MICHELLE KAUFMAN GENERAL REPORTER mekaufman@bsu.edu

The old Cintas building downtown will be turned into a hub to facilitate collaboration between Ball State and Muncie.

Three faculty members in the College of Architecture and Planning were awarded a $300,000 Academic Excellence Grant from the university to convert the building. The hub will be available to anyone in Muncie — high school and Ball State students, faculty and Muncie residents.

Pam Harwood, an architecture professor, said Ball State’s campus was created as a separate unit from downtown Muncie, so she hopes the hub will bring together groups of people who are invested and involved in making the community a better place to live in. This will also give those people an opportunity to have the tools they need to succeed.

“The sustained commitment to the community by having a presence down there and our students engaged is huge,” she said. “It can’t happen here; it would be different if it happened [on campus.]”

Darnell Smith to redshirt for rest of season

ody modification can mean tattoos and piercings, but for one Ball State employee, the term encompasses a much different activity: suspension.

Suspension is an activity in which people hang from metal hooks pierced into their skin. For Graham Watson, a web development manager for the Center of Business and Economic Research at Ball State, the practice is a pastime.

Before becoming an entertainment piece, suspension was used as part of Native American rituals like Sun Dance ceremonies. During the Sun Dance, a dancer’s chest or back is pierced and attached to a sacred tree. The dancer pulled and danced until the piercings ripped.

Ball State football will officially not have senior defensive tackle Darnell Smith back in the lineup for the rest of the season. It has been announced that the senior defensive tackle will be redshirted this season.

During Tuesday’s football press conference, head coach Pete Lembo announced that Smith will be redshirted to return next season.

He also discussed how he was not pleased with how the defensive line performed against Central Michigan.

The Cardinals were looking to get Smith back from a knee injury as soon as next week, but now it looks DARNELL SMITH like he may not play at all this season Senior defensive with the coaches going in a different tackle direction.

“At this point, we feel like the best thing to do is to redshirt him and give him the opportunity to have the kind of senior year that he wants to have,” Lembo said.

If Smith were not redshirted, his senior year would effectively be ended. However, because they suspended his eligibility this season, it means he is eligible to play next season as a fifth-year senior.

It is not often that coaches will redshirt veteran players. Normally, they elect to redshirt freshmen so they get an extra year of growth and development, making this a special instance.

The Pretty in Pink fashion show wasn’t just about looking good on the runway.

The members of Alpha Phi Omega hosted their annual fashion show on Tuesday to raise awareness for breast cancer. The free event encouraged donations for Little Red Door, which helps ease financial burdens on breast cancer victims by providing wigs and aid equipment.

The event showcased four student designers who each presented their own line of clothing. Pretty in Pink’s chairman, Jenise Banks, said the show is the fraternity’s way of doing their part.

“We want to raise funds and awareness to breast cancer,” Banks said. “Each year, we just want to make sure that we do our

The outgoing House speaker, Republican John Boehner of Ohio, prepared to push the deal through his unruly chamber on Wednesday as his last act before departing Congress at the end of the week.

The first regulation takes aim at the debit and prepaid cards more schools are using to distribute aid.

The second rule will allow anyone meeting certain low-income requirements to have their loan payments capped at 10 percent of their annual discretionary earnings, an option previously available only to recent students.

CHICAGO (AP) — President Barack Obama on Tuesday defended police officers who have come under intense scrutiny amid a breakdown in relations between law enforcement and minority communities, and said police can’t be expected to contain problems that society refuses to solve.

In remarks to the International Association of Chiefs of Police meeting in the president’s Chicago

hometown,Obama said society wrongly expects police to control societal ills stemming from unemployment, poor education, inadequate drug treatment programs and lenient gun laws.

Obama’s tribute to police comes amid a national debate that followed the deaths of unarmed black men in Florida, Missouri and elsewhere, giving rise to the Black Lives Matter movement.

RUSSIA OFFERS AID TO SYRIAN REBELS BEIRUT (AP) — When Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said his country was ready to aid Syrian rebels fighting the Islamic State group, rebel commanders scoffed, pointing out that Russian aircraft were pounding their bases in central and northern Syria on a daily basis.

