Offense leads team to 48-36 victory Sophomore ties Ball State record with 4 touchdowns

|

CHASE AKINS FOOTBALL REPORTER @akins27_akins

Sophomore Darian Green tied a Ball State record with four touchdowns, and the Ball State offense exploded for 567 yards as the Cardinals defeated the Virginia Military Institute Keydets 48-36 to begin the season.

“A lot of what we do offensively is taking what they’re

giving us,” head coach Pete Lembo said. “We were able to force their over-hanging players to widen out and that gave us an opportunity to run the ball.”

The Cardinals worked to get the running game going early, as Green and junior Teddy Williamson carried the ball six times on the first drive.

Ball State capped off a 16play, 76-yard drive with a field goal by freshman Morgan Hagee. The Cardinals’ 3-0 lead stood up at the end of the first quarter.

Quarterback Jack Milas got going early in the second

quarter, leading the Cardinals on a drive that ended with a 4-yard touchdown by Green.

After a three-and-out on defense, Milas completed a pass to senior Jordan Williams for 36 yards to the VMI 20-yard line. The drive ended in another Hagee field goal, extending the lead to 13-0.

Williams moved into Ball State’s top 10 career receptions list. He now ranks ninth with 136 receptions, and also moved into ninth all-time with 1,902 receiving yards.

After the Hagee field goal, VMI quarterback Al Cobb hooked up with

Dontae Mauck for an 80yard touchdown.

The Cardinals answered, however, as Milas connected with KeVonn Mabon to the VMI 2-yard line, where Green ran it in for his second touchdown of the game.

Green finished with 73 yards on the ground.

“First off, give all the credit to the O-line,” Green said. “I felt very passionate.”

Both offenses stalled for the remainder of the half, but the Keydets added a field goal to make it 20-10 at the half in favor of the Cardinals.

SGA president encourages students to utilize resources JACQUI SCHLABACH ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTER | jtschlabach@bsu.edu

MUNCIE

Jack Hesser, SGA president and a senior microbiology and botany major, is a strong advocate for educating his peers during what is known as the Red Zone.

“As a survivor of sexual assault, I know firsthand what horrible things can happen during the Red Zone,” Hesser said. “It is so important to educate during this time period and make students aware of our campus support resources.”

The start of college and a new school year means parental supervision is at a minimum and students have to adjust to living independently. With these changes, the Red Zone, or the first six weeks of college, is labeled as a high-risk time for students, with an increase in both alcohol consumption and sexual assaults during that time.

Ball State’s focus on entrepreneurship includes, not only a new top administrator, but a new emphasis on creativity across campus.

“I think, ultimately, I have a real interest in creativity and innovation,” said Michael Goldsby, the school’s newly-appointed chief entrepreneurship officer. “In business schools, entrepreneurship is an area where you can really get in the creative side of business. More important, it’s more a life philos- MICHAEL ophy of people pursuing GOLDSBY Chief entreprelife opportunities.”

President Paul W. Fergu- neurship officer son hailed the new emphasis on entrepreneurship and problem solving in his opening address to faculty at the start of the semester, naming Goldsby to the new position and introducing Jennifer Blackmer, the school’s first associate provost for entrepreneurial learning.

THE SKINNY ‘A WALK IN THE WOODS’ IS NO WALK IN THE PARK ANNA BOWMAN FILM ANNALYSIS ANNA BOWMAN IS A SENIOR ENGLISH AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS MAJOR AND WRITES ‘FILM ANNALYSIS’ FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HER VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER. WRITE TO ANNA AT AABOWMAN@ BSU.EDU.

If you’ve ever wondered what it’s like to hike the Appalachian Trail with your feet bleeding, back aching, eyes straining and energy running low, look no further. “A Walk in the Woods” will give you all that and, much like the trail, it too is never-ending. From the disappointing visuals to the poorly written script, “A Walk in the Woods” is little more than what the title suggests.

The film is about Bill Bryson, a famous travel novelist, and his real-life journey on the Appalachian Trail with an old friend.

From that description, I expected there to be several breathtaking shots of the mountains and trees surrounding them.

