unior goalkeeper Alyssa Heintschel started all 20 of the Cardinals’ soccer games last season, leading the team to the Mid-American Conference regular season title.

But it wasn’t enough to keep head coach Craig Roberts from bringing in Tristin Stuteville, a junior transfer from Saint Louis University, to compete for the starting job.

Heintschel said she knew Stuteville was “the real deal.”

Allie Kirkman Assistant News Editor University Police Department is hoping to partner with different organizations around campus to create a multicultural approach to community policing.

UPD Chief Jim Duckham and Ro Anne Royer Engle, interim associate vice president for student affairs and enrollment services, presented their goals for the upcoming academic year at the Board of Trustees meeting Friday.

According to the presentation, UPD defines community policing as a philosophy.

“Community policing is really a philosophy more than anything or one particular program,” Duckham said in the meeting. “A lot of times, I will be talking to chiefs of other departments and I hear an officer talking about how they have community policing with one officer or one specific program and I cringe when I hear that because that’s not community policing.”

Community policing is a philosophy that has to start at the top of the university, he said.

When he would go out to the special effects stores, he became curious about the magic tricks there, and soon realized magic and special effects are very similar.

“I found that magic was a really fun way to perform special effects live,” Carbonaro said.

Carbonaro will be performing his show "Carbonaro Live!" at Ball State on Friday in John R. Emens Auditorium at 7:30 p.m.

THE ISSUE

Every issue we take a look at a national or worldly topic and get student commentary on what's happening around the globe.

Sony promises VR music video, other entertainment content The Associated Press TOKYO (AP) — Sony Corp.’s video game division is readying not just games but also music, movies and other kinds of entertainment for its Virtual Reality headgear.

Sony Interactive Entertainment Japan Asia President Atsushi Morita appeared at a Tokyo event Tuesday, ahead of the Tokyo Game Show annual exhibition opening later this week. The latest in video games, including VR, will be on display at the show at Makuhari Messe Tokyo.

One of the VR experiences promised is a music video that’s a collaboration between the “Biohazard” horror game, called “Resident Evil” in the U.S., from Japanese game maker Capcom, and L’Arc-en-Ciel, a Japanese rock band, that takes advan-

tage of VR technology’s illusion of 3-D and 360-degree surround imagery.

VR can make games more immersive, enhancing the effects of horror, razzle-dazzle and erotic titillation.

The Japanese electronics and entertainment company’s PlayStation VR headgear device, going on sale next month for about $400, less than rival VR headsets. Oculus Rift’s goes for about $600, and HTC Vive’s for $800.

Another VR shown was “Anywhere VR,” which delivers to headset wearers a relaxing scene, such as a beach or a star-studded sky.

Morita said the PlayStation VR will also be used to show live-theater performances, tours of historical sites and karaoke video.

Ball State was honored with a 2016 Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Award by INSIGHT Into Diversity Magazine. The award was given due to the university’s commitment to diversity and inclusion.

National higher education magazine honors Ball State University receives 2016 Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Award Lauren DeLorenzo Daily News Reporter Ball State University’s commitment to diversity and inclusion has not gone without recognition.

The university has recently been honored with a 2016 Higher Education Excellence in Diversity Award by INSIGHT Into Diversity Magazine.

The annual award recognizes diverse U.S. colleges and universities across the nation. The 83 recipients, including Ball State, will be featured in the November issue of the magazine, which is higher education’s oldest and largest diversity-

focused publication.

According to the Ball State University Statement on the Importance of Diversity and Inclusion, the university is committed to the pursuit of excellence by being inclusive of individuals (faculty, staff and the student body) without regard to race, religion, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity/gender expression, physical or mental disability, national origin, ancestry or age.

The university’s long-standing dedication to diversity and inclusion can be directly reflected by the values and actions of the Office of Institutional Diversity, said Charlene Alexander, associate provost for diversity and director of the office.

“At Ball State, diversity is not delegated to one area, but rather, everyone shares in the responsibility of promoting and

LSU CHANGES NAME TO BE 'INCLUSIVE' In the interest of being an inclusive organization, the Latino Student Union will now operate under a new name.

In an email sent out on Monday, the organization announced LSU will now stand for the Latinx Student Union.

