t’s not often that you see a group of basketball players who are not more than 5 feet off the ground, scoring almost no baskets and having a great time with it.

Wheelchair basketball is no ordinary sport.

Wednesday nights from 7 to 8 p.m. the office of Disabled Student Development hosts Adapted Sports Night. This is an opportunity that all students are welcome to participate in, where able-bodied and people with disabilities alike are able to explore the world of adapted sports. See WHEELCHAIR, page 5

Brian Koby charged with possession of child pornography Kara Berg Crime Reporter The coach of the Ball State fencing club has been charged with 10 counts of possession of child pornography and one count of child exploitation.

Indiana State Police investigators found photos of underage girls on Brian A. Koby’s phone and computer when he was arrested Sept. 15, according to the probable cause affidavit.

Officers found the porn uploaded to Koby’s Facebook page, on his cell phone and downloaded to three or four hard drives.

Koby told officers he had 100 or less child pornographic images saved to his computer, according to the probable cause affidavit.

Koby also chatted with females he knew to be underage, according to the affidavit, and had asked for and received nude images of the girls. He told police he had sent nude images of himself to the girls as well, but he denies ever actually meeting up with them.

The affidavit gave descriptions of 10 of the photos Koby had in his possession, all with underage girls.

Ball State women’s volleyball finished its non-conference schedule with a 4-10 record.

The team will head into Mid-American Conference play when it hosts Central Michigan at 7 p.m. today at John E. Worthen Arena.

Women's volleyball prepares to begin conference play Kara Biernat Women’s Volleyball Reporter Ball State women’s volleyball turns its attention to Mid-American Conference play this weekend after finishing its non-conference schedule with a 4-10 record.

Head coach Kelli Miller would like to continue to see her team improve — the Cardinals have won three of their last four after a 0-9 start to the season.

“I think we’re starting to get some momentum and develop some chemistry with our players,” she said.

“We’re not necessarily just viewing it as wins and losses, but are trying to keep the same goals and process so we can keep getting better every day.”

Miller said sophomore outside hitter Brooklyn Goodsel and freshman libero Kate Avila are two players that have remained consistent.

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.

Despite videos, questions remain about fatal Tulsa shooting The Associated Press & Sara Barker Police in Tulsa, Oklahoma, released dash cam and aerial footage, 911 calls and police radio traffic with unusual swiftness following the Sept. 16 shooting death of an unarmed black man by a white officer.

But what actually transpired on the Tulsa street between Terence Crutcher and officer Betty Shelby remains murky.

Crutcher’s fatal shooting can be seen on two different videos provided by authorities — one from a police helicopter and the other from officer Tyler Turnbough’s dashboard camera. They both show the 40-year-old Crutcher walking with his hands in the air toward his SUV. A female officer is following him.

As Crutcher approaches the driver’s side of the SUV, more officers walk up and Crutcher appears to lower his hands and place them on the vehicle. A man inside a police helicopter overhead says: “That looks like a bad dude, too. Probably on something.”

The officers surround Crutcher and he suddenly drops to the ground.

Someone on the police radio says, “I think he may have just been tasered.” Almost immediately, a woman’s voice yells on the police radio: “Shots fired!”

Crutcher, his white shirt stained with blood, lies on the ground alone and unattended for nearly two minutes before an officer puts on medical gloves and begins to examine him.

LIGHTS OUT ON CAMPUS CONCERN STUDENTS Max Lewis Daily News Reporter

Maureen Langley // DN

Students customize majors Programs offer students chance to create courseload Sara Baker Multicultural Reporter Not all Ball State students have to study what everyone else is - they can make their own majors.

There are two programs that students can use to create their own majors: Integrated Studies and Medallion Scholars.

Integrated Studies is for students who want to combine two majors together to create a major with at least 45 credit hours, while Medallion Scholars is for students who want their major to include a number of different disciplines. These scholars must create the major with a minimum of 55 credit hours.

The Integrated Studies track is open to all Ball State students, while the Medallion Scholars program is designed specifically for students in the Honors College.

Lizz White, junior speech pathology and applied theatre major, is a Medallion Scholar. After finding out about the program from an advisor and talking to a student who was creating her own major, White decided to do that same. She scheduled a meeting with John Emert, acting dean of the Honors College.

“When I came to college, I had a lot of things that I really loved to do, and I didn’t know how to combine them all together, and so when I found out there’s a way that I could make my own major and combine all the things I loved together, I thought, ‘Why not?’” White said.

