Freshman replaces Milas in game against Eastern Michigan, finishes with 28-17 win CHASE AKINS FOOTBALL REPORTER

@akins27_akins

n a situation similar to last year, Ball State’s backup quarterback has provided a needed spark to the offense. Trailing 17-0 to Eastern Michigan, freshman Riley Neal led the Cardinals to 28 unanswered points in relief of starter Jack Milas. Neal finished the game 24-28 for 194 yards and a touchdown and added 93 yards and a touchdown on the ground in the 28-17 win. “I felt pretty good,” Neal said. “Our offensive line blocked amazing all game, so that makes it pretty easy when they’re doing that.” Milas started the game for the Cardinals, going 0-5 before head coach Pete Lembo pulled him. It was the second straight poor outing for Milas, as he finished 1-8 with an interception against Texas A&M last week.

Public safety sends email after assault on campus Notice contains few details of sexual incident in residence hall

CASEY SMITH CRIME REPORTER casmith11@bsu.edu

In the first ever public safety alert for a sexual assault on campus, information that would typically be found in a police report was not included and left some stuEMAIL dents wondering. Students received a Ball State’s Department campus-wide email of Public Safety sent out informing them of a the email Sept. 9 and sexual assault on campus didn’t include informathat read: tion like the location, a “The Ball State University Police Department is description of the perpeinvestigating a reported trator and when the incicase of sexual assault dent happened. that occurred in a campus Other schools in Indiana residence hall.

Purdue University gives students details on the incident date, time, type, location and suspect information. Indiana University also alerted students about suspect details and updates in a recent sexual assault incident. Alan Hargrave, chairman of the university’s crisis management team, said emergency notifications are strategically distributed and outlined by the Clery Act, a federal law that requires universities to share information on crime with the public. “Efforts are made to ensure that individuals are not identified, and that information is not included in the advisory, which could lead to the identification of the victim, such as the name of the residence hall,” Hargrave said. “It may appear to some that the advisory is generic, but the notices are issued this way out of the necessity to protect the victim to the best of our ability.”

You can’t be part of the fight when you’re sitting in the county jail.” Maternowski said there was nothing that could be done for students found with marijuana on campus and in the dorms, as the university is public property. According to the NORML website, 50 percent of Maternowski’s casework involves marijuana defense, while the other 50 percent is general criminal defense. “Don’t put yourself in stupid situations,” Maternowski said. “I’m trying to protect you from knowing me in a legal capacity.”

Even as public attitudes and laws on marijuana have started to change around the U.S., students should still remember it is illegal in Indiana, a criminal defense attorney said. Andrew Maternowski, an Indianapolis-based lawyer, is also a member of the National Organization for the Reformation of Marijuana Laws (NORML) legal committee.

FOOTBALL:

Riley Neal, a freshman quarterback, entered the game with Ball State trailing 17-0 to Eastern Michigan. Neal improved Ball State’s record to 2-1.

There have been some dropped passes on the receiving end of Milas passes, but the production tells the story. Last season, Ozzie Mann began the season as Ball State’s starting quarterback. After a slow start to the season, Milas took the starting job and never looked back. Neal’s play over the last two games has allowed the Cardinals to move down the field efficiently and score points. Lembo didn’t name a starter until late last week,

but both quarterbacks seem to be focused on winning football games. “[Neal] is a good player, too,” Milas said prior to the game against Eastern Michigan. “I’m going to keep competing and keep going no matter what happens.” In addition to his efficiency throwing the ball, Neal has carved up defenses with his feet. Many running quarterbacks slide or head out of bounds to protect themselves, but Neal puts his head down and tries to get more yardage. His size allows him to power through defenders. He showed off his moves on a 41-yard scramble

He side steps other defenders and stiff-arms his way into the end zone, falling in for his first collegiate touchdown.

When the ball snaps, Neal settles into a nice pocket of protection from the offensive line. He’s looking through all five of his options downfield. Gilbert goes out for a short hitch route in the flat to take away a blitzing Eastern Michigan linebacker. Curry stays back to block.

Gilbert throws a key block on the linebacker he brought out with him that sprung Neal past the line of scrimmage. Neal advances about 10 yards before evading defenders and balancing the sideline.

Neal evades a sack by running toward the sideline on the right side of the field. Neal then looks and sees empty space with no Eastern Michigan defenders in front of him. He cuts upfield along the sideline as he avoids an ankle tackle from a defensive lineman.

