The Daily News Acting provost fights infection in hospital, condition stable Casey Smith and Jake Fox Daily News Reporters

Robert Morris, acting provost, is fighting an infection at Methodist Hospital in Indianapolis, according to an email from Interim President Terry King.

“We don’t now know how long Bob will be absent from campus,” King said in the email.

“Knowing him, the doctors will have to exert strict controls to keep him from trying to work from ROBERT his hospital bed.”

MORRIS, Jason Ribblett, a Acting professor of chemistry, provost of said Morris — who academic was previously a affairs professor and chair of the department — has stayed close with the faculty from his old department.

“We’re all really concerned,” Ribblett said. “When we found out, we quickly wanted to learn more. We pretty much talk about him daily.”

Friends expressed concern, including Greg Pyle, a dentist who’s known Morris for nearly 40 years and considers him family.

“He’s down to earth, very loyal and very trustworthy. Everything you would want in a friend. Always has been,” Pyle said.

Jagdish Khubchandani, a professor of health, said he’s had a close relationship with Morris since he’s been at the university, and after hearing about the provost’s condition, he’s expecting the best.

“I wish him and his family very well and know that he will fight back and be with us soon,” he said.

While Morris is stable and responding to treatment, King said the acting provost is unable to talk and cannot receive visitors.

As a precaution, King said hospital staff will keep Morris in intensive care.

Marilyn Buck, senior associate provost and dean of University College, will fill in for Morris for the time being.

“I ask that you keep Bob and his family in your thoughts and prayers,” King said. “Please do not send anything to the hospital, nor try to visit. Cards can be sent to the office of the provost.”

King added that he would provide an update when one is available on Morris’ condition, or if there are organizational changes in the provost’s office.

As the acting provost, Morris is the chief academic officer. He also has the title of vice president for academic affairs and is responsible for overseeing all of the university’s academic colleges, plus the graduate school, University College and the Honors College.

Stay in the Halloween spirit all weekend with three days of events. PG 7

Nearly 1,000 people attended 40th case heard outside of Indiana Statehouse Max Lewis Daily News Reporter The Indiana Supreme Court held oral arguments on a case in John R. Emens Auditorium Thursday.

Hearing cases outside the third-floor courtroom at the Indiana Statehouse is something the justices said rarely happens. This event was just the 40th time they have done it since 1994.

The arguments were part of a Supreme Court program that allows people from communities around the state of Indiana to know how the court system works.

“Sometimes the public isn’t always able to come to the Statehouse in Indianapolis,” said Sarah Kidwell, the outreach coordinator for the Indiana Supreme Court. “So it is showcasing the works of the court by going out into the community.”

The process of putting on this event required moving the courtroom to Emens and also meant filling all necessary court positions.

Several local high-ranking officials attended the arguments, such as Interim President Terry King and Muncie Mayor Dennis Tyler. On top of that, nearly 1,000 people were in attendance, which included university students and members of the Delaware County Bar Association. Additionally, students from nine local high schools also attended.

THE ISSUE

Every issue we take a look at a national or worldly topic and get student commentary on what's happening around the globe.

NUMBER OF US FOSTER KIDS RISES; PARENTS' DRUG ABUSE A FACTOR The Associated Press NEW YORK (AP) -- After dropping sharply between 2005 and 2012, the number of children in the U.S. foster care system has increased for a third year in a row, according to new federal data released Thursday. A major factor: Worsening substance abuse by parents.

The annual report from the Department of Health and Human Services tallied 427,910 children in the foster care system as of September 30, 2015, up from about 414,429 a year earlier. The peak was 524,000 children in foster care in 2002, and the number had dropped steadily to about 397,000 in 2012 before rising again.

According to the report, the foster care population rose in 2015 in nearly three quarters of the states, with the largest increases in Florida, Indiana, Georgia, Arizona and Minnesota.

"The national number of children in foster care is still far below where it was 10 years ago, but any increase is cause for concern," said Mark Greenberg, HHS acting assistant secretary for children and families.

Seeking to explain the increase, HHS said parental substance abuse was cited as factor in 32.2 percent of the 2015 cases in which a child was removed

4-DAY FORECAST

from home - up from 28.5 percent in 2012.

Officials at HHS's Administration on Children, Youth and Families interviewed child welfare directors in states experiencing the highest increases in foster care numbers, and were told that a rise in parental abuse of opioids and methamphetamine was a major factor.

The state officials said substance abuse is sometimes affecting entire extended families and neighborhoods, often making a child's placement with relatives unfeasible.

