NOYER RESIDENT WHO DIED REMEMBERED AS ‘GREAT GUY’ One by one, about 30 Baker/Klipple staff members, fellow residents and friends gathered Tuesday night to celebrate the life of freshman computer science major and Noyer Complex resident Zachary Barnes. Barnes died unexpectedly Tuesday morning after falling ill, said Lisa Renze-Rhodes, director of media strategy. A high school classmate of Barnes’ talked about how Barnes would drive fellow students around on the back of his wheelchair. Baker/Klipple hall director Ashley Taylor led the conversation and said Barnes was extremely special to the floor. Taylor also said cards will be available at the Baker/ Klipple front desks, and there are plans to purchase a wreath for his family. Funeral arrangements are pending. If students would like to talk to someone about their emotions or about how Barnes’ loss is impacting them, they can call the Counseling Center at 765-285-1736 or go to Lucina Hall Room 320 to make an appointment. Timothy Hess, interim director of counseling and health services, said the Health Center will make time available for anyone who has been impacted by Barnes’ death. – MICHELLE KAUFMAN

A nozzle is pressed and dark liquid streams into a cup. Foam appears at the top, but the drink isn’t beer — it’s coffee.

This innovative concoction is called nitro coffee and has been available at The Cup for about four months. It may not be brand new, but it’s still a novelty in Muncie. The Village business might have been the second place in Indiana to serve nitro coffee, said Kyle Raines, who is a general manager at The Cup. The Cup installed a system behind their counter to create the coffee. A double tap
runs down to three kegerators, which normally function as draft beer dispensers. The kegerators are filled with cold steep espresso running through a nitrogen tank. The coffee and nitrogen interact for about 48 hours, and the pressure creates a nitrogenous liquid. Nitro coffee’s origins are hazy, but Cuvee Coffee, a shop in Austin, Texas, started offering the drink in 2012.
The Cup employees found out about nitro coffee through the Internet, but a customer also mentioned nitro coffee after hearing about it during a visit to Texas. “After doing more research, we had everything installed within three days,” Raines said. The Cup has sold three to four half-barrel kegs, or 46.5 to 62 gallons-worth, of nitro coffee since it installed the equipment.

Western Michigan is riding a four-game win streak, blowing out its latest victim, Eastern Michigan, 58-28. It has averaged 36 points per game while allowing 29. It’s high-scoring offense is one of the main threats Ball State’s head football coach Pete Lembo sees in the Bronco offense. “They’ve got some very explosive skill players that are performing very well right now on offense,” Lembo said. The bulk of their offense comes from their top two receivers, Daniel Braverman and Corey Davis.
