BRINGING DRAWINGS

TO LIFE Adam Pannel | Reporter

Fire-breathing dragons, exotic, gray scribble cats and pink, fuzzy puffballs — wacky creations that could only occupy the imaginations of children and the space on the home refrigerator — are being brought to life in glass for Minnetrista’s new exhibit.

The exhibit, Imagine in Glass, which kicked off Oct. 13 and will run through Jan. 6, showcases 14 unique glass pieces all made at Ball State’s Marilyn K Glick Center for Glass and based off of a child-submitted drawing.

The creations that popped off the page and became frozen in glass are colorful and different, but associate professor of art Brent Cole said it wasn’t as easy as one may think taking a child’s drawing and forming it into a glass sculpture.

Ball State Cardinal Kitchen crowdfunding to move out of Multicultural Center Sara Barker Reporter

Trevor Millspaugh gathers food for a client in Cardinal Kitchen’s nine-by-12 foot stockroom in the Multicultural Center. Cardinal Kitchen is currently crowdfunding to relocate to a different space. SARA BARKER, DN from the Student Government Association for the first time since the pantry’s founding in 2015, Koby said.

“We have split off to a single organization,” the junior public relations major said.

Last year, SGA allotted $6,500 out of its own budget to fund Cardinal Kitchen and then in April voted to donate an additional $6,500 to the organization for the 2018-19 school year.

The donation is not in the SGA budget for this school year.

Cardinal Kitchen accepts non-perishable items, fruit, vegetables and toiletries as donations to the pantry. Those in need of services can visit Tuesdays from 5-8 p.m.

EMILY WRIGHT, DN

When Mathias Miles was growing up, his family occasionally used food pantries. Now, as a volunteer in Cardinal Kitchen, the sophomore telecommunications major is paying back the favor.

“I feel a responsibility to help in whatever way I can,” Miles said.

But, in Cardinal Kitchen’s stockroom, helping is not always easy — volunteers work over top one another to put together bags of supplies for clients.

The room on the second floor of the Multicultural Center is about nine-by-12 feet. Even with fans and 55 degree weather outside, the room is sweltering.

“Toward the beginning of the year, it’s super hot up there,” Miles said.

Since the room is so small, Miles and other volunteers have to regularly restock it from the center’s basement while clients are waiting on the first floor. That is, if they don’t bump their heads on the narrow, shallow staircases in the process.

It’s some of these reasons that Cardinal Kitchen is crowdfunding $2,000 to move into a new space.

Last school year, Cardinal Kitchen saw 570 clients and had a total of 1,328 visits to the pantry, up from 980 visits the previous school year, according to its crowdfunding website.

“It really is students helping other students,” Miles said.

Though Cardinal Kitchen has wanted to relocate for years, executive director and secondary math education junior McKenna Myers said the organization’s growing clientele has spurred the funding push.

“The need has just become more of an attentionpuller for us,” Myers said.

Cardinal Kitchen’s Student Government Association representative Caroline Koby said the organization is still looking for a new space to occupy on campus. According to the crowdfunding website, the basement of the L.A. Pittenger Student Center is an option, but Koby said nothing is official yet.

Not only would the potential new space be bigger, but it might allow the pantry to give out refrigerated food and grant its clients more anonymity, according to the crowdfunding site.

So far, the fundraiser has $856, with donations from some Ball State faculty and professional staff, like Assistant Director of Housing and Residence Life for Marketing and Communications and Technology Chris Wilkey, Associate Vice President of Strategy and Advancement Services Lola Mauer and Director of Student Life Jim Hague.

Crowdfunding isn’t the only change in finances for Cardinal Kitchen. After Ball State reached a settlement with Students for Life in September, activity fee policies for student organizations updated.

Now, Cardinal Kitchen receives no funding

LLOYD

Continued from Page 01 “He loves all of the people, he’s just a social animal,” said Jody Mason, Lloyd’s owner. She said the friendly cat loves to receive constant pets and affection from students.

Mason has owned Lloyd for eight years. After arriving on her doorstep at the age of three, the Mason family decided to take Lloyd in. He’s been living near campus for more than a year after the Mason family moved from Jay County.

After being picked up by campus police and spending a weekend in the animal shelter, Jody decided to add a collar to Lloyd with a QR code leading to his Instagram page, which contains several pictures and videos.

And while Mason is happy to let Lloyd roam, she said she worries about his safety at night especially since he was once found near Noyer Complex, which is a 10 to 15 minute walk from where he usually resides.

“We’ve started to keep him in more at night.