"Investing in prevention, treatment and innovative approaches is critical to keeping children safe and families together and strong," said Rafael Lopez, commissioner of the Administration on Children, Youth and Families. "We can, and must, do better."

Of the children in foster care a year ago, 52 percent were boys. Twenty-one percent were Hispanic, 24 percent black and 43 percent white. Just under 103,000 of them were available for adoption.

During the 2015 fiscal year, 52,931 children were adopted from foster care, roughly the same as in 2014, while 20,789 youths in their late teens aged out of the system without being placed with a permanent family.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Democracy in America

My name is Pat L. Smith – age “almost” 65. I ran in two unsuccessful campaigns for state office, once in 2006 as an Independent for State Senate. The second time in 2010 as a Democrat for State Representative – not because I would label myself as a Democrat, but because the Republican who had been in office forever was doing such a poor job of representing our district and I knew I could do a better job. The Democrats asked me to run against him based on the impression I had made as a candidate in 2006. So I have seen politics up close and personal.

I want you to know that our system of government — this constitutional republic — this 240-year experiment in democracy is NOT a “rigged” system.

Look at the system — when women were not allowed to vote, democracy worked and women won that battle for equal representation. In the '50s and '60s when African Americans were fighting for civil liberties our democracy worked as old, young, white, black all marched together (many sacrificing their lives) for an equal voice and for a seat at the lunch counter. Our democracy worked when the voting age was 21 and young 18-, 19- and 20-year-old men were drafted and sent to fight and die in a war without having the right to vote for the president who was sending them. They fought for freedom whether they believed in the war or not. Some of their names are on the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Wall. The 26th Amendment was ratified July 1, 1971, giving 18-year-olds the right to vote because our democracy works.

Because of all of these people who fought for YOU — before you were even born — your voices can make a difference in this election. A system is not “rigged” when in 2014 Indiana had the worst voter turnout in the nation at 28 percent — that means over 70 percent of the eligible voters did not make the effort to participate in our democracy. That is apathy. That is not a “rigged” system.

There are those who want to take us back — those who would limit choices for women — like [Governor Mike]

Pence who said he would not rest until Roe v. Wade is on “the ash heap of history.” There are those who want to take minorities back to the '60s and instead of making it easier to vote in America they want to make it harder for minorities. There are those who would reverse marriage equality. There are some who do not believe in climate change and want to take us backwards in our fight for cleaner air and a safer planet for everyone. We don’t go backwards in America — we go forward! Sometimes we don’t move forward fast enough — or we have setbacks — but please don’t get discouraged.

President [Barack] Obama has been president for eight years — elected when you were maybe in the 6th-8th grade and you saw HOPE and maybe in 2016 you are starting to lose some of that hope.

Well, I want to take you back to when I was in the 6th grade — we had hope, too. Then we saw JFK assassinated, MLK assassinated — Bobby Kennedy inspired us with these words: “Some men see things as they are and ask why — I dream things that never were and ask why not?” And then in an instant he, too, was gone. Nobody could blame us if we lost our hope in America.

Instead we grew to be the ultimate antiestablishment generation. We demanded freedom not just for ourselves, but also for future generations. Guys grew long hair and young women chose birth control pills and “old people” (65+) thought the world would go to hell if my generation were allowed to vote — but it didn’t. Why? Because we never believed our democracy was “rigged” — wrong at times, yes; unrepresentative, yes. We stepped into the role of leadership, rolled up our sleeves and we got to work and we made this world a better place for YOU! And I’m not going back! And I don’t want you to have to go back either.

Today I am placing my grandson’s future in your hands and I hope that you will NOT be in the 70 percent who choose not to vote in this election. And one day I hope to see your name on the ballot.

Feminists For Action // Photo Courtesy

Clubs urge students to dress appropriately Cultural outfits can reduce people down to stereotype Brynn Mechem Daily News Reporter With Halloween just around the corner and some students preparing to don their costumes, several organizations on campus are hoping to teach students what is and isn’t culturally appropriate for holiday costumes.

Lilia Arroyo, treasurer of the Latino Student Union, said some of the most popular offensive costumes are Native American clothing, Geisha costumes, sugar skull makeup or anything that reduces a group to a stereotype.

“These costumes send a message that people’s experiences aren’t important or that their culture and identity is a joke,” Arroyo said.

In addition to culturally inappropriate costumes, Courtney Jarrett, the Feminists for Action faculty adviser, said some women’s costumes can also be offensive.

“I think many of the costumes offered for women are offensive because they are considered ‘sexy’ when the male version isn’t,” Jarrett said. “I know there are people out there that enjoy wearing fishnets or showing cleavage with their costumes, and that’s totally fine, but those shouldn’t be the only option."