Neal lines up in a maximum protection set of shotgun, with James Gilbert on his left and fullback Dylan Curry to his right. Offensive coordinator Joey Lynch calls for three receivers on the field as well. Jordan Williams lines up by himself on the left side of the field, while Chris Shillings lines up in the slot on the right with KeVonn Mabon next to him.

Freshman Riley Neal replaced Jack Milas in the Cardinals’ first Mid-American Conference game against Eastern Michigan. One advantage Neal possesses is the ability to run the ball. On this play, the Eagles’ coverage held up down the field, forcing Neal to scramble out of the pocket. Several jukes and broken tackles later, Neal found the end zone from 41 yards out for his first collegiate touchdown. The touchdown helped Ball State gain momentum and rally for a 28-17 win.

for a touchdown against Eastern Michigan when he broke several tackles. He likes to run, but Neal said he looks to throw first. “I always try to keep my eyes down field because I’m a passer first, always have been and always will be,” Neal said. “But I’m looking [for running] if I can for sure.” Neal’s ability to carry the ball caught Lembo’s eye early on. “He had good ball security,” Lembo said. “That was one thing I noticed early on, ... that he was making a great effort to keep the ball high and tight.” After two straight strong performances from Neal,

Despite the 0-3 loss at the Purdue Boiler Box Challenge this weekend, head coach Steve Shondell believes the team is on track for league play. Ball State had high numbers for kills, but it also had several attack errors.

Cardinals to start MAC play Team finishes 6-8 in non-conference play over weekend

ZACH CAINS VOLLEYBALL REPORTER @ZPC1329

All season long, Ball State head women’s volleyball coach Steve Shondell has focused on Mid-American Conference play and the postseason. After a 0-3 weekend at the Purdue Boiler Box Challenge, the Cardinals finished their non-conference schedule at 6-8. But for Shondell, the team is on the right track to start league play. “We played the best offense we have played all season,” Shondell said. “Everyone gave their all; we just couldn’t get the finish.” Ball State dropped losses to Notre Dame and Purdue to

begin the tournament. The final match was a five-set defeat to South Dakota. Although the offense looked better, Shondell said there are still things to work on. The Cardinals had high kill numbers, but also accumulated several attack errors. They finished the weekend with 71 errors compared to their opponents’ 49. Against Notre Dame, Ball State finished with 23 attack errors. “We just came out with a lot of problems against Notre Dame that we just couldn’t overcome toward the end,” Shondell said. Despite some of the team’s early season losses, a lot of that can be chalked up to the high level of competition the Cardinals have seen. “We played some of the biggest teams in the nation, like Purdue, and played them tough but just couldn’t get the finish over

them we wanted,” Shondell said. “When you play schools like that, the win isn’t the important thing; it’s what you learn out there. And we have learned a lot about ourselves.” Shondell feels Ball State has the ability to beat any team in the MAC, he said, and they have the talent and ability to put it all together. Like on the offensive side, Ball State will look to fine-tune the precision of its defense as it begins conference play on Thursday. “We need to work on digs and hitting them with accuracy,” Shondell said. “We need to learn to hit and place them somewhere instead of just trying to get a hand or arm on it.” Ball State is also missing players due to injury. It awaits the return of Alex Fuelling, a senior leader

who plays a big role on both sides of the net. Ball State currently has just the sixth-best record in the MAC, but the team feels its record doesn’t portray how good it can be. “We still control our destiny,” Shondell said. “And we still feel we can achieve what we want this season.”

Busted Space Theatre Company shares student identity struggles Show focuses on 11 true experiences from students

SABRINA CHILDERS GENERAL REPORTER sechilders2@bsu.edu

Seats in front of an outdoor stage in the Quad slowly started to fill as the student cast of the Busted Space Theatre Company played the ukulele, creating a casual and welcoming atmosphere. The 11-member cast performed their second “Think About It” show Friday, which featured 11 monologues depicting a different character’s

story of overcoming judgment from peers. The theme for the night was identity, and all of the monologues focused on that aspect of life. “As young people, we are constantly shifting in what we think about ourselves and what other people think about us,” said director Maureen O’Leary, a Ball State junior. Before the show began, O’Leary encouraged the audience to be interactive and express how they felt during the show to create an accepting atmosphere. Knowing that every story was that of one of their peers, the audi-