The locals and the students can get a little speedy on some streets when there are very little pedestrians,” Mason said.

Hannah Hill, a freshman journalism major, said safety is something she worries about with her pets, too.

GLASS

Continued from Page 03 “Even though these kids’ drawings are simple, when they start to add limbs and appendages translating it to glass becomes difficult,” Cole said.

The kids and parents alike were invited weeks ago to watch their drawings come to life at the Glick Center.

They watched as a narwhal paralyzed on page now tore through the air with its crystallized horn, and a pod of whales now beat their fins against an invisible current as they swam into reality.

This is Imagine in Glass’ second year at Minnetrista, and while the exhibit focuses on unleashing the imagination, Discovery and

“I have two cats and we usually don’t let them roam around, we’re scared for their safety.”

Although he does not have a fixed schedule, Mason said Lloyd is an early morning cat who likes to go out and start his day between 6:307:30 a.m. He usually returns home around noon or early evening.

“When I saw Lloyd for the first time I automatically assumed he was lost, as others thought,” said Sophia Boeckstiegel, a freshman fashion merchandising major. “I have a pet Maltese named Jaxin so petting Lloyd brings back a feeling of nostalgia. It’s also very therapeutic because a lot of students are occasionally stressed.”

Some high schools and hospitals are known to have integrated “pet therapy,” a way for patients to cope with stress and depression through petting and cuddling various pets. Mason said she hopes Lloyd can help students as well.

“He is known to go to people who are in distress. If someone’s upset in the house, he will go towards that person and he will love on them and rub on them and want to be around those people,” Mason said.

While winter is approaching and temperatures are dropping, Lloyd will still be roaming around.

“He loves the snow, he would jump and play in the snow like a kid,” Mason said.

Engagement Manager at Minnetrista Ashley Mann hopes people come away with more knowledge about Indiana’s glass history as well.

“We want the community to know that glass is part of the heritage of this region, and that’s why we do glass at Minnetrista, and that’s part of the reason why they do glass at Ball State,” Mann said. “We want people to realize that, and see that it’s still happening here. It didn’t leave when the industry left. People are still doing it.”

Kids will be able to pick up their drawings and glass renditions of their work after the exhibit is over, but Cole hopes to make this a biannual event, so more Ball State students and kids can get the chance to bring their dreams to life.

Ball State named Institution of the Year

Those registered to vote can can do so within their district before Election Day Nov. 6, 2018. Early voting can help alleviate long lines on Election Day.

The Indiana Society of Chicago chose Ball State due to its rebranding success and centennial celebrations.

Hannah Gunnell Reporter The Indiana Society of Chicago will name Ball State as the 2018 University of the Year at its annual gala dinner Dec. 1 in Chicago, according to a press release issued by the organization.

Ball State President Geoffrey Mearns will attend the dinner and accept the award on behalf of the university.

“It’s a recognition by a group of people in Chicago of the growth and the increasing impact of our university,” Mearns said. “From humble beginnings a hundred years ago, the impact of our university now spreads beyond east central Indiana to clear across the country and sometimes around the world.

I think that shows the influence of our programs and our graduates who produced this recognition.”

The Indiana Society of Chicago chose Ball State to receive award because of its centennial and rebranding success, said Scott Bove, the president of the foundation.

“We try to honor institutions and colleges that are [reaching] milestones or doing something unique over the course of the year that we are going to be honoring at the dinner,” Bove said.

“Obviously, with Ball State being in the centennial year, it seemed like a perfect fit this year.”

Ball State’s senior cabaret will perform with Sutton Foster, a Tony award-winning actress

President Geoffrey Mearns speaks at the last strategic planning meeting at the Ball Brothers Foundation Hospitality Suite in Emens Auditorium Oct. 18, 2018.

Mearns talked about the proposed plan for the unversity, which would run until 2040. PATRICK MURPHY, DN

and singer who now stars in the television show “Younger,” at the request of Mearns, Bove said.

“It’s one of the really cool, unique things going on at Ball State and we thought it would be cool to feature that –– to get it some additional exposure,” Bove said.

The cabaret will perform songs like “Every Time We Say Goodbye,” “I’m On My Way/ On My Way” and “Fly,” said Johnna Tavianini, one of the cabaret directors. The first two songs were arranged by Michael Rafter, and “Fly” was arranged last year by Michael Rafter and three alumni, Tavianini said.

What makes this performance special, Tavianini said, is that the students will perform with Foster and alumni. Mearns said he suggested the senior class cabaret perform at the gala because having that group perform would showcase the talent that Ball State has to offer.