While many costumes have the potential

Brave Space initiative brings residents together Students come together to discuss controversial subjects Lauren Delorenzo Daily News Reporter Sexuality, social class, gender and political views are important and controversial subjects, yet they are not often discussed. Brave Space, a new initiative by Housing and Residence Life, was launched to provide residents with a space to safely discuss their different perspectives about identity, values and experiences.

Michael King, a resident hall director and initiator of the Brave Space Program, said the monthly group conversations led by RA leaders were originally requested by students who wanted a place to come together and share perspectives.

“The college environment is meant to be a place of discussion, of sharing perspectives and experiences and identities,” King said. “The Brave Space initiative sets out to create that opportunity, too.”

Each month, Brave Space focuses on a different theme.

August’s theme of “Introduction to Difference” encouraged students to share controversial opinions, and then respond to them only by asking more questions and listening, in order to build empathy. September focused on “Empathy and Honesty,” and October focuses on “Identity and Values.”

Allison Albright, a freshman nursing major, grew up in a small town and said it was interesting to be exposed to so many different diverse ideas at Brave Space.

“I found it beneficial because it just helps you relate to people that have similarities to you, and also helps you realize that everyone’s different in their unique ways,” Albright said.

Tanna Highlen, a sophomore biology major, encouraged other students to take part.

“People aren’t cookie cutters. That’s definitely something that people, especially shy people, because I’m one of them, need to realize — that nobody’s going to act a certain way, or think a certain way about you,” Highlen said. “We’re not going to be judgmental.”

Brave Space’s latest program involved an activity where statements were read aloud, and if students identified with the

Michael King // Photo Provided

statement, they stepped into the circle.

“When I stepped in alone, it sort of was like shattering my safety barrier, my own comfort,” Highlen said. “It didn’t feel bad. I’m mostly like super shy, so doing that sort of felt like a trust exercise for the rest of the world.”

Multiple residence halls hold Brave Space programs across campus, with 75 student staff members organizing these events within their communities.

Students have been responding well to the programs, and some staff said they have been carrying discussions beyond Brave Space events.

Haley Vandagrifft, a freshman finance and accounting major, said she would like to see the programs be expanded and for more residents to take part.

“I think it would be interesting to see with more people,” she said.

“I think a lot of people would also benefit from being open to others and learning about them and learning about themselves.”

The upcoming topics will attempt to continue to connect Ball State students to better understand who they are and how they can share perspectives, identities and experiences with one another.

“As we move through our day-to-day lives, we are bombarded with messages about what’s going on in the world, and there’s no shortage of controversial topics,” King said. “For students, it’s important to be able to talk about these matters especially as they impact each of us a bit differently. This is an important life skill, by the way; these conversations don’t get any easier once you graduate.”

to be offensive, Arroyo said she doesn’t think everyone is doing it on purpose.

“I think that most people are not trying to be offensive, but many of them have been confronted at some point or have seen something on social media telling them how these are offensive, so at some point they knew that they were being offensive and chose to wear the costume anyway,” she said.

Arroyo added that people may choose to wear these costumes because it is easy, and if the issue doesn’t directly affect them, they may not care.

Jarrett, however, said society is to blame.

“We live in a patriarchal society where many think it’s OK to take over other’s

belief systems, or that people who identify as women should dress and act a certain way for Halloween or any other time,” Jarrett said. “If you have to ask yourself if the costume is actually offensive, it probably is.”

The best way to address this issue today, Arroyo said, is through better education.

“Listen to people who are from these groups and why these costumes are harmful,” she said. “The more you listen, the less likely you will be to do something offensive.”

SUPREME COURT Continued from page 1

Destiny Walker, a senior legal studies major, served as the honorary bailiff at the arguments.

“It was super exciting,” Walker said.

“It’s always going to be like a great honor to be able to say that you were the honorary bailiff for the first time that they have ever been at Ball State.”

Walker was chosen through an essay contest held by the legal studies department, and she hopes to attend law school after graduation.

“I’ve always thought being a judge would be cool,” Walker said. “Now I’m thinking judge or justice would be awesome.”

The case, Megenity v. Dunn, was originally tried in Floyd Superior Court in New Albany, Indiana before it went on to the Indiana Court of Appeals. Megenity and Dunn were students in the same class at a karate school.

On Dec. 1, 2012, Megenity was holding a pad the students were practicing front kicks into during a drill. When it was Dunn’s turn to take his kick, Megenity said Dunn executed a jump kick

rather than a front kick.

She was knocked down and tore her ACL, which damaged her meniscus as well, according to case files. She then underwent surgery and rehabilitation.

