fter the retirement of the “Education Redefined” tagline last April, university officials have decided not to replace the former slogan.

At community sessions to involve the public in Ball State’s brand refresh, Joan Todd, university spokesperson, said the university won’t be adopting a new tagline as a part of the refreshed brand. Instead, the new administration is choosing to focus on entrepreneurial learning.

“Taglines were very important as part of branding 10 years ago, but we are always looking at best practices and upgrading,” Todd said.

Because brands and trends tend to evolve quickly, Todd said the university wanted to stay up with the times.

“The current thinking is that taglines tend to limit the definitions of organizations,” she said. “This gives us a little latitude to do things beyond a narrow definition.”

The 19-year-old drove her Jeep Cherokee into the back of Muncie Liquors, 801 N. Wheeling Ave., after telling Muncie Police officers that she had been drinking at Be Here Now, according to a police report.

Muncie Police Department officer Brandon Qualls said he could smell alcohol on the driver’s breath when he approached the scene, and after a preliminary breath test, determined she had a blood alcohol content of .17 percent.

“Recent Tragic Events,” the first Cave show of the year, immerses the audience into the day immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, but its young cast had to make special preparations to capture the reality of the tragedy.

Two characters in the play, Waverly and Andrew, have a blind date prepared for Sept. 12 and decide to go through with it despite the circumstances.

The play’s director sought the guidance of a faculty member with personal ties to the event,

O’Hara lived within an hour of New York City throughout his childhood and adolescence. It was the place he’d go on school holidays to visit museums and grab a solitary lunch.

There was no question that’s where he would attend college, and O’Hara enrolled at Fordham University after graduating from high school.

He left New York in 1983 to attend graduate school in Washington D.C., but by that time, O’Hara had created a solid network of friends — some of whom took jobs at the World Trade Center.

O’Hara’s network only grew as his Ball State students moved to the city to pursue their careers.

These personal stories, O’Hara’s human connection to 9/11, were the things that the play’s director, Andrew Dalton, wanted him to share with the cast.

The Ball State running game has excelled this season, averaging over 230 yards per game through four games.

Running the ball takes a team effort, but the Cardinals’ attack has been ignited by two players. Head coach Pete Lembo does not “talk in absolutes or extremes,” but said it all starts with two players.

Lembo called on Jacob Richard and Darian Green as players who have carried the offense so far this season.

“I think if you ask most people and if you ask me, ‘Tell me who the best football player is on your team,’ I’d say Jacob Richard,” Lembo said.

“You wanna talk about master of your craft, he is a master of his craft.”

Richard was a walk-on at Ball State, but hard work has propelled him into a spot as one of the top centers in the Mid-American Conference and the country. He has made 29 consecutive starts at center for the Cardinals.

McConnell spoke as the Senate wraps up a debate he engineered on a temporary spending bill that would keep the government open while the negotiations stretch through the fall.

U.S. warplanes carried out two airstrikes on Taliban positions, but government ground troops sent to try to retake Kunduz were stalled by roadblocks and ambushes a mile from their target.

NEW YORK (AP) — In a year of diplomatic breakthroughs, President Barack Obama can’t escape the shadow of Syria’s intractable crisis.

Obama arrived for his annual trip to the United Nations this week eager to tout the restoration of U.S. diplomatic ties with Cuba and the completion of a landmark nuclear accord with Iran. He shook hands with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammed Javad Zarif, the first such

Obama hosted a U.N. gathering of world leaders working to expand the battle against terrorism, a day after

encounter by an American president since the 1979 Islamic revolution, and held formal talks with Cuban President Raul Castro.

To the president, the openings with Cuba and Iran are not just validation of his own belief in the pursuit of diplomacy over military force, but also affirmation of a broader international order that marginalizes bad actors while giving them clear pathways to redemption.

ATLANTA (AP) — The only woman on Georgia’s death row is set to be executed Tuesday evening, despite pleas from her children, a former state Supreme Court justice and the pope to spare her life.

Kelly Renee Gissendaner is scheduled to die by injection of pentobarbital at 7 p.m. Tuesday at the state prison in Jackson.

Gissendaner, 47, was convicted of murder in February 1997 for slaying of her husband. She

Gissendaner would be the first woman executed in the state in 70 years.

Study confirms caffeine resets inner sleep cycle Late-night use changes body’s circadian rhythm

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 He said that he recognizes the value of assisting these students, but the process became emotional at times.

