President Mearns to discuss arts, culture at next public forum President Geoffrey S. Mearns will sit on a panel with Board of Trustees member Tom Bracken, board president of Muncie Civic Theatre Leigh Edwards, director of Ball State School of Music Ryan Hourigan, director of Muncie Public Library Akilah Nosakhere and director of education at David Owsley Museum of Art Tania Said to discuss arts and culture Wednesday.

The forums are a part of the partnership with The Star Press to help further engage the Ball State and Muncie communities.

Mearns’s goal for the forums is to listen to community members about how the university and the Muncie communities can continue to bridge

the gap.

“I think it’s in our institutional interest, our futures are connected, so Ball State has a direct interest in helping support Muncie,” Mearns said. “Also, it’s about gratitude. We have an obligation to support our community when they need us.”

During his last public forum on Sept.

13, Mearns discussed Ball State’s moral obligation to serve Muncie.

In order to increase the support for higher education in Muncie by “taking action,” Mearns and Jennifer Mearns, his wife, created an endowment fund for Muncie Central graduates who are planning to become first-generation college graduates at Ball State.

During the forum, Mearns announced the George and Frances Ball Foundation will contribute $150,000 to the scholarship. The scholarship fund now has a total of $430,000.

Additionally, community members asked that the university keep

Towne Boutique downsizes inventory, relocates store to White River Plaza 94-year-old owner, Mattie Coleman, doesn’t plan on slowing down business any time soon Mary Freda Assistant News Editor Mattie Coleman, owner of Towne Boutique, moved to Muncie over 60 years ago with her five children, a little black suitcase and a sewing machine.

Coleman made a name for herself from her home, where she designed and sewed clothing and hats. Eventually, Coleman opened a central location downtown.

“I remember one thing when we got the business downtown. My daughter told me, ‘Mom, we’re going to have to move,’” Coleman said.

Before Coleman agreed to anything, she prayed about it.

“I saw this little place in a dream and we went down to talk to the man about it and we decided we gonna move there,” Coleman said. “So that’s what got me out of my house. So, I made a living before I went in the building. I bought my first Mercedes and paid for my retirement home working out of my home.”

In May, Coleman had a stroke. She was in Ball Memorial Hospital for about a month, her

granddaughter Asha Hobbs said. After her stay there, she was taken to Westminster Village on Bethel Avenue to continue her recovery.

Since Coleman’s stroke, Hobbs moved in with her to help with her recovery. However, Hobbs said Coleman has always gone “100 miles per hour” so getting her to slow down has been the hardest part of the recovery process.

“She’s got the spirit of a 25-year-old, we have trouble keeping up with her,” Hobbs said.

Even during her childhood, Asha said, Coleman was always working and teaching.

“I think one of the biggest things I did learn from grandma, and to this day, I will quote it to other people, she said, ‘Never, ever spend your last dime,’” Hobbs said. “So I, to this day, have one dollar bill and it is underneath this little angels blessing box that I have ... and that is the one dollar I will never, ever spend.”

During her time in the hospital and Westminster Village, Coleman closed the location on Walnut Street. She had to be out by Aug. 31.

“I’m not out of business at the Towne Boutique,” Coleman said. “I never told nobody I was closing, in fact I didn’t know I was going to close myself. But when I got ill, I had to shut

down. I was not going to pay $1,400 a month and I’m not there.”

Towne Boutique is now located in White River Plaza. The space has yet to be set up for retail, but Coleman said customers can call her old business line for an in-house appointment.

For Coleman, business didn’t rely on the sign above her door.

“The shop was really just a name for me, because I’ve always earned my business, earned money out of my home,” Coleman said.

But closing the location on Walnut Street didn’t concern Coleman. She still took orders while she was in the hospital.

“I didn’t get upset and worry about why this happened,” Coleman said. “I said, ‘Well, I know the Lord have a way to set you down and make you think.’ That’s what happened to me.”

Along with her faith, she knew her reputation would keep her busy despite the move.

“Once you make a name for yourself, you never go out of business,” Coleman said.

“Everybody, your customers, you got them and it goes down through generation.”

Coleman’s new storefront is in White River Plaza located at 2100 W. White River Blvd.

SGA lengthens season for Blue Loop By extending bus run, OPTiC completes its advancing technology platform point Evan Hatfield Reporter Blue Loop buses will now run from early November to early May as a result of Student Government Association action, the organization announced Monday.

The loop will also begin using larger buses in order to serve more riders at one time.

Previously, the Blue Loop only ran between Thanksgiving Break and Spring Break. The route will remain the same.

A bill to extend the route’s running time was originally proposed by SGA representative Michael Brandon in April. The SGA senate unanimously approved the resolution soon after.

“We pushed for this change because a lot of students ride the Blue Loop and feel safer because of it,” SGA President Greg Carbo said in a press release.

In order to ensure the Blue Loop will run during

these months, the Office of Transportation and Services needs more student drivers. Students can apply through Cardinal Career Link.

“The need for more student drivers is extremely crucial to the success and longevity of having the Blue Loop extended,” Carbo said. “It’s an amazing job that provides great pay and even better opportunity for an after-school side hustle.”

We pushed for this change because a lot of students ride the Blue Loop and feel safer because of it” - GREG CARBO, SGA President

Many students were quick to embrace the proposal.

“I’ve been wanting this to happen for forever,” sophomore psychology major Melissa Brayfield said. “It sucks to have to walk so far to catch a shuttle.”

Progress resumed on the bill with the start of the semester. Sue Weller, director of facilities, business services, transportation and space studies, said in August Transportation Services was working to find a way to serve more riders on the Blue Loop.

“We have always worked well with SGA and I look forward to continuing that relationship,” Weller said in an email Aug. 22.

With the completion of the extended route, OPTiC finished its platform point on advancing technology on campus. Additionally, the point resulted in the installation of more charging stations around campus and printers on every floor of the library.

Centennial

BSU centennial documentary in the works

Filmmaking project will generate three products, set to premiere during Fall 2018 semester Andrew Harp Reporter A documentary project focusing on the Ball State University centennial anniversary is in production.

Christopher Flook, telecommunications lecturer and faculty advisor for the project, said they expect to release three end products: a full-length documentary, a shorter version of the documentary and promotional pieces “designed to celebrate the university’s centennial.”

Depending on final edits, Flook said, the full documentary should be around an hour, the shorter film should be around 10 minutes and the promotional pieces will be 30 to 60 seconds.

Flook helped the team research and write over the summer and said the team should be finished editing by spring break.

Historical research occurred over the summer and scripts were written for all three products. Flook said Ball State history professor Bruce Geelhoed checked the scripts for accuracy.

Geelhoed is one of the authors of “Ball State University: An Interpretive History,” originally published in 2001. He said he applauds the timeliness

of the documentary, considering the school’s changes since 2001 from the “spoken and the written” to the “visual and the digital.”

