WIN MARGIN OVER PAST 3 YEARS

ummit won the 2016 Student Government Association elections with a close margin — only by 62 votes.

SGA presidential nominee James Wells received a call at 5:21 p.m. from Elections Board Chair Casey Miller.

Wells had a professional and composed expression as he spoke to Miller.

The phone call was short, and the room got quiet in anticipation of what they thought would be disappointing news.

Once Wells hung up the phone, he turned to everyone and yelled, “We won.” The entire room — including Wells — erupted and jumped with excitement.

Ball State loses lead in MAC West

Cardinals fall to 5th in standings after 65-57 loss to Chippewas RYAN FLANERY MEN’S BASKETBALL REPORTER | @Flanery_13

After hitting a season-high 18 points in its last matchup, Ball State men’s basketball only made five 3-pointers during its 65-57 loss to Central Michigan.

With a victory, the Cardinals could have clinched the Mid-American Conference West outright, but after the loss, the two are tied for the division lead, both sitting at 10-7 in the conference.

“I don’t think there was a high expectation,” junior forward Franko House said. “It is little stuff like that when guys aren’t knocking down shots. It is disappointing for them and us.”

House led the team in scoring, with 23 points, but the Cardinals shot 36.5 percent from the field and 22.7 percent from behind the 3-point line.

Sophomore guard Francis Kiapway and sophomore guard Jeremie Tyler combined for only 2 points in tonight’s contest. The two missed all nine of their combined 3-pointers.

Graduate student, alumnus record political podcast in Bracken Show provides opposing views on recent topics

|

ALEXANDRA SMITH GENERAL REPORTER ajsmith9@bsu.edu

Editor’s note: Todd Blevins used to write for the Daily News.

For some, opposing political views can be tricky to navigate. For two Ball State friends, it’s their way of providing entertainment.

Todd Blevins, a graduate student studying public

administration, and Rich Usdowski, a Ball State alumnus, host a podcast they call “The Donkey and Elephant Show.”

The two are politically opposed, Blevins is a democrat and Usdowski is a republican. They talk about current political events and also have topic-based discussions.

“The Donkey and Elephant Show” is recorded on Monday nights, usually in Bracken Library. This week’s podcast predicted outcomes for Super Tuesday, the day in which many states hold their primary

elections. The next one will feature the two analyzing the outcomes.

Blevins and Usdowski had tossed the idea around for about a year and decided to go through with making a podcast because of the upcoming 2016 election.

“We would always talk politics at dinner,” Blevins said. “We thought, ‘Let’s at least make this constructive, have a medium for it.’”

So far, the show has covered the Iowa caucuses, politics in the media, Judge Scalia’s death, the Apple debate and health-

care. The two pick topics based on what they are interested in and what they think people want to hear, Usdowski said.

“There’s no shortage of things to talk about,” Usdowski said. “That’s the beauty of talking politics.”

Blevins said they don’t want the show to be genre specific, and they try to mix up their topics. The two also target listeners who aren’t politically savvy and explain what they’re talking about when they use political jargon, Blevins said.

SENIOR DAY BRINGS FAMILY TOGETHER Fontaine’s relatives travel from Sweden to watch game live

COLIN GRYLLS ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR sports@bsudailynews.com

A wide grin spread across senior guard Nathalie Fontaine’s face as she walked off the court after Ball State won on the road at Eastern Michigan, 67-63, Saturday.

The smile wasn’t because of the first-round bye the Cardinals secured with the victory, nor did it result from posting her 16th double-double of the season.

Instead, it was the small, bushy head of hair that blocked the words “Ball State” on her jersey that sparked the smile as she carried her nephew toward the locker room.

3. GOP LEADERS REBUKE TRUMP’S BIGOTRY

Republican candidate Donald Trump

1. CLINTON, TRUMP WIN BIG AT SUPER TUESDAY WASHINGTON (AP) — Republican Donald Trump and Democrat Hillary Clinton swept through the South on Super Tuesday, claiming victory in their parties’ primaries in Georgia, Tennessee and Virginia. Clinton also took Texas, the night’s biggest prize.

On the Republican side, Ted Cruz won his home state of Texas, as well as neighboring Oklahoma. Democrat Bernie Sanders picked up a homestate win as well, in Vermont, and

won in Oklahoma, too.

Still, the night belonged to Trump and Clinton, who turned the busiest day of the 2016 primaries into a showcase of their strength with a wide swath of American voters.

