Campus decreases speed limit to 20 mph REBECCA KIZER ADMINISTRATION REPORTER | rjkizer@bsu.edu
“Cancer does not equal death. Only God knows my plan, and I won’t let a doctor put fear in me.”
All the major campus roads, including McKinley Avenue, Neely Avenue, Riverside Avenue, University Avenue and Talley Avenue now have a speed limit of 20 miles per hour, a change from their previous 30 miles per hour speed limit. Although Muncie and Ball State officials made the decision for a speed limit reduction for roads around campus in January, potholes and poor weather pushed back the change until this week. Duke Campbell, the superintendent for the Muncie Department of Public Works, said that the Muncie street department has been overwhelmed for the past few months. “In the spring time, at the street department, what people don’t understand is we have 15 people here,” Campbell said. “We have three mechanics, two signal technicians who are busy all the time, we have two sign technicians, … but when we have any kind of weather event, we have to use everybody on the roads.”

IJM is an international organization that aids victims of violence, concentrating on the developing world, according to their website. They work with legislation globally to combat violence, including that caused by human trafficking. Lauren Baney, a senior health science major and president of the IJM chapter at Ball State, said human trafficking is essentially modernday slavery.

HAZELBAKER OFF TO HOT START IN MLB Alumnus goes 4-4 in home opener for St. Louis Cardinals

COLIN GRYLLS ASSISTANT BASEBALL REPORTER sports@bsudailynews.com
In the last week, St. Louis Cardinals rookie outfielder Jeremy Hazelbaker has made his first Major League start, hit his first career home run and stole his first career base. The Muncie native and Wapahani High School graduate is
10-19 at the plate so far this year with five runs scored, five RBIs, two doubles, a triple, two home runs and two stolen bases. He was originally placed on the Opening Day Roster after a pair of injuries to other players, but has started four of St. Louis’ seven games. Ball State head coach Rich Maloney said Hazelbaker’s accomplishment was “a big moment” for the program. “It’s pretty special,” he said. “He’s worked really hard for it; he stayed the course; and, he’s getting this opportunity, so I’m really, really happy for him.”
In 2009, Hazelbaker tied the single-season Ball State record with eight triples and broke the records for runs scored, walks and on-base percentage. He was then drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the fourth round of the MLB draft. Hazelbaker’s start comes on the heels of hitting .313 with 13 home runs and 24 stolen bases across AA and AAA last season. He also hit .321 with Caribes of the Venezuelan Winter League with three home runs and 11 stolen bases in 45 games.
MLB STATISTICS JEREMY HAZELBAKER, ST. LOUIS OUTFIELDER • .526 batting average (10-19) • .522 OBP • 1.053 slugging percentage • 5 runs • 5 RBI • 2 doubles • 1 triple • 2 home runs • 2 stolen bases
