There’s still water slowly dripping from the ceiling, so some bookshelves and computers are covered in white plastic sheets to keep them sheltered. In some spots in between shelves, sopping remains of ceiling tiles lay after becoming too saturated and falling from the ceiling.

Kevin Ray, the bass player for the band Walk the Moon, known for its hit song “Shut Up and Dance,” will be having a Q&A session at Ball State today from 3:30-5 p.m. in the Letterman Building Room 125. Ray graduated in 2009 from Ball State’s music media production program (MMP) in the School of Music. Being on the front lines of the entertainment business, he can tell students how he maintains his lifestyle of being on tour 24/7. “If you’re giving a hundred or two hundred shows a year, it’s a grueling pace. You’ve got to maintain your health and eat right and sleep right. It’s not just party, party, party,” said Robert Willey, director of the MMP program. Willey is organizing Ray’s visit to campus.

Ryan Diem leans against the fence along the visitor’s sideline at Scheumann Stadium Tuesday. He holds a bag of Bigs Sea Salt & Black Pepper sunflower seeds in one hand and an empty Dasani water bottle for the shells in the other, spitting occasionally.

majority of 12 seasons. One of Ball State’s first-year coaches, offensive line coach Kyle DeVan, started alongside Diem on the right side of the line in Super Bowl XLIV for the Colts when they played New Orleans Saints. Diem came to Muncie for a spring practice to support his friend and check out the offensive line DeVan’s been building throughout the spring. “To have a guy like Ryan Diem, a guy who mentored me in the NFL, come out here and watch us practice and watch the thing we did as a group implemented in the college game under my watch — it’s special to me,” DeVan said. “It’s guys like him that make the game special.”
