If I recall, you weren’t truly a college student at Ball State, though, until you snuck out after hours and kissed your girl under Benny’s wings,”

KENT, Ohio — Freshman Ball State forward Sam Kambol sprinted toward the Kent State goal after corralling the ball near midfield. She could’ve waited for her teammates, but instead she took it down the left side of the field. It was the 96th minute of the game — overtime — and the Mid-American Conference plays sudden-death overtime. Kambol split a couple of defenders to move into the box, and with a stutter step she flicked the ball right around one more. Surrounded by three defenders, she sent the ball towards the net with her right foot. Golden goal. Ball State (13-3-2, 8-1-1 MAC) won 2-1 to move back on top of the Mid-American Conference with one game left in the season. “I almost had a light switch in my head go off because I had been struggling with [waiting too long] a few games, and when I got that ball I was just determined to go to goal,” Kambol said. Head coach Craig Roberts said Kambol, who is now tied for the team league with five goals this season, was “in her element.” See SOCCER, page 3

enis Harris, a 1968 Ball State alumnus, walked through the doors of Williams Hall in Noyer Complex on Saturday with a look of both astonishment and nostalgia. “Oh wow, this has really changed,” Harris said. “This has changed so much, my word.” Harris, who lived in Williams Hall from 1964 to 1968, had been back to the university before, but never to revisit his “old home.” With Ball State’s 2016 Homecoming, however, Harris teamed up with his friend, 1969 alumnus Dan Molinaro, to bring a group of their friends and former Noyer residents back to Muncie. The goal, Harris said, was to bring the men together one more time before it was “too late.”
Hey — do you remember when we stuffed the RA’s room with newspapers? They couldn’t even open their door, it was so full of crumpled paper.” — Larry Gregorash, 1968 graduate

New Johnson Complex construction on time $40 million renovation project on schedule to open for Fall 2017 students Allie Kirkman Assistant News Editor Renovations for Schmidt/Wilson halls in the Johnson West Complex (formerly called Johnson B) are coming along nicely with construction on schedule. The Schmidt/Wilson halls, named for two former professors — Angie Wilson, associate professor of social science, and Fred J. Schmidt, professor and head of the industrial arts — was originally opened in 1969 and has not been renovated since 1998. In August 2015, Ball State’s Board of Trustees
approved the more than $40 million renovation project for the dorm that started in the beginning of May 2015. Expectations for the long-term plan to renovate and upgrade the housing complex during that time were expected to be completed by Fall 2017, but Housing and Residence Life is now reporting that the building will be completed by June 2017. “The building renovation is on schedule and we expect to receive the building in June from the contractor so we can clean and prepare the building, as well as install the furnishings, for an August 2017 move in,” George Edwards, associate director of facilities for housing and residence life, said in an email.