“It’s a very worthwhile undertaking to have a documentary like this for the centennial,” Geelhoed said.

President Mearns was then sent final scripts for approval, which he granted for the production team.

Flook wants his students to have a good experience producing something valuable for the university and the community, as well as develop the skills necessary for future projects.

“When it is all said and done, I hope that the students’s work will have a lasting impact on the future of Ball State. I hope that we all will have a better understanding of Ball State’s evolution, but also a strong desire to make the next century even better,” Flook said.

John Osterhoudt, a senior theater directing and video production double major, is the director of the full-length film. He said working on this film has been different than anything else he has done before.

“It’s really stretching my skills as a visual storyteller and how to work directly with my teammates in a technical way,” he said. “Before, it’s

always been story based, and it still is, but this is a lot more of a technical muscle flex that I have yet to do.

It’s very collaborative.”

Osterhoudt said he and his team are in the process of interviewing people. Interviewees include historians, old presidents and “a few alumni celebrities which aren’t official yet.”

A closed premiere of the film is planned for students and faculty sometime this spring.

Flook said there will be a big premiere that will be open to the public in either August, September or October 2018. A live orchestra will play the score of the documentary as the film rolls, which will be produced by music media production students.

Band member pops big question at game

Halftime is always a spectacle, but Family Weekend’s was especially exciting for two students Michelle Kaufman Reporter The Pride of Mid-America marching band hit an especially high note during its halftime show on Saturday — a marriage proposal on the 50-yard line.

Jacob Sleek, a senior music education major and Shelby Fortlander, a senior exercise science major, have been together for nearly five and a half years. They met in second grade and started dating their sophomore year of high school.

Sleek’s mom was Fortlander’s peewee cheerleading coach, and Fortlander’s dad was their band director in middle and high school.

At Ball State, Sleek is on the drumline and Fortlander is in the color guard.

Sleek got the idea for the proposal two weeks ago and bought a ring Labor Day weekend. In order to pull off the big proposal, he met with associate director of bands Caroline Hand to discuss his options.

“From the time I talked to Dr. Hand on Monday and especially after I got the approval on Tuesday, I [was] kinda freaking out, like all day every day,” Sleek said. “I had to try to keep it in and not give it away to her.”

After the proposal, the band played the song “She Loves You” by the Beatles while standing in a heart formation.

Many media members and even some band members pulled out their cameras or phones to help the couple capture the moment.

“I didn’t notice the entire drumline with their phones out, I didn’t notice the photographers in front of us, it was very me and him,” Fortlander said. “He was the only person I saw there.”

Sleek, who Fortlander said is not a morning person, was energized and woke up at 7 a.m.

Saturday. Fortlander had no idea that anything would happen until her best friend, who is also in the color guard, put her flag down and led her to the 50-yard line.

“I saw him and he had a black box in his hand and I was like, ‘No, you’re not doing this,’ and then he did,” Fortlander said.

“After halftime, I felt so relieved and it was funny because now she was freaking out, and I was like, ‘Yeah, now you get to feel it because I’ve freaking out for the past week,’” Sleek added.

Sleek called both of their families, who came along with some of their friends. Because it was Family Weekend at Ball State, Fortlander didn’t suspect a thing.

Fortlander’s younger sister, Mikayla, who is also a band member, found out about the proposal from her mom on Saturday. She was on the field, in formation, while the proposal happened.

When band members figured out what was happening, they began to take a knee along with Sleek.

“Everyone’s yelling at me to kneel down and I was like, ‘No, I’m not kneeling down, it’s my sister,’” Mikayla said. “After it all happened

and they were all pulled aside, I was so focused on them. She’s been waiting for this for the past couple years, and I was so excited for her.”

Mikalya said Shelby is not only her sister, but also her best friend, so naturally she cried during the proposal.

“Growing up, we talked about our ideal weddings and stuff like that … it finally happened,” Mikayla said. “I knew our dad was looking down on us, and he’s proud.”

Shelby has been around music all of her life because of her dad, who passed away this summer.

She even found herself being more attracted to band guys in high school because she said they understood the schedule demands of band.

“What her dad did, that’s what I’m going to do,” Sleek said. “Finding somebody who knows what it’s going to be like to be a band director’s wife is kind of important, because it’s different and it’s a lot. We’ve done music all our life … it’s pretty important. To tie that all in with that was really cool.”

Fall Out Boy announces charity fund Sarah James Byte Reporter

CAN’T MISS ONLINE:

Kelli Miller, head coach of the women’s volleyball team and Bille Lehman, Newslink Indiana producer and race car driver join the podcast this week.

Last Thursday, Chicago-based rock group Fall Out Boy released the newest single off their upcoming album “MANIA.” The song, “The Last of the Real Ones” is the third single to be released in promotion of their seventh studio album, which was originally going to be released this month but has been pushed back until Jan. 19, 2018.

In addition to the release of the single and related music video, Fall Out Boy also announced the launching of their charity, the Fall Out Boy Fund. The fund is starting as “a way to give back to Chicago,” and the band is beginning by donating to Back to Roots — an organization that provides gardening and food education to kids in

the Chicago area. With the donations from Fall Out Boy, Back to Roots will be able to give 20,000 elementary school kids an organic gardening kit and the knowledge to grow their own food.

The band isn’t stopping there — they’re also bringing the fund on the road with them. The MANIA tour starts next month and during the course of the tour the band wants to work with local charities in the cities they visit. To accomplish this, they are launching the “The Champion of the MANIA Tour,” which is a contest of sorts where people can nominate members of their community who work to make the world a better place.

Winners will receive two tickets to their local Fall Out Boy show, and the band will donate money to a charity of the winner’s choosing. One dollar from every ticket sold across the tour will also be going toward the Fall Out Boy Fund.

Get to know the “Big 4” groups Spectrum, AASA, LSU, BSA open to all students, welcome new members throughout year

DN FILE PHOTO

Michelle Kaufman Reporter Several student organizations are based out of the L.A. Pittenger Student Center, including the Big 4 multicultural organizations that welcome new members throughout the year.

Spectrum

Spectrum is a group that encourages the LGBTQ+ community and allies to come together for educational programming and events. The group’s motto is, “You don’t have to be queer to be here.”

“We repeat [the motto] at the beginning of every single meeting because it’s really important to us to let [members] know that it is a confidentiality group and we have expectations of our members to not be in public and call someone out like ‘Hey, you were at the gay group,’” Spectrum president Brooklyn Arizmendi said. “Because we’re not the ‘gay group,’ we are Spectrum. We’re for allies as well, and we don’t make assumptions about you when you walk into our room.”

Arizmendi said she and the rest of the executive board try to make sure members get something out of the group and build community.

“It’s just a really valuable thing to me to have these people around me that I can connect with — some that are allies and some of them that are queer like I am,” Arizmendi said. “I have gained a lot of understanding about myself and other identities.

