Iconic pop star Prince died at his Minneapolis estate. He was 57 years old. His publicist, Yvette Noel-Schure, confirmed the news Thursday afternoon. The exact cause of death is

among those who quoted Prince on Twitter, writing, “This is what is sounds like when doves cry.” Others, including Brian Logan Dales and Lin-Manuel Miranda, quoted the beginning of the song “Let’s Go Crazy,” writing, “Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to get through this thing called Life.” During the 1980s, Prince made a name for himself combining pop, funk, folk and rock music in the rock

‘n’ roll era. He released a total of 37 albums and toured more than 30 times. He continued doing both up until his death. Prince won seven Grammy Awards over the course of his career. He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2004, hailed as a trailblazer. Travis Harvey, the owner of Village Green Records, agrees. “Of course he was a trailblazer,” Harvey said. “He created a sound that was

all these different [genres] at once. He was such an unorthodox musician, coming from the Midwest, and he chose to stay there and build himself a giant studio, Paisley Park, and work from there.” Harvey said he has significant memories of his father listening to Prince and telling him all the instruments in the recording were done by Prince himTNS PHOTO self.

t’s a rare role for Indiana to play during a presidential election, but this year, Hoosier voters could have an important voice. Indiana hosts the only May 3 primary in the nation, and if its election is similar to other states, the lead up to the primary may include higher voter interest and heated campaign rallies to define this year’s intense race for the White House. By this time in past elections, the races have

been mostly completed before Hoosiers even cast their votes because presidential contenders have earned enough delegates to ensure their party’s nomination. This means the Indiana primary is then, usually, just a political formality to complete the nomination process.

The 2016 Late Nite Carnival is from 7 p.m. to 1 a.m. tonight. The event is free to students and $5 for guests.

It’s that time of year again, when crews start to set up rides and booths in the commuter parking lot as the Late Nite Carnival approaches tonight. Every year, Late Nite puts up a carnival on campus to celebrate the end of the semester before Finals Week. Like all Late Nite events, the carnival is free for Ball

State students and only $5 for guests. Sarah Johnson went to the Late Nite Carnival last year where, despite riding the spinning ride three times until throwing up, “the best part was the free cotton candy.” Like last year, every student gets a free cotton candy, popcorn and Coca Cola product with their entrance. All students need to do is swipe their IDs — there are no additional tickets to buy once you get in. This year will have more rides than last year’s Late Nite Carnival. 1. CLOUDY

was pitching in North Carolina so he would be ready to join the starting rotation in the spring — for the University of Akron. While in Wilson, he received an email from the Akron athletic department. The baseball program was shutting down. “Honestly, it didn’t really hit me until I got [to Ball State],” Marnon said. “I was going to class, and I wasn’t seeing my teammates from Akron. It just seemed very surreal.”
