Interim president Terry King sent a university-wide email on March 9 addressing “intolerant fliers” found on the campus over Spring Break. In response, King denounced “racism and discrimination” and encouraged students to promote inclusion, cultural literacy and understanding.

Alt-right fliers found on campus

Ball State not 1st campus to find posters from Identify Europa Kara Berg Daily News Reporter The university is urging students to attend a campus diversity event in response to the distribution of fliers promoting white supremacy in the Architecture Building.

One of the fliers said, “Love who you are. Be white.” The other said, “Our future belongs to us. Identity Europa.”

All of the posters the university has found have been taken down, said Kathy Wolf, vice president for marketing and communications. The posters weren’t a onetime incident and occurred over the course of the week, Wolf said.

“What we believe is external groups are obviously trying to use, in this case, the campus or CAP to get across whatever message they’re trying to communicate,” Wolf said.

The university reported the fliers to the police, but because it isn’t a crime, no investigation has been started, Wolf said.

CARDINALS FALL TO AKRON 74-70

WOMEN'S BASKETBALL

Team ousted from tournament in semifinals Ryan Flanery Men’s Basketball Reporter

The Mid-American Conference Tournament semifinal between Ball State men’s basketball (21-12, 11-8 MAC) and the Akron Zips (26-7, 15-4) provided early March Madness drama, but the Cardinals could not pull away a victory, losing 74-70 Friday night.

Akron came out of the gate fast, taking a 7-0 lead in the first 1:15 of the game. The quick lead forced Ball State Head Coach James Whitford to call a timeout, but that did not slow down the Zips.

“It was really hard for us from the beginning on,” Whitford said. “I am really disappointed we didn’t win because I thought we were more than capable.”

THE ISSUE

Every issue we take a look at a national or worldly topic to see what's happening around the globe.

EDITED BY RICH NORRIS AND JOYCE LEWIS

A robust February jobs report points to resilient US economy The Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. employers added a robust 235,000 jobs in February and raised pay at a brisk pace — signs that a resilient economy has given many companies the confidence to hire in anticipation of solid growth ahead.

With the unemployment rate dipping to a low 4.7 percent from 4.8 percent, the job market appears to be fundamentally healthy or nearly so.

Friday's employment report from the government showed that more people began looking for jobs last month, an encouraging sign that they've grown confident about their prospects. Hiring was strong enough to absorb those new job seekers as well as some of the previously unemployed.

The picture of an economy on solid footing nearly eight years after the Great Recession ended has made it all but certain that the Federal Reserve will raise interest rates next week and signal the likelihood of additional rate hikes ahead.

February's jobs report was the first to cover a full month under President Donald Trump. During the presidential campaign, Trump had cast doubt on the validity of the government's jobs data, calling the unemployment rate a "hoax."

But just minutes after the report was released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time, Trump retweeted a news report touting the job growth.

Later in the day, his spokesman, Sean Spicer, quoted Trump as saying of the jobs reports: "They may have been phony in the past, but they are very real now," a comment that incited laughter, including from Spicer himself, during a press briefing.

4-DAY FORECAST Katie Pluchel Weather Forecaster

Economists were mainly encouraged by the employment data.

"It's hard to find much to dislike in the February jobs report," said Michael Feroli, an economist at JPMorgan Chase, said.

About a quarter of the job gains occurred in construction, which added 58,000 jobs, the most in a decade. Unseasonably warm weather likely inflated that figure, economists said. Last month was the second-warmest February since 1895, according to the Commerce Department.

Some economists cautioned that last month's outsized job gains might be hard to sustain. If warm weather did help elevate construction hiring in February, for example, it might also have the effect of subtracting from job growth that would normally occur in early spring.

"There will probably be some weather payback in March," Ted Wieseman, an economist at Morgan Stanley, said in an email.

Mining, which includes oil and gas drilling, added 7,700 jobs last month, the most in nearly three years. Energy companies have increased drilling in response to higher oil prices, reversing nearly two years of job losses. Oil prices have dropped this week, though.

