orget thinking outside of the box — think outside of the bottle.

Boxed Water has made its way into almost every dining hall on campus. As a more earthconscious choice to bottled water, it has been well-received, according to dining.

The battle between Boxed Water, bottled water and tap water, however, still continues.

According to BoxedWaterIsBetter.com, the company started with a simple idea of creating a brand of bottled water that is less harmful and can support the environment rather than damage it.

John Pichtel, a Ball State natural resources and environmental management professor, said Boxed Water is a more eco-friendly route to take. He said it is able to save energy and give off less greenhouse gas omissions in the process of manufacturing the containers.

2. MOSTLY CLOUDY

Seeing members of the Ball State men’s basketball program walk off a court with their heads buried in their chest has become the usual sighting for the 4-19 Cardinals.

When Ball State head coach James Whitford exited Worthen Arena’s media room, there was an audible slapping sound against the brick wall and a clear moan echoing in the stairwell leading to the Cardinals locker room.

It described the 66-64 loss to Bowling Green Saturday afternoon where Ball State led 64-61 with 1:20 left in the game. The Cardinals now sit at 2-6 in games decided by 10 points and 1-14 in games where they trail at half time.

The Cardinals trailed the Falcons 36-32 going into intermission on Saturday, but Whitford took the majority of the blame for how he handled the pressure.

Reasons for HJR-3 votes often unknown Only 1 state senator has spoken publicaly during public debates | THE ASSOCIATED PRESS INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Over the past week, Indiana’s senators debated a proposed constitutional ban on gay marriage, going over the merits for hours at a time, before deciding a ban shouldn’t appear on the ballot in November. But their reasoning remains largely a mystery to the public, which heard from

only one senator during public deliberations.

The gay marriage fight has illuminated one of the less-reported aspects of Indiana’s General Assembly: debate on the toughest of issues often happens in private caucus meetings of state lawmakers, with much left unsaid in public.

The Senate’s decision to not debate the issue publicly — only Senate Minority Leader Tim Lanane, D-Anderson, spoke publicly — leaves a cloak of secrecy that only makes residents more wary of politicians, said Micah Clark, executive director

of the American Family Association of Indiana, which fought to get the ban placed on the ballot in November.

“I think it makes people more cynical of politics,” Clark said.

Supporters of the ban, House Joint Resolution 3, often felt like they were outgunned from the start, despite promises from legislative leaders that the vote would go their way as it had in 2011. Indiana law requires constitutional amendments to

pass two consecutive biennial sessions of the Legislature before being placed on a ballot.

Clark said the public was left on the sidelines this year as major campaign donors and businesses supporting Freedom Indiana, the umbrella group that successfully blocked the ban this year, claimed most of the spotlight.

“I think that further disenfranchises people and makes them think this is nothing but

While there is no required GPA to join a sorority, rushes are recommended to have a GPA of 2.5 or higher.

Panhellenic Council took the lead within the Greek organizations. The average Ball State female student had a 3.016 GPA compared to the average PHC student’s 3.131 GPA. Danica Craig, president of Panhellenic Council, is never surprised at this news, but she is “always impressed.”

There is a rivalry among the sororities for the top academic spots because they know only a few points separate the groups, and Craig said the competition is healthy for the women. Members of Alpha Chi Omega sorority at Ball State have the highest grades within

FEMALE GPA’S

the Panhellenic Council.

Craig said academics are an integral part of the core values of Panhellenic Council. It is emphasized during chapter as well as outside of the times the women meet.

Some chapters require study tables and times for their members, while others offer food to members when they come to study tables. Craig said students are always encouraged to choose studying instead of social events, and that seeing their hard work

pay off is always exciting.

Ball State Greek life has a minimum GPA requirement and it must be maintained by students.

Jillian MacNulty, vice president of recruitment for Alpha Gamma Delta, said if it is not met, there are consequences for members, including suspension.

“It is a point of pride to have smart women,” said MacNulty For the members of the Panhellenic Council, February is the scholarly month, dedicated to promoting academics and achievement in the organizations. It includes a social media campaign where people can share their studying stories using a hashtag. In another activity, members submit their individual A’s in schoolwork to compete as a chapter for a prize.

summer, according to research done by the Mayo Clinic, a notfor-profit medical research foundation. Their said tanning beds use UVA rays, which penetrate deeper than UVB rays and lead to an increased risk of melanoma.

Muncie has nine businesses with tanning beds, A bill was passed in the state Senate on Jan. 23 that banned people younger than the age of 16 from tanning. According to the Center for Disease Control, anyone who begins tanning under age 35 has a 59 percent higher risk of getting melanoma.

