SEXUAL ASSAULT
Student shares reporting process KARA BERG NEWS EDITOR | news@bsudailynews.com
*Editor’s note: Emma Barkley is a pseudonym Emma Barkley* doesn’t remember anything about the night of her rape. It happened on New Year’s Eve when she was out with a large group of friends and acquaintances. Barkley knew she was supposed to go to work the next morning, and she wanted to leave. The rape kit she went to get the next day didn’t show any evidence of drugs — even though Barkley firmly believes she was drugged. But common date rape drugs like GHB, ketamine and rohypnol leave the body quickly, according to the Office of Women’s Health, U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Barkley showed a copy of her rape kit to the Daily News. Barkley filed a complaint with the university’s adjudication process, which started a shorter, easier version of the criminal process. She had classes with the person who assaulted her, and she needed to report to the university to get him out of those classes. The goal of the university process is to find out if there was a violation of the student code or not. Because the university process isn’t a legal proceeding, it doesn’t end in an arrest, and the highest punishment possible is expulsion. Barkley had a positive experience with the university, but some university reporting systems have caused controversy. As of March 30, 174 postsecondary institutions have 220 sexual violence complaints against them about investigations, and many are calling for something to change.

Gilman retires after 42 years at Ball State French professor looks back on career, relationships with students MELISSA JONES COPY DIRECTOR | copydesk@bsudailynews.com When Donald Gilman isn’t busy as a fellow in research at universities like Harvard and Yale, directing one of more than 50 honors theses or receiving a grant from the Canadian and French governments, he can be found in the North Quad Building teaching French and telling stories of his many travels. After 42 years as a French professor at Ball State — and after 16 teaching awards and two Outstanding Faculty Awards — Gilman is retiring.

THE BACK DOOR TO TEACHING
As a student at University of North Carolina Chapel Hill, Gilman had no plans of becoming a professor. With intentions to earn a degree in English or history and pursue a career in law, he came to be a French professor by accident. “Life is built upon accidents, and in my case, it was serendipity,” he said. Gilman was required to take a foreign language course as an undergraduate, and that’s when he realized he could read American literature just fine on his own time. But because he had trouble reading in French, he decided to pursue a French degree to help him master the skill.

hen Darren Sible first saw his future house, he knew he wanted to sign the lease. It had hardwood floors, just the right amount of bedrooms and a lot of character. The only problem — the landlord told him that he didn’t like college students, which Sible, now a senior English education major, was a little put-off by. But he and his roommates planned on being good tenants, so they signed the lease. After they moved in, there were a few things wrong with the house, like a missing door and door knobs, wet spots on the ceiling and a hole in the kitchen floor that they could see the basement through. When they asked the landlord to fix these things, the real problems started.

All-Tournament Team honors last season. He will be returning to the MAC championship Friday through Saturday at the Highland Meadows Golf Club in Sylvania, Ohio. Because of his previous accomplishments, expectations were high for Watts this season, and he has met those expectations with his performance on the course. Watts has recorded five top10 performances, seven top-20 performances and scored in the 60s four rounds this season, leading the Cardinals’ lineup in each category. He said getting into golf was never in question. “I’ve been playing ever since I can remember,” Watts said. THE PULSE OF BALL STATE