And as unemployment declines, hiring typically slows as the pool of available workers shrinks. Many small businesses are complaining that they cannot find workers with the qualifications they need. This trend could weigh on hiring in coming months.

Stock prices fluctuated throughout the day Friday, and the Dow Jones industrial average closed up a modest 44 points.

FLIERS

Continued from page 1 The fliers constitute free speech, but there is speech that is fostered at Ball State and speech that is not, Wolf said.

“We are definitely a university that has an environment here that fosters respect,” Wolf said. “We’re known for our welcoming community and the respect we have as a community for each other. And we plan to continue to have that here.”

Identify Europa is a white nationalist group that has been putting these posters up on college campuses across the nation, according to news accounts. The group’s Twitter account says its “Project Siege” is a “beginning of a long-term cultural war of attrition against the academia’s Cultural Marxist narrative that is maintained and propagated into society.”

“The posting of these fliers was an impersonal, secretive act, that even if protected by the First Amendment, does little to advance civil discourse about the kinds of weighty, societal issues that exactly should be discussed at a university,” interim president Terry King said in a university-wide email.

“To be clear, racism and discrimination in all forms are abhorrent, and are incompatible with Ball State’s values and policies.”

King said he hopes that campus will continue to be a haven for the peaceful exchange of ideas. He said it is important to make sure students work to understand other viewpoints, even when they conflict with their own beliefs.

“I would like to challenge each of us to continue to engage in behaviors that promote inclusion and cultural literacy and understanding,” King said. “It has been famously said that the remedy to offensive speech is better speech, so let’s engage in that dialogue. Let’s have those conversations. Let’s live our Beneficence Pledge by extending dignity and respect to everyone with whom we interact and encounter.”

King said he encourages students go to an event on campus later this month about learning from diverse perspectives in higher education. Lourdes Rivera, an associate professor of counselor education at the City University of New York, will be speaking about educating an increasingly diverse nation at 6 p.m.

Turning Point USA members hold up various signs in Bracken Library after their first meeting. TPUSA is new club at Ball State that aims to talk about political issues in a civil, nonpartisan manner.

Turning Point USA comes to campus Organization aims to discuss politics in nonpartisan manner Kara Berg Daily News Reporter Political discussions can get ugly.

But at Turning Point USA, a club new to Ball State this semester, the members aim to talk about political issues in a civil, nonpartisan manner.

They stay away from social problems — which is where the attacks can get personal, said founder and president Luke Wiese — and focus instead on issues like health care, taxes, gun laws and free speech on college campuses.

Their goal is to get students talking about issues through nonpartisan debate and discussion.

“If my job on campus is to talk about

issues, I need to do it from both sides,” Wiese said. “I think working in a bipartisan manner … allows us to bring kids from both sides to talk about issues and think about best way to fix them.”

Wiese started a Turning Point chapter at Ball State because he said he didn’t feel there was a group on campus that informed students well about political issues.

“I felt like there was a need for grassroots activism on college campuses where you take a nonpartisan look at things and … talk about these issues with students to enhance their knowledge in the political world,” Wiese said.

At one meeting in late February, the group held a round table discussion and invited students with any political belief to attend. The nonpartisan style gets rid of the party barrier

and lets people just focus on the ideas, said Matt Organ, a senior telecommunications major.

“At times we disagreed and it was obvious, but no one got violent or like ‘You’re wrong, I hate you,’” Organ said. “As long as people are willing to discuss ideas and the implementation of ideas, we’ll always be open to discussion.”

Because most Republicans aren’t going to go to a Ball State Democrats meeting, and vice versa for Democrats, Organ said, Turning Point lets students hear opinions from the other side of the aisle.

“Many people removed friends from Facebook because … ‘Oh I don’t agree with you,’ but now all that’s on your feed is people you agree with,” Organ said. “I think that’s negative for society.

I think the more people can discuss

… and get ideas out there, the better society will be.”

The group’s mission is to get students to promote the principles of fiscal responsibility, free markets and limited government, and although it was founded as a conservative nonprofit organization, people of all parties are welcome to join.