Legal studies program receives grant Clinic will provide chance to work with real cases

|

MARGO MORTON IMMERSIVE LEARNING REPORTER mjmorton@bsu.edu

Undergraduate students will have the opportunity to provide legal services to people in the county and throughout the state starting in 2017.

The legal studies program received a $38,137 Academic Excellence Grant from President Paul W. Ferguson to fund the initiative. The Access to Justice (ATJ) Clinic will be fully running by Spring/ Summer 2017.

Students will be assigned legal cases to assist with and will stay with those cases until they are done, even if they continue after the students graduate.

Students will have to apply to be part of the clinic.

Brad Gideon, director of legal studies, will be working for the next couple of years

to set the proper structure in place for the clinic.

“Between now and then, I will be working with community partners throughout the state to put in place effective processes for helping to deliver legal aid to underserved populations,” Gideon said in an email. “Over the threeyear grant period, we hope to expand our reach across the state and to help diverse groups who need legal help, including those in domestic violence situations, the elderly, veterans and children.”

There will be a new course available for students who will work in the clinic, called Access to Justice in the Legal System. It will provide a reference point for students, showing the importance of legal system accessibility for the community. “[It] will explore access to justice theories, analytical framework for addressing justice issues and problems, and potential solutions to these problems,” Gideon said. “This

course lays the foundation for working in the clinic.”

The clinic will also provide service learning assignments to legal studies students, which will be incorporated into their courses. Gideon said these will help students better understand how to work with real clients.

“These service learning assignments provide opportunities for students to engage the community and learn how access to justice problems impact citizens of the state,” Gideon said.

The program has a number of community partners already, including Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) programs, which allow a volunteer to go through specialized training to become a voice for a child in the court system.

CASA volunteers may investigate a case, interview witnesses and testify in court on behalf of a child.

Legal studies students are looking forward to the opportunities the grant will offer. Ross Meenagh, a

junior legal studies major and president of the Legal Studies Student Association, said the clinic will give students the chance to be involved with the legal process even before going to law school.

“This will be a fantastic opportunity for students to participate in a rewarding, hands-on learning experience,” Meenagh said.

“We will actually be the only [American Bar Association]-approved program to run a clinic like this. How many schools send their undergrads to testify in open court?”

While anyone can testify in open court, being able to do it still gives the students an opportunity to be exposed to the process.

Gideon wants students who will work in the clinic to gain a new perspective of their future careers.

Lawyers play an important role in the community, he said.

“I hope students will come away with the understanding that they can use the knowledge and

HUB: Get scared: Haunted attractions for Halloween

Three locations near Muncie to visit for a night of fright

|

MICHELLE KAUFMAN GENERAL REPORTER mekaufman@bsu.edu

Students looking to get scared this week for Halloween have a number of choices both on and off campus. Here are three spots around Ball State and Delaware County that are perfect for a haunted night out with friends.

Scarevania Haunted Attraction was voted the No. 1 “Most Original Haunt in Indiana.” Participants will navigate through an indoor and outdoor maze. In addition, Scarevania will be providing a haunted house for Cornerstone’s All Hallows’ Eve Bash.

Tickets are $12 each at the door.

When: Thursday from 8 to 11 p.m. and Friday and Saturday from 8 p.m. to midnight,

1911 N Granville Ave. Stillwell Manor Haunted House in Anderson uses strobe lights, small spaces, fog, dim lighting and slanted floors to spook visitors.

The haunted house is a completely indoor maze.

Tickets are $18 on Friday and Saturday nights, and $15 any other night. Halloween tickets are $18.

When: Today and Thursday from 7:30 to 10 p.m., Friday from 7:30 p.m. to midnight and on Halloween from 8 p.m. to 1 a.m., 1704 E. 60th St., Anderson.

Indy Screampark in Anderson has six attractions, including a Monster Midway, prison, zombieland apoc-

alypse, asylum and haunted woods, to make sure you’re scared by the end of the night. Indoor attractions open at 7 p.m. each night, and the outdoor ones open when it gets dark. Tickets range from $21.95 to $28.95, depending on which day you go. Tickets for Oct. 29 are already sold out. All tickets cost $5 more at the box office than online. Indy Screampark is open past Halloween.

