This part of the series contains photography work featured on the second floor of the Art and Journalism Building.

See ART, page 5 Behind the lines

Jessica Maxwell’s untitled art catches the eye, and the junior photography major wants to prove why.

“The concept behind [the piece] was to bring awareness to how we subconsciously see beauty,” Maxwell said. “How we gravitate toward people who are more geometrically defined.”

Her artwork is a photo of a female profile with geometric shapes overlapped.

Each line and number of the geometric shapes represents the “perfect” distance between each feature of the face. Maxwell created the piece in Photoshop by superimposing three images on top of each other and placing the geometric shapes on top of those.

The piece stemmed from an assignment requiring Maxwell to

Normally, Scherry Hirschy likes humans and simplicity in her art work. For a recent photography project, however, the sophomore visual communications major switched to collecting forks.

The project assigned at the beginning of the semester required her to collect something, but she didn’t immediately know what she wanted to focus on.

“I was at dinner and I decided, ‘I’m going to take this fork,’” Hirschy said.

She said she didn’t always remember to take forks, but would try each time she went out to eat.

The two photos displayed in the Art and Journalism Building hallway are pieces of a four-part pho-

layer images. The subject, however, was open concept.

Though Maxwell began creating art when she was about seven years old, she took a hiatus and came to Ball State University to major in premed and genetic biology. She soon after found out that it wasn’t for her.

“I just took a whim and got into the art department and loved it ever since,” Maxwell said.

Maxwell leaves most of her work up for interpretation. She heard a saying that stated the average person looks at a piece of art for three to five seconds. Maxwell’s goal is to keep people looking at her art for at least 10 seconds.

“I try to make my work as abstract as possible, but yet poignant and striking, so that way you linger over the piece more,” Maxwell said.

to series for the project. Hirschy said she took different photos of the forks, but she wanted to make the photos more abstract and take out the identity of the fork.

“Who wants to look at a photo of fork?” Hirschy said. “I want to make it interesting.”

She also used forks to hold the photos; she got the inspiration from photo holders for photos of children that have a “swirly design.”

“It was a way to incorporate a sculptural element with the piece,” Hirschy said.

While Hirschy is happy with the overall product, she said she would not want to do it again—it was hard to arrange the forks in a beautiful way.

WOMEN’S BASKETBALL

ASSOCIATE HEAD COACH HIRED AT SOUTHEAST MISSOURI STATE Rekha Patterson, associate head coach for the Ball State women’s basketball team, has been hired as the head women’s basketball coach at Southeast Missouri State.

“I’m so happy for her, and she’s earned it,” Ball State head coach Brady Sallee said. “I know we are losing something very special from our program, but I wish her nothing but good things over at Southeast Missouri State.”

Sallee said Patterson is a huge part of the Cardinals’ success, and that she’s the person that can take the Redhawks to the top of the Ohio Valley Conference.

Patterson joined the Cardinals’ staff in 2013. She previously served on the Ball State coaching staff in 2006-07.

She also spent time under Sallee as a post coach at Eastern Illinois, as well as stints at Creighton and Baylor.

Patterson has reached the postseason in 11 of 13 years in her career.

“I’ve been doing all I can and giving her advice when she needs it, but she got here and got there because of who she is,” Sallee said. “So I’m excited to see her go do what she does.”

PROHIBITION CAME INTO EFFECT IN 1922. WE ALL KNOW HOW THAT ENDED.

James Gilbert is getting an opportunity this spring that most freshmen don’t have.

Gilbert, a freshman running back, graduated from Arsenal Tech High School in December 2014 and began classes at Ball State in the Spring 2015 semester. He is working with the team in spring practice to try and get a leg up in the team’s starting tailback competition.

“It’s been a part of my plan since my sophomore year in high school,” Gilbert said.

Gilbert was a standout in high school, as he set Arsenal Tech’s all-time rushing record with 4,817 yards. He was an all-state player as a senior.

Gilbert will participate in 15 spring practices that other incoming freshmen won’t be able to, since he graduated in December. He will also participate in the Cardinals’ Spring Game on Saturday.