I’ve become less ignorant to a lot of subjects which I really, really appreciate and that’s what I strive to do on the daily.”

Spectrum meets at 8 p.m. every Thursday in

SC 310. The group has a family dinner at 6:30 before every meeting in the Student Center Tally.

Executive board members also have office hours every week for members to visit and ask questions.

listen to your voice.”

LSU meetings are at 5 p.m. every other Wednesday in the Student Center Multipurpose Room, located next to Cardinal Lanes.

AASA

BSA

The Asian-American Student Association provides cultural and educational programming about Asian and Asian-American culture. The group’s goal is to expand members’ knowledge, and members or attendees do not have to be of Asian descent.

“People should join AASA to learn more about Asian culture because it provides members experiences within that community and build bonds with other members,” AASA president Huy Huynh said.

AASA meets at 6:30 p.m. every Monday in SC 301. Events this semester include learning how to make dumplings and a discussion on mental health regarding Asian-Americans.

LSU

The Latinx Student Union promotes unity amongst the Latinx community of Ball State and hosts educational and social events for everyone on campus and people in the Muncie community.

LSU president Ashley Caceres has been a member of LSU for three years and has gotten more than friendship out of being involved.

“I have learned how to accept all parts of my culture, as well as learned how to be an activist for the Latinx community,” Caceres said. “People should join LSU if they are interested in learning or celebrating the Latinx culture. Whether you are Latinx or not, there is always a community here to

The Black Student Association, formerly known as the Black Student Union, is an organization that works to unify students through events and discussions from a unique African-American perspective.

BSA has been at Ball State since 1969. The organization is open to anyone.

“We just ask that everyone comes with an open mind and show respect to those with different opinions,” president Da’Prielle Fuller said.

BSA hosts several event throughout the year, such as the Unity Scholarship pageant and Cultural Dinner.

TEACHERS

“People should join BSA because we work to make sure our students feel at home when they are at events and meetings. We listen to our members and advocate for things that they want on campus,” Fuller said. “We try to give a voice to black students on campus so that they know their voice never goes unheard.”

BSA meetings are at 5 p.m. every other Tuesday in Teachers College Room 121.

The first game against Trine begins at 11 a.m. and the game against Fort Wayne follows at 1:30 p.m. Both games take place at the Ball State Softball Complex.

Jessica Carroll Reporter Ball State women’s volleyball closed out nonconference play this weekend with three matches against Evansville, Duquesne and Butler in the Ball State and Butler Tournament.

The Cardinals recorded a 8-5 overall record in nonconference play, after finishing out the weekend 2-1.

“We’ve still got to find more consistency,” head coach Kelli Miller said. “One strength was that we had a lot of people come off the bench and really help us out this weekend.

They did a great job of filling in and stepping up.”

On Thursday, the Ball State Cardinals defeated the Evansville Purple Aces (6-6) with a straight-set win to open the tournament (25-15, 25-18, 25-14).

Becoming a green campus Improving sustainability creates big changes for Ball State Lauren Owens Reporter

thousands of trays a week,” said Suzanne Clem, marketing coordinator for Ball State dining.

To help with going trayless, dining handed out free reusable bags at the beginning of the 2017-18 academic year.

The bags are made from recycled plastic bottles and feature eight of dining’s efforts to become sustainable. The featured efforts include wholesome leftover donation, campus-grown herbs, oil recycling, reusable container discounts, eco-friendly chemicals, coffee grounds composting, wastereducing temperature alerts and local produce.

Over the years, Ball State has been in the process of making campus more green to leave less of a carbon footprint. These departments are making an effort to provide students with a green campus and taking a more sustainable approach.

Housing and Residence Life Housing and Residence Life staff is working toward a more sustainable campus “by educating individuals about their impact on the campus, local and global communities,” said Chris Wilkey, assistant director of housing and residence life for marketing and communications and technology.

Currently, several buildings are designed to meet Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) certification guidelines.

In order to be LEED certified, buildings must be designed and built “using strategies that address such standards as sustainable site selection, energy and water efficiency, materials selection and indoor environmental quality,” according to the university.

Housing has shifted the way it builds residence halls to increase sustainability, Wilkey said.

The David Letterman Communication and Media Building, Park Hall, Kinghorn Hall, Teachers College and the Jo Ann Gora Student Recreation and Wellness Center were built and designed to be LEED certified.

Additionally, the new College of Health Professions Building, slated to be completed in 2019, will have green roof areas and is designed to meet LEED Silver certification.

Geothermal Initiative The university is creating the nation’s largest groundsource, closed-loop district geothermal energy system.

Starting in 2009, the project was created to push Ball State toward a more sustainable campus.

The project provides several hundred contractors and suppliers employment and an opportunity for an estimated 2,300 direct and indirect jobs, according to a study conducted by Ball State’s Center for Business and Economic Research.

The project will replace four coal-fired boilers, which will cut the University’s carbon footprint in half, according to Ball State’s website.

The geothermal system will heat and cool 47 buildings and will save the university $2 million annually on energy costs.

Even as the university continues to expand spatially, associate vice president for facilities planning and management Jim Lowe said the current capacity of the geothermal system — based on the Campus Master Plan — can supply the heating and cooling needs well into the future.

“One of the great attributes of the geothermal system design is that it can be expanded to meet the needs of the campus,” Lowe said.

Building additions like the new Health Professions Building and East Mall will be connected to the geothermal system, Lowe said, continuing opportunities for more sustainable development practices to take place across the campus.

White River dams to be removed New grant will pay to remove dams that were originally constructed for industrial cooling.

PEXELS, COURTESY PHOTO

Phil Belpasso Reporter The Lake and River Enhancement (LARE) Program granted $150,000 to Muncie’s Community Enhancement Projects dedicated to the removal of two dams and the modification of another dam in Muncie’s White River. The CEP requested this grant with the intentions of ecology, safety and recreation in regards to the Muncie community and

the White River.

The grant will cover about 60 percent of the estimated total cost. The removal’s projected cost is more than $250,000, according to CEP’s grant request.

“We in the IDNR Division of Fish and Wildlife look to this project as beneficial in opening up river miles for better connection and a longer stretch of continuous river miles for aquatic habitat for fish and other aquatic organisms,” LARE supervisor Greg Biberdorf said.

While ecological importance was clarified, human

safety was an important factor for the grant as well.

“A side benefit is the human safety factor that removal of low-head dams (that no longer serve a purpose) can provide. They are sometimes known as ‘drowning machines’ due to the dangers of the water below the dam to kayakers or canoe paddlers,” Biberdorf said.

According to the CEP grant request, the dam was originally constructed for industrial cooling by Indiana Steel and Wire Corporation, a manufacturer that went bankrupt in the early 1990s.