When: Today and Thursday from 7 to 10:30 p.m., Friday from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m., Saturday from 7 p.m. to midnight, Sunday from 7 to 10:30 p.m., Nov. 6 and 7 from 7 p.m. to midnight.

The goal is for the 6,000-square-foot space to serve as a meeting place between the community and Ball State that will house analog and digital tools like table saws, drill presses and laser cutters. Anyone will be able to access the tools after being trained and paying a fee.

“We think it will be a really great opportunity to inspire some great ideas and implement some of the visions for the Muncie community through the Makers Hub,” Harwood said.

Andrea Swartz, interim chairperson of the Department of Architecture, said being able to bring new energy into an existing building instead of building a new one was important.

ficult situations of others and how the simple act of providing some help can make a huge impact on the community.”

“It really is a critical vehicle to make quality of life better in Muncie,” Swartz said.

“Our presence and energy are now there, and we’re tapping into the energy of the people who have come before us.”

Two of the main goals of the hub are to serve the community and support efforts that are already in place.

“A foundation point for us was to recognize the tremendous work that has already gone into creative art making in this community. There has been a huge grassroots effort in this field,” Swartz said. “We’re just sort of seeing an opportunity to support that.”

Swartz said she believes she and her colleagues promote good in a creative, risk-taking learning environment — which is what the design process is made of, and what President Paul W. Ferguson

strives to make the university to be.

“You have an idea, you make something, look at it and if it’s not right, it’s a failure to a certain extent but you reinvest in it and do it again,” she said. “President Ferguson says to risk, to take in a culture that’s supportive, but dare to fail. … We’re providing that culture.”

A meeting with stakeholders will be held sometime next summer or fall to discuss how to further shape the idea. The hub’s priority is to make the connection between Ball State and Muncie more apparent, Harwood said.

For students, the hub will allow them to get real experience instead of using hypothetical examples.

“It’s critical that [architects] gather empathy and real, true understanding of the needs of people and how what they do can affect their lives,” Harwood said. “So many of the projects we do have an imagined client and no real budget; you’re just designing as if you’re in some sort of warp space where you can do anything.”

Student’s guide to birth control A look at 13 forms of contraception for women, men College students are having sex.

The amount of 18-24 yearolds who reported doing “it” in the past 12 months is high —about 75 percent, according to a 2014 survey from the National Campaign to Prevent Teen and Unplanned Pregnancy.

When it comes to birth control, 94 percent of 1829 year-olds are confident they know how to prevent unplanned pregnancies. The reality is, 71 percent know little or nothing about intrauterine devices, 40 percent are hazy on birth control pills and 11 percent know little about condoms.

But birth control is tricky.

There are at least 20 different types, and each of them comes with a set of benefits and risks. Here’s a guide, based on information from Planned Parenthood:

FOR WOMEN Birth control implants

These implants are small rods, about the size of a match stick, that are inserted into the arm. They are effective for up to three years. To get an implant, a visit to a health care provider is necessary.

Side effects: The most common is irregular bleeding within the first 6-12 months after getting the implant.

Other side effects include nausea, headache, breast tenderness, weight gain and discoloring or scarring of the skin where the implant was inserted. It is rare, but there is possibility of infection in the arm. Serious side effects include bleeding or pus where the implant was inserted, breast lumps and the yellowing of the skin or eyes; see a health care provider if any of these occur.

Birth control patch

Just like it sounds, the birth control patch is a small, square patch that sticks to the skin. The patch is used in rotation, with the user putting on a new patch once a week for three straight weeks, then going one week without a patch.

The patch is most effective when it is placed on-time each time. This keeps the hormone levels correct.

If the patch becomes loose or falls off after fewer than 48 hours, it is safe to reapply the patch.

For more than 48 hours, change the patch completely, and make that day of the week the new day to change patches regularly.

Side effects: Breast tenderness, bleeding between periods, nausea and vomiting, and irritation where the patch is placed on the skin.

It can take up to two months after the discontinued use of the patch for hormone levels to return to normal.

Rare risks include heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, gallstones, jaundice and liver tumors.

Currently, the makers of the patch have stopped producing. There are other, similar methods of birth control which are just as effective.