I’m sorry to say that I remained firmly unimpressed with the visuals the entire time. That’s not to say some of the shots weren’t absolutely beautiful—I mean it is the Appalachian Trail—but for something so grand and full of life, the camera barely treats it as such. And even if the shots weren’t great, there’s always the phrase, “fix it in post.” Editing can’t do much for camerawork, but it can bring out some color and make what little they had more presentable. Nonetheless, Ken Kwapis, the film’s director, did not seem to pick up on this strategy, resulting in

even more disappointment.

Although he has had much success in the TV industry, with episodes of “The Office,” “Freaks and Geeks” and “Parks and Recreation” under his belt, it seems as though Kwapis’s directing success ends there.

That’s not to say he hasn’t directed movies before—he directed “He’s Just Not That Into You,” “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants,” “License To Wed” … need I go on? “A Walk in the Woods” is just another movie to add to his solidly mediocre list.

As far as the humor goes, I’d like to give “A Walk in the Woods” a participation medal for its efforts at cracking a joke or two. If this movie had a more direct audience, things might have been easier for the writing staff. However, it appears as though they were trying to win over both the young and the old with the script and, as a result, lost everyone.

For example, they use walking into a glass door as a gag, which seems very out of place.

I expected to laugh at the backand-forth banter and cutting repartee from a movie about two men on a long journey, but, sadly, both were absent.

As for the cast, it couldn’t have been better—in theory.

“A Walk in the Woods” features a main character who hikes the Appalachian Trail with an old friend. The movie premiered in theaters Wednesday.

You’ve got Robert Redford and Nick Nolte as the forerunners with brief appearances by Nick Offerman, Emma Thompson, Kristen Schaal and Mary Steenburgen, but their talents are barely touched—wasted, if you ask me. The dialogue they were given was forgettable and none of them, with the exception of Thompson, have any sort of conflict involved with their parts. Redford and Nolte were given more to work with, but in some scenes I almost got the feeling they didn’t want to be there. As for their collaboration, Redford and Nolte play

well together, but I don’t foresee any sequels in their future.

For a friendship that started over thirty years ago and has travelled through many different countries, they seem little more than business acquaintances for most of the movie.

It’s only until they are struck with a life or death situation that the script forces them to have a sentimental moment.

There is little more to say about “A Walk in the Woods” than the fact that it was average, and perhaps an hour and a half too long.

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 He began taking photography classes at Ball State. He found a mentor.

Frank Foster, Poppleton’s favorite professor, encouraged him to pursue photography as a career. Foster had received his master’s degree in photography from the California Institute of the Arts in Valencia. He told Poppleton that he should consider applying to the school.

Cal-Arts became Poppleton’s post-Ball State destination. The school accepted him into its after-master’s program only after he obtained another degree at Ball State.

The move from Indiana to the West Coast plunged Poppleton in an environment he’d never experienced before.

“Being from Carmel and Ball State back then when it wasn’t as racially integrated, it was a big — not a culture shock, but it was a big change,” he said. “A really positive one for me.”

While mingling with new people and making friends, Poppleton met Kevin Hosmann, an art director.

It was Hosmann who asked Poppleton if he’d accompany him on a job creating the album art for a fledgling hip-hop group.

Poppleton and Hosmann spent a day roaming Los Angeles with Eazy-E, Dr. Dre, Ice Cube, MC Ren and DJ Yella.

“We were just making it up on the fly as we were walking around,” said Poppleton.

He doesn’t remember who suggested that he should lie on the ground. It was probably a collaboration between himself and Hosmann, Poppleton said.

The resulting image would

later decorate shelves, T-shirts and the walls of devoted N.W.A fans.

Today, Poppleton carries mixed feelings about the iconic photo.

“I’m just kind of ambivalent,” he said. “It’s not my genre of music. It’s not my

lifestyle. It was a long time ago. It was a job.”

He continued photographing N.W.A — eventually adding four more of their album covers to his portfolio.

By the time the group split, Hosmann and Poppleton had also parted ways.

Poppleton abandoned commercial music photography and shaped his career around automotive interiors and hotels instead.

His projects edged ever closer to the extreme after 2008 when Poppleton

added filming to his repertoire.