The CEP and the Delaware County Soil and Water Conservation District will be holding two public forums to inform the Muncie community about the project and open up discussion.

“The intent of the public forum is to answer community questions about the dam removal process and document concerns about potential impacts. We will be sharing information about the dam removal feasibility research and the rationale as to why some dams are going to be removed,” CEP President John Craddock said.

4 D.I.Y. RECYCLING PROJECTS Liz Rieth Reporter

Recyclables can add up to a lot of waste in your dorm room. But with just some duct tape and creativity, you can recycle the everyday items you find in your dorm:

Bottles

Vases, pencil holders or money jars: The basic concept of making these is all the same. You just need to decorate the cup.

• Sharpies: You can color a tribal design or write inspiring words.

• Ribbons, twine, lace or string: Wrap these around part of the bottle or all of the bottle for a unique look. Secure with glue or tape.

• Paint and stencils: Cut out a stencil in paper. Tape it to the jar and paint. You can make stencils of flowers, words or designs. This can make the paint job more precise.

• Duct tape: Buy patterned duct tape and wrap it around the cup. You can also color on monochromatic duct tape with Sharpie to make it patterned.

• Nothing: Especially if you are using a bottle for a cookie money jar, it can be fun to leave it undecorated.

Let your coins do the decorating.

Free T-shirts Bags:

1. Cut off the sleeves and cut a strip off the bottom of the shirt.

2. Turn the shirt inside out.

3. Twist the bottom of the shirt and tie it with the strip, and then turn the shirt right side out to complete the bag.

Silverware:

Pineapple lamp shade: 1. Cut off the ends of plastic spoons and the end of a bottle.

2. Paint spoon ends bright orange.

3. Using hot glue, attach spoons to bottle.

4. Using green construction paper (or paper colored green), cut out the leaves for the top of the pineapple.

5. Put your cool shade on a lamp.

Fork pom poms:

1. Wrap yarn around the tines of a fork, leaving half a centimeter of space at the bottom of the tines.

2. Wrap until the yarn around the fork is about a centimeter thick.

3. Cut the yarn. Then cut a separate piece of yarn about 3 inches long.

4. Wrap this around the spool of yarn through the space between the middle tines.

5. Tie the yarn tightly around the spool.

6. Remove spool from fork and cut the loops.

7. Trim and shape the pom pom as needed.

You can use pom poms to decorate vases, photos, desks and more.

Packages/Boxes

The packaging from your online orders has unlimited possibilities. Just use Google! These are a few ideas.

Storage: When making the box into a storage device, you just have to decorate it.

One way to decorate a cardboard box is with Mod Podge and anything paper.

1. You will need a tub of Mod Podge, a brush or hands willing to get messy, and candy wrappers.

2. Gather candy wrappers from your friends’ and your meals. The number of wrappers will depend on the size of the box.

3. Attach candy wrappers to box by putting down a layer of Mod Podge, laying the candy wrapper flat on it and then covering the wrapper with another layer of Mod Podge.

Paper towel holder:

1. Cut one strip of cardboard thin and long enough to fit through a paper towel tube. The strip should be longer than the paper towel by about an inch.

2. Cut two smaller strips of cardboard to be the same thickness and about 3 inches long.

3. Attach one of these strips to the end of the long strip with tape.

4. Then put this through the tube with the short end angling out.

5. Attach the other short piece with tape.

6. Tape the two short, angled-out pieces anywhere in your room with tape. The end of a bed would be a good place to hang this.

HOW TO MAKE PAPER MACHE (And reuse paper instead of throwing it away!)

• Mix 1 part flour and 1 part water until you get a thick, glue-like consistency. Add a bit more water if it’s too thick.

Mix well with a spoon to get rid of all the lumps.

• Add a few tablespoons of salt to the final mixture to help prevent mold. Keep in the fridge overnight if you plan to use the mix again the next day.

• You will need strips of newspaper, lots of newspaper, but that’s ok because you are recycling it!

• Let the newspaper strips soak in the mache glue for a minute before using.

• This is an important step: Cover your art work with only 2-3 layers, then let driy completely.

• Once a layer is dry you can add 2-3 more layers, remembering to let each layer dry before adding the next one.

• The final layer can be plain paper, so it’s easier to paint, but use thin paper so it will easily conform to your art work.

• When the paper is completely dry paint with tempera paint or acrylic paint for a finished look.

BSU encourages a bike-friendly campus Andrew Harp Reporter

Riding your bike down the street carefree, with the sun on your back, could be a possibility at Ball State very soon.

The university recently began the process of creating a more bikeaccessible campus. The plans were detailed in the Bicycle Master Plan, which were released to the public in March.

The plan’s recommendations will focus on facility improvements in the following areas: • Campus mobility • Connections to the surrounding community • Connecting to and supporting the city-wide effort of the Muncie Arts “Ball State University has initiated the development of a bicycle plan to increase the safety and mobility of students, faculty, staff and visitors who bike to and around campus,” Jim Lowe, associate vice president for facilities planning and management, said in an email.

The plan includes changes to bicycle circulation by improving bike parking and creating more on and offstreet bike routes to help interconnect the campus. The Cow Path, East Mall and Studebaker West will have offstreet bike paths and cycle tracks.

Lowe said Neely and Petty avenues from New York to the west pedestrian path have already been striped for bike lanes. University Avenue will have bike lanes installed within the next few weeks.

In addition, the plan calls for a cultural trail that will: • Prioritize separated facilities for pedestrians and cyclists • Determine the possibilities of bike lanes on streets adjacent to and through campus • Enhance connections to the surrounding community and critical destinations

Green spaces open to all students

• Identify locations for bike parking and the various types of bike parking required While the university is still in the beginning phases of the bicycle master plan, senior theater major Abigail Tomlin said bike accessibility on campus has improved since her freshman year.

“It was pretty sad how often I ran into things because of there not being enough bike lanes,” Tomlin said. “I

Encouraging the use of bicycles on campus, and around the community by making it attractive and safe is one step we can take as a campus and community.”

- JIM LOWE, Ball State associate vice president for facilities planning and management think in the past three or four years it’s gotten a lot better and a lot safer for bikes as they go further into their process of updating the campus.”

In addition to creating a safer environment, the bicycle master plan allows for a greener campus and community.

“As we continue our move toward a more sustainable campus, community and society, we need to encourage other forms of travel that mitigate air quality issues caused by other forms of travel,” Lowe said. “Encouraging the use of bicycles on campus, and around the community by making it attractive and safe is one step we can take as a campus and community.”

Look to these four spaces within walking distance from campus for green space Holly Biller Reporter Trees shade the Quad and University Green, flowers speckle planters near buildings – nature isn’t hard to come by on campus.

But Ball State’s invitation to Mother Nature extends beyond trees and flowers. The university has a duck pond in addition to the green spaces around campus.

