or the first time in Ball State soccer history, the Cardinals have gone undefeated at home.

Family Weekend proved to be successful for the team, as it won both of its matches at Briner Sports Complex to finish off its perfect regular season home record.

Though it has not been officially announced, the women’s soccer team has mathematically locked up the Mid-American Conference regular season championship title, a feat the team was able to achieve only two times in its history (2006, 2007).

The photographs of each of those teams are in the locker room, since tradition is something head coach Craig Roberts pushes on his team.

“We talk about cultivating an environment that replicates that,” Roberts said.

“We’re not just out here to compete —

you want to win things, you want to win championships.”

This year’s team is 9-1 in the conference and 13-3-2 overall. If it comes out with a victory against Miami (9-6-1), its regular season record will surpass both of the championship teams’ records from the past, neither of whom were able to win the conference tournament title.

Even with the success of the season, this team’s path is not complete. Roberts hasn’t set goals for the team all season. Instead, he pushes advancement throughout the year.

HotBox Pizza opening later than planned Restaurant’s contractor must redo plumbing, drywall to meet code |

REBECCA KIZER COMMUNITY REPORTER rjkizer@bsu.edu

Most students will have to wait until after Winter Break to try the Village’s newest pizza place.

HotBox Pizza will open Dec. 21 in the building where Sunsations Tanning Salon used to be.

Suzanne Flynn, co-owner of HotBox Pizza alongside her husband, Bryan Flynn, said the general contractor working on the building needed more time to get everything up to code. The building needed its plumbing and drywall redone to meet the state code for public restaurants.

“It takes time,” Suzanne said.

“The state of Indiana as well as the city of Muncie have to make sure we don’t cut corners.”

Other than the renovations, she said everything else has been

going smoothly. The pizza chain has hired close to 40 employees at this point, many being Ball State students.

Taylor Dillon, a sophomore psychology major, said she first learned of the chain’s Muncie location while job searching. Though she didn’t apply for the job, she is excited about the new restaurant and eager for its opening.

“It’s a new attraction,” Dillon said. “Everyone will want to check it out.”

Though Dillon thinks HotBox

will be competing with the “classic” taste of Greek’s Pizzeria, Suzanne does not think this will be the case.

“Hopefully, it will just be an additional type of pizza and experience,” she said. “We won’t really cross paths when it comes to competing for business.”

HotBox Pizza has a lot of pizza competition in Muncie, with Greek’s Pizzeria, Cousin Vinny’s Pizza, Papa John’s, Mancino’s Pizza and Grinders, multiple Pizza Kings, Pizza Hut, Papa Murphy’s

Take and Bake Pizza, Little Caesar’s Pizza and Domino’s Pizza all working to draw college students and Muncie residents in.

Alec Macchione, a junior accounting and finance major, said he has been employed at the Noblesville HotBox restaurant for the past two summers as a deliveryman. When he heard about the new Muncie location, his relationship with Suzanne and Bryan Flynn helped him to get a better position within the pizza chain.

Ball State spending about $25,000 per year on feedback services

created a request for proposals that outlined the system requirements for an online evaluation, then vendors were able to submit proposals.

A new system will be put into place by Fall 2016, and a vendor should be picked by early spring, Jones said.

Shaheen Borna, a marketing professor and member of the teacher evaluations committee, said there are five companies that have bid for the new system so far. Costs of the new company range from $24,000 to $26,000 annually. The price of the current program is $24,000 annually, Jones said.

However, Borna said the results of the evaluations aren’t an accurate representation of professor performance.

Cardinals’ defense improves UNIVERSITY SEEKS NEW despite loss over weekend EVALUATIONS COMPANY

Ball State loses 23-21 after Central Michigan makes late field goal EVAN SIDERY FOOTBALL REPORTER | @esidery The Achilles’ heel for Ball State thus far has been the inconsistency of the defense. This season, the Cardinals are allowing 484 yards per game to opposing offenses, which ranks 11th in the Mid-American Conference.

On Saturday’s game against Central Michigan, the defense finally seemed to click, albeit in spurts, but one particular play stuck out in a bad way.

