental institutions.

Ida B. Wells brought to light several lynchings

to help progress the rights of African Americans before the Civil Rights Movement.

Edward R. Murrow reported on-site, uncensored details of World War II to give citizens raw, propaganda-free information about the realities of war.

Even today, journalists are working to reveal the darker parts of society for the betterment of its people — like the journalists at The Indianapolis Star who uncovered the sexual misconduct of U.S. Gymnastics physician Larry Nassar, which sparked the acknowledgement of many similar cases.

While we look up to the big names within our profession, our daily work as student journalists is not much different than theirs.

We stay up late and get up early. We send our stories through several rounds of edits and are constantly looking for the next story. We work endlessly to meet the needs of our communities by providing engaging, impactful and accurate content.

In everything we do, we follow the Society of

Professional Journalists (SPJ) Code of Ethics, which were created to guide journalists to responsibly, accurately and ethically report the news.

The environment of student media has allowed us to get a head start in our profession. We take what we learn in class and apply it to our work for publications — whether they are student-run or internship-related.

To prepare for possible situations we will face after we graduate, it is necessary we be given all the freedoms a “professional journalist” has.

Without these freedoms, student journalists at Pittsburg High School in Kansas would not have investigated the résumé of their newly-appointed principal, which ultimately led to her resignation.

Without these freedoms, student journalists at Har-Ber High School would not have been able to investigate the legitimacy of five varsity players’ transfers and expose their true motivations.

Student journalists want to be treated equally to our “professional” predecessors. We are all dedicated to truthful storytelling, and that’s what makes us all journalists.

ON BALLSTATEDAILYNEWS.COM: HEADSTRONG: THE FROZEN TRUTH

Journalists are accused of manufacturing the stories they report on, having bias and just looking for clicks.

Credible sources such as The New York Times, The Washington Post and many others now have to defend their words with more vigilance than ever.

Journalists are attacked, persecuted and killed for just doing their jobs. Five journalists were killed at the Capital Gazette in June 2018.

American journalist and critic of the Saudi Arabian government, Jamal Khashoggi, was killed in Saudi Arabia in October 2018. In total, 54 journalists were killed worldwide last year according to Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).

Gannett, Buzzfeed, The Indianapolis Star and HuffPost are just a few of the news sources who have recently experienced layoffs. The need for good journalism is growing, yet there aren’t enough jobs.

Nonetheless, we know the fight journalists face — whether it be against claims of “fake news” or bias — is worth fighting. Giving our audiences the truth will always be our number one priority as journalists.

STUDENT MEDIA Continued from Page 13

We keep an eye on the government and act as another agent in the checks and balances system. Journalism is the difference between a state-run news outlet, spewing propaganda produced by government officials and the public being able to use its voice.

Without journalists, the public loses its voice and insight into things beyond the scope of their everyday lives. We as journalists feed an important human need — curiosity. Without us, uninformed and unverified information is what ends up feeding this curiosity.

Freedom in student media is vital to ensure freedom for all journalists and truth-tellers. Our right to publish is so vital to a healthy democracy, it is protected under the First Amendment of the Constitution. We hold our responsibility near and dear to us, as students and as journalists collectively.

There is legislation currently trying to be passed to protect student media; however, not all states have adopted it. “New Voices” is powered in part by students, for students, to ensure our rights as journalists and protect us against censorship. This legislation is essential to our freedom, and we are pushing for its passing.

Student Press Freedom Day exists as a reminder that student media is important and needs protections like “New Voices” to ensure we can continue to provide our audiences with the information they deserve.

We, the people who are training to take the place of the current professionals, are just as important as those who came before us.