“What Turning Point is doing is making it so students are able to work together, regardless of political parties, and come together to fix issues,” Wiese said.

Wiese hopes to host more round table discussions later in the semester because he found the first one so rewarding.

Charges filed in shooting near campus

Mumps cases at 10-year high

Incident involves drug deal with counterfeit bills

Kirsten Wamsley Daily News Reporter

Max Lewis SGA Reporter Charges have been filed in the Delaware County Circuit Court 4 against Jamaal Gray, 25, in the Jan. 28 shooting in a North Rosewood Avenue apartment building, JAMAAL just across the street GRAY from the Ball State campus.

Gray is being charged with attempted murder, criminal recklessness and dealing in marijuana.

According to court documents, Gray was attempting to sell one ounce of marijuana to a regular customer.

However, Jamel Roane, 25, arrived and Gray let him in assuming he was picking up the marijuana.

Roane then paid Gray with two $50 bills that Gray immediately recognized as being counterfeit. When Gray confronted Roane about the bills Roane pulled out a gun and held Gray at gunpoint.

Roane then briefly turned his back and Gray ran and grabbed his pistol.

Gray then chased Roane into the apartment stairwell.

Gray told police that Roane fired one round at him and Gray then “emptied” his magazine, hitting Roane several times.

Roane was then driven by his friend Derrick Ervin, 22, to IU Health Ball Memorial Hospital, where he later received treatment for his wounds.

Roane is charged with robbery, criminal recklessness and counterfeiting. Ervin is also charged with counterfeiting.

Ball State has seen no cases in 2017; IU, IUPUI, Butler have all had infected students Mumps cases are at a 10-year high with hundreds of reports rolling in from across country since the start of 2017, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The CDC has received reports of 1,242 cases of mumps as of early March, and the contagious, viral infection that can result in swollen salivary glands and flulike symptoms is typically found on college campuses. The viral infection can spread easily and quickly through large communal areas like residence halls and classrooms.

More than 150 mumps cases were confirmed in 2016 in Indiana, and since the beginning of 2017, more than a dozen university students in Indiana have had confirmed cases of mumps. So far, Indiana University has seen 5 cases in 2017, and other universities — including Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis and Butler University — have also reported cases of students with mumps.

The Amelia T. Wood Health Center has not reported any cases of mumps at this time. The university requires students to show proof of two doses of measles, mumps and rubella vaccines — considered by the CDC to be around 88 percent effective.

According to the CDC, mumps symptoms include fever, headache, muscle aches, tiredness and swollen and tender salivary glands under the ears on one side or both.

CARDINAL FLIES SOUTH Florida games bring sophomore back home

Robby General Managing Editor Ball State baseball’s Florida getaway was more like a homecoming for CJ Alexander.

“It feels great,” Alexander said. “Being able to come down here and play in the warm weather is a blessing.”

The sophomore outfielder, born in Merrillville, Indiana, played baseball at Crown Point High School for two years before he and his family moved down to Florida.

There were two reasons why the family made the move, the first being that both Chuck and Pamela Alexander, CJ’s parents, retired and wanted to move somewhere warmer.

And the second — baseball.

“We were coming down a lot, coming down to this part of the world,” Chuck Alexander said. “We just thought, ‘well the kids are into baseball, so what a better place to come and play?’”

The five-game classic’s proximity to home gave the Alexander family a rare opportunity to come out and see CJ play for Ball State.

“Well, obviously, we get travel restricted based on the 1,200 miles of distance in between us, being Muncie and Cape Coral, so it makes it very difficult for us to come see him play,” Chuck Alexander said. “It’s refreshing for CJ too, you get to see the family and so it kind of rejuvenates him a little being such a long way from home.”

FINDING BALL STATE

Growing up, CJ Alexander had one dream — to play for Ball State head coach Rich Maloney.

“I’ve always wanted to play for him,” he said. “I had opportunities to play down here [in Florida], but I really wanted to go play him and experience college baseball with him.”

That dream wasn’t expected to be fulfilled in Muncie, Indiana, but rather in Ann Arbor, Michigan.