“Sutton Foster is available to participate and Sutton has often assisted in educating and training those students, so we thought it would be a nice combination to have Sutton Foster to perform with the student cabaret at that event,” he said.

“It would give us the opportunity to showcase the extraordinary talent that exists all across our programs here at Ball State.”

Cabaret members said they were excited and thankful for the opportunity to perform with Foster.

“I’m really excited,” Paige Matteson said. “It’s always fun just to be able to go to an event with my best friends and sing with somebody who I listened to growing up and who was a huge inspiration [for me] when I was little, and get to sing along beside her –– it’s really awesome.”

Amanda Walker agreed.

“It’s a little reminder of how lucky we are to be in a program like this, that gives us these opportunities and pushes us to be able to go up and [perform] and not choke,” Walker said. “I think [Mearns is] a big part of the opportunities we’ve had this year. We’re pretty honored by that.”

Mearns said he would like to thank the Indiana Society of Chicago for giving Ball State this opportunity, and all the faculty, students and alumni who have made the opportunity possible.

“Being recognized in Chicago is a very appropriate recognition during our centennial,” Mearns said. “Thousands of our graduates live in the Chicago metropolitan area, and we continue to attract more and more students from the Chicago metropolitan area, so it’s an appropriate place and the appropriate time for Ball State to be recognized.”

Early voting lessens polling strain on Election Day Pauleina Brunnemer Reporter With Election Day coming up Nov. 6, registered voters have the option to skip the lines.

Early voting is a form of absentee voting that takes place in person at a County Clerk’s office in a voter’s registered county. In all 92 counties in Indiana, County Clerk’s offices offer in-person early voting leading up to Election Day. Kaitlyn Landers, co-commissioner in Delaware County, said the majority of people who vote early are poll workers. The amount of college students that take advantage of in-person early voting is small in Delaware County, she said.

Angie Nussmeyer, a co-director at the State House, said college students have multiple options when it comes to voting if they are registered. The student voting process is dependent on the address in which they are registered to vote, so a college student should not be registered to vote in their hometown and college town.

If a student is registered to vote in Delaware County, they may vote early at the Delaware County Clerk’s office, she said.

“If they kept their registration at home or wherever they lived in the state of Indiana, they have a couple of options available,” Nussmeyer said. “If they go

home to visit their family and the Clerk’s office has early voting available to them, they can go and take advantage of that in-person absentee.”

However, she said most students will vote by mail. If students choose this route, Nussmeyer said they should be sure to return their ballots back to their county election board no later than noon on Election Day. Because a fair amount of people vote early, Nussmeyer said the strain on polls is lessened on election day.

“It takes a lot of strain off of polling locations, strain of off poll workers and makes the process a lot more smooth for people who are voting on Tuesday, Nov. 6,” Nussmeyer said. “Also, the 28 days of early voting in the Clerk’s office, as well as the option to vote by mail and travel board makes voting convenient for all voters in the state.”

The Delaware County Clerk office, located at 100 W. Main, has an election room where inperson absentee voting occurs from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday. Additionally, the office will be open Saturday, Nov. 3, from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. The last day to early vote is Nov. 5, though the office will close at noon.

BEYOND THE

ROPES

Cardinals win sixth straight game A mid game goal by junior midfielder Peighton Cook proved to be enough as the Cardinals would lock up a 1-0 win over Eastern Michigan.

As his father lived his dream in the ring, freshman running back Tye Evans is following his on the field.

Jack Williams Sports Editor “LOSER! LOSER! LOSER!” Heckles from fans echoed in American Airlines Arena in Dallas, Texas, June 1, 2010, as Tyrone Evans, known as Michael Tarver to the WWE universe, addressed the fans about his “frustration” with the WWE after being eliminated from WWE’s NXT rookie contest.

While Evans was booed and heckled inside the ring at almost every WWE event, a 10-year-old Tye Evans could only sit there and listen to his dad be hounded by fans from Portland to Philadelphia, sometimes not even knowing if he should cheer for him.

“When I would go see my dad wrestle at WWE events, it was like I was on a fence,” Tye said. “He would go up against some of my favorite wrestlers and beat them, so I would sit there trying to think of who to cheer for. My dad, being the bad guy, or the other wrestler, being the good guy.”

As fans would continue to belittle his father, Tye, currently a freshman running back at Ball State, always had to remember that this was only a role his father was playing. In his time in World Wrestling Entertainment, Tyrone’s alter ego of Michael Tarver was a part of Nexus, a group made up of seven wrestlers aimed to antagonize the “good guys” on the WWE roster.