Latinx (pronounced La-teen-ex) is the gender-neutral form of Latino, according to the press release. Latinx includes men, women, nonbinary persons and gender nonconforming people without the assumption of masculinity.

The press release said Latinx “openly

states that people of all gender identities are welcome into our spaces.

This change will foster an intentional environment of inclusion for our members while validating the spectrum of identities throughout our campus.”

The organization is anticipating that “many of you will have questions during this period of change, and we encourage you to direct those questions to the Latinx Student Union Executive Board.”

The University Police Department wants to partner with different organizations around campus to create a multicultural approach to community policing. The community policing is geared toward service-oriented, compressive training and evaluating performance within the department.

UPD

Continued from page 1 Community policing was described as a department-wide approach to intentional partnership development geared at problem solving, increasing meaningful engagement, evaluating performance and service oriented, compressive training.

“Department members participate in training on topics like cultural diversity, bias incidents, hate crimes and racial profiling because it’s important that police understand the community’s concerns and perspective on important topics, such as race relations,” Duckham said in an email from university strategic communications.

The meaningful engagement aspect of community policing is one component Duckham stressed.

“UPD will continue to seek opportunities to engage with the Ball State community,” Duckham said. “UPD has attended student organization meetings, met with executive boards and attended programming in residence halls, with the goal of interacting with

students and building relationships.

The department is always looking for opportunities to build relationships, increase understanding and establish trust. The response by the community to UPD’s efforts has been positive.”

The partnership between UPD and the Multicultural Center was created to dispel the myth about what policing is on campus and redefine what policing at Ball State is going to look like by engaging in all of the different campus communities.

“This academic year, UPD hopes to partner with different organizations, such as the Multicultural Center, to jointly host programs that will improve police and community relations,” Duckham said.

Duckham was not available to comment beyond this. When the Daily News reached out for an interview, questions were directed to Lisa RenzeRhodes, director of media strategy, who Duckham answered them through.

When asked for further comment, the university declined.

achieving a diverse student, faculty and staff body and creating a culture where everyone feels welcomed and valued,” Alexander said. “This award demonstrated our continued efforts and commitment, and we look forward to future recognition of our efforts.”

Other initiatives that provide support and inclusion efforts on campus include the Council on Diversity and Inclusion, the University Diversity Committee and the Gender Equity Task Force.

Students like Olivia Snyder, a sophomore psychology major, said inclusion at the university was one of the major aspects of her decision to study here.

“I chose Ball State because of its diversity,” Snyder said. “I just wanted to go to a place where people didn’t always look like me and sound like me and think like me.”

Aliyah Mable, a junior psychology

major, said she appreciates the attitude of acceptance at the university and was excited the university was recognized with the award.

“When I got here, I was really surprised that it was so diverse,” she said. “It wasn’t just one type of race, gender or ethnicity. ... I really like how the school is so welcoming of different people.”

The award also recognized the university’s initiatives in several other areas, including student, faculty and staff recruitment and retention efforts, community outreach, pre-college programs and holistic admissions process, according to bsu.edu.

DRESS PROFESSIONALLY The appropriate attire for career fair attendees is more relaxed than what you’d wear to an actual job interview. “Business casual” is the norm.

Don’t have any dress clothes?

Check out the Cardinal Closet, located in LaFollette Complex.

The Cardinal Closet, a new Ball State initiative organized

by the Student Action Team, is where faculty and staff members help students preparing for the interview process by donating men’s and women’s gently used and new professional dress clothing, according to bsu.edu.

Eligible students can use the Cardinal Closet by appointment to select one free business outfit.

BRING COPIES OF YOUR RÉSUMÉ Bring multiple copies of your résumé to give to potential employers. Your résumé shows you are prepared and ready to join the workforce. Be sure it

represents your knowledge, skills and abilities effectively.

Does your résumé need help?

The Career Center offers Career Coaches who will help perfect your résumé.

HAVE A SMILE, STRONG HANDSHAKE AND POSITIVE ATTITUDE First impressions are important, so make sure to smile and shake the employer’s hand when you introduce yourself and give your “elevator pitch.” Maintain a positive attitude, and be polite.

Don’t interrupt the employer

representative or any of your fellow job-seekers. Patiently wait your turn, and if someone is monopolizing the employer’s time, try to make eye contact to let them know you’re interested in speaking. When you are done, always thank the employer for their time.