As an 8-year-old, CJ and his younger brother Blaze, then 5 years old, started attending annual baseball camps hosted

by Maloney, who was head coach of the University of Michigan’s baseball program at the time.

“CJ went to all of [Maloney’s] baseball camps, so CJ has always had this dream, he still has a picture of him and Rich when they were little,” Pamela Alexander said. “They got to know Rich really well.”

CJ’s childhood dream began to form into a reality late in his high school career.

In his final season at Bishop Verot High School in Fort Myers, Florida — a team that has made the state final four every season since 2011 — his father gave Maloney a call.

“CJ grew a lot lately, like all of a sudden he hit a growth spurt,” Maloney said. “Chuck said, ‘hey, I think you might want to take a look at CJ.’”

Sharpe L. Marshall // Ball State Spring Training

CJ Alexander smiles after Ball State’s doubleheader against Northeastern and Chicago State on March 4, 2017 at North Charlotte Regional Park in Port Charlotte, Florida. Alexander moved to Florida for his last two years of high school before moving back to Indiana to play for Ball State.

Maloney was impressed after seeing CJ in person, and he signed his National Letter of Intent to play at Ball State on Feb. 11, 2015.

A FAMILY GAME

The Alexander family’s ties with Maloney extend before CJ was born.

Chuck Alexander and Rich Maloney played together on the 1986 Western Michigan baseball team and have remained friends since.

“His [CJ’s] dad is one of my close friends, without questions,” Maloney said. “He was an outstanding pitcher in college and he raised his boys to be ballplayers and he’s got two good ones.”

The two remained close friends after their playing days, flying down to fish in Florida when CJ was 10 years old.

That close connection exposed CJ to Maloney growing up, but it was his skill that got him recruited to Ball State — Chuck Alexander wasn’t the first former teammate

who has tried to convince Maloney to recruit their child.

“Because of where I’m at in my life, all of those guys are starting to have kids, and several of them wanted their kids to play,” Maloney said. “Some of them are good enough, and some of them aren’t.”

Turns out, CJ Alexander was good enough.

He hit .370 his senior season, as Bishop Verot finished 2015 as the Florida High School Athletic Association Class 4A runner-up, and his family was there every step of the way.

CJ, then a senior shortstop, lined up next to his brother Blaze, who played third base as a freshman, in their 6-4 loss to Trinity Christian in the state championship game.

“They got to play in the final game of that season together,” Chuck Alexander said.

“Not many people get to say that they got to see their two kids play side-by-side in the state final game.”

That’s what made being able to attend the

Snowbird Baseball Classic such a nostalgic moment for his mother. She hasn’t had the entire family together after her two oldest children, Sloane and CJ, went to college.

“I love it, we are a real close family,” Pamela Alexander said during Ball State’s double-header against Northeastern and Chicago State on March 4. “We support everybody when we go to whoever was competing, we were always together. So it was very difficult for Sloane to go off to college, and then for CJ to go off to college.”

Soon, Blaze will be gone too — the high school junior has committed to play baseball at the University of South Carolina.

But for a few days, with Ball State playing five games in Florida, the Alexander family was all in the same place.

Men's volleyball splits neutral court matches No. 12 Ball State lost to No. 6 UC Irvine 3-0, defeated UC San Diego 3-0 this weekend Hendrix Magley Men's Volleyball Reporter Ball State men's volleyball head coach Joel Walton said his team is not yet where it wants to be from a competitive standpoint yet after the team's 3-0 (14-25, 22-25, 19-25) loss to No. 6 UC Irvine in Columbus, Ohio.

"I know that UC Irvine is a very strong team this year but I feel like our team can compete with a team like theirs or Ohio State," Walton said. "I feel that we have the ability to step on the court and win not only games against those teams but have a chance to go deep into the match and come away with the win."

The Cardinals (15-6, 6-4 MIVA) struggled against UC Irvine's serve on Friday night. The Anteaters only finished with seven service aces but Walton said the aggressiveness of their serve kept Ball State off balance.