Medallion Scholars have to submit an

application to the dean of the Honors College in order to be accepted into the program, whereas those in the Integrated Studies Program work more with the associate provost and dean of University College, said Jim Reubel, dean of the Honors College in a past Daily News article.

Both programs have to maintain a 3.3 GPA. The Medallion Scholars requires two advisors from different concentration comprising the major, while the Integrated Studies major only need one.

“It’s nice to have more advisors on your board to collaborate and know what classes to take and what you should do,” White said.

White chose her major to set up to study drama therapy in graduate school.

“Eventually, I want to work with people that have disabilities,” White said. “Doing theatre, I’m using it as a therapy in a sense maybe to help them cope with a traumatic event or build confidence or just maybe bring an inclusive theatre group of someone that might have not had the experience of being in theatre.”

Corey Halbert, a sophomore and current computer science major, hopes to change his major to design development and analysis of emerging technologies through Integrated Studies.

“Yeah, it’s a mouthful,” Halbert said.

Halbert realized at the end of last year that he wanted to change his major from computer science, but he didn’t know what he wanted to switch to.

“I found my passion for [design], and

then there really wasn’t any major to, like, pursue that in at Ball State,” Halbert said.

“There’s computer science and there’s vis comm, but they’re both very strictly in one area. There wasn’t any major or any group of majors and minors that overlapped there. So I found out about Integrated Studies.”

The next step was to meet with Dean Emert and find a course schedule.

“The first thing we did is we sat down, and he pulled out the big course book, and we went through and found classes I was interested in and thought would help me get to my goals, and then we narrowed it down and found a schedule of classes that would work,” Halbert said.

For his new major, Halbert will be taking telecommunications, design and English classes, among others. He hopes that his new major will help him transfer skills from school to a job.

“I really hope to go into web design and web development. That’s like, what I’m really passionate about and what I really enjoy doing,” Halbert said. “So I hope to work for a start-up or something like that doing web design and development.”

White feels that creating her own major has made her Ball State experience unique.

“It’s kind of crazy to think after I graduate, nobody else will ever do this major again and nobody has done it up to this point. But I also wish there were more people that knew about this,” White said. “I’m so blessed I’ve had this opportunity to do that.”

Bike ride to raise awareness for greenway Ride for the Mounds will draw attention to new proposal Evan Hatfield Daily News Reporter The 2,300 acres of forest and wetlands near the White River will be more prominent than ever Saturday as Hoosier Environmental Council hosts its annual Ride for the Mounds.

The Ride for the Mounds will start from Canoe Country in Daleville and will offer three different bike rides that last 15, 30 or 45 miles. Two of the three rides will pass through Muncie.

The event will also feature food and refreshments before and after the ride, as well as a raffle and a camp-out.

Michael Popa, an outreach associate for the Hoosier Environmental Council, said the event will help to raise awareness for the proposed Mounds Greenway, which would start at the Cardinal Greenway and run to Anderson.

“We wanted to… [provide] attendees an opportunity to see what the Mounds Greenway seeks to conserve,” Popa said.

The event took place last year despite some initial weather problems.

“There were storms early in the day, but by the time check-in began, the weather had cleared,” Popa said. “We ended up having a beautiful day for riding bikes.”

Even if it rains, the ride goes on, but Popa is not concerned.

“This Saturday’s forecast is looking excellent,” Popa said.

Ball State biology professor David LeBlanc said the greenway is not the first proposal for the area.

“We were fighting against a proposal to build a dam in Anderson that would have flooded most of where this trail is going to be,” LeBlanc said. “Daleville and Yorktown rejected the proposal, which more or less killed the dam.”

The hope is that the greenway will closely follow the White River. “[It is] one of the better recreational amenities in this area,” LeBlanc said. “[It has] lots of tree cover and lots of birds and other animals to see.”

LeBlanc said the ride will support a project that he thinks Ball State students would be supportive of.

“I’ve seen many Ball State students walking, running, [and] riding bicycles on [the Cardinal] Greenway,” LeBlanc said. “This [new greenway] will… allow students to bicycle and skate and walk all the way to Anderson… and not have to be on the road and worrying about cars.”

The impact would be felt far beyond the university, however.

“This is how Delaware County starts to look like some of the counties near

RIDE FOR THE MOUNDS

• Who: Anyone who wants to preserve the free-flowing West Fork White River • What: A scenic bike ride, post-ride party and camping • When: Saturday, Sept. 24, 2016, check-in begins at 11 a.m.

• Where: Start/Finish @ Canoe Country, 6660 S. County Rd. 900 W, Daleville, IN 47334

Indianapolis,” LeBlanc said. “It’s an effort to build what’s called quality of place here. … You build amenities that people want, and then people move here.”

