Public to aid in search for president

PLEASURE’

Board of Trustees responds to calls for more transparency KARA BERG AND REBECCA KIZER | news@bsudailynews.com Editor’s note: Levi Todd writes for the Daily News The university will be hosting public forums to get input from the campus community about what they want to see in the next president.

Trustee Chairman Rick Hall announced at the Board of Trustees meeting Monday that the board wants to hear from the public about where the university should go — which includes the next president.

“We look forward to a great discussion on Ball State’s bright future,” Hall said.

The dates and times of the forums have yet to be determined.

Hall said Trustee Matt Momper is chairing the search committee for the next president. The process will involve a search committee, which contains representation from alumni, students, faculty, administration and staff.

App aims to help users improve oral sex through touchscreens

CARDINALS ADVANCE IN CIT AFTER DOUBLE OVERTIME WIN

– STAFF REPORTS

ajsmith9@bsu.edu

ex education is taking on a whole new meaning with an app from a San Francisco-based team of designers.

“Club Sexy Time” designed an app called Lick This. The point is to teach users how to perform oral sex through games.

The catch? Users lick their phone screens to play.

The app is free and is accessed via web browser, no download necessary. Users go to lickthisapp.com and simply begin licking their screens. Because of how dirty phone screens can be, the app suggests users use protection — like putting plastic wrap or something similar over their screens before playing.

The Ball State men’s basketball team will advance to the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament. The Cardinals beat Tennessee 78-73 in double overtime.

For the first time in 14 years, Ball State notched 20 wins in a season after beating Tennessee State in double overtime 78-73.

The win also advanced the Cardinals to the second round of the CollegeInsider.com Tournament.

Tennessee State kicked off the game with a 20-3 run. Ball State didn’t gain its first lead in the game until freshman forward Trey Moses hit a 3-point shot with 5:57 remaining in the second half.

Moses recorded 13 points and 13 rebounds in the game, his first career double-double.

Sophomore guard Jeremie Tyler led the Cardinals with a career-high 25 points on 9-14 shooting. He also knocked down five 3-point baskets in nine attempts. Junior forward Ryan Weber was second on the team with 20 points.

Ball State trailed at halftime 27-14 after hitting just 16.7 percent of its 3-point attempts (3-18). The Cardinals, however, outscored the Tigers in the second half, 38-25, in part because they hit seven of their 11 3-point attempts (63.6 percent).

Ball State’s second-half turnaround left the game tied at the end of regulation 52-52. Both teams scored 12 points in overtime, forcing a second overtime period.

The Cardinals outscored the Tigers 14-9 in the second overtime period to secure the victory.

Though Ball State will advance to the second round, the CIT has no set bracket. The second-round pairings will be announced after the remainder of the first-round games are played today.

QUIDDITCH PLAYERS APPLY FOR WORLD CUP

Two team members from Ball State hope to play in Germany

ALEXANDRA SMITH GENERAL REPORTER ajsmith9@bsu.edu

Editor’s note: Tyler Walker writes for the Daily News The Quidditch World Cup is no longer an impossible dream for “Harry Potter” fans. In fact, two Ball State Quidditch team members have applied to play in the 2016 World Cup in Frankfurt,

Germany.

Jason Bowling, a junior computer technology major, and Tyler Walker, a senior journalism major, have been playing since their freshman year. After a lengthy application process, both are anxiously waiting to hear back in mid-April.

“It’s been stressful,” Bowling said. “I’ve started saving money, but it’s been hard trying to figure out if there are certain things I need to do before I go, because I won’t have time if I wait until April.”

3. 1 DEAD AFTER RAID LINKED TO PARIS ATTACKS

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio dropped out of the GOP primary on Tuesday.

1. CLINTON, TRUMP WIN IN FLA., RUBIO QUITS CLEVELAND (AP) — Hillary Clinton triumphed Tuesday in the Florida, Ohio and North Carolina presidential primaries, a commanding showing for the Democratic front-runner now eager to move on to the general election.

But the contests brought little clarity to the Republican race, with Donald Trump winning big in Florida but falling in Ohio to the state’s governor, John Kasich.

