NONTRADITIONAL PATHS BECOMING COMMON About one-fourth of college students take a break, are part time SAM HOYT CHIEF REPORTER | sthoyt@bsu.edu Universities are seeing more students stray from a traditional path after high school of immediately attending college in a continuous, full-time time period.

Roughly one in four male and one in five female students either take college classes part-time or take a

break from college before resuming, according to a 2010 study published in American Educational Research Journal, “Male and Female Pathways through Four-Year Colleges: Disruption and Sex Stratification in Higher Education.” These numbers also do not account for students who take time off before beginning college at all.

David Chalfant, an academic adviser and adult focus adviser, works with students who take time off before entering college.

Chalfant said the numbers of students taking nontraditional paths might seem higher than people

would expect, but they aren’t overly concerning.

“Staying out a year, maybe making some money, getting your financial situation in better condition, thinking more about what you’d like to major in and do with your career might not be such a bad choice,” he said. “The hope is that they don’t deviate from the path of still going to college.”

Jennifer Feick, a senior telecommunications major, took some time off from school after transferring to Ball State from Butler University.

Criticism follows Pence’s posts on Facebook for gay marriage ban | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS — A social media war over the U.S. Supreme Court’s rulings on gay marriage this week showed Gov. Mike Pence is still learning that being the state’s top executive often means dealing with surprises — a sharp contrast from the role he previously played MIKE PENCE in Congress, where 435 law- Indiana makers frequently respond to governor specific problems.

Pence’s Facebook post supporting a constitutional ban on gay marriage in Indiana drew fire after dozens of commenters said their criticism was being censored. Pence and his staff said they were only deleting comments that were derogatory, but angry commenters provided evidence it was more than that being deleted.

By the end of the week, a gay marriage supporter, Andy Markle of Indianapolis, had created a website where other supporters could post there scrubbed comments and dubbed the political phenomena “Pencership.”

“On careful review, it appears that this was not always the case and some comments were being deleted simply because they expressed disagreement with my position. I regret that this occurred and sincerely apologize to all those who were affected,” Pence wrote in a Facebook post Friday to the same page that became a surprise battleground.

Had he still been in Congress, it’s unlikely his team’s actions would have garnered as much attention. But as the focus of Indiana politics, the Pence staff ’s errors on Wednesday stretched into a days-long fight ending with an apology from the governor and the creation of the smarmy new term.

Pence’s sharp comments and stark conservatism were on display throughout his dozen years as one of 435 U.S. representatives in Congress, but were muted as he ran for governor and ultimately took over the office from former Gov. Mitch Daniels at the start of this year.

Nicholson will join the Sun Devils, a perennial competitor in the Women’s College World Series, with high expectations.

“It’s a great opportunity,” Nicholson said. “To take over a program that is already in a great spot and is nationally recognized and those kind of things. It’s exciting to be able to go somewhere that you can kind of keep being successful instead of trying to build success.”

The challenge of rebuilding is one that Nicholson faced with Ball State.

He took over as the Cardinals’ head coach in 2006. The team went 22-34 that year, the first and only time they would finish below .500 under his leadership.

Justice denies Proposition 8 appeal Appeals court acted about 3 weeks too soon, opponents say | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS SAN FRANCISCO — Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy on Sunday denied a last-ditch request from the sponsors of California’s now-overturned gay marriage ban to halt the issuance of same-sex marriage licenses in the nation’s most populous state.

Kennedy turned away the appeal with no additional comment just as San Francisco’s gay pride parade was getting underway in San Francisco, where dozens of couples have gotten married since Friday and where the clerk’s office was expected to issue more licenses on Sunday.

Same-sex marriage opponents asked Kennedy to step in on Saturday, a day after the federal appeals court in San Francisco allowed same-sex marriages to go forward.

The opponents said the appeals court had acted about three weeks too soon when it cleared the way Friday for same-sex marriages to be legal in California for the first time in 4 ½ years by lifting a hold it had imposed on such unions while a lawsuit challenging Proposition 8 made its way to and through the high court.

