LETTER TO THE EDITOR A truck carrying new artwork for the David Owsley Museum of Art caught fire early last week while in transport from New York. Most of the art was packed in the front of the truck, so there was no substantial damage to the pieces.

Truck carrying art catches fire before arriving at David Owsley Museum of Brynn Mechem SGA Reporter Pieces of art for the David Owsley Museum of Art’s upcoming exhibit didn’t arrive quite as expected.

While en route to the museum, the truck carrying the new artwork caught fire early last week. The pieces were headed for a brand new exhibit at the museum entitled “SHIFT.” The truck was coming from New York when the back end suddenly caught fire, said Rachel Buckmaster, the Assistant Director of the Museum of Art. Most of the art was packed near the front of the truck, so there was no substantial damage to the pieces.

CARDINALS TRAVEL TO EAST COAST

Ball State set to face off against Harvard, Sacred Heart Hendrix Magley Men’s Volleyball Reporter Ball State men’s volleyball travels to Massachusetts and Connecticut this weekend for matches against Harvard University and Sacred Heart University.

The No. 13 Cardinals play the Harvard Crimson at 7 p.m. today and then travel almost three hours south for a match against the Sacred Heart Pioneers at 7 p.m. Saturday.

Ball State has played Harvard each the last three years and is 2-1 in those matches, with the one loss coming on the Crimsons’ home court in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

“The last time we played at Harvard, we just never got comfortable and never got into any rhythm,” head coach Joel Walton said. “Part of that is because they run a very fast tempo set, so they put pressure on your defense.”

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

PSA hosts a protest against Inauguration of President Trump On Jan. 20 at 12 p.m. I will be walking out of class and heading to the University Green as a mild act of civil disobedience. My intentions are to show my classmates who will be disproportionately affected by the incoming regime that I will risk my security to fight for theirs.

Martin Luther King Jr., in his famous “Letter from a Birmingham Jail,” gave an indictment against those moderate whites who would sit in their homes watching the Civil Rights Movement from their couches rather than experiencing it in the streets. For people like me (straight, cis, white men) the most negligent action we can take against our neighbors, and ourselves, is inaction.

Must we wait until we are sick and without healthcare to be spurred into action? Must we wait until the women we love and care for are openly harassed before we actively denounce misogyny? Must we wait until the sky is thick with fog, our rivers and water supplies with oil,and our oceans with waste before we take a stand to protect our environment?

I say we cannot afford to wait. We must take action today to ensure that Ball State is a safe and welcoming place for all of our friends and neighbors and to uphold the values of inclusion, opportunity and cooperation on our campus. When we think of the impending loss of healthcare for millions, we must ask Ball State to reallocate the excessive portions of our tuition that fund our sport programs

into fulfilling their promise of 12 free counseling sessions for everyone who needs it. When we think of the millions of immigrants, people of color, women, and queer community members whose safety in our communities will be at risk, we must ask Ball State to uphold its promise of diversity and inclusion at more than a symbolic level.

Across the nation we can see that the interests of the richest are being championed over those of the everyday citizen. The pandering to big money donors can be seen all the way down our government systems: from state governments and even all the way to university administrations. We must hold Ball State accountable and ask for quality education and access to health services over $6-million-dollar practice courts.

If these sentiments resonate with you, I hope you will join me in walking out on Inauguration Day. If you are burning with the desire to take action, now is the time to make your voice heard. This act will serve as an inspiration to others of like mind, who genuinely care for others regardless of their race, class or gender, to join together in a fight to preserve the evervalued ideals of inclusion, opportunity, and cooperation.

Together, we can ensure that our campus embodies these ideals even if our country’s leaders don’t.

RATING: Upon first seeing the trailer for the new horror film, "The Bye Bye Man," it gave the impression that the Bye Bye Man himself would be a stalkeresque figure that preyed on the main cast. This is not exactly the case, as the ominous Bye Bye Man is little more than an underdeveloped shadow of more EMILY threatening and iconic horror characters.

REUBEN The film features three remarkably is a junior dull college students seeking to rent a telecommunihome near their college campus. Playing cations major off of the “old, creepy house” trope, the and acts as three settle on a comically large home to the Reviews inhabit during the school year, and soon Editor for enough scary hijinks ensue.