CARNIVAL CONTINUES TO GROW Tradition started as way to reduce stress at end of school year

|

TRISTAN BENNINGTON STAFF REPORTER tsbennington@bsu.edu

Late Nite Carnival 2015 will feature 16 rides, a caricature artist, face painters, fireworks and more. Revelers can expect mild temperatures and negligible chances of rain, but 11 years ago, before the first Carnival, Late Nite coordinators weren’t even sure there would be an event.

“At first, many people were skeptical about the idea due to weather concerns,” Bruce Morgan, director of Student Center programs, said. “The turnout exceeded our expectations.”

The first Carnival attracted 6,150 attendees and included just six rides for Ball State students. Last year, a record number of 8,629 showed up to take part

in the festivities.

Bryan Dietz, the program coordinator for Late Nite in 2004, came from Virginia with the idea of a carnival at Ball State. The Carnival was created as an end-of-year program to give students the chance to relieve some stress and enjoy themselves as the school year ended, Morgan said.

The first Carnival required students to heavily involve themselves in the set-up process as they dug posts to make a fenced area around the Carnival.

Thanks to the work of past students, Maureen Warter, the associate director for Student Center Programs, said Carnival is an event students can look forward to every year.

“Carnival has become a tradition at Ball State, and I don’t know of any other university that has an event like this on such a big scale,” she said.

Victoria Roderick, a junior anthropology major and Late Nite

committee member, will experience her first Carnival this year.

She and other volunteering students from Late Nite aren’t digging posts, but they’re still preparing for the day Carnival opens up to Ball State students and guests.

On Wednesday, student workers started setting up rides. By tonight, they’ll know what station they’ll work at during the Carnival.

Final pieces aren’t put together until 3 p.m. Friday, allowing preregistered people to enter the Carnival at 6 p.m.

Roderick estimates the process totals about 13-15 hours of work from Late Nite workers and volunteers, but to her, it’s all worth it.

“This is the one event to end the year off with a bang before finals,” Roderick said.

“Students are graduating and everyone will be doing their own thing for the summer and future.”

This year’s Late Nite Carnival will feature 16 rides, a caricature artist, face painters, fireworks and more. Like last year, Poor Jack’s Amusements will provide the rides and games for the event. The first carnival was 11 years ago, where 6,150 people attended with only six rides to enjoy. Last year’s event attracted 8,629 people.

Keeping promises to his 4-year-old self SGA president plans to pursue acting in L.A. after graduation |

RAYMOND GARCIA CHIEF REPORTER ragarcia@bsu.edu

When he was 4 years old, the president of the Student Government Association made a contract with himself stating that after college, he would move to Los Angeles to pursue acting.

And 17 years later, Jack Hesser, a junior microbiology and botany major, plans to keep that promise.

“I’m going to do it because I don’t want 4-year-old Jack to be disappointed in me. That would be the worst,” Hesser said. “He would be so pissed at me, like you don’t even understand.”

He loves his 4-year-old self, and because of that, plans to spend two years in L.A. before going to graduate school or working for student affairs.

Hesser has always been fascinated by acting and even has a couple of independent movies under his belt, such as “Harvey Putter and the Ridiculous Premise” and “Strange Brew.”

“I think it’d be so cool to eventually have the name recognition to make impactful documentaries and have people watch them just because of your name,” Hesser said. “People watch some of those documentaries just because Morgan Freeman narrates them.”

If Hesser had been a part of the theater program at Ball State, he said he would not have been as involved in other leadership positions such as being

hadn’t been back since the war, so it was cool to see their perspective,” he said.

The group of students conducted ethnographic research and published a book titled “Millennials in Vietnam.”

“I would say traveling abroad has influenced me more than anything else in terms of my cultural perspective and how I interact with people,” he said.

The opportunities he has had to meet different people with various backgrounds have allowed him to become passionate about student government.

“I’m looking forward to connecting with students and giving them an avenue for their voice,” he said.

However, he said his different life experiences can help him tap into different roles and characters.

Some of his experiences include traveling to 14 different countries.

“He is full of energy and is very well connected at Ball State.”

She said Hesser would be great in the role of SGA president, and he presents himself in a professional yet approachable matter.

Because of this, Hesser’s future goals may surprise some people.