Megenity filed a complaint against Dunn alleging that he “negligently, recklessly and unreasonably caused” her injuries.

The first time the case was tried, the judge sided with Dunn. But once the case was appealed, the majority of the judges sided with Megenity.

The oral arguments at Ball State focused on whether or not Dunn’s actions fell under “ordinary behavior” of the sport of karate.

Smoke break Emma Rogers Daily News Photographer

all State became a tobacco-free university in 2013, but a small section at the edge of campus exists to accommodate those with a smoking habit. At the beginning of the 2015 school year, the university added a designated smoking section located at the edge of campus on Petty Road. Previously, smokers congregated just off campus near residential areas, which frustrated some who lived near there.

Since the fenced smoking area was added over a year ago, students and faculty have used the location for more than just a five-minute smoke break between classes.

Friendships have been formed, and many smokers spend hours every day socializing in this area that has been nicknamed “the box.” While the feedback of “the box” is generally positive, students would like to see some improvements, such as benches.

Contact Emma Rogers with any questions or concerns at evrogers@bsu.edu.

Kylie Kaiser smokes while sitting on the ground in the designated smoking area on campus. “The box” currently has no seating, so many students sit on the ground or on the trash receptacles.

Students, faculty and guests visit “the box” in between classes as well as during their free time. Smokers spend a range of time, some for minutes and some for hours.

People in the designated smoking area on campus play the card game “B.S.”

Students work on homework in “the box” between classes.

Kara Carson draws on Jeremy Anderson’s arm in “the box,” a designated area for smoking on campus. The area has created a community, and while the users may go to “the box” with the intention of smoking, many stay to socialize much longer. “There have been times I planned on spending 30 minutes here but I wind up spending three hours,” Anderson said.

Cigarette butts and empty cartons lay in the ash urns inside “the box.” Several smokers who use the area said a maintenance person cleans the area once a week.

Auston Dortch and Austin Lewis smoke in the smoking section on Petty Road.

Smokers socialize while spending time in “the box.” Since many people spend many hours in “the box” each day, the smokers play cards, listen to music and study for classes.

BEHIND THE MASK AT SON OF SCAREVANIA Students volunteer to scare, improv scary characters

If you have gotten the chance to visit Cornerstone Center for the Arts’ newest haunted attraction, Son of Scarevania, you have probably experienced some of the spine-chilling characters who wait around every corner, ready to jump out and terrorize you.

However, what you may not know is that many of these creepy creatures are Ball State students, hiding behind horrifying masks and dramatic costumes.

Throughout the time Son of Scarevania has been open this season, there have been more than 30 Ball State students who have come to volunteer as actors in the haunted house.

There are many different roles that

IVERSITY

must be filled each night at Son of Scarevania in order for visitors to get the full, frightening experience of the haunt.

Some of these characters include a crazy dentist and a scared patient, a butcher, a demented nun, a pigman and even an insane Santa Claus.

Students are not automatically handed a role once they arrive at Son of Scarevania. In fact, students can usually choose what character they want to play for the night.

“Actors typically are able to choose who they want to play unless someone else has already claimed that character,” said Jessie Irwin, education and marketing coordinator at Cornerstone Center for the Arts. “They’re encouraged to really make the character their own and develop their best scare tactics.”

Many students have been volunteering at Son of Scarevania in order to fulfill

service hour requirements for various students organizations.

Janell Barker, a junior speech pathology major, volunteered with her sorority, Alpha Omicron Pi. While volunteering at Son of Scarevania, Barker played “The Crawler,” a character who is insane and creeps along the floor, waiting to jump out at unsuspecting visitors.

“There was a huge group of high school guys going through, and they were totally distracted,” Barker said. “They saw me and screamed. Scaring a big group of guys [was fun] because they were acting like they were big and bad."

Other Ball State students have been spending their nights at Son of Scarevania to improve their acting skills.

Various theater students have been volunteering their time at the attraction to get more experience.

“What’s really fun about this is that you just kind of get to do whatever you want.

It’s all improvised,” said Rachael Neinast, a sophomore theatrical studies major.

Neinast has volunteered multiple times at Son of Scarevania this month, playing the role of a patient in an insane asylum.

“There’s definitely a lot of thinking on your feet,” Neinast said. “Improv [acting] is something that I struggle with, but I feel that this has helped me to be more confident.”

Son of Scarevania will be open for its final weekend on today and Saturday.

If you would like to visit the haunt and get some frights from fellow students, or possibly even volunteer your own time as a character in the haunt, make sure you visit this weekend before it is closed for the season.