Birth control pills

Birth control pills are a medication that is taken daily. Also called oral con-

traception, they come in 21-day and 28-day packs. In both types, there are 21 pills which have hormones, called “active” pills. In 28-day packs, the last seven pills do not contain hormones and are called “reminder” pills. A woman will usually get her period during the week of “reminder” pills.

There are two types of pills: progestin-only pills and combination pills.

Combination pills also have estrogen in them and are more common. Birth control pills also offer benefits such as acne protection and lessened menstrual cramps.

Sara Nedroscik, a freshman interior design major, takes birth control pills to lessen the severity of her periods and cramps.

“I also feel a little less paranoid about getting pregnant, if I choose to have sex,” she said.

Nedroscik said she likes how easy the pill is to take, and how the packaging lets her know when her period is coming.

The pills are most effective when taken at the same time every day. They offer protection against pregnancy, but not STDs. Side effects: Bleeding between periods, nausea and vomiting, and breast tenderness. Taking the pill at night may help with the nausea and vomiting. More serious, but also rare, side effects can include blood clots forming in the legs, lungs, heart or brain; jaundice; liver tumors; gallstones; stroke and heart attack. Progestin-only pills have a lower risk of the more serious side effects.

Birth control pills are available by prescription.

Birth control shots

This is a shot in the arm that prevents pregnancy for three months. A prescription is necessary. A health care provider will discuss medical history and perform any exams necessary.

Women who have breast cancer, are pregnant or are taking medicine to treat Cushing’s syndrome should not use the shot.

Side effects: Changes in a woman’s period (shorter and lighter, longer and heavier, or stopping altogether), change in appetite, weight gain, hair loss, increased hair on the face or body, nausea, sore breasts, headaches, depression and temporary bone thinning.

The side effects may continue 12-14 weeks after the shot wears off. Getting pregnant may take 6-10 months after taking the shot.

To Sarah Bilbrey, a freshman architecture major, suspension sounds painful.

“Everyone has the right to self-expression, but I don’t think it’s something I would ever do,” she said.

Sophomore journalism and telecommunications major Jake Thomas had a similar reaction.

“I don’t have a high pain tolerance, and I’m not a fan of piercings,” Thomas said.

Suspension can be painful, but performers are typically shown swinging and dangling with smiles on their faces.

DN GRAPHIC SIERRA THERRIEN

Birth control sponge (To- get the vaginal ring. day Sponge) Cervical cap (FemCap) The birth control sponge is a made of foam and worn inside the vagina to prevent pregnancy. It contains spermicide, which is a substance that prevents sperm from moving.

Birth control sponges cover the cervix to prevent the sperm from entering the uterus. There is a small loop on the bottom of the sponge for removal.

They are most effective for women who have never given birth.

The sponge is easy to insert with practice and can still be used during breastfeeding. There are no effects on a woman’s hormones. It can be inserted up to 24 hours before having sex, and should be left in place at least six hours after having sex. Do not wear the sponge for more than 30 hours in a row.

Side effects: Using the sponge puts a woman at a higher risk for toxic shock syndrome. Some signs of toxic shock syndrome include diarrhea, dizziness, sore throat, sudden high fever, weakness, vomiting and a sunburn-type rash. See a health care provider as soon as possible if any of these occur. The spermicide can increase risk of STDs and more risks for those with HIV or at high risk for HIV.

Birth control vaginal ring (NuvaRing)

The vaginal ring is a small ring inserted into the vagina once a month and prevents pregnancy for three weeks. The NuvaRing is the brand name version of this type of birth control.

It is most effective when left in place for three weeks, taken out for one week and then replaced with a new one.

The vaginal ring works much like a birth control pill, and it offers many of the same benefits. Normally, a woman’s period will come during the week she is not wearing the vaginal ring. The rings do come with expiration dates, so it is important to check that before insertion.

Side effects: Bleeding between periods, nausea, vomiting and breast tenderness. Long-lasting side effects include increased vaginal discharge, irritation and infection. More serious and rare side effects include jaundice, gallstones, liver tumors and high blood pressure. Very rare and fatal side effects are heart attack, stroke and blood clots in the lungs, heart, brain or legs. A prescription is necessary to “I’m very happy I’ve been able to introduce people to the practice,” Watson said.