Christy Woods lines the southwest end of campus and serves as a tour destination, a classroom space and houses two of the university’s four greenhouses.

The Teaching and Research Greenhouse and the Rinard Orchid Greenhouse inhabit part of the 17acre property. But nature’s purpose isn’t to be pretty.

Freshman sculpture major Jakob Rosenberger pulls inspiration from greenery around campus.

“Greenery is where I pull a lot of creativity and ideas because there’s nothing like nature. I actually find that most of my ideas come to me while I’m walking around or sitting outside and it’s always great to get some fresh air if you’re stuck on a certain aspect of your project,” Rosenberger said.

In addition to greenhouses and Christy Woods, Ball State is

less than three miles away from Cardinal Greenway.

Cardinal Greenway is a 62mile recreational trail that extends from Marion to Muncie to Richmond, Indiana. Along with its bike trails, there are also equestrian trails available for use.

Trails are open seven days a week from dusk to dawn.

Students can use a bike on the Greenway for free. All they must do is bring a photo ID to the depot located at 700 E. Wysor St. and hit the trails.

Soccer opens up MAC play on the road Nate Fields Reporter

Ball State soccer opens up its conference schedule with a twogame road trip this weekend to face a pair of Mid-American Conference opponents in Bowling Green and Toledo.

The Cardinals (2-5-1) are looking to build on last Friday’s game, in their first true offensive outburst of the season.

“The last game we had was the first time all of our players were healthy, so it was the first time we got to get a real look at what we’ve got,” head coach Craig Roberts said. “We have a lot of striking power, we can score goals it’s just a matter of putting it into action.”

Ball State’s first MAC game comes Friday against Bowling Green (5-2-0), who is riding the momentum of a three-game win streak thanks in part to senior forward Skylar Fleak.

“We have to keep a close eye [on Fleak] and shut that down,” Roberts said. “She’s their leading scorer, so we’ll have to remain consistent and

VOLLEYBALL Continued from Page 11

The Cardinals grabbed a first set win with 11 assists from sophomore setter Amber Seaman, along with four kills from redshirt junior middle hitter Meg Starling.

Ball State followed in the second set, to record another win against the Aces, 25-18.

Evansville started off strong in the third set with a seven point run; however, Ball State kept its momentum and took the lead at 9-8 with two kills from Starling and junior outside hitter Ellie Dunn.

On Friday, the Cardinals fought back from a 2-0 deficit to pull off a five set win against Duquesne in the tournament. (20-25, 21-25, 2522, 25-19, 15-11).

Ball State and Duquesne kicked off the first set in a teetertotter race for points, tying a total of 15 times, with seven lead changes. The Dukes pulled through with a first set win at 25-20, and followed suit in the second set at 25-21.

Vying for the third win, sophomore defensive specialist

Kate Avila took the serve at set point and finished the set with an ace, 25-22. The Cardinals were all in, bringing the heat in the fourth set with a 7-4 point run with the help of three kills by junior outside hitter Ellie Dunn and three more from Holland.

Ball State won the fourth set 25-19, after a double block from Dunn and sophomore middle hitter Sydnee Vanbeek. A 15-11 victory in the fifth set gave Ball State the match victory.

“I thought our intensity really picked up in set three, we were just sluggish in the first few sets,” Miller said. “When you’re playing sluggish volleyball, you’re going to get beat by good teams. I think we finally got a little kick in the butt and came back out with so much more intensity.”

The Cardinals finished out the tournament at Hinkle Fieldhouse at Butler against the Bulldogs.

What looked to be a possible back-to-back 2-0 match comeback on Saturday ended in a Butler victory over Ball State. An

patient with our defense.”

The Cardinals defeated Bowling Green 2-0 in last year’s matchup at Briner Sports Complex.

Ball State tested itself in the nonconference portion of its schedule, with games against Big 12 opponents in Baylor and TCU, in addition to then ranked No. 18 Notre Dame. Roberts looks at these games as an early test as they now enter MAC play.

“I think that the games we’ve scheduled have prepared us for a faster level of play, so I think we’ll be prepared for what they have to throw at us,” Roberts said.

Ball State has had success during MAC play over the past two years, as they recorded 19 wins to tie for the most wins had in the conference in a two-year span. The Cardinals will strive to make history, as achieving a third straight regular season MAC championship has yet to be done.

Ball State will travel to Bowling Green on Friday with a 7 p.m. kickoff, followed by a 1 p.m. kickoff Sunday at Toledo.

Women’s Golf

Morgan Nadaline’s top 15 finish carries women’s golf team in Cardinal Classic Drew Pierce Reporter Ball State women’s golf hosted its annual Cardinal Classic, which brought the biggest field of golfers in the tournament’s history to the Players Club in Yorktown as over 100 golfers represented 19 schools.

Through 54 holes, Ball State tied for ninth place out of 19 teams. IUPUI won the tournament with 863 points. Challenged by the hour rain delay Tuesday, the Ball State golfers stayed focused and used their knowledge of the course to their advantage.

Leading the team was senior Morgan Nadaline, who sat at five over par after both days, and finished in a tie for 12th overall. Nadaline stayed consistent with a 78-point final round to put her at 221 points in 54 holes on the tournament.

“It was just a tremendous day [for Morgan],” Mowat said. “Overall, we look at a three-day total that’s a five over par and I think the best of her career, and certainly that’s something to really celebrate for Morgan.”

Freshman Sydney Anderson (16+) paced the Cardinals with 74-point finish. Sophomore Manon Tounalom shot a 76, to come in as Ball State’s second-best finisher, tying for 29th. Freshman Liz

Men’s Golf

Men’s golf focuses on putting struggle at SMU Invitational Sunday Ben Schueren Reporter Missed putts on the greens this weekend left Ball State men’s golf head coach Mike Fleck wondering what could have been.

Ball State entered the final round of the EKU Intercollegiate in second, just four shots shy of leader Eastern Kentucky, before a lackluster final round dropped them to fourth overall.

“Our birdie conversion when we hit the green has been way down,” Fleck said. “When you’re hitting that many greens and getting that many good looks inside of 10 feet, you got to convert those puts. Through the first two events, we just haven’t been very good at getting the ball in the hole once we get on the green.”

In preparation for the SMU Invitational this weekend, Ball State men’s golf will direct its attention to improving its putting. Fleck plans to have the team stay on the driving range as it will be working on putting drills on the green.

The tournament will take place at the Trinity Forest Golf Club in Dallas, which opened in fall of 2016 and is the new host of the PGA Tour AT&T Byron Nelson Classic.

However, Fleck sees it as a chance to improve.

“There’s no pressure on us,” Fleck said. “We go in there on paper as one of the weakest teams in the field. Therefore, we can go there, let it go, play golf and see what happens without the pressure of having to be in one of the top spots.”

The SMU National Invitational is Sept. 24-Sept.