Florida Sen. Marco Rubio ended

his once-promising campaign after his home-state loss, so the GOP primary is now down to three candidates: Trump, Kasich and Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. It is far from clear if any can reach the 1,237 delegates needed to clinch the GOP nomination, ratcheting up the prospects of a contested convention.

“It’s a real election for someone who knows how to fix the country, the economy,” Kasich said in an interview with CNN.

BRUSSELS (AP) — Police found a man dead when they stormed a house in Brussels at the end of a major anti-terror operation Tuesday, several hours after they were shot at during a raid linked to last year’s attacks in Paris, a prosecutor said.

It was not clear whether the dead man was one of the suspects sought in the raid earlier Tuesday in the Forest neighborhood of Brussels, the Belgian capital where

several of the Paris attackers lived. Four police officers from the French-Belgian operation were injured when at least one suspect opened fire through the door, apparently with an assault weapon, French Interior Minister Bernard Cazeneuve said.

Forest mayor Marc-Jean Ghyssels told local media two people had barricaded themselves in a home during the raid, but it was not clear what happened to them.

MONTGOMERY, Ala. (AP) — The Alabama Senate has voted to do away with state-issued marriage licenses following the U.S. Supreme Court ruling that effectively legalized same-sex marriage.

Senators approved the bill 23-3 on Tuesday. It would require couples to file a form recording their marriage rather than have county probate offices issue licenses.

Republican Sen. Greg Albritton of Range says the change would

end controversy over marriage licenses while ensuring that people can marry whomever they choose.

A few Alabama probate judges have stopped issuing marriage licenses altogether to avoid giving them to same-sex couples.

Rep. Patricia Todd is the only openly gay legislator in the state, and she calls the bill unnecessary.

Todd says probate judges should do their job and issue licenses.

The bill now moves to the Alabama House of Representatives.

U.S. TRAVEL TO CUBA EASILY ACCESSIBLE 2.VULGARITY, VIOLENCE TARNISH CAMPAIGNS 5.WASHINGTON (AP) — President professional sports.

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama said Tuesday he was dismayed by “vulgar and divisive rhetoric” directed at women and minorities, as well as the violence that has occurred in the 2016 presidential campaign, a swipe at Republican front-runner Donald Trump that also served as a challenge to other political leaders to speak out and set a better example.

“The longer that we allow the political rhetoric of late to continue and the longer that we tacitly accept it, we create a permission structure that allows the animosity in one corner of our politics to infect our broader society,”Obama said. “And animosity breeds animosity.”

Obama pleaded for civility and said political leaders can either condone “this race to the bottom” or reject it.

Barack Obama sent an unmistakable message to Americans on Tuesday ahead of his historic trip to Havana: Cuba is open for business.

Punching fresh holes in the generations-old U.S. embargo, Obama’s administration removed the last meaningful restrictions on travel.

The sweeping changes also clear a path for Cuban athletes to one day play Major League Baseball and other

Although tourism is still technically off-limits, the ban becomes essentially unenforceable, with Americans permitted to travel on their own with no prior permission. White House officials said there would be “no shortage” of opportunities for Americans to fill the loosely defined requirement that they engage with locals in a bid to further U.S.-Cuban understanding.

Debate team wins national championship SMITH CRIME REPORTER | CASEY casmith11@bsu.edu

Ball State’s debate team won its eighth overall national team championship title at the 2016 National Education Debate Association tournament.

Senior English major Mary Pat Stemnock was named an All-American Debater at the competition, which is awarded to a senior who exemplifies the values of NEDA debate. The tournament was Friday and Saturday at Fullerton College.

This was Stemnock’s second year going to Nationals with the team, and she was also awarded first place speaker in Open Public Forum, as well as first place team with her partner, junior Evan Like.

“The overall experience was fantastic. I had a great time

traveling to California with the team and really enjoyed meeting students from other colleges and universities,” Stemnock said. “This was one of the largest tournaments I’ve competed in, and it was incredibly rewarding to have the opportunity to compete against some very talented collegiate debaters.”

At the competition, two different events — crossfire and policy — take place. Crossfire lasts 30 minutes and requires competitors to think on their feet about various topics. Policy goes for one hour and incorporates research into the competition. Three rounds took place on Friday and another three followed on Saturday before semi-finals and finals took place for both events later in the evening.