Under Supreme Court rules, the losing side in a legal dispute has 25 days to request a rehearing. While such requests are almost never granted, the high court said that it wouldn’t finalize its judgment in the case at least until after that waiting period elapsed.

The Supreme Court ruled Proposition 8’s backers lacked standing after California’s governor and attorney general declined to defend the ban.

Same-sex marriage opponents asked Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy to step in to halt the issuance of same-sex marriage licenses.

The 9th Circuit removed its hold, directing state officials to stop enforcing the ban on gay marriage.

Proposition 8 supporters could continue their efforts to halt gay marriage by filing their request with another Supreme Court justice. They also have another 21 days to seek a rehearing before the high court.

The Supreme Court ruled on Wednesday that Proposition 8’s backers lacked standing to defend the 2008 law because California’s governor and attorney general have declined to defend the ban.

Kennedy denies the request to ban same-sex marriage in California.

Then on Friday, the 9th Circuit appeared to have removed the last obstacle to making samesex matrimony legal again in California when it removed its hold on a lower court’s 2010 order directing state officials to stop enforcing the ban.

Within hours, same-sex couples were seeking marriage licenses. The two couples who sued to overturn Proposition 8 were wed in San Francisco and Los Angeles Friday.

Of course, that aired a few days before the gay marriage battle swamped state news for half a week.

Folk singer to play at Be Here Now Kansas native will perform her album, ‘Indigo’ during tour JORDAN HUFFER PHOTO EDITOR | photo@bsudailynews.com Folk musician Shantel Leitner will be in Muncie this week while on a cross-country tour supporting her new album, “Indigo.” She will be performing at Be Here Now at 8 p.m. Tuesday. This will be the Kansas native’s first time playing in Indiana.

“The venue liked the album and wanted us there,” Leitner said.

Her music is a style that mixes both soul and folk genres.

“It’s a good unique blend,” she said. “It’s very interesting.”

Leitner’s performance will be longer than most, since she is commuting from Marion, Ind. Instead of the 15 minutes most artists receive, touring guests can play a 30-minute set.

Be Here Now is expecting about the same crowd that they usually have for their open mic night on the evening that Leitner performs.

An album review by examiner.com writer Michael Rickert described her album “as a flowing easy listening piece” that is both reminiscent of Fiest and Norah Jones in term of vocals.

Leitner said she looked up to her family while developing

Free for all ages her own musical style, since her grandfather, aunt and mother were all musicians.

Leitner herself has been playing music for “quite a long time.”

For the rest of her tour, Leitner will stop in 27 cities

over the course of a month.

While many musicians will have time to prepare before a show, because of her schedule Leitner does not have such a luxury.

“Being on the road doesn’t allow for me to have much of a preshow ritual,” she said. “I always make a point to scope out the venue though... it helps to have the smallest understanding of your listeners in order to give a good show.”

As for the future, Leitner said she hardly has time to think about what she will do.

“I have a lot of projects going on right now... because of that I try not to think about the future but just focus on what I’m doing in the present,” she said.

DRUMROLL, PLEASE

International Drum Corps show earns standing ovation

|

SAFARALI SAYDSHOEV AND JORDAN HUFFER news@bsudailynews.com

A 45-minute severe weather delay did not dampen the spirits of several hundred people who turned up to watch the Drum Corp International Tour on Friday evening.

This was the third time they have been in Muncie, and the crowd was not disappointed.

Nearly every performance ended with a standing ovation.

The event coincided with the weeklong Music For All Summer Symposium that brought thousands of high school musicians to the Ball State campus.

Many of these students attended the event.

“We came to Muncie with seven of the finest groups in the United States that tour over eight weeks.” said Dan Acheson, the Executive Director and CEO of the Drum Corp International. “We are strategic partners with Music For All and this is one of many reasons why we come to Muncie.”