“I tend to forget that there are painful parts until I’m in the middle of telling it, and then the tears come,” he said.

“It takes a bit out of you, but it’s a bit that gets stronger and better each time it’s given away.”

In the play, Waverly and Andrew engage in an “existential debate on choice and free will and how much freedom we really have to make our own choices,” said Dalton, a senior theatre directing major.

He explained that the show delves into the causality of 9/11 and the ways that different people experienced that day in regards to their individual life experiences and perceptions.

Dalton said he has been grateful for the trust placed in him as a student to direct a production about “something as delicate as Sept. 11.”

Walker noted the emotion-

al toll this show could take on their audience.

“It’s hard because you don’t want to bring up those terrible feelings of mourning, confusion and chaos again, but you also don’t want them to forget,” Walker said. “I want people to see this as a tribute to all of the lives that were lost and the time of tragedy that our country went through.”

O’Hara won’t forget. He visits New York City every year. He goes to watch Broadway shows, of course, but he also reconnects with friends and family. His network is still strong.

On his last visit, O’Hara visited Ground Zero for the first time. He and his wife spent five hours there, weeping most of the way through.

O’Hara was impressed with the 9/11 museum, saying it focused on the people affected by the attack.

“And that’s what that day is for me,” he said. “It’s about the people I know and loved and cared about.

“Given that most of the cast had little memory of that day, my account humanized the news event and gave them some sense of the

“Recent Tragic Events” is the first Cave Studio Theatre show of the year.

The production focuses on the day immediately following the 9/11 terrorist attacks.

emotions that are embedded in the script,” O’Hara said in a separate interview with the Daily News.

Amanda Walker and Nate Shumate, who play Waverly and Andrew, were still young during the 9/11 attacks.

“Making a strong connection to it wasn’t necessarily difficult, but it was gut-wrenching and emotional,” Shumate, a sophomore acting major, said.

O’Hara described sharing his experience with the students as “the closest I’ll ever come to giving birth.”

On a typical day, Brad Gonzalez, a freshman radio broadcasting major, downs a Red Bull in the morning, a Rockstar in the afternoon and a Mountain Dew during dinner.

“There are times when I can’t sleep,” Gonzalez said.

“This is probably bad for me, but it’s a habit now.”

It might seem obvious: caffeine makes it harder to fall asleep. But a recent study published earlier this month found late-night caffeine consumption resets the circadian clock, or the body’s internal sense of time.

Prior to the study, this effect had not been observed in humans—just bread mold, green algae and sea snails, said Kenneth Wright in an interview with NPR. Wright, a professor at the University of Colorado, co-authored the study.

The study found that a double-espresso dose of caffeine shifted the body’s internal clock by 40 minutes.

Sleep can affect academic performance, mood and risk-taking behaviors, according to healthypeople.gov.

In 2011, one-third of young adults reported experiencing insufficient sleep—less than seven or eight hours.

These young adults are also

heavy caffeine consumers.

Fifty-six percent of people aged 18-43 drank one glass of soda every day, according to a 2012 Gallup poll. Coffee consumption also increased in adults aged 18-24, with 39 percent of people reporting they drank some within a two-week period, according to a 2012 survey from the NPD group.

Emily Cox, a freshman journalism major, said she’s observed bad caffeine habits in her peers.

“I see people in my classes have coffee every day,” she said.

Cutting down on caffeine can cause withdrawal symptoms, including headaches, temporary depression and irritability, according to KidsHealth. However, this isn’t stopping some students from kicking the caffeine habit.

Cox avoids it because she said drinks containing caffeine aren’t very healthy.

Caffeine isn’t all bad, though.

Downtown hotel to train people with disabilities Business offers chance to learn hospitality skills

|

REBECCA KIZER GENERAL REPORTER rjkizer@bsu.edu

A new hotel opening in downtown Muncie will train people with disabilities in the hospitality industry.

The Courtyard Marriott hotel and Thr3e Wise Men restaurant are set to open in the middle of December.

At least 20 percent of the employees for both facilities will have disabilities.

The hotel, which will open for business Dec. 15, is owned by The Arc of Indiana, an organization dedicated to serving people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. It is paired with Erskine Green Institute, where students will train before working in the hotel. Kim Dodson, executive director of The Arc of Indiana, said the many parts of the hotel make it special.