"We struggled being able to keep a lineup on the court that was just well enough to terminate balls but skilled enough to pass their serve," Walton said. "We also struggled slowing down their outside attackers. They were getting good shots on the back row, on the front row and we weren't able to play that strong of defense as I would've liked."

UC Irvine's two outside attackers — senior Tamir Hershko and senior Thomas Hodges — both finished the match with 10 kills.

The Cardinals were able to wrap up their neutral court weekend with a 3-0 (25-23, 25-19, 25-19) win over UC San Diego. Walton said the team's strong starts in each set, especially in sets two and three, were able to get them early confidence in the match.

"We wanted to be assertive early on and prevent them from getting any momentum and feeling like they had a chance in that match," Walton said. "By starting well in games two and three, we were able to keep a lot of pressure on them throughout the course of the night."

Ball State got significant playing time from senior outside attacker Edgardo Cartagena. Cartagena, who had a season-high seven kills against UC San Diego, started both matches after performing well in practice earlier in the week.

"When we brought Eddy [Cartagena] and Nick Lavanchy into the lineup that group just gelled," Walton said. "Eddy can contribute not only with his play but with his maturity and also that he's well connected with his teammates."

Cardinals' bench not enough in loss

Ball State's leading scorer didn't start against Akron Colin Grylls Sports Editor

When the clock dips under one minute in a basketball game, the only thing that matters is talent. Usually, that means each team runs out its five starters.

But the best five at the end of Ball State men’s basketball’s 74-70 loss to Akron included two players off the bench— redshirt freshman forward Tahjai Teague and junior swingman Sean Sellers.

“We were trying to find the right matchups for us,” Head Coach James Whitford said. “[Akron senior center Isaiah Johnson]’s so good at the offensive end that you have to find a way to take advantage of him at the other end, otherwise it’s just suicide.”

Teague led the Cardinals with 19 points and was second on the team with 30 minutes played, but he didn’t start.

Still, he was asked to match up with Johnson, the Mid-American Conference Player of the Year. “[Teague]’s still kind of scratching the surface of where he’s going to be,” Whitford said. “I look at [Akron players] Kwan Cheatham and Isaiah Johnson and I think about Tahjai Teague as a freshman and Trey Moses as a sophomore. … I like to think both those guys can both be all-conference players.”

Including Teague, three of Ball State’s top four scorers came in off the bench.

Junior guard Jeremie Tyler finished third with 11 points and Sellers tied for fourth with 9 points.

Part of it is by design — the Cardinals score 79.0 points per game, but only Persons and senior forward Franko House average double figures. The rest of their points are spread fairly evenly between the five players, who score between 6.9 and 9.8 points per game.

“We have a great group of guys that start the game, and I came in there just trying to follow the game plan,” Teague said. “Just do as coach said, and if I’m open — shoot it.”

The flip side of the Cardinals’ bench scoring 41 points is that the starters only scored 29. In the first half, the five starters combined for just nine points

on 3-16 shooting.

Whitford said part of the problem was that redshirt sophomore guard Tayler Persons, who finished the regular season second in the MAC with 5.0 assists per game, wasn’t at full strength.

Persons was injured in the Cardinals’ 66-63 win over Western Michigan Thursday, and Whitford said he spent eight hours in the hospital. Akron head coach Keith Dambrot was amazed Persons was in at all.

“Man, I mean, if Persons can play with that injury, then he’s got to be one of the toughest guys in America,” Dambrot said.

Even when the starters got going in the second half, the bench often played a role.

With 10:30 left in the second half, for example, Johnson drove down the court for the Zips, but Sellers sprinted in from behind for a massive block.

Junior guard Francis Kiapway drained a three on the other end to pull Ball State within two, 47-45.

Kiapway finished second on the team with 12 points, the only starter to clear double digits. Tyler, though, said they weren’t trying to show up the first-stringers.

“When we were open we just shot it, and it was falling for us today,” Tyler said. “We just happened to score more points than the starters but it doesn’t matter. It was just so that we could win the game most of all, really.”