That isn’t the only law regarding tanning in Indiana.

People are also banned from tanning more than once in a 24-hour period.

But Cooper said that doesn’t

stop her from tanning, although she does take some precautions.

She tries to limit the amount of times she tans and only goes twice a week during the winter.

“It does scare me a little bit,” Cooper said. “I’m always checking my moles and any body markings that could cause any trouble for me.”

According to the FDA, A tan is a sign of skin damage due to radiation passing through the skin.

Having too much skin damage can lead to several cancers, including what is considered the most dangerous form of skin cancer: melanoma.

People who use tanning beds more than once a month are 55 percent more likely to develop the melanoma, according to the National Council on Skin

Cancer Prevention.

But even though people know about the dangers, they still continue to tan.

Judy Franklin, member of the customer service department at Sun Tan City, said they recommend only going tanning two or three times a week, what she considers good tanning practice.

She said Sun Tan City uses tanning beds that regulate the amount of time a person can spend in them, ranging from 12 to 20 minutes.

Cooper said although she may worry about the risks from time-to-time, tanning offers her some relaxation.

“So I get to take a break out of my day, be warm and be relaxed and kind of let things go for about 15 minutes,” Cooper said.

Bunn returned that she has learned not to take someone else’s word for what can happen with a potential issue.

She said Cardinal Connection should have reconsidered their point in regards to keeping Bracken Library open 24 hours a day during Finals Week.

“I believe we don’t have any weak points specifically because we are going to work as hard as possible to make sure platform points come true,” Hendershot said, pointing to the platform’s efforts to partner with organizations as a way to come up with funds for 24-hour library service.

SGA experience was often referenced during the debate.

Bunn has been involved with SGA for three years. She has two years of experience as a senator and this year serves as secretary of justice for the executive cabinet. The new position does not allow her to sit in Senate meetings on Wednesday afternoons.

When asked what legislation she has been most proud of, Bunn could not produce an answer but said, “I don’t have my legislation memorized, but I have a binder full of it at home.”

She said working as secretary of justice lets her represent her

constituents in other ways.

“Given more experience in SGA, you learn from being in SGA longer you don’t have to be sitting in Senate to be representing the students in your community.

[You can represent them] in an equal way, but different than how you sit in that room every Wednesday,” she said.

Hendershot is in her second year as a senator and has been very active in writing legislation. She also has been attending Campus Council and University Senate, she said.

She was proud of her work on current legislation regard-

Ball State Pan-Hellenic sorority GPA higher than female campus average PHC president says women in Greek life highly value grades KANYINSOLA AJAYI STAFF REPORTER | kiajayi@bsu.edu Ball State joined eight universities in Indiana where its members were above the rest of campus academically, according to a recent press release by the National Pan-Hellenic Conference.

The Office of Student Life released a report comparing the grades of Greek life students to that of non-Greek students. It found that, on average, women in sororites have higher GPAs than women not involved in Greek organizations.

WINTER TANNING WORSE THAN SUMMER

Artificial bed’s rays lead to increased risk of dangerous cancer KARA BERG STAFF REPORTER | knberg2@bsu.edu Although it’s too cold to don a bathing suit to catch some rays outside, that doesn’t stop many Ball State students from keeping their skin bronze during the winter.

Mikayla Cooper, a freshman merchandise major, usually goes tanning before special events.

Right now, since her sorority’s formal is approaching, Cooper has been going twice a week.

Tanning beds may be worse than the standard practice of laying outside during the

a political game in Indianapolis,” he said. “We worry about why people don’t vote, why they don’t get involved in the electoral process, why they don’t run for office — they think the system is rigged.”

But not all of the debate occurred behind closed doors.

House Republicans spent much of January in private meetings debating a second sentence to the proposed amendment that barred civil unions and raised questions about whether employers would be prohibited from offering benefits to samesex couples.

A student holds a sign reading “love is still love” during a protest on Friday. The protest sought to bring attention to the issue of marriage equality.

STUDENTS MARCH FOR LOVE EQUALITY While many students planned romantic dinners or trips to the movies, several students took to the streets, hoping to show that love can be equal, no matter the gender.

Members of Students for Creative Social Activism, Feminists for Action and Spectrum marched from the L.A. Pittenger Student Center to Shafer Tower Friday, celebrating and bringing awareness to everyone’s right to love.

People with red, green and blue equal signs painted on their faces held colorful signs with messages such as, “All you need is love” and “Love knows no gender.” The students chanted, “Black, white, gay, straight — love does not discriminate,” on the Love is Equal pride march through campus.

