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.

– STAFF REPORTS

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.

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.”