“People have told me that, just like I hoped, ... they have been inspired by the demonstration of living without being controlled by fear. I’ve been told that seeing suspension is empowering for people, and I really appreciate that from a performance point of view — that it can have that kind of effect on an audience.”

Each performer suspends for different personal reasons, but Watson uses suspension as a way to enlightenment.

The cervical cap is a silicone cup, which is inserted into the vagina over the cervix. It can be used with spermicide to increase effectiveness.

Caps are good for two years. It is important to take care of the cap by washing it regularly and checking for holes or weak spots.

Checking that the cap is in place before sex can also help decrease chances of unplanned pregnancy.

The caps can be inserted up to six hours before sex.

Side effects: Vaginal irritation as an allergic reaction to spermicide and pain or discomfort. See a doctor if there is a burning sensation while urinating, irritation or itching, redness or swelling of the vagina or unusual discharge from the vagina.

Diaphragm

Diaphragms are much like cervical caps. They are shallow, dome-shaped cups made of silicone.

They cover the cervix after being inserted into the vagina. Like cervical caps, they are most effective when used with spermicide cream or jelly.

Taking care of the diaphragm is important, because it can last up to two years. Wash it regularly, and check for holes and weak spots. Stop using the diaphragm if it has holes, cracks, wrinkles or weak spots. It is important to make sure the diaphragm is covering the cervix before having sex.

They can be inserted hours before sex and have no effect on a woman’s hormones. Diaphragms must be left in for six hours after the last time a woman has sex, but should not be left in for more than 24 hours.

They can also be used during breastfeeding. They may be hard to insert and may need to be refitted.

Side effects: Frequent urinary tract infections and vaginal irritation.

IUD

IUD stands for “intrauterine device.” They are shaped like the letter “T” and inserted into the uterus.

There are two types available in the United States: copper (which is available underneath the brand name ParaGard) and hormonal (which can be either Mirena or Skyla).

The ParaGard IUD is effective for up to 12 years, Mirena for five, and Skyla for three.

Women should not use the ParaGard IUD if they have an allergy to copper,

“I’ve always used suspension as a means to kill the part of myself that can be controlled by fear and pain and to keep that part of me dead,” he said. “You only learn how strong you are and how little control fear has over you by going through experiences that you once thought were impossible. Suspension is a good way of getting into that realm of your basic instincts telling you to run away from those things but you pushing through that, taking control of your actions.”

Even though suspension can be an interesting pastime, Watson warned that

and they should not use any IUD if they have an STD or any kind of cancer.

They must be inserted and removed by a health care provider, and some tests need to be performed before insertion.

Side effects: Changes in period (irregular periods with Mirena or Skyla, heavier with worse menstrual cramps with ParaGard), spotting between periods, mild to moderate pain when the IUD is inserted and cramping or backaches. Pain relievers usually help with most discomforts. More serious side effects include the IUD slipping out of the uterus, infection or even the IUD pushing through the wall of the uterus.

Pregnancy can happen if the IUD slips out of place. If that were to happen, it would be necessary to get the IUD removed immediately

Morning-after pill (emergency contraception)

Commonly called “the morning-after pill,” this form of emergency contraception is taken after unprotected sex.

This type of birth control also works if there was problem with the contraception being used, like a condom breaking.

Pregnancy doesn’t happen right away after sex; it can take up to six days for the sperm and egg to join.

Emergency contraception pills keep the woman’s ovary from releasing an egg for longer than normal and is therefore considered birth control.

The pills become less effective the longer a woman waits to take it, as well as for women with a body mass index higher than 35.

Emergency contraception should not be used as a regular, ongoing form of birth control Side effects: Breast tenderness, headaches, dizziness, nausea and vomiting.

If a woman vomits within two hours of taking the pill, it will no longer be effective and she will need to take it again.

Spermicide

This sounds like a chemical, and that’s because it is. Spermicides contain chemicals that stop sperm from moving. They are available in forms such as creams, foams, gels, film and suppositories.