“It’s a unique project— [the] first of its kind that put all the pieces and components together in one building,” Dodson said.

The hotel will have 50 guest rooms over six floors, along with a pool, a parking garage and a covered walk to the Horizon Convention Center. Roger Brunkow, owner’s representative for the Arc of Indiana, said the rooms were designed to accommodate students with disabilities. He said 17 rooms will meet accessibility standards, which is about 12-15 more than the average hotel.

Scott Wise, owner of Scotty’s Brewhouse, was

happy to join the project with Thr3e Wise Men, his second Muncie restaurant.

The restaurant will be a part of students’ classes, with a large kitchen designed for student shadowing purposes.

“It’s something that our vision and our mission and our company is really about—more than just serving pizza and burgers and fries and wings and beer,” Wise said. “I’m just so proud and honored to be able to work with the group that we’re working [with] ... to help people that might not have gotten a shot in

the job force market; now they’re getting a lift.”

Classes are set to start Jan. 11. Students at the institute will be able to choose from eight different tracks including food service, business and health care training.

Eighty students will attend the school each year, with 20 students in each six- to eight-week session.

While the hotel has no direct affiliation with Ball State, Dodson said the two will be working in close collaboration. The students will be able to ride the buses and use Ball State food services,

Uber offers alternative to driving home drunk

Ride-hail service available in Muncie for transportation

|

CHRISTOPHER STEPHENS PRINT EDITOR castephens@bsu.edu

After a long night spent bar hopping in the Village, it’s too dangerous to drive home or to stumble through Muncie streets.

That’s where David Fletcher, a driver for ride-hailing service Uber, comes in.

“Mostly my business has been college people that have been drinking and have the intelligence not to try to get in a car themselves and drive,” Fletcher said.

Fletcher is only one of a few Uber drivers in Muncie.

The majority of his business is carting college kids home from the bars in the Village or downtown Muncie on the weekend.

“It’s great because I get to make my own hours,” he said.

Plus, with a usual hourly pay of around $20, it helps supplement his income before his pension kicks in.

Uber is one of the more popular apps that works like an on-call taxi service, allowing people who are looking for rides to call a driver for a small fee. The company operates in more than 200

cities across the globe.

Although there are only three drivers operating in the Muncie area now, Fletcher said he thinks it’s only a matter of time until more drivers and riders sign on.

“There just aren’t enough people doing it in Muncie,” he said. “Like, in Indy, there are always drivers because people know about it.”

Jack Smith, a former Ball State student, recently applied to be a driver. After passing a background check and submitting insurance information, he was cleared to drive.

Smith said he is going to use Uber to make a little cash before he heads back to school. Unlike Fletcher, Smith said he doesn’t feel like Muncie is a great place to work for Uber — he plans to go to Indianapolis instead.

“I just don’t think people know it’s a thing,” Smith said, echoing Fletcher.

Prospective drivers have to go through a background check and prove that they have a driver’s license and up-to-date insurance.

Ride-hailing services are growing in popularity, especially in large cities or college towns where people don’t own a car or don’t want to designate a friend to stay sober and drive them home.

Uber and Mothers Against Drunk Driving conducted a report that showed ride

Base fare for Uber $1.50

additional charger per mile $.20

A ride from campus to Walmart requests across the country spike around midnight and 2 a.m., the time when most alcohol-related crash fatalities take place.

Furthermore, 78 percent of people said after Uber arrived in their city, their friends were less likely to drive after drinking, and 57 percent of ride-hail users said without Uber they would probably drive home more after drinking.

The company has come under fire recently after numerous drivers were accused of robbery, assault and rape.

Men in Philadelphia and Boston acting as Uber drivers have been charged with rape.

To prevent this, Uber provides each customer with a photo, vehicle make and model and license plate number for the driver who is going to pick them up. The company cautions riders to check that these match the person picking them up before getting in the car.

and several Ball State staff and faculty are helping develop a training curriculum.

Chris Roberts, superintendent of construction for the hotel, said the construction work will be done by Nov. 6.

He said he’s enjoyed working on the hotel because of the difference it will make for people with disabilities.

“Things just start coming together … It’s always exciting,” Roberts said. “The planning, hard work—it’s a beautiful thing. It’s a neat project to work on.

It’s not just a hotel. It’s gonna benefit people. It’s pretty rewarding.”

