Cost to replace student IDs increases New Cardinal Cards will jump to $25 starting Aug. 15

The cost to replace student ID cards will increase from $10 to $25 on Aug. 15. Although the jump may seem high, Registrar Nancy Cronk said the current $10 fee is not a lot compared
to other institutions. Both Indiana University and Purdue University currently have a $25 replacement fee on ID cards. “We have a very healthy price increase coming up from $10 to $25,” Cronk said. “We want to be sensitive to the fact that this is a huge fee increase for students, but we also want to be sensitive to the fact that we’ve got to maintain the standard of the card and realize that it’s not just
« We have a very
healthy price increase coming up from $10 to $25. » NANCY CRONK, registrar employee a plastic card, it’s got some technology built in it and some security built into it.” Each blank, chip-enabled card costs the university $5, but that does not include the print ribbon and mainte-
nance for the ID card printer. The new fee will give the university a chance to see if it can expand the features of Ball State’s current ID cards. One possible expansion would be using the card at merchants off campus. However, Cronk said there is no current discussion about doing that. The new Cardinal Cards, which started being issued in April 2014 and have a proximity chip in them, are more expensive than the
plain white cards previously issued. The white cards had no technology or chip in them and were pennies for the university to purchase, Cronk said. Money from the replacement fee for the cards goes to the Ball State general fund. “Because of that additional technology, there needs to be an increased awareness of the card capability and also the card value,” Cronk said. The Board of Trustees ap-
proved the increase in June 2015, and it was written into the 2015 board approval of additional fees to be implemented in Fall 2016. Although students may find their old ID after a new one is printed, the old card can’t be reactivated. “Every time we print a new card, that security changes, ... and you get brand new security attached to that new card,” Cronk said. “It literally invalidates the old card.”

The No. 11 Ball State men’s volleyball team left an opening — and McKendree took advantage of it. The Cardinals (20-9, 12-4 MIVA), who finished the regular season with a 20-8 record, were at the top of the Midwestern Intercollegiate Vol-
leyball Association standings for the majority of the season. They fell to the No. 3 seed in the tournament, and suffered an upset loss to the No. 6 seed McKendree Bearcats in the quarterfinals. Ball State was missing two key players to injury. Head coach Joel Walton said the first-round loss was “a bitter pill.” “We didn’t fight, we didn’t dig down and find some way to get things done,” he said. “So we opened up a door and they were good enough tonight to walk through that.”

JIM DAVIS, CREATOR OF GARFIELD, TO TEACH ART CLASSES NEXT YEAR Jim Davis will be coming to teach at Ball State starting the Fall 2016 semester. The cartoonist of the popular comic strip “Garfield” will be an adjunct professor in the art department, said Arne Flaten, director of the School of Art. Davis is a 1967 alumnus of Ball State and is from Marion, Ind. In February, Davis came to campus to talk to a design class about the “Garfield” comic strip. The students were making computerized versions of Garfield as a project, and Davis wanted to make them familiar with the comic strip. Davis got started with drawing because he had asthma as a child and was often bedridden, according to garfield.com. He used that time to draw pictures. He studied art and business during his time at Ball State. He also started a philanthropy with Ball State, The Professor Garfield Foundation, which supports children’s literacy.