Back in Ohio, Tye would watch his dad on TV wrestle every Monday and Friday night, starstruck by the idea of seeing has dad on TV. When Tyrone did get time off from work, he would come home to massive amounts of attention from locals of his small suburb of Cleveland, but Tye knew his dad was there to see him.

“He would come to my games when he could, and when he showed up on the sideline, everyone flocked to him,” Tye said.

“He had a big role, so everyone recognized him. Sometimes I liked it when he got all this attention, but at the same time, he’s here to see me. When he does come and I get the chance to see him, it’s my time, but I also knew that he got that attention because this what his job was. I understood both sides of it.”

Tyrone valued all the time he could get with his son and family. After signing with the WWE in March of 2008, Tyrone was moved down to Florida and would not see his family again until December. As Tyrone rarely saw his family, the few times his family were able to make it to events were a part of some of his favorite experiences in the WWE. “They didn’t come down as much as I would’ve liked, but it was a lot of fun to get my children to the shows,” Tyrone said. “They got to meet some of the superstars there that they saw on TV, and it was surreal for them to see their daddy stand next to them.”

DREAM Continued from Page 07

As surreal as it was for Tye and his siblings to see their dad on TV, it was just a surreal that Tyrone had gotten this far. When Tyrone received his contract in 2008, he was homeless and at the time only five percent of those trying out to be in the WWE were offered a contract.

“I went from being homeless to be in Wrestlemania in a matter of months,” Tyrone said.

“Getting to the WWE and Wrestlemania is a super goal for a wrestler.”

For Tye, while he did grow up not seeing his dad a lot, seeing his father leave him to pursue his dream has taught Tye to do the same for his personal aspirations.

“My dad told me when I was 7 years old that he was going to chase his dream and provide for us,” Tye said. “He wanted to support us but chase his dream at the same time, and he’s inspired me to do what I want to do. Whether that’s pro football or being a missionary and keeping my family financially comfortable, that’s been my dream.

I’ve been taught to pursue your dreams no matter what anyone says.”

This mindset of following whatever dreams you may have has been engraved into Tyrone’s head since he was young. Like Tye, Tyrone was inspired by his father who was a professional boxer and football player.

“Seeing my dad fight and meeting all these professional boxers set a precedent in me that I could be something more than average,” Tyrone said. “In Tye seeing his grandfather box, myself wrestle in the WWE and his mother graduate from college, he believes that there is something special within him and that he is going to do something special.”

With his first season with the Cardinals a few weeks away from coming to a close, Tye believes he is in the right place to follow his dreams in playing football at a high level. Alongside lessons he has learned from his father, he has faith that his opportunities are endless.

“My original dream was to play basketball, but when I realized I was better at football, I took that and started running with it,” Tye said. “My dream is to be able to get to that platform, the same way my dad did and live that dream that I’ve been working toward.”

Faith.

It’s something Ball State’s Will Baker has plenty of to go around, and those around him have taken notice.

“He can’t help it because it’s such a big part of his life,” Ball State baseball head coach Rich Maloney said. “Whatever he does, he tries to add value to people, and he’s outstanding at that.”

A senior outfielder for the Cardinals, Baker is a member of the Student Leadership Team of Athletes in Action (AIA), the sports ministry of Cru on Ball State’s campus. AIA, present in more than 90 countries, exists to help studentathletes develop a personal relationship with God and incorporate their faith into their athletic performance.

Eric Knodel, local leader of Athletes in Action at Ball State, said student-athletes, especially at the collegiate level, are constantly under pressure, whether it be from parents, coaches or school. He said AIA alleviates some of the stress.

“For many people, competition is almost a matter of life and death,” Knodel said. “God wants us to give it our very best and glorify Him. But if we fail, He is still there loving and accepting us as much as He always did. It is important for people who are God’s children to know that.”

Baker took it a step farther, mentioning that there should be no tension from outside forces or fear of failure when performing.

“A big thing we emphasize in AIA is audience of one,” Baker said. “It’s like you’re just playing for Jesus and Christ. He’s the only audience that matters.”

Baker said he wants to become a pastor after he graduates, but it wasn’t until he began his transition into college that he discovered this life goal. AIA has helped him work toward making his ambition a reality, as he emcees weekly meetings and leads Bible study.

“It’s helped me tremendously, especially

MICHAELA KELLEY, DN working on speaking in front of people,” Baker said. “Public speaking is definitely something I struggled with from an early age. Now it’s a common thing I love and get excited about opposed to nervousness.”