SOCCER

Continued from page 1 It was the first — and only — shot allowed by Ball State in its 10th shutout of the season.

With the win, the Cardinals (14-3-2, 9-1-1 MAC) locked up their second consecutive MidAmerican Conference regular season championship, but senior defender Lorina White wants more.

"It means a lot [to repeat], but we have to keep working because it's not over," White said. "We still have the tournament and we don't want to get knocked out and get too cocky like last time."

Last season, Ball State won the MAC regular season title, but lost to Akron in the first round of the tournament. The memory is still fresh in the team's mind.

"I think the girls use their experience," said head coach Craig Roberts. "I think the camaraderie and the interaction between the players is stronger every time we get together. They're really enjoying their soccer, we're enjoying coaching them ... but the fact that we're remaining humble and we keep on reflecting is getting us to where we need

to get to."

The loss to Akron last season was a scoreless tie that went to penalty kicks, but Ball State had no such issues with Miami (8-8-2, 5-4-2 MAC). The Cardinals put 15 shots on goal and took 34 shots overall. Ten different players had a shot on goal, and four had more than one.

"They're not one-dimensional," Roberts said. "We have different diversities of attack and we have different systems. ... It's very hard to handle and I think with that versatility that we have, it's unpredictable."

Freshman defender Yela Ziswiler added to that unpredictability in the 63rd minute. She took the ball well outside the box on the right side of the field, turned and fired a long shot toward the top left corner of the net.

Senior Miami goalkeeper Vic Maniaci entered the game leading the MAC with 90 saves and added 13 more against Ball State, but she couldn't quite reach Ziswiler's shot.

"We've been encouraging her to get the ball in a little bit quicker and to actually take some shots out there," Roberts said. "It's something we have visited prior to the game we know she has the ability to do. It's just another great, consistent performance

from the freshman."

It was Ziswiler's first goal of the season, and earlier in the game junior midfielder Lucy Walton scored her first to put Ball State up 1-0. Entering the tournament, 12 different Cardinals have scored a goal this year.

Ziswiler is also part of Ball State's vaunted back line, along with White, senior Leah Mattingly and sophomore Taylor Pooley. All four have started every game this season, and the Cardinals lead the MAC in shutouts and goals allowed per game (.74).

As the top seed, the Cardinals will play at home in the tournament. Walton said it should be a significant advantage given that Ball State is 10-0-1 at Briner Sports Complex this season.

"We have a really good fanbase, so I think seeing all of my friends — and even people we don't know —come out and support us is really motivating," Walton said. "Just everything, the whole atmosphere when we come here — we don't lose at our field."

Ball State will host 8-seed Northern Illinois (4-10-4, 3-6-2 MAC) in the MAC quarterfinals at 1 p.m. Sunday.

Cross country team enters MAC Championship Cardinals look to finish with different results compared with last year Cameron DeBlasio Cross Country Reporter As her final cross country season begins to wind down, senior Ericka Rinehart continues to focus on helping her team put up a strong showing at every meet. This week, the focus turns to the Mid-American Conference Championship.

“It’s my last cross-country conference,” Rinehart said before quickly turning the attention to the team as a whole. “We’re ready to prove ourselves and prove that our team is better than what we’ve been in the past.”

The Cardinals head to Kent, Ohio, Saturday looking to improve on a last place finish in 2015. Distance coach Raynee DeGrio said she anticipates a

different result this season.

“I came in with the expectation of hoping to be a top-six team, and the way things have shaken out, I still think that’s possible,” DeGrio said.

“It’ll take a really good day for us to be in the top half. I think if we left with an eighth-place finish, we’d be pretty satisfied.”

Sophomore Stephanie McElhaney knows that improving the team’s placement from last season is important.

“We want to place anywhere from fourth to eighth, which I think our team is capable of doing,” McElhaney said. “I think that’s our ultimate goal.”

The MAC Championship features several formidable foes, including Eastern Michigan. The Eagles are ranked No. 14 in the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association poll, and DeGrio believes they are one of many talented opponents Ball State will face

this weekend.

“Eastern Michigan is one of the top ten teams in the country, in my opinion,” DeGrio said. “They’re going to be tough for anyone to beat.

Toledo has a really good squad.

Northern Illinois is very good too.”

Rinehart, echoing the sentiments of her coach and teammate, said the priority is to continue to show signs of progress as a program.

“The mindset is that we want to be better,” Rinehart said. “It’s a lot different than last year. To be in the top eight would be a huge improvement as a team.”

Rinehart and the rest of her team will take their marks at 11 a.m.

Saturday at the Kent State University Golf Club for the women’s MAC Championship race.