He worked for Fuel TV as an embedded cameraman on a 1,376-mile dirt bike ride from Mexicali to Cabo San Lucas.

The eight-day journey left him with a laceration on his upper thigh that exposed his femur and required 40 stitches.

After an assignment with Red Bull, Poppleton returned home with two hernias.

It was in Nepal, however, where he incurred his biggest lost.

One of Poppleton’s friends from Cal-Arts, Tom Taplin, invited him to travel to the country in April. They would be filming a documentary about Mount Everest’s base camps — the last stop for adventurers and guides before they ascend the largest mountain in the world.

Near the end of April, after weeks of filming picturesque landscapes and interviews with Sherpas, Poppleton left Taplin at Everest Base Camp. He traveled back to the air-

port in Kathmandu, where he would depart for the United States.

That’s when the shaking began.

Nepal’s April earthquakes and aftershocks killed more than 8,800 people. Taplin was one of them.

The ensuing events — Poppleton’s recovery of Taplin’s body, an emotional cremation ceremony — were detailed in an in-depth CNN article published soon after Taplin’s death.

Four months after the disaster, and Poppleton is back in California with his wife and daughter. The future of the documentary he envisioned with Taplin is uncertain. Even if Poppleton picks up the pieces, they might not end up in the same place.

Poppleton’s experience in Nepal hasn’t squashed his desire to “push the limits” creatively or physically.

“I will certainly go anywhere that a camera needs to go,” he said. From the streets of Los Angeles to the top of the world.

WE’RE HIRING!

When Eric Poppleton studied business at Ball State, one of his professors encouraged him to pursue a photography career. In addition to taking the “Straight Outta Compton” album cover photo, Poppleton filmed his dirt bike ride from Mexicali to Cabo San Lucas for Fuel TV.

The game begins at noon.

Ball State to play 3 undefeated teams in tournament after loss to IUPUI Women’s volleyball lacks time to adjust for road matches CAINS VOLLEYBALL REPORTER | ZACH @ZPC1329 Bouncing back from a loss to IUPUI on Wednesday isn’t exactly going to help Ball State in the upcoming Lipscomb Invitational.

“The one issue with the road is the inability to work on things on the court, especially after a loss,” head coach Steve Shondell said.

“We are going to be talking a lot to each other on the trip to try and fix what we can as a team.”

Because the team is on the road, there isn’t much time to adjust following its three-set loss. The Cardinals now head into the Lipscomb Invitational today, where it will match up against host Lipscomb (30), Florida Atlantic (4-0) and Pepperdine (4-0) over

a two-day span.

But Shondell knew from the beginning this is what he signed up for.

“They are some tough teams that are coming our way, but we knew we would be playing one of the hardest schedules we’ve ever had,” he said.

Last year, the Cardinals finished with a 3-6 overall record in three regular season tournaments.

They’ve already matched that win total this season with an Active Ankle Challenge championship last weekend.

Shondell said the Cardinals are gearing up for the postseason Mid-American Conference Tournament, and tough matches will only benefit them.

It also helps to have the experience of six seniors on the roster.

“The seniors have a lot of experience on the road,” Shondell said. “They like the challenge and are ready to challenge their teammates to win.”

TEAM STATS • Total attacks - 609 • Kills - 230 • Attack percentage - .222 • Assists per set - 12.8 • Service aces - 16 • Reception percentage - .931 • Total blocks - 39.5 • Digs per set - 15.5 Ball State will begin the tournament with a doubleheader today. The match against Lipscomb is scheduled for 1:30 p.m., and will be followed by a matchup with Florida Atlantic at 6 p.m. The Cardinals will end the tournament looking for a title on Saturday versus Pepperdine at 1:30 p.m.

“We know the challenge in front of us and we have had to prepare like this on the road before,” Shondell said. “None of this is new to us, so the team feels ready and feels like it can win.”

‘VOLLEYBALL BIRDIES NEED THEIR BIRDIE BAND’ Drum roll please… The Women’s Volleyball team would like to thank Ball State’s Pep Band for their impact in this past weekend’s tournament. Hearing the roar of the crowd after an ace or monster kill is nice, but nothing compares to the sound of drums and symbols as fans clap to the beat of the fight song. We as Cardinals are strong, but there isn’t a team in the MAC that can compete with the Cardinals when the band has Worthen up on their feet. Your support and continuous contribution to our success as a volleyball team is appreciated far beyond the court.