TAGLINE:

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Because the university prided themselves on the “Education Redefined” tagline for so long, Sparkman said it doesn’t make sense to take it away now. Rather than taking away the tagline completely, he said he thought it would be better to create a tagline that is “limitless.”

“I think [the tagline] is a good way to say what Ball State is and who Ball State is,” Sparkman said. “Almost every big brand today has some sort of tagline.”

Sparkman said the old tagline might have made people think twice about the standard of education at the school, whereas having no tagline could make it hard for outsiders to know what the school focuses on.

“I think if [the university] were to really sit down and be more innovative about it, they could create some kind of tagline that would be really limitless and really showcase Ball State as a whole,” he said.

Shaheen Borna, a marketing professor, said he doesn’t believe a tagline provides anything for a university in an academic environment anymore. There isn’t any evidence to show that it actually helps recruit students, he said.

CRASH:

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 Responding MPD officer Gary Vannatta said the driver was the only person in the vehicle at the time of the crash, but her vehicle was seen driving erratically moments before the crash occurred.

Vannatta said the car had heavy damage on the passenger side and front end, leading officers to suspect the vehicle was sliding sideways when it struck the liquor store. Vannatta said tire marks were visible

Borna said former President Jo Ann Gora spent more than $100,000 on the “Education Redefined” tagline.

“Why spend so much time and money for a tagline that serves no purpose?”

Borna said.

To market the new focus, Borna said the university has spent $4 million to implement entrepreneurial learning activities, but those activities don’t indicate the concept of entrepreneurship well, he said.

“A university cannot be entrepreneurial, it is an oxymoron,” Borna said. “We have certain money the government allocates that administration cannot risk. To spend the money on certain activities and just call them entrepreneurial seems to me to be a waste of money.”

The activities related to entrepreneurial learning were once identified as part of “Education Redefined,” so Borna said it would make sense just to keep them as they were before.

“My point is, these activities are not entrepreneurial-type activities, they are forcing the issue,” Borna said.

However, he said he agrees with Sparkman that there is no problem keeping the tagline as is, because it’s not doing any harm.

“Education is always in the process of redefinition,” Borna said. on the ground, confirming that the Jeep had struck the curb, causing the driver to lose control of the Jeep and spin into the building.

Five witnesses who were inside of the liquor store during the incident gave statements, confirming MPD reports.

Due to the driver’s high speed and her admission to drinking at Be Here Now, Vannatta said she is being charged with OWI: Endangering a person, OWI: Accident with serious injury and reckless driving for unreasonable high speed.

He’s on the fall watch list for the Rimington Award, which is given annually to the nation’s top center. He is also on the Vince Lombardi Award watch list for the top lineman in the country.

“The last four-and-a-half years around him, I can’t remember a bad day. I really can’t,” Lembo said.

“He just embodies every-

thing we want a player in our program to be. How he lives his life on the field and off the field.”

Richard, a fifth-year senior, has spent a lot of time in the Cardinals’ program. The man he blocks for, Darian Green, is just a sophomore. But Lembo said Green is well on his way to becoming a master as well.

“He’s a student of the game,” Lembo said. “He’s trying really hard to become the master of his craft. That’s why he’s having such a terrific year.”

Green has 57 carries for 402 yards and five total touchdowns this season.

He ranks eighth in the nation in yards per carry among players with at least 50 attempts.

Ball State’s backfield was a little cloudy coming into the season after the loss of all-time leading rusher Jahwan Edwards. But Green is on pace for over 1,200 rushing yards and 12 touchdowns for the season while sharing carries with freshman James Gilbert.

Lembo attributes Green’s success to his hard work and dedication.

But he also praises Green as a person. “[Green] is a tremendous person, first of all,” Lembo said. “The biggest part to

me is that he’s a tremendous person and that he shows up every day really focused and really determined to get better.”

Against a top defense in No. 17 Northwestern last week, Green and the Cardinals gained 181 rushing yards, the most the Wildcats have allowed this season.

Up next is the Toledo defense, which is allowing fewer than 100 rushing yards per game coming in.

Richard and Green, master and student of their respective crafts, will look to continue to carry an offense averaging 27.7 points per game with the potential to grow even more.

LINEBACKER RECEIVES MAC HONOR Ball State linebacker Ben Ingle has been named the Mid-American Conference West Division Co-Defensive Player of the Week following his performance against the No. 17 team in the country.