UNIVERSITY TO DECIDE ON AUCTIONING OF TV RIGHTS | REBECCA KIZER ADMINISTRATION REPORTER rjkizer@bsu.edu

On March 29, Ball State is planning to make a decision on whether or not to proceed with the auction of its WIPB station for a possible sale of more than $277 million.

At the Board of Trustees meeting Monday, Phil Repp, vice president of information technology, said the ultimate decision will have the university’s best interests in mind.

“We’re looking at what the best direction is — the best interest of the university and the best interest of public media for the university,” Repp said.

The Federal Communications Commission is allowing the auction, which would then give 600 MHz of spectrum — the wireless signals — to those who need it.

The spectrum would be

Ball State will make a decision March 29 about whether it will proceed with the auction of its WIPB station for a possible sale of more than $277 million.

taken from the WIPB-TV station, which is a Public Broadcasting Service affiliate licensed to Ball State. It serves 664,000 households in a 22-county region, according to Ball State’s website.

As far as the pros and cons of selling or not selling the station, Repp said those discussions haven’t started yet.

Because the auction itself, if it takes place, will be months long, he said the university will have plenty of time to make considerations on whether or not to sell.

“It may be well into 2016, if not into 2017,” Repp said. “But on the 29th, we’ll say we’ll play.”

Repp said protecting the academic programs which use the facility that’s a part of WIPB is the most important aspect of the discussion for him and the Board of Trustees.

“If indeed [the sale] does happen, those are the things that we have to analyze,” he said. “But we just haven’t really bored into that conversation yet.”

for the team made the experience worthwhile.

“My partner and I were hoping to make it to semifinals, but unfortunately we only got sixth,” Sullivan said. “We were nervous about the team not win-

ning this year because we weren’t the biggest team to go, but it was an amazing feeling when we won.

It means our hard work all semester finally paid off.”

Sullivan said hosting school Fullerton College was hoping to take the top prize, but they ended up taking second to Ball State.

Michael Bauer, coach for the debate team, said the students performed at an amazing level after working hard and giving up their Spring Break.

“This group is actually very inexperienced — over half of them had never been to a national conference before,” he said. “They were nervous, but I don’t think it was bad. Sometimes being young and experienced is a great because the nerves don’t settle the same.”

Community to be built along river Mayor hopes Canal District will attract residents, create jobs REBECCA KIZER ADMINISTRATION REPORTER

A $48-million project is now in the works for new development along White River near downtown Muncie that Mayor Dennis Tyler said will benefit both the city and Ball State students.

With both new commercial and residential properties planned for the new Canal District, Tyler said it should attract new residents, create jobs, promote an urban style of living and help bring all of Muncie together.

“Connectivity – it’s what people want,” Tyler said.

“A way to walk, take public transportation, to bike, nice simple paths.”

Tyler said he focused on creating Muncie’s first bicycle lanes when he took office in 2012, and the idea for new riverfront development began shortly after that same year.

The project will have three phases, each adding additional sets of property to the district.

While construction is ten-

tatively planned to start late 2016, Tyler said input from developers and funds for the project could push its start back into 2017.

Scott Truex, an associate professor in the urban planning department, said he’s very excited for the new development coming to Muncie. He said it will add a new energy to the downtown area and offer opportunities for connecting with the university.

“The project is really exciting as what it can do to continue the development of the downtown,” Truex said. “The buildings along there don’t really pay attention to the river.”

But Truex thinks the biggest benefit will be to recent Ball State graduates and faculty members.

“The idea of housing downtown, your own studio, place to start up your business … [people] will come here for a more urban experience,” he said.

“They will see this as a real

advantage as to why they would want to come and work in Muncie.”

Tim Maloney, senior policy director for the Hoosier Environmental Council, said he also sees the benefit of what this could do for the city of Muncie.

He said he has seen other Indiana communities do similar projects.

“Communities are doing this very successfully and improving their quality of life,” Maloney said. “This really is a growing trend in terms of downtown redevelopment.”

Maloney said he is confident that Mayor Tyler and the city of Muncie will continue to work towards a cleaner White River as the development begins, and will protect the natural character of the river throughout the project.

Tyler said the funds for the project should come from both the public and private sectors, but said businesses should want to invest to be a part of this project, which

While he said this project can’t happen overnight, Tyler said he’s ready to get it started.