On third-and-18, Central Michigan quarterback Cooper Rush threw a screen pass to Martez Walker, who took it 19 yards for the first down. This led to a game-win-

In the second quarter, where Ball State had been outscored 121-67 throughout the season, Ball State held the high-powered Chippewa offense scoreless heading into halftime. With the offense not clicking throughout the first half, the defense was out on the field for just over 20 minutes in the second half.

Professors raise money to support local charity United Way works to improve lives in Delaware County

|

MICHELLE KAUFMAN COMMUNITY REPORTER mekaufman@bsu.edu

After raising more than $150,000 for the United Way of Delaware County last year, Ball State employees are working to beat that number this year.

As a franchise of charities, United Way works to improve lives in the county by putting resources toward education, income and health, according to the organization’s website. It currently supports 30 partners who run programs in the areas of education, initiative and health, United Way’s Director of Impact Jim Flatford said.

“When somebody gives to United Way, it goes to cover our internal work as well as our granting process to those programs in

the community,” Flatford said. “We make sure donor dollars are going to the most impactful programs and that they’re meeting issues we’ve identified as root causes of problems.”

Last year, Ball State employees donated $152,272 — about 10 percent of United Way’s total raised in the workplace campaign last year — and was the third-largest contributor. Their goal this year is to raise $155,000 during the campaign, which is from Oct. 6 to Nov. 30.

John Emert, the 2015 employee campaign chair and associate dean of the Honors College, has been involved with the campaign since 1989 and has been a contributor to United Way since he moved to Muncie.

“The work United Way does for our community is important to my family and I, and we think it’s important to support efforts like United Way that make a real difference for the community,” Emert said.

Emert was asked to join the committee, which he

said “was a natural next step.” The committee’s role is to represent all the different types of employees on campus and equip 200 team captains to either hand-deliver pledge cards or to encourage those they’re responsible for to turn the cards back in.

Jenni Marsh, president and CEO of United Way, said Ball State is a “tremendous” partner with Ball State both financially and in other ways. For example, MP3, a program that is a continuum of care for preschool to third graders, was started as an immersive learning project by two Ball State professors and has been funded by United Way since the beginning.

“Pat Clark and Eva Zygmunt developed the concept of doing a program where students would be immersed in the culture of a community and learn how to teach within the context of that community. Through that, MP3 was born,” Marsh said. “I believe another elemen-

BSU GIVES BACK Ball State contributed 10 percent of United Way’s total workplace campaign funds last year and was the thirdlargest contributor. tary school is looking at bringing MP3 into another elementary school, so it’s continuing to grow and do good things for the people of our community.”

Marsh said as the leader of United Way, one of her responsibilities to make sure the organization is giving them all the support needed as funds are raised.

“I am so impressed by the volunteers who lead the workplace campaign at Ball State. You have a core committee of people who really understand that the work they do to raise money at Ball State improves thousands of people’s lives every single day,” she said. “The programs that benefit from the dollars raised really have a daily impact on people right here in Delaware County.”

EVALUATIONS: | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Borna said the sex and gender of instructors play a role in the ratings students give them. The difficulty and frequency of exams also factor into the ratings, and if students write comments, they are typically only negative and long.

“It is common sense if my tenure merit promotion depends on that, I’m going to do anything I can to increase my popularity in the class,” Borna said.

Evaluation forms that ask students whether they liked the course and the instructor are measuring personality and charisma more than the ability to effectively teach, he said.

Depending upon the academic units, a professor’s score is formed as an average of how students scored professors in the various categories. Borna said it is difficult to measure the cor-

rect areas categorized on the evaluation.

“For instance, we put, ‘Is your professor available?’

What does that mean? I am not available 24 hours here,” he said. “We need to be careful in writing these questions.”

There are a general set of questions for each professor, as well as questions unique to each department.

“There are very easy, inexpensive ways without identifying the student where they can relay their feedback to faculty,” Borna said. “They can produce this software at Ball State University.”

The university used to require students to complete the evaluations prior to receiving their final grades, but Jones said that policy was discontinued in Fall 2014.