As mentioned before with birth control methods such as cervical caps and diaphragms, spermicides can be used with other forms of birth control, but they can also be used alone. It is less effective when used alone,

the practice should be done right. If the piercer is inexperienced, someone could get seriously hurt due to infection in the major nerves, blood vessels or tendons being pierced through. If the rigging, or the structure that allows the person to be hung, is set up incorrectly, the person could fall, causing at least physical damages if not emotional trauma.

Subculture Suspension Arts invites the Delaware County Health Department to come to their shows, even though it isn’t required. This allows the

but chances of reducing pregnancy are better than not using any form of birth control at all.

Spermicide is inserted into the vagina with a finger or applicator.

The spermicide needs to sit in the vagina at least 10 minutes before having sex and only lasts for about an hour. It is necessary that a woman insert more spermicide before each time she has sex.

Spermicides do not contain hormones; there will be no side effects in that manner.

Side effects: There is a possibility of allergy to the chemicals in spermicides, and therefore for skin irritations.

FOR MEN Condoms

Condoms are made of latex or plastic and are worn on the penis during sex. They both prevent pregnancy and reduce the risk of transmitting STDs. They can be made more effective by using spermicide as well. If a person is allergic to latex, then they need to use the plastic kind.

Condoms are more likely to break if they have been exposed to heat, air and light for long periods of time.

Only water-based lubricants should be used with latex condoms; oil-based lubricants can damage latex Don’t fall for “novelty” condoms; they are not supposed to be used as pregnancy protection.

Side effects: None if the person is not allergic to latex.

Vasalgel

This is a relatively new form of male birth control that is currently unavailable. Vasalgel is a gel injected into the vas deferens, or the tube through which the sperm swim.

The advantage to Vasalgel is its greater chance of being reversible. The gel can be flushed out of the vas deferens with another injection, restoring the flow of sperm.

Zac Calhoun, a freshman biology major, said he’s heard about Vasalgel and thinks it sounds like a bad idea.

“I think the thought of a gel being injected [into the vas deferens] is the most terrifying thing (in terms of birth control) ever,” Calhoun said. “I don’t mind needles, but not there.”

Vasalgel takes its format from another type of gel contraceptive called RISUG, which has been in clinical trials in India, according to the Parsemus Foundation’s website. It is currently being tested on rabbits, and the first human clinical trial is set for 2016. board to ensure that everything is constructed correctly and all practices are safe.

Subculture Suspension Arts assists beginners in their novice stages with “play” piercings, or piercings with no hooks. They can also attach the hooks to poles where they pull against a stationary object, giving the beginner complete control.

Working up to suspension performance takes time, patience and a lot of baby steps, Watson said.

Deann Hacker, a sophomore biology major, touches up her makeup before walking in the Alpha Phi Omega Pretty in Pink fashion show. The show raised money for Little Red Door, an agency that provides support to breast cancer patients.

FASHION:

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 “We at Little Red Door don’t cure anybody, we don’t treat anybody for their cancer. We provide supportive services and try and support them through that time by providing a number of items and services,” Mathews said. “We do what we can to make them feel comfortable and, hopefully, get on with their lives.”

The show has run every year since 2009. Last year, Banks said that they raised $150, and they hoped to exceed that number this year.

For Jamie Hall, a freshman athletic training major, the show was more than just entertaining.

“I loved the show. It was really inspirational, especially for all the people battling [breast cancer],” she said. “It felt very empowering. The way they tied it all together was really great.”

Freshman biology major Kerragan Garab also liked how they tied the fashion to breast cancer awareness.

“I liked seeing the ‘express yourself’ part,” Garab said. “I liked seeing what the model would wear, as well as the fact that most of the outfits had pink in them or something to do with breast cancer awareness.”

The show’s theme made an impact not only on the audience, but also on the models.

Model and freshman speech language pathology major Lexi Harmacinski said

she doesn’t have personal experience with breast cancer, but she knows it’s not a subject to be taken lightly.

The show was a way of connecting with others and forming bonds against cancer, she said. It allowed her to make new friends and meet some upperclassmen in the process.

“I haven’t necessarily had a member in my family affected by breast cancer, but cancer’s been a common thing in my family and my roommate — her mom recently died from breast cancer,” Harmacinski said.

“I think this is a great cause.

Cancer is the kind of thing that is a big topic, and it needs to be fought.”