As Trump’s victories piled up, he fired off “thank you” tweets to the states in which he won. Trump also scheduled a nighttime news conference at his swanky Mar-aLago resort in Florida, eschewing the traditional election night rally.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The two top Republican leaders in Congress denounced Donald Trump on Tuesday for his slow-moving disavowal of former Ku Klux Klan leader David Duke.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell blasted Trump’s “seeming ambivalence about David Duke and the KKK” as Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis., warned that anyone who wants the Republican presidential nomination must reject

racism.

The rebuke of Trump came as GOP voters went to the polls in 11 states in a “Super Tuesday” of balloting that many Republicans fear could give the combative and controversial New Yorker unstoppable momentum toward claiming the GOP presidential nod.

“This party does not prey on people’s prejudices. We appeal to their highest ideals. This is the Party of Lincoln,” Ryan told reporters.

WASHINGTON (AP) — After an Oval Office sit-down on Tuesday did nothing to move Republican Senate leaders off their hard line against a Supreme Court nomination, Democrats pulled out another weapon in the heated election-year fight: Donald Trump.

In a White House meeting that lasted less than an hour, Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, and Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley told President Barack Obama that any confirmation process

during a presidential campaign would politicize the court. They offered up no potential candidates that would win their backing and no route to filling the seat.

“This vacancy will not be filled this year,” McConnell said.

Democrats accused Republicans of trying to hold the seat open so that a Republican president can fill it. That president could be Trump, they noted, hoping to needle a GOP establishment uncomfortable with the prospects of Trump presidency.

REFUGEES STALLED AT GREEK BORDER 2.CONGRESS TO DECIDE ENCRYPTION FIGHT 5.IDOMENI, Greece (AP) — Hassan to let his country become a “waiting WASHINGTON (AP) — As the debate over built-in iPhone encryption has deadlocked in the courts, law enforcement and the world’s second-largest cellphone maker agreed on one point Tuesday: It’s now up to Congress to set boundaries over who can legally access your digital life.

“There’s already a door on that iPhone. We’re asking Apple to take

the vicious guard dog away and let us pick the lock,” FBI Director James Comey told a House judiciary panel on encryption.

“The FBI is asking Apple to weaken the security of our products,” Apple general counsel Bruce Sewell countered.

Architecture students build mobile greenhouse ‘Growing Green’ to be used for urban farming

RAYMOND GARCIA ACADEMIC/EDUCATION REPORTER ragarcia@bsu.edu

A group of fourth year architecture students is building a mobile greenhouse to help support urban farming in Indiana.

“Growing Green” is the first mobile greenhouse that the College of Architecture and Planning has made, said Timothy Gray, an associate professor in CAP. “It is a great opportunity for the students and for a great cause,” Gray said. “The funding was already in place, so it was an easy decision.”

The project is funded by the Center for Urban Ecology at Butler University. Gray said CAP has previously worked with the center and

was asked again to work on a project.

The project began in the fall when students designed the house, and this semester they are building the greenhouse.

The class of 14 students is working in the Design Build Lab at the corner of McKinley and Neely avenues. They are building the structure on a 32-foot flatbed trailer.

Jamie Craine, a senior architecture major, is one of the students who worked on the design and is now building the house.

“I was really invested in it when we designed it, and so coming back to actually build it was a really exciting thing,” Craine said.

Students working on the project are gaining various skills including metalworking, welding and using machinery, Craine said.

“Even the actual act of building things is always difficult,” Craine said. “You

always run into problems.”

One of the problems has been the weather. Craine said the snowfall last week caused a delay, and working in the cold can be difficult.

When the greenhouse is complete, it will be taken to Butler University, where it will be utilized for urban

farming, Gray said.

According to the project website, the house will promote community outreach as it can travel to various areas to provide produce for malnourished communities.

The project is expected to be finished by the end of the semester.

Greg Carbo, vice presidential nominee for 18, said he saw the school in a different light after running for the executive slate. 18 had its party in the David Letterman Communication and Media Building Studio D and had 1,665 votes in the election.

Men believe males smarter than females

There were 3,392 votes total, and Summit beat out 18 by only 62 votes. Summit received 1,727, according to a press release sent out by the Elections Board.

Wells said he couldn’t believe the odds of winning, because two years prior, his campaigning slate lost by only 81 votes.

“Two years ago, I was on a campaign because they lost their campaign manager. We knew then that we were going to have a hard battle. … We had no money, we had no followers,” Wells said. “This time around, my campaign manager had a lot more time, a little bit more money. … I’m just glad all of this hard work is paying off.”

not sure about the usefulness of the remodel, but said she doesn’t know what it’s like to work there.

“I think it looks fine now, but, then again, I don’t really pay that close of attention,” she said. “Who knows what it’s like behind the counter.”