“As with many things, there are different opinions as to how well the students’ perception is reflective of the actual quality of teaching,” Jones said.

App aims to help intoxicated users get home after night out Drunk Mode seeks to make drinking safer

|

SAMANTHA STEVENSON GENERAL REPORTER slstevenson2@bsu.edu

A smartphone app may help keep students safe through location services, drunk-dialing prevention and a panic button, and its company is looking to incorporate Ball State into its network.

Joshua Anton was inspired to start the app Drunk Mode after receiving a call from an inebriated girl at 2 a.m. one morning. T.J. Wilson, a campus representative and team member for Drunk Mode, said the purpose of the app is to prevent this from happening.

“It was just an idea [Anton] had to stop drunk calling, but then he made the app and had 10,000 downloads at first,” Wilson, a 20-year-old Univer-

sity of Colorado - Colorado Springs student, said.

The app now has 970,000 users, Wilson said. It includes features such as “Stop Drunk Dialing,” which hides selected contacts when you’re drinking for up to 12 hours, according to their website. One of the app’s other features is called “Breadcrumbs,” which allows users to track where they went during their nights out.

Ball State placed in the top 100 active spots on Drunk Mode’s college list, according to Wilson. He said there are currently 250 students using the app on campus.

The app will have stronger safety features for its update. Wilson said the app will help college students stay safe while at school.

“With our new update, we will have a panic button feature. It’s like back in the day when children carried an ID about them and their emergency contact information in their backpacks,” Wilson said. “We’re trying to accomplish that electronically.”

Users can push the button, which will have a countdown checking if the user actually needs the feature.

Once a need is established, an alert will be sent to the user’s emergency contacts, who can assess the situation and help the user. Wilson said from there the police can be contacted and Drunk Mode will provide the user’s last known location.

Wilson said the company is looking to collaborate with Ball State’s University Police Department to link up the app to contact them when a student presses the panic button. Police and the user’s emergency contact list will receive the user’s location when the button is pressed.

According to the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, 1,825 college students between the ages of 18 and 24 die each year from alcohol-related injuries. More than 97,000 students are victims of alcohol-related sexual assault or date rape.

Freshman Jacob Davis, a

theatrical studies major, said he hadn’t heard of the app but was interested after learning about its features.

“The walking feature would be so helpful to figure out where you had been the night before,” Davis said. “I definitely need the blocked contacts so that I don’t text my exes as much.”

THE ANATOMY OF A PLAY EVAN SIDERY FOOTBALL REPORTER

|

@esidery

With 2:59 left in the first quarter, Ball State was on the ropes.

Down 10-0 with Central Michigan driving to make it a three-score game, the defense needed to make a play.

At their own 40-yard line, the Chippewas busted off a huge 17-yard run from Jay Roberson. It looked like he was going to be brought down at the Cardinals’ 40-yard line until Sean Wiggins held him up and stripped the ball out.

Here’s the anatomy of Wiggins’ strip and recovery that led to Ball State scoring 14 straight points, instead of being down double-digits.

1

The Chippewas start out in the pistol formation, with Roberson lined up behind quarterback Cooper Rush. Ball State’s defense is lined up in a base 3-4 alignment (three defensive linemen, four linebackers).

2

Ball State blitzes on the play, but Roberson evades multiple defenders along the way. The Cardinals miss three tackles, and it takes three more to bring down Roberson in their own territory.

3

As Roberson is going down with the ball, Wiggins, one of three defenders trying to bring him down, reaches to make a play. As he wraps Roberson up, he notices Roberson carrying the ball loosely.

4

Wiggins rips it out of Roberson’s hands when he gets both of his hands on it with all of his strength. As the rest of his teammates continue to bring down Roberson, Wiggins falls down with the ball in his hands at their own 40-yard line.

This truly changed the entire complexion of the first half for Ball State. After this, Ball State went on to score 14 unanswered points and held a halftime lead. The defense also held a prolific Chippewa offense in check the rest of the half. Due to Wiggins’ prowess, the Cardinals held a 14-10 halftime lead.