LeBlanc said he believes the event will continue to take place annually.

“Once the Greenway is in place, I wouldn’t be surprised if there was an annual event along the Greenway itself,” LeBlanc said.

For the moment, the aim is that what Popa describes as “a valuable natural amenity worth protecting and appreciating” will remain so.

“Ball State students should want Muncie to succeed,” Popa said. “By supporting projects that enhance quality of life in Muncie… students can play an active role making their city a better place.”

Contact Evan Hatfield with any questions or concerns at erhatfield@bsu.edu.

There are around 1,500 street lights spread throughout campus and recent student reports have not be positive.

Reports have surfaced that say the lights around campus have been turning off during nighttime hours and only turn on when someone walks by, like they were being activated by motion sensors.

These reports have been disputed by Jim Lowe, associate vice president for facilities planning and management.

Lowe said that campus lights do not use motion sensors and are designed to turn on when it gets dark and turn off when the sun comes up.

“If, in fact, a light turns on or off, or flickers, its typically a symptom of a bad lamp or ballast,” Lowe said.

However, many students have had experiences with lights being off when the should be on or turning on as they pass by.

Cassie Lindemeyer, a senior education major says she has had problems with the lights.

“I’ve had problems with lights when I walk by them turning off,” Lindemeyer said. “That scares the crap out of me.”

Word of lights turning off has brought about questions of campus safety.

New Student Government Association senator Sam Solomon has included improving campus street lights in her agenda.

“I think that we need to make the street lights way brighter and a lot more liable because they do not work very well at all,” Solomon said. “Especially [when] there are students walking around at night. ... It's not safe.”

Lowe encourages students to report lights that are flickering or not working and says if facilities doesn’t know about them, then they can’t fix them.

ARREST

Koby is not and never has been a Ball State employee, said university spokesperson Joan Todd. Club coaches are commonly volunteers, Todd said, and the university isn’t involved in the hiring process. Koby is a Ball State alumnus and has coached at the university since 2007.

Even so, Koby marks the fourth person affiliated with Ball State to be charged with the possession of child porn. Three others — former math professor Brian Siebenaler, former maintenance employee Randal Ray Schmidt and former information and communications sciences professor Robert Yadon — were also charged within the past six months.

Koby plead not guilty to his charges, and will appear in court for his jury trial Jan. 9.

NEW LEGISLATION PASSED FOR SGA

The Student Government Association passed legislation Wednesday that would allow for more separation of power between the branches of the government.

The new amendment would make some changes to the structure of the Student Judicial Court, another branch of student government. Previously, the vice president or secretary of justice could preside over the court, meaning there wasn’t a complete separation between the judicial and executive branch.

The Student Judicial Court is used when senators or executive members don’t follow SGA’s bylaws. They also often deal with infractions of candidates during the election season.

Hunter Schubert, the off-campus chair, authored the amendment.

“We really want to try to make this as realistic as possible to our current judicial system, and I really just went through that and tried to mirror that,” Schubert said. “I’ve had experiences before in the judicial committee, and I just didn’t feel it was represented well to the students, and this accurately represents them.”

The senators also chose committees and committee leadership during the meeting.

Keeping up with the custodians Campus staff give students clean place to live, learn Mary Freda Daily News Reporter They’re on campus every day, sweeping and mopping, sporting gray polo shirts. Some may consider them superheroes without capes: custodians.

Housing custodian Darcia Ash has worked at Ball State for 15 years.

Ash began her career in dining, but transferred to housing to secure a more stable income. Housing custodians work year-round, while dining employees share breaks with students.

“I transitioned to housing in 2001,” Ash said. “I bidded to come to housing — more money and then you work yearround. ... Like, when y’all go home, we stay and work.”

While housing offered a pay increase and a year-round position, it also offered alone time for Ash. “When you’re in housekeeping, you’re by yourself,” Ash said. “When you’re in dining, you have everybody around you, you gotta communicate with this person and when you’re in housekeeping, it’s just you.”

Monday through Friday, custodians come in and begin their day by pulling garbage, dusting floors, running sweepers, cleaning study lounges and

The most popular sport played by participants is wheelchair basketball.

Students are able to play five-on-five basketball games throughout the hour and experience a small aspect of what it's like to be in a wheelchair.

Preston Radtke, a graduate student in the College of Communication, Information, and Media, has been involved with the program since he was an undergraduate student.