“Projects like these are dreams and visions, but we have to find ways to invest in these types of projects for us to be successful.”

The Board of Trustees, Acting President Terry King and Interim Provost Bob Morris had a closed meeting Monday for students and faculty members to discuss transparency. The meeting covered general university matters, as well as the resignation of former university President Paul W. Ferguson.

TRUSTEES:

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Those people will all gather to consider applications for recommendation to the Board of Trustees for selection.

“We hope it will be reflective of the Ball State community as a whole,” Hall said.

Momper said just like when former President Paul W. Ferguson was chosen, they will have an email address — trustees@bsu.edu — in case people can’t be at the open forums and have questions or comments they would like to tell the board.

As for the timing of the selection, Hall said he is unsure of what that will entail. The university is in the process of engaging a search consultant, and the board will be selecting someone to assist them.

Hall said he hopes to come back at the April meeting to share who that consultant will be, as well as the names of the full search committee.

At that point, around late April, they’ll work to develop the best pool of applicants and begin interviewing people.

If the process goes perfectly, the decision could be made early Fall 2016. However, Hall said he didn’t want to put a deadline on themselves.

“It’s important for us to get a very strong leader and important to get the right person,” he said. “It wouldn’t be surprising if this lasted into next year’s academic year.”

At the meeting, students and faculty again brought up transparency issues.

Levi Todd, a sophomore English major who has been outspoken about a lack of transparency, asked Hall if they would consider doing another Beneficence Dialogue for stu-

dents to voice their concerns in an open forum since it had been so successful last year.

Todd said at the last board meeting he attended, he did not come away with the answers he wanted.

“I feel like my questions were heard, but I don’t feel that they were answered,” he said. “I left with a lot of concerns that were unaddressed, and I would love to have the opportunity to explore those more with the Board of Trustees and the university.”

To help with transparency, the Board of Trustees, Acting President Terry King and Interim Provost Bob Morris held a closed meeting with select faculty members and students the morning of the trustees meeting.

The meeting covered transparency in university matters in general but also included the resignation of Ferguson.

Fifteen people in total were present at the meeting, and the doors were closed to the public.

Greg Carbó, a student representative at the meeting, said he was excited to be a part of the dialogue between the trustees, faculty and administration. He said he thinks all students should take the time to meet with trustee members and learn what they do.

“What we as a student body want and need is to see their faces, who they really are,” Carbó said. “This was my first time meeting them, but I shook their hands and we talked for a while.”

Carbó said students should expect an open dialogue soon – with open forums and more statements from the trustees.

And he said that everyone should pay attention.

After talking with trustee

members, Carbó said he felt more closure over the resignation of Ferguson and felt ready to move on toward progressing Ball State University.

Bruce Frankel, an urban planning professor and member of the Faculty Council, said he had mixed feelings about the meeting.

The Faculty Council had proposed a no-confidence resolution against the Board of Trustees in the aftermath of Ferguson’s resignation.

Frankel said right now there still is not enough transparency in regards to the selection of the next president, even though this meeting and the future meetings are closing the gap between the Board of Trustees and the other constituents of the university.

“The mistake that they have been making throughout the selection of Gora, the selection of Ferguson, will be repeated at the next,” Frankel said. “I don’t think what they said today is adequate progress. I think it simply ensures that another mistake will be made, and we [the university] have only ourselves to blame.”

Rick Hall, chairman of the board of trustees, agreed that the university has to continue to move forward toward transparency and communication.

“We’ve heard that there’s a desire to have this openness. We are pleased to hear that and welcome input and look forward to hearing great thoughts,” Hall said. “It’s a start — not an end all — as we evolve here.”

Also among the attendees was Amy Harden, a family and consumer sciences associate professor and Chairperson for the University Senate.

At the meeting on Monday afternoon, Harden said that

she believed the meeting was a step in the right direction.

“I feel really positive about [the meeting],” Harden said.

“It really was encompassing of everyone’s different views.

The trustees were really listening, really wanting to improve the situation.”

No new information was released about Ferguson’s resignation at the meeting, but Harden said that the discussion was more focused on improving future communication between students, faculty and the administration.

Harden said that increased communication was what most of the meeting’s attenders seemed to want – but she said it won’t come easily.