BALL STATE STARTERS

• Points — 29 • Shooting — 9-31 (29.0 percent) • 3-point Shooting — 7-19 (36.8 percent)

BALL STATE BENCH

• Points — 41 • Shooting — 14-25 (56.0 percent) • 3-point Shooting — 6-10 (60.0 percent)

With the loss, Ball State is eliminated from the MAC Tournament. The Cardinals are waiting to find out if they’ll get a postseason bid.

How to win your March Madness pool (or at least upset the people who take it seriously) It’s that magical time of year again, when everyone has to look up what channel Tru TV is in order to watch two Colin Grylls teams they only care is a senior about because of the journalism major March Madness bracket who writes “Fire they filled out. up the Grylls” for But every year it seems the Daily News. like the office pool is won His views do by someone who knows not necessarily nothing about basketball and uses some sort of agree with ridiculous theory about those of the picking teams. newspaper.

So here are a few Write to Colin at bracket strategies that are crgylls@bsu.edu. sure to render all of your hard work meaningless when your sleeper champion gets knocked out in the second round:

Then I want UCLA to crush them on National TV.

PICK BASED ON THE BEST MASCOTS Perhaps one of the most famous “dumb” strategies, this is my mom’s favorite. In fact, I actually called her to break some ties between some teams.

For example, this method matched up the Providence Friars with the South Carolina Gamecocks in the Sweet 16.

Both the Friars and Gamecocks made it this far based on the uniqueness of their names, but I couldn’t decide where to go from here. I mean, do I make a bad pun about the Gamecocks getting fried or do I punish them for a, frankly, boring mascot that feels like a rip-off of the San Diego Padres? (Yes, I’m fully aware that Providence predates the Padres, but still.)

My mom broke the tie by picking the Gamecocks. Why? “You should know why,” she said. “You’re a boy.”

That reasoning from my mom actually pushed the Gamecocks to the Final Four.

But, according to her, South Carolina will be knocked out by the Notre Dame Fighting Irish “because I like going to pubs.”

The sad thing is, this bracket will probably beat mine anyway.

PICK WHAT YOU WANT TO HAPPEN This is one of the least frustrating methods because you’ll never have to root against your favorite team, or for a team you despise.

For me, this is easy to pick — UCLA. The Bruins play a really entertaining style of basketball, and they could potentially knock out Kentucky, North Carolina, Kansas and Duke if they made a deep run.

But in order to play Duke, the Blue Devils would have to make the National Championship game and I don’t want Duke to win. At all.

In 2015, when the Blue Devils won the National Championship, I finished second in my office pool behind the person who picked straight chalk — I had the lead after correctly picking some early-round upsets like Georgia State over Baylor and UAB over Iowa State. Had Duke lost, I would’ve won the office pool.

I could root for Duke to be knocked out in the first or second round — but I’m pettier than that. I want them to get close, to taste it. I want them to dream about lifting up the championship trophy the night before the game.

PICK BASED ON PURE CHANCE We’ve all said this out of frustration when our eventual National Champion is knocked out in the Elite Eight, like Oklahoma was in 2015, when Duke won.

“I’d be better off just picking random teams.”

So I did this year. I filled out a bracket based entirely on coin flips, and not only do I have the winner of Mount St. Mary’s and New Orleans upsetting No. 1 Villanova in the first round, but the coin landed heads three more times to put the 16-seed in the Elite Eight.

That’s not even the biggest upset my 2016 Harpers Ferry quarter picked. The best seed in the Final Four was 8-seed Miami, but the quarter says the Hurricanes drop the final to 15-seed North Dakota.

You heard it here first.

Freshman forward Tahjai Teague shoots the ball during the MAC semifinals against Akron. Teague didn’t start but he lead the team with 19 points.

Continued from page 1

At the 5:20 mark in the first half, Akron extended its lead to 33-19 after junior guard Antino Jackson hit one of the Zips’ seven first-half 3-pointers.

Then the Cardinals woke up.

In the final five minutes of the first half, Ball State held Akron to only six points and scored 11, with redshirt freshman Tahjai Teague scoring five of those points to bring the Cardinals within single digits, 39-30, at halftime.