Vice presidential nominee Ana Batres said she was overwhelmed by all the emotions.

“I’m still anxious, but I’m excited. It’s just a lot of feelings right now,” Batres said.

“It’s been a roller coaster, it’s had its ups and downs, but I’m glad we’ve reached that summit, and I’m excited for what’s next.”

Tresorial nominee Emily Halley also said she was still shocked from the news, but was also excited for the year to come.

“I’ve kind of had both sides prepared in my head, but it’s awesome to be able to represent the student body. It’s such a honor,” Halley said.

“This whole experience has been truly amazing. … I’m just so thankful for our trailblazers, [our supporters].

I’m going be so thankful for forever for their support along the way these past two weeks.”

Men may think their male classmates are smarter than their female classmates, according to a February 2016 study at the University of Washington.

Gender roles have been a fixture of society for centuries, according to the Women’s International Center.

In the past, a woman’s two most important jobs were to be a wife to her husband and a mother to her children.

For this reason, many people considered women to be the weaker sex both physically and intellectually.

“Men and women learn to fall into those roles sometimes,” Jennifer Erickson, an assistant professor of anthropology at Ball State, said.

Women had to work harder to earn respect and to do things men have always been able to do. Erickson said even now, the idea that women are inferior to men is still present.

“Women are just as capable as men, but they’re not taught from a young age that they are as capable,” Erickson said.

to GPAs or outspokenness, men had a tendency to pick other male classmates to be most knowledgeable.

Women, on the other hand, were choosing equally between their male and female classmates. Men also ranked their male counterparts three quarters of a GPA point higher.

In a previous study, the same group of researchers concluded woman are more nervous and uneasy about talking in front of the class.

“I know that I don’t participate a lot because I’m shy,” Elisha Henry, a sophomore marketing major, said.

Do people see this happening at Ball State?

Dan Grunspan, anthropologist at the University of Washington (UW) and a group of researchers conducted a study at UW among 1,700 biology students.

The students were asked to choose their most knowledgeable classmates.

Grunspan saw a consistency among the male students’ choices. Paying no attention

“I do notice that in one of my classes, males do participate more,” Henry said.

Other students said they haven’t noticed a difference in their classrooms.

“I think it’s pretty equal participation wise,” Nick McClelland, a junior construction management major, said.

Freshman psychology major Avenn Benton agreed with McClelland.

“In a lot of my classes, it’s an equal balance,” Benton said. “I wouldn’t say that one participates more than the other.”

According to Sarah Eddy, co-lead author of the study, peer support is what helps keep women in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields. Gender biases can play into a woman’s decision to stay in STEM or pursue a different career.

“In terms of overall pay and wage gap, the STEM fields tend to pay a lot more than social sciences and other fields,” Erickson said. “ So if men are encouraged to go into those fields more than women, then that contributes to the average pay scale that men get more than women.”

Secretarial nominee Brock Frazer said he was thankful for the people he has in his life.

“I wouldn’t want to do this with anybody else. I’ve learned so much; I’m just glad to see it all come together,” he said.

18 came in second place with 1,665 votes.

The slate and its supporters gathered in David Letterman Communication and Media Building Studio D to wait for the results. People appeared to be calm and collected as presidential candidate Matt King received the phone call from Miller.

King said everything happened for a reason, and he is grateful for the experience — regardless of how it turned out.

“At the end of the day, we ran this campaign to the highest standards that we uphold,” King said. “It was

something that was a great run for all us, we got to meet so many fantastic students on this campus; …I’m excited to see what the future holds.”

Vice presidential candidate Greg Carbo said he took away so much from the experience of running for executive slate.

“Well, first and foremost, I’ve gotten to see this school in a different light. I’ve had the opportunity to meet so many different people. I’ve grown so close to this team, we’ve become a family,” Carbo said. “Yeah I’m pretty bummed, but the school decided that’s what they want to do, and more power to them. I hope Summit does a fantastic job in senate, and I wish them the best of luck.”

Summit’s inauguration will be at 3:15 p.m. April 20 in L.A. Pittenger Student Center Cardinal Hall A.

BIG READ

Competitors create art based on ‘Fahrenheit 451’ for reading program CARLI SCALF GENERAL REPORTER

A second grader, a junior Ball State student, and a 45year resident of Muncie were all winners at the Muncie Big Read Artistic Competition held Monday in the L.A. Pittenger Student Center Ballroom.