“It seems like such a simple thing – communication. But it’s not as easy as you think,” she said. “It’s very complex.”

Dom Caristi, a telecommunications professor, was also at the discussion. He said the meeting was a good first step toward a more open university, but that faculty and students can’t stop pushing the Board of Trustees for more communication yet. “[The trustees] had the willingness to start a conversation. And this morning we started that conversation.

But if nothing else happens … well, then that won’t be good,” Caristi said.

Caristi said he worries students and faculty will lose interest in the situation and stop pressing for an open university, an issue that he said could stop Ball State from continuing to move toward transparency.

“I would hope that people would maintain an interest in this,” he said. “I hope that students continue to go to trustee meetings … I hope that faculty continues to care.”

There are three different games to help “improve” oral sex skills. They involve flipping a light switch up and down, moving the tongue in circles to sharpen a pencil and jabbing at a beach ball.

Dena Mullins, instructor of physiology and health science, said while the idea is a little out there, she doesn’t think it crosses any boundaries.

“I’m surprised there’s an app for something so private,” Mullins said.

“But people are so electronically focused these days and public communication about sexuality is so open. Everything is so mainstream.”

Mullins was mo st surprised the app is for teaching how to give women oral sex instead of men. Because of America’s culture, she said it was shocking to find out it wasn’t someone saying “here’s how to do it, girls.”

Maddy Isenbarger, a sophomore film studies major, said she finds the concept of the app hilarious, but she doesn’t think it would make anyone magically great at oral sex.

“I think people would use it as a joke in a group setting, but once alone, anybody would be curious and try it out,” Isenbarger said.

She said she didn’t think there was any harm in practicing oral sex on her phone.

“If you’re curious about it, and your heart’s in the right place, then go ahead,” she said. “Health

wise, I would suggest not — your phone is supposed to be dirtier than your phone seat.”

However, Allison Griffith, a freshman Spanish major, said she finds the concept of the app mildly offensive. It makes a game of intimacy, she said.

“I feel like it devalues physical intimacy as both a personal and learning experience,” Griffith said.

“What will [using the app] do to their perception of what intimacy supposed to be?”

But Mullins said she doesn’t feel the app crosses any moral boundaries.

The app helps a person learn a skill, and the only other option is to just wing it, she said. However, she said one-on-one communication with one’s partner is more important.

Tackling the safe sex debate, Mullins said because the app suggests covering the phone in plastic wrap beforehand, people might stop and think about protecting themselves.

“It’s too bad they didn’t say something about [safe sex] on the app, but the media rarely mentions it,” Mullins said. “But if you don’t know where something’s been, do you want to put your mouth on it?”

The reason for creating the app was not to promote safe sex or becoming a better sexual partner.

In an interview with Fast Company, co-creator Chris Allick said those at “Club Sexy Time” thought it would be an “interesting approach to human computer interaction and making people think about their sexuality and maybe start a conversation.”

FEATURES/FORUM LETTER TO THE EDITOR

EXPERIENCED FACULTY SHOULD SERVE ON BOARD OF TRUSTEES Several weeks ago I was walking through the student center on the campus of DePauw University.

There, displayed on a wall, were photos of the DePauw University Board of Trustees. As I perused the names and titles, I noticed the vast majority were lawyers, bankers, or CEOs of prominent businesses. The list included only two seasoned academics, one of whom was a Professor of Medicine at the Mayo Clinic, and the other being Ball State Professor Emeritus Tom Sargent, who serves as a life, but non-voting member.

The trend to exclude experienced faculty from the leadership of educational institutions has infected Anderson University, the president of which is a former Deputy Director of the FBI and former head of the Transportation Security Administration. Purdue University’s current president is former governor Mitch Daniels, who while Governor, notoriously stated that historian Howard Zinn’s book “A People’s History of the United States” should not be used in history classes.

This is the corporate model applied to higher education run amuck. It’s time we stop appointing politicians,

QUIDDITCH: | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Walker also said he has been stressed, waiting for an answer.

“As soon as I finished the application, I thought, ‘Let me know about this right now,’” Walker said.

The application process included an essay, videos of the player in action and a letter of recommendation from a coach. A statement detailing how the player would raise funds to attend the match was also required because all players fund their own trip.