Kitchel wins MAC honor for 1st time of career Redshirt junior comes back strong following surgery

INDIVIDUAL STATS MACKENZIE KITCHEL

|

ROBBY GENERAL SPORTS EDITOR sports@bsudailynews.com

After the best statistical weekend in her career, redshirt junior outside attacker, Mackenzie Kitchel was awarded with the Mid-American Conference West Division Player of the Week honors for the first time in her career.

Coming off of a back surgery this season, Kitchel seems to be back in full swing, and head coach Steve Shondell couldn’t be more proud.

“I couldn’t be any happier for her,” Shondell said.

“There’s no one in the world I would rather see win that award just because of everything she has been through.”

Kitchel came off of back surgery a bit too soon, as during one practice Shondell noticed she struggled to move, so he sent her back to the trainer.

Shondell decided it was best to limit her practice from there and keep her out of the rotation against Kent State and Ohio the week before.

This was a move Shondell was particularly pleased with.

“The best thing that I did was rest her the previous weekend,” Shondell said.

“She came back the following [week] ... just like a completely different player.”

The following weekend Kitchel came back in full force.

• Position: Outside Hitter • Height: 6’0” • Year: Junior • Hometown: Greenwood, Ind. • High School: Center Grove • Previous College: Cincinnati • Experience: 2 Letters Against Miami (Ohio) and Bowling Green, Kitchel had 24 kills, averaged 4.00 kills per set, while maintaining a .413 attack percentage. Defensively, she also had three digs as well as three blocks.

Behind Kitchel’s player-of-the-match performance and team-leading 13.5 points and 12 kills against the second ranked MAC East Division Red-Hawks, she added a dominant .310 attack percentage, as Ball State knocked off Miami in three sets (25-19, 25-22, 25-21).

Ball State came back on Saturday to face off against Bowling Green, who sat last in the MAC East Division. Kitchel played even better. She matched her 12 kills from the night before, but did it while hitting a career-high .588 attack percentage. The Cardinals eased through the Falcons in three sets as well (2516, 25-22, 25-11).

Shondell was more than

impressed in her offensive performance.

“I thought it was the best volleyball I’ve seen her play in her entire life,” Shondell said. “The two matches she played might have been the two best matches as a Ball State Cardinal.”

Prior to this weekend, the Cardinals were on a four-game skid, a period of time when Kitchel was suffering through her back injury. During the streak, Kitchel played in seven sets with three kills, nine errors and a -0.188 attack percentage.

With her reinvigorated offensive presence, the Cardinals are beginning to surge forward in the last part of the season.

As long as she stays healthy, Shondell is confident in her playing at this caliber throughout the remainder of the season.

“I think her future depends on how she feels,” Shondell said. “If her back feels good, I think she’ll continue to play well.”

Kitchel and the rest of the Cardinals will look to continue their success with four of the last five matches being at home.

Ball State’s next match will be on Thursday against Toledo (4-19, 1-9), who is currently last place in the MAC West Division.

COACHES PREDICT CARDINALS TO FINISH 2ND IN DIVISION

Fontaine, Morrison named to All-MAC Preseason team

COLIN GRYLLS GENERAL REPORTER @Colin_Grylls

After finishing atop the Mid-American Conference West Division standings last season with a 13-5 conference record (17-14 overall), the preseason MAC coaches’ poll projects the Ball State women’s basketball team to

FOOTBALL:

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Smith will return next year alongside junior defensive end Joshua Posley and sophomore defensive lineman Anthony Winbush, both of whom gained an extra year of eligibility from redshirting.

Winbush was disappointed when he heard the news, but knows they won’t be losing much talent on the defensive line.

“It was kind of heartbreaking,” Winbush said.

finish in second.

Ball State earned more first place votes (eight) than West Division preseason favorite Eastern Michigan (four), who knocked Ball State out of last season’s conference tournament in the semifinals. Both teams will have their work cut out for them, the conference coaches said, 10 of whom picked the East Division’s Ohio University to repeat its regular season conference crown. Ball State and Eastern Michigan split the other two votes.

Two Cardinals, senior

“But I know it’s going to be good having him back next year with me and [Posley] and some of the other guys returning.”