As a university, we need to join together as one team, with one goal: Being victorious over all those who step in our house. Now enough beating around the drum… or is it bush? Well whatever it is, the Volleyball Birdies need their Birdie Band at every home match this season! Your pride in school spirit is exactly what our team needs and we can’t emphasize enough how impactful your performance is on ours.

ROBBY GENERAL ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @the_generex6

In its first game of the season, the Ball State football team gained 567 total yards and put up 48 points.

Head coach Pete Lembo was able to utilize his fast-paced, short-yardage-based offense thanks to the time his veteran offensive line provided for the quarterback and running backs.

“We operated pretty well offensively,” Lembo said.

“Nobody panicked and everyone kept playing.

Good, solid win.”

The Ball State offense racked up points throughout the game behind the right arm of sophomore signal-caller Jack Milas.

Milas looked relaxed throughout the game, finding eight different receivers in the game.

He finished 34-52 in the game for a career high 338 yards, one touchdown and one interception - a

TEAM STATS • Total yards - 567 • Passing yards - 338 • Rushing yards - 229 • First downs - 33 • Time of possession - 32:27 tipped pass off receiver Chris Shilling’s fingertips.

Milas was not sacked in the game.

While he was rushed at times, the team operated well under the fast-paced scheme.

“It’s tough, but we have routes that are made for that kind of blitz,” Milas said. “We just have to ID it right. We knew that going in that they were going to bring pressure.”

Ball State’s running back committee was able to find gaps in the Keydets’ defense throughout the game.

The running game finished with a total of 229 yards and accounted for five of the team’s six touchdowns.

With a fair amount of screen and quick passes called, it is crucial to have an offensive line that is both agile and strong. There were two new starters listed on the

Milas came out firing in the second half, capping off the team’s opening drive with a 35-yard touchdown to Green on a screen pass.

Ball State was pass-happy throughout the game, as Milas finished with 34 completions on 52 attempts. He threw for one touchdown and one interception to go along with a career-high 338 yards.

Lembo credits said the number of attempts was due to what the defense was giving them.

Ball State started taking advantage of VMI’s run defense again late in the third quarter, as freshman James Gilbert made the score 34-10 with a 1-yard score. VMI responded with a touchdown to make the score 34-17 after three.

After another Keydet

touchdown, Gilbert scored again to extend the lead to 17 once again.

In his debut, Gilbert finished with 12 carries, 61 yards and two scores. Williamson led the backfield in carries with 16, finishing with 74 yards.

The Cardinals’ defense struggled in the fourth quarter, as VMI kept inching closer. But Green’s fourth touchdown, this one from 46 yards out, sealed the win for Ball State.

The offenses set a Scheumann Stadium record in the game with 1,114 combined total yards.

“We operated pretty well offensively,” Lembo said.

“Nobody panicked and everyone kept playing. Good, solid win.”

Ball State (1-0) will return to action Sept. 12 when it travels to College Station, Texas to take on Texas A&M.

@jerikaschultz Jerika Schultz The Ball State offensive line was full of veterans to help provide protection for the quarterback and running backs. Head coach Pete Lembo said he was pleased with the group’s performance in the game.

“We played seven [offensive lineman],” Lembo said. “We are very pleased with that group. They work hard, they work really well together ... one thing you didn’t see was any negative plays tonight.”

Ball State had no issue in pushing the Keydets’

front seven backwards in the trenches. Stamina has been an issue for the Cardinals in the past - especially in the fourth quarter - but the men up front looked strong throughout the game.

The Cardinals’ offensive line will have to bring its best in the team’s next game, as it travels to take on national powerhouse Texas A&M on Sept. 12.

University develops app to decrease daily emails Program makes it easier to check Blackboard on phone

RAYMOND GARCIA ACADEMIC REPORTER ragarcia@bsu.edu

Ball State is developing a phone app to combat the large volume of emails students receive, starting with the daily notification dashboard summaries from Blackboard.

