T
he Ball State football team lost its fifth straight game, falling to Western Michigan 42-38 on Saturday, but new starting quarterback Jack Milas seemed to bring a different dimension to the offense. “We threw the ball better today than we have all year,” Ball State head coach Pete Lembo said. “[Milas] did a really nice job.” Playing in his first collegiate game after replacing former starter Ozzie Mann, Milas

looked comfortable in the pocket from the start. On the second drive of the game, he connected with wide receiver Jordan Williams for a 32-yard touchdown. The Cardinals’ third and fourth drives finished in similar fashion, with Milas throwing touchdown passes to Williams and tight end Dylan Curry. At halftime, Milas had already thrown four touchdowns and Ball State held a 31-14 lead. See FOOTBALL, page 4
Trustees enact new changes Board votes to endorse new faculty academy, health sciences college ALAN HOVORKA CHIEF REPORTER | afhovorka@bsu.edu Ball State can expect a few changes soon, following the university’s Board of Trustees meeting Friday. Starting next year, new contract faculty will be required to attend a faculty academy, as well as the current general orientation in place now. The requirement aims to teach incoming employees effective ways to communicate with their stu-
dents, said Terry King, provost and vice president for student affairs. “Many of our faculty members come in as experts in their field, but they come in not knowing how to be a teacher,” King said. “The best programs in the country, like Northwestern and Princeton, have this.” Contracted faculty members are those who work under contract with the university for a designated term, typically one year, at which point the faculty are under review for contract renewal. The new training program follows a recently passed set of teaching requirements from the Indiana State Board of Education. The requirements allow anyone

with a bachelor’s degree in a related field to obtain an alternative license to teach after passing a test. The Board also approved to add “Honoratus” as an additional academic title for retired contract faculty members to complement the new plan allowing for their retirement. Trustees endorsed the academic master plan, which includes the creation of an eighth academic college. King said plans to create a College of Health Sciences and Professions will be completed by the end of the semester. The new college is estimated open in 2016.

Most subjects were given summons instead of being hauled off to jail for illegal possession or consumption of alcoholic beverages, according to a press release. Other charges included false informing, or lying to a police officer about age, public intoxication and resisting arrest. Jacob Wagner, 19, Muncie, was arrested after he ran from officers at tailgate. He was charged with illegal possession, public intoxication and resisting law enforcement, according to the release. Wagner’s blood alcohol level was .208 percent when he was booked at the Delaware County Jail. One 17-year-old was taken to Indiana University Ball Memorial Hospital because he had a blood alcohol level of .224 percent. The teen is accused of fleeing from officers after they saw him holding a beer on the 900 block of North New York Street. He was stopped after he ran into a tree behind the Beacon Hill Apartments. The teen was eventually released to a legal guardian. -STAFF REPORTS