Byte. You can The cause of these strange events contact Emily stems from a supernatural creature at edreuben@ simply known as the Bye Bye Man. bsu.edu His shtick is simply to drive those who say his name into insanity. His power grows when his name is uttered, prompting the saying, “don’t think it, don’t say it”, which becomes progressively more irritating as it is repeated throughout the film.

At least, this is what is initially presented as the plot.

The rampant inconsistencies and lack of explanation regarding the scope and extent of the Bye Bye Man’s powers leads to more questions than scares.

"The Bye Bye Man" fails to feature a threatening villain — so what else is there to hold the audience’s attention? Certainly not the poorly written characters.

The main cast is as bland as they are forgettable, complimented by acting on par with the writing.

Many of these flaws could be excused if there was a spark of originality brought to the screen. There is nothing in this film that hasn’t been done better in more imaginative titles. "The Bye Bye Man" simply piggybacks off of genre tropes and plot devices utilized in more successful horror films. With terrible, bordering on hilarious writing, it is difficult to imagine any way in which this film could not be presented as uninspired.

With little in the way of continuity, character or originality, "The Bye Bye Man" ends up feeling like a cheap attempt to cash in on its Friday the 13th release date, rather than an ambitious entry into the horror genre.

It’s hard to determine what the worst part of The Bye Bye Man truly is, but I believe most viewers can agree the film’s most frightening aspect is its allusion to a sequel.

David Owsley Museum of Art Facebook // Photo Courtesy

Some pieces of art shipped from New York for the David Owsley Museum of Art sustained a smoky film after the truck transporting the artwork caught fire early last week. The pieces will be displayed in the “SHIFT” exhibition, which will open today and remain open until May 7.

“There was a bit of a moment when our fingers were crossed hoping that there was no damage,” Buckmaster said. “We feel very luck that there wasn’t.”

Some pieces sustained a smoky film.

However, the artists were waiting at the museum and were able to supervise the cleaning of the works.

Because the art was coming from New York, the museum used U.S. Art to ship the products.

“They have been really great,” Buckmaster said. “They got the fire out and sent a rescue shipping truck to bring everything to us.”

While none of the pieces were destroyed, the cleaning process did set the museum timeline back a couple days.

“It’s kind of funny because the exhibition is called ‘SHIFT’,” Buckmaster said. “We’ve had to go with the flow a lot with this exhibit and this is just one of the many things we’ve had to go through.”

The exhibit opens today and will remain open until May 7. It was curated

by Lisa Banner, a New York City artist who is an expert in Spanish drawings.

The exhibition is designed to interpret and challenge one’s perception of themselves and others through space, identity and transparency.

It will feature the work of Jongil Ma, Christopher Smith and Corban Walker.

The artists will all return throughout the semester to give talks based on their work.

JOSEPH LOSCO RETIRES

Political science chair retires after 14 years in position

Michelle Kaufman Greek Life Reporter Joseph Losco, who served as the chair of the political science department for 14 years and director of the Bowen Center for Public Affairs, retired over winter break.

“He was the definition of someone you’d want to JOSEPH work for or with,” said Isaac LOSCO Miller.

The freshman political science major interned at the Bowen Center during his senior year of high school. Losco spent that year mentoring and teaching Miller about a variety of topics, such as political participation, voting and polling data.

“He gave me invaluable experience and opened my eyes to the field of political science,” Miller said. “I remember him as always willing to make even the most complicated of subjects fun for me and interesting to learn. He taught me the true value of political participation and trying to affect what goes on in your own community, which really defines what I hope to do in my future life and career.”

“

He truly engaged the room, leveraged his great sense of humor and was a fantastic storyteller,” — Stephen Jendraszak

A Ball State professor since 1983, Losco focused his classes on political theory and American government. He has contributed to government textbooks and videos and served in several national leadership positions, including the Executive Research Board of the International Political Science Association’s Committee for Biology and Politics.

As an undergraduate, Stephen Jendraszak took an undergraduate class, Early Western Political Thought, with Losco for his minor in political science before graduating with a journalism degree in 2005.

“Dr. Losco was an extremely compelling and effective lecturer,” Jendraszak said. “He truly engaged the room, leveraged his great sense of humor and was a fantastic storyteller.