“We wanted to do a lighthearted Valentine’s march,” SCSA member Maggie Bastin said. “Today is definitely a day people think about love and all the different forms of it, and I think it’s good to get out and be noticed.”

Traveling up McKinley Avenue, the march was met with honks, cheers and waves from fellow students.

“Happy Valentine’s Day, guys, you’re awesome,” sophomore Sari Hammerstrom said to the group.

Once the procession reached Shafer Tower, the participants spoke out about their opposition to House Joint Resolution 3 and continued to chant various things promoting equality.

“Whether you agree or not with who we are, it’s who we are,” said Ari Hartloff, a member of Feminists for Action.

Nezbit wanted the march to let students know that equality is promoted and represented on Ball State’s campus.

“We are a unit and no matter how negative someone thinks about us, we all get to stand together and overcome this,” Hartloff said.

ing gender-neutral restrooms, and her previous work on legislation regarding House Joint Resolution 3.

“I’ve been in Senate [this year],” Hendershot challenged to Bunn. ”I know you can read the minutes, but I’ve been within Senate and working with caucuses and in committees.”

France said Hendershot is already fulfilling vice presidential qualifications by sitting in Campus Council and university Senate.

“Carli has a lot of experience writing legislation and seeing it in university Senate, which is a

part a lot of students don’t get to see,” she said.

France also supported Bunn whose said her cabinet experience brings something else to the table.

“But Gabi has cabinet experience,” she said. “We haven’t utilized our cabinet that much this year. They haven’t worked with us a whole lot, but she has that different side. How much she has done with it, I’m not sure [because it is Chloe’s cabinet].”

Freshman guard Zavier Turner tries to stay blocking a Bowling Green player Saturday at Worthen Arena. Ball State dropped the game 64-66 against Bowling Green.

BASKETBALL: Close losses hurt overall confidence during difficult season | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1 The first-year head coach called a timeout before Bowling Green forward Richaun Holmes stepped to the foul line for a bonus one-and-one free throw attempt. “I made a mistake calling a timeout when Richaun Holmes had the free throw,” Whitford said.

“I did it because I wanted to ice the shooter, but in making that decision, what I did was I had to give our team multiple options.” Holmes would miss the free throw but Ball State couldn’t capitalize on an ensuing Zavier Turner layup attempt that was blocked

by Holmes.

“Knowing that we had a lot of youth out there, if I could do it all over again, I would have let him shoot the free throws.” Whitford said. Eight games have either been close contests or have gone

to the final minutes to determine the winner. The Cardinals are 2-6 in games of that magnitude.

“I think it’s killing our confidence a little bit, and it’s hurting us after every game,” Ball State senior guard Jesse Berry said.

“At some point we’re going to have to say, ‘We’re sick of it.’ We have to come out and win.”

The Cardinals are now 1-11 in Mid-American Conference play. Four of those 11 losses have been decided within the final four minutes.

Their only win in a close conference game came against Buffalo.

“I evaluate us in two ways,” Whitford said. “I evaluate us in terms of our process, the way we’re going about things and then there’s the external validation of wins — it’s not even wins it’s just your performance, this isn’t coming up high enough for us.”

In Saturday’s home loss against Akron, it was evident Ball State was still struggling on the court.

The Ball State women’s baksetball team came out in the first half looking sluggish and shied away from physicality against their tough competition.

The team looked like they were not ready for the fast-paced tempo Akron brought.

Going into halftime, Ball State trailed with a score of 44-22 with senior Brandy Woody leading the way with six defensive rebounds.

Ball State head coach Brady Sallee felt the way Ball State practiced played into the struggles they saw on the court.

“We had a bad week in practice,” he said. “And I think we played that first half like we practiced — why, I don’t know.”

With easy baskets being missed and rebounds and assist not going their way, the team didn’t look fluid.

“When you practice like that getting ready for a good basketball team, you can’t expect to just turn it on on game day,” Sallee said.

The lack of effort was not only inexplicable to the coach as well but the players too.

“I don’t know if it’s just the effort in practice or just the willingness to be there,” Woody said. “I don’t know

The five freshmen brought talent, but not the chemistry needed for all players to connect on the court.

“We still have great chemistry,” Woody said. “But I feel like since there are so many new players, and just trying to play together ... it definitely takes a littler bit longer getting used to how everyone plays and how they act.”

Effort, consistency shows in victories Team settles down, wins final three sets in Saturday match

|

DAVID POLASKI ASSISTANT SPORTS EDITOR @DavidPolaski

Maybe Ball State should just stay on the bus.

The Cardinals men’s volleyball team knocked off both Quincy and Lindenwood over the weekend, extending its road-winning streak to five.

Over those five matches, Ball State won 15 sets, each one by an average of over five points per set.