“I was just doing anything to help our team win,” Teague said. “I was trying to cut the lead down.”

At the 11:45 mark of the second half, Ball State closed Akron’s lead to five, 47-42, after senior forward Franko House threw down a dunk.

On the Zips’ next offensive possession, junior guard Sean Sellers blocked MAC Player of the Year Isaiah Johnson. This led to a 3-ball by junior guard Francis Kiapway and cut the lead to 47-45 with 10 minutes to play.

Trading baskets, Ball State found itself down 65-62 with 2 minutes and 11 seconds to go.

Johnson, though, showed why he

was named MAC Player of the Year by scoring Akron’s next five points, extending a 70-64 lead.

“Any player will tell you they love having the ball in those situations,” Johnson said.

Jackson added, “Our team expects [Johnson] to make the right play every time, so we feed off him.”

Johnson finished with 19 points and six rebounds in the game. Ball State’s closest player to him on the stat line was Teague, who finished with 19 points, six rebounds, and four assists in the loss.

Jackson also scored 19 points and had five steals for the Zips.

The Ball State starters finished with a combined 29 points, with 12 coming from junior guard Francis Kiapway.

With the loss, the Cardinals are eliminated from the Mid-American Conference Tournament and wait to find out if they’ll be extended an invitation to a postseason tournament.

“We have spoken with some of [the postseason tournaments], it is just a matter of figuring out what the right ones are,” Whitford said. “We’ve had a good year and feel like our guys deserve an opportunity to keep playing.”

New wrestling club to begin training President hopes members can eventually compete in matches Brooke Kemp Daily News Reporter Sophomore Clayton Farr may have found his calling in computer technology, which is his current major, but when he came to Ball State he still felt like there was something missing.

He had wrestled all throughout high school, but by the time he began his freshman year at Ball State, the university's wrestling club had been dissolved. This year, unable to let his passion go, Farr decided it was time to revive the club.

Ball State Dining Chef Allen White prepares a meal in Noyer Complex on Feb. 28. White is one of the two original on-campus chefs at Ball State.

White’s role as the Noyer Centre chef is more than just cooking; he plans the menus, orders food and makes sure the staff is following the recipes and using safe food practices. The food is mostly prepared by the dining staff, but White’s direction is still being followed.

“I do a little bit of cooking still, but not as much as you would think.” White said.

“I don’t want to take credit for them, but they’re following my direction … when you come to eat dinner and you have meatloaf, macaroni and cheese and green beans, that’s me putting the menus together so if things don’t quite work together, then we’ll change those.”

Making sure food isn’t being wasted and portioning are two important aspects of Ball State dining. Karen Adkins, director of dining services and initiatives, said one of the major reasons Ball State has chefs is to adhere to the recipes and quality of the food served.

“Chef [White] went to school and trained as far as cutting vegetables and

Farr first brought the idea to a friend who had never wrestled before. It took some convincing, but Brian Nichols, a sophomore accounting major, agreed to be vice president of the club.

They began working out together and trying to eat healthier in preparation for the new club, as well as filling out the necessary paperwork, gathering officers and members and starting training so they’d be certified in CPR. “It’s been two years since I’ve wrestled," Farr said. "Getting back into it is a little rough.”

Farr is also working on getting a Bronze Coaching Certificate. This certification will give him more in-depth training in coaching. The certification is required for teams to be able to compete in some events. Farr, however, will not be

coaching the team.

The official coach of the wrestling club is Ben Hoover, a graduate student studying actuarial science.

Hoover began his wrestling career in fifth grade and continued on through college where he won several titles. He has coaching experience as well and is always eager to find ways to be involved in wrestling, so he was thrilled when he found out Farr needed his help.

“I feel at home on the mat and look forward to getting to work with individuals wanting to become better athletes,” Hoover said.

The club will meet from 5:45 to 7:45 a.m. on Wednesdays and Fridays and 7:30 to 8:50 p.m. on Thursdays in the Jo Ann Gora Student Recreation and Wellness Center Room 213. The first

meeting is this Wednesday.