“I had great experiences during my time at Ball State — in journalism, history, English, economics, the Honors College, and at the Virginia Ball Center — but that class was probably the single most intellectually stimulating of my whole college career.”

When Jendraszak returned to Ball State several years later to work on his master’s degree, he only had room in his schedule for one elective.

“I knew from the beginning it would be the follow-up to that political science course, so I’d have one more chance to experience Dr. Losco’s work in the classroom,” Jendraszak said. “I’m sorry future Cardinals won’t have that chance.”

Sherif Attallah’s first immersive learning project will conclude this semester with the installation of three solar panels on top of the Applied Technology Building. The panels will power a TV and an iPad in a display case inside the building, showing what solar power can do.

Students create solar energy circuit for Applied Technology Building Michelle Kaufman Greek Life Reporter Sherif Attallah’s first immersive learning project took place last semester and will soon conclude with the installation of three solar panels on top of the Applied Technology Building.

The assistant professor of construction management approached six students with the project, and they got to decide where the panels would be placed and what system would run the panels. The panel will power a display case within the building that will show what solar power can do via a TV and an iPad. “We also will have phone charging cables, and the whole point of the case is to put on display the system all together so people can see it as a whole,” said Nathan Bullock, a senior industry and technology major.

Before the project, solar panels had never been installed on Ball State’s campus, aside from a universityowned barn off-campus. The team started with a $2,000 grant, which mostly went toward the display case. Students in the class were able to get the panels and other needed components donated.

Attallah wants his students to go to other schools in Muncie to talk about their project and educate the community on solar energy.

“I think, all together, our goal is to teach people more about solar energy and spread more awareness,” Bullock said. “The whole point of this is to show that solar energy can power this simple display, and if it can power this simple display, then on a grander scale, then you can power things that are more prominent in your daily life.”

Attallah also wants more people

to learn and think about using solar energy for homes or businesses.

“It was like a real project, doing something hands-on, doing some research,” Attallah said. “I like to have direct conversations with students — what are they interested about, what’s their favorite things, subjects and so on. I approached those six students and they agreed [to work on the project].”

Ball State’s facilities department will install the panels sometime during this semester.

In the future, Attallah would like to build on this project and apply for grants to get solar panels on the Delaware County building and install some on a community center.

Student arrested on felony drug charge Andrew Smith & Lauren Delorenzo Crime Reporters A Ball State student residing in Johnson Complex was arrested Saturday over multiple charges relating to the dealing and possession of illegal substances.

The 19-year-old, Christopher Campi of Fishers, is facing one felony and four misdemeanor criminal charges. The charges include dealing marijuana, possession of a controlled substance, possession of paraphernalia and dealing a schedule I drug.

The charges came after a strong odor of marijuana was detected on the second floor of the residence hall.

The University Police Department dispatched officers to investigate and were led to Campi’s room.

When asked if anything was in the room, Campi gave “two glass smoking devices containing burnt plant material” to the officers, according to a probable cause affidavit. Campi also handed over a plastic bag of plant material, as well as several cake-like edibles from his fridge.

Officers conducted a search of the room, which resulted in the discovery of more marijuana, THC wax, THC butter, un-prescribed scheduled pills, more edibles, multiple packets of LSD, a scale and additional drug paraphernalia.

Officers said the marijuana collected from Campi’s room weighed approximately 55.8 grams.

Before Campi was transported to the police department, an officer found an additional piece of aluminum foil containing LSD in Campi’s pocket.

During an interview with police, Campi also told officers that he sold marijuana, LSD and edibles on campus.

Campi is being held in the Delaware County Jail on a $14,500 bond.

Cornerstone offers new, creative classes Jannell Summers // Photo Provided

Local DJs Jannell Summers and Lavonte Pugh will perform at an event called Dance This Mess Around Saturday at Mark III Taproom. The event was organized by Summers and Pugh to help connect students with downtown Muncie.

DANCE

Continued from page 1 After leaving Ball State, Summers was busy juggling day jobs, and in 2008 she worked her first official gig as a DJ for a friend’s wedding.

She loved it.

In order to advance her DJing career, she continued to work during the week and performed at weddings on the weekend.

The now-34-year-old DJ works every Friday night at the Fickle Peach, but she does not just rely on the community to visit the bar.