Tee times TBA.

It’s ironic that Ball State freshman linebacker David Rueth intercepted a pass that bounced off his teammate’s foot.

Rueth got his first collegiate start — and interception — in the Cardinals’ 28-13 win over Tennessee Tech last weekend. But last year, he played goalkeeper for one of Ohio’s best high school soccer teams.

“There’s a lot of footwork involved in playing goalie, a lot of lateral movement and lateral quickness that really helped [with football],” Rueth said.

With Rueth in goal, Archbishop Alter High School won the 2016 Division II State Championship. He also played middle linebacker as the football team made it to the Division IV state semifinals.

He originally wasn’t going to play both sports — the high school soccer season overlaps with football, and Rueth’s goal was to play college football.

“I love being physical,” Rueth said. “That’s one of the big things, in soccer there’s very little physicality — especially from a goalie position.”

But boys’ soccer coach Bob Ellis needed a goalie, and Rueth played club soccer every spring.

Ellis went to Alter High football coach Ed Domsitz and the Rueth family to work out a deal.

Rueth would skip soccer practices in favor of football, but start on game day.

“We never did actually have a formal soccer practice with David in the goal,” Ellis said.

Ellis said the Knights even set a record that season as Rueth allowed just eight goals.

Of course, Rueth’s passion for soccer might have hurt his football recruitment because club soccer tournaments kept him from attending offseason

football camps and getting his name out there. “[Ball State] was my only offer and back in the fall, I was thinking, ‘I definitely should have more offers,’” Rueth said. “But it doesn’t matter because I’m in a place that’s a good fit for me, and I’m getting playing time here, so I’m really happy.”

Rueth played in all three of the Cardinals’ games this season, and he forced and recovered a fumble against UAB. He’s also sixth on the team with 11 tackles.

“I’m not surprised that he’s playing some for Ball State,” Domsitz said. “I thought whoever ended up with David was going to be pleasantly surprised because he’s just an amazing football player.”

The surprise isn’t that he’s playing, but rather where he’s playing. Even Rueth admits his lanky frame — he’s listed at 6-foot-even and 208 pounds on the Cardinals’ roster — could use some time in the weight room.

But an injury to redshirt sophomore middle linebacker Jacob White opened up some playing time, and Ball State linebackers coach Johnny Curtis said Rueth’s intangibles are strong enough to keep him in the middle. “[The playing time is] attributed to how smart he is,” Curtis said. “He’s comfortable in communicating with the front. He’s physical enough. He plays with good pad leverage to compensate a bit for his size deficiency.”

It helps that Rueth doesn’t know how to be unsuccessful.

“It’s because the players around me have always been great, and I guess I was used to it,” Rueth said.

“It wasn’t something that was different. Winning is just natural to me.”

Ball State looks to win its third consecutive game this Saturday when it takes on Western Kentucky (1-2) at 7 p.m. in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Life in LaFollette

KAITI SULLIVAN, DN

One writer begins her series on what life is like living in a dorm room.

She begins with talking about her 1st experiences in LaFollette.

Abby LeClercq

Opinion Writer, Abstract Thinking

11 p.m., Thursday night.

Sit up in bed. Turn up the fan so you don’t sweat to death in your sleep. Watch centipedes run across the floor and into the closet. Lay down and go back to sleep.

Welcome to LaFollette.

This is the beginning of my story for the next eight months of my life. The ups and downs of living in the residence hall with the worst reputation, coming to life through my words.

The day residence hall assignments were sent out, I felt my heart sink to my feet. Even as incoming freshmen, my roommate and I had already heard the horror stories of LaFollette.

From no A/C and elevators that only reach the sixth floor to the ongoing demolition of different halls connected to the complex, this place was shaping up to be straight out of a Tim Burton film.

On move-in day, I met an upperclassman girl on the same floor as me who helped me lug all of my belongings to my room. I will forever be thankful for this girl because she instilled my first sense of hope toward the timeworn building that was sprawled in front of me.

We took a break from moving the mountains of my possessions and sat down on a cart to rest. I ranted to her about my fears of living here and she immediately chimed in with the most optimistic

comment. “At least you’ll have killer legs by the end of the year from climbing these stairs,” she said.

That one sentence was enough to make me rethink my entire impending experience. Not because she was right about the major leg workout, but because she took an issue going through everyone’s mind on the eighth floor and made it seem minor compared to the benefits.

Right off the bat, I started seeing the positive things in LaFollette that everyone tried to talk about in an attempt to make you feel better.

INSIDE: TWO OPPOSING OPINIONS ON WHAT TO DO WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY

Consistency in the destruction of icons Jordan Moorman takes on idea of destroying racist ideologies, symbols in modern-day society

Jordan Moorman

Jordan is a junior political science and history major and writes “Musings from Moorman” for the Daily News. His views do not necessarily agree with those of the newspaper. Write to Jordan at jamoorman@bsu.edu.

An issue of salience this year has been one requiring analysis Opinion Writer, from a historical perspective.

“Musings from I have increasingly noticed Moorman” symbols historically associated with intolerance, hate, racism, etc. as part of the news. As a conservative, I believe these symbols of hate and injustice should be taken down.

Symbols advocating for genocide, violence and oppression have no place in this nation. The tearing down of these institutions and the figures that represent the injustice of the past is more than reasonable. Indeed, a plethora of modern institutions and figures exist to this day with influences from that sordid past.

What do we make of figures who promote segregation? Figures who speak at Ku Klux Klan rallies? Figures who are truly racist? Figures who push racist media and use racial slurs? This sort of thing has no place in society. They are hateful.

Illogical. But once more, there remain pillars in our society that are remnants of a terrible past, existing in plain sight.

I speak not of statues of Confederate soldiers, but of the modern-day institution of the Democratic Party.

I concede that statues of certain individuals do not need to be memorialized. I concede that some images are unnecessary reminders of a dark past. But let us be consistent. If we tear down statues of slave owners, let us also tear down those who oppressed and perpetuated the worst kind of racism.

LAFOLLETTE

Continued from Page 15 The first thing you notice about this residence hall is its prison-like lighting and, of course, the sense of community. The doors are always open if anyone is home, which means we are constantly flowing in and out of each others’ rooms. It’s not uncommon at all for a floormate to just pop in to your room and ask how your day is going, or see if they can borrow some nail polish.

Carol Swain, an African-American professor of political science at the University of Vanderbilt, was featured in a video called, “The Inconvenient Truth About the Democratic Party” on prageru.com. In it, she revealed the racist history of the Democratic Party in the United States. She explained, “The Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, opposed reconstruction, founded the Ku Klux Klan, imposed segregation, perpetrated lynchings and fought against the civil rights acts of the 1950s and the 1960s.”