“It really changes your perceptions, and it really teaches you to rely on other senses that you may not be used to,” Radtke said. “I mean, look at this, you’re not able to walk, essentially, and you have to learn to shoot the basketball from a different angle and you have to certainly shoot it higher.”

Radtke is in charge of the social media aspect for Adapted Sports Night. This year will be his first official year, though he has helped in the past. Radtke is able to use his connections made through his own experiences with adapted sports to help the DSD bring in more experienced players from time to time.

Growing up, Radtke was one of three visually impaired students at his high school. His interest in sports lead him to join groups playing adapted sports such as track and field, powerlifting and goalball.

Kimberley Ingram is a newer Ball State sub-custodian. Ingram started at the

beginning of September and while she may be new to the environment, she’s not new to the cleaning industry. She and a friend started a cleaning business in 2011. “[We] just didn’t have a lot of different

ball with bells in it to score on their opponent’s net.

“Everyone’s blindfolded because there is different levels of visual impairment and blindness. For instance, my visual acuity is 2800 and I still have some vision, but someone may be totally blind.

I guess, in theory, I could have a slight advantage,” Radtke said.

Adapted Sports Night hopes to eventually have a night where participants play goalball, but, for now, wheelchair basketball remains the main event.

While several students with disabilities participate, there are typically there are more able-bodied students playing. This, however, does not take away from the impact of the activity.

Lauren Slaven, a senior that is double majoring in meteorology and special education, found out about this group her freshman year, when it was advertised during Disability Awareness Month.

“It's awesome ... if you’re in a wheelchair you’re allowed to wheel around, go really fast, run into other people and still shoot,” Slaven said. “It’s so different from regular basketball.

People who can shoot and who are really good at regular basketball can come here and just be terrible at it because it’s a different set of muscles.”

Slaven had always enjoyed working with students who had disabilities. She also has a passion for basketball, instilled in her by her father from a young age.

While Slaven was not able to continue

playing basketball due to an ankle injury, she couldn’t stay away from the sport, and Adapted Sports Night created the perfect alternative for her.

Adapted Sports Night also holds another significance. Those involved comment on how it helps them understand, to an extent, the challenges people with disabilities face and gain a new respect for what they have accomplished.

This is something graduate student Claire Woodburn, who studies student affairs administration and higher education, wants for people who participate.

“I just want students to get an insight on what it is to maybe not be an ablebodied person. Just to see a different experience, from someone else’s point of view,” she said. “For students to see that students with disabilities can also push themselves to do more than even ablebodied people can.”

Woodburn is in charge of organizing the event and is pleased to see that opportunities such as Adapted Sports Night are helping change the world’s vocabulary. “People first” language, or saying “people with disabilities” and not “disabled people” is becoming more commonly used.

The success of opportunities like Adapted Sports Night helps both ablebodied and students with disabilities alike. Breaking down barriers, like not knowing what people with disabilities go through, gives able-bodied students a chance to see things from a new

people that we cleaned for,” Ingram said. “I knew when I came here it would definitely be a consistent job all the time and I wouldn’t have to be worried about work.”

Ingram is also a medical assistant when she’s not on campus. She completed her medical assistant degree from Ivy Tech in 2006 and said she went back to school due to family health concerns and wanted to be able to take care of her dad and grandma.

While custodial work depends on the setting, Ingram finds her work on campus to run on a generally predictable schedule.

“You basically know what you’re gonna do throughout the day,” Ingram said. “I like that because you kinda know what is expected of you ahead of time — unless something comes up.”

Although Ingram has only been on campus for roughly two weeks, she has already had the opportunity to bond with students on the fifth floor of LaFollette Complex. On her second day of work, Ingram has a situation with one of the toilets and some of the girls on the floor actually helped her fix the problem.

“All the girls are really nice,” Ingram said. “They’ve come to me if they need anything; if I don’t know where it’s at, I’ll get somebody to help.”

perspective. It also gives students with disabilities a chance to experience the communal and welcoming atmosphere of Ball State as well as get out of their comfort zones.

Radtke believes that it also helps students with disabilities overcome possible anxieties of able-bodied students looking at them differently.

“I’m not going to lie, I can’t see these people, but I can tell that most of them aren’t very good at it,” Radtke said.

“They just have a really good attitude about it. You know, ‘I missed that pass’ or ‘ I missed that shot,’ but ‘at least I’m exposing myself to something new.’”

Ball State football shifts focus to FAU Cardinals continue to look ahead after Week 3 victory

Jake Fox Football Reporter Ball State played its best complete game of the season last Saturday: a 41-14 dominant home win over Eastern Kentucky.