ence responded with rounds of applause and cheers after each story. “I hope people walk away from this not asking questions about themselves, but more of, ‘What is it like to be in that person’s skin?’” O’Leary said. “If we can shove one person in a positive direction, we’ve done our job here today.” After the group came up with the identity theme for the show, they set up a Google forum where they asked students to anonymously share their experiences with identity. Out of the roughly 42 submitted, 11 were chosen to be a part of the show. “I think this is a great way to

express everyone’s differences and how wonderful that is,” said Chris Bell, a sophomore theatre studies major. Bell played a character who struggled with the religion he was raised to follow and the decision to leave that faith regardless of his family’s views. “It was kind of conflicting in a sense that it goes against what I believe,” Bell said. While the stories were meant to impact the audience, they also left marks on the actors portraying them. Ashten Spilker, a sophomore secondary education major, played a victim of sexual assault. She spoke about how her character overcame

the circumstances to no longer allow the incident to define her. “It’s deep things like this that can give an audience perspective and you as an actor perspective,” Spilker said. “It makes me feel in ways that nothing else is able to make me feel.” One in five women and one in 33 men have been the victim of attempted or completed rape in their lifetime, according to the Rape, Abuse and Incest National Network. “[Sexual assault] is a problem that affects a lot of people, and no one really understands that,” Spilker said.

The Ethnic Theatre Alliance has hosted multiple events focused on race and social justice issues. It has put together events relating to Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson, Mo., and more recently, transgender lives. Last Thursday, ETA led the Trans Lives Matter march to start the conversation about the 19 transgender women killed so far in 2015.

Ethnic Theatre Alliance works to spread social justice ideas Organization hosts protests, marches to inform campus

ALLIE KIRKMAN GENERAL REPORTER aekirkman@bsu.edu

The Ethnic Theatre Alliance firmly believes in social justice and love in action. Although the group identifies as a theater organization, they have hosted multiple events focused on race and social justice issues, most recently a Trans Lives Matter march down McKinley Avenue Thursday. “ETA is an organization that uses theater and social justice to inspire, involve and pop the Ball State community bubble on human issues that must be addressed in our country, city, state and nation,” ETA President Nathaniel Thomas said. “Social justice is love in action. That is a statement that ETA believes in and lives by.” The group uses theater and art to explore cultures, diversity and racial discrimination. They focus on doing an event at least once a month where they

Ball State issues three types of emergency alerts to students and faculty. Two of these alerts, Public Safety Advisories and BSUInform Notices, are sent through email alone because the information does not require recipients to take immedi-

reach out to Ball State students and the community. Some of the events ETA has put together include protesting on social injustice issues such as Michael Brown’s death in Ferguson, Mo., and, most recently, bringing awareness to transgender lives. The goal of the Trans Lives Matter march was to start a conversation on campus about the 19 transgender women killed so far in 2015, and to show their support for the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) community. “We are having this march to encourage our students to look at the state of emergency,” Thomas said. “Our trans brothers and sisters are dying, and if the media won’t cover it, if the school won’t talk about it, then we, as the student body, will start the conversation.” Trans Lives Matter participants met at North Quad, where students and community members spoke out on transphobia and encouraged the spread of awareness through conversation. “We want this to become a conversation that is happening on campus; ate action to protect themselves, Hargrave said. Emergency warnings—serious situations that require recipients to take action—are reserved for more urgent matters and are distributed through text alerts, as well as email messages. In instances of sexual assault, Hargrave said Public Safety Advisories are issued to help alert the campus and provide helpful information to the community. When a significant emergency or dangerous situation is confirmed to exist, the Department of Public Safety will take into account the safety of the community to determine what information

Questions from the audience focused primarily on the legal consequences of being found with or around marijuana in Indiana. Students noted how the punishment for marijuana possession on campus is harsher than the punishment for underage alcohol possession. According to the Ball State Student Code, students who live on campus “will be subject to immediate contract termination if found responsible for any violation” of the drug policy. On the other hand, in cases of underage alcohol possession or consumption, parents are called after the first incident in certain cases and sometimes not until the second case. Lucas Reidenbach, a student who is the social media officer for Ball State’s NORML chapter, said people will always use marijuana whether it is legal or not. He said NORML does not support breaking the law, but hosted Maternowski to educate people about the implications of