The lineup included the Troopers from Casper, Wyo., The Colts from Dubuque,

Iowa, the Blue Stars from La Crosse, Wis., the Spirit of Atlanta from Atlanta, the Crossment from San Antonio, the Madison Scouts from Madison, Wis., and the Cavaliers from Rosemont, Ill. Each group is made up of 150 members and the average age is 19. The majority of the participants are male college students who are seeking an education in music. Most of these groups will appear in 30 different cities and travel about 15,000 miles.

About 8,500 student musicians from all over the country audition to be participants in these musical groups and get the chance to tour. Fewer than 3,500 positions are open for all the groups.

“We not only have students from the states but also from out of the country such as Japan and the Netherlands,” Acheson said. “All the students that will perform are really talented.”

The audition process is just the beginning of the commitment that these musicians take on when they join.

“We go through a series of winter and spring trainings,” Acheson said. “By the time they get into The Cavaliers, for instance, they are really good at what they do.”

He said the stop at Ball State is something that the DCI has grown to looking forward to.

DN PHOTO JORDAN HUFFER

The Cavaliers’ color guard performs during the group’s finale on Friday. The Cavaliers were one of two all-male groups that performed that night.

“[It’s] one of those situations that we started growing the audience,” Acheson said. “Muncie became one of the popular stops on our tour for the fans as well as for the competitors from Music For All Summer Symposium every summer.”

Elliot Borg is a student at VanderCook College of Music in Illinois and is a part of The Cavaliers, a nationally award winning drum corps.

“It’s my first year being a part of the DCI and it’s going great,” he said. “I love to be a part of such a great wellknown drum corp.”

The Cavaliers were set to perform last, but before they could take the field the stadium had to be evacuated due to an incoming storm.

It took almost 45 minutes for the storm to clear, and after a short warm up the final musical group could perform.

The Cavaliers had spent the week in Muncie working with the Music for All Marching band. As an encore, they performed with Music for All students, which drew a standing ovation.

PIXAR’S NEW FILM PROVES VIBRANT BUT LACKLUSTER “Monsters University” adds a colorful new film to the canon, but one that lacks the punch of a Pixar movie.

After waiting for 12 years to see this movie, and with the success of “Toy Story 3,” I had high hopes.

As a college student, it felt like “Monsters University” could bring out some more adult lessons in a children’s movie that are immediately applicable.

But prequels, just like sequels, can be hard.

With a run time of 103 minutes, I found myself wanting more out of the film but not necessarily time. Where was the true charm? It lacked the originality expected with a Pixar film.

“Monsters University” had most of the right ingredients, though.

True to form, there were many humorous scenes. The scene where Ms. Squibbles — the sweet mother of Squishy and No. 1 fan of the Oozma Kappas — jams out to death metal in her car is certainly one of them.

We also get insight on why Randall holds such a grudge against Mike and Sully. When we first meet “Randy,” he wears circular purple glasses until Mike suggests he takes them off and in an instant, we see him transform to the angry looking, squinty-eyed Randall of “Monsters, Inc.” But when it came to being emotionally invested in the film, when I was searching for that moment where everything falls apart and it feels like Pixar’s one true goal in life is to make you sob at a children’s movie, it came up short.

That’s not to say that the film didn’t have a lesson; however, it was the slightly tired one of learning to work with others and getting along.

The conflict that the film missed out on truly exploring was the bubbling tension between Mike’s study hard personality and Sully’s natural talent coupled with a family name.

While the two are hiding from humans in the woods, Mike finally addresses the situation after Sully tries comforting him for his lack of scariness and says he knows how Mike feels.

“Don’t do that, please don’t do that,” Mike shouts.

“You do not know how I feel.”

Right there, Pixar hits it. This is not Mike hosting a pity party. His whole life, he had studied hard to get where he was to find out that there are some things you can’t be taught and definitely not in a book. He sees Sully as a monster with the look and raw talent to scare with the Sullivan family name that allowed him to coast through life. Mike can’t achieve that.