“I don’t think many people would look at me and say, ‘He is going to do something crazy.’ Like no, [they say], ‘He is going to go to grad school’ or, ‘He is going to get a job after he graduates.’ I think that is what everyone assumes from me,” Hesser said. “Experiences are what make up a life. Your different and incredible experiences that you have are what make life worthwhile.“

2015-2016 EXECUTIVE BOARD

City Council adds 3 new regulations, subtracts 1 to code ROSE SKELLY CHIEF REPORTER | rmskelly@bsu.edu One bike store owner considers an updated bicycle code an improvement for Muncie, but still thinks the city has room to improve.

The new code was approved April 6 and has since been signed in by Mayor Dennis Tyler and the city clerk. It was last updated in 1958, when people were still required to register their bikes with the police department.

Some of the new additions to the code include an anti-harassment law and the official installation of the Muncie Bicycle-Pedestrian Advisory Committee.

Kyle Johnson, who serves on the Muncie Bicycle-Pedestrian Advisory Committee, said the

committee was tasked with updating the bike code when it was established at the end of Summer 2014. Now that it has been signed, Johnson said the committee’s next step is to spread the word about the updated rules.

“We’ll be having a meeting pretty soon, in the next couple of weeks, to get a gameplan of how we’re going to push out some education outreach,” Johnson said.

Todd Stacey, owner of Hardin’s Bike Shop on Walnut Street, said he agrees with all the new rules in the updated bicycle code.

However, he still thinks Muncie has some steps to take to become bicycle-friendly, including keeping up the bicycle lane markings and clearing debris off the street.

“The bike lanes that are currently out there, they need to be marked yearly because even those in front of Central High School are fading pretty quickly, ... especially when it’s raining,” Stacey said.

Stacey said the way to improve

BICYCLE CODE ADDED TO THE CODE:

Designation of bicycle lanes and paths, rules restricting the use of bicycle paths, a threefoot passing rule, a law against harassment of bicyclists and the establishment of a Muncie Bicycle-Pedestrian Advisory Committee.

SUBTRACTED FROM THE CODE:

Registration of bicycles at the police department, as well as a rule that states, “No person shall operate a bicycle on a roadway when the bicycle is equipped with handlebars so raised that the operator’s hands, when upon the handlebars, will be elevated above shoulder level.”

Muncie’s bicycle receptiveness is to educate the public, drivers and cyclists alike. He said if there were billboards and media distributed with information about the new code, people would know more about the new rules ahead of time, rather than find-

ing out after being fined.

The residents of Muncie have been set in their ways for a long time, and it’s going to take time to change their mentality, he said. “[The bikers have] got away with running red lights and not obeying traffic signals and stop signs for so long that they create a lot of problems on their own too,” Stacey said.

“The bikers have to understand what’s right and what’s not, and then the automotive drivers just have to be more tuned in to the fact that there’s going to be bikers on the road.

It’s got to work both ways.”

Johnson said the bike code will make the city more attractive.

“Having an updated code to protect bicyclists and hold cyclists and vehicles responsible for their actions on the road is a good step forward to making Muncie a little more progressive and inviting to people maybe looking to locate a business or to move here,” Johnson said.

While the journey is just starting for them, it ended for outgoing vice president Bryan Kubel.

He said leading the senate meetings was the most memorable part for him during the past year. He has been in SGA since he came to Ball State.

“SGA is a part of me,” Kubel said.

He was originally the president pro tempore until he moved up to vice president after junior Carli Hendershot stepped down. It was a shock for Kubel and the rest of SGA. “I tried to make the most impact for this campus and university in the best way possible,” he said. “I am very proud of what our exec board has done in the last nine months.”

Outside of the changes on the board, the SGA also saw a change in advisers this year. The SGA introduced Associate Vice President for Student Affairs Thomas Gibson Wednesday as their new

PRESIDENT: Jack Hesser

VICE PRESIDENT: Richu Aby SECRETARY: Austin Acel TREASURER: Meagan Mullen

adviser. Gibson replaced their former adviser Jennifer Jones-Hall, who resigned from her office in March to “pursue other opportunities,” said Joan Todd, interim vice president for marketing and communications.

But during its time in office, the previous executive board completed 14 out of 17 platform points that it planned to accomplish during the year.

Outgoing secretary Rahissa Engle said she is optimistic that Atlas will accomplish many of their platform points during its term.

“We know they are going to do a really great job, because they have been working on it for a while and we know that they will get things done,” she said.