Baker started his college career at Fort Scott Community College in Fort Scott, Kansas. After two years, he transferred to Ball State where he met Knodel. Baker had recently come off an AIA baseball tour, and after meeting, Knodel said he was quickly convinced Baker would make a great addition to the team.

“He really has great leadership abilities, and he has a real heart to follow the Lord and help others to know the Lord,” Knodel said. “Will is a fun guy and has really helped our organization here at BSU.” Stepping into a leadership role is nothing new for Baker. As a sophomore, he earned all-conference honors and in his first season with the Cardinals,

he started 50 of 58 games. Maloney said Baker gives off nothing but positive vibes and naturally improves the lives of others.

“When you have a person who has high integrity like Will does, who leads by example in everything he does, you gain the respect of your teammates,” Maloney said. “When you have a leader like that, and he’s all about the team, you make everybody better. He’s all about ‘we before me’ – that’s our motto. That’s who he is as a person. He puts others in front of himself, and I think that example attracts people to him.”

While Baker is a leader on the baseball team, a broken foot has forced him off the field for the majority of the fall.

Maloney said he knows it can be frustrating when a player can’t participate, but Baker has approached his situation in exemplary fashion with his head held high.

Audrey Bowers is a senior creative writing major and writes “Adult-ish” for The Daily News. Her views do not necessarily agree with those of the newspaper. Write to Audrey at albowers3@bsu.edu.

As a queer woman, I have to come out over and over again. This process can be exhausting, especially as I’ve come to realize straight people never have to come out.

When straight people “come out,” they are rarely serious. When straight people “come out,” they are often belittling the courage it

takes for a queer individual to come out in the first place.

Coming out becomes easier as time goes on. The process is like riding a bike; it takes practice and faith in yourself. As I’ve realized, the sky won’t fall after I reveal my true self to people, I have become more comfortable with disclosing my sexuality.

Other people may come out of the closet too because I helped them realize that it was a possibility.

When I come out, I either do so with caution or reckless abandon, depending

on who I am talking to. Since it can be a daunting process, I rarely come out to people in person. Instead, I do so in subliminal ways.

I come out online in Facebook statuses and tweets. I carry a phone with a rainbow colored case, hoping that someone will get the point. I also rave about queer music and literature, once again hoping someone figures Audrey Bowers it out. Instead of outwardly saying that I’m Columnist, queer, I do my best to present as such, which Adult-ish is difficult to say the least, as no two queer people are the same.

COMING OUT Continued from Page 09

The individuals who are accepting when I come out to them are usually part of the LGBTQ community themselves or identify as allies. Some do not necessarily throw hate in my direction, but are clearly uncomfortable when considering my queerness. Others are clearly not accepting of my sexuality, whether they tell me to go to hell or say that they love me and hate my sin.

I remember coming out as “questioning” to my mom in my senior year of high school. I say “questioning” because I wasn’t entirely sure how I wanted to label myself, but I had a gut feeling that I wasn’t straight. In the middle of the mall, I told my mom that “I might be gay” with tears streaming down my face. In the middle of Macy’s, she hugged me.

I thought I was safe and sound in that moment.

After we got in the car, she screamed at me, telling me that I was going to hell. She also mentioned that becoming involved with a woman romantically or sexually was me “settling,” and that I should wait for the right man and birth her grandchildren.

This was the first time I realized that coming out was a courageous act.

I remember coming out as bisexual to my RA during the winter of my sophomore year of college. After years of denying my interest in women, I realized that I couldn’t hide from my truth any longer. They were understanding and helped me process my feelings, more than I could say in regards to my mom.

After a year or so of reflecting after this, I began to identify myself as lesbian rather than bisexual. After that I felt all the more empowered, as I wasn’t attempting to please other people around me by mixing some straightness into my identity.

I remember coming out as lesbian on Facebook recently. After three years of not dating men and a few months of being romantically interested in women, I realized

EMILY W RIGHT, D N ILLUS TRATION

Stop sexual assault in its tracks this Halloween.

I had no real intention of dating men. When I think about where I want to end up someday, I see myself with a beautiful wife rather than a handsome husband.

In a sense, I knew my queerness all along, but I didn’t explore this aspect of my identity due to a combination of smalltown Indiana bigotry and internalized homophobia.

I wanted to tell the whole world, but froze every time I thought about telling someone either in person or over email. I didn’t want people to see me differently or to think of me as less of a person, writer or teacher.

More than anything though, I remember the times in which I didn’t mention my sexuality due to fear of how others would react. I know I am not alone in that feeling.