Do we give them a pass because “things aren’t like that anymore”? Or, do we tear them down by mob rule because they hurt our feelings and are deemed offensive? She goes on, explaining that it was the Democrats who imposed poll taxes and used the Ku Klux Klan to terrorize and intimidate.

She cites Eric Foner, a professor of history at Columbia University, saying “In effect, the Klan was a military force serving the interests of the Democratic Party.”

Carol Swain has presented some thoughtprovoking information, much of which has been buried or ignored. How inconsistent are those who wish to destroy history by removing the statues? If we destroy those racist icons, then we better destroy them all. What bigger racist icon is there than the past Democratic Party?

Being offended is subjective. Did not the Democratic Party support and perpetuate racist ideologies, just like the statues of those who owned slaves?

So, are we going to be consistent and attack and dismantle the Democratic Party for its once terribly racist and violent actions and rhetoric? Or are we going to grow up, recognize that racism is a horrific practice and learn from our history?

Our nights are highlighted by impromptu dance parties in the hallway with the Electric Slide and long games of Cards Against Humanity that always leave me feeling like I know my floormates a little too well.

I’ve also come to the conclusion that even though this may be the case for the female floors of LaFollette, it’s definitely not the same for the males. The halls were lined with stray socks, garbage and shirtless boys. One trip to the deep recesses of floors one through four left me feeling like I was in dire need of eight showers and a

We must unite together or we as a country will fail Dominic Bordenaro responds to Jordan Moorman’s claims, defends Democratic Party Dominic is a sophomore political science major and writes “Dominic’s Politics” for the Daily News. His views do not necessarily agree with those of the newspaper. Write to Dominic at dabordenaro@bsu.edu.

If my readers haven’t figured

it out yet, I’m a Democrat. I am Dominic Bordenaro proud to say that.

To me, being a Democrat means caring about everyone.

It means loving everyone, promoting equality, fighting racism and helping those that do not have the same privileges as me. It means that I believe in science, that voting should be easier and, to some of us, it means that healthcare is a right.

It means I want to build bridges, not walls.

Whenever someone attacks my party, I am obligated to defend it. The attacks laid out by another columnist are misleading and wrong, and that has made me very angry. The Democratic party cannot be compared to statues, like my colleague has tried to do.

In the past, the Democratic Party was not what it is now. It fought for slavery and other injustices.

Times have changed. The party is different than it used to be, it only carries the same name.

Comparing the Democratic Party to racist statues of Confederate soldiers is not an argument, it is grasping at straws.

Here is the biggest difference between the party and these statues: statues do not change.

They are not capable of meaning anything else.

They don’t move, they don’t compromise their beliefs for other people. The people they are built for are dead.

They will always be racist.

Opinion Writer, “Dominic’s Politics”

tetanus shot.

Another big thing I saw was that there was not a single door propped open, which eliminates any chance of making friends with the other inhabitants of the floor. Boys, I can assure you the guy next door won’t think you’re weird if you ask him to hang out.

College is a learning experience, so take that shot and make a memory from it.

My views on this building, which is so close to its own graduation, are skewed and all over the place, but they are my own. I am already

They need to be removed. Put them in museums where people can be educated. Do not glorify these racist symbols in town squares and city circles.

Instead, put up more statues of Martin Luther King Jr., Harriet Tubman or other great members of our society.

I’m not saying the Democratic Party is perfect.

We’ve had our problems, even recently. We’ve made mistakes that have wreaked havoc on minorities, such as the 1994 crime bill.

It is so important to learn from these mistakes.

Republicans are making it harder. More and more red states are taking talks of slavery and segregation out of textbooks.

That’s racism.

It is hypocritical to say that taking down racist statues is keeping us from learning or taking away our culture, while shielding students from the truths of our racist past.

These statues were put up during the Jim Crow era to idolize white supremacy and put minorities down further.

To me it is sad, immoral and un-American that anyone could defend these statues.

If we want to talk about racism today, we need to look at the modern Republican Party and the Alt-right.

The Republican president employs white supremacists in his administration.

And while members of the party have spoken out against white supremacy, their actions say otherwise. Whether it’s disenfranchising minority voters or stocking white resentment to garner votes, it’s all racist.

We must end the hate.

Putting parties aside, it is not who we are. It cannot be who we are. We must unite together or we as a country will fail.

developing a love-hate relationship with LaFollette and maybe by the end of my stay here, I will have a definite opinion on the lovely subject of my writing.

Maybe I’ll die of an infectious disease or a short in the sketchy circuits. Maybe this will turn into the best year of my life. The world and I will remain undetermined on this matter until I have reached my full experience.

Ball State alumnus creates app GoWild provides new take on social media for outdoorsmen Maggie Stolfa Reporter GoWild is a new iOS app recently released by a small team including Ball State alumnus Zach Grimes.

The app was created to give those with a passion for the outdoors a safe place to engage, interact, learn and post about their experiences.

The original idea for the app came from co-founder Brad Luttrell, who wanted to give outdoorsmen the chance to share their passion with a community that has similar interests and would not be upset by the content.

“Instead of ignoring hunting and fishing posts, some people who disagree are flagging the posts,” Luttrell said.

Grimes said the main issue with other social media platforms is that users “follow

people, not content,” which keeps them from having a personalized experience based on their interests.

For GoWild to be different from other social media, Luttrell needed someone who had a background in analytics, which is why he approached Grimes.

Grimes studied data science at Northwestern University, but he feels his time at Ball State as an undergraduate is what prepared him for jobs and projects such as GoWild.

At Ball State, Grimes said he was involved in organizations like the American Advertising Federation and was mentored by many faculty members, including Michael Hanley, an associate journalism professor, and Lori Byers, the associate dean of the College of Communication, Information and Media.

Both Byers and Hanley

praised Grimes for his hard work and drive to succeed.

“He was one of my top media planning and research students and led the 2008 and 2009 research team for the AAF National Student Advertising Competition,” Hanley said.

“What I really liked about Zach was how curious he was about always finding the right answer.

That’s the sign of the great advertising person.”

Grimes said his instructors’ advice to work outside of his comfort zone allowed him to develop his work ethic.

“He not only rises to challenges, he purposely pursues challenges that others would avoid to raise his own personal bar,” Byers said.

Grimes had to apply all the knowledge he learned through his experiences in order to create the app in one year.

Despite a short deadline, the app was also designed to have many different functions.

Users can share photos and log achievements to track their records. The app will also make recommendations — like where to hunt, fish, hike or camp — based off of activities the user posts about.

“The app learns how to score based off of a machine learning algorithm that is constantly tweaking itself,” Grimes said.

“A buck killed in Montana might not be the same as a buck killed in Indiana. It takes into account the time of year and weather to analytically score that animal too.”

Grimes and the rest of the team are still working to improve the app. They hope to make the app available to Android customers in the future as well.

Student employment can be intimidating, but Byron Ballard has always offered students who come to him friendly advice with a welcoming personality.