Team improves to 5-5 Home match rally breaks 5-match streak of losses

|

ZACK CAINS VOLLEYBALL REPORTER @ZPC1329

After a five-game skid, Ball State women’s volleyball has regained some very important momentum with two consecutive victories at home.

The Cardinals were undefeated at 3-0 and at the top of the Mid-American Conference before five toughly fought losses sent them tumbling down the conference standings.

“We played what I felt to be our best volleyball of the season at both Ohio and Kent State,” head coach Steve Shondell said. “But they were very tough teams, and we failed to come home with wins, which hurt us as a team because we felt we were better than what the results showed.”

Of the five straight losses, the last four were on the road, keeping them away from their home court, which has seen them win five out of the six times they’ve played there. But now with the return to Worthen Arena for a four-

game homestand, momentum can return in their favor, and so far it has.

Ball State defeated the MAC’s then-second ranked team, Miami, and Bowling Green in straight sets, only the second and third times it’s won in that dominating fashion.

“It’s good to see the team rewarded for its good play,” Shondell said. “We have been playing good volleyball for two weeks.”

The team was missing something in its recent losses, and that was the crowd.

With so much success within Worthen Arena this season, Shondell feels it was partially responsible for the big wins.

“Had we played at Miami, the results could have been different,” Shondell said.

“Playing here really boosts the players.”

Along with the return home, Ball State has also been able to find better rhythm in its game that has aided it in this past weekend’s success.

“We really improved on blocking and were able to keep our hitting errors really low compared to the rest of the season,” Shondell said.

Ball State had previously averaged around 24 errors a match this season but held it down to 17 against Miami and 13 at

Over the weekend, the Ball State soccer team finished off its regular home season with two wins. So far, the team is 9-1 in the MidAmerican Conference.

“We’ve talked about the progression and the journey,” Roberts said. “Our objective is to progress and to continue to progress all the way through the season.”

Roberts said if they set a goal to win the regular season MAC Championship, their season would officially be over.

The season is far from over for the Cardinals. With one match remaining, Ball State is mathematically on pace to be the No. 1 seed moving into the conference tournament. It sits in front of Western Michigan (113-3) and Buffalo (10-6-2), each of whom also has one match remaining.

While they look to lock up the No. 1 seed, the Cardinals will be at home on Nov. 1 in the quarterfinal match.

“That’s what will be the main factor right now, is for us to make sure ... to complete that game,” Roberts said. “If we get the win, … we will remain as a No. 1 seed,

1-9 MAC) will be coming to Muncie this weekend looking to gain momentum to make a push into the tournament. The Cardinals are confident, though, that their latest success can give them the boost they need to remain in a tournament seed and move up the seeds.

“We have to keep the momentum and remember it’s not how you start, but how you finish,” Shondell said.

and, therefore, we will host and we will bring the MAC Championship to Muncie.”

Whoever is the top remaining seed after the quarterfinal round of the tournament hosts both the semifinal and championship rounds of the tournament.

Briner Sports Complex could prove to be the host of this year’s MAC semifinals and championship game if the Cardinals remain on top of the conference.

This weekend’s performance finalized the team’s home success, as it has collectively outscored opponents 11-3 in the six victories.

Coming back from its first lost in eight matches, senior midfielder Madison Oyer scored the only goal in Ball State’s 1-0 victory against Akron during the Senior day game on Friday.

Senior midfielder and forward Chelsy Swackhamer kept the ball rolling on Sunday, scoring Ball State’s lone goal in its 1-0 victory against Buffalo.

The final home win will look to surge the Cardinals as they complete the regular season and transition into

FOOTBALL: | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Outside of that costly play, the defense held up on third down. They held the Chippewas to only six third-down conversions on 14 attempts, a 43 percent success rate.

“Our run defense was really solid today, and we did a pretty good job on third downs overall,” Lembo said.

“We gave up a couple of big runs, but you know, the thing you saw was kids bouncing back and not getting down on themselves and playing the next play.”

Another area that has consistently plagued the Cardinals’ defense is the secondary. Rush finished the day 30-38 for 316 yards and two touchdowns.

