University increases distance education

Department celebrates growing importance of digital learning RAYMOND GARCIA ACADEMIC REPORTER | ragarcia@bsu.edu Ball State is using Online Education Week to tout its success after increasing enrollment by 14.9 percent.

The week is a chance for people to learn the importance of online education and to celebrate online students, said Staci Davis, executive director of online and distance education programs.

Many of the events will be live-streamed.

“It brings a new light and new scope to their perception of us, that [online students] are an important part of who Ball State is,” Davis said.

Davis said last year’s inaugural celebration was successful, and they wanted to expand the events this year by having a keynote speaker.

Larry Ragan, co-director of the Center for Online Innovation in Learning at Pennsylvania State University, will be speaking about the relevance of online education and how organizations can be more innovative with it.

One of the university’s focuses in President Paul W. Ferguson’s Centennial Commitment is online education. The goal is to provide contemporary practices for online learning.

Ashley Adams, assistant director of student services, said one of the factors that makes the online program successful is the design of the courses.

“It is not just a copy of the on-campus course put in an online format,” Adams said. “The courses are built to connect with the student to make sure there are meaningful assessments and assignments that they can do online.”

For them, there may be a solution: beard transplants.

Yes, it is a real practice, and the numbers are increasing.

QUARTERBACK LEADING IN TURNOVERS Freshman starter has room to grow, coach Lembo says EVAN SIDERY FOOTBALL REPORTER | @esidery There have been 12 quarterbacks who have played for the Ball State football team since the new millennium; six of them have been freshman starters.

Freshman quarterback Riley Neal is the newest edition to that list, and he is reaching historic territory in terms of giveaways.

Since his first start against the Northwestern Wildcats, he has committed seven total turnovers. His first game without a fumble or interception was against Western Michigan.

Offensive coordinator and

former Cardinal quarterback Joey Lynch believes Neal has a lot to learn.

“He’s a football player, but at the same time, he needs to understand that Division-1 football is different than high school,” Lynch said. “There’s a time and place for everything.”

After every possession, even when Neal commits a turnover, Lynch talks to his quarterback on the sidelines about his progressions and reads he made.

They talk about what went right, what went wrong and what he can do to improve on the next drive.

“It’s all about making sure his eyes are in the right place, go through his progressions the right way. And whether it’s an interception or incompletion, it’s the same progression,” Lynch said. “As long as he’s seeing things right and trusting 1. CLOUDY

Cardinals make top 8 despite weekend losses Women’s volleyball works to improve away-game record

|

ZACH CAINS VOLLEYBALL REPORTER @ZPC1329

Ball State locked up a guaranteed seed in the Mid-American Conference women’s volleyball tournament this weekend, even if it wasn’t how they wanted to earn it.

Over the weekend, the Cardinals suffered two tough losses, but their overall conference record was good enough to place them in the top eight teams in the MAC. “We definitely would have

liked to win and get in, but we are in it now and that was one of our first goals of the season,” head coach Steve Shondell said. “Now we can go for our second one, and that is to win the tournament.”

The Cardinals’ two losses came from a five-set match against Western Michigan and from three straight sets to top-seeded Northern Illinois.

Road matches have not been the Cardinals’ strong suit this season, as they are 2-10 in away matches in 2015.

Both losses this past weekend were on the road, bringing their final road record in the conference to 2-6, having not won on the road since the end of September.

“We played hard against Western [Michigan], and they made some great plays to beat us in the fifth,” Shondell said. “Against Northern [Illinois], the girls seemed to be sluggish coming off such a heartbreaking loss the night before and never got going right against the Huskies.”

Ball State’s current 7-7 conference record will place them in the bottom half of the conference tournament rankings, even if they close out next weekend with a pair of home wins.

Although Ball State locked in a tournament spot, they will need to overcome something they have struggled with all season, playing on the road.

Freshman quarterback Riley Neal had his first game without a fumble or interception against Western Michigan last week. His seven-game turnover streak is second in the record books behind Kelly Page in the 2009 season.

