Eric Patterson , a senior cornerback, posted this photo on Instagram with the caption, “Surgery went great I’ll be back n no time! Thanks to everyone who supported me thru this tough time.. Lift will be back #NFL2015 watch out.” Patterson broke his arm during the game against Northern Illinois on Wednesday at Scheumann Stadium.
T
wo people meet. They talk, they discover they have a lot in common. They start seeing each other more often. They discover they have feelings for each other that are more than friendship. They start to date. That’s the stereotypical story of how a relationship starts. But for Sam Kearney and Shannon Hines, it was different. They got into their relationship as a part of a project for the leadership and communication class, Cardinal Chemistry. The goal of the project was to see if they could make two people fall in love and find a genuine connection.

DAVID POLASKI CHIEF REPORTER @DavidPolaski
The defense for the Ball State football team has been dealt more than its fair share of injuries this season. At times, the Ball State defense has looked less like a defense and more like a MASH unit. So when defensive back Eric Patterson went down in the first quarter of the Cardinals’ game against Northern Illinois on Saturday, clutching his broken right arm, the only response from Ball State was its usual motto. Next man up, again. “When one person goes down, the next person has to step in and play to the caliber of the last person,” defensive back Tyree Holder said. “We don’t have Patterson in there now, but it still feels very normal.” Filling the void 2014 COMPARISON is Darius ConConaway away, who has Patterson rotated into the 9 Games started 0 secondary often 49 Total tackles 15 throughout the 1 Sacks 0 season.

Defensive backs and pass defense coordinator Shannon Morrison said although Conaway doesn’t always have his body in the right position, he’s a fighter who will force himself to make plays and become better.

Teachers College enrollment declines Dean says money, diminishing respect could cause decrease |
KARA BERG CHIEF REPORTER knberg2@bsu.edu
Student enrollment in the teacher education program has declined 25 percent, said the dean of Teachers College. The trend isn’t unique to Ball State. John Jacobson, the dean of Teachers College, said other Indiana schools like Indiana Uni-
versity and Purdue, as well as universities outside of the state, have seen dropping enrollment as well. In the 2009-2010 school year, 3,590 students were enrolled in Teachers College, according to data from Mark Lora, assessment systems analyst of Teachers College. This school year, there are 1,326 students enrolled. Since Ball State was originally a college for teachers, Jacobson said the dropping enrollment would also have an effect on the university as a whole. “The Teachers College was the
first college, and therefore the roots of Ball State are very deep in teacher preparation,” he said. Some of the falling numbers could just be attributed to the changing times. “There are lots of options for young people to go into now,” he said. “It used to be, when I was growing up, that women in the workplace [were] mainly nursing, education, secretarial, that sort of thing. And now all the professions are open to women, but that means that there are [fewer] going into education.”