Someday, I hope to live in a world where no one is assumed to be straight.

The act of assuming someone is straight contributes to the heteronormative ideologies that we all have, whether conscious or not. The heteronormative society we live in is harmful to my community, because it leaves little room for individuals to figure their identity out for themselves.

I hope to live in a world where no one has to come out because all expressions of love are accepted. No one has to feel shameful because of who they are.

Coming out isn’t an entirely uncomfortable experience. As time goes by, I become more and more comfortable with the process of saying that I like girls instead of guys. By coming out again and again, I am refusing to be complicit in a heteronormative society.

Regardless of the reaction I get when I come out, I feel brave and proud of myself when I do. I’d rather face opposition than live a dishonest life.

SCARES FOR ALL AGES

Indy Scream Park haunts guests through indoor and outdoor attractions.

Adam Pannel Reporter In a tiny, wooden shack in the middle of the woods, piercing screams rattled the air.

Visitors gaped in open-mouthed horror at the outstretched, bloodstained hands coming from the metal cages lining the shack’s walls.

“Please help me,” one girl whimpered in a cage. “Please help me before he gets here.”

The group shuffled along, following their solitary, brave leader brandishing a sickly green glow stick to help see the next few feet ahead.

“What are you doing here, boy?” a baritone voice bellowed behind them.

Their shuffle became a sprint as the group fled out of the Backwoods haunted attraction, pursued by chainsaw-toting hillbillies and cleaverwielding butchers.

While the audience for such attractions at Indy Scream Park may be young, the actors within are grizzled veterans eager to put their scares to the test against the youth passing through.

haunting ways to spend Halloween near Muncie

Muncie and surrounding areas offer attractions for families to celebrate the spooky holiday.

Taylor Smith Reporter

Spooky season has finally arrived, and with Halloween quickly approaching, Muncie and surrounding areas have a lot to offer. Here are 10 ways to make October a little creepier:

Cornerstone Center for the Arts’ Scarevania and Son of Scarevania

Just a five minute drive off campus to 1911 Granville Ave., Scarevania and Son of Scarevania haunted attractions are two ways to get spooked this season. For $20, guests can purchase a combo ticket and get lost in an indoor-outdoor maze and walk the halls of Cornerstone’s abandoned third floor.

The floor was once used as a Masonic Temple, but it is now said to be haunted with ghosts of another dimension. Scarevania and Son of Scarevania will both be open until Saturday.

Muncie Children’s Museum Halloween Extravaganza During the Muncie Children’s Museum annual Halloween Extravaganza, guests can enjoy pumpkin painting, pumpkin smashing and a “guess the weight of the pumpkin” contest. The festivities will take place Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission is $6 per person.

Muncie Symphony Orchestra presents “Symphonic Halloween” From 7:30-9:30 p.m. Saturday, the Muncie Symphony Orchestra will fill Emens Auditorium with Halloween’s classic haunting sounds. Enjoy eerie performances of “Symphonie Fantastique” and “Night on Bald Mountain” just a few nights before Halloween. Tickets start at $25.

Reflex Improv The Reflex Improv group is putting on a special spooktacular show at 10:30 p.m. Friday in the Arts and Communications Building room 114.

For $2, guests can enjoy an hour of haunting entertainment as the group improvs solving a murder in a mansion. Come prepared to laugh with friends and leave wanting more.

“Halloween: Celestial Origins” at Charles W. Brown Planetarium The Charles W. Brown Planetarium’s “Halloween: Celestial Origins” show turns Halloween from terrifying to educational. This program not only

Locals attend Cornerstones’s Scarevania in 2017. This year’s Scarevania will be open until Oct. 27. DN FILE teaches the history of the astronomical holiday, but explains how Halloween is labeled as a “crossquarter day,” meaning the holiday consists of the four midpoints between the solstices and equinoxes.

Learn more about Halloween astronomy and catch a preview of the stars, planets and moons that will be in the sky on Halloween night. The final two showings are 6:30 p.m. and 8 p.m. Friday.

Ball State Student Honors Council’s “Tales of Terror” Haunted House The Ball State Student Honors Council hosts their annual Ball Honors House haunted house for students. Student actors will help transform Ball Honors House’s welcoming interior into a thrilling haunted house at 8 p.m. Oct. 30. “Tales of Terror” is free and open to the public, but only until 11 p.m. that night.

The Rocky Horror Picture Show Ball State students have been working hard since April to produce and perform their best rendition of the Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Auditions occurred in April and early September to fill positions. Guests can enjoy the show at midnight Halloween night, Oct. 31.