At the beginning of one of her performances, Summers’ controller, a device necessary for her shows, broke.

Because she had recently spent her savings on a new house, Summers was in no position to purchase a new one and had to max out a credit card in order to buy it.

With all of her emergency money spent, she was left to wonder if it was time to find a more steady job.

“I didn’t whine a lot. I mentioned it to a couple people, I was like ‘man, this is rough, I really hope I get some more gigs,’” Summers said.

Eventually, however, she received a surprise donation of $800 that had been raised by the community to pay off her credit card.

She had always enjoyed playing locally for the exposure and familiar faces, but now it feels even more personal.

“I’m always like stoked when it feels like the bars are a little bit busier when I’ve been playing, because it feels like I’ve done something significant besides just play records,” she said.

The community has helped her in more ways than that. Living in a small city makes networking easier, and if it weren’t for the small community, she might have not been introduced to Pugh.

Summers first met Pugh when they

were working in separate rooms at a Halloween event. She had never gotten the chance to work with him until he was pushed by their mutual friend to reach out to her.

Pugh, who is a junior at Ball State and is majoring in audio telecommunications, has been interested in music since he joined his middle school’s band. He began producing music in high school and has been DJing for about five years.

With the help of his friends, Pugh has come a long way from playing DJ video games like "DJ HERO 2" and "Magix Music Maker."

Pugh works under the artist name SPACExLION and has done most of his DJing in The Village. He is also currently running Ball State’s Electronic Dance Music Collective club.

“Participation in that organization further spurred me on and became a constant source of inspiration and helpful criticism,” Pugh said. “Now I run the EDMC and I hope to do that for other aspiring producers.”

When he was encouraged to reach out to Summers, Pugh was not yet 21, so it was difficult to get gigs downtown.

Once Summers found out that Pugh had turned 21, she reached out to Mark III Taproom to try and create this event.

Summers is hoping to create an atmosphere that is similar to an event in Indianapolis called Real Talk.

“It’s just like a big celebratory dance thing and they play all kinds of music. That’s just really what I want to emulate here, like maybe not rip them off, but very much imitate for sure,” Summers said.

Summers and Pugh hope to bring the Muncie and Ball State communities together with this event — communities that have inspired and given them a place to feel at home.

Ball State men’s volleyball won against the Saint Francis Red Flashes 3-0 on Jan. 12 in Worthen Arena. The Cardinals will travel to Massachusetts and Connecticut on Friday and Saturday for road matches against Harvard University and Sacred Heart University.

VOLLEYBALL

Continued from page 1

Harvard is 0-2 this season, but both losses were against two ranked opponents, No. 8 Lewis and No. 9 Loyola-Chicago.

“We can’t just look at Harvard’s record and see that they’re 0-2 and think that it’s going to be an easy match, because it won’t,” Walton said.

“It’s always harder to serve tough in someone else’s gym, and sometimes it can be difficult to pass and get into your offense as well.”

The Crimson are led by senior outside hitter Casey White, who leads the team with 18 kills and averages 2.25 kills per set.

“What Casey White does is he will move the ball around a lot and you’re not really sure where he’s going to go,” Walton said. “He’s a hard player to scout because of that, so that’s going to be a challenge.”

Sacred Heart is 2-0 on the season with both wins coming against North Greenville. Ball State has won its last eight matches against Sacred Heart, but four of the eight matches have gone at least four sets.

“They’re a competitive team, and when you put a lot of travel on your team and step into someone else’s gym, it gets hard to be successful on another team’s court,” Walton said.

The Pioneers are led by senior right side hitter Christopher DeLucie, who has 13 kills on the season.

“When we played them here at home last year, [DeLucie] was a very physical and aggressive player,” Walton said.

“He’s somebody that we’re going to have to pay attention to and do a good job on.”

The Cardinals were led by a solid offensive attack in their two wins against St. Francis and No. 15 Penn State in the Shondell Active Ankle Challenge. Walton said a lot of that is thanks to senior setter Connor Gross, who is becoming used to setting for this group of players.

“As we get more familiar with each other and go through different situations, Connor is getting better at knowing who will play confident in some of the more pressured situations that we’re going to get into,” Walton said.