to release and begin the notification process “without delay,” Hargrave said. Once the University Police Department receives the report, the director of public safety reviews the information to determine if the criteria is met to issue a Public Safety Advisory. “Sometimes, victims are traumatized by the event and are unable to bring themselves to immediately report,” Hargrave said. “Because of this, a report may not be received until many days after the attack.” The Clery Act outlines what geographical boundaries universities use for reporting Clery-reportable crimes,

these protests are not only to speak up on important controversial issues, but to also show support to the individuals who may be affected by them, she said. “ETA feels it’s important to specifically show love and support to members of the BSU community who feel at any time unwelcome or unwanted because of their race, sexuality, gender, religion or any other reason,” Stewart said. “Everyone should know that the world wants them and that someone cares about them.” The next event the ETA will be hosting is Diversity Day on Friday in the Bracken Library courtyard. Thomas said the event will be like a living museum featuring all kinds of people ranging from different genders, ethnicities and sexual affiliations. including sexual assault. With the implementation of the Violence Against Women Act in July 2014, timely warnings are required to be issued with the same requirements, said Kay Bales, vice president for student affairs and dean of students. “The issuance of timely warnings, such as the one disseminated last week, are one aspect of Ball State’s adherence to federal regulations,” Bales said. “The protection of a victim’s identity is paramount, and those protections are provided for in the federal regulations, which state the disclosure of personally identifiable information is prohibited.”

When she realized how many concepts of identity Ball State students struggled with, it motivated her and other performers to make a difference with their performance. “There’s such a [stigma] for people to be different,” Spilker said. “But when someone actually acts upon it, they’re judged.”

marijuana usage. “I want to make explicitly clear that we do not encourage or directly endorse marijuana usage, as it is still illegal in the state of Indiana,” Reidenbach said. “We are facilitating a Q&A to inform students about their rights in certain situations.” Maternowski said he believed marijuana would become legal in about 15 years. Until then, he said students need to be aware of the laws regarding marijuana in Indiana and around the country. Possession of any amount of marijuana in Indiana is a misdemeanor and can lead to 180 days in prison and a maximum fine of $1,000, according to norml.org. Maternowski noted that there are attorneys who are part of the NORML legal committee who have never even used marijuana, but recognize it as a right they think people deserve. “If it was my world, [NORML] wouldn’t even exist because pot would be legal,” Maternowski said. “Advocate for change. Don’t be afraid to speak up. I support people who support change in law.”

Mata said everyone is looking forward to the salsa dancing lesson, which will be held Sept. 21 and led by a dance instructor from Indianapolis. “When we presented this to our members during our first meeting, they were really excited about it,” Mata said. “It was something that we wanted for a two or three years.” On Sept. 22, LSU members will be at the Scramble Light at 3 p.m. sharing facts about important people, dates and the overall culture of Latin countries. Members will give out cupcakes and buttons while educating passers-by and playing games. The final program for LSU’s Week of Events is a potluck dinner, which will be held on Sept. 24 in the multicultural center. LSU Vice President Krisis Allennys thought up the idea as a way for people to sample foods from different cultures and countries. They will have food like authentic tacos, pollo con arroz (chicken with rice), una soup de pollo, (chicken soup) and guacamole. Students make the food them-

selves, with the ingredients provided by LSU. Allennys said they are trying to represent as many countries as possible at the potluck. “We want to limit from having food from only one place,” Allennys said. “It’s going to be very fun, very tasteful and diverse.” They kicked off the week Sept. 18 with Fiesta on the Green, which they have been doing since 2008. They continue to use it as a way to celebrate Latino culture. LSU member Cruz Aleman, a junior, said more people came to the fiesta than he had expected. He said the support coincides with issues America is currently facing. “The best way to unite people is with food for sure,” Aleman said. “A lot of the issues we face in our current time period have a lot to do with immigration and Hispanic Heritage Month, more support we have for that is even better.” The fiesta was held on University Green, with a DJ playing Hispanic music, including mariachi, bachata, reggaeton and pop songs. Attendees chose from a buffet of tacos, churros and fried rice, with avocados and other condiments.