Late comeback leads to Ball State win over Butler Team improves to 23-12 overall record, prepares for series ERIC KUZNAR STAFF REPORTER | @EKuznar The Ball State baseball team scored two runs with two outs in the ninth inning to cap off a 3-2, come-frombehind victory over Butler on Wednesday.

“We pulled this one out of a hat today,” head coach Rich Maloney said. “But we will take it, and hopefully we can build on it.”

Junior Scott Tyler reached on an error to start the inning and was driven in by sophomore Matt Eppers after a single from sophomore Zach Plesac.

Plesac scored the winning run on a single from junior Ryan Spaulding. It was Spaulding’s lone hit of the game.

| THE ASSOCIATED PRESS FALL RIVER, Mass. — Former New England Patriots star Aaron Hernandez was convicted of first-degree murder and sentenced to life in prison Wednesday in a deadly late-night shooting, sealing the downfall of an athlete who once had a $40 million contract and a standout career ahead of him.

Hernandez, 25, looked to his right, pursed his lips and sat down after the jury forewoman pronounced him guilty in the slaying of Odin Lloyd, a 27-yearold landscaper and amateur weekend football player who was dating the sister of Hernandez’s fiancée. The conviction carried a mandatory sentence of life without parole and automatically triggers an appeal to Massachusetts’ highest court.

Hernandez was also found guilty on weapons charges.

your good days like today.”

The Cardinals had a good day on the mound, using five pitchers to hold the Bulldogs to two runs.

Freshman Mitch Gibson started the game, pitching five innings and allowing one earned run on eight hits.

“I thought [Gibson] did great,” Maloney said. “We were going to redshirt him, but a few weeks ago we had

a lot of injuries and were running low on pitchers, and we needed him to step up.”

Sophomore David Current and fifth-year senior Devin Wilburn combined to throw the next two innings. Current allowed four hits, but had three strikeouts.

Freshman Brendan Burns faced eight batters in the final two innings while allowing one run in the top of the ninth

before the comeback.

“The way we won was not exactly an everyday thing,” Call said.

With the win, Ball State is now 23-12 on the season. It will put its 8-4 Mid-American Conference record on the line as it begins a three-game series against Eastern Michigan on April 17.

SUNDAY The softball team concludes a two-game series at home versus Northern Illinois.

The game begins at 1 p.m.

For reasons that were never made clear to the jury, Lloyd was shot six times in the middle of the night on June 17, 2013, in a deserted industrial park near Hernandez’s home in North Attleborough.

Prosecutors presented a wealth of evidence that Hernandez was with Lloyd at the time he was killed, including home security video from Hernandez’s mansion, witness testimony and cellphone records that tracked Lloyd’s movements.

Hernandez’s lawyer, James Sultan, acknowledged for the first time during closing arguments that Hernandez was there when Lloyd was killed.

But the attorney pinned the shooting on two of Hernandez’s friends, Ernest Wallace and Carlos Ortiz, saying his client was a “23-year-old kid” who witnessed a shocking crime and didn’t know what to do. Wallace and Ortiz will stand trial later.

As a result, they never offered a motive beyond saying Hernandez appeared angry with Lloyd at a nightclub two nights before the killing.

Aaron Hernandez, a former New England Patriots player, was convicted of firstdegree murder and sentenced to life in prison on Wednesday. He is awaiting trial on murder charges in a drive-by shooting, and he is accused of gunning down two men.

Hernandez potentially faces further legal trouble: he is awaiting trial on murder charges in the drive-by shooting. He is accused of gunning down two men over a spilled drink at a nightclub.

Prosecutors said Hernandez organized the killing, sum-

moned his two friends to help carry it out and drove Lloyd and the others to the secluded spot in the industrial park. Prosecutors also accused Hernandez of pulling the trigger, though under the law it was not necessary to prove who fired the shots to convict him.

ART:

Behind the receipts

| CONTINUED FROM PAGE 1

Behind the beach

Beaches are where Sydney Patton said she has made her greatest memories. That’s why she decided to bring the sand and ocean to the Art and Journalism Building.

Her piece of art includes seashells hanging from twine with two black-and-white photos of more seashells above. Small pieces of paper attached to the twine contain

Behind the negatives

Marisa Lozano drew inspiration from her brother for two of the three pieces for her photo project.