The team’s streak comes after it dropped its first two road matches, gaining experiences it has used to succeed as of late. “We were tense, uptight, and that really translated into inability to play,� Ball State head coach Joel Walton said of his team’s early-season road loss against Penn State. “But against St. Francis,

we showed the mentality you have to have to win on the road.�

Ball State also dropped the match against St. Francis, but showed focus on its game plan, a key factor the team has taken into its winning streak.

Against Lindenwood, Ball State dropped the first set before reestablishing focus. The Cardinals went on to win the match (23-25), (25-21), (2520), (25-17).

Outside attacker Larry Wrather finished in a tie for team-high kills with 12, and had the highest attack percentage (.346) out of all players with at least 20 attacks.

Walton said his team reversed its mentality for road matches after being blown out against Penn State, a match where Ball State lacked heart and intensity. “[Against Lindenwood] Our guys were trying to get established in the first set and get used to the opposing servers,� he said. “It was like a warm-up period for us, but as we got into sets two, three

and four, our guys really settled in.�

Dropping the first set has become a theme for Ball State during the win streak on the road. In three of the five victories, Ball State fell in the first set before bouncing back. Against IPFW, they fell into a two-set hole.

Much of the success can be placed on the shoulders of Ball State’s seniors. Being seasoned veterans, younger players perform depending on how the upperclassmen act. By staying calm, Ball State has managed to stick to its game plan even when problems occur.

In the final set against Lindenwood, Ball State jumped to a quick 11-6 lead and extended it to 21-13, never allowing its opponent to gain confidence. The team quickly went on to win the match, erasing the memory of dropping the first set.

After the match, the players got back on the bus, where they’ve seemed awfully comfortable this season.

Don’t forget your friend’s birthday!

WATER: Dining services begin using new packaging alternative over bottled drinks | CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

The containers used by Boxed Water take up less space when empty, allowing them to be shipped to the filling facility at a lower fossil fuel cost.

“Cardboard is made from a renewable source,” Pichtel said. “These are supposedly well-managed and sustainable forests that will continue to be replanted [as] opposed to plastic, which is manufactured by petroleum and is a non-renewable source.”

The forests are specialized and inspected to ensure that they comply with environmentally sustainable practice and principles. They remain healthy and stable through ongoing replanting while removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

Boxed Water’s site said the company donates 10 percent of its profit to world water relief and reforestation foundations.

Sheryl Swingley, a representative for College of Communication, Information, and Media on the Council on Environment, said the campus should be rid of packaged water altogether and instead use tap water.

THE IRREFUTABLE PROOF OF

GOD

FOR INTELLIGENT PEOPLE

Believers (Christians, Muslims, Jews) are invited to view the video “Hold Your Ground” (12 min.) http://vimeo.com/85436438 Then come share your thoughts!

Pittenger Student Center Room 303 Tuesday, Feb. 18, 7-8PM

council passed a resolution encouraging the university to avoid the use of bottled water at university events to push the use of tap water.

Swingley said bottled water is barely regulated, compared to tap water.

According to Natural Resources Defense Council site, an interview with the Food and Drug Administration’s head bottled water regulator revealed that the FDA has onehalf person per year in terms of ratios dedicated to bottled water regulation.

“We already have perfectly clean water,” Swingley said.

“If you get your water from the tap, it’s tested at least four times a day from your local water company to ensure that it’s safe.”

According to NRDC, after testing more than 1,000 bottles of 103 different brands of water

in three independent labs, it found that some of the brand’s quality was insufficient. About one third of the bottled waters tested contained significant amounts of contamination in at least one test.

Jon Lewis, dining director, said Boxed Water was introduced for the first time at a Professional Association Conference a few years ago, but it was not imported or shipped because of the large carbon footprint from the trip it would make from Finland.

Last year, dining revisited the idea. The Boxed Water would be boxed at a closer location in Grand Rapids, Mich., and distributed out of Indianapolis through Costco.

“We did a trial run in the Tally food court and it flew off the shelves and became very popular,” Lewis said. “It’s not depleting other sales, and it’s

adding to the variety. With the volume that we’re selling. A lot of students like it and accept it.”

He also said the biggest problem with bottled water is that people do not recycle. The Container Recycling Institute said more than 60 million bottles end up in landfills or incinerators every day.

Lewis said the next best thing to Boxed Water is tap water, which can be found at the Pepsi soda fountains in any dining area.

“We realize in dining that portability is important for students,” he said. “We understand if you don’t have a container and you’re out and about, a bottle is portable and we don’t want to take that away from students, but we also want to educate them and help them understand what a better option might be.”