Both Bowling and Walker were “Harry Potter” fans growing up. The opportunity to play the sport was too good to pass up when looking for organizations to join.

Real-life quidditch is as similar to J.K. Rowling’s created game as possible. Players are required to have a broom between their legs at all times, according to the official rules of U.S. Quidditch.

There are seven team members who play four different positions, and three types of balls. Bowling is a seeker, meaning it is his job to run after the snitch, a runner dressed in yellow with a Velcro tail attached to their shorts. Catching the snitch is worth 30 points.

Walker is one of two beaters. His job is to throw dodgeballs, called bludgers, at the opposing team to “knock them off their brooms.” When players are hit by a bludger, they have to run to their goal posts and touch one before returning to play. If they are holding a ball, they have to drop it.

Other players include chasers, who score the goals with a volleyball called the quaffle, and the keeper, who defends the goalposts. There are three chasers on the field at a time, who can pass the quaffle among themselves. Each goal is worth 10 points, and there are three goal hoops of varying heights. Goals can be scored by throwing or kicking the quaffle through

The 2016 Quidditch World Cup is in Frankfurt, Germany, and two Ball State students have applied. Tyler Walker, a senior journalism major, and Jason Bowling, a junior computer technology major, have been playing since their freshman year. The application requires an essay, a recommendation from a coach, videos of the players and information about how players would raise funds. Each player on the seven member team has to pay for his or her own trip.

one of the goal hoops.

Bowling said he only began thinking about going to the World Cup after the summer. Tyler Macy, a previous Ball State seeker, taught Bowling and had been the seeker for the first Team USA. “I decided to go for it,” Bowling said. “I thought why not give it a shot?”

The U.S. Quidditch team is made of 21 players, including alternates. The members must come from different regions of the U.S. and “represent a diversity of positions, genders and geography.”

The selection committee consists of a team manager, four USQ regional coordinators, one USQ gameplay coordinator and three community members.

Last semester, Bowling had a 4-1 record for catching the snitch in a “swim situation.” A swim situation is catching the snitch when the 30 points will decide the outcome of the game. The team tied for fifth place at their regional competition, and will advance to the National Cup

in South Carolina.

“This has been such a fun season,” Walker said.

“We’re going to Nationals, and we have a really good team. I’ve had so much fun.”

Bowling and Walker have been practicing as normal, preparing for the National Cup in April. At practice, Bowling acts as a chaser, but said he has an advantage seeking because of his long arms.

Walker’s biggest challenge was finding a friend to help him gather video for his application because beater play isn’t typically followed, he said.

The players expressed having similar feelings if they were to be chosen for the team. “[Being chosen] would be just incredible,” Walker said. “It would be an honor to play for Team USA.” Bowling called the opportunity both an honor and a reward.

“There are 4,000 players in the USQ, and only 21 are chosen for Team USA,” he said. “It would be a reward because it means all the hard work and training pays off.”

lawyers and CEO’s who see money as the bottom line, and start empowering bold leaders like Paul Ferguson who value academic integrity and have experience in the academy, both as faculty members and as administrators.

I applaud Professor Bruce Frankel’s effort to submit a proposed non-binding Faculty Senate resolution to reconstitute the Ball State Board Trustees to better represent community taxpayer and faculty stakeholders. Given the dismissive response to his proposal by the current administration however, it appears there is a need for more assertive direct action to get the message across.

A good start would be for faculty and graduating students to refuse to attend the spring commencement ceremony held on the lawn in front of the Fine Arts Building.

This boycott, along with picketing the event, would be an effective high profile protest that would attract media attention and publicly demonstrate the resolve of the faculty and students to see the changes proposed in the senate resolution come to fruition.

But the long-term solution is to replace Mike Pence in the governor’s of-

fice with a leader who has teaching and administrative and experience in the field of education.

It should not be difficult to mount a campaign against Governor Pence given the policy blunders he has made during his three and a half years in office. I’m speaking of his support for the amendment to the state constitution banning samesex marriage, his support for the Religious Freedom Restoration Act which brought terrible publicity to our state, his refusal to allow Syrian Refuges to reside in Indiana despite the opposition of Roman Catholic Archbishop Joseph Tobin, his attempt to bypass State Superintendent of Instruction Glenda Ritz by establishing his own educational advisory board, and most recently, Pence’s refusal to comply to the federal rule known as the Clean Energy Plan, even if the rule is upheld by the Supreme Court.