NEAL:

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Since 2000, Talmadge Hill holds the mark for the most consecutive games with a turnover with eight in his sophomore season (2001).

Neal has only thrown three interceptions since he became the starter on Sep. 29 against Northwestern, but the fumbles have been affecting him.

He has coughed up the ball four times in his six starts, which leads all quarterbacks since 2000 in that span.

Neal commented on one of his fumbles after the team’s 23-21 loss against Central Michigan.

“I fumbled on a play when I was at the top of my three-step drop, and I got hit when I wasn’t looking,” Neal said. “So, [I’m] not really too worried about that.”

Despite the fumbles, Lynch still relies and expects his quarterback to make a play, especially in short down situations.

“If it’s third-and-2, third-and-3, and he’s at

the sticks, I fully expect him to lower his shoulder and find a way to get a first down for the football team,” Lynch said. “But if it’s first-and-10, there’s no need to take unnecessary hits.”

Head coach Pete Lembo has noticed the turnover trend Neal has been on, and he credits the fumbles to the freshman’s over-aggressive nature.

“His ball security has been pretty good,” Lembo said. “It’s more just kinda toning down his fearlessness.”

Neal’s fearlessness is a quality that attracted Lembo and Lynch to recruit the Yorktown native.

His confidence in being able to truck over defenders changed the outcome in multiple games when it led to a fumble.

“You can’t take the aggressiveness out of him,” Lynch said. “But as you keep progressing, you gotta understand when to be an efficient football player and when to be a smart quarterback.”

Lembo said that Neal needs to understand that there is a next play.

There’s no need to attempt to make something out of nothing when it is not needed.

Lynch, who appeared in 37 games for the Cardinals between 2003 and 2006, had advice as a former Cardinal quarterback.

“Don’t be afraid to make a mistake. But at the same time, he knows how detrimental turnovers can be,” Lynch said. “You just gotta keep playing. When you play quarterback, it’s going to happen.”

Neal will remain at Ball State for the next three years, and while he’s shown his talent, Lembo still believes that it’s going to take time to mold him into the Mid-American Conference quarterback the team needs.

“He’s a good, young player, and we just need to be patient,” Lembo said.

“I think he’s doing some good things out there.

There’s gonna be some bumps in the road.”

While the Cardinals are no longer bowl-eligible, they still have two games coming up. The next is against Ohio on Nov. 17.

Though the team hasn’t been able to pick up the victories, they don’t blame the road, rather seeing it as playing tough opponents and just coming up short.

Time is closing in until the MAC tournament begins.

Shondell said he knew it would be a tough weekend but would be a great learning experience so that his girls know what to work on for the upcoming tournament. “[Western Michigan and Northern Illinois] are two very tough and hungry schools, so I knew we would be able to see what things we needed to work on,” Shondell said. “It’s always been about being tournament ready, and so going against tough teams,

win or lose, is good for us.”

Western Michigan (1415, 10-4) and Northern Illinois (16-10, 12-2) are the top two seeds in the MAC West Division.

While the MAC championship isn’t at Worthen Arena, it won’t necessarily be a road game since it will be hosted on a neutral court. The tournament will be at Miami University, so unless they face the Redhawks, it will be an even playing field.

“It’ll be interesting to see how it goes, being on a neutral court. It definitely is a different type of an environment that the team is looking forward to,” Shondell said.

While this will not be a true road contest, the Cardinals

have not played particularly well in neutral locations. This season, they are 2-4 while playing in neutral matches.

Tournament is close, and the Cardinals have one more weekend of the regular season, returning home for the last two matches of the season.

These last few weeks are the most important in getting them in post-season shape.

“We have two more tough opponents looking to gain momentum for the tournament, so that kind of competition will be great for us,” Shondell said. “Now that we don’t have to worry about making the tournament, we can put all our energy to being ready for it.”