The competition called for members of the community to create an artistic piece based on the book “Fahrenheit 451”

by Ray Bradbury. The book was the focus of this year’s Muncie Big Read, a community-wide reading program that began in September 2015 and has included such events as a public forum, a speaking event from Jonathan Eller, who is the director of Ray Bradbury Studies at Indiana University Purdue University Indianapolis, and several discussion sessions.

The artistic competition was the concluding event of this year’s program, though it will not officially end until June 2016.

The competition attracted many community members ranging greatly in age and background. However, they all had one thing in common: a passion for the themes expressed in “Fahrenheit 451.” Many projects focused on ideas of censorship, education and the value that lies in diverse perspectives. Participants presented their projects and the three winners were chosen by an audience vote.

Charlotte Glowacki was the youngest winner, an 8-yearold who was excited to share her project: two 3D displays centered around “the idea that books have habitats,” her mother, Michelle Glowacki-Dudka, explained.

Charlotte had worked on the idea with her mother and confidently presented it. A puppet show also accompanied her presentation.

« The big impact of

this program is not just about motivating people to love reading, but also [to] build a strong sense of community. » BO CHANG, Muncie Big Read program director community project, and my daughter loves making art, so I thought it would be a good opportunity for her,” Glowaki-Dudka explained.

Stefanie Clark, a Ball State junior, won for her expression of “Fahrenheit 451” themes through blackout poetry, a writing method that blacks out words on an already printed page until only a few words are left, creating a poem. The project started out as a homework assignment for one of Clark’s English classes. She decided to enter it into the competition after her professor suggested it.

“I’ve always really liked the idea of how Montag changed his entire life just because he started reading,” Clark explained.

The final of the three winners was Michael Hutchinson, a Muncie resident since 1971, who won for his abstract sculpture that visually represented three major segments of the book. It is meant to be “read” from left to right and mirror the flow of events in the story.

Hutchinson, a painting contractor by trade, has been seriously making sculptures like these for three years. He decided to make a sculpture based around the book after seeing an ad for the event in the newspaper.

“The minute I saw that it involved ‘Fahrenheit 451,’ I knew I was in. It has always been one of my favorite stories,

and I’ve always enjoyed building this stuff, so I knew right away I wanted to get involved,” Hutchinson said.

His sculptures have gained recognition beyond the Muncie Big Read competition. His work will be featured during this month’s First Thursday Art Walk at the Refresh Store in Downtown Muncie March 3. All community members are welcome to stop by and check out his work.

Runners-up at the competition were Ball State philosophy professor Juli Thorson and a Muncie resident, Tom Steiner.

The Muncie Big Read is a part of the national Big Read program that is supported by the National Endowment for the Arts ,and Ball State was one of 75 organizations to receive the Big Read grant for an event during the 2015-16 school year.

The program’s mission is to encourage community reading, and Bo Chang, the program director, believes this year’s project has done even more than this.

“I think the big impact of this program is not just about motivating people to love reading, but also [to] build a strong sense of community and create a space for local people to gather together to discuss the issues they really care about,” Chang said.

She also commented on the overall support the Muncie community has put forth for this program: “Some told me that our community needs such [a] program, and that they would help.

You can tell that they really care about the Muncie community and view it as their home.”

There are no current plans for a Muncie Big Read project next year, but organizers within the community are able to apply for the grant again and continue to build the community through a mutual love of literature.

The Ball State men’s swimming and diving team will start its MidAmerican Conference Championship play today. Last season, Ball State finished seventh in the conference championship.

MEN’S SWIMMING AND DIVING

TEAM CLOSES OUT REGULAR SEASON, PREPARES FOR MAC CHAMPIONSHIPS The Ball State men’s swimming and diving team 2015 CHAMPIONhas officially closed out its SHIP RESULTS regular season and is enter- 1 - EASTERN MICHIGAN - 777.5 ing the Mid-American Con- 2 - MISSOURI STATE - 757.5 ference Championship be3 - BUFFALO - 517 ginning today.

Under head coach Bob Thom- 4 - SOUTHERN ILLINOIS - 515 as, the team has been preparing 5 - MIAMI (OHIO) - 507 for the tournament since the 6 - EVANSVILLE - 146 beginning of November.

7 - BALL STATE - 127 “The hard work is done. Going into the meet, the opportunity has been given to us to go there, we need to enjoy the moment and really do what we’ve been working on all year,” Thomas said.

Putting the tough loss against Miami in their last dual meet of the season behind them, the Cardinals are ready to put everything they’ve been working on all year into the postseason.

“It’s been a long season, and they’ve worked very hard,” Thomas said. “We’ve entered our tapering phase. If history repeats itself, we’ll have a good end-of-the-season, championship meet.”