The sophomore visual communications major wanted to represent her brother’s dreams.

He suffers from ADHD, as well as some symptoms of autism, and said he always feels lost.

Lozano wanted the photos to represent a mix between the ideas of feeling lost and

little snippets of stories.

Patton has been collecting memories and seashells during her beach visits for almost a decade. Patton said her shells weren’t just remnants of sea creatures, but symbols of her vacation memories in coastal areas.

“Their preciousness and natural exquisiteness symbolically represent the dearness of the memories I have

trapped, so she mixed images of her basement with a woodland negative.

The other photo featuring her brother shows him aiming a gun with a negative of a nude model mixed with the photo.

She said her brother talks about wanting to shoot things, but Lozano said children don’t always realize what that entails.

“That could hurt people, I really wanted to get that across,” Lozano said.

The third photo includes a

made at various seashores,” Patton said.

Patton said she wanted to convey that humans develop special bonds and memories to specific objects or collections.

The seashells in her art come from a collection she’s been accumulating since she was 12 years old. The shells come from the shores of South Carolina, Virginia, Florida and Mexico.

nude model with pastel paint on the image. Lozano mixed negatives from a photo of her basement to give the nude figure a grungy look.

After printing the image, she decided to paint it. Not everyone dreams in black and white, she said. She continued the dream-like theme by having the colors take over the form of the nude model, making it more abstract.

To Lozano, the piece is a “risk” and a “happy accident.”

DN PHOTOS

Sarah Lassiter took something often stuffed into the bottom of purses and created art by collecting and hanging up receipts as part of a film photography project.

Lassiter, a sophomore, chose receipts as her main focus because they are used everyday and offer shoppers an idea of when they were at certain locations.

“They create a map of life experiences,” she said.

While Lassiter worked on her project, she found that she was careless and unorganized, a departure from the precise and purposeful way she deals with photographs.

She channeled this by crumpling some of her receipts in a stack on the ground, like she normally would, then hung some on the wall like she would with photographs.

Behind the dream

Taylor Watkins came to Ball State as a photojournalism major, but switched to photography during his junior year. Now, he’s testing the waters of his new major with art projects.

Currently, two photos from the senior’s four-piece photo series are displayed in the Art and Journalism Building hallway. The class assignment was to take photos of something dreamlike.

Watkins interpreted the assignment as where he would go to dream. On Spring Break, Watkins went to Carolina Beach in Wilmington, N.C., where he took his dream-like photos. He wanted to show “silence in the photo” so he made sure they weren’t too dark.

So far, he’s enjoyed the

challenges of his major. He dropped the journalism major, saying he didn’t care for the writing aspect of it—he

NEW MALE BIRTH CONTROL

Vasalgel is a polymer gel that is injected into the vas deferens to block sperm from passing through the tubes while still allowing other fluids to pass.

will provide long-lasting, more effective method Does it seem safer to wear a bulletproof vest and hope it protects you, or to unload the gun before anyone gets shot?

Put another way, is the best option for birth control using barrier methods and procedures that decrease fertility, or stopping sperm from even having the chance to fertilize an egg?

A revolutionary birth control for men is expected to be on the market between 2016 and 2017, according to the Parsemus Foundation, a nonprofit that works to advance neglected medical research.

Vasalgel, a non-hormonal form of male birth control, would be administered in a single treatment by injecting a polymer into the vas deferens, the tubes that connect the testicles to the urethra. This polymer works by blocking sperm from passing through the tube while other fluids flow through.

A single treatment is expected to be as effective as a vasectomy, and could last for several years. This treatment is reversible by a second injection that removes the polymer.

The question is—would men be willing to try this new type of birth control? The only forms of contraception that give men control of preventing pregnancy are withdrawal, condoms, spermicide and a vasectomy. Women have a variety of options to choose from, such as female condoms, birth control pills and

BIRTH CONTROL

intrauterine devices. It goes without saying; the introduction of this male contraceptive levels the playing field for males and females.

Vasalgel is based on a similar polymer called Reversible Inhibition of Sperm under Guidance (RISUG), created by Dr. Sujoy Guha more than 15 years ago in India. Although this polymer is still being tested, it is being developed in the United States in correlation with Federal Drug Administration (FDA) standards.