In 1996, Ballard started working at the Ball State Career Center. For 21 years, he worked to improve the Career Center and accommodate students and teachers.

Julie Short, assistant director of data operations and technology for the Career Center, said Ballard has been the face of student employment on campus for years, and pushed his students to be successful both academically and professionally.

“He offered a warm, welcoming presence for

He offered me a lot of career advice, encouragement and support, both professionally and personally.”

- KAIA THOMPSON, former career assistant students,” Short said. “He put them at ease and helped make the student employment process more understandable.”

Talking to nervous students was one of Ballard’s favorite parts of his job. He loved building relationships with them and helping them overcome challenges.

Two years ago, Ballard was able to reconnect with a student he had mentored over a decade ago. She was from a small town and was

intimidated by Ball State’s campus, so Ballard helped her feel more comfortable.

Both Ballard and the student were able to recognize each other and talk about everything that had happened in their lives since she had graduated.

Listening to her story of finding a job and starting a family reminded Ballard he wanted to form similar connections with every student he meets.

Ballard was also known to work beyond what his job title required, Short said. He trained both faculty and students to be more professional in their fields, offering generational advice such as how to interact with people from different generations.

“He took customer service to the next level to meet community needs,” Short said.

“He saw a void and filled it out of his own initiative; the role is now elevated.”

Along with all of his other responsibilities, Ballard also took the time to help student employees such as Kaia Thompson, senior communication studies major and former career assistant, work with other students.

“He offered me a lot of career advice, encouragement and support, both professionally and personally,” Thompson said.

“He made the operations easier for workers and more efficient.”

While Ballard enjoys meeting students and forming relationships with strangers, he has decided to move on to study adult and community education as a graduate student at Ball State.

“I want to further my education for more opportunities to contribute to society,” Ballard said.

Looking back at his time at the Career Center, Ballard hopes to have made an impact on the students he met and wants people to see that student employment matters.

Where They Were Before:

Rachel Fredericks’ journey driven by creative curiosity Ball State professor combats boredom with philosophy Justice Amick Reporter

Muncie Mission is a faith-based organization that is dedicated to helping the homeless and the community. The organization also has a family service program for low-income or no-income families. JESSIE JORDAN, PHOTO PROVIDED

Muncie organization provides food, service Muncie Mission volunteers help families with little to no income acquire necessities.

Justice Amick Reporter Homelessness is an issue that can be found across the United States, and Muncie is no exception. Those who are homeless in Muncie, however, have organizations like the Muncie Mission to turn to when they are in need of help.

Muncie Mission is a faithbased organization that has provided care and counseling to the homeless for over 80 years.

Jesse Dudley, Ball State alumna and volunteer coordinator for the Muncie Mission, said that most people’s vision of a homeless person living out of a cardboard box isn’t always accurate.

“It could be that someone has been couch surfing for a few months and no longer has a place to live or someone could be coming from jail and have nowhere else to go,” Dudley said.

The organization has provided over 9,000 items of clothing, 1,000 pairs of shoes, and 40,000 meals as of June 2017.

The organization also has a family services program.

“This program is set up for low-income or no-income

individuals and families living in Delaware and Blackford Counties,” Marie Williams, director of family services, said.

“We provide assistance once a month with non-perishable food items, some produce, basic hygiene items, baby clothing and diapers as available. Clothing and shoes are available once each 90 days.”

The shelter is always seeking volunteers to help with various services that are offered.

Volunteers can do anything from stocking shelves to chopping vegetables in the kitchen.

Dudley, who was an intern at the mission while studying at Ball State, said people who come to volunteer, especially college students, are more than just volunteers.

“College students are very important because they are the next generation that will be taking over,” Dudley said. “It is very important for them to have a heart for what we do so that we are able to continue helping those in need in East Central Indiana.”

Dudley and Williams both said working and volunteering at the Muncie Mission has impacted them in more ways than just

work experience and volunteer hours.

“I didn’t realize how much need there was until I started interning here and saw the need first hand,” Dudley said. “There are people here who don’t have a place to sleep at night or aren’t able to afford food to eat or clothing for their children.

I didn’t realize how much need there was until I started interning here and saw the need first hand.”

- JESSE DUDLEY, Volunteer coordinator, Muncie Mission Whatever situation it is, it’s very real and when you come to the mission, the need is very clear and that is impactful.”

Williams added that working at the Muncie Mission makes her and many of the volunteers feel like they are making a positive difference in the community.

Editor’s Note: Where They Were Before is a Ball State Daily News series profiling various professors and their lives before teaching.

As a little girl growing up in a small town in Iowa, Rachel Fredericks had no idea she would one day end up being an associate professor of Philosophy at Ball State University.

Fredricks is easily bored, but describes herself as “curious.” Things are interesting at first, but eventually they lose their luster, that “wow” factor, and she goes searching for something else.

“I didn’t really even know that [being a professor] was a thing,” Fredericks said. “I knew things I didn’t want to be. I thought when I was younger that I wanted to be an artist, but once it got serious, that was a no.”

What she did know, however, was cultural tension. Fredericks hometown was split between different viewpoints in a way she describes as “unusual.”

One half of her community was made up of third-generation conservative farmers, but the rest of the town was a variety of followers that stood behind an Indian guru, or a spiritual guide.

“There was a lot of tension between the communities and I didn’t quite fit into either one,” she said.

While trying to fit in to her community and find something new and fresh, Fredericks was given a writing assignment that led her to discover her interest in philosophy.

“I’d heard about philosophy but I didn’t know anything about it, I thought I’d learn,” Fredericks said. “It was hard, but it wasn’t boring, and that was huge for me.”

Fredericks went on to study philosophy at Reed

Rachel Fredericks

Associate professor of philosophy, Ball State University College in Portland, Oregon. While this school also fostered a small community, Fredericks was able to thoroughly enjoy herself.

“I loved it,” she said. “It was the best decision I ever made. It was small and it drew some crazy people, but I loved that. There was always something new and exciting going on. Weirdos are my people.”

Since then, Fredericks has published philosophical works in journals, created her own website and traveled across four continents.

“I like going new places that will be different,” she said. “I think it’s good to get out of your comfort zone.”

While traveling, however, Fredericks prefers to leave her camera at home and enjoy her trip without taking pictures.

“I’m not a photo taking person,” she said. “I’m there for the experience, not to prove to other people that I was there.”

In 2015, Fredericks traveled to Muncie to begin working at Ball State.

“It’s hard to say only one thing about Rachel,” said AnnMarie Adams, administrative coordinator in the Philosophy and Religious Studies Office.

“She’s always very pleasant to be around. You can count on her to get the job done. She’s great.”

Fredericks has a hard time choosing just one thing to love about Ball State. Through all the different aspects of Ball State, Fredericks hopes to continue to learn and grow every day and avoid being bored.