Last season, Ball State finished seventh in the conference championships, but did finish with 10 top 16 performances, as well as four top eight spots.

While the Cardinals’ season ultimately comes down to the MAC championship, Thomas has put together a different goal that he’d like his team to accomplish.

“The biggest goal we have as a team is for everyone to finish with their personal bests. They’ve worked hard all year and the season really comes down to this one meet,” Thomas said. “They’ve put a lot into it and paid a major price. It all comes down to four days.”

Thomas, who has coached Ball State’s men’s swimming and diving for 37 years now, has enjoyed seeing his team grow and is looking forward to seeing what his roster can do Wednesday.

There will be only one senior on the roster during the meet for the Cardinals, Cole Smith, who will participating in his last MAC Championship as a Cardinal.

Thomas believes his team’s success comes from its mentality in and out of the pool.

“I’m fortunate with what they’ve put in the past six months, and it comes down to all they do in these next four days,” Thomas said.

“I think they’ve gained a lot on their own, as well, to the point where they can pretty much accomplish anything they put their minds to.

If they continue to work outside the pool like they’ve done in the pool, there’s not an employer in the world that wouldn’t want to have them.”

The team will travel to Ypsilanti, Mich., today to start the four-day MAC Championship. The tournament will run all day from today to Saturday.

Central Michigan forced Ball State into 12 turnovers and scored 13 points off the team.

The Cardinals also shot 16 less shots than the Chippewas throughout the course of the game.

“We couldn’t get it going on the offensive end,” head coach James Whitford said.

“One of the things we had to do was exploit them on the glass. … We had to get more possessions on the glass than

we did tonight. We were inexplicably not pursuing balls on the offensive glass.”

Rebounding has been Ball State’s strong suit as of late, and they won the rebounding battle 40-38 tonight.

But, Central Michigan’s 28 defensive rebounds to Ball State’s six offensive rebounds proved to be a difference maker for the Cardinals’ offense.

Senior forward Bo Calhoun said the Chippewas were more prepared for big games.

“Man, it is just one of those games we have never been in before,” Calhoun said. “They

won at Toledo and came here and won, you know, that is an experienced group.”

The Chippewas started three seniors compared to Ball State’s one on the Cardinals’ Senior Night. Chris Fowler, a senior from Central Michigan, went 9-15 from the field and played 38 minutes.

“He was that guy for them tonight that controlled everything,” Whitford said.

Whitford told his players that the season is not over for the Cardinals and neither are the big games, as the team is now one game away from the MAC Tournament.

Senior forward Nathalie Fontaine’s family traveled from Stockholm, Sweden, to see her play live in her final senior home game. The family had been watching the games online during her college career.

FONTAINE:

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Fontaine has only made 17 career 3-point shots. In head coach Brady Sallee’s system, she primarily plays in the post. Sallee said that Fontaine can shoot from outside, he just doesn’t ask her to do it often.

“When I can get where we want to go – doing it the easy way – why break something that’s not needed?” he said. “She’s so dominant in those other positions, I hated – I didn’t want to take the efficiency out of her game and make her think about playing out on the perimeter.”

Instead, he said, she works her way to the freethrow line.

“She’s had plenty of the old-fashioned 3-point plays,” he said.

Fontaine already owns the career record for most free throws made in a career with 514 – 97 more than the previous record set by Julie DeMuth (2005-08).

This season, she leads the Mid-American Conference and is 11th in the National Collegiate Athletic Association, with 155 free throws.

Fontaine is also second in the MAC with 20.9 points per game (22nd NCAA) despite not making a single 3-point shot this season.

Though she’ll need an

above-average night to break the record tonight against Northern Illinois — a team that held her to 19 points in DeKalb, Ill., on Feb. 17 — she set the Ball State single-game record with 43 points at the University of Evansville on Dec. 21.

She has also scored 23 or more points in nine different games this season, including the record-setting night in Evansville.

Still, Fontaine said she tries not to think about her career point total.

“I heard it from a lot of different directions, but I didn’t really wanna to think about the record but more so just winning games,” she said. “I think thinking that way has

For Senior Night against Northern Illinois, she said she won’t be thinking about the record either.

Instead, she said she’s focused on playing well in front of her family.

“I think it’s actually harder for them having me over here because they want to see every game and everything,” she said.

“So it’s just fun that they get to see a game live — it’s my sister’s first time [and] my mom’s second time seeing a game live.”

Ball State will travel to Northern Illinois University Friday for its final regular season game. Seeding for the MAC tournament and the MAC West title is still up for grabs heading into the final weekend of the regular season.