Haunted Hill

Redkey Fall Festival

Experience this outdoor haunted trail every Friday and Saturday night in October for just $10.

Haunted Hill is located at 7605 E Piccadilly Rd., 15 minutes off campus. Doors open at 8 p.m. and close at midnight. All proceeds go to the Children’s Clothing Store of Delaware County.

During the Redkey Fall Festival, guests will participate in a pumpkin carving contest with a $50 prize, a costume contest with two tickets to Redkey’s Key Palace Theater and a 50/50 raffle drawing. There will also be a cornhole contest for $6 a person or $10 for a team. Starting at 11 a.m., a hog roast and pulled pork sandwiches will be available for $5.

“We have a Cornhole tournament at 1 p.m. and we are giving away a prize of basically half of the entry fees for that,” said Mark Leavell, treasurer of the Redkey Fall Festival Committee, Mark Leavell.“We have a pumpkin carving contest that has a $50 grand prize.

“We’re a small town, and we used to have a lot of large festivals several years ago. We’re just trying to get the festivals up and running again.

We are trying to make progress and make them better each year to keep them growing.”

The festival will start at 9 a.m. and end at 6 p.m.

Saturday on High Street in Downtown Historic Redkey, which is about half an hour off campus.

Entry is free to the public.

“It’s an outdoor trail. Depending on how fast [guests] walk, it can take five to ten minutes per group,” said Angie Porter, who works with Haunted Hill. “We have famous characters. It’s a really good time. We’re nonfor-profit, and we donate to the community.”

Students can show valid Ball State I.D.s and get a $2 discount.

Indy Scream Park What is Halloween without haunted houses?

This year, Indy Scream Park offers five attractions, including their newest: Killgore’s Circus. Additionally, they will have Pandemic: Mutation!, the interactive attraction where guests can choose whether to watch the action or participate, and the Brickmore Asylum, “home to the criminally insane since 1902.”

Indy Scream Park, located at 5211 S New Columbus Rd. in Anderson, will remain open until Nov. 3. Tickets are $20.

SCREAM Continued from Page 11

“Most of these teenagers can’t even play with us,” said Backwoods Scream Park actor Michael Wable, 46, who’s been an actor for seven years at the park.

The premise of the outdoor Backwoods attraction consists of “cannibalistic, inbred hillbillies” where guests “are dinner, and [Backwoods] is the dining hall,” Wable said.

The average age of an actor in the Backwoods attraction is 32 years old, compared to the 20-year-old actors who make up the indoor attractions, said Indy Scream Park manager Trent Lockridge.

Lockridge, 47, was an actor in Backwoods for six years, where he played the part of a bloodthirsty hillbilly roaming the woods.

“My challenge was to keep up with the high school track team, the Pacers that came through and the Indianapolis Colts,” Lockridge said. “They look at my size, and they say ‘I can outrun him,’ but it’s fun to say that I made someone like Jeff Saturday run out my door.”

For Lockridge, getting into character to scare the customers was a “stress relief,” but Wable sees the job as an opportunity to just play-up who he actually is.

Bloodstains ran the length of Wable’s overalls. His matted locks of brown hair framed his rough face sporting a full brown beard.

Wable hoisted his bloody axe over his shoulder. “[I’m] just a crazy redneck playing a crazy redneck,” Wable said.

No matter when guests go to Indy Scream Park, Wable and the rest of the cast won’t be too old to frighten away any young souls looking for a scare.

Four hauntingly cute do-it-yourself treat ideas Tier Morrow Features Editor If you’ve ever been trick-or-treating, you know that some houses hand out better candy options than others. You may have even memorized the best places to stop when you were a kid.

During the residence trick-or-treat event Oct. 30 for the Muncie community, you definitely want to be one of the “cool” rooms.

Consider some of the DIY suggestions below to amp up your frightening treats.

Lollipop Ghosts MICHAELA KELLEY, DN

What you need: • A variety of lollipops — tootsie pops or blow pops are suggested • Two tissues • scissors • Orange and black ribbon • Black marker Directions: 1. Lay one tissue on a table. Make sure it is smooth.

2. Lay the second tissue over top of the first.

This is to make sure the tissues are thick enough not to rip.

3. Place the sucker in the center of the tissue, so that only ¼ of the stick hangs past the edge of the tissue.

4. Wrap the tissue around the sucker, so the edges hang downward.

5. Tie a piece of string underneath the lollipop to look like the head of a ghost. It should be tight enough so the tissue does not fall off, but not so tight to rip it.