Throughout the year, opposing quarterbacks have completed 70 percent of their passes (196-280). In the last three weeks, though, that number has significantly increased. Against Rush, Nick Arbuckle of Georgia State and Drew Hare of Northern Illinois, the defense allowed a completion percentage of 82.8.

Lembo believes the lack of a pass rush has inflated those numbers.

“Well, pressure helps,” Lembo said. “You’re gonna give up some completions when you’re playing three deep and spinning, which

we’ve been doing a fair amount of.”

Lembo knows there are issues with the secondary, especially at the cornerback position, but he’s trying to do all he can to help hide that area of weakness on game day.

“It’s no mystery we’ve gotta play better in the secondary,” Lembo said. “We’re trying to do what we can to help those guys, and they have to do their part of continuing to become more detailed and read their keys.”

Holding back tears, linebacker Sean Wiggins spoke about what he was thinking after the loss.

“Big-time players make bigtime plays in big-time games,” Wiggins said. “I think we had a couple of people who had chances to make big plays and didn’t get the chance. So, right now, I’m pissed off at myself and the players.”

Even though the defense missed many key opportunities to swing momentum in their favor, particularly with Wiggins and fellow linebacker Zack Ryan dropping what would have been interceptions, they did all they could with the offense unable to get anything going in the second half.

“The job they did — holding them to some field goals there, keeping us in the game — was really, really important,” Lembo said. “So, hopefully, there’s some things to build on there.”

‘STEVE JOBS’ OFFERS CLOSE LOOK AT MAN BEHIND APPLE’S COMEBACK BEN RICHTER THE BEN RICHTER SCALE

BEN RICHTER IS A SOPHOMORE TELECOMMUNICATIONS MAJOR AND WRITES “THE BEN RICHTER SCALE” FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HIS VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER. WRITE TO BEN AT BRICHTER@BSU.EDU.

Without a doubt, there has been much buzz about the newest cinematic take on the life of Steve Jobs. This biopic, penned by “Social Network” and “Moneyball” writer Aaron Sorkin, endeavors to nullify the inevitable comparisons to the 2013 picture, “Jobs.” With this, it succeeds.

But the merits of this film are not won solely in comparison to its predecessor. In fact, “Steve Jobs” is a carefully crafted and fully detailed vignette of the Apple founder’s life. From top to bottom, the cast, though not looking especially like their characters in some cases, delivers a solid performance. While Fassbender’s “Jobs” is strong, the keystone of the ensemble is Kate Winslet. Her portrayal of the obliging, supportive and occasionally resolute right-hand woman was at once fantastic and subtle. Jeff Daniel’s Scully is worthy of note as well, delivering a powerfully reserved performance in contrast to the bombastic Jobs.

The movie follows three separate product releases: the Macintosh, the NeXT computer and the iMac. Draped around the implicit pressure-cooker of an imminent public announcement, the myriad of confrontations and flashbacks interconnects beautifully to create an atmosphere of high-stakes, personal ambition and private disarray.

Despite this, one can’t help but doubt the number of meetings

that actually took place in the 30-minute timeframe before a product launch.

The emotional centerpiece, Jobs’ relationship with daughter Lisa Brennan and her mother Chrisann Brennan, falls short of creating a compelling emotional narrative. Character incongruity, for what I can only imagine being the sake of a nice bow at the end, cheapens the film noticeably but not absolutely. Whether it’s Jobs’ jarring denial of Lisa being his daughter or it’s a problem with the execution of this idea, it’s hard to say. Nevertheless, Jobs’ reactionary relationship with these two characters seems unrealistically harsh in the beginning.

From a technical perspective, the film delivered on all metrics.

The cinematography, by Alwin H. Küchler, whose credits include “Hanna” and “Divergent,” manifests the developing aesthetic of Apple itself. This includes film changes from 16mm to 35mm, to digital cinematography as the plot progresses through each new product launch. A specific shot of Fassbender close-up wearing the iconic Jobs glasses, used in the trailers, gave the impression of looking at a brandnew iPhone. The score was understated, taking a backseat to the rapid-fire dialogue.

Bottom line, “Steve Jobs” is beautiful, well acted, well written and so-so on emotion. A perfect watch for anyone interested in the man behind the brand.