Ball State’s Communications Center has sent out approximately 51 million e-mails to registered students since Jan. 1, 2014, not including Blackboard messages and other academic related notifications, said Kyle Parker, senior software engineer for Developing Technologies.

The app, called Campus Hub, will intercept Blackboard’s daily emails and use notifications instead.

The app will also make it easier to check Blackboard on mobile devices. Campus Hub uses a free service from Context.IO to intercept the emails.

“We know students get a lot of email and we know Blackboard can be difficult to navigate on a mobile device,” Parker said “It’s not always

the easiest to get through.”

Parker said the app will show testing lab availability in addition to Blackboard notifications. He said other features may be added, including notifications for holds on students’ accounts from the Bursar’s or Registrar’s offices.

Eric Barlow, a senior telecommunications major and digital production supervisor in the Digital Corps, served in a student focus group for the app. He said Campus Hub is similar to a social media feed because it opens to a home page and contains different messages for different topics.

“You can real quickly get some of the key information you need, and it simplifies a student’s life,” Barlow said.

Barlow said students in the focus group, including himself, would likely download the app and use it.

“When we were able to get our hands on it for the first time, everybody liked [the app],” Barlow said. “I think everybody agreed that it was very useful.”

While there is no set launch date for the app, Parker said the Android version of the app is complete and the iOS version is still being worked on.

“The social contract of the 21st century has changed,” he said. “Today, people have to chart their own course.”

Ball State’s Entrepreneurship Center opened in 1983 in the Miller College of Business. Goldsby has been with the program for 14 years.

RED ZONE:

PARTY SMART TIPS

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 In 2010, there were approximately 189,000 emergency room visits by persons under the age of 21 for injuries and other conditions linked to alcohol, according to the Indiana Coalition to Reduce Underage Drinking.

Allison Wynbissinger, Ball State victim advocate, said while alcohol does not cause sexual assaults, alcohol is involved approximately 50 percent of the time, by either the perpetrator, the survivor or both.

She said the Red Zone is extended to a six-week time frame due to freshman students meeting new people and attempting to fit in with the idea that all college students drink excessively. As for upperclassmen, returning to campus and being reunited with friends poses the opportunity for celebration.

The Office of Victims Services tries to educate students during the red zone about drinking responsibly and alternative ways to party on campus without alcohol. The office takes requests from classrooms, residence halls or Greek Life organizations to do their Party Smart tips presentation. Wynbissinger said the most important thing for students is not being the perpetrator of an assault.

“First and foremost, the best advice I can offer to anyone is not be a perpetrator of this crime: Do not sexually assault oth-

er people,” Wynbissinger said in an email.

Sexual assault is one of the most under-reported violent crimes, with an estimated 68 percent going unreported, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network.

SGA will make visits to organizations on campus regarding resources available, such as the Step In. Speak Up. application. A social media campaign aimed to raise awareness of ways to prevent sexual assaults and substance abuse will also be launched.

“Society often places the blame first on the survivor, quickly questioning things like, ‘What were you doing there?’ and, ‘What were you wearing?’ as if it, in anyway, justifies the actions taken by the assailant,” Hesser said.

“Sexual assault is not anyone’s fault but the person who committed the assault.”

scene for continued support of entrepreneurial efforts at the university, Kuratko said.

Kuratko said Goldsby’s addition to the program was like spotting a gem.

“It’s good fortune he found us,” said Kuratko. “I think over the years he’s developed a great vision for entrepreneurial learning at Ball State University.”

STEP IN. SPEAK UP. PLEDGE DAY Students sign the Step In. Speak Up. pledge at the Scramble Light Thursday. The pledge day was a part of a series of events during the week that brought attention to sexual assault awareness and prevention.

Other events during the week included speaker Tim Mousseau, bystander intervention training and a sexual assault panel. Step In. Speak Up. aims to educate people about consent and to encourage them to step in if they see someone in trouble. This was the first time that Step In. Speak Up. hosted a week dedicated to bring awareness to its cause. Students can also download the Step In. Speak Up. app for resources and information on handling sexual assault situations.