It shows that passion isn’t always enough.

With the end result getting Mike to Monsters, Inc., through a much longer path, it shows that perhaps he wasn’t truly failing. It just took a different route.

But after that instant, it seems like it snaps back to the line of “work with each other despite differences.” This is an important lesson but one that made for a too calculable storyline that lacked any risks.

Still, it was visually stunning — a vast improvement from 12 years ago — and had a witty script.

It gives us a vibrant view of their world before “Monsters, Inc.” If your heart didn’t melt after seeing a young Mike with braces and an oversized Monsters University hat fresh out of witnessing his first scare, I don’t trust you.

If one were to judge it without the standards expected of Pixar, maybe there wouldn’t be as much disappointment.

However, it’s true that most mediocre Pixar films are better than other movies. For fans of “Monsters, Inc.,” it’s worth seeing.

But don’t be surprised if you leave the theaters feeling a little empty — and not in that “I just cried my eyes out so I have no more within me” way.

Demonstrators in Berlin protest against the data gathering by the United States and the NSA. Many European officials have expressed concern over the recent surfacing of United States surveillance tactics.

European officials slam US over bugging EU offices Snowden remains unable to move from airport in Moscow | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS BERLIN — Senior European officials expressed concern Sunday at reports that U.S. intelligence agents bugged EU offices on both sides of the Atlantic, with some leftist lawmakers calling for concrete sanctions against Washington.

The president of the European Parliament, Martin Schulz, said he was “deeply worried and shocked about the allegations of U.S. authorities spying on EU offices” made in a report published Sunday by German news weekly Der Spiegel.

The magazine said the surveillance was carried out by the U.S. National Security Agency, which has recently been the subject of leaks claiming it scanned vast amounts of foreign Internet traffic. The U.S. government has defended its efforts to intercept electronic communications overseas by arguing that this has helped prevent terror attacks at home and abroad.

Schulz said if the allegations that the NSA bugged European Union offices were confirmed “it would be an extremely serious matter which will have a severe impact on EU-US relations.”

Green Party leaders in the European Parliament, Rebecca

Harms and Daniel Cohn-Bendit, called for an immediate investigation into the claims and suggested that recently launched negotiations on a trans-Atlantic trade treaty should be put on hold.

They also called for existing U.S.-EU agreements on the exchange of bank transfer and passenger record information to be canceled. Both programs have been labeled as unwarranted infringements of citizens’ privacy by leftwing and libertarian lawmakers in Europe.

In Germany, where criticism of the NSA’s surveillance programs has been particularly vocal, a senior government official accused the United States on Sunday of using Cold War methods against its allies by targeting EU offices in Washington, New York and Brussels.

“If the media reports are accurate, then this recalls the methods used by enemies during the Cold War,” German Justice Minister Sabine Leutheusser – Schnarrenberger.

“It is beyond comprehension that our friends in the United States see Europeans as enemies.”

Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger called for an “immediate and comprehensive” response from the U.S. government to the claims in the Spiegel report, which cited classified U.S. documents taken by former NSA contractor Edward Snowden that the magazine said it had partly seen.

WHERE IN THE WORLD IS SNOWDEN? Edward Snowden is “under the care of the Russian authorities” and can’t leave Moscow’s international airport without their consent, Ecuadorean President Rafael Correa told The Associated Press Sunday in an interview telegraphing the slim and diminishing possibility that the National Security Agency leaker will end up in Ecuador.

Spokespeople for the NSA and the office for the national intelligence director in Washington did not immediately respond to requests for comment Sunday.

According to Der Spiegel, the NSA planted bugs in the EU’s diplomatic offices in Washington and infiltrated the building’s computer network. Similar measures were taken at the EU’s mission to the United Nations in New York, the magazine said.

Der Spiegel didn’t publish the alleged NSA documents it cited nor say how it obtained access to them. But one of the report’s authors is Laura Poitras, an award-winning documentary filmmaker who interviewed Snowden while he was holed up in Hong Kong.