Ultimately, the buck stops with Governor Pence. He is the person who appoints the Ball State Board of Trustees. It’s time we make the secretive forced resignation of President Ferguson a political issue during the next gubernatorial election.

SPORTS SOFTBALL

Freshmen performing well at start of season

The Ball State softball team has four freshmen on its roster this year, and each of the players have had significant playing time during their first year. The Cardinals will play their home opener on April 1 against Ohio.

Four players see significant playing time in 1st year

|

DYLAN GRISSOM SOFTBALL REPORTER @GDGrissom

The Ball State softball team only has four freshmen on its roster and each of them have had significant playing time in their first year in Muncie.

Ball State is near the midway point of its season and each one of the freshmen has seen time in at least twothirds of the games thus far.

“They’re doing a nice job,” head coach Megan Ciolli Bartlett said. “As they continue to get more experience under their belt and understand the expectations from the coaching staff and their teammates as a Ball State Cardinal, they’re just going to get better and better.”

Catcher Madison Lee leads her first-year counterparts on the offensive side through the first 26 games of the season.

Lee’s batting average is at .382, which is good enough

for second on the team.

The rest of the freshman have had their share of playing time as well.

Infielders Aeshia Miles and Madeline Porter have each seen action in at least 20 games this season. Teammate shortstop Becca Rodriguez is not far behind, starting in each of the 18 games she has played in.

In addition to the lifestyle change met by most incoming college freshman, the players have had adjust to the college playing style and new set of teammates.

“Playing with a completely new group of people is always hard coming in and playing with a team that has already been together,” Lee said. “It’s definitely hard trying to fit in and trying to see how they play and making sure you’re on the same page.”

While Lee is making her presence known with her bat, Porter has opened the coaches’ eyes with her defensive play at third base.

“Porter is doing a really good job at third. She’s settling in a little still, but some of the balls she gets to at third base

your typical third baseman doesn’t get anywhere close to,” Bartlett said.

The rest of the infield is just as strong, with senior Emily Dabkowski continuing to produce at shortstop and junior Amanda Arnett batting .312 at first base, it leaves only one infield spot open for the two remaining freshman.

While there is a mix of players vying for the same starting spots in the lineup, Bartlett said that the competition is healthy.

“I very much believe in breeding competitiveness,” Bartlett said.” If you win the spot, then you win the spot. I don’t care if you’re a senior or a freshman or anywhere in between. If you step into the game and perform, then you’re going to win the spot.”

Rodriguez and Miles are creating that competition as they continue to compete for the starting spot at second base. Bartlett said that they’re “competing and pushing each other.”

In addition to on-the-field adjustments, each of the freshman had to adjust to

the college lifestyle. None of them are from Indiana.

Lee and Rodriguez hail from the West Coast — Lee from Cerritos, California, and Rodriguez from Tuscon, Arizona. Miles and Porter are from the southern half of the United States — Miles from Lawrenceville, Georgia, and Porter from Birmingham, Alabama.

Class schedules and homecooked meals have been what Porter has been adjusting to in her second semester.

“This semester I have all 8 a.m.s, so I’m getting used to that,” Porter said. “The food, too. I’m not able to go home and have mom cook for me, and having to go get things by yourself.”

Porter says she has benefited from learning from the five seniors on the team.

“The seniors have been a big help, it’s nice to have people to show and set examples for you,” Porter said.

Lee has had a more hands on experience from senior pitchers Nicole Steinbach and Kelsey Schifferdecker.

Being the starting catcher, she said having the experience on the mound has helped her play better behind home plate.

“I’ve learned a lot of the mental stuff, they’re really big on that. They try and share as much as they can with us,” Lee said. “As a catcher, I definitely look up to [Steinbach] a lot. ... She helps a lot of my catching, and she isn’t afraid to let me know when to work on something to get better.”

Ball State is two games away from its midway mark and sit a 12-14 after a 4-8 record over spring break.

The Cardinals will open their home schedule on April 1 against Ohio.

The Ball State women’s basketball team will play in its fourth consecutive Women’s National Invitation Tournament on Thursday. Nathalie Fontaine was named MAC Player of the Year and broke Ball State women’s basketball’s all-time career scoring record earlier this season.