Muncie unlikely to have extreme earthquakes

Census Bureau gives surveys in campus halls

County has plan in case disaster happens in city CASEY SMITH CRIME REPORTER | casmith11@bsu.edu

Data cultivated to help inform policy makers

A strong 6.3-magnitude earthquake struck off Eastern Indonesia on Wednesday, causing people to flee their homes in panic.

Earthquakes happen every day, but the vast majority are concentrated along the boundaries between tectonic plates. The nearest plates are at the California coast, the mid-Atlantic and the Gulf of Mexico, which leaves Indiana out of more prominent earthquake zones.

Although Indiana is not immune to earthquakes, the likelihood of an earthquake with a magnitude greater than 5.0 is low. “[Muncie] is an area that’s had very little seismic activity, even looking at the historical record,” said Michael Hamburger, an Indiana University geologist.

While Indiana is familiar with small to moderate earthquakes, Hamburger said they almost always originate in the Wabash Valley Fault System near Evansville in southern Indiana. The Wabash River Valley fault line runs between Vincennes and Terre Haute. Most predicted epicenters are located in southwest Indiana and southern Illinois.

The New Madrid Fault has produced eight earthquakes in or near Indiana since 2000, according to the United States Geological Survey.

About 30,000 earthquakes between 2.5 and 5.4 occur each year worldwide, according to the World Data Center for Seismology.

of three significant earthquakes originating near the area since 1931. The U.S. Geological Survey database shows there is a .54 percent chance of a major earthquake within 30 miles of the city.

A 5.2 magnitude earthquake that shook Indiana on April 18, 2008, was centered in Mount Carmel, Ill., where the Wabash and Ohio rivers converge. That quake was the strongest in the state in 40 years.

Earthquakes with magnitudes between 2.5 and 5.4 are often felt, but generally only cause minor damage, according to UPSeis, an educational website from Michigan Technological University’s Department of Geological Engineering and Sciences.

The most recent earthquake felt in the Muncie area was on December 30, 2010, according to the United States Geological Survey and the World Data Center

The amount of earthquakes with a magnitude greater than 5.0 is low in Muncie, unlike the one shown above in Nepal in May, which had a magnitude of 7.4. Muncie has had three significant earthquakes originating near the Wabash Valley Fault System since 1931.

for Seismology. The 3.8-magnitude quake was centered five miles southeast of Greentown, Ind. This region “is one of the quietest areas in this part of the country,” Hamburger said. The best-known Midwestern earthquakes come from the New Madrid Seismic Zone, located well south and west of this quake.

“The lower the magnitude, the more common,” Hamburger said. “A magnitude 3.0 earthquake happens about 10 times each year— once every month or couple months. They tend to happen at the small magnitudes pretty frequently, but in this

area it’s very rare.”

According to the Delaware County Emergency Management Agency’s website, there is “an all-hazards, all-risks plan in place for the county.

This plan works for tornadoes, floods, earthquakes and other natural events.”

“The Ball State Crisis Management Team works closely with emergency response, law enforcement and medical agencies in Delaware County to ensure a coordinated response in the event of a crisis,” said Alan Hargrave, chair of the crisis management team and associate vice president of student affairs.

is part of the reason why events such as Online Education Week are put together.

“We are always looking

to celebrate online student success; we have a lot of very successful online students academically and civically,” Adams said.

Census surveys have recently been conducted in residence halls, and a U.S. Census Bureau official wants students to know the importance of their responses.

The most recent survey visit took place on Thursday in Noyer Complex.

The exact survey conducted is unknown due to strict census policy.

In August, field representative Cameron Kirby conducted the American Community Survey, which is used to measure people in households and group quarters, like campus housing, in Woodworth Complex.

The American Community Survey collects data on an ongoing basis to provide every community with the information they need to make important decisions, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Information from the survey generates data that helps determine how more than $400 billion in federal and state funds are distributed.

“Surveys conducted by the census supplies a lot of important information to different organizations in communities and across the country,” Kirby said. “These statistics affect things like

its orders.

“When someone places an order online, we check the credit card information,” Gropper said. “At delivery, we also ask for ID in person.

If the person is underage or the order was fraudulent, the order will be canceled.”