The U.S. has been trying to track down Snowden, who is believed to currently be at Moscow’s main airport with plans to travel to Ecuador to seek asylum.

The magazine also didn’t specify how it learned of the

“This is the decision of Russian authorities,” Correa said. “He doesn’t have a passport. I don’t know the Russian laws, I don’t know if he can leave the airport, but I understand that he can’t.

NSA’s alleged eavesdropping efforts at a key EU office in Brussels. There, the NSA used secure facilities at NATO headquarters nearby to dial into telephone maintenance systems that would have allowed it to intercept senior EU officials’ calls and Internet traffic, the Spiegel report said.

Also Sunday, German federal prosecutors said they were examining whether the reported U.S. electronic surveillance programs broke German laws. In a statement, the Federal Prosecutors’ Office said it was probing the claims so as to “achieve a reliable factual basis” before considering whether a formal investigation was warranted.

It said private citizens were likely to file criminal complaints on the matter, but didn’t comment on the possible legal merits of such complaints.

Der Spiegel reported that at least one such complaint was lodged with prosecutors in the state of Hesse last week.

“When I came to [Ball State’s] program I realized that even though Butler’s program was great, it was still steps behind Ball State’s,” she said.

Feick left school in order to work beginning in 2009.

She spent four years employed with an immersion program at Newslink Indiana and with multiple nonprofits, including Mental Health America, where she was the executive director for three years at the Delaware County branch.

Feick was named one of M Magazine’s Top 20 Under 40 this year, a title awarded to Muncie residents younger than 40 who show commitment to the community.

After figuring out her finances, Feick returned to Ball State in 2012, and she will soon graduate, finishing what she called several years of senioritis.

Since coming back, Feick said her professors have been a large part of her support system.

“Professors have always stood by me even in my weakest and my most successful times,” she said. “That right there is just phenomenal.”

Feick said her best advice for someone else in her situation is to not give up.

“When you give up and you become complacent, that degree is so much farther out of reach instead of taking it one class at a time, one day at a time,” she said. “When days are tough and you’re feeling overwhelmed and you’re wearing a baseball cap because you’ve been up all night and if you just don’t know who to go to, go to that professor who will look at you and say, ‘Okay, come on.

Let’s get moving, get your head out of your ass.’”

Some of her biggest supporters have been telecommunications instructors, Phil Bremen, Terry Heifetz and Mike Spillman. She said she received more help from within her department than the university in general.

Chalfant said some of the positives of delaying college include taking pressure off and building up finances, but students do have the downside of not entering the job market as soon. He said Ball State basically treats nontraditional students the same as any other students, and is unsure of how many there are at Ball State.

Gloria Pavlik, a retention and graduation specialist, said the university is working on plans to better accommodate nontraditional students because anything is better than no degree at all.

DIVERSITY PROVOST BEGINS DUTIES Ball State’s new associate provost for diversity and director of the Office of Institutional Diversity takes over today after being announced last week.

Charlene Alexander, professor of counseling psychology and guidance services, will oversee diversity related missions, activities and act as a spokesperson for diversity.

“I have a clear understanding that our faculty are our greatest asset, and finding ways to develop a supportive environment for our faculty will be a primary goal,” Alexander said in a news release. “Further, the efforts of the associate provost for diversity will be in line with the university’s strategic goals, specifically to reflect the diverse and interconnected world in which we live.”

Alexander has been at Ball State for 16 years and has directed the counseling program since 1999.

She is replacing Charles Payne, professor of secondary education, who retired this summer after about 40 years at Ball State.

“Charlene’s commitment and tremendous service to Ball State coupled with her very impressive academic credentials are a great asset for us in having her in this position,” said Provost Terry King in a news release. “We look forward to welcoming her to this position.”