CARDINALS TO PLAY IN WOMEN’S NATIONAL INVITATION TOURNAMENT Ball State women’s basketball (21-9, 13-5 Mid-American Conference) will play in its fourth consecutive Women’s National Invitation Tournament.

The Cardinals will travel to Iowa City, Iowa, to play the University of Iowa Hawkeyes (19-13, 8-10 Big Ten) in the first round on Thursday. Iowa finished the regular season tied for ninth in the Big Ten. Ball State finished the regular season second in the MAC West Division and was seeded third in the MAC Tournament.

After being knocked out of the MAC Tournament quarterfinals in Cleveland, Ohio, Cardinal head coach Brady Sallee said he expected a WNIT bid.

“I’m lucky I get to keep coaching them,” he said. “It’s in a tournament that we’re excited to be in, but we feel like we’re good enough to be in the other one, too. And I know that’s what [senior guard Nathalie Fontaine] deserves, and the country deserves to see her on that stage, too. That’s what I hate.”

Fontaine was named MAC Player of the Year and broke Ball State’s career scoring record earlier this season. She is also second in the MAC with 20.7 points per game and 10.2 rebounds per game.

Four other MAC schools — Ohio (24-6, 16-2 MAC), Central Michigan (22-10, 14-4 MAC), Akron (19-13, 11-7 MAC) and Eastern Michigan (21-11, 10-8 MAC) — will join Ball State in the 64-team tournament.

The MAC’s five WNIT bids are the second most of any conference, behind only the Big Ten’s six bids.

MAC schools have advanced to at least the third round in five consecutive seasons, and Toledo won the tournament in 2011.

Ball State was eliminated in the first round in 2014 and 2015, but advanced to the third round in 2013.

Tipoff is set for 8 p.m. at Iowa.

St Patrick’s Day events in Muncie |

ALLISON NUSBAUM GENERAL REPORTER anusbaum@bsu.edu

March 17 calls for wearing green and all things Shamrocks for St. Patrick’s day.

If you’re not sure how to celebrate the holiday, which originally started as a feast for the patron saint of Ireland, here are a few things happening in Muncie to get you into the Irish mood.

St. Patrick’s Slainte

At 6 p.m. Friday. Minnetrista will be hosting St. Patrick’s Slainte as part of their After Hours series.

You can celebrate the day and the season by enjoying live Celtic music, Minnetrista catering and a sample of Irish beers. You can also purchase local Wolves Head Brewing beer in the main building. The evening costs $15 and is only open to those 21 and older.

Food

Of course one of the most famous St. Patrick’s Day promotions is the traditional McDonald’s Shamrock Shake. Always available for a limited time only, you won’t be able to get it after St. Patrick’s Day. For those looking for something different, Culver’s is offering a dollar off its mint shakes and concretes on St. Patrick’s Day. If you are looking forward to the restaurant’s mint explosion ice cream, it will be the flavor of day Wednesday and St. Patrick’s Day. The dessert features Chocolate Heath Crunch.

For breakfast, Muncie’s IHOP will be participating in a pancake promotion Thursday. If you wear green from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., a short stack of pancakes is only a dollar.

Bars

If you’re looking to spend the holiday at the bars, Be Here Now is having a Danny Boy Beer Works Tap Takeover. Danny Boy beers will take over six drafts with $3 pints and U-Calls.

The bands Lemon Sky and Carmichael will be playing, starting at 10 p.m. The cover charge is $3 for over 21 and $10 for those under.

Heorot’s in downtown Muncie also features a large variety of Scottish and Irish ales.

The Shamrock Shuffle on Saturday has both 5k and 10k options for participants. The race will start at 10 a.m. and all finishers will receive a shirt and a medal that doubles as a bottle opener.

At the end of the race, Scotty’s Brewhouse is throwing a party featuring live music

and a complimentary first beer for everyone.

Registration is at Scotty’s from 5-7 p.m. on Friday or 8-9 a.m. the day of the race.

Parade

The St. Patrick’s Day Parade begins at 6 p.m. at the Muncie Central Fieldhouse parking lot Thursday. According to the Muncie calendar, the parade route will run on Walnut St., east on Charles and return via Mulberry.