RESEARCH THE EMPLOYERS If you know you are interested in a potential employer, do some research and find out what qualifications the company requires and what job opportunities are available. A little advance preparation goes a long way and can make you stand out from the masses of other attendees. Also, by doing this before the fair, you won’t waste

your time at any booths you don’t care about. If you go in with a focused plan, you’re more likely to stick to your plan, which, in turn, allows you to hand out more copies of your résumé.

If you are interested in seeing which employers are attending, you can find a list on Cardinal Career Link along with the positions they are seeking to fill.

BE PREPARED TO ASK QUESTIONS The questions you ask at a career fair depend on your goals.

Are you interested in finding out about a particular career field? Ask generalized questions

about working within the industry. If you’re seeking career opportunities with a specific employer, focus your questions on the application and interview process and ask for specific information about that employer.

“One time at a show, I asked somebody if I could borrow a one hundred dollar bill,” Carbonaro said. “Somebody in the balcony threw his or her wallet. They just threw it and money fluttered all over the place. Everybody thought it was part of the show. And it wasn’t.”

The magician now stars in TruTV's "The Carbonaro Effect," where he showcases his talent on television.

Sophomore telecommunications major Zach Pierce is a fan of Carbonaro and has enjoyed watching his show.

“It is interesting to watch how people react to the magic done in front of them,” Pierce said. “The show also makes people really question and ponder on how he performs these tricks.”

On the television show, Carbonaro performs tricks on unsuspecting people.

The show catches the scene on hidden cameras. There have been some funny moments for Carbonaro on the show.

One time, Carbonaro and a customer noticed an avocado moving by itself in a bowl. He cut it open and there was a baby snake inside the avocado pit. The customer freaked out. “[The customer] jumped up from the table so fast, ran and hid,” Carbonaro said. “We have our cameras hiding behind screens. She found the cameraman, dug through a hole in the wall and was holding on to the cameraman for dear life. That one didn’t work out, but it was so funny.”

Carbonaro enjoys how families can come and laugh together while watching the show. Fans tell him all the time how they enjoy seeing him live after watching his television show.

As a magician, Carbonaro enjoys the reaction he receives when he finishes a trick.

Sophomore computer science major Clayton Faar has been learning magic card tricks and performs them in front of other students.

Faar enjoys observing and learning from other magicians to be able to improve his own magic tricks.

“I enjoy watching other magicians perform, because it gives me a chance to learn new techniques by observing,” Faar said. “It gives me enjoyment and a challenge to figure out how their tricks work.”

At the show on Friday, audiences can expect to be amazed and surprised by all the tricks Carbonaro has up his sleeve.

“One of my most favorite things to do is the final act,” Carbonaro said.

“It’s not even a magic trick. It’s this bizarre transformative piece where I actually turn into different creatures and monsters right before the audience’s eyes.”

Brothel rumor debunked by city ordinances Sorority houses can have more than 5 female occupants Kara Berg Crime Reporter Every time the beginning of the school year rolls around, the rumor mill starts to spin again.

One popular myth is that more than five women can’t live in a house together because it’s considered a brothel, which is oftentimes used to explain why Ball State doesn’t have sorority houses.

By whom it’s considered a brothel varies depending upon who you heard the rumor from — whether it be Muncie law, a Ball State rule, or even dating all the way back to the Ball Brothers not liking the idea of sorority women living together — but the gist is the same.

This rumor, however, is just that. There’s no factual basis behind it, and employees at the Muncie City Clerk’s office laughed when asked about it.

Melissa Peckinpaugh, Muncie city clerk, said she has never seen an ordinance that would prohibit more than five women from living in a house together.

Upon inspection of city ordinances, the closest thing was about group housing and the requirements for conditions and zoning of the house. There’s no mention of brothels or any limits on unrelated women living together.

But Ball State isn’t alone in believing this is a legitimate rule on campus.

Snopes debunked this rumor in 2011,

citing confusion over old-time “blue laws,” or moral laws started by the Puritans, and newer zoning regulations.

“Some municipalities do indeed have zoning laws prohibiting more than a specified number of non-family members (male or female) from living together, but not even in those cases would a household in violation of those codes be labeled a brothel,” Snopes posted.