AP|BRIEF

PROFESSOR WARNS 4-H OF PIG VIRUS WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (AP) — A Purdue University professor of veterinary medicine said Indiana 4-H members showing swine at fairs this summer should take steps to reduce the chance of exposing their animals to a viral disease deadly to young pigs.

The illness, porcine epidemic diarrhea, is spread by pigs eating contaminated feces or bedding, or transferred by objects such as livestock trailers, equipment, feed, and clothing and boots.

Health officials said it poses no health threat to the public or other animals and there is no risk to food safety.

The Indiana Board of Animal Health issued disease management recommendations for exhibitors. There have been at least nine confirmed cases of PEDV in Indiana.

New Medicaid ruling could cost Ind. hospitals millions Pence looks to get federal approval for Healthy Indiana Plan | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS EVANSVILLE, Ind. — It probably sounded like a good tradeoff at the time: Hospitals would give up $155 billion in Medicare and other government payments to help provide more money for a Medicaid coverage expansion that begins in January.

But subsequent events have put the deal in doubt in Indiana.

Hospitals could be left with nothing to show for the payment reductions, which began with the Affordable Care Act in 2010, if the federal government doesn’t accept Gov. Mike Pence’s idea for administering the Medicaid coverage expansion.

The hospital losses are not chump change: Deaconess Health System in Evansville reports losing more than $3.8 million since 2010. St. Mary’s Health System reported the information wasn’t available. The payment reductions will escalate next year and continue through 2020.

Hospitals statewide also expect to lose more than $100 million annually when Medicaid Disproportionate Share Hospital

funding cuts included in the Affordable Care Act fully phase in later this decade, the Evansville Courier & Press reported. The state’s DSH allotments — more than $214 million annually — are intended to cover the costs of care to low-income patients that are not paid by Medicare, Medicaid, the Children’s Health Insurance Program or other health insurance.

Meanwhile, Indiana hospitals have received no commensurate offsetting benefit of new Medicaid and health insurance exchange patients — and they won’t until this January at the earliest, assuming the federal government says yes to Pence.

If the question remains unresolved, there will be no Medicaid expansion in Indiana — and hospitals in the state will continue to lose government payments without offsetting Medicaid expansion funds — until it is resolved.

This wasn’t what Congress envisioned when it passed the Affordable Care Act in 2010.

Although the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the health care law in 2012, it also ruled that Congress exceeded its constitutional authority by trying to pressure states into participating in the Medicaid coverage expansion with threats to eliminate other

STATE’S HEALTHY INDIANA PLAN • State-developed

• Requires participants to contribute up to 5 percent of their personal income to a health savings account.

• Accounts are also partially funded by the state.

• When a savings account runs out, a more traditional insurance program begins.

• Gov. Pence is asking the federal government for a waiver to expand the plan.

• If expanded, could use federal Medicaid funding to help the more than 406,000 uninsured, eligible Hoosiers.

Medicaid funding. That gave states the right to make their own decisions about participating in the expansion.

Pence, a Republican, is leery of expanding Medicaid coverage through the traditional, fully government-funded program.

He is asking the federal government for a waiver to expand the state-developed Healthy Indiana Plan as the vehicle to cover the 406,000-plus uninsured but newly eligible Hoosiers who could qualify — and use federal Medicaid funding to pay for it.

Unlike traditional Medicaid, the Healthy Indiana Plan requires participants to contribute

up to 5 percent of their personal income to a health savings account, which is also partially funded by the state. Only after that savings account is exhausted does a more traditional health insurance program kick in.

Getting a Medicaid coverage expansion is a major legislative priority for the Indiana Hospital Association. The Indianapolis-based nonprofit professional trade association has been lobbying for an expansion either through traditional Medicaid or what Pence is pursuing.

The hospital association commissioned a study estimating that a Medicaid expansion would create more than 30,000 jobs through 2020 and draw nearly $10.5 billion in total federal funding to the state. The state’s share of the cost would be $503 million through 2020.

The expansion would bring short-term benefits to hospitals.