This semester, Farr and Nichols decided the club’s goal would be to work on teaching members how to wrestle and figure out where they are in knowledge, skill level and physical fitness. No prior knowledge or experience is required for this club, so it is important to them to make sure everyone knows how to wrestle safely before competing.

Farr will also be working on creating connections with other schools to line up matches for when the club is ready to compete.

They believe the team could be ready to compete as early as next fall, depending on the amount of progress they make.

all that, so we want to make sure that we’re doing things efficiently and that our quality is there, so that’s part of chef’s job,” Adkins said.

White’s previous jobs meant holidays and weekends were the busy time, but when he started at Ball State, students were away for break. The cooking staff at that time mostly consisted of homemakers.

“My first Christmas and New Year’s I was spinning circles in the living room … I felt like I should be doing something,” White said. “During the breaks, I came to work and I went through all the drawers and I took every single knife, everything out that I didn’t want them to have while they were gone and then I replaced them with the three knives that I wanted them to have.”

Today, part of White’s job is still teaching dining employees how to cook. Especially at holidays, White is frequently asked about recipes and menus by housing and dining employees, who take what they learn at Ball State and incorporate it after they leave campus.

“A lot of our folks that are actually doing the food production, they’re not cooks when they get these jobs. Chef’s teaching them how to cook,” Adkins said. “His job is very instrumental with them here at work and also in their personal lives.”

White spends time making sure the dinner served in the homestyle line isn’t repeated in the Retreat. The Retreat’s menu will soon undergo slight changes to make sure the presentation of the food flow in a way that makes sense on a plate.

“You can put two foods together but if they don’t go together, they don’t fit, they don’t taste good. It’s really finding that blend of two or three foods that go together to make a nice menu,” White said. “It’s really a puzzle.”

White said he is always happy to take suggestions, which can be given by email or comment cards in the dining hall. He enjoys interacting with students and will go out onto the food line and ask students how their food tastes.

In Print gives students chance to connect with authors, publisher Kirsten Wamsley Lifestyle Reporter Ball State’s creative writing program is holding a two-day festival on Wednesday and Thursday to showcase three authors and release this year’s edition of "The Broken Plate."

The In Print Festival will feature three upcoming poets and their recently released first books. The authors are from different genres of writing. The featured authors are Mary Biddinger, who will talk about publishing; Iliana Rocha, the author of "Karankawa," Dan Raeburn, the author of "Vessels" and Sequoia Nagamatsu, author of "Where We Go When All We Were Is Gone."

“We want it to be culturally diverse. We don’t try to bring in just mixed genders,” said Matthew Mullins, director of creative writing at Ball State.

In the past, In Print has featured many cultural communities. Rocha is Mexican American and her poetry reflects her life and her experiences.

Nagamatsu is Asian American and his book plays on Asian-American culture and a Japanese demon.

The first night of the event will feature an authors discussion about their novels and journeys in creative writing.

Literature students have studied these authors in class and will have the opportunity to introduce them at the discussion. The authors will also visit some of the classes.

Night two features the authors as well as Biddinger, who will discuss the process writers go through to get books out to the public. The event is based around these authors' release and the impact it can have on the students who want to publish their work as well.

Contact Michelle Kaufman with any questions or concerns at mekaufman@bsu.edu.

“In general, what we want to do with the In Print Festival [is] celebrate the first books of the authors,” Mullins said. “We want to do it in a way that brings the students into the process and shows them and gives them insight into ‘this is what it's lead a literary life — a writer’s life.'”

In Print provides a variety of genres and cultural backgrounds to bring more interest and attract different groups of people. The festival also functions as the release party for this semester’s edition of the literary magazine "The Broken Plate."

"The Broken Plate" is put together by the students of a year-long English course. Submissions for the magazine are accepted both internationally and nationally. The students then choose which submissions to include.

The In Print authors are showcased in the magazine along with several Ball State students.

In Print will be in the Art and Journalism Building Room 175.

Refreshments and a book signing will be available.