But fast forward 24 hours later, and that win was history. The next day, it was time to focus on Florida Atlantic.

Ball State (2-1) will travel to Boca Raton, Florida, to take on Florida Atlantic (1-2) at FAU Stadium Saturday.

This will be the first-ever meeting between the two schools.

Head coach Mike Neu knows the Cardinals will need to play their best to beat a Florida Atlantic squad that is returning home after a 63-7 road beating at Kansas State last weekend.

“This is a good football team,” Neu said. “They lost two games against very good teams in Miami [Florida] and Kansas State. We’re going to get their best effort. They’re disappointed, I know, in what happened to them a week ago, and we’re expecting a very physical game and a fast-paced game.”

Just like what Ball State felt after a 30-20 loss to Indiana in Week 2, the Cardinals know the Owls are motivated to return home to try and avenge last week’s loss.

James Gilbert, Ball State’s leading rusher through three games, said it will be tough to beat Florida Atlantic on its home field. The Cardinals’ running back

“I need them to continue to play well,” Miller said. “The biggest thing we’ve improved in the past couple of weeks is our consistency. That’s going to be the challenge for those two. People are going to start to have better scouting reports on them and more information, so the goal for them is going to be to stay mentally tough and to keep getting better.”

Following their performances in last weekend’s Active Ankle Challenge, both Goodsel and Avila were honored by the MAC. Goodsel was named the MAC

Ball State beat Eastern Kentucky 41-14 last Saturday. The Cardinals will travel to Boca Raton, Florida to play Florida Atlantic on Saturday.

by committee will look to exploit the Owls’ defense that is giving up 252.7 yards per game this season and was gashed for 336 rushing yards last week.

“Since they got beat by Kansas State, I look at it as like they’re just going to come out with a bang and try to beat

us and just turn their season around because it’s their last non-conference game, just like us,” Gilbert said. “So look for a bang out of them.”

KeVonn Mabon, who Neu said is ready to go after leaving the second half of last week’s game with an injury, repeated

West Division Offensive Player of the Week and Avila was named MAC West Division Defensive Player of the Week.

“I expect them to continue to perform how they have these past couple weeks and to focus on keeping their consistency,” Miller said.

Goodsel led the Cardinals in the Active Ankle Challenge with a .308 attack percentage, while averaging 3.58 kills and 1.92 digs per set. Avila averaged 5.17 digs per set with a .966 reception percentage for the three matches played in the tournament.

“We’re not trying to make any fundamental shifts after the weekend,

we’re just trying to keep a steady dose of improvement every single week,” Miller said.

Miller said she’s planning to ease into MAC play. With non-conference play under their belt, they don’t want to push anything before the MAC tournament.

“The MAC is going to be pretty even this year. So every match that we’re going to play is going to prepare us and give us more experience so we’re ready for the post season,” Miller said. “Our goal is to be our best when it comes to the MAC tournament and not to be our best the first weekend.”

Ball State will jump into MAC play

Gilbert’s sentiments about the Owls.

“This is big because it’s an unknown opponent for us,” Mabon said. “We’ve played IU in the past, so we knew what we were kind of getting into with that.

We played Georgia State last year, so we knew what we were getting. EKU was a new opponent, but they were FCS. This is going to be an FBS team that we’ve never played before, and we’re going to go out and show that we can beat people that we don’t have much information on.”

Florida Atlantic has a lot of talent, Neu said, and playmakers on both sides of the ball.

The Owls like to push the tempo offensively behind quarterback Jason Driskel, who has thrown for 574 yards and two touchdowns this season.

When the Cardinals are on offense, Neu said the key will be slowing down their pass rush that has accounted for 4.5 sacks.

Win or lose, 24 hours after the game, Ball State will set its mind on to the next game.

“It’s just being humble and staying hungry,” Neu said. “When you look at the film, we won 41-14. But you have to look at the film and be real with yourself. ... There’s still a lot of things we can fix.”

Ball State and Florida Atlantic will kick off at 6 p.m. Saturday.

when they host Central Michigan (7-5) at 7 p.m. today at Worthern Arena.

On Saturday, Ball State hosts Eastern Michigan at 7 p.m. Miller said the team is looking forward to a weekend of challenges within their MAC rivals.

“Our biggest challenge is that everybody is capable of beating one another night in and night out,” Miller said. “There’s never going to be an off match where you can play halfway and still win. Each night is going to be a dogfight, test our toughness and make sure we came ready to play.“ Contact Kara Biernat with any questions or concerns at @karabiernat.