Gropper said Beer Right Now does not “allow or condone underage drinking.”

Some Ball State students seemed to like the prospect of a company like Beer Right Now. “I like the idea; it sounds like it would help cut down on drunk driving,” said Nicholas Burton, a junior creative writing major. “I’m not a big drinker, so it’s unlikely that I would need to use it, though.”

housing, school corporations and hospitals.”

Although the American Community Survey response rate is relatively high among college students, the overall awareness of what the survey is about and what the U.S. Census Bureau does remains low, said David Schuler, U.S. Census Bureau data dissemination specialist.

“The importance of doing the American Community Survey is across the board, not just college students,” Schuler said. “By doing this, you are doing your part to help the community you are a part of.”

The purpose of conducting these surveys is not only for statistical purposes, but also to make people aware of the census, he said.

“We try to work to inform students of why we are out there,” Schuler said. “With the U.S. Census, oftentimes people just think of the 10year survey to count population, but we do so much more than that.”

The U.S. Census Bureau conducts multiple tests year-round regarding not only population, but topics like economy, business, education, health and international trade.

“All the statistics that you see in the news that involve things like poverty or the economy all come from us and the surveys we conduct,” Schuler said.

“Without the participation of people at the local and national level, we wouldn’t get the results we do.”

child life major, said the “only downside” would be spending too much money after drinking too much. Dixon said she “can’t wait to turn 21 if something like [Beer Right Now] exists.”

Beer Right Now also has a sister website, iwantbeerrightnow.com, which gives customers recipes, bar suggestions and drinking games. The website also has different articles to read on related topics.

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Dr. William Yates of Chicago performs the surgery and said he has seen the numbers grow for himself at his practice, Dr. Yates Hair Science.

“We used to get one or two people a year who were interested [in beard transplants],” he said. “Now, I would say we see at least three or four a month, and one or two of those [people] go through with [the transplant].”

The transplant works like other hair transplants do. Hair is removed from the back and sides of the head with the root, or bulb, still attached. The face is numbed where the hair will go. Tiny incisions of about one millimeter are made in the face or mustache area, and the hair is planted in the incision.

“It takes about two months to see growth,” Yates said.

“But you can’t tell it’s even been moved.”

The beard can be shaved like normal after it has started growing, and will grow back normally.

The procedure can cost up to $7,000, according to International Business Times.

Going through surgery

just for a beard might seem extreme, but Yates argues there is more to it than “being a hipster.”

“It might be a ‘man thing,’ but lots of men just don’t have confidence without a beard,” he said. “They just don’t feel whole.”

Drew Happe, a sophomore actuarial science major, doesn’t have any facial hair.

However, he is not convinced undergoing a transplant is worth it.

“I mean, I’m sad that I don’t have facial hair, but not sad enough to pull some from the back of my head for it,” Happe said.

For those who aren’t happy with the results, there is an “out,” Yates said. Hair removal and waxing are two options to reverse the transplant.

However, Yates said, so far, he’s never had a patient tell him they were dissatisfied with their decision.

And while the number of beard transplants is increasing, Yates said there could be more.

“There isn’t enough awareness about it. I think there would be more men interested if they knew it was an option,” Yates said.

Beard transplants are available in major cities in the United States, such as New York City, Chicago and Dallas.

ith changing seasons come changing trends. Colder weather calls for new accessories that offer both style and functionality. Here are six autumn essentials: 1. JACKET

With temperatures not quite hitting freezing, breaking out the winter coat may feel premature. Find a thicker jacket in a warm color before settling into the puffy-coated winter blues.

2.

2. SCARF

Scarves are versatile accessories. There are an abundance of styles and ways to wear them. A thick infinity scarf is a fall musthave for style and practicality.

3. BEANIE

Finding a beanie that fits properly is a must for cold weather.

Although the saying “the majority of body heat is lost through the head” is a myth, it is true that the face, head and chest are more sensitive to temperature changes than the rest of the body. Find a hat that matches your style and make it a staple in your fall wardrobe.