6. Draw on two black eyes.

7. Admire your completed lollipop ghost.

Sucker Spiders MICHAELA KELLEY, DN

DNLife

What you need: • A variety of lollipops — tootsie pops or blow pops are suggested • 2 pipe cleaners, whatever color you want your spider to be • Scissors • Two small googly eyes Directions: 1. Cut both pipe cleaners in half.

2. Line all four pipe cleaners in a row on a table.

3. Place a lollipop in the center of the pipe cleaners, so the top of the sucker rests right above the first pipe cleaner.

4. Take all four pipe cleaners on one side of the sucker and fold downward to the other side.

5. Take the four pipe cleaners on the other side and do the same thing, but reverse — pull them to the other side in an upward fashion.

6. Spread all eight legs apart evenly.

7. Bend the bottom of each leg downward to create the spider’s “feet.”

8. Glue two googly eyes onto the center of the spider’s body.

9. Admire your completed sucker spider.

Candy Pumpkin Surprise

MICHAELA KELLEY, DN

What you need: • An orange balloon • An assortment of candy • Black marker • Green tissue paper • Scissors Directions: 1. Put three pieces of candy inside an unblown balloon.

2. Once the three pieces are inside the balloon, slowly begin to blow it up. Make sure not to pop the balloon.

3. When the balloon is big enough to hide all three pieces of candy, tie the end of the balloon in a knot.

4. With the knot pointing toward the sky, draw a face on your “pumpkin.”

5. Cut thin strips out of green tissue paper.

6. Tie multiple strips around the knot in the balloon to represent the stem of your pumpkin.

7. Admire your completed candy pumpkin surprise.

Frankenstein Party Poppers MICHAELA KELLEY, DN

What you need: • An assortment of small candy • An empty toilet paper roll • Green construction paper • Scissors • Glue • Black tissue paper • Black marker • String • Googly eyes Directions: 1. Spread out a piece of black tissue paper on a table.

2. Make a rectangle with the candy in the middle of the tissue paper.

3. Roll the tissue paper around the candy to make the shape of a large tootsie roll.

4. Twist the ends and tie with string.

5. Cut a piece of green construction paper to cover the toilet paper roll.

6. Glue the paper on the toilet paper roll.

7. Fit the green toilet paper roll over top of the wrapped candy so the candy is hidden and only the flared ends of tissue paper can be seen.

8. Glue to googly eyes in the center of the top third of the toilet paper roll.

9. Draw a straight horizontal line for a mouth with three even vertical lines over top of it.

10. Finish off with Frankenstein hair at the top by drawing upside down triangles repeatedly.

11. Admire your completed Frankenstein party popper.

FAITH

Continued from Page 08 “He’s stayed positive, and I think that’s uplifting to the rest of the guys,” Maloney said. “It adds value to the guys when they see someone who hasn’t been able to play and still be a great teammate and be at everything we have going. It’s really pretty special.”

This most recent injury marked broken bone number nine for Baker.

A broken back was one of the most serious injuries he’s ever had.

During his sophomore year of high school, Baker fractured the L4

vertebra in his spine, causing him to miss the baseball season. The winter of his junior year, he reinjured his L4 and missed that year as well. To make matters worse, after playing in his first 14 games as a college freshman, Baker hurt his L5 vertebra and lost yet another season to injury.

Baker has treated his injuries as opportunities rather than setbacks.

He said he views his absence from the field as a chance talk with teammates he wouldn’t normally get to at practice and above all, dial into his faith.

“It gives me more opportunity to really focus on where God wants me to be going, especially after this year being my senior year,” Baker said. “I don’t have to worry about playing a game right now.

10.25.18

DNSports

I’m just really focused on Him and what He wants me to do here.”

Baker said he should be able to resume hitting in the next couple weeks and will undoubtedly be ready to go come spring. In the meantime, he’s making the most of what he’s been faced with.

“People will be like, ‘Well, he’s hurt, but he’s not down. He’s still up. Why is that?’” Baker said.

His response? Simple: “It’s just a game,” Baker said. “There’s more to life than a silly game. There’s something more fulfilling beyond just a simple baseball game.”

Will Baker is a senior outfielder on the Ball State Baseball team. Baker’s batting average last year was .251. MICHAELA KELLEY, DN

When you have a person who has high integrity like Will does, who leads by example in everything he does, you gain the respect of your teammates. When you have a leader like that, and he’s all about the team, you make everybody better. He’s all about ‘we before me’ – that’s our motto. That’s who he is as a person. He puts others in front of himself, and I think that example attracts people to him.”