“Brothels earn such designations solely on the basis of what goes on in them, not upon how many women inhabit particular buildings.”

Sorority and fraternity houses are usually exempt from these laws, Snopes said.

There’s a lot that goes into adding sorority houses to campus, said Melissa Ginotti, director of student life, like figuring out where they will go and the finances.

Typically, the decision to add houses stems from the preference of organizations at the university, the availability of housing and the culture or policies on campus, said Jonathan Coffin, media relations for the Panhellenic Council.

Ball State is investigating the possibility of building houses for sororities now.

Because Greek Life is growing so much, it’s becoming hard to find space for everyone, Ginotti said in an interview with the Daily News in April.

Jim Rohrer, a psychology professor, said rumors like this often spread because they have some level of

A popular myth that has spread around Ball State’s campus for years is that if more than five women live in a house together in Delaware County, it is considered a brothel. The Muncie City Clerk’s office confirmed the rumor is not true.

credibility or sound reasonable.

“For something to persist, the people who are doing it have to believe that it’s true or could be true,” Rohrer said.

He compared a rumor to the popular party game of “telephone,” where a word or phrase is whispered around a circle and the goal is to keep it as close to the original word as possible.

The word almost always is never the

same as it was at the beginning of the game, Rohrer said, which is the same with rumors. As the rumor spreads, it starts to get bigger and fancier.

“It dials down to credibility,” Rohrer said. “Do you believe what you’re being told?”

Local group offers chance to try new sport Roller derby clinic not just for women skaters Alexandra Smith Daily News Reporter For any fans of the movie “Whip It,” or those interested in the sport, the chance to try roller derby is here.

The Cornfed Derby Dames, Muncie’s women’s roller derby league, is hosting a new skater clinic from 4-6 p.m. at Gibson’s Skating Arena on Sunday.

Jessie Irwin, the inter-league coordinator, started with the Dames shortly after the league was founded in 2010. She heard about it from some of the people she knew who were also in the league and from Facebook posts.

“I had skated as a kid and been pretty good at it,” Irwin said. “I went to all the skate parties and skate nights. I wanted a way to meet new people and have fun.”

Irwin said the way the Dames skate is more structured than in “Whip It,” though the movie covered the basics.

However, there are more rules than the movie depicts, she said.

“It’s way more strategy-based, not just wrestling on skates,” Irwin said.

That structure extends to the kinds of physical contact allowed on the track.

“You can’t just punch people in the face,” said Eliza Sandlin, a senior creative writing major and member of the league.

Sandlin had seen the movie and was interested in roller derby but wasn’t aware Muncie had a league until her junior year.

“I didn’t know it actually happened in places like Muncie,” she said. “I had no idea what I was getting into. I thought I was going to skate around and hit people, but it takes actual athleticism.”

When the Dames compete, each team has 14 players. Only five players are allowed on a track at a time. One is the “jammer,” who scores and wears a star on her helmet, and the other four are “blockers,” who play offense and defense.

Blockers try to help their jammer score while also trying to prevent the other

team’s jammer from scoring. A jammer gets one point for each skater on the other team that she passes.

The clinic will mostly consist of teaching basic skating skills, Irwin said.

Attendants will have to stand up on skates and skate a lap. She doesn’t want anyone to be discouraged from going because they can’t skate very well.

“It’s to figure out how comfortable people are on skates, so they can see how practices are run,” Irwin said.

The clinic is the main way the league gains new members. Clinics are in the fall and January, and there has been at least one per season since 2011.

The league has what Irwin calls a “fresh meat period,” where new members have to meet attendance requirements and pass skills tests before they can officially be part of the Dames, which is done by picking a name.

Irwin’s roller derby name is Juke Sky Blocker, a take on “Star Wars” and her predominant position as a blocker.

Sandlin is Ziggy Starthrust, like the David Bowie album. Sandlin paints a lightning bolt across her face during bouts as well.

The league currently has about 35 members, which means it has an A-team and a B-team. A-team members have a 60 percent attendance requirement, and the B-team has a 40 percent attendance requirement. League members also have to volunteer.

Irwin said passing the skills tests takes different members different amounts of time, so there’s no pressure to be the best right away. One member recently passed her skills tests after two years of being in the league.

Men are also able to attend the clinic, even though the league is for women.