It would mean a higher federal matching rate, for one thing. The proportion of newly eligible individuals’ coverage costs paid by the federal government would be 100 percent in the first three years after the expansion. Federal financial support would decrease as the rate declined to 90 percent in 2020, with the state paying 10 percent.

With the new insured patients,

hospitals also presumably would have less bad debt and would provide less charity care.

U.S. Rep. Larry Bucshon acknowledges Indiana hospitals would get generous federal funding with a traditional Medicaid expansion, but he is not so sure the numbers add up to their advantage in the end. Bucshon, a former heart surgeon, said states should have the flexibility to design programs like the Healthy Indiana Plan to help manage their Medicaid dollars.

The Republican congressman has one major objection — one that speaks to his long-standing opposition to Democratic President Barack Obama and the Affordable Care Act, which Bucshon has voted several times to repeal. He points to the planned reduction of the federal matching rate to 90 percent in 2020, calling it a precursor of a larger disengagement to come.

“The concern is that over time, because of budgetary reasons, the federal government would retract its support for the (traditional) Medicaid expansion and the state is going to be left holding the bag for the extra money,” Bucshon said. “In my opinion, they would.”

Pence’s administration submitted an application to the U.S. Department of Health and Human

Gymnastics coach to leave Ball State, join Utah State Nadalie Walsh takes head coaching job with USU Aggies

in can just continue on with the success and progress that we’ve been able to have here.”

Walsh’s experience with Ball State will benefit her moving forward. She is set to take over a struggling Utah State team.

Despite a rich history in gymnastics, Walsh said the Aggies have plenty of room for improvement.

“Maybe eight years ago, they were always at Regionals,” she said. “They have been to nationals in the past as well, so I feel like there is a lot of promise at that

school to make that program to be one of the top in the league.

Maybe not right away, but it has certainly shown that it could be.

“As a coach I am excited to be able to go in there and do my best to make that program a lot better than it is right now.”

That is what Walsh accomplished with the Cardinals, and she feels that her “baby” can continue to grow in her absence.

NBA DRAFT BRINGING COACH, FORMER PLAYER CLOSER Pacers’ selection played for men’s basketball coach

|

DAKOTA CRAWFORD SPORTS EDITOR @DakotaCrawford_

A deep field of talent, with little in the way of superstarlevel players, left many wondering how last Thursday’s NBA Draft would play out.

Ball State men’s basketball coach James Whitford didn’t expect to see any of his former players taken in the first round. He was excited when Solomon Hill of Arizona was drafted not only in the first round, but by the Indiana Pacers with the 23rd overall pick.

“It wasn’t a sure thing if it was going to be a first-round pick, so I was so happy for him,” Whitford said. “It was a really great moment, and I’m very proud of him.”

The 6-foot-7-inch forward was a Wildcat for the entirety of his career. Whitford spent the last four years alongside Solomon, most recently, two as associate head coach.

Whitford spoke highly of Hill’s maturity, and said he had already given his former player all the advice he needs to be successful in the NBA. “To Solomon’s credit, he’s got it pretty much figured out,” he said. “I think he’s going to be set. Just keep doing what he’s been doing, that’s what I would tell him.”

Though Whitford feels Solomon is well-prepared, the line of communication between the two will be stronger now that he is headed to Indiana.

“No question about it,” Whitford said about the two staying in touch. “We did anyways, and I’m confident we would’ve under any circumstances, but this sure is going to make it easier. I’m thrilled to have him close, and couldn’t be more proud of everything he’s accomplished. He got what he earned.”

Nadalie Walsh is parting ways with the Ball State gymnastics team. She was named Utah State’s head gymnastics coach on Friday.

In six seasons as Ball State’s head coach, Walsh has seen the program make a huge turnaround.

“I feel like I’m leaving my baby,” Walsh said. “This is a place where everything has been built from the ground up. We got a new facility and my athletes are very talented and very capable, so it’s bittersweet.”