All Ball State professionals involved in handling sexual violence cases are “well-trained” and “take seriously the responsibility to shield the victim’s identity,” Bales said. Hargrave said an overwhelming number of sexual assault reports occur between people who know each other — often involving alcohol or other drug use. “We strongly encourage the reporting of sexual assaults and have many campus resources available to assist,” Hargrave said. If a student was grabbed as they walked through a campus parking lot and was sexually assaulted by an

unknown person who then fled, the university would issue an emergency alert— sexual assault falls under the Clery Act, the crime occurred on campus and the attacker fled, so they could still pose a risk to campus, Hargrave said. However, if the attacker was caught by police immediately and was in custody, an alert may not be issued because there isn’t a continuing threat. The university may just send out a Public Safety Advisory to remind students to be safe. If the crime does not occur on campus property, then a Public Safety Advisory would not be issued.

something that someone isn’t afraid to talk about,” Thomas said. “This conversation is about love and unity. This conversation is about the brotherhood and sisterhood of this country that we have failed to lose over the course of all these killings.” ETA Secretary Shay Stewart said when ETA holds peaceful marches, it’s because they want to raise awareness. “Muncie is a great little town, but we are also in the middle of Indiana cornfield, and it’s important that we don’t allow the bubble of Ball State or the bubble of the Midwest to get so comfortable that we forget to pay attention to and show our support for causes and issues larger than our own personal experiences,” Stewart said.

Village welcomes new businesses Two shops open, 1 moves to more prominent location HALIE COPE GENERAL REPORTER | hmcope@bsu.edu The Village is going through some restructuring with the addition of a pizzeria and apparel printing business, as well as a new location for an old tanning salon. ScreenBroidery, an apparel printing shop, opened for business in August in the old Dill Street Bar and Grill location. Owner Tom Rector said he opened his Muncie loca-

tion because he is already familiar with the city and knew college students would be a great market. His goal is for ScreenBroidery to become known as the apparel company that creates cool products, is reliable and is able to work in short time frames. It features on-demand t-shirt printing. “People can come in and we can make it on the spot for them — it could be ready in just minutes for them,” Rector said. Business has been going well for ScreenBroidery, Rector said. Between student groups, special events and sorority recruitment, the store has had a steady stream of customers in the

last few weeks. The business even offers services for people wanting to start their own clothing line by allowing them to purchase products as they are ordered rather than producing them in bulk. T-shirts aren’t the only things ScreenBroidery produces though. Rector said some of the other options include fanny packs, mugs and hats. Rector said he is open to working with customers on specific orders, and he is enjoying seeing the new clothing styles that are emerging. “I am not terribly old, but I have been out of college for a while now and the things that were cool are not cool anymore,” Rector said. “It is nice to have a refresher on the trends.” Sunsations Tanning, previously located on North Martin Street, is moving to 1712 W. University Ave. “We moved down the street to University because we feel it is a much more prominent location and also allowed us to expand,” owner Andy Goth said. Sunsations Tanning’s business was doing well before, but the new loca-

tion allows Goth to expand his business, as well as have a longer lease, he said. “We are just excited for the move and to get everyone in here,” Goth said. HotBox Pizza, an Indianapolis-based restaurant chain, is opening its first Muncie location in the space vacated by Sunsations Tanning. Owner Bryan Flynn said he decided to open in the Village because of its proximity to Ball State. “HotBox has always done well in college towns, and Muncie was one [college town] that had not been tapped into yet,” Flynn said. “We are open ‘til after the bars close to provide people that have the late night munchies with food.” The building is being completely renovated to make it more like a restaurant and less like a tanning salon, he said. After it is gutted, the building will have a full kitchen in the back and a seating area for 50 or 60 customers. HotBox Pizza restaurants typically have a more industrial look, using brick, concrete and metal in the construction, Flynn said. He plans to stick to this for

the Muncie location. Flynn said he plans on being involved in the community and hopes to help with fundraisers in the area. He said he is excited to work with the Greek community and school system. HotBox is expected to open at the beginning of November. “We are excited to serve Ball State and the local Muncie community,” Flynn said.

Rafael Domenech, owner of Greek’s Pizzeria, said he isn’t concerned about competition from HotBox. Domenech said he welcomes everybody to the Village and that new businesses add to Muncie. “It’s all good for the city, Village, Ball State and Muncie,” Domenech said. “[I’m] glad everything is growing and am happy to be a part of this.”