Men are allowed to be referees. The clinic is also open to those who might want to be non-skating officials.

“It’s not just for skaters,” Sandlin said.

“People can still help at bouts. We need about seven referees and 10 non-skating

officials to run a bout.”

Competition season runs from February to July, so the league is currently in its offseason. The league is ranked as No. 114 in the world out of around 350 teams, and has traveled to Michigan, Ohio and around Indiana to compete.

The Dames practice at Gibson’s Skating Arena. Practices are three times a week: Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8:30 to 10:30 p.m. and Saturdays from 10 a.m. to noon.

Clinic participants are required to bring their own gear, including quad roller skates, a mouth guard, a helmet, elbow pads, wrist guards and knee pads. Participants can borrow gear from the Dames. The clinic costs $5.

Pre-registration is required by emailing cfddrecruitment@gmail.com.

Red, white and blue: a night in the life of a black boy It’s Friday night and I just worked my shift at Pruis Hall for Friday Night Filmworks. I’m driving down a busy road filled other young adults heading to their party destination. I come to a four-way stop on Bethel Avenue. I turn my left turning signal on to let the other drivers know which way I’m going.

As I make my left turn I notice red, blue and white lights through my rearview mirror. Thinking they were going after someone else, I still manage to follow the rules of the road and pull over to get out of the officer’s way.

As I pull over, I notice the officer pulling over as well.

After I have completely pulled over to the right side of the road, I begin to ask myself, “Ivan what did you do?” As I watch the officer slowly walk toward my car, with

his hand on his holster, an instant reminder of what my mother always tells me plays in my head.

“Ivan, when you get pulled over, always keep your hands on the wheel, do as they say, and always say 'sir' or 'ma’am.' I don’t want you to be the next victim.”

Before the officer reached my window, I made sure that I had my license, registration and proof of insurance waiting for him as a reassurance for myself that that would not be a reason for him to shoot me.

My window is already rolled down waiting for him.

He walks up to my car with a beaming bright flashlight looking all into my car, almost as if the officer was looking into my soul.

“Young man, do you know why I pulled you over?” says the officer.

“No sir,” I fearfully replied.

The officer stated that I had turned into the wrong lane and for that he needed all my information.

I watched him walk back to his car to check my information.

I forgot to mention that “Straight Outta Compton” was shown at Friday Night Filmworks. So after watching a movie full of police brutality all I could do was think about how this interaction with the officer would end.

As I waited for him to check me out all I could do was pray. My heart was beating fast and my palms were sweaty. I was in fear for my life.

The officer walks back up to my car with a paper in his hand. I was pissed because I just knew he was going to give me a ticket.

The first thing I said to myself

was, “How are you going to pay for this ticket without your parents knowing?”

“I’m going to let you go with a warning. Next time drive with more caution,” says the officer.

“Thank you sir,” I said in response.

I rolled up my window and drove off. I felt a great weight of relief lifting from my chest. All I could think about was how fearful I was.

With all the police brutality going on against black men in America, how else am I supposed to feel?

The police are supposed to protect.

I should feel protected by them, not afraid of them.

When finally reached my driveway, I said to myself, “I made it home alive.”

Mabon is 10th BSU player to reach 2,000 yards Wide receiver set to achieve career records this season Jake Fox Football reporter If it didn’t get tipped, KeVonn Mabon thinks it would’ve gone for a touchdown.

With 11 minutes left in the second quarter of the 30-20 loss to Indiana on Saturday, Mabon ran an out-breaking route with the defender playing inside of him. Quarterback Riley Neal’s pass was batted at the line, and the ball floated through the air in slow motion — the kind of up-for-grabs ball that looked like it could very well end up in the hands of a Hoosier.

But like he has done throughout his career, Mabon went up and made a

Samantha Brammer // DN File

Senior wide receiver KeVonn Mabon is on track this season for 78 catches and 918 yards, which would be career highs. Mabon’s third catch during the game at Indiana University made him the 10th player in Ball State history to eclipse 2,000 career receiving yards.

GOALIES

Continued from page 1 “I knew she was just as talented [as me], just as hardworking, you know?”

Heintschel said. “She has all of these great qualities that she can bring to the team as well so I knew I had my work cut out for me.”