“I would need to see a lot of research that would support how effective it is,” Nile Brandt, a graduate assistant for the Health Education Department, said. “It would have to be pretty conclusive.”

Brandt said that he would be curious as to what sort of “down time” would be required after the injection, if any, since a vasectomy requires a recovery period.

Dena Mullins, an instructor in the physiology and health science department, believes there would most likely be less recovery time because it would not be as invasive as a vasectomy.

“If this comes to market, I could see it eventually replacing vasectomy if it’s effective enough,” Mullins said.

However, Mullins believes it will not become more popular than vasectomy for many years. She said the public would most likely be wary to try it until it has been available for a while.

Vasalgel trials in baboons have proved to be effective, according to a 2014 Vasalgel update from the Parsemus Foundation. The trials injected three male baboons with Vasalgel and then put each one in a separate enclosure with 10-15 female baboons each, and no pregnancies resulted.

The Centers for Disease Control state that in 2006, 49 percent of all pregnancies

BARRIER METHODS

HORMONAL METHODS

NONMEDICAL METHODS

• Male condom: With perfect use, two out of 100 women will become pregnant each year.

• Female birth control pill: With perfect use, fewer than one in 100 women will become pregnant. “The pill” is taken once a day at the same time. Different brands allow women to choose if they wish to have their period every month, every three months or even less frequently than that.

• Withdrawal: With perfect use, four in 100 women will become pregnant.

Sometimes referred to as “pulling out,” when the penis is removed before ejaculation occurs.

• Female condom: With perfect use, five out of 100 women will become pregnant. A female condom is similar to a male condom, except it is shaped more like a pouch and has a soft ring at each end. The condom is inserted into the vagina with one ring covering the cervix and the larger ring on the outside covering parts of the labia.

• Diaphragm: With perfect use, six out of 100 women will become pregnant.

A diaphragm is domeshaped, made of rubber and fits over the cervix.

• Spermicide: With perfect use, 18 out of 100 women will become pregnant.

It kills sperm with the chemical Non-oxynol-9.

• Female patch: With perfect use, fewer than one in 100 women will become pregnant. The contraceptive patch is a square that sticks onto the abdomen, buttocks, upper arm or upper torso.

• Vaginal ring: With perfect use, fewer than one in 100 women will become pregnant. The vaginal ring is a thin, flexible ring inserted into the vagina. It is left in place for three weeks and then removed for one week.

The process is repeated.

• Fertility Awareness: With perfect use, three to five women in 100 will become pregnant.

Through months of observation, a woman is able to tell when she is most fertile, and chooses to only have unprotected sex when she is not ovulating.

PERMANENT METHODS • Vasectomy: less than one in 100 women. A method of sterilization that involves minor surgery to cut the vas deferens to stop sperm from being ejaculated.

in the United States were unintended.

The highest rate of unintended pregnancies occurs in teens less than 15 years old, with 98 percent of pregnancies being accidental.

Still, initial opinions of the developing procedure seem optimistic, but skeptical.

“I think it would be fabulous if there was something else for a man to use, especially in a committed relationship,” Mullins said.

“I’d be okay with it,” Noah Rashid, a junior animation major, said.

“You’re kind of dealing with the problem at the source.”

“The way of administering it seems kind of sketchy,” Chris Joy, a sophomore criminal justice major, said. “I kind of wish it would be more like a pill, like female birth control.”

“It sounds like it could be really helpful, especially since condoms aren’t 100 percent effective,” Rashid said.

Based on the birth control currently available, women have more options than men. Vasalgel would provide men with the opportunity to use a long-lasting, more effective method.

This would give men more control over their futures and allow them to abstain from having children, without the commitment of sterilization. story: alex kincaid Male condom is a common method of barrier birth control.

CARDINAL CONNECTION’S SGA REPORT CARD: B

AT ISSUE: The Daily News editorial board evaluates the outgoing Student Government Association executive slate Although Cardinal Connection did not accomplish all of its platform points, the slate succeeded by adapting to solve problems and challenges.

In some cases, the slate had to decide a point was not possible. Oftentimes, the slate had to delay points, but still pursued them.

But what seemed to be the largest challenge was former Vice President Carli Hendershot’s resignation in early September. Hendershot

stepped down after being hospitalized and diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression. Bryan Kubel, who was the president pro tempore, stepped into Hendershot’s role. The slate moved forward despite the setback.