CHIRPFEST TAKES OVER VILLAGE Students hope to make festival annual tradition

KAYINSOLA AJAYI FACES REPORTER kiajayi@bsu.edu

The line to get into the first-ever ChirpFest wrapped around the block the Saturday night. The electronic dance music festival on North Dill Street attracted about 3,500 people, said organizer Darius Norwood and partner Alex Smith. Eight different musicians

and DJs from Muncie and Fort Wayne performed for ChirpFest attendees. The crowd danced to the music, sang along, played with beach balls and watched fire breathers. Students could grab snacks from an El Paraiso Mexican Grill and Bar food truck or a drink at a bar if they were of age. Ball State students Norwood and Chris Cammack created ChirpFest and worked for months to bring their idea to life. They stayed busy throughout the night and could be found on stage, directing their team of over

30 people or occasionally talking to attendees. “It is so surreal right now. When I got on stage for the first time, I almost shed tears,” Norwood said. He mentioned that it had been his dream to bring a festival to Muncie since his sophomore year. The two promoted the festival with bus advertisements, t-shirts and social media posts. Ashley Williams, a senior journalism major, said that’s part of how she heard about ChirpFest. “I follow [Norwood] online and heard about it,” she said.

“Then I started seeing the fliers all over Muncie.” Chris Seibert, a sophomore telecommunications digital video production major and attendee, is a fan of electronic dance music. Seibert showed up to ChirpFest with a group of friends at 6 p.m., the beginning of the festival. “At first, there were only like 20 people, but over the night more people [came],” he said. Cammack and Norwood received some help with ChirpFest by partnering with BAALS, a company that hosts music festivals in Fort Wayne. “[Cammack] and [Norwood] had this idea, and we just helped them develop it,” Smith, co-founder of BAALS, said. He commended the duo for the work they put in to promote it. The two hope to make ChirpFest a Ball State tradition that occurs once a semester. Some attendees supported this idea. “If they do this annually, I am pretty sure I will be back,” Williams said.

Recently, hoverboards, as they’re commonly referred to, have been showing up around campus and are being sold by the people who organized ChirpFest. The boards operate like a Segway, but lack the pole and handles.

Motorized boards come to campus Transportation invention appears in shows, videos

ALEXANDRA SMITH GENERAL REPORTER ajsmith9@bsu.edu

Bikes are cumbersome, longboards require practice and walking is slow work. Then there is the self-balancing board. Often called hoverboards, these futuristic-looking contraptions lack the ability to actually lift riders from the ground. Instead, they operate much like a Segway, but without the trademark pole and—it seems—the stigma. Celebrities like Justin Bieber have posted videos of themselves using the hoverboard, but the boards have started showing up on Ball State sidewalks as well. “It’s weird seeing them around,” said Mikaela McMillen, a senior ceramics major. “The last three years, they haven’t been present at all.” The boards are a fairly recent invention. Chic Robotics, a Chinese company, released one in 2014. However, Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban said he owns the design, and Segway, Inc., is claiming ownership of the motor technology.

It’s no wonder that businesses are clamoring to claim responsibility for the scooter. The boards have been appearing on television shows and in YouTube reviews since they were showcased at VidCon in July. Although self-balancing boards aren’t specifically mentioned in Ball State’s motor vehicle regulations, skateboards are prohibited, according to the document. The people who organized ChirpFest, the student-run electronic dance music festival that took place in the Village Saturday, have sold many of the boards seen on campus. In order to help with promotion of the boards, ChirpFest has a sponsorship with a company called Skywalkers, said Denver McQuaid, a ChirpFest volunteer and hoverboard owner. ChirpFest has sold 13 boards so far. The Skywalker scooters can hold up to 300 pounds, and go up to 10 miles per hour. Other brands advertise different but similar speeds and rider weights. The scooters must be charged for an average of two to three hours, and, once charged, can travel for 8-12 miles. This can fluctuate depending on the rider’s weight, as well as how fast

the rider is typically going. Riding one isn’t as hard as it may seem. “It’s all in the ankles,” McQuaid said. “You can learn the basics in about five minutes.” To go forward, the rider puts weight on the toes, and to go backward, the heels. Turning involves putting weight on the directional foot: left goes left, right goes right. “They look really cool, but the price makes them seem unnecessary,” said Hannah Snider, a freshman travel and tourism major. Snider’s concerns are not unfounded—normally. The boards sold by the ChirpFest crew and other models typically sell for $1,000$1,200. There are cheaper models, but those are more likely to break. Students can buy the boards at half the original price from ChirpFest because of their sponsorship with Skywalkers. An additional discount is given to students as well, McQuaid said. The boards can have a practical purpose as well. “I wanted one for fun, but I also wanted it to have a practical purpose that would make the price worth it,” McQuaid said. “I use it for filmmaking; it’s very useful on set and very quiet.”