Lembo met with Smith Monday to discuss where he was in his recovery and if he felt ready to come back.

Smith has been a missing piece on the defensive side which has struggled this season. He was one of four defensive players to start every game for the Cardinals.

“Obviously, we miss having him out there very much,” Lembo said. “But we don’t want to throw him out there if he’s not ready.”

Nathalie Fontaine and junior Jill Morrison, were named to the Preseason All-MAC West team.

Fontaine finished the 2014-15 season fifth in the MAC in points per game (16.4) and field goal percentage (49.3 percent), as well as 11th in rebounds per game (7.1). Fontaine also has 1,506 career points in three seasons and has an opportunity to become the second Ball State women’s basketball player to score 2,000 career points if she maintains her career aver-

The 2014 All-Mid-American Conference Third Team defensive lineman started in all 12 games last year for the Cardinals. He was tied for 13th in total tackles on the team with 37, fourth in sacks while forcing two fumbles.

Prior to that, Smith played in 12 games his sophomore year and 11 in his freshman year, including an appearance in the Beef ‘O’ Brady’s Bowl.

In his absence, sophomore Kevin Willis has filled his role and has recorded 24 tackles, which ties for ninth on the team. Willis

age of 502 points per season.

Morrison had a successful season as well. She was the fourth-most accurate threepoint shooter in the conference, sinking 38.0 percent of her shots from behind the arc. Her 82.9 percent mark from the free-throw line was also the third-best rate in the conference and the highest among players returning in 2015-16.

Fontaine and Morrison are two major reasons why three coaches predict Ball State will win the MAC tournament and the resulting

bid to the NCAA tournament. Eastern Michigan also earned three votes, and five coaches picked Ohio as repeat conference champions.

Although the Cardinals have not won the MAC since 2009, the conference has been wide-open with a different champion in each of the last five seasons, and Ball State won the division last year after being projected to finish second. Meanwhile, Central Michigan finished last in the division after 11 predictions to win the West and 10 to win the conference

Lembo said redshirting Smith opens up academic opportunities for him as well.

“He was well on track to graduate in May, ... so now he can add some classes and then add a few classes in the fall and do some nice stuff academically,” Lembo said.

Leaves have fallen, Fashion Month has commenced and fashionistas are trying their hand at this fall’s trends.

From ponchos to lace-up booties, runways from the Fall 2015 fashion shows executed ensembles that we can’t wait to experiment with. Thanks to simple silhouettes from Nina Ricci and Celine, flowy dresses from Chloe and minimalist looks from Hermes and Stella McCartney, some trends are easier to recreate than you think. Although the reality is that every morning we’re in too much of a hurry (thanks to hitting snooze one too many times) for a runway-ready style session, relying on an easy outfit idea doesn’t take a lot of effort

to pull off, as this season’s trends offer a slew of simple looks to recreate.

Put yourself on the style radar with trends inspired by the runways:

Slip dress silhouette:

What you’ll need: First and foremost, wear it as-is while you can, but when weather prohibits, put a fresh spin on the ‘90s-era staple by layering with skinny trousers and a thin sweater. Pair it with some ankle boots, and you’ve nailed it.

Bohemian

What you’ll need: Don’t store away those flowy sundresses yet. Match them with skinny scarves, fur accessories and lace-up boo-

ties for the ultimate Bohemian style. Embroidered tops, off-the-shoulder blouses and vests styled with fringe or suede bags go very well with the crisp autumn air and fallen leaves. Grab grandpa’s vinyls for inspiration and channel your inner Stevie Nicks this fall, ladies.

The minimalist

What you’ll need: Taking the fashion scene by storm, the minimalist look still continues to make the biggest statement of all. Simple, monochromatic ensembles can easily be achieved with a black jumpsuit or comfy gray sweater with a full-length wool coat and modern loafers. The best way to achieve this trend is

to invest in a matching set featuring neutral trousers and a coordinating top. Stay within the same color palette, make sure the shoes don’t overpower the look and voila — that minimal-chic feel is yours.

Amid the go-to t-shirt and leggings combination, break free from the force of Uggs and yoga

pants this season and try an alternative that will surely make you feel like a rockstar for making it to your 8 a.m. in style.