The slate had a pivotal role in coordinating Cardinal Kitchen and the Step In. Speak Up. campaign, both of which have been very successful.

In addition, the slate worked to connect SGA to the stu-

dents. SGA made a public Google Drive folder with legislation, contact information, office hours and more for students who wanted access. Cardinal Connection’s monthly table helped make SGA more accessible to the student body.

Despite those successes, we had to consider the slate’s failure to execute all of its platform points. Cardinal Connection completed many of its points, though some with a delay or signifi-

cant adjustments, and failed to complete a couple. Neither of the slate’s Bracken-related points succeeded, and the slate was unable to create an Emerging Leaders Retreat.

However, these points did not fail from lack of trying.

University Libraries did not approve to keep Bracken open throughout finals.

The slate tried to adapt the Emerging Leaders Retreat into an SGA Mentorship Program, but canceled it due to lack of student interest.

ONLINE

To see what the slate did to fulfill its platform points, go to ballstatedaily.com

In the end, the slate completed or partially completed 14 out of 17 points. Some of those points will not happen in full until the summer or fall.

For these reasons, the Daily News has decided to give Cardinal Connection a B for its work on campus, a higher grade than its two predecessors.

Get connected with campus Today’s Birthday (4/16/15) Share your passion this year.

A new love grows. Your career (and income) flourish through communicative arts. Write, record and perform. Prepare to launch an educational journey after 6/14. New professional opportunities arise after 10/13. Harvest personal growth and development after 10/27. Apply what you learn for meaningful collaborations. Dare to lead from your heart.

To get the advantage, check the day’s rating: 10 is the easiest day, 0 the most challenging.

Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is an 8. You’re taking control, with both Sun and Moon in your sign. You’re getting more sensitive. Begin a self-confident phase.

Heart and mind are in sync today and tomorrow. You’re more assertive. Ask for what you really want.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 7. Make more time for contemplation today and tomorrow. Take things slow and easy. Consider all options before taking action.

Plan your moves. Research for bargains. Go treasure hunting. Retreat from the world to rest and recharge.

Gemini (May 21-June 20) Today is a 9. Friends have what you need. Schedule meetings for today and tomorrow. Align on shared priorities. Delegate tasks.

Make sure what you build is solid. Make required changes. Circumstances dictate your actions. Support comes from unexpected directions.

Cancer (June 21-July 22) Today is an 8. Career matters emerge for your consideration over the next two days.

Make a power play. Expect trouble with scheduling. A change in plans opens previously-unavailable options.

Prepare to make your move. Angels guide your actions.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Today is a 9. Plan your itinerary.

Travel conditions look excellent today and tomorrow.

The news affects your choices. Begin an intense expansion phase. A conference, class or business trip offers enticing opportunities. Study and prepare. All systems go!

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Today is an 8. Follow the money over the next two days. Don’t let a windfall slip through your fingers. Changes necessitate budget revisions. Negotiate favorable terms. Collaborate for shared profit and track expenses, or deal with a mess later.

Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) Today is an 8. Begin a lucky and cuddly phase. Prioritize love for the next two days. You have lots of emotional support. Don’t wait another minute to make a romantic proposal. Get creative. Add artistry to a passionate declaration.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 9. Work from home and spend more time with family. Domestic bliss provides a seductive temptation. Plan a luxurious evening. Beautify your space, and then invite loved ones over. Share a home-cooked meal with family. Flowers are a lovely touch.

Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) Today is a 9. Your partner requires some loving attention. Be willing to share responsibilities more than usual over the next few days.

Do some heavy lifting. You’re scoring points. Do more than your share of the work. It’s worth it.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Today is a 9. You learn voraciously over the next few days. You’re sharp as a tack, and see business opportunities that others miss. Write promotional copy. Talk about what you’re discovering. Share useful tools and information with your networks.

Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 9. Dig into a big job and work out the details. It’s getting extra busy.

It could get intense. Don’t skimp on providing great service. Delegate tasks. Use an outside provider if necessary. De-stress with exercise and friends.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) Today is an 8 . Your morale (and your wallet) get a boost over the next two days. It could get quite profitable. Rake in an abundant harvest from the seeds you planted earlier. Keep track of income and expense. Send invoices.