Ingle recorded a season-high 13 tackles, seven of which were solo-tackles, in the 24-19 loss at Northwestern. He also led the game in tackles for loss with two and finished with one pass breakup.

The Cardinals’ defense forced three turnovers in the first half against the Wildcats on Saturday, leading to a 10-7 halftime lead. Ball State head coach Pete Lembo called it a “gutsy” performance by his defense.

Lembo knows what Ingle pro-

vides for the Cardinals defense. “[Ingle] brings a lot to our defense in terms of focus and leadership. ... He practices hard every day, so there’s a lot [the] younger players can learn from him,” Lembo said.

Ingle is second on the team with 30 tackles this season.

The award marks the first time this season a Ball State football player has won a MAC weekly honor. Ingle shares the award with Toledo defensive tackle Orion Jones.

The Cardinals are set to face off against the 3-0 Toledo Rockets team, who currently ranks just outside the top 25.

Ball State will take on Toledo on Saturday at home.

‘THE INTERN’ GIVES LIGHT LOOK ON WORKPLACE CONFLICT ANNA BOWMAN FILM ANNALYSIS ANNA BOWMAN IS A SENIOR ENGLISH AND TELECOMMUNICATIONS MAJOR AND WRITES ‘FILM ANNALYSIS’ FOR THE DAILY NEWS. HER VIEWS DO NOT NECESSARILY AGREE WITH THOSE OF THE NEWSPAPER. WRITE TO ANNA AT AABOWMAN @BSU.EDU.

This high-fructose dose of Robert de Niro is an unexpectedly lovely way to spend a Sunday afternoon. Definitely not a blockbuster hit, “The Intern” offers a more understated and feel-good experience than movies like “Straight Outta Compton” or “Black Mass.”

Although it may not win any awards, “The Intern” is a movie that did just what it intended and provided 121 minutes of frivolous delight.

We’ve been seeing a transition in Robert de Niro for a while now – his slow ease from the mobster in “Goodfellas” to the crotchety father in “Meet the Fockers,” and finally to the retired softy that we see in “The Intern.” The question is, “Is he pulling it off?” Can we believe that James Conway

does tai chi in the park and is willing to deliver coffee as part of his job? I think so. If this role were given to someone like Clint Eastwood, it would be a different story.

As for Anne Hathaway, she does a great job at being herself. A self-sufficient woman with a solid work ethic, heart of gold and big laugh, she fits almost too perfectly into her role.

After seeing movies like “Interstellar” and “Les Misérables,” this film looks to be a step down from what we’ve come to expect from Hathaway.

The only real issue with casting is Anders Holm, the husband of Jules Ostin, who is played by Hathaway. It is evident that his resume includes mostly minor sitcom spots throughout his years of acting,

as that is most definitely his style. Overacting to the point of no return, Holm is the fatal flaw of “The Intern.”

The film is written by Nancy Meyers, the same woman responsible for “It’s Complicated,” “The Holiday,” and “The Parent Trap.” It is evident through her writing that she likes to focus on the family dynamic and what happens when something throws it off track.

So much so, that the conflict in this film feels forced. Everything in the movie is going swimmingly until, all of the sudden, there is a plot twist.

There is no warning sign and barely any motive for the struggle at all. It almost seems as though the conflict was tossed in as an afterthought – an “Oops! I knew I was forgetting

something!” add-on to the otherwise peaceful and perfectly pleasant plot.

Despite its lighthearted appeal, “The Intern” does deal with an issue that will affect this generation in particular: “What happens when I’m ‘too old’ to get a job?” Although most of us won’t have the luxury of retiring and doing a random internship just for fun, there is still some merit in what the film says about ageism in the workforce. Let’s face it, people are starting to live longer, so they’re going to have to work longer. “The Intern” shows what happens when an older person tries to work in today’s job force.

In addition to ageism, “The Intern” also deals with the ever-present and possibly over-

exposed problem of sexism in the workforce. Ostin is a founder of an up-and-coming online clothing website, and the film immediately draws attention to this “anomaly.” For example, in one of the first scenes between de Niro and Hathaway, he calls her “sir.” In another instance, she drunkenly rages about the inequality of men and women in a bar after work.

However sloppily it may present the idea, the film opens up yet another conversation about women not being taken seriously in a position of power.

If you’re in need of a little uplifting and don’t want to be bogged down by a heavy storyline, “The Intern” will be right up your alley – just don’t be surprised if you’re the only one in 75004 the audience under 70.