The position battle is indicative of the “competition cauldron” Roberts tries to create on the team.

“Each week we know it’s a clean slate and we evaluate them on how well they perform from week to week, and based on that we choose our selection,” he said.

“And as that comes into play, the person who’s been probably the most consistent will kind of get the edge when we go into conference play.”

Stuteville decided to transfer after appearing in just seven games with the Billikens as a sophomore.

She said she knew Ball State was a better match when she made her official visit.

“Coming in, I sat down and talked with the coaches, kind of got a feel of what direction they wanted the program to go into and kind of what they have been doing so far and I really liked it,” Stuteville said.

“It seemed to fit with what I wanted out of my college experience and the coaches really fit me as a player.”

The pair of goalkeepers have fairly even stats so far this season. Heintschel has started four games and has totaled 23 saves, including a career-

play. His third catch of the game went for 11 yards and a Ball State first down.

That catch made Mabon the 10th player in Ball State history to eclipse 2,000 career receiving yards. The 6-foot2-inch receiver has been Neal’s favorite target through two games with 13 receptions and 153 yards.

“I sat down with [head coach Mike Neu] for about 30 minutes or so about the look KeVonn has in his eye on game day,” Neal said. “He comes ready to play. He’s got some dog in him. When he’s on the sideline, coach will ask him, ‘How’d you look on this play?’ And he’ll tell you, ‘I was open, I was open.’ It doesn’t matter who was guarding him. But that’s how all the good receivers are. He wants the ball every play and believes he’s open every time.”

Mabon is currently on pace for 78 catches and 918 yards this season, both of which would be career highs.

He also finished his five-catch, 84yard performance against Indiana in ninth place on the receiving list with 2,043 career receiving yards. Now that he’s had time to sit and reflect on the individual milestone, Mabon said it’s a remarkable feat.

“I look at the receiving records, and there aren’t that many guys that are over 2,000 in Ball State history,” he said. “So I think that’s a big accomplishment.”

Mabon is still looking for a signature moment this season. But through two games, he said he’s just being himself.

And that’s just fine with Neu. “There are players you can look at their face and know, ‘Give it to me.

I need it, I want the ball’ in the right way, and not a selfish manner,” Neu said. “He’s one of those guys we’ve got to get the ball in his hands as many ways as possible.”

A lot of Mabon’s work has come in the short passing game this season.

He’s turned some short passes into big gains and even got involved in the rushing game at Indiana with an 8-yard gain on an end-around.

He prides himself on being Neal’s go-to receiver in third down situations.

“I’m doing what I’m supposed to be doing,” Mabon said. “I’m making the most of the plays that come to me. I haven’t made any spectacularly huge plays, but I’ve made a lot of clutch plays on third downs and getting the ball to the goal line. I’m just doing my job.”

It’s a matter of time before Mabon gets that first touchdown of the season. But until he does, he will just keep being the consistent playmaker that he’s been throughout his career.

high 11 saves in a 1-0 double-overtime upset of Louisville, to Stuteville’s seven saves in three starts.

Stuteville, however, has only allowed two goals to Heintschel’s six goals.

Stuteville also has a higher save percentage (.857 versus .793).

Roberts said the Cardinals’ depth in the net gives the team some insurance.

“If one them did get injured, we have the comfort of knowing that we have a very good goalkeeper backing that up,” he said.

But everybody wants to earn the position fair and square, he said, and whoever ends up on the bench will keep rooting on the starter.

“Our team is very family oriented, and we’re going to compete,” he said. “But we want what’s best for the program, so nothing is personal.”

Heintschel even said the goalkeepers’ rivalry is suspended when they step off the pitch.

“We’re very good friends off the field,” Heintschel said. “I’ve been in situations in the past where the other goalkeeper and I did not get along, personalities don’t mesh, we’re competitive on the field so off the field it almost gets personal and [Stuteville] and I are not that way, which is something I’m very grateful for.”

On Friday, either Heintschel or Stuteville will start against Morehead State (3-3-1).

Both, however, know they won’t be the center of attention — the mid-

“If you’re ever not sure, he’s the first guy you’d want to go to,” Neal said.

“He’s big, physical, has some speed to him. He has good hands, he’ll catch anything. If you ever aren’t sure, No. 16 is a good guy to look to.”