In 2008, one year after Walsh’s hire, the team’s average score was 189.292. By 2010 that number had reached 191.91, and last season the team averaged 193.108.

Walsh also guided Ball State to its highest team Regional Qualifying Score in school history last season. The team set school records for both team vault score and highest individual floor score as well.

Walsh said while the move is exciting, it’s still going to be difficult for her.

“It is very hard,” Walsh said. “I feel like it took every single bit of me to make Ball State what it is now. I’m really pleased to be able to leave it in a position where the next person coming

Though Hill only marginally improved in pointsper-game from his junior to senior year, his work off the court never slowed.

“He’s a great competitor,” Whitford said. “There wasn’t one day he left practice that I didn’t feel like Solomon brought his all. Because of that, that’s why he’s improved so much in the last four years, and that’s why he’s going to continue to get better. You haven’t seen the best of Solomon; the best is yet to come.”

With Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal long gone, and Maria Sharapova out, too, after a havoc-filled Week 1 at the All England Club, Week 2 begins Monday with a schedule that includes participants such as Kenny de Schepper and Adrian Mannarino, Ivan Dodig and Jerzy Janowicz, Karin Knapp and Monica Puig.

Djokovic likes the idea of some players getting a chance to introduce themselves to a wider audience.

“It’s interesting ... to see new faces — for the crowd, for [the] tennis world, in general,” said Djokovic, who might not feel quite the same way if he were among the 11 men and women seeded in the top 10 who no longer are playing.

Over a shorter stretch, it’s also always been Djokovic, who meets 35-year-old Tommy Haas on Monday.

Djokovic has played in 16 consecutive Grand Slam quarterfinals — the longest active streak, now that Federer’s 36-major run is done. At the past 10 Slams,

Djokovic has reached the semifinals every time, picking up five trophies and three runner-up finishes.

Nothing is guaranteed right now, though.

“Second week of a Grand Slam is a new start, especially here, where you have [time] off,” said 15thseeded Marion Bartoli, the 2007 Wimbledon runnerup who faces the 104thranked Knapp, an Italian making her first appearance in a major’s fourth round. “It’s really a new tournament starting.”

Five of the remaining 16 men are making their fourthround Wimbledon debuts; only one in that group has ever been that far elsewhere.

Six never have reached a Grand Slam quarterfinal: de Schepper, Dodig, Janowicz, Lukasz Kubot, Mannarino, and Andreas Seppi. Perhaps not coincidentally, each of those relatively unknown half-dozen players benefited from at least one of the record-tying 13 walkovers or mid-match retirements from injury or illness so far.

Four of the 16 women left are hoping to reach a major quarterfinal for the first time: Robson, Knapp, 19-year-old Monica Puig of Puerto Rico, and 20thseeded Kirsten Flipkens of Belgium.

I love my players and that’s what makes it hard to leave — the people and the relationships you’ve been able to build over the years.”

As he leaves the familiar faces of Ball State behind, Nicholson will find himself trying to learn those of Arizona’s talented roster.

The Sun Devils will return 11 upperclassmen next season, all of which Nicholson will look to for help in leadership.

“I think there are some challenges,” he said. “Just not knowing the kids, and kind of going in blind, but I think it’s one of those things you can overcome. You’ve got some people that have been there, so I think we’ll be in a good spot. We’ll just have to get everybody on the same page pretty quickly,

and we’ll be in a good situation.”

The well-established program has seen just three head coaches in its 47-season history.

Each of those coaches finished their career with at least 400 wins. Clint Myers, who recently left the program to join Auburn, owns an .804 winning percentage — the best in program history.

As Nicholson moves forward in his career, he is thankful for those who helped him in his time with Ball State.

“I really want to thank Bill Scholl and President [Jo Ann] Gora for their support,” he said.

“I feel like we did a lot to build that program but Tom [Collins] and Bill [Scholl] and Dr. Gora were a big part of being able to get to the point that the program is at now.”
